Gunfire, arrests erupt as Giants fans revel in win : WiscNews
Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014 Bike-riding, beer drinker in Boca arrested after fighting cop By Jorge Milian Palm Beach Post Staff Writer When Philip St. Louis was stopped by a Boca Raton police officer for drinking a beer in public, the homeless man had a ready explanation. St. Louis told the officer that he was allowed to have a beer after work and I couldnt stop him, according to an arrest report. That turned out to be St. Louis first mistake. He followed by resisting arrest then threatened the officer by saying he would put a bullet in my head, the report said. The officer was patrolling the area of the Boca Raton Municipal Garden, which has recently turned into a meeting place for homeless individuals to drink, according to police. St. Louis, 54, was spotted by the officer riding a bike on the roadway while holding a Steel Reserve beer can that he sipped as he rode, the report said. The officer tried to get St. Louis to stop, but he pedaled away while drinking the remainder of the beer. The officer ran down St. Louis, who resisted being handcuffed, the report said. The officer wrote on the report that he nearly utilized his Taser on St. Louis before the man allowed himself to be handcuffed. St. Louis continued to make threats after he was taken to the Boca Raton Police Department. He specifically indicated that killing my family and I would be doing the world a favor, the officer wrote in his report. He explained that I would see him again someday and it would be my end. St. Louis is facing three counts of corruption by making threats to a public servant and one count each of resisting an officer with violence and committing a municipal violation for drinking in public. He is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail. More News

Appetites: Sampling Minnesota's gonzo beer flavors | Minnesota Public Radio News
Paul, Minn. Oct 29, 2014 A flight of five of Urban Growler's craft beers Friday, Oct. 24, 2014 in St. Paul.Jennifer Simonson / MPR News 6min 44sec It's pumpkin spice season lattes, oreos, yogurt and now beer. Beer drinkers are seeing an onslaught of pumpkin brews, and it seems like every brewery out there has its own gonzo flavors hitting the market. Can this be a good trend? James Norton, editor and publisher of the food and drink website Heavy Table , prepared a guided sampling for MPR News' Tom Crann of some of the more out-there flavors made by local breweries. In choosing the beers, Norton found the challenge wasn't in finding five worth trying, but rather in narrowing it down. The beers: Schell's | Black Forest Cherry, Noble Star Series | New Ulm, MN Borealis Fermentery | Mon Cherries Cherry | Knife River, MN Urban Growler Brewing | Candy Corn Imperial Cream Ale | St. Paul Bent Paddle Brewing + Duluth Coffee Company | Cold Press Black | Duluth, MN A photo from the in-studio beer tasting.Jayne Solinger / MPR News Northgate Brewing | Pumpion Pumpkin Spice Ale | Minneapolis Tasting notes: Norton decided to kick off the tasting with the Black Forest Cherry from the state's oldest brewery, August Schell's in New Ulm. "They've got a great new series of beers called the Noble Star Series, which is a bunch of plays on a style called Berliner Weisse," Norton said. "It's a style known for its sour flavor, and in Germany it's often sweetened with a fruit syrup or an arboreal syrup called woodruff. This beer, Black Forest Cherry, was made in a batch that aged for a year before it was further fermented with 5,000 pounds of red tart cherries." CRANN: "Not sweet at all, cidery." NORTON: "Almost balsamic, well-balanced, sophisticated." Next they sampled the Mon Cherries from a Belgian monastery-inspired brewery near Knife River, just north of Duluth called Borealis Fermentery. This beer, Norton says, is "a totally different take on cherry, I think. It's a cherry-enhanced riff on a malty Belgian style of ale known as Dubbel." CRANN: "Not much sweetness, couldn't taste more different than the other cherry brew." NORTON: "In contrast to the almost vinegar-like bite of the Schell's, this has got a really deep spice, dried fruit kind of holiday funkiness to it. A lot of depth, and a lot of balance." The next on the list is an unusual flavor from St. Paul's Urban Growler: Candy Corn Imperial Cream Ale. Urban Growler's Candy Corn Imperial Cream Ale Friday, Oct. 24, 2014 at the St. Paul microbrewery.Jennifer Simonson / MPR News "It's a bit less of a refined concept, but you've gotta love the sense of fun," Norton says. "It was brewed with 65 pounds of Candy Corn that was frozen and pulverized into dust before being added to the brew kettle. There ares also 160 pounds of blueberries in the batch." CRANN: "Some sweetness, also bitterness, no fake sweetness." NORTON: "Candy corn in nose, not in taste. Hoppy astringency. Creamy, sweet beer, not obscene." For a little buzz in a brew, they sampled Cold Press Black, which Bent Paddle Brewing in Duluth teams up with Duluth Coffee Company to make. The beer and variations of the beer won All Pints North Brewfest in Duluth and Autumn Brew Review the past two years, so it's much loved. Eric Faust at Duluth Coffee Company described the process for Norton: "Bent Paddle has us not only roast the coffee, but we also brew it," Faust said. "Meaning that when we deliver it to the brewery we deliver full kegs of cold press coffee already brewed. To my knowledge this is the only coffee beer on the market done on this scale like this." Other breweries will add ground coffee to the wort, which can have mixed results, Norton says. CRANN: "Disorienting. It's two great tastes that almost taste great together." NORTON: "This is one of my favorite coffee beers from anywhere tremendous sense of balance and a really pure, roasty, delightful natural coffee flavor. The beer kind of steps back and lets the coffee work, which is OK with me." And finally, to the ubiquitous pumpkin. Northgate Brewing in Minneapolis has a pumpkin beer called Pumpion Spiced Ale that the crew at Elevated Beer Wine and Spirits endorsed as among their favorites of the season. The beer unites a strong English Pale Ale and pumpkin pie flavors - spices were added during the boil, and again with vanilla extract during maturation. CRANN: "A little pumpkin flavor, creamy." NORTON: "I love that this isn't overly sweet, and it's got a clean sense of balance despite the spice notes." The news on your schedule from MPR News Update Email Address*

