GOP hits Obama for telling Russia his reelection will allow more missile defense flexibility
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- President Barack Obama said Tuesday he is not trying to "hide the ball" in negotiations with Russia over U.S. plans for a missile defense shield in Europe, expanding upon comments to Russia's leader that were picked up by an open microphone and quickly drew the ire of Republicans.
Obama said he wants to spend the rest of this year working through technical issues with the Russians and said it was not surprising that a deal couldn't be completed quickly. The shield is opposed by Russia in its current form and new talks that might lead to U.S. concessions are opposed by Republican in Congress.
Republicans pounced on Obama's remarks to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, heard on an open microphone, that he would have more flexibility on the issue after the November presidential election. The conversation was picked up by a microphone without either leader apparently knowing.
"This is my last election," Obama was heard telling Medvedev, Russia's outgoing president. "After my election, I have more flexibility."
Medvedev replied in English, according to ABC News: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir," an apparent reference to incoming President Vladmir Putin.
No delay: Justices signal readiness to tackle keep-or-kill question for health care overhaul
WASHINGTON (AP) -- As demonstrations swirled outside, Supreme Court justices signaled on Monday they are ready to confront without delay the keep-or-kill questions at the heart of challenges to President Barack Obama's historic health care overhaul. Virtually every American will be affected by the outcome, due this summer in the heat of the election campaign.
On the first of three days of arguments -- the longest in decades -- none of the justices appeared to embrace the contention that it was too soon for a decision.
Outside the packed courtroom, marching and singing demonstrators on both sides -- including doctors in white coats, a Republican presidential candidate and even a brass quartet -- voiced their eagerness for the court to either uphold or throw out the largest expansion in the nation's social safety net since Medicare was enacted in 1965.
Tuesday's arguments will focus on the heart of the case, the provision that aims to extend medical insurance to 30 million more Americans by requiring everyone to carry insurance or pay a penalty.
A decision is expected by late June as Obama fights for re-election. All of his Republican challengers oppose the law and promise its repeal if the high court hasn't struck it down in the meantime.
Marijuana, beating claims put slain Florida teen's supporters on the defensive
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) -- The family and supporters of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin found themselves on the defensive Monday following revelations he had been suspended for marijuana before he was shot to death by a neighborhood watch volunteer. Police also confirmed a report that the watchman claimed Martin was the aggressor, punching him in the nose and smacking his head on a sidewalk.
Martin, 17, was suspended by Miami-Dade County schools because traces of marijuana were found in a plastic baggie in his book bag, family spokesman Ryan Julison said. Martin was serving the suspension when he was shot Feb. 26 by George Zimmerman, who was patrolling the neighborhood that Martin was visiting with his father.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and family attorneys blamed police for leaking the information about the marijuana and Zimmerman's claim about the attack to the news media in an effort to demonize the teenager.
"They killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation," Fulton told reporters.
The Sanford Police Department insisted there was no authorized release of the new information but acknowledged there may have been a leak. City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. said it would be investigated and the person responsible could be fired.
Afghan security forces kill 3 NATO troops, reflecting a spike in tensions
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Afghan security forces shot and killed three international troops Monday, one of them an American, in two attacks. They were the latest in a rising number of attacks in which Afghan forces have turned their weapons on their foreign partners.
The killings reflect a spike in tensions between Afghan and international forces that follow an American soldier's alleged massacre of Afghan civilians, the burning of Muslim holy books at a U.S. base, and uncertainty about Afghanistan's fate as foreign troops prepare to pull out.
They also come at a time when international troops have stepped up training and mentoring of Afghan soldiers, police and government workers so that Afghans can take the lead and the foreign forces can go home. The success of that partnership is key to the U.S.-led coalition's strategy to withdraw most foreign combat forces by the end of 2014.
U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, told reporters at the Pentagon that these types of attacks are characteristic of any warfare involving insurgents.
"We experienced these in Iraq. We experienced them in Vietnam," Allen said. "On any occasion where you're dealing with an insurgency and where you're also growing an indigenous force ... the enemy's going to do all that they can to disrupt both the counterinsurgency operations" and the developing nation's security forces.
US, China, SKorea warn nations to keep nuclear material from falling into terrorists' hands
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- The leaders of South Korea, the United States and China issued stark warnings Tuesday about the threat of nuclear terrorism during the final day of a nuclear summit that has so far been upstaged by North Korea's long-range rocket launch plans.
Nearly 60 leaders have gathered for the two-day conference meant to find ways to keep terrorists from detonating an atomic weapon in a major city. The leaders were to release a communique Tuesday about their efforts to lock down the world's supply of nuclear material by 2014.
Much of the drama, however, has centered on North Korea's stated plans to launch a satellite on a long-range rocket around the April 15 celebration of the birthday of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. Washington and Seoul view the launch as cover for nuclear missile development; North Korea says the satellite is part of a peaceful space program and will help in forecasting the weather.
President Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak on Monday pressured China, Pyongyang's main ally and economic supporter, to use its leverage to persuade the North to back away from the launch.
Although North Korea wasn't mentioned in opening summit comments Tuesday by China, the U.S. and South Korea, the launch was still a major point of discussion in leaders' meetings on the sidelines. Lee and Italian Premier Mario Monti met Tuesday and urged North Korea to cancel its launch plans, Lee's office said.
Pope Benedict XVI touches down in Cuba 14 years after John Paul II's historic visit
SANTIAGO, Cuba (AP) -- Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Cuba on Monday in the footsteps of his more famous predecessor, gently pressing the island's longtime communist leaders to push through "legitimate" reforms their people desire, while also criticizing the excesses of capitalism.
In contrast to the raucous welcome Benedict received in Mexico, his arrival in Cuba's second city was relatively subdued: President Raul Castro greeted him at the airport with a 21-cannon salute and a goose-stepping military honor guard, but few ordinary Cubans lined Benedict's motorcade route into town and the pope barely waved from his glassed-in popemobile.
Santiago's main plaza, however, came alive when Benedict arrived for his evening Mass, his main public event here before heading Tuesday to Havana. While the plaza, which has a capacity of about 200,000, was not fully packed there was a festive atmosphere, with Cubans dancing to the rhythms of a samba band awaiting Benedict's arrival and waving small Cuban and Vatican flags.
"It is a message of love, this visit," said Jorgelina Guevara, a 59-year-old homemaker as she waited for the Mass to begin. "The Cuban people need it."
The trip comes 14 years after John Paul's historic tour, when the Polish pope who helped bring down communism in his homeland admonished Fidel Castro to free prisoners of conscience, end abortion and let the Roman Catholic Church take its place in society.
Officials: US and Pakistan spy chiefs bargain over future of CIA drone program
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a bid to save the CIA's drone campaign against al-Qaida in Pakistan, US officials offered key concessions to Pakistan's spy chief that included advance notice and limits on the types of targets. But the offers were flatly rejected, leaving US-Pakistani relations strained as President Barack Obama prepares to meet Tuesday with Pakistan's prime minister.
CIA Director David Petraeus, who met with Pakistan's then-spy chief, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha at a meeting in London in January, offered to give Pakistan advance notice of future CIA drone strikes against targets on its territory in a bid to keep Pakistan from blocking the strikes -- arguably one of the most potent U.S. tools against al-Qaida.
The CIA chief also offered to apply new limits on the types of targets hit, said a senior U.S. intelligence official briefed on the meetings. No longer would large groups of armed men rate near-automatic action, as they had in the past -- one of the so-called "signature" strikes, where CIA targeters deemed certain groups and behavior as clearly indicative of militant activity.
Pasha said then what Pakistani officials and its parliament have repeated in recent days: that Pakistan will no longer brook independent U.S. action on its territory by CIA drones, two Pakistani officials said. All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations.
Pasha went further, saying Pakistan's intelligence service would no longer carry out joint raids with U.S. counterterrorist teams inside its country, as it had in the past. Instead, Pakistan would demand that the U.S. hand over the intelligence, so its forces could pursue targets on their own in urban areas, or send the Pakistani army or jets to attack the targets in the tribal areas, explained a senior Pakistani official.
Defense: Philadelphia monsignor 'won't run' from church sex abuse problem, tried to correct it
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A high-ranking monsignor who's on trial "won't run" from the Catholic Church's sex abuse crisis, his lawyer said Monday as the landmark child endangerment trial began.
Monsignor William Lynn supervised more than 800 priests as the secretary for clergy in Philadelphia from 1992 to 2004. He's the first U.S. church official charged over his handling of abuse complaints.
Prosecutors charge that he kept dangerous priests in parish work around children to protect the church's reputation and avoid scandal.
Defense lawyer Thomas Bergstrom said in opening statements: "There is documentary evidence that the sexual abuse of children happened in the Catholic Church. We're not going to run from that. He (Lynn), perhaps alone, is the one who tried to correct it."
Bergstrom said his client had prepared a list of 35 accused priests in 1994, based on his review of secret archives kept in a locked room at the archdiocese's headquarters. Lynn gave the list to Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua and other superiors, but Bevilacqua had it shredded, Bergstrom said.
R&B singer Bobby Brown arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Officials in Southern California say Bobby Brown has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Harris says Brown was arrested around 12:20 p.m. Monday in the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles. He failed a field sobriety test and was booked on suspicion of DUI.
Harris says the R&B singer was pulled over after an officer saw him talking on his cellphone without a hands-free unit and noticed he appeared to be impaired.
Los Angeles police say Brown was released from jail on his own recognizance shortly before 2 p.m.
The 43-year-old is the ex-husband of Whitney Houston and a founding member of the group New Edition.
Danny Granger scores 25 points, Darren Collison adds 20 to lead Pacers in 105-90 win over Heat
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Danny Granger scored 25 points to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat 105-90 on Monday night.
Darren Collison added 20 points, and Paul George had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers, who have won four of five and finally got the signature win they have sought since the All-Star break.
LeBron James had 24 points and nine rebounds, and Dwyane Wade had 24 points and six assists for Miami.
The Heat, coming off a 103-87 loss at Oklahoma City on Sunday night, lost by double digits in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Miami (35-13) lost for the fourth time in eight games overall and is running out of time to catch Chicago (40-10) for the best record in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat had won the previous three meetings this season, but the Pacers played with confidence throughout. Indiana led by double digits for most of the fourth quarter, and Pacers fans stood and showed their appreciation during the final minute.

