THE VOYAGE, an emotionally charged short film and exhibition of photographs by the celebrated husband-wife team — to be exhibited at RED's Wynwood gallery, located in the heart of the district's most elaborate graffiti walls, during this year's Art Basel Miami 2015 art fair. RED Digital Cinema is located in the Wynwood Arts District at 72 NW 25th Street in Miami.
It is not a surprise that the current wave of world events have filtered into the art being shown during this year's art week. Displacement, cultural migration and memory are central to the theme of this poetic short film and photographic work. As reality weighs heavily on our conscience, stirred up by the inundation of horrific narratives and footage. Refugees abandoning the ills of their long loved countries delving into the brutality of the unknown. BJ and Richeille Formento http://formento2.com present this work as silent bystanders in the mass cultural migration and world shift that is in full motion. This powerful work juxtaposes loss with an ephemeral timeless beauty that is signature to the artists' work. They convey the juxtaposition of nightmare with visual poetry, and cultural anxiety with escapism.
After two consecutive stellar years with entire booths dedicated to their work at Art Miami, Formento + Formento, return to Art Basel Miami week with an out-of-the-box presentation of this extraordinary and poignant work.
The exhibition and showing of the film is open December 2 – 5 from 10am to 6pm. An end of the art-week celebration takes place on Saturday, December 5th 8pm to 12am with a performance by Chargaux, http://chargaux.com who also wrote the musical score for the film. Cocktails created by www.shaker-street.com. Sponsored by ABSOLUT ELYX.

Snow Emotions in the Dolomiti Superski area - Alpine skiing, tobogganing and ice skating in Ortisei!
Enjoy the alpine flair of the Dolomites and draw energy from nature!
The Val Gardena is surrounded by the magical world of the Dolomites. The pale mountains, next to the village of Ortisei, invite to practice numerous leisure and sports facilities, such as alpine skiing, tobogganing, snowshoeing, ice skating, ice climbing, romantic rides on horse-drawn sleigh and Après-Ski.
More than 1200 kilometers of slopes, about 450 lifts, that is Dolomiti Superski – the biggest ski circuit in the world that takes you in a few minutes to the heart of the Sella Ronda.
AvventurarVi con gli sci da fondo attraverso il paesaggio innevato delle Dolomiti. La Val Gardena fa parte del circuito Dolomiti Nordic Ski, il carosello di sci di fondo più grande d'Europa con circa 1.000 Km di piste da fondo. Inoltre la Vallunga a Selva, Monte Pana a Santa Cristina e l'Alpe di Siusi, con oltre 115 km di piste da fondo, sono cornici ineguagliabili per i tifosi dello sci di fondo.
From the top station of the brand new Rasciesa funicular railway there is a 6 km toboggan run to Ortisei. Also on the near Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi offer numerous opportunities for fun tobogganing runs.
An excursion through the fairytale winter-scenery of the Dolomites is a unique experience. Pleasant walks and long Snowshoeing treks, surrounded by the snowy winter landscape of the Val Gardena, provide for relaxing moments. Addition to that the Puez - Geisler (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is a fantastic backdrop for nature lovers.
You can find here all the necessary information about rental of innovative ski and snowboard equipment and a unique service for delivery and pick up of equipment directly from our residence. Take advantage of the possibility to conveniently book your equipment online!
The Ortisei ski schools offer a rich selection of programs for the whole winter season: courses in mountaineering, carving, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, competitions for guests, ski-guided trips and much more. There are programs for children, amateur and expert skiers.


Forello gorge is a Umbrian valley located between Todi and Orvieto formed by the Tiber river that crosses the ridge Peglia - Monti Amerini. This very steep and scarcely populated place forms the heart of the Tiber River Park.
There are major complex of caves carved by water in the limestone rocks of the walls, including the Cave of the Plain which extends for 2500 m in a travertine bench and returned artifacts dating from the Neolithic and the Bronze Age , and the cave of Vorgozzino, in the formation of red stone, which reaches a depth of 123 m.

Mammals are warm-blooded (endothermic) animals with a backbone (vertebrates) which share the characteristics of having hair or fur and mammary glands that produce milk to nourish their young. The astonishing diversity among mammals ranges from tiny field mice the size of a thimble to the massive blue whale. Mammals occupy all continents and can live on land, below ground, in trees, in the air and in fresh or salt water. Humans are members of the mammal family.
Explore the mammals of Wildlife Safari below, can you find them all when you visit?
Loxodanta africana
African Elephants have large ears, shaped like the continent of Africa! Both male and female African elephants grow tusks, and have wrinkled gray-brown skin. African elephants are mostly found in central to southern Africa.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists African Elephants as Vulnerable.
Wildlife Safari elephants would like to remind you to never buy ivory!
African Lion
Panthera leo krugeri
Lion coloration varies from light buff to yellowish, reddish, or dark brown. The underparts are generally lighter and the tail tuft is black. Lion cubs are born with brown rosettes (spots) on their body, rather like those of a leopard. Although these fade as lions reach adulthood, faint spots often may still be seen on the legs and underparts, particularly on lionesses.Only males have manes.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists AfricanLions as Vulnerable.
Bison bison
Shaggy, dark brown inner coat; lighter in Summer. Both sexes have horns. Live in herds of thousands.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists Bisonas Near Threatened.
American Elk
Cervus elaphus roosevelti
Males have seasonally lighter coat colors and long (up to five feet) non-palmate antlers. Males have a dark brown mane on throat. Both sexes have a pale yellow rump hair patch.
Brindled Wildebeest
Connochaetes taurinus
It is a hooved (ungulate) mammal. Wildebeest is Dutch for "wild beast" or "wild cattle" in Afrikaans.A full-grown wildebeest can be 4.2–4.8ft at the shoulder and weigh 260–600lbs. They inhabit the plains and open woodlands of Africa. Wildebeest can live more than 40 years, though their average lifespan is around 20 years. The wildebeest has a broad muzzle shaped like a lawnmower, which helps it with eating short grass.
Usually dark brown, subspecies vary from light cream to almost black. Tips of guard hairs are white; they give the bear a grizzled appearance. Large hump of muscle over shoulders, dished profile and longer claws on front paws.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists Brown Bearsas Least Concerned.
Acinonyx jubatus
Tail has spots which merge to form 4 to 6 dark rings at the end. May have cotton ball on tip of tail that can vary in size. Black "tear marks" run from the corner of the eyes down the sides of the nose to its mouth, these reflect the sun from their eyes. The average Cheetah has over 3,000 spots.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists CheetahsasVulnerable.
Cotton-top Tamarin
Saguinus oedipus
The cotton-top tamarin is part of the most diminutive family of monkeys, Callitrichidae, the marmosets and tamarins; it weights a little less than one pound on average. Its head–body length is 8 – 10 inches while its tail—which is not prehensile—is slightly longer 13–16 inches. The species has modified claws, called tegulae, on all digits except its big toes which have the flat nails, called ungulae, common to other primates. The white hair on the back of the head and neck inspires its common name, "cotton-top". The skin of the face is black with gray or white bands located above the eyes. These bands continue along the edge of the face down to the jaw.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species listsCotton-topped Tamarins as Critically Endangered.
Damara Zebra
Equus burchellii antiquorum

Hippopotamus amphibius
Back is purplish grey-brown, pinkish undersides. Patches of pink on face. Hide is virtually hairless.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists Hippopotamias Vulnerable.
Maned Wolf
Chrysocyon brachyurus
The maned wolf has often been described as "a red fox on stilts" owing to its similar coloration and overall appearance, though it is much larger than a red fox and belongs to a different genus. The adult animal stands 26 to 42 inches tall at the shoulder, and weighs 44 to 75 lbs. The maned wolf is the tallest of the wild canids. The long legs are probably an adaptation to the tall grasslands of its native habitat. Fur of the maned wolf may be reddish brown to golden orange on the sides with long, black legs and a distinctive black mane. The coat is further marked with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a white "bib" beneath the throat.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists Maned Wolvesas Near Threatened.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species lists White Rhinosas Near Threatened.
Sumatran Tigers
Panthera tigris

World Baseball Classic brings together 16 nations
March 4, 2009	7:02 AM CDT
For most, around this time of year, "March Madness" is all about college basketball and that's totally cool. Really, college ball is for real. No doubt. Lots of props there.
But for others like myself this year's "March madness" is all about our country's greatest pastime game, good old American-made baseball. And this time I mean it, on a global scale.
So are you ready for some baseball? I know I am.
Check it out. For baseball junkies like myself, another type of "madness" is about to set-off as the world prepares to tune into one of the greatest tournaments on the planet. Six-teen participating national teams spanning six continents will converge this month and compete in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. Hallelujah!
You feel me?
The tournament will feature 480 of the world's best baseball players and begin in Tokyo March 5 and conclude at Dodger Stadium on March 23. The entire opening round of the tournament will be hosted outside the U.S. Pool A (China, Chinese Taipei, Japan and Korea) will compete at the Tokyo Dome in Japan; Pool B (Australia, Cuba, Mexico and South Africa) at the Foro Sol Stadium in Mexico City; Pool C (Canada, Italy, United States and Venezuela) at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada; and Pool D (Dominican Republic, Netherlands, Panama and Puerto Rico) at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in san Juan, Puerto Rico.
San Diego's PETCO Park, the site of the Baseball's Classic 2006 games, will feature the four advancing teams from Pools A and B from March 15-19. Dolphin Stadium, home of the Florida Marlins, will host the four advancing from Pools C and D from March 14-18.
This year's Classic will finish off with semifinals and finals March 21-23 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, home to the organization that integrated baseball with the signing of Jackie Robinson back during the Brooklyn era.
"We are humbled and honored to be hosting the Championships of the 2009 World Baseball Classic," said Dodger owner Frank McCourt to www.mlb.com reporters. "It's a way to bring the world together to enjoy the game," he added. "We've always been participants in bringing the game of baseball to other parts of the world, and now we get to host the world at Dodger Stadium. It's kind of cool."
Three years ago, Japan beat Cuba, 10-6 in the final championship game. The U.S. finished 3-3 and was eliminated in the second round by Mexico in a 2-1 loss.
Some favorites this year expected to advance include ball clubs from the Dominican Republic, Japan, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico and the U.S.
"I think the United States is the team to beat," said Team USA manager Davey Johnson to sports reporters with Major League Baseball. "I think the attitude is that they have a big challenge in front, and they know it's not going to be just a cakewalk," said Johnson of his players.
In '06 Johnson said Team USA was not prepared causing back to back loses, not allowing the U.S. to advance to the semifinal.
"They're all fired up to represent the U.S. and they want to have a good showing," said Johnson who feels having early practice games before the Classic begins is a great step in the right direction.
"I think this club has a little more balance. We're not right-handed or left-handed. We've got a good balance there. We're not just home-run hitters. We have a lot of line-drive hitters and quality contact hitters," said Johnson. "They saw what happened a couple of years ago, and they don't want that to happen again. Nobody wants to go back early."
Some major league players on the U.S. roster include Derek Jeter, Ryan Braun, Jimmy Rollins, Roy Oswalt, Jake Peavy, Curtis Granderson, Dustin Pedroia, Mark DeRosa and Kevin Youkilis.
"We didn't play that well the last time around," said Yankee's All-Star third baseman Jeter to the New York Times. "You always want to improve. There's a lot of good teams there," he said.
Jeter added that when comparing teams there are subtle differences. Whereas the Latin American teams play with a lot of energy and Japan pays a lot more attention to fundamentals, he said. "But it's still the same game."
Jeter added that he is proud to represent the U.S. again.
"No question, you definitely have a sense of pride when you're wearing the uniform of your country," said Jeter. "It's something I wish everyone got the chance to experience."

Local real estate agent aims to find hope for veterans by selling homes
By: Steve Dent
BOISE, Idaho — Robert Farias is an army combat veteran who has deployed to Iraq, now he is making it his mission to help his fellow veterans who are struggling with mental health issues.
Farias is using his business, 22-0 Real Estate at Keller Williams to raise money that will go to local non-profit veterans groups in an effort to prevent suicide among veterans.
"Part of our goal this year is we want to help fifty new people buy or sell a home," said Farias. "This will put us at our goal of donating $25,000.
Farias will give $500 for every home that he sells this year but along with giving money to veterans group Farias also wants to spread the message using statistics for veteran suicides.
"We have 22 active duty and veterans die from suicide each day, that's one every 65 minutes," said Farias. "75 percent are not receiving any medical or mental health care and veterans have 22 percent higher risk of committing suicide compared to civilians."
Idaho has a large population of veterans and the state ranks in the top ten in the country when it comes to suicide deaths by veterans, Farias hopes to connect struggling veterans with local groups that can help.
"Hopefully this can reach the right people and hopefully they can reach out to another veteran or the veteran can reach out themselves and figure out that they can get help," said Farias.
There is a 24/7, 365 day veteran crisis hotline as well, the number is 800-273-8255, veterans can also text 838255 or go to their website .

Super Mario 3D World (Wii U) Review

Analyst, Software
In 2013, I started my Ziff Davis career as an intern on PCMag's Software team. Now, I'm an Analyst on the Apps and Gaming team, and I really just want to use my fancy Northwestern University journalism degree to write about video games. I host The Pop-Off, PCMag's video game show. I was previously the Senior Editor for Geek.com. I've also written for The A.V. Club, Kotaku, and Paste Magazine. I'm currently working on a book about the history of video games, and I'm the reason everything you think you know about Street Sharks is a lie.

Bursting with imagination and immensely satisfying to play, Super Mario 3D World feels like the culmination of everything the series has done so far.
$49.98 at Walmart
$57.06 Save $7.08
Lush, expansive HD worlds.
Overflowing with creative power-ups.
Nostalgic without being stuck in the past.
The best multiplayer in a Mario platformer yet.
Gamepad controls don't add much to the experience.
Doesn't feel quite as ambitious as past console Mario games.
Just when the Wii U($998.98 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) needed a hero, Mario has returned in Super Mario 3D World, the plumber's latest console outing. Don't confuse it with last year's 2D sidescroller New Super Mario Bros. U, though. In Super Mario 3D World, Mario platforms in all directions throughout intricately designed 3D environments. While it may not be quite as radical and revelatory as its Super Mario Galaxy predecessors, Super Mario 3D World is still the best proof yet of how nothing can touch this series when it's at the top of its game.
The Best of Both Mario Worlds
When Mario's old nemesis Bowser abducts the seven Sprixie princesses, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and the refreshingly not kidnapped Princess Peach hop from the Mushroom Kingdom to the Sprixie Kingdom using the mysterious, new clear pipes. As its slightly misleading title suggests, Super Mario 3D World's($49.98 at Walmart)(Opens in a new window) closest relative is 2011's Super Mario 3D Land($19.99 at GameStop)(Opens in a new window). But whereas the 3D in Super Mario 3D Land's name referred to the stereoscopic 3D visuals provided by the Nintendo 3DS, Super Mario 3D World's visuals are flat but gorgeous HD landscapes powered by the Wii U. Colors dazzle, characters animate with personality, and textures like grass and fur look tangible. Even the map screens, full of motion and background secrets, come alive.
Our Experts Have Tested 74 Products in the Games Category in the Past Year
The hardware upgrade gives more than just a visual boost though. Super Mario 3D World features huge, uncompromised playgrounds to run and jump through with flag poles so far in the distance players need in-game binoculars to see them. They dwarf Super Mario 3D Land's boxy, somewhat claustrophobic levels as well as Super Mario Galaxy's tiny planetoids. Like its portable sibling, Super Mario 3D World's ever-shifting level design casually blurs the line between 2D and 3D platforming, but the contrast between the open 3D sections and tight 2D challenges keeps the game fresh. Adding to the gameplay variety are the occasional Captain Toad levels where players must navigate a puzzle box without jumping. Cerebral and slower-placed, they offer a nice break from the more action-packed main game.
The larger levels are great settings for the game's four-player co-op/competitive mode, a first for a 3D Mario game. Between the stat-tracking (finally making scores relevant in a Mario game) and ability to steal crowns from the winning players, it's fun to see how quickly the game turns friends into enemies. However, the added freedom of movement makes this multiplayer more fun than the overly frantic past multiplayer Mario titles. Picking a character with a helpful unique ability, like Luigi's higher jump and Peach's floating skirt, also adds a little strategy.
Read Our Nintendo Wii U Review
Embarrassment of Riches
Super Mario 3D World's levels are inventive, brimming with secrets, and constantly keep players on their toes. But, the game's most creative moments come from its plethora of imaginative power-ups. Returning favorite like fire flowers and Tanooki suits are joined by new abilities that fundamentally change the way a Mario game is played. The player-multiplying double cherry specifically feels like it could sustain a whole game's worthy of new ideas all by itself. Kuribo's Shoe becomes Kuribo's Ice Skate while Yoshi is replaced with Plessie, a giant Plesiosaur to ride. Goomba disguises turn old Japanese dojos into stealth missions, light boxes bust ghosts Luigi's Mansion-style, boost pads complement the new multi-tiered dash ability, and the prominent cat suit adds verticality never before seen in a Mario game thanks to its adorable wall-climbing perks. There are so many great items that the game has an almost cavalier attitude towards them, throwing one out after its first few uses just so there's time to get to the next one. That way, players are left wanting more rather than thinking a particular skill has overstayed its welcome.
However, even with all of these new powers and approaches to level design, Super Mario 3D World mostly feels like a love letter to Mario's past. While there's an element to nostalgia to most everything Nintendo puts out these days, Super Mario 3D World's references run deep. Mario Kart, Super Mario Sunshine, and even one-shot villain Wart from Super Mario Bros. 2 all get subtle shout-outs. Beyond that, there also appear to be allusions to other classic Nintendo franchises like The Legend of Zelda's($19.99 at GameStop)(Opens in a new window) top-down dungeons and Donkey Kong Country's($17.99 at GameStop)(Opens in a new window) blasting barrels. Heck, even Nights into Dreams(Opens in a new window) fans can pretend that the game's frequent dark and spooky neon carnival levels are acknowledgements that game exists. However, Super Mario Galaxy fans bummed out by the game's more earth-bound nature will be the ones most pleasantly surprised by some late-game secrets.
Mario is Back
There are a few missteps here and there. Having to collect dozens of hidden green stars to progress hurts the pacing near the end and artificially lengthens an experience that's already plenty long and content-rich. The timer and lives system are weirdly unnecessary old-school holdovers that just limit enjoyable exploration, and later boss fights pale in comparison to Bowser ghost riding a pimpmobile in the game's opening battle. Meanwhile, the smattering of Wii U-specific features like blowing fans to move platforms, controlling the camera by tilting the controller, or touching the screen to reveal hidden pathways provide little extra fun. Off-screen play, better graphics, and sharing cute stamps online via Miiverse are the console's best contributions.
However, Super Mario 3D World's biggest but most nebulous flaw is how safe it feels overall. Like something truly out of this world, Super Mario Galaxy felt like the result of an insanely talented young team pushing themselves to the limits of their creative ambition. Even that game's story went off in bizarre directions that briefly made a Mario game almost touching and existential. Super Mario 3D World on the other hand looks like that same team used their gained experience to make a game that's more confident and self-assured but perhaps less risky, even when it comes to something like the good but less catchy orchestrated soundtrack.
Still, Super Mario 3D World stands as one of the finest, most well-realized Mario games yet making it an obvious Editor's Choice. For a franchise that so frequently and effortlessly embodies the best of what a video game can be, that's saying something.

The Pink Underbelly
A day in the life of a sassy Texas girl dealing with breast cancer and its messy aftermath
Topless Kate
Posted: September 18, 2012 | Author: pinkunderbelly | Filed under: breast cancer | Tags: body image after breast cancer, Chi magazine, Kate Middleton topless, psychological effects of breast cancer, reconstructed breasts, royal family, royal scandal, Tweets against Kate Middleton | 25 Comments
My first thought when I heard about the latest British Royal scandal was, poor Kate. The Duchess of Cambridge was busted by prying paparazzi while sunbathing topless in Provence. At a private residence. While not on official duty or fulfilling her role as a member of the royal family. What a shame. She seems like a smart girl who's got her stuff together. She's young, in love, and on holiday — who can blame her for enjoying the sun with her hubby in [supposed] private?
Closer magazine has been ordered to hand over the original photos to the royal family. Can you imagine the stodgy, never-smiling Queen having an envelope of these photos cross her desk? Yikes. Poor Kate.
Aurelien Hamelle, attorney for the royal couple, declared that the photos were a violation of Will & Kate's privacy. She was quoted as saying, "It is a scene of married life, intimate, personal, that has nothing to do on a magazine." I have to agree. Yes, she is a public figure, and yes she lives very much in the public eye and therefore must endure the barrage of photographers everywhere she goes. But why can't there be a moratorium on following and photographing while she's on vacation?
Yesterday, Closer's sister publication Chi published 26 pages of photos of William and Kate on vacation, including the topless pics. Chi's editor-in-chief Alfonso Signorini defended the decision to publish, saying, "It is a story worth publishing in an extraordinary edition because it shows in a natural light the everyday life of a very famous contemporary young couple in love."
Who's he think he's kidding? It's not about a famous couple in love, it's about Kate's breasts.
What a shame. And the fact that the pics used were ill-gained and taken in secret with a very long lens is especially shameful.
Even worse are those who are speaking out against Kate, saying it's her fault. If she didn't want nudie pics published, she shouldn't have taken off her top. A CNN blogger says "…it also creates a situation that requires common sense. Kate, unless you know for sure that no one else's prying eyes — or camera — will see you, don't sunbathe naked."
Donald Trump opened his big mouth and Tweeted, "Kate Middleton is great—but she shouldn't be sunbathing in the nude—only herself to blame. Who wouldn't take Kate's picture and make lots of money if she does the nude sunbathing thing. Come on Kate!"
Way to blame the victim, Donald. As if anyone gives a rip what he thinks.
Also Tweeting was teen actress Emma Roberts: "I LOVE Kate Middleton…but when you're A PRINCESS you shouldn't be topless anywhere except the shower or the bedroom." Thanks for that very valuable advice, Emma.
Kelly Osborne stood up for the Duchess, though, saying "The one thing that is hers is her body you know what I'm saying. Everything else belongs to the country."
In the midst of the firestorm that surrounds this topic, I can't help but think of myself and legions of other members of the Pink Ribbon Club. Radiated, surgically excised, and reconstructed breasts don't exactly lend themselves to topless sunbathing. Negative body images abound after a bout with breast cancer, and the idea of hanging the surviving girls out there, even in private, is not likely on many BC girls' list of favorite things to do. What a shame.
P.S. If you're planning on leaving a comment saying "who cares if the breasts have been radiated, sliced & diced, and reconstructed, we want to see them anyway" — don't. Just don't.

Springfield, Greene County, sheriff reach jail agreement, drop lawsuit
Alissa Zhu
Greene County leaders, Springfield council members and the sheriff announced Friday afternoon they have reached a long-awaited jail agreement.
It means a contentious two-year-old lawsuit between the city and county will be dropped.
It means the Greene County Sheriff's Office will begin to, once again, take responsibility for inmates arrested on municipal charges.
It means cash-strapped Greene County will ask voters to pass a sales tax hike in the coming months.
City and county officials have been working for two years in closed meetings to negotiate a way forward after they publicly butted heads over Sheriff Jim Arnott's decision to close the Greene County Jail to people arrested on municipal charges.
Together, they have created an addendum to a 1997 intergovernmental agreement, which was the basis of the lawsuit.
The details were announced during a surprise press conference held at the Public Safety Center at 2 p.m. Friday.
Mayor Ken McClure and Arnott hugged each other in front of photographers and TV cameras. Smiling Arnott was also photographed with his arm thrown around the shoulder of Springfield Police Chief Paul Williams.
The message was one of reunification and collaboration.
McClure said, "I'm pleased, on behalf of the city, to be part of this. It's been a long time coming but it was necessary to work through all of these issues."
Presiding Commissioner Bob Cirtin said, "When many people thought we were not doing anything, we were always doing something."
The new document calls for the Greene County Sheriff's Office to take over transporting Springfield inmates, up to 35 a day. The city of Springfield will continue paying another county to house municipal inmates for the time being.
If a sales tax hike is passed in Greene County, part of the revenue will be used to expand the jail. Within three years, the sheriff would begin guaranteeing 48 beds for Springfield inmates a day in the county jail at no additional cost.
If the city's level property tax renewal and a county sales tax hike are both approved by voters, the city will contribute $2 million over 10 years towards expanding the jail.
All parties will revisit the agreement regularly beginning in 2027. If a consensus can't be reached to continue or renegotiate the agreement, it will expire on December 31, 2037 and future proceeds from the 1997 law enforcement sales tax will be paid into a third-party escrow account until the parties execute a written extension agreement.
Friday morning, representatives from all parties requested for a judge in Rolla to approve the mutually agreed upon addendum. The judge signed a consent decree to effectively dismiss the lawsuit.
Cirtin emphasized that the agreement is only "a short-term fix."
"We can no longer apply a Band-Aid to this problem — to the rising inmate population and inadequate facilities that we have here in Greene County," Cirtin said. "We need a comprehensive approach that slows the growth of jail population."
Arnott said there were 796 inmates in the Greene County judicial system as of Friday. The local jail capacity is 601. He expects the average daily population to rise by 60 to 100 each year.
McClure spoke about the importance of looking at larger issues such as domestic violence, drug abuse, mental health and improving the efficiency of the criminal justice system.
Cirtin said more details of a jail study will be available next week saying jail size will need to be at least doubled.
The saga over the jail began two decades ago. Here's a timeline of events.
1997: The first county-wide Law Enforcement Sales Tax is passed by voters. It promises a new combined city and county jail as well as additional officers for Greene County and the city of Springfield.
1999: Construction begins on the new Greene County Jail. The oldest part of the previous jail — constructed in 1936 — is demolished.
2001: Jail construction is completed. The jail was originally built to hold 500 inmates. The fire code tops out capacity at 522. In general, the sheriff's office tries to keep jail capacity at no more than 545. When first planned, the jail was projected to meet the county's needs for 10 years.
November 2003: Jail population reaches capacity for first time.
December 2003: Jail population surpasses capacity for first time.
2008: Jail population exceeds 600.
2009 and 2010: The population returns to a daily average of 500.
2011 and 2012: Jail population again on the rise. The county pays $155,082 in 2011 and $139,620 in 2012 to hold inmates at other county jails.
Also in 2012: Voters pass a second Law Enforcement Sales Tax, which funds new jailers, among other staffing needs in the county's justice system.
December 2013: Although good signs come at the beginning of the year, jail hits new record in December: 717.
2014: Remodeled with available funds, the jail is able to squeeze in another 92 inmates. The jail routinely houses 600 to 640 inmates, with a few dozen housed at other jails in southwest Missouri — at a cost to the county.
January 2015: Sheriff Jim Arnott told the News-Leader the true long-term answer is an expansion of the jail but he acknowledged that solution was not financially realistic. "There are studies that show we really need a 1,200-bed jail," he said, which would be more than double the size of the current jail. "And we should be looking at expanding to 1,800."
April 2015: Sheriff Jim Arnott announced he will no longer accept people arrested on municipal charges. Arnott has said he would no longer release people arrested on serious crimes while the jail holds people on relatively minor municipal violations.
July 2015: The city sues Arnott and the county commission, arguing the sheriff broke the 1997 intergovernmental agreement that called for the county to house municipal inmates.
2016: The city allocated $500,000 for sending municipal inmates to other counties' jails and hiring private company Southern Missouri Judicial Services to transport them. The county spent about $950,000 on holding inmates at other several other county jails across Missouri.

Today, Now, an interior redesigner and home staging trainer, she has been in business for more than 16 years and says she's never been happier or more satisfied in her career.
That's why she offer a program for those who want to become more involved in the home redesign industry. The Agricola Redesign Training Specialists (ARTS) program uses a hands-on philosophy to provide fundamental knowledge about the process and principles of interior redesign and home staging.
In the ARTS program, students attend a combination of classroom sessions, hands-on application, visual aids, and student interaction. The ultimate goal of the classes is to enable students to build their own redesign and staging company, which is why class size is limited to an exclusive group of only four adults for each session.

Letter from Europe: Politicians must be braver
Energy's economic, geopolitical and climate challenges require the continent's decision-makers to step up
Sound demand for Moroccan gas
AIM-listed E&P firm Sound Energy is bullish about the fuel's future, both domestically and potentially for export
Outlook 2023: Eye of the storm
The worst may yet be to come for European and global gas markets
Global gas market
Natural Gas markets Gas Europe
Neil Beveridge
Amid the violence of a hurricane, the eye of the storm offers some temporary respite. This is perhaps a good analogy of where we are with global gas and LNG markets.
With LNG spot and European gas prices having surged to more than $70/mn Btu (equivalent to more than $400/bl) earlier this year, international LNG prices have now fallen by 50pc, to c.$30/mn Btu. While this is good news for gas consumers, it would be wrong to think the global gas crisis is over.
The seeds of the current crisis were planted well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The buildout of Australian and US LNG in the mid-to-late 2010s precipitated a global glut of LNG supply by the end of the decade. It was only recently, in the summer of 2020, that LNG prices touched historic lows of $2/mn Btu, threatening the viability of many projects.
Gas market oversupply, coupled with decline in investment in oil and gas projects by global oil majors, has resulted in a scarcity of new LNG projects coming to the market, which will not end anytime soon. This comes at a time when the Russian invasion of Ukraine has removed 80pc of Russian exports to Europe, or c.120bn m³/yr of supply, creating a gaping chasm in global gas supply that is not easily filled.
Price cure
Extreme shortages of gas in Europe have so far been prevented by record gas prices, which have pulled available LNG cargoes into Europe—amounting to c.50bn m³—and the replacement of gas with coal in Asia, which has resulted in sharply lower gas imports and the first year of negative gas demand growth in China in living memory. The ability to rebuild gas inventories to normal levels ahead of the winter heating season has likely averted a serious gas crisis in Europe this winter and resulted in the pullback of gas and LNG prices.
But the outlook for 2023 still looks worrying for gas buyers. As gas inventories are depleted over the coming winter months, the question is how to restock them for winter 2023–24. The Nord Stream 1 pipeline was only shut down in September—a full year's absence makes next year far more precarious from the supply side. Unless Europe has an exceptionally mild winter and exits the season with swollen gas inventories, next year's supply-demand deficit could be materially larger. Moreover, with very little (<10mn t/yr) of new liquefaction capacity coming online next year or even in 2024, there is no LNG cavalry riding to the rescue in the imminent future.
Twin drivers
Aside from global economic growth, two factors will shape the outlook for gas markets in 2023. The first is the Russia-Ukraine war. Continuation of the conflict will result in gas supply to Europe being significantly curtailed for next year.
While this is most likely the base case, we believe there are grounds for optimism. The war is clearly not going well on the ground for Russia, and it is possible it could end next year. Whether Europe would agree to buy gas from Russia after the cessation of the conflict is not clear, notwithstanding the damage to Nord Stream 1.
A gaping chasm in global gas supply that is not easily filled
We assume that Europe, with few other options in the short term, will have to be pragmatic and that gas would flow again from Russia to Europe, albeit at reduced volumes. The hesitancy of European utilities to buy long-term, 20-year LNG from either the US or Qatar in significant volumes might also suggest a belief that Russian supply could come back at some point.
The second factor is whether China emerges from its zero-Covid policies and starts to demand higher quantities of energy. In 2022, China's LNG imports declined by an unprecedented 20pc. This was partly due to high European prices, which diverted spot LNG cargoes from Asia back into the Atlantic basin, but it was also due to a collapse in industrial demand in China.
If China lifts its zero-Covid policies and industrial demand starts to grow, then it will start to compete with Europe for additional LNG cargoes. Already, we have seen the Chinese government ban the resale of LNG cargoes heading into this winter, which could exacerbate the LNG supply crunch if extended into the new year.
From our optimistic perspective, we believe an end to the Russia-Ukraine war and an end to China's zero-Covid policies will take place sometime in 2023. However, if the conflict does not end until later in the year, it could still result in another significant uptick in gas and LNG prices as buyers in Europe fret about the possibility of gas supply shortages for winter 2023–24. As such, we believe that gas and LNG prices could remain elevated for much of 2023 and another upcycle is likely.
Planting seeds
But this will not last forever. Gas and LNG has been and will always be a highly cyclical market. An end to the Russia-Ukraine war could result in the resumption of some Russian gas flows into Europe by 2024. By 2025, a new wave of LNG will reach the market as Qatar, Canada and the US start up new liquefaction projects, providing relief to markets.
What the longer-term repercussions of the Russian invasion of Ukraine mean for gas markets remains to be seen, but there are some key conclusions. Firstly, we will mostly likely need more rather than fewer LNG projects. The US and Qatar look well placed.
Secondly, Russia will have to pivot towards the east. While Europe may choose to reduce its dependence on Russian gas, China and India will become critical end-markets for oil, gas and LNG.
Finally, energy security will play a far greater role than it has in the past. For most of the world, the volatility in LNG prices will likely promote a faster push away from fossil fuels and into low-carbon energy—solar, wind, hydrogen and lithium-ion batteries. This will take time, but the seeds of this new shift in energy are being planted.

Everything is in place: the table is beautifully appointed, the chef and waitstaff are at the ready, and the host has ushered the guests to their tables. The diners order drinks, and the cloth-lined basket of baked goods is set before them. The first bite of one of the simplest and least expensive food items—bread—sets the tone of everything to follow. Manhattan's Amy Scherber, owner of the ten-year-old Amy's Breads, believes that serving artisan breads makes a statement about quality and good taste, even in the most casual restaurant. When the roll is cracked open or a piece of bread is split, the customer can smell the wonderful fragrance and savor the taste and texture. This, says Scherber, "excites the senses and whets the appetite for the exciting dishes to come."
Scherber sells a full line of artisan organic breads and rolls and many nonorganic selections through wholesale and at retail shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Her signature bread is a semolina loaf dotted with golden raisins and fennel, and her black olive twist is a hot commodity among local restaurateurs. "Nonartisan-style breads may cost less," she points out, "but they also broadcast the message that the restaurateur—or the chef—does not value this part of the menu." True, artisan rolls and breads can start at $.35 to $3.75, versus the $.24 and $1.50 of nonartisan rolls and breads, but, as Scherber says, "Artisan breads should be viewed as a reputation builder that can increase profitability in due time."
Georgia restaurateurs Chris and Michele Sedgewick supply their three restaurants—Van Gogh's, Aspens Signature Steaks, and Vinny's—with sourdough, whole wheat sourdough, ciabatta, and focaccia from their own bakery, Theo's Brother's Bakery. As Michelle explains, "We realized we were spending so much money on bread that we knew we could do better. . . so why not do it ourselves and benefit both ways?" All of the Sedgewicks' restaurants are within a ten-mile radius of the bakery, so it's an easy and profit-building transition from diner to a bakery patron. In all three restaurants the waitstaff is trained to market the breads and the bakery, and palm cards are an additional marketing tool. Michelle continues, "The dining public at our restaurants really appre-ciates the high-quality artisan breads and recognizes their role in the overall excellence of the fine-dining experience."
The pricing of bread currently falls into what Melba Fer-nandez of McCormick & Schmick's in Redondo Beach, California, calls the "Q Factor." This category also includes ketchup, steak sauce, salt, and pepper, and a minimal cost for each is figured into the cost of each dish on the menu. Robert Wemischner, a chef and baking instructor at Los Angeles Trade Tech, cautions that bread may be a minor part of the meal, but it's not a minor expense. The industry average for bread is about $1 per person, spread over the cost of the entire meal. This allows for the considerable amount of loss due to stale-ness and consumer waste. But. Wemischner notes, the cost of bread should not exceed more than 25 percent of the retail value.
It was once the custom for restaurants to charge a "bread and butter fee," but this system went out of fashion many years ago. Now that more attention is being paid to the quality of the bread, Wemischner suggests reinstating this fee. He comments, "Not only would it be a workable way for the bread to 'pay for itself,' it would prevent a great deal of waste."
Michael Cimarusti, chef of L.A.'s contemporary seafood restaurant the Water Grill, agrees that bread is a considerable cost, but he is able to use the overstock for other dishes. For the 2,000 to 2,500 diners served per week at the Water Grill, Cimarusti spends about $1,200 to $1,500 on bread, which is factored into the $1 per person charge for "other" menu costs, such as linens, breakage, and condiments.
Where there is bread, there must be yeast, flour, and water. Baker and grain consultant Thom Leonard of Heartland Mills—a Kansas-based, farmer-owned seller of fine grains and flours—says, "It's a mistake to think that only the flour or the yeast or the water are what count. Making fine bread is about processing; it's the • fermentation of the yeast and the skill of the baker that create a great loaf of bread."
For Kate Buccigross and Valerie Forburg of the Portland, Ore-gon, restaurant-bakery Il Fornaio, the only equipment is a mixer, and baking bread is still a three-day affair. Italian bread, which tends to be chewier and darker than French, begins in Fornaio's kitchen with a starter mixture of flour, water, and fresh compressed yeast. They don't use butter or salt, both of which can make the yeast rise out of control. The mixture is left overnight, and the following day they mix the dough, allowing it to rise for another day. On the third day they bake the dough. "We only use the traditional Italian bread-baking methods," Buccigross reports. "It takes time, but is worth it." Buccigross and Forburg go through about 750 pounds of flour every three days, which is typical for a small bakery.
From a base of 14 breads, Ii Fornaio introduces different breads each month to match their regional menus. Rosemary bread is offered all year long, and other pop-ular breads include potato and parsley, Farmer's Market Uva (a dense raisin bread), and ciabatta (Italian for "shoe sole"), a flat, dusty white bread perfect for sand-wiches or for dipping in oil and vinegar. Since Ii Fornaio is part restaurant and part bakery, diners can take home the breads they've enjoyed.
Although there are myriad ethnic types of loaves, rolls, and flat-breads, white and wheat bread are still the two main choices. Superior examples of Italian and French white breads—such as baguettes and loaves, ciabattis and hard rolls—are widely avail-able. The braided sweet challah is no longer the province of Jewish bakers, and it's a popular source for French toast and other sweet-bread dishes. Sweet Easter breads, once the sea-sonal offering of Greek and Italian bakers, are also available year-round.
With the inclusion of more international cuisine on restaurant menus, today's chef can experiment with Middle Eastern pitas, lavash, and flatbreads; multigrain peasant breads; English crumpets; and Indian chapatis and rotis. And you can purchase everything from fruit and nut breads made with raisins, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, cranberries, and dates, to breads dotted with olives, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, or potatoes.
Artisan breads are essentially used in the same way as conven-tional breads, but because they are fresher, have more substantial texture, and are chewier, they are a great complement to any dish. Try using a fresh French brioche cored under the knob and stuffed with foie gras; making toast points from a French baguette and serving with caviar; or cutting rounds from an Italian white bread, toasting them, and assembling a tomato-and-garlic-soaked bruschetta. Or for alternatives to the afternoon sandwich, consider fruit and nut breads with cream cheese, savory cheese breads with slices of Roma tomatoes, kalamata olive bread with eggplant "caviar," or rosemary (or other herb) bread with creamy Danish butter. Serve entrée-style salads with Parmesan-toasted multi-grain bread, potato bread, seeded baguettes, savory dried tomato and onion bread, or garlic bread made from unbleached white bread.
Caveat: Artisan breads must be eaten the day they are bought because they do not contain chemical or natural preservatives. But certainly, a chef can make bread crumbs, bread pudding, soups, or other dishes with the leftovers.
Summing up the allure of artisan breads, Buccigross says, "The choices for both restaurateurs and home chefs are legion. Once someone tastes an artisan bread, they have the same reaction: 'This is what bread should be."

Dallas house where Oswald lived to go up for sale
By JAMIE STENGLEMay 31, 2013 GMT
In this May 15, 2013 photo, Patricia Hall holds a photograph of her grandmother, Gladys Johnson, while standing in the 5-by-14 room that Lee Harvey Oswald rented in 1963 at her family's boarding house in Dallas. Oswald stayed at the red brick house with white trim during the week while working his new job at the Texas School Book Depository, and on the weekends he returned to the suburb of Irving where his wife lived.

DALLAS (AP) — A small nook off a dining room with just enough space for a twin bed has made a Dallas boarding house a point of fascination for the last 50 years, because of one man who occupied it for about six weeks in 1963: Lee Harvey Oswald.
The house has been in Patricia Hall's family since about 1942, but she has decided that it's finally time to let it go — as long as a buyer wants to preserve it and offers the right price for the onetime home of the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy.
"I understand the significance of the history of this house," said Hall, 61. "It doesn't matter if you believe in a conspiracy or the lone gunman. The fact is that Lee Harvey Oswald lived here."
Oswald rented the 5-by-14 foot room on Oct. 14, 1963, from Hall's grandmother, Gladys Johnson. He stayed at the red brick house with white trim during the week while working his new job at the Texas School Book Depository, and on the weekends he returned to the suburb of Irving where his wife lived.
Oswald briefly returned to the house on Nov. 22, 1963, about 30 minutes after Kennedy was fatally shot in downtown Dallas. Johnson's housekeeper told the Warren Commission that Oswald hurriedly entered, grabbed a jacket and headed back out into the neighborhood. Soon after, Oswald fatally shot Officer J.D. Tippit, then was arrested at the Texas Theatre.
Hall said her grandmother, an admirer of Kennedy, was crushed by her connection to Oswald.
"My grandmother was very embarrassed and humiliated that her home would be associated with someone that would do something like that. She began getting death threats. She received a lot of hate mail," Hall said.
But Johnson also refused to vilify Oswald, known to her as O.H. Lee, who kept his $8-a-week room tidy and was even granted refrigerator access.
"She would only be true to what her observations were," Hall said.
Fay Puckett, Hall's mother, ran the boarding house after Johnson's death. Neither matriarch ever wanted to indulge sightseers, but Puckett did allow Oliver Stone to film scenes for his 1991 movie "JFK" there.
Not long after her mother's death in 2008, Hall started letting people in to see the room, displaying a donation box to help with restorations.
"People are curious. They want to see where he lived. They want to see how he lived," Hall said.
Hall said she's been considering selling the house for years, but decided the time was right as this year marks the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination in downtown Dallas. And with the historical event in the forefront of people's mind, she said she hopes the timing helps get the best price possible.
The 50th anniversary has been gaining attention in recent months as everyone from museum curators to musicians have embarked on projects to remember the event. The city of Dallas will hold a commemoration Nov. 22 in Dealey Plaza, where Kennedy's motorcade was passing as shots rang out.
"I decided if there was going to be a right time, this was the right time," she said.
David Preziosi, executive director of Preservation Dallas, said the home is "part of the whole story of what happened that day.
"We think it's pretty significant in terms of telling the story of the assassination," Preziosi said.
The house in the Oak Cliff neighborhood just southwest of downtown Dallas has four bedrooms and one bathroom on its main floor and five bedrooms and one bathroom in a basement. There's also a two-story garage apartment with eight bedrooms and two bathrooms. The list price of the house, built in 1935, will be disclosed when it goes on the market Saturday.
Hall, a seventh-grader when Kennedy was assassinated, can remember Oswald breaking up a fight between her brothers in the front yard of the house.
"He separated them and sat them down on the porch and sat between them and said, 'I want to tell you something and I want you to listen to me. You are brothers and you have to look out for each other, you have to love and never do anything that would harm another human being,'" Hall said.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a paragon of humility and saintly selflessness...said no one ever.
Nope, boxing's pay-per-view king has yet to make his 180-degree turn from being the champion of worldly swaggering. During a night-out last Sunday in Los Angeles, TMZ's paparazzi crew caught up with him at a gas station where he regaled the reporters with an impromptu exhibition of his cars.
On this single night, he and his crew had apparently taken out his Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ($4.8 million) and the relatively more affordable Rolls-Royce Phantom ($400,000), Rolls-Royce Drophead coupe ($500,000), and his Bentley Mulsanne ($300,000) for a ride. What was the special occasion? They caught the Los Angeles Lakers - Washington Wizards NBA game at the Staples Center. Maybe Floyd was overcompensating for a rather insignificant regular season game.
To top it all off, Money May also made sure to tell the TMZ guys about his watch, which costs a cool $2 million.
With this kind of lifestyle, how long will Mayweather's riches last? Forever, if his claim that he's currently making seven figures a month thanks to "smart investments" is true.