"Interstellar" is overly explanatory about its physics, its dialogue can be clunky and you may want to send composer Hans Zimmer's relentless organ into deep space. But if you take these for blips rather than black holes, the majesty of "Interstellar" is something to behold. The film opens in the near future where a new kind of Dust Bowl, one called "the blight," brings crop-killing storms of dust upon the Midwest farm of engineer-turned-farmer Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his two children, the adventuresome 10-year-old Murph (Mackenzie Foy) and the 15-year-old budding farmer Tom (Timothee Chalamet). The rustic homestead, where Cooper and his father-in-law (John Lithgow) drink beer on the porch, recalls the Indiana home of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" an early hint that "Interstellar" moving and sentimental will be more Spielberg (who was once attached to direct) than Kubrick. In the imperiled climate, space exploration is viewed as part of the "excess" of the 20th century. Textbooks now read that the moon landings were faked. But Cooper, a former NASA pilot, still believes in science's capacity for greatness. He seethes: "We used to look up in the sky and wonder about our place in the stars. Now we just look down and wonder about our place in the dirt." The spirit of wonderment, too, has sometimes lacked in our movies. Nolan who shot in both 35mm and 70mm and prefers his films massive on Imax, but not, thank our stars, in 3-D remains one of the few purveyors of DeMille-sized big-screen grandeur. View gallery This photo released by Paramount Pictures shows, from left, Mackenzie Foy, and Matthew McConaughey, Nolan shoots for the stars, literally and cinematically, when Cooper's curiosity (he and Murph tail a flying drone through the wheat fields) brings him to a secret NASA lair run by a Dr. Brand (Michael Caine). Large-scale dreaming has gone underground. They enlist him to pilot a desperate mission through a wormhole to follow an earlier expedition that may have found planets capable of hosting human life. Much discussion of gravity and relativity follows, as Nolan (who co-wrote the script with his brother Jonathan and consulted with theoretical physicist Kip Thorne) tries valiantly to place his quasi-plausible sci-fi tale within the realm of mathematics and science. "Interstellar" is a trip, for sure, but it's not a supernatural one. There will be no aliens poking forth from bellies or monument-blasting battles with extraterrestrials; it's just about us humans. The journey means Cooper will, under the best of circumstances, be gone for years. The parting from Murph, who resents the abandonment, is wrenching. He's a dutiful, driven father stepping out to work, only in another galaxy. All they can send him are video messages. His crew are Brand's daughter (Anne Hathaway), a pair of researchers (a wonderful David Gyasi and Wes Bentley) and a robot named TARS that looks like the monolith of "2001: A Space Odyssey" if it were a shape-shifting Transformer. Voiced by Bill Irwin, it's programed to speak with 90 percent honesty and a dash of humor. What happens when the space ship, Endurance, moves past Saturn and passes through the wormhole? For starters, Nolan and his cinematographer, Hoyte Van Hoytema, conjure beautiful galactic imagery, contorting space and, eventually, dimensions. View gallery This photo released by Paramount Pictures shows Jessica Chastain in a scene from the film, '&quo But what he's really doing is dropping countless big ideas science, survival, exploration, love into a cosmic blender, and seeing what keeps its meaning out there in the heavenly abyss. As in "The Dark Knight," Nolan doesn't investigate all of its philosophical questions so much as juggle them in an often dazzling, occasionally frustratingly incomplete way. But under extreme gravitational forces, the core of "Interstellar" holds. It remains tethered to Earth, toggling between barren, otherworldly landscapes and life back home on an increasingly uninhabitable planet. There, Murph (now played by Jessica Chastain) has grown into a physicist trying to solve an essential equation. More than anything, "Interstellar" makes you feel the great preciousness of time, a resource as valuable as oxygen. A misadventure of a few hours on one watery planet, where relative time accelerates, costs the astronauts decades. Returning to the ship, Cooper watches videos of his kids growing up before his eyes and weeps uncontrollably.

Beer Trademarks: Does a brew by any other name taste as good? | Food + Drink Blog | NUVO News | Indianapolis, IN
In August 1997 I had to make a big decision. Pay someone else a licensing fee for the use of our company name or change it. I really liked the Brick Brewery name, and so did James Brickman, owner of Brick Brewing Company in Ontario, Canada. What was I going to do with all the newly made labels? Schmidt telephoned Brickman. They reached an agreementSchmidt could use up his labels and he would change Brick to Back. Back Road Brewery is now a registered trademark and is exclusively marketed and sold as such, said Schmidt., adding, The new name has been beloved ever since [Jan. 1, 1998]. Nashville-based Big Woods made their 2013 name change for marketing reasons, explains co-owner Jeff McCabe. We are building multiple businesses (restaurants and brewing), with different concepts and different marks. We believe there is great value in the uniqueness of ''Quaff ON!" for beer and we like 'Big Woods' for very specific applications. With 3000 breweries developing and naming new beers all the time, establishing a unique name that is clearly registrable has become a big challenge - and frustrating for the team that comes up with a great name only to learn later that someone sold 30 barrels under a similar name five years ago, offers Upland owner Doug Dayhoff. We try to do exhaustive research before proceeding with any beer we are going to bottle and distribute - but I always worry that some distant brewery 100 miles away served a few kegs of beer under that name a couple years ago and later tries to impede our use.

