On Tap Today: Broods at the Rave
Well, the band Flight of the Conchords at the center of the cult HBO comedy series didn't exactly put New Zealand music on the map (songs with titles like "The Most Beautiful Girl (in the Room)" are kind of destined for failure, aren't they?) But Lorde definitely did, and that opens up doors for other associated acts from her homeland to break out--groups like Broods.
Consisting of the Nott siblings Caleb and Georgia, the electronic pop duo is reminiscent of Lorde's style, and that makes sense--the two acts share a producer in Joel Little. »Read Full Blog Post

All hail Marco Fabian. The Chivas Guadalajara star put on the best show of any player in this year's CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday night, scoring three and crating another as the Goats demolished W Connection 4-0 to grab their first points of the competition.
The first half wasn't especially bright for Chivas. While they did dominate possession, they struggled to generate chances. Erick 'Cubo' Torres hit the bar, but there weren't many other chances of note.
That changed in the second half when Jan-Michael Williams failed to push a Rafael Marquez Lugo shot far enough away. It fell right in front of goal, where Fabian was able to get to it and knock it home to get the Goats on the scoreboard in the 53rd minute.
Fabian helped Carlos Fierreo get his goal in the 64th minute when he ripped a shot that Williams couldn't quite handle. Eventually, the ball fell to Fierreo, who was able to bury his shot from close range and Chivas were 2-0 up.
Marquez Lugo and Torres helped Fabian get his second four minute later.The play started with a clever ball from Marquez Lugo for Torres, who got the ball to Fabian for the finish that put Chivas in firm control at 3-0.
In stoppage time, Fabian completed his hatt rick when he was played in on goal by Luis Morales. Fabian simply had to round Williams and finish into the empty net and his marvelous night was complete.
The win was vital for Chivas, who have struggled this season in Liga MX and lost their Champions League opener to Xelaju last week. Now they at least have three points, which is good for second place, and they get to host Xelaju the next time the two teams square off.

Softball grabs six for the 2013 season
The JU softball team continued to ride its 2011 wave of success by signing six players for the 2013 season.
The new Dolphin faces for next season will be pitchers Taylor Rossman (Tallahassee, FL), Cecile Gómez (Lake City, FL), Victoria Brown (Plano, TX), and position players Sable Lee (Oviedo, FL), Emily Sanchez (Palmdale, CA), and Lauren Burchak (Woodinville, WA).
"We are excited for such a versatile and talented class for the 2013 season," said head coach Ali Higgs. "There is a good mix of athletes from all over the country that I feel can come in and fight for a starting position. We have a very good class of seniors graduating this year and I feel that these six players have the ability to step right in and make an impact."
Rossman, a pitcher at Florida High, had 206 strikeouts, a 0.81 era, and a 19-3 record as a junior last year. Her performance earned her first team all-state honors and team MVP.
"Taylor should make an immediate impact for us on the mound," said Higgs. "She has great spins and deceptive movement. I'm excited to see what Taylor can do in our conference her freshman year."
Gómez both pitched and played first base for Fort White High School. In a junior year that saw her named to the Gainesville Sun all-area big school softball first team, Gómez batted .391 and had a 0.84 era and 105 strikeouts in just 58 innings.
"Cecile brings yet another look to our pitching staff," said Higgs. "She moves the ball and her perfectionist mentality helps her to pinpoint her locations. Gómez will also fight to hit into our lineup with her versatility giving us many options come game day."
Brown, a senior at Plano West High School, pitches and plays first base. Last year she batted an impressive .486 with a .875 slugging percentage and dominated from the mound with 213 strikeouts. Her performance netted her all-district and academic all-district honors.
"To call her a utility player would be an understatement," said Higgs. "She can pitch, hit, and play the outfield. Victoria will definitely see time on the mound, adding more of a power pitcher aspect to our staff."
Lee is entering her final season as a centerfielder at Oviedo High School. She has started since her freshman year being named to the all-conference second team as a junior. In addition to playing softball, Lee has been a member of the varsity basketball and golf teams.
"Sable's speed and athleticism will ensure a seamless transition in replacing senior Kayla Ouellet in centerfield, "said Higgs. "Her competitive nature will be invaluable for our offense."
Emily Sanchez is a first base power hitter for Highland High School. As a junior, she led the league in homeruns with 13, batting average at .538, and slugging percentage at 1.138. The impressive season statistics led Sanchez to be named the Offensive Player of the Year and Golden League champion for the second year in a row.
"We expect Emily Sanchez to see playing time at the corners for us next year," said Higgs. "Her biggest asset is her bat. She is a poised hitter who will add power and consistency to our lineup."
Burchak is entering her final season at Woodinville High School as a first baseman. In her junior season she batted .405 with 10 home runs and a .857 slugging percentage. Her performance led to the silver bat award.
"We are looking for Burchak to come in and hit her way into our lineup," said Higgs. "She has great presence and is a long ball threat in the box. I can also see her taking on a leadership role as a freshman."
The 2012 Dolphins will kick off their campaign to repeat as conference champions Feb. 10 when they take on Buffalo in the three day opening weekend tournament in Jacksonville.

