My secret swap partner for this round was Jill, who listed Hope Valley as one of her favorite fabric lines, and who specifically requested "no white fabric" as she has young sons and is sure the pillow will be "well loved". Any parent of young children knows what that means!
I pulled the above selection of Hope Valley from my stash and paired it with one of my favorite solids, Moda Cross Weave in a charcoal grey.
I backed it with an envelope closure in a favorite Anna Maria Horner print, which isn't an exact match to the fabrics on the front, but I like the way it coordinates and it's a bit unexpected (which is something I like when backing anything!)
I sent the pillow form along with the cover, since it was a bit of an unusual shape and I didn't want Jill to have to hunt for an insert. I purposely removed about 1/2 of the filling because I like my pillows to be soft and mushy instead of really fat & firm. I was really happy with how this pillow turned out, and even happier to know that it's already being well loved in Jill's home! (See evidence here : )
When it came time to receive the pillow made for me by my secret partner, I was absolutely THRILLED to see that the box was from a return address in Portland. You see, I was (not so) secretly coveting a pillow that had popped up in the Flickr group that had a back just as amazing as its front. And it was screaming my style, so I really really hoped it was coming to live with me.
And it did!
The pillow was made by the amazing Caroline of Trillium Design (who, funny enough, was who I sent these pillows to in round 4 of the swap!) The raindrop pattern on the front of the pillow is simple yet unique, with negative spaced used so elegantly for a modern effect. I immediately spied some of my favorite prints in there from Cloud 9 Fabrics, AMH, Heather Ross, and (eeep!) some foxes from Monaluna's Anika line.
Speaking of foxes, remember I mentioned the back? Well, Caroline included a little surprise on the back of the pillow in the form of a fox, made from Sonja's Woodland paper-piecing pattern. Isn't it just the best?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Pretty packages with horrific consequences -- that's what the parents of a Westside woman are calling a bottle of candle gel that severely burned their daughter last month.
About 39,000 bottles of Marshall Gardens PatioGlo Bio-Fuel Gel were recalled in October 2011, but Channel 4 discovered there are still bottles on store shelves in Jacksonville.
Curry Pajcic, attorney for 33-year-old Mandy Plato, says the candle gel is like napalm in a bottle that left his client with second- and third-degree burns over 40 percent of her body.
"It's go no business out there," Bill Plato, Mandy's father, said.
He said it was a like a bomb exploded. After a quick flash, his daughter's skin was burning from her head to her toes.
"I think they should take this stuff off the market immediately. It's like a bomb," Bill Plato said.
Mandy suffered burns over 40 percent of her body. She has undergone six surgeries and spent more than a month in the intensive care unit at Shands Hospital in Gainesville after being slathered with the scorching jelly-like substance.
"She opened the cap and poured the fuel gel into the empty pot," Pajcic said. "And at that time, it was like a napalm bomb went off. The vapors flashed back into the bottle, exploded and spewed the fiery napalm-like gel all over her daughter."
Charred remnants are what's left of Mandy's shirt, shorts, shoes and bra from that day. The flammable gel sprayed so far that it even incinerated her patio furniture.
Pajcic said Mandy bought the candle gel from Sundrez at The Jacksonville Landing. A recall was put in place in October 2011 both by the manufacturer and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. However, Channel 4's Adrienne Moore purchased a bottle of the gel Friday at the same store for $13.
"I think she remembers more than I'd like her to, even though the doctors tell us she won't remember this," said Maureen Plato, Mandy's mother.
With a lawsuit now filed against the manufacturer and the retailer, Plato's attorney has this warning for consumers.
"You may have a napalm bomb under your Christmas tree. Get rid of it. We don't want this to ever happen to someone again," Pajcic said.
Marshall Group President David Schemenauer released this statement to Channel 4:
"Courtesy of your help, we have been made aware that one retailer did still have old stock that was not returned as part of the recall. The retailer has been notified and all stock was immediately pulled from the shelves. In addition, we have confirmed with the three other retailers who carried our product in the N. Florida/Jacksonville area that no other Patio Glo bio ethanol fire gel is or has been on sale for an extended period."
"Regardless of whether we find out if it is our product or not, our hearts and prayers go out to anyone hurt in any way during this holiday season."
As for Mandy Plato, it's still unclear when she'll be released from the hospital.

