Best Of :: Food & Drink
Initially, we visited Dino's because we'd heard that the lasagna is superb, but we ended up eating half of our dining companion's gyro, because it — like the lasagna at this off-the-beaten-path diner — was so tasty. Order the Gyro Plate, which comes with sides of fingerling potatoes, rice pilaf, and fresh vegetables to accompany a mountain of gyro meat stacked on a huge pita with plenty of tzatziki sauce, made in Dino's kitchen. If the measure of a truly good gyro is its meat, then Dino wins by a mile with a mix of thin-shaved beef and lamb that can be matched with any number of grilled sides and spices. Opa!
This is the little restaurant that could.Amid a sour economy — and even in the middle of the summer slowdown — this is the place that had locals buzzing on Twitter, Facebook, and good old-fashioned word of mouth in 2010.The excitement started with a trifecta: rustic, comforting American eats by chef-owner Charleen Badman; cozy, bustling atmosphere; and rock star treatment for regulars and newbies alike, courtesy of co-owners Pavle Milic and his wife Emily Pullen. Soon, the Stetson Drive gin joint became the Valley's go-to place for top-notch Arizona wines (still a rarity — but not for long, we predict, thanks to Milic's pioneering efforts) and affordable late-night eats as well. Comforting dishes like braised leeks with mozzarella and fried egg, and perfectly crispy jidori chicken have come and gone with the seasons, but Badman has only continued to delight us with new dishes along the way. Cheers to a new classic in the middle of Old Town.
It's hard to imagine that the area near this stretch of East Phoenix used to be the country's biggest cattle feedlot, but a visit to The Stockyards — situated in what was once the Tovrea Land and Cattle Company's administrative offices — can take you back in time to an era when ranching was still a big part of the local culture, and the city's movers and shakers did business over hefty steaks and stiff cocktails. Meat and potatoes is still the name of the game here, with exotica like elk and demurely named "calf fries" supplementing steaks, burgers, salads, and seafood dishes. Settle into a big booth, ogle the cowboy-themed paintings and branding iron chandelier, and enjoy a reminder of when the West was still Western.
Sometimes, you just need a little steak. Other times, you just need a lot of steak. When heaps of beef are what you're after — and you've got the cash — there's no better meal than Durant's 48-ounce porterhouse. Plain on the outside, fancy-pants on the inside, Durant's is a Phoenix institution that's hosted powerful politicos, celebrities, and mobsters alike. Nestled menacingly amidst the sparse yet solid menu of savory steaks and classic cocktails, this massive meal waits to take on all challengers. A slab of meat that would be appropriate to serve your pet velociraptor, this steak's part filet mignon, part New York strip, and all delicious. Order the steak however you want — from blue to well done — and the kitchen magicians will cook it to perfection. That's no small task with a cut that's a good three inches thick. Finish it and you'll be inducted into the illustrious Porterhouse Club, your name engraved on a brass plate affixed to one of several polished wooden plaques that adorn the restaurant's walls. The storied restaurant began offering the 48-ounce Porterhouse Challenge in 1996 and has since racked up a pantheon of more than 1,200 victorious eaters. At $83.25, the 48-ounce Porterhouse isn't for the faint-hearted. But if you've got the money — and the stomach — Durant's won't disappoint.
San Felipe's Cantina is known for many things: decent guacamole, dangerously cheap shots of liquor and draft beer, obnoxious clientele. What it should be known for, however, is the El Gordito Burrito. Also known as "the Fat One," the El Gordito is a big-ass taco de harina made with chicken or steak, rice, beans, and cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla the size of a manhole cover and covered with spicy sauce and melted cheese. If you eat it all in one sitting, San Felipe's will throw you a party and give you a T-shirt — size XXL, of course.Tipping the scales at close to seven pounds, this burrito's a scary bastard. But at only $19.95, you can't afford not to buy it — that's less than $3 per pound! Whether you attempt to eat it all at once or take it home and feed yourself for a week, there's no place around where you're going to find a burrito that gives you more bang for your buck.
When Matt and Courtney Diamond opened their bangin' little "ale house" in a Seventh Street bungalow, it wasn't enough to have a great list of regional craft beers and quaffable, affordable wines. They came up with some scrumptious eats, too, the most beer-friendly of them all being the Coronado Coney, named after the historic district where the restaurant is situated. This is one top dog, a plump, juicy all-beef frank from Schreiner's Sausage, a local institution right up the street. It's tucked into a soft, dense sourdough bun that's lightly toasted, slathered with Humboldt Brown Ale mustard, and sprinkled with red onion. Which really makes the dish — the wiener or the bun? Who knows. It's a good conundrum to ponder over another pint of IPA.

If McDonald's Doubled Wages, Big Macs Would Rise ... 68 Cents
(NEWSER) – Fast-food workers want to make a "living wage" of $15 an hour. Chains say they'd have to jack up prices if that ever happened. But just how high? Turns out, not as high as you might think, at least according to a University of Kansas researcher. He found that if McDonald's immediately doubled the wages of all its workers (including the $9 million CEO), it would have to raise the price of a Big Mac 68 cents, from $3.99 to $4.67, reports the Huffington Post. Items on the Dollar Menu technically wouldn't qualify anymore, but that hike is relatively modest as well, to $1.17.

Police Confirm Marathon Bombing Suspects Not Suspected In Robbery
(Boston, MA) -- Police are confirming the men accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings are not suspected in the robbery of a 7-Eleven in Cambridge. Earlier, a spokeswoman for the company told Canadian current affairs magazine "Maclean's" there was a robbery, but the suspect in that case doesn't resemble either Tamerlan or Dzhokhar Tsarnaev [[ Joh-har Zar-nay-ahv ]]. Police continue to search for Dzhokhar after Tamerlan's death overnight. A stay-indoors order for the Boston suburb of Watertown has been lifted after police scoured the area for several hours for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who's still on the loose.

