The same adelgid was detected in San Francisco in 1928 and has chomped through sub-alpine and silver firs in Idaho, Oregon, California and other areas of the Pacific Northwest in large numbers since the 1950s.
Adelgids are about the size of a freckle and about as hard to remove. They are all female and don't engage in sex. Eggs develop without mating. Two to four generations hatch each year. They have no natural predator.
"It actually feeds on the trunks or large branches of trees," Liebhold said. Their mouths are like a straw that punctures the bark. "When they're feeding, they release a chemical in the trees that cause them to deform. When they suck in large numbers, they take nutrients from the trees and they ultimately die."
The feeding process creates thousands of waxy, woolly balls, which give the adelgid its name. A similar insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid, lays up to 300 eggs in a single woolly ball.
They leave dead shoots and branches, swelling around the shoot nodes known as gouting, a stiff trunk and growth rings with red, hard wood instead of the healthy, creamy white wood, Sidebottom wrote.
Nature has its own way of dealing with problem parasitoids — organisms that kill their hosts — but nature takes its sweet time. "If we wait 100,000 years, the firs here will develop a resistance," Liebhold said, the way they probably did in Europe.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- After leaving Peoria in the rain on Tuesday, the St. Jude runners are heading back in much sunnier weather.
News 25's Lee Hall is participating in the run for the 31st time.
He said the sun, the heat and the humidity all came right on cue as the rain clouds dissipated Wednesday morning in Memphis for the send off in the 32nd annual Memphis to Peoria Run.
Before leaving, the runners got a special behind the scenes look at the research facilities here at St. Jude.
"We got to see stuff that you would normally never get to see," said runner and parent Vic Reed. "Obviously they are doing great work and hopefully they will have more cures. They've done well so far, because the cure rates are going up so high."
Dr. Beth Stewart is originally from Dunlap. She splits her time between working with patients at clinic and working with their cells in the lab.
"I know it can be really difficult for me to face the patients in clinics that had tumor types that are really high risk and really aggressive. So, I wanted to be a part of that movement that would make me involved in the research. Where I could go directly back to those parents and patients and say 'I'm working on this in the lab, I know what is going on'," said Dr. Stewart.
Beth and her fellow researchers are the unsung heroes at St. Jude and it just so happens that Beth is also a Memphis to Peoria Runner.
"Just hearing the passion and seeing first hand what it is doing and knowing somebody who is working on it really helps on those hot days when you feel like you can't go any further and knowing what is going on back here and knowing that there is somebody doing this with us, it brings it all back and makes it worth it," said St. Jude runner Kathleen Steiner.
So for the 32nd straight year the St. Jude runners are off and running toward Peoria and will make their grand appearance into the Civic Center at the start of the 36th Annual St. Jude Telethon.
You can catch all the coverage live from 6:30 p.m. to midnight Saturday August 3 on WEEK.
Lee have more reports all this week.

City Councilman Tom LaBonge, who represents Sherman Oaks and Toluca Lake, endorsed fellow council member Eric Garcetti in the Los Angeles mayor's race on Thursday, while City Controller Wendy Greuel picked up the backing of House Democratic Leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In a statement, LaBonge praised Garcetti for helping transform neighborhoods like Hollywood and Silver Lake, saying the changes came about because of Garcetti's leadership.
"You gotta know how to move bureaucracy and move the city and move community and Eric knows how to do that," LaBonge said.
Garcetti now has the majority of City Council members - eight out of 14 - supporting him in the May 21 runoff election. Two have endorsed Greuel.
Greuel has also gotten some big names outside of city politics, including former President Bill Clinton and Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
"Wendy Greuel knows that women must always have a seat at the table - and in Los Angeles, in this election, it's past time a woman took her rightful seat at the head of the table," Pelosi said

4.09/5 rDev -1.7%
The beer pours a deep black, like molasses, with a huge, rocky head of light brown, creamy bubbles. The head sits fat above the beer, and leaves fluffy tufts of lacing along the sides of my glass. In body, the beer is viscous and opaque with no hints of the other side of the glass. On the nose, the beer smells richly boozy with coffee, chocolate, and rum-soaked raisins. Brown sugar, burnt toast, and a faint wisp of herbal dankness also play across the nostrils, but the big players on the nose make this beer smell decidedly like a RIS. On the tongue, the beer tastes decadently sweet with a touch of hot booze and a very gentle bitter roast with a touch of tannins. Acidity does pop in the mouth towards the finish, as well. In flavor, the beer is rich and decadent, beginning with rich boozy bourbon and plum juice, the beer immediately mellows into roasted malt with touches of char, coffee, and dark chocolate. These flavors then smooth out into milk chocolate and smooth oak tannin. Vanilla, caramel, and even a touch of toffee swirl over the tongue. The finish brings a touch of very sweet alcohol alongside rum-soaked raisins, brown sugar and soft chocolate. The aftertaste is of soft bourbon and bitter roasted malt. In the mouth, the beer feels oozingly smooth with a medium to heavy body, soft and creamy carbonation, and a velvety mouthfeel that is broken only but slight touches of roughness from the booze. The mouth is left dry with roast, yet wet with acid-canceling saliva and the sticky smack of rich malt. Overall, this is a decadent and rich (partially) bourbon barrel aged stout, but it is not Boulevard's best. Its rich and I will never turn down a glass of it, but I don't think I'd buy it again. Overall, the beer seems almost mundane beside some of the other amazing beers that have come out of the Smokestack Series. The Belgian character of the beer comes out more and more as the beer warms, but it just doesn't quite amaze my palate as I hoped. This is a lovely barrel-aged stout, but in the end there are better options on the market.

