Why Your Team Should Do a Code Review on a Regular Basis
Oct 21st, 2015 7:38 pm
While working with any system we have to take into account so many aspects that even armed with the best tooling and extensive test suites we cannot guarantee 100% (but surely we can plan and minimize the risks) that the development/maintenance cost of our software will not exceed the amount of profit it generates.
And to minimize the risks and costs we have to follow the best practices, methodologies and techniques. My personal approach to aforementioned good practices is very pragmatic - if something proved that it could be used to simplify the life of the team we’ll use it. And one of that things that are often underestimated or neglected is a code (or peer) review.
In software development, peer review is a type of software review in which a work product (document, code, or other) is examined by its author and one or more colleagues, in order to evaluate its technical content and quality.
What Are The Benefits Of Doing A Code Review?
The main intent of the code review is to identify source code defects and quality issues. Another big advantage is a knowledge transfer. This is maybe the least expected outcome of the code review process. I personally observed lots of cases when reviewers were giving links and citing some external resources in their comments. That additional resources were helping author to get deeper into details, see the issue from different angles and as a result produce better code.
For those who like numbers I recommend to read a study by Bacchelli A. and Bird C. Expectations, outcomes, and challenges of modern code review that characterizes the motivations of developers and managers for code review and compares it with actual results.
Also Steve McConnell gives enough facts of code review effectiveness in Code Complete:
Technical reviews have been studied much longer than pair programming, and their results, as described in case studies and elsewhere, have been impressive:
IBM found that each hour of inspection prevented about 100 hours of related work (testing and defect correction) (Holland 1999).
Raytheon reduced its cost of defect correction (rework) from about 40 percent of total project cost to about 20 percent through an initiative that focused on inspections (Haley 1996).
Hewlett-Packard reported that its inspection program saved an estimated $21.5 million per year (Grady and Van Slack 1994).
Imperial Chemical Industries found that the cost of maintaining a portfolio of about 400 programs was only about 10 percent as high as the cost of maintaining a similar set of programs that had not been inspected (Gilb and Graham 1993).
A study of large programs found that each hour spent on inspections avoided an average of 33 hours of maintenance work and that inspections were up to 20 times more efficient than testing (Russell 1991).
In a software-maintenance organization, 55 percent of one-line maintenance changes were in error before code reviews were introduced. After reviews were introduced, only 2 percent of the changes were in error (Freedman and Weinberg 1990). When all changes were considered, 95 percent were correct the first time after reviews were introduced. Before reviews were introduced, under 20 percent were correct the first time.
A group of 11 programs were developed by the same group of people, and all were released to production. The first five were developed without reviews and averaged 4.5 errors per 100 lines of code. The other six were inspected and averaged only 0.82 errors per 100 lines of code. Reviews cut the errors by over 80 percent (Freedman and Weinberg 1990).
Capers Jones reports that of all the software projects he has studied that have achieved 99 percent defect-removal rates or better, all have used formal inspections. Also, none of the projects that achieved less than 75 percent defectremoval efficiency used formal inspections (Jones 2000).
How It Is Working?
The typical code review process is following:
Author of change generates a patch and sends it to the code review system
Author invites his teammates to review the code
Code review participants are adding comments and suggestions on code improvement
Author either follows the suggestions and updates the code or rejects them
The code review is updated by author and a new review iteration is started
When all debates around the change are finished the code review is approved and the change is merged into the repository.
Code review is often supported by tools preferably integrated into the development environment. If you are working alone there is a site where you can ask for a peer programmer code review - Code Review. As like on a Stack Overflow this site has an army of active members that would happily help you no matter what language or technology you are using.
There are also a plenty of tools available on a market starting from aforementioned SO site to TFS support and integrated code review tooling inside GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and other OSS collaboration platforms.
If you are looking for how you can improve the state of the codebase and/or development process in general start practicing code review on daily basis.
Surely if the team never practiced code review before it would be harder to start but as Laozi said “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. And I wish you to succeed!

Lockheed wins $248M NASA contract for low-boom supersonic jet | AeroTime
DAILY NEWSLETTER | 04 April 2018
Half of European flights delayed after Eurocontrol system failure
Passengers across Europe suffered disruptions on April 3, 2018, after the failure of a flight plan processing system at European network manager Eurocontrol, affecting around half of the day’s flights and several major airports in the continent. Eurocontrol has since fixed the problem and assured it posed no safety risks.

Some political notes as well
Hey, if you have any interest in being in a fantasy baseball league, go make a comment on this post.
Colby Cosh weighs in on the Danish cartoon fiasco zeroing in on the outrageous demand that a belief system be excluded from analysis.
Ann Coulter's column this week deals with the Danish Cartoon crisis. If you're reading this in subsequent weeks Ann's webpage wouldn't show it, so I'm hoping this Yahoo link has some legacy to it. Highlight of the column: "Muslims ought to start claiming the Quran also prohibits indoor plumbing, to explain their lack of it."
Ohh, we've heard over and over and over again how "images of Mohammed" are not allowed in Islam. Well, somebody decided to show how bunk that was: here is a collection of images of Mohammed that didn't result in massive protests. The images range from this picture from 1315 on file at the University of Edinburgh to Mohammed in the South Park episode "Super Best Friends". So Muslims everywhere can officially shut the #$&@%^$ up, okay?!
You may remember hearing that 3 "extra" images were passed off as Danish cartoons, including this weird looking thing. Well, Neander News was on the case, and has determined that its a bad photocopy of a photograph of Jacques Barrot, a Frenchman who won a pig squealing competition. Damn those Muslims are touchy. But we all knew that already.
The big political news in Canada is that Stephen Harper has decided to break about 66 promises at once by having his very own Belinda (though admittedly one who's far less of a whore, and his own Doug Roche. While the Liberals obviously are silent on it, conservatives across Canada [all 600 of us? -ed] are having wild debates about whether to stick to principles or support Harper's abandonment of them to possibly further the long-term conservative cause. My own opinion is a linear combination of the two, but my primary thought is this: there was a better way to handle this all.
Like the U.S. Vice Presidency, the Canadian Parlimentary Cabinet is not (as commonly believed) available only to people from a certain party. Harper is more than welcome to choose cabinet members from other caucuses, and in most nations a minority government is generally expected to do so. In other words, when Emerson asked to join the Conservatives (if that is indeed the timeline), Harper should have said no. And then selected Emerson to cabinet anyways. If you do the speech properly and put the proper initial spin on it, the story will take the form you want it to, and you can spin that form very well. Imagine, if you will....
David Emerson is not our first choice for International Trade Minister, nor is he our first choice for Minister for the Vancouver-Whistler Olympics. For the former, we would have preferred Calgary MP Diane Ablonczy and for the latter we much would have preferred Cindy Silver, our candidate in the North Vancouver riding this election. However, the people of Vancouver did not elect Cindy nor any of our other top-notch candidates in her city, and we do require a cabinet member to be able to provide liason services and overseeing of federal efforts in the run-in to the Olympics, and we cannot wait another two-to-five years for another general election in the hopes of Conservative representation. As well, it is only fair that our cabinet reach out to the other parties as is expected in a minority government in every other western democracy. Due to the small size of our cabinet and the concern we feel over corruption within the Liberal Party, in our first cabinet we are limiting this position to only one man, The Honourable David Emerson. David has previous experience as a cabinet minister which will be invaluable to the learning curve of our MPs who have spent their political careers in opposition. As well, David is from the City of Vancouver which as I have already stated requires cabinet representation due to Olympic requirements. Though Mr. Emerson has in the past been highly critical of our party, he does come from the Liberal's right wing and therefore on at least some issues can have common ground with the rest of our party and the five million Canadians who voted for us. For all of these reasons I am here to justify to you the selection of a Liberal member from the opposition benches to join us in cabinet. Mr. Emerson will not, however, be sitting with our caucus. He has not joined our party, and while I do not believe it to be appropriate for him to criticize the decisions our cabinet will make, I will be listening to his input during cabinet meetings in which he will take part. Unlike the Paul Martin minority government, our party plans to reach out to opposition members with whom we can find common ground. When I took over the Canadian Alliance leadership it was thought impossible to build bridges with the Conservatives, yet we proved it wrong. And now I am here to build bridges again, laying the foundation for a limited yet fair coalition with MPs from all the other parties who share our concern for a new era in Ottawa free of graft and corruption, free of the Chretien/Martin democratic deficit, and free of excessive government. To this end Liberal MP David Emerson has been invited to join our cabinet, an invitation to which he has accepted and I hope will set the tone for our 39th Parliament. I dream that one day this session can be looked upon as the session where everything changed for the better, where debates can take place along ideological lines rather than purely partisan ones, and where the people of this great nation can finally feel that they have a say in the way the country is run.
Of course, on the matter of the appointed Senator there's no advice I can give...that one was completely indefensible.
Mike Jenkinson wondered in the SUN this week whither the NDP. Oddly enough, "Jenks" was against the United Alternative. At least, he was. Of course, lots of people who were against it are no longer quite so upset with it. Naturally an NDP supporter was quick to call him on the column in the SUN today. But the main thrust was the SUNshine girls. You know, the comment staff must hate them: they attract such reader opinions that every once and a while flare up and overtake the columnists themselves.
Lavalife is running a "Singles Week" contest that includes a trip to the Dominican Republic. Sweet. All you have to do is send (free) smiles or (hideously expensive) emails. Hell, I can do that. So after about 300 smiles sent, I think I've got a rough chance of winning (rough = practically zero, of course, but hey if its free). Now bear in mind that women who send a smile back at me get their own entry, so the smiles are more likely to flow now than when there's no contest. How many smiles have I received back over the past 12 hours? Two. Two tiny miserable smiles. For crying out loud, are women just that uninterested in me that they literally won't flirt with me even when there are prizes available to be won for flirting, and no actual communication with me is necessary? That's really really sad.
Holt Renfrew gift certificates are alternate prizes. Not only are there a paltry number of male fashions to choose from versus the female fashions (its an e-gift card, so I assume its only on internet purchases), but the male fashions are for the most part unbelieveably chauchy or slightly gay. They might as well have a splash page reading "Non-Metrosexuals not permitted within the premises". And are those two pages the only online male fashions I could get? Geesh, hope I don't win 2nd place! (Sidebar: the gay sweater itself costs $300 more than the $500 ecard)
My apartment is almost cleaned up for the most dreaded of all bachelor-living phenomenon: the mother's visit. Yes, my mother is up in the city to buy a new computer, so I'm helping her with that. Of course, Wal-Mart and Save-On-Foods happen to be close by where we're going, but that's a total coincidence.... [likewise the total coincidence of being out of milk/bread/sour cream/pasta/dish soap/kleenex/batteries -ed]
As the comments to this post have mentioned, Edmonton comedian Lars C. has moved his blog to a new location. He does his own mini-review of the Sunday "headlining" show that I attended. Bonus feature: a picture featuring the adorable yet a little too raunchy for my tastes Kathleen McGee
Between Kim's western Saskatchewan and the long-standing campaign in Prince George to move the Alberta border to incorporate their area (no link, but was covered in Alberta Report once), it seems like the Republic of Alberta could within days of incorporation expand its territory considerably through a means never before used in geopolitical history: pleading.

Yeah, but video games have too many sequels...
If you watch American Idol then you might enjoy the twins'...er...twins... from an old Maxim shoot. Well, okay, watching American Idol probably only diminishes your enjoyment of these images. And since looking at pretty girls in revealing clothing is always fun, here's Henin-Hardenne, the French woman who beat Sharapova at the Austrailian Open. Also be sure to check out Sara from Edmonton, one of UMM's featured babes (and check out the other babes too, go ahead). Other fun photos include two girls flashing at Edmonton Police HQ, some people having fun at an Eskimos bus trip party, a photo shoot of local girls, girls from Edmonton's Powerama show in April 2005, and this pic which I picked out as the highlight from the Mode Models page...the Portland girls are better. Did I miss the 2004 Edmonton Sex Show archives? I don't think so!
Finally, this Wikipedia article says "Some sociology researchers dispute the existence of puck bunnies" which means, as Douglas Adams once wrote, they just don't get invited to those kind of parties. After all, a puck bunny graces the links to this site. And how else do you explain the wives of the Edmonton Oilers?

