Saturday's "Taste of Tsuruta" event helps mark a milestone year for the Tsuruta-Hood River Sister City Program.
The annual Taste of Tsuruta fund-raiser will be Jan. 27, 4 to 7 p.m. at Hood River Valley Adult Center. The dinner is a benefit for the Sister City Program between Hood River and Tsuruta, Japan.
Hood River-Tsuruta Sister City Program celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Call 386-3276 to make a reservation for the Taste of Tsuruta. Tickets cost $10 and are available at Waucoma Bookstore, Rosauers Supermarket and Annz Panz, or at the door.
The menu is a familiar one: yakisoba noodles, miso soup, teriyaki chicken, and dessert. Meals can be eaten at the Adult Center or taken out.
Anyone with donated items for the marketplace sale should deliver them to the Adult Center on the afternoon of Jan. 27.
Taste of Tsuruta started out as a Chinese New Year event. This is The Year of the Pig. In honor of that bit of history, this year's "Taste" tickets bear the image of a pig. In its early years, Tsuruta supporters who were also members of Crag Rats held a "Noodle Party" fund-raiser, led by the late Ray "Chop" Yasui.
"They formed a close-knit group who remained quite active in our organization," said program membership chairwoman Betty Carrithers.
"During those times, the Noodle Party was the highlight of our year."
The Hood River-Tsuruta Sister City Program is seeking increased membership from individuals and local businesses. Businesses joining Hood River-Tsuruta will receive a window decal. Program organizers are hoping to see numerous such decals in windows in time for the anniversary celebration in April.
"We believe that we have an important connection with Tsuruta and that we need a broader base to fully develop our program," Carrithers said. "Increasing our financial base is also a consideration."

The Zulu people call themselves as 'the people of the heavens'. Once a disparate group of clans and chieftainships, they were melded into a great kingdom by Shaka in the early 19th century.
Because of the exploits of Shaka and his successors, the Zulu people are arguably the most recognisable in Africa. Today they number over nine million, with the majority living in KwaZulu-Natal. Their language, IsiZulu, is the most widely spoken in South Africa.
Zulu people hold their culture in high esteem, observing many of its ancient traditions, rituals and ceremonies. They believe strongly in the presence of ancestral spirits, which are essential in their day-to-day lives. Birth, marriage and death are opportune times to communicate with the ancestors in the Zulu culture.
In Zulu tradition there is also belief in a Supreme Creator. He is not intricately involved in the lives of the people and he has never been seen by anyone, which is why no ceremonies are ever performed in his name.
The typical Zulu family still exists in rural Zululand. It includes all people staying in a homestead who are related to one other. Everyone will stay in the homestead, which is often made up of circular, fenced huts with thatched roofs. A man is always the head of the household.
In Zulu culture, clothing is often intricate, carrying meaning with each outfit. Men, women and children wear beads as accessories. Men wear the amabeshu – an apron made of goat or cattle skin, but worn at the back. In addition, men decorate their heads with furs and feathers, while also wearing goatskin bands on their arms and legs.
Women wear the isidwaba, a traditional black skirt of goat or cattle skin. If a woman is not married, she will cover her upper body with a string of beads.