Military Academy's website, Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr. took full blame for the school's recruiting violations this year that included courting high school football players with alcohol and VIP treatment on a raucous bus ride. Report: West Point football team recruited high school athletes with booze, women The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., disciplined 20 cadets for promoting underage drinking and other misdeeds and self-reported a recruiting violation to the NCAA. Two officers were reprimanded along with a pair of coaches. Those involved, though, avoided more serious punishments, including dismissal from the academy for cadets and courts-martial for officers. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. When Army football recruits took a bus trip with head coach Bobby Ross, there was no drinking and definitely no dancing in the aisles like a trip for recruits earlier this year. Ross came out of retirement to coach the U.S. Military Academy's Black Knights from 2004 to 2006, and he did take cadets and prospects for a ride down New York's Palisades Parkway. But it wasn't for a night of unsupervised fun. The recruits, their parents and every member of Ross' coaching staff was along for the ride, he said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "There was no beer, there were no women, there was nothing like that," Ross said. "And it was supervised by the entire coaching staff." The bus trips to the Palisades Mall came under scrutiny last week after an Army report leaked toThe Gazetteshowed unsupervised high school football recruits and 20 cadets used the jaunt as an opportunity for underage drinking and raucous revelry. West Point's superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen said Sundaythat all cadets and leaders involved had been punished and that the antics of the Jan. 25 outing won't be repeated. Ross, 77, is a legend in coaching circles. But before he took to the sidelines, he was on the front lines of the Cold War with the Army's 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment where he served as a lieutenant in a unit that was tasked with stopping a Soviet advance into Germany. Ross said his Army experience showed him that athletes at West Point needed to be officers first, and football players second. "I have great respect for Army athletes," he said. The leaked report said the Palisades trip dated back to Ross' tenure as coach. The same report said mall trips had few rules and no officer supervision. Ross is mad about that. "This is very damaging to my reputation," said Ross, who contacted The Gazette to set the record straight. Under him, the trips were much tamer, he said. The Palisades Mall had a Dave and Buster's franchise that was the perfect place for the coach to talk to parents and recruits. The group would get a buffet dinner and then Ross would take the stage. "I would tell them a bit about West Point," he said. "Then we would show them a film on the history of West Point." Ross may be best known for his years in the NFL. He led the San Diego Chargers to the Super Bowl and took the Detroit Lions to the playoffs. Before that, he earned top coaching honors for leading the Georgia Tech Bulldogs to a share of the National Championship in 1990. Before that, though, Ross started his coaching career by showing future officers how to win on the gridiron at the Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. Building a team that will have to be better on a battlefield than it is on a football field means bringing in great recruits and showing them quickly that their future is about more than touchdowns, Ross said. The trips to the Palisades Mall accomplished that goal by letting coaches tell recruits and their families about the values of West Point, he said. "I went on every bus trip," Ross said. "We would go somewhere in the neighborhood of five to seven times in the season." The hottest entertainment for the recruits was a 45 minute break to play video games at the mall, Ross said. A graduate of VMI, Ross sees his reputation as sacred. For him and his family, much of life has been about duty, honor and country. The coach's children have served - one is a 1988 graduate of the Air Force Academy. He said he wanted players who could live up to military ideals. That, he said, was more important than winning. "That's what I believe in," Ross said. "I believe in the West Point system." Ross took over the 0-13 team in 2004 after his wife talked him into the job. "She said it was my patriotic duty," he said. The Black Knights under Ross showed steady improvement on the field, but never were great. He went 9-25 in his three years. Ross re-entered retirement in 2006. "I just didn't have the energy," he said. 
. Washington (AFP) - App in hand, Jack Plater-Zyberk has delivered caviar, condoms, chicken nuggets, cases of beer and even a little black dress. And he can get it to you within an hour. Plater-Zyberk, who maneuvers his 1992 BMW through Washington streets, is one of an estimated 5,000 independent contractors in the US for Postmates, an online service and smartphone app which delivers anything from lunchtime tacos to late-night diapers. "For me, it's like being a superhero," said Plater-Zyberk, who uses Postmates to supplement his income as a fill-in attorney. "When you get hot shawarma and pizza to people at 3:00 am, they're happy to see you." With Postmates and other start-ups offering quick delivery of meals, groceries and other items, the online world is delivering again, more than a decade after the spectacular collapse of the major players in the space. In the 2.0 version of online delivery, things are different. Most Americans have high-speed Internet at home, and smartphones as they move around.

All dropped off within 60 minutes. Postmates, which has raised $23 million, uses independent deliverers, known as "postmates," who like the flexibility of choosing their work shifts, Lehmann explained. "We have a lot of students or people who have another part-time job. We have artists, musicians," he said. "There are people who are looking for a job that gives them this flexibility." Grocery delivery firm Instacart, which has raised $55 million, expects revenue to grow tenfold this year, and is now in 15 cities with 1,000 "personal shoppers," who are also independent contractors. View gallery Stephan Grigioni (L), courier community manager, and Yohan Ferdinando, operations manager, work at t "We've had to invest very little in infrastructure outside our technology platform," said Instacart general manager Heather Wake. Instacart has partnerships with big grocery chains like Whole Foods and Costco and touts its large selection and personalized service. "Our personal shoppers are trained in grocery selection," Wake said. "We can respond to the customer, so if someone wants bananas that are a little bit brown we can accommodate that." Companies in the food and grocery e-commerce and delivery industry raised nearly $486 million in 109 deals globally in the 12 months ending in June, up 51 percent from a year earlier, according to the venture capital blog CB Insights. In the US market, some $545 million was pumped into the food delivery space in the 18 months to September, excluding restaurant delivery, according to Rosenheim Advisors, which tracks food tech startups. That includes the reported $90 million acquisition of food delivery group Caviar by Square. "People are a lot more comfortable ordering online than they were 10 or 15 years ago, and that is important for something as personal as food," said Brita Rosenheim, who leads Rosenheim Advisors. An Amazon Fresh truck arrives at a warehouse in Inglewood, California, on June 27, 2013 (AFP Photo/K "Across the board you're seeing growth in these categories -- grocery delivery, meal delivery, meal kits." The research firm BI Intelligence estimates that same-day deliveries will generate $100 million in 20 US cities this year, and that the market will grow to $2 billion by 2016 and $4 billion by 2018. - Hungry for takeout - The fast-growing segment of restaurant delivery services include startups like GrubHub, which raised $200 million in a public stock offering, and Foodler. "Americans spend about $9 billion a year on takeout from independently owned restaurants, so this is a huge opportunity," Abby Hunt, a GrubHub spokeswoman, told AFP. "And 90 percent of those orders are still placed with a phone and paper method, so it's very inefficient." GrubHub is "the leading company in this space," according to Hunt, citing the company's links to 30,000 restaurants in the United States and in the British capital London. Hunt says most deliveries are handled by restaurants themselves, and that GrubHub allows them to add sales with little extra cost. Even as startups multiply, established firms are looking to get a piece of the action. The taxi app Uber has launched deliveries in some cities, either using cars or bike messengers, for meals and other items. The biggest challenges may be coming from industry heavyweights Amazon and Google, both of which have begun offering same-day grocery delivery. The "Amazon Fresh" service for groceries and local shops -- currently in just a few West Coast locations and New York -- is expected to expand further. Google Express in October added Boston, Chicago and Washington for same-day delivery service for groceries, books, sporting goods and other items in partnership with local retailers. "Our idea was to make shopping your favorite local stores as easy and fast as shopping online," said Google's Brian Elliott. But startups like Instacart and Postmates say they can be more nimble, offering more personal service and a wider selection of goods, including fresh foods. Plater-Zyberk noted that when a customer wanted a "little black dress," he took pictures of three items and emailed them to the woman to allow her to choose. 
. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren brought her brand of populist politics back to Kentucky on Tuesday to campaign for Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes one week before voters go to the polls in one of the country's most closely watched Senate races. Warren, making her second trip to Kentucky this election season, jumped between full throated attack mode against Republican policies and soft stories of how her janitor father helped her family "make it into a middle class that America's labor unions built." "There is no better fighter for America's middle class, for America's working people, than Alison Lundergan Grimes," Warren said, citing Grimes' support of raising the minimum wage. "Alison is willing to fight back and better yet, Alison is willing to fight forward." The rally at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers attracted steel workers, teamsters, firefighters and communication workers who sipped beer in plastic cups and listened to Warren, the first in a lineup of political stars visiting Kentucky in the final week of the contentious campaign. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will campaign with Sen. Mitch McConnell on Wednesday, and Hillary Rodham Clinton will stump for Grimes on Saturday. Stephen Piercey, a 32-year-old UPS worker and a steward in the Teamsters union, said he supports Grimes because she opposes right to work legislation that would allow companies to hire nonunion workers, which he said would weaken the labor union's ability to bargain for its members. "We've got outstanding health care, I got a pension I'll have one day, I make good money on the hour," he said. "All of those things combined give me a quality of life I wouldn't be able to have if I didn't have a union." View gallery Kentucky democratic senatorial candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes listens as Massachusetts Senator El McConnell, the Senate minority leader, made his pitch for Kentucky's working families in Campbellsville on Tuesday, where he campaigned with country music singer Lee Greenwood at a company that makes clothes for the military. In 2012, Federal Prison Industries, a government-owned corporation that provides jobs to federal prison inmates, sought to bid on the military contract that officials at Campbellsville Apparel said would have threatened their business. After pressure from McConnell, Federal Prison Industries decided not to bid on the contract. "He's kept our jobs open," said Beverly Brown, 44, who has worked at Campbellsville Apparel for 15 years. "He's kind of been out there helping us as working people." McConnell briefly mentioned his efforts to help the company, but spent most of his time telling the crowd about how, despite his 30 years in the Senate, he is the candidate of change in this race while Grimes is just "a new face to vote for the president's agenda." "Change is not about how new you are, change is about where you want to go and I want to change America," McConnell said. Grimes, who has refused to say whether she voted for President Barack Obama, has said she would not answer to the president if elected. Tuesday, she called Kentucky's Senate election "a revolution," asking for union workers to help "take back Washington." "It is labor that has lifted millions out of poverty and it is labor that will help us grow the middle class," Grimes said. Politics & Government

Police say 49-year-old Russell Miller was charged Friday with impersonating a public servant. They say the Karns City man confessed to telling at least four businesses he was Stephen Zappala or a member of his staff. They say Miller drove a car that looked like an unmarked police vehicle and told employees at two stores they hadn't given him all the products he purchased. They say he got away with $40 worth of pizza and a case of suds. Police have offered to reimburse the businesses for their losses. A spokesman says the real Zappala knows about the imposter but won't comment. Information on Miller's lawyer wasn't immediately available. The Associated Press

Almost 300 volunteers went to Brazil They're building a complex for a program serving kids from poor areas just outside Curitiba, Brazil Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2014 CNN Heroes Curitiba, Brazil (CNN) -- More than any single soccer player, the fans have taken center stage during the World Cup. For the last month, each team's devotees have donned their country's colors, painted their faces, shouted their songs, rejoiced in their victories and cried bitter tears of defeat. "Whether you're in a host city or back at home watching it on T.V. ... it captures you," said Jon Burns, a lifelong fan of English football. "I just love the passion." Burns has made it his mission to turn that fan fervor into something more. His UK-based nonprofit, Lionsraw , mobilizes soccer fans to volunteer in cities hosting the World Cup and other major tournaments. Volunteers have helped nearly 6,000 kids through soccer clinics, educational programs and construction projects. "We do football tours with a difference," said Burns, 48. "They get to watch games, drink beer in a bar ... but for a huge chunk of our time, we go out to people in need." It's an idea that struck Burns nearly 10 years ago, while sitting in a packed stadium during a game. "I suddenly saw all the fans around me and ... it was like an untapped army," he said. "And I started asking myself, 'What could I do if we could mobilize some of these people to do some good?'" Since 2006, Burns' group has enlisted more than 500 volunteers to work on construction projects, educational programs and soccer clinics that have helped nearly 6,000 children. "Football's always had the ability to break down barriers," he said. "We're taking it a step further." Giving back in Brazil Last month, Burns and his team brought almost 300 volunteers to Curitiba, one of the 12 host cities for this year's World Cup. The group's main project was constructing an education complex for Futebol de Rua, an after-school program that serves children from poor areas just outside the city center. Oscar Muxfeldt Neto, one of the program's founders, could not believe it when Burns offered in 2012 to help his organization. "To come and to do this for us, for the children ... it is still a dream, you know?" he said. "This is the World Cup spirit." The facility -- where academic tutoring, soccer instruction, art and music classes will be provided to more than 500 at-risk youth -- should be up and running by the end of the year. Burns and his volunteers will return there to teach English and coach soccer for years to come. "When we invest in a place, it's not for a project. It's for the long-term," Burns said. "The World Cup is just the first step into a country. It's a launchpad for us." Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2014 CNN Heroes Like many countries that have hosted major sporting events, Brazil has seen protests during the past year about the estimated $11 billion spent on projects that have not necessarily improved the country's public services. While Burns makes a point to avoid politics, he believes his work helps communities that have not benefited economically from the games. "We try to create opportunities for the local people," Burns said. "We're not here to save anybody or solve anything. We're here to do our bit." Igniting a passion While Burns wants to assist those in need, he's also hoping that giving back sparks something deeper within his volunteers, many of whom have never done anything like this before. When we invest in a place, it's not for a project. It's for the long-term. The World Cup is just the first step into a country. It's a launchpad for us. Jon Burns Volunteers from 12 countries came to Brazil to work with Lionsraw; most are from the UK, France, Australia and the United States. Burns finds that a shared love of soccer gives them an instant bond that gets stronger as they work toward a common goal. "Within a couple days, they're just part of a team. And it's a tight team. There's a lot of fun, a lot of joking, and guys become friends for life," he said.

