Sudoku puzzle here to stay

·

SAN FRANCISCO -- Sudoku are deceptively simple-looking puzzles that require no math, spelling or language skills. Unlike crosswords, they don't require an extensive knowledge of trivia. They're logic, pure and simple. They're also addictive. Sudoku books -- pages and pages of grids with nothing more than numbers in boxes -- are selling so well they're quickly filling lists of best sellers.

"If people want to come past the security gates and see what our world was like down in the hole, this is as close as they can come to it," said Gary Marlon Suson, the official Ground Zero photographer for the Uniformed Firefighters Association, the city firefighters' main union.

Toilet 'art' causes neighborhood conflict

·

CENTRE ISLAND, N. Y. - It started with two neighbors talking trash, and spread from there into "Bogey" Seaman's front yard. White toilet seats hang from trees, amid a porcelain garden of junked commodes, urinals and sinks. Nearby sits a discarded refrigerator, tastelessly decorated with a clown's head, totally incongruous in this extraordinarily affluent village.

In conjunction with the Ryder Films, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is screening critically-acclaimed films that didn't make the standard run at Kerasotes-owned theaters. Buskirk-Chumley Director Danielle McClelland said she believes the series plays an important role in expanding the cinematic palate of Bloomington moviegoers.