Today's post is from Keegan Chetwynd, an employee at the Houston Museum of Natural Sciene at Sugar Land.
Over the past few weeks many of you have had the opportunity to visit our Crime Lab Detective exhibit.
We have had the privilege of hosting several events involving community law enforcement agencies. We have decided to put together a few articles on different law enforcement functions within the community; this first article will be focused on the Sugar Land Police Department and their role within our community as high visibility crime prevention specialists. We will also be taking the time to examine several of the more interesting pieces of equipment in use by the department.
Since Sugar Land was first declared a "General Law" city in 1959 the police department has been an integral part of the community, in fact, one of the very first substantial expenditures undertaken by the city in 1959 was a $3000 Police Car that was fully equipped by the standards of the time. Traffic signage, street lights, a typewriter and an adding machine were also among the early expenditures. The annual budget for running the city totaled only $52,000 at the time, it now tops out above $52 Million, and the police department has grown to reflect these changes. The police department presently employs 176 people who, through hard work and dedication have made Sugar Land the safest city in Texas.
To get a better picture of how the inside of their department works on a regular day, I met up with Sergeant Jimmy Surratt who had agreed to take me on a behind the scenes tour of the station, and to bring me along for 2 shifts in his cruiser. Jimmy has been a career policeman, having started work in 1986 for the Wharton County Sherriff's Department. He has been with the Sugar Land police department since 1992. When asked why he first decided to become a police officer, he expressed that it had been the result of a strong desire to assist members of the community, and it must be mentioned that this is a sentiment well echoed within the department in Sugar Land.
|Officer Jimmy and Justin
The City of Sugar Land is divided up into 6 beats, the first of which extends north of Highway 90 to the edge of the city.
The second beat is what amounts to the Sugar Land business district along Highway 6 and Highway 59. Beats 3, 4 and 5 are predominantly residential neighborhoods to the East, South and West sides of the city respectively. The Sixth is actually listed within the department as Beat 9, and it represents a special patrol area within the Town Center area. Our museum is located right in the heart of Beat 5.
Because of the supervisory role of Patrol Sergeants we were able to move between several areas, and were able to respond to a number of incidents throughout the course of the 2 shifts. In one instance there had been an attempted burglary in a residential area, there was some indication that the burglars themselves were wearing work overalls and had been driving what looked like a service van. This is a particular sort of crime that has been observed with some regularity in the more affluent communities in the United States, in some instances the criminals are even able to disguise themselves as Postal workers or Linemen for the power companies. In a sentiment that is echoed by the department's crime prevention strategies Sergeant Surratt encourages anyone who finds a suspicious person in their community to call the non-emergency police line @ 281-275-2020 and to try and provide specific details about the suspicious actions of the individuals, and most importantly, if possible, try to record the license plate information on their vehicle.
When the police observe a visible trend in crime within their community, one of the first suppression options is to create an impact team. It is comprised of a group of officers who are being specially tasked to handle the rising frequency of the specific type of crime. One of the more basic ways that an impact team is able to thwart burglars is often by persistent patrols in areas that are being frequented by suspicious persons.
|Police Chase!
An interesting side effect of having a well-staffed and well-motivated body of officers is that the majority of them have had the opportunity to go through additional training, beyond what is required by the state. In fact several members of the Sugar Land Police Department have had the distinct privilege of attending the F.B.I.'s international training course hosted at their facilities in Virginia. Lt. Justin Joyce is among the chosen few, and in describing his experiences within the program, it was abundantly clear that the objective of the course was to raise global law enforcement standards, to promote cooperation between agencies, and to expand the knowledge base of those in attendance.
I also found it very interesting to note that contrary to what Hollywood would have us believe, a Crime Scene Investigation unit is not always called to the scene of every crime that happens. In most instances the police officers in our community are fully trained in evidence handling and collection techniques, and are more than capable of spear heading an investigation. The Crime Scene Unit is generally processing the harvested evidence within their lab. They will only be called out to the field at the request of an on-scene commander; discharged weapons, high dollar theft, and harm to other human beings are generally the sorts of crimes that require their onsite expertise. The Crime Lab in Sugar Land is known for its finger printing capabilities, but DNA is not cost effective to do in-house, and so it is sent away to a state facility. Our exhibit Crime Lab Detective does place a strong emphasis on finger prints, and so I have developed a strong appreciation for anyone who is able to do comparisons without the assistance of a machine. The Lab in Sugar Land does have a fully functional AFIS (Automated Finger Print Identification System) which is able to help them with this task.
|Crime Scene Vehicles
As promised we will now take a look at some of the equipment in use by the department currently.
If you live in the Sugar Land area you may have noticed that there is a change occurring. The older Crown Victoria's are starting to disappear from the streets, and are being replaced with the highly visible Tahoe, but among the Tahoe's parked behind the station there is a smattering of something altogether more sinister and aggressive in appearance.
|Sugar Land Police Charger
The Dodge Chargers in use by the police are 2006 models, and are fully decked out with the factory police conversion package, including the 340 Horse Power, 5.7 Liter Hemi V8 engine and all of the other hardware needed for its role as a Traffic enforcement vehicle. Although the vehicle itself weighs almost 2 tons it is agile, with precise steering and a rear wheel drive system that is favored by police. It also has a silhouette which is similar to a number of vehicles common on today's roads, and when painted in subdued markings it has proven itself exceedingly useful in the apprehension of drivers who would otherwise hide their recklessness in the presence of a squad car. Inside the Charger there is the regular suite of police additions, including radios, equipment racks, and the computer system that is used to track the vehicles, and also to relay call information to the officer, and allow him to see more information on persons of interest. As would be expected from modern law enforcement vehicles there is also a system which monitors the actions of the officer during a traffic stop, for his own safety.
There is however one piece of hardware onboard the new Chargers that might not be as easily recognized – The License Plate Recognition System. As the car moves through the streets of Sugar Land it is actively scanning all the vehicles around it with the cameras mounted on the trunk. It is supported by a computer that runs a complex algorithm which is able to determine license plate numbers from the camera images. It can determine plate numbers even when they are skewed by perspective. These License plates are then matched against a list of outstanding warrants and stolen vehicles, and if a match is made the officer is alerted, and is then able to perform a traffic stop. It is quite likely that as technology further improves, we will start to see these systems on more police cars around the country.

