Obama, Cameron outline shift to support role in Afghanistan next year; pledge ongoing support
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Determined to show momentum in a war marred by setbacks, President Barack Obama and British Prime Minster David Cameron said for the first time Wednesday that NATO forces would hand over the lead combat role to Afghanistan forces next year as the U.S. and its allies aim to get out by the end of 2014.
The announcement added both clarity and urgency to the path of a war that has fallen into a demoralizing period, rocked by the burnings of Qurans at a U.S. base, deadly protests against Americans and a shooting rampage, alleged against a U.S. soldier, that left 16 Afghan civilians dead.
Yet Obama made clear those incidents, and intensifying political pressure surrounding them, will not lead him to bring American troops home sooner.
He said he still plans to gradually withdraw forces through 2014 as Afghan forces take on more responsibility, cautioning no one should expect "any sudden, additional changes" in the pace of withdrawal.
The trials of war, bloodshed in Syria and a nuclear standoff in Iran dominated questioning at a joint appearance by Obama and Cameron at the White House. By contrast, the personal tone of their visit has been all ease as Obama has lavished attention on his younger ally, from a college basketball tournament game on Tuesday night to the magnolia blossoms of the Rose Garden where their news conference was held. It was all to be capped by a glitzy state dinner on the South Lawn.
American soldier accused in shooting spree flown out of Afghanistan, to Kuwait, source says
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- The American soldier accused of shooting 16 Afghan villagers in a pre-dawn killing spree was flown out of Afghanistan on Wednesday to Kuwait, even as many Afghans called for him to face justice in their country.
Afghan government officials did not immediately respond to calls for comment on the late-night announcement. The U.S. military said the transfer did not preclude the possibility of trying the case in Afghanistan, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the soldier could receive capital punishment if convicted.
The soldier was held by the U.S. military in Kandahar until Wednesday evening, when he was flown out of Afghanistan to Kuwait, said a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Many fear a misstep by the U.S. military in handling the case could ignite a firestorm in Afghanistan that would shatter already tense relations between the two countries. The alliance appeared near the breaking point last month when the burning of Qurans in a garbage pit at a U.S. base sparked protests and retaliatory attacks that killed more than 30 people, including six U.S. soldiers.
In recent days the two nations made headway toward an agreement governing a long-term American presence here, but the massacre in Kandahar province on Sunday has called all such negotiations into question.
GOP race: No primary too minor, no delegate ignored as Santorum, Romney point to Puerto Rico
WASHINGTON (AP) -- An upbeat Rick Santorum barreled into Puerto Rico on Wednesday in pursuit of another campaign-bending victory in a Republican presidential race where suddenly no primary is too minor and no delegate is conceded. Mitt Romney put nearly $1 million into television advertising in Illinois, the next big-state showdown.
"If we keep winning races, eventually people are going to figure out that Gov. Romney is not going to be the nominee," said Santorum, eager to build on Tuesday's unexpected victories in Alabama and Mississippi.
Romney in turn dismissed Santorum as a "lightweight" as far as the economy is concerned.
He also rebutted suggestions that he can't appeal to core conservatives. "You don't win a million more votes than anyone else in this race by just appealing to high-income Americans," he said on Fox News. "Some who are very conservative may not be in my camp, but they will be when I become the nominee, when I face Barack Obama."
Romney travels to Puerto Rico on Friday, after two days in New York fundraising.
Bus crash in Swiss tunnel kills 28 people, including 22 school children returning from trip
SIERRE, Switzerland (AP) -- A tour bus carrying schoolchildren home from a class trip slammed head-on into a tunnel wall in the Swiss Alps, killing 22 Belgian students and six adults and instantly changing a joyous skiing vacation into a tragedy spanning several European nations.
As authorities tried Wednesday to piece together what happened, parents, classmates and rescue workers struggled to grasp the awful turn of events. Only days earlier, the children had updated a lively blog about the highlights of their adventure: ravioli and meatball dinners, cable-car rides and sing-a-longs.
Police said the bus was not speeding and everyone aboard had been wearing seat belts when it crashed late Tuesday inside the 2.5-kilometer (1.5-mile) Tunnel de Geronde on a highway near the southern town of Sierre, a gateway to the Val d'Anniviers tourist region. No other vehicles were involved.
Belgian authorities flew anxious parents and relatives to the site and called for a day of mourning. The Swiss parliament held a minute of silence for the victims.
Investigators were still trying to determine how a modern bus, a rested driver and a seemingly safe tunnel could produce one of the deadliest highway crashes in Swiss history.
Goldman Sachs 'muppet' essay is only the latest in a proud tradition of bridge-burning
NEW YORK (AP) -- Sometimes, giving two weeks' notice just isn't enough.
The Goldman Sachs muppet manifesto -- a departing executive's lengthy and very public screed against the company's blind pursuit of profits -- is only the latest example of taking bridge-burning to an art form.
Greg Smith wrote that he once had pride in his employer but had watched it decay into a "toxic and destructive" environment where little or no thought is given to clients, only how to "make the most possible money off of them."
The essay was splashed on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times, sent shock waves through Wall Street and gave the fed-up cubicle-dweller a new stick-it-to-the-man hero. Let's face it: Who hasn't wanted to storm into their boss's office and tell them where to put that quarterly report?
"Complaining about your job, next to baseball, is the national pastime," said Michelle Goodman, author of "The Anti 9 to 5 Guide."
Texas boy abducted as baby 8 years ago found, will be returned to mom; ex-baby sitter jailed
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A Texas infant who vanished eight years ago will be reunited with his mother after police arrested his former baby sitter who is accused of kidnapping him, authorities said Wednesday.
Krystle Rochelle Tanner, 26, remained jailed without bond in San Augustine, about 200 miles southeast of Fort Worth. She was arrested on a kidnapping charge Monday.
The boy's mother, Auboni Champion-Morin, told Houston television station KPRC that she may be reunited with her son later this week. Authorities said she must first undergo a DNA test, even though they're sure of his identity.
"I want to hold him in my arms and let him know who I am," said Champion-Morin, who lives in Houston. "I hope he can feel the same thing I feel for him."
Tanner, also the baby's godmother, was a suspect when the mother reported her 8-month-old son missing in late 2004. But Tanner's relatives in Houston told police that she and the infant had vanished. The case went cold and was closed in 2006, said Chief Deputy Gary Cunningham of the San Augustine Sheriff's Department.
Prison-bound ex-Ill. Gov. Blagojevich says legal saga 'not over,' has faith in appeal process
CHICAGO (AP) -- Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich embraced the public spotlight one last time Wednesday, claiming on the day before he reports to prison that he always believed what he did was legal and expressing faith that an appeal of his corruption convictions will succeed.
The famously talkative Blagojevich seemed to relish the attention as he spoke to a throng of television cameras, reporters and well-wishers outside his Chicago home less than 24 hours before he was due to arrive at a Colorado prison to begin serving a 14-year sentence. He was convicted on 18 counts during two trials, including charges that he tried to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
"While my faith in things has sometimes been challenged, I still believe this is America, this is a country that is governed by the rule of law, that the truth ultimately will prevail," the impeached governor said during an event that seemed part farewell, part campaign rally.
"As bad as it is, (this) is the beginning of another part of a long and hard journey that will only get worse before it gets better, but that this is not over."
Supporters chanted "free our governor" and "he's not guilty," and a banner hung over a railing on Blagojevich's porch read: "Thanks Mr. Governor. We Will Pray." After his statement, Blagojevich signed autographs and chatted with supporters.
USDA will offer schools choice on beef purchases amid 'pink slime' fears, official says
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- "Pink slime" just went from a simmer to a boil.
In less than a week this month, the stomach-turning epithet for ammonia-treated ground beef filler suddenly became a potent rallying cry by activists fighting to ban the product from supermarket shelves and school lunch trays. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is set to announce Thursday it will offer schools choice in ground beef purchases in response to requests from districts.
Though the term has been used pejoratively for at least several years, it wasn't until last week that social media suddenly exploded with worry and an online petition seeking its ouster from schools lit up, quickly garnering hundreds of thousands of supporters.
"It sounds disgusting," said food policy expert Marion Nestle, who notes that the unappetizing nickname made it easier for the food movement to flex its muscles over this cause.
"A lot of people have been writing about it. Therefore, more people know about it, therefore more people are queasy about it, particularly when you start thinking about how this stuff turns up in school lunches," said Nestle, a professor at New York University's Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health.
HBO says it's canceling horse racing series 'Luck' following deaths of 3 horses
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The horseracing series "Luck" was canceled by HBO after a third thoroughbred died during production of the drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, the channel said Wednesday.
"Luck," about the seedier side of racing, will air the final two episodes of its first season now in progress, HBO said. But the series won't return for the second season that began production last month, it said.
"While we maintained the highest safety standards possible, accidents unfortunately happen and it is impossible to guarantee they won't in the future," the channel said. "Accordingly, we have reached this difficult decision."
The move was made with David Milch, the show's creator, and Michael Mann, his fellow executive producer on the drama that brought film actor Hoffman to series TV. It was a high-profile project for the premium channel that stakes its reputation on such fare.
HBO said it was "immensely proud" of the series and those involved in it, and the producers said in a joint statement that they "loved this series, loved the cast, crew and writers."
Titans' wrap up daylong pitch to Peyton Manning at team's headquarters, no decision announced
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans have made their pitch to Peyton Manning and the quarterback left the team's headquarters Wednesday night after spending 6 ½ hours inside.
No decision was announced, but the next move appears to be up to the four-time NFL MVP.
Manning walked out of the building with coach Mike Munchak at 10:05 p.m. EDT and waved to about 50 fans who had gathered along the fence hoping for a glimpse of the quarterback. They yelled out his name, and he waved at them before getting into Munchak's SUV and driving away through a back gate.
Titans spokesman Robbie Bohren declined to comment on the meeting after Manning departed.
It was unclear if Manning flew back to North Carolina Wednesday night, but if the big smile Munchak had on his face as he and Manning were leaving was any indication, things went well.

