SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Julia Mancuso got the ball rolling with an almost forgotten bronze medal on the day when Lindsey Vonn had a season-ending crash.
Ted Ligety followed with three golds to earn the title from local media of "Der Koenig von Schladming" -- "The King of Schladming."
And 17-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin capped a historic world championships for the U.S. Ski Team by fighting off a serious case of nerves to win the slalom title.
In the end, even without Vonn and Bode Miller -- who is sitting out this season to recover from left knee surgery -- the U.S. led the worlds' medals table -- the first non-European nation to achieve the feat.
U.S. Alpine director Patrick Riml says, "The rest of our team is stepping up so big."

basic questions about mobile development
I'm building my first mobile site (mobile only, not responsive), I just have some basic questions I was hoping someone could help me with or point me in the right direction to get started. Thanks in advance.
1. Is it safe to assume that javascript is alway on, or should I code fallbacks incase js is off?
2. With CSS properties, do I need to worry about browser prefixes? For example, would I need to do this:
Code CSS:
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #2F2727, #1a82f7); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #2F2727, #1a82f7);
or could I just the CSS3 standard:
Code CSS:
background: linear-gradient(black, white);
3. I am building nested navigation almost identical to this: http://ui-cloud.com/res/designmoo/Ac.../accordion.jpg
except the sub nav will slide up. Should I build this the same way I would for a desktop browser, maybe like a jQuery accordion? Or is there just a better way to do this with iPhone/mobile? Are CSS transitions better to use on mobile?

1. You would create the site with the same parameters for JS as your regular site, as they'll be using a variety of browsers. Only you know if your users tend to turn JS off or not. Are they browser-savvy users like that?
2. Since your site will be seen across several browsers, I suggest using browser prefixes. However, they are quickly becoming obsolete with the newer versions of the browsers. So ... you would include them to support earlier versions, then decide when to stop supporting them.
3. I suggest using patterns already developed specifically for mobile, such as Zurb Foundation, Skeleton, and others. This article gives several suggestions: http://exisweb.net/incredibly-useful...-menu-patternsSteve Husting

Robert Gibbs should apologise to the British press for his sneering rant
Politico has an extraordinary report on Robert Gibbs, the White House Press Secretary, launching a furious broadside against the British press. Here are Gibbs' sneering and condescending remarks:
"I want to speak generally about some reports I've witnessed over the past few years in the British media," Gibbs said. "In some ways, I'm surprised it filtered down."
"Let's just say if I wanted to look up, if I wanted to read a write-up of how Manchester United fared last night in the Champions League Cup, I'd might open up a British newspaper," he continued. "If I was looking for something that bordered on truthful news, I'm not entirely sure it'd be the first pack of clips I'd pick up."
Gibbs' juvenile comments followed an article in The Daily Telegraph relating to the President's decision not to release new photos reportedly showing appalling prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib by a tiny minority of military personnel. The straightforward news piece, hotly disputed by the White House, is based upon an interview with Major General Antonio Taguba, who oversaw the inquiry into the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal.
For the record I firmly believe the President was right to refuse to release the photos in the face of pressure from the ACLU, which would only further inflame anti-American sentiment across the Muslim world. However I cannot recall an instance like this where the President's official spokesman has blasted the press of a key ally – in this case America's closest friend, Great Britain.
This kind of attack would normally be made against the likes of the North Korean or Iranian state media, but in the current climate of "engagement" with America's enemies the White House is far more likely to attack its own allies. Gibbs' remarks have echoes of a senior State Department official's anti-British statements to The Sunday Telegraph after the appalling handling of the Prime Minister's visit in March.
Can you imagine Gibbs making these remarks about The New York Times or The Washington Post, or NBC, ABC or CBS? This would never happen. The British press, especially the Telegraph, has been singled out because they frequently publish articles critical of the Obama administration and are not afraid to take on the status quo in Washington. Increasingly, millions of Americans are turning to online UK news websites for cutting edge reports on American politics and U.S. foreign policy that the mainstream media refuses to cover in the States, especially if it is unflattering to the Obama White House.
Robert Gibbs' completely unwarranted rant against the British press is an absolute disgrace, and the President should disown his views. An unreserved apology by Gibbs is also in order.
For all its talk of "raising America's standing" in the world after the Bush years, the Obama administration is doing a spectacularly bad job of reaching out to its allies. Unfortunately this is the new face of America's public diplomacy, which will only serve to alienate public opinion across the Atlantic. Congratulations Gibbs – you've just made an enemy out of the entire British media, quite an achievement for the man in charge of selling the President's message.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Kg Nike coaching shoes Shoe style and truff cleats are great , but rubs on my foot close to toes it on ce in 1 width that is only problem other wise great shoe July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sasie Diamond Trainer Baseball Shoes My son loves these better than the molded cleats. These fit more like a regular tennis shoe. Purchased these because my son played in the World Series in PCB and you can't wear metal cleats on the pitchers mound. They recommend tennis shoes, so I bought these and they are like turf shoes and grip the mound better than tennis shoes. This age group has to wear the tennis/turf shoe in order not to tear up the turf mounds. No biggy and he can wear these for fall ball practice. Good investment for my son. July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jaime11 This product is very comfortable. These shoes are great and comfortable. Pricing is comparable to all other Trainer shoes. However, a week after I purchased the shoes, I found them less expensive at Sport Chalet. It would be great if there was a price match within 7 or 14 days and money returned. July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nick Great Comfortable Show This is a great shoe. I only use for coaching but it is a very comfortable shoe. I coached 7 games this last weekend and was on my feet most of the day. At the end of the day my feet did not hurt, this shoe gives great support June 25, 2014

