In the past few months, Facebook's patent portfolio has grown exponentially as a result of acquisitions of patent portfolios from IBM and Microsoft. After acquiring 650 AOL patents and patent applications from Microsoft, the company now has approximately 1,400 patent assets. Amazingly, only 46 of these assets (24 issued patents and 22 published applications) were originally filed by Facebook.
In recent years, Facebook has consistently looked to the outside to augment its IP holdings with strategic acquisitions of patent assets. The company paid 40 million for the Friendster social networking patent portfolio, acquired a group of patents from Walker Digital, and another from Hewlett-Packard. These deals expanded the portfolio to approximately 160 patent assets prior to Yahoo's lawsuit being filed. After Facebook's IPO decision, and the subsequent patent suit by Yahoo, Facebook has kicked its patent acquisition program into overdrive.
Many point to the Yahoo lawsuit as the reason for the Microsoft and IBM acquisitions. The the AOL portfolio could useful to Facebook in defending itself against Yahoo. However, now Yahoo is trying to have other patents Facebook bought after being sued by the web portal invalidated because Facebook purchased them specifically to use in a retaliatory counter-suit. In any case, it would have been significantly cheaper for Facebook to settle with Yahoo instead of taking this aggressive approach.
So who is Facebook so worried about that it would spend so much on buying intellectual property? The types of patents being acquired tell part of the story. Facebook has emphasized acquiring older assets, which it could not have developed on its own. Facebook's oldest patent was filed in 2004, the same year the company was created. A typical patent application currently takes approximately 3-4 years to be issued. Developing a patent portfolio in the social networking space is challenging because the popularity of social networking companies has resulted in the space being littered with both patent and non-patent prior art. As a result, companies, such as Facebook, that initially largely ignored growing their IP portfolios, cannot rely on filing its own applications to develop a substantive IP portfolio.
The IBM and AOL patent acquisitions give Facebook access to IP that is significantly older than Facebook's own IP. Older patents are subject to fewer prior art, making them more difficult to defend against. In addition, older patents provide leverage for the asserting party by allowing collection of up to six years of damages from the infringer. Such patents are therefore especially helpful in dealing with established parties having significant resources and sophisticated legal teams.
The technology areas of the IBM and AOL patents are also telling. The patents Facebook acquired from IBM are rumored to be in the networking and software space. AOL's patents are largely directed to email, instant messaging, web browsing, search, ads, mobile, & ecommerce. Together, these are technology areas that Facebook likely never expected to find itself competing in when the company was first founded because it may not have realized that their product would evolve into the messaging/advertising/ecommerce platform that it is today. These are also technology areas that are core to Google, one of Facebook's biggest threats.
In the past year, Google introduced Google+, a direct competitor and challenger to Facebook. While Google+ has only had moderate success to date, Facebook likely felt exposed against Google's significantly larger and ever-expanding patent portfolio. These patent acquisitions provide Facebook with some protection as the competition between the two companies heats up. In addition, the rumors of an Android-based Facebook phone have been revived, which could bring Facebook directly into the litigious mobile space, where Google is one of the main players.
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Facebook and Microsoft have worked together with Google in mind. In October 2007, the two companies entered into an Internet advertising partnership. That deal was seen as a way for Microsoft to counter Google's Internet advertising position. It makes sense that the two companies would again collaborate to respond to a potential threat from Google.
Thus, while the acquisitions may be helpful to Facebook in dealing with Yahoo, it is likely that these acquisitions have less to do with Yahoo than with Facebook's anticipation of future litigation. Specifically, Facebook appears to be preparing for increased competition with Google. It bears watching whether the companies will look to their patent acquisitions as part of this strategy. Of course, such protection has the added benefit of helping to increase Facebook's IPO value, making this decision a no-brainer for the company.
Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over 1 billion monthly active users. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004, initially as an exclusive network for Harvard students. It was a huge hit: in 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network. Zuckerberg immediately recruited his friends Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Eduardo Saverin to help build Facebook, and within four months, Facebook added 30 more college networks.