3.85/5 rDev -7.2%
Pours with a decent white head a quarter of an inch deep; a swirl reveals the beer to be visibly viscous. The liquid seems to be lit from within by its own chemoluminescence, a glowing heavy bronze haze diffusing and blurring the surrounding light. Huge malt aroma like dark, cereally mutigrain bread crusts slathered in honey, with hints of lemon and shortbread emerging with warmth, vies for control with brutal hop bitterness. This is what it must smell like inside a hop cone. Massively earthy, dry, almost pollen-like nosefeel pushes its way clear through to the back of the sinus and practically leaves it black-and-blue. Taste is punitively bitter... something like a sandwich of spruce needles on rosemary bread washed down with a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice. After ravaging the tongue with this heavy, bodily bitterness, mouthfeel extends well into the gullet. Seemingly endless aftertaste wears out its welcome and compromises the drinkability... some crispness in the finish to cut through the hop sludge would have helped a lot here, IMO. I would have appreciated a bit of restraint with certain aspects of this brew, but when drunk with patience, it was still quite rewarding.

Nice coppery color-good carbonation level though no real head. Some malt/hop aroma but nothing really to note.The flavor on the other hand is right there in your face.Big big hop flavor.Almost comes across as an Imperial PA.Big,malt flavor with a slew of hops bleeding thru it-silky smooth in flavor and mouthfeel.Nice, oily body.A very quaffable beer-bigger then your average US Pale but then again it IS a Stone product.This one is a year old and a real humdinger.

Released into a pint from a signature style painted STONE double-deuce with a "can't get any bigger" number seven on the front indicating, in case you couldn't guezz? 7.7% ABV. Pours a clear golden coppery hue with a scant bubble here and there, capped by a sticky looking off white thin but prescent head that leaves tight lattice lace. A few swirls erupt a quickly dissapating froth.
Ripe red apple malt aromas and other sweet mixed fruit scents i.e. peaches and bananas, round out this STONE nose with plenty of olfactory offering. As a bit of warmth enters in, awl-kee-hawl esters are released.
First swigs: Bold complex cornicopia fruit scents and sticky acidic sizzle. Plenty of STONE house flavors. Massive malts and huge hops blend big. Bitter citrous tongue with plenty of varying flavors that make this an interesting taste. Caramely malts blend well with those STONE signature orange grapefruit slices flavored hops. Notes of raisins, fruit cake and mince meat pie.
Seven's syrupy savoring becomes a bit cloying. Tons of tongue sizzle, remeniscent of even Ruination.
Last swigs: Palate pummeler. Despite the well built style, Seven is a bit too sizly and bold to be a session offering. Personally, a different beer over another one would be my choice. An adventurous choice for my first beer of the day. A twinge estery and malty, but beyond that, it gets my wallet vote.
Beer is good. Happy big bold California beering.