Outreach - Congress Due to Reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act
Feb 2, 2011
This year Congress is due to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). First passed in 1994, VAWA has been reauthorized twice, most recently in 2005. It authorizes about $800 million a year, with the bulk of funds directed to improve the law enforcement and the criminal justice response to victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The more recent reauthorization, however, also provided funds for services for sexual assault survivors, tribal and underserved communities, and children exposed to violence, and for programs working with men and youth and health care interventions. VAWA is the largest and best-known law addressing domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Local advocacy is critically important to ensuring that Congress fully funds authorized programs in 2011. Below are some talking points and facts to use in educational materials, letters and emails to lawmakers and the media, and in other ways. Make sure to adapt them to reflect your unique voice, experience and views.
Talking Points
- Domestic, dating and sexual violence are pervasive problems in our community, and every community. Every day four to five women are murdered by their intimate partners and too many teens and women live in fear of domestic violence, rape, sexual assault and other forms of violence. [Insert local statistic.]
- We must do much more to stop this violence – to protect the teens and young women who suffer the highest rates of rape, sexual assault, stalking and domestic abuse – and to teach the next generation that violence is always wrong.
- Here in [community name], we are lucky to have programs like [local program] that protect victims.
- But these programs are endangered by state funding cuts, and we aren't putting enough resources into prevention. [Add fact/antidote on how budget cuts have already affected the community.]
- The Violence Against Women Act can help. Since it was enacted in 1994, it has provided life-saving assistance to women, men and children across the country.
- We need Congress to reauthorize and fully fund the legislation this year, and to put more money into [prevention, teaching teens about healthy relationships, training health care providers to help patients facing abuse, and encouraging men and boys to be part of the solution].
- Especially during these tough economic times, when victims depend on the system more than ever, we need Congress to prioritize reauthorizing VAWA. Stopping domestic violence, sexual assault and teen dating violence and protecting victims is urgent.
- There are solutions to the violence that pervades our society. There is real hope that we can stop domestic and sexual violence. VAWA is the largest federal law addressing domestic violence, teen dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Congress must reauthorize VAWA to invest more resources into building healthy communities – for our children and their children.

The Winona school board met again Monday night to continue a discussion about restructuring the district to make it fiscally solvent.The term is called "reduction in force," and it's a statewide policy that would allow the district to eliminate, curtail, or restructure programs as they see fit.First-year Winona superintendent Denise Shetter said in an interview Monday that the district won't decide on which programs will be restructured until the second week of May.Shetter says she's recommending a reduction in force plan to help the district get a better grip on its finances."For the last four years, we have approved a deficit budget," she said. "And even though things have happened during the year that we didn't go in the hole or we weren't as far in the hole as we projected, we still need to get a hold of our expenses. And in the school district, personnel is one of the largest expenses you have."In December, the board was presented with options for areas, like transportation or maintenance, where they might be able to cut expenditures.At a packed meeting in February, the board named the programs they are proposing be changed. They include elementary ESL and resource and training classes, the middle school technology program, and looking at personnel changes in the high school's math, English, and business departments and at campus and district administration positions."As we came through and we started looking at our programs, how many students they served, what it cost us, we had to ask ourselves are there other ways we can do it?" Shetter said. "Still getting our kids the services they need, but still making it as most efficient and effective as we can."Janie McNutt says she worries about proposed larger class sizes for her 6th grade son, who is in special education classes."With the larger classroom sizes, it's very difficult for these kids that are slow learners to begin with to, in my opinion, for them to be able to keep up as well as the teachers to be able to teach them the way they need," said McNutt.The district operates an $8.3 million annual budget. They had a budget deficit of about $330,000 last year and $500,000 this year, but ended up spending about $720,000 less than what they'd budgeted last year, leaving them with about $4.3 million in the bank at the end of the last budget year."So you still believe you need to make more cuts?" I asked Shetter. "I still think that we need to balance our budget, and we need to reallocate staff based on our priorities," she said. "I don't believe that anything I have presented to the public about being overstaffed is wrong."Monday night's meeting was so crowded it was moved halfway through from the district's board room to the middle school cafeteria.The board heard a presentation from the maintenance and custodial department about its finances, but no recommendations were made on how to reduce costs.And local teachers and citizens spoke out against the reduction in force plan during public comment."Teachers and students alike are distracted, plain and simple," said Winona teacher Patrice Coulter. "The administration and board have postponed the announcement of the employees that will be directly impacted by the RIF until May. How can teachers focus on educating students if they're not sure how stable their position will be?""Board members, you are investors of my tax dollars. I invested in a retirement account at work, and I have the option to choose how that's invested. I don't have the option to do that here," said Winona resident Justin Mitchell. "Ultimately, that goes through you, but I can tell you this: if I'm not satisfied with that, I can't change how that's invested, but I can change who invests it."The board did not respond to the public comment, but Shetter said in her interview earlier Thursday she knows the proposed cuts may be hard to absorb."We have the potential of losing some really good teachers," Shetter said. "But when you're looking at the big picture and how do we want to strategically align these programs for the best of our students, those are things we have to consider."The board voted to hold special meetings on both April 1 and 8 at 6:30 p.m.Shetter said Thursday the board wants to hold as many meetings as they can to hear all their options before having to decide for sure on the reduction in force plan.The district says they've also been holding meetings in the community and plan to keep doing so to keep answering parents' questions.

