Brandon Fischer may not be the king of the world, but considering his dancing experience, he was happy to settle last year for king of Corona del Mar High School's male faculty.
The math teacher was crowned co-champion of the school's first Dancing with the Teachers contest, in which faculty members paired with students to hoof it onstage. Fischer's group got the assignment of lyrical dance, and someone — he's not quite sure whom — decided on the "Titanic" anthem "My Heart Will Go On" for the music.
That put Fischer, whose prior resume amounted to dancing at weddings, in a position that many high school teachers would envy: looking like Leonardo DiCaprio in front of the student body.
"It was pretty awesome," said Fischer, who will return to defend his title in the second annual Dancing with the Teachers event Tuesday. "The girls did a great job. We had a little 'Titanic' I'm-the-king-of-the-world ending where they held my arms and I leaned forward."
What will Fischer have to do to retain his title this year? Well, he'll have to nail his routine, which he declined to describe beyond calling it "more hip-hop than lyrical." But more importantly, he'll have to sway the opinions of a panel of faculty judges as well as audience members, who can buy votes for their favorite acts for $1 each.
In the end, the true winner will be Corona del Mar High's Orchesis Dance Company, which will reap most of the proceeds. The remainder will go to community outreach regarding the school's arts programs.
Cami Marseilles, the program's director, got the idea from a similar event at Newport Harbor High School, and the faculty at her campus — who, by and large, lag far behind the students in dancing experience — proved game.
"It's really nice to see community members of all ages coming out," Marseilles said. "We had 2,000 people come last year, and it just really united the school before Christmas, and I think that's awesome."
Last year, the event selected men's and women's champions, with history teacher Laura Mayberry winning the women's category. This time, Marseilles said, there will be a single champion, plus a pair of smaller awards.
Regardless of how many male teachers join in, the stage will be decidedly female-dominated: All the students in Orchesis, which requires a decade of training and an audition, are girls, although Marseilles said the group is open to any boys who meet the requirements.
With the students' extensive background, the teachers wind up learning a few things from their younger counterparts, according to Mayberry.
"Some of us, we're not so bad," she said. "The life of a dancer isn't for us, but we make it work."

ARLINGTON — While several more weeks of landscaping still lie ahead, the concrete and lane striping on the new roundabout at the intersection of state routes 9 and 531 were all but completed by Friday, Nov. 9.
The busy SR 9/531 intersection was chosen to be converted from traffic signal-directed into a roundabout in part because of the 28 collisions resulting in 29 injuries at that intersection within a five-year span.
The Washington State Department of Transportation's contractor, Interwest Construction, began prepping the work area starting on April 30 and commenced work in earnest during the week of May 7, when they began closing lanes at night. A series of lane closures on state Route 9 followed throughout the summer. WSDOT awarded the $5 million contract to Interwest Construction last year, after WSDOT engineers decided to convert the SR 9/531 intersection into a roundabout back in 2009.
"This roundabout is going to be a change for drivers," WSDOT Engineering Manager Jay Drye said. "It'll be a great safety improvement for sure. It might take a little getting used to, but once people get the hang of it, I think it will really improve traffic flow by cutting down on delays and crashes."
WSDOT spokesman Dustin Terpening echoed Drye's message by citing national studies showing roundabouts reduce injuries by 75 percent, fatalities by 90 percent and overall collisions by 37 percent at intersections where they replace signals.
"There's a lot of other benefits to roundabouts as well," Terpening said. "They cut down on traffic congestion and are better for the environment for largely the same reasons, since they eliminate the stop-and-go of traffic lights. Whether you're idling at a red light or punching the gas pedal after the light goes green, you're sending out more exhaust then you would be if you were able to just keep going through."
Rather than stopping and going, roundabouts slow down all incoming cars to turn right at a relatively steady rate of speed, which Terpening deemed safer as well as more convenient.
"It's much smoother," Terpening said. "With a red light at night, you have to stop even if there's no one else there, but with a roundabout, you just turn on through. It also eliminates the risk of high-speed rear-end and T-bone collisions, which produce the greatest numbers of injuries and fatalities."
According to Terpening, Interwest Construction and its 18 subcontractors are projected to hold the line on the project's $5 million budget, and the roundabout itself is expected to serve an estimated 16,000 drivers per day. Given the number of semi-trucks and horse trailers that use state routes 9 and 531, WSDOT built the roundabout to accommodate larger vehicles.
Washington state ranks second in the nation for the most roundabouts. There are approximately 240 roundabouts across the state and roughly 70 of those are on state highways. Only Colorado has more roundabouts.

Where Can We Find the Last Remaining Twinkies in Missoula?
We just got off the phone with Hostess Brands Inc. on Reserve Street and spoke with an unnamed employee who is saddened to report that there is an official shortage of Twinkies in the Missoula area.
"No shipments in the past two weeks, not a single truck delivery in the longest time. That's it." said an anonymous worker who worked at the Sweetheart Bakery. "We are officially done."
This week Hostess bakers went on strike to protest a new contract which had been imposed in bankruptcy court. Management said they would liquidate the company if the bakers didn't return to work. On Friday morning, they made good on that threat.
The second location on Broadway is also confirming that this is the last day that their store will remain open. And when it comes to locating the final box of Twinkies in the region, they were of little help. "We are really not supposed to make any further comments."
Over to you: Have you had any luck finding our favorite vanilla filling friend? Did you manage to get your hands on some Twinkies before they ran out? Which Hostess cake will you miss the most?

Lady Gaga to Appear on September Cover of Vogue
Lady Gaga has scored her second Vogue cover. Her follow up appearance will be on the September 2012 issue, according to New York. The September issue is the biggest on the fashion world's editorial calendar, so this is a major, major coup for the Mother Monster.
The cover is supposedly timed up with the launch of her debut fragrance and the dawn of the cold weather fashion season.
Gaga graced the cover of the March 2011 issue of Vogue, shot by famed photog Mario Testino. It was one of the mag's most successful issues of that year and flew off the stands.
The September cover photos have reportedly been shot already, with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott going behind the camera to capture Gaga in all her fashion-forward essence.
There is only one thing we can pretty much bet the farm on, and that's the fact that Gaga will certainly do something jaw-dropping and totally different from her previous cover, on which she wore a strapless, deconstructed frock, a pale pink severely cut bob a la Vogue editress Anna Wintour and apparition-white skin.
Will she be cloaked head-t0-toe in latex? In priceless couture? Vintage? Something designed by her little sister Natali, an aspiring fashion designer? Oh, the possibilities are endless. Remember, her Italian Vogue cover was pretty out there.
It almost upstages the curiosity about what her debut scent will smell like!