2013 bottle.Pours jet black with no light getting thru,a full two finger deep beige head atop that settles very slowly into a frothy mass.Aromas of dark fruti stand out most with lighter whiskey barrel notes,not in your face.A smooth creamy fuller feel makes for a good sipping brew.Alot of dark fruit on the palate along with dark molasses and chocolate,there is a detectable earthiness in the finish wich was nice.Not a big roasty/coffee influnced imperial stout here it's more of a dark fruit and sweeter brew.I like it alot,the barrel aging doesn't overpower the beer.

Starts out with a loud pop and pours black with a lofty, rocky brown head.
Aroma consists of oats, rye, dark chocolate, vanilla, nutty oak, hops, and coffee.
Taste starts soft with oaky and roasty chocolate flavors turning into a big finish of hops and alcohol warmth in my belly.
Quite drinkable considering the alcohol. A rich and complex brew to contemplate.
Great beer and a perfect winter warmer. Get it and hold on to it.

750ml bottle, dated 2011 - # 13032; batch 2011-2, best by 01/2013. Pours a dark black-brown with a large nitro like creamy brown head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is dark fruits and some black licorice, vinous alcohol and wood and some brett.
The flavor is sweet molasses, chocolate, dark fruit and vinous alcohol with some black licorice and roasted bitterness at the finish. The mouthfeel is is pretty full bodied and creamy.
Overall, it's a little young with the sweetness, vinous alcohol and bitter roast not blending really well yet. It could be very nice with a bit of age.

Originally had this on tap in Dec and it was outstanding (4.15) but revisited it on tap 2 weeks ago, and it tasted off. Opened a bottle on Tuesday and was much more noticeably off. This year's batch seems to have been infected, specifically with some lacto. The beer poured well but smelled like nail polish remover and tasted sour. The bar's manager, a certified Cicerone agreed and emailed the distributor and brewery the next day.

Boulevard Imperial Stout from a tightly corked bomber (had to use pliers) --> big wine glass.
A - Pours used motor oil black, no light getting through this one. Surprising amount of cappuccino-colored head, a little bit seems to stick around. Easily passes the "pencil test." Very nice lacing.
S - Fireplace smoke, a zillion different dark roasted malts, pencil lead. Just a tiny bit of sweetness.
T - No way this thing is this smooth... Mountains of malts.. oats, barley, rye. Baker's chocolate, coffee, espresso. Bits of burnt wood. Just enough metallic hops and the tiniest bit of sweetness just to bundle all the malt together. A little bit of boozy alcohol warming in the back. Aftertaste is of roasted malts and burnt coffee.
M - Thick and fairly slick. Just a little bit of carbonation, but don't expect much.
D - Not sure how to really rate this. Really good for an impy stout, but that's all pretty relative. Drink it fast and you'll get sick, drink it slow and you'll enjoy it nicely. The high ABV will also get you. Hard to believe there's 11% alcohol in this, it is very well hidden.
Pretty darn good imperial stout. Nicely balanced (if there is such a thing), it isn't hop-tarded like some (Old Rasputin).. very good stuff.

750ml brown bottle with a vintage date of 2011. Bottle No. 8061.
Brewery states they did pick up some brett recently, popped the cork off ... corked talked about brett to me, more fruit than funk. Pours with a sudsy light brown head, lacing is impressive ... black as black can be. Aromatics are titans, mellow barrel juice and char, roasted grain of dark chocolate and espresso and a delicate kiss of over ripened fruit ... a whisper of brett as well. Creaminess is set on high, full body floats in the mouth. The maltiness is big on dark chocolate and a sweetened Cubano coffee. Fruity and alcoholic with a growing dryness that wields a hammer of cocoa powder and wood. Molasses. Hops stay modest. Mild tartness, infancy of the brett? It does have a ghost-like funk within. Sweet roasted finish, pretty much burnt sugar.
Not a hair short of being great, the brewery admits to some funk ... wish I had another bottle to see where it goes.

Appearance: low carbonation, 1/2 head, opaque, dark brown in color
Smell: deep oak, vanilla, char, and roasted malt. This smells amazing.
Taste: nice oaking, sweet vanilla, char, roasted malt, and espresso
Mouthfeel: sweet with slight roasty bitterness, medium-heavy body, moderate carbonation
Overall: One of the better of the Smokestack series. I really like the oak and coffee taste. Glad I was finally able to obtain a bottle. I will purchase this again in 2015 if I can find it.

