So Hing-keung's photographic art brings you a new perspective of Hong Kong city
Photographs that contain scenes of buildings would generally be considered as a generic tool for memory or photographic record to most of us. To So Hing-keung, however, it can be an effective medium of art for communicating his feelings about our city.
Excellent in mastering post photographic manipulation, So Hing-keung is able to produce photographs which have two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements tactfully mixed and foreground and background interplayed to reveal a new perspective of the geographic environment of Hong Kong and explore a complex sense of space.
If you wish to further explore So Hing-keung's unique photographic art, go and visit the Exhibition Hall of Hong Kong Film Archive between tomorrow (January 29) and February 26. Over 30 works by So will be featured at an exhibition entitled "Reconstructing a City: Photography by So Hing-keung".
Hong Kong is undoubtedly a city with small space. The intense pressure and tension caused by the competition for space between lives and buildings have intrigued So in his photographic exploration which in result delivers new perspectives of our living environment through his works, and this is where the theme of the exhibition "Reconstructing a City" comes from. By means of post photographic manipulation, So is especially fond of mixing images of plants and buildings which can always inspire viewers to re-think the relationships between lives and their environment.
So has been practising photography for more than a decade and has long been deviated from usual photo-taking style. It is So's practice to give his works a further dimension with the application of various forms of post photographic manipulation, such as double exposure, superimposition, chemical and physical manipulation of negatives and positives, collage, direct sketching and scratching, in expression of his heartfelt feelings towards the city. For example, the use of double exposure showing both the images of plants and buildings in one single photo is a way to express a competition for living space; the application of scratching is the artist's way to demonstrate dissatisfaction towards the reality and an expression of anger; coloring a new photo in brown-yellow creates an obsolete sense, thus soliciting viewers' thought in respect of the value of an existing object and its future.
"Reconstructing a City: Photography by So Hing-keung" is the second solo exhibition organised by the Art Promotion Office (APO) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department under the Artists in the Neighbourhood Scheme. The Scheme is also a partnership project with the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) Corporation aiming at promoting local visual arts and bringing to the community high-quality local art exhibitions, thus achieving the purpose of "art-in-the-neighbourhood".
To facilitate groups and schools visits, free-guided tours will be organised by the APO for the "Reconstructing a City: Photography by So Hing-keung" exhibition. Interested parties may contact the Community Art Team of the APO on 2521 3008. Those who wish to share So's experience of artistic creation are welcome to visit the website at
Hong Kong Film Archive is situated at 50 Lei King Road, Sai Wan Ho. Its exhibition hall opens from 10 am to 8 pm daily and closes on every Thursday (expect public holidays) and the first two days of the Lunar New Year. Admission is free.

text: Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future of the automobile industry and a key innovation in transportation technology and manufacturing in the 21st Century. Michigan pioneered the auto industry and now stands at the forefront of its future. Yet, the growth of this industry depends in large part on whether the market for electric vehicles continues to strengthen. Michigan therefore has a critical role to play in ensuring that electric car adoption and sales succeed here in the auto state.

Journal: Proof competition aids public schools
FROM THE halls of the U.S. Capitol to the chambers at Georgia's Gold Dome, opponents of school choice argue time and again that providing scholarships for children to escape failing schools would spell the end of public education.
Now, from neighboring Florida, we have solid data that demonstrate the opposite. A new study shows that competition from the private sector is turning around some of Florida's worst public schools. Test scores in those schools show dramatic gains.
Jay P. Greene, a noted Harvard researcher on school choice and senior fellow at The Manhattan Institute, released a study today that shows that since instituting the school choice program, gains in reading scores are more than eight times greater in "F" schools than "A" schools. Math scores improved twice as much in "F" schools as in "A" schools.
"The prospect of choice and competition motivates schools to improve," Greene wrote in "An Evaluation of the Florida A-Plus Accountability and School Choice Program."
Last year, Florida began offering scholarships to pupils stuck in schools graded an "F" for two out of four years. Those students were offered a $3,400 Opportunity Scholarship to transfer to another public or private school. Two schools in Pensacola lost a total of 53 pupils to the private sector.
Competition in Florida has helped public schools in other ways. Districts with schools facing the possibility of losing students to Opportunity Scholarships have done the following:
Escambia County, home of the two failing Pensacola schools, has extended its school year to 210 days, including an extended day program from 2 to 4 p.m. It has also instituted Saturday school, 90-minute block periods for reading and math and a program to lower absenteeism by aggressively contacting parents.
In Broward County, where there were seven "F" schools on the verge of going on the Opportunity Scholarship list, summer school is now mandatory for fourth-graders who haven't mastered skills. Students at the county's "F" rated high school who are not native English speakers are offered more intensive language laboratories.
Miami-Dade County schools have switched to phonics-based reading programs, begun encouraging poor parents to go back to school to earn their GED and initiated Saturday remedial reading programs for high school students in low-scoring schools.
Lake County, in central Florida, had one "F" rated school. In response, it reduced the student-teacher ratio in that elementary school to 15-1, extended reading to two hours daily and switched to a Montessori approach to reading.
Polk County schools initiated an extended school day and set up a mentoring program with the business community to tutor low-performing pupils.
President Bush has a federally funded scholarship program as part of his education reform plan now before Congress. Results from his brother's experiment in Florida should convince naysayers that 49 other states would also benefit from a market approach to improving public education.

I saw your post about the big helecopter that was used for the mining industry, and yes it it huge, but it is not the biggest by a long way. I have linked a picture to a machine made by the same people which has two twin engined heads and a body larger than a boing 737! Just check out the size of the fighter jets under its wing for a scale!

Cartoonist Steve Bell to receive honorary degree
10:10am Monday 25th July 2011 in News
A cartoonist best known for his caricatures of British prime ministers will receive an honorary degree.
Steve Bell, who lives in Brighton, will be presented with a masters of art from the University of Brighton.
Mr Bell is famous for his editorial cartoons and long-running political strip If..., which have appeared in The Guardian since 1981.
Named Cartoonist of the Year 2003, he created the image of former Prime Minister John Major with his underpants outside his trousers.
He will be presented with his degree in recognition of his contribution to the art of the political and editorial cartoon.
He will collect his award alongside other graduates from the university at Brighton Dome tomorrow.
Michael Chowen, the founder of Sussex Stationers, will also become a doctor of science for his philanthropic activities in education in the Brighton area on Wednesday.
Mr Chowen has made numerous donations to educational institutions, including a recent donation of £150,000 to the University of Brighton which enabled work on a research project to reduce greenhouse gases.
His interest in this area was sparked by his attendance at a lecture given by chemist Sir Harry Kroto, keynote speaker at the ceremonies on Wednesday.
More than 4,800 students are graduating from the university and 3,400 will attend the week's ceremonies with their families and friends.
Professor Julian Crampton, the university's vice-chancellor, said: "I am continually struck by the wealth of talent and sense of community that exists here at the university, an institution that is very much on an upward trajectory."