A moderately non-scientific explanation of the infamous "racism study"
You probably vaguely remember this study from around New Year's:
While people would clearly condemn racism in advance, the majority of non-black people would sit mute and indifferent as blatant acts of anti-black racism occurred before them, according to the Toronto research, published today in the journal Science.
"People expect in a very deliberate fashion that they'll be offended by racism, that they'll censor or avoid racists," said York psychologist Kerry Kawakami, the lead author of the study.
"But our (research) showed that that's not the case when they're actually placed in that situation."
Indeed, while paying strident lip service to their anti-racist attitudes, most of the study's non-black subjects did not try to rebuke or even avoid a mock bigot who had been planted in their midst.
Well that sounds serious. But as with all things, the methodology is important. First off, lets take a break and look at a different study: showing that men consider women to be mere "objects". The Daily Telegraph explains the study:
Researchers scanned the brains of certain men as they looked at a photograph of a woman in a bikini and discovered that sections of the brain that usually reacted to objects lit up.
With men, who were known to have sexist tendencies, they also discovered that a part of the brain that usually turned on during social interaction actually de-activated when they saw the photograph.
Professor Susan Fiske, of Princeton University, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting that she believes that the results show that some men did not see sexualised women as a "human".
"I am not saying that they literally see them as an object, of course they know she is human," she said.
"But what the brain scans show is that they are reacting to this photograph as people react to objects. It is as if they are not fully human.
"They are not treating them as fully three dimensional humans."
Which prompted the now semi-famous quip from blogger Kathy Shaidle: photographs are objects.
So now lets go back to the methodology of our racism study:
For the study, researchers placed three students in a classroom, one white, one black, and one white or Asian. And while two of the students – the black and one white – were in on the scheme, the third believed they were all there waiting for a study to begin.
"Then the black person stands up and says `I forgot my cellphone,' and he walks out of the room. And as he walks out, he gently hits the other white person on the knee," Kawakami said. When the black person left the room, the white person turned to the other person and said something racist – "in some cases extremely racist," she said.
Despite using terms as offensive as "clumsy n----r," the planted bigot faced little or no reprisal from the majority of white subjects.
Indeed, said Kawakami, when asked subsequently to pick a partner for the purported study, some 63 per cent of the white students picked the bigot over the black.
The racist comments had such little impact, said Kawakami, that the same number of subjects chose the white person in corresponding experiments where the slurs were absent.
A control group of "forecaster" students, who faced no racist comments but were told of the experiment, predicted overwhelmingly that they would be offended and would lash out at the speaker.
The MSM have a lot of trouble summarizing scientific experiments, as that last paragraph demonstrates. Some piece of information is missing there, as these "forecasters" as depicted aren't a control group at all: a control group is how they react with a general non-racist complaint against the black guy. Something there isn't adding up, but for now lets just accept the first bit as given to us.
So you're in a room, and right in front of you a minority commits an offense against the other participant (ie. the actor). Said participant complains about the offense (in this case, bumping into somebody) using a racist term. So was this racism? Or perhaps was it something else... something less sinister and more conventional?
Let me relate this with a story from my workplace. We are a pretty non-diverse group. Sure we have black, hispanic, and Newfie employees (we used to have an asian, but he got a better job -- and yes we are dragging the bottom of the barrel to include Newfies as a race), but they're mostly old fat bald men with a bum knee. So we have the fat black guy with a bad knee, the fat Newfie with a bad knee, and a few fat white guys with a bad knee. There's a chunky hispanic guy too, but I think his knees are fine. Not a perfect thesis, I admit. But here's the deal: we actually have two hispanic guys at work: one of them is an extremely hard worker who does a very very very undesirable job with extreme speed/skill/devotion. The other doesn't do his job well (if at all), he pretends to have language barriers whenever its convenient for him, he runs crying to the boss if anybody so much as rolls their eyes at him, he is always too busy to do the less agreeable aspects of his job (forcing other employees to take time away from our jobs to pick up his slack) and all the while acting as if his shit doesn't stink and that he's some critical cog in the great wheel of my place of employment. In other words, he's a lazy Mexican. (technically he's from Ecuador, but we don't let that get in the way of our racist taunts of him).
Therein lies the rub, as they say. Quite often at work, people will describe him as a "lazy Mexican". The black guy calls him a lazy Mexican... even the other hispanic guy did it once! (Don't get me started on the Newfie). The reason for it is, I think, the same reason as the pariticpants in the study didn't react poorly to the "racism" exhibited in the study. Racism, as one traditionally understood it, isn't at play here. What is at play is that when we perceive and/or witness somebody doing something antisocial or otherwise objectionable, we assault and belittle them with every weapon at our disposal. (It is vital to note that neither the black guy nor the other hispanic guy are ever the recipient of racially charged assaults. They both act properly, in the sense that they show up for work, do their jobs, take the blame when they mess up and only take the credit when its deserved. We have no reason to be upset with them.)
So the black guy who bumps into the knee of a guy at the study (bad) to get his annoying cell phone (bad) and possibly disrupts a serious academic study (bad) is a "clumsy nigger". The hispanic guy who doesn't do his job properly (bad) and causes everybody else to take on more unpaid work (bad) is a "lazy Mexican". The asian woman who last summer sat right here on the St. Albert Trail/Yellowhead off ramp (bad. very bad. why the hell would you not pull forward so that people driving straight in the through lane could get by?) with her left hand signal on waiting for an unrealistically large gap in traffic is a "shitty Chinese driver". The superficially-pious Catholic who takes the last cookie at that family reunion (bad) is the "self-righteous Jesus freak". The sodomite who is, well, a sodomite (bad) is a "fucking faggot".
Racism doesn't factor into it at all. What factors into it is that when you're mad at somebody you don't like them for everything that they are. Chris Farley is a funny guy. That guy at work who feels the need to butt into your conversations with a witless remark is "an unfunny fat fuck". (Yes, bad language is a common thread in the circles I run).
If they really want to do something, they should have ran the study with another group where the black guy didn't do anything except get up and leave the room (ideally when asked by a researcher to come with them), and then have the other actor make a racist comment for no apparent reason (ie. "I can't believe I have to take a study with a nigger"). Then you might see your sought-after rebukes: after all, what did the black dude do to deserve the treatment? That's right nothing...clearly you are in the presence of a bigot.
The "racism study" merely told you what you probably already knew: when you are upset with somebody, nothing about them is sacred when it comes time to be very very very pissed off at the annoying nigger who hit you in the leg just to get his goddamned cellphone.

Change of use and refurbishment of the existing building on Belgrade riverfront is our first project complete. It was derelict when we started and our client wanted cloud-like impression form the new interior. We thought that existing structure from seventies was extraordinary and have focused on the ceiling to get new looks and reorganize existing space.
The building named Danube Flower was built some thirty-five years ago to become a landmark at Belgrade waterfront. It used to house an exclusive restaurant which was a segment of a larger recreational centre accessible to the public. The project was sponsored by the communist government of the time and endorsed by then ubiquitous president J.B.Tito, who was the first guest at the restaurant on November 22nd 1973. It was a famed hangout spot until its decay in the nineties and its final closure which coincided with the start of the civil war in the country. For the period of fifteen years building was not in operation and has deteriorated considerably.
In many ways the building is particular but above all for its synthesis between architectural and structural reasoning. The main volume of the building, triangular in plan, is elevated some fifteen meters above the river and the ground level with the pedestrian esplanade. It is supported solely by the central core which contains two elevator shafts and double spiral staircase.
Cantilevers are reaching out some twelve meters giving a levitating feel to the building. In addition one more structural move is crucial for seamless interaction between exterior and interior of the building. Concrete floor-slab and ceiling shell are not connected at the perimeter of the building, allowing for the continuity of the glass facade to the full extent. Uninterrupted glass strip, with the total length of 150 meters, is wrapping around the building to give constant presence of the Danube River in the interior, with sweeping views reaching far out, both upstream and downstream.
Originally, building was planed on the grid of 7.3m equilateral triangles which defined its organizational and structural regularity, but with the different brief now we were looking for a change. Defining moment of the new spatial expression is the ceiling. Its design is the sequence of geometric transformations and subdivision applied to the original grid. As a result, approximately 390 backlit panels with the finite variation in shape and size are suspended from the triangular steel construction.
Click on the OPTION button to explore differences between the three ceiling configurations considered.
The idea was to create light and spacious space so that visitors should be getting an impression of entering a cloud on arrival. In response we have opted for reflective resin floor finishes throughout and semi translucent ceiling; both aiming to expose sleek forms of Technogym training equipment in the open plan arrangement.

New Seattle history, mostly
Soule House, now and 1899
Published February 3, 2020 by Rob Ketcherside
The photos are taken in Seattle on Broadway looking northeast to James. The archival photo is from University of Washington Special Collections, number SEA3080.
Rob Ketcherside, top; UW Special Collections SEA3080, bottom
In the October 2019 photo on the left we can see East James Way cutting away right to the east. That street wasn’t built until ordinance 88400 in 1959.
Back in 1899 there was a bit of a gap already though, for James Street. James Street is still there, more of a small access road than anything else, same as Cherry Street east of Broadway.
Union Trunk
On the far left of the old photo we can just see part of the James Street Power House. It pulled a cable car up from Pioneer Square and provided electricity for street cars on Broadway to the north, to Beacon Hill to the south, and from its lower end on 11th to Madrona and Mount Baker. You can see the Beacon Hill tracks in the street.
All of those lines together were called the Union Trunk Line still in 1899. I did a blended rephotograph of the cable car on James and wrote about UTL for Capitol Hill Seattle Blog in 2012.
J. P. Soule
The tall thin house to the left was the residence of the Soule family. It was built in 1889 or 1890. To its right was a duplex they built after they moved to 23rd and Judkins in 1900. John Soule was a photographer, and in fact he took this photo. The UW has an entire album of his photos from around 1900. The UW catalog description says:
John P. Soule worked as a photographer in Boston from around 1859 until 1882 when he traveled west photographing in Colorado and Utah along the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad and in Salt Lake City. In 1888, he moved to Seattle where he continued to work as a photographer.
That profile downplays his Boston work and completely ignores Soule’s true fame. First, consider that Soule was born in 1828. Daguerreotypes were invented when he was 11. Photography as a profession arose after 1850, when he was already an adult. Somehow, though, he still “dominated the field of stereography from the 1860s until the end of the 1870s,” in the words of Historic New England.
He opened his photography studio in Boston in 1861, when he was 33. He focused on things that stayed still, becoming an architectural and art photographer. His photographs of the aftermath of the 1866 fire in Portland, Maine are eerily similar to those he later took in Seattle in 1889. But Soule found his niche photographing famous works of art and sharing it with people who could never venture long distances to see the originals.
Ad in December 5, 1882 Salt Lake Herald.
Soule art photography
Soule established himself quickly, issuing catalogs of art photographs that could be ordered by mail. The Library of Congress has many of those photographs for free download today.
Twenty years later he left Boston and headed west, leaving his successful photograph reproduction business in the hands of his brother William, also a photographer, and their partner W. B. Everett. The company continued its focus on art photography, for example this 1890 catalog of their offerings. The Soule Photograph Company’s images are now in the collections of Historic New England.
“Emancipation”, a painting by G. G. Fish featuring two freed slaves looking up at Columbia, the embodiment of American freedom, holding the Emancipation Proclamation. Abraham Lincoln’s speech was delivered January 1, 1863. Soule photographed this painting later that year and sold prints. (Library of Congress)
Soule rephotography
John P. Soule spent at least a few years in Salt Lake City, from 1882-1885. Then he continued to Seattle.
Soule’s Seattle work is still accessible. Paul Dorpat shared it in his early columns, including 1987’s “After the Blaze”. More recently Jean Sherrard shared Soule again in 2017 in the continuation of Dorpat’s series. They have appeared many times over the years in Now & Then. I had no idea about this when I set out to rephotograph the house of John P. Soule, and it makes me very happy.
After John’s death, his wife Mary continued her civic activities, including president of the women’s auxiliary of Pioneer Association of Washington.
On the far right of the 1899 scene is a grocery, which by 1901 at least was owned by Eide & Offerdahl. In 1940 this store reportedly became the first Seattle location for Planned Parenthood, and Seattle’s first birth control clinic.
The name Planned Parenthood took effect in 1942, so at the time they were the local organization for Birth Control Federation of America (renamed from American Birth Control League in 1939).
None of those names appear in the 1940 Seattle city directory, so I haven’t yet confirmed that Planned Parenthood’s first home was here. I’m concerned that it may have been at 516 Broadway East in Capitol Hill.
Still not Capitol Hill
The 1899 photo is indexed by the UW under the subject heading “Capitol Hill (Seattle, Wash.)”. I dropped them a note in October letting them know this is really First Hill, but it hasn’t been corrected yet. Capitol Hill didn’t exist yet in 1899, and it’s only ever existed this far south in the minds of realtors, newcomers, and tourists.
The new photo has 600 Broadway on the far left, a medical office building built in 1990.
Most of the frame is taken by Zig Apartments, completed in 2017.
Streetcar tracks have returned again to Broadway, serving the First Hill Streetcar which opened after a very long wait in 2016.
Between now and then
Prior to Zig there was another building and a parking lot on the site. The building was photographed on July 21, 2010 by Joe Mabel, seen below. It was built in 1906 originally known as the Granada Apartments. In 1936 it was renamed Hotel Irvington.
“Seattle – SE corner of James & Broadway”, Joe Mabel, 2010. Wikipedia
The corner, 530 Broadway, featured a branch of Yasuko’s Teriyaki. It was there for many decades until demolition. For now the Yelp review page is still up, but I’ll link to Archive.org assuming that it won’t be there for long. Click through to read nostalgic reviews.
Yasuko’s was originally part of a chain created by Yasuko Conner. Yasuko started her chain by purchasing the store she worked at in Green Lake, Toshi’s Two. That store was the second opened by Toshihiro Kasahara. He invented teriyaki in 1972 at his lower Queen Anne store. So there was a very direct connection between this teriyaki store and the invention of teriyaki.
(A 1985 Seattle Times article called this her “Capital Hill” (sic) location.)
Fenimore Hotel
Joe Mabel took two other photos the same day of the building on the far side of the parking lot, the Fenimore Hotel. There is a view from the parking towards the south and a view of the storefront when it held Our Lady of Mount Carmel Center.
Granada and Fenimore on Broadway in 1912 Baist Map, via Paul Dorpat and Ron Edge
The Fenimore Hotel was built in 1909 by Marie Koester. A Seattle Times article that mentioned Koester’s Fenimore construction discussed recent construction in the area. It also had a neighborhood profile that was interesting and worth sharing:
An unwritten Law, and a deep-rooted predjudice [sic] of long standing in Seattle has been routed. Daring men have broke the ties that bound them and have proven the unwritten law unworthy. This law and this predjudice had the effect of establishing Madison Street as a dead-line beyond which investors intending to cater to the better classes of people dare not venture. Ruin was predicted for the man who was so bold as to put good money into a building in this so-called worse than bad community.
The south side of First Hill was the most maligned part of the city, without cause, but it has grown away from that condition and now harbors some of the finest apartment houses of the city which shelter a class of people as good as the best.
“Builders Overcome Old Prejudice,” July 4, 1909 Seattle Times p. 6
Japanese American hotel to microhousing
In 1939 the Seattle Times reported that the Fenimore was purchased from Koester’s estate by George Lewis. In 1959 it made brief news in the Seattle Times as it was sold to Leo Ohashi (misprinted as Hashi) by owners Yoshito and Yuki Mizuto. At the time William Watanabe held a lease on operating the hotel.
King County Assessor photo of Fenimore Hotel in 2018 prior to expansion construction start.
The Ohashi family continued to own it until 2017. It was then purchased by a partnership owned by the Sharkey and Padden families. Their partnership previously purchased the Cranmore, Summit Inn, and Broadmore in nearby neighborhoods and converted them to micro-housing. They planned to do the same with Roy Vue Apartments in Capitol Hill, but residents successfully achieved landmark status for that building.
Today the Fenimore is under expansion and remodeling as micro-housing called Anew Broadway.