We're not sure what – other than a supposed desire to make "chubby little freckle-faced kids" – inspired Jim Carrey's recent unsettling web video mash note to the much-younger Emma Stone.
While Carrey's subsequent tweets suggest the short was intended as a joke, we're still having trouble finding much humor in the 49-year-old actor's almost stalker-like profession of love and lust for an actress 27 years his junior, even if he poked fun at his advancing age in the process ("I have lines on my face, sometimes a little gray in my beard, and it takes me a lot longer to pee than it used to").
Maybe we're particularly turned off by the film comedian's online come-on amid the deeply disturbing ongoing spectacle featuring a 51-year-old character actor whose career-revival plan apparently included marrying a 16-year-old wannabe singer in May.
We prefer not to aid their publicity grab by repeating the names of the couple, who claim they're being courted for a Reality TV show. If that's true, shame on anyone who would give the duo a program: a "Lolita"-style reality show would mark a new low point, even for an often down-and-dirty genre.
Whether it's Carrey's oddly comic frothing over Stone or the media chronicling the most age-inappropriate public mismatch since Jerry Lee Lewis wed his 13-year-old cousin, there's nothing entertaining about creepy older guys (sorry, Mr. Nabokov).
Perhaps Hugh Hefner shoulders some of the blame, even if it's hard to make anything stick to his velvet smoking jacket. The 85-year-old Playboy founder's Reality TV show, "The Girls Next Door," about his harem of young beauties, comes across as a sitcom where just about everyone is in on the joke (although Hefner professed to be genuinely surprised when his six-decades-younger fiancée jilted him in June).
Meanwhile, the young bride of the middle-aged actor reportedly is set to turn 17 next week – and hopes to go to Disneyland, which might cut into her prodigious output of lewd tweets.
The girl in question looks older than her years, leading us to hope she's actually at least in her 20s (though E! reports that her birth certificate confirms her tender age), and that the marriage some kind of elaborate performance-art joke.
Either way, we're not laughing.

We also got some great news last week. We will be staying in Alabama for at least two more years after Tony graduates from ACSC in the Spring! He was offered a staff judge advocate job here at Maxwell...a great opportunity for him. I'm thrilled. We waited to tell the kids that we would be staying until everything was finalized. We thought they'd be excited. Instead, we were met with silence. And then Sam said, "What does that mean, exactly?" That's what you get when you have a 5th grader who has attended 5 schools. Geesh.

Sounds like you get to put down some roots there! It sounds like a good opportunity! If you're happy, so are we!

Hope you have a great holiday!

Love your Switzerland idea! We are an avid LSU fan and our middle son (age 5) decided this year that HE likes LSU AND Alabama (b/c of a video game). Needless to say, he was upset when Alabama lost to LSU and he is happy we might have a rematch with them in a few weeks.
Have fun watching the iron bowl...I'd pick Alabama ;)

Ron Artest's greatest regret: 'bailing out on that Pacer team'
"The biggest regret of my life, really, is bailing out on that Pacer team," Artest said. "I mean, outside not going to church every single Sunday, bailing out on that Pacer team is my biggest regret. Every time I see Jermaine, every time I see Steve [Jackson] and Jamaal [Tinsley] … I get a little bit of a feeling when I see Bird, because he was such a great player and I respect him so much. So I get that feeling when I see Bird. I feel like a coward. I feel like I don't even belong in their presence, really."
"When I saw Jermaine [this season], I felt like I didn't even belong in the same room as him," Artest said. "I felt like a coward. I don't like feeling like a coward, and I feel like a coward. That's the biggest regret of my life. Steve Jackson, Jermaine, Jamaal, even Jeff [Foster] — a blue-collar guy like him, put his life on the line for us on the court, and I totally disrespected him. And of course Reggie. I was in a position to win a championship, Reggie was in position, and I bailed out on Reggie. I feel like a coward. A big-time coward. It's hard for me to even speak to them, hard for me to see them."
HoopsVibe's Quick Call: Love him or hate him, Ron Artest is honest and his heart seems to be in the right place.
After all, few athletes in the cut throat, macho world of pro sports would publicly admit to such feelings, especially about an incident that took place years ago with the Indiana Pacers.
Still, it's great Artest understands the impact his actions have on others. And, in some strange way, it's hard not to cheer for him -regardless of what you think about the Los Angeles Lakers.

