    LOCAL MARKETING AND VISITORS BUREAU PRESIDENT AND CEO RETIRES:

    The city alleges the Newport Beach-based business failed to maintain the buildingat the end of the pier and failed to do major promised renovations.

    John Crandall of the Patch says things are cooking between Seal Beac and famed endof the Pier Restaurant chain -Ruby's. ..."Seal Beach filed a lawsuit against Rubys Diner

    the former operator of the now-shuttered restaurant at the end of the pier accusingthe business of leaving $570,000 worth of maintenance and renovations undone, ac-cording to court records...

    Not surprising, a Rubys Diner spokesman said the eatery worked well with the cityand followed their contracts to the letter.

    Ruby's Diner, originally opened at the end of the pier in 1987,closed this past January... According to the complaint filed bySeal Beachs City Attorney, Rubys agreed to make $400,000

    worth of improvements to the site in its 2002 lease. However, ina section titled The Remodel that Never Happened, City Attor-ney Quinn Barrow alleges the renovations weren't done. (Thatshould be pretty easy to prove either way...we would think...

    He goes on to say that Rubys cost thecity $170,000 worth of work because itfailed to performed the necessary mainte-nance to the facility.

    Not surprisingly...Tad Belshe, Ruby's ex-

    ecutive vice president of operations, dis-agrees.

    'The city has stated that they believe wehave not fulfilled the obligation of the lease, and we believe we have, said Belshe...'We have had our (legal) counsel review the lease and believe we have fulfilled the ob-ligation of the lease, so theres a difference opinion here.'

    'We maintained the building. We did all sorts of different repairs,' Belshe added.'Someone one on the city's side believes the language (of the contract) is stating onething, and our full belief is that it's another."

    Hmm, seems like it's gonna be another Ruby's Sunday every where but Sea Beach.Ordering: I'll have the Double Deluxe Burgers wth two fresh patties, two slices of

    cheese, lettuce, tomato and special sauce..hold the maintenance for now...I'm on a diet..

    Holy Christ: $1 million...F

    armers & Merchants donated $1 million to theDiocese of Orange for the renovation of the for-mer Crystal Cathedral.

    Farmers & Merchants Bank donated $1 milliontoday to the renovation of the Diocese of Orange'sChrist Cathedral.

    The donation was made during the 11th annual Con-ference on Business and Ethics in Irvine.

    The Diocese of Orange acquired the Crystal Cathe-dral mega-church in bankruptcy court in November2011. The diocese is preparing to move into the newlychristened Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, but is

    working to raise $53 million for the renovation, thediocese's Ryan Lilyengren said.

    The bank's donation was part of the For Christ For-ever Capital Campaign, which seeks to raise $100 mil-lion, with the rest going toward Catholic schools, theretirement of priests and other expenses.

    Business leaders Rick J. Muth and Rob Neal re-ceived the Bishop Kevin W. Vann Award for Exem-plary Business Integrity at today's conference. CrystalCathedral founder Rev. Robert H. Schuller and hiswife, Arvella, were also honored with the Farmers &Merchants Bank Lifetime Achievement Award.

    As the World TurnsSo Does the Surfing Industry

    Shop-etat-surf.com breaks a big one herereported..."GLM today announced that itis moving its consumer surfing event from

    the 2013 Vans US Open of Surfing inHuntington Beach in July to the OCFair & Events Center on October5th and 6th.

    The decision reflects strategicbusiness differences with IMGWorldwide, the US Open of Surf-ings owner. IMG is no longer ableto permit GLM to charge admis-sion to the consumer componentof a planned trade-plus-consumerevent co-located with the US Open

    of Surfing under The Boardroombrand.

    GLMs involvement with the USOpen of Surfing had always beenpredicated on our abili ty to filterand control attendance at our ownevent through admissions, saysGLM CEO Charles McCurdy. Ourability to manage consumer access atthe gate ensures that we can regulate, filter andmaximize quality at a venue that last year drewmore than 700,000 participants.

    Adds Scott Bass, Founder and Show Director,

    We made this decision reluctantly, given our re-spect for both Huntington Beach and the USOpen of Surfing. We remain committed to the

    success of the surfing industry and continue tohave the industrys best and most focused eventsfor bringing surfers, shapers, manufacturers,suppliers and retailers face to face. We look for-

    ward to introducing The Boardroom to the EastCoast at Surf Expo in September.

