Charles Schulz lent his aircraft in the capture of a jailbreak?

Did anyone else read a story where Charles Schulz lent his aircraft in the capture of a jailbreak? I can't find anything on it, but I'm sure I read it shortly before his passing.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:58, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

I can't even find evidence that he owned an aircraft or had a pilot's license; actually, he hated to travel, according to various bios/obits (e.g: NY Times).  —71.20.250.51 (talk) 15:25, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

All I could find is that there's apparently an airport named for him. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:50, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Could it have been a decidedly non-standard ultralight (vintage World War I)? Clarityfiend (talk) 22:09, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

However, his second wife, Jean Schulz, was "an airplane pilot who once flew across country in the Powder Puff Derby with her mother". See Charles Schulz's widow tends Peanuts gallery. Alansplodge (talk) 12:52, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

"h o n e y b e l l" by maxo

Hiya, I've recently become quite obsessed with this sugar rush of a song, but I can't seem to pinpoint the exact genre. What's the actual name for this type of music? I've seen it labelled as "chill trap" before, but that definitely doesn't sound right.. little help? thanks cheers ~Helicopter Llama~ 15:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

World Cup yellow cards

If a player gets a yellow card, does it persist for the rest of the tournament or does it reset after X number of games? --Robert.Labrie (talk) 16:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

The rules are described at 2014 FIFA World Cup disciplinary record, though not very clearly, and without references. Maybe there's something on FIFA's website, but I can't see anything obvious. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 16:59, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

If memory serves there is a spot where they reset to zero. Perhaps when they enter the round of eight. The rules change from time to time so my info is probably out of date. MarnetteD|Talk 17:04, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Robert.Labrie The announcers in the US v Belgium match stated that they yellows cards reset to zero after the quarter finals (the round of eight) - I suspect that is so the only way a player misses the final (or third place game) is if they get two yellows or a straight red card in the semifinal.

World Cup Press Box Question

The FIFA World Cup is broadcast in many languages. Is the press box very large, to accommodate more than a hundred announcer teams, or are many of the languages broadcast "in country" rather than "in host country"? For instance, is the Polish announcer in Brazil, or in Warsaw? Also, the other side to this question is: How many Spanish-speaking announcer teams are there (with 9 Spanish-speaking teams that qualified and other Spanish-speaking countries in which association football is the most popular sport)? Also, was Ghana v. Portugal, which was televised concurrently with US v. Germany, being broadcast live from the stadium by a US announcer? Robert McClenon (talk) 19:12, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes the press boxes are enormous. In some stadiums they take up to half an upper tier on one side of the stadium or more. Nanonic (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Most of the announcers are in the stadium, but not all. For example, in the United States the television broadcasters for ESPN were at the stadiums in Brazil, but the announcers for ESPN Radio were at the studios in Bristol, Connecticut. (This I know because about an hour before one match, one of the announcers was on the set of SportsCenter, then left to go announce the game.)    → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 00:02, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