Nearly one in every 100 Americans suffer from celiac disease, a gluten intolerance; chances are, you already know a friend or a family member who adheres to a gluten-free diet.
With just a few tips from Madeleine, a gluten-free baker, you will have the know-how to prepare delicious masterpieces for your gluten-free diner.
Tip 1: Under-bake a gluten-free recipe. Rather than bake a cake until the center is dry, remove a gluten-free cake or cookie a few minutes early. The cake or cookie will then retain some of the moisture from the wet ingredients added to the batter. This will yield soft, moist cakes and prevent the dreaded dry and crumbled pastry. "Without the gluten, it can make the recipe very crumbly," says Madeleine.
Tip 2: Read labels closely and know what they mean. When reading labels, be 100 percent sure you are purchasing gluten-free items for baking. Says Madeleine, "When you are looking at products that say 'wheat free,' this does not mean they are necessarily gluten-free. This is because gluten can come in multiple different flours, not just wheat flour."
Tip 3: Select the right gluten-free flour for your recipe. Some gluten-free flours — such as garbanzo and quinoa flours — contain powerful flavors. These flours are strong and should be incorporated in recipes that feature strong flavor profiles. Chocolate, for example, is an ingredient that can stand up to these flours. For recipes that feature light flavor profiles, such as lemon, it is better to use a more neutral gluten-free flour. These neutral flours include rice flour and tapioca starch, which will allow the delicate and subtle flavors of a recipe to shine through more prominently.
If you are looking for more gluten-free tips or for more gluten-free recipes, be sure to explore our gluten-free video-recipes online. From desserts to main dishes, you'll find all you need for delightful gluten-free dining.