Big thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle. 2011 vintage.
The beer pours a very dark brown to black color with a tan head.
The aroma is great. I get some licorice and dark fruit notes, as well as a lot of oak, roasted malt and some chocolate. You can get all of the notes that you expect in a bourbon barrel aged stout,
The flavor is more of the same. I get a lot of milk chocolate as well as some woodiness from the oak, some bourbon whiskey notes, maple and vanilla. There is also some nice alcohol warming in the flavor.
Medium to thick mouthfeel and low to medium carbonation. Outstanding.

This was a 2011 batch 1 bottle. No head. Very dark jet black color. I couldn't see through the glass at all when I held it up. Heavy whiskey smell on the nose with some roasts and chocolate. Big whiskey flavors, followed by roasted malt with coffee and chocolate on the tail end. I feel like my throat is coated in whiskey. Nicely balanced however I wonder if the whiskey will mellow after sitting in my closet for a few years. I liked this beer.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Snifter.
Appearance: Near black with moderate tan head and decent lacing.
Smell: Oak, molasses and chocolate mostly, with some dark fruit and bourbon notes.
Taste: Molasses and chocolate core, along with some dark fruits and a hint of coffee. Strong whiskey notes as well, with definite oak and a slight sourness. I would be interested in knowing what whiskey was used as I am getting a mix of fuller Bourbon notes and spicier Rye notes.
Feel: Not quite as full bodied as expected or desired, but the smooth, creamy texture more than makes up for that. Carbonation is mostly in check.
Overall: Nice barrel-aged Imperial Stout that is somewhat unique.

Bottle from South Bay. Let this one warm up. Poured jet black with an impressive thick, creamy tan head. Sticky lacing. Heavy chocolate and roasted malt nose. Smoke, leather, oak, some bourbon, and oats as well. Velvety smooth mouthfeel with light carbonation. Love how it coats your mouth. Bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt hits you first. More sweet than bitter, but held in check. Rich coffee flavor (without the acidity), anise, caramel, and creamy milk-chocolate flavors come through. Hints of bourbon and an earthy smokiness pop occasionally. No soy sauce or wooden flavors, just a thick, lovely stout. The alcohol is well masked, but gives a pleasant warmth. Please brew more of this.

Sampled at the 2010 Stout tasting in a Orval Chalice.
750ml corked & caged bottle.
Pours a super black with a very dark brown color on the head. Nose is sharp and yeasty. Very similar to the Yeti nose.
Taste is sharp and agressive. Taste is really sweet and strong. Very good and surprisingly drinkable for being so boozy.

Interstate 79 is back open in both directions in Monongalia County. Crews had both directions of traffic closed so they could clean up from Tuesday's accident.
I-79 northbound just after the Goshen Road exit will remain closed until 4:00 a.m., Wednesday.
As of 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, the southbound lanes have re-opened, but will close again so crews can continue cleaning up.
An accident involving two tractor trailers caused some major headaches and backed up traffic for miles on Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 79.
Investigators told 5 News that crash happened around 2:30 in the northbound lanes near the Goshen Road exit.
Apparently a truck carrying liquid propane rolled over and went down an embankment. Officials with the State Police said another truck was also involved. One person had to be taken to the hospital, but apparently wasn't hurt very seriously.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
Children are considered a blessing, especially in Israel and predominantly religious Jerusalem. Parents speak favorably about their offspring and on Shabbat we traditionally see fathers bless their children. Unfortunately many fathers are unable to fulfil their obligations.
The statistics on poverty in Israel speak volumes. There is an alarming rise in the number of children in the poverty figures in Israel. Particularly among religious families, which in turn makes Jerusalem the city with the highest number of children living under the poverty line.
Israel Today has been committed for many years to ensuring a quality of life for all Israeli children.
Together we will be able to step up to the plate and help poor children.
"Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry; And bring the homeless poor into
the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your
own flesh?" (Isaiah 58:7)

Despite low voter turnout, there were major issues and races decided Tuesday.
One of the major races was for Toledo City Council's District 2, the seat vacated by D. Michael Collins when he was elected mayor.
This was easily the most watched race in Lucas County. Democrat Matt Cherry was appointed to Mayor Collins old seat back in January and hoped to keep that job. Cherry had virtually all of the coveted labor endorsements and was able to take the seat.
Cherry beat Toledo School Board member Bob Vasquez, small business owner Marcia Helman and lone Republican candidate Joe Celusta.
The ballots were paper ballots, which take longer to count.

TOKYO – Sony's share price fell more than three percent to a two-year low Monday after the latest online attack against the Japanese electronics and entertainment giant targeted its European subsidiary.
Sony shares in Tokyo trade lost 3.14 percent to close at 2,062 yen, the lowest level since March 2009.
No confidential data was stolen or published on the Internet in the cyber attack on Sony Europe Ltd., said company spokeswoman Mami Imada in Tokyo.
"It is true that the website was illegally accessed," said Imada. "But all the data that the hacker seems to have copied was information already available on the company website."
The London-based headquarters of Sony Europe on Saturday morning spotted the attack in which personal information about the firm's certified trainers for professional broadcasting equipment was targeted.
Although the data was already open for anyone to view, the hacker accessed the information through an illegal path.
A series of cyber attacks has affected more than 100 million customer accounts, making it one of the largest data breaches ever.
On Saturday, US-based Sony Pictures Entertainment apologised over a personal data breach that hackers said involved more than one million passwords, email addresses and other information being stolen.
At the weekend, another Japanese gamemaker, Nintendo, said the server of its US unit had been hacked a few weeks ago.
Nintendo shares lost 1.59 percent at 17,910.
"The server contained no consumer information," said a Nintendo statement that confirmed the attack.