Black Friday Deals for Filmmakers
For those of you in America, happy Thanksgiving/Black Friday. In the spirit of retailers slashing prices to engender consumer stampedes, I went searching for Black Friday deals specific to filmmakers. I discovered, however, that most pro camera stores don't participate in such an event, which is apparently constrained to the consumer world. So instead, here are some deals that might apply to filmmakers, at least on the low end (for example, you won't see someone like RED slashing prices on a $25k camcorder).
If you're putting together an editing PC (or Hackintosh), NewEgg has a whole list of Black Friday deals on computer components like graphics cards, hard drives, etc.
If you're interested in Google TV, the Sony NSZ-GT1 Internet TV Blu-ray Player with integrated gTV is $100 off ($299.99 with free shipping) at SonyStyle.
While it's not Black Friday-specific, B&H Photo has a number of holiday specials on camcorders, tripods, and more, including the Canon Rebel T2i for $699 (you have to add it to the cart to see the discount price).
Most Black Friday deals are to be had in person at brick-and-mortar stores, however, so Gizmodo has you covered with an exhaustive list of deals if you're looking to flex your purchasing power at your local megastore.
Amazon has a number of video-specific deals for the holiday, including a 2TB hard drive for 66% off (note that it's 5900 RPM, which is fine for storing backups, but is not the best for HD editing) as well as a 240Hz 1080p HDTV for 50% off:
More on Amazon's Black Friday page, and even more specifically their Camera & Photo Black Friday page.
However, while 50% off deals are great, I'm finding as a poor independent filmmaker that I'm managing to save 100% on the stuff I already own! It's amazing.
Finally, while it's not Black Friday-specific, Tony at NextWaveDV.com let me know they're offering a discount to NoFilmSchool readers on their HDSLR training videos. Here's episode two of the 12-episode series, which retails for $19.99:
Discount code: nofilmschool
Savings: 20% off any order
Link: store.nextwavedv.com
If you've found any good deals on filmmaking equipment for this "special" holiday, please share in the comments. Let's boost that Consumer Confidence Index!
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Daniel Reed on 11.25.10 @ 8:18PM
Has anyone found deals on any of the components listed under NFS' guide to building a Hackintosh? I'm really interested in taking a project like that on, and finding good deals on the required components would give me a shove in the right direction.

BH is owned by jews, and everyone knows jews are stingy, so if anything they're just looking to move old product.
I'd rather leave this comment than your response to my "censorship." It's not about censorship, it's simply about leaving comments that add to the conversation. I'm pretty sure every store wants to move old AND new product. And the T2i isn't old.

"kiki" – That was completely inappropriate, and also ignorant.