Whether you have a wobbly knee or arthritis, it's no secret that joint pain can take a toll on your life. Prescriptions from your doctor may offer hope, but sometimes you need a little extra help. Fortunately, there are easy, at-home ways to ease the ache and annoyance of joint problems. Try these tips and see what works for you:
1. Cool down or heat up: Depending on the location and type of joint pain, temperature therapy may offer you relief. If inflammation has your body throbbing, then grab an ice pack – the cold will reduce swelling and keep irritation to a minimum. Even just cold water can offer welcome help. On the other hand, heat aids your joints by relaxing the muscles around them. Kick back in a sauna or steam room and enjoy a truly indulgent treat for your body. At home, step into a hot shower or tub – it's often an effective remedy for aches and pains.
2. Control your weight: Excess weight will only add unnecessary stress on your joints. Work on trimming down to your ideal weight using a body mass index (BMI) calculator and, with your doctor's approval, some good old-fashioned exercise. When you decide to hit the gym, however, choose low-impact routines. Get your heart pumping with cardio – but make sure you always have one foot on the ground. Walking instead of jogging, for example, will keep your joints happy. Try your hand at cross-country skiing, or simply hit the gym's elliptical machines for a pain-free workout with plenty of health benefits.
3. Feed your body right: There are a bevy of vitamins that can help keep your joints in check. Researchers at Boston University Medical Center found that arthritis sufferers who had a high vitamin C intake were three times less likely to strain joints than those with low C levels. Vitamin C also aids the body in producing collagen, which in turn helps form cartilage and bone; stock up on broccoli, cantaloupe and oranges for a real boost.
B vitamins have been shown to reduce joint inflammation while calcium is vital for bone health, especially in women over 45 years old. Need some vitamin D to help protect your bones? Dig into salmon or tuna for dinner, followed by a dairy treat for dessert. Nut-lovers benefit from the vitamin E in almonds and sunflowers seeds, which is said to relieve leg cramps and osteoarthritis pain.
Be sure to talk to your doctor about the right plan of attack against joint pain. Your ticket to relief may require a combination of strategies, as well as a trial-and-error attitude. Regardless, there are many sources of support from community support groups to online blogs to university and hospital research centers. Get involved and become informed – the road to recovery may be right around the corner.