Remembering George Jones' birthday
Listen to George Jones on iHeartRadio
On this date back in 1931, country legend George Jones began his long and colorful life in Saratoga, Texas.
The man who was also known as "The Possum," "The Rolls Royce of Country Singers," and "No Show Jones" launched his career as a teenager, earned his first record deal in the early 1950s, and hit the fast track to fame with his 1955 breakthrough single "Why Baby Why."
His growing success in the music business seemed to facilitate an increasingly reckless lifestyle - including multiple marriages and the infamous lawn mower incident - that was fueled by alcohol and drugs.
But Jones eventually owned up to his storied past and changed his ways, living the last years of his life in sobriety. And when the Country Music Hall of Famer died this past April at the age of 81, he left an incredible musical legacy, including such classics as "White Lightning," "Walk Through This World With Me," "The Race Is On," "Tender Years." and his signature hit, the Grammy-winning "He Stopped Loving Her Today" (which Alan Jackson performed at his funeral), that continues to inspire country artists and other stars to this day.

Kim Kardashian is glad Kanye went after photog
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Kim Kardashian is telling friends she thinks Kanye West was spot on when he lunged and swore at a paparazzo in Bev Hills.
Kim - who is always impervious to the gaggle of photogs who chronicle her every move -- thinks Kanye was justified when he bolted out of a restaurant and went all Incredible Hulk on an unsuspecting camera guy, TMZ reports.
Kanye had a close encounter with a metal sign as he walked to 9021PHO, slamming his forehead UFC style with a souvenir that will probably last for a week.
According to TMZ, Kim is telling friends that the paparazzi have become increasingly aggressive with both of them since she became pregnant. She's especially upset because on Monday a photog chased her down while she was driving and she had to swerve into another lane to avoid him and almost got into a bad accident.
Bottom line, Kim is encouraging Kanye to take care of business when a photog crosses the line. The problem with her theory - in the case of the sign, the photogs held their distance and Kanye just didn't look where he was going.

One Year After Sandy New York's Oldest Bar Struggles To Stays Afloat
Hurricane Sandy was hours from striking lower Manhattan when a motorist parking outside the Bridge Café asked the proprietor if his car would be safe there.
The proprietor, Adam Weprin, answered with the confidence of someone who owns the oldest drinking establishment in New York, its three story wood structure unscathed by all of nature's buffeting over 218 years.
"Come on, the building's been fine since 1794, what's going to happen?" Weprin said.
Anyway, this spot on Water Street where the café stood was on a marked incline more than two blocks from the water below. And 48-year-old Weprin was giving himself further reason not to worry by adding more sandbags to those he had begun placing outside the cafe the day before. The guy running a nearby construction site had said he could help himself to as much sand as he needed and he was shouldering a 50 pound bag of it when he was surrounded by what his general manager tallied to be 15 cops.
"Sir, can you put that down?" one of the cops asked by his recollection.
"Is there a problem, officer?" Weprin asked.
The cops thought he might be a looter. They were not completely convinced otherwise even after he explained the arrangement with the construction site and he demonstrated that his key unlocked the cafe's door and he showed them ID and the general manager produced a Bridge Café pay stub.
"They actually wrote our names down in case somebody complains about missing sand," Weprin recalls. "I said, 'If you want me to bring the sand back tomorrow, I'd be happy to.'"
Weprin was in the midst of the final preparations when two customers appeared, saying every other establishment in the area had already shut down.
"We're sandbagging and they said, 'Can we have as quick couple of drinks before the impending doom and gloom?" Weprin recalls. "We said, 'Of course.'"
Weprin had closed the kitchen the night before with a final take out order of buffalo steak - hold the pepper - for his mother. He now kept the bar open for the couple to sip completely appropriate cocktails.
"Old fashioneds," he recalls.
After all, this was the most old fashioned bar in the city, dating back to when George Washington was president. It started as a tough riverfront den and is said to have been the scene of at least two murders, one in 1862 in which a woman named Catherine Curran was forced to drink three decanters of "burning fluid and alcohol" in an hour by her ex-lover and his new paramour. It was one of a row of three bordellos owned by Tom Norton, who was said to have previously been a mate with the Black Ball line of mail carriers, "bloodboats," so named because the management was notoriously brutal in its determination to run on time. The regulars there in 1880 included Joseph Frazer, a deputy U.S. Marshal whom the New York Sun described as also being "a thief and confederate of thieves."
In 1922, it was purchased by the McCormack family, who kept it running through prohibition by discreetly dispensing illicit beer from Brooklyn. The real life Detective Eddie Egan of "The French Connection" fame found the hideaway McComrakc's bar and grill tucked in beside the Brooklyn Bridge to be a perfect place to take his snitches in the Sixties and that earned the establishment's exterior a cameo in the 1971 movie. The McCormack family put the place up for sale eight years later.
As Adam Weprin recalls, his father, real estate lawyer Jack Weprin, only came across the ad because it was mistakenly listed as "waterfront property." Jack Weprin found himself buying it without yet knowing its history.
"On a bizarre whim," Adam Weprin says.
The establishment's charms were obscured by some modern additions that were hardly improvements.
"You had to see though the fluorescent lights and the beer ad," Adam Weprin recalls.
The lights were replaced, but a good many of the old customers continued to frequent what was renamed the Bridge Café. They included various newspaper types as well as a pair of numbers guys named Sonny and Johnny and a fishmonger from the nearby Fulton Fish market named Anthony, who by special arrangement with the Weprins would come in the early morning when just the kitchen crew was there. He would afterwards leave four empty beer bottles, two dollar under three of them, the fourth a self-awarded buyback.
"We could also tell Anthony had been there because of the fish smell," Adam Weprin says. "There would be fish scales under his seat."
Among the new regulars was Ed Koch, who would come in for lunch at least twice a week at precisely 12:15 pm, during as well as after his time as mayor. The café acquired further renown by retaining, Leslie Revsin, one of the first great American chef's of either gender and all the more rare at the time for being a woman.
In 1996, Jack Weprin suffered a fatal heart attack. A fully accurate obituary would have described him as a lover of his family, his work and the place he had bought on a bizarre whim and made an historic haven. The Bridge Café had been somewhere near his work at City Hall and the courts for him to go between meetings and a place to take clients after a deal, a place where his life was a part of the city's life, past and present.
Adam Weprin loved the café all the more because it had been so dear to his father and his devotion kept it flourishing. He felt sure that this establishment that was so vibrant after 218 years was in no serious danger as the last pre-hurricane customers finished their old fashioneds and he locked up. There were two feet of sandbags in front of every door, seemingly an abundance of caution on a corner where the water had never reached in all its storied history.
.As the storm hit that evening, the wind and rain did not seem as extreme as Weprin might have expected. Somebody who lives near the café then called him to say the water had risen over the sea wall.