Finnish sociologist, philosopher, and anthropologist who denied the widely held view that early humans had lived in a state of promiscuity and instead theorized that the original form of human sexual attachment had been monogamy. He asserted that primitive marriage was rooted in the needs of the nuclear family, which he considered to be the fundamental and universal unit of society.

Annable was born in Suffern, NY on Sept. 15, 1979 and raised in the town of Walden. One of three siblings along with a sister and half-sister, Annable spent his upstate New York youth entrenched in athletic pursuits, actively involved in hockey, rugby and baseball. However, as he matured, he found a strong acting inspiration in television comedy star Michael J. Fox of "Family Ties" (NBC, 1982-89) fame. With a heavy concentration on sports, Annable figured he might eventually segue into becoming a gym teacher, but got more into performing at State University of New York (SUNY) at Plattsburgh.

had on tap at Humpy's. dont think this is retired.
Pours a clear amber/orange with ok head and minimal lace. Appears very clear. Nose is creamy with malts. Taste is good, but has a wierd kind of cream flavor that turns me off a little bit. It tastes like an amber ale, but it tastes kind of fake. Malts dominate, almost no hop flavors. Some wierd spice, but not in a terrible way or in a particularly good way. A good beer, but wierd enough that I wouldnt strongly recommend it. Mouthfeel is average, and drinkability is too, but the wierdness kind of makes it less drinkable than it seems at first. Ice cold its better. Not my favorite from m sun, but ok.

32oz growler into a MSBC pint glass. Pours a crystal clear light amber-orange with a thin white cap of foam that simmers down to a light glazing of suds.
The nose features a healthy dose of malt aromas--some bready-biscuit smells and a touch of caramel shine through. Also has some grassy hop aromas. Very light lacing. Not much head retention.
Taste is kind of creamy up front that gives way to a solid malt backbone for this amber. Slight bitterness balances things out. A lot of biscuit/toasted grain flavor and some sweeter caramel malt.
Mouthfeel is creamy and fairly smooth with some punctuation from the carbonation.
Overall, a respectable amber. Kind of grows on you some as you drink it. First few sips I wasn't sure what to make of it, but it seems to settle down pretty well and deliver some of the classic characteristics of a malty amber brew. Good afternoon "session" beer.

Reviewed from notes. Drank on 7/7 in Talkeetna, Alaska.
Copper color with a small off white head. I do not mind this, since it gave me more beer in the glass. The aroma has toasted and caramel malt with light citrus hops.
The taste is just like the aroma. Toasted and caramel malt with light citrus hops. Light to medium bodied, crisp, smooth, and easy to drink. One of the better Amber / Red Ales I have had in a while.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A- Really it's more of a red color than an amber in my eyes, but hey, it still looks nice. Thick, long lasting head that is compact looking. Sheets of lacing.
S- Smells of toasted grain, lightly hoppy.
T- Toasted malt, and a good nutty flavor to it. The hops don't seem to mingle well, as there is a light citric character that just doesn't work well for me with the grain bill.
M- A bit sharp on the carbonation. Decent body. Dry finish.
O- A decent amber. It's got some good notes, but I think I would change their hop usage. As dry and crisp as it is, it sits a little heavy for the style. But it's a quality one beer brew. Went pretty well with peanuts at the ball game.

Pours a clear, amber/copper color. 1/5 inch head of an off-white color. Slight retention and slight lacing. Smells of sweet malt, pale malt, hint of hop, and slight yeast. Fits the style of an American Amber / Red Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of sweet malt, slight pale malt, slight yeast, and a hint of hop. Overall, decent aroma and body.

A - Poured a clear, amber color with ruby highlights. It had a small, off-white head of bubbly foam that left some sudsy lace on the glass.
S - It smelled of bready malty with a touch of citrusy hops. Some floral notes, too.
T - Sweet caramel malt with a bread-like malt backbone. There was a nice bitter bite from some citrusy hops.
M - It was crisp, sharp and fairly smooth. A medium bodied ale that finishes clean and dry.
O - This is a pretty good amber ale. It could be good in their regular rotation.

On tap at the new MSBC loft, Oosik Amber Ale is clear bronze, with light edges and a darker core, with a creamy off-white head leaving heavy lace.
Smell is really yummy, fruity esters and fresh bread.
Taste is great. Loads of bread but clean, not grainy, sweet but not cloying, just a solid, really well made amber. Not hoppy, almost like an ESB.
Mouthfeel is very creamy, smooth and lighter bodied.
Drinkability is exceptional. Really well made, tasty and sessionable. Wow, I'm really surprised, I put off trying the for too long!