Pours a hazed amber to copper color with some orange highlights. Beige head is minimal, but leaves good lacing. Big biscuity and caramelly malt and piney, citrusy, and hoppy nose. Blast of ruby red grapefruity west coast hops backed with malt sweetness and subtle notes of caraway seeds, molasses and anise. Carbonation is fair, but introducing a higher level of carbonation would probably produce a metallic twang consistent with carbonic acid. Just the right amount of bitter to sweet. Very enjoyable and unique. Can't say it's really an APA, more like an souped up English IPA with west coast American hops. A bit of iced tea-like tannins as it warms. One year later and it's cellared nicely.

Opening this bottle, I was very stoked. I happen to love what Stone has to offer, especially their little write-ups about their beer on the bottle..always make me laugh.
As I poured it, it poured an amber color which left very little head. It did give some nice lacing on the glass, but not much to it. The scent was by far the most impressive part of this ale. As I sat a good foot away, I could get good hints of caramel and a bit of fruit (undistinguishable to me however). Also, the hops were apparent in odor as well. I could definitely taste the caramel on the initial sip, and the hops also hit well towards the back of the sip, which was a nice thing! The malty caramel taste stands out the most to me. Carbonation was not overbearing, especially drank at room temp, and mouthfeel was pretty good...slightly creamy to me somehow....
Overall, this beer I rate as good...not the best ale I have ever had. I'd much rather have an Arrogant Bastard though.

Hazed pumpkin-amber with almost no visible carbonation. The head is generous in size, orangish ecru in color, dense, pitting and sticky. As with most Stone beer, 7th Anniversary Ale looks great in the glass. The super-stiff head stays at a solid one finger for the life of the bomber, growing larger with each pour. The lace is laid down in not-quite-solid sheets and is beautiful.
The nose is full of both citric and earthy hops, matched step for step by toasted caramel malt that is more prominent than expected. Upon drinking, it's readily apparent that the nose did not lead me astray. There's a huge amount of malt in this beer, a rock solid backbone with big, meaty ribs. I hope that the ten months that the bottle spent in the back of my beer fridge didn't weaken the hops significantly, but I fear that it might have.
The hops are grapefruity, but not bright and juicily grapefruity. They're more caramelized brown sugar-covered grapefruity, a flavor that always makes me think Columbus, maybe even a little Chinook. There's also a significant amount of pine sap to go along with all the fruit. I'd much prefer a throttling back of the sweet, caramel-toffee flavor and a ramping up of the hop flavor and bitterness. The finish is impressively long thanks to a body/mouthfeel that is full, sticky and slick.
Stone 7th Anniversary doesn't drink like an APA at all, but like a big ass IPA. I'm enjoying it a great deal even though I keep wishing that the malt-hop balance was tilted more heavily toward the good guys. Again, age probably has a lot to do with it, but I had a reason for waiting until today to crack the crown. Even though this is yet another solid beer from one of the best breweries in the country, I won't shed any tears over the fact that it's a limited edition.
I would like to dedicate this bomber of Stone 7th Anniversary Ale and this review to my dad (the only hero that I've ever had) who died 7 years ago today. R.I.P.

1 Pint, 6 Fl. Oz. bottle that says Stone 7th Anniversary Ale August 2003.
OK I have to be honest, I poured this one into my "Big Ass Beer Dick's Last Resort Glass". I'm a bouncer there and the glass was free, and tonight it was clean...what's a BA to do?
Light amber/ copper color with a nice head that took its sweet time to fizzle down to the liquid below. White, bubblly rings lace the glass while a thin white tarp remains over the beer.
The smell...it got me right away. The smell screams Stone Product and is one of the reasons I'm a fan of their beers. That sweet, malty aroma draws me in every time and this Anniversary Ale delivers big time.
Even though the hops in this bad boy punch you in the mouth as they journey down your gullet there is a nice maltiness in there as well that is somewhat comforting as you can actually taste something other than hop oil (not that one needs to ever taste anything more than hop oil mind you).
Feels good in the mouth and going down. Very smooth and tasty, but leaves you smacking your lips after it's made its way down to your innards.
No way I'm going to drink more than one at a sitting, but I'd love to have another, and soon. The fact that I drank this a year after it was put out didn't seem to diminish it's taste and certainly not my love for this beer.

This one was a beautiful mahogany colour was a decent head floating on top. The nose was a not as big as I expected but the taste was dead on for such a special beer. This is very hopped ale with a nice rounded finish that sits this brew somewhere between Old Guardian and Double Bastard in flavour. What impressed me about this beer was the refined aspects which show Stone to be true craftsmen.

Appearance: Pours a copper amber color wiht a fluffly white head. Head recedes fairly quickly but has a very nice lace.
Smell: A nice nose of citrus hops, caramel and bread malts, and a slight sugary sweetness.
Taste: Notes of caramel, a little biscuit, and other sweet malts dominate the profile of this beer initially. At the end this beer finishes with a citrus hop flavor and a slight spice, followed by a nice lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: A full bodied beer that is almost chewy with a nice medium to light carbonation.
Drinkability: This beer is pretty damn big for an APA but for its size is still drinkable. I would have liked a lil more of a hop kick for how big the malts are.

4.65/5 rDev +12%
Appearance: Rosey malt colored, pinkish tones. Almost orangish. Cream colored retentive head.
Aroma: 'Stone-y'. Hard core citrus hop aroma. Heavy malt smell. Aroma is a bit floral. Buttery crackers in the aroma, to go along with the heavy caramel smells.
Taste: Heavy malt, with tingly hoppiness. Balanced beer, with a nice mouthfeel. Sweet up front, with tingly hops kicking in in the middle. The grapefruit jumps in early with hints of a vegital hop taste during the finish of the beer.
Notes: Balanced bliss. This is a super big quality IPA. Unfortunately it's probably all gone on the store shelves. Steal one of these bottles from a friend or enemy if you can.

This one is starting to show its age. In other words, if you have it, drink it. Its a deep amber with a dense, small head. Theres a slight haze to the beer that gradually clears as it warms. Theres a distinct cookie-like aspect to the malt in the aroma and the flavor and maybe some slight oxidation. The hops are mainly present in the bitterness in the back of the flavor.

This beer poured a thick but small tan head with a lovely ruby/tan body.
The nose was pure rich sweet malt. Caramel, malt, alcohol. A slight sharpness, but basically just this huge rich malt smell.
The taste was medium to full bodied. Rich and very delicious. Caramel, malt, malt and more malt. Fresh 2 row barley taste. Sort of reminds me of being in a brewery. Yum!! Theres a firm in your face bitterness. A slight citrus peel, earth hop flavors really comes through. Its very present but perfectly balanced the big malt.
Basically Ive found a new favorite beer. Its not an IPA, its not a barley wine. Its just a really good beer. When I was drinking this I kept thinking it was double bastard with the volume turned down a bit. A must try beer, if you can still find it.

bomber bottle, pours reddish amber. tiny bubble film and lacing evident. Hoppy nose. Another high quality, hoppy ale from my heros at Stone. This one is nicely balanced, malty/hoppy. well done. Warming and strong, medium bodied, sticky/creamy mouthfeel. Finish is long and tasty. Get some of this stuff while you still can.