Stunning video lets you pretend you are riding in an F-16
(Liz Klimas) We've seen the perspective of F-15 fighter pilots barreling at dizzying speeds through the air and what it looks like to take off — and land — on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean in an F/A-18. Now we're getting a peek into what it's like to fly an F-16 along with the U.S. Air Force's 36th Fighter Squadron Flying Fiends.
The aircraft dubbed "Viper" by many pilots is actually formally nicknamed the Flying Falcon. It took on Viper because of its looks. F-16.net recounted Lt. Col. Pat "Gums" McAdoo thoughts on how it got this more unofficial nickname:
At end of runway, the F-16 did resemble a cobra or something as it approached you. However, I think Northrop had already taken that name for the YF-17.
We all voted, and Viper came in really high. Seems there was a series on TV that had 'colonial Vipers' flying off of Battlestar Galactica (a term later used for the Eagle).
In any case, the Generals didn't want a plane 'named after some snake'!
Falcon was a good name, and it fit in with the motif that the Eagle had created. Sort of a little brother, but still a 'Bird of Prey'. In fact, GD had a great promo out in late 70′s called "Bird of Prey", and it used the Falcon as the real world model.

Anti-Obamacare group entices students with models and a boozy party
In September, a conservative group called Generation Opportunity launched an anti-Obamacare ad campaign urging young people not to sign up for the health insurance exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act.
The ads featured a clown-like character called Creepy Uncle Sam who performs horrifying pelvic and prostate exams on college students who enrolled in the exchanges. (His services did not appear appreciated.)
You see, in order for the health care law to function, lots of healthy, young people must sign up for the exchanges to subsidize older, sicker insurance seekers. So conservative groups are spending a lot of money to convince them not to sign up.
On Saturday, Generation Opportunity, a group in part funded by billionaire activists Charles and David Koch, threw a tailgate party with College Republicans at the University of Miami to advocate against signing up for the insurance plans.
They set up games of cornhole and beer pong. (Generation Opportunity says they did not provide the booze.)
University of Miami's own DJ Joey spun tunes to draw people in.
The group hired models with bull horns who walked around with anti-Obamacare petitions. Organizers said "hundreds" of students signed a pledge not to enroll in health insurance exchanges.

James Gandolfini's Will revealed
(Yahoo!) - James Gandolfini made sure his loved ones were provided for.
The "Sopranos" star, who died suddenly last month after suffering a heart attack during a trip to Italy, left millions of dollars to his family, friends, and even employees, according to his will, which was filed in Manhattan Surrogate's Court on Tuesday and obtained by the New York Post. In the legal papers dated December 19, the New Jersey native, who was 51, left the majority of his estimated $70 million estate to his 13-year-old son, Michael, who had been traveling with him when he died, and 8-month-old daughter, Liliana.
His "beloved" son Michael, who found him in the bathroom of their Rome hotel room and called for help, will receive a trust at the age of 21. He will also be the recipient of all of his father's "clothing and jewelry," which we know contains an extensive collection of wristwatches as the face of Kobold Watches, that he will be able to "distribute in his sole determination."
As far as real estate, the ninth grader will get the option to buy his father's Manhattan condo. The West Village apartment comes with a parking spot ("Parking Spot Number 9"), which is referenced several times in the papers. And Michael will also split his father's Italian property, which includes a house and land, with his half-sister when the infant turns 25.
"It is my hope and desire that they will continue to own said property and keep it in our family for as long as possible," Gandolfini noted.

Enough Already on HealthCare.gov. Don't You Remember Medicare Part D?
OK. I've officially had enough of this Republican gloating about HealthCare.gov. Yes, it was a major and inexcusable fiasco, as I wrote last week. So they were entitled to a week of "we told ya so." Or even two. But really, it's practically a month now. Enough already. I know that we expect no decency from these people, so this will sound naïve, but truly, what they should be doing now is helping their constituents figure it all out. That's what the Democrats did in a similar situation.
I refer, of course, to the Medicare Part D implementation in late 2005 and early 2006. That was the big prescription drug bill passed in 2003. You remember—it's the one where the Republicans didn't have the votes in the House, even though they controlled the House, and Speaker Tom DeLay held the floor open for 15 minutes after the bell rang as his lieutenants went around and badgered and threatened some GOP members until they changed their vote from nay to aye. My, how at home DeLay would have been with the Tea Partiers.
Anyhow. Most Democrats voted against the bill. In the House just 16 of 203 Democratic members voted yes. In the Senate, however, 11 of 48 Democrats voted for the new Bush entitlement. First, let's just stop right there. Could you imagine 16 and 11 Republicans ever voting for an Obama legislative priority, something that was clearly Obama's "baby" in the same way that the Part D bill was Bush's? There'd be no end to the slobbering over Republicans for being so reasonable. As I recall, the Democrats were attacked at the time for not supporting the bill enough.
So they didn't. And then, two years later, the rollout came. It was a mess. In mid-October 2005, the Bush administration announced a delay. Reason? It was Yom Kippur, and evidently no one wanted to offend elderly Jews who wouldn't be using their computers. Right. So it was delayed. But a month later, as Jon Perr noted recently at Crooks & Liars, the planned comparison-shopping website still wasn't up and running. Even after it finally was, it was confusing and a mess. Some sample headlines: "Web-based Comparison of Prescription Plans Delayed," The Washington Post; "Glitches Mar Launch of Medicare Drug Plan," The Wall Street Journal; "President Tells Insurers to Aid Ailing Medicare Drug Plan," The New York Times.
Needless to say, some of the same people now trying to put the hex on Obamacare spent 2006 pooh-poohing—you guessed it—"glitches," as Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) put it back then. I'm sure they'd say they're different things, and it's true the Affordable Care Act is a bigger undertaking. But they're precisely similar in spirit—big, new government programs that depended largely on citizen interaction via personal computer. And the ACA fixes what was the biggest problem created by Part D, the so-called doughnut hole in prescription drug coverage. So the Obama bill corrects what was conspicuously awful about the Bush bill. Yes, they are different!

