| Police expand hunt for murder suspect
Both systems alert police officers of outstanding arrest warrants when they check the name of someone being screened after, for example, a traffic stop. Cape Girardeau police also sent a package of information for the U.S. Marshals Service for inclusion in its fugitive program, department spokesman Sgt. Barry Hovis said. "We don't know if she is in Southeast Missouri or has gone somewhere else," Hovis said. Turner is accused of killing Egson out of jealousy. Turner is the estranged wife of Lloyd Gilmore, who was at the North Spanish Street residence when police responded to the shooting at 5:20 a.m. Friday. Police are also still looking for the front bumper from Turner's blue 2000 Ford Mustang, which they believe may have come loose in a one-car accident somewhere in Cape Girardeau, Hovis said.

The Top 10 Restaurants in Asia
Looking back on much of Asia's leap from the post-colonial frying pan into the full fire of globalization, I turn to certain tastes as my signposts. Take India. When I backpacked along the hippie trail there three decades ago, the country's largest cities only had a handful of eateries -- outside major hotels -- that could match the tidy ambience of a corner curry shop in London or New York. In the early 1990s, the Moscow Restaurant with its blinis and chicken Kiev, reflective of lingering socialist links, was Beijing's fanciest European venue. And until a few years ago, major Asian cities like Seoul, Jakarta, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur, were mostly one-dimensional showcases for local cuisine. While laudable, it was uninfluenced by foreign tastes and unimproved for generations. .
U.S. plans for falling satellite
Military agencies, he said, are doing an analysis to determine which pieces most likely would survive re-entry. But he cautioned that officials won't have much detail on where or when it will crash until it begins to move through the atmosphere and break up. Renuart added that there does not as yet appear to be much concern about sensitive technologies on the satellite falling into enemy hands. .
Sarkozy, Rudd visit Afghanistan
Kevin Rudd and French President Nicolas Sarkozy flew into the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Saturday to meet with Karzai and visit their respective country's troops participating in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force. In a morning meeting, Sarkozy "assured President Karzai of his government's long term political and military support with the people of Afghanistan," according to a statement from the Afghan president's office. Rudd, who was elected in a landslide victory Nov. 24, appeared with Karzai at a news conference, where he repeatedly said that the Australian commitment to Afghanistan is strong. "We will be, as I said before, in this country, Afghanistan, for the long haul. It's important for us to be here in partnership with NATO countries," Rudd said.
Serbia and Russia reject Albanian rule in Kosovo
Tensions have risen in Kosovo's first full week as a separate state as Serbs vent their anger and determination to reverse the move. In the Serb stronghold of north Mitrovica, over 1,000 people demonstrated for a seventh day, burning not only an EU flag but also a picture of Tadic. Eighteen Kosovo police officers were injured when dozens of Serb war veterans lobbed stones and bottles during a protest at a border crossing into northeastern Kosovo. Police used teargas to disperse the demonstrators. U.N. governor Joachim Ruecker urged Serbia to confirm its respect for the U.N. mandate, following Belgrade's endorsement of mob attacks on U.N.-run border posts and disruption of police and justice in the Serb-dominated north. Ruecker said he reminded visiting Serb Minister for Kosovo Slobodan Samardzic that Resolution 1244 puts the United Nations and the KFOR peacekeeping force KFOR "in charge of the whole territory of Kosovo." "I made it very clear to him that the condoning of violence, direct or indirect support for violence, is totally unacceptable," Ruecker said, referring to a remark by Samardzic saying that attacks on border posts were "legitimate." Samardzic said Serbia would do all it could to maintain peace and order "in the areas that it controls, where Serbs live." Serbia would also provide jobs, schooling and infrastructure in Serb areas of Kosovo.
Photographer combines unlike elements for surprising results
The artist also lobbies for "an amazing bird or spider, monkey or shark, jaguar or deer" to spice up her work.Reading those online shout-outs is enough to intrigue most art lovers. But the elements are made all the more powerful in Small's work as she combines the mundane and the magnificent in her engrossing photos."Usually how a picture comes to be is that I'll find two different subjects that are very distant from each other and every separate," said the artist. "I just decide that I want to put them in the same space and see what happens."Cedar Valley residents can check out the results of those quirky unions starting Monday at Wartburg College's Waldemar A. Schmidt Art Gallery in Wartburg. We guarantee it's the only photo show in town to highlight a nude ballet dancer prancing through the living room of an elderly woman.
Orcutt project draws mixed reviews from planners
A large, mixed-use project at Orcutt's eastern gateway got mixed reactions Wednesday from Santa Barbara County planning commissioners, from praise for its appealing architecture to concerns about putting residences above two of its retail buildings.
After a nearly four-hour hearing in Santa Maria, the commissioners agreed they need more answers before deciding whether to approve the Orcutt Village Marketplace project as designed.
They voted 4-0, with Commissioner Cecilia Brown absent, to continue the hearing to April 9.
Proposed for 24.7 acres along the west side of Highway 101 and north side of Clark Avenue, the project would include a three-story hotel, a 34,000-square-foot supermarket, 38 condominiums, shops, restaurants, offices, a gas station with a convenience store and car wash, and a half-acre park with gazebo near the center of the property.