    Every year, IMG tries to bring something dif-ferent to the US Open of Surfing, says

    James Leitz SVP of IMG. For2013, in support of Vans inclusivedirective, we teamed up with GLMto bring in The Boardroom. Thiswas a game changer for our industry.A massive trade show footprint onthe beach with both B2B and B2Ccomponents. Unfortunately, likesome big ideas, things just dontwork out. I am confident that TheBoardroom will continue to be a

    huge success.GLM creates face to face and on-

    line buying, selling and networkingplatforms for designers, product de-velopers, manufacturers, reps, retail-ers and operators through tradeshowand event production, online com-munity development and association

    management. GLM's events includeNY NOW, International Contemporary FurnitureFair, Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibi-tion, National Stationery Show, Surf Expo andSURTEX.

    Marina HS:First Sunset Title in 20 Years

    By Marinas standards, Thursdays Sunset League match at Mead-owlark Golf Club wasnt all that great. The Vikings failed to break180 at their home course for only the third time in 10 matches there

    this year and finished 7-over as a team.But it still turned out to be a rather historic day for the Vikings as they

    clinched their first league championship in 20 seasons with a 182-190 vic-

    tory against Newport Harbor.Our league year in and out is a meat grinder. It is so tough," Marina

    coach Jim Morris said. All of the programs are good, and the coaches areoutstanding. You cant look past any team. You never know which way amatch is going to go.

    Whenever Marina plays at Meadowlark, the Vikings have a pretty goodidea what the result is going to be a Marina victory. This season, Marinais undefeated at Meadowlark, averaging a 2-over-par 177 in 10 matches.

    Sophomore Cameron Kaneko medaled for the sixth time this season forthe Vikings, shooting a 2-under 33 Thursday. Three other Marina golfersalso broke 40 in the Newport Harbor match as Patrick Pockels and NickSwanson both posted a 1-over 36 and Justin Gullock added a 2-over 37.

    Max Meisenheimer and Landon Knight led the Sailors (12-4, 6-3)with a 37.

    The Vikings will play in the CIF-SS team regional in two weeks at TalegaGolf Club in San Clemente. During a recent practice round there, four play-ers posted a score in the 70s, which should put them among the favotites inthe tournament

    My Cowboy SolutionsI

    have lived, loved, lost and loved again. Life is noteasy,..... but it is what it is. Right! So, therefore theseare the Cowboy rules for:

    Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, NewMexico, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Nebraska, Idaho, andthe rest of the Wild West are as follow including parts ofRhode Island:

    1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

    2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.

    3. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road.' I drivea pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow youdrive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or getout of the way.

    4. They are cattle. That's why they smell like cattle. Theysmell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-10 & I-40 go east and west, I-17 & I-15 goes north and south. Pick

    one and go.

    5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have$250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

    6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called beingfriendly. Try to understand the concept.

    7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheas-ants/ducks/doves are comin' in during a hunt, we WILLshoot it outta your hand. You better hope you don't have itup to your ear at the time.

    8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You reallywant sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

    9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It'sa religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of

    November.

    10. We open doors for women. That's applied to allwomen, regardless of age.

    11.No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Ordersteak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2pounds of ham and turkey.

    12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes:meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt,pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah ... We don't care what you

    folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'TREAL CHILI!!

    13. You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown,wet and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into myhouse, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck,

    and have long hair.

    14. College and High School Football is as importanthere as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers andthe Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

    15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the waterhazards - it spooks the fish.

    16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it any-more than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

    First Comes Love,Then Comes a House-

    Then Comes, WHAT!Graham Wood of AOL says with

    research, em [hatically..."Firstcomes love ... then comes a house... then comes marriage. Gettinghitched may not be the ultimate signof commitment these days as moreand more couples opt to buy a

    house together before walkingdown the aisle, new research shows.Nearly 1 in 4 married couples ages18 to 34 purchased a home together

    before getting married, according toa recent Coldwell Banker Real Es-tate survey released this week. Thatcompares to just 14 percent of mar-ried couples ages 45 and older.

    That's a reflection of millennials'shifting attitudes toward commit-ment, said psychotherapist Dr. RobiLudwig. "People are very commit-ment oriented, but millennials aremuch more pragmatic," she toldAOL Real Estate. "I think millenni-als are saying that if we want tohave the life we want, we need tomake smart decisions early on. ...The home becomes the new en-gagement ring -- and in some ways,the new wedding."

    It's not that these young couplesare less committed by putting thepurchase of a house before a wed-ding. According to the ColdwellBanker survey, 80 percent of allmarried couples who bought ahome together at any stage of theirrelationship said that purchasestrengthened their bond more thanany other purchase they've made.(The survey of 2,116 adults wasconducted March 8-12, reportedUSA Today.)

