INTERPOL Baku
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for Azerbaijan was opened in 1993. Its mandate is to ensure swift and efficient criminal intelligence exchange between Azerbaijan's law-enforcement agencies and their counterparts in other INTERPOL member countries.
INTERPOL Baku is made up of the following Departments:
- Analysis;
- General Crime;
- Technical Support;
- Registry;
- Supplies.
It is currently staffed by 44 people, 30 of whom are police officers from the national police force. The Head of NCB is appointed by the Minister of Internal Affairs.
INTERPOL Baku works with local law-enforcement agencies and INTERPOL member countries in localizing fugitives, missing persons and carrying out identification and record checks using INTERPOL criminal databases. INTERPOL Baku shares data with INTERPOL partners on serious offences including terrorism, drug trafficking, trafficking in human beings and the sexual exploitation of children.
Because Azerbaijan tends to be used as a transit country for drug traffickers smuggling their produce from Central Asia towards Europe, INTERPOL Baku pays special attention to the sharing of critical drug information with local law enforcement agencies and the INTERPOL community at large.
US and INTERPOL hold multilateral dialogue on nuclear smuggling prosecutions

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — Police, SWAT teams and negotiators are at a rural property where a man is believed to be holed up in a homemade bunker this morning after fatally shooting the driver of a school bus and fleeing with a 6-year-old child passenger, authorities said.
The man boarded the stopped school bus in Midland City on Tuesday afternoon and shot the driver when he refused to let the child off the bus, Dale County Sheriff Wally Olsen said. The driver later died of his wounds. His identity wasn't released.
The shooter took the child, authorities said.
County coroner Woodrow Hilboldt said the overnight standoff continues early today with tactical units, negotiators and other officers at the scene near a church. He said the suspect was believed to be in an underground shelter on his property.
"That's what has been described to me as an underground bunker. Someplace to get out of the way of a tornado," Hilboldt said.

Within a short walk of downtown Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., notable both for its pockets of offbeat shopping as well as its offbeat history, one can find funky jewellery, homemade perogies and the site of the first hanging in all the Northwest Territories. (It was in 1879; the fellow was apparently convicted of killing and eating his entire family.)
If that isn't enough to lure you out to the Fort during a visit to Edmonton (Fort Saskatchewan is 25 kilometres to the northeast), perhaps you will be moved by the city's efforts to spruce up its downtown by replacing sidewalks and adding attractive street fixtures, along with pots overflowing with flowers.
Those improvements are welcomed by business people like Tina Prins, who grew up in Fort Saskatchewan and has fond memories of its thriving downtown from her own childhood. When she opened her gift store, The Blu Poppie, she set her sights on a spot downtown, even choosing to buy the building rather than lease space.
"When I opened, a lot of people asked me why I didn't go across the highway" to one of the newer power centres, chockful of big-box stores and franchise food outlets.
"But I think that the heart of a city is in the downtown," Prins says.
Many of her neighbours are longtime downtown business owners, like the hair salon next door and the jeweller down the block. There's the iconic, small-town Chinese restaurant across the street (House of Hong), and the less iconic, newly opened Ukrainian café nearby.
The downtown is adjacent to plenty of beautiful parkland alongside the river, as well as the site of the historic North West Mounted Police fort, and the original location of another local employer, the provincial jail, which first opened in 1915.
The local museum is housed in the old warden's house, along with some historic remnants from the jail, like keys, numbered cellblock plaques and metal rings fashioned by long-ago inmates.
Lending the scene a particularly pastoral air, a flock of sheep bring their formidable lawn-mowing skills to the parkland around the reconstructed fort four afternoons a week, from Thursday to Sunday.
Thursday afternoons are an especially good time to drop by Fort Saskatchewan. You can supplement your shopping and historical tour with a little more shopping at the weekly farmer's market.
Much of the day-to-day shopping for the Fort's 18,000-plus residents takes place outside of downtown, in the big-box stores that fill the many strip malls along the highway.
Downtown you'll find a smaller selection of specialty stores, little restaurants and gift stops, like the Blu Poppie on 100th Ave., which stocks a good selection of unique gift items, jewellery, some linens, handbags, cards and specialty foods. Down the street you'll find Treasures Past and Present, which, as the name implies, focuses on new and antique collectibles.
