Aug 29, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - With just two days remaining until It's Football Time In Tennessee, the Vols are making their final preparations for Saturday night's season opener against Austin Peay.
Tasked with living up to the name `Wide Receiver U,' assistant coach Zach Azzanni knows it's all about preparation and has put his nine guys through the gauntlet this preseason.
"Every kid is different; I think I have an idea of how they will respond," Azzanni said after Wednesday's practice. "A lot of it is how they prepare, how they practice. I am a firm believer that it's the week of preparation that usually dictates how they will play. I have a pretty good idea of how each of them will respond.
"I'm looking forward to watching them play and seeing what they can do. We have prepared them; Coach (Butch) Jones has prepared them. We will find out Saturday."
With youth at the position, Coach Azzanni says it's still a wide open competition. The group competing for starting spots includes the likes of true freshmen Marquez North and Josh Smith, redshirt freshman Jason Croom and sophomore Pig Howard.
"I have nine guys," Azzanni said. "We're going to take them and we're going to roll with them. We've got to go. They've all got to play.
"Who jogs out there at the first snap; I don't even know what it says on that depth chart. They're all going to play. They have to. Whoever jogs out there snap one might be completely different than snap two. They all responded and no one went and grabbed any spots."
In addition to starters and playmakers, Azzanni is also still looking for leaders. And right now, he's leading by example.
"You're looking at him. I am the alpha male," said Azzanni. "We need so much more experience. We need them to grow up a little. They need to have a little clout on the field and I think once that happens you will see some leaders emerge and it may be some freshmen.
"I understand what it is right now. I am that guy, I am the senior, I am the captain, I am the alpha male. The problem is with coaches sometimes, we become white noise, so you need a player to police the group and right now it's a work in progress."
Running backs coach Robert Gillespie is a no-nonsense coach.
He knows his job is to get the players prepared to play and to not be their fan.
"My job is to coach, critique, and correct," said Gillespie. "None of that is fun. My job is to find one thing for you to get better at and once you get better at it, I find the next thing that you've got to get better at. My job is to always find ways to make them better and when I do that, they'll respect me more and more. So, it's not about trying to gain friendships, it's about making those guys be the best football players they can be."
Gillespie, since joining the staff right before spring practice, has had over 30 practices to develop the 2013 running back corps and on Saturday night is ready to see them perform.
"You get nervous just like a player," said Gillespie. "As a coach, we really just play through the kids. So the same jitters, excitement, and anxiety that you have as a player, you have it for your kids because you want those kids to go out and be successful. They've worked, they've done all the things behind the scenes. We're excited and nervous just like the kids are."
The depth chart shows the senior Rajion Neal will be the starter with junior Marlin Lane and redshirt sophomore Tom Smith backing him up.
But just because they might be listed as such, doesn't mean that they are the only guys to play.
"Whenever the next guy's ready to go, he's ready to go," said Gillespie. "We don't have a depth chart. It sounds like some cool stuff to say, but who goes out first, Rajion may go out first and next play Marlin may be in and the next play Tom (Smith) may be in. So, it's just going to be by committee until we get a nice feel for who the guys are, to be honest with you."
Gillespie will look to the experience of Neal and Lane to help lead the rest of the running backs on Saturday, however.
"These guys are mature guys," said Gillespie. "They understand that they do have some of the most experience. They're two of the most experienced guys on this offense other than the offensive line. We have to do a great job of helping the line protect the quarterback, and also helping the guys on the perimeter and you do that by being able to run the ball."
"That's something they always have in the back of their minds," said Gillespie. "They've done a good job working. On Saturday night we'll see if they buy into it and they really go out and make plays."
The place kicker and punter is the same person. The special teams and tight ends coach is also the same person, but the dual-role for Michael Palardy and tight ends/special teams coach Mark Elder hasn't hindered them in either role.
The senior has proven his importance to special teams, which is apparent to his coach. As his coach, Elder is taking extra precautions to make sure his all-in-one player stays healthy.
"(Keeping Michael healthy) is a big concern and it's something we talk about every single day since he's doing so much for us," Elder said. "We make sure we're counting his reps from kickoffs to punts, making sure that he's not doing too much.
"We want him to be not only good for game one, but game two, three and all the way through."
With this much riding on one player, Elder says even though Palardy is splitting up reps between positions, he earned his spot.
"There's always things that guys can work on," Elder said. "It may be the placement on kickoffs, or making sure we're hitting where we want on the field on his punts. If it's not exactly on-point, then that's where we'll rep him. That's with every position; no one is perfect, but we're striving to be. You always try to get better where you're lacking at."
Another position the special teams coach isn't lacking at is the kick returner position, which Elder says junior Devrin Young has made sure he got the starting spot.
"He is the most consistent performer at (the returning) position from spring to fall if you look at what he's done," Elder said. "With the returner, you can't be good five out of six because that's a turnover."
Not only has Young gained consistency, Elder also says that since he arrived in the spring, Young has gained confidence with the ball on the field.
"It's a combination of the fact that he has been the most consistent guy along with the fact that he's a threat with the ball in his hands."
Heading into Saturday's game, the dual-role coach knows what to expect and isn't shying away from the madness to occur at Neyland Stadium.
"I'm looking forward to experiencing it firsthand," Elder said. "You see videos of it, you've watched it, read about it, heard about it and I'm excited to get the opportunity to do those things. I've played (at Neyland Stadium) before, so I know what it's like. I was on the other side of it, but I know that the atmosphere here is second to none."
In just two days, the Volunteers will run through the `T' to begin a new era of Tennessee football and defensive backs coach Willie Martinez plans to watch from above in the press box to see what Team 117's defense has to show Big Orange Nation.
Martinez hopes that the defense has learned that it doesn't matter if it's the first game of the season or the last, an SEC or non-conference opponent, you must expect the unexpected. The Tennessee defense will do just that.
"The thing that we say to our players all the time, you've been working since January, so regardless of who you play, let's be the best Tennessee football team we can be ourselves and worry about things we can control," Martinez said.
Most likely, Martinez plans to have many defensive players see time under the lights Saturday night. From veterans to walk-ons, Martinez and staff have watched players continuously develop and further understand the defensive playbook.
This year's defense, which contains multiple freshmen and walk-on players, has impressed Martinez as of late.
"I like them," said Martinez. "I like their attitude. Obviously, we have to see how they play. We have to see how they respond to playing in front of our fans and that environment, in an unbelievable atmosphere. So, it will be a true test how they go through it and will they produce and be effective."
Attitude reflects leadership.
`The good thing is we've got that leadership, the experience of Brian Randolph and Justin Coleman, Byron Moore, LaDarrell McNeil who went through it last year as a freshman," said Martinez. "You can see his communication with them. I know JaRon Toney has played nickel before, but it's really a new position for him from the standpoint of he's the No. 1 guy right now and Devaun Swafford backing him up.
"Obviously at the corner position you've got Cam (Sutton), and Malik Foreman and Reggie Juin, so they'll see playing time, and they've worked really hard. They've grown a lot in the last month, so to speak. I'm looking forward to seeing them play. I'm excited about it, so Saturday couldn't get here any quicker."