Roy Prescott has been a radio and music lover since listening to 60's rock 'n roll on Boston's WRKO and WMEX. Back when they played music. In Arlington, MA, he and his friends would set up a faux radio station in the basement and spin the 45's they had, plus the ones they "borrowed" from siblings. Pretending to be playing "the most from coast to coast". Later on Cape Cod, Roy and his friend Doug, would sit in a car across the street from WCOD in Hyannis, where the DJ was set up in the front window. Roy would say, "I'm gonna do that someday." Fast forward to 1978. Roy moved to the Mount Washington Valley on October 1st, working at then Crest Chevrolet. Getting to know the community, Roy moved on to tending bar at the Mountain Valley Court Club. Here he got acquainted with WMWV. They had a Sports Talk program and Roy being a sports fan and Wrestling fan (another long story), would make guest appearances on the program. By the way, it's said that Roy's resume reads like a tome, although maybe not so scholarly! Fast forward to 1993. Roy and his lovely wife Janet, opened the Community Market & Deli in Madison. They had fantastic food and did a live broadcast of the daily lunch specials on WMWV. Mark Johnson of WMWV was starting a Blues show and Roy lent him his meager collection and the Blues Summit was born. Roy would join Mark in the studio from time to time, learning the ropes and the board. At one point, Mark became ill with pneumonia and there was no one to host the show. Unbeknownst to the powers that be, Roy filled in for Mark. Almost giving a heart attack to then station manager Jesse Mosston! The big thing? He played all the commercials! Fast forward to 1999. Mark Johnson passed the reins of the Blues Summit to Roy. The show at that point was on Sunday nights. At last count the Blues Summit library boasts 4000 Blues CDs! Fast forward to 2000. Roy and Janet sold the Deli AND long time staple on the WMWV airwaves, George Cleveland, took the job running the Gibson Center for Senior Services in North Conway. Roy started his dream job working full time at WMWV, doing afternoons. Roy remembers that during the job interview, Skip Sherman, who had owned the station since the 1950's asked, "What are your intentions with my radio station?" Feeling like he was asking for a daughter's hand, Roy replied, "To play the best damn music and not embarrass myself." I guess he passed the audition! Since that time, Roy has taken over the co-hosting duties of Morning Drive and continues to host the Blues Summit, now on Wednesday nights 6-9 pm. A giant part of Roy's job is also getting out into the community for live remote broadcasts, where he says it's great to actually see the listeners. He quips, "It's nice to see the people that love (and sometimes don't love) WMWV. You sit in the studio talking into a mic and hope that you make an impact, no matter how small, on listener's lives. Radio is very powerful!" Roy is also Assistant Music Director, working with PD/MD Mark Johnson to put together the daily playlist. It's a labor of love that makes WMWV one of the coolest radio stations in the country! Sometimes dreams come true.Gair MacKenzie – News Director & Morning Drive Co-host
Gair MacKenzie was born in New York City but convinced his dad to move the family out to the Connecticut suburbs when he was three years old.He attended schools in Darien before moving to Westfield New Jersey for a few years, where he landed a plumb job as a high school sophomore at The Music Staff, one of two record stores in town. It was there he developed a fierce passionfor all kinds of music and enjoyed seeing concerts by artists like Bruce Springsteen, The Allman Brothers Band, Renaissance and Loggins and Messina. Returning to Connecticut, he graduated from Darien High School and then attended Principia College in Elsah, Illinois, where he earned a bachelors degree in English. He then became the head counselor at Camp Owatonna in Harrison, Maine, a boys summer camp he and his brothers enjoyed attending for many years. From there, he played bass and sang for a year in a band fronted by popular singer songwriter Carolina Edwards, who had previously scored a top 10 hit in Nova Scotia. He was then commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy and served on various ships over a 12-year period as a surface warfare officer and public affairs officer, before resigning as a lieutenant commander. During his Navy career, he did advance work for the first-ever NATO ship visits to Bulgaria and Estonia – and even arranged for his ship squadron to rent the official Olympic Stadium in Barcelona for a day! After matriculating at Boston University – and earning a masters degree in broadcast journalism – he worked briefly at WLBZ News Center Two in Bangor, Maine as a general assignment television reporter. He started
working at WMWV in December 2006 as news director and on-air radio reporter and enjoys writing, interviewing interesting people and using sound – for news stories and drive time interviews about the people and events in the valley area and western Maine. He also enjoys almost daily "critter encounters" during his commute from western Maine. In his spare time – of which he has very little – he enjoys reading
(news and non-fiction), listening to music, boating and weeding.
Mark Johnson searches far and wide to find the music you'll hear on WMWV, he is the architect of our sound. When Mark isn't doing radio, he's often spinning tunes for weddings in and around the Valley. Conventional wisdom is that he has "married" roughly fifty percent of the local population.Dennis mixing the Austin Louge Lizards
Dennis Quinn is the host of Scarlet Begonias Radio, Saturday nights from ten 'til midnight. It's a Grateful Dead radio show, and it's been on the air in Mount Washington Valley for fourteen years, playing the endless supply of quality live recordings of the Grateful Dead and related bands for 2 hours every Saturday night. Dennis started our first website, back when we switched from reel-to-reel tapes and razorblades to the digital era, and he's lurking in the background of this lastest incarnation. He also does concert sound for The Arts Council of Tamworth, and digital oddjobs.

Am enjoying the show this Thanksgiving Morning while preparing my feast.
I thought Soft Cells acoustic version of "Jungle Love" would be great compliment
to the program.
(I might have the title wrong)
I heard this back in 2009, the length of this version was something I really appreciated.
If you could get it on, that would be great, if not….
I'll enjoy your listening pleasure anyway.
Thanks WMWV

So glad you're finally online. I'm from Cape Cod, and could only listen to you when I was in the Lakes region. Hi to Roy also. I spoke to you one morning about 7 years ago when I had a cottage on Newfound Lake. Keep up the good work and the great music!

To One and All,
The website is awesome!! and the streaming is great, especially for someone like me that lives out in the sticks and can't reception for any money. We recently got hooked on to a DSL group and now can enjoy LIVE off the computer.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia — a condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen throughout your body.
Normally, your red blood cells are flexible and round, moving easily through your blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood cells become rigid and sticky and are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These irregularly shaped cells can get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body.
There's no cure for most people with sickle cell anemia. However, treatments can relieve pain and help prevent further problems associated with sickle cell anemia.

Citi Simplicity Review: 0% Intro APR for 18 Months
Read more about Citi Simplicity® Card
By not charging for late payments, the Citi Simplicity Card gives cardholders some breathing room when it comes to managing their credit. Plus, with an 18-month 0% introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers, this card is a smart pick for people who carry a balance. In exchange for this flexibility, the Citi Simplicity Card does not have a rewards program.
Pros and Cons
Bottom Line
Excellent card for people who carry a balance
No Annual Fee, No Late Fees or Penalty Rate
This card charges no annual fee and avoids many of the other fees associated with credit cards, such as a penalty rate for late payments. Other credit cards may raise your monthly interest rate to an APR penalty rate of 29.99% if you are late with a payment. Cards can also charge you a fee and the penalty interest rate if you spend over the credit limit on your card.
The Citi Simplicity does not charge any of these fees. You can use this card without worrying about excess fees on your account.
Balance Transfer: 0% Introductory APR
The Citi Simplicity Credit Card also offers a generous introductory APR. There is a 0% introductory APR for the first 18 months. This applies to both purchases and to balance transfers from other cards.
Balance Transfer Fee: The card does charge a one-time 3% fee on balance transfers, with a minimum charge of $5. If you transfer over $1,000, you will owe an additional $30 because of the fee. While transfers are not free, the fee is significantly lower than paying interest on a balance for almost two years.
After the first 18 months, this card charges a variable APR of 12.99% to 21.99% based on your creditworthiness. This APR is the same for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances. Typically, cards charge a much higher cash advance APR.
No Rewards
The downside of the Citi Simplicity Credit Card is that it does not offer any sort of rewards program. Your purchases on this card do not generate any points for cash back, hotel visits or travel tickets. The lack of a rewards program means that Citi can keep the fees on this card low. If you pay off your balance in full every month, you are probably better off using a rewards card.
Foreign Transaction Fee
International travelers should keep in mind, there is a 3% foreign transaction fee. If you do not plan to use this card overseas, then this has no impact on you. Otherwise, travelers should consider a no foreign transaction fee credit card instead.
Bottom Line
The lack of most common fees (annual fees, late fees, and penalty rates) and a long introductory APR make this a fantastic card for consumers who carry a balance and are occasionally late with a payment. Cardholders who pay off their balance every billing cycle are better off with a rewards card.