Rand Paul's Extreme GOP Makeover
When Rand Paul spoke to a packed ballroom of conservative activists at CPAC last year, he tagged the Obama administration as "completely out of control." But he saved some of his harshest criticism for his own party, calling the GOP of old "stale and moss covered," and insisting that the Republican Party has to change.
One year later, Paul is again speaking to CPAC, but this time he's more than the "Stand with Rand" senator who had just filibustered an Obama nominee for 13 hours to protest drone policy. He is now the de facto head of the libertarian wing of the party, still pushing the GOP to broaden its message and its membership, and serious enough about running for president that his allies are working to change the Kentucky law that would bar him from running for president and his Senate seat simultaneously in 2016.
If things go Rand Paul's way, national Republicans will follow the lead of Nathan Haney, the executive director of the Jefferson County, Kentucky Republican Party, who held an event last week for the local GOP to meet minority and low-income voters in Louisville, a city that has not had a Republican mayor in more than 50 years.
"We're tired of losing," says Haney. Although Republicans dominate the federal offices in Kentucky, Democrats have held one or both houses of the state legislature for nearly a century, while just two Republicans have occupied the governor's mansion since 1947. "At some point you have to look in the mirror and say what is it that we're doing wrong?"
That bit of soul searching, rare for Republicans at the national level, has come to Jefferson County though the example of the state's junior senator, Paul. "What we have found in the time that he's been a senator is that Senator Paul has made it his goal to grow the party, nationwide and at the local level," Haney said, pointing to Paul's trips to inner-city Detroit, as well as historically black colleges across the country and poverty-ridden areas of Kentucky where Republicans rarely make inroads.
But beyond his itineraries, Paul has also used his three years of votes and visibility in the U.S. Senate, including a 13-hour filibuster, to blow up the checklist of exactly what it means to be a conservative Republican.
While Paul has been aggressively pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and almost rabidly small government, he has also staked out positions on privacy, intervention overseas, and mandatory drug sentencing that defy both his party's current instincts and its leaders in Washington.

text: (Washington, DC) -- More than 250 suspected child predators face criminal charges after being rounded up in a federal investigation. Operation iGuardian was a month long sting aimed at identifying and rescuing victims of online sexual exploitation while putting those responsible behind bars. Suspects face a wide array of charges. Crimes range from chatting sexually online with minors to production of child pornography. The investigation was led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and Internet Crimes Against Children task forces.

NFL playoff schedule and picture: Ryan Succop saves Chargers, dooms Steelers
AFC first-round byes: (1) Broncos (Sun 12, 4:40 ET; CBS), (2) Patriots (Sat 11, 8:15 ET; CBS)
AFC wild card: (6) Chargers at (3) Bengals (Sun, 1:05 ET; CBS); (5) Chiefs at (4) Colts (Sat, 4:35 ET; NBC)
NFC first-round byes: (1) Seahawks (Sat 11, 4:35 ET Fox), (2) Panthers (Sun 12, 1:05 ET; Fox)
NFC wild card: (6) Saints at (3) Eagles (Sat, 8:10 ET; NBC); (5) 49ers at (4) Packers (Sun, 4:40 ET; Fox)
Here's the final playoff picture. Ryan Succop's missed field-goal attempt for the Chiefs at the end of regulation gave the Chargers new life, and San Diego then eliminated Pittsburgh with an overtime win (a tie would have been enough).
The Steelers had won twice and got two Dolphins losses and two Ravens losses and a Jets win against the Browns just to escape elimination in the last two weeks, but Pittsburgh didn't get the one Chargers loss it also needed. A Succop field goal would have sent Pittsburgh to Cincinnati next week.
The Chargers got the Ravens loss at the Bengals and the Dolphins loss to the Jets they needed earlier in the day. A win by the Ravens or Dolphins (coupled with a loss by the other) would have sent either team to the playoffs and ended San Diego's hopes.
The Broncos held off the Patriots for the top seed, and New England edged the Bengals for a first-round bye.
In the NFC, the Panthers became the first division champion earlier in the day, and the Packers andSeahawks followed later. The Packers won a winner-take-all showdown at the Bears. The Eagles beat the Cowboys in their winner-take-all game and will welcome the Saints to open the playoffs on Saturday.
The Saints clinched a playoff berth with a win against the Buccaneers and were locked into the No. 6 slot when the 49ers won at the Cardinals, setting up a trip to Green Bay for the 49ers.

Timbaland reveals upcoming Michael Jackson project
Listen to Timbaland on iHeartRadio | Listen to Michael Jackson on iHeartRadio
Timbaland is bringing the "King of Pop" back to life on record with his next project.
In an interview with Sean "Diddy" Combs' newly-launched Revolt TV, the hit-making producer revealed that his next project will find him teaming up with the late Michael Jackson.
Timbaland explains that he got involved with the project after Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid came to his house to tell him he wanted to do "something big."
While few details are known about the project, Timbaland did say the first single will be a song called "Chicago." He adds that he's going to "set it up right."
This Thursday, August 29th will mark what would have been Michael Jackson's 55th birthday.