What are some of the changes going on in the banking industry right now?
Like many other industries, large incumbent banks are being affected by digital disruption—and they know they need to act fast to manage it. But each bank is unique; it needs to handle digital in a way that suits its own organization, customers and workforce.
What does this digital disruption look like?
New entrants or startups are changing customer expectations and impacting specialized revenue streams. And large digital leaders are extending their banking services into non-banking digital ecosystems where they are already active or dominant. Banking leaders who want to succeed in a digital economy need to make fundamental changes to how they operate. Instead of a traditional "bell curve" response to a typical product or service life cycle, they need to introduce services quickly, testing and learning from the market's response to eliminate the losers early and accelerate the winners. This is the route to transformation for today's banks.
Why do the banks need to transform?
Every business knows it cannot stand still, especially in this digital era where digital change is reshaping industry boundaries. Our research shows that mature or emerging market banks can potentially drive up return on equity by more than 5 percent, so there is a real cost benefit to transforming the business of banking. To get these kinds of returns and fast track success, I believe banks need to execute their digital journey at the right speed, with the right governance model and mind-set.
What do you mean by "executing at the right speed"?
Banks must operate at two speeds so that they can react quickly to what customers want and address the fast changes needed in the core business of banking. Take the first speed—banks looking for disruptive growth options outside of their core business. They need to tackle the fact that 32 percent of bank revenues could be at risk from the business models of new entrants, and they should become digital attackers themselves (like targeting specific market segments such as young adults). They could also respond by launching a digital wallet for in-app commerce or use big data to achieve data monetization. It's about moving at the same pace as entrepreneurs, having a "test and learn" mentality and using different vehicles like venture funds to develop the necessary capabilities.
The second speed is around transforming their core business with three fundamental digital strategies—customer, enterprise and operational strategies. These strategies can help banks provide an omnichannel experience, with new products or services that better suit customer needs and expectations. Across the enterprise they'll need a digital culture using collaboration tools to support more intelligent working. Finally, IT lies at the heart of banking, so having an open architecture and flexible technology platform is essential, not just to be more efficient, but to open up the possibility for new business models. Of course, making such strategies happen is not easy as banks are very complex institutions, but with good governance we know banks can realize returns.
What sort of governance do you believe is needed to make this transformation happen?
Unfortunately, the reality is that all too often digital initiatives don't scale. I believe there are three critical roles that can balance new growth with transformation of the core banking business.
First, the technology entrepreneur—this is someone who acts as the architect of the bank's future capabilities, from introducing new concepts, such as the intelligent enterprise or platform-based thinking, to making the enterprise more open, scalable and flexible.
Second, the banking entrepreneur—typically a CEO of a bank who's going to reorient the business. This is a person who understands the relationship between value and risk, and is familiar with the bank's business model of capital, revenue flows, costs, the regulatory boundaries, and how bank-centric business models operate.
Third, the role for the digital entrepreneur—a person who's going to delight your customer. This role puts customers at the center of the bank's thinking; someone who develops a portfolio of business options while digitizing revenue and processes.
With these three roles all working together in a really collaborative way banks can achieve long-term transformation and scale up innovation across the business.
So, three roles, two speeds—what's the one thing missing from this picture of a banking future?
Being digital inside and outside the organization is probably the single most important thing that banks can do to execute their strategies. By that I mean being digital internally by, for instance, always operating in real time, or using analytics and rewiring governance. Being digital on the outside is all around improving customer engagement and the customer experience. One last important feature of being digital is attracting and retaining digital talent. In Accenture research, 61 percent of digital transformers see shortages of digital skills as a top challenge in digital transformation and are concerned about how they can attract and retain top digital talent. As we hear in the press, digital means new roles are emerging, including robots augmenting the workforce. It will all mean changes in leadership thinking.
So do you believe digital lies at the heart of the future of banking?
I believe banking is being reinvented. But if banks want to keep pace with new, everyday banking that simplifies customers' lives and offers groundbreaking services, current execution models must change. Two speeds, three roles and a being digital mind-set can help banks satisfy customers and stakeholders—and reinvent banking as we know it.
To learn more about key factors to a successful digital strategy in banking, read our recent report, "Digital strategy execution drives a new era of banking."

There's a famous interview question variously credited to Microsoft, Google and Yahoo:
Suppose you have given N companies, and we want to eventually merge them into one big company. How many ways are there to merge them?
Assuming you can merge as many companies as you like in a single step, I thought this boils down to "find the number of partitions of a set with N elements", in which case the answer is the Bell number $B_{n}$. This can be computed with this handy recursion cribbed shamelessly from Wikipedia:
$B_{n+1}=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{{n \choose k}B_k}$
$1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 52, 203...$
And you have to substract one since you're already starting from one of the possible sets: $B_{2}=2$, but there's only one way to combine A and B into AB.
However, there are a lot of sources on the net which claim that the correct solution is the Catalan number:
$C_n = \frac{1}{n+1}{2n\choose n} = \frac{(2n)!}{(n+1)!\,n!} = \prod\limits_{k=2}^{n}\frac{n+k}{k} \qquad\mbox{ for }n\ge 0$
$1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132...$
Which is correct, and why? Or are they both correct depending on the assumptions you make about the somewhat vague problem statement?

