Services will be Thursday September 26 at 2:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Crookston
Dolores Ann Montreuil, 77, of Crookston peacefully passed away September 21, 2013 at home with her family surrounding her. Dolores was born March 15, 1936 near Dorothy, MN, the daughter of Hubert and Mildred (Schultz) Huot. She was baptized and confirmed at St. Dorothy's Catholic Church. She grew up on the family farm and graduated from Lafayette High School in Red Lake Falls in 1954. Dolores was employed by Otter Tail Power Company and later worked for Crookston Water Company, Highland Middle School, and Dahlgren & Co. In 1957 she married Alan Eugene Montreuil of Crookston. They made their life in Crookston and together raised three children, Greg, Sandy, and Renee.
Dolores had a love of nature and enjoyed gardening, going to the lake, and spending time with her immediate and extended family. She had a strong faith and always put God and family first. She will be remembered for her thoughtfulness, warm smile, generosity, and gentle nature. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched.
Dolores is survived by Alan, her loving husband of 56 years and children Greg Montreuil (Yves Musard) of New York, NY, Sandy (Jim) Novak of Centennial, CO, and Renee (Jon) Brekken of Lakeville, MN; and grandchildren Leah and Ryan Novak and Nick, Ben and Annie Brekken. She also leaves eight brothers and sisters, Bernetta (Adolph) Donarski of Crookston; Lorena (Harry) Nohre of Fertile, MN; Elaine (Larry) Ricard of Beltrami, MN; Genevieve (Bernard) Ricard of Crookston, Leonard "Red" (Darlene) Huot of Red Lake Falls, MN; Eddie Huot of Gilbert, AZ; Wilfred (Pat) Huot of Grand Forks, ND; and Darlene (Bill) Ryan of Vernal, UT; a sister-in-law Gladyce Huot of Red Lake Falls, MN; a brother-in-law Ron Donarski of Crookston, and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.

Anyone thinking about swapping a container ship engine into your '86 Celica? Better think again — these things are huge. You'd probably need something with more room, like a Toronado, or if you're thinking of the 25,480L, 14 cylinder Wärtsilä RTA96-C, maybe something even bigger. Like a vacant lot.
The RTA96-C (or the newer RTAflex96-C) is a two-stroke, turbocharged diesel engine designed to run at very low speeds. When each cylinder is 1820 liters, you don't really need all that much speed. In fact, the engine runs at a fairly lethargic 22- 102 RPM, though even at those low speeds you're getting 5,608,310 lb-ft of torque and up to 108,920 BHP. Holy crap. That's the sort of power that God's dad's boss's Ultra-Camaro makes.
But the best thing about the RTA96-C engine is the sheer, improbable scale of it, and how it still, fundamentally, looks like the sort of engine's we're all familiar with. That means in photos of people next to the engine or engine parts, our brains want to read these people as victims of a shrink-ray. These pictures always make me do a double-take.
Also remarkable is that this engine gets mentioned in meme-ified screenshots from the Fast and Furious movies:
Now let's all sit back and bask in just how big this thing is. Look at this picture of a bent rod from one of these. Now just contemplate the forces involved with that.
Holy crap, right?

Now running at Stagecrafters, "Play It Again, Sam" is surely one of Woody Allen's best works. Both a hit Broadway play (1969) and movie (1972), it features Allan Felix, a divorced 35-year-old film critic who struggles to reclaim his life.
Played by James Lewis, Felix is distraught and hyper, often skittering to the stage apron as though he were about to jump off. Into this void two phantasms from his past — ex-wife Nancy and Humphrey Bogart — jump in and set up shop inside Felix's head.
Nancy (Julia Wise) is picturesque and full of life. In contrast to stuck-in-the-house Felix, this charming Brooklyn vixen keeps popping in from all entrances and from different parts of the world wearing different costumes to taunt Felix on his inadequacies.
Bogey (Jeff Ragan) often shows up in his signature raincoat and has to instruct Felix on how to handle "dames." When Felix finally does come up with a woman friend, Bogey is there for him, now dressed in a tuxedo to give stern, no-nonsense seduction orders.
And who is Felix to resist? A dark rosy light announces the arrivals of these apparitions (light design Gilbert Todd). Nancy and Bogey are hilarious (at one point they fight each other), and we are charmed by the rhythmic cadence of their comings and goings. But to Felix they are like a song or jingle that he just can't get out of his head.
They really tell Felix he has no life of his own. His best friends, Dick and Linda Christie, inadvertently make the same point. But these two are real live people who arrive on the scene with their own fields of suffering.
Felix's apartment is dominated by posters of vintage movies of the '40s and '50s. The set is uncluttered as director David Flagg uses lots of physical movement, including a few slapstick sequences reminiscent of Woody's Sid Caesar days (set design and decor, Scott Killinger and Susan Rosenberg Flagg).
And Flagg's production makes extensive use of costumes. Slovenly Felix contrasts with impeccable Dick. We know a lot about Felix's would-be love interests just by looking at them. They include Sharon Lake (Hayley Manion Smith), Go-Go-Girl (Ana-Maria Arkan), Barbara (Laura Betz) and Intellectual Girl (Karen Binder).
In addition to the star performances, Jim Broyles is outstanding as Dick, who uses cockiness to cover up his own massive insecurity. As Linda, Mare Mikalic has a face and bearing that somehow manage to look blank and expressive at the same time.
"Sam" is often so funny you can't laugh. Felix cannot live authentically until he chases the ghosts out of his life. But we all live with a few unbidden house guests, and "Sam" makes you wonder who they are and how to get rid of them.
Stagecrafters is located at 8130 Germantown Ave. "Play It Again, Sam" will run through June 30. Reservations available at 215-247-8881.

The Dangerous Charade of Billionaire Victims
The Tom Perkins "billionaires-as-victims" charade couldn't be more surreal. It goes without saying that his comparing the 1% to victims of Hitler's genocide is tasteless. That it is oblivious is obvious. And that Perkins himself suffers from paranoid delusions must be suspected.

ADDISON COUNTY — While patrolling Morgan Horse Farm Road in Weybridge on the evening of Thursday, Dec. 8, Vermont State Police Trooper Tim Hanley checked on a vehicle parked in a pull off next to the bridge over Otter Creek.
The trooper said the driver, Jamie C. Martin, 30, of Castleton, falsely identified himself as a Massachusetts man. Martin's privilege to drive in Vermont is suspended.
The trooper cited Martin for driving with a criminally suspended license and providing false information to a police officer.
In other recent activity, VSP working out of the New Haven barracks:

• On Dec. 6 notified the public that police are on the lookout for a 17-year-old who was reported to have run away from a New Haven home. Trooper Busier reported that Cheri Jean Karzmarczyk was reported to have run away from her residence sometime after 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 12. Karzmarczyk was described as a white female, 5-foot-4-inches tall, approximately 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She may be wearing sweat pants and a maroon Carhartt jacket.

A Crystal BallThursday, January 31st, 2013
Well, perhaps it's over-egging it a bit to say I had 'a ball.' But given that there was a small child to entertain, it was a bloomin' awful day, we'd 'done' Greenwich and there wasn't enough time to go into town, a trip across the water to a free exhibition in the dry – with nice cakes – seems like a bit of a result.
I'm always slightly suspicious when a giant multinational that depends on consumer – well, consumption, actually, creates a 'sustainable cities initiative' and then spends vast wads of cash giving us the patronising 'we need to talk about saving energy by not doing stuff' message (I'm assuming the 'not doing stuff' doesn't extend to not buying their goods…) but as propaganda goes, this is pretty slick.
The building itself is a handsome glass affair in an area that has very little else going on, right next to the cable car, the first, I am hoping, in a new rush of interesting attractions worth making the trip across the river for.
We went on a Saturday, and even on a traditionally 'family' day, most of the visitors seemed to be group bookings; brownies, I believe, and students. I should imagine that during the week it's wall-to-wall school parties. There's plenty to do, lots of buttons to press and games to play – someone has spent a lot of time and money making some very good exhibits, and it's so new that nearly all of them still work (I was in the Maritime Museum the other day and several of their interactive displays are already broken. But then they don't have Siemens funding them…)
And there IS much to think about. My favourite part was the bits where you're getting to plan a virtual city, you're given various constraints, a budget and a list of transport, energy, education etc. options and told to get on with running it. As Phantom Monarch I tried quite a few ways to put in infrastructure, take infrastructure out, add more roads, remove roads, give my subjects more public transport, less waste disposal etc. and every time I watched my city implode under the strain.
Some of it's just plain baffling. I can't remember what on earth this giant Chinese lantern represents, and I'm not sure I ever knew, though it's possible it's just covering the exterior of the cinema. Other things are pretty but again, I couldn't tell you what they mean:
There's a quite alarming film about global energy use (why did I find myself wondering that we would save a load of energy if we just turned off all the giant 360 degree movies about climate change..?) and some rather wonderful sections about the body.
In short, there is much to do, much to see, and if it doesn't sit quite right that this is all funded by a multinational who are as busy plundering the earth for rare metals, gases, energy etc. as any other computer/white goods giant, then hey – we all sucked up that MacDonalds and Cadburys sponsored the Olympics last year. And Boris approves. This is pride of place in the City section:
Ultimately the result was one small child entertained for an hour on a wet day, and I find that hard to knock.
The thing I like most about this place, though, and something I will be returning to, is the splendid cafe.
Good food, nicely presented
with prices no worse than anywhere else in London, and actually, IMHO, very good for a London attraction:
I can see myself taking a cable car across the water just for the hell of it (and a cup of coffee at the Crystal). I delight in being the unfashionable Phantom that adores the cable car – of course it's daft, but oh, I love it. Even I, though, raised an eyebrow at this particular display in the City part of the exhibition:

Egle Armani, Albino Armani Winery (Photo ©Tom Hyland)
Last week I attended a small press luncheon at Pelago Restaurant in Chicago to taste the wines of Albino Armani. As is the case with so many small to moderate size wineries in Italy, they have a fascinating story to tell and equally intriguing wines.
The winery in question is Albino Armani, located in the Val d'Adige DOC in northern Veneto; presenting the wines was Egle Armani, wife of Albino, who serves as winemaker. The winery makes several types of wine, including Prosecco, Pinot Grigio (their Corvara bottling is quite distinctive) and Amarone, but their specialty is the wine they make from a rare indigenous variety named Foja Tonda.
There is a grand total of 14 hectares (about 35 acres) of this grape in all of Italy, with the Armani winery owning 12. In fact the actual name of the grape is casetta; Armani trademarked the name Foja Tonda ("round leaf" in Italian) and labels their wine with both names – Foja Tonda Casetta. They are the only producer who can legally use the Foja Tonda name.
We tasted three different bottlings – 2005, 2006 and 2007 – and each wine was quite different, owing to differences in those vintages as well as a traditional winemaking style. Thankfully, Armani made the decision to age the wine in botti grandi, in this case, Slavonian oak casks of 4500 liters, which minimizes the wood notes in the wine. This allows the fruit of the grape to emerge; in this case, the wines have aromas and flavors of red cherry and currant and even a touch of cranberry. There is also delicate spice and tannins are moderate. The wines taste a bit llike a traditional (non-ripasso) Valpolicella – these particular wines have less wood however than many examples of Valpolicella. They are a pleasure to drink; the 2005 is a bit more complex now, which is no surprise, given the wine is a bit older; The 2006 is nicely balanced, but displays a bit more tannin than the other wines. My favorite is the 2007, which is the most elegant wine of the three with beautiful levels of acidity. Incidentally, the 2007 is now labeled with the recent Terradeiforti DOC; previous vintages were labeled as IGT Rosso Vallagrina.
It's a treat to try a wine such as Foja Tonda, which helps all of us more greatly understand the mysteries of Italian viticulture – how many of these indigenous varieties there are! It's also a pleasure to sample this rare variety as made by Albino Armani, who respects the grape's heritage by using only large oak casks. It's also a delight when these wines are priced at $20 a bottle, a price that makes our curiosity a not too expensive condition.
To read more about these wines, see this post by Charles Scicolone.

Rio official pledges transparent probe in slaying
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Rio de Janeiro's top security official on Wednesday promised a rigorous investigation into the death of a young man that sparked overnight clashes in a slum near a key Olympic venue and did not rule out that police may have been responsible.
Public Safety Director Jose Maria Beltrame told reporters the investigation would explore all possible hypotheses in the death of Douglas Rafael da Silva Pereira, whose body was found Tuesday in the Pavao-Pavaozinho hillside "favela."
Authorities didn't initially make public a cause of death, although Periera's mother, Maria de Fatima da Silva, told reporters that police had said her son died after falling from a wall, while she believed her was shot by police.
On Wednesday, Beltrame said an autopsy determined Pereira died from a gunshot wound.
Police killings in Rio's shantytowns have become a hot-button issue ahead of the World Cup, which kicks off in 12 Brazilian cities in June. More than two dozen officers have been charged in the slaying of a man in another Rio slum last year. They allegedly tortured laborer Amarildo de Souza, who died as a result of the ordeal, and hid his body.
In an apparent bid to avoid another uproar like the one that arose over de Souza's death, Beltrame repeatedly pledged transparency throughout the investigation. "No hypothesis has been ruled out," he said.
"We are going to do everything possible, and with the upmost rigor and transparency possible, to present society with the answer to this," he said.
Beltrame said a 10-officer police contingent had been dispatched to the slum late Monday following a tip on the whereabouts of drug gang members. The officers were met by heavily armed men and a short but intense firefight ensued. Two other officers found Pereira's body on the premises of a day care center the next day, he said.
Beltrame condemned "speculation" about what happened to Pereira, a dancer on a popular variety show on the Globo network, but added that investigators would act swiftly on any indication that police were behind the shooting.
The Pavao-Pavaozinho slum is sandwiched between Rio's showcase Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and is just a few hundred yards (meters) from where Olympic swimming events are to be held during the 2016 summer games. The favela erupted into violence late Tuesday following the discovery of Pereira's body, and another man, Edilson da Silva dos Santos, was killed in the overnight clashes, according to a police statement.
News reports said Santos, who was in his mid-20s, was killed by a bullet to the head.
Rio's police began an ambitious security program in 2008 to drive gangs from some of the city's more than 1,000 slums and for the first time set up permanent posts. The "pacifying police units" are part of efforts to secure this notoriously violent city ahead of the World Cup and Olympics.
So far, 37 such units have been created, covering an area with a population of 1.5 million people. But critics complain the units tend to be clustered near wealthy, touristy neighborhoods and appear aimed more at keeping a lid on violent crime during the upcoming mega-events than protecting slum dwellers.
Police moved into Pavao-Pavaozinho in 2009.

When Bubble & Baum, a British maker of fair trade natural body products, needed capital to expand, it didn't head to a bank or a well-heeled venture capitalist. Instead, the Warwickshire-based company turned to Crowdcube, a Web platform that lets small businesses raise funds from individuals. A total of 82 people invested between £10 and £7,500 a piece to buy £75,000 worth of Bubble & Baum shares, for a 15 percent stake in the company. "We now have the funds we need and a great team of supporters," says Bubble & Baum founder Sue Acton.
With credit still tight and venture capital out of reach for many small firms, "crowdfunding" sites such as Crowdcube offer an attractive alternative. By raising small sums from many individuals, businesses can access the capital they need to grow and thrive, often more quickly and on better terms than with conventional sources. And, their new investors often become their best customers and boosters. For investors, the crowdfunding sites offer a chance to make above-market returns and share in the success of a company they admire and support.
A Crowded Field
Crowdcube, founded in 2010 in Exeter, calls its crowdfunding model "the next generation of business investment." And sure enough, the competition is lining up. Seedrs.com, a London-based startup that will let investors buy shares in seed stage companies, plans to launch in early 2012. Meanwhile, GrowVC, a company based in Hong Kong with global offices, bills itself as a "virtual Silicon Valley." Other sites, such as London-based Funding Circle, crowdfund small business loans, rather than equity. (Still others, such as Zopa.com in London and Prosper.com in San Francisco, focus on person-to-person lending).
Disqus: What collaboration and social media tools are most useful for startups?
Fueled by the potent combination of social networking and finance, these sites—many of which are springing up in the United Kingdom, thanks to its accommodating securities laws—bypass traditional gatekeepers and allow any citizen to become a banker or VC. That could open up vast new pools of capital for cash-starved entrepreneurs and usher in a more democratic form of finance.
"The aim is to reinvent a large portion of the financial system in the UK," says Samir Desai, a cofounder and director of Funding Circle. "There are so many inefficiencies in small business lending." On Funding Circle, a company can get its loan funded in as little as 10 days, compared to the 15 to 20 weeks it can take to get a bank loan. Very often, the interest rates the company pays are lower, as well. "It's a better model," Desai says.
In its first year, Funding Circle has attracted nearly 5,000 lenders—who earn an average return of 7.4 percent after fees—and more than 300 small business borrowers. Most lenders spread out their investment over multiple loans (which are unsecured) to mitigate risk, although so far only two borrowers have defaulted. The site has become popular with investors looking to support local businesses while earning a decent return. Funding Circle's members are funding loans at a rate of £2.3 million a month. The average loan is £40,000 and funded by 500 different lenders.
Social Media is Key
The process may look simple, but under the covers, crowdfunding sites rely on scalable networks and sophisticated financial technology. Funding Circle, for example, combines elements of a stock exchange for bidding on loans, and a loan servicing platform capable of spreading payments out over many individual lenders.
The crowdfunding sites also take advantage of the Internet to provide a high degree of transparency, allowing members and potential investors to see all of the investments made to date and their performance. Social networking is also a crucial piece of the equation. Funding Circle, for example, encourages members to form "circles" of interest. Groups have formed to lend money to small businesses in particular regions, such as East Midlands or London, as well as to types of firms, whether manufacturers or socially responsible companies. The sites also encourage active discussion forums for members.
"Networks are key and social media is the way to reach them," says Jeff Lynn, the CEO of Seedrs. He figures the first 20 percent to 40 percent of an investment might come from friends and family, which will then attract a broader group of investors. "We think there's a huge validation and trust factor when you see a business run by a friend of a friend," Lynn says.
Should banks and financial gatekeepers be worried? So far, crowdfunding is a niche business, but it is growing fast. And as the spreading Occupy Wall Street movement suggests, people are looking for alternatives. Says Desai: "We're just scratching the surface right now."

California Department of Transportation
Date: Friday, June 23, 2011
District: 6
Contact: Jose L. Camarena
Phone: 559-488-4067
$825 Million allocated to create jobs and improve transportation
FRESNO – The California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $825 million in new funding to 92 highway, transit, and rail projects that will strengthen California's economy and upgrade the state's vast transportation system. The allocations included nearly $9 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, the state has allocated nearly $8 billion in Proposition 1B funds.
"From one end of the state to the other, transportation projects are providing jobs and improving mobility for people and businesses in California," said Caltrans Acting Director Malcolm Dougherty.
Two notable design-build projects in Los Angeles County received $526 million in allocations: the Gerald Desmond Bridge ($470 million) and the Interstate 10/Interstate 605 Direct Connector ($56 million). Design-build streamlines a project by overlapping design and construction to speed up construction and potentially reduce costs. Design-build is currently being used in 32 other states. Caltrans obtained design-build authority in February 2009 with the passage of Senate Bill 4 (second extraordinary session). The legislation established a demonstration program, which allows 10 design-build projects for Caltrans and five for local transportation agencies, subject to authorization by the CTC.
Other highlights of the allocations include: Madera County - $139,000 to construct pedestrian and bicyclist undercrossings at Schnoor Avenue as part of a Walking/Bike Trail in the City of Madera.
Fresno County – $339,000 in the City of Kingsburg to install safety median islands and aesthetic landscaping on Sierra Street between Bethel Avenue and State Route 99.
Tulare County – $173,000 for a project that will construct a Transit Center-Main Street Streetscape in the City of Visalia, along Santa Fe Street between Murray Avenue and Main Street.
San Diego – $4 million for a project that will construct four miles of double track on the Los Angeles-San Diego Rail Corridor.
Sacramento – $4 million for a project that will construct a four-mile light rail extension from Meadowview Road to Cosumnes River College.
Orange County – $16 million to repave and repair 82 lane miles of pavement on Interstate 5 in San Juan Capistrano and Mission Viejo to improve safety and provide motorists a smoother ride.

Are Justin Bieber & Selena Too Young To Be Sharing A Hotel Room Together?
Justin, 17, and Selena, 18, were just spotted sharing a suite — and it's not the first time! Are they really old enough? The Love Consultants take on the question exclusively for HollywoodLife.com!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez sometimes have been a bit coy about their relationship — but it doesn't seem that these teenagers are at all shy about sharing a hotel suite. HollywoodLife.com asks The Love Consultants — professional matchmaker and dating coach Matt Titus and his wife, author and media personality Tamsen Fadal — if these two stars are too young to be appear to be so intimate!
Matt's Take:
Justin and Selena have certainly been going strong as a couple — with the latest word that she joined him when his world tour made a stop in Malaysia.
The two teen lovebirds reportedly shared the presidential suite at the Kuala Lumpur Hilton and were described as "such a beautiful and loving couple" who "hardly stepped out of" their room. But is it OK for Justin and Selena to appear to be shacking up together at such young ages? They also had what looked to be a steamy getaway in St. Lucia this winter.
I say they are both too young for this. It's hard to expect teenage romance to have weight or depth. Keeping it easy and fun is key — and overnight stays in high-class resorts definitely cross the danger line!
Of course, Justin and Selena aren't normal teens, and they have the luxury to spend whatever they want to ensure privacy. So it's not a surprise they'd share quality time in a presidential suite. But just because they are embraced by fans and the media alike, doesn't make it right. It's irresponsible at their ages.
Justin is a young guy engrossed in a high-profile career. I've seen a distressing cycle taking place with him, ever since the release of his movie Never Say Never and the revelation of his relationship with Selena. He's increasingly acted out in a negative fashion. Flipping the bird to photographers and lashing out at the demands of the attention he gets shows that the pressure of fame may be getting to him — and his support team needs change their playbook!
Spending time alone in a hotel room with Selena could be just too much to handle. His mother Pattie Mallette — his guiding light — needs to stop this behavior. Now.
Justin, spending overnights with Selena is a no-no!. You and Selena are teens who need to be guarded and guided.
Tamsen's Take:
I think Justin and Selena really do make a sweet couple. They're cute, talented and seem to really have fun together. But I believe things are moving way too fast for them!
Teens need to doing things like go to the movies, the mall or spend time together on Skype, not share the presidential suite in a tropical paradise! Yes, I know that for two young people as famous as Selena and Justin, it is nearly impossible to be "normal teenagers." They need guidance from the adults in their lives to stay on the right path.
Their parents should NOT be teaching them that life is getting everything you want, whenever you want it. Justin, especially, is too young to be engaging in an activity that should be reserved for adults. He is a minor at 17 and would not even be able to rent a hotel room on his own.
There is no all-encompassing guidebook for teaching teens the in-and-outs of dating, relationships and intimacy. There's even less life-coaching info out there for young talents who have fame and fortune. So I'm hoping once again that the adults in Justin and Selena's lives are keenly aware of every move these kids are making.
Justin and Selena, you need to truly enjoy the quality time you get to spend together — celebrate your young romance for everything that it is!
And your parents need to educate you both on everything your wonderful young romance is NOT — meaning this is not yet an adult relationship!

NASA decommissioned the Space Shuttle last year, donating the four shuttles to various museums throughout the country. Enterprise's permanent home will be at the Intrepid Air & Space Museum.
It will remain at JFK for a couple of weeks while it is safely removed from the 747 jet it rode on. It will then be put on a barge in early June and transported up the Hudson River, when it will be placed on the flight deck of the Intrepid.
A pavilion will be constructed over it, and then Enterprise will begin welcoming visitors.