Middleweight Clifford Starks is somewhat of an unknown fighter in the midst of a very famous camp. Training with Cain Velasquez, Ryan Bader, and C.B. Dollaway at Arizona Combat Sports, his relationship with these fighters stretches back to his college wrestling days at ASU.
Now he's getting ready to fight Olympic silver medalist Yoel Romero at UFC on Fox 7: Henderson vs. Melendez, this Saturday. He sat down recently with MMA Sentinel radio and Bloody elbow, to talk about his short UFC career, as well as his history with the Lally brothers' fight camp.
(Interview via MMA Sentinel. Transcription by Zane Simon)
Why the long layoff?
I was getting ready to fight last year, October, but I ended up hurting myself. I was on injury layoff for a little bit and that's why it took me a little bit of time to get back to the octagon.
Do you have any nagging injuries then, or are you pretty much healed?
It's healed up now. It was just a meniscus tear I had to get taken care of.
If you fight, ideally, 3 times a year do you find that you're never really injury free?
It becomes a part of the game unfortunately, it's the path we choose. Like you said, with us consistently beating up our bodies, part of the game is going to be injuries. You have to know when 'ok, I gotta suck this one up,' or 'you know, I'm not gonna be able to perform at all with this particular injury,' and kinda go from there.
Do you have any tricks of the trade, new age therapies, hyperbaric treatment, yoga?
I actually started doing yoga. Another trick, which I really don't like, is the basic ice bath. I'm not a fan of the cold at all, so it takes me a little bit of time to... I'll stare at the ice bath for a good 5, 10 minutes and mentally prepare myself, but it definitely helps your body recover much faster.
At some point you'll have to release a video, like Phil Baroni did.
I don't know if I want to release video, because then people are going to think they can take me. They see me trying to get into the ice bath, like 'oh this guy's not mentally tough at all.'
Let's talk a little about Ed Herman and vengeance. Is there a point down the road where you'd like a rematch?
I would love to fight Ed Herman again. I would definitely like to get that one back. Everyone saw what the first round looked like, and I just... I slipped up, made a mistake. I give him props, he's a warrior, he came through and he capitalized on a mistake that I made.
When you go into a fight undefeated, that first lost is the one that stings the most.
I don't like losing at all. So if I do lose, whether it's my first or my second or my third, I want to come back and avenge that lost. It's just the competitive nature. And I think a lot of fighters do have that competitive nature, but when you're consistently winning and you do get a loss, it stings quite a bit.
How do you change your game so you don't make that same mistake again?
It's really just part of the process. Sometimes you have to have failure to have success. He's been in the game much longer than I have and he capitalized on fence control. I just didn't have the fence control and I've always been incorporating and improving on my game, but it's going to be a never ending process and I've just got to have a better gameplan than my opponent. Everyone fighting in the UFC is high level athletes and fighters. So it can go either way on any given day, and you just have to incorporate your game plan as best as possible and see what happens, see where the chips fall.
The UFC is cutting the apron strings on fighters that aren't performing the way they want them too. Does that add a lot of pressure?
Really, only because... I kind of live in, 'you're never promised tomorrow.' I see myself as having a great opportunity. Some people go years and years without being in the UFC. I'm in the UFC, I'm just going to have fun with it. I might win and keep moving on, I might lose and people will say 'oh, he was a has been anyway.' I can't control what the exact outcome is going to be, I can just do the best that I can. And I think if I add too much pressure on myself I think it's going to hinder my performance.
There's a point where you just put a wall up, and say 'Look I'm not even going to think about this crap anymore, I'm just going to go out there and wreck the shop.'
Exactly, You've gotta do what you can do. There's no point in trying to control what's uncontrollable, 'cuz that's just going to create more anxiety and that's not going to help you.
Your opponent is a relative unknown in MMA. Does that make it harder to prepare, without a lot of footage?
From what I've seen he's a very great athlete, very athletic. He hasn't fought for two years, so he is definitely an unknown and it did make it a little more difficult to prepare because I don't know exactly what I'm preparing for. I guess I can, to an extent, go with any fight. But this one... yeah at a higher level he's definitely a little more difficult to prepare for.
You've got a fantastic camp down there in Arizona, does that give you a lot of confidence?
Yeah. I hate my coach when I'm training with him. But I know he needs to be done to get me where I need to go. I don't want to be in a gym full of yes men and that's why I train where I train.
As a general rule how much of your camp preperation do you base on fight footage?
Sometimes I'll watch some of it. I try not to over analyze it because that will actually get the nerves going, like 'oh man, you've got this, this.' I've just have to look at what he basically has and how I can basically capitalize on it. So I don't go into the intricate details of it, like 'oh he did this, oh he did this.' 'Cuz for MMA, I mean the fight can really go anywhere, so you don't know... like, each fight's going to be a different fight.
You're with the Lallys right. There's so much ego and alpha-maleness going on there, what's that like?
Oh you know them well, huh? It's fun to me, I enjoy it. We all have our own different personalities and it makes for a very interesting family. I like the dynamic of it and they don't let me get away with anything, which is good to have. I mean it's not fun when you're doing it, but when it's fight time you realize why you did do it.
You're a big dude, how's the cut for you?
The cut's relatively easy for me. It's a relatively easy cut.
Do you use a nutritionist, are you doing this on your own?
Having the background in kinesiology... I've also done a couple body building shows as well. I have a background in nutrition, so I just do my own.
You're 31 years old, not ancient, but coming up on your prime years. How long do you think you'll stay in competition?
I just... I really, as an MMA fighter, try to focus on the moment. And I would say if you mentally believe you can do it, then you can do it. No matter what your physical says, I'm a big believer in 'an old dog can beat a young dog, if they don't have the mentality for it.' And as long as I have the mental mentality for it I'm gonna go for it. But if I get to a point where I'm like 'you know what, I just don't like doing this anymore.' It doesn't matter how strong I am it doesn't matter how fast I am, I'm going to have to call it quits, 'cuz I'm going to hurt myself in there.
What motivates you?
I definitely want to win the title, but I believe every fighter wants to do that, I think that's kinda the cliche. The biggest part is, as a personal trainer, I really started off wanting to just help people and get them where they needed to go. And no offense to Kim Kardashian, I really don't think she knows anything about fitness. But the fact that she's a known person, all of a sudden 'oh, well Kim Kardashian has said so, so I should do it this way.' Well I need to get there. If I'm seen on the TV, then all of a sudden 'Cliff said this, and he's on the TV.' But it's still my main goal is to help people be successful. But sometimes the only way to see that through is, I don't know, the TV. I don't know what it does to people, but it does something.
Speaking of Kardashian, have you seen the latest stuff? She's gotten really big.
Oh really! That's the stuff that gets me sometimes. I'm not going to bag on her at all, I mean she's a smart business person. But I mean, I've gone to school for this. I took the direction that is the appropriate direction to take. But is it really the appropriate direction to take? 'Cuz they're listening to her and not me. It's kinda one of those things where you're like 'where do you wanna go?'
Ok, look. Cut a sex video, posthumously release it somehow, and then go and do your fitness thing.
I knew I was doing the steps wrong. I gotta go this way.
I don't mind Kardashian so much, but I mind that girls find her as a role model.
That's the thing that gets me a little bit. She's a good business person, but let's just be real. And I'd just leave it at that.
What or who was it that convinced you to give MMA a shot in the first place?
I saw a couple of our guys from ASU, that I used to wrestle with, they were just really successful in the sport. Ryan Bader, Cain Velasquez, I guess, and CB Dolloway; and I was just like 'that could be kinda interesting to get into.' And I still do have that... I still had that competitive nature, I just didn't know what to do with it. So that's the direction I ended up going with it.
You trained with Cain in College, has he always been as competitive as he is now?
Cain is a beast. Yeah, he is one of the most competitive guys I know. There was one time, we were wrestling and I got a takedown on him, and he got so upset he ran me through the double doors. Like he ran me through the door to the wrestling room. So he's had it, and i don't think it's going away anytime soon. And it's a good thing; that's why he's the UFC heavyweight champion now.
Speaking of champions, how do you fancy Chris Weidman's chances against Anderson Silva?
I honestly think he has the tools to beat Anderson, with his wrestling background, and he's tough, and he's not... most likely he's not going to get submitted. So I think he has the tools to beat him. But Anderson... obviously he's the greatest right now, and he's always going to be a tough fight for anybody right now, so that could go either way really. But I wouldn't put it past Weidman.
Everybody's got a story, whether it be in training or somebody in MMA that we already know. You told us about Cain, you got anything else?
If I have a story it's... when I first got into the gym, it was actually about two weeks into training, I realized why people from Arizona Combat do so well, 'cuz I got the crap beat out of me. I mean literally the crap beat out of me. It really humbles you to get hit in the stomach and drop to a knee. I never knew you could feel such intense pain off of four body shots, but I found out the hard way. As you know, you said the Lallys kind of have the ego of 'Get back up, get back up!' I was like 'I'm trying but my body won't.' That can be my little fun story of Clifford getting his ass kicked.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — MUNCIE — Did Ball State University President Jo Ann Gora open a legal can of worms when she took a strong stand this summer against the teaching of intelligent design in the classroom?
The Discovery Institute, a Seattle think tank that believes supernatural forces shaped the universe, believes so.
"This dispute is not over by a long shot," John West, vice president of the institute, told The Star Press on Aug. 1. "If the president thought that she was ending the controversy, I think she will think otherwise in coming weeks."
On Tuesday, West and an attorney at the institute sent Gora a letter demanding that she investigate associate professor of English Paul Ranieri's Honors 390 seminar "Dangerous Ideas," which allegedly uses "What is Your Dangerous Idea?" as its sole textbook.
"This completely one-sided book appears to be one long argument for atheism," West wrote in the 10-page letter. "Indeed, its contributors declare that 'Science Must Destroy Religion,' that 'There is no God, no Intelligent Designer; no higher purpose to our lives,' and even that science should assume the role currently played by religion and that scientists should function as our 'high priests.' "
Other excerpts:
— "Living creatures capable of reflecting on their own existence are a freak accident, existing for one brief moment in the history of the universe."
— "... beliefs in angels, deities and eternal souls can be understood in part as wish-fulfilling metaphors for an unpleasant reality that most of us cannot fully comprehend and accept."
— "Beyond Earth, there is no intelligence ... that is watching out for us or cares. We are alone."
The institute contends the course violates Gora's new policy "forbidding its faculty from favoring or endorsing one side of a religious debate over another."
On July 31, Gora said intelligent design and creationism "can have their place at Ball State in humanities or social science courses. However, even in such contexts, faculty must avoid endorsing one point of view over others."
Gora earlier this year received a complaint against Eric Hedin, an assistant professor of physics, who was accused by the Freedom From Religion Foundation of indoctrinating science students in an honors seminar with a conservative, faith-based agenda promoting intelligent design.
In that case, Gora said in her July 31 ruling that intelligent design is "not appropriate content for science courses" because it is overwhelmingly deemed by the scientific community as a religious belief, not a scientific theory. Hedin remained a member of the physics and astronomy department.
"Although we believe that Professor Ramieri's apparent teaching of a one-sided course on religion should be allowed as part of academic freedom, BSU must now do unto its other professors as it has done unto Dr. Hedin, for the sake of self-consistency and legal compliance," West wrote.
Joan Todd, Gora's spokeswoman, told The Star Press that Ball State has received the institute's complaint letter and is reviewing it. She declined to comment further.