The majority of people who pay into Social Security work for someone else. Their employer deducts Social Security taxes from their paycheck, matches that contribution, and sends wage reports and taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security. But self-employed people must fill out the forms and pay the taxes directly to the government. This factsheet explains that process.
You are self-employed if you operate a trade, business, or profession, either by yourself or as a partner. You report your earnings for Social Security when you file your federal income tax return. If your net earnings are $400 or more in a year, you must report your earnings on schedule SE.
Paying Social Security And Medicare Taxes
The Social Security tax rate for 1995 is 15.3 percent (the same as 1994) on self-employment income up to $61,200. If your net earnings exceed $61,200, you continue to pay the Medicare portion of the Social Security tax, which is 2.9 percent, on the rest of your earnings. There are two income tax deductions that reduce your tax liability. The deductions are intended to make sure self-employed people are treated in much the same way as employers and employees for Social Security and income tax purposes.
First, your net earnings from self-employment are reduced by an amount equal to half of your total self-employment tax. This is similar to the way employees are treated under the tax laws in that the employer's share of the Social Security tax is not considered income to the employee.
Second, you can deduct half of your self-employment tax as a business expense. This is similar to the deduction allowed to employers on the Social Security taxes they pay for their employees.
If you have wages as well as self-employment earnings, the tax on your wages is paid first. But this rule is important only if your total earnings are more than $61,200. For example, if you have $20,000 in wages and $30,000 in self-employment income in 1995, you pay the appropriate Social Security taxes on both your wages and business earnings. However, if your 1995 wages are $70,000 and you have $10,000 in net earnings from a business, you do not pay dual Social Security taxes on earnings above $61,200.
Your employer will withhold 7.65 percent in Social Security taxes up to $61,200 and 1.45 percent (the Medicare portion of an employee's tax rate) on earnings between $61,200 and $70,000. And you must pay the 2.9 percent Medicare self-employment tax (not the full Social Security tax) on your $10,000 in self-employment earnings.
Earnings Credits
You need earnings credits to qualify for Social Security benefits. The number of credits you will need depends on your date of birth, but no one needs more than 40. You can earn up to four credits per year.
If your net earnings are $2,520 or more, you earn four credits one for each $630. (If your net earnings are less than $630, you still may earn one or more credits by using the optional method described on the back of this factsheet.) All of your earnings covered by Social Security are used in figuring your Social Security benefit. So, it's important that you report all of your earnings up to the maximum as required by law.
Figuring Your Net Earnings
Net earnings for Social Security are your gross earnings from your trade or business, minus all of your allowable business - deductions and depreciation.
Some income does not count for Social Security. Do not include the following in figuring your net earnings:
Dividends from shares of stock and interest on bonds, unless you receive them as a dealer in stocks and securities.
Interest from loans, unless your business is lending money.
Rentals from real estate, unless you are a real estate dealer or regularly provide services mostly for the convenience of the occupant.
Income received from a limited partnership.
Optional Method
If your actual net earnings are less than $400, your earnings can still count for Social Security under an optional method of reporting. The optional method can be used if your gross earnings are $600 or more or when your profit is less than $1,600. You can use the optional method no more than five times. Your actual net must have been $400 or more in at least two of the last three years, and your net earnings must be less than two-thirds of your gross income.
Here's how it works:
If your gross income from self-employment is between $600 and $2,400, you may report two-thirds of your gross or your actual net earnings if $400 or more.
If your gross income is $2,400 or more and the actual net earnings are $1,600 or less, you report either $1,600 or your - actual net.
Special Note For Farmers: If you are a farmer, you can use the optional method every year. You do not need to have had actual net earnings of at least $400 in any preceding year.
How To Report Earnings
You must complete the following federal tax forms by April 15 following any year in which you have net earnings of $400 or more:
Form 1040 (U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) Schedule SE (Self-Employment Tax)
These forms can be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service and most banks and post offices. Send the tax return and schedules along with your self-employment tax to the Internal Revenue Service. Even if you do not owe any income tax, you must complete Form 1040 and Schedule SE to pay self-employment Social Security tax. This is true even if you already get Social Security benefits. Church Workers If you are considered self-employed because of your work for a church or church-controlled organization, you must report earnings of $100 or more. For more information, ask Social Security for the factsheet If You Work For A Nonprofit - Organization (Publication No. 05-10027). Family Business Arrangements Family members may operate a business together. A husband and a wife may be partners or joint venturers. If you operate a business together as partners, you should each report your share of the business profits as net earnings on separate schedules, even if you file a joint income tax return. The amount each of you should report depends upon your agreement.

House elevations are architectural drawings that show how a home will look from specific angles. Elevations are a key part of the way architects communicate their designs with clients and the contractors who will build the home. Like all architectural drawings, house elevations are drawn to scale, meaning that the length and thickness of each line directly corresponds with measurements of the finished home. 1/2 inch to 1 foot scale is common.
Side Elevations. Architects distinguish side elevations by right and left side, determined as if you were facing the front of the house. Directional notations, such as "Right side elevation (north)" help minimize confusion when interpreting the drawings. Side elevations are useful for showing windows and other home features, and they also show the homes depth. The side view of the front and back porches helps homeowners and contractors visualize porch size in relation to the home. Roof pitch is also indicated in side elevations.
Home design ideas will help you to get idea about various type of elevation design like modern elevation design, contemporary elevation design, european elevation design, ultra modern elevation design, traditional elevation design , villa elevation design , and bungalow elevation design.
Front Elevation. The front elevation is a straight-on view of the house as if you were looking at it from a spot on the front yard. Also called an "entry elevation," the front elevation shows home features such as entry doors, windows, the front porch and any items that protrude from the home, such as side porches or chimneys. However, side walls are not visible at all unless they will be built at an angle that is visible from the front view.

Michael Barros faces murder charges in Superior Court in January slaying on Hancock Street
Michael Barros stared ahead as the charges were read against him.
Murder. Unlawful possession of a firearm. Unlawful possession of ammunition.
Barros, 24, of Brockton, hands cuffed before him, answered each charge simply: "Not guilty."
Barros was arraigned Tuesday in Brockton Superior Court on the charges, all stemming from the Jan. 17 shooting death of Moises Vicente, 23, on Hancock Street. Judge Jeffrey Locke ordered him held without bail.
This is the second time he has been arraigned in the case. Barros had been arraigned in Brockton District Court after his arrest earlier this year, and now the case has been moved to the higher court for prosecution.
Barros is accused of opening fire on the victim while riding in a silver minivan on Hancock Street.
The driver of the minivan – Manuel Rodrigues – was later shot to death in a Nilsson Street driveway one day before he was set to testify at a court hearing against Barros. No one has been charged in that slaying.
Barros was locked up at the time the witness was shot to death.
Robert Galibois, Barros' attorney, said his client is not linked to that killing.
"There is nothing out there suggesting he is tied to that case," Galibois said.