Pleasure Point's new restaurant, Suda, has only been open since last Wednesday, and already it's showing great promise.
Co-owners Dan Vaskoboynikov (owner of Harbor Cafe) and Mike Pitt (owner of Castaways and Motiv) have transformed what was once the dimly-lit Mexican food joint, Rock of the Sea, into a different space entirely.
With a focus on healthy food, skillfully-mixed drinks and a good ambiance, Suda has the industrial feel of a Brooklyn loft: sleek cement floors, a full bar, and steel booths running the length of two walls. Lunch prices are modest, and surprisingly easier on the wallet than you would expect before cracking open the menu.
"We're trying to be casual in our price offering," said Pitt of the lunch fare, which runs around $8 - $15 and includes vibrant locally-sourced salads and soups, fish, beef or sweet potato tacos, a Suda burger and the "victory bowl" a quinoa bowl with mixed veggies, just to name a few.
On the third day Suda was open, the bar was a mix of hard-working types who shuffled in for a cold draft beer and a couple local girls wanting to catch the German soccer match on the flat screen above the bar, while the tables saw a smattering of families, old friends meeting for lunch and a couple curious tourists.
Starving, my friend and I decided immediately to order lettuce wraps, and we were happy we did. Crispy butter lettuce cups were filled with rice noodles, red onion, tofu, peanuts and ginger, and came with a side of peanut sauce to drizzle over the whole delicately-delicious concoction.
The Bombay Fish Tacos ($13) were three handmade corn tortillas filled with Indian spiced mahi mahi, black bean sour cream, shredded cabbage and mango chutney, (a unique spin on the ever-evolving fish tacos of California restaurants), and the Suda Salad ($9) was a mountain of fresh greens, grated beets, carrotsand sunflower sprouts served with a side of Greek yogurt-based jalapeno and tomatillo dressing. Both were generous lunch portions that left us with that guilt-free vibrancy you get after filling up on organic vegetables and lean organic proteins.
The vegetables at Suda are organic and sourced from local farms, and the fish and meats are line caught, sustainable, lean and hormone-free.
"All of the cards I collected at the Farmers Market I gave to my chef," said Pitt, who gives his chef, Anthony Diaz, free reign to choose what produce he orders from which farms. Diaz has worked at the Chaminade, and Lido on the Esplanade in Capitola (now closed), among other places.
"He's just really great to work with, good energy, knows everybody," Pitt said of Diaz.
Suda also recently got its own plot of land in Corralitos where they will be growing some of their own vegetables to put on the menu, and Pitt said they've already got a few different types of lettuce varieties thriving on their acre plot.
"Both Dan and myself like healthy food," said Pitt. "And of course we take inspiration from places like , but I eat out all of the time, and I've always wondered, 'Why isn't there a place like this in Santa Cruz?'"
"A place like this" embraces the healthy living food that Dharma's does, in a more upscale atmosphere. (And they don't mind if you whip out your cell phone or gaze at the TV during your time there.) It seems to fit right in with Pleasure Point's beloved hodgepodge of surf shops, pizza and tattoo parlors, cafes and gritty bars.
"Our town needs this," said Pitt. "That was kind of the whole idea, to have a new social hub on the Point," he said.
Pitt can be credited for remodeling Castaways in 2005, and then Motiv a few years later, both of which are doing (and looking) significantly better since he took over.
Vaskoboynikov and Pitt didn't meet until a few years ago at Burning Man. It was at that point that they realized two things: that they liked each others' businesses, and that they both dreamed of opening a healthy, affordable, restaurant and bar.
The cocktail list at Suda is tantilizing. A more social evening might find me back at Suda trying a "Chaos Theory" (crushed blackberries and mint, Hangar One Vodka, lychee and the floral notes of St. Germain) or the "Suda 75", (garden fresh basil and cucumber mixed with the herbal aromas of lavender and Blade Gin, and a bubbly topper of champagne and citrus).
On July 2, Suda will begin serving dinner, as well as breakfast and lunch. The dinner menu will be served from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., and a late-night bar menu will be served until around 11 p.m., including classic bar grub, like burgers, mac and cheese and tacos.
"Then as long as there are people there we'll keep the bar open a little later," said Pitt.
Suda means "heart" in Estonian, but neither of the owners are Estonian, nor are they serving Estonian food. Estonia does happen to be the country in the middle of Vaskoboynikov's Russian background and Pitt's Swedish background, though, and the "heart" speaks to the passion the two owners share for healthy California Cuisine and drink mixology.
Keep up to date with happenings at Suda, and see the full breakfast, lunch, and cocktail menus by visiting their Facebook Page!

Premierleague.com rifles through the annals of the Barclays Premier League to find significant events.
In the 1993/94 campaign, the Magpies had finished third behind Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers with a record-setting 82 goals scored and so the purchase of the stylish Belgian was aimed at improving the Newcastle rearguard.
Albert, who had won the Belgian League twice with Anderlecht and helped Belgium reach that summer's World Cup finals, arrived in a £2.6m deal on his 27th birthday, hence his No 27 shirt.
If Albert had been brought in to help shore up the defence, it was his contribution at the other end for which he became better known. He was adept at bringing the ball out of defence and taking the game to the opposition - a style suiting the attack-minded approach of Kevin Keegan's "Entertainers".
Albert became a cult hero on Tyneside and helped the Magpies win their first six matches of a 1994/95 campaign but it tailed off after the Belgian suffered an injury, reducing his contribution to 17 League appearances.
Newcastle had to settle for a sixth but with the help of further investment in players the club challenged for the title over the next two campaigns, finishing runners-up twice.
Albert's crowning moment came when he dispatched a sumptuous lob over Peter Schmeichel in Newcastle's 5-0 victory over Manchester United in 1996. It was one of eight League goals the Belgian scored in 96 top-flight appearances for the Magpies over five seasons, before re-uniting with Keegan at Fulham in 1999.