By Mary Hoff
I could hardly believe my eyes. Growing up in a small town in northeastern Wisconsin, I had heard so much about the mighty Mississippi River. It traced a fat, blue path down the middle of the U.S. map that hung on the wall of my third-grade classroom, forming part of the border between my state and its "Out West" neighbors, Minnesota and Iowa.
Indians and French explorers paddled the Mississippi through the pages of my history book. Reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I imagined floating on a rough-hewn raft in its muddy water.
Full-color PDF of "A Most Amazing River"
Teachers guide for "A Most Amazing River"
Then suddenly there I was, on the second day of a car trip to Colorado with my dad and my brother, standing on its bank. I watched as the dark, wide water flowed by, awestruck because the river appeared immense to me.
Then I did what any 12-year-old would do: I picked up a rock and chucked it in.
All along its nearly 600-some-mile course through Minnesota, the Mississippi provides habitat for plants, animals, and other living things.
The river starts in Lake Itasca, in the land of forests and bogs. At first it is small, shallow, and wild. Cattails and sedges line its banks. Along the river, you can see beavers, great blue herons, bald eagles, turtles, and snakes. Redbelly dace, white sucker, and northern pike swim in the river here.
As it flows through northern Minnesota, the Mississippi gathers water from streams and lakes along the way. It gets bigger and bigger. The land that surrounds it shifts from forest to farmland, homes, and businesses. Dams slow the water's flow and create pools of water. Silt and chemicals flow in from cities and farm fields. By the time the river gets to the Twin Cities, it doesn't look very wild anymore.
Still, many plants and animals find their homes in or along the southern stretch of Minnesota's Mississippi River. In winter, eagles gather near open water to search for fish. Migrating swans rest near its shores. Flathead catfish, white bass, and freshwater drum swim beneath the surface. Mussels lie at the bottom, filtering food from the water. You might see otters, mink, muskrats, turtles, wood ducks, and other wildlife along its banks.
The Mississippi River guides over 300 species of birds as they migrate north in the spring and south in the fall. Some 40 percent of all waterfowl that migrate through the United States use the Mississippi as a flyway to and from their breeding grounds. In spring and fall, watch for canvasbacks, gadwalls, pelicans, and swans.
Many Minnesotans boat or fish on the river and on Lake Bemidji, Lake Winnibigoshish, and other lakes it runs through. Water skiing was invented in 1922 on Lake Pepin, a widening of the Mississippi River south of Red Wing. Eleven of Minnesota's state-record fish were caught in the Mississippi: white bass, bigmouth buffalo, river carpsucker, channel catfish, freshwater drum, shortnose gar, quillback, sauger, shovelnose sturgeon, blue sucker, and walleye-sauger hybrid. The record shovelnose sturgeon was caught near Red Wing just last June.
The name Mississippi comes from the Ojibwe Misi-ziibi, meaning "Great River." Before European settlers arrived in what we now call Minnesota, the Indian people were the main inhabitants of the banks of the Mississippi. They used the water for drinking, cooking, and washing. They speared fish and harvested mussels from the river. They paddled canoes upstream and down to find food and fight battles. They used clay from the river to paint their canoes and baskets.
Following Marquette and Joliet's Mississippi River voyage in 1673, other European explorers began to use the Mississippi as a pathway into the wilderness. They found vast pine forests in its upper reaches in north-central Minnesota.
When lumberjacks began cutting the trees in northern Minnesota in the mid-1800s, the upper Mississippi carried logs downstream to sawmills in Minneapolis. The mills cut them into boards to be used to build homes, stores, and other buildings for the people settling in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and other cities along the Mississippi River.
In 1823 the steamboat Virginia brought travelers from St. Louis, Missouri, up the river to St. Paul for the first time. In 1854 a railroad connected the Mississippi River in Illinois with cities in the eastern United States, and the rush was on! With the river as a highway from Illinois north, many settlers were able to come to Minnesota to begin a new life, enough to have Minnesota declared a state in 1858.
All those settlers in Minnesota produced many things, such as wheat and other farm products, flour, lumber, cloth, and yarn. The Mississippi was the highway they used to ship their products to market downriver. Tools, furniture, cotton, and other necessities were shipped up the river to Minnesota's fast-growing cities and towns.
In the late 1800s, the federal government began installing wing dams to channel or hold back water along the Mississippi River. The dams made the water deeper, so large boats didn't hit the bottom when they carried their loads up and down the river. In the early 1900s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began building a series of dams with locks (elevatorlike passages to let boats through) to make it even better traveling for even bigger boats.
Today the Minnesota stretch of the Mississippi River has 11 locks and dams. Barges haul millions of tons of coal, wheat, gravel, petroleum, cement, and other goods up and down the river each year.
In the 1800s people built sawmills and flour mills alongside the river. To run the machines that cut wood into boards or ground grain into flour, the mills used the power from rushing water at St. Anthony Falls, the only major waterfall on the Mississippi.
Today those mills are gone, but 10 hydroelectric power plants use the energy in the running water of Minnesota's Mississippi River to turn huge turbines that produce electrical current. This electricity keeps light bulbs, furnaces, air conditioners, computers, and cell-phone chargers working. Coal-fired and nuclear power plants also generate electricity along the river and use the river's water for cooling their steam generators.
If you live in St. Cloud, Minneapolis, or St. Paul, you can turn on a tap in your house and see Mississippi water. These cities draw water from the river, clean it, and send it through pipes to homes for drinking, cooking, and washing.
The river also serves as a place to send water. Every Minnesota city along the Mississippi River from Bemidji to the Iowa border sends treated wastewater from toilets, sinks, and tubs out into the river. Drains on city streets channel storm water into the river. Water from farmland runs into streams that run into the river. The Mississippi drains more land than any other river in the nation. Along with water, the river carries about 436,000 tons of sand and soil downstream per day.
With so many uses and so many people living on the land that drains into it, the Mississippi has had some hard times staying healthy.
Dams disrupt the travels of fish and other water creatures. Dams also prevent the seasonal fall of water to its natural low level. This has made it hard for plants that need exposure to air and light to sprout and grow along the shallows. This in turn makes the river less inviting to shorebirds, ducks, and other animals that otherwise might thrive along its banks.
Nonnative species such as carp and zebra mussels have gotten into the river. These animals are called invasive because they invade the habitat. They compete with native species for food and space. Carp muddy the water by stirring up the bottom as they search for food. Invasive species make it harder for native species to thrive.
From the early 20th century until the 1970s, the section of the Mississippi River that flows through Minneapolis and St. Paul was so polluted few animals could live there. Encouraged by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and other laws, local, regional, state, and federal governments worked together to reduce pollution.
Today peregrine falcons hunt the river's banks. Bass, pike, and other wild fish swim right through the Twin Cities. Endangered Higgins eye pearly mussels are starting to thrive again in the Mississippi. The Mississippi is healthier than it has been in a long time, but growing cities continue to threaten the health of the river.
Did you ever try to skip a stone in the water? You can skip your way down the Mississippi River by stopping at each of the nine state parks found along the way.
The Mississippi starts at Lake Itasca in Itasca State Park. The head (beginning) of the river used to be a swamp. In the early 1900s, workers changed the path so it would flow as a clear stream. Then they added rocks so visitors could walk across it.
The Mississippi River flows diagonally through Lake Bemidji. At Lake Bemidji State Park, you can sometimes take a naturalist-led pontoon tour of the lake and see the Mississippi.
Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, the first white man to find the source of the Mississippi, once camped in the vicinity of what is now Schoolcraft State Park. You can camp here and maybe catch a fish from the Mississippi River for breakfast too.
Crow Wing State Park marks the spot where the Red River oxcart trail, a 19th-century "highway" for fur traders, crossed the Mississippi. Watch for blue-winged teal, pied-billed grebes, and double-crested cormorants as you hike the riverside trail.
The first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean nonstop in an airplane, Charles Lindbergh, grew up on the banks of the Mississippi at what is now Charles A. Lindbergh State Park. You can visit his house, a historic site, and imagine how living here helped make Lindbergh an adventurer!
The Mississippi and Minnesota rivers merge at Fort Snelling State Park in St. Paul. Instead of the thick bogs and tall pines of the north, the river is lined here with marshes and cottonwood, silver maple, and willow trees.
Long before European settlers arrived, Indian people fished from the Mississippi in the place we now call Frontenac State Park near Red Wing. The river widens here into Lake Pepin. Watch for eagles as you hike or picnic.
Early riverboat captains used three bluffs they called Faith, Hope, and Charity as landmarks as they navigated the stretch of the Mississippi River near what is now John A. Latsch State Park. You can take a half-mile trail to the top of Mount Charity for a "big-picture" look at the river.
Long ago American Indians built burial and effigy mounds in what is now Great River Bluffs State Park. Unusual habitats here include treeless, thin-soiled bluffland called goat prairie and a stand of northern white cedar. Hike up high and wave to the Mississippi River as it continues on its way south to the Gulf of Mexico.