While it strays into the realm of history, there is some shopping to be had at the town's museum, too. A little gift shop offers small souvenirs like postcards, as well as Fort Saskatchewan T-shirts that pay tribute to the community's lawn-mowing sheep, which read, "If Ewe's Eatin', Ewe's Workin'." Downtown is also a fine place to grab a bite, whether it's the buffet at House of Hong or a slice of homemade pie at Auntie Sue's.
Or visit Dovgan Ukrainian Cafe and Bakery, which started out as a coffee shop and bakery but evolved into a restaurant, too, offering a menu of substantial Eastern European fare like cabbage rolls, borscht, nalesniki and piroshki.

Novella is the sort of person you want to know. She's resourceful. She's smart (not just everyone can say they studied under Michael Pollan at Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism). She's funny. She's tenaciously devoted to her convictions. And she engages in all of this resourcefulness and intelligence and humor and conviction from an urban farm in Oakland, California, where she's been toiling the soil (and fighting the law to do so) for the past decade. Her memoir, Farm City, details her epic journey as the steward of Ghost Town Farm. This excerpt, from the book's opening chapter, gives you a taste of the concise yet evocative prose that Novella is known for. She's a great writer, in my opinion. She's a seriously righteous lady, also in my opinion.
To that end, I'd like to share a bit of Novella's newest venture with you today. Well, firstly, let me state that she actually has two new ventures going on. The first, and most paramount, is in her new role of mom to a baby girl born in late December. Secondly, and more directly relevant to this blog (and, thereby, you!) is her new book The Essential Urban Farmer, co-authored with fellow urban farmer Willow Rosenthal. A beast of a book at over 500 pages, this hefty tome details all it takes to make things live and grow in an urban setting. As the book's press release details it:
Carpenter and Rosenthal share their experiences as successful urban farmers and provide practical blueprints-complete with rich visual material-for novice and experienced growers looking to bring the principles of ethical food to the city streets. The Essential Urban Farmer guides readers from day one to market day, advising on how to find the perfect site, design a landscape, and cultivate crops.
Novella ran into, and continues to run into, a number of challenges as an urban farmer. From growing a renegade garden on an abandoned plot to butchering animals in an urban setting, it's not always sunshine and happiness in the 'hood. And that's part of what I love about her writing, and her spirit, so very much. She doesn't sugarcoat things. She gives it to you straight. And she's not afraid of controversy, or of carrying the torch a long, long time for something she feels strongly about.
Penguin Books, Novella's publisher, has graciously given me two copies, one for review and one to give away to a small measure reader. To be entered in the giveaway for a copy of The Essential Urban Farmer, simply leave a comment below. Please leave a means of reaching you, should you be the winner. I'll run the giveaway through next Wednesday, February 8th, midnight EST. Canadians, let's hear from you, too!
Winner or not, do check out Novella's blog and publications. She's a gifted, colorful, inspiring writer. She's full of gumption. She goes for the jugular. She's all I hope to be, and then some. My teenage self would have loved her, and my grown up self does, too.
UPDATE: The winner of the "The Essential Urban Farmer" is lucky #99, Valerie. Thank you so very much to everyone that entered! This book is a sure-fire winner, that much I know!

Earth : Africa : North Africa : Morocco : Middle Atlas : Fez
Morocco. Fez is also famous for its ancient walled city, which many compare to the walled city of Jerusalem.
Fez is the medieval capital of Morocco, and a great city of high Islamic civilization. Fez has the best-preserved old city in the Arab world, the sprawling, labyrinthine medina of Fes el-Bali, which is incidentally also the world's largest car-free urban zone. Transports of goods is provided by donkeys, carriages, and motorbikes.
Get in
By plane
The airport is located about 15km from the city. The best option, if you don't have too much luggage, is to take a bus (line 16), but if you're up for a local challenge after your journey, choose a taxi.
The No 16 local bus is now an "airport shuttle" that costs "2Euro/20 DH" for a single trip. It is no longer clearly marked as bus 16 but it's a new Volvo bus with a printout on the right side (Fez - Airport). It runs approximately every 30 minutes. It will take you to the train station and the ride is about 25-30 minutes. The ticket can be purchased on the bus.
If you go from Fez to the airport, the bus stop is on the left of the entrance to the train station. You can buy ticket in advance at the cash-desk at the bus stop. But allow plenty of time as departures can be erratic.
There is a fixed price for a taxi DH 120 from the airport to the medina. If you come in the night it's a good idea to book it in advance.
By train
The train station Fès-Ville. is found at the northern end if the Ville-Nouvelle. There is regular train service along the Marrakech to Oujda and Tangier to Oujda train lines.