Keyword? Search mePosted: June 16, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Haigneys, newspapers 4 Comments
This is another one of those posts in which I reveal my basic ignorance for the good of humanity.
You're welcome, humanity.
See, Ancestry.com's newspaper database was one of those things that I got all excited about when I first saw it, especially since it included the Troy, NY Times-Record from the '40s through the '70s, a very relevant period for me. I remember being all sweaty-palmed when I pulled up the search window:
In the "Name" area, I put in "Haigney" under Last Name, and came up with nothing. I made sure I wasn't checking exact spellings or anything, since this surname is notorious for creative spellings. I played with those creative spellings.
Still nothing.
At that point a child was having a crisis (probably the water pitcher in the fridge was empty) and I had to log out. I never made a note to schedule another playdate with the database, and somehow it got filed in my mind (an occasionally unreliable source) as Something That Didn't Have Anything I Needed.
So yesterday morning, still blinking awake and sipping my first cup of coffee, I happened to notice an external link pointing to that very same Times-Record database at Ancestry. Probably if I was really awake, I would have remembered it was useless to me and not clicked through. Fortunately, I wasn't, and I did. Then for some reason I decided to type in "Walker," the married name of one of my Haigney relatives. A zillion hits popped up, naturally. So it occurred to me to consider this:
And to narrow things down a bit (probably to zero, I snickered to myself), I typed "Haigney" into the keyword box, leaving "Walker" as the main surname search.
People, the heavens opened. I believe we are at 28 clippings and counting, chronicling the comings and goings of Haigneys, Walkers and Roaches/Roches/Roachs in the Capital District in the '40s, '50s and '60s. (My dad's in there a couple of times, including a summertime visit from Chicago, where he was attending school.) Birthday parties. Obituaries. And not one, but two personality profiles of my great-great-aunt Maggie, who must have been a really fun interview. I have a lot of reading and crosschecking to do.
What I Learned From This Experience:
1. Avoid getting hung up on the same surname or group of surnames. Think of collateral kin, neighbors' names, associations your kin belonged to, employers, heck, even the name of a shop or business your kin always talked about. See what happens.
2. Try combining a surname search with another surname in the keyword box.
3. Tell the kid to fill the water pitcher themselves, already.
P.S. Ancestry has a lot of other newspapers for those of you who are not obsessed with Troy, N.Y. From the "Search" area on the main toolbar, select "card catalog" and search there with your locality's name and keyword "newspaper" — see if they've got a newspaper collection you can use!
4 Comments on "Keyword? Search me"
Troy, NY? My mother was born there, I will be checking out that collection soon, to see if years I can use are there. Congratulations on your find.
On behalf of Humanity, I say, "Thank you." LOL – great opening there, Liz. I will try the New York City newspapers again, using your suggestions. So far, nothing has come up, which is hard to believe. My people certainly weren't celebrities, but sheesh, a small death notice would be nice!

Help with WO 36x24
05/21/08 at 09:08:26
I followed the design precicely, and I have access to a table saw and posess woodworking skills, so everything seemed to fit nicely
. But when I came to my baffle, there was no room on the smaller outside baffle to mount my Rockford Fosgate P1410 10" subs
, so I mounted them reverse, as the plans state you can do (cone facing into sealed chamber). I stuffed the sealed side with poly fill after making sure all would seal tightly, and wired my subs carefully making sure I had +/- matched, then squezzed this baby into my trunk (it barely fit.) Anyway, to my dissmay, the bass was greatly lacking as compared to my old krappy well used and much smaller box
. The WO produced a much lower bass, but the subs would bottom out before an acceptably car rattling volume was acchieved. The specs on the subs are as follows:
10" 4 ohm (wired in parelell) 150w rms, 300w peak. 1.5" 6-Layer Voice Coil, 40 oz motor, 84db SPL. mount depth 5.125"
Reccomended Sealed enclosure Range: 0.50 cu. ft. - 0.85 cu. ft.
Reccomended Vented Enclosure 1.40 cu. ft. Vented Tuning Frequency 37 Hz
K so I've allready tried all combinations possable of reversing phazing etc, so I think i'm left with take fill out or find a way to reverse the way the subs mount. The plan specificly says you cant move the position of the baffle board, so i can't make a bigger one to accomidate this sub. The sub is not intended to be mounted cone side against the baffle, should I find a way to do so? Is this sub just incompatible with this design? Finnaly, what else could I be not thinking of? :-? I worked very hard to get this right, but I'm just not getting the results people post about, please help.
Thanx, Jake

OK, so I called Zygi about this, and he indicated it realy sounded like subs outa phaze, so I re checked my wiring, and low and behold, one was +/+ -/- and the other was +/- +/-
After rectifieng the problem, whoa unbeleiveable BASS,
I mean HUGE improvement over my old box.
. So anyway, thank you very much for the help Zygi.
My enclosure is 36 x 24 following design exactly, painted all flat black with KAPPA girls painted in white on the throught. It is fitted with 2 Rockford Fosgate P1 10" Subs, and just barely fit in my trunk. On top I have mounted a Rockford Fosgate P325.1 Monoblock amp, and a 500MFD Capacitor.
It looks kick ass, and sounds unbelevable compared to the same setup mounted in an admitedly well loved, but in need of recycling standard band pass box
. The Bass responce across ranges from around 120hz down to 40hz or so are soo greatly improved I can hardly beleve it.
My other box was good from about 80 hz down to about 50, in ranges above and below that, it pretty much suked. Kudos to Steve for the awsome and might I add free design.
Pictures to follow in the next couple days or so

I have run across drivers that were miss marked + & - from the factory a hand full of times. About the second time I ran into it, I started pre-checking the polarity with a 1.5 volt battery. You can never fully trust anything in audio. Well, except of course me.

I think you need new tee-shirts! Maybe for Decfest 2008?
"You can never fully trust anything in audio"
"Well, except of course me"
or maybe you could make it "Well, except of course Decware", but I think I like "Well, except of course me" better.

