Travel guru Rick Steves clues us in on changes in travel and has purged his “Europe Through the Back Door” books of wisdom that no longer applies, such as stocking up on camera film and taking along traveler’s checks. It’s all memory sticks and ATMs now.

On a wing and a belch: A New Jersey man won Philadelphia’s Wing Bowl on Friday by downing 203 chicken wings in 20 minutes.
If all you’ve got at your Super Bowl party on Sunday is celery sticks and pretzels, you know who to blame.
Punxsuntawney Philco: If the U.S. House passes the bill, President Barack Obama says he’ll sign legislation that would delay the switch to digital television broadcasts until June.
It’s like Groundhog Day for TV. If the bill passes it means another 20 weeks of commercials and screen crawls telling you you’re not ready for digital TV.