UPDATE: Click "Watch Video" for the brand new visuals to This Generation.
With forthcoming collaborative album This Generation Fashawn and MURS have set themselves quite the challenge: to boil the current moment in West Coast hip-hop down to a single LP's worth of music. Not only do the twosome feel confident in their ability to achieve that goal, however, but they've set the bar yet higher by attempting to condense the album's expansive message into a three-and-a-half-minute title track. How did they fare? Pretty damn well, by my lights. Project collaborators K-Salaam & Beatnick keep it simple and elegant on the production tip, cooking up an atmospheric Caribbean-soul backdrop as the underground rhymesayers wind their lyrical way around our zeitgeist, looking back on their own artistic development and pondering whether today's youth will be able to resolve the lingering contradictions of the Reagan Era. Singer Adrian guests, contributing his reverb-drenched vocals to the hook. Fans will be able to find this record, lead single Flash Gordon and much more on This Generation (the album), scheduled for release September 25, via Duck Down.

Cafe helps keep people's memories alive
5:00pm Saturday 1st February 2014 in News By Debbie Waite
THE village of Cumnor, near Oxford, was part of the Dementia Learning Partnership pilot scheme in 2012 and following the training, a group of volunteers set up a 'Memories Cafe', right, where all people are welcomed, regardless of age, or memory problems, to sit, chat, enjoy tea and cake and spend time with old and new friends.
The cafe meets in the village's Parish Centre, on Abingdon Road, and the parish's pastoral care coordinator, the Rev Jean Pryce-Williams, said: "Working in a parish with elderly people I think we were all aware that people with memory loss can often lose their confidence, retreat and almost become invisible.
"We all wanted to become more dementia-friendly and the Memories Cafe seemed a lovely way for people to meet and chat while feeling comfortable.
"It's been a great success with an average of 22 people attending once a fortnight."
Ms Pryce-Williams also set up a Creative Skills Share scheme in October 2012, where people share their own skills and learn new ones.
And around 100 people, from children to pensioners, have attended sessions so far.
The cafe next meets on Tuesday from 2.30pm to 4pm.

Volleyball falls to New Mexico, 3-0

Junior outside hitter Kathryn Kane finished with 13 kills but the JU volleyball team fell to New Mexico, 3-0 (22-25, 21-25, 18-25), Saturday morning in the Hilton Garden Inn Tournament at The Corral.
JU (5-7), which had its three match winning streak snapped, hit .219 in the match (including a high of .355 in the first set) but hit under .200 in the final two frames and finished with a match-high 12 service errors.
NM (7-5) won its third straight match by hitting a blistering .343 while registering a match-high seven blocks.
"We may have lost but I thought this was the best we have played all year," said JU head coach Shaun Kupferberg. "We did a lot of things well in this match but we just happened to play a very talented team today."
Along with Kane, senior outside hitter Aidan Yeager chipped in with nine kills while sophomore middle blocker Alison Loeppky added seven kills. Freshman setter Kendall Courtney paced the offense with 34 assists while junior libero Ashley August led the defense with 12 digs.
Lisa Meeter led the Lobos with 14 kills while adding 12 digs and a .522 (14-2-23) hitting percentage. Taylor Hadfield tallied 13 kills and a match-high .545 (13-1-22) hitting percentage. Allison Buck (16 digs) and Ashley Rhoades (seven blocks) led the defense.
In the first set, both teams battled through 15 ties until the Lobos used a 2-0 run to make it 18-16 on a kill by Kelly Williamson. NM increased the margin to 20-17 after a bad set by the Dolphins but JU would cut the deficit to 20-19 after an attack error by Rhoades. The Lobos would answer with a 3-0 run, capped by a block by Rhoades and Barber, to make it 23-19. JU would make it interesting with a 3-0 run to cut the margin to 23-22 but NM got a kill by Williamson and a block by Barber and Rhoades to take a 1-0 lead in the match.
In the second frame, both teams went through five ties until the Lobos used a 3-0 run to open up an 8-5 lead. NM increased the lead to 12-8 with a kill by Hadfield before making it 18-12 with a kill by Meeter. The Dolphins would answer back with a 7-3 run to cut the margin to 21-19 but the Lobos ended the frame with a 4-2 run to take a 2-0 lead into the break.
In the third set, the Lobos jumped out to a 10-4 lead with a kill by Mariah Agre and then increased the margin to 17-7 after an attack error by the Dolphins. JU would cut the margin to 20-15 with a kill by Loeppky but the Lobos would cruise the rest of the way to seal the match.
The Dolphins will end their weekend against host USF at 7 p.m. The match can be followed through GameTracker and video streaming by logging onto JUDophins.com.