THE MISSION AND THE BOAT
THE SHEPHERD AND SOME CHURCH ELDERS
A UNIQUE WORSHIP STYLE
Once upon a time, there was a Parish at 71st and Elberhart avenue on the South side and another one at Irving Park and Damen Avenue on the North side. As man would reason: since these two locations did not have large crowd and much expenses were being incurred on monthly basis, why not merge together so as to save money. The merger went through (during the summer months), but was short lived. That was 1987.
In those days we did not have the understanding of the spirit of worship we experience today. There was a meeting convened by the authority of the Church, through the goodwill of Our Father in Christ (late) Rev. P.H. Ajose then the Head of Overseas Diocese of Celestial Church of Christ, and residing in London. The late Senior Evangelist Uma Oriere was the Zonal Evangelist of this area at that time. The meeting of reconciliation lasted 13 hours. The golden resolution coming out of the meeting was the establishment of three groups, namely: Southside group, North-side group, and The Far North group.
We were all given $1000 each with an ultimatum declaration. "We give you six months of trial. Go use your talents. At the end of the probationary period, we shall come for evaluation, and any group that fails to meet up would be disbanded and merged with others that made it."
We thank God Almighty, all three groups developed with leaps and bounds. The south-side group, (mainly what was left from the original Parish that started in 1974), evolved as Hyde Park Parish, then into what we have today as Chicago 1, operating in Calumet City. The North-side group became Midwest Parish, and later evolved as Oshoffa Parish. The Far North group was later christened St. Michael Parish. We thank God that all three parishes as of today have roof (they can call their own) on their heads.
St Michael Parish started from a private living room in a rented apartment early 1988. The late Rev. P. H. Ajose came with two other Elders and did lodge in that said rented apartment. The late Evang Ayodabo of west London Parish was taking his shower when the inspiration came. He was told the name of our Parish would be called St Michael and since that time, that has been the name. We celebrated our first Easter at that location. Within a couple of weeks, we moved to a sub-leased office space (through one gentleman by the name of Mr. Adewunmi) at 5900, N. Ridge Avenue, Chicago. We started with eight men, ten women and children.
Few months down the road the man left abruptly for his home country and we were saddled with responsibility of paying for the whole office space, costing a thousand dollars a month. This was a far cry from the three hundred dollars we were paying for subleasing. With hope, we were determined to forge ahead. Neighbors frowned at the smell of incense and the sound of music. The land lord once asked if it was possible to worship without burning incense and playing music! We were able to celebrate Juvenile Harvest that same year as well as adult harvest in October. The following year, October 1989, we had to part with the land lord; and as God would have it, Ravenswood location was readily available for November occupancy at a sum of two thousand dollars a month. Did members wonder how we would be able meet this new financial obligation? With God, all things are possible. That was a commercial lease that continued to increase steadily and annually by one hundred dollars a month. This we did for over a decade and a half. Then we desired to purchase our own property. Several contracts were written, much earnest money went into the process. We were bent on staying on the north-side. We limited ourselves. Howard was set as the northern boundary, Belmont the southern limit, with Western avenue as the western boundary. Chicago is a very special city, for it does not have eastern part on the north side of town. We saw and fell in love with lots of buildings. There was even a prophecy that said our location would have ''37''as part of the address. Using man's wisdom, we went in search of such places, east, west, north and south, but to no avail.
Again at God's own appointed time, the Lord directed us to the south side of town. Kudus Badmus' Century 21 Agency was the God sent through which our present location was contracted and purchased. Even after earnest money had been paid and awaiting approval and closing, breaking away from the attachment with Ravenswood location was like pulling out a tooth with a pair of pliers. Reasons?: Fear of the unknown- (the new location was too far from the north), fear of losing membership as a result of the distance (approx. 20 miles) from the old location.
Against all odds, we were able to move into our property at 6920 S. Harper Avenue in November of 2005.What a coincidence! We moved to Ravenswood in November and to South Harper in November It was then we realized our Zip-code was 60637!!! Remember the ''37''we were searching for a long time. God has been so good all along and today we acknowledge the grace of Jehovah Ebenezer for His mercies that endure forever .We also take this opportunity to commit the souls of the departed Elders who played active roles in the Genesis of our endeavor (Snr Leader Sheni Shofu, Senior Evangelist U. Oriere, Rev P. H. Ajose), into the hands of the living Lord. May their souls rest in peace. Amen.
We thank God for sparing the lives of all the members who were present when the Parish started. We hope to include various names of all concerned in the next detailed report. In the meantime, we wish everyone of us God's mercy that endures forever, In Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. Happy anniversary to you all. Long live Celestial Church of Christ, long live St. Michael Parish. Amen.

Citizen Journalism: Global Perspectives
Citizen Journalism: Global Perspectives, Volume Two
Edited by Einar Thorsen and Stuart Allan
Published in 2014, published by Peter Lang (New York)
This second volume of Citizen Journalism: Global Perspectives seeks to build upon the agenda set in motion by the first volume, namely by: 1) offering an overview of key developments in citizen journalism since 2008, including the use of social media in crisis reporting; 2) providing a new set of case studies highlighting important instances of citizen reporting of crisis events in a complementary range of national contexts; 3) introducing new ideas, concepts and frameworks for the study of citizen journalism; and 4) evaluating current academic and journalistic debates regarding the growing significance of citizen journalism for globalising news cultures. The book expands on the first volume by offering new investigations of citizen journalism in the United States, United Kingdom, China, India and Iran, as well as offering fresh perspectives from national contexts around the globe, including Algeria, Columbia, Egypt, Haiti, Indonesia and West Papua, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Myanmar / Burma, New Zealand, Norway, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Russia, Singapore, Syria, and Zimbabwe.

