Beijing Coma (2008)
by Ma Jian
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
It took a lot of perseverance (and a long break halfway through) to get through this book, but I think it was worth it in the end. Paints a horrifying picture of Communist China before and after Tienanmen Square.
A fascinating portrait of China and its recent history. Beijing Coma is told through the eyes of Dai Wei, a student protester who falls into a coma after the Tienanmen Square protest of 1989. Dai Wei's recounting of the energy of the student protesters brings their movement to life and details of life in China highlight the practices the students were fighting against. However, one of the most interesting things about this novel is the depiction of the changes China experienced after the Tienanmen Square protest. Despite his coma, Dai Wei hears of the changes, of the new kinds of jobs, of new technologies, and the transformation of China he grew up in. I would recommend this novel to anyone with an interest in China today.
Ma Jian's "Beijing Coma" traces the events leading up to the Tiananmen Square massacre through the eyes of one of its victms. Dai Wei, shot in the head, and trapped in a coma remembers his life while China continues to undergo rapid change. Remembering his father's imprisonment during China's Cultural Revolution, he traces the brutality of life in China under a repressive government. He recalls hustling in China's emerging economy and the beginnings of economic liberalization, and provides an account of being a Beijing Univeristy student during the Tiananmen Square movement.
Dai Wei, as head of security for the student movement, provides perspectives on the passionate, yet contentious student leadership, filled with power struggles and a doomed romanticism. Ma Jian's writing captures the confusion and excitement of being in the movement, and the bulk of the novel recounts the hunger strike and days leading up to the Tiananmen Square massacre. The paranoia and ruthlessness of the government is exposed while the irrationality and anger of the students is pursued as well. The ending sequence of Beijing Coma is shocking for the violence used against students protesting for Democracy. Ma Jian, also a participant in the movement, creates an admirable telling of a tale China would like to forget.
Beijing Coma has two narrative streams, the flashbacks to the student movement, and Dai Wei's life in a coma cared for by his mother. Trapped in his body, but able to hear, Dai Wei spends ten years in bed. Visited by friends, he discovers the sudden economic changes China undergoes, while hearing which friends have become wealthy and which continue to suffer under China's regime. As a student protestor, his mother is forbidden to seek official medical care for her son and is routinely visited by the security bureau. Her search for alternative treatments eventually leads her to the Falun Gong, once again exposing the family to the government's repressive practices. With the family apartment about to be bull – dozed for a new shopping mall in preparation for the Beijing Olympics, the sense of progress and need for cohesiveness at all costs is given, while Beijing Coma's dark humor and tragic telling of China's modern history lingers.
Excerpt from my review at
This is not a book for the faint hearted. Dai Wei lies in a coma after being shot in the head during the Tiananmen Square massacre. As a scientist, he is aware of the degradation of his body with clinical detail. His present -- tended by his faltering mother -- merges with his past, especially his months as a student activist and the final days of the democracy movement. Most of his friends have moved on -- some have moved abroad and some are prosperous members of the new China. It is clear, however, that the new China is as corrupt and oppressive as the world. Dai Wei is left to wonder if there is anything worthwhile left for him. This book is poetic, exciting in parts, a bit revolting (Dai Wei is hypersensitive to smells and records them in detail) and also is and feels very long. You will feel like you have truly experienced Dai Wei's Beijing coma.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0374110174, Hardcover)Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: Like a latter-day Rip Van Winkle, a troubled young man slumbers away for ten years. While he slowly retraces the experiences that brought him into this dream state, the world around him morphs into a nearly unrecognizable place. The place is not a mountain fairyland in pre-Revolutionary America, but China at the turn of the twenty-first century. And, our story's hero is not a beleaguered farmer seeking solace among the mountains and rivers, but a promising graduate student named Dai Wei who was shot in the head during the pro-democracy protests in 1989 at Tiananmen Square. Beijing Coma is an unexpectedly visceral and daring work of fiction by critically acclaimed author Ma Jian that explores why a promising young student would risk it all in the spring of 1989. In this ingeniously constructed novel--which sets Dai Wei's internal recollections against the contemporary changes occurring beyond him--Ma Jian reveals the profound personal consequences of that historic struggle for freedom--long after the CNN cameras stopped rolling. --Lauren Nemroff

Awakening after a decade of unconsciousness, former Tiananmen Square protester Dai Wei learns that his mother had sold one of his kidneys to finance his care, and that the China he knew has undergone radical change.

PALMDALE - A 36-year-old man suspected in the shooting death of a 17-year-old Palmdale boy was jailed today with bail set at $1 million.
The victim, identified by Lt. Joe Bale of the Los Angeles County coroner's office as Christopher Andrew Flores, was shot around 9 p.m. Monday in the 38100 block of Boxthorn Street, according to the Sheriff's Department.
Suspect Victor Flores, 36, was arrested at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday and was jailed at the sheriff's Palmdale Station, according to online booking records.
The shooting stemmed from a feud between neighbors, said Deputy Irys Alvarez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
Deputies responding to a call reporting an assault with a deadly weapon found the teenager with multiple gunshot wounds, Alvarez said.
He was pronounced dead at a hospital, she said.
Authorities could not say if the victim and suspect are related.

