'Frozen chosen': Maryland graduate competes for Israel in skeleton

LAKE PLACID, N.Y ? Just before he jumps on his skeleton sled for a wild, head-first ride down an icy, mile-long chute, Bradley Chalupski lowers his helmet visor, revealing a large Star of David.

Beneath the helmet is another layer: a yarmulke emblazoned with the logo of the University of Maryland.

In two years, Chalupski hopes, he will honor his sport and his Jewish heritage by participating in the Winter Olympics in Russia as the first ever member of Team Israel to race skeleton.

Chalupski wants to be the frozen chosen.

It's not a whim or a flight of fancy. The Maryland graduate doesn't want to be a novelty act, like Eddie the Eagle, Britain's death-defying ski jumper at the 1988 Olympics. Chalupski put a planned legal career on hold and now waits tables to make ends meet.

"I'm an American. I'm a boy from Jersey. But I'm super proud of what I'm doing," said Chalupski, 27. "Wearing the Star of David is a huge responsibility."

Skeleton sliders, as they are called, push their sleds ? basically a fiberglass cookie sheet on runners ? about 140 feet, gathering speed and then leap on for their run. They steer by shifting their body weight or by dragging their feet, which dangle off the back. The fastest time down Lake Placid's 19-curve track is 53.68 seconds.

Chalupski already has competed in two skeleton world championships and won an America's Cup medal ? Israel's first. He is ranked 59th out of 118 this year and finished ninth during the final America's Cup races last weekend. His informal coach, Rebecca Sorensen, a former U.S. skeleton athlete, believes her pupil can finish the 2014 Olympics in the Top 20.

But now comes the hard part: finding the money to launch a campaign that will take him this fall and winter to the world-class competitions in Europe. For that, Chalupski will spend the summer speaking at synagogues and before Jewish community groups to explain his journey.

The presence of a lone Israeli slider has altered the sport's culture. The sound of a shofar horn mingles with the din of cowbells at the starting line, and race officials in Lake Placid ? home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics and a training site for many U.S. teams ? had to order a white-and-blue Israeli flag for the ceremonial platforms.

Plunging 70 miles per hour down a track that drops 40 stories wasn't the path Chalupski had in mind in February 2006 as he sat alone in his Allegany Hall dorm room on the College Park campus, watching the Winter Games. Fluent in French, proficient in poker and a euphonium player in the Maryland marching band, he envisioned a career as a public servant in Washington.

All that changed when the skeleton competition came on the screen.

Chalupski recalled saying to himself: "That looks like so much fun. I bet I could totally do that."

A Google search located the website of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation and instructions on how to apply. Chalupski filled out the paperwork and sent it in. He graduated with honors in the spring of 2006 and went to France to teach high school English.

Then, in November, an email arrived inviting him to attend skeleton tryouts.

With his mother's reluctant help ? "she threw a tantrum," Chalupski said ? he flew from Paris to Utah, where he performed well enough to receive an offer to join the U.S. skeleton development program.

Instead, he entered law school at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. He tried to concentrate ? but in the end succumbed to the lure of Lake Placid's sliding track. He began dividing his time between the Newark campus and the Adirondack Mountains.

Each winter, Chalupski improved just enough to stay on the team. For his final semester, he stacked all his courses on Mondays so he could spend the rest of the week training for his last big chance on the track: the selection races leading up to the U.S. team trials.

He didn't make it.

"I sold some equipment and was ready to move on," Chalupski says. "I was setting up the other side of my life."

Aldean explains why ACMs are 'special' to him

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ? Jason Aldean will always remember his first time.

That's why the Academy of Country Music Awards hold a special place in his heart.

"I won my first award ever at the ACMs," he said. "So yeah, it is special."

Aldean won the ACM's Top New Male Vocalist award in 2006.

His music caught fire with fans soon after, but it took longer for the industry to catch up. Last year, the ACMs were the first awards show to nominate him in the entertainer of the year category. The Country Music Association Awards followed suit in the fall.

Even though he lost both times, the recognition alone marked a breakthrough.

"Last year finding out we were up for entertainer of the year was obviously a big moment for me in my career," said Aldean. "To get nominated again this year, we're excited to be heading back."