Forster Right now, I'm at work on my presentation for this year's Midwest Regional Symposium for ISES Indiana on Oct. 10--if you're in the neighborhood, I hope you can make it. I'm not a great speaker—and every time I hear a great speaker, I am more convinced of this—but I'm tremendously grateful for what preparing a speech does for me. Preparing a speech makes you reconsider what you think is true. It makes you question your assumptions and demands that you back up your opinions. After all, it's one thing to congratulate yourself on your brilliant thinking when you're talking to yourself in the shower. It's something else entirely to get up on front of an audience of industry professionals and do it. Clear writing is clear thinking, and clear speaking is the same. And when in doubt, take this prescription from Dr. Samuel Johnson: "Read over your compositions, and wherever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out."

We recently had a chance to talk with Super Star (his legal name) of the ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR PROJECT (RSSS). He gave us some advice about becoming a rock star, but he also had some great information about shattering the myths around drugs and drug abuse. Check out part 2 of his interview.
Why is it important to shatter myths about drugs and drug abuse?
Knowing the facts about drugs is essential because drug abuse can kill you or the people you care about. And you don't need to be addicted a long time for that to happen. Taking a pill, binging on alcohol, or ingesting cocaine just once can bring on horrible consequences, including death.
NIDA's "Shatter the Myths" booklet states that nearly "1 in 11 people who use (marijuana) become addicted." I was one of those people. When I was a teenager, I never thought smoking marijuana would lead me to crack cocaine. At the time, I thought, "It's just weed—no big deal." But after a while, smoking marijuana wasn't enough for me, so I sought other drugs to chase the high feeling. I might have made different choices if I had known more about drugs and how they affect you.
We at ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR PROJECT (RSSS) want to share the facts about substance use because there is so much misinformation out there. We believe that if people are informed, they can make better choices for themselves. The ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR PROJECT is excited to support and promote National Drug Facts Week this year. If National Drug Facts Week was around when I was in high school, I might have asked, "Can you help me?"
How has your life changed since you stopped using drugs?
I've discovered my purpose in life after surviving an almost 15-year battle with the disease of addiction. Today, I'm a recording artist. My twin brother, Rock Star (also his real legal name), and I recorded Serenity [link removed], a first-of-its-kind CD focused solely on combating addiction. A Grammy-winning producer worked on the CD, along with many famous musicians who came together to help others through their own addiction struggles. Guests on our CD include current and former members of the bands Kiss, Heart, The Goo Goo Dolls, Dokken, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and many more.
What are RSSS's Skype sessions?
The Skype sessions give the chance to participate and ask questions in a small group. I share part of my story as well as information from NIDA's "Shatter the Myths" booklet with facts about drugs and drug abuse.
My main messages are:
1. Success is achieved by making responsible choices. Waking up every day and doing the right thing will always get you to the right place.
2. Everyone should believe in themselves, no matter what others think.
3. Sobriety is COOL!!
What advice can you give someone who wants to experiment with drugs?
I'd tell them to ask themselves if not ever having the chance to go home again is worth the risk. Is waking up in a jail cell worth the few minutes of escaping reality?
I would tell them to reach out to an adult or someone they trust and tell them about how they're feeling. Ask for help, because not asking for help or support can lead to a life of misery or no life at all.
Always love, always encourage, and never let despair get in the way!
-Super Star
a great message - to be continued in raw detail in the "Serenity" book, by Super Star - a must-read for all ages and all stages of recovery or any other of life's journeys.
I am only mad I didn't think of this!
coffe is more addicting then weed fact
Probably the most generally used painkiller in America is acetaminophen (brand Tylenol). This really is readily available over-the-counter. Acetaminophen can also be in sleep helps (for example, Tylenol-PM), as well as in strong prescription narcotic pain relievers for example Vicodin and Percocet. Recent reports have discovered that acetaminophen may be the leading reason for liver damage and most likely accounts for 1600 cases of acute liver failure that occur every year. The medication is regarded as safe in the suggested dose but since it is in a wide variety of types of medication, people frequently finish up taking double as well as triple doses if they're using different pain relievers or sleep helps. An Food and drug administration advisory panel advised the Food and drug administration to prohibit Percocet and Vicodin along with other prescription medications which contain acetaminophen. Because of how much money produced by pharmaceutical companies through the sales of narcotic medicines, and also the realization they spend about $150 million each year lobbying our government authorities, it will likely be a very long time before any real changes occur in regards to the true benefits of cannabis and it's different strains [link removed, per guidelines].
drugs are bad. fact.
Not knowing the Facts is Bad. Fact.
Fact. Drugs Are Evil!
People say drugs are "COOL", but I Think Drugs Are "LAME!" Fact.

