BAND STAND by Merlin Williams I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE to play in some pretty good bands iri my time, but I had the opportunity last month to hear what is quite possibly one of the best bands in the world. I went to Fairfax VA for the annual 27th Annual U.S. Navy Saxophone Symposium·. The Navy band played a concert' on the Friday night with guest soloist Eugene Rousseau. The saxophone solos were excellent, but it was the numbers the band played on their own that.really caught my attention. ·The balance, !One and dynamic range of the group was superb. Since saxophones were the featured instrument for the weekend, when the band played Stars and Stripes Forever, the saxophone section played the first strain of the piccolo obbligato section a cappella. The band also performed a piece entitled "Ghost Train", . which I've encountered before on disc. This was the first time I've heard it live, and it was wonderfully evocative. LONG & McQuADE's "Heart of the Hom" clinic series is running again this month. All of the clinics take place in the seminar rooms above the keyboard at Long & McQuade's Bloor & Ossington location. Paµ! Brodie, the, most recorded concert saxophonist in history returns on Feb. 7 with popular "Helpful Hints for Saxophonists" clinic . . One of Canada's jazz pioneers, both as performer and educator, Phil Nimmons is presenting a clinic entitled "Extreme Clarinet" on Feb. 14. This would be great opportunity for concert band clarinet players who need some stylistic guidance for playing jazz influenced pieces. Phil is a master of the upper register of Eugene Rousseau the·clarinet too, and happy to share some of the secrets of playing well into the stratosphere. Gordon Wolfe; Associate Principal Trombonist of the TSO is doing a session entitled "Good Habits vs. J?ad Habits" on Feb. 21. Come on down and find out if your practice routine is making you better or worse! The last clinic in the series i_s on February 28th, and it's a Jupiter Product Session. Alex Kt,mdakcioglu (Brass) and Merlin Williams (Woodwinds) will be on hand to answer questions; participants are encourage to bring their mouthpieces and try out the Jupiter product line.

By NDINAWE SIMPELWE in Marrakech, Morocco –
CHIPOLOPOLO coach Wedson Nyirenda has rallied his troops to up their game in the quarterfinals after a sloppy display that saw the team held to a 1-1 draw by the Brave Warriors of Namibia in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) group B encounter on Monday.
With that result, Zambia avoided hosts Morocco for a quarter-final date and will instead face Sudan on Saturday after finishing top of the group.
Nyirenda said in an interview that Namibia had taught Zambia a lesson that there was no plain sailing at the tournament as games would continue to get tougher.
"We are going to meet Sudan in Marrakech, not an easy game once more. Every game that we have played has not been easy. We need to improve because today my players were complacent. Sudan is a good team but we will prepare for them," Nyirenda said.
He however, commended his lads for showing a winning character despite not playing well and conceding a poorly defended free-kick on 12 minutes.
Nyirenda said the character shown by the team was encouraging because having a winning mentality was important at such a tournament.
He admitted that Chipolopolo was shocked with the way Namibia played and was happy the team fought back after going down.
Zambia conceded in the 12th minute but was level in the 24th minute through Lazarous Kambole's second goal of the tournament.
"My players were very complacent and thought it was going to be an easy game. We were shocked in the first half, Namibia got the goal first but we reacted and came with an equaliser. One thing I can say about the team is that they have shown a lot of character that they want to win despite all the difficulties that we are getting into at times," he said.
He further said the objective still remains the same of winning the tournament.
And Namibia coach Ricardo Manetti said his players were motivated to top the group and return to the tourist town Marrakech which everyone had fallen in love with.
He said Namibia showed that they cannot always play defensively as they attacked against Zambia and was unlucky not to win the match.
"We showed that we can play different football. The first two games were about the result and getting out of the group. Tonight we showcased that we can play good football and the team is strong. We dealt better with ball possession." Manetti said.
He said it does not matter who the Brave Warriors faced in the quarterfinal because the players were motivated to beat any opposition.
He further said facing Morocco was a good thing because the team was tired of playing in an empty stadium.
"Now that we know that we are playing Morocco, I do not think that we should be under any pressure, the stadium is going to be packed (80, 000).
"My players are going to enjoy the occasion, they will love it. We are tired of playing in empty stadiums, we deserve playing in the quarter-finals and we deserve to play before a full stadium," Manetti said.