A mean penis, specifically a penis that is holding out which would be a mean thing to do. Also includes people who happen to have penises that are exceptionally mean.
Snexys was quite irate to find that Chris would not do her. She informed him that he was being a mean penis, to which Locked called him a meanis. As snexys and locked walked away to go be naughty in front of Grant instead of Chris, Chris cried himself to sleep for he was now more useless in bed than a seemingly gay foreigner.

A Kansas City Catholic Bishop has been indicted on a child endangerment charge for failing to report that a child may have been sexually abused by a priest when he had reasonable cause to believe that such abuse took place. Per the article:
That reasonable cause included the discovery of hundreds of photographs on the priest's laptop, "including a child's naked vagina, upskirt images and images focused on the crotch area and violations of restrictions that were placed on Father Ratigan."
Surprisingly the charge is only a misdemeanor. However, also per the article:
"The fact that this is a misdemeanor complaint should not diminish the significance of this charge," Peters-Baker said. "This is a significant charge. To my knowledge, a charge like this has not been leveled before."

TV's Jon and Kate Gosselin separate, say they plan to divorce
Celebrity parents Jon and Kate Gosselin say they plan to divorce.
By Frazier Moore, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published : June 23, 2009
NEW YORK - Celebrity parents Jon and Kate Gosselin say they plan to divorce.
The co-stars of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," who are parents of 5-year-old sextuplets and 8-year-old twins, spoke of their decision to separate during Monday's episode of the TLC reality series. Near the end of the hour-long episode, a title card summed things up in stark terms: It said that on Monday, "legal proceedings were initiated in Pennsylvania to dissolve the 10-year marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin."
The network had been promising a major on-air decision from the couple, whose increasingly troubled marriage has dominated the series in recent weeks, as well as fuelling a firestorm of tabloid coverage.
"We've been dealing a long time with this," Kate said, speaking of her marital problems and the attendant publicity.
"It's been a hard seven or eight months," Jon said in one of his separate on-camera sessions. "It's been a really hard last four months. This is the hardest episode ever."
The beginning of the program was taken up with the delivery and assembly of prefab playhouses for the Gosselin kids. It was the sort of family activity that had formed the crux of the series, now in its fifth season, as it was originally envisioned: A reality show that would chronicle the challenges of raising a supersized family.
But even during this interlude, Kate and Jon were barely speaking. Where to install the four playhouses was a source of friction between them.
"My stomach is churning because I know this is gonna cause a huge fight," Kate told the camera as the installation process began in their yard.
The latter part of the show focused on the couple as they discussed the painful decision they have settled on.
"I just need relief now," Kate said. "I need to turn the page."
Jon described his relationship with Kate as "a total breakdown of everything."
"Jon & Kate" is TLC's most-watched series, drawing nearly 10 million viewers for its season premiere recently. But with the couple's celebrity has come nonstop celebrity coverage, and scandal. There have been reports of infidelity by both Jon and Kate (accusations both of them deny).
Adding to the strain, Pennsylvania's Labour Department opened an investigation into whether the show's production is complying with state child labour laws. TLC has said it "fully complies" with state laws and regulations.
Looking ahead, Kate said, "I don't really want to be alone. I don't want to do this alone."
But she described the split as "the next chapter." And while she and Jon have spoken angrily about the pressure on their marriage from unsought fame and press attention, she conceded, "I believe that it's a chapter that probably would have played out had the world been watching, or not."
One thing the couple could agree on: "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will continue.
"We interview separately, we'll film different things," Jon explained. "Me and the kids, her and the kids."
"How does the show go on?" said Kate. "The show MUST go on!"