"This was the best cabin rental we have ever experienced!! Fabulous view, great accommodations and everything needed to make for a cozy home away from home.

"The cabin was beyond our expectations! Beautiful view and the layout of the cabin was perfect -- all the amenities. Everything was perfect -- we loved our stay. The setting was very much like home. The environment was peaceful and relaxing -- very isolated and private. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience for our family." -- Cande Gutierrez, Chandler, AZ
"Your home is truly a retreat in Paradise. It is far enough from town to have the comfort of seclusion, yet close enough to jump in the car for a quick run to the grocery. We very much appreciated that our 2 dogs were as welcomed into your home as we were. Their favorite spot in the house was laying in front of the fireplace. Ours was sitting on the couch and basking in the glorious picture window view. I've never before stayed in a rental where I felt as comfortable as I did at Elk Ridge Retreat. Your home is so warm and inviting. It was the perfect holiday for us. We will be back." -- Susan de Christofaro, Los Angeles, CA

As soon as the news broke about former Richmond police chief Bryan Norwood stepping down, NBC 12 went to the community to find out how you're reacting and there seems to be some strong opinions.
News of the police chief's sudden departure is hitting a lot of people pretty hard.
"I don't know what's wrong with him," Carrie Spruill said regarding Mayor Dwight Jones' announcement.
"I want my chief back," she added.
There were similar sentiments spread throughout Richmond.
"He did do a lot for this city," said Calvin Faulk.
Tuesday, Mayor Jones made it clear it's time for change in the city's police department. Shortly after, faith leaders made their stance clear too.
"I look at his genuine care and concern for the citizens. I mean, I've seen that in action myself," said Pastor Butch Johnson of the Northside Outreach Center.
At a recent rally, Norwood took to the streets alongside faith leaders in a show of unity.
"We're here to help this community," Norwood told the crowd.
Larry Miles is pastor of Fresh Anointing Cathedral, the site of another rally Tuesday night, originally planned to show support for Norwood.
"I don't understand all of the politics. I wanted him to keep the chief," Mile said.
He points to reduced crime and a personable attitude that made the former chief stand out.
"People do that when they come into second terms. They pick their own administrative teams on who they think will work best with him and we'll respect that. We don't have to agree with it but we definitely will respect it," Miles said.
But Spruill isn't offering that same friendly gesture.
"We had a good chief. We had one of the best chiefs anyone could think of…everybody wanted him to stay here," she said.
The rally with faith leaders will still take place Tuesday evening at 6:30 at Fresh Anointing Cathedral. Organizers say it's to still show their support for the former police chief as well as the new one.
Faith leaders say they've scheduled a meeting with Mayor Jones next week to tell him how well Norwood worked with the religious community and how they would like to see those same traits in the new chief.

It's not always the biggest guy who is the strongest, the short girl might be a great basketball player, and the kid with the funny clothes and accent might just turn out to be a best friend.
This was the message brought to Cooperstown elementary students during two performances of "Diversity Circus" on Friday. The show was performed at the district to further reinforce its character education program, and more specifically explain in an engaging way what the Dignity for All Students Act truly means, according to Christine McBrearty-Hulse, the elementary counselor.
McBrearty-Hulse said teachers were asked to educate students about the word "diversity" before having students see the traveling performance from Michigan. She said each month students learn about a character trait — the word for March was respect, and the word for April is dignity.
"With the recent 'Dignity for All' regulations from New York state, this program addresses the topic head on," she said. "It is important to educate students early about the meaning of diversity more so than just a person's size, shape and skin color."
McBrearty-Hulse said the concept of diversity means to accept and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, exploring those differences in a safe positive and nurturing environment and understanding each other and not treating people unfairly on their differences, she added.
According to the show's creator, Doug Scheer, learning to accept others is the ultimate form of bully-proofing. Living in the metropolitan Detroit area, home of the largest population of Arab Americans in the U.S., Doug and his wife, Heidi, wanted their sons to learn to be fair to everyone and to treat others the way they wanted to be treated.
"We wanted them to understand that people who are different from them — people who don't look or act like they do — have the same feelings inside. We wanted them to know that it's okay to be different and that different isn't bad. We have more than a passing interest in helping kids understand this — our son Gannon is different. Gannon, 11, has PDD-NOS (one of the five autism spectrum disorders)," wrote Doug and Heidi in the "Autism Spectrum Quarterly" spring 2012 publication.