Backpacker Magazine – BACKPACKER.com Online Exclusive
A precious backcountry jewel amid the hardwood forests.
Contact Information:
Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Forbes State Forest Box 519 Laughlintown, PA 15655 (724) 238-9533 Location: Roaring Run is located in southwestern Pennsylvania, about 23 miles southeast of Pittsburgh and 25 miles northeast of Morgantown, West Virginia. Nearby towns include Somerset (10 miles) and Donegal (5 miles).
Getting There: From the Pennsylvania Turnpike, take the Donegal exit and follow Rt. 31 east. Turn right on Fire Tower Road near the summit of Laurel Ridge. This road forms the eastern and southern boundary of Roaring Run Natural Area. Fire Tower Road eventually merges into County Line Road and becomes part of the western boundary of the area.
Seasonal Information: The area is heavily used during summer, lightly used during fall, and rarely used during winter. Like all natural areas in Pennsylvania, it is open to hunting from about the end of September through the middle of January. Summer temperatures can range from the 50s at night to the 90s in the day. With Mt. Davis, the highest point in Pennsylvania nearby, winters can bring severe weather. The area receives many of the first hits of storms from the west.
Wildlife: Common are deer, turkeys, black bears, raccoons, squirrels, and chipmunks.
Insects: Contact park office for information.
Plant Life: Because of logging in the early 1900s and the 1960s, most of the forest consists of second- and third-growth hardwood stands of oak, birch, and sassafras. In autumn there are plenty of wild blueberries. Winter is the most tranquil season, when the loudest sound is the crack of hardwoods shedding frozen branches. Fiddleheads adorn the loose, dark soil in the spring.
Facilities: Camping is primitive backcountry. Most people camp along the trail. If you hike in from the western or southeastern parking areas, you can be at a campsite after three-quarters of a mile. This is especially convenient for families.
Parking: Five parking areas have been constructed for visitors. Two areas are located along the Fire Tower Road. Another is located near the Nedrow Cemetery and is reached via the Fire Tower Road and Township Road No. 301. One more parking area is located along the County Line Road.
Permits: A free permit for overnight visits is required.
Leave No Trace: Pack in, pack out.
All LNT guidelines apply.
Maps: Call ahead for a free topographic map.
Other Trip Options:
True hat overnight camping is not permitted in the natural area but Roaring run is bordered by Forbes State Forest that allows permit free backpack style camping. The Laurel Highland Hiking Trail and trail shelters are also withing a couple of miles of Roaring Run. In fact the LHHT intersects with a couple of trails in and around the natural area.
Since Roaring Run is designated a Natural Area there is no overnight camping permitted. So the advice about weekend trips should be disregarded.

Polis on listening tour, but will it yield results?
In the span of 30 minutes or so, Rep. Jared Polis promised to do what he could to either directly address or at least help address each and every one of those issues.
Polis was meeting with a handful of potential constituents - a roundtable of CEOs of some of the companies housed in the Rocky Mountain Innosphere in Fort Collins - and so, as a politician, naturally doing what he could to placate the audience.
Fortunately, this did not come across as par-for-the-course appeasement and glad-handing. Instead, Polis struck us as a sincere, if slightly distracted, fellow with ambitions to do the right thing for business interests.
Polis has represented Boulder as the congressman from the Second District since 2009. And now that the state Supreme Court has upheld new district boundaries, he might soon get the chance to work on behalf of the people of Larimer County - so long as he wins re-election in the fall.
Given their various and many differences, clumping Larimer and Weld together in the Fourth district never sat well with a lot of folks. Some people have the same concern now that Larimer and Boulder are joined together in the Second.
Whether that's a valid concern remains to be seen, but what Polis had to say about some of the issues important to businesses in Larimer County is no doubt of interest to companies across the district.
He promised to draft legislation - if another representative hadn't already done so - to make it possible to withdraw 401(k) dollars to start a business without being penalized for doing so.
He said he would push for more business-friendly rules regulating the exportation of certain technologies that now run afoul of Department of Defense restrictions - especially in instances in which overseas competitors are taking away market share from U.S. companies.
He expressed support for extending alternative-energy tax credits to help an industry still struggling to overcome market skepticism.
He said he would apply all of the pressure he could to persuade immigration authorities to embrace lower-cost alternatives to detention.
And he expressed support for increased monitoring of fracking operations.
Were he to succeed in each of these realms, Polis will have helped grow the fortunes of each of the CEOs at the roundtable. The rushed, few minutes that they spent with him will have been very much worth it.
Because we don't know him well yet, we should be keeping a close eye on Jared Polis. But we also hope for the best and have our fingers crossed.

Repair set for Peru Boat Launch
PERU — The Peru Docks Boat Launch on Lake Champlain will be temporarily closed on Wednesday, Oct. 10, so repairs can be made to ramp area, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
During the one-day closure, DEC will be filling in a hole and leveling a crest that formed behind the ramp. The hole and the crest, which were formed by the propeller wash from boaters powering loading their motorboats onto their boat trailers, are impairing the launching and retrieval of vessels and threaten to damage them.
A silt curtain will be placed in the water around the boat launch ramp to prevent sedimentation from entering the waters of the lake. The launch will reopen on Thursday, Oct. 11, provided there are no complications DEC said.
The launching and retrieving of boats will be easier and safer when the work has been completed.

With Andy Reid no longer in the picture, the Arizona Cardinals have received permission to interview Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley for their head coaching job, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The person asked not to be identified because the situation has not been made public.
Haley, former head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, was offensive coordinator for Arizona in the Cardinals' Super Bowl run in the 2008 season and has a good relationship with Cardinals President Michael Bidwill.
Bidwill had identified Reid as a candidate earlier this week but the longtime Philadelphia coach, fired by the Eagles on Monday, was close to finalizing a deal to coach the Chiefs and called off all other interviews.
The other known candidates for the Arizona job are Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.