On November 16, 2011 the Lobos hired former Notre Dame Coach and ESPN analysis Bob Davie for the 2012 season
New Mexico in Cyberspace:
Athletic Website
New Mexico Offense:
Offensive Analysis:
The Lobo football program has some serious problems as does their offense. The lobos have some playmakers and talent on offense but whether the Lobos gave up midway through the season or what, the Lobos near or at the bottom of every offensive statistical category. For example, the Lobos are 98th in rushing offense, 98th in passing offense, 111th in total offense, and 120th in scoring offense. Those stats would be troubling for any football coach and it won't get any easier for them this weekend.
Junior BR Holbrook is perhaps the best QB you never heard of. After battling injuries and starting four games in 2010, he came back healthy and ready tom to go in 2011. Unfortunately, his 2011 campaign has not gone the way he wanted it to as the offense has struggled to get any traction. To his credit and his skill set, he is one of the better QB's in the MWC but has not gotten much support in his efforts as he has had been pestered all year long by opposing defensive fronts. Although his stats do not scream super star, he is a very capable QB time will tell if he will be more productive under Bob Davie.
Wide Receivers:
With the lack of offensive efficiency this season, the receivers have been somewhat productive. Once again, the Lobos have a talented group of receivers, but have not been able to capitalize on their skill sets. Freshman Deon Long, who transferred from West Virginia after the 2009 season, has been the most productive hauling in 39 receptions for 713 yards which ranks him 42nd in the nation. Junior Ty Kirk has been having a decent year as well by hauling in 46 catches for 368 yards and no touchdowns. Rounding out the group is junior tight end Lucas Reed who was a first team all MWC preseason selection. In 2011, Reed has 22 catches for 241 yards and no touchdowns.
Running Backs:
The Lobos have had an absolute dismal rushing attack in 2011, rushing for only 1,540 yards as an entire team. Carring the majority of the workload has been true freshman Crusoe Gongbay who has rushed and earned every one of the 496 yards he gained. Taking some of the stress off of Gongbay has been Sophomore Demarcus Rogers who has carried the ball 77 times for 262 yards.
Offensive Line:
The offensive line has not been very good this season and far more was expected of them after all, they aren't extremely young on the offensive line starting two seniors, one junior, one sophomore, and a freshman. Lobo QB's have been sacked 28 times this season which doesn't account for the several hurries and knockdowns the Lobo QB's have experienced. This is a unit which is capable of so much more but has really underachieved this season.
UNM Total Offense: 305.18ypg (111th) Vs. BSU Total Defense: 326.36 ypg (21st)
UNM Passing Offense: 186.45 ypg (92nd) Vs. BSU Passing Defense: 200.09 ypg (33rd)
UNM Rushing Offense: 118.73 ypg (98th) VS. BSU Rushing Defense: 126.27 ypg (29th)
UNM Points Per Game: 13.09 ppg (120th) VS. BSU Points Allowed: 19.91 ppg (19th)
New Mexico Offense vs. Boise State Defense
The Lobos have some very talented players on offense but like I stated before, I think this team gave up on the season back in September. The Lobos from a statistical standpoint are near or at the bottom of every category where the Bronco's defense is in the top half of every statistical category. The Lobos best bet to keep the game closer will be to keep the Broncos offense off the field by trying to string together some drives. I try to be objective but breaking down the Lobos offense and watching film on them I don't see them moving the ball very much.
New Mexico Defense:
Defensive Analysis:
The Lobos have had their share of problems on the defense as they rank at the bottom of nearly every statistical category. For example, New Mexico is giving up 487.45 yards a game and allowing 41.36 yards a game on the season. Furthermore, the Lobos have only accumulated nine sacks and 45 tackles for loss. By comparison, the Broncos have 18 sacks and 68 tackles for loss on the season.
Defensive Line:
The Lobo defensive line is led by senior defensive end Jaymar Latchison who has 2 sacks on the season and 42 total tackles. The front four for the Lobos have really struggled to get pressure on opposing QB's and are struggling to contain opposing running backs as well giving up 255.82 yards on the ground which is 119th in the nation.
One bright spot for the Lobos this season has been their linebacker play and particularly the play of senior Carmen Messina who leads the team in sacks, tackles, and tackles for loss. Messina is 10th in the nation and first in the MWC in tackles in addition to being a great tackler; he has three sacks and 13 tackles for loss.
Defensive Backs:
The Lobos employ five defensive backs and a 4-2-5 scheme just like the broncos do. The Lobos have only two interceptions on the season and are giving up 231.64 yards a game in the air. 231 yards in the air is one of their best statistical numbers ranking them 64th in the nation. Part of the reason for that is because the Lobos are having a hard time stopping the run so teams continue to pound the ball on them. The Lobos are quite gifted in the secondary but like the offense it has been a tough year and things just haven't come together.
SDSU Total Defense: 375.11 ypg (55th) Vs. BSU Total Offense: 475.33 ypg (15th)
SDSU Pass Defense: 174.22 ypg (10th) Vs. BSU Passing Offense: 298.33 ypg (14th)
SDSU Rushing Defense: 200.89 ypg (102nd) VS. BSU Rushing Offense: 177.00 ypg (43rd)
SDSU Points Allowed: 22.11 ppg (35th) VS. BSU Points Per Game: 42.89 ppg (7th)
New Mexico defense Vs BSU Offense:
Giving up nearly 500 yards a game, the Lobos are going to have a difficult time slowing down the Bronco offense. I would look for the Broncos to have a good day on the ground and throw the ball here and there as needed. The Lobos could completely surprise everybody and get after the Broncos offense for a little bit but I just don't think they have anything left in the tank for that to happen. Boise State should have another good offensive performance with the New Mexico defense not providing much resistance.
New Mexico Special Teams:
The special teams unit for the Lobos is average which means they don't do anything to hurt them, but they don't do anything special to help them either. On the season the lobos are averaging 39.74 yards per punt which is good for 66th in the nation. The Lobos have only attempted 12 field goals this season making only six. The kick return game is probably their best unit as they are averaging a decent 23.61 yards a return but struggle with their punt return game as they have only returned eight punts for 12 yards.
Final Thoughts:
For the last few years, this program has been a mess and has taken some serious beating over that time span. For example, the Lobos have had more than 40 points dumped on them seven times this season and it will probably happen again this Saturday. From the outside it looks like this team can't get the season over with fast enough. Hopefully, Bob Davie can bring some life back into this program and put them back in the top half of the conference which will not only be good for New Mexico but it will be good for the MWC as well.

Why The Funny Face?
There's something about weirdo facial expressions that just make us want to LOL. Especially when they're coming from funny guy, Lucas Cruikshank. This guy was a born comedian! Anyway, we caught him making this wacky scowl and it made us wonder, Why the Funny Face?
Was Lucas scared off by a team of ghosts after leaving the set of Marvin Marvin late one night? Eek! Spooky...
Or maybe he's got a million hours of homework to do! Ouch. That would definitely give us a face of horror.
Or maybe he was riding on a really high roller coaster and is super duper afraid of heights. Don't look down, Lucas!
Okay, okay, so none of these things really happened. Lucas is making this funky expression because he came face to face with... BTR! When James, Carlos, Kendall and Logan crash-landed on set of "Big Time Marvin," they put on one seriously rockin' concert. And when the guys hit the stage, Lucas could barely hold back his tears of excitement! Yup. That's a face of a true Rusher right there.

The Bergen County Bomb Squad and K-9 units were called to the Woodcrest Center Nursing Home on River Road shortly before noon in response to a letter received by the staff Wednesday referencing the recent theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado.
"A letter was sent to the staff in general referencing the recent events in Aurora," Police Chief Frank Papapietro said. "We are taking this very seriously and using every precaution."
According to Papapietro, the letter, addressed to no specific person, contained numerous clippings on the Aurora theater massacre taken from various newspapers and indicated that the person who wrote the letter was in possession of guns, knives and explosives.
According to Papapietro, the "threatening, yet non-specific" handwritten letter was signed, but authorities are not releasing the name or the entire content of the letter. He did say that the postmark on the envelope was "from the area," but added that the location is not being disclosed at this time. He added that the letter was not dated.
The Bergen County OEM, along with the Bergen County Bomb Squad and K-9 Units, were at the scene. The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office of Counterterrorism and the New Jersey State Police Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC) were notified and are assisting with the investigation. Additionally, United States Postal authorities and the Bergen County BCIU forensics are involved.
Members of the bomb squad were scouring the perimeter of the building for any explosive devices, as well as checking the interior areas. The residents of the nursing home are confined to their rooms with staff to allow authorities to perform a thorough check of the facility. A K-9 was also brought inside the building as well.
Editor's note: Chief Papapietro said that authorities found no explosives, guns or knives in or around the building and the lockdown was lifted at approximately 2:45 p.m.