Risky environments for children and their families
Children raised in food insecure households are at increased risk of academic, health, and socio-emotional problems. In addition to being exposed to food insecurity in their households, these children are at greater risk of having mothers who are depressed, having inadequate access to health care, and living in homes that are unstable.
The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) will host a symposium during its Biennial Meeting that brings together scientists from a variety of disciplines�including nutrition sciences, human development, public health, economics, family science, and public policy�to consider this issue from many perspectives. Among the questions that will be addressed:

Café Bern Review
This dark, woody, and well-worn café—as evocative as a Jan Steen 17th-century interior—has been serving the same simple cheese fondue for decades. Get salads to start (they offer five types to choose from, for only €5) and then dunk those bread bits into the wonderfully cheesy mess. Besides their cheese fondue, they also offer a steak entrecote that you cook at the table. Don't come for a romantic meal; you'll very likely be sharing a communal table with a group of boisterous locals out to celebrate.

A new Facebook application called the Social Jobs Partnership launched earlier today allows recruiters to post job listings directly on Facebook. This appears to be the same Facebook job board project that the Wall Street Journal touched on back during the summer.
It may seem like a novel idea to use the social network for employment opportunities but according to research data, it's far from a new trend. A study from The National Association of Colleges and Employers (a Social Jobs Partnership member) reveals that half of employers are using Facebook to fill job openings. Furthermore, 54 percent of those employers believe the social network will become an even more integral part of the hiring process in the future.
Social Jobs Partnership brings together the aforementioned National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) along with the US Department of Labor, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies, DirectEmployers Association and Facebook.
There are already more than 1.7 million job listings online from the likes of BranchOut, DIrectEmployers, Jobvite, Monster.com and Work4Labs. Job listings can be sorted based on industry, location or skill level.
Some initially thought when the Journal story broke a few months ago that Facebook's involvement in a job search program could be a direct rival to LinkedIn in terms of employer recruiting. That, however, doesn't appear to be the case.
Instead, as Work4Labs CEO Stephane Le Viet points out, this could be a tipping point for the social recruiting industry. The executive says it will help people realize that there's more to Facebook than just pictures and friends. It can be used to make social connections that could lead to finding your next job or hiring some extra help.
People in america are jobless because they choose to be... this won't help.
But they aren't the ones that choose whether or not their application gets accepted instead of the application of another person.
Why not be jobless..... Welfare pays more $$$. I'm not jobless by the way and am lucky enough in this economy to have decent job that pays the bills
I'm tired of being a slave for $10 an hour. That's just enough to scrap by and the higher ups not only know it, are in favor of it while they live in their lives of luxury and push people around. The 'American Dream' has never been more broken and it continues to get worse.
I'm looking for jobs and no one hasn't told me about any welfare :'(

WED. UPDATE: Coast Guard Suspends Search and Lists Report as "Unfounded"
Case will be re-opened only if there is new information
The Coast Guard has suspended a search for a man in the ocean in front of Altantic Avenue, Point Beach, and will re-open the case only if there is new information.
By 10 p.m. Tuesday, the Coast Guard had left the scene.
Prior to that, a Coast Guard helicopter hovered over Point Pleasant Beach Tuesday night as emergency personnel responded to a report about a possible missing man, police and fire officials said.
By 10 p.m. no one had been found and most emergency responders had left the scene. A Coast Guard vessel and a few police boats had been searching since shortly after emergency responders were called to the scene at 7 p.m.
A helicopter used search lights as a report came in about a missing man wearing orange shorts having entered the water at the beach at Atlantic Avenue and then not seen again.
However, when emergency responders arrived at the beach, no one there was in distress, reporting anyone missing, said Lt. Joseph Michigan. He said Point Beach police, as well as police in neighboring towns, had not received any missing person report with a specific name.
So police could not confirm that someone had, in fact, gone into the water and not come out, Michigan said.
Ocean County Fire Marshal Daniel P. Mulligan, the Point Pleasant First Aid and Emergency Squad, Point Beach Fire Department and the Point Boro First Aid Squad also responded to the scene.

Another hoax, another waste of time and resources.