Online technologies help us re-imagine contemporary forms of journalism and news storytelling. This outstanding volume cuts through the hype to present important insights on citizen journalism, through an array of case studies drawn as citizens around the world become key players in the sociology of news. This is an essential and compelling read for students, scholars, and all those interested in what the future holds for journalism.
Professor Zizi Papacharissi
Department of Communication, University of Illinois at Chicago
This book puts the latest developments in citizen media into global perspective. Anyone who follows this trend will gain new insights - and far from losing momentum, this trend is gaining strength.
Professor Dan Gillmor
Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication, Arizona State University
Those who think that to study citizen journalism is to court the trivial and the banal should think again: this is a serious book about a serious subject. Thorsen and Allan have gathered a compelling set of narratives and arguments that together make a powerful case for the role of citizens in the business of reporting crises around the world, a task that has long been reserved for the professional journalist. This is no mere celebration, however - the volume engages with the limits of citizen reporting, the better to place it within existing and emerging forms of journalism practice.
Professor Chris Atton
School of Arts and Creative Industries, Edinburgh Napier University
Introduction, by Einar Thorsen and Stuart Allan
Section One: Re-imagining Citizen Journalism
1) Social Media and the Mumbai Terror Attack: The Coming of Age of Twitter, by Yasmin Ibrahim
Our opening chapter by Yasmin Ibrahim, “Social Media and the Mumbai Terror Attack: The Coming of Age of Twitter,” docu- ments one of the initial points of journalistic engagement with social media which, with the benefit of hindsight, proved formative. This terror attack, which saw ordinary citizens relaying eyewitness accounts and imagery of the horrors across the webscape, raised troubling questions, including with respect to the role of broad- casting protocols in live telecasts of violent incidents. It also highlighted, she argues, the risks that emerge in social media platforms through the “act of sharing” during such moments of crisis.
2) CNN’s Citizen Journalism Platform: The Ambivalent Labor of iReporting, by Lindsay Palmer
Lindsay Palmer, in her chapter “CNN’s Citizen Journal- ism Platform: The Ambivalent Labor of iReporting,” examines the use of CNN’s citizen journalism platform, iReport. Taking the platform’s citizen coverage of the 2009 Iranian uprising as her case study, she contends that individuals prepared to think of themselves as iReporters typically become involved in complex, some- times contentious relationships with news organisations intent on making use of their work for their own purposes. Palmer’s analysis reveals that “citizen coverage of global conflict is a story of both exploitation and subversion,” one beset with tensions associated with the increasingly disruptive informational milieu consistent with network cultures.
3) Righting Wrongs: Citizen Journalism and Miscarriages of Justice, by Chris Greer and Eugene McLaughlin
The agenda-setting power of citizen journalism is the focus of Chris Greer and Eugene McLaughlin’s “Righting Wrongs: Citizen Journalism and Miscarriages of Justice,” with specific reference to miscarriages of justice. Their empirical analy- sis elucidates the interaction of media, political and judicial forces following the death of newspaper vendor, Ian Tomlinson, shortly after being struck by a police officer at the G20 Protests in London in 2009. The police denial that an officer had been involved was flatly contradicted by evidence revealed by the Guardian six days later, namely a video clip documenting the assault, handed over to it by an American visitor to the city. The rise of citizen journalism is shown to bring to bear countervailing imperatives for those institutions that traditionally have been able to control the information environment.
4) “I have a voice”: The Cosmopolitan Ambivalence of Convergent Journalism, by Lilie Chouliaraki
Disruptions to the flow of communicative power in the name of justice similarly reverberate in Lilie Chouliaraki’s chapter, ‘“I Have a Voice”: The Cosmopolitan Ambivalence of Convergent Journalism.” A vital dimension of journalism’s performative ethos, she argues, is characterised by a shift from the professional act of informing towards citizen-driven acts of deliberating and witnessing—what she calls the disposition of “I have a voice.” Whilst this shift in the epistemology of the news has been welcomed as a democ- ratisation of journalism, her contrasting case studies—the Haiti earthquake (2010) and the Egypt uprising (2011)—demonstrate that variation in the use of citizen- driven journalism reflects a concomitant variation in the power relations of Western mediation. Such structures, Chouliaraki believes, “selectively give voice to distant others, silencing the voice of the Haiti earthquake victims but amplifying the voice of Egyptian protesters, and, in so doing, encourage recognition of the plight of the later whilst depoliticising the condition of the former.”
5) Before the Revolutionary Moment: The Significance of Lebanese and Egyptian Bloggers in the New Media Ecology, by Kristina Riegert
Kristina Riegert’s “Before the Revolutionary Moment: The Significance of Lebanese and Egyptian Bloggers in the New Media Ecology” addresses similar themes. In contrast with celebratory claims crediting social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, with ushering in the Arab Spring in 2011, she delves into an array of factors that helped to engender the demonstrations that swept through the region. Of particular importance, she shows, is the emergence of bloggers and citizen journalists in the years beforehand, not as causal agents but rather as part of a wider media ecology confronting authoritarian power structures. She traces the online relationships between popular bloggers in Lebanon and Egypt in order to identify how, when and why citizen journalism makes a difference in a crisis media event like that of the Arab uprisings.
6) Citizen Journalism in Real Time? Live Blogging and Crisis Events, by Neil Thurman and James Rodgers
Staying with the focus on blogging in nearby national contexts, Neil Thurman and James Rodgers’ chapter “Citizen Journalism in Real Time? Live Blogging and Crisis Events” analyses data gathered on the consumption of live online coverage of crisis events. They proceed to examine live blogging’s relevance to debates about citizen journalism with reference to recent examples from Syria and Algeria. In assessing the opportunities and challenges for live blogging or utilizing citizen contributions—and thereby for journalism more widely—they argue that this type of reportage, when used with care, can enhance our news provision to considerable advantage.
Section Two: Capturing Crisis
7) Tools in Their Pockets: How Personal Media Were Used During the Christchurch Earthquakes, by Donald Matheson
Section Two begins with Donald Matheson’s chapter, “Tools in Their Pockets: How Personal Media Were Used During the Christchurch Earthquakes,”which explores the roles of personal, portable media in people’s responses—suggestive of what he calls a “supportive intimacy” amongst strangers online—to the twin earthquakes that hit the city of Christchurch, New Zealand in 2010 and 2011. Matheson also reflects on the limits of citizen media, such as when the importance of place-based, face-to-face forms of community interaction came to the fore after electricity-based media collapsed in the wake of the second, devastating quake.
8) Hurricane Sandy and the Adoption of Citizen Journalism Platforms, by Trevor Knoblich
In “Hurricane Sandy and the Adoption of Citizen Journalism Platforms,” Trevor Knoblich extends this discussion of natural disasters. He points out that as new tools for capturing text, photographs and videos emerge, citizen journalists have increasing opportunities to participate in documenting, sharing, and providing nuance to breaking news events. In turn, each crisis event illustrates that public familiarity with a social media or other communications platform, as well as persistent access, largely determines how citizens choose to share information. His investigation shows how citizen journalists used a variety of tools to share information about Hurricane Sandy in the Eastern United States, as well as how they adapted when access to a given platform of choice became limited.
9) Live Reporting Terror: Remediating Citizen Crisis Communication, by Einar Thorsen
The pressures of breaking news similarly feature in Einar Thorsen’s “Live Reporting Terror: Remediating Citizen Crisis Communication.” For individuals caught up in the two attacks carried out by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway in July 2011, tragic forms of self-publishing emerged. In the case of the Oslo car bomb, eyewitness observations offered a sense of raw immediacy; victims of Breivik’s shooting spree on Utøya were publishing cries for help, confirming they were alive and desperate for information. Despite the different modalities, ordinary citizens’ contributions to documenting the unfolding crisis were vital. Through a comparative analysis of international news organisations’ live blogging of the attacks, Thorsen further highlights the global remediation of citizen eyewitness accounts—from the initial assumption that the attacks were grounded in “international terrorism” to the confirmation of Breivik as a domestic right-wing extremist.
10) Eyewitness Images as a Genre of Crisis Reporting, by Mette Mortensen
Several related chal- lenges where news imagery is concerned are brought to light by Mette Mortensen’s “Eyewitness Images as a Genre of Crisis Reporting.” She observes that amateur, non-professional image makers frequently become the initial link in the chain of breaking news because of the on-the-spot documentation they provide. News organisations draw upon eyewitness images for several reasons, not least due to their association with an exclusive insider perspective and proximity in time and space to events. Still, Mortensen argues, even if they are habitually considered authentic on account of their urgency, immediacy, and handheld aesthetics, this type of imagery recurrently puts the norms, editorial routines, and professional self-perception of journalism to the test.
11) Reformulating Photojournalism: Interweaving Professional and Citizen Photo-reportage of the Boston Bombings, by Stuart Allan
Stuart Allan’s “Reformulating Photojournalism: Interweaving Professional and Citizen Photo-reportage of the Boston Bombings” is the first of two chap- ters investigating another crisis event where journalism was severely tested, namely the bombing of the Boston marathon in April 2013 that killed three people and left 264 others injured. Allan’s analysis sets the experiences of professional news photographers that day in relation to the improvised photo-reportage shared by ordinary bystanders who happened to be on the scene. In so doing, he elaborates the concept of “citizen witnessing,”as he has developed it elsewhere (Allan, 2013), as one possible way to recast the prospects for refashioning journalism. Specifically, he argues for the need to create innovative spaces for a collaborative, co-operative ethos of connectivity between professionals and ordinary citizens in order to rein- vigorate, in this instance, photojournalism’s public service commitments.
12) Citizen Journalism, Sharing, and the Ethics of Visibility, by Graham Meikle
Graham Meikle’s complementary chapter, “Citizen Journalism, Sharing, and the Ethics of Visibility,” examines a further dimension of citizen involvement in the news coverage of the Boston bombings. The focus of his discussion concerns the use of the social media platform Reddit by networks of individuals who attempted to crowdsource the identities of possible bombing suspects by sharing images and speculation. Situating these events within the frame of citizen journalism, Meikle considers the centrality of sharing to social media and its uses for nonprofessional journalism and related forms of collaborative information provision. He argues that such uses reveal the need for an ethics of visibility to be secured on the basis of the lessons learned from what happened in Boston.
Section Three: Globalising Cultures of Citizen Journalism
13) Citizen Journalism, Development and Social Change: Hype and Hope, by Silvio Waisbord
The scene is set by Silvio Waisbord’s “Citizen Journalism, Development and Social Change: Hype and Hope,” which pursues questions that go to the heart of the relationship between citizen journalism and public dialogue and opinion for- mation. All too often, he argues, analyses fall into a celebration of citizen journalism “as the crystallization of individual expression,” which tends to obscure, in turn, important issues concerning communication rights and opportunities for collective actors, as well as the institutional contexts for participation and decision making.
14) A Latin American Approach to Citizen Journalism, by Clemencia Rodríguez
Clemencia Rodríguez’s “A Latin American Approach to Citizen Journalism” elab- orates a similar thematic, in part by exploring the factors shaping this approach as an alternative to the Global North’s priorities. In Latin America, she argues, citizen journalism is a practice of resistance, one that brings together social movements, activists, and other social justice collectives in a shared refusal to accept that only professional news organizations can practice journalism. In seeking to expand and enrich the public sphere with information key to democratic processes, its guiding tenets are informed by commitments to social responsibility and the public interest. In the course of her discussion, Rodríguez draws upon examples from her fieldwork with citizens’ media producers in regions of armed conflict in Colombia.
15) Getting into the Mainstream: The Digital/Media Strategies of a Feminist Coalition in Puerto Rico, by Firuzeh Shokooh Valle
In “Getting into the Mainstream: The Digital/Media Strategies of a Feminist Coalition in Puerto Rico,” Firuzeh Shokooh Valle considers several related issues as they have been taken up by women working for gendere quality. Specifically, she investigates how the feminist movement in Puerto Rico has employed a listserv— the coalition’s main virtual platform—to secure a safe space for news and infor- mation to circulate, as well as discussions, deliberation, networking, strategizing, consensus building, decision making, and task distribution.
16) Reporting a Revolution and Its Aftermath: When Activists Drive the News Coverage, by Yomna Kamel
The use of citizen media in the struggle for social change similarly figures prominently in Yomna Kamel’s “Reporting a Revolution and Its Aftermath: When Activists Drive the News Coverage.” Ranging from “the image of the Tunisian Bouazizi to the image of the Egyptian blue bra-girl who was dragged, stripped and brutally beaten by security forces in Cairo’s Tahrir Square,” she writes, “huge amounts of visual and textual content have been posted and circulated on social media platforms by citi- zen journalists, who are also activists after a cause.” Kamel proceeds to examine the nature of their relationships with professional journalists, showing how diverse forms of networking via social media have helped to amplify their voices. Many of those blurring the boundaries between citizen journalism and activism have succeeded in making their stories heard in international media contexts, which she assesses in relation to Al-Jazeera, the BBC, CNN, Russia Today and XINHUA.
17) Citizen Journalism in Indonesia’s Disputed Territories: Life on the New Media Frontline, by Kayt Davies
“While the IT avalanche of the past decade has made it technically possible for anyone to report anything from anywhere,” Kayt Davies writes, “the biting reality from the frontlines of simmering repressive contexts, such as Indonesia’s disputed territories, is that caution is required to keep citizen journalists safe.” In Davies’ chapter, “Citizen Journalism in Indonesia’s Disputed Territories: Life on the New Media Frontline,” she details the evolution of online media in these places and analyses the work done by humanitarian and new media groups. This includes consideration of how well their work fits existing definitions of media practices and roles, and the importance of allowing the people affected by conflict and repressive regimes to speak their truths.
18) Civic Responsibility and Empowerment: Citizen Journalism in Russia, by Karina Alexanyan
Karina Alexanyan, in “Civic Responsibility and Empowerment: Citizen Journalism in Russia,” examines the reasons why it is necessary to disentangle the role of the citizen from that of the journalist, and how both are shaped by socio-political contexts. In semi-authoritarian environments like Russia, she argues, online and mobile technologies have not only facilitated the emergence of participatory journalism, they have engendered “a novel sense of civic society, responsibility and consciousness” with significant implications for civic empowerment and activism.
19) Beyond the Newsroom Monopolies: Citizen Journalism as the Practice of Freedom in Zimbabwe, by Last Moyo
This theme echoes in a different way in Last Moyo’s “Beyond the Newsroom Monopolies: Citizen Journalism as the Practice of Freedom in Zimbabwe.” Focusing on the Kubatana blog as a case study, he evaluates the extent to which it serves as a forum for the articulation of personal freedoms otherwise difficult to express. Efforts to recast blogging as citizen journalism, he argues, have as their aim the establishment of an alternate- subaltern space where citizenship is imagined in radical terms, namely as discur- sive, deliberative, participative and transformative.
Section Four: New Crises, Alternative Agendas
20) “Blade and Keyboard In Hand”: Wikileaks and/as Citizen Journalism, by Lisa Lynch
Section Four commences with Lisa Lynch’s “‘Blade and Keyboard In Hand’: Wikileaks and/as Citizen Journalism.” She begins by pointing out that although some observers have labelled Wikileaks a “citizen media outlet” in order to dis- tinguish it from the professional press, closer scrutiny reveals that the relationship between Wikileaks and the citizen-journalist is not so straightforward. She explores Wikileaks’ roots in citizen media, its turn towards engagement with mainstream media, and its more recent incarnation as a “read-only” resource indexing materials of interest to activists and scholars concerned with the exercise of US soft power.
21) Beyond Journalism: The New Public Information Space, by Nik Gowing
Questions of power similarly underpin Nik Gowing’s chapter, “Beyond Journal- ism: The New Public Information Space,” which contends that the proliferation of social media is creating new levels of near-instant accountability while, at the same time, provoking acute vulnerabilities for business, governments and social systems. In tracing the features of this information space, Gowing proceeds to pinpoint a range of factors impacting upon institutions, forcing them to adapt to changing circumstances in a climate of uncertainty. Illustrating his thesis with a range of examples from different case studies, he shows why, in his view, certain guiding principles of political and corporate governance need to change.
22) The Evolution of Citizen Journalism in Crises: From Reporting to Crisis Management, by Hayley Watson and Kush Wadhwa
Related themes regarding crisis reporting and information flow resound throughout “The Evolution of Citizen Journalism in Crises: From Reporting to Crisis Management,” by Hayley Watson and Kush Wadhwa. In reassessing the role citizen journalists play in contributing to the construction of news, they con- sider its impact for crisis managers. Certain advantages as well as problems come to light in the course of their enquiry into how managers work to incorporate the real-time news and information afforded by citizen journalism into their response efforts.
23) Citizen Journalism in the Age of Weibo: the Shifang Environmental Protest, by Lei Guo
Casting a valuable light on these dynamics is Lei Guo’s chapter, “Citizen Journalism in the Age of Weibo: the Shifang Environmental Protest.” While cit- izen journalism is generally considered to be flourishing on China’s Twitter-like micro-blogging service Weibo, its effectiveness came under intense pressure when a large-scale environmental protest against a government-approved copper plant sought to use it as a platform to spread news about the ensuing conflict.
24) Little Brother Is Watching: Citizen Video Journalists and Witness Narratives, by Mary Angela Bock
Surveil- lance of a different register is examined in Mary Angela Bock’s “Little Brother Is Watching: Citizen Video Journalists and Witness Narratives.” In accentuating the importance of attending to the politics of witnessing giving shape to citizen journalism, she compares and contrasts the narrative strategies used by citizen and professional video journalists (VJs), respectively, as they endeavour to establish their authority. Her analysis is based on observations of practitioners, with one group—a self-described “cop watching” organization in the US—serving as an illustrative case study. Several stories posted by group members were chosen for textual analysis, with Bock paying particular attention to their authority-building narrative strategies.
25) Occupy Wall Street and Social Media News Sharing after the Wake of Institutional Journalism, by Kevin Michael DeLuca and Sean Lawson
“With institutional journalism flailing and failing in the internet Age,” Kevin M. DeLuca and Sean Lawson write, “there is much wailing about the future of news and democracy.” In their chapter, “OWS and Social Media News Sharing After the Wake of Institutional Journalism,” they actively resist the familiar confla- tion of institutional journalism with news and democracy. Instead, they argue that the internet, especially social media platforms, enables a proliferation of decentral- ized news practices to develop, which they term social media news sharing. Occupy Wall Street serves as a case study to explore the emerging news practices and politics that social media news sharing is creating.
26) The Activist as Citizen Journalist, by Sue Robinson and Mitchael L . Schwartz
Rounding out this section, and the book overall, is Sue Robinson and Michael L. Schwartz’s chapter, “The Activist as Citi- zen Journalist.” Drawing on a case study of the educational community in Madison, Wisconsin, they investigate some of the ways citizen activists are “working their beats” to report information in online public realms. Particular attention focuses on two “super-contributor” activists on opposing sides of a controversial charter school, showing how citizens with agendas are attempting to fill “structural holes” in an ever-evolving media ecological network through Facebook posting, commenting and blogging. To what extent, they ask, is the relevance of professional journalism being called into question by activists tapping into a maturing citizen journalistic ethos to connect civically on issues of such importance for the community.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
Browse (via the vertical menu to the left) and search results for Drawings include a mixture of Concise catalogue records – drawn from an outline list of the collection – and fuller records where drawings have been catalogued in more detail (an ongoing process).

Faster Higher Stronger: Stories of the Olympic Games – 100 Metres (BBC Documentary)
Taking its title from the Olympic motto, this series explores the history of the modern Games through the stories of extraordinary athletes who have pushed performance to the limit and beyond in pursuit of gold.
Faster, Higher, Stronger examines how the most anticipated and hyped event in any Olympics, the 100 metres final, has been run faster and faster by men like Jim Hines, the first to run the race in under 10 seconds, Carl Lewis, the best finisher of them all and Usain Bolt, whose massive stride allows him to eat up the track.
Sprinters run the 100m in distinct phases and the programme reveals what they are and how the athletes, who are running at up to 28 miles an hour, have to master each of them to win. British athlete Allan Wells recalls the dip at the line that won him gold in Moscow in 1980.
Combining expert eyewitness testimony, rare historic archive, period reconstruction and special filming techniques to slow down and analyse performance, this is a unique insight into the most electrifying event in all of sport.