Modern Apizza is well known to pizza fanatics. The
institution goes head-to-head with the two "big guns" in town: Pepe's and Sally's, and often comes out ahead. Its owner, Bill Pustari, recently opened a pizza concession stand in New Haven 's Safeco Field, dropped the "Modern" and just called it Apizza. Last week I slipped in to try it. Seattle
The verdict? Pretty terrible. Still, it's early (they just opened a few weeks ago), so I've got my fingers crossed that Pustari will turn it around (please, please turn it around).

Technical Battery Discussion
Technical Battery Discussion
As for weight, you have to consider that there is more in the Tesla battery than just the Panasonic NCR18659 in a pile. At the very least, there is a system for pumping coolant through the assembly, and the assembly itself probably weighs a substantial amount. In other words, a new battery pack made with new batteries will probably weigh more, but they could easily change more than just the Panasonic part when revising the pack.
You have wrong battery. The one used in Roadster is 2.1Ah battery, not 2.9. The one used in Model S is probably 3.1Ah battery.
Also that 4Ah battery weights only 46g not 54g. That is unless you have some better and newer information than I do. Those that go to Tesla are also modified somehow, which probably does something to the weight, not sure what though.
The roadster batteries are 2200mah,3.7V and 44g.
Model S 300 mile pack batteries are supposedly the 3100mah, 3.6v and weigh 44.5g.
we will all be able to get new batteries that either weigh a lot less for the same range or have considerably more range for the wieght when the time comes for replacement.
I'd say it's a safe bet that the batteries will be imporved with respec to power/weight ratios, but far more important will be improved costs.Frankly, right now, with 300 miles of range, and a 45 minute recharge, they are good enough to be fully competitive with gas powered jobs.
The Roadster Innovations / Battery page has a typographical error. It says that a brick contains sixty-nine cells, a sheet contains ninety-nine bricks, and a pack contains 11 sheets. That would be 75,141 cells in all, but we know it's only 6,831. Based upon the opening message of this thread, I'm assuming that the "Ninety-nine bricks" should read "Nine bricks" - but maybe they mean that the 99 bricks in series make 11 sheets. It's basically a little confusing the way it's worded.
45 minute recharge? Even with the 90A charger it takes about 3 hours.
The 45 min recharge is referring to some kind of level 3 charging (such as DC fast charging), not the level 2 charging the Roadster can use. At the 70A level 2 charging level of the Roadster, the 300 mile pack would probably take around 5 hours to fully recharge.
the way you calculate the energy available gives the correct number but its not representing the correct electrochemical event of discharge.
even though you have 6831 cells, only the capacity (Q) of 69 of them (those arranged in parallel) is used for discharge at the nominal voltage of 375V (given by the arrangement in series of the remainder 99). E = Q x V so E = (69 x 2.2)A x 375V = 56.9 kWh. the capacity coming from the cells arranged in series is only there for "balancing". If they were "empty" then the capacity of the 69 arranged in parallel would have to be averaged over the entire number of cells (6831).
as you can see an increase in capacity is most wanted as it allows for both an increase in energy (driving range) and power (acceleration, etc) EVEN if the individual cell operates at a much lower voltage. For example, if you had double the capacity in a single cell you would only need 35 of them in parallel for the same energy (driving range) and 195 in series which would now give a much higher nominal voltage. V = 195 x 3.5 = 683V for a 3.5V cell or 585 for a 3.0V cell, etc.
so lets hope there is interest in post lithium ion batteries such that the chemistries of such batteries are ironed out in due time :).
Does anyone know how much litium the battery contains?
So I have calculated that tesla will be able to manufacture 367 million cars with the 11.000.000 tonnes of lithium in the world. Do you concur?
I think we are safe on the lithium supply until we we are making a billion plus cars. See the very insightful article from Nick Butcher about battery constraints. http://seekingalpha.com/article/654441-ev-myths-and-realities-part-1-the...
Yes, I miscalculated: 1,6 billion!
i see lots of talk about the specs but nothing on cycles, does anybody know how well these things will do in the long run?
the amount of lithium in the battery pack can be estimated by math. Lithium only exists in the LiCoO2 cathode and the LIPF6 electrolyte. The electrolyte is typically 1 mol/L so there is 1 mol of Li in 1L of electrolyte.
Based on the total capacity of the unit cell (18650) of ~3000 mAh and the reversible specific capacity of LiCoO2 of 140 mAh/g, we can estimate 21.5g of reversible LiCoO2 in one cell. however, the total capacity of LiCoO2 is ~280 mAhg, but only ~50% of is reversible, so we have to multiply 21.5 x 2 = 43g LiCoO2 to obtain total amount in the unit cell.
now the molecular weight of LiCoO2 is 97.87 g/mol and that of Li is 6.941 so Li weighs 7.1% of total active material in cathode. Then 43g x 0.071 = 3.05g total Li in the cathode of one 18650 cell with ~3 Ah capacity.
I dont know how much electrolyte one 18650 cell contains but it must be as much as the free volume (~50%) of its celgard separator which must be the same geometric area as the cathode. The geometric area of the cathode in an 18650 cell is 265.65 cm2. So if i assume ~280 cm2 geometric area for the celgard separator with 0.1 mm thickness and ~50% porosity, i get ~ 280 cm2 x 0.01 cm = 2.8 cm3 / 2 = 1.4 cm3 or 1.4 ml of electrolyte.
at a a typical concentration of 1M LiPF6, a volume of 1.4 ml corresponds to 0.269 g LiPF6 (mw of LiPF6 is 191.905 g/mol). there is 3.6% Li in LiPF6 by weight so 0.269 g x 0.036 = 0.0097 g Li.
to add everything up we have 0.0097g + 3.05g = 3.06g Li in one 18650 cell. Model S has 7000 cells so a total of 21.4 kg Li per battery pack or just about 47 lbs of lithium.
i hope i made only a few mistakes in my math.
if anyone can pitch in how much that costs...
I will be watching the battery technology and feel certain that someday we will all be able to get new batteries that either weigh a lot less for the same range or have considerably more range for the gclub when the time comes for replacement.
wow thats it.. "thinking" I think I can match Tesla battery output... good question..
the batteries which are used in Tesla i believe they are designed by power japan plus a company which develop's new generation batteries so if you have doubts about the battery do the search in net friends
Of that 47 lbs of lithium, how much is reusable when the batteries are recycled some day? What in the individual battery cylinders would not be recyclable?