Lake Erie College explores opportunities for students from Iraq
Lake Erie College officials announced they are reviewing plans to participate in a new program that will give high-achieving students from Iraq the opportunity to study at the 153-year old private institution.
In July, Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Eric D. Fingerhut announced a partnership with the Republic of Iraq to make the University System of Ohio the first statewide system to participate in the Iraq Education Initiative (IEI). The Chancellor participated in a signing ceremony with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to formalize the agreement. The partnership advances a key goal of Ohio's 10-year Strategic Plan for Higher Education of increasing the number of foreign students studying in Ohio and graduating from Ohio universities and community colleges.
Fully funded by the government of Iraq, the IEI's initial goal is to send up to 10,000 Iraqi students per year over the next five years to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia to complete their higher education studies. The initiative will begin with a pilot program of 500-600 students for the 2009-2010 school year – approximately 100 are expected to attend Ohio institutions. The Higher Committee for the Educational Development of Iraq will award scholarships to high-achieving Iraqi high school students who have taken required college admission tests. Students will be allowed to study nearly all majors and seek all degrees, including some Ph.D.s. Iraqi students will be especially encouraged to study engineering, education, information technology, business, law and medicine.
"This is an excellent opportunity for the College to enhance our longstanding values of internationalism and increase the diversity of our growing student population," said Michael T. Victor, president of Lake Erie College. "We applaud the good work of the Ohio Board of Regents and Chancellor Fingerhut in striking this special agreement with the Republic of Iraq. It creates opportunities for Iraq's most qualified students and for institutions, like Lake Erie College, to increase its global perspective."
Overall, 22 universities, which are founding members of the American Universities Iraq Consortium, will welcome these students to their campuses. Among these universities are Vanderbilt University, Virginia Commonwealth University, West Virginia University and Texas A&M.
Lake Erie College, located in Painesville, Ohio, currently serves more than 1,300 students and is an independent, liberal arts institution that challenges its students to, "get in and stand out" in academics, athletics and student activities. The College offers 33 undergraduate majors and the option to design an individualized major to fit career and academic goals. Lake Erie offers 20 intercollegiate athletic teams, was recently granted NCAA Division II status and became a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC).

It was a warm and sunny spring day. My partner and I were looking to tick off every area in the Slater guidebook, so we decided that today would be the day to check out Wagon Caves. The drive was beautiful, fields full of washes of green and purple, red and yellow . . . the approach to this area is wonderful.
Getting There
From Highway 101 going north from San Luis Obispo, exit at Jolon (country road G-18). Head west under the overpass toward Fort Hunter Ligget. You'll go about 20 miles to the Mission road junction. There may or may not be a sign. Turn left onto this road and you'll reach the military's gate. Show them license and registration and head into the area.

Winning a challenge like the one he faces Sunday earns Joe Thomas his Pro Bowl stripes.
The Browns' stalwart left tackle has the mission of keeping nasty Terrell Suggs out of Brandon Weeden's facemask when the Ravens fly into Cleveland Browns Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
Suggs hasn't made much noise on the playing field this season for one reason. He missed the first six games recovering from a partially torn Achilles tendon suffered playing basketball in May. Suggs underwent surgery in May.
Suggs started the season on the physically unable to perform list, returned two weeks ago (the Ravens had a bye last week) for 44 plays and made four tackles with one sack and two quarterback hurries in a 43-13 loss to the Texans. The Houston game was the first he could have played because a player on PUP has to miss a minimum of six games. His head coach in Baltimore, John Harbaugh, expects Suggs to take on a full load Sunday.
"Mine was completely torn," said Browns punter Reggie Hodges, who missed all of 2011 after tearing his Achilles in training camp. "It took eight months for me to start swinging my leg and do things. For him to be back in six months is incredible. It's really surprising. Good for him."
Suggs has terrorized a bevy of Browns quarterbacks since 2003. He has played 18 games against the Browns and posted 92 tackles. His 13 sacks against the Browns are the second-most against any team for him (13 1/2 vs. the Steelers) and his seven forced fumbles are the most he's wrenched from any team.
Now, more than ever, the Ravens need Suggs because the Baltimore defense is without linebacker Ray Lewis (torn triceps) and cornerback Lardarius Webb (knee). The Ravens' defense ranks 28th.
"He's good -- he's not one-dimensional," Thomas said after practice Friday. "Excuse me, I should say great. Best player in the NFL last year on defense. He's not just a third-down speed rusher and he's not just a run stopper. He does both things exceptionally well."
Suggs was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011. He finished with 52 tackles, 14 sacks, two interceptions and seven forced fumbles but no fumble recoveries.
The Ravens beat the Browns twice last year, and Suggs figured in both games. He had four tackles, one sack, two tackles behind the line of scrimmage, one quarterback hurry and one pass break-up in the game started by Colt McCoy on Dec. 4 in Cleveland. He had four tackles, two tackles behind the line and a quarterback hurry but no sacks in the game Seneca Wallace started Dec. 24.
"He's big, he's strong and he's fast," Thomas said. "He's got everything you want in an outside linebacker."
Whether the Ravens will have the anchor of their defensive line, tackle Haloti Ngata, will be a mystery until an hour or so before game time. Ngata did not practice Thursday or Friday because of a knee injury. It would be a break for the home team if Ngata has to sit out, but the Browns aren't counting on it. He was listed as questionable on the injury report Friday.
"It's a fast defense, and the defense plays together," Browns running back Trent Richardson said. "And one thing I know about 'em, they don't get down and they're going to try to do anything to hit you in your mouth."
Richardson gained 47 yards on 14 carries in the game against the Ravens in September.

