Atlas
Atlas (Greek) [from tlenai to bear] In Greek mythology a titan, a sea god who supports on his shoulders the vault of heaven. Son of Iapetus and Clymene or Asia; brother of Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; father of the Pleiades, Hyades, Calypso, and sometimes the Hesperides.
Also a mountain or range in West Africa. Mount Atlas, considered both geographically and mythologically, parallels Mount Meru of the Hindus. Both are intimately connected with the fourth root-race. Atlas is a symbol of the fourth root-race, and his seven daughters, the Atlantides, are the seven subraces (SD 2:493). But Atlas is also the old continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, combined and personified in one symbol, and Mount Atlas is spoken of as a relic of Lemuria. "The poets attributed to Atlas, as to Proteus, a superior wisdom and an universal knowledge, and especially a thorough acquaintance with the depths of the ocean: because both continents bore races instructed by divine masters, and because both were transferred to the bottom of the seas . . ." (SD 2:762). Atlas was compelled to leave the surface of the earth and join his brother Iapetus in the depths of Tartarus, where he supports the new continents on his "shoulders."

Very similar to Cuauhtemoc Blanco in his style of playing, Dani Osorno came into prominence in 1999 Nigeria U-20 WC and after helping Atlas reach the final in the Verano 99, which they lost in penalties to Toluca. Born in El Salto, Jalisco, Osorno has always played with Atlas, since the 'cadetes' (U-12). Though he is not a real goalscorer, he creates many opportunities for him and for his team members.

One of the most talented mexican players in the new millenium. Formed in the Zorros of Atlas in his home town Guadalajara, Juan Pablo was named after Pope's visit to Mexico in 1979. He has a superb touch of ball in both free kicks and 'normal' game. Maybe the youngest player to be captain of Atlas in the modern history. At national team, he has played very few games.
Zepeda, Miguel Ángel
Birthdate: May 25, 1976
Birthplace: Tepic, Mexico
Height: 1.74 mts
Weight: 70 kgs
Position: Attacking Midfielder
International: 27 caps, 8 goals (as of September 10, 2000)
World Cups: 0
Previous Clubs: Irapuato
Transfer Fee: -
Very fast and extremely accurate attacking midfielder. He is used to go into attack and score vital goals that helps his team to take important points. Has become a regular fixture in the Mexican National team since 1999 Copa America, and later winning the FIFA Confederations Cup, Zepeda scored the first goal of the final match to Brazil. Apparently he was moving to an European team, but Atlas of Guadalajara did not accept the proposal and everything went down.

ATLAS experiment
ATLAS directs here, for the linear accelerator see Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System or other uses see Atlas (disambiguation) ATLAS (AToroidal LHC ApparatuS) is one of the six particle detector experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, and LHCf) currently being constructed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new particle accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland. When completed, ATLAS will be 46 metres long and 25 metres in diameter, and will weigh about 7,000 tonnes. The project involves roughly 2,000 scientists and engineers at 165 institutions in 35 countries. The construction was scheduled to be completed in June 2007, however is now stated to be mid-2008. The experiment is designed to observe phenomena that involve highly massive particles which were not observable using earlier lower-energy accelerators and might shed light on new theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
