Mary Jane Clark

Mary Jane Clark is a must-read, but all NFL bettors know they must consult the Tailgate Party with preseason primer news, notes, player rotations and more. So get out and buy that BestBuy 9.99 TV, the In52a650 Samsung and destroy the sportsbook. Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Yankees close out their series with Toronto, the Cards take on the Reds, and Pedro Martinez debuts for the Phillies.
Author Mary Jane Clark dropped by "Good Morning America" to give us a sneak peek at her new book "Dying for Mercy." At Pentimento, a renovated estate in wealthy Tuxedo Park, N.Y., the host of a gala is found dead in an apparent suicide. Attending the event is Eliza Blake, co-host of the morning TV show KEY to America, who's determined to get to the bottom of the crime.
She and her colleagues, producer Annabelle Murphy, cameraman B.J. D'Elia and psychiatrist Margo Gonzalez realize that Pentimento holds the key. The mansion is full of clues hidden in its fireplaces, fountains and frescoes that all lead to the killer's victims. As Eliza keeps digging, it seems that no resident in the tony town is safe. Read an excerpt of "Dying for Mercy" below, and head to the "GMA" Library for more good reads.

50 dollar computer

The 50 dollar computer has become a reality thanks to the new AT&T Netbook and the newest offer for Atlanta and Philadelphia residents. The 50 dollar computer has a catch, but getting an AT&T netbook notebook computer may make the catch worth it. Atlanta and Philadelphia users will be offered a very stripped down notebook computer for only $50 if they sign up for a two year high speed internet contract.
The model is nothing new, mobile phone companies have been doing it for years by offering a free or nearly free phone for a signed contract for mobile phone service. You can still get the $50 computer but it’ll cost more than $50 - Yes, I know it sounds weird but other companies offer the Netbook with different deals attached to it, this is just the offer from AT&T. Look for similar deals from Verizon and other wireless providers.
50 Dollar Computer - Some years ago, the notion of buying a computer for only $50 seem like an idea extracted from science fiction on a distant future, but thanks to the advances of technology, the first $50 computers are being offered to the public. The lucky people who can buy a 50 dollar computer can find them on Philadelphia and Atlanta. These inexpensive laptops are offered by AT&T and you can get them if you sign up for two years of Internet connection.

Life magazine

Life magazine photographer Henry Groskinsky was on assignment in Selma when he heard the bulletin on the radio: The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis. Life magazine photographer Henry Groskinsky was on assignment in Selma when he heard the bulletin on the radio: The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis.
On that April 4, 1968, evening, Groskinsky ended up in King’s hotel room, where the civil rights leader’s associates including Andrew Young and the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy Sr. were solemnly huddled. Surprisingly, there were few members of the press around the Lorraine Motel. “I felt like I was intruding,” he said. “It was like a wake.”
He captured a series of numbing images that, until Thursday —- when they were posted at Life magazine’s Web site, www.life.com —- had never been seen by the public. They are stark and powerful. One shows a motel worker sweeping King’s blood from the balcony. “Once they got the famous photo” of King’s associates pointing in the direction of the assassin, “that was it,” Groskinsky said, referring to the widely circulated Associated Press photo.