and Europe, brewers around the world are leaving no stone unturned to attract traffic to their stores and boost sales. Likewise, U.K.-based brewer Diageo plc ( DEO ) has also undertaken several strategic initiatives to maintain the top line at a decent level, after witnessing sluggish revenue due to volume declines in its key markets in the past couple of years. Recently, Diageo introduced an amber ale variation under the beer category called Guinness The 1759. It is an ultra-premium beer brewed with traditional beer malt and superior-quality peated whisky malt with a rich butterscotch aroma and a fruity sweetness. The new amber ale variation, limited-edition beer will be available in select bars as well as online at www.reservebars.com starting from late-October. Only 90,000 bottles each of 25.4 oz. have been brewed and will be offered at a suggested retail price of $34.99. Like Diageo, innovation has always been an important growth strategy for brewers like Molson Coors Brewing Company ( TAP ), Constellation Brands Inc. ( STZ ) and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV ( BUD ). Earlier this month, Diageo introduced a sour variation in the vodka category called SMIRNOFF Sours. Back in June, Diageo announced a third variant of Orphan Barrel the Rhetoric Whiskey. It is limited edition craft bourbon, which will be released over the years after the completion of the ageing process. The 20-year old variant is scheduled to release this year, while the 21-year old variant will come up in the next. Older variants will be released gradually. Diageo, owner of brands such as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff and Guinness, has also been exploring opportunities to expand geographically through acquisitions. The introduction of new products will boost the companys top line in the near future.

Read More Close Open A sign in the parking lot of Pig Trail Liquor reads Our beer is cold as your exs heart! in Ozark, Arkansas, on Oct. 15, 2014. The bar manager Elizabeth Taylor says a ballot initiative to legalize alcohol statewide would siphon 10 percent of sales. Photograph: Millie Hogue/Bloomberg Arkansas liquor stores have allied with religious leaders to fight statewide legalization of alcohol sales. The stores in wet counties dont want to lose customers. The churches dont want to lose souls. A ballot issue next week asks voters whether to amend their constitution to permit sales of intoxicating liquors in all 75 counties, up from about half. Passage would further erode the shrinking swath of America, mostly in the South, clinging to vestiges of Prohibition even as cultural attitudes and waning religious influence have killed it off elsewhere. If successful, Arkansas would join states and municipalities trading in looser vice laws for tax revenue and economic activity. Colorado and Washington this year began taxing legal sales of marijuana, while New Jersey is fighting in federal court to allow betting on professional sports at racetracks and struggling Atlantic City casinos. If people can get alcohol right there in their home town, theyre not going to drive here anymore, said Elizabeth Taylor , a manager at Pig Trail Liquor in Ozark, in a wet county surrounded by dry ones in northwest Arkansas. Its just common sense. Let Arkansas Decide , spearheading the initiative, says passage would keep local dollars in their communities, attract business and cut down on gasoline use, pollution and impaired driving. Contributions have come from out-of-state convenience-and grocery-store chains as far away as Iowa . A post on the groups Facebook page features a band transmitting the message with the Dry County Blues . Old Bootlegger How I wish I had somewhere to go/To wet my lips on a fifth of Old Crow/Instead Im sittin here in this dried-up town/They even shut the old bootlegger down, John T. Parks sings to the strumming of a banjo and guitar. If I had a bottle Id be feeling just fine/The dry county blues they get you down every time/And there aint no cure except to drink em away/I sure hope I get paid today. Dry America has been dying for decades. Action has been at the local level, with some towns in Mississippi and Kentucky relaxing temperance laws as recently as last month. Since 2004, Texans have voted in 712 local elections to legalize or expand alcohol sales, approving 79 percent, said John Hatch of Texas Petition Strategies, a consultant for municipalities trying to go wet. Government: Out The measure in Arkansas is unique in that it could determine the status of the entire state. Passage would force its 37 dry counties, which forbid the retail sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages, though often with exceptions for private clubs, to allow it. The law would take effect in July. Steve Schmidt, senior vice president at the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, said he couldnt recall another such statewide vote in his 20-year career. On a recent afternoon at the Speak Easy in Ozark, Roy Williams , 49, straddled a barstool and said he planned to vote for the measure. He said the government shouldnt decide where he can buy booze. Their job is to protect us, Williams, a truck driver, said as he tightened his grip on a sweating can of Coors Lite. I dont want the government messing with me. Citizens for Local Rights , the opposition group funded by alcohol retailers seeking to preserve their competitive advantage, argues the measure would lead to beer joints and honky tonks right next to our grade schools and churches, according to its website. Porn, Casinos Larry Page , a Southern Baptist pastor and director of the Arkansas Faith and Ethics Council, which traces its roots to the Anti-Saloon League of Arkansas in 1899, said the initiative is about more than just the dangers of alcohol. Were not saying, Hey, instead of voting the whole state wet, lets vote the whole state dry, he said. Were just saying, Let people locally continue to make the decision. Its not the first time political issues have made for strange bedfellows, Page said, recalling when his group joined with feminists to oppose pornography and cooperated with Mississippi casinos to fight gambling in Arkansas. The end of Prohibition in the U.S., which banned the manufacture, sale or transportation of alcohol from 1920 through 1933, let states decide the legality of alcohol sales within their borders. While many retained their bans for decades, teetotalers have been on the losing end ever since, said David J. Hanson, professor