The vintage international lounge at the Gander airport in central Newfoundland is a time capsule where Italian marble and designer furniture still exude the faded glamour of world travel. It’s a vast room, its iconic yellow sofas whimsically arranged on a mezzanine overlooking terrazzo floors and sleek blue chairs where VIPs ranging from global leaders to the Beatles once stopped on transatlantic flights. It was opened by the Queen as a showcase of Canadian modernity in 1959. But the growing costs of preserving this cultural touchstone have raised the prospect that a more practical, smaller terminal will replace it. “We...

Gander Mountain, which sold a weapon used in a Christmas Eve shooting that left two Rochester, N.Y.-area volunteer firefighters dead, is being sued on behalf of the victims. The semi-automatic rifle used by William Spengler Jr. on Dec. 24, 2012, to kill two West Webster firefighters and wound two others was purchased at a Gander Mountain store by his neighbor Dawn Nguyen. Spengler couldn't buy the gun because he was a felon. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence says it filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of the four victims claiming that St. Paul-based Gander Mountain should have realized...

Gander Mountain will open a "Firearms Super Center" in Rogers later this month, the first time it has rolled out the concept in Minnesota, the company said Friday, April 5. The St. Paul-based outdoor goods chain already has 11 Gander Mountain locations across the state -- all of which sell guns -- but its store in the western Twin Cities suburb will have strictly a firearms emphasis. The company boasts it is "the nation's leading firearms retailer." The 30,000-square-foot Rogers location -- formerly a Best Buy -- will have its official grand opening in May.

OTTAWA - Little Gander, N.L., will get big praise Thursday at a prestigious 9-11 anniversary summit in Washington, D.C. The town of 10,000, which rallied to house and feed 6,500 stranded passengers for several days after North American airspace was shut down in the hours following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, will receive the International Resilience Award from the Center for National Policy.

The "Homecoming Queen" at a traditionally black US university has sent a letter to President Barack Obama, complaining that her win had been questioned on campus because she is white. "It would be much easier to say that possibly some were not accepting of the news because I wasn't the most qualified contestant; however, the true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African American," the nursing student wrote to the president. She asked the president for help, suggesting that he visit Hampton University to convince students to "stop focusing so much...

Dawns on this poster -- that the ultimate "turnabout is fair play" would be to humiliate and bring down the one person who *invented* the left's politics of personal destruction: Saul Alinsky.

Some female ducks and geese have evolved complex genitalia to thwart unwelcome mating attempts, according to a new study. Males of some species, such as mallard, have a notorious habit of "raping" females. They and other wildfowl are among the 3% of bird species whose males have phalluses big enough to insert into the vaginas of females, whether or not the female consents. Now, in the most detailed analysis yet of duck and goose vaginas, researchers have established that females of these species have evolved vaginal features to thwart unwelcome males. Tim Birkhead at the University of Sheffield in the...

AP News Alert Iranian president says his country ready to halt uranium enrichment provided the West does the same and shuts down its own nuclear programs.

An unlikely candidate for federal aid, struggling airport faces an uncertain future Gary Vey, chief executive of the Gander International Airport Authority, bristles when federal bureaucrats tell him the town's struggling airport is no longer an essential part of the country's aviation system and, therefore, an unlikely candidate for help from Ottawa. It's an understandable reaction considering that, barely five years ago, Gander, Nfld., was lauded for its role during 9/11, when it provided safe haven for 38 commercial jetliners forced to make emergency landings on its giant runways. In fact, Mr. Vey, 55, says Gander came close to providing...

The words still turn stomachs 20 years later: "No survivors." Malinda Parris was preparing to welcome her husband home for the holidays from a mission in Egypt when she first heard them. She had decorated the house, baked wildly to fill the kitchen with his favorite foods and was dressing to go to a homecoming ceremony at Fort Campbell.

St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly and sporting goods retailer Gander Mountain are announcing this morning that the growing company will move its corporate headquarters to downtown St. Paul from Bloomington, City Hall and real estate sources said Wednesday.

Does the president not read? Does his national security staff, led by Condoleezza Rice, keep him in the dark about the most pressing issues of the day? Or is this administration blatantly lying to the American people to secure its ideological ends? Those questions arise because of the White House admission that the charge that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Niger was excised from a speech by President George W. Bush in October 2002 after the CIA and Department of State insisted it was unfounded. Bizarrely, however, three months later without any additional evidence emerging that outrageous lie was...

Let's take a page from the Democrats' playbook: We won't censure Lott, and we'll move on. Just as the Democrats did with Raping Billy Jeff Clinton, serial abuser of women and his position. Maybe Trent can get a book deal, and a few hundred large per speech.