It pours a hazy copper/gold with a head that dissipates and settles into a thin wisp. I never had this beer fresh, but I can imagine that it was very nice. The aroma is actually not too strong. Sweet malt and some herbal and citrus hops ceom into the nose, but it is a fairly clean smell. Fruity, sweet malt starts out before I am taken for a ride by the hops. Yes there is plenty of kick in this beer from both the hops and alcohol. There is some caramel, and possibly a slight hint of oxidation. The finish is very bitter and dry.

Bottled August 2003.
Has a tight creamy beige head, clear amber/gold liquid. Nose is lots of aged hops with a sugary sweet malt underpinning with some alcohol sensed too. Fruity flavors abound in the taste, with intense maltiness that fills the mouth without the cloying mouthfeel, and a nicely balanced blast of mellowed yet still potently bitter hop smack...can also taste a bit of the 7.7 percent alcohol. Finishes flowery, bitter and bready, good stuff! Easily the best of the Stone beers I've had to date.
Thanks Craig once again!

22ozer bottle from Yankee Spirits, Sturbridge, MA.
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/2" beige head on top of an orangey-amber hued brew. Nose is predominantly of spicy hops, but backed up by a reasonable amount of malt, as indicated by the darker color than most pale ales possess. Taste is upfront and immediate of a heavy hops shot, but mellows through the middle of the flavor with smoothing malt, and then bounces back with a parting bite of hops again. Quite interesting and artistic flavor profile. Excellent mouthfeel, and makes you want to come back for more.

Pours a bright funky orange/copper color with a slight haze and a medium sized creamy off white head. Good lacing. Smells of sweet malt, caramel, citrus fruit and big floral/spicy hops.
Taste starts heavily malty and almost cloying in its sweetness. The caramel and tangy orange fruits show up in the middle along with a toffee note. Just when it seems to reach the verge of being too sweet...the citrusy, resinous, slightly perfumey hop bitterness shows up to balance it out. Great job!
Medium to full bodied with a rich, creamy semi oily mouthfeel and a perfect amount of carbonation. Good balance and mouthfeel along
with no noticeable alcohol makes this a highly drinkable ale.
I really liked this beer!

Well ive had this brew sitting around for about 6 months, guess it is time to crack it. I am drinking at room temp in a snifter. Thearoma is all hops with sour citrus notes and also some piney scents blended. I get a nice 1inch offwhite head to foam up easily while it fades to a robust surface layer. The color of the brew is a clear red-orange and there are a few particles floating around that appear to be hop flower remnants. The carbonation is soft and rolling and the body is actually fairly thinner than expected. The flavor is dominated by hops with piney and sour bitey grapefruit notes dominating. The bitterness rolls from start to finish on this crisp brew. It is a nice beer if you like hops but I found it a little one-dimensional.

Orangey copper color with a thick tan head of bubbles of many sizes. It sinks quickly, but leaves a thin layer atop, with big bubbles all around the edges. Aroma is thick, and full of pear and apple, some cinnamon and vanilla. I can also tell from the sweetness in the smell that this one's got some pouch. Initially sweet, biscuity, a little buttery. Sweet malts come through, plus a little toffee. Some hops in the finish, but wow, the alcohol jumps out too. The sweetness and the alcohol dominate. I find with many Stone brews that there is depth of flavor waiting to be unleashed, but is being held back by the alcohol flavors.

3.68/5 rDev -11.3%
Brewed August 2003. 77 IBU, 7.7% ABV.
Pours to a honey-colored amber with orange accents, forming a sticky, yellow/dark-beige head with good retention and sparsely delicate lacing. Carbonation is moderate. Aroma is semi-pungently citric and piney with hefty doses of caramel, honey, a suggestion of orange (Amarillo), and a cookie-like sweetness. Mouthfeel is very smooth and even, with a pleasantly semi-dry finish and medium-dense body. Taste begins with a sizeable amount of resinous flavor hops, walking a fine line between being pungent and over-the-top, followed by a medium-strong grapefruit rind bitterness barely kept in balance by a bunch of sticky crystal and light amber malts with a pleasant sweetness lingering into the semi-dry, spicy hop finish. Persistent grapefruit rind bitterness lingers and lingers. As it warms, the sweetness of the malt comes out from under the guise of the hops and helps balance things out a bit. Alcohol is barely perceptable in flavor...perhaps a peppery flourish towards the middle quickly drowned out by the hops. No off-flavors noted.
A quality brew. Despite being one of the more drinkable efforts from Stone, it's a little too intense in the bitterness to make me want more than (1) 22oz. bomber. I love the intense hop flavor balanced by the caramel malt body, but the bitterness level is just a tad inappropriately high. Almost there.

3.9/5 rDev -6%
Orange hair gel, poured with a big gob of sticky-ish off-white head. Little visible carbonation, though swirling the glass releases a streaming rush and ushers in a renewal of the frothy head.
Caramel and syrup are undertones in the nose; the hops are fairly obvious here. Smells like an aggressively hopped pale ale. Such a deceivingly simple aroma can't prepare anyone for what's to come, however. Fairly syrupy and on the heavier side of medium bodied. Sap texture and flavor come together with citric and drawn out throbbing bitterness in the finish. But the thickness and sugary nature of this brew is dominant. The alcohol isn't noticeable, per se, but no one can doubt that some of the sweetness in this brew isn't from it's mental haze inducing component.
Good stuff. Interesting. Not terribly user-friendly in some ways. But good stuff nonetheless.

Copper color with a slight off-white head. Bitter hops, strong with citrus notes and bits of pine. Very bitter tastes of hops hit all over the palate and kill the tastebuds. This delicious none the less and should be labeled a double or imperial in my mind. Crisp tastes with bits of orange and spices. Complex and outstanding. Leaves a piney taste on the tongue. The aftertaste is strong and makes it tough to appreciate anything else that night. This is a great brew but I would expect nothing else from Stone.