CORTLAND — Seven different players scored goals to lead the Plattsburgh State women's hockey team to a 7-1 win over Cortland State Saturday afternoon in ECAC West action at Alumni Arena.
The first-ranked Cardinals (18-0-1, 11-0 ECAC West) built a 3-0 lead after the first period as Jenny Kistner, Andrea Ziesmann and Shannon Stewart each scored.
"We wanted to get out to a good start and win the game in the first period," Plattsburgh coach Kevin Houle said. "I think we accomplished that scoring three goals. It certainly didn't put them away, but it took the life out of them."
The Cardinals added two goals, both on the power play from Giovanna Senese and Alyssa Parke, in the second period for a 5-0 advantage while outshooting the Red Dragons 26-3.
"I thought the second period was our best period of the hockey game," Houle said. "We had quality opportunities, and it was a solid effort. It's good to our players go out and not take these games for granted."
Senior captain Teal Gove opened the third with a power-play goal 30 seconds into the period before Cortland's Maggie Giamo netted a short-handed marker 47 seconds later with a shot from the far-side circle. Ali Vakos completed the scoring with a one-timer in front at 11:14.
Senese led the Cardinals with one goal and two assists. Kistner, Parke and Ziesmann each had one goal and one assist. Gove, Vakos and Stewart netted one tally a piece. Sophomore goalie Ally Ross stopped seven of the eight shots she faced.
"We did some different things throughout the course of the weekend with our lineup," Houle said. "We made some changes and moved some kids around for both games to look at different line combinations. I was pleased with a lot of them. (Senese) had a nice game and is really coming into her own."

50th anniversary of Telstar 1 communications satellite launch: Queen's University expert
Queen's University communication expert Vincent Mosco is available to talk about the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Telstar 1 communications satellite (July 10, 1962) which ushered in a new era of communications.
Dr. Mosco remembers the excitement caused by the launch 50 years ago and says the impact extends far beyond the fact that it provided TV audiences in North America and Europe with the first live transatlantic television feed.
"In the days before the Internet, communication satellites covered the world and launched a revolution in global communication. Satellites made international communication more cost effective because you didn't need to deploy ships to install and maintain undersea cables. In the 1960s and 70s, international business began to expand and satellites made it possible because you could easily transfer data around the world. Early satellites also had national defence implications because governments could now monitor their adversaries' troops and equipment," says Dr. Mosco.
Dr. Mosco is a professor emeritus who specializes in the sociology of communication and information technology and is the author of numerous books on communication, technology and society (including The Political Economy of Communication). He has held research positions in the U.S. government with the White House Office of Telecommunication Policy and U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment.
Please note that Dr. Mosco, who is based in Ottawa, is not available for TV interviews on Friday, July 6.
To arrange an interview, please contact communication officers Michael Onesi (office: 613.533.6000 ext. 77513, email@example.com) or Anne Craig (office: 613-533-2877, firstname.lastname@example.com) at Queen's University News and Media Services Department in Kingston, Ont., Canada.
Follow Queen's News and Media Services on Twitter: http://twitter.com/QueensuMedia
Attention broadcasters: Queen's has facilities to provide broadcast quality audio and video feeds. For television interviews, we can provide a live, real-time double ender from Kingston via fibre optic cable. Please call for details.

Young entrepreneurs from Oxfordshire schools showcase ideas at business event (From Herald Series)

Young entrepreneurs from Oxfordshire schools showcase ideas at business event
7:30am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News By Ben Wilkinson, Crime Reporter, also covering Barton and Wood Farm. Call me on (01865) 425427
THEY may not have been to many music festivals yet.
But school business students at St Helen and St Katharine School in Abingdon are hoping their innovative way of keeping your valuables safe at festivals will be snapped up by a High Street retailer.
They were showing off their wrist wallets at the Young Enterprise fair held at the Templars Square Shopping Centre, Oxford, on Saturday.
Year 12 student Annabel Record, 17, said the school business Spectrum was due to pitch the idea to a high street retailer, adding: "We know there is nothing like this on the market."
The event was part of the Young Enterprise competition and saw 21 business teams from county schools set up to trade. Susan Ledgard-Hoile, Young Enterprise manager for Oxfordshire, said the fair came after months of planning, with students coming up with ideas for products at the start of the school year in September.
She said: "They have all worked incredibly hard and this is the first chance to test their products with the wider public rather than their friends and family.
"It is also an opportunity to see what the other schools are doing.
"It makes them feel part of a bigger picture."
She said a mystery shopper had toured the stalls, and prizes will be awarded for categories including best customer service and best product.
The students are all year 10 or year 12 pupils aged 14 to 17.
Bloxham School pupil Tom Ward, 17, was part of a team selling tie-dye T-shirts for £9.
He said: "It's fun, it is unisex, it is quite a broad market and they are quite popular at the moment."
A team from Oxford Spires Academy were selling their £15 solar-powered mobile phone chargers called i-Solars.
Behraam Khan, 16, said the team came up with the idea after becoming frustrated with problems trying to charge their mobiles.
He said their charger would fully charge a phone in an hour and could be used on most mobiles.
Kashif Hussain, 17, said he had fun selling the product to shoppers, adding: "It's amazing. We are enjoying it."
Abingdon School pupils were selling their sustainable and easy-clean bird boxes named Home Tweet Homes.
David Mackney, 14, said it was good to see the product go on sale. He said: "We have had great interest."

