Acicular aurichalcite crystals lining 10 mm cavity. Collected from Bench 9, Machen Quarry, July 1993. Specimen I.E. Jones Collection. © National Museum of Wales.
Rosettes of aurichalcite from Craig Rhiwarth (Ochr-graig) Mine, Llangynog. Specimen I.E. Jones Collection (1333A), © National Museum of Wales.
Introduction: aurichalcite is a supergene mineral typically encountered in the oxidation zones of base-metal sulphide veins which include significant carbonate gangue. Associated minerals are typically hemimorphite, smithsonite and malachite.
Occurrence in Wales: aurichalcite occurs at scattered localities across Wales, many of these having been identified only within the last 20 years. Fine specimens are known from a limited number of localities; from many of the others it is only present in micromount quantities.
Key Localities:
- Castell Mine, Ponterwyd, Ceredigion: similar specimens to those from Henfwlch are well-known from this site (e.g. Jones & Moreton, 1977).
- Craig Rhiwarth Mine, Llangynog, Powys: this mine has produced the finest Welsh examples of aurichalcite with sky-blue aggregates to several millimetres covering areas of weathered carbonate to several square centimetres. National Museum of Wales specimens NMW 68.576.GR18 and 82.17G.M1 are important examples.
- Henfwlch Mine, Ceulanymaesmawr, Ceredigion: small but colourful specimens of aurichalcite on rotted ferroan dolomite carrying chalcopyrite have been collected in recent years.
- Llangynog Mine, Llangynog, Powys: smaller but still attractive specimens have been collected from the dumps above the quarry with crystal-lined pockets in weathered carbonate to 2 cm across.
- Llanymynech copper mines, Powys: there are several fine specimens of aurichalcite from these old mines in the National Museum of Wales Collection.
- Machen Quarry, Caerphilly, South Wales: hand specimens of well-crystallized acicular aurichalcite covering areas to several square centimetres have been collected in recent years from veins exposed in this working quarry. Plant & Jones (1995) provide a detailed description of this occurrence.

A hernia is a condition where an organ or tissue protrudes from its normal place in the body into another unintended space of the body. There are many kinds of hernias, which can present in diverse areas of the body.
The most well-known and common hernia types are the hiatal and inguinal. The former is a hernia of the diaphragm of the abdomen; the inguinal is a hernia in the groin area.
READ MORE: Bunion Surgery: Relief for Your Poor Aching Feet
The hiatal hernia develops when the stomach slips through the hole in the diaphragm that normally accommodates the esophageal opening. A hiatal hernia where the stomach and part of the esophagus protrude down this opening is called a sliding hiatal hernia. The hiatal hernia is common cause of the condition known as gastro-esophageal acid reflux disease (GERD) where stomach acids are forced up into the esophagus by the pressure exerted on the slipped stomach by the diaphragm.
Hiatal hernia surgery involves tightening the opening in the diaphragm; tying the stomach around the bottom of the esophagus to prevent future slippage and eliminate stomach acids and food backing up into the esophagus. Hiatal hernia surgery can be done by means of an open belly incision or via laparoscopic techniques. In the latter smaller incisions are made and the repair of the problem is guided by a video camera inserted into the body.
The inguinal hernia occurs due to improper closure of the inguinal canal in men, where the testicle descends to the scrotum during fetal development. The canal should close on its own; when it does not an inguinal hernia can occur. Often the hernia presents after the patient has strained abdominal wall muscles, and appears as a palpable bulge in the groin.
The danger from this type of hernia is that the intestine may protrude through the inguinal canal defect, strangling the organ. This results in a medical emergency, loss of blood flow can mean intestinal– and if uncorrected –patient death.
READ MORE: Cosmetic Surgery: Who Really Needs It?
Inguinal hernia surgery is not always performed under emergent conditions, although the medical trend with asymptomatic inguinal hernias is "watchful waiting" over surgical intervention. Often wearing a truss is recommended; when the inguinal hernia patient begins to develop symptoms surgery is then advised. Of course, in cases where the bowel is caught in the opening, the surgery becomes an emergency procedure.