Jeff Burton has had what he calls a "miserable" season. But on Saturday night, he was anything but miserable – thanks to a runner-up finish in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
"We've had a miserable year, and to get out of Daytona with a second-place finish, we ought to be happy," Burton said. "... Hopefully it's something that'll kick start our year a little bit. It's been a difficult year, and hopefully we can build on this."
RESULTS: Check out the full finishing order from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series summer race at Daytona.
Avoiding the chaos which typically unfolds at Daytona goes a long way to ensuring a driver leaves with a respectable finish. And on a night when 33 of the 43 starters were involved in one of the six accidents which marred the race, Burton was one of the few drivers who kept his nose clean and his car intact.
And for that, he was rewarded for his efforts.
But as has been the case throughout 2012, it wouldn't be a race if Burton didn't have one thing or another going against him. Saturday night, it was an engine that continually overheated – a constant thorn in the side in plate races this year for the entire Richard Childress Racing organization.
"We had the trouble at Talladega as well," Burton said. "We were just too hot. We can't run a whole race racing the way we really want to race. It's not one thing wrong, it's just I think we have a package issue that's just not working with this combination. We had the tandem thing figured out really well, but we're just a little behind on this, it seems like."
For a driver and team that needed a good finish of any kind, a second-place result is more than welcome. However, success at Daytona doesn't necessarily equate to success elsewhere. And Burton quickly shot down the notion after the race that this finish will create some much-needed momentum for the 31 team.
"Our success or failure tonight doesn't dictate our success or failure next week," Burton said. "It feels good tonight, it'll feel good tomorrow, and then Monday it'll be back to work.
"It's always good to have finishes, but we need to put a string of finishes together. ... That's my largest concern."