After the recovery of 2010, fear is starting to take hold that 2011 could be the year of the big commodity price bubble.
The source of this nervousness is largely the introduction of physically backed exchange traded funds for base metals, which allow investors direct access to large stockpiles of metal that might otherwise be used to build things.
But it is also the perpetual nagging worry that China cannot continue to underpin increasing demand alone and that new sources of supply long promised will finally come on stream to tip the supply-demand balance.
Yet, despite these concerns, most analysts have prices for bulk, base and precious metals, as well as coal, trading higher at least in the first half of the year before plateauing or at least increasing at a more leisurely rate in the second half.
Many commodity analysts point out, they have tended for most of the past decade to have underestimated the strength of markets, except in the case of huge global economic shocks.
Even during the global financial crisis, commodity prices held up much better than expected and bounced back much faster.
But it is this track record of strong performance that is really pulling in investors in these uncertain times and it is this investment based on large macro-economic themes rather than the fundamental market dynamics of individual metals that is worrying analysts.
In the short term, coal and iron ore are the least susceptible to the effects of mass investor inflows (and eventual inevitable outflows) because there are few mechanisms for investors to gain exposure directly to the commodities.
Coal and copper are top picks for both Citigroup and UBS analysts for 2011.
UBS has forecast an average copper price for 2011 of $US3.38 a pound, thermal coal at $US1.10 a tonne, iron ore fines at $US149 a tonne, gold at $US1550 an ounce, nickel at $US10 a pound and aluminium at $US1.12 a pound.
Citigoup has forecast an average copper price for 2011 of $US4.14 a pound, thermal coal at $US1.07 a tonne, iron ore fines at $US145 a tonne, gold at $US1444 an ounce, nickel at $US11.30 a pound and aluminium at $US1.18 a pound.

US general who led Desert Storm forces passes away aged 78
By Mathieu Rabechault ,AFP Saturday, December 29, 2012, 12:05 am TWN
WASHINGTON -- Norman Schwarzkopf, the U.S. general who drove Saddam Hussein's forces from Kuwait in 1991 as commander of the lightning campaign known as Operation Desert Storm, died Thursday at the age of 78.
Schwarzkopf, an American hero known popularly as "Stormin' Norman," died in Tampa, where he retired after his last posting as head of U.S. Central Command, which controls operations in the Middle East and South Asia.
"We've lost an American original," U.S. President Barack Obama said.
"From his decorated service in Vietnam to the historic liberation of Kuwait and his leadership of United States Central Command, General Schwarzkopf stood tall for the country and Army he loved," he said in a statement.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Schwarzkopf — a hulking bruiser of a commander with an explosive temper — had in "35 years of service in uniform left an indelible imprint on the United States military and the country."
Former President George H. W. Bush, himself sick in intensive care in Texas, was among the first to issue a statement mourning the loss of the man he chose to lead the war that came to define both of their careers.
"Barbara and I mourn the loss of a true American patriot and one of the great military leaders of his generation," his statement said.
"General Norm Schwarzkopf, to me, epitomized the 'duty, service, country' creed that has defended our freedom and seen this great nation through our most trying international crises," Bush said.
"More than that, he was a good and decent man — and a dear friend. Barbara and I send our condolences to his wife Brenda and his wonderful family."
The New York Times quoted Schwarzkopf's sister as saying he died from complications related to a recent bout with pneumonia.
In a major test of the post-Cold War order, Saddam Hussein's million-man army invaded Kuwait in 1990 and looked set to roll into Saudi Arabia, which would have given him more than 40 percent of the world's oil reserves.
Bush assembled a coalition of 32 nations and Schwarzkopf was given command of 425,000 U.S. and 118,000 allied soldiers, a force which decimated Saddam's military machine and drove it from Kuwait with minimal allied casualties.
Born in Trenton, New Jersey in 1934, Schwarzkopf's connection with the Gulf began when he was just 12 and he went to Iran to join his father, another decorated general, who had been posted there.
Educated in Tehran, Geneva and Frankfurt before returning to the United States to pursue a military career, Schwarzkopf specialized in mechanical engineering at the renowned West Point military college.
He also attended the University of Southern California and the U.S. Army War College.
Schwarzkopf served briefly as an instructor at West Point before heading to Vietnam to join the fast-swelling numbers of U.S. military advisers to the South Vietnamese army.
Quickly promoted up through the ranks, his reputation for bravery was confirmed during his second tour in Vietnam in 1970, when he rescued men from his battalion who were trapped in a minefield in the Batangan Peninsula.
His brusque and bold style was also the stuff of legend.
"When you get on that plane to go home, if the last thing you think about me is 'I hate that son of a bitch,' then that is fine because you're going home alive," he is reported to have said.
Schwarzkopf's infamous temper spawned the nickname "Stormin' Norman," which became tabloid headline fodder during the 1991 Gulf War. His troops, however, knew him as "The Bear."
"He was like a rock star. We all wanted to have our picture taken with him," wrote Mike Glenn, a Houston Chronicle reporter who served as an Army lieutenant in the Gulf War.

Vettel says rule changes will hamper his F1 title defense
MILTON KEYNES, England (AP) – Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel dismissed the prospect of running away with a third consecutive driver's title, predicting Monday a more competitive season because of rule changes that have cost Red Bull Racing a precious advantage.
Vettel dominated the 2011 championship, winning the title by 122 points from second-place Jenson Button after finishing on the podium in all but two races.
However, without the aerodynamic advantages from its pioneering exhaust-blown diffusers — which are now banned — it promises to be a very different year for Red Bull, which rolled out its 2012 car at its factory in Milton Keynes in north London on Monday.
STANDINGS: F1 final points leaders in 2011
"Looking at the cars, there's not much room left for the designers to play with, to find something extra," Vettel said. "The last two years we have had two big things taken away — the double diffusers, and for this year the system around the blown exhaust. We are missing that, and so it's difficult to really create a difference. We'll see."
Replacing the RB7 car that won 12 of 19 grand prix races last season, the RB8 designed by technical director Adrian Newey has a different exhaust to accommodate the rule changes and also features a new nose to fit revised height regulations.
Australian driver Mark Webber, who finished third in the drivers' standings in 2011, will be the first to test the new car at a track in Jerez, Spain, on Tuesday.
"The team's goals are quite simple — it's to try and defend both titles in the manner in which we achieved them," said Red Bull principal Christian Horner, whose team is looking to capture the constructors' title for the third consecutive year. "Of course, when you've achieved what we have, particularly in 2011, we've set a very high standard for ourselves. But we're always looking to improve. We're always looking, in all areas, to try and do better."
The excitement factor was missing last year as Vettel clinched back-to-back titles with four races to spare, winning 11 races and setting a record for pole positions in a season — 15.
"I think it will be very, very tight this year. Anything else would be a surprise," Vettel said. "For us, it all starts from zero again; zero points, where everyone has the same chance and we are all building our new cars."