Both hiatal and inguinal hernia repair surgery is done under general anesthesia where the patient is unconscious and without pain. Open hiatal hernia surgery usually involves a hospital stay; the laparoscopic version of the surgery may be done on an outpatient basis.
Barring complications the open incision hiatal hernia surgery recovery time is 4-6 weeks and laparoscopic hernia surgery recovery time is 2-3 weeks before return to a normal routine.
Hernias can occur virtually anywhere in the body, including the discs of the back which separate and cushion the vertebrae of the spine.
Lumbar discs can degenerate over time due to normal aging, injury or repeated back strain. A herniated disc occurs when the fluid inside the disc begins to leak out of the outer aspect of the disc. This causes pressure on the roots of the nerves that radiate out from the spine. A condition called sciatica can then develop as a direct result of the compromise; the symptoms of which are leg pain, numbness, tingling and weakness anywhere in the leg, down to the foot.
Herniated disc surgery (also known as bulging disc surgery or sciatic surgery) usually involves only the removal of a portion of the ruptured disc that is impinging on the nerve root to relieve the pressure on the compromised sciatic nerve.
Herniated disc surgery used to require a large incision and months of recovery time; thanks to new techniques in microsurgery this operation can now be done using small incisions which reduce healing time to 2 to 3 weeks post-surgery.
READ MORE: Blepharoplasty: Getting Rid of Tired-looking Eyes
Hernia surgery cost is variable, depending on which area of the body is affected and how invasive the procedure to correct the problem is. Geography and surgeon experience also factor into final cost. A relatively minor inguinal hernia correction will be cheaper if done laparoscopically in most areas. Spinal surgery of any type, due to massive numbers of nerve roots and nerves radiating from the spinal structure is a more delicate surgical proposition and will have a higher cost than other types of hernia surgeries, whether done via open incision or laparoscope.

Oracle accuses Autonomy chief of telling 'whopper'
Autonomy boss Mike Lynch has continued to deny trying to flog his company to Oracle before the recent controversial deal with HP - despite the database giant's blunt claims that he is telling "whoppers". Lynch was responding to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's previous remarks to the effect that Autonomy was shopped to Oracle before …
Why does Oracle care so much?
Those decks are hardly a smoking gun. The content looks like the bog standard corporate presentation that would be shown to any potential large customer. The disclaimer page is standard legalese that is almost certainly part of the presentation template, and even if it doesn't apply here the lawyers won't let you take it out.
The real question here is, why does Oracle care so much?
in case your question is not rhetorical
Oracle want to scupper the deal with HP either because they just want to piss on HP's chips (Itanium or otherwise, ho-ho) or because they want to scare HP off so Oracle can make a new bid at a price nearer to what they think Autonomy is worth - Larry likes a bargain after all.
Rubbish the credibility of the CEO, wrek the sale - hopefully the share price will drop. Buy the company for a lower price, sack the CEO, celebrate victory.
Is this it?
Is this what you do when there's nothing new to sell, last decade's chips to flog, and ever increasing licensing and maintenance fees to push on your user base ?
I guess you could install all your guff onto some commodity linux box and push it as some kind of self managing appliance to the unsuspecting...
PowerPoint slide sales pitch? He could have least used Oracle Open Office (RIP) - Know your audience!
I've never understood what Autonomy actually does. Their web site is a touch opaque. The first presentation of theirs that Oracle made to them seems to have the same characteristic. Canb anybody enlighten me as as to how they add value to companies?
if you really want to know http://www.autonomy.com/content/Autonomy/FAQ/index.en.html gives the overview. Personally I'm glad I no longer have to deal with their employees - never come across such a bunch of arrogant people.
Lynch ...
is a Bayesian stats whiz and I think Autonomy started out selling enterprise software to analyse data to spot "interesting stuff" trending in the data. I think there is a security/espionage angle to it as well which may explain the opaque corporate persona. I seem to remember some link with the DoHS/USGov as well but I may be imagining that.