Love is always lovelier some place other than home. Well, at least in the celluloid universe.
Traveling by boat, train or even bus can lead to romantic entanglements in the movies, as does visiting über-romantic locales such as Rome, Paris and Venice. Of course, these romances may not last, or they may even end tragically — just think of poor Jack and Rose in "Titanic" — but it doesn't matter. Movie audiences crave these idealistic, sexy trysts.
Here's a look at some of the best films in the romantic travel genre:
All aboard!
Trains are great locations for love and romance. And we're not just talking Alfred Hitchcock's 1959...

Civil War Monthly Featured Document return to document overview
Dear Mother,
I am perfectly conscious that
The first Sergeant, Lawton by name
Serg't Johnson or Obed as we all call him
is second serg't and my particular friend. A rough
uncouth Sharon shoemaker, yet a well informed
and kind hearted man. He is more disposed
to do the best he can for the men, keep them out
of scrapes and make hard times than any other
officer we have. He is our story teller, our news-
monger and our prophet. He and I have got
talks and discussions on matters military, civil
and religious. He is known all over the reg't
and generally liked. He is a man of good prin-
ciples and I think a fit companion for any fellow
although he is well posted in the ways of the
world. He is my great crony any way.
Our third, Harrison, is a pretty good fellow
only rather snappish and not very popular.
Our fourth, West, a "Blue Nose" is one of my
oldest military acquaintances, being one of Capt
Soules squad, a pretty good fellow, whose
principal trouble is having been called a
"big Yank" by one of the western men when
Our fifth, Eldridge is rather slack
witted but
Our company, although composed mostly
and affection of his company.
The treatment of some of our officers is unpleasant
Don't think I write this because I am in the sulks
But the last part of my letter has not been saying
My bunk mate is not a particular crony of mine
My other tentmate, White, is a
very old
and is called cross, snappish, and grouty, but I
know him pretty well and he is about my age, so I
get along very pleasantly and consider him a
free hearted, goodtempered fellow, considering
his situation and almost anyone knowing his
former life must wonder that he is so good
natured as he is. He told me part of his story the
other night after the other fellows had gone
to sleep. His mother died when he was a little
fellow and his other parent, though still
living can not legitimately be called his father.
Meddling tattlers broke up the marriage almost on
the eve. After his mother died he went to the poor
house and ever since has been tossed around
amongst strangers. He seldom
writes to any body and I don't remember to have
seen him ever get a letter. His guardian to
whom he sometimes sends for money (he has a little property)
answers him very harshly although I rather think
for his good, and refuses the money. He used
to be a hard working boy, he so say some acquain
Altogether I think he is a kind obliging freehearted
The unenviable name attached to our corps
and the jealousy of Gen'l Thomas towards Potomac
troops I think will keep us guarding the R. R.
Think me not cowardly if I say I am not sorry.
With many thoughts of you and constant
love, I am your son,
E. L. Edes

BETHEL — Thousands of fans waited in miles of traffic on routes 17B and 17 Thursday in Sullivan County, headed for one of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts' biggest concert events of the year.
BETHEL — Thousands of fans waited in miles of traffic on Routes 17B and 17 Thursday in Sullivan County, headed for one of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts' biggest concert events of the year.
Concertgoers were fortunate to get a spot at the sold-out Eagles "History of the Eagles" concert, but the price was not cheap. Tickets started at $56.50 for lawn seats and rose to $194.50 for reserved seats.
Longtime fans Chris Marshall of Wilmington, Del., and his childhood friends bought lawn seats as soon as they were available for purchase.
"We have been music lovers since we were 12 years old," Marshall said of his experiences hearing musicians like Frankie Avalon and the Beatles with his friends in his youth. "We were little, but we listened to it. Music has been part of our lives."
Marshall and his friends — John Kowalski of Beach Lake, Pa.; Rich Bower of Bloomsburg, Pa.; Bob Curwood of Chambersburg, Pa., and Paul Hartman of Stillwater, Pa. — attended Thursday's concert with their wives and some other friends.
The friends grew up together and have listened to the Eagles for decades. Their pre-show tailgate proudly featured a banner that read "Eaglestock July 2013."
"The first time I remember hearing the Eagles, I was in Chris' parents living room," Kowalski said of his No. 1 favorite band. "... As soon as I heard them, I became a fan."
Mary Lee of Ridgefield, N.J., was going to her first-ever Eagles concert — despite being a lifelong fan. She brought her two daughters.
Lee's older daughter, Nicole Fichthorn, 28, said that the family is used to being around the older rock 'n' roll crowd because Lee had brought them to shows by Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton and more.
"I've been listening to (the Eagles) since I was born," said Lee's 20-year-old daughter, Kelly Thomas. "Actually seeing the group now is going to be an interesting experience."
Tom Chipeleski of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., had seen the Eagles three times before but he didn't waste any time buying his tickets for Thursday's show.
"You never know when they're going to play their last concert," said Chipeleski. "This is my favorite band and that's why I'm here."