    For Zina Miranda and her fiance,Steve Roman, both 24 (and bothpictured at left), buying a house wasthe next logical step after gettingengaged. They're not due to marryuntil May 2014, but this June willmark their five-year anniversary,and they were just ready to take thereal estate plunge. The couple re-cently bought a house in Patchogue,N.Y.

    "We got engaged, and I was like,'OK, let's start looking [for ahouse]," Miranda told AOL RealEstate. "It was just a really good op-

    portunity to buy a house. We hadbeen saving a long time."

    Does she think that buying ahome proves their commitment toeach other even more than gettingmarried? "On some level, yes," Mi-randa said. The couple's venture

    into homeownership is doubly im-portant to them: It's the first timethey've lived together. "This is thehouse I could live in through the

    rest of my life," she added.While that might be a beautifulthing for young couples in love, thelegal ramifications of buying beforemarriage could be a little uglier.John Braun, a real estate attorney atThomas Law Group in Minneapo-lis, said that he has one word of ad-vice for couples buying a homebefore marriage: Don't.

    If you buy a home before mar-riage, Braun explained, you basi-cally sign a contract that gives youboth equal ownership of the house,but not joint ownership (at leastuntil marriage). In the event one ofthe partners dies, their share of thehouse goes to their heirs, not theother partner. And if you nevermake it to the altar and break up,well, "you are left owning a pieceof property with someone who iswishing that you would die," Braunjoked.

    "When I am not scaring peopleaway from [buying a house beforemarriage] altogether, I usually rec-ommend that they have an agree-ment that governs their ownershipinterests whatever happens," hesaid. "This kind of contract sets

    forth the contributions made byeach party, establishes a right of ei-ther party to demand that the prop-erty be sold and makes a bunch ofother decisions by agreement in ad-vance that are impossible to makeby agreement when the parties hateeach other. This is an area where anhour or two with an attorney can re-ally pay off in the long run; untan-gling these interests down the roadis a time-consuming -- and expen-sive -- undertaking."

    So, are these honey do's of Honeydon't...I guess only time will tell.

    untington Beach, CA, April 22, 2012From the Korean War Memo-rial to the Liberty Bell, through snowy battlefields and The Under-

    ground Railroad,Basilica of the NationalShrine and Broadway,the 8th grade class ofSaint BonaventureCatholic School experi-enced first-hand the iconsand landmarks of the na-tions rich history. Theannual trip, organized byteachers and the com-pany LEAD USA, tookstudents to WashingtonDC, Pennsylvania andNew York for an intenseweek of historic andcultural sightseeing.Students look forwardto it (and often save upmoney for it) from themoment they enter SaintBonaventure.

    In an unusual spring snowfall in Gettysburg, the group touredthe battlefield where in July 1863 Union and Confederate troopsclashed for three days. A reporter from the Gettysburg EveningSun marveled in an article written about the California visitorsthat while other tourists stayed in their vehicles the 8thgraders were grinning and catching snowflakes.

    Bringing to life important places and events covered in So-cial Studies, the 8-day trip had a jam-packed itinerary, while

    affording the students time to explore and contemplate. In New York City, thegroup visited Ground Zero and gazed at the

    names of the9/11 victims,which are in-scribed in longbronze stripsaround the re-

    cently completed footprint fountains.On the bus back to the airport when every-

    one related something they had learned, oneof the dad chaperones said, On this trip andat Ground Zero, I learned that its okay for a

    grown man to cry.Many thanks go out to

    Marie Martin of LEADUSA, teacher and lead or-ganizer Kathy Kustura,vice principal Janice Cal-lender, teachers MandyJepsen and DonnaJakubowski and parentchaperones Steve and An-gela Montano, Russ andLori Buccola, Charles Fal-zon, Dan Williams, DougdeHeras, Laura Mulvaney,Elizabeth Coker, PaulaVasin, Peter Badzey, JohnPierson, Diana Berbiglia,Mark Krebs, Sean Keegan,

    and Asa Fuller.

    The information contained in this column does notnecessarily reflect the opinion of The Local News.