The most recent interview I heard with Lynch (before all the takeover stuff) was a radio 4 business thing ("the Bottom Line" presented, appropriately enough, by Evan Davis) and he was talking about Autonomy's mobile app software which was to do with image/location analysis and simulation - certainly more consumer-friendly than the secret squirrel stuff.
@John Rose
Haha, my thoughts exactly - I've always said it, but I work in the IT industry, and I'm confused as to how a company the size of Autonomy (and a supposed darling of the UK software industry), can have managed to pass me by. The first time I ever even saw their logo was on an F1 car.
Qatalyst, eh?
I hope they use authentic arabic pronounciation. Khkhhhkhkhk.
"company sale banker Frank Quattrone of Qatalyst Partners"
I'd have written that backgrounding sentence as "... of Credit Suisse's IPO-fraud fame", but then I guess that's why TheRegister are the professionals.
date modified
hmm- seems someone made a few edits to the slides at 05:11 this morning.
The disclaimer on the last slide also says..
"These materials have not been prepared with a view toward public disclosure under state or federal securities laws or otherwise, are intended for the benefit and use of the Company, and may not be reproduced, disseminated, quoted, summarized or referred to, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Qatalyst."
Obviously Oracle don't think they have to worry about such things as confidential disclosure etc...
Hoenstly the pettiness of Oracle on anything even slightly relating to HP is quite unbeleivable - you have to think a lot of this comes from Hurd
"I've never understood what Autonomy actually does. "
Ditto, and I've been watching occasionally for a *very* long time (in IT/dotcon terms).
Meanwhile, what exactly is the state of HP's bid for Autonomy?
Last I heard, despite the HP offer being far above Autonomy's market value at the time, the HP bid had reached its closing date without enough acceptances.
Or something like that.
"The real question here is, why does Oracle care so much?"
Mark Hurd's name mean anything to you?
"Is Mr Kettle in the house?"
"Mr Kettle? Anyone? I have a call from Mr Pot on hold, something about 'Waaah, waaah, waaah'?"
Let He Who Would Not Set The Record Straight Cast The First Stone
Every single one of the "Anonymous Coward" posts here are quite possibly from the same individual. One might ask why that individual "cares so much" too. Obviously the news struck at least one individual's chord.
The reality is that anyone who becomes aware of a lie that involves their name or the name of anyone close to them would very likely jump at any opportunity to set the record straight. Good or bad, it's the way most human beings behave. One can only imagine how the average person would behave if the lie was made in a public forum before an untold number of listeners.
Whatever Oracle's motivation, the company set the record straight. Clearly someone at Oracle felt Lynch would have no case for criminal libel--in short that their information and account of events is accurate and true.
The "real" question is not "why does Oracle care so much?" any more than it is "why would you care so much if the same was done to you?" The only question here is how will customers and prospects react to information that, at first glance, paints a picture of a chief executive that has absolutely no issue with lying to the masses in a public forum?
"Every single one of the "Anonymous Coward" posts here are quite possibly from the same individual."
So what? I am the AC with two posts (one I initially forgot) at 13:23. I am not anyone else, and you do not need to know or care who I am, but you do need to address the message and not the messenger.
I'm informed by Google News that the offer period has been extended to October 3rd.
Meanwhile, is it just me, or does Lynch have trouble with the concept of "understanding" ? Lynch said ""You have a whole new model, about the stuff being managed in place and understood where it is," ".
Autonomy doesn't *understand* unstructured text. It might be able to identify what a piece of text is about, but it cannot meaningfully understand it.
And Lynch clearly has a lot more faith in the capability of HP's enterprise sales folks than most of HP's enterprise customers do. Still, he stands to make a few bob if all goes well.
Wanna say hmmm
I could care less, but it is not worth the effort.
So much for the Oracle HP feud being over
I thought the firing of Leo would have left some air out of that balloon

2010 Ford Ranger Supercab 4.0L
Great little truck
Nothing - really! Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this vehicle so far.
General Comments:
It has been a great vehicle. Gas mileage is poor for the size of the truck, but the 4.0L engine really hauls! No trouble moving into heavy traffic.
The 2 wheel drive is a bit challenging on icy roads in Canada, but the traction control, anti skid and stability control really help.