Tipsy sent me a picture of a diy project she just completed. Which led me to think about the many unfinished projects I have lying around. I haven't found a chair for Masons desk. The plant stand in the yard is still not sanded and painted. The new winter coverlets for mason's bed are not complete. And so on and so on.
So, I started feeling kinda blah. But! I remembered my plan to stay positive and keep a grateful heart. Which led me to think about a project that I had completed. My garden! Yes! My lovely garden. I reminisced on how beautiful it was to see my plants grow big and healthy. I was so happy with the first cucumber I could have danced. And I've enjoyed peppers, zucchini and lots of cherry tomatoes. That garden has been a wish blessing for me.
Someone once asked me, how I would live my life if I knew I could not fail. My reply was, "I'd be a writer, plant a garden and sit in my yard, drink lemonade and swing." At that moment those things were just wishes for me.......at that time I rarely thought my wishes would ever come to fruition.. But I do now. And I'm grateful for my wish blessing coming through. It reminds me of the possibilities......the ones I've wished for in prayers, through writing or in my mind. I will have them too, if they are good for me and when God decides I'm ready to handle them.
What do you wish for? What would you do if you couldn't fail?

The grand opening of this new theatre was in November 1920 with a Grand Ball in which over 200 couples were present from all parts of the county to enjoy this gala event. The opening movie picture was "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm". The piano was played by Irene Ross Murray during the entire movie as the films were silent films in those days.
Bill and his wife, Florence, sold and collected the tickets. Any child who didn't have the price of a theatre ticket was always admitted by Bill.
A balcony ran across the north side and one-fourth of the way on each of the west and east sides. The entrance to the Krumholz living quarters was upstairs off the balcony.
There were movable seats. Five seats were fastened to a strip of two boards. These lined the sides of the hall or were pushed under the stages for more floor room. The huge canvas curtain on the stage was painted by Mr. Wall from Greenbush. It was a Venetian scene with advertisements surrounding it. It was rolled up by hand. "Don't Smoke, Remember the Chicago Fire" and "Don't Spit, Remember the the Johnstown Flood" were shown each show night before the shorts, previews, or feature.
There were several exits; two on the south side behind the stage, two on the west side and the north entrance. Lines for ticket purchases often stretched to Taft's Cafe.
The popular movies with many showings were "Ben Hur", "The Covered Wagon", "Birth of a Nation", and "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Colleen Moore, and Rudolph Valentino were favorite actresses and actors. Matinees were held on Saturday afternoons. Serials were of much interest also.
Bill had his barber shop of two chairs in the building, with Buster Johnson using the second chair. Casey Jones* had his first shop in the rear of the barber shop where he worked on radios, etc. He also ran the movie projector whenever Axel Carlson wasn't there to operate it. Bill often took children off the streets and gave them free haircuts.
The Krumholz living quarters were located over the North end of the business and had a west side stairway entrance. Dr. Frost had his office upstairs also at one time.
The large main floor was used by the school for basketball games, tournaments, and other school activities. Firemen's balls, dances, basket socials**, style shows, minstrels, New Year's Eve parties, and wrestling matches were also held in this spacious theatre building.
The closing of banks in 1926 made Bill relinquish his interest in the theatre business and he purchased the Hotel Hallock in 1927.
Duffy and Geneva Larson and their two daughters Helen and Irene came from Cavalier, North Dakota to Hallock in 1927 to operate the Grand Theatre. It was an unsuccessful venture, partially due to the times, and when the vote came up for Sunday movies and was defeated, so were they. They closed the theatre and returned to Cavalier.
A year later Clifford Bouvette contacted Duffy and encouraged him to come back to Hallock believing that the Sunday night movie vote could now pass. Duffy and family returned to Hallock July 5th, 1929 and reopened the Grand. As Clifford had predicted, in the next city election Sunday movies were voted in and this made the difference between success and failure.
This was still the time of silent movies, but about this time "talkies" were being developed by the movie industry and this was an expensive invention Duffy could not afford. At this time Fred "Casey" Jones* was living in Hallock. Casey had a very inventive mind and he decided he could make as good a sound system as the movie industry. Casey was a determined and brilliant man and before long the Grand Theatre had one of the best sound systems in the area.
Axel Carlson was the projectionist at the threatre for many years. He was very faithful in showing up each night in spite of the moans and groans and boos from the audience when a film would break or catch fire, through no fault of his.
The first years The Larsons ran the theatre in Hallock the school did not have a gymnasium, so all the basketball games were played at the theatre. The seats were fastened onto long boards so they could be slid to the side on nights when there were gaves. This also was done for dances which were a big part of the theatre business. At first a record player and loud speaker system was used, so someone had to sit and keep the records running all evening, but as times got better, Duffy hired orchestras to come and play for the dances. It was an exciting night when a big band from one of the larger cities in the area came to town. It was also a worry until they showed up as sometimes bad weather and gumbo roads made it impossible for the orchestra to keep its engagement.
Geneva started a popcorn concession in the lobby of the theatre. This was her own little business and what money she made was hers to keep. Duffy was quite generous about this as he paid for the popcorn and the oil! Helen didn't think it was such a great idea as many an afternoon and evening was spend making and selling popcorn when it would rather had been spent with friends. Besides, everything worn reeked of popcorn.
Duffy sold the the theatre in 1939 to Mr. Clatsworthy, who hired Ray Walters to manage it.
January 1, 1947, the Joseph Carriere family purchased the Grand Theatre. The entire family worked at the theatre. Many improvements were made in the business. In 1952, 3-D pictures came into effect and in 1953 cinemascope was installed.
In 1954 Joe built the 75-Hi Drive-In theatre 1 1/2 miles south of Hallock which was operated in addition to the Grand Theatre. The Carriere family made their residence above the Grand Theatre.
In September of 1975, a fire destroyed the Grand Theatre which also housed the Carrieres' living quarters and the dentist office of Dr. Harry Hanson. It was a sad ending to a fine business which had provided entertainment to the community and neighboring areas for many years.
FROM: Hallock - A History of our First 100 Years
Taken from the November 13, 1920 edition of The People's Press:
On Wednesday evening the doors of the new Grand Theatre were thrown open to the public for the first time, the occasion being a Grand Ball. Over 200 couples were present from all parts of the county to attend the installation of this wonderful institution. The very latest of dance music was furnished by Dick's Orchestra, consisting of piano, violin, trombone, saxaphone, drums and traps. That a good time was had was evidence by the fact that after lunch at midnight, the entire crowd returned to dance and continued until 2:30a.m. The theatre is one of the most up-to-date places of educational amusement and enjoyment in the Northwest. It excels any in the northern part of the state by far. The decorations and scenery are most wonderful. The opening play last Friday evening entitled "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" provided a winner as are all the Art-Craft Paramount features which Mr. Krumholz has booked for his regular circuit. These pictures are too well known to need any special comment, but we can say that none are too good for exhibition in the new Grand Theatre. We feel that Mr. Krumholz is erecting this modern institution, and that, in reward, the people of Hallock and community should and will give him their support in the way of patronage.
*Frederick McKinley Jones
Jones grew up in Covington, Ky., with his Irish-American father. Jones attended school until age 11 at a monastery. At 11, Jones quit school, ran away from the monastery and lived on the streets. At 14, Jones began to learn all he could about mechanics through working in different car garages and on a steam ship. These experiences aided him when he moved to Hallock in 1912.
One of those jobs led Jones to the James J. Hill Farm, operated by Hill's son Walter, in Northcote, Jones was a mechanical genius. He could fix anything from the farm equipment to Hill's Packards. He was put in charge of maintaining all equipment at the 300,000-acre farm. He next went to work at a garage and farm implement shop, where he again began building and this time racing dirt track cars. Since he was living in the snow belt, he also experimented with early snowmobile design. After Hill sold the farm in 1916, Jones worked for Oscar Younggren in Hallock. Almost everyone came to Jones to have anything fixed. Jones made a wireless telegraph for his best friend Clifford Bouvette, a portable X-ray machine for his friend Dr. Arthur W. Shaleen, and made radios out of scraps cheaply for local residents. Most of his inventions were made from scraps.
During World War I, Jones served as a mechanic and electrician in France, returning to Hallock in 1919. Although he had only a few years of formal education, he had a broad range of interests and gained expertise by watching others, asking questions, reading books and magazines, and by practice.
It was motion pictures that led Jones to the next phase of his life, a 30-year business relationship and friendship with Joseph Numero. The Hallock movie house, like many other small theaters, had difficulty making the expensive switch over from silent films to "talkies." While working as a projectionist there, Jones volunteered to build a version of a sound-movie machine. Using such materials as disks from a plow and a leather machine belt to drive them, he pieced together a sound-on-record projection system for the Grand Theater. When the industry upgraded to sound-on-film, Jones again went to work and ground a glass towel rod into the lens needed to produce the sound. The system he created rivaled the quality of those that commercial manufacturers were leasing to movie houses. Word of the homemade sound system Jones fabricated reached Minneapolis, and when Joseph Numero heard how well it worked he sent a letter to the Hallock theater asking the maker to come to Minneapolis.
When Jones arrived at Ultraphone Sound Systems Inc. in 1930, he again encountered the racism so prevalent in the United States at the time, as he was immediately informed that there were no janitorial jobs available at the company. Nevertheless, Jones produced the letter Numero had sent to the Hallock theater, and was eventually introduced to the other engineers. Soon after going to work for Ultraphone, Jones was appointed chief engineer...
FROM: Thermal King History
** Basket socials, also called box socials, were a popular form of entertainment for many years, and in fact, are still enjoyed in some areas. Each lady would pack a lunch and wrap it appealingly. The decorated boxes were then auctioned off and the money used for some community project. The winner of a box would not only get to eat the lunch but also to enjoy the company of the lady who prepared it. The identity of the owner was supposed to be a secret, but of course, sometimes a young lady might let a certain young man know which box was hers. Equally entertaining was to watch several young men vying for the same box!