    Jordan Kobritz is a former attorney, CPA, andMinor League Baseball team owner. He is a Pro-fessor and Chair of the Sport Management Depart-ment at SUNY Cortland and is a contributing authorto the Business of Sports Network and maintains theblog: http://sportsbeyondthelines.com Jordan canbe reached at [email protected]

    On the eveof the re-lease of

    the movie 42,the historical recounting of Jackie Robinsons1947 debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers, MLBCommissioner Bud Seligformed a committee to de-termine why the percentageof American-born blackplayers in the MajorLeagues has fallen by morethan half, from 19 percent to8.5 percent, since 1986.

    The NFL and the NBAhave long been accused ofdrawing talented black ath-letes away from the dia-mond. According to someexperts, the instant recogni-tion and riches of footballand basketball are reasonswhy black athletes are at-tracted to those sports overbaseball . They may beright. After all, we live inan instant gratificationworld, one where ridingbuses for up to 14 hours at a time, playing before

    family and friends in small towns and eatingthree meals per day on $22 for 4-5 years the

    norm for Minor League Baseball players beforethey reach the Major Leagues - is a hard sell.

    However, the same rationale used to explain alack of interest in baseball by black athletes ap-plies equally to white athletes. What isnt soequal is youth sports, or the lack thereof available

    to inner city kids. It onlytakes a handful of play-ers and very little openspace to play a basket-ball game and only afew more players and abit more space to playsome form of football.

    Baseball, on the otherhand, requires moreplayers and moreground, the latter ofwhich is at a premiumin our nations cities.Suburban youth, whotend to be more whitethan black, have greateraccess to land and fi-nances to dedicate tosports in general andbaseball in particular.

    It has also becomecommonplace for suburban youth to play on

    baseball travel teams where the quality andquantity of play is much better than other forms

    of youth baseball, including Little League.Some teams travel the country and play upwardsof 100 games per year, 8-10 times more thannon-travel teams. Players have more practicetime and access to better coaching and equip-ment. In fact, travel teams have become bigbusiness, playing almost year around, dependingon the location.

    Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper epit-omizes the benefits of eschewing Little Leaguefor travel teams. Harper began playing on travelteams when he was just nine years old. Harpersfive-year $3.65 million contract, on top of a sign-ing bonus of $6.25 million, plus the potential for

    tens-of-millions-of-dollars in future earnings sug-gests he made the right choice.Its fair to say that inner city kids dont have the

    same access to baseball resources that Harperhad. If MLB wants to increase the percentage ofblacks playing in the league, the best place tostart is with the kids.

    Dear EarthTalk:My kids just want to

    play videos games andwatch TV all day. Do you

    have any tips for getting them out-side to appreciate nature more? ~Sue Levinson, Bowie, MD

    Getting kids away from computer and TV screens and out-side into the fresh air is an increasing challenge for parentseverywhere. Researchers have found that U.S. children todayspend about half as much time outdoors as their counterpartsdid 20 years ago. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports thatkids aged eight to 18 spend on average more than seven anda half hours a dayor some 53+ hours per weekengagingwith so-called entertainment media. Meanwhile, the Children

    & Nature Network (C&NN), a non-profit founded by writers

    and educators concerned about nature deficit disorder, findsthat, in a typical week, only six percent of American kids aged

    nine to 13 plays outside on their own.According to Richard Louv, a founding board member of

    C&NN and author of the book, Last Child in the Woods, kidswho stay inside too much can suffer from nature deficit dis-

    order which can contribute to a range of behavioral problemsincluding attention disorders, depression and declining cre-ativity as well as physical problems like obesity. Louv blamesparental paranoia about potential dangers lurking outdoorsand restricted access to natural areascombined with the lureof video games, websites and TV.

    Of course, one of the keys to getting kids to appreciate na-ture is for parents to lead by example by getting off the couchand into the outdoors themselves. Since kids love being withtheir parents, why not take the fun outside? For those kidswho need a little extra prodding beyond following a parents

    good example, the Na-tional Wildlife Federation(NWF), a leading nationalnon-profit dedicated topreserving and appreciat-ing wildlife, offers lots ofsuggestions and other re-

    sources through its Be OutThere campaign.One tip is to pack an

    explorers kitcom-plete with a magnifyingglass, binoculars, contain-ers for collecting, fieldguides, a notebook, bugrepellent and band-aidsinto a backpack and leaveit by the door to facilitatespontaneous outdoor ad-ventures. Another idea isto set aside one hour eachday as green hour, dur-ing which kids go outsideexploring, discovering and

    learning about the natural world.

    NWFs online Activity Finder helps parents discover funoutdoor activities segmented by age. Examples include going

    on a Conifer Quest and making a board displaying the differ-ent types of evergreen trees in the neighborhood, turning anold soda bottle into a terrarium and building a wildlife brushshelter.

