Alabama (formally, the State of Alabama; IPA /?æl?'bæm?/) is located in the southern region of the United States of America. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama ranks 30th in total land area and ranks second in the size of its inland waterways. The state ranks 23rd in population with almost 4.6&_160;million residents in 2006. [4]From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many Southern States, suffered economic hardship, in part because of continued dependence on agriculture. More significantly, white rural, minority domination of the legislature until the 1960s meant that urban, contemporary interests were consistently underrepresented.[5] In the years following the war, Alabama experienced significant recovery as the economy of the state transitioned from agriculture to diversified interests in heavy manufacturing, mineral extraction, education, and high technology. Today, the state is heavily invested in aerospace, education, health care, and banking, and various heavy industries including automobile manufacturing, mineral extraction, steel production and fabrication. Alabama is unofficially nicknamed the Yellowhammer State, which is also the name of the state bird. Alabama is also known as the "Heart of Dixie". The state tree is the Longleaf Pine, the state flower is the Camellia. The capital of Alabama is Montgomery, and the largest city by population is Birmingham. The largest city by total land area is Huntsville. The oldest city is Mobile. The Alabama, a Muskogean tribe, which resided just below the confluence of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers on the upper reaches of the Alabama River,[6] served as the etymological source of the names of the river and state. In the Alabama language, the word for an Alabama person is Albaamo (or variously Albaama or Albàamo in different dialects; the plural form "Alabama persons" is Albaamaha).[7] The word Alabama is believed to have originated from the Choctaw language[8] and was later adopted by the Alabama tribe as their name.[9] The spelling of the word varies significantly between sources.[9] The first usage appears in three accounts of the Hernando de Soto expedition of 1540 with Garcilasso de la Vega using Alibamo while the Knight of Elvas and Rodrigo Ranjel wrote Alibamu and Limamu, respectively.[9] As early as 1702, the tribe was known to the French as Alibamon with French maps identifying the river as Rivière des Alibamons.[6] Other spellings of the appellation have included Alibamu, Alabamo, Albama, Alebamon, Alibama, Alibamou, Alabamu, and Allibamou.[9][10][11][12]

1. Mythology of Screen printing technology
November 18, 2008
Electronic engineers use the terms screen printing, screen printing legend and silk screen to denote writing on a printed circuit board. Screen printing is far more convenient and versatile than other traditional printing methods. For one thing, the surface does not have to be printed under pressure, unlike etching or lithography, and it does not have to be planar. Screen printing inks can be used to work on a variety of surfaces - such as textiles, ceramics, metal, wood, paper, glass, and plastic. As a result, screen printing is used in many different industries, from clothing to product labe... (read more)

Crimson Tide -6 vs. Volunteers
Tennessee's miserable season took a week off last week as the Volunteers looked more like the Volunteers with a 34-3 route of Mississippi State. If the home standing Tennessee (3-4, 1-3) can see its way to upsetting second ranked Alabama and beating the Crimson Tide for the third time in a row at Neyland Stadium, it will go a long way to hitting the reset button their season and starting a late season push for a good bowl game.

Crimson Tide -12 vs. Rebels
In March, you have the team that has “Cinderella slippers” on and gets hot and beats up on the big boys.

An upset of the surging Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0) may be a tall order for the Rebels who have not pulled off too many upsets of their next door neighbors over the years... (read more)

Georgia -7 vs Alabama
There are so many angles that could be mentioned in this early-season SEC game of the year between unbeaten Alabama and Georgia … but let's stick to one for today: Each team's star freshman receiver.
That would be Alabama's Julio Jones and Georgia's A.J. Green, who were ranked the nation's top two wide-receiver prospects by Rivals.com and Scout.com in their senior years of high school.
Both wear the No. 8. Both are 6-foot-4. Jones has been compared to Randy Moss, Green to Terrell Owens.