FIVE ALARM FUNK with The Cumbieros
Grooves for days. Monster horns and shredding psych-rock guitars. Oh, and giant killer robots. Let's not forget about those. These are among the elements that make up the Five Alarm Funk experience. The Vancouver-based band is nine men strong and over a decade deep into a career that has seen it release five acclaimed albums and burn up stages across the country on four national tours. And this vehicle isn't about to slow down. In fact, Five Alarm Funk is just picking up steam.
It won't be long before music lovers around the world learn what the group's Canadian fans have known for years. A Five Alarm Funk show is more than a concert; it's a high-octane, knock-your-socks-off dance party.

"I have been informed by our representative at the Department of Buildings (DOB) that this site has not yet been approved to have their certificate of occupancy changed from factory to cabaret," Giordano wrote in the letter.
Due to the current zoning of the site, located at 52-19 Flushing Ave., the letter continued, "I believe that our community board should oppose the granting of the cabaret liquor license a this location."
Giordano said the board caught wind of the recent DOB application after receiving notice that the owners of the center had reapplied for a cabaret liquor license with the State Liquor Authority to accommodate 600 or more persons on site.
"Separate and apart from their application for a liquor permit, they [Knockdown Center owners] have applied to the DOB, and though it hasn't been approved yet, hopefully it never will," Giordano said.
CB5 chair Vincent Arcuri said the board is more wary when it comes to issuing their own approval of large certificate of occupancy applications since a local law went into effect in 2013 granting an ongoing permits, versus temporary certificate of occupancy permits.
"Under the new rules, since last spring the DOB issues a public assembly certificate with no expiration date, and then the Fire Department inspects one year from the issuance and issues a public assembly permit," Arcuri explained. "So it's convoluted now with these new rules. I don't know if the Fire Department is caught up on this."
Arcuri said while the board has never dealt with something of this magnitude, he suspects the city and State Liquor Authority has yet to deal with the same type of application since the rule change.
"We were concerned about the 5,000-person certificate of occupancy because we didn't see any parking requirements, and all catering needs parking services," Arcuri said. "I don't think the liquor authority has seen anything like this before, other than a catering hall. That's why I think the certificate of occupancy is for a banquet hall."

SOS May Challenge – Mother May I?Posted in Scrapbook Pages and tagged with CTMH, gems, pearls, rhinestones, ribbon, wood on 05/08/2012 12:00 am by Wendy
This month the Challenge over at Scrap Our Stash is "Mother May I". Go to one of your favorite blogs and find a layout to case or get inspiration from. Visit Scrap Our Stash for all the details.
I chose this beautiful layout from Sherri Tozzi's blog:
Here is my layout:
Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Silhouette Paper Packet (retired), Color-Ready Garden Wooden Shapes, journal tags (retired), Opaque Pearl Adhesive Gems, Black Ribbon Round (retired), Pink Sparkles, Black ink, and Desert Sand ink.
This was a fun challenge and helped me scrap pictures that I was struggling with because they had both pink and red in them. The neutral papers solved this problem.

