Steven Abujen, an California prison inmate with the Prison Industry Authority, cleans one of the newly installed headstones that is replacing one of the offensive markers bearing the n-word at the Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery, near Folsom, Calif., Tuesday, Oct. 18. In 1954, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers had the remains of 36 bodies buried at the Gold Rush-era Negro Hill Cemetery moved to construct Folsom Lake. When the bodies were moved, the graves were marked by stones with a derogatory term for African-American. Now, some 60 years later the offensive markers are being replaced with newly made granite stones.

Champions League 2011-12: Matchday three
A round-up of the best images from all the matches including Manchester City v Villarreal and Otelul Galati v Manchester United
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2288.jpg
Premier League leaders Manchester City are still searching for their first Champions League victory, and after just four minutes is looks like they might have to wait a bit longer as they go a goal behind. What's worse is that it is down to sloppy play by City. Firstly David Silva makes a loose pass in midfield and then Nigel De Jong puts in an inadequate tackle. Giuseppe Rossi then shoots from the edge of the box and Joe Hart can only parry the ball back out to the edge of the six yard box where Cani reacts first to slot the ball into the net. Not the sort of start Roberto Mancini would be wanting
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2289.jpg
Mancini elects to play Adam Johnson from the start, a rarity these days, but five minutes before half-time he seems to have changed his mind and brings off Johnson for Gareth Barry. Unsurprisingly Johnson doesn't look too happy with the decision
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2290.jpg
Three minutes later the home side are on level terms courtesy of an own goal by Villarreal's Carlos Marchena. He stuck out a leg to prevent a vicious low cross from reaching Edin Dzeko, which he did, but unfortunately he diverted it into his own net
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2291.jpg
Just as the City staff were no doubt rehearsing their "glad to have a point...no easy matches at this level..." type of excuses, City put together one final attack deep in injury time. James Milner plays a lovely disguised pass to Pablo Zabaleta out on the right who then fires a low ball into the middle. Silva is there at the near post, and he helps the ball on with a tricksy flick with his backheel...
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2292.jpg
… where at the far post Sergio Aguero is waiting to stab the ball home and get Mancini out of jail. You can tell how much the result means to the City boss by the amount of fist-pumping he does on the touchline. So City get their first win in the tournament despite not playing well, but they won't care as it means their dreams of qualifying are still on

City's neighbours are also in Champions League action and looking for their first win in this campaign. Though United are dominating the first half they're having trouble breaking down Otelul Galati. Here Antonio Valencia comes off second best when he battles with Adrian Salageanu

The advertising hoardings have some advice for Manchester United's Fabio
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2299.jpg
Sergfiu Costin should take that hoarding's advice as just after the hour mark, for some inexplicable reason he sticks out his arm and bats the ball as it's played across the area. The referee points to the spot. Wayne Rooney sends Galati keeper Branko Grahovac the wrong way and it's 1-0 to United
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2300.jpg
In injury time Rooney gets a chance for a repeat performance when he goes down like a sack of spuds after a tap from Liviu Antal. Rooney hits the ball to the same side and this time Grahovac guesses correctly but he's beaten by the pace and accuracy of Rooney's kick. Like their neighbours, United have got the three points despite not playing particularly well, but as Sir Alex Ferguson's side had yet to win before this match, all he'll care about are those three points