Troopers opened southbound Interstate 85 early Thursday after a fatal crash shut it down for several hours.
The accident happened at mile marker 80 on I-85 southbound in Spartanburg County about 6:50 p.m. Wednesday.
Troopers said an 18-wheeler and two cars were involved in the crash, but haven't released any details about how it happened. The Highway Patrol had an accident reconstruction team on the scene investigating the crash early Thursday morning.
Troopers said a woman who was riding in the passenger seat of a Ford Taurus died at the scene. The woman who was driving the vehicle was injured and taken to the hospital.
Two other passengers riding in a Cadillac were also taken to the hospital, and the truck driver was taken to the hospital for observation, according to authorities.
The coroner, Rusty Clevenger, identified the victim as 65-year-old Brenda Sue Hope Morphew of Spartanburg. Morphew was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the collision, Clevenger said.
Clevenger said the investigation remains ongoing.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A bill to grant immunity to businesses and places of worship if they don't ban firearms from their premises has cleared an Oklahoma Senate committee.
Republican Sen. AJ Griffin of Guthrie presented her bill to the Senate Public Safety Committee Thursday, where it passed without opposition and now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
The proposal also would shield employers from legal liability if they don't ban employees from bringing guns onto the business' property.
Griffin's proposal is among dozens of gun-related bills moving through Oklahoma's legislature. Most of them intend to strengthen or protect current gun rights amid increased interest recently in gun legislation across the country.

WASHINGTON — For those who fly, the squeeze has become the way to beat the system.
"We take the maximum amount on board and squeeze it in," said Susan Williams, explaining how she and and her family avoid baggage fees on flights from Reagan National Airport.
The art of the squeeze is a matter of measurements. When Ross Davis flew to San Francisco last week he paid $25 to check his larger bag but squeezed his other bag, five inches smaller, into the overhead compartment.
American taxpayers are feeling the squeeze, too, even those who never board an airplane.
When the major airlines began charging fees for baggage a few years ago, the rationale they announced was straightforward: Fuel prices had spiked dramatically. Rather than increase ticket prices just as dramatically, airlines would charge for baggage.
Since then, they have collected $12.8 billion for something that once was free.
That has allowed the major airlines — called the legacy carriers — to keep their ticket prices competitive with low-cost airlines.
For taxpayers, however, here is the catch:
There's a 7.5 percent federal tax on every airline ticket. The money goes into a fund that pays for the air transportation system: airports, capital improvements and the operation of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
But in nine of the past 11 years, the amount of money flowing into that fund — mostly ticket-tax revenues — has fallen short of projections. When that happens, Congress can increase general fund contributions to cover the FAA's budget. In both fiscal 2009 and 2010, Congress appropriated an additional amount of almost $1 billion.
When the airlines kept ticket prices down by shifting $12.8 billion to baggage fees, they also saved almost $964 million in federal taxes they would have owed if they had hiked ticket prices by that amount.
Was it a windfall, or was it salvation for a beleaguered industry?