Protect Your Back as You Lie DownSkip to the navigation
Current as of: November 20, 2015
Author: Healthwise Staff
Medical Review: Adam Husney, MD - Family Medicine
Bending or twisting your back can cause back pain. When you are getting into bed, avoid twists and bends by following these steps. First, back up to the bed, reach your hands back toward the bed as you bend your knees, and use your arms to help lower yourself to sit straight on the side of the bed. Then use your arms to support you as you lean to the side. At the same time, lift your legs off the floor. The idea is to keep your back in one nice, straight position as you lower your upper body and raise your legs. Keep your back straight and your legs bent after you are lying down. You can put a pillow between your knees and stay on your side, or roll onto your back and put a pillow under your knees.
To get out of bed, do the same steps in reverse: Roll to your side, use your arms to help raise your upper body as you lower your legs to the floor, then use your hands to help push yourself up from the bed.

Hot on the heels of our sweet little Royal Baby Welcome Cards, and whilst we await the arrival of the #royalbaby, come the Royal Baby Cookie Pops. The Girls suggested that I make them "some cookies that are babies too." They wanted Royal Ones But frankly I didn't have any yellow fondant icing, so instead I made Baby Cookie Pops as a tribute to the imminent arrival of the World's Most Famous Baby*.
They are fairly simple. Honestly. I used my favourite biscuit recipe to make a batch of round biscuits and as soon as they were out of the oven, I pushed a lollipop stick gently into them. Then I let them cool whilst I rolled out some of the fondant icing I had leftover from our Magic Belle Cupcake Cookies.
I pretty much used the same technique too: I cut out circles of pink which were affixed with water to the cookie pops then cut semi-circles of purple for the hats, also fixed with water. I made indents in the hats that gave the impression of it being knitted, and added a pompom to one. To the other I added a plaited brim.
Seriously, if you can play with Playdoh, you can use fondant. You use the same techniques: rolling out balls and worms and so on as the basis for shapes. The little noses are tiny balls of fondant- stuck with water- and the dummy I made with a flattened ball to which I added a teensy circlet of fondant worm.
Finally, I dug out my Wilton Cake Writer pens and added detail. The eyes and hair were simple but for the cheeks I wanted a slightly less cartoon effect so I drew with the red food writer on the tip of one finger then dabbed it onto the cheek area until I got the blushed effect.
They aren't perfect, obviously. It's hot, so the icing was harder to manage. There are dents from my over-enthusiastic nails and from where my kids joined in helping. I would make a more delicate plait if I did them again. Actually there's lots I would do differently but I don't have time to be a perfectionist. It's summer and I want to get out there with my kids. I only hope Kate gets to do the same.
*Poor thing. Anyone else feel a little sorry for Kate and the baby due to all the media coverage? I know how I felt in the days after LBG arrived and I could not have felt less like being in the spotlight.

There is a sadness to the story of Syria whose people have been beaten, tortured and killed by their own government. The Arab League has finally given up its attempt at peace and reconciliation and is leaving this tortured land. Syrian military deserters have grabbed weapons and are now using them against former comrades in arms. Reports indicate these rebels are now operating on the outskirts of Damascus where they are attempting to enforce some form of law and order.
There is no question, President Bashar al-Assad will shortly up the volume of violence and begin to kill anyone who dares oppose his ideas. UK Prime Minister David Cameron is upset at Russia which is supporting Assad. "Russia can no longer explain blocking the UN and providing cover for the regime's brutal suppression." Frankly, there is no evidence the Arab Spring will spring up in Syria.

Rep. Espinoza introduces bill barring enforcement of gun laws
Rep. Nora Espinoza, R-Roswell, introduced a bill that would bar the enforcement of federal gun laws on guns in New Mexico. It would also direct the office of the attorney general to defend any citizen who was accused of breaking laws on guns.
The Albuquerque Journal's Dan Boyd reported on the bill yesterday.
In the piece, it appears that the bill will have a tough road.
Rep. Gail Chasey, D-Albuquerque, the new chairwoman of the House Judiciary Committee, said Thursday that she had not seen Espinoza's bill but that it likely would raise significant legal questions.
"I don't know how a state says you can't enforce a federal law," Chasey said. "I think secession would have to precede that, but I guess we'll see."
The bill was assigned to the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee and the House Judiciary Committee.
The bill is based on a Montana law that was passed in 2009. Since then, six other states have enacted the law.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) wrote an open letter to Montana gun owners (pdf) that told them federal law trumps state law.
From the July 16, 2009 letter:
The Act purports to exempt personal firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition manufactured int he State, and which remain in the State, from most Federal firearms laws and regulations. However, because the At conflicts with Federal firearms laws and regulations, Federal law supersedes the Act, and all provisions of the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act, and their corresponding regulations, continue to apply.
The Montana law attempts to use a legal theory that the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution allows states to "nullify" federal laws that they do not agree with.
Other laws, such as the one in Ohio, have specifically cited the 10th Amendment in their attempts to make themselves exempt from gun laws.
This is a legal theory called "nullification" — which is familiar to historians who know that slaveholding states attempted to use the legal theory to nullify laws relating to the freeing of slaves.
This eventually led to the secession of southern states and the Civil War.
The thought of nullification has been an out-of-the-mainstream political theory but has increasingly been pushed by activists and even some Republican officeholders in recent years since the health care reform law passed by Congress and singed by President Barack Obama.

Rep. Espinosa's bill (as reported here) obviously violates the supremacy clause, and is therefore unconstitutional. Even holding a committee hearing on the issue would be a waste of time.
The Supremacy Clause only applies if Congress is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally authorized powers. Federal laws are valid and are supreme, so long as those laws were adopted in pursuance of—that is, consistent with—the Constitution
Could she be any more embarrassing? NM has bigger fish to fry – like job growth and poverty and education.
Nothing is more important than freedom. You should go and read what happened to the Russians when they gave up their guns in 1917. Notice that the same group caused the problem there?
This is from Ynet, an Israeli news service.
Thank you Rep. Espinoza for trying to make our voices heard. The people will not go for anymore infringement on their rights.
Bless you and let me know if I can help you on this issue.
Best Regards,
Ken Ward
It is not my opinion that existing federal gun laws should be ignored but to indicate this person is moronic for suggested would call many other legislatures in to questions as well. After all is this any different from the state of Colorado ignoring federal marijuana laws? Do not confuse the question and turn it to guns are more dangerous than marijuana. This is about the discussion regarding state enforcement or lack of enforcement of federal law.
No, Ginia, you're engaging in false equivalence. Rep. Espinoza is trying to criminalize law enforcement. CO doesn't do that with the DEA, which can still do its job because of the Supremacy Clause.
Thank you Rep. Espinosa for your support! It is chilling to watch our rights being stripped daily due to ignorance, fear mongering and blatant lies. Thanks for standing. Wish I had you in my district.