This brewery does nothing but amaze me and they always fit with what I'm looking for out of a beer...time to move to sunny Cal. eh? Well... thank goodness xlperro was nice enough to hook me up with this fine 7th Anniversary Pale Ale by Stone!
Super clouded, deeply golden bronzed yellow color in the glass, a creeping smallish off-white head just sits there a while before it decides to melt away leaving a bubbly edged collar and the lace sticks in small spots and strings.
Aroma is oh so yummy, soon as I wiffed this in I knew I was gonna like it. Malt laden caramel candy-refic nose. The caramel malt here is fantastic, its nearly undescribable; besides, just saying that its super fine yummy nice is enough! Totally reminds of Double Bastards' nose with nearly the same roaring axiom over the hops. What hops I do detect (tangerine, dried grapefruit, citric, woody) seem to realm very meagerly compared to what most pales are and should be. But I'll throw that to the weighside as Stone always seems to push the envelope in all styles neither true nor erroneous.
Love those malts! It never fades. It never gives up. It just cinders like a cinamatic memory.
On your mark... sip...no wait...gulp...WOW, how easy is it to love this beer is beyond words. I can say this "Stone brews rock my world!" Yum, yum, yummy times ten! This is emaculate stuff! Pale ale, or what ever they want to call it, I want more! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...I'm one happy lad this day! Hello caramel! Hello hops! A beautiful meadly of the miraculous malten heavy yet hop filled brigade of a beer! Caramel malts strongly covers the front (yum), mixing with a salad of fruits intreguing grapefruit, tangerine, plum, fig, and dulled raisin to boast, but as it settles a toasty effect takes over with major crusted bread and toasty grainy malts becomes the center, melding with the caramel (delicish). Perfect bitterness for me in the hops, which float and stay steady across the finish with mild yet giving citrus and wood dryness...lingers...lingers some more, yields both the malts and hops together to bring a grin to thee lips. Oooh yeah, thats the stuff...caramel, candy, toffee, citrus, wood... everything Stone has ever offered has risen through to torment you to think, " What could possibly be next by these guys?" Holy shit this is good stuff!
Feel is way to smooth, full, and malty for a pale, yet it gives and gives, never letting go of your expectations, nor your buds, nor your memory. Great start, great finish. What else is neeeded? This has everything; malts in the front which carry through to the finish, and the finish is hop laden and lingering both on the palate and the memory.
The 7.7 ABV catches up to ya pretty quickly, even though it takes nothing to drink it out of the bomber, which is gone before you know it, and your craving strongly for more...and I need more! I can only think of a cross between Old Guardian and Dbl. Bastard, but without all the alcohol, but believe me, this still has a worldly effect on the noggin'. The Levitation and Smoked Porter are the brews to be sessioned by the guys at Stone. Try to session this stuff and it'll be a short evening. Still drinkable beyond commensense and you'll continue to convince yourself as I did that it is.

Stone is quite humble to call this a pale ale. It's almost comical.
The sweet, honeyed, malt-laden nose and palette along with the supportive, but unaggressively resinous hop backbone suggests old ale all the way. And were it an old ale, perhaps it'd be a tad weak -- especially since Stone's sick interpretation of an old ale is Arrogant Bastard. I guess 7th Anniversary is a hybrid of old and pale ales, managing to show off the complexity of the age-worthy malt without deflating the nuance of a classic American pale ale. And I guess Stone could give a fuck what I think of how well they fit a style. "If you want consistency, drink Bud," I'm sure they'd say.
Glorious hopping reminiscent of SN Celebration in its complexity and distinction. Way too much malt for a pale ale.
But really this is classic British old ale with a wonderful fresh citrus kick. Sweet of fresh morning pastries. It even picks up the tiniest hint of sherry-like almondine nuttiness. A little buttery diacetyl late in the finish. 15 minutes later, this finishes with the dry fruitiness of a pale ale; I don't understand.
Stone 7th Anniversary has what I would expect out of a well aged old ale. Only 6 months into it, this beer's destined for something really special. It might be too thin to really be a great vintage ale some day, but it'll make the best run a simple "pale ale" ever could.
As a young BA, I knocked the site and said that the BAs missed the complexity of more delicate brews -- that their tongues were charred with high-octane stuff, primarily from Stone. Now that I've earned some stripes, I see the error of my ways, but also have noticed how burnt my own tongue has gotten. Stone 7th Anniversary is a pale ale for experienced BAs; for those who said that pilsners and amber ales were the cat's meow until they found out about barleywines and imperial everything. It reminds me of what I loved when I started, what I love now, and how much I have changed. This special release is my coming-of-age in a bottle.
Relax, relax.

22oz. Bottle Deep amber ale with an orange hue. Big rocky head of foam. Aroma is super hoppy with a nice bready malt character. Mouthfeel is smooth medium bodied with a velvety texture. Flavor is big on hops with a sharp bitterness. This is similar to the Ruination but with a better malt balance. Flavor is great, blended malts and bitter flavorful hops. Another winner from Stone.

SARANAC — A former Saranac Central School Booster Club treasurer, who police say admitted to embezzling more than $20,000 from the club, has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges.
Deborah A. Perry, 52, of Saranac was originally charged with fourth-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records, both felonies.
She was arrested on March 28.
In Saranac Town Court on Monday evening, she pleaded guilty to two counts of petit larceny, a misdemeanor, according to a court official.
In total, she paid between $16,000 and $17,000 in restitution, the court said, including a final $1,000 she turned over during the court session.
She also paid $500 in fines.
Fines and restitution were paid in full, closing Perry's case, the court said.
The Booster Club contacted New York State Police in January after a discrepancy in their account records was discovered, State Police Troop B Bureau of Criminal Investigation Investigator Trevor Giroux previously told the Press-Republican.
Giroux said Perry told him she had been taking money from the Booster Club for her own personal use since the early part of 2008.
Perry had been the club treasurer since 1996.
A KeyBank account that Perry had told the club she deposited money in did not exist, Giroux said.
Perry did not return messages left by the Press-Republican.
Mary King, president of the Saranac Central School Booster Club, could not be reached for comment.

Learn countryside crafts
3:02pm Wednesday 4th January 2012 in Country News latest By Mike Pryce
IF you fancy earning your living or even just doing something useful in the countryside, then 2012 could be your year.
A programme of training courses designed to offer new skills and employment opportunities to people living in rural Worcestershire has been launched.
Over the next 12 months, a series of six courses organised by Bewdley Development Trust will cover all aspects of running a smallholding and there are other days which will offer training in countryside skills such as fencing, hedge laying and charcoal burning. On the food production side, there will be bread-making in a wood-fired oven and turning fruit into pickles and chutneys.
Those with fruit trees can learn how to prune them and then turn the end product into juice or cider.
Peter Miller, of the development trust, said: "Following a pilot programme as part of the Grow with Wyre partnership, we are pleased to be able to offer training in a wide variety of countryside management and crafts.
"This will provide new skills, leading to employment opportunities and help to bring land back into use which will contribute to a more sustainable future for all of us."
All the courses will run from 9am to 5pm and will be held at Uncllys Farm, Bewdley. The Ruskin Studio at the farm is an award-winning green oak-framed building with easy access and a wood-fired range. Eligible applicants will pay only £25 per course (plus materials costs in some cases) as they have been selected under a programme co-financed by the Defra-supported Rural Development Programme for England. For further information and bookings, call Bewdley Development Trust on 01299 405516 or e-mail email@example.com.