Co-create the future: UI-SME collaboration and fair
On 12 November, the University of Ibadan organized a fair termed: The 2nd UI-SME Fair, tagged “Co-create the future: University of Ibadan and Small and Medium Enterprises,” which was held at the International Conference Center to bring together key stakeholders in the SME sector to provide crucial support for SME growth and sustainability.
The fair started with the introduction of the special guests: Prof A.I. Olayinka (VC), Prof Olanike Adeyemo (DVC Research, Innovation, and Strategic Partnership, UI), Dr Helen Komolafe (University Liberian), and Prof Adedoyin Soyibo (Pioneer Director, Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, UI) who chaired the occasion.
Fair participants at the IITA stand.
Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) are independent firms that employ less than a given number of employees. In low-income countries, SMEs contribute 60% of GDP and more than 70% of employment. SMEs are crucial economic catalysts in national development, poverty alleviation, and employment generation, Olayinka said.
The fair brought together key stakeholders in the SME sector, including consultants in different domains who can support businesses. SMEs are the drivers of the economy, but because of their limitations in fostering cooperative research and development, the University serves as a tripod supporting sustainable growth and development.
According to Prof Soyibo, the trade fair acts as a marketing tool or medium for advertising and promotion. It enables producers to meet face-face with consumers in a way that provides an immediate impact on products and services”. Trade fairs provide a platform for traders and individuals to support their survival and success and create a true relationship between national and international organizations as well as local, state, and national companies.
Dr Olufunke Ezekiel, a researcher in the Department of Food Technology, UI, who showcased the “town and gown relationship”, has been involved in collaborative research and development work with OKLAN Best Ltd. Adesfood UK via OKLAN Best Ltd initiated this research project on developing a processing line for the production of frozen jute mallow, locally called “ewedu” in Nigeria. Ezekiel worked to establish suitable processing conditions to improve the vegetable’s shelf-life and its transportation, sale, and consumption without loss of nutritional value and sensory qualities. The research was developed to export jute mallow to developed countries such as the USA and the UK.
To promote visibility and knowledge sharing, IITA exhibited some products and technologies. The booth was visited by over 50 participants who wanted to learn, inquire, or purchase goods.
The first-ever UI-SME Summit started on 7 November 2019 to foster cooperative research and development support for SMEs. Due to its success, the Vice-Chancellor approved that it become an annual Fair to ensure a robust interaction between the University community and SMEs and foster a greater town-gown relationship. The summit partners were IITA, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration (NAFDAC) and Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) as well as the Bank of Industry and Paylink.ng.

Read “Comics” on Your iPhone, iPod touch
Iconology Inc., at the San Diego Comic Con, has launch of its Comics by comiXology app on the iTunes App Store. The Comics by comiXology App is a digital comic store, library and reader for iPhone and iPod touch that is launching with over 100 titles available from twenty popular comic publishers and many independent comic writers.
“The stunning display and innovative multi-touch user interface of iPhone and iPod touch have finally made comics appealing in a digital format,” said David Steinberger, CEO of Iconology, Inc. “By combining great comics with iPhone OS 3.0’s In-App Purchasing and location awareness features we are creating a revolution in the way comics are sold and read which could only happen with iPhone and iPod touch.”
Comics by comiXology heralds an entirely new comic book publishing and connected commerce model. Comic book enthusiasts can now not only read their comics in a format designed to preserve the comic book experience on an iPhone or iPod touch, but also locate and connect with local retailers to purchase the printed version of the titles. Through relationships with comic book retailers, Comics by comiXology will increase both digital and print sales of comics and deliver a powerful mobile marketing tool for comic book publishers and retailers.

An Eagle in Your Mind
Running time 6:23
Appears on MHTRTC
2 Samples / Lyrics
All of the percussion on "An Eagle in Your Mind" was created using cut up samples of Michael Sandison's girlfriend's voice (Remix Magazine, 2002).
A video (made for the WATMM video contest) was created for "An Eagle in Your Mind" using stock footage sampled from Tatsuo Sato's anime film "Cat Soup." This video also offers an interpretation of the vocal sample heard during the track.
Samples / Lyrics
all atop of the santcus high above the sea a safe place on all counts a great place
At 1:53 an unidentified speech sample (thought by some to be the voice Welsh actor Philip Madoc) begins narrating a story. It is difficult to understand, but thought to be the following:
"the holts are nearly always close to sea
fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs
all at the top of a sand edifice
high above the sea
a safe place for cubs
we wait, tense
we're disappointed
she leaves her [?] loaded by others of us
the holts are evenly spread
about 500 meters apart [?] or so they advertise"
Another variation is as follows:
"Holts are nearly always close to the sea,
fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs,
all atop the sand edifice,
high above the sea:
a safe place for cubs.
We wait ... tense. We're disappointed.
She leaves her [?] to look for [others?]
The holts are evenly spaced, about 5 meters apart,
Only enough to fool the passers-by, or so they advertise
I love you"
[Simon Wilkinson] suggests similar words, with a few minor changes:
"She leaves us [wait?] [loaded for others of us?].
The holts are about 500 meters apart,
And of use only [?] pass us by, or they [advertise?]"
[Simon Wilkinson] also points out that the voice sounds similar to that of Welsh actor Philip Madoc (heard very briefly here at links Simon provided: [1], [2].
Thanks again to [JimE] for noticing something else:
"there's a background sound throughout the song which could be "sweat-sweat" (in the first part of the song), with "tension" coming in later. It's hard to recognise as speech, but it could well be; one of the interviews says that the "percussion" in the track was constructed using the voice of the girlfriend of one of BoC."
A voice that sounds like a black male singing "No" fades in at 4:35 and continues throughout the song. (Sounds like another 70s/80s disco/funk sample) At 5:27 A scratchy sample saying "Yeah" is played forward, then backward, then forward again, with some additional scrubbing in between. At 6:00, "Yeah" plays again, but only once.

#1 biggest challenge this season - getting a c von lebaobei123 04.03.2019 03:00
LOS ANGELES -- Josh Beckett and Adam Wainwright were both on their game in a pitching duel that exceeded all expectations. Pinch-hitter Justin Turner delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning off Wainwright, and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the St. Louis Cardinals 1-0 Thursday night in their first meeting since last years NL championship series. Beckett pitched seven sharp innings in his showdown with the Cardinals ace, who held the Dodgers hitless through five. Left fielder Matt Kemp helped Beckett by throwing out a runner at the plate in the seventh. Beckett scattered four hits, walked two and struck out four. The right-hander has a 1.34 ERA over his last seven starts, a stretch that began with his no-hitter in Philadelphia on May 25. His season ERA is 2.11 in 15 starts. "I knew it was going to be tough, but I dont think I deserve very much of the credit," Beckett said. "My defence really picked me up tonight, and we got a late run off of a pretty tough pitcher." Juan Uribe, just off the disabled list after missing 34 games with a right hamstring strain, led off the eighth with a single and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Drew Butera before rookie Miguel Rojas infield single put runners at the corners. Turner, batting for reliever Brian Wilson, came through with his 20th RBI of the season. "I think hes used to that. Hes gotten some big hits for us this year," Kemp said. "Hes always ready to hit, and tonight he got the big hit. It was a battle today. It was a battle of the pitchers -- two good pitchers going at it, and we had to wait out Wainwright." Wilson (1-2) tossed a perfect inning and Kenley Jansen got three outs for his 24th save. "Thats how playoff games usually are -- 1-0. When we play them, its always two good teams going at it," Kemp said. "I think our pitchers match up with their pitchers, and vice versa. Weve had some battles over the years, and theyve gotten the best of us the last couple of years. But hopefully we can grind it out and see them in the playoffs again this year." The Cardinals won 97 games last season, five more than Los Angeles, and beat the Dodgers in the NLCS. Wainwright won Game 3 at Dodger Stadium. This time, Wainwright (10-4) took a hard-luck loss, giving up five hits while going the distance for the 19th time in 201 regular-season starts. The right-hander was runner-up to Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in last years NL Cy Young Award voting. "I think one run would have been enough tonight the way he was throwing the ball," said Cardinals second baseman Mark Ellis, a former Dodger. "He was typical Wainwright. He has four above-average pitches and throws them wherever he wants. He knows their lineup and how to throw those guys." Wainwright walked his first batter, Dee Gordon, then retired 15 in a row before Rojas led off the sixth with a clean single to left field. Beckett followed with a Texas Leaguer to right, and Allen Craig made a diving catch with the outfield playing shallow against the pitcher. Gordon followed with a bloop single to left, but Yasiel Puig grounded into a double play. Puig, the NL player of the month for May, is batting .242 with no homers, six RBIs and 25 strikeouts in 25 games since his last home run on May 28 against Cincinnatis Homer Bailey at Dodger Stadium. Craig hit a two-out double in the seventh, just beyond Puigs reach on the right-field warning track, then tried to score on Jon Jays sharp single to left. Kemp charged the ball and threw a perfect strike to Butera in front of the plate for a sweep tag as Beckett thrust both arms over his head in jubilation. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny challenged the call by umpire Vic Carapazza, but a replay review upheld the decision and the game remained scoreless. "I wasnt surprised they sent him. Right there in the late innings, its do or die," Kemp said. "I got a good jump on it, got to the ball quick and threw it. Butera made a good tag and we got the out. Defence is just as important as offence. Defence won us that game today." NOTES: Cardinals RHP Joe Kelly, on the DL with a left hamstring strain thats sidelined him for 66 games, is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Memphis. ... Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez missed his third straight game with a sore right shoulder and had an MRI. ... The Dodgers flight from Kansas City didnt arrive in Los Angeles until about 2 a.m. following their 5-4 win over the Royals, and manager Don Mattingly called off batting practice. ... The Cardinals began a five-game stretch in which they will face all three pitchers who have thrown no-hitters this season, including Kershaw on Sunday and San Franciscos Tim Lincecum on Tuesday. ... The Dodgers were 20-14 in Uribes absence. ... Adrian Gonzalezs RBI streak ended at seven games, one shy of the L.A. Dodgers record shared by Puig, Tommy Davis, Reggie Smith, Adrian Beltre and Shawn Green. Josh Reddick Jersey . Green-Ellis was Cincinnatis leading rusher each of the last two seasons. His role was reduced last year when Giovani Bernard was added to the backfield. Green-Ellis ran for 756 yards and a career-low 3. J.R. Richard Jersey . He will play 10th-seeded Feliciano Lopez in Sundays final, after the Spanish left-hander defeated Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 7-6 (7), 6-4. http://www.astrosteamproshop.com/Astros-...te-Kids-Jersey/. It was a move of some time in the making. “He hasnt thrown well, clearly some guys are being used more than him right now and the only way to get out of this funk is to pitch,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Mike Scott Jersey . Last year, Matt Kuchar closed with a 4-under 68 to beat Kevin Chappell by two strokes for his second win of the 2013 season and sixth of his career. Roy Oswalt Jersey . Vonn punctuated her near-perfect season in perfect fashion Friday, earning her fourth overall World Cup title with a dominating giant slalom victory.With new head coach Carl Robinson at the helm, the Vancouver Whitecaps will look to get back into the MLS Western Conference playoff picture. TSN soccer analyst Luke Wileman tells you everything you need to know about the 2014 Whitecaps, while TSN soccer analyst Jason deVos tells you how they will succeed or fail during the new campaign. Luke Wileman: After missing out on the playoffs in 2013, Vancouver Whitecaps have re-tooled ahead of the new season. They lost their leading scorer, Camilo, in controversial circumstances, but the Caps will enter the 2014 season with a stronger overall squad. The biggest change of the offseason was the departure of head coach Martin Rennie. After two years with the club, Rennies contract was not renewed, and after a long search, the Whitecaps promoted Carl Robinson from his role as assistant coach to take the top job. I said at the time that Robinson was the perfect choice. He already knew the inner workings of the club from his time on Rennies coaching staff, but has brought a fresh outlook. Robinson is heading into his rookie season as a head coach, and it will be a steep learning curve, but theres little doubt he is ready for the task ahead. The way he handled difficult situations during the offseason was superb, and his leadership and communication with players through preseason has earned him plenty of respect within the locker room. So what can we expect from Robinsons team? The Whitecaps coach has made no secret of the fact that he wants to play an attractive entertaining style of soccer. He has also said he wont be afraid to give youth a chance. Robinsons squad is young, but with experience in key areas throughout the team. In fact there is a strong veteran presence down the spine of the team with David Ousted in goal, Jay DeMerit and Andy OBrien at the back, Nigel Reo Coker in midfield and Kenny Miller up front. The Whitecaps have made some strong additions in the offseason but the biggest question mark is whether they will be able to replace the league-leading 22 goals scored by Camilo. There wont be one person who shoulders the responsibility of filling the void left by the Brazilian, it will need to be a team effort, and the way the squad has been built should help that to happen. Uruguyan duo Sebastian Fernandez and Nicolas Mezquida have shown evidence of their creativity and technical ability during preseason, and the expected arrival of Chilean attacking midfielder Pedro Morales from Spanish side Malaga will be a massive piece of the puzzle. Vancouver already has quality in attack. Keeping Kenny Miller fit is key for the Caps. It will also be interesting to see the development of youngsters Kekuta Manneh, Darren Mattocks, Erik Hurtado, Omar Salgado and Russell Teibert. All five of those players have the ability to contribute significantly to the Whitecaps attacking play. The Whitecaps added former MLS All-Star Steven Beitashour at right back to replace the retired YP Lee and have options in the central defensive positions with DeMerit and OBrien likely to be favoured to open the season, but Carlyle Mitchell, Johnny Leveron and draft pick Christian Dean all capable of stepping in at any time. With Carl Robinson likely to play a 4-2-3-1 formation, the two defensive midfield players will need to protect the back four but also start a lot of the Whitecaps play moving forward. On his day, Nigel Reo-Coker can be one of the top midfielders in the league, but Robinson will want to see more consistency from the Englishman this season dictating the play and getting box to box. One of the Whitecaps big offseason additions was young Argentine midfielder Matias Laba who arrived from Toronto FC. Hes a superb signing who will commplement the qualities of Reo Coker.dddddddddddd Laba is a destroyer. He breaks up the play and gets it going again in an effective manner. The defensive midfield pairing of Reo Coker and Laba could be particularly strong for the Whitecaps this season. Despite my view that the overall squad is better than a year ago, the Whitecaps wont find it easy to achieve their goal of making the playoffs in a Western Conference that is packed with quality. Last year, Vancouver improved on their points total from a year earlier, but didnt make it to the postseason. They improved, but not enough because the other teams around them had made bigger strides. This time around, the Whitecaps have made some significant changes. It might take them time to settle into their new identity, but it should be a fun ride. TSN Soccer analyst Jason deVos weighs in on how the Whitecaps will succeed or fail during the 2014 season. Jason deVos: Vancouver Whitecaps will succeed if… …the young guns come out firing. Rookie head coach Carl Robinson has a squad full of talented youngsters. Russell Teibert, Kekuta Manneh, Gershon Koffie, Omar Salgado, Darren Mattocks, Nicolás Mezquida, Matías Laba, Erik Hurtado, Andre Lewis and Sam Adekugbe are all under the age of 23. With youth comes inconsistency; an amazing performance one week, followed up by a flat one the next. If Robinson can get the young players to find a measure of consistency, the Whitecaps will fare far better than many predict this season. The reason for that is that this team is quick - and I mean, lightning fast. Mattocks, Manneh and Hurtado are whippets, and will win races against virtually every player in MLS. If the experienced players in the squad - Nigel Reo-Coker, Andy OBrien and Jay DeMerit - can shepherd the young players along the right path, the Whitecaps are going to surprise a few people this season. Vancouver Whitecaps will fail if… …they show up one week and not the next. Succeeding in professional soccer is all about finding a level of consistency from week to week. Reliability comes with experience - something that is severely lacking from this squad of players. The onus is on Robinson to set the standards of performance that he expects from all of his players. Experienced campaigners like Reo-Coker, OBrien and DeMerit wont be the issue - they know what they need to do to succeed in the game, and will rarely dip below a 7 out of 10 performance. It is the young players that need to learn this. They need to learn that you cannot turn it on one week, then not bother showing up the next. That will be Robinsons biggest challenge this season - getting a consistent level out of his talented crop of youngsters. If he can do that, this will be an exciting season for Whitecaps fans. If not, the Whitecaps will again fail to make the playoffs. 2013 finish: 13-12-9 (seventh in Western Conference). Did not qualify for MLS Cup playoffs. Whos In?: M Mehdi Ballouchy (Re-Entry Draft), D Steven Beitashour (traded from San Jose), M/F Sebastian Fernandez (loan from Boston River), M Matías Laba (trade from Toronto), M/F Nicolas Mezquida (transfer from Boston River), GK Paolo Tornaghi (signed).