Samoan International, David Lemi is withdrawn after illness has ruled him out of the match 23. Danny Cipriani, who has completed his rehabilitation programme after a fractured fibula sustained against Northampton on the 4th October, is named in his place.
Limited tickets for London Wasps v Leicester Tigers at Adams Park remain. Supporters can book online HERE until midday Sunday and colect from Ticket Office 2 on the day.
Tickets wll be on sale at Adams Park on the day, due to the demand for this game and to avoid disappointment it is recommended supporters book in advance. .
Wasps scored two fine tries and had limited the visitors to five penalties from the boot of Toby Flood, before a last-minute converted try from Jordan Crane grabbed the bonus point which ensured that the visitors hold on to fourth place in the Premiership, one point ahead of Wasps.
Leicester posed the first serious attacking threat, in the third minute, when fullback Scott Hamilton came into the line and made 30 metres before finding Lewis Moody in support, near the Wasps 22. The Wasps defence managed to get back, but conceded a penalty, which Tigers kicked to the corner. Further pressure followed, before Wasps won a turnover and cleared deep into the Tigers 22. Paul Sackey rose to gather Hamilton's clearance kick, and Tigers were penalised, just inside the Wasps half. Joe Simpson, whose performance earned him another MOTM Award, took a quick tap and made good ground before releasing Paul Sackey just outside the 22. He came infield, then went outside the defence to go over near the corner for a superb try.
Tigers responded with a Toby Flood penalty, two minutes later, after the Wasps defence was caught outside near its 22. They then close, after the lively Ben Youngs darted through a gap to find his way deep into the 22, but the movement ended with a knock on. Leicester continued to apply the pressure for several minutes, and were eventually rewarded with a penalty just inside the Wasps 22, and Flood landed a straightforward kick to put his side 6-5 ahead after 16 minutes of play.
The Leicester scrum then applied the pressure at a scrum around 10 metres inside their own half. They launched a shove which sent Wasps back before conceding an inevitable penalty, however Flood lost his footing in his run-up and sent his kick wide from 45 metres. The fly half had another chance, three minutes later, when Wasps were again penalised at scrum on almost the identical spot and this time he made no mistake to stretch the lead to 9-5.
Wasps were soon back within a point, when Walder landed a penalty from in front of the posts, just after he split the defence with a jinking break, but lost his footing as he tried to beat the final defender a few metres short of the line.
It was Leicester who made the next attack, when Flood gathered a loose ball near his ten metre line and accelerated through a gap before kicking ahead for Johne Murphy to chase - but the ball was too far ahead of him.
Having been under pressure for some time the Wasps pack responded well by turning a Leicester scrum through 90 degrees, to the delight of the home crowd. But the cheers turned to jeers when the referee penalised Wasps before they'd put the ball in to the next scrum.
Mark Van Gisbergen then did well under extreme pressure, when he gathered a rolling ball and evaded the oncoming attackers to clear well from his in-goal area. Wasps were immediately penalised, for entering the breakdown from the side, and Flood's kick from near the touchline just crept over to restore the four point advantage with seven minutes left before the break.
Wasps were then gifted a good attacking position when Flood made a mess of a clearance from near his own line and Murphy gathered to run the ball into touch a few yards from the corner. Tigers knocked on at the lineout and Wasps made the most of the mistake as they won quick ball from the scrum and Walder's beautiful half-break and pass sent Steve Kefu over between the posts to put his side back in front. Walder added the extra points, to make it 15-12. A minute later a quick dart by Simpson led to a penalty and Walder's 45 metre kick stretched the lead to six points.
In the final minute of the half, Van Gisbergen kicked towards the corner and the Leicester defence scrambled the ball into touch, with Tom Varndell breathing down their necks. There was just time for the lineout, but Wasps knocked on and the whistle blew, to end an absorbing 40 minutes of rugby.
The second half began with another off-par kick from Flood, as the ball barely crossed halfway. A lightning burst from Simpson from another quick penalty posed the first attacking threat of the half, but Kefu was unable to hold a pass with an excellent position developing. A powerful burst by Dan Ward-Smith then set up another penalty chance for Walder, who was on target from 25 metres, just to the right of the posts to make it 21-12 nine minutes after the restart.
Two minutes later, Flood sent a long-range penalty just wide of the posts. A superb tackle and turnover by Ward-Smith gave Tom Varndell the chance to fly hack towards the Tigers line, but he couldn't reach the ball before it went dead.
When Leicester found their way into the Wasps half, they created on overlap on the left, but Anthony Allen lost his footing as he tried to step inside Van Gisbergen and an excellent opportunity was lost.
Wasps then made their first substitutions of the afternoon, with Ben Jacobs and Dan Leo replacing Kefu and Richard Birkett.
After a series of phases by Leicester in which the Wasps defence sent them back 20 metres, Jacobs snatched a loose ball and kicked downfield. Pressure from the chasers forced a penalty, inside the Leicester 22 to the right of the posts, and Walder made no mistake to stretch the lead to 12 points as the game entered its final quarter.
Flood had an immediate chance to narrow the gap, with a penalty from near halfway, and his well struck kick made it 24-15. Two minutes later, he missed a much easier opportunity to bring his side right back into the game.
With less than ten minutes to go, a thunderous hit by Simon Shaw on Alesana Tuilagi turned over Leicester possession in midfield and some sevens-style handling set up another Wasps attack down the left.
Will Matthews replaced John Hart, with under two minutes left on the clock, as Leicester pressed for a score which would bring them a bonus point. After two reset five-metre scrums, they finally forced their way over for a Jordan Crane try, which Aaron Mauger converted with a drop kick, but there was not time for the restart and Wasps ended 24-22 victors in front a buzzing home crowd.
Wasps are back at Adams Park next Saturday, for the resumption of the Amlin Challenge Cup, when they take on pool leaders Bayonne. Be sure to join us for this festive clash - secure your seat online here or call 0844 225 2990.