Aldean has the second most ACM nominations behind Kenny Chesney, with six, including entertainer and album of the year. His No. 1 duet with Kelly Clarkson, "Don't You Wanna Stay," is up for ACM single of the year and vocal event of the year at the awards show, airing Sunday, April 1 on CBS.

He released the platinum-selling hit at the end of 2010, and over the past year and a half, he has performed it with Clarkson at the CMAs, the Grammys, on TV shows, and at the CMA Music Festival last June.

"It's crazy. It seems like that song was out forever, but it was a huge, huge song for my career, and obviously this year we got nominated for a Grammy and things like that. So it's just, that song has been amazing," said Aldean. "I can't believe it's still up for awards, but I'm glad it is."

The momentum behind Aldean's "My Kinda Party" album has been building since it was named album of the year at the CMAs in November. He's hoping for another album win on Sunday and has plans to follow it up with new material he recorded in December.

"I think anytime you win an award like that and you kind of get recognition from the industry on something like that that you've done, I think it makes you feel good, obviously, and have confidence in what you're doing," he said. "Does it change how I prepare for my next record? Not really. I think what won us that award was me going in and doing things the way I have always done them, and that's kind of the way I'm looking at our new record, too ... I can't wait for people to hear that."

Aldean also is up for male vocalist and video of the year for "Tattoos On This Town."

Milwaukee mayor shakes up Wis. recall election

MADISON, Wis. ? Unions behind efforts that forced Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker into a recall election are facing an uncomfortable scenario: Their favored candidate may not survive the Democratic primary now that Milwaukee's mayor is in the race.

Mayor Tom Barrett recently announced he was running to oust the Republican governor, who was targeted after championing a law that curtailed public workers' collective bargaining rights. Barrett narrowly lost to Walker in the 2010 race for governor.

Major unions are supporting Kathleen Falk, the former longtime Dane County executive.

Unions had urged Barrett not to run after he refused to promise, unlike Falk, to veto a state budget if it didn't restore collective bargaining rights.

Wisconsin police union leader Jim Palmer says Barrett is "a game changer" who would work to bring people together.

Credit Card Secrets ? Tips On Budgeting | personal finance investment

In our previous post I talked about that there are several strategies that credit card companies don?t want you to learn. There are plenty of possibilities out there for you to select from and numerous ways that you can avoid user charges and pay little to no interest on purchases. You as the client have the choice to make your credit card work for you. Here are a number of additional exciting credit card tricks that will offer you a great deal of tips on budgeting.

Two-cycle Billing

This is one other method that credit card companies will effort to get more money from you and countless people never even realize that two-cycle billing exists. In short, companies will calculate an interest charge that is 2 months of interest if you were unable to pay off the balance in full. It seems like a terrible strategy but you?re the one asking for their money after all. This predicament only happens if you switch from paying on time all of the time to having a monthly balance. The remedy to rectify this issue is to swap to a brand-new card issuer or ALWAYS pay your balance in full.

Fees Are Negotiable

A number of cards require service fees of $50 a month or more. The thing you will want to ask your self is if paying a fee is really worth the ?privilege? of having that specific card. Various companies also make you subject to pay finance charges of more than 18%. The solution to this dilemma is easy to eliminate. If you are a excellent customer, your financial institution could be eager to lose the annual fee or lessen the interest rate or both. The most effective way you can easily make this work is if you walk in and inquire. If that does not work switch to a completely new credit card company. That?s one of the most simple tips on budgeting you can find.

Shortened Due Dates

The most popular grace time period for credit cards is twenty five days. You have got this amount of time to pay for your buys or you are going to be subject to high interest fees. Several finance institutions have started to offer you shorter grace periods of just twenty days ? but only to those customers that pay in full each and every month. That is alright if you like the concept of the twenty day grace period. If you might be less than thrilled about that concept the quick remedy is to talk with your financial institution and these people will most likely change you back to the normal 25 days. If they?re unwilling to meet this request it may well be time for a change.

For every single challenge there is a remedy when doing business with your credit cards. You as a client have the right to settle yearly fees and interest premiums. Someone will like your business and will make sacrifices to make you their own customer. With luck, this list of techniques supplied you the tips on budgeting you have earned. For more details, look through my web-site to receive the free E-Book, free budget spreadsheet, free calculators and links to a number of tools. We also have a number of leaked videos to assist with your budget.

Until Next time,