Until the teams aren't dispatched and a body washes up.

I don't believe I ever advocated not dispatching rescue units. I simply mentioned that it was a hoax and a waste of resources.
Peter Hagemeyer
9:14 am on Wednesday, July 11, 2012
OH MY GOD, SOMEONE WENT IN THE WATER AND DIDN'T COME OUT! (dispatch) do you know who it was, did they have anyone else with them? I DON"T KNOW, JUST SAW A GUY! (dispatch) ok, we'll wake up all the rescue teams and start searching the water immediately!
10:13 am on Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Better safe than sorry!!!! Wouldn't you want the same effort if it was your own? Who might have been in the water? Thats right, I forgot we live in the world of selfishness, we only worried about our own.
Mike Ryan
12:27 pm on Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Bottom line is that there HAS to be a response... and hoax needs to be punished severely if caught. Pay cash for all resources, pay a huge fine and spend time in jail.
5:57 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Mr. CS, You actually stated a waste of TIME and resources.... So why bother rescuing someone? It is a waste of Time....Gees, It is never a wasted time if you can possible save someone. Like Sam has stated....Unless it was your own, maybe then you would have no problem wasting Time and resources... It is not a hoax if someone thought they seen a person struggling in the water and then loss sight of them or if they came out. What a bone head you are.

Chrysler's stack comeback hits a snag
Sponsored by |

Chrysler often tries to evoke its muscle car glory days by adding nostalgic design cues to modern cars -- the Dodge Challenger, for example. But a plan to bring back the big-rig style dual exhaust stacks from the late-1970s L'il Red Express Truck appears to have hit a snag.
A new version of the short-wheelbase pickup was shown to dealers in Las Vegas last month, and Chrysler told them it was going to be built. But in a Twitter message, Chrysler design boss Ralph Gilles says modern regulations have put the kibosh on the smokestacks planned for the resurrected L'il Red Express Truck.
"We recently looked into the stack thing, they are now illegal, at least from an OEM," Gilles recently tweeted.
Chrysler said it was a matter of various safety regulations, not pollution rules, but didn't offer details.
Still, somebody might want to pass this on to Ford. Spy photographers this month snapped pictures of a Ford F-series Super Duty diesel mule sporting two big gleaming chromed stacks rising out of the pickup's bed.

Education "reform" is constantly in the news. It seems there is a trend sweeping the nation, with state governments from Florida to Tennessee to New Mexico working feverishly to overhaul education policy. Trends in education are nothing new, but this trend is not coming from within education. It's coming from ALEC (and no, not Baldwin).
You may have heard ALEC mentioned at some point or another, most likely through media coverage of legislative activity. The American Legislative Exchange Council is an entity with vast membership, deep pockets and an agenda that's no longer in the shadows. Its membership consists of both corporations and politicians.
Many New Mexico lawmakers are supposedly affiliated, according to sourcewatch.org. ALEC essentially creates template legislation that ANY state can use, and basically fill in a few blanks to make it their own. Why does this group care so much about public education? It isn't out of concern for children...it's out of concern for dead Presidents: Franklin, Grant, Jackson...anyone worthy of their face on our currency.
Teacher evaluation tied heavily to standardized test scores? School A-F letter grades? The mysterious and virtually impossible-to-decipher Value Added Models of calculating teacher and school "effectiveness"? Yes, ALEC is the source of all of these. ALECexposed.org has information - including a one-page fact sheet that breaks it down really well.
ALEC's focus is not only public education--the organization's reach extends into almost every aspect of your everyday life! If you really want to get an inside look, check out the Bill Moyers documentary "The United States of ALEC".