emeritus of sociology at the State University of New York at Potsdam. I would bet there will come a time when virtually all counties will be wet, said Hanson, who studied drinking patterns and problems for more than 40 years. Parched Landscape Most jurisdictions with booze bans still on the books are clustered in Arkansas and neighboring states, including Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee . Nationwide data on the precise number can be misleading: some counties that are dry are home to cities and towns that arent, for instance, while definitions of dry can vary by state to include liquor but not beer. One argument for loosening restrictions is that studies show higher rates of binge drinking and related traffic deaths in places with stricter alcohol laws. Still, emphasizing economics is the way to woo voters, said Hatch of Texas Petition Strategies. Nationwide, the alcohol industry employs 3.9 million workers and generated $21 billion in state and local revenue in 2010, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. Drinking Buddy A Suffolk University/USA Today poll last month found that 45 percent of likely Arkansas voters said they backed the measure, 40 percent said they were opposed and 14 percent were undecided. The survey of 500 likely voters, conducted by telephone Sept. 20-23, had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. Back at Pig Trail Liquor, where a sign in the parking lot promises Our beer is cold as your exs heart!, Taylor estimated that statewide legalization would siphon off 10 percent of sales. Well, goodbye now, she called out to a departing customer whod just driven an hour to buy rum and Coke. If this thing passes, I guess we wont see you again.

Viola and Mike Sholar, at roughly seven weeks old, Brew is already establishing its roots in the Raleigh area by bringing together quality products from around the region and highlighting them in one venue. For us, we liked the idea of acting as a gallery for coffee, beer and people. We do that through a lot of different ways, like rotating art on a monthly basis, Viola said. Its just another way of highlighting some great people in our area. We [dont] try to reinvent the wheel because theres just so much good stuff already in our area. We just get to highlight it and say, This is whats great about Raleigh. Viola and Sholar have carefully cultivated Brew since its inception to be a strong establishment that reaches a high standard of quality. Excellence is the goal for all aspects of how the coffee bar operates. Whatever standard youre being measured against, it should meet or exceed whatever the best is out there, Sholar said. Viola continued to explain what standard they hold their establishment to: Its like if you would be disappointed in any way if you got that, dont serve it because it needs to be just as good, if not better, than what you would want served in front of you. From their days running the Raleigh Coffee Club, a weekly coffee subscription for people to try a bunch of different coffee beans, Viola and Sholar forged relationships with coffee roasters in the area. We were getting coffee directly from coffee roasters, and we were meeting people on street corners and giving bags of coffee. It was weird; we essentially turned into a weekly roaster coffee subscription, Viola said. Youd get to taste coffee from all around the Triangle. It was really cool and that really allowed us the opportunity to meet a lot of local roasters and to get to know a lot of the coffee shops in the area and see how they were producing coffee. Viola and Sholar soon realized they needed to expand their business after the Raleigh Coffee Club became too large to handle. They both fell in love with the idea of opening their own coffee shop. For us, we wanted to create a space that would combine the things that we love; which was always coffee, beer and people. We wanted a place where all of those can come together and thrive and live in harmony, Viola said. I love coffee, I love beer, and the greatest conversations and relationships I have in my life tend to happen around those things. So we wanted to create a space that would make that happen. What if we made a coffee and beer bar? We were like, Yeah we can do that. Who says we cant? The duo quickly accomplished their goal within a year-and-a-half thanks to loans, help from friends and donations from patrons on Kickstarter. They raised $10,000 in two weeks and were blown away by the generosity of people in the community. Kickstarter patrons stop by to see their establishment all the time, according to Viola and Sholar. Even if wed never gotten a dollar from it, just to have people feel invested and feel connected to [the Brew] is worth the time and effort, Sholar said. By featuring beer from regional breweries and coffee from roasters within the Triangle, the Brew is able to showcase all of what the Triangle has to offer its Raleigh residents. Because our goal is to feature the best the Triangle has to offer in coffee and beer, we also feature an additional guest roaster on a rotating monthly basis, Viola said. Right now we have Torch Coffee Roasters out of East Raleigh. In November, well have somebody else and that will always be rotating to highlight what other great coffee we have in the area. Its the Raleigh Coffee Club all over again! Sholar added. With beer from select establishments on draft, Brew implements a sort of tap-takeover to highlight a different brewery from the Triangle every month. Right now, they are featuring Raleigh Brewing Company and will feature Fortnight Brewing Company out of Cary next month. We try to stick with some smaller microbreweries that arent getting a lot of attention and some newer people to have on draft where they might not be on draft at some of the bigger places, Viola said. Brew continues to draw in customers thanks to the way the owners carefully present themselves, their products, and their business both in the shop and on social media. Brew has pages for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Yelp and Foursquare. Thats all our advertising; we dont do any traditional advertising. Its all word-of-mouth or social media-generated, Sholar said. According to Viola, social media holds them to a higher standard because everything is documented. Social medias been huge for us. Especially when were on bar and I tell Mike, Listen, do you want somebody to take a picture of that? Because if not, dont send it because chances are they will, Viola said. 