The cab is small and the rear seat is a joke. Only a small child or a very small adult could sit in the jump seats. There is not a lot of headroom, but leg room with the seat extended is good.
Sound system is awesome.
Handling is good. The suspension is very stiff, and will washboard over rough roads, but I would rather it be stiff than soft.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Although the newly proposed addition of Monroe Township, which lies within the corporation limits of Monroe, to the Adams Public Library System (APLS) isn't a matter for the Monroe Town Council to act on, it quickly became an issue during Thursday's meeting after council president, and town resident Al Lehman read a lengthy and somewhat inflammatory letter expressing his feelings on the matter.
Artist Gary Hovey of New Knoxville, Ohio, has spent the past 25 years sculpting, something he loves to do. What makes Hovey's sculptures unique is the medium used to create his masterpieces: stainless steel flatware. Forks, spoons, knives, you name it, and he's probably used it.
Hovey said about 35 years ago he and his wife visited an art show where one sculptor in particular caught his eye. "He was welding car bumpers together and making beautiful sculptures out of them," said Hovey

The Town of Oyster Bay will host two Saturday night prime time high school ice hockey contests this season as part of its High School Hockey Night in Oyster Bay series held at the Town of Oyster Bay's Ice Skating Center on Stewart Avenue in Bethpage, according to Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto.
Starting off the series will be the Massapequa Chiefs taking on the Syosset Braves on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. The second contest, featuring the Cold Spring Harbor Seahawks and the Bethpage Golden Eagles, is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m.
"These events, which are free to all Town residents, feature high school teams that are among the finest in Nassau County," Venditto said. "The players really look forward to competing at the Town of Oyster Bay's state of the art rink and we are always pleased to have them here."
Supervisor Venditto noted that Saturday night is a convenient time slot for people to attend the high school games.
"Parents and friends of the players, as well as high school ice hockey fans, don't always get to see these outstanding games because of other commitments during the week," the supervisor said. "That's in large part, why High School Hockey Night in Oyster Bay is so special."
Ice hockey on Long Island is continuing to grow in popularity, producing accomplished players who have gone on to compete at very high levels. The two Saturday night games will showcase some of the best talent in the area.
"Here's your opportunity to catch the rising stars," Venditto said. "The entire family will be able to enjoy the top tier action on the ice."
Steve Rupp, President of the Nassau County High School Hockey League, said High School Hockey Night in Oyster Bay will have a special atmosphere.
"I am pleased to help facilitate these prime time games, which will surely create lasting memories for the players," Rupp said. "I know the teams will be excited about playing before an enthusiastic crowd."
Admission for these contests is free, but residents are encouraged to help others by donating two canned goods, which will be collected at the event by Island Harvest as part of 'Hockey Fights Hunger.' Venditto said the Town of Oyster Bay is honored to host this top echelon level high school hockey contest at the Town's indoor ice skating center, which is considered by many to be among the finest facilities of its kind in the Nation.
"I expect many residents will appreciate seeing these outstanding high school teams compete," Venditto said.
Venditto added the high school games will also serve as a fine example for the Town's young hockey players, who can one day aspire to further their education through athletics.
"The game will feature terrific role models for our young hockey players and I encourage everyone to come out to support the competing teams," he said. "It will be two great evenings of hockey and we're pleased to have them right here in the Town of Oyster Bay."

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
After a monthlong courtship, Kardashian – wearing a Vera Wang gown – exchanges vows with Odom in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills. "Khloé and Lamar's wedding was one of the most magical nights of my life," Kourtney says of the lavish affair, which airs on E! as a special episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "Married life is incredible and I've never been so happy," Khloé gushes.
Cashing in on their chemistry, the newlyweds take center stage in their own Kardashian spin-off, Khloé and Lamar. "It's been an option since we got married," Khloé says. "But we wanted to enjoy our first year in private." The show also features her little brother Rob. "With the three of us living together, it's honestly like a sitcom," says Khloé. "Trust me, there will be a lot of laughs."