Eight arrivals daily from Marrakech. The train takes about eight hours and fifteen minutes (although delays are frequent) and costs exactly 295/195 dirhams. (First class / second class)
The trip from Casablanca takes about 3 hours 20 to 4 hours 20 and costs 165/110 dirhams. (1st class/2nd class). High speed double decker trains are being phased in on this route in 2011.
There are five trains per day from Tangier arriving after 4.5 hours at a cost of 155/105 dirhams (1st class/2nd class).
From Rabat takes about two and a half to three hours, and costs 75-105 dirhams.
In summer, train compartments can be hot, with passengers standing everywhere when all seats are taken. While occasionally unreliable, first class compartments are generally well air-conditioned, with assigned and numbered seats.
Be aware that there are hustlers operating on trains into Fez. See the Stay Safe and Cope sections, below.
A petit taxi between the train station and Bab Boujeloud costs about 10Dh with taxi meter. Insist on using the meter, if necessary, say "khdm l-koontoor" (Work the counter) to the taxi driver.
By car
Fez is about 4 hours' drive by car from Casablanca. The stretch of toll highway from Rabat to Fez is in superb condition.
By taxi
Traveling by grand taxi (inter-city taxi), though more expensive than trains, is viable for tourists. Seats in a taxi are sold individually, in order to travel in relative comfort, you may need to purchase more than one seat. A ride from Fez to Casablanca costs approximately 60-80 dirhams per seat. Note that grand taxi fares are regulated and it is worth checking the official rates with the tourist board, as some drivers or hotels will quote inflated prices.
There are a couple of grand taxi stations:
Within Fez, ride in the petits taxis (local taxis) rarely cost more that 15-20 dirhams. However, the medina of Fes el-Bali is only accessible from a few points by car. Bab Boujeloud and nearby Place Batha are popular dropoff points, as is Place R'cif; for parking there is spaces at Ain Zleten on the northeast edge of the medina. Another openair parking is situated near Hotel Batha (price 20 Dhs / day). If you stay longer than 1 day don't pay in advance.
By bus
The old bus terminal (Gare Routière. ) is just outside the old city on the north side, near the Ain Zleten entrance to the medina and Bab Boujloud place. Grands taxis (inter-city taxis) can also be obtained here.
The CTM terminal (gare CTM. ) is in place Allal el-Fassi in the Atlas neighborhood of the ville nouvelle, 7 km from the medina, but has taxi stands nearby.
While the gare routière covers more routes more cheaply, many travelers prefer CTM for its reliability and cleanliness. Most CTM buses leaving Fes, anyway, start from the gare routière and make a stop in the gare CTM after 30min in the town traffic. CTM bus coming into Fes, at the contrary, will leave you at the gare CTM.
Get around
There are some basic landmarks that you can use to get around, and there is a path network marked by signs perched on walls, although these can be hard to locate at times. These signs have a 8-point star shape which will guide you between the main places in the medina. If you are lost you only have to find one of these signs and follow it in any direction until you arrive to a map or a known place. You may also find it useful to carry a compass, as the narrow, built-up streets can block the view of landmarks and be disorienting. Alternatively, just keep heading downhill and you will eventually get to a gate. The main street is the Talaa Kbira, which runs from Bab Boujeloud. to the Kairouine. mosque in the heart of the medina. The Talaa Sghira also begins at Bab Boujeloud and eventually merges back into the Talaa Kbira. Once you get into the narrow, windy heart of the medina, you can also find your way out again by constantly heading downhill, which will eventually lead to the Place R'cif. , a dropoff for buses and taxis, where you can get a petit taxi out of the medina.
For more detailed tours and directions, look for the book Fez from Bab to Bab (Hammad Berrada). It has a complete map of the medina and several well-described walking tours. It can be found in most bookshops, both on the Talaa Sghira or at the large bookstore on the Avenue Hassan II in the ville nouvelle. However, be discreet taking out your map or you will have many offers from false guides!
Just walking around, you will see a great deal!
Get a shave in the medina, nowhere is it cheaper than here, and they really pay attention, even trimming your hair.
In the midst of the maze-like medina are the colorful leather-dying pits. Any number of young boys will offer to guide you to them: just listen for "you want to see the tanneries?" The tour is free (though it is appropriate to offer 1-5 dirhams to your "guide"). There is no chance of getting to see the tanneries by yourself, instead, be prepared for physical abuse for even trying! However, just 10m left of the entrance is a leather shop that offers views to the tannery free of charge and you can see it all from the balcony. Expect to be pressured into buying goods from the shop in return.