Israel: No dispute over Iran timeframe - 0 Comments
JERUSALEM — Israel and the U.S. are on the same page regarding the need to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, an official said Saturday night after President Barack Obama told The Associated Press that Iran is at least a year away from the bomb.
Obama, in a wide-ranging interview with AP, disclosed that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Iran continues to be a year or more away from having the capability to make a nuclear weapon. Israel contends Tehran is on a faster course and could be just months away from breakout capacity.

Got in to Grand Rapids after a 17 hour bus ride. There was 90 minutes til closing time, so we found the bar closest to our hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. There was a $2 cover, and drinks were dirt cheap, compared to where I come from in Boston. I spent $10, including tip, on a Bell's and Bailey's. A mixed crowd of locals, out of towners, young folks standing around the bar and older folks at tables. The bartenders were fast and friendly. There was someone playing a guitar and singing, mostly songs from the 90s. Lots of wooden tables created a homey, living-room feel. Probably 15-20 taps-- the standard BMCs, Bell's, 2 Sam Adams (regular and Cherry Wheat), Woodchuck Cider, Newcastle, and a few I'd never heard of. Definitely worth stopping by, probably a last call kind of bar.

This pseudo Irish pub is walking distance from Founder's in the heart of downtown. Not a whole lot to the place. Nice patio outside, some tables inside, a pool table, a few tvs, and a couple video games. Food is decent pub grub. I've had it a few times and its fine, does its job but nothing phenomenol. Tap selection is good with some finds you won't see anywhere else in G.R. Double diamond, Stell, Two Hearted (all year round), and a few more. About 15-20 taps in general with about double that in bottles. Good deals on tap beer on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On the weekend this place gets a little dead which is weird, but decent crowds during the week. Good place to begin when going downtown or going for a bite to eat after Founder's.

