ABQ is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television station in Brisbane, Queensland. It began broadcasting on 2 November 1959 and was based for many years at studios in the inner-western suburb of Toowong, with a transmitter at Mount Coot-tha. In late 2006, however, the Toowong studios were abandoned after several female staff members developed breast cancer. An independent report found that the rate of breast cancer incidents at the site were "...up to 11 times higher than what would normally be expected."

Staff currently work from several sites around Brisbane, with ABC Radio now based in nearby Lissner Street, Toowong, ABC News staff working from Network Ten's Mount Coot-tha studios, ABC Innovation and Online staff working at QUT Kelvin Grove, and other staff based in locations including Coronation Drive and West End. Construction of ABC's new four-storey state-of-the-art Brisbane headquarters at South Bank has started with completion due in late 2011. The station is received throughout the state through a number of relay transmitters, and satellite transmission on the Optus Aurora free-to-view platform.

This video (without the subtitles) was presented by the prosecution in State of New Mexico v. Phillip Mocek in the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court on January 20, 2011. After about an hour of deliberation, a jury found him not guilty of four misdemeanors with which he was charged. More information about the case, including addresses for Mocek's legal defense fund (he's paying for this out-of-pocket), can be found in an FAQ maintained by The Identity Project at papersplease.org Audio of most of the trial is available for download or streaming on the Internet Archive. There is an index at papersplease.org Visible and audible in the video are Mocek, Albuquerque Airport Police Department officers Robert F. "Bobby" Dilley (116), Landrow "Wiggy" Wiggins (137), and Julio A. De La Peña (135), and TSA staff LTSO Jonathon Breedon, TSM Gerald Romero, STSO Anthony M. Schreiner, Greg Martinez, and BDO Laura Moots.

Breaking Bad Season 2 Finale Episode 13: ABQ In an earlier post about Breaking Bad, i'd mentioned that the show doesn't sugar coat the world of meth and it's fallout. Boy was that assessment ever proven accurate in the season 2 finale, ep 13:ABQ. i'm pretty much going to thumbnail my take on this ep because it has an encore airing following the date of this post and i don't want to do spoilers. i think it's a safe bet that anyone who is a fan of the late John Belushi will have the same reflexive response i did while watching this ep---yelling at tv---"speedballs kill". OK technically a speedball is a combination of cocaine and heroin, not meth and heroin, but that definition would be splitting hairs, since the rush of combining two powerful antithetical drugs is the objective. And of course the danger increases with the substitution of meth because it has a bolder kick than cocaine. Also if one has built up a tolerance for the drug(s) the likelihood of overdosing increases. Chemical reaction will not be denied. Kudos to Breaking Bad for letting the audience know "that's the double-truth ruth"* Hi i'msookie, and at my site In A Lather i give my takes on my fav shows that i hope are favs of yours too. You'll also find related links to the shows and occasionally i will also have video of the shows themselves and interviews. Hope you'll visit often and please feel free to comment.
