[YEA] I was doing research and found out magnesium was one common remedie for about three different things I was trying to deal with incontinence being one of them
i took two capsules everyday until I knew my body had absorbed it (this came in the form of mild diarrhea) it only took a few days and I didnt have and incident for another year! Everytime I feel it happen I go take another capsule and wahlaah! Instantly cured!

07/07/2012[YEA] I've had incontinence about 6 years. Less than a week ago I read about magnesium for incontinence on this site. Within two days I was out walking hills without needing to make pit stops and without leaking. I haven't leaked a drop since taking the magnesium. I just spent $1000 co-pay to hear from the urologist that my options were surgery or physical therapy. I'm so disturbed that my gyn or urologist didn't know the benefits of magnesium, but I'm so thankful for this site and all that participate. I have a new lease on life because I can exercise again. Thanks!

[YEA] I take two 200 or 250 mgs of magnesium every night to help me sleep. I have tried other products to help me sleep like phosphorus and melatonin. Phosporus is also very good but makes me too groggy when I wake up. Melatonin also makes me too groggy. I take Melatonin when I have had caffiene before bed and it knocks me out. I get the tablets and nibble the tiniest bit off of the edge and it works everytime but seems to be too strong for me and makes me tired during the day. For me magnesium is gentle and when I wake up I feel relaxed but not tired. We stayed overnight in New York City at my daughters boyfriends apt on a busy, noisy, avenue. I took my two magnesiums as usual but woke up in the middle of the night because of the terrible street noises. The next few nights I took 3 magnesiums (200 or 250mg's)and slept thru it all. At home I take two every night. Thank you so much for this website!! People helping People!! YaY people power!

Low Magnesium Indicator 0 0Posted by Joy (Battleground, Wash) on 04/28/2013
I looked into someone's eyes and there was a spot on the colored part that was turning grey and the rest was green, almost like the color had washed out. One of my friends is a nurse and I showed her and she gave the person a magnesium IV and her eye color was restored and her other health conditions that doctors had not been able to solve were healed with the IV magnesium. She was very low and sufferring miserably. They don't test mag levels when they do your blood tests.
Magnesium Bicarbonate Solution 0 0Posted by Elpocketo (Oldham, Lancashire Uk) on 11/20/2011
hi guys, I am interested to try and make my own mag bicarb water, I have a recipe which says to add 5ml (400mg) of milk of magnesia to a bottle of carbonated water, then gives instructions to dilute the resulting concentrated mix.

Making Magnesium Bicarbonate Solution From Milk of Magnesia (MoM)
Hi everyone...I found a website article which is useful. There is a new magnesium drinking product in Australia that has been proved to extend the life of mammals. This patent is based on a certain region of Australia where the drinking water is high in magnesium, and where all livestock there seem to live a life that is 30% longer than normal. The patented drinking solution consists mainly of Magnesium Bicarbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate in simple aqueous solution.
The description in the patent says to add 500 mgs Magnesium Carbonate or Magnesium hydroxide to 1 litre cold carbonated water. Store in the fridge for 24 -- 72 hours and allow the solution to clear from cloudy. Add a small amount of amount -- 120 mg -- of Sodium Bicarbonate.
Drink this mixture throughout the day but not with meals -- one hour before or two hours after meals. Adjust to a lower dose if bowels become too loose.
You could also make this solution by using MoM and Baking soda quite easily -- using Phillip's Milk of Magnesia, Baking Soda and seltzer or carbonated water. Do not use the MoM that contains Aluminium Hydroxide.
Read about the patent, manufacture and research here:Replied by Vetta

10/17/2010To Bill: This sounds fascinating and I would like to try it. Can you tell me the proportions of MoM, baking soda, and carbonated water? You say 500 mg MoM, but what is that in volume? I assume you did NOT mean 500 ml. The link you posted suggests. 5 liter throughout the day; have you tried it yourself and what have you noticed? Many thanks.Replied by Vetta
Northeast, Usa
10/19/2010That should read .5 liter above. Sorry for the mistype.Replied by Floridamark
12/06/2013I totally agree with the above, that it is simple to make your own water using Magnesium Hydroxide (MOM) but it should have no other ingredients under inactive ingredients other then purified water. No bleach, no coloring, no flavoring. Just use the cap on top of the MOM and add a hair less then 3 tablespoons to the 1 liter bottle of seltzer water. This water is a good start for any other recipe that follows. Example would be those looking to add ACV or Salt or Baking soda for instance. There are videos to show you how on popular video sites I won't mention because some have ads in front which may violate EarthClinic policy. Just type Magnesium Bicarbonate Water or Homemade water in the search engine. I've been using this for quite sometime. I am 53 and my doc said I have a heart of a 15 year old. My bloodwork comes back perfect everytime. He even asked me what I'm doing and I tell him and everybody I know everything. I try to drink healthy, eat healthy, and supplement my diet with those nutrients that are no longer in our food for one reason or another. Starts with our water and I love EarthClinic for bringing me so many things I didn't know to life.Replied by Brad
12/28/2014The best MoM I could find was Phillip's Milk of Magnesia which contains Sodium hypochlorite.
When Sodium hypochlorite gomes in touch with CO2, the reaction will be: NaClO + CO2 + H2O --->NaHCO3 + HClO
HCIO is Hypochlorous acid. Is it now safe to consume?

[YEA] Been researching to the core issues of health, and have found this stuff, Magnesium Chloride oil. It has so much going for it, I can only suggest looking it up! Among the most striking, are studies showing that it can stop or even reverse aging, and help heal all manner of issues, something needed by every body. It even re-mineralizes teeth, when brush with it. I am getting it first thing Monday morning to spray on my body.
Magnesium oil, essentially ancient dead sea salt, is an excellent complement to iodine, MSM, baking soda, ALA, N-acetyl cystein. It is absorbed by the skin without the diarrhea that comes from taking it internally. Scripture says that it is good to soak in the foam of the sea, and perhaps this is why. One would expect that soaking in dead sea salts would also provide magnesium through the skin. I still like the sea salts as an internal cleanser, though. And a quote:
"Brushing the teeth with Magnesium Oil and massaging it into the skin can directly assist with re- mineralizing teeth and bones."