Edward Disinherits Tracy: Over and Over
Despite the fact that he's a manipulative busybody who uses money and power as weapons, there's something likable about Edward Quartermaine. It's just that no one knows what it is.
Just ask his daughter Tracy. She's been disinherited so many times she's lost count. But let's face it - in Tracy's case, the apple hasn't fallen far from the twisted tree.
Edward tested Tracy's loyalty by faking a heart attack and asking for his medicine - just as he was about to sign a will disinheriting her. Does it need saying that Tracy just stood there and did nothing? Yes, she saw Bette Davis in "The Little Foxes" and acted accordingly. When the ruse was revealed moments later, Tracy found herself out of the will.
In 1989, Edward went on a fishing trip and disappeared. Before he left, he rewrote his will and left everything to Tracy's son, Ned Ashton. Anna Devane found Edward doing the "Lost" routine in the Bahamas and returned him to the quasi-loving arms of his family. Once back, he disinherited Tracy again when she ran over her daughter-in-law, Jenny Eckert. Hey, Edward, accidents happen!
Brother against Brother; Cousin against Cousin
Edward's favorite trick has always been pitting relatives against one another. He loaned A.J. money to invest in the Port Charles Hotel, of which Ned was already a partial owner.
In 1996, infuriated that Ned was pursuing a career as singer Eddie Main, Edward purchased Ned's record company, L&B Records. Jax helped Lois, Ned's wife, regain control of the company, and Jax wound up on the ELQ board, which made Edward miserable. It was, after all, his flagship company. Then Jax and Tracy plotted to take over ELQ. Oops - Tracy gets disinherited again.
Then there was Edward's plot to split up Emily and Zander Smith. This time, Edward fakes a mugging and says that Zander did it. When Zander was arrested, Edward made a deal with hijm to stop seeing Emily, and he'd drop the charges. It didn't work - the truth was revaled, and Edward was out of luck.
A Dead Child Appears
Edward received a real slap in the face when Skye Chandler appeared. Skye was the daughter of Alan and ae Cummings. Alan nearly fainted. He thought Skye died as a baby. Why? Edward sold her, and Rae's doctor informed her that her baby had died. At the time of her appearance as an adult, however, Edward felt he could use her, as he was having problems with both Ned and A.J. Skye managed to get enough votes to take control of ELQ from Edward - she was never interested in working with him, only against him.
Edward suffered a heart attack, and while he was in the hospital, he disinherited the entire family and left everything to his nurse Melissa. Small problem there - Melissa was an angel of death, so Edward might have met his maker if she hadn't been caught. Edward was always falling for nut jobs, Katherine Bell and Heather Webber among them.
Edward's unfatherly crimes are too many to mention; he goes from generation to generation causing trouble. However, it has to be admitted, there is something likable about him. If only someone could tell us what it is.

Girl Scout collects food for the needy to earn Gold Award
CYPRESS (April 4, 2011) – Girl Scout Ambassador Rachelle H. donated baking items and fresh produce to more than 250 families in need during the winter holidays to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned I can do anything if I put my mind to it, no matter how grand the task," says Rachelle, a senior at Cy-Fair High School. "I love helping people and sacrificing my own time to do so."
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I was looking for a project that would help people in my area the most," explains Rachelle. "Finding one that provided nutritious and seasoned foods for the needy was a perfect fit, since I was able to help over 250 to 300 families."
Rachelle collected more than 596 baking items and fresh produce from 75 people. With the supplies, she made 100 baskets of baking items and 250 boxes of fresh produce to donate to Cypress Assistance Ministries, an organization devoted to helping families in need. After donating all the items to CAM, she helped the organization deliver the baskets and boxes.
"Rachelle learned that doing a large project like this take lots of thought and planning," says Camille and Mike Havelka, Rachelle's parents. "She also had to be flexible if something had to change. She matured and showed lots of determination to complete this project."
As an active member of Girl Scouts, Rachelle has earned her Bronze and Silver Awards and is a troop officer and top cookie seller. At Cy-Fair High School, Rachelle is involved in the National Honor Society and has won numerous awards in band. Following graduation, she plans to attend University of North Texas to become a physician's assistant.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Have you narrowed down the page to just those scripts causing it? Aka, if you take them out, does it not crash?
If it doesn't crash, see if only one of them is causing the crash. Aka just have one in there at a time. See if it crashes. If it does, try the other one. If you decide both of them are causing crashes, than we need to move this thread to the Javascript forum, as something in those scripts are probably causing the crash.
Need to sort this out first. Actually, I'll request a move since this is clearly a Javascript issue .Always looking for web design/development work.