    Another great source of inspiration is C&NN which, duringthe month of April, is encouraging people of all ages to spendmore time outdoors at various family-friendly events as partof its nationwide Lets Get Outside initiative. Visitors to theC&NN website can scroll through dozens of events withindriving distance of most Americansand anyone can registeran appropriate event there as well.

    Researchers have found that children who play outsidemore are in better shape, more creative, less aggressive andshow better concentration than their couch potato counter-partsand that the most direct route to environmental aware-ness for adults is participating in wild nature activities as kids.So do yourself and your kid(s) a favor, and take a hike!

    David White, a wine writer, is the founderand editor of Terroirist.com. His columnsare housed at Palate Press: The Online WineMagazine (PalatePress.com)

    T

    his week, more than 100 wine pro-ducers are gathering in San Fran-

    cisco to celebrate America's take onthe 22 grape varieties originally made fa-mous in France's Rhone Valley.

    The producers -- known collectively as the"Rhone Rangers" -- trace their roots to the 1980s,when a small group of California vintners dedi-cated to these varieties began meeting informally.

    One of these winemakers was Randall Grahmof Bonny Doon Vineyard. Although best knownfor his flamboyant and irrever-ent marketing campaigns,Grahm was among the firstAmerican winemakers to em-

    brace varietals like Syrah,Grenache, and Mourvedre. Sowhen the Wine Spectatordubbed Grahm "The Rhone

    Ranger" in 1989, the monikerstuck.

    As the organization began togrow, these Rhone Rangers re-alized that if they worked to-gether, they'd all benefit. So inthe late 1990s, they formallyorganized and began promotingtheir work. The group helped catalyze -- and re-vive -- the planting of Rhone varieties across thecountry.

    But they still have lots of work to do.Consider Syrah, the most popular Rhone vari-

    etal in the United States. Marked by dark fruits,black pepper, and meat, Syrah is wonderfully ac-cessible, even in its youth. And whether it's bottled

    on its own or blended with varieties like Grenache

    and Mourvedre, Syrah is capable of striking theperfect balance between power and finesse. So itworks well with all sorts of food.

    When it comes to sales, however, Syrah is onlythe fourth most popular red wine grape, trailingCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. Al-

    though many Californiawinemakers have spenttheir lives hoping Syrahwould become the state'snext great varietal, saleshave dropped steadilyover the past few years.In 2012, Syrah sales de-

    clined by nearly 16 per-cent. It's no wonder whymany winemakers jokethat it's easier to get ridof a case of pneumoniathan a case of Syrah.

    With white wines, theRhone Rangers face an

    even bigger challenge. The primary four varieties-- Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, and GrenacheBlanc -- barely make the radar for America's wineconsumers.

    This defies logic. Viognier, which is typicallybottled on its own, and Marsanne and Roussanne,which are typically bottled together, are rich, trop-ical, and floral. So they're perfect substitutes for

    Chardonnay - and oftentimes more interesting.

    Grenache Blanc isbright, tart, and crisp.

    It's one of my favoritevarietals to pair withwarm weather.

    In the United States,many of the bestR h o n e - i n s p i r e dwines come from

    vineyards along California's coast -- from theSanta Ynez Valley and Paso Robles along the Cen-tral Coast, to the Santa Lucia Highlands in Mon-terey, to the Russian River Valley and Dry Creekin Sonoma.

    Other top wines come from the Columbia Valleyand Walla Walla Valley in Washington and Ore-gon's Rogue Valley. Idaho, Michigan, and Virginiaare also beginning to make their mark with thesegrapes.

    Most of these areas are relatively cool. Althoughmost Rhone varieties are a farmer's dream -- rea-sonably easy to grow and fairly resistant to disease-- these grapes shine when grown in cooler areas,resulting in complex, vibrant, more aromaticwines. When grown in warmer climates, these va-rieties too easily produce wines that are flabby and

    pruney.The Rhone Rangers certainly have their work

    cut out for them. But for now, the lack of demandfor Rhone varietals helps keep prices low. Socheck out what the Rhone Rangers have to offer.You won't be disappointed.

    The pineapple is a member of the bromeliad family.It is extremely rare that bromeliads produce edible fruit. The pineap-

    ple is the only available edible bromeliad today.It is a multiple fruit. One pineapple is actually made up of dozens of

    individual flowerets that grow together to form the entire fruit. Eachscale on a pineapple is evidence of a separate flower.