These guys spent their days and nights watching over inmates inside the Wayne County Jail, and we're sure they are praying right now that they don't end up becoming inmates themselves because they know what it's like in there.
Matthew Czarnecki, Alan Oliver, Marcus Hall, Jeffrey Hill and Bryan Milano are all in their twenties or thirties and all five used to be deputies with duties inside the Wayne County Jail. That is until they were given the temporary boot, suspended without pay, and now facing felonies.
What for? Three men doing a bid behind bars allege that instead of guarding the inmates, those deputies were ganging up on them and roughing them up repeatedly.
The three inmates, who call themselves victims, are accusing the deputies of hitting, punching and kicking them inside their cells. These alleged actions sent the inmates to the hospital for their injuries.
All of these incidents were said to have happened between 2009 and 2010 inside the older jail at Beaubien and Clinton inside Division 1, and there are no security cameras in that section.
The alleged beatings were brought to the attention of jail personnel. Internal Affairs investigated and turned their findings over to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.
In the end, the men were charged with assault with intent to cause great bodily harm, misconduct in office and filing a false felony report.
We are hearing that the suspects have posted bond, but we know there are some of you at home wondering since these allegations date back to 2009 and 2010, then why are we just hearing about this now? We were told that once the prosecutor's office received the warrant, they conducted their own investigation and because there are three cases, it was a very long process to get each defendant charged.

FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) -- Heavy rains swelled rivers across northern Ohio on Friday, flooding streets and sending a few residents of one flood-prone town scurrying yet again.
Business owners in downtown Findlay where the Blanchard River cuts through moved their merchandise to higher ground before the river crested Friday. Rising water closed several streets and seeped into low-lying neighborhoods, but the flooding was not causing the same kind of damage as in recent years.
The latest flooding comes as Findlay waits to find out whether the federal government will pay to help complete a study on potential solutions for controlling the frequent floods. Flood prevention has become a top priority since 2007 when flooding caused millions of dollars in damage in Findlay and Ottawa.
Three members of Congress from Ohio sent a letter this week urging that the study receive funding so that it can be completed.
Local officials are willing to pay for half of the $3 million needed to complete the study and want the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to cover the other half. A decision on the request is expected in the next few months.
The Corps already has presented ideas that it says would not eliminate flooding but could decrease floodwater levels by three feet in Findlay during the worst flooding. Federal officials said in December that flood control for the river could cost up to $150 million or more.
Finishing the study is critical and delaying it could push back congressional funding for the project by seven years or more, Tony Iriti, head of a private group working to speed up flood projects, told The Courier newspaper.
There have been five major floods in the last six years in the city, which is about 40 miles south of Toledo. The worst damage came in August 2007 when flooding caused more than $100 million in damage.
The flooding Friday was much less severe.
A few streets were closed but there was no significant damage, city officials said. Some schools were delayed in the morning.
The river crested Friday just above 14 feet before its level began to drop, according to the weather service.
Several other rivers and streams in northern Ohio were close to overflowing, but so far there have not been any major evacuations or problems.

Dublin City Council opposes park development
26 July 2006 16:32
An Bord Pleanála has begun hearing an appeal against a compulsory purchase order of a two-acre square in Ranelagh in Dublin.
The square was bought by businessman, Noel O'Gara, last December.
In January, Mr O'Gara locked access to the square that had previously been used by the public. He is now seeking to develop an underground car park, a creche and gym on the site.
Dublin City Council is in turn trying to compulsorily purchase the land from Mr O'Gara.
Giving evidence to the planning appeals board this morning, Geraldine O'Mahony, a senior executive planner with the council, said the area had been zoned so that recreational space should be protected. She said the southeast area of the city had less open space than other areas.
She described the square as of notable character and surrounded by protected houses. She added that any new building, including a creche or car park, would not be appropriate.
Opposing the order, Mr O'Gara said the square was private property and was never public. He claimed that Dublin City Council was using 'big brother muscle' to steal the land from him.
Mr O'Gara said a car park on the site could provide parking for up to 600 cars in an area near the city centre that had inadequate parking.
He also claimed that the development would be in keeping with the current zoning of the land as it would include sporting facilities like a gym, as well as a creche and tea-rooms.
Thats funny because his predessors in title never bothered to lock the park up when I was younger visiting relatives on Cambridge Terrace in the late 1970's
His proposal is one of the most ridiculous and audacious plays I have ever heard of and that includes the full contents of The Destruction of Dublin as a benchmark.
What I can't understand is that Dublin City Council have needed to go to these lengths as the 10 year lease from 1987 affords full rights of renewal under the 1980 Landlord and Tenant Act and as DCC have been holding over ever since they have acquired a rolling right of renewal for a 10 year term each time.
I would not fancy the freeholder's prospects of establishing the necessary comparable rental level evidence to get any kind of return on what he paid for this park however recently it was acquired.

Open source software has had a foothold in the enterprise monitoring sphere for almost as long as open source has existed. One only needs to look at the sheer ubiquity of small applications such as MRTG (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) and its RRDTool back end to see that. What we haven't had from open source is the big application -- the comprehensive, community supported open source enterprise management suite that provides the depth and breadth of functionality that businesses need and generally find in closed-source competitors. That is changing in leaps and bounds. In fact, open source enterprise monitoring solutions are evolving so quickly, we won't even try to declare a clear winner yet -- but we're working on it.
[See Bossie winner slideshows: Applications | Networking | Platforms and Middleware | Security | Software development | Storage ]
Not all that long ago, an entirely open source monitoring system would encompass software from five or six different open source projects. A typical configuration might include the very popular Nagios for monitoring, one of many available configuration front ends to make Nagios easier to manage, a plethora of Nagios plug-ins, a package such as Cacti for more advanced trending and graphing, and a few Cacti plug-ins such as WeatherMap and Thold. Experience indicates these packages together form an extremely powerful and infinitely malleable solution.
By the time the entire collection has been fully configured and integrated, however, someone has spent a significant amount of time getting it completely dialed in. Any addition of new resources to be monitored usually requires fairly intimate knowledge of how things were assembled to begin with. Worse still, upgrades can be complicated due to the interdependency of various components. None of this would seem particularly arduous to a reasonably experienced Linux/BSD user, but it can be downright horrifying for someone without Linux or Unix experience. That fact alone has prevented open source monitoring from penetrating the average, largely Microsoft-based medium business.
All of that is starting to change. Within the past several years, major new, commercially backed, open source monitoring packages have been arriving on the scene at a dizzying rate. Some of these packages provide the glue necessary to coherently unite disparate packages that hadn't previously been integrated. Others have been grown from the ground up, their backers aiming at providing a completely unified solution. Major players in this space include GroundWork, Hyperic, and Zenoss.