For Belarusian artist, money is art
MINSK, Belarus (AP) — Art is literally money for Belarusian artist Igor Arinich.
For several years, Arinich has used Soviet-era banknotes to create artistic images. One work he is particularly proud of is a replica of a painting by early 20th-century Russian artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, which took half a year and about 3,000 banknotes to make.
He uses a special glue to fix small pieces of notes, which he buys at local flea markets, to a sketch of a future image. Each work takes months to make.
Arinich's works include portraits of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Arinich has been successful in selling them to customers in the 10-million ex-Soviet nation and neighboring Russia.
Arinich says he has sought to "transform people's view of money."

Manchester United have set their summer transfer sights on Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin, according to reports.
The Red Devils have been heavily linked with a move for Brazilian sensation Lucas Moura, with speculation as recent as yesterday suggesting that a £30 million offer had been rejected for the player by Sao Paulo.
Goal.com claims that United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has become frustrated with the prolonged negotiations however, and has instead turned his attentions away from the 19-year-old and towards the Spanish capital.
Sahin joined Los Blancos from Borussia Dortmund last summer, but has found opportunities hard to come by under Jose Mourinho, making just 10 appearances last season.
And, with Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Luka Modric expected to move to the Santiago Bernabeu at some stage in the summer transfer window, the door could be well and truly opened for Sahin to leave.
United would need to pay in the region of £20 million to bring the Turkish international to Old Trafford, according to the report, and he'd join up with former Dortmund teammate Shinji Kagawa if a deal can be done.

The PowerTCP Zip Tool enabled me to encrypt data and send it over the Internet without creating a physical file on the server ! I did this using the native stream capability. This enables a client to ask for data from the server, have the data compressed into a zip file on the server, and then sent to the client without any extra files being created on the server. Furthermore, the FileStore concept allows me to store multiple files in a single compressed file, allowing for a really clean client/server distribution model. Other controls let me compress, encrypt, etc., but your design allows for a clean delivery mechanism, which is not easily accomplished with other products.
-- JR, Developer, Sunnyvale, CA
Until now I've used the zlib control. After encountering problems with it, I was happy to find your control was as easy to use (if not easier), had much more functionality and a very good help file.

Abstract painting has been a life-long pursuit for me. In abstract painting, there is usually no imagery for the viewer to latch onto, no horizon, no beginning and no end. To me, the question is not whether a painting is a good rendition of a cow, or a true likeness of a person, but rather whether it's enjoyable and more importantly, inspiring to look at. I paint abstract pictures because all realistic painting, when honestly analyzed, is nothing more than color and form put together in a way that allows the brain to recognize it as an object. Take away the story in a realistic picture, and you are left with no more than abstraction. Some of my paintings have recognizable images, and I often explore the line between the paint on...