KENNEWICK, Wash., -- Pre-trial motion hearings began in Benton County Court Wednesday morning for a lawsuit against a Richland flower shop owner accused of discrimination.
Barronelle Stutzman, the owner of Arlene's Flowers, is accused of discrimination for not supplying flowers to a same sex wedding.
Wednesday morning was the beginning of a lengthy pre-trial process for both sides. Judge Salvador Mendoza denied a motion from the State Attorney General because they did not file it on time."Even if the court were to strike the state's motion (the underlying substantive motion) as untimely, I'm just going to refile it tomorrow and we'll be back here again," says Todd Bowers, senior counsel for the State Attorney General's office.Stutzman's attorneys are challenging the State Attorney General's authority to bring the case to trial.The flower shop owner says she refused to serve the couple because of her religious beliefs.Attorneys say they expect to go to trial next spring.To read Judge Mendoza's order on the motions, click here.

The biggest boxing bout in years takes place on pay-per-view on September 14 live from Las Vegas, Nevada when Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez face off for Alvarez's WBC &The Ring Light Middleweight titles, and Mayweather's WBA "super" Light Middleweight title.
The bout will be contested at a 152 pound catchweight.
Showtime's Stephen Espinoza tweeted the photo this evening:
@FloydMayweather and @caneloOficial face off for the first time. Who is #TheOne? #boxing pic.twitter.com/tJypO8Howh— Stephen Espinoza (@StephenEspinoza) June 19, 2013
Many pundits agree that this is will be the biggest boxing event, if not the biggest combat sports event, since Mayweather fought Oscar de la Hoya in 2007. The 36-year-old Mayweather is 44-0 with 26 of those wins by KO. The 22-year-old Alvarez is 42-0-1 with 30 KOs.
Some speculate that the less than incredible numbers from Mayweather's PPV debut for Showtime this year are the reason he's willing to take on as formidable opponent as Alvarez.

CATEGORIES Horror"The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield."
This line is delivered by Count Dracula after welcoming the visiting solicitor, Renfield, into his mountaintop castle. He watches the Count pass through a large cobweb without breaking it, and Renfield balks when he spots a massive spider climbing the wall, looking for a dark place to hide. He's come to negotiate the Count's rental of Carfax Abbey in England, despite being warned away by every local he's come into contact with in Dracula's native Transylvania.
Wait a second. Renfield? Isn't this supposed to be Jonathan Harker's role in the Dracula story? It's a significant change to the original 1897 Dracula by Bram Stoker, and I think it's one of two changes that truly benefit the film -- the other being the attractiveness of Bela Lugosi as Dracula himself, as opposed to the long-haired, pointy-eared, mustached creep outlined in Stoker's novel.
If Lon Chaney had been able to play Dracula, as intended, we may have gotten more of a monster than a man. Chaney's terminal cancer kept him from playing the role, and may have affected director Tod Browning's enthusiasm for the project. Actor David Manners, who plays Harker in the film, told historian David Skal that cinematographer Karl Freund did most of the heavy lifting behind the camera. It's completely possible that if Browning was more involved and Chaney was able to take in the role without illness, that the vampire genre as we know it might have been completely different.
As it is, our first talking screen vampire is downright sexy. Lugosi turns on a bizarre, sour-faced leer when he has the bloodlust, and an equally effective wide-eyed stare (which Freund points out with selective lighting), but watch him at the opera house in one of his earliest scenes in England. Lugosi is gracious, gracefully polite as the Count, with an air of the exotic, brought on by his thick Hungarian accent. He's strange, but not weird -- sinister, yet inviting. It's a case of lightning-in-a-bottle casting and there's no way of telling if anyone else as Dracula would've become the model for every single Dracula that followed. I would imagine not, as no one would've been able to replicate the dangerous, foreign allure that Lugosi specifically brings to this role.
As for Renfield replacing Harker in the film's opening, simply consider the difference in range between the actors Dwight Frye and David Manners. Frye, an adept character actor with a Broadway background, is able to sell some of the darkly humorous scenes in Borgo Pass at the start of the film, without slipping into farce. During the sea voyage to England, Renfield goes insane, presumably at the sight of Dracula murdering the crew of the ship. Placing Harker in this role changes the story significantly, due to his connection with Mina, who Dracula pursues in England. By putting Renfield in the opening you get to establish the danger of Dracula right away, and then moving the monster to a place where no one suspects him of anything creates a level of suspense unmatched in 1931.
And what of the scene where Dracula stops his vampire brides from feeding on Renfield? Dracula's blood-drinking method is decidedly intimate, his mouth placed against the nape of the victim's neck. The homoeroticism of one man feeding on another in such an up-close and personal way may affect the film in a couple of unexpected ways. For one, it means Dracula feeds on men -- even strong, virile men like Renfield. Women have always been portrayed as the victims in film, even more so in the early days of the medium, but if Renfield can be attacked, then every man is fair game to Dracula's evil. Men have as much reason to fear him as women do. One has to wonder how much of Dracula's success is due to his equal-opportunity blood-sucking.
Does Dracula's bisexual approach to selecting victims make him more attractive to female viewers, even subconsciously? It's an interesting question, and I may not have the answer. Consider this -- if Dracula selected women exclusively as his victims, would he be viewed as a creepy sexual predator instead of a debonair (albeit evil) man of the world? Is Dracula the ultimate bad boy?