ANDOVER — The film crews were busy setting up their tripods, wires and boom mikes, so no one noticed as Cindy McKallagat smuggled some photographs of her children behind the pharmacy counter.
The Letourneau's Pharmacy owner wanted to make sure her loved ones had a cameo in the latest film to hit the Merrimack Valley — "Don McKay".
The dark drama, starring Thomas Haden Church and Elisabeth Shue, is shooting in the area through mid-September.
They took over Letourneau's for two hours yesterday morning, drawing a small but steady flow of gawkers who had stopped by to grab coffee at the neighboring Dunkin' Donuts on Route 28.
"We have parts. We act like we're doing business, answering phones and dealing with computers," McKallagat said. "In real life, I'm e-mailing all my children saying I got to meet Elisabeth Shue. It's been fun."
Cindy and Shawn McKallagat aren't the only locals to see a piece of the $5 million film project.
The crew has been using a foreclosed house off of Route 114 in North Andover as their main backdrop, and also have shot scenes at Lawrence High School and Palmer's restaurant in Andover.
The movie is just the latest sign to many that the Merrimack Valley has turned into a Hollywood hotbed seemingly overnight.
Films like "The Surrogates," "This Side of the Truth," and "The Box" have filmed here, mostly at Osgood Landing on Route 125 in North Andover.
"Everyone has been great to us," "Don McKay" director Jake Goldberger said of shooting in the Andovers. "We hope we can keep this going and make a film everyone in town will be proud of. We're all excited."
The movie is about high school janitor Don McKay — played by Church — who is returning to his hometown after a tragedy forced him to leave 25 years ago.
He receives a letter from his long lost love, Elisabeth Shue's character, telling him she's dying from cancer and asking if he'll come back and rekindle the flame while she still has time.
But McKay ends up caught in a web of deceit, confusion and murder as he suspects her motives for summoning him are more nefarious than she's letting on.
Church is known for his recurring role as Lowell Mather on the 90s television show "Wings", and has since starred in hits like "Sideways" and "Spiderman 3". Shue starred in classics like "Karate Kid", "Back to the Future 2," and "Leaving Las Vegas."
"I thought Thomas would be perfect in this role," Goldberger said. "He accepted and we've been trying to get it together for the last couple years. And then Elisabeth signed on."
The crew moved to Letourneau's to shoot a scene where Church is with Shue picking up her medication when he first gets into town.
Church and Shue would come out to the parking lot in between takes but stay to themselves, making conversation in between two parked sports utility vehicles.
"I keep missing them," Daryl King said of the movie stars, stepping out of Dunkin' Donuts with his coffee and newspaper in hand. "I keep coming out for peeks."
The McKallagats were approached a few weeks back by a location scout and then didn't hear anything for a while, until he brought the assistant and directors to the shop.
"The first time, this guy was taking pictures of the store," McKallagat said. "He had no business card. I said, 'For all we know, you're here to case the joint.'"
McKallagat was flattered when Shue told her she liked the store, which has an apothecary feel.
Customers were just as excited, once they figured out what was going on at the pharmacy.
Ann Santos, of North Andover, had no clue what was happening when she pulled up to pick up her prescription with her daughter Gabriela.
"We were told we could go in but to shhh because they were making a movie," Santos said. "I thought they were filming some local cable show, and then I saw Elisabeth Shue. It's crazy. We just bumped into it."

Reviews by BrownNut:
2.25/5 rDev -30.3%
A - standard gold, quickly dissipating head
S - A number of Bold City's beers have a roasty quality to them, if I'm identifying that flavor component correctly, that I don't like. This one has it in the aroma. Also something slightly sweet, like when you eat Sugar Smacks cereal or sweet coffee and then later smell it in your pee. Speaking of pee, there's also malty, sour undertones of a row of urinals - you know that permanent smell when you walk into a public bathroom in an out of the way place and there are no air fresheners.
T - Sort of like a "normal" macro but with more wet cardboard notes. Not really getting the roasty from the aroma. A nice hint of sweetness and barely-there citric tartness on the tongue in the aftertaste.
M - Nothing notable to say
O - Reads much more like a macro than a micro. So in that respect it's not good beer by craft standards, but it's something you'd drink in quantity with no real problem in a setting such as a ballpark or a pool hall or whatever. It's not bad enough to be distracting if you're used to drinking macros.

A: Very copper colored beer, that is clear, no yeast and poured from a growler into a mug it leaves a nice 3 inch head
S: Very bread like, with a sour clove Wang, no hops detected in Smell
T: again with the sour clove taste, its not unpleasant but its strange. dark bread taste, no hops really tasted at all.
M: Very smooth, creamy feel to it as it goes down, no real bad after taste
D: Fairly lite, easy to drink, goes down easy

Poured on-tap at the Bold City Brewery, the beer was served up in a pint glass. The beer is a lightly hazy orange-gold color with a thin film of off-white head. The nose is slightly sour, with roasted characteristics, but overall muddled. Crisp and sharp in mouth, with an increased carbonation feel to it. There are pale malt flavors, with slightly toasted notes. The aftertaste is slightly sour and fairly sharp, and the finish lingers a bit too long for my personal tastes. Middle of the road brew, but would likely make a good transitional beer for a BMCer.

Poured nicely with a nice color (blonde)
Good aroma. Couldn't quite put my finger onto what it was though.
First taste was fruity at the end but as I continued, the fruitness wore off but I sincerely liked it a lot. Not heavy and very drinkable to what I'm use to.

This beer is obviously not what it is listed as. Had many times but review after recent beer tasting event from which only a couple beers I had yet to review were available.
A: Cloudy orange-gold body with about a finger of had that rapidly dissipates.
S: Grains and breads. Simple but not too bad.
T: wheats, grains and pale malts with sour fruits and clove notes.
M: medium body with moderate to high carbonation. semi dry finish.
Overall: I actually think this is one of the better beers from this brewers original offerings. Drinkable and nice fuller than expected body for the style.