When she was a child growing up in City Heights, Margaret Noble and her mother would escape their neighborhood's harsh realities by cutting out paper dolls.
"It was the cheapest toy you could buy," Noble said. "My mom had bows and ribbons and paper doll dresses lying around and it was like this fantasy escapism. I always just loved it."
Two decades later, Noble is again playing with paper dolls. They are at the core of a large-scale multimedia art work Noble is creating for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
"44th and Landis," scheduled to open in early August at the museum's downtown space, is Noble's testament to both the neighborhood that shaped her urban sensitivities and an interest in the Victorian era (nurtured through those paper dolls) that helped her cope with growing up in a sea of concrete, crime and liquor stores.
"A lot of the things I pursued later — art making, dance, DJ culture, philosophy — all connected with that early experience" of growing up in City Heights, said Noble, a respected DJ, sound artist and electronic music composer who also teaches at High Tech High.
Funded by a grant from the San Diego Foundation's Creative Catalyst Fund, her project aspires to create a "visual (and aural) mash-up of 1980s urban pop culture, Victorian aesthetics and a personal remembrance of a City Heights neighborhood." It will involve a grid from which hundreds of paper dolls, cutouts, "props" and handmade speakers will be suspended. And it will open with a performance that, like the installation itself, is certain to transcend boundaries.
That's a specialty for Noble, whose pursuits cross the lines of classical, electronic and dance music and visual art. She's hoping her work might inspire audiences who have traditionally been put off by the formalities of a museum to transcend a few boundaries of their own.
"My greatest aspiration is to reach an audience that doesn't normally (visit museums)," she said. "I think it would be really great if someone walked in off the street, and they didn't feel intimidated by the museum and made a connection. That is a really, really important goal. It's always been a goal for me."
Forming the idea
Noble had been thinking about doing something Victorian-related for months, if not years, but she couldn't quite figure out what shape it might take. When she talked about it last year with a friend, filmmaker Mauricio Chernovetzky, he suggested she try to find something personal to bring to her potential project.
"I thought that didn't really make sense," Noble said, "because what's personal to me feels like the opposite of Victorianism, and that's my urban, City Heights upbringing."
Then she thought again.
"That night, I went to sleep and thought, 'Hmmm, that's genius, this idea of connectedness,' " Noble said.
That's when she realized her fascination with the Victorian ideal and her urban upbringing intersected in those simple, inexpensive, paper dolls.
Although Noble frequently works with artists and has an Master of Fine Arts degree in sound art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she knew she needed a visual collaborator to help make the dolls — as well as the other suspended elements in the project — a powerful, even dominant visual element.
"I knew I didn't have the strong visual skills to take it to that next level," she said.
And if the work was going to involve video, as she suggested in her original proposal to the San Diego Foundation and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, she needed someone to help with that as well. Then there was the issue of designing and engineering a substantial grid for hanging the work's elements.
"In my fantasy life, I'd love to go off by myself and work solo," Noble said. "But that's just not reality. It takes a team to really make something beautiful. I couldn't possibly do this alone if I want it to be what I hope it is."
Creating a community
She asked a friend and former collaborator, Bridget Rountree, to consult with her in creating the work's critical visual aspects. Among the many challenges was reconciling (or not) the conflicting tone, color palette and content of the Victorian images and the images taken from the '80s (when Noble was growing up in City Heights).
"It's my role to figure out how to merge these two very distinctive visual elements into a cohesive exhibition," Rountree said. "When Margaret gave me the initial images she wanted to work with, it was basically a matter of paring down everything, colorwise and visually, to make sure we were supporting her idea."
Working together, at first they talked about making the Victorian imagery black and white and keeping the '80s elements in color. Then they went back and forth about which set of images should be dominant.
"We had to duke that one out a little bit," said Rountree.
At this point in the process, they've decided to use color in both eras and vary the images in terms of which era dominates.
"Some (shapes) take the form of contemporary and old City Heights architecture," Noble said last week. "Some silhouettes are 1980s symbols like lowriders. … Some shapes have authentic Victorian color fills and some have '80s pop culture."
To help create and produce the hundreds of paper elements, they enlisted Ciara White, a student of Noble's at High Tech High (Noble is also helping White with her own project focusing on road kill). For the grid and installation, theater artist and engineer Brenden Cavalier joined the circle (he describes his job as akin to someone who builds the frame and stretches the canvas for a painter).
Chernovetzky, whose conversation with Noble had sparked the concept, was going to work on the video aspects planned in the original proposal, but those were dropped ("too much media," Noble said). Now he's the "narrative consultant," even if the piece will have a narrative only in the broadest sense of the word.
"You can get really drawn into imagery or themes, atmospheres, moods and tones (for their own sake)," Chernovetzky said. "How do you channel all of that and put it all together? How do you give it some structure that's layered and make it a meaningful experience" for the viewer?
Although Noble has the last word, as it's ultimately her project, she's finding that collaboration can be a delicate dance. She values the creative community she has created and is both thankful for and respectful of her collaborators' opinions. Inevitably, however, she also has her view of this work-in-progress.
"You have all these different folks who have their own vision and who have individual ways of seeing and ways of articulating," Noble said. "I want to honor what they see. But then you have to track back to where you are headed. What I see, as I'm growing with my collaborators and the project is evolving, is that there is a goal in mind, but it's not so concrete and specific that the form and the idea don't evolve."