Hudson, Guthrie finally reach Series Josh Dubow | Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO In the middle of a champagne-and-beer-soaked clubhouse after the San Francisco Giants won the NL Championship Series, Tim Hudson was given the chance to speak to his team. The message was as simple as Hudsons approach on the mound: World Series, baby! After 16 years, 214 regular-season wins and seven failed trips to the postseason, Hudson has finally made it to baseballs biggest stage at age 39. Hudson is set to take the mound tonight for the Giants when they return home to face Jeremy Guthrie and the Royals in Game 3 of the World Series after a two-game split in Kansas City. Its almost a sense of relief that its finally here, that what Ive hoped and dreamed for throughout my career is finally here, and theres not going to be anybody on the field thats more ready than I am tomorrow night, Hudson said Thursday. Hudsons brilliant career began on the other side of San Francisco Bay as he helped Oakland make four straight trips to the postseason that ended with Game 5 losses in the division series. Hudson got back to the playoffs with Atlanta, losing in the division series in 2005 to Houston and 2010 to San Francisco. The Braves made it again last year when Hudson was hurt but lost again in the division series. After signing a $23 million, two-year contract this offseason with San Francisco, Hudson finally got to experience postseason success. You often wonder, is it ever going to happen? Obviously, last year the way my season ended with my ankle injury, things looked a little bleak there for a few moments, Hudson said. But Im just really lucky. Hudson got no-decisions in his first two postseason starts, allowing five runs in 13 2/3 innings against Washington and St. Louis. The limited work of late has paid dividends. Hudson looks much fresher than he did in September when he went 0-4 with an 8.72 ERA in five starts to end the season while dealing with a bum hip. He finished the season with a 9-13 record for his first losing campaign ever. Guthrie had a long wait just to get to the playoffs. He made his first postseason appearance at age 35 when he allowed one run in five innings of a no-decision against Baltimore in Game 3 of the ALCS. That start is Guthries only outing the past four weeks; he did not pitch in the division series sweep against the Angels. So Guthrie has done his best to stay sharp with side work instead of pitching in games. He said he learned at Stanford the importance of going deep into games something that was most evident when he went 13 innings to beat Cal-State Fullerton in the NCAA tournament his final year there. Four days before the draft, Scott Boras, my agent, or adviser at that time, was there, and I dont think he was anticipating or hoping for 13 innings that close to the draft, Guthrie said. But it was 147 pitches. Again, it was a reflection of competing to the end, its yours to win, and watching kind of the pitchers pitch by pitch, and seeing how theyre doing versus kind of letting the number dictate when they were going to be taken out. With a stellar bullpen led by Greg Holland, Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis behind him in Kansas City, Guthrie knows he wont be asked to go that deep on a team that has had only one starter pitch into the seventh this postseason. Thats been the result, but were out there trying to get as deep as we can, Guthrie said. For us to win a game without having to throw all three of our relievers at the back end, Kelvin, and Wade, and Greg, will only give our team a better chance to win throughout the series. 
Eastside Christian church is inviting everyone for some suds and songs Sunday with their 'Beer and Hymns' event, reports KOKI in Tulsa. Church officials say it's an outreach event to discuss the future of the Christian church. "Everybody's welcome," said Michael Riggs with the church. "No questions are banned. No holds barred. Just come and respect each other's opinions, and just have a good honest conversation about God while having a few beers at the same time." But before you think the Father's house will become a frat house, they say they're keeping it family friendly. They will be checking IDs and limiting the drinking to three beers per person. 
Massive Mount Kilimanjaro just adds to its allure. The Indian Ocean laps Tanzania's eastern edge between Kenya and Mozambique, and the "spice island" of Zanzibar is 22 miles off the mainland. Tanzania's sprawling plains are sparsely populated, by people, at least. About half the world's dwindling lion population lives in East Africa, estimates indicate . But they wear tutus in cartoons! 'Even the toilet has a nice view' Zanzibar street food's 'insane variety' Here are five ways to experience Tanzania's splendor. Instagram: Following Bourdain around the world Roam the Ngorongoro Crater Sometimes called "Africa's Garden of Eden," some 25,000 large animals live in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area , which stretches across 3,200 square miles of the southeastern Serengeti Plains adjacent to Serengeti National Park. The 12-mile-wide Ngorongoro Crater is the area's crown jewel. The largest unbroken caldera in the world, it is thought to have formed after an active volcano collapsed about 2.5 million years ago. Well over a million wildebeest pass through the area during the annual Great Migration, one of the planet's most remarkable natural spectacles. From December to March each year, wildebeest, zebras and other animals gather near Lake Ndutu on the edge of the conservation area. From there they move north, eventually ending up in the Northern Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara in the fall. Beyond the huge wildebeest herds, black rhinos, leopards, gazelles and birds thrive here -- as does that most powerful crowd-pleaser, the lion. 'Parts Unknown': 14 things to know about Paraguay Get to know the lions You're bound to be on the lookout for lions in the Serengeti and their conservation deserves a special mention. The tawny lion prides dominating the Ndutu area of the southeastern Serengeti are not your "Lion King" variety of big fuzzy kittens. These giant creatures are respected among locals because of their history of asserting dominance when challenged by aggressive hunters. In an attempt to discourage the trend of stalking and killing lions in the Amboseli Ecosystem, conservation organization Lion Guardians recruits young Maasai warriors to instead protect the regal creatures. By naming the lions and developing relationships by tracking them, members of the guardian program recognize that animals like local lioness Selenkay can live in peace with their human neighbors. Safaris throughout the vast Serengeti give visitors the rare opportunity to see these majestic cats in their native territory. The Ndutu Safari Lodge features 34 cottages with porches facing Lake Ndutu. Learn about Maasai culture For the Maasai, one of the last warrior tribes in the world, cattle are integral to day-to-day life. Besides providing sustenance in the form of milk, and sometimes meat and blood, cows are also currency in the region. The tribes move with their livestock across northern Tanzania and southern Kenya, constructing villages as they go. The settlements generally consist of a ring fence that encloses a group of families, their herds and a collection of mud and dung houses. Where livestock gathers, so do big cats hunting for meals. Relations between the Maasai and the lions that lure tourists by the truckload are tense but evolving. The Maasai are formidable opponents strengthened by a nearly 100% protein diet. A staple is amasi, a lumpy, yogurt-like drink made from fermented milk. Sample the Spice Islands The semi-autonomous islands off the coast of Tanzania exhibit the rich and varied influences that arrived on their shores. On the island of Zanzibar, African, Arab, Indian and European flavors emerge in the cuisine, the homes, the people and the famous carved doors. Today, 99% of the population is Muslim, compared with about a third of the mainland population. Tourism has replaced the spice and slave trades that shaped the island's history, and delicious street food is part of the local island experience. Every night in Stone Town's Forodhani Gardens, vendors set up stalls selling seafood snacks and the famous Zanzibar pizza. Zanzibar pizza is revered as one of the most delicious foods in the region. With toppings ranging from fresh meats to juicy mango, the crepe-like pizza carries its flavorful toppings on the inside almost akin to a burrito. Unlike traditional pizza crust, Zanzibar's variety has the texture of a pancake. And who doesn't love pancakes? The various carts are piled with fresh seafood skewers, African doughnuts called "mandazi" and fried breads. To wash down all the yumminess, try some honey beer or a mixture of sugar cane water, ginger and lime juice. Nearby Pemba Island, also part of the Zanzibar Archipelago, offers a quieter, unspoiled experience. 