I'm not in the least surprised -- scripted shims are fragile enough; trying to run TWO of them at the same time; that's just begging for it to blow up in your face. Tossing jquery nonsense on top of that and you've likely so completely over-thought your page you'll be lucky if the traffic isn't 100% bounce and it crashes even modern browsers.
To me it sounds like you are ice-skating uphill with technologies not ready for use on production websites. Likely not your fault with all the idiotic bad advice out there about HTML 5 that seems to exist for the sole purpose of nube predation; selling new books and seats at lectures, instead of promoting good coding habits, practical and easy to maintain methodologies, and doing what the web is actually for -- delivering content to users.
That said, your snippets are gibberish without seeing what it is all that scripting is being applied TO. The shivs could be getting confused by invalid markup -- whatever it is you're loading the jquery for could be latching onto the window events impropery or conflicting -- Without actually seeing the page in question, anything we tell you is a wild guess based on no real facts.

A low-carb diet limits carbohydrates — such as grains, starchy vegetables and fruit — and emphasizes dietary protein and fat. Many types of low-carb diets exist, each with varying restrictions on the types and amounts of carbohydrates you can eat.
A low-carb diet is generally used to lose weight. Some low-carb diets say that they have health benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing risk factors associated with heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Why you might follow a low-carb diet
You might choose to follow a low-carb diet because you:
Check with your doctor or health care provider before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions, including diabetes.
As the name says, a low-carb diet restricts the amount of carbohydrates you can eat. Carbohydrates are a type of macronutrient found in many foods and beverages. Most carbohydrates occur naturally in plant-based foods, such as grains. Food manufacturers also add carbohydrates to processed foods in the form of starch or added sugar.
Common food sources of naturally occurring carbohydrates include:
Your body uses carbohydrates as its main fuel source. Sugars and starches are broken down into simple sugars during digestion. They're then absorbed into your bloodstream, where they're known as blood sugar (glucose). From there, the glucose enters your body's cells with the help of insulin. Some of this glucose is used by your body for energy, fueling all of your activities, whether it's going for a jog or simply breathing. Extra glucose is stored in your liver, muscles and other cells for later use or is converted to fat.
The theory behind the low-carb diet is that insulin prevents fat breakdown in the body by allowing sugar to be used for energy. Proponents of the low-carb diet believe that decreasing carbs results in lower insulin levels, which causes the body to burn stored fat for energy and ultimately helps you shed excess weight and reduce risk factors for a variety of health conditions.
Typical menu for a low-carb diet
In general, a low-carb diet focuses on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some nonstarchy vegetables. A low-carb diet generally excludes or limits most grains, beans, fruits, breads, sweets, pastas and starchy vegetables, and sometimes nuts and seeds. Some low-carb diet plans allow certain fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A daily limit of 50 to 150 grams of carbohydrates is typical with a low-carb diet. Some low-carb diets greatly restrict carbs during the initial phase of the diet and then gradually increase the number of allowed carbs.
In contrast, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calorie intake. So, if you consume 2,000 calories a day, you would need to eat between 900 and 1,300 calories a day from carbohydrates, or between 225 and 325 grams of carbohydrates a day.
Weight loss
Most people can lose weight on almost any diet plan that restricts calories and what you can eat — at least in the short term. Over the long term, though, studies show that it's common to regain the lost weight, regardless of the diet plan you follow. Some studies also have shown that people who continued to follow certain low-carb diet plans for two years lost an average of nearly 9 pounds (4.1 kilograms) overall, which is similar to the amount of weight lost on higher carbohydrate diets. And it may not be just cutting carbs that leads to weight loss. Some studies show that you may shed some weight because you eat less on low-carb diets because the extra protein and fat keep you feeling full longer.
Other health benefits
Some low-carb diets, including the Atkins Diet, say that their eating plans can prevent or improve serious health conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. In fact, almost any diet that helps you shed excess weight can reduce or even reverse risks factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Most weight-loss diets — not just low-carb diets — may improve blood cholesterol or blood sugar levels, at least temporarily. Low-carb diets may improve HDL cholesterol and triglyceride values slightly more than do moderate-carb diets. And it may not only be how many carbs you eat but also the kinds of carbs you eat that are important to your health. Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits and low-fat dairy products, for instance, are generally healthier than are carbs from sweets and processed and refined grains, such as potato chips, white bread and white rice.
If you suddenly and drastically cut carbs, you may experience a variety of temporary health effects, including:
In addition, some diets restrict carbohydrate intake so much that they can result in nutritional deficiencies or insufficient fiber. This can cause such health problems as constipation, diarrhea and nausea. Eating carbs that are high fiber, whole grain and nutrient dense can improve the health profile of some low-carb diet programs. And some low-carb diets, such as Atkins, now recommend taking small amounts of extra salt, along with vitamins or supplements, to help prevent diet side effects.
It's also possible that severely restricting carbohydrates to less than 20 grams a day can result in ketosis. Ketosis occurs when you don't have enough sugar (glucose) for energy, so your body breaks down stored fat, causing ketones to build up in your body. Side effects from ketosis can include nausea, headache, mental fatigue and bad breath.
It's not clear what kind of possible long-term health risks a low-carb diet may pose because most research studies have lasted less than a year. Some health experts believe that if you eat large amounts of fat and protein from animal sources your risk of heart disease or certain cancers may increase.