Republicans go from anti-gay to no way on Arizona bill
With all but three Republicans in the Arizona legislature voting for a bill characterized as anti-gay, and with every Democrat in opposition, the early betting was that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer would sign SB 1062. A Tea Party favorite, she had signed tough anti-immigrant legislation and once famously wagged her finger in President Obama's face during an airport tarmac encounter. The image went viral.
Brewer is not someone to be trifled with. But when it comes to anti-gay legislation, which is tantamount these days to anti-business legislation, her allies on the right went too far with SB 1062. The bill expands Arizona's Religious Freedom Restoration Act for individuals to include associations, businesses and churches in refusing to serve people whose life choices they find morally objectionable.
The bill passed Thursday, and by 8 a.m. Friday morning, Barry Broome, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council had e-mailed and hand-delivered a letter to Brewer warning her of costly litigation if the bill becomes law, including the loss of jobs and a potential threat to next year's Super Bowl, set for Feb. 1 in Arizona. "It's a little bit like our Olympics," Broome says. "We want people to come and see how beautiful the state is. We didn't want it to become an easy target for protests."
Broome recalled how painful it was to see the state characterized as anti-immigrant after Brewer signed a new immigration law in 2010. "We didn't want a repeat performance of that," he says, which is why he got out fast with the business community's position. "This is a diverse and vibrant community. We're the fifth largest LGBT community in the U.S., and there's just no place for discriminatory attitudes," he tells The Daily Beast. "The bill creates a lot of problems for us, plus it's morally wrong."
Brewer forged a close alliance with the state's business community during her fight last year to get the Republican-dominated legislature to approve Medicaid expansion. It was an unorthodox position for a Republican governor, and with the help of business and hospital interests, Brewer prevailed. She argued it was a matter of math, not ideology, and by accepting Medicaid funds, more Arizonans could get health coverage. As the head of the most powerful business group in the state, Broome's support is designed "to help the governor find a path to veto this bill" by providing political cover.
Broome's comments were quickly followed by a tweet Friday from Arizona Senator Jeff Flake urging Brewer to veto SB 1062. Senator John McCain chimed in Monday with an identical tweet. The major contenders in Arizona's upcoming gubernatorial election said they opposed the bill, and by noon Monday in Arizona, three of the lawmakers who supported the legislation said they regretted their votes.

The children in the family followed her and the rest of the kittens were found in a hole in the ground. Miss Berry was a great mom and greeted me whenever I came into her room.

Nasdaq Forced To Shut Down Trading For A Few Hours
UPDATE: The Nasdaq is back in action. The index was shut down for more than two hours today. Officials say the closure was the result of a computer glitch. The market didn't cancel any orders, but did leave it up to customers as to whether they wanted to take business elsewhere. Another glitch in the system led to a ten-million-dollar fine for fumbling the Facebook initial public offering last year. The Nasdaq is showing no big swings in trading.
Original Story:
(New York, NY) -- The Nasdaq is currently shut down in late day trading on Wall Street. The problem is blamed on a computer glitch. The market has been closed for nearly 90 minutes. Nasdaq isn't canceling orders currently in play, but says customers are free to do so. The market recently paid out ten-million-dollars for a glitch in its systems which fumbled the Facebook initial public offering.

PHOTOS: Beyonce, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus attend 2013 Met Gala
The steps of the Met have been graced again with the trains of some beautiful gowns. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute gala took place on Monday night, bringing together some of the most fashion-forward women around. Among them were pop stars Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, who decided to draw inspiration from the night's theme "Punk: Chaos to Couture."
Miley was dressed in a long-sleeved Marc Jacobs gown made of black fish net, her hair styled in spikes and her lips bright red.
The Queen of Pop Madonna was also on hand, hitting the red carpet in a daring spiked blazer and thigh-high tights.
Beyonce, who was an honorary chair for the event this year, took a break from her "Mrs. Carter Show" in Europe to attend. She wore a glamorous black strapless Givenchy, emblazoned with a golden border and paired with matching boots.
Taylor Swift brought out her inner fashionista, looking all grown up in a black J. Mendel sculpted gown, according to "The Huffington Post."
Kylie Minogue showed up in a black-and-white contrast strapless dress from Moschino, while Bey's little sister Solange showed off her 'fro in a black-and-blue printed number.