Shortly after cheating rumors surface, Kardashian Odom and Odom face a new crisis after sources claim the basketball star's drug abuse is causing a rift in the couple's nearly four-year marriage. "It's a really hard time for Khloé," the source says. "She's kept this secret for almost two years trying to save Lamar and their marriage."
Following months of trying to make it work, Kardashian files for divorce from Odom, who was arrested for DUI and briefly went to rehab earlier in the year. "As many times as I have protected Lamar or dodged a bullet for him, lately everything is getting more than what I can protect or control," she says on a November episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Last year on this 1st day of the year, I made some predictions because people asked for some.
Let's see how I did. I'll grade myself. 18 is a perfect score
- The TLM will continue to get traction as aging-hippies leave the scene and younger priests with less baggage take charge. [1 - yah... that's going on. Easy one.]
- The three-year post Summorum Pontificum report will cause liberal enemies of the Pope to engage in a vicious campaign of disinformation. [1 - another easy one.]
- The GOP will have big gains at the midterm elections in both House and Senate, but not quite take over both. [.5 - I got the gains part right.]
- Israel will attack Iran. [.5 - There was the cyber-attack that seemed to work.]
- WDTPRS will develop a premium content page. [0 - Didn't get to that. But I did change the template.]
- The Chinese economy will start to crumble. [0 - Not yet.]
- Archbishop Wuerl will not be made a Cardinal. [0 - Pretty much wrong there.]
- We will see another Supreme Court vacancy and dreadful nomination. [1 - Yep. Alas.]
- The U.S. dollar will collapse. [0 - It didn't collape yet.]
- There will be a major cyber attack on a financial center. [0 - I think.]
- The Magic Circle in England will crack further with a good appointment to Southwark. [.5 - Not sure what to say about that. I will give myself something.]
- Before the mid-term elections another attempt at subversion of Catholics will come from the White House. [1 - With the special help of Sr. Carol Keehan.]
- Benedict of Rome and Kirill of Moscow will meet or announce they will meet somewhere. [0 - Nope.]
- Zapatero will lose his office in Spain. [0 - Nope.]
- The U.S. will continue to lose the war in Afghanistan. [.5 - Dunno about that.]
- Terrorist attacks on U.S. targets will rise sharply as U.S. resolve concerning a war on terror apparently slackens. [.5 - Sharply? Not quite. But it did rise.]
- Unemployment will rise globally as economies shrink and people will become more interested in the Faith. [1 - That was pretty safe.]
- The Nobel Prize for Peace will be given to Archbishop Rowan Williams. [0 - Liu Xiaobo is not Rowan Williams.]

Microsoft plans to issue non-update update for Win 7
Microsoft will spit out dummy updates for Windows 7 beta testers next week that will probe the forthcoming operating system's updating abilities. The software firm said no new features or bug fixes would be added via the updates that will be available from 24 February as manual downloads. Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc said on the …
one small issue
"the updates wouldn't actually update anything. Instead they would "simply replace system files with the same version of the file currently on the system,""
if that is the case, then it's not a very good test of your updating systme, as it's impossible to tell if it actually worked. it doesn't matter if windows update reports it has successfully replaced file a, with file a. if you have no way of verifying that it has actually happened.
Ta for the update on the update that updates but doesn't update.
And why does the get-me-coat icon look like a pick-pocket at work?
All right - I'm going.
@ Andrew
"And why does the get-me-coat icon look like a pick-pocket at work?"
I always thought it looked like the invisible man receiving hand relief.
"'These updates allow us to test and verify our ability to deliver and manage the updating of Windows 7. We typically verify servicing scenarios during a beta,' he said."
I certainly hope he either misspoke or used "us" and "our" in the abstract sense. As I read that quote, I read and interpreted it as "These updates allow Microsoft to test and verify Microsoft's ability to deliver and manage the updating of Windows 7." I'll be damned if I ever buy a software product (or recommend it to anyone else) where the author manages the updating of it. If it's a software product that I purchased and installed on MY system, then I will be the one to manage the updating of it.
That man..
He belongs to the Microsoft Update Division, not NT-Dev.
