flesh eating bacteria

A University of West Georgia student who lost a leg and probably also other parts of the flesh-eating bacteria biting words to her family and shows a loose "fighting spirit," her father said Friday.

Aimee Copeland is fighting for her life in an Augusta hospital after her left leg and part of her stomach removed last week. They instructed the infection after an injury her calf in a zip line accident 10 days.

"I would say that they are more commands than questions at this time," said Andy Copeland "CNN Newsroom" said his daughter the breathing tube was repositioned so that their parents could read their lips.

"I canÂ't say," was what she said and we said: ".. We know, my dear, you have a tube in the throat"

Bills general manager Buddy Nix had no trouble assessing the attributes of Vince Young after agreeing to a one-year contract with free agent quarterback Friday.

Strong arm. High mobility. And then there's his winning record as an NFL starter.

When it comes to configuring Young's role in the Bills, Nix does not guarantee that, except to say that the starting job is already taken by Ryan Fitzpatrick to so young to compete for a backup job.

"We are always looking to try to improve our team," Nix said. "It is a competition for the backup quarterback job, and not the starter .... He knows it. That's the way it is."

That does not devalue Bills' hopes for Young, who compete with the return of Tyler Thigpen backup.

"The man's already two Pro Bowls. He is 31-19 as a starter in this league," said Nix. "We think he can do it again."

Citing a source League, ESPN.com reported the contract is worth $ 2,000,000 $ 1,000,000 available in more game-time bonuses.

Today we have lost a legend in the history of the Ford Motor Company, and my family and I have lost a dear friend. Carroll Shelby is one of the most famous names in performance car history, and he's been in everything he did successfully. Whether helping Ford Racing, which dominate 1960 or build some of the most famous Mustangs, his enthusiasm and passion for big cars more than six decades, really inspired all who worked with him. He was a great innovator, whose legend at Ford will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

It legitimizes the American cars on the race tracks around the world ... He was iconic (with), that black cowboy hat. The man in the black hat was always the spoiler ... He ran a lot of tradition and was a bit of rebel.

Carroll was a personal friend of mine, to my late mother and his brother and a good friend of Barrett-Jackson President Steve Davis. In fact, so much he means to me, I have my only daughter, Shelby, behind him. He was bigger than life, responsible for some of the most legendary cars including the Cobra, the GT40, the Shelby Mustang and Viper. His car command some of the highest prices on our auction block, and for good reason, because if you are a Shelby, you know you are a piece of automotive history, to buy property. His death is a real loss for us all, both at Barrett-Jackson and the industry as a whole. He was an icon, I was proud to call a friend.