The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen. It is capable of much higher magnifications and has a greater resolving power than a light microscope, allowing it to see much smaller objects in finer detail. They are large, expensive pieces of equipment, generally standing alone in a small, specially designed room and requiring trained personnel to operate them.

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it's essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked, questions like; where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does this mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when the monetary, and financial system, breaks down?

In case you thought you wouldn't be satisfied with the extra hour of Tom Waits' banter from his upcoming live album, fret no more. Now Tom's Orphans, Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards is being reinvented as a limited edition seven-LP vinyl with six new tracks. The album, which classicly highlights Waits' bizarrely wonderful form of storytelling, will come out December 8, and also includes rare gems like Waits covering the likes of The Ramones and Fats Waller. Plainly stated, if you're gearing up for a long winter, this collection added on top of the Glitter and Doom live album should be enough Tom Waits material to get you through. And that's never a bad thing.

GOP Stars Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio Shine at Kemp Award Dinner
Top GOP pols say party needs to better articulate its vision to woo voters.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio addresses the Republican National Convention in August in Tampa, Fla.
Just as the Republican Party is licking its wound from a presidential election loss, two top rising stars offered their vision for a path forward. Delivering speeches Tuesday night at the Jack Kemp Foundation Leadership Award Dinner, former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said the key to electoral success for conservatives is better articulating how their principles can help lift Americans to economic success.
"The election didn't go our way and the Republican Party can't make excuses," Ryan said. "We can't spend the next four years on the sidelines. Instead, we must find new ways to apply our timeless principles to the challenges of today."
[Party's Over: 5 Fading Republican Stars]
The Wisconsin congressman's tone on Tuesday was a marked change from that of his running mate, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. In private comments made public both before and after the election, Romney claimed President Barack Obama's success was based on "gifts" handed out to constituent groups, such as Latinos and youth, and that about 47 percent of voters were not going to vote for him anyway so they were not his concern.
"As it stands, our party excels at representing the aspirations of our nation's risk-takers. But there is another part of the American creed: When our neighbors are struggling, we look out for one another," Ryan said. "We do that best through our families and communities—and our party must stand for making them stronger. We have a compassionate vision based on ideas that work—but sometimes we don't do a good job of laying out that vision. We need to do better."
Ryan, emphasizing that Republicans can offer policies that appeal to voters from the most wealthy to the least, said, "Both parties tend to divide Americans into 'our voters' and 'their voters.' But Republicans must steer far clear of that trap. We must speak to the aspirations and anxieties of every American."
[Poll: Most Will Blame GOP if Deficit Deal Fails]
Rubio, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Cuba, gave more of a policy-heavy speech. He listed Medicare reform, regulatory reform, domestic energy development, health care reform, and education reform as top priorities for lowering the deficit and reviving the American economy.
He even spoke personally about the importance for student loan reform, announcing that he had just paid off his own student loan debt with the proceeds from his autobiography.
"One of the fundamental challenges before us is to find an appropriate and sustainable role for government in closing this gap between the dreams of millions of Americans and the opportunities for them to actually realize them," Rubio said.
Like Ryan, Rubio acknowledged the role that government can have in improving the lives of Americans through assistance programs, but emphasized the need for private sector community engagement in order to overcome the challenges of those suffering.
"Government leaders should take part in, and encourage, a national conversation about the importance of civil society institutions and leaders in creating the social infrastructure needed for success," he said.
[Enjoy: Political Cartoons About the Republican Party]
Rubio ended his remarks with an authentic optimism about America's path forward, citing his own family's journey:
"Our story is not rare in America. But it is rare in the world. Had we been born almost anywhere else, at any other time in history, our lives would have been very different. I would probably have been a very opinionated bartender."
The opportunities Rubio said he took advantage of are still there, if government and citizens work together to optimize them, he added.
"Some say that our problem is that the American people have changed. That too many people want things from government," he said. "But I am still convinced that the overwhelming majority of our people just want what my parents had: a chance."
Ryan and Rubio, thought to be top contenders for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, acknowledged the buzz by joking with each other about good diners in Iowa and New Hampshire, two key states in the nominating process.