I am undeniably a huge fan of Bills. He's insanely smart and point on! Loved Religulous, Love him!!
Views: 205
The Religulous interviews with believers and the clueless congressman and the lady who is coming back on the white horse were ridiculous and tiresome. So I must admit, I wasn't wild for Religulous ... Except For The End. Maher's closing commentary is nothing short of brilliant, and a call to arms for anyone who prefers thinking for themselves to having someone with a holy book think for you.
Yes, I purchased the Religulous DVD and watch it often.

Young Drivers Prefer Hybrid Cars — Do You? — Survey of the Day
The green revolution is strong among young drivers, the majority of whom prefer eco-friendly vehicles over any other type of car.
Deloitte asked 2,050 19-31-year olds what type of car they would most like to purchase. Fifty-seven said a hybrid. Thirty-seven percent want a vehicle with a traditional gas-only power train, while two percent are looking for a purely electric automobile.
While this may have something to do with environmental concerns, high gas prices also clearly come into play as 89 percent of the young drivers surveyed cited fuel efficiency as a major consideration when buying a vehicle.

A 17-year-old Pomona boy was arrested Friday on suspicion of possessing narcotics for sale, Pomona Police said Saturday.
Police arrested the teen around 10:35 a.m. Friday at a trailer park at 1052 E. Mission Blvd, according to a statement from Pomona Police Department.
Officers were investigating the theft of security cameras from the trailer park when they found three teen boys at the back of the park, said. Lt. Ron McDonald.
Officers approached the teens who appeared to be engaged in some sort of drug activity and found one was allegedly in possession of 26.2 grams of methamphetamine and 1.64 grams of cocaine packaged in small bags for sale, police said.
The drugs have a street value of about $2,800, the statement said.

Assemblyman Mike Gatto -- whose district includes the studio-heavy cities of Burbank, Glendale and part of Hollywood -- has been appointed to the California Film Commission.
The commission handles permitting for filming on state property, and supports in-state film production through tax credits and other assistance – an important role given the recent years long trend of film shoots moving out of state to take advantage of lower costs.
In a statement Tuesday, Gatto said he was proud to have been appointed to the commission given the fact that he represents "many of the studios, executives, creative and technical staff and talent that make up one of California's most critical industries."
Gatto, appointed Assembly Speaker John Perez, joins 21 other members on the commission. Among them is Anthony Portantino, who worked in film and television prior to representing La Cañada and Pasadena in the Assembly from 2006 until terming out of office in December.
Portantino also served on the film commission during his time in office.
In a statement Tuesday, Portantino said he was "very grateful" for the appointment, which would allow him to continue his passion for working in the film industry.
"Anthony has been a consistent champion of the film and television industry and in the effort to keep this vital industry right here in California," the commission's chairman, Keith Weaver, said in a statement. "We are so glad to have him back."

