Mike Terrell: Highlands still a classic
With the even pitch of the slopes, wooded terrain and lack of housing and lodging at the bottom of North Peak, you feel like you are on the backside of Keystone's powdery Colorado slopes. You're just missing a couple thousand feet of vertical. On snowy days it's the last place they groom and the last to get skied off, according to knowledgeable lift attendants. The classic Bavarian-themed main lodge and hotel with its ivy covered walls completes the picture as you first pull into the parking lot and look up at the Highlands; an appropriate name for a timeless resort. New this year at the resort is the Highland's Aonach Mor Moonlight Dinner, which is a great way to top off a day on the slopes. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. when you are transported by sleigh from the Slopeside Lounge to North Peak's beautiful day lodge with wall-to-wall windows and soaring pine ceilings.
Nuclear Power Gets Boost from Candidates
Yet both say that new nuclear power cannot be ruled out. At a South Carolina rally, Clinton said: "I think nuclear power has to be part of our energy solution. . . . I don't have any preconceived opposition; I just want to be sure that we do it right, as carefully as we can." Obama, whose home state has 11 nuclear power plants, the biggest concentration in the country, said while campaigning in New Hampshire: "I don't think we can take nuclear power off the table." If the nation can resolve the waste and safety issues, he said, "then we should pursue it, and if we can't, we should not." The three top Democratic candidates all oppose creating a repository for nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas in the early-caucus state of Nevada.
Only talent influx will help Toronto FC
Every Major League Soccer club's cauldron is beginning to bubble as the warm-up to the new season begins. But I can bet you there is no pot quite so hot as Toronto FC's. Here's a club that got off to a scalding start to its inaugural MLS season. A new stadium that sold out every time the team played instantly establishing it as a Toronto landmark. Trouble was, it couldn't do a thing on the field. Coach Mo Johnston couldn't conjour a single goal out of the team he had built until 558 minutes into the season. And it had another stretch of 824 goalless minutes, an MLS record. .