Ana Maria says "The Rappaport Fellowship program offered me an invaluable opportunity to work from the 'inside' of the system and learn more about local and state policies. Before applying for the Rappaport Fellowship I had a very vague idea of policies impacting young children's wellbeing in the state of Massachusetts. My experience with the Somerville Family Learning Collaborative allowed me to work hand in hand with professionals who have been working in this area for decades. The Rappaport Fellowship also connected me to a mentor with extensive experience in social projects who was an inspiration and role model. My experience in the summer seminars provided me with the opportunity to learn from other fellows working in policy areas such as healthcare, public housing and urban planning that expanded my view even further."

Ugh you don't get what hes saying, if we have Hall, Nuge, Yak, Schultz, Perron etc how are we going to afford +7 million for Stastny, it would be nice to have him but eventually we wouldn't be able to keep these players, yes the cap is going up but as we get more and more of our young kids improving those players will ask for a lot more and that 7 million will be pretty scary when hes +33 and our kids are in their prime asking for 7-8 million.
#1. Boon Jenner: Young, gritty and skilled and is still considered to be developing. CBJ have depth through the middle and he can be had for cheap compared to other options.
#2. Brayden Schenn: Same player as Jenner just 2 years older and has a lot of NHL experience as well as playing very well in last years playoffs. But from what ive seen Philly are looking for defense in return which we don't have, it would take a lot to pry him out of there.
#3: Colin Wilson: Hes not really super physical or gritty but hes a big body with skill who would flourish in an offensive system and has learned a lot being in Trotz' system and would be cheaper than Schenn
#4: Dave Bolland: Hes been stuck behind a lot of centers his career and played a shut down role really well, if Toronto cant meet his contract demands we could get him for cheap or wait till FA and hope he signs here.
Honorable mention: 2014 Draft: I only make a trade for a 2c at the draft, if Ekblad isn't available there's a good chance Sam Bennett is, there's our #2 right there. We could possibly trade down and draft Connor Bleackley who looks really great in red deer but may or may not take a bit to develop, hard to say.

Officially called the much-less-fun National Stadium, the Bird's Nest will not let the all-electric race cars chase each other around a running track. Instead, the EVs will race outside the stadium on a 3.44-kilometer (2.14-mile) course with 20 turns that was designed by Rodrigo Nunes. One notable aspect of the course is a U-shaped pit that will have spectator space inside. That's the plan, anyway, as long as it passes final FIA Homologation.
The 60-minute race will happen on September 13, 2014 with 20 drivers on 10 teams competing. After the Beijing event, the series moves to Malaysia and then to locations in the Americas and Europe before ending in London in June 2015. There are more details in the press release below. The Bird's Nest hasn't been empty since the 2008 Olympics. Tourists come to visit every day and the stadium has been used for concerts and soccer matches in recent years.
- Olympic Stadium to provide backdrop for championship opener and world's first fully-electric single-seater race
BEIJING, CHINA (13, March 2014) – Organisers of the FIA Formula E Championship have today revealed the location and circuit layout of the Beijing Formula E Grand Prix – exactly six months ahead of the opening round of the new global electric race series.
Taking place on Saturday, 13th September 2014, the inaugural Formula E race has been set around the grounds of China's iconic Olympic Stadium, more commonly known as the 'Bird's Nest' and venue for the 2008 Olympic Games. At 3.44km in length and featuring 20 turns, the anti-clockwise temporary circuit has been custom made by designer Rodrigo Nunes, working in close cooperation with the FIA, Formula E, the Republic of China Motor Sport Federation (FASC), the Olympic Park Committee, the Beijing Mayor, the Chinese Government and event organiser Team China Racing.
The circuit, which remains subject to final FIA Homologation, boasts an impressive cityscape backdrop taking in both the Beijing National Aquatics Centre and the Olympic Stadium itself. It will see the 20 Formula E drivers tackle a mix of tight left-hand turns - offering late braking and overtaking opportunities - together with twisty chicanes and two main straights. In addition, the track features a unique 'U-shaped' pit lane with spectator areas located inside giving fans an incredible close-up view of the action.
The Beijing Formula E GP circuit is the first of 10 city-centre races on the inaugural 2014/2015 Formula E calendar to be revealed. Formula E is a new FIA Championship using fully-electric single-seater race cars capable of speeds in excess of 225km/h. Ten teams, each with two drivers, will go head-to-head to create a unique and exciting racing series designed to appeal to a new generation of motorsport fans, whilst accelerating the electric vehicle market and promoting sustainability.
Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E, said: "Today's unveiling of the Beijing circuit marks a very special moment in the evolution of the FIA's Formula E Championship. From the series' official launch back in August 2012, we have since confirmed our 10 host cities, 10 international teams, leading partners, global TV broadcasters and signed drivers. Now people can visualise where all the aforementioned will come together to put on the world's first fully-electric race, which we're sure is going to be an amazing spectacle. Getting to this stage has taken an enormous effort from everyone involved and I'd like to personally thank them for helping us turn the FIA's vision into a reality. The track looks fantastic and we're looking forward to going racing come September."
Mr JuQing Tian, Executive Director of the Beijing Olympic Park Management Committee, said: "We are pleased to welcome the FIA Formula E Championship to our beautiful Beijing Olympic Park on 13th September 2014. The race has been classified as one of the top five Beijing Municipal Sport Events. As the venue management department and race supporter, we will try our best to provide local support and assist the Formula E race operation. I would like to take this opportunity to remind all motorsport fans about the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games glory and proudly present the development of sports and culture industry in the post-Olympic times. All these have given full expression to the sincerity and determination of the Beijing government and people to protect the environment. Finally, I would like to wish the event a great success and many more years in the city of Beijing."
Lucas di Grassi, one of the signed drivers for the Audi Sport ABT Formula E Team, commented: "The Beijing track is an amazing facility. For the drivers, it will be a tremendous challenge to learn the limits of this track quickly, as well as to understand the best overtaking opportunities. The most obvious places are likely to be the first and last corners. The circuit will also require lots of traction and braking stability, while the energy recuperation at braking zones will help to stabilise the car. The pit lane is also unique and requires some special practice to get right."
Formula E races will be held over a single day in order to minimise disruption to each host city with the practice session, qualifying and 60-minute race taking place on Saturday followed by a live music concert.
Further details, including ticket prices, will be available via the official Formula E website – www.fiaformulae.com – and via the forthcoming official Beijing Formula E GP website and social media channels.