Magical dinosaur adventures are a VR treat at E3
One of E3’s best demos this year was shown, not on a glitzy mega-booth, but in a quiet back room, without fuss or fanfare.
“Back to Dinosaur Island 2” is a proof of concept virtual reality demo from Crytek, for its forthcoming game Robinson: The Journey. Shown on an Oculus Rift Crescent Bay prototype, it’s the follow-up to a demo shown earlier this year.
Crytek rented a room in a quiet corner of the Los Angeles Convention Center to show a short demo to anyone who happened to pass and fancied spending ten minutes in the early Tithonian period.
That earlier GDC demo featured a terrifying T-Rex, sniffing around a player who had unwisely decided to camp in the vicinity of some giant eggs. While impressive, it was fairly static and kind of monotone blue-ish. By contrast, this new demo is a full bloom of colors that also demands the player to move.
The demo begins with the player clinging to the face of an enormous cliff, surrounded by a beautiful Jurassic landscape of mountains, jungles and waterfalls. To look directly down is to experience the wonder of a lovely view, but also to feel a wave of vertigo.
VR hands float in front of the player, who must maneuver them in order to clasp onto a series of pulleys that pull upwards. Control is handled through direction of gaze and then controller buttons.
During the ascent, pterodactyls emerge from hidey-holes, soaring above, below and behind the player, occasionally allowing themselves to come close enough to show off the creatures’ detail. Rocks tumble down from the top of the cliff, as a mother seeks to protect her young. The player dodges those with ease.
There is one moment of nice visual storytelling, when a baby pterodactyl falls out of its nest. It tumbles toward its death, only to be rescued by a parent in mid-air. It is a reminder that this is a game, and not just a demo.
If you let go of the pulleys, you will fall. Daddy Diopecephalus will not save you. When I let go, I was hoping for a VR-extravaganza of violent death on the rocks below. Unfortunately, the screen just goes blank, and resets where you left off.
But that is the only disappointment in an otherwise breathtaking demo. Robinson: The Journey will likely be a walking game with low level interactivity. It is an excuse to explore a world of dinosaurs at a leisurely pace.
At the top of the cliff, the player finds out more information about creatures and locations, by staring at them for a long time and receiving data packets. But this seems almost like a distraction in such a lush and beautiful place. It is enough just to be there.
For Crytek, the demo is an opportunity to show off its CryEngine technology, which the company hopes will be widely used in the development of VR games. This is just a demo of a single section of a game, and is heavily garlanded with detail. But if VR really is going to look and feel this good, it’s going to command significant attention from many people, including non-gamers seeking a new escapism.
Also at E3 last week was another VR dinosaur demo. Time Machine VR (above) is from Minority Media, which obviously does not have the same graphical resources as Crytek. It’s an underwater exploration of an ancient world, getting up close to sea monsters on a scientific expedition.
There is far less visual detail at play here, though more freedom of movement. The player moves among seabed rocks in an attempt to approach creatures without being seen. Time can then be frozen for a final approach and investigation.
Minority Media makes use of lots of gamey conventions that seem superfluous, like choosing the correct tool (i.e. controller button) to observe animals. But once again, the principal of exploration, of looking and seeing strange things, seems to be VR’s strongest pull, rather than its ability to create modes of interactivity or even of play.
This E3 was a good one for virtual reality. Next year we should see more clearly how far VR’s video game piggy back ride has run its course.

Red Crystal Palace
attempts to heal a fractured future
Red Crystal Palace was a mobile tent with a crystal ball inside, operated by a nurse seeking predictions about the future from people on the street. In exchange, the nurse shared free tea and red crystals with participants.
The nurse asked people 3 questions:
1- Who will be the next president?
2- When will the war in Iraq be over?
3- What will you be doing five years from now?
The nurse visited Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Chicago with her tent on wheels.
In exchange for their time, project participants were given potassium ferricyanide crystals.
Visitors could consult the crystal ball inside the tent for hints to answer the nurse’s questions.
Interview tapes were broadcast via short-range AM station during the Multimediale DC festival in April 2007.
Provisions Library Gallery in Dupont Circle, Washington DC.
INTERVIEWS RECORDED IN 2007: 26 March and 21 July in Chicago, 7 April in Los Angeles, 6 May in Washington DC. First edit was broadcast in Washington DC on a short-range AM transmission in late April as part of the Multimediale Festival and throughout the summer.