Is pure oil not too strong for face? Is it also a good protection against sun, as a sun screen? How strong? Thanks. DcmcbPosted by Maria (Gippsland, Australia) on 11/28/2011
Hi Bill, I would really appreciate your opinion. I have just got some magnesium chloride and when it arrived the bag says for industrial use. It is not quite pure white, say off white and when I made it to solution it is a little cloudy with a very slight dirty appearance (only very slight). It also has a bitter almond odour. Could this be cyanide? I have read something that Dr Mark Circus wrote that even with 25 times the heavy metal pollution it is a 1000x better than nothing. I got it for footbaths and to apply transdermally but now am uncertain if it should be used or not at all or only sometimes. I have applied it twice to my legs and had good results, the same as if I were using the small expensive packet of pure white flakes. Would you think it ok to continue using them? Your opinion/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I do look forward to reading your posts. Thanks, MariaReplied by Bill

11/29/2011Hi Maria... I'm afraid that I can't really advise you here. My own Magnesium Chloride that I use as mag oil is chemical grade purity. But when there is a peculiar almond smell and a milky, dirty appearance, perhaps you should write to the manufacturers and get a purity analysis off them or go online, find their website and email them for your own peace of mind. Or perhaps you could get someone to do an impurity analysis of your magnesium chloride locally. And whether to use it or not is really up to you to decide.Replied by Maria

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Recently, I bought Magnesium Chloride crystals and made mag oil out of it. My mom, who has both diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, seems to sleep better when I rub it on her lower legs. The problem is that it constantly itches. I am not sure if she is allergic to it since her legs don't turn red or anything but it itches like being bitten by a mosquito. I've been rubbing it on her legs for almost a week and the level of itching is still the same. I tried once to just paint it on her soles and it seems that her soles don't itch but her legs still itches even if I just rub it on her soles. My wife is speculating that it may be an issue of bad circulation. Has anyone experienced this? I've read through the magnesium and circulation postings and didn't find anything about itching. I did read somewhere that its quite probable since blood starts travel back in your skin and that makes it itch. My question is, how long does it take for the itching to start subsiding?Replied by Lisa

08/26/2011Hi Jeff, I don't know if this is true or not, but I have read from several people online that if a person is deficient in magnesium that the oil will cause burning/itching. From my own experience I found this to be true. When I first started the mag. oil, I had terrible burning/itching and stopped using it. I took mag. powder internally for awhile then went back to using the oil again. This time, I had no burnng/itching. I couldn't say how long it will take for this to go away.Replied by Maria
Gippsland, Australia
08/26/2011Hi Jeff, This also happened to me. All through childhood and until recently I would even have to wash sea water off after having a swim, no waiting till I got home. Instead of rubbing the mag oil on spray it on and leave it on for a few minutes or till the itching starts and rinse off. Then lightly rub legs with ev olive oil or coconut oil. Soaking the feet in a tub also helps, do it for 20 mins in the evening. If all else fails try epsom salts foot soaks. I have never had a problem with epsom salts. Absolutely excellent in the bath and foot soaks, just use a jug of water or shower to rinse off. It may also be worthwhile taking a small amount of magnesium orally about 1/2 hour before bed. It's interesting that your wife thinks it could be circulation as I would have to say that mine has improved and now sea water does not need to be rinsed off, never thought of that.
If your mum has any other skin issues have a look at neem supplements and some morning or afternoon sunshine for Vit D. All the best.Replied by Jeff
Cebu City, Philippines
08/31/2011Thanks for the feedback. To Maria, what my wife meant was that my mom may have bad circulation issues before, and taking mag oil made the circulation better. My mom-in-law used to tell her that some people get itchy skin when the circulation comes rushing back, since blood tends to float up to the skin. I guess her circulation improved since she is sleeping better. But now her skin is full of red spots. I'm laying off the magnesium chloride for a while. Last night I tried dipping her feet in water with H202 which seemed to help lighten the red spots a bit. I don't think she's allergic to the mag oil because its only the top part of her foot which has the red spots. Her shins do itch but no spots. I also rubbed some on her forearm and even her chest but no red spots. only 1 area has those.
Do you guys think its ok to soak her feet in epsom salt even with the red spots or should I let it subside first?Replied by Jeff
Cebu City, Philippines
09/05/2011[SIDE EFFECTS] As an update, the red spots that manifested on my mom's skin which was caused by the Magnesium Oil actually disappeared when I applied magnesium oil onto it. I read on another website that the red spots are suppose to be unused calcium from the cells which floated up to the skin, and putting magnesium oil on those spots should let the calcium go back to the bloodstream so that it can be used again by the body.Replied by Jef

03/26/2013A tip for the itching is to dilute the magnesium oil with more water. Separate into another small spray bottle and dillute it by 50 percent or more and then gradually increase the amount of the magnesium. I like to apply coconut oil over the magnesium and then go to bed. No reason to go full guns and be uncomfortably miserable with stinging and itching. I find that I can apply it to my scalp much stronger than to my face. So I get my hands wet and apply more water where it runs down behind my ears and on my forhead and cheeks full strength is too itchy. A splash of water and rub it in and I still get the benefits of it on my face. My hair by the way was falling by gobs. For the last 5 years in my hair brush and the shower drain. It was getting thin and my hair line had changed. My eyebrows were disappearing. Within a month or so my hair stopped falling out. And it is now coming back in even my eyebrows are starting to fill in. I like to rub into my scalp and sleep with it all night. When I wash it out in the morning my hair is exceptionally shiny with good body after leaving it on my scalp all night.Posted by Luana (Hollywood, Florida ) on 06/20/2011
Thank you Bill from San Fernando! Your comments and links on magnesium chloride. This saved my digestion. ACV had helped with acid reflux but the magnesuim chloride is a miracle. I was in such bad shape, wasn't even able to digest food. From everything I have read it appears that I have been deficient in magnesium for a long time, but my entire chemistry was messed up by a staff infection I was given during surgey or from all the antibiotics. It happened so fast and doctors have no clue. They don't even take you serioulsy if they can't just perscribe a deadly drug. I have been getting sicker and sicker and just didn't know how much longer I could go on. I was taking the magnesium at night.
One night I watched a documentary called Feed your head about a doctor curing paranoid schitzophrenia with niacin. I have niacin but didn't take it regularly. That night I took the niacin with the magnesium and the next day I felt wonderful the next day, it was so dramatic. In the info you posted it states you need magnesium to properly metabolzie b vitamins and boy I sure learned that taking the two together. I thought the first day may have been a fluke, but as every day was better, it could only have been the magnesium with the niacin.
So I told my husband and he tried it. He experienced the same thing, you wake up feeling so good, full of energy and don't even need the coffee. I owe you Bill. I got a copy of my blood tests and the thing that was really out of control was my calcium levels. My doctor never even mentioned this, I guess he didn't see this as a problem. I am post menapausal for 10 years so supposedly should be calcium deficient. I was really upset to learn about the calcium and how the great damage these lies are doing to our bodies. I have had kidney problems from calcium deposits for years. Have bone spurs from calcium and can only imagine what it has done to my heart and arteries.
Our American healthcare is criminal. I am sharing the magnesium chloride and niacin at night with everyone I know. Especially with other women as we are bombarded with the suppsed need for all this calcium and have no idea that without magnesium, we are poisioning our bodies.Replied by Mary