Arson Task Force
Eight (8) local agencies have united to form the Etowah County Arson Task Force (ATF). The purpose of the ATF is to ensure that an all-inclusive investigation into the cause of fires in domestic and commercial property is carried out. Task force members cross communicate between agencies and establish strategies to resolve fire incidents.
This joint police and fire service unit brings together a group of individuals with different backgrounds and experience that benefits all agencies in the county when fire is used as a deadly weapon. The Arson Task Force is also an effective mean of information sharing that helps to minimize arson and enhances efforts in identification of emerging patterns and trends of arson throughout the area.
The team also assists state and federal law enforcement agencies with specific cases within Etowah County.
The Etowah County Arson Task Force is a cooperative endeavor with representatives from:
- Etowah County Sheriff's Office
- State Fire Marshal Office
- District Attorney's Office

An estimated 95 percent of the traffic on the expressway will likely bypass the west end of Osage Beach Parkway in the next 10 years representing a "staggering" amount of missed opportunities.
An estimated 95 percent of the traffic on the expressway will likely bypass the west end of Osage Beach Parkway in the next 10 years representing a "staggering" amount of missed opportunities.
That's the initial conclusion of an economic impact study conducted by Zanola Company at the expense of property and business owners with economic interests along the Parkway west of Rt. KK. That could all change, the study indicates, if the configuration of the Key Largo intersection is revamped.
Phase 1 of the Zanola study was presented to the Osage Beach Board of Aldermen recently.
Information from MoDOT indicates that peak daily traffic along Highway 54 in 2001 east and south of Rt. KK (before the Parkway and Expressway were built) was more than 14,000. MoDOT studies also predict that peak traffic along the same area of the Expressway near Key Largo in eight years from now (2021) will be 20,300 and along the Expressway in general will be 34,745.
According to field observations made by Zanola, neither the current or planned intersection options will generate the predicted 2021 traffic volume along the west end of the Parkway.
"Further, it is foreseen that traffic levels will remain well below the 2001 historical levels," the study said.
Additional analysis indicates only between 1.5 and 3.5 percent of the Expressway traffic is using the west end of the Parkway ― far below MoDOT's estimates.
Zanola has conducted several economic development studies over the years including what might happen to the re-centralization of commerce and development if and when the Expressway was completed.
The research said a new highway corridor (the Expressway) would offer additional opportunities along the existing adjacent roadways, including what is today known as Osage Beach Parkway. These opportunities could include:
•Attracting new investment from within and outside the region
•Removing business barriers due to roadway crowding
•Quicker access to more areas of the city
When planned and implemented correctly, the study said, completion of the Expressway would not have a negative effect on local traffic levels. Development success was tied directly to the qualities of newly created intersections.
A business analysis of the Parkway between Rt. KK and Key Largo offers several positive attributes:
•Close proximity to the Expressway and Parkway
•An estimated one-mile-long defined area of commerce
•No encumbrance to existing development
•Visibility from both the Expressway and Parkway
•Two fully operational intersections to and from the Expressway and Parkway
"This is an attractive combination for many business segments with substantial employment opportunities," the study said. "It is expected that existing businesses would certainly benefit from…the Expressway and by the growth of neighboring new businesses."
However, it is not likely that any of the current or planned intersection configurations will allow achieving the potential business attraction on the Parkway between Key Largo and Rt. KK.
"In any of these scenarios it is likely that businesses will see Rt. KK as the only viable intersection," the study concluded. "The loss of business will create extreme peril for the viability of existing businesses along this portion of the Parkway."

Celestalon clarified in a series of tweets how the secret The Hivemind mount works.
The multi-person capability is a special perk for the Hivemind group (the 5 people you last completed it with) and the final ritual is what establishes the link. Each player in a said group increases the mount's speed by 10% (Joined Hivemind). If you completed the final puzzle with a random group, you will need to complete it again with a different group for the speed bonus.

By Starym
Well, that didn't take long! It seems you can't keep the WoW secret finders in the dark for too long, as they've already broken through and managed to obtain the mount! Warcraft Secrets and the secrets discord were hard at work the past few days and today finally bore fruit as they pushed through all the colored crystal monocles and found their way to the Court of Stars.
From there it's a whole lot of petting kittens and purring, followed by phase-shifting platforms to navigate, and then the goal itself:
While the very end of the guide hasn't been updated yet, it will be very soon so head on over to Warcraft Secrets and check out the full guide, and you might be riding this crazy thing soon as well.
And, of course, congratulations to everyone that helped out in the endeavor, it was an amazing performance by all involved!