As the strawberries are saying their final adieu here in Tennessee, I wanted to try something different. I immediately remember Kevin's from Closet Cooking, Roasted Strawberry and Goat Cheese Salad that he made last July, because I have mind like a steel trap. Ah! Do you believe that? My mind is actually more like a colander, saving things like Donny Osmond's favorite color (or at least what was his favorite color when he was 14), and setting free, things like why I walked into this room in the first place. But through the miracle of Google, I was able to find it again.
I remembered this salad because..one, it called for roasting the strawberries, which sounded intriguing, and two, it had baked goat cheese. Everything is better with baked goat cheese. My only concern was the vinegar with the strawberries. Vinegar and strawberries sounded creepy to me..kind of like the whole watermelon and feta thing that some people do. I really can't bring myself to try that, but the vinegar and strawberries sounded like it might have possibilities. It was wonderful! The strawberries almost tasted like a sweet wine, so deep and flavorful. We ate this as a light dinner salad (the day after one of those 1/2 pound burgers that I've been known to grill), and it was perfect. I'm not going to repost his recipe, since I followed it exactly, just follow the link back to Kevin's and check it out.

The police said that the woman, Jody Diane Gibson, had been running a prostitution ring that catered to actors, producers and athletes. After the verdict on Friday, she was taken immediately into custody and ordered held in $500,000 bail.
Ms. Gibson, known as Babydol, is a self-described aspiring pop singer and, the police said, a former associate of Heidi Fleiss, who became known as the Hollywood Madam.
She faces up to eight years in prison when she is sentenced on April 28. Her lawyer, Gerald Scotti, said he would appeal her conviction.Continue reading the main story