06/21/2011I take 2 Alta Magensium Chloride tablets with a 500 mg niacin. I started taking all my b vitamins now at night and no longer have bright yellow urine, so it sure seems that the magensium does impact the metabolization of b vitamins, so you actually use the vitamin. I started taking the same dose of the magnesium and niacin during the early afternoon or late morning. Starting to get tired mid afternoon like the effects wore off. Now it lasts through the day.Replied by Luana

06/21/2011Hi Mary, forgot to answer you on timing. We take about an hour before bed or so. I drink with milk but my husband just with water. Like I said, it has worked great doing it in the afternoon too. You just need to take the niacin with the magnesium. I had starting taking the magnesium chloride at night, and just happened to want to take the niacin after watching the documentry on Dr. Abram Hoffer and niacin. That made me want ti take niacin so I took it with the magenesium. I had taken niacin many times over the years but never felt anything but the flush. I never experienced anything like the effect as such when taking it with the magnesium chloride. The magnesium was great for sleep, acid reflux, digestion and for nerves, but alone there was no effect of the energy and mental clarity, better and disposition as such as when taken with the niacin. From Dr. Hoffer's research, niacin is just so important for the brain, which needs so much more nutrients than an other body system. But the just plain old feeling so good and energy wasn't something I was expecting. Everyone else I have given this too has the same experience. Just some feel so good in the AM then sort of hit an afternoon crash, but take the mag and niacin again and you are set for the day.Replied by Glenys

The killing of a 22-year-old Ramatu Isah by Godwin David Idoko, took the New Year day celebrations of the peace-loving people of RafiYashin neighbourhood in Niger State aback. In this piece, ABU NMODU, describes how the suspect was dragged to the homicide section of the state criminal investigations department (SCID) in Minna by the combined efforts of neighbours within the area
Rafin Yashin is in the Bosso local government area of Niger State and a suburb of Minna, the state capital known for its quiet neighbourhoods, but up till now the residents are yet to recover from the shocking discovery of the horror associated with the killing of a 22-year- old lady who was hawking groundnuts one fateful day.
LEADERSHIP Weekend's findings revealed that Godwin was a 500-level student of Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna before he was expelled for a misdemeanour in 2007.
It was gathered that despite being expelled from the school, he still maintained an apartment at the Rafis Yashi area near the old campus of FUT where he lured the lady to visit him on New Year's day.
Ramatu was from Katsina and was staying with her uncle in Bosso estate near Rafin Yashin, and Godwin lured her into his apartment under the pretence of buying groundnuts.
LEADERSHIP's investigation revealed that Ramatu, while in the room resisted Godwin's attempt to rape her but he beheaded her with a knife after she threatened to report him to the police.
It was learnt that after killing her, Godwin put Ramat's head into a sack and hid her body in a toilet near where he was living.
But luck ran out on him when the neighbours became suspicious of his movements on the fateful day.
It was learnt that Godwin's strange activities became known to one of the neighbours on the day, at about 3pm, because they saw blood stains all over his hands and he could not give any reasonable explanation of how he came about the bloody stains.
It was learnt that when one of the neighbours wanted to make further inquiries as to why Godwin was hurriedly packing his luggage, he replied that he was in haste to travel to Kaduna to visit his mother who resides there.
It was also gathered that the neighbour was not satisfied with his explanation and became suspicious that something was fishy by his actions. This development attracted other neighbours who forced him to open his room and the bathroom door where Ramatu's corpse was found with her head already severed from her body.
Ramatu was said to be a divorcee from Offa in Kwara State and had been staying in Kastina for sometime before her murder. Godwin, knowing that his bubble had burst, started pleading with his neighbours not to expose him, as his act was the handwork of the devil.
It was also learnt that the youths in the area threatened to lynch him but the elders promptly intervened before alerting the nearby police patrol team that came to whisk him away to the state police headquarters in Minna.
The police public relations officer (PPRO) in the state, Mr. Pius Edobor, confirmed the incident and said Ramatu re-located to Minna in October last year, to stay with her uncle in the area.
He said the late Ramatu used to hawk groundnuts and the assailant used the opportunity to invite her to his room, and thereafter beheaded her.
He said Godwin was making useful confessional statements to the men of the homicide section of the state criminal investigation department (SCID).
Some neighbours who spoke to LEADERSHIP Weekend confirmed that Godwin Idoko was a member of a dreaded cult at FUT Minna and was expelled at 500-level in 2007 by the school authority due to his strange behaviour.
They disclosed that Godwin had been around since he was expelled, adding that those that he was expelled with denounced their membership and were recalled while Godwin continued with his nefarious act and was still hanging around the school.
One of the neighbours said "it was in the course of all his acts that he was jailed by a magistrate court for stealing a laptop computer and GSM handset sometime in 2008, with an option of fine, which was paid by his mother who came from Kaduna and we all knew that something is always fishy about him".
The Head of Information and Public Relations of FUT Minna, Mrs Legbo Lydia, told LEADERSHIP Weekend that Godwin is no longer a student of the institution and as such the school would not have anything to say about him.