---- — This weekend, students from Clinton Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh will walk across stages to accept their diplomas, as graduates from Paul Smith's College and North Country Community College did last Saturday.
In achieving their degrees, these women and men have joined about 39.3 percent (2010 U.S. Census figures) of Americans age 25 to 34 who have earned post-secondary degrees.
That alone is worth celebrating. People who are college educated earn far more in their lifetimes than those with only a high-school education, numerous studies have shown. That makes them coveted contributors to the nation's economy and brain power.
Even as their families watch with pride as they finish this stage of their education, today's graduates face many challenges. The American economy is gaining ground — the stock market provides daily evidence of that — but the job market is still weak, and many graduates will not have secured jobs in their field of study.
Some students will continue their education, moving on to pursue master's or doctorate degrees. Some will transition into internships, hoping those paid or unpaid positions will evolve into full-time jobs. Other graduates will take jobs that aren't linked to their majors, pleased just to have any kind of income.
For some students, graduation without an independence-sustaining paycheck will mean a return to living with their families — probably not the life that either the parents or children had hoped.
But, despite the somewhat gloomy job outlook, no one should lose sight of the fact that these students have achieved something amazing — something the majority of Americans have not done — by completing the intensive studies needed to earn their associate and bachelor's degrees.
Their hard work has made them more marketable, more knowledgeable in their fields. They may not be walking into their dream jobs, but they have given themselves an edge on the path to achievement.
It is important to our nation's financial stability and its future accomplishments that we keep investing in college education and that we make it affordable to all.
This week, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer spoke against a pending interest-rate increase for student loans. The interest rate on federally subsidized Stafford loans will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1. At this time, about 285,000 students in upstate New York colleges and universities are making use of Stafford loans, according to Schumer.
He said the rate increase could add more than $3,700 to loans over a 10-year payment period.
Congress lowered the interest rate In 2007, but that needs to be extended. We join Schumer in urging Congress to extend the 3.4 percent rate for two years.
Assuring students can pay their loans pays dividends for all of us.

We were also lucky enough to have the author of the Alaska Cruise Companion book with us. She really rounded out what the naturalist had to say.We went to every Scholarship at Sea presentation. Our cabin steward, Jorge was also very good.
Ok (not great): The food. The pizza I have been hearing so much about had barely any cheese on it. The dining room selections were very bland. The best night of food in the dining room was the last night. My mother who has sailed on the Golden Princess said this as well. I loved the coffee card and the International Cafe selections. I wish they had more whole grain pasta options. The service from the staff was ok. The dining room staff was nice, we had any time dining, but other staff members were not as cheerful or pleasant. I was surprised.
Cons: The Gym!!! They boast about fitness on the ship, but they only have 6 elliptical machines, and the gym does not open until 7 A.M. My husband had to leave our cabin at 6:30 every morning to get to the gym. He said when he got there, there were at least 20 people waiting to get in. Not everyone was able to work out at that time. We spoke to Passenger Services and they said they were aware of the issue, but there was nothing they could do.
We enjoyed this cruise to beautiful Alaska, however, my husband was so unhappy with the gym situation, that I do not think we will cruise with Princess Cruises again until they change their policies. Most hotels we travel to , and we are business travelers, have 24 hour work out rooms now. The cruise was not so amazing that we would make a point to go on this line again.

Olá Paul,fiquei encantada com o vídeo e com a música.
Viajei no tempo lembrando de vc menino e de como eu e o Carlaõ te curtimos, bons tempos…
Trevor Born says:
Hey Paul,
Paul Franco is a top notch instructor with unparalleled passion for the sport of kitesurfing. He understands the need for graduated instruction and development of skills and safety. This is a rare art in a sport that is complicated yet so incredibly fun and addictive. I have had instruction all over the world and Paul is the most competent and fun teacher i have met!
Trevor Born
Dr. Phil Montgomery says:
Paul is the real deal. By this I mean it is not often you get more than what you paid for and something greater than you could possibly imagine. If you want to learn to kite surf and you want to do it in the mecca of Maui it does not get any better than this.
adam koch photography says:
PAUl, I have had more fun with you in the last decade then my entire life combined… we have been lost in the woods on Haleakala with nothing but one red bull and our whits to get us back home… ridden way too large of waves… crossed the reef at lanes way too many times and even flown paragliders barefoot. Driven from the southern tip of France to Austria none stop from one competition to the next… The best part is we have just begun. I have learned so much from having a close friend like you to travel the globe. I truly would not be the person I am today without all of those life changing experiences. So the only question is… what's next brotha?
Aaron Culliney says:
Paul is the only guy I'd want as my teammate on Hawaiian island kiteboarding channel crossings. Not only is he a knowledgeable instructor and rider, but he is a great friend who won't let me down! Paul is good at planning and executing the "flight plan" while remaining flexible to changing conditions.
Mark Sethi says:
How do you even try and describe an amazing spirit like Paul? One word…EXTRORDINARY!! Paul has touched my life in a way that no other ever has. I spent a month with him in Maui last August learning to kiteboard. The catch is that 12 months earlier I lost my left leg above the knee in an accident. I never thought I would do anything close to what I accomplished with Paul! He not only took me on as a student, but as a friend. His method of teaching was so precise and adaptive, from basic kite control and body dragging, to modification of equipment and adjustment of prosthetic components…He has it all!! After nine days in the water with him, I was up and carving on the beautiful blue water…WHAT A FEELING! I can honestly say that with a little bit of motivation and a soul like Paul guiding you, the sky is the limit…I'm proof! Thank you soooo very much for touching my life, I wouldn't be where I am without you brotha…
Aloha -Mark Sethi
Arben Kryeziu says:
I tried many other instructors prior to Paul, all of them had the common found "let me just catch your kite" attitude. Paul was the only one that not only watched me every second of the session, but gave me constructive feedback that led me to become a confident kiteboarder/surfer. In the beginning he taught me how to upwind body-drag, a skill that helped me to regain my board in matter of seconds to this day. I feel blessed to know him and to be able to call him a friend, he is a true "Apeman Productions" Original! – or in more simple words, AUTHENTIC!
Jerry says:
Dear Paul,
Love the new look! Stoked to see you out and shredding yesterday – hope to see you in the water again soon!
Jim Bones says:
Paul Franco is THE MAN! If you want a loved one to learn kiteboarding. I recommend introducing them to Paul. Paul is the TOP instructor on Maui (All other instructors must pass his week long course before they are allowed to teach on Maui). His outstanding people skills and years of instructing have allowed him to bring people into the sport very quickly with safety and fun as the main goals. GO WITH PAUL OR DONT GO AT ALL!
Jim Bones Naish team rider.
tatiana says:
Paul is the best kitesurfing instructor on Maui. Highly recommended.
Niccolo Porcella, says:
Grande Paulone my older brother, uncle, long time friend i like your new site buddy very nice very nice:)haha can't wait to catch up with you soon go for a bird eyes view of haleakala then go for a kite session in some boms at lanes;)
talk soon looking forward ceeeheee
Jason Lewis says:
If I were in a fight for my life, Paul is a man I would want by my side. For those of you who regularly do extreme sports, I'm sure you've been there. I met Paul kiting and have done some of my greatest adventures as a result of him. When it comes to getting out in it, I have learned to trust in Paul. Beyond being one of the most competent, informed athletes I know, he has a unique talent so rare to a true teacher. He is capable of structuring knowledge and delivering it in a fashion that is more concerned with a person's ability to receive than his need to tell you how something is done. Paul is a hell of a good soul and I am proud and blessed to call him friend.
Jason Lewis says:
Oh and… Hi Paul! See you over there for some ripper's next week! Well done on the site!!!
Lauren McCollum says:
Paul….How can I put into words how much you've changed/enhanced my life? Initially, by being the finest instructor of the most amazing sport on the planet, kiting…(and I promise I'll ride the big(ger) waves with you this season!). But, more importantly you've become a close friend and a member of our family…You know, you're stuck with us forever now…Let's see the world together!!
All my love…..Lauren
Andre Nice says:
Parabens Paul !