A charming story about a rose and her friends from the garden celebrating summertime and Rosie's birthday. Deals with friendships, new and old.
It all started with a dancing green bean girl. In 2011, I began photographing vegetable people made from produce grown in my garden. This year I've branched out into photographing flowers.
I photographed most everything in this book on my kitchen table using natural light streaming in from a large kitchen window.
As I created these characters, the story seemed to write itself. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed telling the story of Rosie and her friends.
Marianne C. Wille
19 May 2012
Review of Playing With Vegetables Series : 2011
"Marianne is playing with her food; she's allowed, she grew it, and a wonderful happy celebration of summer it is to have these wonderful vegetable people running and jumping in front of your eyes. Marianne is an artist who works with yarn and textiles, her purses are a joy as is her blog, WilleWorks."

The state Game, Fish and Parks Department is conducting an experiment to evaluate river otter habitat in south-central South Dakota by releasing a few otters in the area.
The river otter is listed by the state as a threatened species.
Wildlife officials have evaluated habitat and searched for evidence of river otters in many of South Dakota's streams and rivers. But no otters have been detected outside their known range, which is primarily east of the James River.
The study will trap up to five otters from South Dakota's population, implant each one with a radio transmitter and then release them on state land along the Little White River. The otters will be monitored to determine the success of the release, the habitats they use and the food they eat.