Second City was excellent entertainment. We never had to wait more than 10 minutes for table service and the only issue we had with meals was the lack of dessert choices. The hot tubs were a little less than hot but never crowded and plenty of pool chairs. Service was always there. It seemed they always knew when the room needed tidying. Embarkation and disembarkation was smooth at every port. The boat although not the newest was in an excellent state of repair we did not see any issues. We will more than happy to sail with them again and are already looking for our next date to sail with them.
Costa Maya I could have passed on. If you are in Belize make sure you stop by Dans Chocolate Bar my wife says the chocolate shots with edible glasses were to die for. Roatan was just beautiful and the Pirates zip lining was great. Cozumel had cheap beer and great shopping although they could be a little pushy. Overall it was a great time.

- Studio: First Look International
- Release Date: May 5, 2006

- Summary: Set against the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the 1880s Australian outback, The Proposition is a visually stunning tale of loyalty, revenge and the quest for justice in a land without rule. (First Look Pictures Releasing)
- Director: John Hillcoat
- Genre(s): Drama, Crime, Western

Score distribution:
Positive: 25 out of 31
Mixed: 6 out of 31
Negative: 0 out of 31
A movie you cannot turn away from; it is so pitiless and uncompromising, so filled with pathos and disregarded innocence, that it is a record of those things we pray to be delivered from.
In the end, this is a film about retribution and justice within unjust circumstances. Each character has a personal code of honor -- Arthur, Charlie and Capt. Stanley are all given their dignity -- and it's that code that sets the film apart.
The Proposition, a beautiful, bloody meditation on justice, family, and the trap of retribution, is in every respect an artful addition to the canon of six-shooter morality tales.
The Australian director John Hillcoat makes an audacious, unsettling American feature debut with The Proposition, a revisionist western that brings its own brand of sanguinary honesty to the genre.
The sketchily symbolic characters and flat plot just frame an atmosphere of sticky heat and Biblical reckoning.