What do you do with old encyclopedias?
Librarians who LibraryThing
Join LibraryThing to post.
I'm wondering if anyone else out there has this problem, and, if so, what do you do about it?
Our library doesn't accept donations of old magazines or encyclopedias, but that doesn't stop people from trying to leave them with us. Their major issue is that they feel these books (usually from the 1970's or earlier) are still good and still contain useful information so they don't want to just "throw them out". Our local recycling center won't accept them unless the covers are removed which, for a 30 volume encyclopedia, can be quite a task.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other (preferably earth-friendly) ways of disposing of the encyclopedias because people seem absolutely appalled when I suggest that they should probably just throw away their 1954 Britannica.
Maybe they can be sold or given away at the library, or donated to some organization.
The public library I used to work for would have us recycle unwanted books when we couldn't get rid of them. Taking off covers (AND the glue in the binding) is a pain, though. Some workers had to wear gloves. I can see why you want to find another way to dispose of them.
Oh, people just don't listen, do they? And they seem to think it's a sin to throw away a book. My library has this problem too but we're a special library so much smaller scale than you deal with. We accept the stuff (telling the donor that if we can't use it or give it away we will dispose of it) and then throw it away.
I also volunteer for an annual charity booksale and we say right up front on all the ads: Please DON'T donate National Geographics, encyclopedias, Readers Digest books or out-dated reference materials. Every year we throw out tons even before the sale. I have no idea why people think donating the manual for their old computer mouse (and not even including the mouse itself) is helpful. Or DOS manuals from the 1990s. Or their accounting text from university in the 1970s. Gah.
Sorry, I know this is not helpful - just venting and sympathy...
The guy from the first site says, "I am interested in older hardback books that look better than they read. I prefer books with strong type on the cover and spine. Older encyclopedias with gilt type on the spines and embossed covers are always great. I will pay shipping to get certain books by arrangement."
How cool! I kind of want one for myself now...
Thanks for sharing, timepiece.
A free shelf is a wonderful thing. We accepted donations of books and magazines, many of them would end up in the Friends book shelf. But the magazines, encyclopedias, and just plain dirty books were put on a free shelf. And peole loved it!
If your library does book sales, you might want to advertise/label these sorts of items as craft materials. In addition to the bookcase idea timepiece shared, there are a lot of instructions on sites like craftster for things like the purses made from books (for example), which require sturdy hardcover volumes. Lots of people are making altered books now as well, and they need sturdy books for that.
I think that some of the items that people donate would work better as raw materials for craft projects than read for their (out-of-date) information. For example, the library in my former town always had a box of outdated maps, and I collect those for various projects. One day a man came into the previous school library where I worked and was going on about how kids these days don't learn geography and so forth. He made a big show of donating a large stack of maps for this purpose - from the 1950's! I probably don't have to tell you that our social studies teachers didn't want to teach with maps of countries that don't even exist anymore (this was in 2007), so those went right home with me.
Also, I have heard (although I have no idea where I saw this) that there's a library that was cutting outdated hardcover books into different shapes and selling them for crafting purposes. Does anyone know more about this?
I've been tempted to use some of our discarded books to make a book lamp, but I've just never found the time. Those would be neat for the library silent auctions!
I've seen unwanted donations like this - suitably sealed up, re-covered and labelled - being re-used as bookends/shelf dividers within a school library. Works pretty well for, say, fiction collections organized alphabetically by author.
Anyway, just another idea that might keep them out of the waste stream for a while. (Possibly the encyclopedias would be too large for this though).
Thanks for the suggestions! One of my colleagues told me about someone who takes the pages out of old books and makes purses with the cover. I thought that was kind of cool too. I'll have to find out how she does it. I never thought of using unwanted donations as craft material.
I don't know how you'd get into contact with anyone specifically, but I do know that interior decorators use older encyclopedias and such to stage and decorate with. It is quite popular for interior designers to buy these books for the sheer "look" of them. My mom loves to decorate and one year, she wiped out the Readers Digest Condensed Books at the public library's old book sale.
Pardon the intrusion (I'm not a librarian), but I think one innovative use would be to slice out the pages and use them to paper a bathroom. Seriously. Since people call it the "reading room" anyway, it would add a touch of whimsey and novelty, and give people the opportunity to lean something whilst they are taking care of business....
(Some sort of clear overcoating/sealant would probably be needed, and would give the effect a nice glossy quality.)
We recently got rid of 2 sets and I listed them on Craigslist. They were claimed and given to happy homes within a week.
We've found that old encyclopedias are hot items in the local church yard sales among our immigrant population, most of whom are Latin American or Southeast Asian. I asked a Honduran gentleman what he wanted with a 1970 edition of World Book Encyclopedias. He said that it would help the family learn English, kids and grandmas included. We sold the set for $5 and another set of 1957 Funk & Wagnells for the same amount to a family from Colombia for pretty much the same reason.
I think the book lamp would be much better with a lamp shade bade out of book pages, rather than the standard Target lampshade.
Also, my parents found a great home for their two sets of Encyclopedias as well as their set of News Annuals to a family who is home schooling their kids.
In the UK there is (or used to be) a style of pub/restaurant decoration in which old hard cover books, and other 'old-fashioned' paraphernalia, arranged dustily on hard to reach shelves and nooks, were used to establish a mood of maybe traditionalism, maybe scholastic probity, or maybe just kitsch.
Might be worth a few calls to interior designers? I hate to see any book thrown away!
Thinking even more laterally, into recycling, uniform-thickness encyclopedia volumes could be ideal for constructing sandwich-structure floors with sound-deadening properties, or even walls with fire-retarding (ablative) characteristics!
A library I used to work out had success with their friends group selling some old books sets as a weekend auction (usually comparing prices on amazon). Might want to check if you got a collectible, as some old encyclopedias are.
Otherwise, the pictures are great for craft projects.
I know this is an older message, but for any interested SCARCE bookrescue program in glen Ellyn takes all older books, encyclopedias, and National Geographic magazines. We recycle them to third world countries, or at the very worst, use a high tech recycling company that chips hardboard books and results in 99% paper production out of recycled books. I know many Libraries refuse them, but please refer them to us as we do not want anymore paper going into landfills. Ken.
#18 - could you put some contact info on your profile page to help us find you if we think we might want to use your services. Thanks.
They are great for stuff like this:
Well, recycle - which here means tearing off all the covers - a great task for just the right 11 year old boy. eek
Toss them down a manhole when no one's looking.
Edited to clarify: I meant the encyclopedias, not the 11 year old boys.
Is eek a sound you make or your initials?
I am interested in doing this. COuld you please post some more info on how we can do this as I have a nice set of Americanas.
Are you kidding?? These old encyclopedias are still on my shelves...can't get the school district to cough up the money to update them. The other day a kid looked up Germany, and discovered there were two of them. 1988 New Book of Knowledge. My newest is a 1991 Americana, which I snagged from a public library that was getting rid of them. Discarded a 1977 World Book set last year. Gave them to the custodian with instructions they were to immediately go into the dumpster. The cafeteria lady saw them and took them. Sigh.
This is an issue that drives me crazy. Our policy is that we do not accept encyclopedias or textbooks. We used to when I took over donations and after about 2 years I noticed they were not selling and taking up valuable space. Sometimes they still get in though and if that happens they go to recycling.
The dime room of my local library has had boxes of a 1960's era World Book encyclopedia taking up floor space for some weeks now. Save for the unlikely event that Nicholson Baker happens to wander through, they will probably sit there until the floor collapses.
I know that the internet is not the be all and end all - but #28 would you consider recommending Britannica Online? The full version is expensive, of course, but you can get a lot of good info free.
Incorrect information is not information - it is junk.
We just weeded our 1988 World Book (we're a high school). I sent out a message to teachers in the off chance that one of them might be able to use it in their classroom and received (almost immediately) three replies!
We actually have free access to Britannica Online, and it's great, and I teach my kids to use it also. The problem is that I have only 2 student computers in the library, making it impossible to teach an entire class. I have to teach that in the computer lab with the computer teacher; I also have to team teach with her to teach the kids how to use the OPAC. Better than nothing, but not ideal. A new library is underway sometime this year; hopefully next year I'll have A)new encyclopedias, and B) enough student computers to teach in my own room. Crossing fingers. :)
I've got some lovely 1950s encyclopaeidas that are really beautiful and have some historical interest but alas I don't have room to store them. Not sure what to do now, as I don't want to make them all into handbags!!
Tear off the binding and recycle them.
I'm not sure what else could be done with them. If you are artistic, you could try to create something out of them I suppose.
This reference desk made of books comes to mind.
I once made a sofa table out of books topped with a glass shelf. I didn't have any bookshelves so it just sort of happened. Looked good too. Wish I had a picture of it now.
Since the 20th century we have been under a large amount of censorship particularly involving the processes of synthesis and the processes of manipulating sulphur into sulphur oxide there are several forms of synthesis that are no longer considered up-to-date information but if you were an inventor or scientist even dangerous information is valuable just for its intellectual merit.
In the last hundred years many of the greatest scientific achievements have been composed around volatile reactions many of them used in the processes unfortunately of making destructive chemicals but the scientific value of the process so important. I guess what I'm saying is that although we call this the age of information when it comes down to it is really the age of censorship and any scientist/inventor would almost definitely have its own set of out of date encyclopaedias for this very reason.
I can appreciate that working in a library or commercial facility it's difficult to see any value in a book so old and out of date especially when it comes to working with the public so you're right. But I personally feel that we shouldn't really be throwing old encyclopaedias away as they will never be printed without censorship again. this is my personal opinion and as such it is probably wrong so just ignore me unless you feel constructive.
>37 Spgsamuel: it is really the age of censorship
Prove it. After the Supreme Court rulings of the 1950s to 1970s, the official ability of the US government to censor anything is minimal. Manning and Snowden demonstrated the ability of people to dump large amounts of information on the net that the government simply can't do anything about.
any scientist/inventor would almost definitely have its own set of out of date encyclopaedias for this very reason.
Really. For no discipline that I'm deeply concerned with would I turn to an EB of any date for information. You're seriously telling me that given a choice to refer to a 1962 EB or a 1962 CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, a competent scientist or inventor of any stripe would prefer the first?
they will never be printed without censorship again
Encyclopedias will never be printed again, period. The Encyclopedia Britannica store offers as encyclopedias for adults the 1768 edition and a French encyclopedia; no 21st century Britannica to be seen.
>37 Spgsamuel: *head against desk* If you, or anyone would like Public Libraries not to throw out encyclopedias that are horribly out of date, feel free to find us all the space that we'll need to keep it (or any of the other books that everyone gets all in a tizzy about us recycling/giving away). Hell, most of the freakin' public thinks that we should just close anyway... so, keeping horribly out of date/wrong encyclopedias on the shelves instead of their Janet Evanovich and James Pattersons... not ever going to happen.
Not to mention, old encyclopedias also have horribly, horribly wrong information in them more often than not as well. Not because of 'censorship', but because we've learned in the last 70, 50, 30, or whatever years.
I have a complete set of American encyclopaedias that are 120 years old. They are in rough shape but still readable. I received them from my father. What should I do with them? I think they are really interesting, however, my wife says to toss them.
I suspect that, since you say the condition's rough, you'll discover that those books are not really worth anything. Here's some places where you can search for their values:
http://www.abaa.org/ (Antiquarian Booksellers)
http://www.alibris.com/ (Alibris is not easy to search)
http://www.alibris.com/books/rare-collectible (best link for them)
http://www.biblio.com/ (Bilio is one of my favorites)
http://rarebooks.blackwell.co.uk/rarebooks/ (Pricey, but some of the rarest books are found there)
There are very few books in other than at least fair condition that are worth anything, unless they are extremely rare. Encyclopedias, even from the late 1800s, aren't (to my knowledge) in that class.
Good look with your search.
I love old books (I have a LOT of them), but if you keep them, keep them because they were your father's (if you have the room).
Bad information isn't worth the paper it's printed on; indeed, whatever it is, it isn't really information. Toss them. You might want to tear out pages with pretty pictures first. Use them on bulletin boards, perhaps.
I regret throwing out my Grandma's 1957 Funk & Wagnall Encyclopedias, just because I love history. It's interesting to see what people considered valuable information at the time and how wrong or right it's become in the intervening years.
Is there an art class somewhere who could use them to produce some of the great book art that can be seen around the Internet.
Looking at the links that Lyndatrue posted, I would suggest one of the aggregate sites that searches several databases at once. I especially like:
It searches almost all of the databases available (except perhaps eBay or etsy) and you can sort the results by price.
When searching, be specific enough but not too specific. A last name, title key words, and word from the publisher or year will usually zero in on the books you seek.
Always remember that the prices listed are copies that have not sold, often because of price. One interpretation is that these are the lowest prices at which the books won't sell. The copies sold disappear and the sale information is not available as a price guide.
If anyone is looking to get rid of a nice encyclopedia set I am looking for one. I have a child that is described as a genius; he literally loves to consume everything he can get his hands on; he values nestolgic perspectives, it helps him understand the times.
There was a free book exchange box in Chicago on Chicago Ave. where almost everything was gone by the next day regardless of its age or usefulness. I think homeless people would use the paper for fire or possibly toilet paper, but after years of donating and seeing the most ridiculous titles in there, I'm still not sure where and why they all went so quickly.
>47 romulous2: As we have no information about you other than a username and what you have posted above, it's hard to respond to your request. If you are anywhere near where I live (check my profile page), I do have a set of Britannica's from the 1990's I'd like to send to a good home. I've been trying to find someone who wants them for arts and crafts, but no takers at the moment.

