World

You'll never look at a map the same way again!

America has World Cup Soccer Fever! I can remember only a couple of years ago having a conversation with someone about how soccer is the world's sport, yet America has so far failed to embrace it. Maybe it's because we've never been this far in the playoffs before, or maybe it's a bandwagon thing but either way America is loving it.

Okay, this is a few years old but thanks to Reddit, it's new to me and it's something I'm sure we can all rally behind. Behold, the 'World Burping Championship.'

Sure, we always rally behind our athletes in the Olympics. We pull for our professional teams in football, baseball, and basketball. For years though, there was always a stigma about the sport of soccer and it's unpopularity with the U.S. audience. I think that's changing.

If you invest a lot of time into your passion, you're bound to get better at it. I've always been a soul/blues fan because I like the push and pull of it all. There's a lot of flow and feeling there. I've never been much for shredding on guitar but you've got to admit, this is pretty impressive.

Well it was a chilly trek and one of the quickest parades I've seen, but fans came out in droves to get a look at the Boston Red Sox 2013 World Series trophy as it made its way down Main Street in a parade of First Responders. It all coincides with the 2014 IBU Youth/Junior Biathlon World Championships which are taking place at the Nordic Heritage Center in Presque Isle this week.

As part of the 2014 Youth/Junior Biathlon week, residents of Presque Isle are getting an added bonus. The 2013 Boston Red Sox World Series Trophy has made its way north. After spending part of the afternoon at Northern Maine Community College and making a few surprise pit stops, the big parade through downtown is underway.

The 2014 IBU Youth/Junior Biathlon World Championships in Presque Isle are just over a month away, and organizers say more athletes than expected will be competing in the event.

St.Patrick’s Day is almost here, which means that Easter is right around the corner.  Although this is a religious holiday, we’ve commercialized it like we do everything else.  Will you be painting eggs with your kids this year, or even hiding candy through the yard?  I thought I might take a look at some Easter traditions from around the world.