INTERVIEW: Armin van Buuren at TomorrowWorld
Listen to Armin van Buuren on iHeartRadio
It's no wonder why Armin van Buuren was the DJ to close out the very first TomorrowWorld. A producer/DJ who has released countless tracks, several albums, and has played at every dance music festival and club you can imagine, he is one of the most well-established artists in the industry, not to mention he was voted #1 DJ in the world five times.
Armin has had a busy 2013 having released his latest artist album Intense, a new mix compilation Universal Religion, Chapter 7, traveled the world on his ASOT 600 tour, is getting ready to launch his ASOT 650 tour, and is also preparing for an Armin Only world tour, all while broadcasting his infamous A State of Trance radio show every week. And that's not all - Armin has a lot more up his sleeve for this year and beyond.
We caught up with Armin right before his set at TomorrowWorld, where he talked about his latest album Intense, his upcoming ASOT 650 and Armin Only world tours, the story behind his "Beautiful Life" video, and more. Find out what he had to say:
The last time we talked to you was right before you released Intense. And now that it's out, how do you feel about it?
Well it's my most successful album so far. I just got a platinum record for it. The first single did extremely well, double platinum in Canada, platinum in Australia, platinum in the Netherlands, gold in Italy. I think it's silver now in the U.K., it's in the Billboard Hot 100. It's doing better than I would have expected in my wildest dreams.
"This Is What It Feels Like" has been getting tons of radio play, and now you've released "Beautiful Life." Do you know what the next one is going to be?
It depends. I usually take those decisions together with the label partner, like Positiva for example in the U.K. They're releasing the album as well, so they have a say in what the next single will be, depending on the reactions or what track sells best individually. Personally, I really like "Alone." I think that's one of my favorite tracks as well, "Sound of the Drums." Or maybe an instrumental track, "Intense" or "Pulsar." Everybody seems to have a different favorite of the album which is so cool. (laughs)
You recently released the "Beautiful Life" video. Do you have any creative say in the video?
Oh absolutely, yeah. The idea behind the video was my own, and I wrote it together with Elliott Sellers, who is an amazing director, and also worked with Emma Hewitt on some of her videos. I think he's an amazingly talented video artist, and the video has a really special vibe that only he can create. It's really about those rare moments that beauty happens. You know, the feeling of happiness usually comes from having a cup of coffee at Starbuck's and the sun coming out. You know, little things like that make life special. So that, for me was what "Beautiful Life" was about. So, you know, everybody walks outside, looks at the sky, and the sky sort of turns into this beautiful, mash of colors and everything. So, yeah, I think he really translated my feeling in his own way very well.
Now, you're getting ready for ASOT 650. Have you chosen all the dates and cities?
Yes. Well, the decision is not entirely up to me. I depend on local promoters, venue availability, you know. I'm also doing an Armin Only tour, so that clashes a little bit with ASOT 650. Because, I have the big show and I want to do a lot of dates. So what I'm going to do is October 3rd, I'm going to announce the ASOT 650 dates, [and] October 17th is another big date. That's when I'm going to announce the Armin Only world tour for next year. And that's going to go after every continent as well. So if people are going to miss me on the ASOT 650 New Horizons, they can come and see me at the Armin Only show. And I think a lot of countries deserve to have the New Horizons tour, because I've never been there, for example, or we chose new cities. I really want to reach new audiences with the New Horizons tour. That's the idea.
*And true to his word, Armin announced the cities for the ASOT 650 tour. Check them out!
Many of your fans have been campaigning for you to come to their city. What's the most interesting campaign you've seen?
Oh, I think Toronto, people were at the airport giving me t-shirts.
I mean it's ridiculous what people do to make sure the event comes to their country. And it's great, but, you know you're going to disappoint more people than you're going to please. So, it's kind of a hard decision. But we're going to make it the best for everybody because all the events will be broadcasted live and for free for everybody to watch it, you know, to listen. So, I think that makes up for everything. If I'm not coming to your city, then you can still experience the whole event.
Have you got started to think about the anthem?
Yes. It sort of became a tradition in that I'm doing the anthem one year and then the other year we're doing sort of a competition. So, since I did it last year, for 650, I asked the listeners to send in their tracks. It's funny you should say that, because I was just in my hotel room listening to a lot of the entries. We got so many tracks submitted as the anthem, and [there's] some really good stuff there. Really, really good stuff. I can't say too much, but this week on the latest A State of Trance I'm gong to announce the candidates for the anthem. And it's going to be a tough choice. Very tough choice.
*And the winner is...
You also launched you're Who's Afraid of 138? label, how's that going?
Really well. Actually, the first two singles hit Beatport top 10. And it's not meant to be a commercial label in the sense of high chart entries or something. It's meant to cater to the people that really like that sound. Including me! (laughs) So, yeah, I mean, I really love the uplifting stuff. And I feel there's a new wave of people coming for it, and that want to hear something different than the stuff that usually gets played on the main stage. So, yeah, that's the sound that I love and that I want to show the people, "hey I'm still here!" (laughs) You know? I still, I'm still true to my roots.
Tonight, you're performing on the main stage, closing it out. Are you excited?
Yeah, very, very. I'm closing out the whole event! That's a pretty big thing, yeah.
How do you think this will compare to Tomorrowland, being that this is the first time TomorrowWorld is in the U.S.?
Well, I did check with my wife, she's not pregnant anymore. So there's no surprises like that tonight! But since they have the same stage as last year at Tomorrowland, that's going to be pretty spectacular. I mean for people that don't know what it is, what we're talking about here, it's not just a festival, it's not just a concert, or having a night out. It's really an experience. It's one of those things that you have to do before you die, I guess. It's like, I mean what do people do before they die? I mean, go to Ibza, or skydiving. It's, it's one of those things that you have to experience. There's so much love out here, so much positive energy, and you'll find there's so many people from your age, and older, and younger. And we're celebrating life here. It's a big celebration.
Are you working on any new music at all?
Yes. Well I'm still working on a lot of special performance tracks for the Armin Only show that will include a few new singles, as well. I'm actually shooting a new video. And, I just released my new mix compilation called Universal Religion, Chapter 7, which was mixed live in one take, in Ibiza at Privilege - which I'm particularly proud of because, these days it's very common to mix the CD on the computer. But I mixed it live in front of an audience. Which gives some sort of an extra magic I think.

Judge scraps $765M NFL deal on concussions
(NEWSER) – A federal judge today rejected a $765 million settlement between the NFL and players who suffered concussions, but maybe not for the reason one might think: US District Judge Anita Brody scrapped the deal on the grounds that the funds wouldn't be sufficient to cover nearly 20,000 players over the course of some 65 years. She's asking both sides for more financial details; of particular concern are retired players who haven't yet been diagnosed. Under the deal, as per the AP, players with Lou Gehrig's disease would be awarded $5 million; deaths resulting from brain trauma would get $4 million; and dementia cases $3 million.

Vodka is a clear spirit with origins in Eastern Europe, namely Poland and Russia. The term can be loosely translated to mean 'water.' At Wine Chateau, we believe in the importance of staying hydrated, so we offer a selection of thousands of different brands and varieties of both flavored and unflavored vodka you can buy online for less.
Much less regulated than whisky production, vodka can be made from nearly any fermented grain or fruit, the most common being molasses, corn, rye, and wheat. It is often distilled more than once and filtered, but vodka is not put in casks or aged to take on the flavors of the wood the way in which whisky develops its unique profile. Vodka, therefore, is a relatively neutral spirit with a clear color, very little hint of the original ingredients and no real distinguishing characteristics.
While some may say this makes vodka boring, we respectfully disagree and insist they have another drink to loosen up. Eager to love all spirits, we would rather take the perspective that the neutral profile of vodka makes it all the more versatile. It makes the best party guest considering it lends itself so well to mixing with other cocktail ingredients. Vodka is an essential addition to any home bar and is a real crowd-pleaser because of its neutrality, not in spite of it. The spirit is also the foundation for many popular drinks, including Cosmopolitans, Bloody Marys, Martinis, White Russians and many more.
Flavored vodkas are also increasingly popular. Shop Wine Chateau for a wide range of flavors from fruity flavors like raspberry, coconut, orange and pineapple to flavors that sound more like dessert, such as cake, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, espresso and marshmallow. Add a new twist to any of your favorite cocktails with flavored vodka from Wine Chateau. Our search options make it easy for you to find something new to try.
With our selection of vodka online, we can make sure you find the right flavor or brand – no matter how obscure – to help you concoct your perfect beverage. Think ahead for the holidays, parties and gifts with a bottle anyone over 21 will enjoy. Purchase vodka online, and have it shipped directly to your home for a shopping experience that's almost as fun as drinking the spirits — we said almost.