News: 2009 Press Release
Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner today announced that David Abraham, 48, of Santa Barbara, was charged on January 30 with one felony count of grand theft for allegedly stealing more than $1.3 million. If convicted, Abraham could face up to five years in prison.
"I want to make this crystal clear to anyone who attempts to take advantage of California consumers - we will find you, and we will prosecute you," said Commissioner Poizner. "Scamming unsuspecting people out of their hard-earned money is unacceptable, and the Department of Insurance will continue to crack down on fraud perpetrators."
Abraham, a licensed life insurance agent and former employee of Brown & Brown Insurance in Santa Barbara, is charged with twisting and churning annuity policies of his clients, many of whom are senior citizens. After selling a client an annuity policy, Abraham would allegedly wait until a policy was at least one year old so that he would retain a commission, and then transfer the annuity policy to another company. The transfer would result in a sizeable commission for Abraham, while the policyholders faced surrender charges of more than 10% of the principal.
He allegedly repeated this scheme until he had made more than $1.3 million in commission payments. When asked about the surrender charges by clients, Abraham purportedly told them that the new companies would pay bonuses to make up for the surrender penalties. The unsuspecting clients were not informed that they needed to maintain their annuities for a specified period of time in order to realize the bonuses. Abraham's clients suffered surrender penalties amounting to $1.9 million as a result of his alleged actions, while he made more than $1.3 million in commissions.
CDI investigators also discovered that Abraham allegedly changed his clients' mailing addresses to his home address on the new annuity policies, in order to conceal his actions. It is also alleged that Abraham fabricated policy statements with inaccurate figures using the original annuity company letterhead.
The Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office is prosecuting this case.
Commissioner Poizner oversees sixteen CDI Enforcement Branch regional offices throughout the state. Close to 1900 insurance fraud-related arrests have been made by the Department of Insurance's enforcement division since Commissioner Poizner took office in 2007 - more arrests than have been made during any other two year period, under any previous insurance commissioner.
Please visit the Department of Insurance Web site at www.insurance.ca.gov. Non media inquiries should be directed to the Consumer Hotline at 800.927.HELP. Callers from out of state, please dial 213.897.8921. Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDD), please dial 800.482.4833.

Often when tourists think of Florida vacation destinations while planning their coming vacation they automatically think of Disney World, Miami, Panama City Beach, and a few other sites. They generally focus on the large tourist trap areas and in turn have a cookie cutter vacation, rarely experiencing all of what Florida has to offer.
First off, Florida has a great system of State Parks that are cheap to enjoy and offer experiences from the Florida Keys to the western tip of the panhandle. One of these you would want to visit are the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park located just off the southern end of HWY 1. This facility offers snorkeling, scuba diving, glass bottom boats, fishing, camping and more and has some of the most beautiful underwater views in the United States.
The next spot to not miss is one of the oldest cities in the United States. St. Augustine is one of the most beautiful southern cities and includes southern charm, Spanish architecture and history, and is located next to some of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Historical sites, a dolphin conservation center, beaches, shopping and more will make any visit a memorable one.
These locations, along with some of the more secluded parks and getaways in the Panhandle make Florida more than just the tourist traps of Disney World, Busch Gardens, Miami Beach and more.

From what Ive seen, great service if you know someone. Otherwise, you're out of luck. Pretty good food but everything food and drinks are completely overpriced. They have the corner market on the outside seating so I guess they can pull it off.
IF CHRIS IS THE BARTENDER ** RUN AWAY !!!! **. great location, decent food - prices keep going up so it should be! they should be ashamed to serve the bag of potato chips that comes with sandwiches... there were 4 chips in the bag (talk about cheap!!!!) bartender CHRIS is unable to provide customer service (unless you are one of his friends) we found him to be rude and ignorant & no manager to complain to in sight.
Kitchen is a disaster. There were six of us on sunday, stopping for a quick bite before hitting the road back to NYC. Nothing quick about it. One of us was served about 40 minutes before everyone else. The only one at the table whose order was correct. One of us got a shampoo of green chili sauce by the very young and inexperienced food runner. The food(when we finally got it was mediocre at best. The only good thing about the meal was our waiter Pat who was very helpful. The whole time we were there, the manager was nowhere to be seen, you would think that a manager would be out among the severs to see that everything was going smooth. After the spill, the manager allowed the waiter to comp one beer for the table, I think after the terrible experience of dinning, he could have done a little more for us. I won't be back.