There might be a good match there. ;-)

I care very much about people in general and I've been told on many occasions that i'm a sincere person and that i'm "the real deal". This has meant a lot to me and i try to live up to it. I nurture my relationships and cherish my family and close friends. I was told by someone once that the greatest falsehood that people believe is that people are capable of being the best person they can be on their own. But rather we need people in our lives that compliment us and push us to be the best person we can be. I believe that full heartedly. I have friends that help me in that department and i do everything i can to be that person for others.

Rita's Italian Makes Jacksonville Beach Look Good2012-08-01 1 2 Share Tweet
One word: Gelati. Two words: Mango Gelati. Three words: Best when cold. Four words: I want one now! In my opinion, Jacksonville Beach isn't family friendly. Too many college age and homeless bums hang out at this beach. There are so many cigarette buds on the ground. My fear is that I'll step on broken beer glass in the sand. And a friend of a friend almost got raped while out jogging in the morning. I avoid it.
I recently went with friends to this beach. Just because we haven't seen each other for a while, I thought I'd give the beach another chance. There were surfing and lots of wind and waves. Quite often, and since there is a heat wave going on, vendors will scout the parking lots for dehydrated beach goers and nagging kids. Most of the people are nice, but I would take them with a grain of salt. Just be safe. Travel in groups. I don't usually go to this beach, but for all it's worth, I'll go anywhere for Rita's!
On the way to the beach – and while I was enjoying every spoonful of my sugary treat, a guy loading his surfboard into his car asks me, "Are those any good?" My immediate response was, "This is amazing!" What am I eating you may ask? A Mango Gelati. It's similar to a mango slushy or mango sorbet topped with a good amount of creamy, frozen custard on top. This tasty concoction can be found at Rita's Italian Ice. The first time I came here, I didn't know what Rita's was. Italian Ice. Gelatos. Ice cream. Big deal. It's the frozen yogurt's time of year! But my friends wanted me to try a Mango Gelati. Before I knew it, my gelati cherry has been popped!
Just north of Beach Blvd, you come up to a small white-and-red building on the corner of 3rd Street and AIA North. You can either walk up to the window and have a seat in their signature red benches or use the drive through. Mind you, the drive through caters to those on the passenger side. Don't know why they did that in the States…Anyway, there is parking nearby, but it's limited, and only for Rita's customers only. The inside is strictly for the employees, so seating is outside. Some days you get there without a crowd but other days this place is busy in the hottest hours of the day.
I couldn't get enough of that frozen custard on top, so I asked them to make it upside down: mango at the top and the custard on the bottom. Little did I know that they make the Gelati with the frozen custard on top, mango in the middle, and more custard on the bottom! Either way, I'm addicted. There are other cool treats: ice cream, drinks, etc. But come and find out why Gelati is their #1 selling treat!

US Barber Quarters
By 1887, the Seated Liberty quarter had been around for almost half a century. This prompted U.S. Mint Director James Kimball to push for a new design. An open competition was held but the entries were not inspiring. Thus, the mint's Chief Engraver, Charles E. Barber, was given the job of designing the new coin.
The Barber Quarter that was eventually adopted in 1892 featured a cameo-like profile of Lady Liberty that was similar to the one that had been used on the Morgan silver dollar in 1878, except it's facing to the right. On her head sat the ever-popular Liberty cap and a laurel wreath. The words "In God We Trust" appeared at the top of the coin above her head, while the coin's year was placed at its bottom.
The quarter's reverse reproduced the Great Seal of the United States, and in the eagle's beak was a ribbon with the words "E Pluribus Unum" on it. Both sides of the Barber quarter featured 13 stars, one for each of the original colonies.
The first batch of 1892 Barber quarters didn't stack properly due to problems with the coin's relief. For collectors, this means that there are two types of 1892 Barbers to seek out. The way to tell the difference is to look on the coin's reverse. In some coins, Type 1, the eagle's left wing only partially covers the letter "E" in "United." In Type II quarters, the eagle's wing covers most of the letter "E." In a third type of Barber from 1900 and later, the eagle's wing extends past the "E."
Millions of Barber quarters a year were produced between 1892 and 1916, so most are easy to find and affordable, making them a favorite of beginning coin collectors. The exceptions are the Barbers minted in San Francisco in 1896, 1901, and 1913.

O K now that I have all your attention.
I am sorry to post this here but I did not know the right forum . I belong to several forums and I get a sense that this group [coal men] is ..mature , down to earth , intelligent , and will want to save money .
I have had an idea in my head for many years. I do not know how to work out the sizing , or "engineer" it , but I think it will work .
Take several hundred to several thousand feet of , say 1" flexible plastic tubing and bury it 10-12ft below the surface of the yard . Run it into the house to a circulator then to , say maybe a "modine style hanging radiator [the ones in garages , with the fans behind them]
The ground at that level stays a constant 55 deg.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK [ before I start digging for nothing ???]