You remember Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.
And if you don't? It's not his fault.
He'll be 70 in May, but he hasn't given up the one thing he loves more than anything else in this world, the one thing that made him a superstar: professional wrestling.
"I have a hard time trying to stay away from the business," he says in a rasp that instantly brings you back to the glory days of the early '80s, when he was on television, wild-eyed and ranting about exacting revenge on fellow wrestlers Don Muraco and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
Snuka last wrestled about a month ago, at a benefit in Michigan. The days of performing his acrobatic signature move, the "Superfly Splash," from the top rope, are long gone. Now, thanks to a bum ankle, he can only leap from the second rope. But, he's still the Superfly, and for fans who pay to see him, isn't that really all that matters?
His is a life full of contradictions. He's made his living—and admittedly, millions of dollars that came and went—in a business that boils down to one man or woman savagely beating another, even if the action is choreographed. Yet, Snuka detests conflict outside the ring, and does everything he can to avoid it. His body has been his living, yet he abused it for decades with booze, cigarettes, cocaine and steroids.
A 70th birthday is one even he probably never thought he'd see. Yet, here he is, with a new autobiography, Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story (Triumph Books), and no plans to retire from the ring. (Snuka co-wrote the book with frequent Huffington Post contributor Jon Chattman.)
Snuka, who lives in Atco, Camden County, will sign copies of the book 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at Barnes & Noble in Deptford.
The book intersperses Snuka's stream-of-consciousness narrative with recollections from his family, friends and fellow wrestlers. Even the artist himself paints an often-unflattering self-portrait.
"My whole life, I've just been a bad boy trying to be a good man," Snuka writes. "That's the bottom line."
Developing the 'Superfly'
Snuka was born James Wiley Smith on the Fiji islands, in the South Pacific. He didn't know his biological father until much later in life, and says he suffered physical abuse at the hands of his stepfather growing up. A young Snuka found refuge in the tropical paradise, learning to dive off cliffs, which eventually helped him develop his signature move. An interest in bodybuilding led him to pro wrestling, and he came to the United States, spending the early part of his career working in the Pacific Northwest.
Although Snuka shifted between heel (bad guy, in wrestling speak) and face (good guy), fans took to him either way. He wrestled barefoot, and wore tiger-stripe wrestling trunks and seashell necklaces, a nod to his island heritage. His high-flying ring style—which would later influence a whole new generation of wrestlers—contrasted with the typical, one-dimensional brawling action of the era. Snuka never left the ring without flashing an "I love you" hand sign to his fans. In television spots, he punctuated almost every sentence with "brudda," one of his favorite phrases.
During those years, grinding out match after match—sometimes seven or eight in a week—Snuka mastered the art of working a crowd, using ring psychology.
He was nearly 40 by the time he made it to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which is now known as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He made his WWF debut in March 1982 as a heel. He feuded with champion Bob Backlund, culminating in a steel-cage match at Madison Square Garden in New York City that June. At the end of the match, Snuka leapt from the top of the steel cage and tried to splash Backlund, but missed. Snuka lost his shot at the title, but gained a whole new legion of fans and became a "face."
But, Snuka's rise to fame in the WWF wasn't without tragedy.
In May 1983, his mistress and traveling companion, 23-year-old Nancy Argentino, died of a head injury near Allentown, PA. Snuka told police he'd returned to the couple's motel room to find Argentino struggling to breathe. Earlier, he said, she'd slipped on a grassy patch and hit her head on the side of a highway when they'd stopped to relieve themselves. Although police questioned Snuka in Argentino's death, he was never charged. Argentino's family later won a default judgment against him in civil court. In his book, Snuka denies he caused Argentino's death.
"I will say this about the whole thing, brudda—that night ruined my life," he writes. "To this day, that is how I feel."
The match with Muraco
The defining moment of Snuka's career came later that year, in another steel-cage match at Madison Square Garden, this one with the heel Don Muraco. Snuka lost the match when Muraco was able to escape the cage first, but Snuka dragged him back in, climbed to the top of the 15-foot-high cage and dove onto a prone Muraco.
Among the future pro wrestlers in attendance that night at Madison Square Garden was Mick "Mankind" Foley.
"It was so much more than just the athletic feat of reaching the top of the cage," Foley writes in the book's introduction. "It was the anticipation of it, his timing, and the spectacle of it all—his slinging his hair back, putting up the 'I love you' sign, and launching into the air."
If you don't know Jimmy Snuka based on that moment, then you might remember him for the infamous coconut attack.
In June 1984, during a televised interview segment, the heel "Rowdy" Roddy Piper smashed Snuka in the head with a whole coconut, setting off a classic feud that proved to be Snuka's swan song in the WWF.
Flush with fame, the married Snuka was partying hard: drinking, womanizing and snorting cocaine. He started missing matches, which didn't endear him to WWF management. (During this period, Snuka and his family lived in Haddonfield.)
The first WrestleMania, in March 1985, should have been Snuka's shining hour. Instead he was reduced to working as corner man for Hulk and Mr. T in their tag-team match against Piper and Paul Orndorff.
In his book, Snuka contends Vince McMahon Jr., the WWF's owner, decided Hogan was going to be the organization's new star, effectively casting Snuka aside.
Snuka left the WWF, but never stopped wrestling. He spent time in Hawaii and Japan before returning to the WWF in 1989 for about three years.
When his second act in the WWF ended, Snuka worked for various independent wrestling outfits, including Philadelphia-based Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW.) In 1992, Snuka became ECW's first heavyweight champion.
Two of Snuka's children, Jimmy Jr. and Sarona, followed their father's barefoot-steps into the ring, each making their way to the WWE. Jimmy Jr. wrestled as Sim Snuka and Deuce; Sarona is the WWE diva known as Tamina Snuka.
Jimmy Snuka and McMahon eventually made amends. Snuka was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996, and he still appears from time to time on WWE pay-per-view events.
'He loves everybody'
Snuka doesn't know where he'd be today without his third wife, Carole, who acts has his caretaker, confidant and manager.
They met in 1993 at the now-defunct Mulberry Street Bistro on the Black Horse Pike in Runnemede, when Snuka's career seemed to be in its twilight.
"People always ask what he's like, and they say, 'He seems scary,'" said Carole Snuka, a Triton Regional High School graduate. "He's actually nothing like you'd think. He's the most giving person you'd ever want to meet. He's the most patient. He's gentle. He loves everybody. He doesn't fly off the handle."
Fans still come banging on the couple's front door at all hours, mostly wide-eyed kids asking the same question: "Is Jimmy home?"
But Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka doesn't mind at all. He has a bond with his fans that most performers will never understand.
"It's like this: I know they love me and they know I love them, brudda," he says.
Even now, as a septuagenarian forced to wear boots in the ring to protect his ankle, he's willing to give everything to please the fans.
Despite all his flaws, all his wrong turns outside the ring over the years, he hopes you can respect that.
And if you don't? It's not his fault.