“What do you wanna do today?” Josh looked at his friend, David. “I’m bored. I’m tired of just hangin’ around the house, but it’s too hot to do anything else.”
“I figured we’d go downtown,” said David.
“Downtown? I don’t wanna go downtown,” said Josh. “It’s too hot and hotter there with all those people and all those tall, granite buildings and no shade.”
“Precisely why we should go?”
“Why in the Hell would you want to roast in the concrete jungle downtown, when we could go to the beach and, at least, jump in the water, when we got too hot?”
“Because, duh, dummy, today is Nude Day. Today is the one day in the year of naked women’s tits, asses, and pussies publically displayed and legally exposed for our viewing pleasure,” said David rubbing his hands together with excitement. “No matter if it’s illegal to be so exposed all the other days of the year, today Nude Day celebrators are given a free pass, so long as it’s a woman and not a man exposing himself.”
“Where downtown? I don’t want to be endlessly walking around in the hot sun looking for naked women in the way we did last year,” said Josh.
“No matter where we go downtown, the park, a bar, or just aimlessly walking around, there’s always naked or semi-naked chicks out and about on Nude Day. Some brave soul is always walking around naked or taking off her blouse and bra. Then, of course, there’s the Nude Day parade. I don’t want to miss that public display of skin.”
“Nude Day parade? Last year the Nude Day parade was filled with gay men and lesbian women, not that there’s anything wrong with gay men and lesbian women, but I’d rather go to the beach,” said Josh.
“The beach? We always go to the beach. You always want to go to the beach. The beach, the beach, the beach, I’m tired of going to the beach. Why the beach?”
“I love walking the beach with my bare feet walking on the hot sand, while hearing the ocean in the background. It’s so calm and beautiful.”
“That’s bullshit,” said David. “You just want to go to the beach because of your foot fetish. You just want to see women’s naked feet, never mind seeing their tits, asses, and pussies.”
“So? At least I’m not leering at women, while hoping they strip naked one day a year on Nude Day. At least with my foot fetish, something that I can enjoy 365 days a year, whether women are barefoot, in high heels, open toed shoes, or flip flops, I’m more respectful of women,” said Josh agreeing with himself by nodding his head. “You spend all your time staring at women’s breasts and undressing them with their eyes, while the worst that I do is compliment them on their shoes and/or ask them if they’d like a foot massage,” said Josh, while clutching his hands to his chest, as if he was about to have an orgasm. “Ah, naked feet, lots of naked feet and toes. The beach is my Nirvana, my foot fetish Heaven. I love walking the beach. There’s not a better place to see more naked, women’s feet than at the beach.”
“Seriously, though and I realize that feet are your fetish, but aren’t you tired of seeing, touching, feeling, and smelling women’s feet? You work as a shoe salesman 40 hours a week, I’d think you’d be sick to death of women’s feet.”
“What are you nuts? Just as you never tire of seeing tits, I never tire of seeing, touching, feeling, and smelling women’s feet. I love women’s feet, whether naked feet or feet that are shrouded in white gym socks, or masked by pantyhose. Women’s feet are my passion,” said Josh looking as if he was going to have an orgasm in his pants.
“I dunno. I just don’t get it. I can’t see how you can even compare a woman’s foot to a woman’s breast. Give me tits any day to feet,” said David. “Definitely, I’d much rather suck a nipple than a toe.”
“Actually, working in a shoe store is not only about feet. You’d love working there. I get a lot of down blouses with women leaning down to look at their new shoes,” said Josh with a smile. “I get women, who come into the store, women who are so very modest, that you’d think their knees were cemented together. Then, I get the opposite women, who purposely flash me their panties, that is, if they’re even wearing any,” said Josh with a laugh. “If only they knew that I’m more interested in their feet than their tits, their panties, and their pussies, how shocked they’d be? If only they knew that what I really want is to suck their toes and lick their feet and not finger their pussies and lick their cunts.”
“Feet, feet, feet, it’s always about feet with you. Give it a rest. Seriously, Josh, don’t you ever get tired of women’s feet? Women have other and better parts than feet.”
“Not to me they don’t. I never get tired of seeing, feeling, and licking women’s feet. I live for women’s feet, in the way that you live for seeing, feeling, and sucking on women’s breasts,” said Josh.
“Oh, God, I just love tits. Don’t get bahis firmaları me started on tits,” said David. “No matter if they’re A cup, B cup, C cup, D cup, or, God help me, double D cup,” said David clutching his chest. “I love tits in the way you love feet.”
“I wish I could feel and lick every foot and suck on every toe that attracts my attention,” said Josh. “I’d be in Heaven.”
“And I wish I could feel every breast and suck on every nipple,” said David. “I’d be the happiest man alive.”
“God, open toed shoes and sandals drive me mad with desire!” Josh grabbed his crotch. “Seeing a women’s toe peeking out her shoe is much like you seeing a women’s cleavage peeking out her blouse.”
“Tube tops and low cut tops make me wild with lust!” David grabbed his crotch. “Every time I see a tube top, I want to pull it down to expose her breasts.”
“Yet, you do realize, of course, unlike you, who are attracted to every woman, who has breasts, no matter what she looks like, I’m more selective in my search for the perfect feet and toes. Not every foot sexually appeals to me,” said Josh with a look of a fashion designer rejecting a model for a crooked seam.
“That’s not true, Josh. I’m a connoisseur of breasts, too. My rule of thumb is that women must have two of them,” he said with a laugh. “All kidding aside, I don’t like them too big or too small or hanging too far down and/or breasts that aren’t shapely. Breasts that are flat and flabby don’t do anything for me either,” said David. “My favorite tits are firm, C cup breasts with big nipples. With her shoulders back and her chest puffed out, breasts that are displayed proudly are what makes me horny and what makes me glad that I was born a heterosexual man.”
“Much like you with your specific selection of breasts, there are some feet that do nothing for me. Fat feet, feet with cracked and yellowed toenails, and calloused feet with bunions are gross. Yuck,” said Josh. “Give me the delicate foot but not one that’s deformed by being squished in a high heel shoe all day. A smallish size six to size seven shapely foot is a work of art. I can just see Michelangelo sculpting the perfect woman’s foot, while touching, feeling, and licking her feet, as he created his masterpieces. You know,” said Josh leaning into his friend, as if about to tell him a secret. “Japanese women have the best feet. Matter of fact, Asian women have better feet than American women. As they do with the rest of their body, Asian women take better care of their feet.”
“Gees, don’t get me started on tits,” said David. “I love tits, areolas, and nipples. The bigger the tits the better, so long as they aren’t too big and disproportionate to the woman’s body, as are Dolly Parton’s and Pamela Anderson’s tits. Their tits are just too big. Tits make me crazy with lustful desire. They make my hands twitch and my fingers ache,” he said raising his hands shoulder high and opening and closing them. “Whenever I see a beautiful rack, my lips take the shape of a goldfish,” he said puckering his lips, as if he was a baby breastfeeding. “Playing with a women’s tits and fingering her nipples, while she sucks my cock is better than winning the lottery.”
“Feet do that to me,” said Josh, holding his hands at thigh level, while opening and closing them. “Sometimes, without the woman even knowing, I stare at her feet, especially whenever I find the perfect pair that’s so blatantly exposed in an open toed shoe or sandal. If only they knew I was lusting over their feet. I’ve always wondered if there are women, who find their feet as sexually arousing and sensually seductive, as I do. Yeah, sure, lots of women love a foot massage, but I’m looking for that one special woman, who wants as much attention paid to her feet, as I’ll willing to give.”
“I still can’t believe that I was turned down for that mammography job they posted at the hospital. I am a male nurse, after all. It isn’t as if I’m just a guy walking in off the street with a breast fetish applying for a mammography job. I’d love nothing better than to position women’s breasts through two panes of glass, while squeezing them. Oh, my God, I’m getting an erection just thinking about seeing and touching so many tits every day. I swear, I’d work for nothing.”
“Which is why they’d never hire a man to give women a mammography test,” said Josh with a laugh.
“Lesbians have it made,” said David. “Lesbians could give mammography tests to women and no one would suspect them of getting aroused from seeing, touching, and feeling so many breasts. I betcha doctors get aroused seeing, touching, and feeling so many breasts, too. I betcha doctors go home and masturbate over all the tits they’ve seen.”
“Too bad you didn’t continue with your education and go to medical school,” said Josh. “The guys who have it made are plastic surgeons, those who do breast implants and breast augmentation surgeries. They see, touch, and feel tits all day long. Maybe you could work for one of them.”
“Nah, applied and denied, kaçak iddaa I’ve already looked into that. They only hire beautiful women,” said David looking at his friend with curiosity. “So, why are you suddenly on the foot fetish kick again? I thought you were cured of your foot fetish. What happened with Doctor McCracken that you were seeing for a while?”
“Doctor McCracken is more twisted than I am. We share the same foot fetish, but he’s a cross dresser. He even showed me his collection of women’s shoes,” said Josh with a laugh. “Admittedly, it was fun going through his collection of shoes, but at size 12, watching him modeling women’s shoes did nothing for me,” said Josh making a sour face. “Watching him model those ridiculously huge gun boats that he had for shoes made me feel, as if I was in a Woody Allen spoof of a movie,” said Josh laughing.
“No way! I never pegged old McCracken for a cross dresser. He’s 6’5″ tall. Not a good looking man, looking a bit like Howard Sterns, he must make for one ugly woman.”
“Yeah, I can’t even imagine him dressed in drag. You should see his closet, though. His closet is filled with flats, pumps, sandals, sneakers, espadrilles, flip flops, and heels, especially stilettos. Oh, my God, I love stilettos. He doesn’t want his wife to know, which is the reason why he keeps his shoe collection under lock and key at his office,” said Josh with a laugh. “I told my Mom that he cured my foot fetish, which is why I’m telling her that I’m going downtown with you to see naked and semi-naked women for Nude Day and to watch the Nude Day parade, instead of going to the beach to see feet. She’d think me more normal wanting to see naked women than just wanting to see naked feet.”
“Are you still giving your Mom foot massages?”
“Oh, God, yeah. Every night I get an erection, while rubbing her feet. She always raises her skirt higher than necessary, whenever I give her a foot massage. I suspect she knows that I’m aroused massaging her feet, because she rests her heel against my throbbing cock and subtly wiggles it around, as if giving me a foot hand job,” said Josh with a laugh. “I love rubbing my swollen cock against her soft feet, only I can’t help but get the feeling that she wants me to massage more than just her feet, if you know what I mean.”
“Gees, Josh. That’s incest. Next you’ll be telling me that you took a bath with your Mom, while washing her feet.”
“Oh, God, I’d love to be naked with her in the bathtub, while washing her feet,” said Josh closing his eyes and looking, as if he was imagining the scenario. “She’s always flashing me her panty in up skirts, her naked pussy in up nightgowns, her bra in down blouses, and breasts in down nightgowns.”
“Not that I’d ever want to see any part of her, but I’ve never seen any part of my Mom,” said David. “Your Mom is hot. My Mom is not.”
“I can’t tell you how many times my Mom has caught me masturbating. Whenever she sees my erect cock, she stares at it, before closing my bedroom door without saying anything. I’ve heard her masturbating a few times and, figuring she was masturbating over me, I was tempted to open her bedroom door and watch her play with her pussy, while I massaged her feet.”
“Tell your Mom that I’ll massage her breasts. She has a great rack. I’d love to see, feel, fondle, and caress her big tits, before sucking her big nipples.”
“Hey, that’s my mother you’re talking about.”
“Sorry,” said David falling quiet for a moment. “I’m just curious.”
“Curious about what?”
“Have you seen them?”
“Seen what?”
“Your Mom’s tits?”
“Gees, David, you’re such a pervert, when it comes tits.”
“C’mon tell me. Have you seen them?”
“Yeah, I have. So?”
“No way. How did you get to see them?” With his eyes bugging out of his head, David straightened his posture and was at full attention to hear about Josh seeing his mother’s tits. Even though I’ve tried to sneak a peek, I’ve never seen my Mom’s tits,” said David with obvious disappointment that was quickly replaced by the sexual excitement of what Josh said.
“My Mom is always flashing me her breasts. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen her big tits.”
“No way. Oh, my God. Be still my heart,” said David clutching his chest again, as if he was having a heart attack.
“I’ll be sitting on her bed talking to her and suddenly, she’ll stand and remove her bathrobe and put on her bra, while looking at me in her mirror.”
“Is she naked?”
“No, she’s wearing panties, but still, her naked tits are right there, three feet away from me,” said Josh.
“You lucky bastard. I can’t believe you saw your Mom’s tits. What do they look like? Tell me.”
“I’m not going to tell you about my Mom’s tits. You’ll start masturbating. Tell me about your Mom’s feet and then maybe I’ll tell you about my Mom’s tits.”
“My Mom’s feet? What’s to tell? They’re two feet with ten toes. All feet look alike to me, except for men’s feet. Men’s feet are kaçak bahis gross. They all have hair growing out of them.”
“Your Mom looks like she’d have nice feet. I’d love to cum all over your mom’s feet,” said Josh looking up at his friend.
“Fuck you, Josh. And I’d love to cum all over your Mom’s breasts,” said David fingering his cock through his pants.
“Did you ever give your Mom a foot massage?”
“Me give my Mom a foot massage? What are you nuts? No. That’s gross. I’d never touch my Mom’s feet. Yuck. I’d rather eat nails.”
“I’ll let you massage my Mom’s breasts, if you let me massage her feet,” said Josh.
“Yeah, sure, right. As if that would ever happen. Me massaging your Mom’s breasts and you massaging my Mom’s feet isn’t up to us,” said David, suddenly studying his friend. “If only we could and if only they would, how do we get our Mom’s to go along with that?”
“We can get them drunk,” said Josh with seriousness.
“My Mom doesn’t drink,” said David.
“Oh, well. It’s a good thing there are as many breasts out there, as there are feet,” said Josh.
“C’mon, Josh I really wanted to go to the Nude Day festivities downtown,” said David. “Please?”
“In the way that most women strip practically naked at the beach, we’ll see more at the beach than we’d ever see downtown, especially if we go off the beaten path.”
“Off the beaten path? What do you mean, off the beaten path?”
“If we walk along the other end of the beach, past the fence,” said Josh with a sinister grin, “we’ll see topless, maybe even naked women.”
“We can’t walk there. That’s all private, Josh. We’re not supposed to be there. We’ll be arrested for trespassing.”
“I know it’s all private, but feet are feet to me, whether on a public beach or a private beach. The real difference is for you. The women on that private beach sun topless and naked. So long as we keep walking, they won’t bother us. Who knows, we may even get lucky.”
“Okay, let’s go. I really need to see some tits today.”
Josh and David walked along the pubic beach and continued all the way down the beach and past the fence that held the sign, Private, No Trespassing. As soon as they entered the privately declared domain, everything changed. It was as if they were at a different beach. The sand was whiter and cleaner. The homes were bigger and more luxurious. Then, they saw what they hoped they’d see, naked women.
Oblivious to them staring, they saw a few topless women sunbathing, but they were either at a distance from them, facing the other way, or lying on their stomachs. They couldn’t make out much of the details of their naked breasts or their naked feet. With the private beach much smaller than the public beach, about to come to the end of the private beach and turn around to return the other way to walk the length of the public beach again, an older woman lying out naked and holding up a martini glass, called them over.
“Yoo-hoo! Hello?” She waved them over.
“Hi,” said Josh.
“Hi,” said David.
“Please don’t mind me. I’m a naked, old, drunken broad,” she said with a laugh, while brushing aside her shoulder length blonde hair. “Would you give me a hand?”
Immediately Josh looked down at her tanned feet and painted toes, while David stared at her big sagging breasts and exposed nipples.
“Sure,” said Josh.
“Sure,” said David.
“I’m sitting on this old, rickety, uncomfortable lawn chair because I don’t have a ladder high enough to reach my chaise lounge chair in the garage. The man who cleaned out my garage last fall stored the thing on a hook that’s too high up for me to reach. I don’t have anyone else to ask. My neighbors don’t like me because I’m a naked drunk. They’d never allow their husbands to help me for fear that I might steal them,” she said with a laugh, while staring at them. “Truth be told, I don’t want their old husbands. I’m into much younger men,” she said pausing, while laughing, “men more your age. All of my ex-husbands were younger than me, except for the last one, he was older, but damn, if I can remember his name,” she laughed.
“Sure no problem,” said Josh. “We’ll get your chair for you.”
Josh and David followed the woman to her garage and David gave Josh ten fingers up to reach her chaise lounge chair.
“Thank you. Thank you, so very much,” said the woman standing there in the buff, while sipping her martini. “I hope I’m not embarrassing you boys, but I was once a nudist. Now that I’m older, I really don’t give a care who sees me naked.”
“You have a great body,” said David staring at her breasts.
“You’re in wonderful shape,” said Josh staring down at her feet.
“Oh, pooh,” she said. “I’m old and wrinkled,” she said looking down to where David stared at her breasts and to where Josh stared at her feet. “If you don’t mind, can you just check the chair for spiders, before setting it up in front of my house on my private beach space? I hate spiders.”
“No problem,” said David.
Both men checked the chair for spiders, before lugging it to the beach.
“Thank you,” she said. “I so missed my chair. If I had my purse with me, I’d give you a tip.”

The Senior Bowl is an All-Star Game consisting of players from all the high schools across Alberta where the teams are split in a "North" vs. "South" fashion. The planning for each years Senior Bowl actually begins in November as the coaching staffs for both the “North” and “South” All-Star teams are picked from the ranks of the high schools throughout the province. The staff’s are filled from the provincial finalist teams in Tier I, II, III, IV and 6-Man and championship teams from leagues with no provincial final representation. In April two selection camps are held to screen the over 600 nominee players from the team leagues in Alberta and out of it two 40+ man teams were finalized. Finally over the May long weekend the teams reconvene for a three day training camp followed by an Awards Banquet and the Senior Bowl Game. Since 1990 the concept of showing off the best talent that Alberta high schools have that was dreamed of in 1968 has come true. With the continued support of its sponsors the game will continue to grow in its tradition and interest. Sometimes dreams do come true.
Senior Bowl All-Time Records
SENIOR BOWL 2019
North - 23
South 14
The 30th Senior Bowl was played on May 20th under blustery May Long Weekend Conditions. It had been since 2014 that the North was victorious in this All-Star Game for Graduating Grade 12 players but the North did indeed prevail this day 23-14 at Hellard Field in Calgary before a packed house of 1246 spectators.
The South opened the scoring with 80 yard TD run from Crescent Heights (Med. Hat) tailback Kaden Wagner but it was all North from there with 23 unanswered points with touchdowns from QB Silas Fagnan from Bonnyville and a scoop and score from Holy Rosary (Lloydminster) defensive end Dominic Caco sandwiched around three field goals from Austin O’Brien’s (Edmonton) Ethan Hartman. The South made it interesting late with TD pass from Henry Wise Wood (Calgary) QB K.J. Stembridge to Medicine Hat’s Lachlan Hardiker early in the forth to pull within 9 points but the North ran out the clock to preserve the victory.
The M.V.P.’s of the game were Fagnan for the North and defensive back/kicker Jonathan Guistini from Notre Dame in Calgary for the South. In 30 years of history the South continues to lead the series 16-13-1.
Earlier in the day in the Junior Bowl for U16 players the South made a comeback capped by a 18 yard FG with 2 minutes left to take the game 14-13. As well, in the 6-Man All-Star Game held in Lacombe the South prevailed over the North 44-20.