Just when you think things couldn't get anymore exciting at Long Island Cares to celebrate Harry Chapin's Legacy, we are so proud to announce that our Honorary Chair of our Endowment Campaign, Pat Benatar and her wonderful husband/guitarist, Neil Giraldo will be adding their names and generosity to our Legacy 30 Celebration from July 8-18th.
Pat and Neil are performing a "sold out" concert on Thursday, July 14th at the NYCB Theatre in Westbury. They are providing 4 tickets to Long Island Cares to conduct "The Elements of Five Tour Auction" to benefit Long Island Cares. For a minimum bid of $2,500, the winner will attend the concert and meet Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo backstage before the show for a special "Meet & Greet." Round trip limousine service will be provided courtesy of our friends at Ultimate Class Limousine. We are waiting to hear from the Vyada Hotel about donating dinner for four that evening.
In addition, Pat has invited Long Island Cares to set up our information table in the lobby of the theatre that evening to promote our Endowment Fund. And, she and Neil feel very possible that they will visit Long Island Cares in the afternoon to take part in a press conference. And, the winning bid will be matched as part of the NBTY Helping Hands Charity $100,000 Challenge. And, Newsday has just donated a half-page ad to promote the auction that will run this coming Friday, in addition to our website and Facebook page. Do you feel our excitement?

Looks nice but Sony memory sticks are a stickler.
This accept SD, SD-HC and SD-XC as well as the Memory Stick nonsense.
Sony really does need to quit the proprietary crap. The memory stick is one of the worst. They try to milk that little bit extra and it has hurt them in the long run. (I would love a Playstation Vita. But knowing I have to buy a proprietary card has kept me from it.) So come on Sony let's use SD cards please.

The simplicity of this eatery's name - Cheese Meat(s) Beer - provide no hint of the sophistication that these restaurateurs are providing. This is a great option for a tasty, out-of-the-ordinary snack, but meal-size dishes also are available.
The craft beer selections here are available in 4-ounce servings that enable customers to enjoy a bit of brew over lunch without feeling overly bibulous.
Several decades ago, when I did my newspaper work along the Mexican border, the multiple-beer lunch was not merely acceptable - it was almost mandatory. But those days are gone, and that is probably a good thing.
We started with the $12 cheese meats beer plate that included an excellent salami and a Vermont camembert-style cheese with local pickles and Bread Farm baguette, plus a 4-ounce serving of Monk's Uncle ale from Pike Brewing of Seattle. This makes a sensible-sized meal for one person or a decent shared nibble for two, and you can buy a second 4-ounce beer cup, or larger sizes if you prefer. You can also get the plate sans beer for $10, and there is a daily selection of wines by the glass.
We also tried the North African sausage, $8. Despite the name, this lamb sausage is house-made, not flown in from Libya. It had a bracing hot chili-and-cumin seasoning that went well with my second 4-ounce cup of beer. This dish is appetizer-sized, and comes with harissa, a red chili dipping sauce.
For one of our main courses, we chose the burger, $9, which comes with a lovely pile of baby greens and apple vinaigrette. The burger is made with Long Valley Ranch beef, house-made pickles and, for one more dollar, a slice of Beecher's Flagship white cheddar. Shell out that buck and get the cheese, which had just the amount of sharpness I like in my cheddar.
Also worth mention is the burger's chewy pretzel-style bun, which has enough substance to maintain structural integrity to the last bite. I hate it when burgers are served on buns that start to self-destruct at the halfway point.
Intending no disrespect to the already-nicely-seasoned burger, I dabbed on a bit of leftover harissa, and the experiment was a success.
Our other meal plate was a fork-tender milk-braised pork shoulder, $10, with corn bread terrine and spicy rhubarb jam. The jam was fiery rather than merely spicy, which was fine with us. The cornbread was crunchy and prepared without much sugar.
As the prices should indicate, the portions here are on the modest side, but side dishes and desserts are available for those who want to spend and eat more excessively. We piled on a chocolate chip scone, $2, for dessert, because the smell of them in the oven was more than we could resist.
Address: 250 Flora St., in the Whatcom Museum (museum admission not required).
Phone: 503-869-7541.
Hours: Noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; Saturday and Sunday all-day brunch, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Price range: $4 to $12.