There are two different options on the table. Proposition one will allow stores to sell beer and wine in Precinct 2. Proposition two will allow the sale of alcohol and mixed drinks. The owner of Crawdad's off of Highway 62 petitioned to get the propositions on the ballot, and hopes they pass. There's something missing from the shelves and cooler at Crawdad's: beer and wine. "We lose a lot of sales because of beer," said store manager Laura Collins. Collins says, if Proposition One passes, Crawdad's will be able to sell beer and wine. "We have at least 5 to 10 people a day, 'do y'all sell beer?' And if we say no they turn around and walk out," said Collins. "So, I feel like since we're the only American store in town that we'd get a lot of the business if we did have beer." Collins says customers looking for beer and wine go across the street. "Because the line is like right across the street," said Collins. On the other side of the street Market Basket can sell beer and wine, since it's not in Precinct 2. Proposition One would allow Crawdad's and other stores in Precinct 2 to do the same. "I am excited, because I know a lot of people that buy beer. So, we're going to get a lot of the usual business in the evenings that we don't usually get when they get off work," said Collins. Bret Tibbets shops at Crawdad's and plans to vote yes. "I think it would be a great idea, there's no reason that they shouldn't be able to," said Tibbets. "You go across the street, they can buy alcohol. You go down the road, they can buy alcohol. it's just this one section that can't. It would be better for the economy, better for the stores, generate more revenue for them, and more revenue for precinct 2." Collins hopes it passes. "Because a lot of the usuals, the town people want it. I believe it will. You have your some that don't want it to pass, the older people, but I think it will," said Collins. If it does, she knows just where to put the beer. "Probably in the back," said Collins, pointing to the back of the drink cooler. "It would probably take at least four doors." Proposition one on the ballot in Orange County Precinct 2 is not to be confused with the state-wide proposition one, which is related to state highway funds.

This year, the fair expanded to two weekends. The bean bag arched high in a rainbow trajectory and glanced off the front of a can, bouncing it backward. David raised his hand in triumph as father Philip Harbaugh and sister Katie, 8, watched. The Harbaughs were among hundreds of people at the 21st annual Hillsborough County Fair early Sunday afternoon. The Harbaugh children, each of whom won a stuffed toy, seemed to enjoy themselves. We were on our way to church, and it was such a beautiful morning, so I figured, Why not go to the fair?, Philip Harbaugh said. I didnt tell them we were coming, I just surprised them with it. They were pretty happy. The first weekend of the fair began Thursday and ended Sunday. It resumes Thursday, when gates open at 5 p.m., and ends Sunday. The Harbaughs traveled about 20 minutes from Riverview to attend the fair for the first time. Well probably come back again, Philip Harbaugh said. I like that there arent many people. On a day when temperatures reached the mid-80s, the aroma of fried food was carried across the fairgrounds on a light breeze. Cindy Lister of Seffner was another first-timer at the fair Sunday. She relaxed in the shade of a merry-go-round with 18-month-old grandson, Dimetri, who was in a stroller. Listers husband, Paul Calendine, was in another part of the fairgrounds with granddaughter, Kennedi, 5. For the longest time, I didnt even know this was out here, Lister said. We got here at noon today and well probably stay a couple of hours. Its nice, well definitely come again next year. Around the fairgrounds, vendors peddled hats, hoodies and T-shirts. Kelly Morris, owner of The Simple Life Outfitters, cheerfully greeted people at his space near the midway. Its been a great crowd since Thursday, Morris said. Last night, my wife was here, so I had here watch (the merchandise) while I went and watched the Battle of the Bands. Ive done this fair for quite a few years. Attendance seems like its up this year. A lot of its probably because of the (lowering) gas prices. Inside the fairs new, 20,000-square-foot building, Maryhelen Zopfi, a master gardener volunteer with the Hillsborough Extension Service, encouraged fairgoers to vote in the Extension Services recycled art contest. Recycled works included butterflies made of saw blades, horse heads made from auto parts, penguins made of water bottles and a flying monkey built with various metals. Its a great improvement, Zopfi said of the new building. We were in little tents or trailers before. Relaxing in the shade of a cotton candy vendor were perhaps the visitors who traveled farthest. Hershel and Sue Rakes, of Logan, Utah, 85 miles northeast of Salt Lake City, said they were visiting family in Seffner, where they said another grand baby was expected. We wanted the flavor of a country fair, Sue Rakes said, adding that she was impressed with the Hillsborough fair. The couple said they enjoyed cheese steaks and would probably be at the fair a few hours. It appears to be so well-managed, Sue Rakes said. The rest rooms were clean and all of the animals seem well cared-for. Located east of Brandon, the fair is at 215 Sydney Washer Road, just north of State Road 60. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for kindergarten through 12th-grade students and $4 for adults 60 and over. Parking is free. Information can be found at hillsboroughcountyfair.com. gfox@tampatrib.com