No matter what transpires over the rest of his NFL career, Drew Brees will be forever known as a Super Bowl champion.
And there's one more title with which the New Orleans quarterback could retire.
Savvy businessman.
Thanks to the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program, an initiative of the NFL and the NFL Players Association that began earlier this week at the Harvard Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Brees is considerably better-prepared for his life after football.
"It gives you a great foundation for that eventual transition [into the business world]," said Brees, who one day will turn his acumen for reading coverages into a knack for deciphering profit-and-loss statements. "You get to meet people who have been there and experienced it. And you learn a lot about the pros and cons [of starting and developing a business or an investment portfolio]."
In its sixth season, the program has had 502 players participate in what amounts to a four- or five-day interactive or case-study course in readying themselves for their careers after football, and there are 77 current or former NFL players enrolled in 2010. Several players, including Brees, have taken the course multiple times. The Saints' quarterback is not a participant this time around.
The Harvard program, which leans heavily on case methodology, began Monday. The Wharton classes, which are more interactive, started Tuesday. Both the Wharton and Harvard classes conclude Friday.
About 100-120 players apply yearly for the courses.
At Wharton, the focus is on entrepreneurship with an emphasis on real estate. The Harvard program exposes players to a variety of business operations, negotiation, business plan analysis and the legal aspects of business.
Amid the horror stories and the anecdotal examples of players who enter into bad businesses and dubious investments, the NFL-NFLPA program is a solid road map for some players and a cautionary call to others.
"We did a survey about three years ago and the surprising thing is the number of players who have not started a business or invested money because of what they took from the program," acknowledged Christopher L. Henry, the NFL's director of player development. "There are a confluence of factors at work here but the [point] is to help ensure that the players do the right thing with their money. We're all about education, and we've had very positive results from [the program]."
At a juncture when the league and its players face an uncertain future and have no idea of the NFL landscape in two years -- there is the near-certainty of an uncapped season in 2010 and the prospect of a lockout in '11 -- the Harvard and Wharton programs may be timelier than ever.
The league and the NFLPA clearly disagree on a lot of issues, but there is commonality in the Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program. Both sides want players to be successful when their football careers end, and providing direction, counseling and real-world interactivity is helpful.
Players make a lot of money in a short period of time, and there has been an increase in the number of former players who have squandered the windfall for a variety of reasons. The Harvard and Wharton programs, although less than a week each, help lay the groundwork for players to better invest and protect their NFL earnings.
Said Seattle defensive end Patrick Kerney, who is currently enrolled in the Harvard program: "You really don't know what's going to happen. With so many clouds on the horizon, it's good to know how to look after your money."
Prompted at least in part by the program, several players, including former Tennessee star tailback Eddie George, have either earned their MBA or are taking classes toward it. The popularity of the program has spread, largely through word-of-mouth from players who have participated in the past, and the NFL and the union plan to keep funding it.
The programs have been beneficial to the schools as well. A few years ago, Stanford and Northwestern were part of the program, but there have never been fewer than two schools involved in the courses. Faculty members, said Ken Shropshire of Wharton, have a chance to view players in a different light, and the experience has been gratifying.
"We find the players to be a very engaged group," said Shropshire, director of the Wharton Sports Business Initiative. "They're here because they want to be here, not because they have to be. It's like, 'Tell me what I need to know and what I need to do.'
"They are very eager."

Angelina Jolie was first linked to "the Mistress of All Evil" in May 2009, the she was "keen" on playing the role in March 2010. Guess who's still interested...
"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this [Land of Blood and Honey]. The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie," Jolie said during a press conference at the Berlin Film Festival, where her directorial debut is screening, according to THR. That Disney movie is almost certainly "Maleficent."
You're forgiven if you've forgotten that Maleficent is the villain in Disney's 1959 version of "Sleeping Beauty," in which she puts a curse on Princess Aurora that she "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die" before turning 16.
U.S. & World
Linda Woolverton ("Alice in Wonderland," "The Lion King," "Beauty and the Beast") has penned a revisionist take on the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora, and last month Disney announced that Robert Stromberg (production designer on "Avatar" and "Alice and Wonderland") would be making his directorial debut with the film.
