Just seven miles north of Malta, there's a group of young men reaching the stars...almost literally.

Unofficial leaders at the track are Malta's Shane Carnahan and Travis Rhoads and on Saturday afternoon the two jumped on their bikes and proceeded to fly them...

I’ll have to start paying better attention. Sports Illustrated shot some of its latest swimsuit issue in Yellowstone National Park. In a couple of photos model Jessica Gomes perches alluringly at the edge of the Grand Canyon with Lower Falls in the background, and in another she poses topless next to Morning Glory Pool. The pictures were taken last summer, but until I received my magazine in the mail, I had no idea SI shot a portion of its iconic issue in the park. I was in Yellowstone last s...

New wealth is a crop of wheat, baby calves, new grass, freshly mined coals, fresh minerals, newly generated electricity, freshly mined metals, upgraded property, newly developed ideas, new batches of logged timber, children conceived and born, con...

But being Benefis producers a positive bottom line and that levy is in place by law why would they not do what is necessary to collect those funds? Perhaps the value placed by TMC on their...
It finally happened! I finally convinced my 12-year-old daughter, Sophia, to sit down and watch Star Wars. She has always shown interest in the franchise, but I have never been able to get her to watch what I consider one of the greatest trilogies ever filmed. I'm nerdy in that way. I have never been much of a Sci-Fi fan and I can't stomach Star Trek, but ever since I was a young tyke, I have been a fan of George Lucas' original three movies. Now I know that there are actually six movies total s...