It is possible to get into the tannery itself, hang around near the entrance until someone offers to take you in for 10 dirham. He will get you past the entrance and then you can wander in amongst the workers. A word of advice...wear closed shoes and maybe bring a mint leaf to sniff if you have a weak stomach.
Bou Inania madersa: a breathtaking 14th-century religious college. The best example of Islamic architecture a non-Muslim can see in Fez, with wooden walls elaborately carved with geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy, and a beautiful minaret. In the courtyard there is a portico with a still-functioning mosque, separated by the rest of the courtyard by a small moat.
The view from the hills surrounding the old city is spectacular- there are two fortresses overlooking the old city, the Borj Nord which contains an armaments museum, and the Borj Sud, which is being developed for tourism.
The Merenid Tombs next to the Merenid Hotel, provide excellent panoramic views over the medina and the wider city, as well as the olive tree lined hills surrounding the city, and sanctuary from the bustle of the rest of the city. Beware of the odd opportunistic tout.
The Sofitel Palais Jamai terrace has an incredible view over the medina if you are willing to pay 30 dirhams for a glass of tea in order to access it. This is particularly worthwhile if you can time your visit to coincide with the call to prayer, as you can hear multiple minarets from the terrace.
Entrance to the Moulay Idriss II shrine, the tomb of Fez's founder, is limited to Muslims, but the view from just outside its doors is still well-worth hunting down. The mosque is just off the Talaa Kbira near the Souk Attarine.
Similarly, the Qaraouyine library and mosque and the al-Tijani mosque have beautifully decorated exteriors and worth a visit even by those who cannot enter them, which includes all foreigners considered to be non-Muslim.
One of the most fascinating activities to do in Fez is a trip in the medina (Old City). The medina is so complex to navigate that sometimes it's easier to simply lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of the various markets, and find your way out once you have had enough of all the sights, sounds, and smells that will overwhelm your senses. You will eventually find your way out via lots of dried fruit, leather goods, ceramics, textiles and food stalls!
Make sure you find an opportunity to escape from the bustle of the streets and see the medina from one of its rooftops - some shops and restaurants have rooftop terraces (see the food section below for some useful tips). The views are particularly spectacular during sunset and after dark.
There are several well-marked trails through the city: follow the green (Andalusian palaces and gardens), orange (walls and fortifications), or blue signs and you won't get lost in all the narrow twisting streets.
As a rough guide, you can expect to pay:
If you're interested in the cobalt-blue ceramic, you might go to the potteries where they make it. It's really cool to see how they model the clay into a tagine in 45 seconds. From Bab el-Ftouh, it's a 5 dirham taxi. Ask the driver to take you to "Les potteries de Fez". There're 2 big "factories", both show you the whole process if you want or you could just see the exhibition (and buy). Bargain really hard, prices seem to be fixed, but they are not at all!
The markets near the 'main' gate of Bab Boujeloud (near to Hotel Cascades) are full of yummy food. It is worth just wandering through them, buying random bits of food. Street food is very cheap and is often safe. Restaurants, even cheap ones, will often be up to twice the cost of street food, and the quality can be the same. In the medina is difficult to find cheap food other than in the Bab Boujeloud area. There are only a very few tourist restaurants where you will get ripped off and some food stalls down in the food market near the R'cif place.
Ville Nouvelle
Almost all drinking establishments in Fez are hotel bars. The rest are local bars that women and anyone without a good command of Arabic might be uncomfortable entering. In bars of either type, prostitutes are frequent but mostly ignore western travellers. Fes is a much more traditional town than Casablanca or Marrakesh, and it is technically illegal to drink in public. Purchasing alcohol or seeming intoxicated are sure to draw stern looks from passersby.
Most visitors to Fez will want to stay in the medina as the main tourist sights are located there, and the new town is quite a distance from the medina so you will be relying on taxis to take you in and out every day
There are a growing number of beautiful, comfortable guest-houses ("riads") in the medina of Fes el-Bali. They are expensive by Moroccan standards but offer luxury for about the price of a North American chain hotel. Some Moroccan proprietors prey on Westerners' culture-shock to direct business toward favored or overpriced services, so it is worth doing your research before going.