Mar 11, 2013A well-paced, violent and hard-edged western; it has the classic vengeance storyline, but it´s completely different from the other westerns out there. Very gritty script, brilliant performances, flawless cinematography. Coupled with a heart-rending score, this movie comes as close as they do to perfection.… Expand
May 8, 2011Beautifully shot, impeccably acted out, cohesively written and a cast worthy of box office stardom but it's modesty is almost immaculate. The film's subtle underlying message is clear and is conveyed without adrenaline-inducing violence but in an odd sense, poetic, almost symbolic, violence. However, though a thorough story and excellently executed, it's lack of action, for a western, leaves a minor gap in the movie. Not to say that's a bad thing...… Expand
Aug 5, 2012Directed by John Hilcoat and written by iconic Australian musician and novelist Nick Cave (the two have previously collaborated, on 1988's "Ghosts... Of The Civil Dead"), The Proposition is a gritty and unflinching modern western set in rural Queensland in the 1880's. The film opens with a furiously chaotic shootout, bullets ripping through the tin shack where bushranger brothers Charlie and Mikey Burns are holed up following the rape and murder of a local family. The brothers are swiftly overwhelmed and captured by British expatriate Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone). Stanley is not satisfied with his victory, however, because the real villain remains at large - Athur, the eldest and most dangerous Burns brother is hiding in the ranges with the remainder of his posse. Rather than simply imprison them both, the captain presents Charlie with an ultimatum - track down and slay Arthur within nine days, or Mikey will hang from the gallows on Christmas day. It's a swift and effective introduction, giving us a telling taste of the violence and desperation that fill the rest of the film. Charlie locates his brother with ease, but gathering the courage and willpower to murder family is another matter. Arthur (Danny Huston) is an intellectual psychopath, quoting poetry and philosophising on life while carrying out brutal and heinous crimes. His eccentric personality and unflinching taste for extreme violence have developed for him a near-mythical legend status, and neither the local police nor the aboriginal tribesman are willing to hunt him down. Huston's brilliant performance is as charasmatic as it is unnerving, and is one of the highlights of the film. The bond between Arthur and the other posse members is unbreakable - the very definition of "mateship". As a result, he is fiercely determined to free Mikey and seek revenge on Stanley, and in no way suspects the impending betrayal from his brother.
Back in town, Captain Stanley faces his own dillemna - businessman Eden Fletcher, who all but owns the local law enforcement, has demand that Mikey receive one hundred lashes a preemptive punishment for his crimes. Stanley knows that the ordeal would surely kill the boy, and in doing so nullify his agreement with Charlie and bring down the wrath of the remaining gang members. It's a harsh and uncomprimising narrative - can Stanley resist the bloodlust of the townsfolk and stay true to his moral code while still managing to bring about justice?
The performances are exemplary, the entire cast potraying their characters with comfortable ease. The Proposition is filled with a vast array of minor characters, mostly crude and cruel men who are as much a product of the harsh country as they are of their convict backgrounds.
Cave's script is tight and focused, the dialogue spot-on. The score, also written and performed by Cave with the assistance of violinist Warren Ellis, is unusual but highly effective, filled with murmering whispers and bleak soundscapes. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking, perfectly capturing the achingly beautiful landscape with wide, open shots. These elements come together to create a realistic insight into colonial Australia, perhaps the most accurate recreation to date.
The Proposition has been praised for its cynical but accurate potrayal of white/aboriginal relations in colonial Autralia; the white townsfolk treat the aboriginals in an extremely patronizing and condenscending manner. The racial juxtaposition is perhaps best exemplified by Captain Stanley's property - a fenced-off recreation of traditional (and relatively luxurious) English housing that greatly contrasts with the sorrounding countryside. The colonists are stubborn intruders, attempting to bring "civilization" to the vast land and in doing so destroying a rich and unique culture formed over thousands of years. A refreshing take on the dying western genre, The Proposition is so vigorously paced, so shocking in its violence and so beautifully shot that it demands the viewer's full attention. I can't recommend this one enough.… Expand
Jan 19, 2013The Outback, as well as "The Proposition", is just as punishing and unforgiving as the men who roam it, and savagely entertaining. The film takes all the familiar ingredients of the Western with an Aussie spin, but unlike typical Western movies, it's dark, gritty, downbeat, and brutally violent. Set in rural Australia in the late nineteenth century, Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) is a criminal living in the outback. He and his two brothers, Arthur (Danny Huston) and Mikey (Richard Wilson), are outlaws wanted for rape and murder. Arthur is a violent and dangerous cold-blooded sociopath, much more so than his siblings. The authorities capture Charlie and Mikey after a bloody shootout, and the brothers are handed over to Capt. Stanley (Ray Winstone), a British lawman sent to Australia to help bring order to the colonies. Capt. Stanley's proposition to Charlie is to gain pardon and - more importantly - save his beloved younger brother Mike from death by finding and killing Arthur within nine days in this brutal, scathing, hard-edged Western. Charlie scours the backwaters of Australia, but isn't certain if he can carry out his mission. Captain Stanley is intent on taming Australia: he has been forced to move there with his delicate wife, Martha Stanley (Emily Watson), and apparently wants to make it an appropriate place for them to live. Bringing a bit of Britain to the Outback, trying to civilize and structure the grueling landscape, attempting the impossible. Note the well kept, modern home with the white picket fence in middle of the relentless Outback, completely out of place and downright comical. A movie you cannot turn away from; it is so heartless and uncompromising, filled with disregard to innocence and civility. More blood is probably spilled in "The Proposition" than any Western I've ever seen and, and director John Hillcoat's lofty goal is to make art from incredible carnage. Men are stomped to death, whipped to their last breath, speared, shot at point blank; I could go on. The strength of "The Proposition" is its relentless moral ambiguity. Characters that would be heroic in more conventional Western movies show their darker sides. It's a tough an uncompromising story, but it's a superbly written, features terrific acting on all fronts with beautiful cinematography capturing the desolate landscape where the strongest survive.… Expand
Jul 16, 2014This is alright. The cinematography is great and the acting is phenomenal. John Hillcoat is also clearly very talented as a director and it shows here. The setting is perfect for this film and provides a great backdrop for everything. In addition, the story is compelling and really has you hooked from beginning to end. It was hard to look away at times as you awaited what unfolds. The score is also marvelously composed and utilized. However, for me, the film was far too violent. The graphic violence depicted distracted from everything else. A lot of the violence was unnecessary as well, as it did not need to all be depicted. The film is very bleak and depressing, but it did not need to become coated in blood as well. A lot of the violence could have been excluded in favor or other elements that still communicate the overall message. Overall, this one could have been a lot better if it just toned down its over the top violence, which is a shame.… Expand

Overall Experience
Excellent location and atmoshere
August 25, 2014
I've stayed at this hotel twice now. I will never stay at any other hotel in Kansas City. I am active duty military, and therefore have stayed in some less than desirable hotels over the years. This hotel is definately not in that category. Everything about my stay was an absolute pleasure. The executive lounge, the bar, and the resteraunt were all amazing. If you get to make the choice, choose this hotel for Kansas City.
Great Place!

When staying in downtown KC, the Crowne Plaza is definitely the place to stay. I was here on business but being only 2 blocks from the Power and Light District, the evenings in KC were enjoyable.

In the heart of the Power and Light district of Kansas City is this gem of a hotel, the Crowne Plaza. Easily accessible to the gamut of restaurants and entertainment venues in the area and for an affordable rate. Our daughter got married i n Kansas City and we recommended this hotel for all our guests and relatives. We are glad we did.
Worst Hotel EVER !!!!

Do not stay at this hotel unless you are planning to party all night long and not let anyone else get any sleep !
