Excerpt:

August A. Busch (center) and his sons, Adolphus III (left) and August Jr. , seal the first case of beer off the Anheuser-Busch bottling plant line in St. Louis on April 7, 1933, when the sale of low-alcohol beers and wines was once again legal. Prohibition didn't officially end until Dec. 5 of that year. For nearly 150 years the world-renowned beer manufacturer Anheuser-Busch was a family company. It was passed from father to son for five generations. A couple drops of Budweiser were put onto the tongue of each first-born son before he even tasted his mother's milk. That trademark brew, Budweiser, is known to the world as the "King of Beers," and the Busch family wasn't too far from American royalty.

Scientist: Wash. dock looks just like one in Ore. | Redux

Scientist: Wash. dock looks just like one in Ore.

Excerpt:

A scientist who examined the dock that has washed ashore on Washington's Olympic Peninsula says it looks just like the one that came ashore on a central Oregon beach last summer. John Chapman, an assistant professor of fisheries at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center, said Friday the Washington dock has the same dimensions and configuration as the one near Newport, Ore. But there was no commemorative plaque to identify where it came from. The Oregon dock broke loose from a Japanese fishing port in 2011. Chapman says 30 marine species were identified on the Washington dock — more than 100 were found on the Oregon dock. He says the Washington dock was in the ocean longer, and fewer species from Japan survived.

States With the Most, Least Pet Owners | Redux

States With the Most, Least Pet Owners

Excerpt:

Among residents of the 50 states, Vermonters are more likely to have pets, according to a new survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association. The AVMA released its U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook, revealing which states have the largest number of pet owners and which have the fewest, and spending trends among pet owners. Thomas McPheron, spokesman for the AVMA, said the survey didn't collect information that might indicate why certain states had higher rates of pet ownership. However, one of the factors may be related to the type of dwellings, such as rural or suburban. "One clue might be that Washington D.C., which is completely urban, has the absolute lowest pet ownership numbers," McPheron said. Total veterinary expenditures for all households with pets were estimated to be about $28 billion in 2011. Dogs represented 68. 1 percent of total veterinary expenditures; cats, 26. 3 percent; birds, 0.