"After nearly 15 years of publishing seven days a week, I do not take this decision lightly," McNeely said, "but eliminating the Monday edition strengthens our financial position, thus ensuring our presence here for years to come."
The newspaper's final Monday edition will be New Year's Eve. It will not publish a printed Monday edition starting Jan. 7.
Now in its 140th year, the Daily Mountain Eagle converted from a twice-weekly newspaper to a daily publication on May 2, 1960, then printing five days a week Monday through Friday.
The award-winning newspaper added its Sunday edition on May 25, 1986, and later became a seven-day publication when it added Saturday on April 4, 1998.
According to McNeely, no adjustments will be made to current subscription rates. "In effect, dropping our Monday edition keeps us from increasing subscription rates across the board," he says.
At the current monthly rate of $10.25, subscribers will actually pay less than five cents more for the paper each day on a six-day publication schedule. "It still averages less than 40 cents per day," explains McNeely, who earlier this year reduced the monthly EZ-Pay rate to $9.75.
However, through the end of the year subscribers will have an opportunity to take advantage of rates that will average much less than current daily averages, the publisher notes.
"Next Sunday we launch our most aggressive Holiday subscription special ever, which offers up to 27 percent off our current annual subscription rate. This special will more than offset the loss of the Monday edition," McNeely says.
The Holiday special includes a 12-month, carrier-delivery subscription of only $89.99. A six-month subscription will be $49.99. No discounts will be available for quarterly or monthly subscriptions. The Holiday special starts Monday, Nov. 19, and will end Dec. 31.
Home-delivery subscribers also receive the new Walker Magazine, a glossy magazine distributed quarterly in January, April, July and October.
The decision to drop a publication day follows similar decisions by other daily newspapers here in Alabama and nationwide. The Anniston Star dropped its Monday edition most recently.
And, of course, the state's three largest metro newspapers in Huntsville, Birmingham and Mobile converted to a three-day print schedule last month in an effort to prioritize their joint digital presence with AL.com. They also collectively reduced their workforce by more than 400.
"No one will lose their job at the Daily Mountain Eagle due to the elimination of our Monday printed edition," assures McNeely. "And there are no plans for additional cuts in publication days."
Monday editions are commonly the least profitable editions for daily newspapers in any market, according to McNeely. And significant increases in production costs make it difficult for small-market newspapers to break even on Mondays, he noted.
The cost of newsprint alone has more than tripled since the Daily Mountain Eagle started publishing seven days a week. "And during the past 15 years we have made minimal rate adjustments to offset those costs. We just cannot continue to absorb the escalating costs of producing a printed newspaper seven days a week," McNeely says.
In the meantime, the Daily Mountain Eagle continues to invest in its people and the community. This year alone, the newspaper has invested more than $100,000 in prepress computer hardware and software upgrades and is currently investing $50,000 in interior and exterior renovations of its Jasper office space located at 1301 East Viking Dr.
In addition to its new quarterly magazine, the newspaper this year has also upgraded its AP wire service to include photos, updated to daily TV listing grids and added local features such as arrest reports, restaurant ratings and a new business section on Wednesdays.
And the newspaper continues its fundraising efforts this Holiday season with its annual, nonprofit Daily Mountain Eagle Christmas Shoe Fund drive, which annually supports more than 500 area children.
"It is our goal here to be a good steward of the community. That will never change," McNeely concludes.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Lionel Messi scored his 49th and 50th goals of the season to lead Barcelona to a 2-0 win at Racing Santander in the Spanish league on Sunday.
Four days after scoring a Champions League-record five goals in Barcelona's 7-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen, Messi reached the 50-goal mark for the second straight season and closed to within five of matching Cesar Rodriguez's all-time club record of 235.
Barcelona' fourth straight victory kept it 10 points behind runaway leader Real Madrid, but with 12 rounds to play the defending champions' chances of catching their fierce rival are dwindling.
Messi broke through Racing's 10-man defense in the 29th minute, and the three-time FIFA World Player of the Year added a penalty in the 56th.

Why have a seat behind the opposing bench if you can't have a little fun with it? These Nashville Predators fans are certainly getting their money's worth, taking every opportunity to ham it up for the camera.
They are expert videobombers who may get into a fight with the bench before the night is over.
It started off fairly mild.
And then they all got in on the action..
We're only at the first intermission, but it appears these gentlemen could go all night.