Student debt-laden college grads under 40 have $8,700 median net worth
College graduates who are under 40 years of age and who have accumulated student debt have a median net worth of just $8,700, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center.
That meager average net worth compares to a median net worth of $64,700 for college grads in the same age cohort who did not take out student loans, reports the Los Angeles Times.
How much is $8,700 these days? It's not much. That amount of money will buy you a silver four-door 2003 Toyota Avalon XL with just fewer than 93,000 miles, for example.
Indebted twentysomething and thirtysomething Americans are also weighed down by other types of debt resulting from credit-card borrowing and auto loans in addition to their student-loan burden.
The massive debt frequently makes it difficult to save money for mortgage down payments, or obtain mortgage financing or begin to save for retirement.
When all debts are accounted for, the median debt for college graduates under 40 is $137,010, notes the Times. (It's not clear if this amount also includes mortgage debt, which tends to be substantial.)
The total median debt level for college graduates who did not take out student loans is much lower: $73,250.
Median student debt for all Americans is just $13,000.

Boy, 11, attempts suicide over 'My Little Pony' bullying
(NEWSER) – An 11-year-old Raleigh, North Carolina, boy who attempted suicide did so after he was bullied over his affection for the My Little Pony cartoon. Michael Morones is "the kid that never walks. He dances everywhere," his mom tells ABC 11. But on the evening of Jan. 23, overcome with the teasing, "he hung himself off the side of the bunk bed, off the railing," she says. His parents rushed him to the hospital, but because oxygen to his brain was cut off, he may suffer life-long brain damage. Chicago Now reports his brain, heart, and lungs were damaged.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's spring, and a young man's (and woman's) fancy turns to love. OK, maybe or maybe not. But one other fancy Americans could be, and probably should be, turning to is their personal finances -- the engine that makes any long-term relationship more stable and enjoyable.
To get financially whole and organize your money life, we canvassed finance and investment experts to uncover the top priorities when undertaking that spring cleaning: Open a Roth IRA. John-Paul Valdez, a personal finance expert at Pearl.com and a former finance radio talk show host, advises opening a Roth IRA account (or converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA) to set up yourself and your heirs for a sound financial future. "A Roth offers many options later in life -- it will allow you to make after-tax contributions, and your earnings will grow tax free," he says. "You will also be able to make withdrawals tax free, during retirement, for example -- and unlike with traditional IRAs, you will not be required to make annual withdrawals after you turn 70.5 years old." "Essentially, this move will help you pay as little income tax as possible in the future," he says. "And if you plan on leaving money to your heirs, the Roth account will give you many more options on when and how much you take in distributions from the account according to your needs." Realign and "insure" your investment portfolio. Tim Biggam, chief market strategist at MoneyBlock, says a financial spring cleaning should drill down to two aspects: readjusting and rebalancing portfolios after large run-ups in prices; and buying puts as downside protection to your 401(k)s or portfolios.
"Given that the stock market is at all-time highs and the S&P 500 is almost there, this spring is not a bad time to take a look at trimming out of some winners at these levels to readjust allocations," he says. "This has been shown to be a proven strategy for minimizing volatility over the long term, as stocks tend to be mean reverting."

Lamar Odom clashes with photographers
(Yahoo!) - Even multimillionaire basketball-turned-reality-stars have bad days — as Lamar Odom can surely attest. During a heated row with photographers Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Khloé Kardashian snapped, and we're not talking about pictures, people.
According to reports, the notoriously nice guy grew irritated with the paparazzi and asked them, "Put your cameras down and let me talk to you, man to man." To be honest, that doesn't sound like such an unreasonable request to us, but what do we know?
When they continued taking photos instead of doing as he'd asked, Lamar lost his cool. Naturally, this whole incident was caught on tape.
A video on TMZ shows him walking over to one of the photographer's cars, opening the (unlocked) door, retrieving a metal rod … and smashing it into the side of the vehicle. Lamar then moves on to another car, apparently also owned by a pap and also not locked.
Lamar then yanks a pile of camera equipment, including a very expensive-looking camera, from the back and chucks it onto the busy street. Stunned tourists and photographers look on as the star has a sudden change of heart and starts picking everything up from the street and putting it in his own Mercedes instead. Guess he decided to take it home.
He seems to be able to compartmentalize his anger, however, because just moments later when an excited fan requests a photo, he's a total gentleman. He even asks her if he should remove his baseball hat for the shot! (She lets him keep it on — apparently she wanted him to keep that hot head covered.)

Larcher de Brito screams right past Sharapova in major Wimbledon upset
In one of the most shocking — and noisy — upsets in recent memory, Michelle Larcher de Brito knocked off Maria Sharapova on Wednesday in Wimbledon's second round, 6-3, 6-4.
But it was neither the shock of Sharapova's loss nor the athleticism on display that drove the topic of conversation. Instead it was the hyperactive, ultrasonic screaming.
Both players shouted like they were being stabbed on every point. For players, is the grunting fair or foul? Opinions vary, but as a spectator it's painful to watch and takes away from the true skill of the players. Here, just listen to the final points:
As for the upset, Larcher de Brito is ranked 131st in the world. Sharapova was seeded third in the tournament and appeared to have a clear path at least to the finals, but it wasn't to be, as she was outplayed at every turn. Sharapova did slip several times on the Wimbledon grass, receiving treatment on the sidelines, and at one point appeared to indicate to the umpire that the court was "dangerous."