The key characteristic for the successful integration of new generation within the electrical grid is planning. The complexities involved with the inter-related components of the power system requires detailed analysis and models to quantify specific attributes in the electric footprint. The models are then evaluated and thoroughly assessed to determine how the system reacts to real-world conditions with various change. Hence, the models are an important asset in the planning process. The system analysis that formulates the basic upgrade of the generations and transmission entails integrated econometric linear-programming based models, which includes statistical analysis, optimization, simulation, and the calculus of variations. The major function of the system models is to provide detailed analysis of a proposed modification and prescribe specific alternative solutions – typically addressed by multi-criteria decision methodologies (Kendall & Kendall, 1994). The optimization process in generation capacity planning (expansion) and a utility integrated resource plan, for example, is a non-linear process, integer, stochastic, and multi-objective optimization problem designed to minimize cost and maximize reliability. The integrated resource planning considers a full-range of feasibility supply-side and electrical demand-side options and evaluates each against a common set of objectives. The paradigm provides an opportunity for system planners to address complex issues in an inclusive, structured, and seemingly transparent method. The techniques utilized tend to be more diagnostic than prognostic in most cases where the health of the system is described but not necessarily how to cure it. Nevertheless, the primary objective of integrated resource planning from an electrical utility perspective is to develop a least-cost alternative (plan) that can meet the customer-energy service requirements and environmental improvements. Planning is an important tenet in the renewable energy generation implementation process. It was espoused by one of the early leaders in America who once said:
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. (Benjamin Franklin ~ 1706 - 1790)
When the selected generator system integration plan is agreed upon by the stakeholders, an intensive evaluation is conducted based on the electrical impact within the proposed footprint. The plan, or request, then enters a queue for deeper analysis of the system, for impact studies typically at the regional Independent Service Operator facility. The major problems encountered at this level are "request queue overload," where most plans are insufficient financially and deficient in resources. The queue quickly becomes backlogged as higher-priority transmission and distribution (T&D) projects are evaluated over the generation requests. The integrated resource plan requires detailed analysis based on realistic scenarios of the electrical footprint (economic conditions, electricity prices by group, tourism, etc.) as well as the proposed generator parameters. The restructuring of the system impact study firstly lien the input of the acceptable plans to evaluate, and secondly, with the implementation of a "time-phase" analysis system that relieves the burden experienced within the queue itself. Both propositions are cost-effective measures designed to increase request throughput and reduce cycle time.

The Office of Study Abroad is thrilled to announce the launch of our new website, global.tulane.edu/osa!If you're reading this, you probably already know about the website (since we're on the website and everything...), but I'm hear to talk about some of the great features we've been able to add. The new homepage features student experiences, in the form of videos, blog entries and feeds from our social media pages. We've also expanded the information we provide to students as they move through the study abroad experience, as they think about study abroad as prospective students, as they go through the experience in their international location and once they come home. Whether looking to reintegrate back into campus life or figure out how to go back abroad, our Returned Study Abroad Students section provides more informaiton than ever before!
We have also worked to develop our page on Intercultural Learning, and will continue to share resources on the changes students may experience and lessons they may learn while they are studying abroad. One of our intercultural learning initiatives this year has been to bring in and train a group of OSA Peer Advisors, 5 amazing Tulane seniors who have all gone through the undergraduate study abroad experience. They've gone through the research and application process to find a study abroad program, dealt with the ups and downs of culture shock and successfully come back into their lives on campus. They each work in our office and serve as a resource to Tulane underclassmen who are interested in embarking on a similar international adventure!
Finally, we have relaunched OSA Global, our application site. Students use this page to research programs, make advising appointments and apply to study abroad. Our hope is that the site is user-friendly and informative! As a companian to this programs page, we hope that prospective students will utilize the resources on global.tulane.edu/osa to think about how to select a program! This Selecting a Program page now has many different resources, including major guides, to help students prepare for advising appointments and do their research on study abroad options.
We hope you enjoy our new website. Keep in mind it is a work in progress! We welcome feedback at email@example.com! If there is a feature you'd like to see, don't hesitate to let us know.

Antiquated IT systems are soaking up federal technology dollars and creating risks for both bureaucrats and citizens, the GAO reported last week. More than 75 percent of the federal IT budget in 2015 went toward the operation and maintenance of nearly obsolete legacy systems that use outdated software languages and unsupported hardware parts. "Such spending has increased over the past seven fiscal years, which has resulted in a $7.3 billion decline from fiscal years 2010 to 2017 in development, modernization, and enhancement activities."

I've been delving into HD audio recently. Thus far only 48khz, but will make the dip to a higher end DAC, and a USB turntable for encoding HD flacs soon.
I wanted to hear about peoples experienced with HD audio system. Preferences for DACs, vinyl, studio masters, HD audio online sites, amplifiers, speaker set ups. What you think of the sound differences versus 320 kbps or regular flac.
Bit of a new area for me, and I think in general, I'd love to hear from some of the audiophiles for whom this is already familiar ground :)

Photographer Uses His Own Nude Body To Create Surreal Worlds. Arno Raffael Minkkinen, a photographer based on the East Coast in the U.S., has spent the last 40 years creating surreal self-portrait photos in which his nude body becomes an element of the landscapes that surround him.
Behance. Look Through The Eyes Of Famous Artists. During a trip longer than 4,000 miles, I visited twenty-two cities, three countries and ten great masters in roughly three months; I have then decided to conclude this research with a series, to tell their surprising, funny and unbelievable tales thanks to ten pictures as seen from the artists' point of view, allowing us to witness with their own eyes as if we could record that particular moment with one single snap.
From the North of Italy, across France, from the North of Spain to Costa Brava, I've travelled in search of places, food, people and colors that inspired the works of artists like Cezanne, Van Gogh, Goya, Dalì and many more, visiting their cities and rebuilding anecdotes of their lives. I went over the places where they have walked, lived and created, tracing their history through the people who knew them, close relatives, or just locals who were able to pass their adventures by word of mouth.

Untitled Jan Elaine For Pentimento, New York City-based photographer Tirzah Brott tracks down older ladies as they pass by on the streets of Manhattan and Beverly Hills, following in the wake of classic perfume and a flurry of tweed coats.
Although the photographer was initially inspired by notions of vanity and faded youth, she soon discovered that something far more glittering and fine lay within the glamorous older women she encountered.

The Delightfulness of Playgrounds, As Seen from Above. Designs for a tarot deck celebrating black stars and overseen by Jodorowsky. It's hard to resist any project that involves a tarot Tina Turner and surrealist filmmaking legend Alejandro Jodorowsky.
And so we present the Black Power Tarot, a deck of tarot cards illustrated by Belfast-based graphic designer Michael Eaton. The deck is based on the Tarot De Marseille but is made up of black musicians, comedians, activists and people of note, and was created by the musician King Khan. In a rather incredible twist, the project was overseen by Alejandro Jodorowsky, whose son is friends with King Khan. Big names aside, the pack is a triumph, showing an illustration sensibility that works superbly for its purpose with striking colours and defined line work.

Andy Warhol's Celebrity Polaroids Are Better Than Your Instagrams. Advertisement People document everything these days.

It may seem like a recent phenomenon, but Andy Warhol was an anomalous life logger in the 1960s, endlessly snapping Polaroids of the celebrities buzzing around him. Lens.blogs.nytimes. Surf pictures are traditionally studies in motion — a figure in the spray of a cutback or under the curl of a jewel-toned barrel.
But Joni Sternbach, who has spent the last nine years making large-format tintype photographs of surfers on beaches around the globe, is after something different: a kind of ethnographic study in stillness, silvery portraits of a tribe united by a sense of adventure, the love of a sport and a connection to the ocean.
"I feel that surfers are closer to their primordial past," she said. "There's a spirit of freedom involved with the act of surfing and it's incredibly appealing. They are the people who just get out there and do it every time." To see the full article, subscribe here. Film Producer. Delicate Pencil Lead Sculptures Carved by Salavat Fidai.

And it works basically the same way: with six cards, each of which tumbles over itself to reveal a given character or number. The main distinction is the information it displays.

Austin, Texas has always been the home to good music.
If I started a list I could go on & on & the most obvious thing about it would be the many more bands & artists that I left off: from the days of Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen & Roky Erickson to Charlie Sexton & Jimmie Dale Gilmore; alternative bands like Butthole Surfers, Spoon, or the Pain Teens; well-knowns like the Asylum Street Spankers, Double Trouble, Christopher Cross, Shawn Phillips, or Omar & the Howlers; on & on.
The 80s alternative sound in Austin was an inspiration to many younger musicians & groups. Many of the bands on this compilation are familiar to us, some are not, but there should be something here for everyone, so give it a listen & maybe let me know who you like & why...maybe I can feature some of their work.
I you like more mainstream start with Side A, if you like more hardcore craziness try Side Z first, but it's all good.
Various Artists - Bands on the Block, Matako Mazuri Records MM#3, 1985.

In honor of Stony Brook Southampton announcing their groundbreaking new Audio Podcast Fellows program—the first of its kind in the nation—now is great time to bone up on the wonderful world of podcasting and why the school created such a program.
A portmanteau combining the words iPod and broadcast, the podcast name was introduced in 2004 when journalist Ben Hammersley coined it in an article about the new medium for Britain's The Guardian newspaper. The now ubiquitous word was quickly picked up as the go-to for describing what former MTV veejay Adam Curry and software developer Dave Winer put into motion—the idea of producing audio broadcasts, like radio shows, to be downloaded as files and played at a listener's convenience on devices such as the iPod.
During the 14 years since then, podcasting has grown to be a significant form of media. According to The Economist, in October 2017, an Edison Research survey found that 67 million Americans over the age of 12 listen to podcasts monthly, while 42 million listen weekly. Meanwhile, those listeners attracted some $200 million in advertising last year, as projected by Bridge Ratings, according to niemanlab.org. Apple's iTunes—the most popular platform for podcasts—had more than 10 billion downloads and streams in 2016, niemanlab.org also reports, which was up from just 8 billion in 2015. And that number will almost certainly continue to grow.
Podcasting is not going away, and if you're not already listening, today is as good a time as any to get started. To that end, we've put together a list of 10 fantastic podcasts covering a variety of genres. Give these a listen or peruse iTunes and find something more to your fancy. But be warned, there are tons of podcasts out there and many aren't worth your time.
10 Fantastic Podcasts for New Listeners
1. WTF with Marc Maron – Hosted by comedian Marc Maron, this weekly, long form interview podcast helped set the bar for the medium. Maron interviews everyone from famous (and not so famous) comedians, to actors, musicians, authors and even President Barack Obama with authenticity, humor and depth. Past guests and must-listen episodes include Obama, Keith Richards, Louis CK, Gallagher, Terry Gross and others.
2. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History – Each episode or multi-part series of episodes plumbs far into the depths of its particular subject in an insightful, entertaining and accessible style not often associated with such well-researched, historical fare. Carlin spends many months on his topics and cites sources diligently throughout. Start with Ghosts of the Ostfront, Carlin's nearly six-hour exploration of the Easters Front in World War II, or Prophets of Doom, a mad story of murderous preachers taking over the German city of Munster in the wake of Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation. These are dense podcasts and not necessarily suited for those in search of light laughs or easy listening. Another history podcast worth hearing: Revolutions with Mike Duncan.
3. Serial – Produced by the crew from NPR's This American Life (also a great podcast) and hosted by Sag Harbor's Sarah Koenig, this weekly (every other week in Season 2) investigative journalism podcast captured America's attention and helped bring podcasting to the fore with its first season that sought to solve the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, an 18-year-old Baltimore, Maryland high school student. Lee's boyfriend, Adnan Masud Syed, was arrested for the crime, but his first trial ended in a mistrial. He was convicted with a life sentence in the second trial in 2000, though Syed pleaded his innocence throughout. Serial examines the crime and Syed's possible innocence in a series of episodes, including interviews with Syed and many others. Season 2 looks at the case of U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was held for five years by the Taliban and later charged with desertion.
4. SModcast – Just two guys talking, this seminal podcast featuring filmmaker Kevin Smith and his longtime friend and producer Scott Mosier is always good for a laugh—sometimes leaving listeners doubled over with deep, belly shaking guffaws. The two hosts speak completely unfiltered, and often crassly, about current events and whatever comes to mind, really. It's not for everyone, but SModcast makes the list because it's another classic in the medium. Smith so enjoyed his weekly conversations that the show led him to focus less on making films and more on recording podcasts. He's since launched S.I.R. (Smodco Internet Radio), an entire network of popular podcasts with shows such as Hollywood Babble-On, Jay & Silent Bob Get Old, Fatman on Batman, Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! and others.
5. How Did This Get Made? – This weekly podcast looks at cinema's worst films as hosts Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas deconstruct and mock them. It's full of funny and quick-witted barbs, often going scene by scene with films such as Street Fighter, Spider-Man 3, Gigli, The Wicker Man, Leprechaun: In the Hood and many, many more.
6. The Daily – On a more serious note, The New York Times' morning news podcast, hosted by Michael Barbaro, looks at each day's new with sharp, intelligent reporting. When you don't have time to read the paper or watch the news in clips on YouTube, this is an excellent alternative. If we're being honest, it's almost preferable.
7. My Dad Wrote a Porno – While certainly NOT intelligent and insightful in the same way as The Daily or Hardcore History—and for ADULTS ONLY—this UK-based podcast may just be the funniest show currently produced in any medium, period. Each week host Jamie Morton, joined by his pals James Cooper and Alice Levine, reads a chapter from Belinda Blinks, a raunchy and poorly written erotic novel written by none other than Morton's father, a retired builder from Northern Ireland who goes by the name of Rocky Flintstone. Need we say more?
8. The Tim Ferriss Show – Hosted by Springs native, Four-Hour Workweek author and lifestyle guru Tim Ferriss, this business podcast features interviews with exceptional people in all sectors. Guests such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tony Robbins, Jamie Foxx, Malcolm Gladwell, Vince Vaughn, Rick Rubin, Laird Hamilton, Richard Branson and many others discuss their tactics, tools and routines that helped them find success.
9. The Truth – Every list of podcasts needs at least one fiction entry, and The Truth is a masterful anthology series of dramatic audio stories. The show tells single-episode stories as well as multi-part yarns with titles such as "Mall Santa," "The Polybius Conspiracy," "Influencers" and "A Drop in the Ocean." Directed and sound designed by Jonathan Mitchell, The Truth offers excellent drama with many actors from NYC's Magnet Theater.
10. The Moth Radio Hour – Among the best-known storytelling podcasts, The Moth features re-issued episodes of NPR's popular show as well as other stories from their vast archive. These true tales are all over the map, from the heartwarming to the hilarious, heartbreaking and unbelievable—all told from the people who lived them. It's a perfect format for these audio gifts. For those looking for something darker, dirtier and frequently funnier, try The State funnyman Kevin Allison's Risk! podcast, which follows the same format but focuses on stories people never, ever thought they'd tell.

Students need to eat a balanced diet that gives them the nutrients they need to succeed. When they don't get these nutrients, they can suffer consequences both academically and socially. Not eating properly can lead to issues with concentration and behavioral problems as well. Having a professional catering company provide your students with lunch can go a long way towards making them more prepared to tackle the challenges they'll face at school. Here are some reasons to hire a professional catering company for the students at your school.
They Provide Healthy Choices
Many children's eating choices are a direct result of their environments, so it's important to create a healthy one. When you hire a catering company, you can have them come in with options that are healthy and delicious. Your students will be excited to have options to pick from, and since they're all healthy, it's a win-win situation for everyone!
Introduce New Options To Children
Because students' diets are linked so closely to the eating habits they see the most, chances are there are a lot of foods they have yet to be introduced to. These foods can be healthy and delicious to the students, so it's a great idea to let them try these foods. You may even help them find a new favorite food! Giving students the independence to try new foods on their own and identify what they like and dislike can go a long way towards promoting healthier eating habits for them in the future. The healthy choices they make will likely be more sustainable since they'll be making them own their own.
They Offer Food Education
Not only do professional catering services provide food to students, but they also can offer some much-needed information students can take with them. These services can tell your students about things like appropriate portion sizes and calorie intake, which are both important things to know about.
The Abundance Catering Company Provides Your Kids What They Need To Succeed!
When you work with The Abundance Catering Company, you get a partner that understands how important it is that your coworkers or students are satisfied with the catering service. Whether you need catering for 10 people or 1,000, Abundance Catering can help.
On the day of your event, our staff will arrive on time and set up your order. We bring everything you'll need, including paper goods, serving pieces, condiments, and ice for beverages. Just show us where to set up, and we will handle the rest!
The Abundance Catering Company specializes in corporate catering and K-12 school dining services for Anne Arundel, Howard, and Baltimore counties, as well as Baltimore City.

The Wave Knows Lacrosse Pinnies
Individually, we are one drop.
Together, we are an ocean.
-Ryunosuke Satoro
The Wave Knows Lacrosse Pinnies
Did you ever wonder where certain lacrosse terms come from? Lacrosse terms come from all over the world. Although Lacrosse is a Native American sport, the name lacrosse is a French term "la crosse" meaning "crooked stick." Today The Wave wants to discuss the term "pinnies." Where does this term come from and why are they called pinnies? One reason they are called pinnies is because the word pinny is short for the British word "pinafore." This term originally meant an apron or sleeveless garment. A pinafore or apron was worn by women over their dresses to protect their clothing while cooking or doing household chores.
Lacrosse reversibles, also commonly referred to as pinnies, are usually manufactured from nylon or polyester mesh fabric. They are two ply (layers) and are made using two different colors of mesh fabric so when reversed or turned inside out, the opposite color is exposed. The nylon or polyester mesh is fabricated with very small holes for breathability. These small holes are also known as pin holes, hence the name pinnies. Therefore, this is another reason why they are referred to as pinnies, a term used interchangeably with reversibles, by lacrosse teams around the world.
A lacrosse pinnie is a piece of clothing or sportswear. Reversable Lacrosse Pinnies are a necessity for every lacrosse team. Lacrosse pinnies are used as scrimmage vests. They are often used in practices as a substitute for a sports team's usual uniform or to differentiate temporary teams in informal scrimmages or drills. These vests come in a variety of styles, such as racerback cut, collegiate cut, basketball cut or lacrosse pinnie. Lacrosse reversible are usually worn during practices, but can also be used during games. Most commonly a lacrosse team will pick their primary color for one side and white as the color for the other side making the lacrosse pinnie very functional.
Most teams decorate both front sides of their reversibles with their team logo. This can be done in a variety of ways incorporating multiple colors in opposite combinations to achieve a desirable look regardless of which side of the reversible pinnie is shown. Many teams also decorate the back of both sides with individual player numbers adding game situation functionality. Some teams that only use the pinnies for practice forgo the numbers to save money if their budget will not permit the additional expense.
The most popular Lacrosse Reversible Wave One Sports currently features is a sublimated reversible. Sublimation is a dying process that has revolutionized the imprinted apparel industry. Designs and patterns are printed on paper using an ink jet printer which is then run through a rolling machine with white fabric and a heated roller system, resulting in the design from the paper sublimating onto the fabric. Logos, designs, scenes, patterns, names, and numbers can be sublimated in this fashion using an unlimited amount of colors, creating a unique finished product. We can make 1-ply and 2-ply sublimated reversible pinnies.
The lacrosse reversible Pinnie is a very versatile piece of lacrosse apparel. It is lightweight, available in many color combinations, can easily be decorated, washes well, and is relatively inexpensive. These attributes make it one of the most popular and common items purchased by men's and women's lacrosse teams in all age categories from youth to post collegiate. They are a Club Lacrosse Team Staple.
Wave One Sports has been manufacturing and selling custom team reversibles and other lacrosse pinnie apparel since 1988. Please contact Wave One Sports for a quote or to place an order for custom team reversible pinnies.
Shop for women's reversible lacrosse pinnies and men's reversible lacrosse pinnies.

I am super jealous of your reading ability, and time. Wow, 31 books, one per day huh? I haven't even read that may this year lolReplyDelete
Some of them are graphic novels, so those usually only take 30 min to an hour to read. Usually I read a little over a book every other day. This was just a good month for me :-)ReplyDelete

History and items and structures of historic value are all around us every day, whether we're here in Marion County or traveling anywhere else in the world! And sometimes those pieces of history can be a bit unusual, making you stop and ask… "What in the world was that for?" While some may just be the ghosts of something long-forgotten through time. But sometimes the history is still out there! You just have to do your research, ask around, and find the right person to give you those answers. Maybe someone has documented it somewhere making your quest for knowledge easier. Thankfully, there's a lot of folks nowadays taking the time to get that information down on paper or in digital form so it's not lost with time. As is the case with the MarionCountyMessenger.com "Memories" segments, as those of us interested in the history of our hometowns and local area are giving our best historical accounts here for the record.
My friend and colleague in the news and broadcasting industry, longtime WTVC News Channel 9 anchor Calvin Sneed, recently announced he was publishing a book about bridges. Yes, for those that know Calvin, they know he's best known as "The Bridge Hunter."Sneed, who recently announced his retirement from the local television station coming up later this year, has been photographing bridges from all around our local area and region for the past five decades. He's captured the marvel of engineering and beauty of each one in his photographs. In more recent years he's been posting those photographs on the website Bridgehunter.com, an online community or database of historic or notable bridges in the USA, which earned him the "The Bridge Hunter" nickname.
His book, Building Bridges, which was recently published by Collegedale Press is now on sale for $35 at the Barnes & Noble at Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga. And it's well worth the drive to get your own copy. Other than featuring so many great photographs of bridges from around our local area and region, one of the first things you'll notice is that it features a beautiful picture of our own recently-fallen lady on the front cover — the Marion Memorial Bridge.
The truss bridge started as a toll bridge for a time and carried U.S. Highway 41 (the Dixie Highway) traffic over the Tennessee River at Haletown for many years, linking motorists to-and-from North to South as far away as Chicago to Miami. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) determined it was up for replacement, and so in 2012 it was closed to make way for the newer and wider concrete girder span in place now. Unfortunately, efforts to preserve the bridge in place as a pedestrian or 'walking bridge' similar to Chattanooga's Walnut Street Bridge were unsuccessful and despite being on the National Historic Register it was demolished in 2015 after being delisted.
In the reading of Mr. Sneed's good news about his book release and in working on another 'Memories' installment for our series here, it made me stop a moment to think about some lesser-known, but definitely not unseen bridges from our area. And as soon as you see their pictures — you'll know exactly which ones we're talking about!
Our first bridge is one you might see wearing a lot of green this time of year from overgrowth of weeds, vines, and other vegetation, but in the cooler months when the leaves are off the trees you can see all of its beauty with ease. And it's right in plain sight! Matter of fact, it's not so much of a hidden gem to residents in one local community, but there are many others who may not even know it exists! It's the abandoned Ellis Cove Road bridge in the Battle Creek community.
1891 was the year of construction for this bridge by the King Bridge Company based in Cleveland, Ohio; however, no one seems to know for sure where exactly it was first built and it wasn't until around 1930 before it was moved to its current location over Battle Creek along Ellis Cove Road. While the steel truss bridge has been altered numerous times over the years and was abandoned and bypassed by a modern bridge in the 1990s.
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), the state has determined that this bridge is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places because of its former decorative features, and the fact that it was moved, intact, to its present location almost 40 years after its manufacture, and was still in service almost 60 years after that.
Marion County has done a great job at preserving some of it's more noticeable gems like The Princess Theatre, Jasper Depot, and most recently the American Legion Post in South Pittsburg…and while this is definitely off the beaten path, it's too neat and too potentially useful in a recreational sense to simply abandon forever. Preservation of this bridge would be a great way to maybe welcome some tourism to our county with a walking or biking trail through the area. We've all probably heard talks about that being a possibility of late, now could we find a way to incorporate this into those plans? Maybe so!
For our next stop, let's go downstream on Battle Creek a few miles and very near to its confluence with the Tennessee River at South Pittsburg. If you've been around Marion County long enough you've likely been to a picnic, birthday party, 4th of July celebration or launched a boat at South Pittsburg's Rivers Landing boat dock. Maybe you were there admiring the blue beauty of the Shelby Rhinehart Bridge as its signature arch reaches across the water connecting South Pittsburg and New Hope. The "big blue bridge" has become a signature on the landscape in South Pittsburg — as easily defining and of a similar impact as St. Louis's Arch or San Francisco's Golden Gate…just without all the tourists given the possible exception of that last weekend in April for the National Cornbread Festival.
Regardless, the bridge has defined South Pittsburg's skyline for over 35 years now. Before it opened in 1981, traveling across the river to/from New Hope meant you were taking the ferry or driving all the way to Kimball and through Jasper to Haletown to cross Ladd's Mountain and go around the back way through TN-156 or you better hope the Bridgeport, AL ferry was still running! Not to mention the dangers of the ferry carrying school buses across during the school year. The bridge was very welcomed, for sure. But this isn't about the Shelby Rhinehart Bridge that we all know so well. It's about a gone and almost forgotten piece of history! We're talking about that out of place "tunnel" that appears there at the South Pittsburg River Park…and the bridge piers across Battle Creek right on the river.
I grew up around trains and the railroad. My late father, Fred Carmichael, was a professional photographer by trade, but a railroad man at heart. Unfortunately for Dad, he was several years too late to be a railroad engineer like the one he imagined as a child, but that didn't stop my Dad, oh no! The "train bug" started with tales from my grandfather who worked for a time on the L&N and only got worse after he received a toy train set for Christmas in 1952. That passion for trains just continued to grow as he entered the world of Model Railroading, eventually helping co-found the Chattanooga Area Model Railroad Club's in addition to volunteering and working countless hours at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in its early years and becoming a life member of both organizations.
Dad devoted most of his life to collecting stories and accounts, taking photographs of, and collecting relics of all kinds including signs, lanterns, brake hoses, rail spikes, pieces of track, signals, and various other odds and ends from the local railroads — specifically Southern Railway, Tennessee, Alabama & Georiga Railroad's TAG Route, Chattanooga's Belt Line railway, and the N.C.&StL and L&N. After he passed away in 2010, I found myself sorting through box after box of railroad history. It's a good thing I, too, am a "train nut", because a lot of people wouldn't understand the value of all this otherwise seemingly a hodgepodged collection of train stuff. And yes, we're talking LOTS! That's what leads me to the next stop…
You've very likely seen it before and thought, "What was that tunnel for?" Or maybe you've heard some wild tell that's circulated about what it was for. We asked a few people and heard everything from a secret passage on the Underground Railroad to an original entrance to the City of South Pittsburg from boat traffic on the Tennessee River. While both of those would be very interesting historical notes, that's just not the case. So what is that mysterious "tunnel" anyways? Well, it wasn't actually a just a tunnel… It's an abandoned arch-type bridge or overpass for the Sequatchie Valley Railroad. The tunnel formerly carried trackage for the Sequatchie Valley Railroad below (which now follows a different route nearby) and another line was to run above and over it for Southern Railway. It's similar in design to the tunnel-type bridges you've likely seen entering the St. Elmo community from Broad Street in Chattanooga. Same era of construction, too, by the way.
It was built for what's become known as "the unfinished line to Stevenson, Alabama" — an undertaking by the Southern Railway dating back as far as 1885, though construction only really got underway around 1905. The idea was that Southern would create a new railroad line from Chattanooga to Stevenson, Alabama. At the time Southern was having to rent or lease the use of the very congested Nashville & Chattanooga line (later N.C.& StL, then L&N before eventually becoming CSX) at a cost of $60,000 per year. This new line, at a proposed length of 42 miles, was to stretch from a new tunnel at Lookout Mountain then along present day Highway 41 through the Kelly's Ferry and Riverside communities to Haletown where it would cross the Tennessee River via an elaborate drawbridge, and finally crossing the Sequatchie River before heading on to nearby South Pittsburg and eventually Stevenson. Ambitious as it was (and with many more structures built along the way), the $2.9 Million dollar price tag was more than the railroad wished to spare and construction stopped a short two years later in 1907 with the project being mothballed completely in 1909.
The railroad track was actually laid along a new railbed from Stevenson north to the Sequatchie River as the railroad worked out the plans for the drawbridge over the Tennessee River, which actually required going before the U.S. Congress for approval. In fact, a lot of work was completed right here in our area, but even as ambitious as it was the $2.9 Million dollar price tag for completion was more than the railroad wished to spare after after the Panic of 1907 when in mid-October the New York Stock Exchange fell almost 50% from its peak the previous year.
It didn't help that the three week period fell during a time the country was in an economic recession and it caused a ripple effect through the nation with many state and local banks and even businesses filing for bankruptcy. And while the railroads were still profitable; their owners, board members, and investors were very cautious as many of them were affected by the financial crisis.
Incidentally, if you want proof of how a financial crisis can change the course of history over the longterm — even if things do eventually improve — despite the country bouncing back and eventually pulling itself out of the Great Depression; to this day Southern Railway's successor, Norfolk Southern, still leases right-of-way from N&C's successor CSX. All that remains of the planned line today are a few small visual reminders of what was once to be "the Southern's" answer to transportation into the Sequatchie Valley.
Aside from the arch at the South Pittsburg River Park, the piers still standing at the mouth of Battle Creek just down from the arch, there's a few other remnants including large concrete culverts in backyards in Lookout Valley, a 1,100-foot tunnel through a portion of Raccoon Mountain, and a remaining pier in the Sequatchie River behind Parkridge West Hospital across from the current Marion County Landfill. Matter of fact, though it was abandoned in 1909, you can still see trace evidence of the line on a modern day Google Map aerial view. We've marked the pier in the Sequatchie River on the map — zoom out and see if you can follow the line from Anderson Ridge near I-24 back to South Pittsburg…

Mostly gone, but not forgotten seems to be the case with many things that still fascinate so many of us! And thanks to folks like Calvin Sneed and countless other historians, enthusiasts, bloggers, authors and photographers who've documented, captured in photograph and saved or even published accounts of our history (even in a structural or architectural form like our local bridges); this history can continue to live on for many more generations to come!

The movie Detroit takes audiences inside a chaotic, shameful summer night in American history when three African-American men were killed during a botched police raid at Detroit's Algiers Motel in 1967. The film reunites director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal, two filmmakers who have previously distilled intense, real-life tales of war into cinematic thrillers like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. Working this time with an ensemble cast that includes John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, and Jason Mitchell, Bigelow and Boal turned their attention to a conflict on American soil, one that is in many ways still boiling.
Boal spoke with Vanity Fair about learning the truth about the Algiers, collaborating with Bigelow, and tackling a story of racial injustice as a white screenwriter.
Vanity Fair: Some of the facts surrounding what happened that night at the Algiers Motel are murky. How did you go about actually determining the truth before you set about writing your script?
Mark Boal: The truth is known. The truth is that three young, African-American men were killed with shotguns by police. That's not open to dispute. What's lost to history is who exactly pulled which trigger and why, and to some degree when. There was a pretty serious investigative effort put into understanding what happened at the Algiers by the Detroit Police Department. . . . I don't know if the prosecution was serious, but the investigation was serious. The F.B.I. also looked at it, and there were anthropologists who looked at it and spoke to people, and there were a lot of newspaper reporters interested in it. The way the police behaved is very well documented. The dialogue, though, I wrote. Nobody knows exactly what was said. Even though I talked to the survivors . . . nobody has a verbatim memory of something that happened 50 years ago. The dialogue is invented. The physical interactions between the police and the victims, I wrote that based on either somebody's memory or a contemporaneous account of the time.
Once you knew what the facts were, how did you decide when to fictionalize?
It's instinct, it's craft. It's storytelling, it's authenticity. There is a way that stories can get to an underlying truth, and that's sort of what I'm trying to row toward.
You made an unconventional choice with this script, in that the characters don't determine their own fate. Can you explain that?

JACKSON – State revenue collections, which have been subpar in recent years, continue to make a modest rebound.
Revenue collections through the month of January for the current fiscal year are $52.1 million, or 1.8 percent, above collections during the same time period for the last fiscal year, according to a report compiled and recently released by the staff of the Legislative Budget Committee.
The state fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30.
In reality, collections for the current year are performing even better year over year when factoring in collections for the previous year included about $50 million in one-time revenue collections. When those one-time revenue sources are not included, collections for the current year are up 4.2 percent.
Collections through January are $23.1 million, or 0.78 percent, above the estimate. The estimate, compiled by legislative leaders, is important because it represents the amount of money budgeted by the Legislature. If collections fall too far below the estimate, Gov. Phil Bryant, often with assistance from the Legislature, is forced to make budget cuts or dip into reserve funds.
For the month of January, collections were $1.2 million, or 0.28 percent, above the estimate.
The estimate being met is a conservative one. The legislative leadership opted to adopt a conservative estimate after multiple years when the collections did not meet the estimate, forcing numerous rounds of budget cuts and in some instances the firing of state employees.
But if current trends continue, legislators might be able to revise upward that conservative estimate. There were some positive numbers in the January collections report. For instance, personal income tax collections were up $71.2 million, or 7.2 percent, for the year.
But sales tax collections, the largest single source of state revenue, continue to be relatively anemic, up $11.7 million, or 1.1 percent. But those numbers were more than offset by revenue from the use tax, which is levied on retail items purchased out of state. Use tax collections were up $24 million, or 18.8 percent.
After multiple tax cuts aimed at businesses, corporate tax collections continue to be sluggish, down $9.5 million, or 4.8 percent, year over year through January.
The revenue report comes as the Legislature is poised in the coming weeks to begin, in earnest, work on a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. If revenue collections remain strong, legislators might reassess and pump more funds into key programs, such as education, health care and law enforcement.