By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — ELLENBURG — Two people want to fill on open seat on Northern Adirondack Central School Board, to be decided in a special election on Monday.
Claire Bosley Lambert and Shirley Durnin are vying for the unexpired seat of Stephen Peryea, who recently resigned.
District voters may participate in the special election from noon to 8 p.m. in the District Office lobby, the only polling place.
The candidate who receives the most votes will serve the remaining two years of Peryea's term, beginning July 1 and ending in June 2015.
Here are the candidates' responses to questions posed by the Press-Republican:
If elected to the School Board, what would you most like to accomplish?
Bosley Lambert: "As a parent of three current students in the district, I feel it is my civic duty to give all students the opportunity for a quality education with the resources available.
"While I understand it is a challenge at times, I think there are creative ways to make this possible, even with the financial constraints we are faced with. I feel that academic and extra-curricular programs are equally important in the future of all students."
Durnin: "Our district has made great progress with the EXCEL building project nearing completion. I want to continue needed improvement to our facilities and to maintain the improvements already made, so no expensive costs appear down the road.
"I would offer support and provide opportunities for staff members to obtain needed professional development to assist them when dealing with the new accountability reviews and the new Common Core Standards.
"I also would want to remain current in the role of a School Board member."
In addition, Durnin said she would continue to promote high academic standards and support opportunities for gifted learners.
How would you go about accomplishing your goal?
Bosley Lambert: "As a new board member, it will take some time to educate myself on the workings of a school board, but I will be sure to listen to taxpayers and the school community."
Durnin: "It is important to build a collaborative relationship among all stakeholders. With that comes a sense of trust and a dedication to ethical practices and mutual respect.
"My years as a town supervisor have afforded me many opportunities to interact with the public, manage financial assets and make responsible decisions on a daily basis that will benefit all of our children, not just a few."
How would you balance the fiscal concerns of taxpayers with the education needs of students?
Bosley Lambert: "It seems like it is a constant battle to balance the budget with the educational needs of the students, but I am excited to face this ongoing challenge that all districts are faced with."
Durnin: "Setting priorities is key. We have to maintain the integrity of programs directly affecting our children first, while still providing a well-balanced education. Studying cost-saving measures that have the least impact on our children would be a priority."

East County elementaries seek new leadership
Date: May 12, 2009

Dive into the teachings of the most important scriptures in yoga, the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita brings together knowledge and action, inner and outer, individual and society, man and God. All of life is presented as a perfectly complete organic wholeness, leaving nothing unsaid and attempting to solve every problem of life. Thus, the Bhagavad Gita has been acclaimed to be a gospel of life.
Come and experience these simple yet complex teachings and learn to live a life deeply rooted in service to humanity and the world at large.
"The Gita embodies in itself a solution to the immediate pressing problems of man and carries a message of encouragement, hope, cheer and consolation. It is a direct appeal to divinize the entire nature of man. This little book of 701 verses is a constant companion for every man. It gives man a positive promise of salvation and makes him fearless. Therein lies the supreme value of the Gita." Swami Sivananda 1st January 1946

The A's answered a lot of lingering injury questions leftover from the end of the season today:
A recent MRI revealed that Parker has a right forearm strain which will only require rest during the offseason. #Athletics— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 14, 2013
Gray, who also underwent a MRI, has sustained an UCL tear of his left thumb, which will require surgery at a date still TBD. #Athletics— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 14, 2013
Reddick is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his sprained right wrist. #Athletics— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 14, 2013
So that's a big sigh of relief on the former two players. That being said, this is how Brett Anderson started out: velocity drop, forearm strain diagnosis, and then we all know what happened after that. Since Gray's surgery will be on his left thumb, he should be at full strength for Spring Training.
I think we all realized that Reddick needed surgery at some point, and the offseason will give him time to recover. I don't think he would be traded, but if it he is, it shouldn't hamper his value from an injury perspective
Please dump any other links, if you would like. The NLCS will continue today, and we can have a game thread if there is interest.

Team Sky confirms signing of Jonathan Tiernan-Locke
British cycling's worst-kept secret confirmed as Tour of Britain winner moves after sensational 2012
One of cycling's worst kept secrets has been confirmed this morning with Team Sky announcing that it has signed Tour of Britain winner Jonathan Tiernan-Locke.
The 27-year-old from Devon, who spent several years out of the sport due to illness and pursuing his studies, has impressed throughout a 2012 season with Endura Racing that saw him claim a string of victories in stage races.
His success led to him being selected for Great Britain at the road world championships where as the country's main challenger in the race he rode strongly to claim a top 20 finish.
Besides the Tour of Britain, Tiernan-Locke won French early season races the the Tour de Mediterranean and Tour du Haut Var, and in the wake of those successes a number of top-flight teams were said to be interested in acquiring his services for the rest of the season.
Tiernan-Locke, however, remained loyal to Endura, committing himself to the Scotland-based team for the rest of 2012, and came back from a broken collarbone suffered at the Lincoln Grand Prix to win two stages and the overall at the Tour Alsace in July.
Commenting on his switch to Team Sky, he said: "It's an incredible opportunity for me to step up from the UCI Continental ranks, and although I've really enjoyed my time at Endura, I couldn't pass up the chance to join the world's best team.
"When you look at the season Team Sky have had, to even be considered by them was a massive honour for me, so I'm over the moon to be riding for them in 2013.
"This season's results have given me a lot of confidence and I can't wait to compete at the very top of the sport.
"I'm under no illusions - it's going to be a big step up - but with all the support I'll receive from the coaching staff, and having such talented riders around me, I'll definitely be looking to up my game."
Sky's Team Principal, Dave Brailsford, added: "At Team Sky we are determined that the best British talent have the opportunities to compete at the highest level of our sport. We have monitored Jonathan's progress closely and are delighted to offer him this contract.
"He has worked hard to get himself to where he is today and deserves his chance to compete against the very best cyclists in the world.
"Next season will be a great opportunity for him. We believe he is in the best place to achieve his full potential and are looking forward to having him on the team."
Worse kept secret ala Cavendish. Will be great to see what he can do in the Spring classics.
Interesting to see how he fais in a GT, think the Vuelta would be a nice starting point, this years course would have been nice for him.
GL to him, really enjoy watching him race, but with moving to Sky he will turn into a wattage monkey. Complete robot.
Cool stuff, look forward to seeing him next year.
Last night I would have considered trading a very loud baby for a really nice bike.
"At Team Sky we are determined that the best British talent have the opportunities to compete at the highest level of our sport"
Yes, i believe Cav won domestic of the year
Seriously though, JTL comes accross as a decent, hard working and all round - good egg. Learning the pro ropes at Sky could be a gateway to even greater results.
Does anyone know how long his contract is for?
LOL @Gkam.
Unless you were joking about sb-tb?
No way was that a joke the way he was going on about it.
Bad move. He's not going to have a chance at anything. He needed a team that was a little weaker.
As for the sb-tb, He'd signed a letter of intent.....I guess a man's word means nothing these days.
As I said, BAD move for him. He's 27, how many years does he have left? Not going to get a chance with the current crop of Sky. So he's going to be a good quality DS and not a winner anymore
Don't know, depends on what his goals are. If its grand tours then I doubt he'll get his chance any time soon but if he fancies himself for the classics I think he may get a shot as Sky are not hugely strong there.
On the other hand, I can see a trio of British Grand Tour wins with Wiggins at the Giro, Froome at the Tour and Tiernan-Locke at the Vuelta being extremely appealing to Brailsford.
Either way Sky is as good a place for an apprenticeship as anywhere but I agree with Gkam in that JTL may have had more opportunities at a weaker team.
Sky would be my pick for an apprenticeship over ANY team. But JTL is 27, that's my problem with him going there.
He's no young up and comer, because he was ill and took take out of sport. He was a mountain biker until becoming ill in 2004. It was only 2008 when he came back to cycling and went on the road. Then in 2009 he got a good break signing with Rapha.
So in terms of road cycling he's still new, but no rookie or young gun anymore. I worry he'll be lost from the contender ranks to a good DS and having to slave away for others.
Best of luck to him. Love the podcast with Ned Boulting recently when Boulting asked him whether he was doping. V funny. Sobering to find out he's lost 9kgs! If only I could lose 9kgs I might win something....
Silly me. You're probably right....
He never signed for SBTB man, I don't know where you get this idea from. Unless you have insider information? It was reported JTL had signed a letter of intent with a ProTour team.
It was assumed from the start it was Sky and that makes sense given his time training with them, but then rumours on some websites said it was AG2R.
The article also says he is 27. He is actually 28, 29 in December, I hope Sky know this.
I dont know why the Sky fan boys think JTL is a GT contender at all. The longest race distance he has done was the WC RR last month. I think at most he is going to be a good domestique.
He did have a break from cycling after he got a virus, so for his age compared to some, he wont be burnt out at the same age, however, its still 29 in December.
Good Classics racer and Good domestique IMO.
I see what you're saying Gkam, but as you know Sky and the national squad are on the identical side of similar, and they at least gave him a decent go at the worlds. I think DB probably has some decent goals for him - hell, any pro tour race is going to be a big step up from continental, being a big fish in the smaller pond doesn't mean he will be equally big in the bigger pond anyway.
Last night I would have considered trading a very loud baby for a really nice bike.
He never signed for SBTB man
No he didn't sign with anyone until Sky. But he did sign a letter of intent that was reported to be with sb-tb. I'll dig out the link again.
I dont know why the Sky fan boys think JTL is a GT contender at all. The longest race distance he has done was the WC RR last month. I think at most he is going to be a good domestique.
I think the fact that he's won things like Tour du Haut Var and Tour Mediterraneen this year, to go along with his Tour of Britain would indicate that he's a very good rider and could go on to be a GT contender. Just look at past winners of du Haut and Med. Some good names there. Also this with a lower class team....
He did have a break from cycling after he got a virus, so for his age compared to some, he wont be burnt out at the same age, however, its still 29 in December.
Don't forget, He was not a road rider until 2008 with a team that folded and became a proper roadie in 2009. So he's only three years into it.
His age is against him. But if he's not given a chance, how is he supposed to show what he can do?
That chance won't come at Sky.
The article also says he is 27. He is actually 28, 29 in December, I hope Sky know this.
DOB 26/12/1984, according to Endura Racing and his UCI Code (GBR19841226).
UCI Europe Tour ranking gives his age as 28, but that seems to be done according to the age the rider reaches in the calendar year in question.
So he's still 27 for the next two and a bit months.
Apologies, I read 1983
I like JTL, I really do and wish him luck. I hope Sky dont change the way he rides too much.
I hope Sky dont change the way he rides too much.
And there in lies the problem. JTL has been riding as a team leader. He won't be that at Sky. If he's in a grand tour team. He'll be perfect for breakaway wins. But he'll be held back to nurse Wiggo up the slopes with help from Cataldo
Has anyone else here read about JTLs funny illness problems, and read the Greg Strock interview at Velonews and then gone "hmmm..."?