Raquel Lima says:
So lucky to have you as my brother!:)
Thanks to you and all your help I am here in Maui living the dream.
You make me want to be a better person in every aspect of life.
Awesome video btw and lets hang soon, play some musica, ride some waves…
...... says:
k so one of my dads friends from work sold him a kiteboarding bar with ur name on it, short bar blue name, said he bought it in hawaii from someone on a beach, then just as i got into kitesurfing i was using the bar for learning nd stuff and we lost it, lol then i decided to look up ur name on the internet to see if u were like some random person and here i have come lol, and i live in eastern canada
Meli King says:
Aloha Paul,
I just came across your card you gave me & decided I should check out your site…. WOW! I had no idea you're so amazing!!
If I decide to go jump off Haleakala one day, you're the one I'm going to do it with!
P.S. If you're unsure who this is.. Here's a hint:
11/9/11….. Really Paul, Really? HAHA!!
Kelsey says:
Aloha Paul! You gave me wings the last week of January 2012!!! Thanks for the glide! You took some pics from way up high… if you still have them I'd love to see them! Kind regards – Kelsey ("little" blonde girl!) THANKS!
Charlie says:
Aloha, Paul! Last month you took my now 84 year-old buddy, Bill, for a paraglide which he'll never forget (neither will I – I went with Dexter). For someone who the last few years on our yearly trip to Hawai'i said "No way!" when I asked if he'd like to give it a try, you sure made my surprise birthday gift to him memorable. After watching the video on your web site, maybe next year you can teach him to kiteboard? What do you think? ;-)Mahalo!!
Charlie (and Bill) from New Jersey
John Hausman says:
Im going to Maui end of June for 13 days, would be cool to learn wake kite and paragliding. staying in wailea.
steven martin says:
I was fortunate enough to get a lesson with Paul yesterday. Amazing… Simply Amazing… He is the real deal.
Mandi says:
Paragliding was amazing! A great adventure for any vacation

RC4 Wireless has completed numerous tests over the past 18 months, documenting the successful use of multiple RC4Magic Wireless DMX systems in the same space to provide up to 15 separate DMX universes.
New RC4Magic Series 2 Technology, debuting at USITT Stage Expo in Houston and available now, provides three different private IDs and one public ID with each transmitter. Up to 15 transmitters can operate simultaneously, each with a unique ID, and will communicate only with other devices on the same ID. Thus, a single user can utilize multiple universes, or—more typically—multiple RC4Magic users can operate in the same space without interfering with each other. No coordination between users is required; RC4Magic takes care of frequency and ID management entirely automatically. If multiple users want to combine systems or pool receivers, they can be operated on the public ID to provide one large system on the same DMX universe.
"The importance of multiple DMX universes in the same space has been a priority for us from day one, and has been offered with RC4Magic since initial release," boasts James David Smith, president of RC4 Wireless.
RC4Magic Series 2 provides precise replication of channel count and packet rate. "Most DMX consoles generate effects in sync with DMX data generation— if you've got 30 packets per second coming out, effects will look best if DMX data is maintained at 30 pps throughout your system," explains Smith. "With any number of channels at any update rate coming in, RC4Magic Series 2 receivers will generate precisely the same metrics at every wireless output."
As wireless technology is embraced by more and more users, awareness of data integrity and cost-benefit ratios also grows. "Like most digital technology, RC4Magic continues to improve year over year. It is our mandate to offer a small and reasonably priced package with the best possible performance," says Smith.
James David Smith, along with several guest lighting designers and electricians, will be presenting a seminar at the USITT Conference and Stage Expo in Houston. "Wireless DMX and Dimming in Practice" will be presented on Wednesday March 19, 2008, at 4:30pm.

3.8/5 rDev +3.3%
A: Dark brown, just a bit of head
S: Rich chocolate malt, hint of vanilla, alcohol is present in background, a lingering sweetness
T: Sweet yet robust malt, hints of chocolate and vanilla present, get a slight burnt sugar/brown sugar taste, just a slight bitterness in the background - a really festive winter ale!
M: Rich and creamy, but not too thick, very smooth finish, with a nice warmth from the alcohol, if I had a fireplace, you god damn better believe I'd be drinking this beauty in front of it, naked, wrapped in bear fur
O: Well done, Dead Frog has never dissapointed me and this winter ale is right up there with the best of them.