Joann Muller, Forbes Staff
I write about industrial innovation and the global auto industry
There's an old saying: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
That goes for people who work in the Glass House, too — the local nickname for the headquarters of Ford Motor just outside Detroit.
That saying came to mind recently after watching a new installment in Ford's current advertising campaign in which Ford customers are surprised to find themselves at the center of what appears to be a news conference. In the spot, which began airing this month, a pretend journalist asks "Chris," apparently a real Ford pickup truck owner, "Was buying American important to you?" Chris' answer couldn't have been better scripted by Ford.
"I wasn't going to buy another car that was bailed out by our government. I was going to buy from a manufacturer that's standing on their own: win, lose, or draw. That's what America is about is taking the chance to succeed and understanding when you fail that you gotta pick yourself up and go back to work. Ford is that company for me."
Take that, GM and Chrysler.
It's the first direct blow delivered by Ford since the two companies emerged from government-managed bankruptcies in the summer of 2009. Until now, Ford had largely avoided any public criticism of its two rivals. In fact, Ford chief executive Alan Mulally sat shoulder to shoulder with GM and Chrysler when they asked Congress for government help so that a collapse of the companies and their suppliers wouldn't take down the entire industry. Now the gloves are off.
But wait a minute. OK, Ford didn't file bankruptcy or get bailed out by Uncle Sam, but didn't it receive $5.9 billion in low-cost government loans in 2009 to overhaul its factories and bring out more fuel-efficient technology? What would have happened to Ford if Congress hadn't authorized taxpayer money to fund that $25 billion Energy Department program during a moment of crisis for the industry?
It's hard to say, of course, but the fact is, with the aid of that taxpayer loan and a well-timed bank loan of $23 billion, Ford managed to tiptoe past the graveyard and avoid bankruptcy. Since then, it has run its business well and reduced its debt from $33.6 billion to $12.2 billion.
So why is Ford taking a cheap shot at GM and Chrysler now, two years after its competitors emerged from bankruptcy?
Could it be that Ford's starting to feel more pressure from a healthier GM and Chrysler? Or that it's worried about a resurgent Toyota, Honda and Nissan, who were hobbled earlier this year by the effects of the Japanese earthquake but are restocking their dealerships in anticipation of a strong fourth quarter sales push?
Let's face it: Ford has gotten a bit of a free pass for the last year or two. There's no doubt it benefited from being the only U.S. carmaker that "didn't take the money." And while its two domestic rivals were down, Ford also picked up market share because Toyota Motor was fighting off complaints of unintended acceleration and other quality recalls in 2010. Then, in 2011, came the devastating natural disaster that all but crippled the Japanese automakers. Other than the Koreans, Ford was practically the only carmaker still standing.
But Ford's momentum looks to be stalling out. In January, the company set a retail market share target (exluding fleet sales) of 14.1 percent or better. So far this year, it's averaging 13.6 percent. While September looks stronger, perhaps because of Ford's annual Truck Event promotion, the carmaker would have to average 15.3 percent retail share in each of the next four months in order to hit a 14.2 percent average for the year. But as the 2012 model year begins, all of Ford's competitors are back on their feet with appealing new vehicles and aggressive sales strategies. They'll all be scraping for every tenth of a point of market share.
Appreciate your work. I am not sure why they are airing this anti-bailout now but if they could increase their production of Explorers, Focus and Fiestas, they could hit their goal. They have a great lineup and the new Fusions and Escapes are going to be really nice. Not sure if anyone pays any attention to those fake news conference commercials anyway.
2 and a half hours of my interview were about the product. That this is the commercial they chose to run does not diminish the product. My Truck is amazing and the technology blows away the Govt Motors you so love. The guy below sums it up best. You appear to be a Hack for GM. And you use facts that you then excuse and say…but but but…for instance you say "Ford took low cost loans"…and then cleverly try t equate loans to a bailout. It is SO disengenuous of you.
Difference: The bank loan was not the tax payer's dime.
A government loan to retool technical efficiency is far different than a bailout to sustain a doomed financial business structure.
Are you a press flack for GM? Why don't you also consider that Ford was put at a disadvantage re GM and Chrysler by the terms of their Government-mandated bailout when those two were allowed to retain their losses for carrying forward to write off against future profits so they won't be paying taxes any time soon? And, GM and Chrysler received preferential wage concessions from the UAW and can't be strike targets. Not quite a level playing field! Yes, the Ford commercials are a little contrived. But don't blame them for assuring that potential customers remember who was bailed out and who was strong enough to stand on their own!
How exactly are they hypocritical? Its a pretty black-and-white issue. Ford did not take a bailout.
You can 'gray' the argument all you want, but then you also have to include the 'gray' areas from the others as well. You have to normalize the argument some where. And the key difference is, as you quote…
Ford "didn't take the money". period.
(I would change the title because it does make you look really biased for other car makers. Which questions the integrity of the article.)
Well said…from jump street this "reporter" is laying the ground work for a dishonest article then has the audacity to cover her tracks at the end…."I REALLY like their products" Well as the guy in the commercial I LOVE the products…and black and white Ford took NO BAILOUT
Your comments are good ones. Except the loan to develop energy efficient technology for all 3 companies, I believe, was a trade-off for higher mileage requirements? And, they didn't receive the money until well after the worst of their crisis. But, you're right that Ford didn't need this ad. Their claim has been stated in the media a billion times already. And, the ad makes them look snarky.
They didn't need this ad only if you are embarrassed by the fact that GM, et al were bailed out. GM* should permanently have an asterisk by its name in the interest of full disclosure that it refused to compete in the American economy and instead turned into a willing apparatus of the US government.
Good history on the events of those days. I do recall now that GM did have a press conference to announce full repayment to the federal government of their loan (in contrast to the banks). More correctly, I think, GM simply closed out the credit line.
I agree that the Ford ad is not a good idea. (What was among the four or five best ideas in Ford's history was Chairman Bill Ford's insight – and the nerve – to hire Mulally as CEO, a decision that will go into the textbooks. There must have been sleepless nights in those days, given the risks.)
As a "writer" I find your comments very telling. Obama could not have written your article more down the "party" line. As you so eloquently say Ford DID NOT take a bailout. Obama GAVE GM over to the Unions, Fired the CEO (unprecedented) and put his own puppet in charge, who a few months later joyfully "claimed" GM had repaid thier loans. Are you a REPORTER or a REPEATER? If you follow more knowledgeable people in the industry you would KNOW that the claim of the Administration is patently FALSE. They STILL owe Billions to Tax Payers of which ZERO interest will be collected. Ford is ABSOLUTELY justified in running this ad. Because you support the Regime is not a reason to disqulify the message that hits home with Millions of Americans. As for the Suppliers. If GM and Chrysler were allowed to go into BK the Free Market would have taken care of this. You CANNOT in good faith say for certain you KNOW the OEMs would have gone out of business. Would it have possibly been more painful in the short term? Yes Would GM and Chrysler still be making cars today MORE Profitably? YES, and under different ownership than the Government. Would the Unions have had to make concessions to stay in the mix? Yes Ohhh maybe that is the reason this all happened. What was Mulally supposed to say given the Political Environment. Lastly an economic lesson for you. Loan, Govt backed or not, repaid WITH interest does not equal a Tax Payer Funded Bailout.
A LOAN is NOT a BAILOUT…your Obama Approved story line is tired and a LIE…
Joann, correct my understanding….GM took a loan and a bailout, is this correct? GM paid off thier loans but have they paid off the bailout money yet?
Thank you….nice article, too.
Ford has had lousy engines in its trucks as compared with Toyota and GM, with GM being the best in performance and gas mileage. Meanwhile, Ford, playing its game of not ever putting money into improving a product (Some products were good to start with, like the Taurus, but lost its market when Ford never improved it) got to the point where it could not even sell a car, the truck market holding it up. This is why the European genius was brought in.
So for Ford now to use low class comments about GM and Chrysler, when both were victims of the UAW settlements by agreeing to strike terms to avoid big sales losses, is very hypocritical. Ford has to sell automobiles to survive, Trucks are being ruined by the government CAFE standards and GM is positioned best in new technology. It will be interesting……
Ford would be better served if customers tied the auto bailout with February's Chevrolet Volt 400 disaster, a touchy subject for GM … http://placeitonluckydan.com/2011/05/nascar-pulls-plug-on-chevrolet-volt-400/
Now that GM was "bailed out", and they paid their bail out back, I'm still waiting for my "check in the mail". They still owe me $40,000 for the fact that they continually refused to honor their 75,000 mile warrranty on the fully loaded lemon they sold me. Tried everything, but my state's AG was busy with many other things that he was continually busy with, while he was NYS Governor. So, GM, how about it? email@example.com
I agree with jfb1. No one has even considered how GM or Chrysler will pay back their "loans" and "bailout" from the feds. I am glad that Ford is promoting it in their adds. While the big three have had trouble in the past it seems like Ford is the only manufacturer in the past 10 years to weather through trouble after trouble and not go crying like a big baby to the federal government asking for cash until it was going to be affected by the other big manufacturers. What we should've done back in 2009 was bail out GM and Chrysler and then fire all the management and UAW for failure to make business decisions that benefit the company and employees and not shareholders. Instead our government writes a blank check to the CEO's and says "go save your company from collapse". I'm more pissed that our government can write out billions of dollars to save the financial and auto industries but when it comes to the actual consumer/worker we have to kick them in the face by taking the brunt of poor legislation in both the healthcare and consumer finance industries. Ford has a right to promote their add and should do so until every cent from GM and Chrysler owes is paid back with interest.