Stay safe
Fez is safe, but crowded. Take standard precautions regarding wallet, purse, etc. If you hear "Belek! Belek!" behind you, stand aside because a heavily-laden donkey is bearing down on you! Appear to know where you are going, even if you don't, or you will get offers from false guides. False guides are not dangerous but they can be exasperatingly tenacious. Best technique is to not even acknowledge their presence. That is rude and they won't be pleased, but it is better than to have them walk with you for half an hour. If you have to ask directions ask to someone that is obviously busy in his own business and try to appear as sure as you can of the way you are going ("This way to R'cif, right?"). Getting caught with a faux guide will cost you, but it will cost the faux guide more: they can receive up to 2 days imprisonment if they get caught. Cops are often in plain clothes, so be wary! A useful strategy with false guides is to say all the lines they have been taught before they have said them to show you know what you are doing; they all say the same thing so just learn it and repeat.
You should also beware of hustlers (aka con-artists); Fez has a far larger number of them than almost everywhere else and they use more sophisticated techniques. An example of a prominent scam occurs where you come into Fez by train and someone talks to you saying he is coming to visit his relatives, and is actually a respectable outsider (e.g. an owner of a hotel). He will then ask you to come eat with his relatives and when you get there they will spend most of the time trying to suggest accommodation, offering you tours where they gain commission from all the (especially Carpet) shops, and even organize expensive desert excursions that are actually just you driving in circles just outside the city for three days.
Beware of people at the train/bus station (even the bus driver) who introduce you to their "cousins" or "brothers," trying to involve you in some sort of carpet-selling scam, and especially refrain from handing over your credit card in such situations. There are many other scams and annoyances trying to get you into a shop/restaurant/hotel with various degrees of lying in the stories people make up. If in doubt, be independent and look for yourself e.g. whether the hotel you want to go to is indeed closed or under construction.
This is unfortunately one of the sad things about Morocco, that you get to distrust every one, even those people who are genuinely friendly and hospitable, because sometimes this is only a facade. Generally, if someone approaches you, he is a thief. If you approach someone, he may not be a thief.
For a North American traveller, Fez requires a real change of outlook or it will be a very high-stress trip! Shopkeepers and guides are very assertive and you will have to get used to saying "no" a lot. On the other hand, they can be genuinely warm and friendly even while trying to sell you something, an idea that is pretty alien to North Americans where it is assumed that a business relationship is the opposite of sincerity!
Non-Muslims are not allowed to visit mosques, although they can visit the medersas (religious schools).
Bargaining is a way of life that has survived for centuries, and shows no sign of changing. Moroccans even bargain among each other for everything except perhaps their utilities. Don't believe anyone (and you will hear it all the time) who tells you prices are being "regulated". Every other souk claims to be a "Government Regulated Co-op".
There is a single, genuine government-regulated fixed price shop in the Ville Nouvelle where all prices are posted, the goods are of decent (if not amazing) quality, and the single bored cashier will just stare incredulously at you if you attempt to bargain with him. Ask any hotel manager or petit taxi driver to take you to the "Artisana." All products sold in Artisanas come directly from the artists who made the products.
Get outMeknes and then a couple of 'collective' taxis to the picturesque historic town of Moulay Idriss then on from there to Volubilis. This is approx a 1/4 of the price of the organised tours and provides far more opportunity for adventure.
Alternatively, Meknes itself is worth a visit, if only due to its calmer and less crowded medina, which has ample shopping opportunities.
From the Gare Routière, you can leave By bus for almost any direction in North Morocco. Buses are usually crappy (old, rusty, and without lights), with the exception of CTM company, which offers European-quality service, for a double price then the Moroccan standard, but usually including the 5-10Dh required for transporting luggage (malletas), and not being overcrowded. People use to come to the station in the morning to book their ticket for the afternoon or the day after, and collecting stickers for luggage, so beware about showing up at the last minute and not finding place.
At the station, touts will try to sell you tickets for Chefchaouen if you look like a western tourist coming for smoke. Avoid them.
You can leave Fes by train in the direction of Tangier (~5 hrs; 97dh/145dh) or towards Marrakech (~7 hrs; 180dh/276dh; passing by Rabat and Casablanca).

Over 200 years of proud American history is woven throughout the patriotic tapestry of Jefferson City. In Missouri's capital city, one can find celebrated architecture, stories of yesteryear told through comprehensive exhibits and monuments to both legendary events and notable historical figures.