The Potpourri Bathroom is a collection of toilet pictures that didn't seem to fit into any other bathroom. After throwing them together in their own bathroom, I realized how what a nice mixture, or "potpourri" they made. Hence, the name. Can you smell it? Can you smell the potpourri?

This picture was sent in by Lab Rat, whose sister fashioned these earings after the pull chain toilets from days gone by. Scroll down and you'll see a pair of outhouse earings made by the same jeweler.
Outhouse earings made by Lab Rat's sister. No ear lobe should be without them.
There are few things less pleasant than an ice cold toilet seat, that is unless the toilet is an ice sculpture and punch bowl. This ice sculpture was made by Steve Cox for Flush Fest 2006, a children's event featuring the talents of the
Sound Safari Theater
Hey! Who spiked the punch?!
This is the Poop Out Bowl Point Pen. The pen rests in a plastic base made to look like a plunger. A button in the back of the toilet causes a diver to pop out from under the lid. There's another version that reveals a creepy little orange cat-like creature. This is the perfect writing tool for those of us who like to compose great literature while taking a dump.
Can anyone say, "Memoirs of a Crapper"?
How about "The Da Vinci Load"?
Soft toilet paper is for pansies. Real men use the stuff you see to the left, an industrial-strength toilet paper inspired by the cheese grater.
This is a toilet made entirely of balloons. Just the thing you need if you want to pop while you plop.

The Truth About Poop
, text copyright © by Susan E. Goodman, illustrations copyright © by Elwood H. Smith, published by Penguin Group, 2004: "...pooping into a space toilet is complicated. Astronauts must swing bars across their legs to stay put." Who knew our back ends were capable of jet propulsion?
I picked up this untitled work of art by Letizia Volpi in Amsterdam in January 2000.
I like this picture's positive message. On second thought, if this is implying that human waste is the best we can give of ourselves, then maybe the message isn't all that positive. Accurate, maybe, but not positive.