    Pineapples stop ripening the minute they are picked.No special way of storing them will help ripen them further.Color is relatively unimportant in determining ripeness.Choose your pineapple by smell. If it smells fresh, tropical and sweet,

    it will be a good fruit.The more scales on the pineapple, the sweeter and juicier the taste.After you cut off the top, you can plant it.It should grow much like a sweet potato will.This delicious fruit is not only sweet and tropical; it also offers many

    benefits to our health. Pineapple is a remarkable fruit.We find it enjoyable because of its lush, sweet and exotic flavor, but

    it may also be one of the most healthful foods available today.Pineapple is high in manganese, a mineral that is critical to develop-

    ment of strong bones and connective tissue. A cup of fresh pineapplewill give you nearly 75% of the recommended daily amount.

    It is particularly helpful to older adults, whose bones tend to becomebritt le with age.

    Regular ingestion of at least one half cup of fresh pineapple daily ispurported to relieve painful joints common to osteoarthritis. It also pro-duces mild pain relief.

    In Germany , bromelain is approved as a post-injury medication be-

    cause it is thought to reduce inflamma-tion and swelling.

    If you have a cold with aproductive cough, addpineapple to your diet. It is com-monly used in Europe as a

    post-operative measure to cutmucous after certain sinus and throatoperations.

    Those individuals who eat freshpineapple daily report fewer sinusproblems related to allergies. In and of it-self, pineapple has a very low risk for a l-lergies.

    Pineapple is also known to discour-age blood clot development. Thismakes it a valuable dietary additionfor frequent fliers and others whomay be at risk for blood clots.

    An old folk remedy for morningsickness is fresh pineapple juice. itreally works! Fresh juice and somenuts first thing in the morning oftenmake a difference.

    It's also good for a healthier mouth.The fresh juice discourages plaque

    growth.

    jumpstart. We've known for a whilethat help is on the way in the form ofan all-new Outlander crossover, butwe've basically only had loose confir-mations to go on that the Japanese au-tomaker would eventually reintroduceits Mirage subcompact to the Ameri-can market. Today, those rumors have

    turned to reality, as Mitsubishi has confirmed thatthe five-door economycar will hit US dealer-ships this fall.

    Every subcompactplayer needs a trumpsuit, from Ford's tech-rich Fiesta to Honda'simpossibly space-effi-cient Fit, and the Mi-rage's calling cardfigures to be its fueleconomy. Mitsubishisays it expects its 2014Mirage to achieve 37miles per gallon in thecity and 44 on the highway (combined rating of 40mpg) when equipped with a continuously variable

    transmission. Those figures are good enough, Mitsu

    says, to earn it the title of the most fuel-efficientgasoline vehicle sold in America that isn't a hybrid.

    Of course, Mitsubishi isn't outlining any additionalspecs at the moment not even engine configuration.We're expecting the company's 1.2-liter three-cylinder,which in European spec delivers a modest 79 horse-

    power and 78 pound-feet of torque. The Continent'sMirage weighs under 1,900 pounds, but the normallyaspirated triple still makes for leisurely acceleration of11.7 seconds to 62 miles per hour. It will be interestingto see if Mitsubishi makes some powertrain alterations

    to better suit American ex-pectations.

    With no performancestats on offer other thanfuel economy, interested

    parties will need to findsuccor in confirmation thatthe model will come withfeatures including auto-matic climate control,

    power windows and a four-speaker stereo with USB

    port. Options will also in-clude navigation withrearview camera, LED in-

    terior illumination and park assist. No pricing hasbeen released at this time.

    John Neff of Auto Blog has one word for this Vett driver...DUCK..."Youwouldn't believe it by looking at the Corvette in these pictures, but the driverof the Chevrolet that slammed into the back of this moving truck survived

    with only non-life threatening injuries. The crash occurred near Los Angeles onthe southbound 405 Freeway on Monday, March 4. Fire crews reportedly had toraise the moving truck in order to extricate the driver, who escaped perhaps theworst possible death imaginable decapitation by simply ducking prior to im-

    pact.What's supposed to prevent a crash like this from becoming lethal is a Mansfield

    Bar, so named because the low-hanging bar affixed to the rear of semi truck trail-ers became mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration afterthe death of popular movie actress Jayne Mansfield in 1967 from a rear-end col-lision with a tractor trailer.

    The Mansfield Bar is designed to prevent under-riding, and in 1998, the rulesgoverning them were revised to lower the bar to 22 inches off the ground. Evenat the height, some vehicles