The American Crop Protection Association has honored Ed Duskin with its Grassroots Award for his nearly 30 years of outstanding leadership in agriculture.
Duskin is executive vice president of the Dawson, Ga.-based Southern Crop Production Association, which represents the crop protection industry in 15 Southeast, Delta, and Southwest states.
The award, given in honor of former ACPA chairman Richard Urbanowski, is conferred annually on the individual who has best encouraged and supported grassroots efforts related to crop protection, pest control, and biotechnology that benefit agriculture and public health.
Duskin was presented the award at the ACPA annual meeting at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.
"Ed has been a national voice for Southern agribusiness," said Jay Vroom, ACPA president.
He was cited for initiating the industry's Ambassadors Program, which trains and targets volunteer professionals to reach out to the general public to promote a better understanding of the need for, and safe use of, crop production materials and related products. The program is now in its 25th year.
Duskin has served on a number of industry committees, including ACPA's Legislative Affairs Oversight Council since its inception 12 years ago.
"He is a tireless advocate for agribusiness on Capitol Hill," Vroom said, "and in SCPA's member states, he successfully coordinates membership and allies on key legislative and stewardship issues."
A retired career Army officer, Duskin earned the Army's highest meritorious service award and served twice as a member of the Army general staff at the Pentagon.
Other awards presented during the ACPA annual meeting included Jean Reimers, head of government affairs, Aventis Crop Science NA, Washington, D.C.; Vince Alventos, senior vice president and general counsel, Syngenta Crop Protection, Greensboro, N.C.; and Charlie Keefer, director of regulatory affairs, BASF Corporation, Research Triangle Park, N.C.
They were presented the ACPA Workhorse Award for outstanding commitment and service to the crop life sciences industry.
Richard Feulner, director of regulatory affairs for Syngenta Crop Protection, Greensboro, N.C., was presented the ACPA Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedication and service to the industry.
ACPA chairman Charles Fisher said Feulner "has been a tireless contributor on behalf of our regulatory efforts with the Environmental Protection Agency." He has chaired the association's pesticide registration committee and drinking water exposure work group, and has headed the environmental risk analysis oversight work group in dialogue with environmental and aquatic concerns.
Cindy Baker, director of regulatory and government affairs and California general manager for Gowan Co., Yuma, Ariz., was presented the ACPA's top honor, the Lea S. Hitchner Service Award.
The award is presented annually to the person demonstrating extraordinary involvement, leadership, and contributions to the crop life science industry and its association.
Baker was cited as "a driving force, interpreter, and oft times outspoken proponent of industry's needs and views, and a respected source of regulatory information for the grower community, logging many miles annually to keep grower groups apprised of developments related to the Food Quality Protection Act."
She has been a member of numerous EPA advisory groups, including the Tolerance Reassessment Advisory Committee and the Committee to Advise on Reassessment and Transition, and she has co-chaired the industry's Food Quality Protection Act Interdisciplinary Working Group.

Ratings & Reviews
This Hollywood remake of the French Pepe le Moko adheres so slavishly to its source that it utilizes stock footage from the original film, and even picked its actors on the basis of their resemblance to the French cast. Contrary to legend, star Charles Boyer never says "Come wizz me to zee Casbah"; as master criminal Pepe le Moko, he's already in the Casbah, a crook-controlled safe harbor which protects Pepe from the French authorities. Pepe's friendly enemy, police inspector Joseph Calleia, treats his pursuit of Pepe like a chess game, patiently waiting for his opponent to make that one wrong move. The ever-careful Pepe has the misfortune to fall hopelessly in love with tourist Hedy Lamarr (in her first American film). A combination of events, including the betrayal of Pepe by his castaway lover Sigrid Gurie and Hedy's tearful return to her ship when she is misinformed that Pepe is killed, lures the hero/villain into the open. Arrested by Calleia, Pepe begs for one last glance at his departing sweetheart. At this point in the French version, Pepe cheated the hangman by killing himself; this would never do in Production Code-dominated Hollywood, so Algiers contrives to have Pepe shot while trying to escape. Algiers was remade in 1948 as a musical, Casbah, starring Tony Martin. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