Re: The Wheels on the bus....
I had to modify my page, because I couldn't find my kid's pictures and I never got all of my son's school pictures each year, after I started a life of chronic pain. He didn't like photos, so he wouldn't bring the order form home and would say he just forgot when I would ask hom where the photos were, once I realized the photos were missing at the end of the year.
Since the bus template came with unsized pieces that piled up on the middle of the page as you loaded the template on to your work space, instead of each piece being assigned a specfic place on the page, I thought that personalizing the template however much or little we wanted too, was the intent of the template designer ..so I went for it. I used to take a "First Day Of School" picture of them together each year when they were little, so I used one of those pictures and made a one pg template out of the bus. I hope you like it! I added as many details as I could remember to make the bus look like our local Louisiana buses.

Question: Why are dock leaves so effective at relieving stings from nettles? Are they effective on any other plant or insect stings? Is this how the name is derived?
Answer: Being stung by a nettle is painful because the sting contains an acid. Rubbing the sting with a dock leaf can relieve the pain because dock leaves contain an alkali that will neutralise the acid and therefore reduce the sting. Bees and ants also have acidic stings, so dock leaves should help, but other alkalis, such as soap or bicarbonate of soda, are usually better.
However, a dock leaf is useless against wasp stings, which contain an alkali. This is unfortunate because wasps are nasty little critters whose sole aim in life is to ruin picnics and barbecues. If you want to neutralise a wasp sting you should use an acid such as vinegar. The only problem is you'll smell ...

Former Little Stoke cricketer on match-fixing charges
Posted: May 23, 2014|
FORMER Little Stoke cricketer Naveed Arif is one of two players who have been charged with match-fixing.
The player, who played a big part in the club's promotion back to the North Staffs and South Cheshire League premier last season is charged with six offences under the England and Wales Cricket Board's anti-corruption code.
Arif, who has made only one appearance for the Uttoxeter Road club this term, at Longton on the opening day, is joined by ex-Nantwich and Longton batsman Lou Vincent who faces 14 offences.
Vincent's relate to two matches played in August 2011, a T20 match between Sussex and Lancashire, also a 40-over game between Sussex and Kent. Arif's are in connection with the 40-over match between Sussex and Kent.

Both players have been provisionally suspended from all cricketing activities organised, authorised or supported by the ECB, ICCF, and other National Cricket Federation (NCF) and any member of any other NCF.
Arif's solicitor, Imran Khan, of Manchester-based firm Lewis Hymanson Small said: Mr Naveed Arif has been charged pursuant to ECB's Anti-Corruption Code for Participants with six offences in relation to a 40-over cricket match between Sussex and Kent which took place on 23 August 2011.
"Mr Arif is currently suspended from all cricketing facilities.
"In view of Mr Arif's right to a fair hearing before the Anti-Corruption tribunal, we do not intend to make any further comment at this juncture." Arif has now left Little Stoke who are currently third in the premier league.
Head of ECB's Anti-Corruption unit, Chris Watts said: "This has been an extremely complex and lengthy investigation co-ordinated across many jurisdictions around the world.
"This matter is now the subject of formal legal proceedings and we therefore make no further comment other than to re-iterate our determination to bring to account the very small minority who seek to corrupt cricket."

Boeing has outlined the development schedule for its 777X programme, which is aimed for a service-entry in 2020.
Part production for the large twinjet is to begin in 2017, with the first flight scheduled to take place in 2019.
After the programme was officially launched at this year's Dubai air show, top level design for the future 777 derivative is to be finalised by the end of next year.This will be followed by firming up the aircraft's configuration in 2015 and detailed design due to take place in 2016.
The schedule has been laid down to "catch the front end of the replacement wave for the 777-300ER and 747-400", says Scott Fancher, vice-president and general manager for airplane development.
General Electric has also outlined its schedule for the GE9X engine, which will be the only powerplant available on the 777-8X and -9X.
After work on the engine started in 2010, the design is to be finalised in 2015. Ground testing is scheduled to begin in 2016, with flight tests due to follow a year later. Certification is planned for 2018.
Fuel burn will be 10% lower than on the GE90-115B-powered 777-300ER, while the GE9X should have a 5% lead in specific fuel consumption over the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine on the rival Airbus A350, says GE.
Meanwhile, maintenance costs for the GE9X will be "comparable" to the GE90 series, the manufacturer adds.

Hawkeye wrestlers land former Iowa champ
By Andy Hamilton
Iowa City Press-Citizen
Montell Marion grew up in Des Moines, but it took a 1,700-mile roundtrip for him to get to the Iowa wrestling room.
Marion, a two-time state champion and four-time finalist at West Des Moines Valley and Des Moines Roosevelt, said Thursday that he will join the Hawkeyes this fall, completing his winding road to Iowa.
Marion, a 2006 Roosevelt graduate, signed a letter of intent to attend Northern Iowa as a high school senior, but opted instead to spend the past year at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs where he started thinking about a career with the Hawkeyes.
?It had nothing to do with (UNI coach) Brad Penrith, first of all, I want to say that,? Marion said of his decision to train in Colorado Springs. ?He?s a good guy; he?s real cool. The campus is good, the wrestling team is good. But to be honest, I asked myself if I wanted to be a mediocre wrestler or if I wanted to put my name on the map and if I wanted to turn some heads and if I want to walk around campus having people know me as a part of the wrestling team. I decided I had to go do some more training to be able to catch up.
?The fact is, if I went to school right out of high school I would?ve been young. I started school early. I had the opportunity to catch up and really level the playing field with my future opponents.?
Marion trained in Colorado Springs under the watch of former Hawkeye Terry Brands, the U.S. freestyle resident coach and twin brother of Iowa coach Tom Brands.
?If you ask (Terry), he?d pretty much say we get along and he likes me a lot; he tells me that all the time and I like the way he coaches,? Marion said. ?I started thinking that he could put in a good word for me at Iowa with his brother, and then I just started leaning toward Iowa.?
The projected 133-pounder in college has all four years of eligibility plus a redshirt season at his disposal.
Marion compiled a 151-6 career record, losing in the state finals as a freshman and sophomore before capturing his first state title in 2005 at Valley. He enrolled at Roosevelt in 2006 and won the 130-pound title, finishing 36-0.
Looking back now, Marion said he wishes he could?ve taken the Olympic Training Center experiences into high school.
?I think I easily could?ve had four state titles instead of two,? he said, ?and I could?ve won (freestyle Junior Nationals in) Fargo instead of being a three-time All-American.?
Marion said he was on the same training regimen as the U.S. Olympic hopefuls in Colorado Springs. He said his training there was geared toward ?areas of concentration? where wrestlers would focus on turning positions of weakness into strength.
?A lot of stuff was work on fundamentals that I wish I had in high school, which would?ve put me a lot further,? he said.
?My hand-fighting got a lot better. When I took a shot before, I wasn?t really running through the shot and they got me doing that. That?s a freestyle setting, so of course I learned a lot of freestyle, and I know going to Iowa I?m going to have to concentrate on the down position because that?s a big part of wrestling in college. You?ve got to be able to escape and you?ve got to be able to ride in critical situations.?

