| Pairing wines with chocolates: Keep it sweet
I'm looking for a special wine for Valentine's Day, maybe something to go with chocolate. Can you recommend something that's not too expensive? -- Carrie, Old Bridge When I started out in the wine business 30 years ago, no one ever talked about drinking wine with chocolate. Wine went with beef; with chocolate, we drank coffee. Today, pontificating about what kinds of wine -- red or white, still or sparkling -- go with what types of chocolate -- milk or dark, mousse or cake -- is a hot topic among foodies and wine geeks. (Don't get me wrong: Some of my best friends are wine geeks.) The normally sound advice "Drink what you like" doesn't quite work with chocolate, because most wines, in fact, taste awful with chocolate. The one wine-pairing rule you never want to forget is: If the food is sweet, the wine needs to be sweeter.

Pro-Life Activists Arrested at Cypress College for 3rd Time
CYPRESS, Calif., Feb. 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- On February 21, 2008, Cypress College in California once again unlawfully arrested pro-life activists for being outside the school's "free speech zone." From the time of their arrival on campus, members of the pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust quietly held signs, distributed literature and dialogued with students about abortion, but because they refused to be confined to an area, they were arrested for failing to leave private property not open to the general public (trespassing). "How educated police officers and college administration can claim that a public school is private property is beyond me. Then they make a mockery of free speech by providing inadequate 'zones' in which they allow First Amendment rights to occur." says Kortney Blythe, Director of Campus Life Tours (CLT) for Survivors.