CUSLAI promotes research and educational initiatives in Latin American studies, and works to strengthen the intellectual and cultural connections between students and faculty at UT Dallas and their Latin American counterparts.
Last year marked a transitional period for the Center when I accepted my appointment as director with a commitment to build upon the solid foundation that had been established through CUSLAI's past activities. Originally created in 1995 as the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies, CUSLAI has recently expanded its scope to include all of Latin America. This evolution reflects the expanding interconnectedness between the Latin American region and the UT-Dallas community.
The 2015-16 academic year offers opportunities for further developing the Center's existing programs and expanding into new areas. CUSLAI represents the truly interdisciplinary spirit of the university as a whole, drawing faculty associates from each of UT-Dallas's eight separate schools. The Center will continue to sponsor faculty research through a competitive grant program. The 2015 awards went to Dr. Danieli Rodrigues (Chemical Engineering) for research in Brazil and to Dr. Jennifer Holmes (Political Economy) and Alvaro Cardenas (Computer Science) for a collaborative research project in Colombia. The strength of CUSLAI's excellent faculty associates helps to ensure the Center's long-term success.
As our featured event of the academic year, CUSLAI has invited Dr. Kevin Casas-Zamora, former Vice President of Costa Rica, to give a public lecture on "Prospects for Democracy in Latin America." Other lectures will continue to feature the winners of the 2015 faculty research grants along with other distinguished scholars.
I am enormously grateful for the support and enthusiasm of the entire UT-Dallas community as CUSLAI makes this transition and takes on new endeavors. For regular announcements and updates, please sign up for our email notifications at CUSLAI Discussion List or follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CUSLAI Twitter at @cuslaiutd and on Instagram at @cuslaiutd.

Heart disease health centre
This article is from the WebMD News Archive
Fabrice Muamba's cardiac arrest
20th March 2012 - You need to be in peak fitness to play in the Premier League, which made it all the more shocking for fans when Bolton's Fabrice Muamba collapsed from a cardiac arrest on Saturday.
The FA Cup tie with Spurs at White Hart Lane was abandoned while Fabrice Muamba was given CPR and defibrillator treatment on the pitch in from of thousands of fans.
He was taken to the specialist heart centre at The London Chest Hospital.
The hospital says Fabrice Muamba has had a comfortable night in the intensive care unit where the medical team is continuing to monitor his progress.
His fiancé Shauna said on twitter: "Ur positivity, love and faith is helping Fabrice. For that I can only thank u all xx"
A charity which specialises in screening young athletes for undiagnosed heart conditions tells us it has already had "constant phone calls" to its helpline requesting screening after people heard about Fabrice's collapse.
Cardiac arrest or heart attack?
The Heart Attack Centre at The London Chest Hospital and Bolton Wanderers say Fabrice sustained a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup Quarter Final against Tottenham Hotspur. A cardiac arrest in a young fit adult such as in Fabrice's case usually occurs because of an electrical disturbance in the heart that leads to either a severely disturbed rhythm (such as ventricular fibrillation, where the heart effectively stops working) or it stops altogether. The result is the same – no blood reaches the brain and the patient loses consciousness and is at risk of death within a few minutes if not given CPR immediately. A typical heart attack usually occurs in older people, when the blood supply (via the coronary arteries) to part of the heart muscle becomes blocked. Although sudden death can occur due to an abnormal rhythm, usually the situation progresses more slowly, is accompanied by chest pain, and there is time to correct the blockage and stop the affected heart muscle from dying.
Fabrice was given prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to The London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working.
As is normal medical practice in cases like this, the hospital says Fabrice was anaesthetised in intensive care for at least 24 hours while his condition was closely monitored by the cardiac specialists.
Messages of support
There were special rounds of applause for Fabrice at matches on Sunday, and plenty of messages of support from other players. Wayne Rooney tweeted: "Good to hear Muamba is stable. Hope he gets better soon."
Bolton Wanderers' manager Owen Coyle said: "Fabrice's family have asked me to pass on their thanks for the many, many kind messages of support from not only Bolton fans but also fans from clubs across the country and abroad.
"All our thoughts and prayers are for Fabrice and his family at this time."

Mein Auto: Ford Mustang GT

Yeah, its kind of sketchy, and I am not that informed on German Engineering, but I am always up to learn new things. I have had one Audi, and sold it because I was not a fan of it being AWD. This was my response from him. He said the car did start, but sat for 5 months, but won't start now... The place he has it stored at, is a storage lot. The car looks exceptionally clean, but I would have to drive a little over 2 hours to see it, and I want to know more about this one situation before I waste my time and money in gas.
The car was running great (but still in
safe mode) until I tried to start it up after being stored for 5
months or so, now it cranks strong but won't start. BMW thinks that
the safe mode and the start issue is all related to a bad transmission
control module, so I have a good spare that I bought that needs to be
programmed at BMW with their machine. I was told that it would cost
75-100 to program the spare module. I bought the car for my daughter
and put all the money into getting ti right for her, but she ended up
going to UNL and doesn't need/want a car anymore because she lives on
campus. I don't have the time to figure it out or the space to store
the car anymore, so I'm selling it at considerably less than I have
into it.

For 600 years, hot artesian waters rich in minerals bubbled to the surface to form a lush oasis that served as a respite for weary travelers. As early as 1857, a settler recorded the discovery of our site as a place to rest and find water marked by two palm groves. In 1909, the US Army Camel Corps of Engineers surveyed the area and identified the location as 'two bunches of palms'.
The Resort itself has been in operation since the 1940's and was known as a discreet hideaway for Hollywood celebrities, notorious historic gangsters and those seeking healing from its unique mineral and lithium rich hot springs. TBP Bliss, LLC acquired the property in 2012 and an experienced hospitality and spa management team along with the Board of Managers dedicated themselves to enhance the Resort, improve operations and entitle the surrounding land through a two-phase development plan.
In 2013, significant capital investment facilitated the renovation of the restaurant, Garden House, Yoga Dome, 3 new model guest rooms along with landscape and infrastructure improvements and completing a master-plan for the site. Additionally, the Resort deepened its wellness programming and created a partnership with Pear Energy to build a 3.5-acre solar field (scheduled to be completed by March 2015) in order to generate the equivalent of 100% of its electrical power needs through renewable energy, making it the first resort of its kind in North America. In addition to the benefit of the solar power agreement reducing Two Bunch Palms' utility bills this sustainable position resonates with its targeted spa audience. Thereby, reinforcing its brand ethos about individual and planetary health.
In the summer of 2014, the resort underwent a massive room renovation that brought the property and its 70 rooms on 77 lush acres to the standards of a modern-day high-end wellness resort. By capitalizing on its legendary hot mineral springs and spa reputation and then expanding its wellness programs to include healthier dining and movement and fitness classes, such as Chi Gong, Tai Chi, yoga, Pilates, dance, Eastern medicine and weight training, and showcasing its renewable energy position, Two Bunch Palms has redefined itself as a true destination spa/wellness getaway and established itself as the thought leader in the wellness space.