Russia: a pulse on the consumer products market
December 2014
What to watch for
How to adapt to the new reality?
In the current environment, all executives are in "survival" mode, managing their business day by day.
Executives feel this crisis is unique. They cannot see the bottom — which is making their regional and global HQs very uncomfortable — and they are clueless about the next few months. Corporate expectations for 2015 have deteriorated quite badly and some feel that 2016 will be tougher.
Companies are surprised by the consumer resilience — with most having sustained single-digit growth with substantial price increases — but they all feel that it will change in early 2015.
Consumers are continuing to focus on value for money but premium is still holding up. Mass products are suffering as the consumer is trading down; Private label is currently low in Russia but likely to increase significantly.
Executives are focused on delivering the operating profit, taking as much price increase as they can (to partly recover the devaluation impact) and challenging all costs in their business (some are talking about doing business the "European style"). They are looking at sharing the profit pressures with their partners.
All executives recognize that they need to be as agile as they can with their P&L.
Companies accept that they need to define a new business model that is fit for purpose in this new reality.
5 questions for management
- How do you ensure your portfolio remains relevant and economically viable?
- How do you balance cash flow within production, payments, etc.?
- How do you manage shelf prices to protect the bottom line and not lose market share?
- What are you doing to offset cost headwinds?
- How are you setting HQ expectations?

Illinois man builds, delivers crosses for each victim to site of Colorado shooting rampage
AURORA, Colo. - A man from Illinois built and delivered to the Colorado movie theater wooden crosses for each of the victims killed in a shooting rampage Friday.
Greg Zanis made the 16-hour trip to Aurora by truck, and arrived Sunday.
He made 12 crosses for each of the victims of the attack – and did the same for the 13 Columbine High School shooting victims in 1999.
"It's so hard to be back here again," said Zanis. "It's in my heart to do this."
He set up the crosses in a lot near the Century 16 movie theater.
"We all as a nation are suffering here. This is a warzone what happened over there – not just the 12, the wounded," said Zanis.
The white crosses created a very visible memorial for anyone passing by the site of the tragedy.
"I want to let them know Greg Zanis cares," said Zanis.
Zanis planned to start his trek back home later Sunday after the cross display was finished.

Michael Schumacher is facing a busy new year, as the seven-time world champion has confirmed he is making a Formula One return with Mercedes.
It was no secret that the former Ferrari ace was itching to come out of retirement to race in motorsport's premier league again, and now he has agreed a three-year deal with the German squad. At 41, Schu will be the oldest driver on the grid, but he's certainly not planning to make up the numbers.
"Our aim can only be to fight for the championship," he said. "I was tired of F1 by the end of 2006, but after three years away I am getting back all the energy and I feel strong right now."
His contract with Mercedes is a dream ticket. Firstly, there's the chance to be a part of the firm's all-German Silver Arrows programme, alongside the already confirmed Nico Rosberg. Secondly, it reunites Michael with Ross Brawn – the technical maestro behind his glory days at Benetton and Ferrari, as well as Jenson Button's 2009 title.
Whispers of Schumacher's return started shortly after Mercedes announced it was taking a controlling share in Brawn GP. Ferrari then fuelled the fire by saying it was happy to release Schu from his consultancy role with the firm. The deal was sealed following an announcement by his doctors that Schumacher's neck was fully healed following injuries sustained during a motorbike accident early last year.
Grand prix colleagues weren't surprised by the 91-time race winner's decision to make a comeback. "The flame is still there," said fellow countryman and Virgin driver Timo Glock. "It's still burning.
It will be a highlight, and with Mercedes, you have a German driver in a German car." Former team-mate Eddie Irvine had no doubts. "Michael has been karting since he was four or five, so he knows nothing else," added the Ulsterman. "Trying motorcycle racing recently was madness for him as he wasn't very good and wasn't getting paid. But F1 makes sense." Irvine expects him to be competitive, too. "The speed will be there, although he won't be as fast as he was," he said.
"He's still good enough to win races. It's still four wheels, a steering wheel and an engine – and there has never been anyone better than Michael."
statistically, Michael Schumacher is the greatest racing driver the world has ever seen. In 16 seasons at the top level, he won an incredible 91 grands prix and seven world titles – including five in a row with Ferrari from 2000. He is the only German to have lifted the driver's crown. What chance that he can do it again?
Schumacher's F1 career
1991: Debut (driving for Jordan)
1992: One race win, third in world

