• Eleven Contemporary Kitchen; the Taming of the Corkscrew

Imagine designing a Shrine to Beer. Now imagine visiting this shrine after it's been transformed into a Temple of Wine. You may remember the once-glorious "shrine" as Valhalla; the newly opened and completely renovated "temple" is Eleven, Big Burrito's latest offering to Pittsburgh's culinary scene. Eleven offers a whopping 36 different wines by the glass and gives you the fantabulous opportunity to enjoy them in an entirely smoke-free atmosphere.

• Corkscrew Can Thwart Strokes

SAN DIEGO - A tiny experimental corkscrew threaded deep into the brain can pluck out deadly blood clots and stop a stroke in its tracks, potentially giving doctors an entirely new tool against this major killer. Nearly 90 percent of all strokes result from clots that lodge in the brain's arteries, cutting off circulation and starving brain cells of oxygen and nutrition. The goal of the new device is to extract these clots before they do permanent harm.

• Unblock the Effects of Stroke ; New Procedure Uses Corkscrew-Like Tool to Remove Clot and Restore Blood Flow

v Stroke 101 * A stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, the part of the brain cut off from the blood and oxygen starts to die and parts of the body controlled by that part of the brain are weakened.