The ship and our cabin were spotlessly clean, and all the furnishings, carpets, etc., were in excellent condition. Arrivals and departures, with one exception, were on time. Cabin stewards were most helpful and accommodating.
Dining room staff seemed to be a bit harried at times. Dining room meals were good, although not exceptional. The extra-fee dining room, which we visited once, was very good. The Lido restaurant was very busy at breakfast and lunch times, and on some occasions they ran out of some items.
One of the highlights on Holland America is the Microsoft computer classes. The young woman doing these was absolutely phenomenal. She didn't talk over anyone's head, neither did she make anyone feel foolish. Some sessions were called "Techspert Time" where you could ask questions about computers, or cameras, and she really knew her stuff. One man said the classes were worth the price of the cruise on their own. Just get there early because seating is limited to about 20 people.
All of the shore excursions we took were booked through the cruise line, except one from our Buenos Aires hotel to the ship. This took us through the city and into the Tigre area, and included a cruise on the Tigre river and connecting waterways. Dozens of islands, but no roads or bridges - everything, including the grocery stores, goes by boat.
Montevideo, Uruguay appears to be a lovely city, and the locals love their beaches. There are some superb parks.
Arrival in the Falkland Islands port of Stanley gives you the impression you are somewhere in England, and the locals all have West Country English accents. No wonder they didn't want any part of the Argentines during the 1982 unpleasantness. Most of their food and other needs are imported from Britain and the wool from their sheep (thousands of them) is shipped to England. We visited a penguin colony, via 4 wheel drive vehicle over bogs and rough terrain, and saw two types of penguins, including one pair with a late hatched chick.
Ushuaia, Argentina, is a busy, modern city, with a very large port, and ship repairing facilities. We toured out into the countryside, then spent some time shopping in some excellent stores.
Cape Horn has a reputation for some of the worst storms Mother Nature can devise, and the Veendam plowed through one in December. Waves broke over the bridge roof and the windows of the Crows Nest Lounge on Deck 12. The day we sailed around, it was almost as calm as a river.
Punta Arenas, Chile, and Puerto Montt are both remote cities, but touring with a guide was most informative. At Puerto Montt we had gorgeous weather - one of only about 50 good days a year, according to the guide, a transplanted American.
In between, we sailed to the Amalia Glacier, through the Strait of Magellan and the Beagle Channel, and past a series of glaciers. Initially we went to the Crows Nest Lounge to view the glaciers, but there were so many people, most drinking and talking loudly so we could not hear what the commentator was saying. So, we went to our cabin, turned on the TV to listen, and took photos from our balcony, which happened to be on the correct side of the ship.
The cruise finished in Valparaiso, and our transfer to Santiago to catch our flight home included a stop at the Concha y Toro winery, one of the largest producers of wine in the world.
This cruise covers a lot of territory. Shore excursions booked through the cruise line take up most of the buses available in remote ports, and we found them good value, with excellent guides who spoke good English. If you want to see penguins, there are some excellent tours. In the Falklands, the drivers of the 4x4 vehicles were local farmers who gave a good account of life on the islands.
The one exception to punctuality I mentioned was caused by a tardy passenger who forgot that ship's time was different from local time, and came ambling down the wharf with her purchases an hour after we should have sailed. We were surprised the ship waited so long.
Entertainment in the big theatre was good, although they always crank up the volume far too loud.

On tap last February at Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery.
A: Very dark brew, opaque. Thin off-white head.
S: Nose is brandy, nuts, cider, reminds a little bit of a yellow wine also.
T: Taste is on brown sugar, molasses, grapes, currants, brandy, pear, bitter chocolate with a slight touch of alcohol. A very complex palate.
M: Thick mouthfeel, slightly sticky, warming.
O: Quite an unusual barleywine, the ageing brings a very interesting complexity to it. Very pleased to have had the opportunity to try this.

A collaboration between Tequesta Brewing and Funky Buddha
Good lord, what a treat at FB.
A: Pours a thick rich mahogany color with a small khaki colored cap. Decent retention given the high ABV
S: Lots of apple brandy in the nose right off the bat but no oak. Generally sweet smelling.
T: Definitely apply brandy flavors but not too much and not too boozy. A little woody as it decants. To summarize, this is an awesome, malty, not-so-hoppy American Barleywine thrown into delicious apple brandy barrels
MF/O: Easy drinker, well balanced. F'ing amazing, seek out

On tap at the brewery. Poured into a goblet. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Deep brown. Small cream head on arrival. Collar of foam after a few minutes.
Smell - Nice if mild. Brandy sweet smell. Lots of chocolate brown malt. Creamy. Better as it warms. Decent barrel character makes for a very pleasant nose.
Taste - Sweet barrel notes, but brandy isn't immediately noticeable. Strong caramel chocolate malt. Reminiscent of an imperial brown. Hops in the finish and a great deal of brandy bite.
Mouthfeel - Boozy. Creamy throughout. Low carbonation. The barrel seems to mellow the base beer.
Overall - Excellent offering from TBC. The base is good, if not just an imperial brown ale. This is complex and delicious.

Officers deployed their taser, then took that person into custody. 12 others were arrested on charges ranging from burglary to disorderly conduct to interference with official acts. Police say the fight stemmed from an incident that happened after the July 4 fireworks where several people were taken into custody.