On February 10, 1968; the executive of the then Alberta Football Coaches Association (a forerunner to Football Alberta) met in Red Deer to discuss the concept of an Alberta High School Football All-Star Game to be known as the “Senior Bowl”. The proposal involved the creation of two teams in a “North” vs. “South” fashion from the 56 High School football teams in Alberta.
Due to factors beyond their control the game did not occur and the idea remained dormant until it was resurrected in 1988 at a Football Alberta’s Planning Meeting. Even then it was a full two years until Rocky Mountain House’s Craig Berger kicked off for the “North” to St. Francis’s Sam Scalise of the “South” in Commonwealth Stadium on July 7, 1990 to begin what is now an annual event.
Today, the game is not much different from the proposal made in 1968. It is a contest between the best high school football players in Northern Alberta (from Red Deer north) against their counterparts in Southern Alberta selected from the 105 High Schools currently with football programs.
Since 1990 the concept of showing off the best talent that Alberta high schools have that was dreamed of in 1968 has come true. With the continued support of its sponsors the game will continue to grow in its tradition and interest. Sometimes dreams do come true.
The planning for each years Senior Bowl actually begins in November as the coaching staffs for both the “North” and “South” All-Star teams are picked from the ranks of the high schools throughout the province.
The staff’s are filled from the provincial finalist teams in Tier I, II, III, IV and 6-Man and championship teams from leagues with no provincial final representation. In April two selection camps are held to screen the over 600 nominee players from the team leagues in Alberta and out of it two 40+ man teams were finalized. Finally over the May long weekend the teams reconvene for a three day training camp followed by an Awards Banquet and the Senior Bowl Game.
On a bright, sunny, perfect day for football, the “South” All-Star team took their fourth Senior Bowl title in a row with a 38-23 win over the “North” in front of 1528 fans at Foote Field in Edmonton. John Evans of LCI was a star of the show for the South as the quarterback may have suffered in the passing category only going 3 for 11 but made up for it with his legs rushing for 181 yards (second on all time rushing list behind Ted Kubongo from Notre Dame in Calgary with 196 set in 2016) and 2 TD’s.

For their efforts Evans for the South and Withrow for the North were the MVP’s for their respective teams while the Lineman of the Game awards went to Kyle Thiess from Lloydminster from the North and Nils Haeni from Olds for the South.

The second half saw the South get their act together and continue to stymie the North offense while scoring their first TD of the game on a 43 yard TD pass from St. Francis’ Cole Belway to Cochrane’s Zach Rabe. A successful convert and single on the kickoff plus a safety added later in the third make it 13-9 for the South going into the final quarter. Touchdowns from L.C.I.’s Tanner Sudo on a 4 yard run followed up less than a minute later with a pick six from Henry Wise Wood’s Trey Dube pushed the score to 26-9. A late TD from Holy Rosary’s (Lloydminster) Tommy Yanchuk made it 26-15 (failed 2 pt. convert) for the North was too little too late and the South hung on to win their 15 Senior Bowl title in the 28 years of the game.
Defenses ruled the day at the 2017 Senior Bowl as they both racked up a pick-six TD and held the respective offenses in check until the fourth quarter. The North opened the scoring in the first quarter with a safety that was quickly followed by a 37 yard FG from Jaden Sheilan of the South from St. Francis (Calgary) making it 3-2 for the South at the end of the 1st. The second quarter was all North as the defense stood tall and added a pick six from Notre Dame’s (Red Deer) Payton LaGrange who took it 44 yards to the house making it 9-3 at the half for the North.
Post game honors went to Notre Dame’s (Red Deer) Jacob Plamondon and Henry Wise Wood’s Tyrese Best who were the North and South Linemen of the Game respectively. The North MVP was Payton LaGrange from Red Deer’s Notre Dame H.S. who had a pick-six interception, two knockdowns, and was a demon on special teams. The South’s MVP was Henry Wise Wood’s defensive back Trey Dube who had a busy day with a pick-six interception, one knock down, and a blocked punt.
In the 6-Man All-Star Game the final score was South 39 North 22.

From there Jasper Place’s Patrick O’Neill hit Harry’s Ainlay’s Davie Abedeyo for a 10 yard score with 45 seconds left in the half. The score remained 10-7 at the half.

Capitalizing on another “South” turnover, Abedeyo took it over from seven yards out to put the “North” up 14-10 late in the third quarter and that score held up the remainder of the way. The “South” had their chances but a missed FG by Byrne from 43 yards out with 10 minutes left and an apparent TD pass to Kyle Moortgat from Cochrane which was called back on a holding penalty with 2:27 left in the game were a close as they came.

After 21 years the Senior Bowl record of wins and losses was finally tied up by the “North” with a convincing 24-17 win over the “South” to make the series 10-10-1 since 1990. The “South” made it interesting early sprinting out to a 10-0 lead on the strength of a 27 yard field goal by Henry Wise Wood’s Steven McCaffrey and a 19 yard TD pass from Foothill’s Brad Karl to Central Memorial’s Adam Osterling. The “North” then roared back in the second quarter to tie the game at the half on the strength of a fake field goal TD pass from Harry Ainlay’s Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren to Mallan Roberts out of M.E. LaZerte and a 27 yard field goal from St. Albert’s Jean-Luc Budgeaud. The “North” scored twice in the second half again with trickery on a third down gamble pass from Gilbert-Knorren to St. Albert’s Keaton Hoddinott and a bootleg by Gilbert-Knorren. The “South” came back late on a 14 yard TD pass from Karl to Braden Heffernan from Central Memorial but that’s as close as they came. For their efforts both Gilbert-Knorren and Karl were named MVP’s for their respective teams.
At Calgary’s McMahon Stadium on a cold, wet holiday Monday, the “North” streaked to a 23-7 first quarter lead on the strength of two Danny Sawchuk touchdowns and two Andrew Jevne field goals. The Peace River receiver scored on one pass reception from Bev Facey’s Adam Seniuk and one fumble recovery in the end zone while the Sylvan Lake receiver/kicker was good from 17, 24, and 32. The “South” countered back right before the half on a one yard plunge by Raymond’s Storm Bartsoff (the convert failed). The “North” opened the second half with a touchdown pass from Garrett Gleisner to St. Albert’s Aaron Watkins which was answered later in the quarter by the “South” with Bartsoff’s second touchdown of the day (2 point convert attempt failed).

Lead by the record breaking performance of Leduc quarterback Ben Gorniak, the “North” defeated the “South” 31-21 in front of 1,425 fans at Edmonton’s Foote Field on Monday, May19, 2008.
The “South” started off strong taking their first drive the distance with Springbank’s Tom Shaw hauling in a 53 yard bomb from Cochrane’s Brent Serhyenko. The “North” then fired back immediately with Harry Ainlay’s David Berg taking the ensuing kickoff 76 yards for the first ever kickoff return for a touchdown in the Senior Bowl to make it 7-7. The “North” then controlled the rest of the first half adding a 7 yard TD run by St. Albert’s Chris Dobko and a 37 yard fieldgoal from Strathcona’s Billy Harvey to make it 17-7 at the break.
At the beginning of the third quarter it was all “South” again as Highwood’s Bryce Brandford hooked up with St. Francis’s Taylor Nill for a 13 yard score to draw to within 3 points on their first drive. The “North” answered later in the quarter with a 21 yard strike from Gorniak to Nicholas Ross from Salisbury to up the lead to 10 once again. On the last play of the third the “South” struck again on a one yard sneak by Serhyenko and that cut the lead to a field goal again and it stayed that way until 30 seconds left in the game when Gorniak hooked up with Ross again for a 17 yard TD on a gutsy 3rd and 5 call to seal the deal for the “North”.
With 9 seconds left in the game Lord Beaverbrook’s Braeden George hauled in a 37 yard touchdown pass from his schoolmate Trent Peterson for the winning score for the “South” in a tightly played game in front of 1,123 fans at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium. This was definitely a defensive struggle as both high powered offenses had a hard time getting on track. St. Francis’s Anthony DeZorzi lead the way for the “South” as the linebacker recorded seven solo tackles, a quarterback sack, and a fumble recovery on his way to being named his teams Most Valuable Player while St. Francis Xavier safety Rhys Coppens won the M.V.P. honors for the “North with two interceptions along with 124 yards in kickoff return yardage.

Strathcona quarterback Corbin Sharun opened the scoring on the opening play of the second quarter with a six yard TD run that was followed up 13 minutes later with a Sharun to Bev Facey receiver Kevin Wuthrich touchdown pass to put the “North” up 14-0 at the half.
The “South” opened the second half with a single on the kickoff then made it interesting late after the “North” could only muster two singles in the second half with a late TD from Henry Wise Wood’s Josh Leung on 22 yard TD pass from his schoolmate Graham Kelba with 55 seconds left. A fumble on the next “North” possession made it interesting as the “South” moved the ball down deep into “North” territory before turning it over on downs with 8 seconds left. For their efforts the linemen of the game were Bishop O’Byrnes Josh Symons for the “South” and Lac La Biche’s Brett Waine for the “North”. The Most Valuable Players of the Game were Wuthrich for the “North” and Bowness linebacker Nickalas Blevins for the “South”
Several records fell at McMahon Stadium on Monday, May 23rd as the South ran up the largest point total of any team beating the old record by 17 points. One major reason was the play of St. Francis receiver Marco Ianuzzi who recorded 282 total yards including 169 yards rushing and three TD’s on seven carries to set a new Senior Bowl record.
2004 GAME RECAP - NORTH 29 SOUTH 21 (OT)
The first ever overtime game in Senior Bowl history saw a flurry of scoring in the 1st quarter followed by a defensive struggle in the 2nd and 3rd which was finally capped off by another barrage of scoring in the 4th. The “South” leapt out to an early 14-0 lead on the strength of a 73 yard interception return by St. Francis’ Mike Viani and a 45 yard strike from Bowness’ Jason Borodenko to Henry Wise Wood receiver Ahmad Borhot. The “North” countered with a 6 yard run by St. Albert’s Devon Jones to end the first.
The fireworks came again in the 4th quarter as a “South” TD from Foothills Mark Vandal was followed by two field goals from Fort Saskatchewan’s Tyler Mariacci and a TD from Cameron Thomas out of Eastglen (followed by a 2 pt. Convert completion to Archbishop O’Leary’s Damon Fraietta) to tie the score for the “North” and sent the game to overtime where Salisbury’s Tyler Budinski rambled 17 yards for the winning TD.
The MVP’s were Borodenko for the “South” and David Raborn out of Bev Facey for the “North” who set a new mark for receiving yards with 7 catches for 129 yards.
The 14th annual game featured two distinctly different halfs of football as the “North” completely dominated the first half only to see the “South” put together a furious rally in the second half to win their first game since 1998.
Strathcona tailback Tyler O’Gorman was the star of the show in the first half as he racked up all 26 points for the “North” which included three touchdowns, three converts, a field goal and two singles to set a new record for points scored in a Senior Bowl (almost doubling the old record of 15). Then things took a complete turnaround as the “South”, lead by Henry Wise Wood QB Mark Stinson and L.C.I.’s multi-talented linebacker/tight-end Andrew Patzer, scored four unanswered TD’s in the second half to vault them pas the “North” and win the game.
For their efforts, O’Gorman took the M.V.P. honors for the “North” while Patzer was named M.V.P. for the “South”.
With the “North” clinging to a one point lead late in the third quarter defensive back Adam Skitsko out of Archbishop Jordan reached into the sky and put the game away as he returned an interception 25 yards for the TD that put his team up 21-13 in front of a new record crowd of 1,435.
This marked the third time in four years that the “North” had been victorious and the fourth year in a row that the “South” has gone home from the game they had dominated in the 90’s empty handed.
Things looked good for the “South” early as they opened the scoring on a 27 yard FG only to see the “North” score twice on a 90 yard run by Archbishop Jordan QB Jay Meraw and a 14 yard TD reception by Bellerose slotback T.J. Warren by the end of the 1st quarter. The “South” made in interesting with a 12 yard TD reception by Bishop McNally’s Jermaine Campbell late in the half and a 17 yard FG from L.J. Wall out of Ernest Manning early in the third but Skitsko’s intereception sealed the day for the “North”.
L.C.I. offensive lineman Jeff Perrett was named the “South” M.V.P. while linebacker Brad Leier out of Whitecourt with almost twice as many tackles as anyone else took home “North” M.V.P. honors.
The first ever tie in Senior Bowl history as the “North” lead 14-4 with 4 minutes to go only to be caught by a furious “South” rally that tied it up with 1:36 seconds to go on Father Lacombe’s Michael Giacalone’s 41 yard run after a screen pass.
The “South” opened the scoring in the first half with a 24 yard FG off the foot of Winston Churchill’s Matt McDonald. He also added a single later in the half after the “North” went ahead on an amazing 92 yard TD run from Grande Prairie’s Jeff Halvorson.
The second half was quiet until Strathcona’s Cam Linke hit his teammate Mark Rogers for a 29 yard TD pass with 6 minutes to go in the game to put the “North” up 14-4. This was followed by a 35 yard FG from McDonald then Giacalone’s run to tie it up. The “North” had a final chance with 7 seconds left but Sir Winston Churchill’s Derek van den Brink blocked the FG attempt from the 22 yard line to preserve the tie.
Linebacker Jason Bobst was named the “North” M.V.P. while quarterback Charles Guedo was the M.V.P for the “South”.
A thriller as for the first time in the history of the Senior Bowl the game was decided on the last play.
The game started off with a bang as Lord Beaverbrook’s Morgan Alexander hauled in an Senior Bowl record 82 yard pass from Bowness’ Brian Hill to take the lead on the first play of the game. That was quickly followed by two TD’s from the “North’s” Willie Shulba out of Archbishop Jordan with a 5 yard run and a 63 yard punt return. Lloydminster’s Brad Ollen added a FG and the “North” lead at the half 17-8.
The second half saw the “South” pull ahead with two rushing TD’s from Foothills’ Kyle Maclean and Luke Mayer out of L.C.I. but the drive of the game came late as Jasper Place’s Matt Burrows hauled in two clutch catches on 3rd down to keep the “North’s” final drive alive. Sexsmith QB Darrell Moe finished it off with a one yard plunge for the TD on the final play to win 23-22.
For their efforts Burrow’s was named the “North” M.V.P. and Mayer was named the “South” M.V.P.