We're all about starting conversations, and hashtags are a great way to do that.
One of the more popular hashtags is Throwback Thursday, or #TBT. The trend began as a way for people to share older pictures of themselves or reminisce about the past in general. Brands have jumped on the bandwagon and have found creative ways to do so. Here are eight brands using the Throwback Thursday hashtag well:
BMW's history is filled with gorgeous vehicles. So, finding a classic Bimmer isn't a tough task.
Another car brand with a rich heritage, Dodge has plenty of beautiful muscle cars to show off. This tweet puts a nice twist on Throwback Thursday asking followers which style they prefer: classic or modern.
Full disclosure: Dodge brand is a client of Ignite Social Media.
Land Rover USA
Land Rover SUVs are known for their ability to climb every mountain and ford every stream. This tweet reminds followers of that by showing a picture of the Range Rover that traveled all the way from Alaska to Chile.

People magazine
I know the holidays are long over, but I couldn't resist sharing this amazing picture of Justin Timberlake. And you thought pictures of you from the '90s were embarrassing. This post excels on several levels: It's a fantastic nostalgia play, it's very funny, and, most important, it's easily shared, which is why it garnered almost 600 retweets.
Back in the 1980s, soda manufacturers switched from real cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup due to tariffs. A few years ago, PepsiCo decided to bring back a limited amount of "throwback" Pepsi and Mountain Dew made with "real sugar." What better way to incorporate into Throwback Thursday than soda with the same name?
Red Bull
Red Bull forgoes talking about itself to bring up the classic Konami Code. A tweet like this one would be inappropriate for most brands, but it fits Red Bull's voice and style perfectly.
Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines busted out this groovy photo of its very first hub in Houston. Showing the company is still serving there 42 years later is a subtle way of illustrating how successful the brand has become.
Not only did Wendy's use a classic photo for its Throwback Thursday post; it also used the opportunity to brag about an important innovation in fast-food history.
How should you participate in Throwback Thursday? Think about the history of your brand. Have you had any important firsts or innovations? Do you have any photos of your company in its infancy? Would it be fun to share in some nostalgia with your followers? If the answer to any of these is "yes," you should get ready to add a Throwback Thursday post to your content mix.

Barry C. Silk
Theme: None
Super quick write-up today. It's almost 10:00 (Eastern) and I just finished the puzzle. Took a stab at it last night after watching some of the tennis, but couldn't get far. Decided I must be too tired and figured I'd finish up in the morning. Well, I chipped away at it in fits and starts for quite a while this morning. Finally had everything except the dreaded northeast corner. I think that corner took me as long as the whole rest of the puzzle. Once I got it pieced together, the only thing that looks completely out of place is that SCARNE character (13D: "The Odds Against Me" autobiographer John). Apparently, he's a magician. Anybody heard of him? I sure haven't.
Other problems for me included the vague clue for DRS. (60D: J et al.) since it was crossing ELEAZAR (62A: Son of Aaron), a biblical reference (not exactly my strong suit). I had to run the alphabet there. BEATLES CONCERT took me a long time to see. With the O,N and T in place I faintly penciled in "ONE HIT," thinking that seemed like a reasonable ending for an answer having something to do with baseball. I had OHMS for RHOS (32D: Density symbols, in physics) for quite a while. Also HAIR for HEAT (5D: Wave makeup) and MADE IT for MADE DO (7D: Squeaked by). I'm gonna call this one tough but fair although I'm pretty sure there will be some disagreement about the fair part in the comments. Let's hear it!

On this day — the Senate Finance Committee appears ready to vote out its version of the budget; the Senate's budget proposal sets up a showdown with the House over the Rainy Day Fund; the House passes a priority model for TEXAS Grants; and explore the Houston Chronicle/Texas Tribune's new budget calculator.
***Voting Coming on Senate Proposal
The Houston Chronicle/San Antonio Express-News Austin Bureau Chief (and Hogwarts master of budgets) Peggy Fikac reports that the Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote on its budget proposal today. The Senate budget spends billions more than the House budget.
The Senate proposal — which would soften cuts to public schools, higher education and human services in the face of a massive revenue shortfall — is at least $14 billion more in all funds than a plan approved earlier by the House.
It would still fall $8.9 billion below the current level of state and federal spending.
Ogden lofted the idea of using the rainy day fund as a contingency after Senate budget-writers approved a slew of revenue-raising and money-saving measures that he said still would leave them $3 billion short of paying for their plan.
***And The Catch…
The Senate needs another $3 billion in revenue to make their budget balance. The most obvious place to get the $3 billion is the Rainy Day Fund, which House leaders and Gov. Rick Perry have pledged they won't touch it to balance the budget for the next biennium. So, to borrow that line from the Joker — "this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object."
Again, quoting from Peggy Fikac's story:
House budget-writers also have said they would like to add some funding to those key areas, although not as much as their Senate counterparts. Pitts, R-Waxahachie, said Wednesday he still sees no appetite in his chamber for spending more from the rainy day fund.
Ogden, in pitching the rainy day fund as a contingency, said that he expects it to have more than the $9.4 billion estimated by the comptroller. Since it's fueled by oil and gas taxes, he said energy prices could allow it to grow to $12 billion. That would make a $6.1 billion total expenditure from the fund about half of its value.
"I think we're right, and we're going to fight for this," Ogden said of the Senate plan compared to the House. "This is not politics, in my view. This is our best effort to do the best we can on behalf of the state."
***Priority Model Gets House Okay
The Texas House passed a measure that would create a priority list for awarding TEXAS Grant money to needy college students in the state. The Chronicle/Express-News' Bobby Cervantes reports:
Critics of the bill worried that the new academic standards will hurt minority students applying for the TEXAS Grants, which are now awarded based mostly on financial need.
But the bill's author, Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, said poor students who are high achievers will still be first in line for help.
The bill caused some high-profile defections within the Democratic caucus.
***I Can Do It!
Texans have repeatedly told pollsters for the five major daily newspapers and the Texas Tribune that they want the budget balanced with spending cuts instead of tax increases. When Texans are asked what programs they'd like to cut — they generally say lawmakers should cut everything but criminal justice, public education, and social services for the poor. Here's the rub, those three groups of programs account for the vast majority of the state's budget.
Texans oppose raising taxes to balance the budget and they oppose cutting the state's major spending programs to balance the budget. It could accurately be described as a political conundrum.
Here's your chance to try and do what lawmakers have been struggling with for the last three months — balancing the budget. Use the Houston Chronicle/Texas Tribune's budget calculator to explore the different options lawmakers are considering and then chart your own course to the distant land of "surplus revenue." You can even share the results with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.
– The Houston Chronicle Matthew Tresaugue reports that the TCEQ has new guidelines out for Galveston Bay and environmentalist are not happy with rules.
– The Houston Chronicle's Tom Fowler reports that British Petroleum (sorry, BP) is suing Transocean for $40 billion in damages.
– The New York Times reports on the devastating effect the massive oil spill has had on the Gulf of Mexico, including a massive dead zone near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
– The Los Angeles Times has the latest on the massive wildfires burning throughout Texas; including the story of some Texas towns that have been left to defend themselves.
– To Professor Daron Shaw, it looked like your long nightmare as a Dodgers fan had finally come to an end — the Los Angeles Times reported that MLB was taking over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The euphoria in LA only lasted for a few hours because Frank McCourt decided to challenge Selig's decision in court. Lord knows where he found the money for this court case.
The LATimes' Bill Plaschke comments on how, for once, baseball's Robert Mugabe (Bud Selig) actually managed to do the right thing for the sport.
And on a personal note from a lifelong Giants fan raised to hate all things LA, most especially the Dodgers — Dodger fans, and baseball, deserve better than the McCourt's and I'm glad they're (almost) gone.
– The San Francisco Chronicle reports on the President's visit to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he participated in a "town hall" meeting at Facebook's headquarters. The President is expected to come to the Austin area in May as part of a fundraising trip.