Top Three: Cash Cash
Listen to Cash Cash on iHeartRadio
The guys of Cash Cash have been incredibly busy. Their single "Take Me Home" featuring Bebe Rexha blew up on the radio, they released their "Overtime" EP, and they are constantly on the road bringing their music to their fans. But it doesn't look like the guys are slowing down anytime soon.
Cash Cash tells iHeartRadio they have a busy year ahead of them. "Work on a new single, bring out some new songs. We just got a residency in Vegas so we're gonna be at Marquee once a month for the next year. Just a lot of new music coming out next year."
While they were in New York City, the group stopped by iHeartRadio HQ where they talked about everything from their beginnings to Sonic the Hedgehog to turtle wrangling! They also told us the top three reasons to take them home.
Check out what else the guys had to say and Top Three with Cash Cash below:
How you guys got together – you were in a band first, right?
Samuel: Yeah, we actually all grew up together. Me and JP have known each other since we were in third grade. JP and Alex are brothers. We all grew up in a small town, [and] we basically learned how to play music together. We started out playing in like cover bands, playing Nirvana covers and stuff. Then we got into production, we started producing our own music, writing our own music, recording and then from that – we went into remixing. Then from there we kind of just took off. We started to put out some more original music and got into the dance music world from that.
Where does the name Cash Cash come from?
Long story – when we were playing in local bands growing up you never think to trademark your name. So we were out doing our thing, selling shirts, selling CDs and we're all doing stuff under this name. And then who would've thought then we got a record deal and then they were like "did you guys trademark the name?" And we were like, "What? What is that?" Then we were getting all these legal notices. So we had to change the name and it was this whole ordeal. We were like "what are we gonna name the band?" And I'm like let's just name it Cash Cash, everyone's after all our Cash, we don't even have any. Like we had this agent trying to come after us at the time, we were getting cease and desist letters and all that stuff, and at the time we had a song called "Cash Cash."
What was the first song of yours that you heard on the radio and how did you guys feel to hear it on the radio the first time?
We heard "Take Me Home" which was crazy. It was awesome. It was a crazy feeling we were all just like "oh my god!" It's really one of those moments you're like, "wow!"
You've remixed a lot of big pop stars. If you could pick a pop star today to remix who would you pick?
Probably a Daft Punk song to be honest.
No Beyonce, no Miley Cyrus?
Yeah I mean I'm trying to think a Beyonce song would be dope because her vocals are amazing. Justin Timberlake would be wild. We like people that have really unique voices like you know we did a Kelly Clarkson remix. That was dope because it's just really great like getting her vocals, like really fun to work with. Someone like JT would be awesome cause his vocals are so cool.
You also contributed to Sega and Sonic. How did you guys get into that?
JP: You know we're just big video game fans growing up, and then it was one of those things that just kind of came out of no where. A sudden it was like wait – we got an email from Sega saying they want us to remix this stuff, and we were like "oh man is this real and it said @sega.com." Alex had a heart attack cause he's a real big sonic fan.
Sam: Yeah he already knew how to play like half the songs already on the piano so it was amazing.
JP: That was great it was apart of history it was for the anniversary game.
If you had to choose a song title to describe your group, an existing song or a song title, what song would you pick?
"Overtime" describes us pretty well. We are always working overtime that's for sure. But at the same time I would have to say "Get Lucky" cause we really get lucky all the time. You know in and outside of the workplace. You know what I mean!
Since you guys travel a lot, what do you miss the most about your hometown while you're away?
Sometimes the local food is nice you know. We're Jersey Boys so I definitely have a taste for high quality delis! Greasy meats and Italian food. Greasy meats nobody can pronounce correctly. And we miss a nice home cooked meal, but besides that we love traveling, so.
Do you guys have any hidden talents?
JP is a turtle wrangler. Follow his instagram @JPCashCash. He's got pictures of him diving in the ponds, digging out turtles and stuff.
JP: I ripped out like a 45 pound snapping turtle once@

Obamacare threatens cuts for volunteer firefighters
Obamacare threatens to cut hours and benefits for volunteer firefighters due to its mandate that employers provide health insurance for all employees, including volunteers.
Volunteer firefighters are labeled as employees so they can receive retirement benefits and other incentives. But Obamacare's employer mandate requiring employers to provide health insurance for all employees logging 30 hours or more per week is causing concern at fire departments.
Volunteer firefighters may see their hours or benefits cut, so small fire departments can avoid providing costly insurance or paying fines for failing to insure employees, AP reports. The likelihood that volunteers will work more than 30 hours a week is greater in the winter months, according to the fire chief of Freeport, Maine.

Amid Shutdown Obama, Biden Head Out For Food, On Foot
(Washington, DC) -- President Obama and Vice President Biden are trying to call attention to the furlough of hundreds of thousands of government employees. The two leaders walked out of the White House on foot en route to a nearby sandwich shop which is offering a 10 percent discount to furloughed employees. The President said it's an example of how "ordinary Americans look out for each other" and are not "obsessed with politics."
Obama said the partial shutdown of the federal government could be over quickly if the Republican-led House would pass a clean budget extension.
Meantime, the President said "nobody is winning" as long as so many workers are furloughed. That was a response to an anonymous quote from an administration official in the "Wall Street Journal" that the White House is "winning" the dispute with congressional Republicans.

Pop diva voice impersonator wows the crowd on 'Ellen'
Voice impersonator and comedienne Christina Bianco has been making audiences laugh for a long time, but it wasn't until last month that she became an internet sensation. In August, she uploaded a video of one of her performances to YouTube, and it spread like wildfire. In the clip, she channels different female singers for an impressive (and hilarious) rendition of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart.' To date, the video has been viewed more than 4 million times.
After posting the video on YouTube, Christina Bianco was discovered by none other than Ellen Degeneres, who invited the talented impersonator to appear on her show. Check it out:
