| Bryant's fans' memories, Part Two
Being a photojournalist working at the Birmingham News in the late 1970's and early 1980's I have great memories of Coach "Bear" Bryant. I was only 18-years old when I got to photograph "Bear" for the first time. I had to shoot one of the practices in Tuscaloosa for the newspaper.

England, with Brian Ashton settled and in charge of his own team, will look to build slowly. Momentum is everything for England. There is no need for them, as Lievremont has done, to bung in a load of new players. Tom Croft and Danny Cipriani can be introduced when they are ready, ideally in the last half-hour of a game that is already in the bag.
How a blimp helped the condo boom
The niche for Gary Lockhart's flying camera service literally spans the globe: the airspace between ground level and 1,000 feet. Lockhart specializes in flying cameras in a "blimp" — technically an aerostat, or tethered balloon — in places where helicopters and airplanes can't go. He uses standard digital cameras and a custom-made aerial camera that he says produces the highest-resolution panoramic images in existence. .