Beyonce Chops Off Her Hair [Pictures]
Beyonce got a chop!
The flawless singer chopped off her signature long hair, showing off a short, pixie-style 'do in a series of photos posted on her Instagram feed.
Since Bey has a gorgeous face, she can go bald and make that look good. But we're used to her flowing, thick mane, which she fashioned in waves, curls and stick straight styles, framing her face. This is certainly a huge change.
And if she decides in a few days or weeks that short hair is not for her and is not as liberating as it seems, she can easily employ a wig stylist a la Nicki Minaj to change up her look and fake long locks again.
Check out the photos below, which show Bey from the front and back with her newly-shorn locks.
PopCrushers, what do you think of Beyzus' new style? Do you love it? Hate it? Can she rock just about anything and make you weak in the news with her beauty? Tell us in the comments below.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech softball team resumes its Ohio Valley Conference schedule as it travels to Jacksonville State Wednesday, for a crucial doubleheader.
The doubleheader against JSU was originally scheduled for March 30, but was pushed back to this Wednesday due to unplayable conditions.
Currently, the Jacksonville State Gamecocks own a 31-11 record and sit second in the OVC with a 16-3 conference record. Amanda Crow leads the team in several offensive categories including home runs and RBI with 13 and 42, respectively. The Gamecocks are led by Tiffany Harbin in circle as she has won 18 games, while striking out 181 batters.
Recently, Tech absorbed a sweep at Kentucky including a 4-3, 10-inning loss, to fall to 16-21 on the season. Callie Schmidt and Brittney Spalding lead the team with 21 runs batted in, while Melody Christian has scored a team-high 29 runs.
Jacksonville State leads the all-time series 18-17, which includes a 12-2 win from earlier this season.

One of the moves the Texans could make to get down to the 53-man limit is placing safety Ed Reed on the reserve PUP list, which would give him six weeks more to recover from his offseason hip surgery.
They don't appear to be going that route, though. Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston reports that Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Friday that he expects Reed will go through drills at practice on Monday and Tuesday as part of the process of making a determination about whether or not he'll play against the Chargers in Week One.
If Reed's condition is such that the Texans think he has a chance of playing a week from Monday, it stands to reason that they won't be making a roster move that guarantees he'll miss at least five more beyond that. Reed may not be able to go from getting injections in his hip last week to playing in the opener, but if he'll be able to play in Week Two or Three, the Texans will live without the roster spot until then.
Should Reed not be able to go in the opener, the Texans will go with rookie D.J. Swearinger, Danieal Manning and Shiloh Keo at safety.

Times Higher Education global reputation survey ranks Penn State in Top 50
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State has ranked 39th among universities worldwide in the fourth annual Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings, released March 5.
Penn State entered the Top 50 for the first time in the 2014 reputation rankings, based on 10,536 responses, from 133 countries, to an invitation-only academic survey carried out by global data provider Thomson Reuters.
According to the Times Higher Education website, the survey is the world's largest survey of its kind. The survey takes a unique approach to data-gathering and analytics by directly engaging more than 300,000 academics and researchers, who are asked to identify the institutions they consider to be the best in terms of research and teaching, both in specific regions and globally.
The full results and methodology of the reputation rankings can be found at http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings online.
The reputation-only rankings are a subsidiary of the annual Times Higher Education World University Rankings, published in the fall, on which Penn State ranked 49th internationally in 2013.

From JPD:
At approximately 12:15 AM on Thursday, January 16th, officers responded to a commercial alarm call at the Bargain Shop, 611 Bell Fork Road. When they arrived, officers found that the glass front door of the business had been shattered. The investigation revealed that a male subject carrying a duffle bag had thrown a brick through the front door, entered the business and fled with electronics equipment.
At 3:22 AM JPD Officers responded to another commercial alarm call at the Carolina Cash Exchange, 2434A Onslow Drive. Upon arrival, officers observed that the glass door of the business was cracked. The investigation revealed a male subject attempting to break the glass door with a brick. Entry was not made into the business and the subject left on foot in the direction of Northwoods Shopping Center.
Patrol officers canvassed the area and observed a male in front of Yesterday�s Thrift Store in the Northwoods Shopping Center. The subject, fitting the description of the subject in the surveillance footage at the Bargain Shop and Carolina Cash Exchange, was carrying the same bag identified in the morning�s previous incidents.
The subject, Dominque Hooks, 21, of Gum Branch Road in Jacksonville was taken into custody without incident. His charges and bond are listed below. He is held at the Onslow County Detention Center.
JPD�s Investigative Services Division partnered with the Patrol Division to recover the stolen property in the incidents. �The swift action and vigilance of the patrol officers on duty resulted in the arrest� said Captain Randy Nordstrom, Patrol Division Supervisor.