The Olympic spirit has clearly taken over the Hofstade recreation park in Zemst, to the north of Brussels, run by the Flemish sport and recreation federation Bloso. From the entrance of the park to the Sportimonium museum in a beach house, visitors are guided by billboards with information about all Belgian Olympic medal-winners since the previous games in London, 64 years ago.
At the Olympic Passage exhibition inside the museum, a wall of fame honours these Olympic heroes. You can relive the performances of Baron Gaston Roelants – the Olympic champion in the 3,000m steeplechase of 1964 – and all other medallists through TV and radio broadcasts from the time.
The International Olympic Committee last year awarded the Sportimonium the title of "Olympic Museum", which makes it part of a network of 12 Olympic Museums worldwide. Chris Schwartz, responsible for scientific research at Sportimonium, shows me the showpiece: the Olympic flag raised at the seventh Olympiad in Antwerp, in 1920. "This was the first Olympic flag ever," she explains.
The Antwerp Games not only introduced the flag: It was also the first time doves were released during the opening ceremony and the first time the Olympic oath was pledged. This honour fell to Victor Boin, from Brussels, whose private collection is set up in an exposition at the Victor Boin Cabinet.
The multi-faceted man won medals in the disciplines of water polo and fencing and was also a sports journalist, war pilot and cultural protector. From 1955 to 1965, he was president of the Belgian Olympic Committee and he remained president of the Belgian Sports Federation for the Disabled until his death in 1974.
Boin was the figurehead of Belgian sports at the time, but archer Hubert Van Innis became the most successful Olympic athlete. The local hero from Zemst won four gold and two silver medals at the 1920 Olympics, bringing his total Olympic medal count to nine. The Olympic Passage includes a souvenir plaque dedicated to him.
The Antwerp Games proved auspicious for the whole Belgium team, which won the most number of medals in its history (36), with the title in the football tournament a highlight. The organisation went well, although the conditions for the athletes were primitive compared to those enjoyed by today's competitors.
Starting blocks were not yet in use, so the athletes running on the cinder track of the Beerschot Stadium had to dig their own starting marks. High jumpers and pole-vaulters did not land on comfortable crash mats but in a sandpit. Certain Olympic disciplines from that time would also raise eyebrows today, such as weightlifting with one arm and tug-of-wars.
The Olympic competition then included an artistic programme, with contests in architecture, music, literature, sculpture and painting. Belgian artists won one or more prizes in each of the five categories. Among them was Alfred Ost, who won the bronze medal in painting for his poster "The Soccer Player", displayed at the Sportimonium.
You can also admire posters advertising the events in Antwerp, plus several photos and medals of this edition. But the Olympic Passage offers an overview of the whole Olympic history, from a scale model of Zeus's sanctuary in ancient Olympia around the second century BC to an Olympic torch that carried the flame of the Athens Games in 2004. Also fun is the collection of Olympic mascots and of the running shoes worn by legendary athletes such as Gaston Roelants and the most recent Belgian medal-winner – high jumper Tia Hellebaut.
The origin of Sportimonium (a combination of the words "sport" and "patrimonium") lies in a scientific research programme set up at the University of Leuven in 1973 to study the history of folk games in Flanders, and the museum has not forgotten its roots. The permanent exhibition appropriately starts with an explanation of these "Cinderellas of the sport".
"We call them Cinderellas because their worth is mostly undervalued," says Schwartz. "Now, sports such as kaatsen and beugelen are only played in East Flanders and Limburg respectively, but they are the predecessors of modern tennis and billiards." You can not only read about the variety of these indigenous sporting traditions, but also play trabol (flat bowls), struifvogel (a precursor of darts), krulbol (curl bowls) and many more in the traditional games park. On rainy days, you can try your hand at rekker trekker or sjoelbak indoors.
Throughout the permanent exhibition, the history of sports is thematically illustrated. You follow the democratisation of sports from a pastime of the male elite in "British" clubs to recreation available to everyone, also on the domain in Hofstade. You see the evolution from the organisation of hot-air balloon rallies at the beginning of the 20th century to current adventure sports such as bodyboarding, rafting and sky surfing. Flemish sporting heroes like goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff, boxer Jean-Pierre Coopman and motocross rider Joël Smets have donated their gloves, boxing robe and motorcycle.
Children can enjoy mental exercise with knowledge quizzes or test themselves physically at the Sports Lab. In the workshop "Meten met atleten" (Competing with athletes), they can measure their strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and speed in 10 physical challenges and compare their results to those of top Flemish athletes like sprinter Hanna Mariën, former gymnast Aagje Vanwalleghem and rower Christophe Raes.
For visually impaired visitors, Sportimonium has installed a trail of tactile boxes and audio installations. After the visit, everyone can have a go at a game of Showdown, a form of tactile table tennis. Prepare to leave this museum sweating – it's quite a workout.
To revive the past artistic competition during the Olympic Games, the Sportimonium organised the International Cartoon Festival Zemst: Olympic Games London. The museum received more than 500 cartoons from more than 46 countries, of which around 100 are on display until 9 September. The winning cartoon is by the Brussels illustrator Constantin Sunnerberg. A selection of the cartoons will decorate the Belgian House in the Olympic village in London, and kids can use their creativity to participate in the cartoon festival for children.

The Fighter by Nathan Squiers
My rating: 5 of 5 Hearts
Zane's life is in the dumps…
And, lately, subjecting his body to anything that might help him forget has become all he knows.
As the realization that he has no purpose and nothing left to strive for, he's forced to admit what he's tried so hard to forget:
Gregori is dead.
With the ghost of what he was looming over what he's become and his promiscuous and self-destructive life spiraling out of control, the monster beneath his skin urges him to destroy.
With an urge to destroy pulling him ever-closer to the edge of chaos, what future exists for this once-proud fighter?
OMG What an awesome tease to what I think will be an
Amazing Series… Zane has lost sight of himself and is out of control… What a cliff hanging ending.
This series is for 18+ Readers only due to its nature and strong language.