The files will just be bumped up one version number, something like +0.0.1, but the code inside will be the same (with a different compile date) Its really just a test of how Windows Update will work with the new OS, this has been done with every OS since Win 98, so really nothing to here folks, move along...
Crash Crash
I did an actual up date today an Nvidia Driver and got my first blue screen of death
Good for Microsoft, bad for users?
Does this mean that they intend to push out a release ASAP which they can then 'fix' later..? Seems that they can do as little as possible to get it into the marketplace, then bolt on stuff later like DRM. If you can fix poor code the day after you release it, why bother writing good code in the first place?

Some of the event's featured speakers include exhibition shooter Tom Knapp of CZ USA, CZ USA sponsored shooter Dave Miller, and Xtreme Sport Shooting world record holder and television host Patrick Flanigan. In order to qualify, teams need a minimum of three athletes and one coach from each team, but there is no limit and they can bring as many teammates and coaches as they would like.
"Youth outdoor participation and education has been part of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever since the very beginning, and with the strong support of Larry and Brenda Potterfield, we have been able to offer teams an outstanding opportunity to build and grow within their community," says John Linquist, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever shooting sports national coordinator. "The youth of today are the local volunteers tomorrow, as well as future hunters and conservationist, and this is a great opportunity for them to experience the community of shooting teams from around the country."
National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic is the country's largest event for upland hunters, sport dog owners and wildlife habitat conservationists, combining a national outdoor tradeshow, wildlife habitat seminar series, and family event complete with puppies, tractors, shotguns and art.

The SST Fund, through its website, gives alumni and other interested parties at universities, colleges and high schools the ability to financially support a school's competitive shooting program or financially assist in the start-up of a scholastic shooting program.

The SST Fund is owned and controlled by the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc., a 501©(3) not-for-profit, charitable organization established by Larry and Brenda Potterfield in 2007. The Potterfields began the Foundation as a result of their passion and interest in education for shooting, hunting, firearms safety and outdoor skills.
"We want to extend a special thanks to Larry and Brenda Potterfield of MidwayUSA," said Linquist, "Without their support and belief in Pheasants Forever's youth education mission, none of this would be possible. Their generosity will allow another generation of youth to carry the torch and protect our outdoor heritage."

Once registration is received, more event details including your free passes, session times & a registration confirmation will be returned to your primary contact listed above.

KNOXVILLE — With all but five of his players forced to skip last weekend's AAU state basketball tournament semifinal in Chattanooga due to ACT testing conflicts, Tennessee Fury 17-under girls' coach Tyler Summitt knew he was in for a struggle.
Then again, as Tennessee Lady Vols coaching legend Pat Summitt has long taught her only child, "Academics comes first," so there would be no complaining about his empty bench.
But then one of the final five compounded Tyler's plight by showing up late for warm-ups, definitely a Summitt family no-no. Or as Tyler said, "We have a policy that if you're late you don't start. You might not even play."
Still, this was a state semifinal. For most coaches, risking victory for values would be too big a gamble.
But young Summitt isn't most coaches. He thought of his mother, of the unbending principles she's practiced the past 38 years in winning eight national championships and 1,098 games while graduating all 161 players who have completed their eligibility under her watch.
So what would Mom do?
"She's always said, 'Discipline first,'" he said with a grin. "She says you start with high standards and keep them. So I started four instead of five."
Just in case you're wondering why President Barack Obama awarded Tyler's mom the Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honor — on Thursday, there's reason No. 1. No one on the planet has higher standards than Tyler's 59-year-old mother.
"Coach Summitt is an inspiration — both as the all-time winningest NCAA coach, and as someone who is willing to speak so openly and courageously about her battle with Alzheimer's," Obama said in referring to the disease Summitt has publicly battled since last August.
"Pat's gift has always been her ability to push those around her to new heights. ... Her unique approach has resulted in both unparalleled success on the court and unrivaled loyalty from those who know her and those whose lives she has touched."
A lot of those she's touched showed up at Thursday's news conference to watch UT athletic director Dave Hart officially pass Summitt's coaching whistle to longtime assistant Holly Warlick, a former UT All-American.