Aye, but hopefully he wont be a wattage monkey too much. He should be team leader for races like Fleche Wallonne etc, so that will be good for him.
He is used to riding without Race Radio, racing on instinct without too much thought on Wattage output and how far a breakway is becuase the radio has said, what wattage they are outputting, what wattage you're outputting and how long to catch them etc.
You cannot bemoan JTL for jumping at the chance of stepping up to a team like Sky.
Has anyone else here read about JTLs funny illness problems, and read the Greg Strock interview at Velonews and then gone "hmmm..."?
Whats this Paul? Got a link? Its not another Froome problem is it? Blood infection, then no training and suddenly he is a top GC rider?
Darthshearer: Not another problem, but JTLs' old problem with mystery illnesses. This is how JTL described it to cyclingnews:
"Then one day I started coming down with a cold. That turned into flu and then it became the worst strain of flu I'd ever had. It just got worse. Then my immune system broke down I had a skin disease. I was literally falling apart."
He'd also been knocked down by Epstein-Barr virus - a very common virus the vast majority of us carry, which usually doesn't bother us, unless somehow our immune system is badly compromised.
Something similar happened to Greg Strock, a US cyclist. He also got knocked out by a range of illnesses, including a very common, usually not very harmful virus, to a degree which a fit, young man just shouldn't suffer. He did an interview with velonews which is worth reading. To quote the bit that I thought back to after reading about JTLs' strange problems (added emphasis mine):
"Any physician who hears about my diagnosis would first say that it is quite rare to see such a symptomatic case of Parvovirus in an ordinarily healthy young Caucasian male. It's almost unheard of to see the kind of symptoms that I suffered. In that population, it's usually it's a viral infection that is no big deal. This is consistent with an immunosupressed state.
I also suffered from thrush (an oral yeast infection), most often seen in those who are immunocompromised, and a very severe case of Bell's palsy. Bell's palsy is a facial paralysis that is not uncommon and is thought to be caused by a viral infection. 90 percent of those with it have full recovery; I didn't. So you can see some common things affected me in uncommon ways, which is typical of an immunocompromised state such as induced by cortisone."
Greg's coach had been regularly doping him, unbeknownst to him. He left cycling and studied medicine instead, it seems. Which is how he started to realise what had happened to him.
Just interesting to keep in mind when you hear of athletes suffering from weird illnesses and/or being knocked down by otherwise innocuous viruses. (And to bear in mind when anyone tries to tell you corticosteroids are harmless).
Aye, but hopefully he wont be a wattage monkey too much. He should be team leader for races like Fleche Wallonne etc, so that will be good for him.
Will he really though? In terms of punchy uphill finishers Henao was 14th in Fleche Wallonne this year and 29th in Liege and is getting better all the time - and they also have Uran and Boasson Hagen.
.... as i keep on telling er'indoors and the brats
it's not the age its the ruddy mileage !
but seriously he's a class rider - he'll do very well.
To slo to live, to slo to die! ::-}
Revolving doors at SKY - Cav out JTL in. Reaffirms their GC prentensions packing the squad with climbers which they will need because Contador, fuelled or not, alone or not, is a big threat to them in 2013.
Contador was probably not even close to his full potential in the Vuelta.
I am as delighted he got the gig as I am disappointed Cav has left - good luck JTL

Telling Truth from Lies
Truth is funny. You can beat on it, cross-examine it, and it always shines true. Like gold. It doesn't corrode or otherwise degrade. It is extremely durable. LIES Lies are different. They hold up to casual inspection. But upon deeper inspection, a lie raises one or more questions that cannot be answered satisfactorily. That is the hallmark of a lie.