WOW! Great for F1
It would be nice if just once tthat Auto Express could do a report that actually tells the facts rather than making them up...
MS has not signed any agreement, a verbal nod towards a possible return was made, he, or his team have not agreed anything, Mercedes has not issued any statement of intent, or offered him a contract to sign.
Mercedes has said however that any driver line up will not be released until AFTER christmas and possibly into the new year.
I don't believe it.
He has done so much for Ferrari and the other way around, why in the hell would he want to go to Mercedes for?
It's crazy and in my eyes he would be a traitor.
F1 without Schumi is like PEPSI being alone on the market, without COKE competition.
F1 without Schumi was 100% boring.
After Schumi left, I watched only 1 or 2 GPs. And those not from START to END. Purely boring.
If the news will be confirmed , then I am happy for Formula 1 spirit.
Spirit that was lost after Schumi left.
Welcome back, Michael.
F1 without schumi was so boring i stop watching it, Cant wait to start travelling to some races and get up at 4:00am to watch the master at work showing lewis and jenson whos the daddy
Totally MAD, whats he got to prove NOTHING, whats he got too risk EVERYTHING, the mans a mug.
He is sticking his neck out by returning and possibly performing below other current drivers like Hamilton. I do not see why it was "boring" to watch him being passed by Alonso and bested by team mate Massa in the later years before retirement. The question is, will he be like Brett Favre or just be an also ran? I think the latter; he should have followed Michael Jordan's example. That said, only time will tell the tale.
I hope he's trained his neck muscles up, I doubt it.
This new lot of drivers may not stand for the "tactics" he used in past.
He's an arrogant cheat. He drives people off the road or crashes into them to stop them winning championships. The guy is a disgrace. Just because he's won so many championships (in the best car of course), some people ignore his misdemeanors. F1 with Schumacher was the most boring motorsport on the planet. Who wants to watch a 200 mph procession for 2 and a half hours every single Sunday again? BORING!
Since he left, F1 has at least been exciting again. You never knew who was going to win and everyone started racing again. Who can deny that the last couple of years have actually given us some exciting, nail biting finishes and results? Hamilton, Button, Hakkinen. Fantastic. All that is going to change if this Automaton gets back in. I for one will switch off and many others will too.
Well said Dame_edna, those earlier comments re GPs now being boring without Schumacher have left me baffled - the fastest man in the best car whilst anyone in front of him usually leapt out of the way in case he nerfed them off the track. The last two years have been some of the most unpredictable for a decade.
Winge, winge,winge.
When some one who obviously enjoys racing decides to have another go, why can't he. Michael did a power of good for the sport, he's no angel. Why do so many people not like him, maybe it's because he's good and he was successful. Tall Poppy syndrome, if it's tall and better than you, put the boot in. Don't try to improve the situation. Just be negative.
Welcome back Michael, take care and Good Luck for the coming season.
PS What is a proper racing fan???????????
Luck arrives when opportunity and capacity walk together.
Really, Schummi is a lucky guy.
Well' he will sell tickets and put bums on seats, and I will be most surprised if he is not fast enough to win races as he is one of the best racers I have ever seen.
But I am not blinded by Schumacher mania as many have been throughout his racing carrier.
He will be like an old but skilful pro boxer and he will use that skill against the comparative novices of GP racing, but if he finds himself outclassed he will resort to his next best trick, and that is cheating, it comes to him naturally, from the day he blatantly crashed into Damian Hill, breaking his car and so taking the championship by default due to having a few more points than hill, to the day he spun his car to foul up practice at Monte Carlo.
I have seen all the stars from Moss Clark, Surtees and Hailwood also watched the young Airton Senna mature, and have followed all the top drivers of the day, and I have never seen any other driver pull as many foul moves as Schumacher has done in his long carrier, to think that Hawthorn, Collins, Moss, Damien Hill or Nigel Mansell could stoop to professional fouls as Schumacher has done is quite unthinkable.
But his place in the GP fold will without doubt create new interest and will gain new fans for GP motor sport.
...what a proper racing fan is?! Clearly Dame Edna and sophie11 aren't- fyi Hakkinen retired B-E-F-O-R-E Schumi did and another thing: how was Ferrari the best car at the time he joined the Scuderia? Anyone remember a driveshaft falling out of his "best car" while travelling down pitlane?
MIchael succeeded in inspiring the men and women around him, transforming his side of the garage into a winning team and he was always gracious enough to honour his team before accepting plaudits. Maybe it takes a real racing fan to see that....
I for one can't wait to watch him in action again, even if it isn't behind the wheel of my beloved Ferraris. As a true maestro he will undoubtedly learn and apply some of the tricks that the youngsters employ. I'd like to see any other "has been" in their chosen sport do the same and still be successful, which I have no doubt Schumi will be.
WELCOME BACK MICHAEL!!! My Sunday afternoons belong to F1 again :)

SBR analysts Natalie Rydstrom and Justin7 give an SBR Industry News update for September 4th, 2012. In today's show, a sportsbook scam alert issued on WagerMadness of the BetCascade (SBR rating F) platform is discussed, as well as five outstanding Coral Sportsbook (SBR rating B+) confiscations, and lastly an update from Justin7's complaint bag.
Coral Sportsbook (SBR rating B+) has confiscated five player balances. Coral, previously rated A- by SBR, is unwilling to discuss the claims due to their license with the UK Gambling Commission. However, Coral has not communicated any reason to the players themselves explaining the confiscations.
The Coral Group (SBR rating A-) will be upgrading its casino to Playtech software on May 9th. Coral tells SBR that all Gala Coral brand websites, including Coral.co.uk, GalaBingo.com and GalaCasino.co.uk will experience downtime whilst the new software is installed. Twelve hours total of downtime is expected between 00:30 and 12:15 GMT.
Coral Sportsbook (SBR rating A-) has paid the player from SBR's 6/28 bonus complaint report in full. The player contacted SBR stating that he deposited £25 for a 100% bonus promo and through play increased his balance to £510. However, Coral voided his wagers and canceled the bonus stating that it did not allow players from Belarus to accept promotions. After discussion with SBR, Coral decided to pay the player in full.
Coral player:
Coral (SBR rating A-) has voided a player's bonus and winning wager. In early June, a player from Belarus deposited £25 and received a 100% bonus. He won £300 on his first wager, and an additional £210 in subsequent wagers bringing his account balance to £510. Coral then voided all wagers and canceled the bonus. Coral's promotion page limited the bonus to UK residents only, however the software applied the bonus to the player. Coral has subsequently argued to SBR that it has a right to limit its promotions however it wishes. Canceling all wagers from players that did not spot the country restriction terms, rather than deducting the bonus amount and honoring all winnings allows a potential free-roll of the player. SBR is discussing the bonus complaint with Coral further.
Coral (SBR rating A-) revamps rules and terms of service. Players are advised to review the updated rules pages.
Coral (SBR rating A-) adds notice that it will now grade all cricket bets that it has not offered a price for the tie or draw as no-action (voided wager). GamblersPalace (SBR rating C) & Skytower (SBR rating C) states that it reserves the right to require users to leave bonus and deposited funds in the account for 30 days before withdrawing.