Magnetized Review
During your first few minutes with Magnetized, you could be forgiven for thinking that it is going to be a basic puzzler with a single mechanic. Instead, the developer Rocky Hong slowly introduces three different spins on the maze-navigating formula which layer to produce something both addictive and dynamic. As with all time-gobbling puzzlers, the core of Magnetized is simple. You must guide a small block through a colourful maze, ideally picking up three collectibles en route. The…Watch The Video Review
Lost Toys Review
Sooner or later, we are going to have to abandon the idea that wooden toys will be viewed by modern kids as pieces of art. While the sight of our once-beloved spinning top may still tug some sentimental heartstrings, the reality is that - these days at least - plastic and pixels are what kids want. Perhaps this is what Barking Mice Studio's new puzzle game Lost Toys is commenting upon. Each stage of this block-puzzler presents the charred and blackened husk of a toy, twisted out of sh…Watch The Video Review
LYNE Review
One of the keys to a good puzzle game is creating something that feels new, but also has an air of familiarity. It is a feat rooted in simple and intuitive design, a form which conjures the thought that, surely, someone must have had the idea already. Thomas Bowker's LYNE does exactly this. And, no matter how hard we wrack our brains, we can't think of another game that does what it does. Or, at least, none that do it as well. As the name suggests, the simple goal of LYNE is to…Watch The Video Review

Feed Me Oil 2 Review
Holy Water Games's Feed Me Oil was a charming fluid dynamics puzzler that was conceptually simple but mechanically challenging. Now, the team has returned with Feed Me Oil 2, a title that manages to build on its predecessor with the simple addition of water. The goal in Feed Me Oil 2 is to transport oil from a nozzle to a creature's gaping maw. The black liquid spills from its spout with very little force however, so it is up to gravity, and a selection of well-placed tools,…Watch The Video Review
Cut the Rope 2 Review
It's taken Om Nom four games to escape the confines of his various cardboard prisons, but Cut the Rope 2 finally sees him out in the wild, and making new friends. These extra characters and their unique abilities help to define Cut the Rope 2 as more ambitious puzzler with a slightly broader scope. However, the additional gameplay permutations - and new in-app purchase system - also run the risk of diluting the simple but potent formula which made the original game so compelling.

Coaster Crazy Deluxe Review
You'd expect the creators of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to be able to cook up a decent coaster-based game for the iPhone. Well, that's exactly what Frontier Developments accomplished last year with Coaster Crazy, a free-to-play rollercoaster creation game based around tailoring individual coasters to their patron's needs. Now a year later, the free-to-play aspects have been removed, new challenges have been added, and two whole new areas have been bolted on. As a result, we thought we'd t…Watch The Video Review

Long-time fans of AppSpy should know of our love for puzzle games. Still, when a developer takes a simple idea such as connecting together numbers and circles by lines, then realises it with the level of style evident in Strand, it's difficult not to take note. Each board in the game features a group of circles. These circles are identified by a number, which identifies how many connections need to be attached to it.

Don't Shoot Yourself! Review
"Don't shoot yourself!" Once just sensible piece of advice, this statement is now the title of an iOS game. This game has a simple premise: survive long enough to shoot 100 bullets. How hard can that be? As you might expect, it's tougher than it sounds. You take control of a small arrow which finds itself trapped inside a number of oddly-shaped prisons. Normally this solitude would be good for such activities as introspection and self-discovery. But the arrow has a problem…Watch The Video Review

