After a three-and-a-half-hour delay, the state of Georgia executed Troy Davis Wednesday night, pronouncing him dead at 11:08 p.m. Davis had survived the day of his execution three times before when courts issued stays, but the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene this time, announcing its denial of a stay without explanation at about 10:20 p.m. Strapped to the gurney, Davis lifted his head and looked at Mark and William MacPhail, the son and brother of the police officer Davis was convicted of killing in 1989. “I am sorry for your loss,” Davis said. “I did not personally kill your son, father, and brother. I am innocent.”  Fourteen minutes later he was dead.

in face book once a post gets to old it gets deleted. In the coming weeks, Facebook is going to start replacing peoples' profile pages with a new blog-like template, where photos and check-ins and status updates are strung along the backbone of chronology  days, months and, here's the big leap, years.