Employing and Evaluating Your Collaborative Learning Initiative
On September 2, The Human Capital Lab presented the webinar titled "Effectively Implementing and Measuring Collaborative Learning." During the presentation we explored our experience with a collaborative learning solution and addressed participant questions, but we did not get to all of the interesting points and intriguing questions contributed by the learning leaders in attendance. I'd like to touch on three.
First, there were several questions about determining an organization's collaborative learning maturity. I'm not familiar with a model that specifically addresses collaborative learning; however, the American Productivity and Quality Center (APQC) has developed a Knowledge Management Maturity framework. As we discussed during the webinar, collaborative learning and knowledge management are closely related. The Human Capital Lab is a member of APQC and we found their model to be helpful in determining the maturity of our use of social media. The model includes initiating, developing, standardizing, optimizing, and innovating.
The next topic I'd like to cover is ways to support the adoption of a collaborative learning initiative. As I shared, it is often necessary to incentivize use until your system reaches a tipping point. Eventually there will be enough resources and people in the system that you won't have to push usage – people will pull membership. To get to that point, we used a variety of techniques. Many platforms offer social equity titles, which motivate some users. We offered small prizes and recognition for the best peer-selected contribution. Anecdotal success stories encouraged participation and suggested innovative uses.

The Injuries
Eddie Smith, a paramedic in Dothan, arrived at Blackmon's mobile home at around 9:30 p.m. and found Dominiqua lying on the floor of the master bedroom -- she was wearing only a diaper and blood-soaked socks, was covered in vomit, and she was not breathing. There was a large bump on her forehead and blood on her chest. After the paramedics attempted to revive her, she was transported to Flowers Hospital Emergency Room where she died shortly thereafter.
Two doctors examed Dominiqua and found that she had multiple bruises and contusions and an imprint of the sole of a shoe on her chest as well as scars from previous injuries.
The Autopsy
Included in the 30 separate injuries found on her body, the medical examiner Dr. Alfredo Parades, found bruises on the front part of her lower chest and upper abdomen and around the right groin. She had also suffered a fractured leg.
He also found that Dominiqua had two broken bones and many other injuries that were in various stages of healing.
The Shoe Print
Another discovery found on Dominiqua was an imprint of the sole of a shoe on her chest that was so clearly defined that it was captured in a photograph taken by the doctor.
The Trial
Dr. James Downs, chief medical examiner for the State of Alabama, testified that he compared the sandals Blackmon was wearing on the day of the murder with the scanned image of the victim's chest, and it was his opinion that the imprint on Dominiqua's chest was consistent with the sole of the sandals.
Downs also testified that it was his opinion that Dominiqua's recent injuries were consistent with having been made by a pool cue.
Along with the medical findings there was testimony that Blackmon had adopted Dominiqua approximately nine months before she was killed. Testimony also showed that Blackmon had sole charge of the child from the time her father-in-law saw the two of them earlier on the evening of the murder until the time of the child's death.
Wayne Johnson, Blackmon's father-in-law, testified that on the night Dominiqua was killed he saw Dominiqua and she was playing and acting normal. He said that Blackmon and Dominiqua left his house at around 8:00 p.m.
A search of Blackmon's mobile home revealed several blood-splattered items. Forensic tests revealed the presence of blood on a broken pool cue, a child's T-shirt, a pink flat bed sheet, a quilt, and two napkins. The blood matched Dominiqua's blood.
Blackmon's Defense
In her defense, Blackmon said that the child was injured when she fell off of the bed. Blackmon called several witnesses to testify in her defense. Judy Whatley, an employee of the Department of Human Resources, said that she had had contact with Dominiqua and Blackmon once a month for five months before August 1998 and that she noticed that the two had a good relationship. Tammy Freeman, Blackmon's neighbor, testified that she frequently left her children with Blackmon.
The jury convicted Blackmon of capital murder. A separate sentencing hearing was held, at which the State relied on the aggravating circumstance that the murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel to support a death sentence. After the sentencing hearing the jury, by a vote of 10 to 2, recommended that Blackmon be sentenced to death.
In August 2005, Blackmon appealed to the court that her crimes were not deserving of the death penalty because she believed that Dominiqua was knocked unconscious before being beaten and so therefor her crime was not heinous or cruel. Her appeal was turned down.
Patricia Blackmon now sits on death row at Tutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka, Alabama.

Middle school robotics program gets $5,500 boost
- Last Updated on 04:56 PM 10/17/13
- BY Ashley Hodge
Tad Deriso, president and CEO of Mid-Atlantic Broadband, and Greg Lytz, vice president of Mid-Atlantic Broadband, announced Tuesday their gift of $5,500 to the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation for the Halifax County Middle School Lego Robotics program.
Deriso and Lytz, alongside President of HCPS Education Foundation Coleman Speece, HCPS Education Foundation Executive Director Audrey Davidson, HCPS Education Foundation Treasurer Tay Bost, HCMS Principal Faye Bruce and Superintendent Dr. Merle Herndon gave this news to instructor Regan Priest and a sixth grade Lego Robotics class at 2 p.m.
The funds given will be used to replace Lego Robotics equipment that is currently outdated and for which replacement parts are no longer available.
According to Davidson, the seventh graders will be given the robotics that the eighth graders are currently using, and the eighth graders will be given newer logo robotic equipment.
Priest said this gift will allow him to purchase new Lego Mindstorms Evolution 3 kits that will directly affect an average of 100 eighth graders each year and indirectly affect an average of 100 seventh graders per year.
Davidson said, "I hope this will trigger feedback that will eventually lead to reinstating the Lego Robotics Program at Halifax County High School."

Once lauded by John Lennon as his "favorite group," singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson had a long and rewarding music career marked by such hits as 1969's "Everybody's Talkin.'" Now, for the first time since it was recorded in 1967, Nilsson's cover of the Coasters' classic "Searchin'" is seeing the light of day. Nilsson's version trades the classic R&B vocals for a slightly faster-paced rock delivery, accompanied by guitar, bass, drums and lively piano.
Random Notes: Hottest Rock Pictures
"Searchin'," along with other previously unreleased songs, will appear on the new Harry Nilsson box set The RCA Albums Collection, available July 30th on RCA/Legacy Recordings.