A very wet 2013 has some people worried about the prospects for flooding this spring in north-central North Dakota.
The water-logged soil and rainy fall led to some significant water flows along the Mouse River this winter.
Jim Olson reports on how the dams and reservoirs that provide critical flood control are shaping up as spring gets closer.
Three dams in Canada - Rafferty, Alameda, and Boundary, control the amount of water that enters North Dakota from Saskatchewan west of Sherwood. In the U.S., one dam provides flood control - Lake Darling Dam northwest of Minot. Among them, the dams and reservoirs they create are designed to keep a lid on the spring runoff of snow melt. Of course, in 2011, the system was overwhelmed by a big snow melt that filled reservoirs which were not drained before mid-June rains in Canada forced the opening of gates at dams - one of which was said to be in danger of collapse - and the Mouse River rampaged to its worst flooding on record. The international agreement that regulates the operation of the river system is under review for possible changes to address what went wrong in 2011. In the meantime, that agreement continues to dictate how the dams and reservoirs are operated. And as we enter the spring of 2014, the reservoirs are right where they're supposed to be.
The 1989 International Operations Manual requires these levels for the three main reservoirs by February First: Rafferty - the largest storage area - must be at 549.5 meters, Alameda to the east controls inflow to the Souris from Moose Mountain Creek and must be at 561 meters, and Lake Darling must be at 1596 feet.
And as of today, that's exactly where those three reservoirs sit. Each one is within inches of the required February First level. But Minot's mayor wonders if water managers shouldn't just keep water flowing in the Mouse and drop the reservoir levels lower.
(Curt Zimbelman, Minot Mayor) "We're very saturated, our soil's very saturated and that's the way we'll go into spring and if we're not fortunate like we were last year with the freezing and thawing and that long spring we had to get through it, I'm concerned. We always have those concerns and we know through common sense that it'd be nice to have a bit more room in those facilities."
Last spring, Zimbelman won his battle to have the level of Lake Darling lowered a foot below its prescribed level. That came in late March after several weeks of very wet weather pushed potential runoff levels very high.
(Curt Zimbelman, Minot Mayor) "You think that little trickle that's going through the river valley now, I mean, why not? Why not just let it trickle away and have a bit more room available but our hands are kind of tied."
For now, releases both from Canadian dams and from Lake Darling have been cut back from where they were all winter. For most of the late fall and winter, Lake Darling Dam discharged 300 cubic feet per second of water - four times more than the pervious winter and the highest winter releases ever. But now, with the lake at its required February First level, the releases have been curtailed.
In less than one month, members of the International Souris River Board - the group in charge of management of the river - will meet to assess the snowpack and expected runoff. If they decide the amount of water poised to run into the river is among the top 10% of historic runoff totals, they'll declare it a "one in ten" year and move into flood prevention operations with the US Army Corps of Engineers taking over management duties south of the border, and, perhaps, bringing the reservoir levels down. If not, the system will be operated as normal with an eye toward bringing the reservoirs to their normal summertime levels by the time the snow melt ends.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

After beginning her fight against an advanced stage of cancer, Caddo Parish Commissioner, Joyce Bowman returned to her seat at Monday's commissioner's meeting. She was immediately given a resounding show of support.
Not only did she see a standing ovation from her fellow commissioners, and the administration, she saw them donning supportive T-shirts over their suits. The shirts read "Fighter" and featured a pair of boxing gloves to represent Bowman's trademark brashness and fearlessness as she tackles issues like crime and safety. Bowman, who is undergoing chemotherapy was a few minutes late to the meeting. When she arrived commissioners, who were in the middle of a discussion, abruptly stopped when someone said "Everyone stand please." Applause that lasted about a minute followed. Bowman could be seen covering her face and wiping away tears during the applause. She says she was overcome with emotion to see the kindness from her fellow commissioners. The whole time I've been in public office, I never cried in public. But all these nice gestures have just overwhelmed me," said Bowman. Bowman says she won't be able to attend every meeting, but will try to attend when there is a vote so that she can continue serving the people of Caddo Parish.