The Pentagon wants to give its troops in the Gulf drugs and vaccines that are not licensed for general use. These may include genetically engineered antibodies and a vaccine for botulism that is used by larboratory workers.
According to a letter from Enrique Mendez, Assistant Secretary of Defence for Health Affairs, American soldiers need the treatment to deal with natural diseases as well as Iraq's chemical and biological weapons. 'The best preventive or therapeutic treatment calls for the use of products now under 'investigational new drug' (IND) protocols of the Food and Drug Administration,' wrote Mendez.
For the military, the FDA may waive its normal requirement that patients give their 'informed prior consent' before receiving an experimental drug. Mendez argued that these procedures are not feasible when troops are in combat.
The Pentagon refused to disclose which drugs they would like to use, fearing that Iraq might find the information ...

It has long been known that shales contain oil and gas but it is only within the last decade that the development of two technologies has made the extraction of gas from shale an economic proposition:
- The first of these is the ability to drill horizontally from an initial deep vertical bore.
- The second is the development of a process called 'hydraulic fracturing' .
Hydraulic fracturing is the use of a fluid made up of around 90% water carrying a load of sands, chemicals and sometimes diesel oil and forcing it into shales under high pressure, causing them to fracture and release the gas they contain.
This is the process from whose name the brute industrial tag of 'fracking' has been hacked.
To extract shale gas, you drill one or two miles down into the shale band, and then turn the drill head to bore horizontally for up to the same distance. This obviously increases the exposure of available shale to the well. A series of explosive charges in a perforated pipe are then detonated in the stretch designated for fracking, starting the fissuring of the rock for the hydrofracturing that then follows – directed into the new cracks, forcing them more widely apart and extending them.
Shale is hard and pretty impermeable so breaking it up in this way is the only means of releasing the gas it contains.
The gas then flows along the bore and escapes upwards to the well head.
The chemicals that are part of the water borne material injected into the rock include benzene – a known carcinogen that destroys bacteria that might otherwise clog up the fissures created in the rock.
Areas of gas carrying shales are known in the industry as 'shale plays' – as opposed to 'shale explorations'. The difference between the two is that the risk of 'shale plays' not containing extractable gas is lower.
Shale gas production and reserves
The USA is the only country where shale gas has yet been commercially exploited – and has been in production there for a decade. In 2009, shale gas accounted for 14% of the overall natural gas usage in the United States. Increasing production is expected to deliver 45% by 2035.
The first major shale play in production there was the Barnett Shale in Texas. Other major plays are the east coast's Marcellus and Utica Shales, the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas and the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana.
The USA's Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2011 estimates that the United States has 2,552 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of potential natural gas resources – including shale gas.
The small UK energy consortium, Cuadrilla, that has drilled two exploratory wells, with another currently being drilled and has found shale gas in Lancashire, is now saying that its test wells indicate a 200 trillion cubic feet reserve there, in the Bowland Shale.
This estimate is, however, already being questioned by academics, one of whom – oil and gas expert at Imperial College London, Professor Al Fraser, says that there is a lot of variability in these wells – meaning that the Cuadrilla test wells may not be reliably indicative. He is quoted as saying that the Cuadrilla figures may be optimistic by as much as a factor of 10.
The positives
On 1st November 2009 the Murdoch press's Sunday Times announced that America has been able to cut – very significantly – its imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) because of its discovery of massive resources of shale gas which it is energetically producing. As noted above, in 2009 America was getting 14% of its natural gas usage from shale gas sources.
In a blowout of its own, the Sunday Times said, breathlessly, that the shale gas 'breakthrough has opened a new frontier for the energy industry and turned long-held assumptions about the world's dwindling supplies on their head.' This forgets that these supplies too are finite. The Marcellus Shale under Pennsylvania is the second largest gas field in the world – and, according to Bloomberg Businessweek in March 2011, 'enough to heat U.S. homes and power electric plants for two decades'. That's only twenty years – and 1990 doesn't seem that long ago. However, its total resources of shale gas are said to be capable, at today's usage rates, of fuelling the United States for 100 years.
The 23rd September 2011 edition of The Telegraph claims in a headline that: 'Shale gas could solve the world's energy problems' – but fails to say for how long – except. airily, 'hundreds of years'. This is irresponsible journalism – and it comes from Christopher Booker. He goes on to say: 'So miraculous is the potential of shale gas to change the world that several countries, led by the US and China, are already piling in to exploit it on a huge scale.'
The positives of shale gas are simply that it buys us time – but the cost of that purchase is complex and its total unknown. Some of that cost is detailed below and some in the closing paragraphs of this article.
The negatives
Impact on global warming
Shale gas may accelerate rather than reduce global warming. It emits much greater volumes of methane than does conventional gas. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas, estimated in late 2010 by the USA's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to have a global warming potential of 105 times, mass for mass, that of carbon dioxide over 20 years and 33 times more over 100 years. In May 2010, concerned about the potential impact of shale gas on global warming, the Council of Scientific Society Presidents – who represent a total of 1.4 million scientists, wrote to President Obama pressing the urgent need for a stronger scientific foundation before going ahead with a national policy for developing shale gas production.
Scale of need for water
Drilling and fracking both require huge volumes of water – drilling for keeping the drill bit cool and for washing the rock debris out of the borehole; fracking for the water which is 90% of the process, needing up to 3 million gallons per treatment. The centrality of such volumes of water to the process may be an issue where extraction is planned for an area with limited supplies. Such a scenario could leave households and industrial users with short supplies. An area also with limited water supplies and prone to drought would leave production under constant threat of being unable to continue in such conditions.
Water contamination