In perhaps the most touching moment of a sweetly sentimental afternoon, Summitt hung her coaching whistle around Warlick's neck before the two shared a long embrace.
"Pat just gave me her blessing," said Warlick, whose No. 22 jersey was the first ever hung from the Thompson-Boling rafters for either a men's or women's player. "Now I have to make sure I use this whistle to the best of my abilities."
At least one departing senior who watched Warlick attempt to coach the Lady Vols unofficially this past season believes Warlick's abilities are championship quality.
"There's going to be a lot more clarity," Glory Johnson said. "Won't have to listen to three or four different coaches. There will be a lot less confusion. It's Holly's team now. There's just going to be one voice in the huddle."
But that's best left for November, when the Lady Vols will take the court for the first time in 39 years without Summitt to guide them.
For at least one last time, UT Lady Vols basketball, if not UT athletics in general, gathered together to honor its Hall of Fame coach and citizen.
Said Big Orange football coach Derek Dooley: "The word 'bittersweet,' I'm sure, is across all of athletics today because she transcends. ... Her impact will last forever — not just on the people she coached, but all the people in athletics as a whole."
In other words, you could say that the late Dick Clark was the Pat Summitt of television hosts and everyone would immediately understand.
There was this from Johnson, recalling an early practice her freshman year.
"Alicia [Manning] just wouldn't wait for a screen," the Knoxville native recalled. "Finally, Pat couldn't take it anymore. She stopped everything and said, 'Alicia, if I sent you to the grocery for orange juice, I'm convinced you'd come back with milk.' We didn't know what to do. Then Pat laughed and we all laughed."
UT softball coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly will never forget the day they were hired away from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
"We were in Hawaii," Karen recalled, "and about an hour after the offer came, Pat called to welcome us to UT and tell us to call her any time we needed help with anything. I remember calling her at 12:30 one morning to ask for advice about a player we were having issues with, and she couldn't have been more helpful."
Said Ralph: "I've coached in two Olympics, and nothing in my professional life has been as big as knowing her."
Added Karen: "He still stutters in her presence."
Tyler Summitt didn't stutter in starting just four players last weekend. He didn't lose, either, the Fury eventually winning the tournament. No wonder Marquette hired him as a full-time assistant's position on the Golden Eagles women's team this week.
"Her passion has become my passion," he said.
Both her passion and her principles, it would seem.
Said Hart with a smile as he addressed the next generation of Summitt genius: "Now all you have to do is post 1,099 wins and you'll blow past your mother."
Mark Wiedmer started work at the Chattanooga News-Free Press on Valentine's Day of 1983. At the time, he had to get an advance from his boss to buy a Valentine gift for his wife. Mark was hired as a graphic artist but quickly moved to sports, where he oversaw prep football for a time, won the "Pick' em" box in 1985 and took over the UTC basketball beat the following year. By 1990, he was ...

Ceriello Fine Italian Foods
|529 E. Belvedere Ave.
Baltimore, MD 21212
More on Ceriello Fine Italian Foods.
Ceriello, a fancy Long Island, N.Y.-based Italian market and deli, has come to Belvedere Square, and its brought with it large, satisfying sandwiches that are easy on the palate if a bit rough on the wallet. Ceriello is a bit overwhelmingthe place is crammed with food: Meats, cheeses, olives, and oils cover practically every surface. It offers a wide range of premade pasta dishes, soups, and sides, as well as made-to-order salad for $4.99 per pound that goes far beyond the usual iceberg and withered carrot slices norm. We selected from an array of $6.49 pannini. The Abbruzzosalami, mortadella, provolone, and roasted pepperswas good but a bit light on the meat, the roasted peppers overwhelming each bite, and we regret not getting it grilled. The $8.99 King Cold Cut wasnt short on meat, and while the price felt a bit steep at first, it was really two meals worth of food. The best thing about Ceriellos sandwiches is the breadcrunchy and firm, but yielding Italian bread on which we would happily eat just about anything. Ceriello wont unseat Trinacria as our favorite Italian deli, but the bread and the almost intimidating selection of other offerings won our esteem.