Encouraging people to shop, eat, and live in Downtown Roanoke is all a part of Downtown Roanoke Inc.'s mission. Now, they are targeting moving businesses into office space.
DRI showed business leaders 600,000 square feet of space during their office tour and panel discussion.
They hope by showing existing company's that have done well in the area, they'll help get more people to work downtown.
"The goal here, is to raise the profile of Downtown Roanoke as a business location," DRI Economic Development Specialist, Price Gusthall says.
Price Gutshall tells us that in the 1990's, Downtown Roanoke had about 12,000 employees working in the area. Now, the number has increased 15,000 employees.
There's also a 7% vacancy rate, which Gutshall says means there's still plenty of room for future growth.
"You have great office space. Office space you can't find outside of downtown market." Gutshall says.
Pam Banks says she's can't imagine not working in Downtown Roanoke.
"I love working downtown. There's a variety of people, businesses, and I get to do a little shopping sometimes," Pam Banks says.
She says she remembers a time when most of the buildings had "For Lease" signs in the windows. She's happy to see much fewer of those.
"I'm glad everything's moving back downtown," Smith says.

Bill Allred talks about his journey to Nepal.
SHAUNA LAKE: I'm beyond impressed that you climbed…
BILL ALLRED: No I didn't climb Mt. Everest.
SHAUNA LAKE: Is that not true?
BILL ALLRED: No I didn't climb Mt. Everest.
SHAUNA LAKE: What did you do?
BILL ALLRED: I went to Nepal, and I walked to where people who climb Mt. Everest begin their climb.
SHAUNA LAKE: That's still amazing. Was that something you always wanted to do?
BILL ALLRED: Well for a long, long, long, long time I wanted to do it. I mean I don't know probably 20 years, 30 years, I don't know a long time ago I saw some television special of people who just go trekking in Nepal, and I'm watching this going wow this is fascinating. I always thought of climbing Mt. Everest you go there and it's this snowy, cold, forbidding, rocky, awful, and these people are going on this trek and they're going through jungles and there are monkeys and I thought, 'oh I didn't realize that's part of Nepal.' And they're walking through it or maybe they're going through Tibet at the time I don't know, but I think it was Nepal. And anyway it kind of got me interested in mountain climbing and mountaineering, and I never really did any of that myself, but I read books about it. And then I met this guy through the radio show named Dean Cardinale. He runs the ski patrol in the winter up at Snowbird and avalanche control. And then in the summer he has this company called World Wide Trekking, and he's summited Everest himself and he decided to put, he used the ski patrol as his work and then in the summer he'd just go adventuring. And he decided well I do this all the time, I should do this as a business, and he has started taking people on trekking adventures all over the world. And he's talking to me about this and he came on the radio show and he said you out to come with us, and I said oh I couldn't do that. I'm not in good enough shape I couldn't do that. He said oh you could do it. Why don't you come along? You could do it.
SHAUNA LAKE: And what are you thinking to yourself.
BILL ALLRED: I'm going well I can't just take off for 18 days, and I'm not in good shape, and he said you could do it. And I said well I can't. He said, look. You come...just pay for the airfare. You get over there and you come with me. And Kerry and Gina are going well yeah you should do it. And I said to my wife, what do you? And she said well you really out to do it if it's just kind of fallen in your lap.
SHAUNA LAKE: And it's kind of on your bucket list.
BILL ALLRED: And so I did it. Flew to Katmandu on my birthday, landed in Katmandu on my birthday and two days later we flew from Katmandu, which is about the same elevation as Salt Lake, flew to the world's most dangerous airfield Lukla, Nepal which is at 9,000 feet and started walking. And walked for 12 days I think. Up, up, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down to about twenty... I forget what it is. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I didn't know if I could make it. I got altitude sick. I got every kind of sick. I was miserable.
SHAUNA LAKE: Glad you did it?
BILL ALLRED: Yeah. Yes very glad. I would go back in a heartbeat. I don't think I could do that trek again. I don't think I would do that trek again, but I would love to go back to Nepal, to go back to Katmandu. It's just, they're remarkable people. It's a beautiful, you've never seen anything like it. And when you get up into those villages up in those mountains into those terrace villages there's no...the only way you can get there is to walk or to ride a horse. It's just amazing.