3.38/5 rDev +4.6%
A - Pours with one finger of white foam that dissipates quickly and leaves little lace. The body is a clear, gold color.
S - A light grainy aroma with just a touch of hops.
T - light malt up front with some grainy notes and little sweetness. The flavor holds steady though to the finish with just a hint of hop bitterness.
M - medium-light body, moderate carbonation and a dry finish.
D - Not bad for what it is, but it is a blonde ale, not an amber. There is very little flavor here and what is present is very light and un offensive. Still, its drinkable and probably a better beer than killer whale.

Publicly insistent that they are not seeking a destination for center fielder Colby Rasmus, the Cardinals have made the struggling 24-year-old talent available for the right deal with the Chicago White Sox, according to several sources familiar with the situation.
… Negotiations with White Sox general manager Kenny Williams have accelerated in recent days, according to sources, with the Sox able to dangle pending free agent pitcher Edwin Jackson or high-salary lefthanded reliever Matt Thornton.
Talks also hinge on minor-league or cost-controlled talent the White Sox could include in a deal and, according to a source, a third team may be sought to facilitate a trade.
Dammit Kenny. That's too much. Rasmus had a good year last year due to a high-BABIP. He hit .276/.361/.498/.859 with a .356 BABIP. He had the 7th highest BABIP-xBABIP difference in baseball (chart)! This year when his BABIP is down to a normal .286, his batting line is down to .241/.327/.402/.730. And why give away Thornton too and weaken the bullpen? When Chris Sale goes to the rotation next year, the bullpen will be 2 lefties down. And I don't see any good, not even adequate, lefties in the minors (starters or relievers).
UPDATE: Oh, I forgot Hector Santiago and his new screwball. He MIGHT be an option.
For what it's worth, Kenny Williams has long been a fan of Colby Rasmus and Edwin Jackson's value is at a season-high.—

BOYERTOWN Ś Nothing like opening a new season with morning, noon and night wrestling, capped off by what could very well have been an actual live Pioneer Athletic Conference championship preview.
An obvious physical as well as mental challenge, especially for Owen J. Roberts and Boyertown.
The two PAC-10 rivals dominated their respective pools in SaturdayÆs ninth renewal of the Brian Bealer Memorial Bear Duals to earn a spot opposite one another in the final for the second time in the last three years. This one didnÆt at all resemble their 39-33 thriller of two years ago nor their 68-6 blowout 11 months ago, but the Wildcats sure did deliver a similar message Ś as in itÆs still the team to beat Ś with a 37-16 decision.
Owen J. Roberts was virtually unchallenged all day, and got spotless 5-0 showings from returning state medalist Derek Gulotta (113 pounds), Dominick Petrucelli (132), Kyle Shronk (160/170) and Gordon Bolig (182); a flawless three-bout run from Adam Moser (152); and 4-1 efforts from Aston White (106), Alec Pupo (120) and Nick DeAngelo (220) and similar 3-1 efforts from Drew Gerber (138) and Evan Boaman (195).
Against Boyertown, the Wildcats started a seven-bout punch when Petrucelli posted a 13-1 major. The Bears would closed to within 29-12 with a string of three decisions wrapped around a major, however, the Wildcats quickly put it out of reach when Gulotta pinned and Pupo worked up a 5-1 decision.
ōIt was a pretty good day,ö said Shronk, who was on such an impressive postseason roll a year ago before it all ended with an injury. ōWe wanted to set the tone for our PAC-10 match (Friday, Jan. 11). We wanted to make (the Bears) feel as if they have to step it up by then, and I think we did.ö
ōA solid day,ö added Petrucelli, who was sidelined most of last year with an injury. ōWeÆre pretty happy with today, but we wanted to beat Boyertown by more. I like how we all wrestled, but now we have to keep it up the rest of the season.ö
PetrucelliÆs opening major was followed by Drew GerberÆs 6-0 shutout at 138 and Domenic DÆOrsaneoÆs 14-1 major at 145. Then Peter Fratantoni, as unsung a contributor as anyone at OJR the past two seasons, outlasted Boyertown freshman Gregg Harvey in an exhausting 4-3, double-overtime dual at 152.
MoserÆs pin, ShronkÆs impressive major over Gray Garber at 170, and BoligÆs technical fall at 182 created the 29-0 bulge.
But the Bears came back ... starting with Cody RichmondÆs decision and Jordan WertzÆs eye-opening 12-1 major at 195 and 220, respectively. Then freshman phenoms Jordon Wood (moving up a weight class) and Lucas Miller followed with 8-2 and 4-0 decisions over two of OJRÆs more reliable entries, Brad Trego and Aston White, at 285 and 106.
ōWe have some mixed feelings,ö said Boyertown head coach Pete Ventresca. ōWeÆre pleased with a lot of the kidsÆ efforts. Last year (in the PAC-10 dual) we got absolutely shellacked, so at least weÆre working in the right direction. We want to be a quality program just as (OJR is) right now.ö
Miller, Wertz and Wood were all 5-0 for the Bears, while Eddie Kriczky (126) and Garber were both 4-1. Richmond, Garrett Mauger (113), Dante Colonna (138) and Reuben Maldanado (145) contributed three wins each.
ōWe got excellent performances from a lot of our wrestlers,ö Ventresca said. ōSo this is a start. WeÆre learning that we know what weÆre capable of.ö
As do the Wildcats.
ōWeÆve been working hard on certain things, certain things the kids were pretty good with today, and thatÆs a bright spot,ö said OJR head coach Steve DeRafelo. ōIt was a physical day... five matches on the first day, and ending with an emotional match (with Boyertown). We knew it was going to be a physical match, too, and it was. But it gave our kids an idea of where theyÆre at. It was also a wake-up call for some guys, too.ö

U.S. lawmakers and U-N diplomats are looking for ways to punish North Korea after its latest nuclear test. While North Korea is ratcheting up its rhetoric against the U.S.
North Korea is threatening to cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War. North Korea says it is fighting back against UN sanctions that have hit the rogue nation as punishment for its nuclear weapons tests. The UN Security council met behind closed doors Tuesday to discuss more sanctions in response to an underground nuclear test North Korea conducted last month. Diplomats say North Korea's most powerful ally, China supports new sanctions. In Washington, lawmakers are weighing additional steps the U.S. government can take to pressure North Korea to end its nuclear weapons program. At a House hearing Tuesday morning lawmakers looked to build a case for new financial restrictions - as they examined how criminal activity such drug trafficking and counterfeiting helps North Korea fund its weapons program.
North Korea and the U.S. are still technically at war because the 1953 agreement is a cease-fire, not a peace treaty.