The art of state government
Murals, paintings, statuary, fountains and more await visitors to Missouri's State Capitol — the art museum that's not really an art museum. Ranked No. 1 in the nation by USA Today as the capitol building with the most beautiful interior, Missouri's Capitol covers three acres in downtown Jefferson City. A wealth of artwork fills and surrounds the classic, domed building.
Best known is Thomas Hart Benton's mural — the colorful, controversial "A Social History of the State of Missouri," wrapping around all four walls of the House Lounge. Visitors on a guided (or self-guided) tour also will wander past busts of famous Missourians, paintings, carvings, statuary, stained glass and other artwork accumulated since the Capitol's completion in 1917. Outside, on the Capitol grounds, they will find a heroic 13-ft. statue of Thomas Jefferson, the Fountain of Centaurs, bronze figures symbolizing the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and much more, all within easy walking distance.
Continuing on with a self-guided walking tour of Jefferson City's rich and storied downtown area, there are other sites that are worth visiting or exploring, including the Governor's Mansion, Carnahan Memorial Garden, Cole County Historical Museum, Supreme Court Building, Lewis and Clark Monument at the Katy Trailhead Plaza and the Jefferson Landing State Historic Site.
For information about these historical sites or for more about events and other attractions in and around Jefferson City, contact the Convention and Visitors Bureau at 800-769-4183. You can also visit the CVB online at VisitJeffersonCity.com or at the Bureau's Facebook and Twitter pages.
Missouri State Pen Posts Record-Breaking Season in 2012; MSP Museum to open in 2013
In 2012, the historic MSP hit another record-breaking mark in tour attendance with a final figure of 19,121 visitors. The prison's History Tours were again the most popular tour option, accounting for more than half of the record tour attendance. The guided history tour takes visitors through the 176-year old decommissioned prison that once held gangster "Pretty Boy" Floyd, boxing champion Sonny Liston and assassin James Earl Ray.
The MSP's Ghost Tours were bolstered in 2012 by a featured spot on SyFy's Ghost Hunters. The Ghost Tours and the Ghost Hunts have continued to show significant growth in popularity due to an ever-increasing interest and intrigue in the paranormal.
The ghost-themed tours accounted for 25% of the total visits to the prison in 2012 and are up 5% from 2011. Since the tours first began in 2009, more than 50,000 total visitors have toured this historic prison. The Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau recently announced that a Missouri State Penitentiary Prison Museum will open in the spring of 2013. This museum will be located on the second floor of the building that houses the CVB's office at 100 E. High Street.
The MSP Prison Museum will allow visitors to learn even more about the prison's past through historical exhibits and artifacts. MSP History Tours and Ghost Tours begin again in the spring of 2013. For more information about the Missouri State Penitentiary or Pen Tours, please visit MissouriPenTours.com, call 866-998-6998 or email email@example.com.
Museum After Hours
If you'd like to walk through the Missouri State Museum at night or if you work during the day and can't visit during normal hours, benefit from the fun and convenience of free monthly "Museum After Hours" events. During these events, the Museum will be open for special evening hours from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. Special interpretive programs will also be offered at 7 p.m. during these nights. These interpretive programs will occur in the Museum classroom located in the East Wing History Hall.
Upcoming interpretive program topics will include presentations on the Meskers and the Iron Works (Jan. 2), "A Fight For Freedom and Union - African-American Response to the Civil War in Missouri" (Feb. 6) and "Vincent Marmaduke - The Confederacy's James Bond" (March 6). Evening entry to the Museum for all after-hours events will be through the carriage entrance on the south side of the Capitol, underneath the grand staircase.
The Missouri State Museum, which is part of the Missouri State Park system, is located on the first floor of the Missouri State Capitol. For more information, contact the Museum at 573-751-2854.

10 Bartlett pears
5 cups water
2 cups sugar
3 Tazo Vanilla Rooibos tea bags
Prep 3 quart jars. Peel, core and halve the pears. If you'd like, float them in water mixed with Fruit Fresh or lemon juice, to help retain their color. Pack them into the jars. Meanwhile, bring the sugar, tea bags and water to a rolling boil. Do not let it reduce. Pour the hot syrup into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Run a knife or a jar scraper to dislodge any bubbles while turning the jar slightly. Seal. Process in a hot water bath for 25 minutes.
Note: This recipe yields a bit more syrup than you will probably need. I scaled it this way because while my 10 pears fit into 3 quart jars, you might have some leftover. There should be enough syrup leftover to can a pint of extra pears if need be.
Note: A great source for canning information is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here is a bunch of other canning books and equipment I find useful.