Other water problems related to fracking arise from the volume of contaminated wastewater it produces. It is alleged that this can invade water tables and contaminate drinking water. While there have been no documented cases of this underground contamination, there have been above ground spillages. Most companies pump as much as they can of the millions of gallons of fracking wastewater back to the surface. There have been occasions where some of this – carrying the powerful carcinogen, benzene – has spilled from holding tanks. Such spillages can swamp treatment plants not equipped to handle high levels of contaminants. A New York Times article in February 2011, referring to documents from the Environmental Protection Agency and from state regulators, described how radioactive wastewater is being discharged into river basins. This of course opens up a direct route for such contaminants to enter the water supply, surface waters and wetland habitats. The Marcellus Shale – under Philadelphia and the second largest gas source in the world, runs beneath the watershed supplying an unfiltered 1 billion gallons of water a day to New York City.
Blowouts are a risk in any oil or gas drilling operation. In shale gas production, a blowout in June 2010 in Clearwater County in the USA threw a 75ft high combustible rocket of gas and toxic wastewater into the air. It took the gas company concerned a full 16 hours to bring this under control and the authorities had to evacuate the area. Water wells and springs supplying local forest cabins were contaminated.
Earth tremors
Cuadrilla's drilling in to the Bowland Shale in Lancashire, near Blackpool, has had to be put in limbo while research is done into the causes of two earthquakes that occurred during drilling and appear to be related to the drilling sites. On 1st April 2011 the North West of England shook to a 2.3 magnitude quake whose epicentre was under two miles from one of Cuadrilla's shale gas test wells near Blackpool. Only two months later, on 27th May 2011, there was another, more minor, quake registered at 1.5 and with its epicentre under 500 yards from the well. The British Geological Survey has said that it is probable that the tremors and the fracking process are linked. While the tremors are alarming, their magnitude was such that they were barely noticeable. But they were caused by a modest volume of fracking. In full production, with the country overwhelmed by a rush for energy and profit, there would have to be certainty that multiple simultaneous frackings would not trigger more muscular quakes. It is inconceivable that the fracturing and fissuring of rock a mile or two down can be without consequence of some serious kind.
Concerns on regulation
A major issue with fracking – given the level of known risk in the process, never mind the risk level associated with issues not yet understood or quantified – is the regulatory framework within which it is to be conducted, scrutinised and held to account.
In America, as Bloomberg Businessweek reported in March this year: 'The Delaware River Basin Commission, which manages the watershed that supplies drinking water to 15 million people in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, has put gas development on hold while it drafts rules.' This is the watershed lying above the massive Marcellus Shale.
Other states are also making their own rules and the White House is signalling that federal regulation will be either light or unnecessary: 'It's not necessarily federal regulation that will be needed'.
Worryingly, even if America's Environmental Protection Agency were to intervene, its hands and ankles are already tied – by that well known company to whom 'corporate social responsibility is a funny language for wimps. Enter Halliburton, whose head was George W Bush's Vice President, Dick Cheney, a man about whom history will have much to say.
Halliburton was one of the pioneers of fracking and, coincidentally, also sells fracking fluids.
A clause, popularly known as 'The Halliburton loophole', in the USA's 2005 energy law – which is said not to have reflected the Environmental Protection Agency's concerns about water pollution - actually exempts fracking from parts of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Dick Cheney is alleged by a Congressman, Maurice Hinchey, to have pushed for this exemption during his Vice Presidency.
This clause, unbelievably, allows companies to treat the composition of fracking fluids as trade secrets – so there is little public information available on what they contain or what risks these contents involve.
Closer to home and therefore even more worrying, Prime Minister David Cameron has been indicating light regulation for shale gas production. Energy Minister, Charles Hendry, seems equally underinformed or equally willfully irresponsible, saying in an article in the Guardian on 22nd September 2011, that 'given the amount of attention shale gas drilling has attracted recently, one could be forgiven for thinking there was a large, unregulated industry in operation in the UK. The is far from the reality. Shale gas exploration is just beginning here and is governed by one of the most robust and stringent regulatory frameworks in the world. ' He says.
The following day, 23rd September 2011, The Guardian published an article on government documents it has seen, showing that the regulation of fracking in the UK will be minimal.
We are still living with the consequences of our last sashay with 'regulation with a light touch'. As Santayana said, 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
Core issues
Green MP, Caroline Lucas, arguing that we must stall fracking until we know more, points out that the process has already been banned in France, New York, New Jersey, Quebec and the Swiss canton of Fribourg; and that, in July 2011, the government of New South Wales in Australia extended its moratorium on fracking for extracting coal seam gas – doing so in response to the concerns expressed by local communities.
There are clearly significant environmental and public health issues which require meticulous and honest investigation before any decision on whether or not to licence fracking in the UK is taken.
But beyond that is a different kind of issue – a psychological one and one bred in our cultural lack of a guiding philosophy.
The chief advantage of shale gas production is that it buys us time – time before we run out of adequate present sources of energy, time to develop and mature the new renewable energy technologies, time to upgrade our own national grid, time to negotiate and build international interconnectors to share power.
But where, in our cultural history, can we point to a moment when we have used the time available to prepare for a very different future?
If we go ahead with shale gas production it's a safe bet that we'll take the foot off the accelerator of developing renewable energies and carry on as thirstily as now.
Do we have the sheer character to make the hard choice, leaving this stuff in the ground, leaving the bedrock strong and pressing on as fast as we can with developing a future based on renewables? Improbable. Short termism rules.

Islamist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood condemned a visit to the Al-Aksa Mosque by Egypt's grand mufti, one of the country's highest religious authorities.
Sheik Ali Goma, accompanied by Ghazi bin Muhammad, chief adviser to Jordan's King Abdullah II for religious and cultural affairs, visited the mosque located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Wednesday. It was Goma's first visit to the shrine.
The Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement with close ties to Hamas that won nearly half the seats in the new Egyptian parliament, was among the groups that said the visit lent legitimacy to Israel's control of Jerusalem. Goma countered on Thursday via Twitter that he entered Jerusalem from the West Bank via Jordan and not through Israel.
Some extremists, including members of the Salafi Party, have called for Goma's dismissal.
Egyptian religious officials have refused to visit Jerusalem in protest of what it calls Israel's occupation of eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank.
The visit "is seen as an effort to encourage Muslims who are able to visit Al-Aksa Mosque, one of Islam's three holiest sites, and Islam's first Qiblah [direction of prayer]," according to a statement issued Wednesday from Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.