This one was disappearing quickly from the shelves of the local beer store, so I picked up a 650ml bottle.
A - Deep brown with modest head. Good head retention.
S - Chocolate, sweet aroma.
T - Bitter dark chocolate, burnt caramel, vanilla, just a hint of coffee.
M - Rich feel with mild carbonation. Flavour hangs around a while.
O - An above average winter ale offering. At 7.5% ABV, it's a satisfying strong brew to enjoy après skis or after other winter activities. Recommended.

4.33/5 rDev +17.7%
A-Pours a clear brownish color with burgundy colored hues when held up against the light. The head is very relaxed, with very little foam created off of the pour....just a patchy thin layer of off white bubblework. Carbonation appears to be fine and methodical in it's ascent to the top of the glass....lacing is also modest, but shows some promise, as opposed to the head itself. Average looking at best unfortunately.
S- Very sweet smelling overall, with a dominant aroma of caramel and chocolate....reminds me of what a proper cola smells like. Blended into the aroma and wafting into my nasal cavity are milk chocolate, vanilla, rum cake, caramel, brown sugar, barley malt, and hints of dark fruit such as plums and raisins. The finish is very rich, with hop profile taking a long back seat. Very deep and alluring for sure!
T- Ahhh, this is what a true Winter Ale should taste like! Huge flavors that follow the aromas closely, with big chocolate and sweet toffee flavors abound! On the back end, I do taste the flavor of creamy vanilla, rich sweet rum....brought out by the 7.5% alcohol content, brown sugar and on the finish, the dryness of coffee even! Hop profile is minimal, but there is just a hint of citrus left behind!
M- Rich and full bodied for sure! The carbonation is very fine and each bubble burst enhances the overall flavor profile! This is like drinking a sweet, sticky dessert! Again, rum cake would be a great analogy but a dark fruit cake would be a good comparison as well!
O- This is one helluva beer, and is very accurate within the style! It's rich and full in every regard, from aromas to flavor to mouthfeel, this one does it well! The carbonation is mellow, and only exemplifies the overall character, and the alcohol content only enhances this and doesn't overbear. I know I'm enjoying this out of season, but I don't believe that this is past its' best before date....I think it may be better with age! I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a deep brew!

3.71/5 rDev +0.8%
A - clear cedar brown, one thumb of tan head settled at a consistent thin cover, minimal lacing
S - deep nutty and sugary aromas, a bloodlike aspect, strong vanilla finish
T - big vanilla up front with chocolate malt assistance, some nutty and burnt sugar aspects, molasses, and hints of spice
M - medium to lightish body, smooth through the middle, with a late but pleasant warming quality
O - More impressed by this offering than I have been by anything from Dead Frog in quite some time, way better than their xmas beeracle, well worth picking one up to try

Dead Frog's Christmas Beeracle ruined last Christmas. I wasn't going to buy this one, but there it was under the tree. So I'm drinking the bottle on Boxing Day...for science.
It pours with moderate-to-small white-beige head and a deep dark red-brick red, but clear, body. A liquorice aroma immediately hits me. After a minute I get a refreshing evergreen (pine?) aroma, walnut, and a small (dull) amount of vanilla. The taste is unexpectedly stronger than the aroma suggests. Most evident is the dark ripe fruit (fruit cake) of most winter ales. The liquorice continues into the taste, as well as a stronger vanilla.
Overall, it is much deeper and darker than their Christmas Beeracle. It's a definite improvement but there is still more to adjust. I had to drink it slowly to appreciate it. It is a decent winter ale.
Edit the day after: I should have mentioned how strong this beer is: 750 mL at 7.5%. After drinking the bottle I enjoyed a walk, with my dog, in -34 Celsius weather.

3.7/5 rDev +0.5%
650ml bottle. New name, new recipe, and new ABV. Seems new enough to me.
This beer pours a clear, dark bronzed amber hue, with two fingers of loosely foamy, somewhat creamy dirty white head, which leaves a few broadly-spanning up-swells of ocean spray lace around the glass as it slowly settles.
It smells of sweet bready caramel malt, sugary vanilla, orange creamsicle, citrus vodka, and leafy, floral hops. The taste is more big caramel/toffee malt, a kind of muddled orange juice smoothie fruitiness, vanilla cream, a soft alcohol edge, a bit of an indistinct tangy sourness, and some languid leafy, bitter hops.
The bubbles are fairly laid-back, but supportive enough, the body an adequate medium weight, with a very slight, ethereal astringency, but is otherwise smooth. It finishes off-dry, the vanilla, orange, and alcohol taking a step or three down in sweetness, the malt going sort of bready, and the hops still a bit tweaked in their saucy bitterness.
A tasty enough affair, the 'winter' influences here limited to the boozy vanilla citrus notes, which are usually more universal, but I suppose can be applied to the current season's context. Worthy of a go, as its warming aspects cannot be denied, whether you're apres-ski or not.

Early morning mild weather will add to the possibility of some fog in the morning; typical temps are still expected in the afternoon hours. Scattered clouds for today will combine with temps in the mid to upper 60s. And the have already shifted, pushing out of the NW 10-15 mph. Cold air will move into our area by late this afternoon.
Tonight we shall have a visit from 'Jack Frost' personally in the deep south; and he's going to be around for the entire weekend. Temps will drop into the lower 30s and winds staying light. Freeze advisories will be throughout the south and southeast portions of the state.
Tomorrow the sunshine will be a sham; cold weather will accompany what will look like a warm day. Nothing could be farther from the truth at sunshine will be in abundance, but so will much lower temps. Expect highs in the lower 50s, then dropping to the 20s overnight. So be sure to pull out your winter coats!

The branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) leucine, isoleucine and valine are three of the eight essential amino acids the human body must receive in food. Branched chain amino acids are proven to reduce muscle breakdown during training by stimulating an anabolic state throughout the workout. BCAA's can raise insulin and can act in cooperation with glutamine as an efficient muscular fuel source.
How can BCAAs work for you? Generally speaking, BCAA supplementation is used most frequently by body builders and athletes undergoing intense exercise. However, some research suggests that BCAAs may play a supportive role in treating some conditions. For athletes, BCAA supplementation prior to exercise may boost muscle performance and improve recovery after periods of intense workouts. BCAAs taken 1-2 hours before intense training spare testosterone and muscle BCAA during training, and increase testosterone levels after training.
Glutamine has been added as a preferred source of fuel for the intestinal cells and is in high demand by skeletal muscles following physical exertion. Vitamin B6 enhances amino acid metabolism.
