In a move that caught many off guard, the Patriots reportedly have told SS James Sanders they are releasing him, opening up spots on their depth chart for younger players.
Sanders, 27, was cut despite starting 50 games for the Patriots since 2005. Last season he played in 15 games, starting nine of them, and finished with 58 tackles and a career-best three interceptions.
Sanders told ESPN Boston he wasn't prepared for the news, saying, "It was a shock. It wasn't one of the things I was expecting to hear today. It didn't cross my mind."
New England's starting safeties this season are expected to be Brandon Meriweather at FS and Patrick Chung at SS. Sanders was slated to be the third safety on the depth chart.

PHOENIX (AP) - A transient suspected of stealing four luxury cars from Phoenix health clubs last year has pleaded not guilty to 18 charges in the case.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 45-year-old Richard Cory Barker entered his plea Monday. His next scheduled court date is March 25.
Barker was arrested last month on suspicion of vehicle theft, taking the identity of another, trafficking stolen property, credit card theft, forgery and burglary.
Phoenix police believe Barker followed the victims into two workout facilities, broke into their lockers as they worked out and removed personal property including car keys.
Police say Barker sold 1 of the vehicles for $8,900 after advertising it online and giving the buyer a fake title.
Undercover officers posed as potential buyers for 1 of the stolen vehicles and arrested Barker.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSConservative Group Set To Run Ad In Rahall's District
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 2, 2014 11:48 PM EST
Updated: Feb. 3, 2014 4:19 AM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Heath Harrison) --A conservative political advocacy group is set to get more active in West Virginia politics this week.
Americans for Prosperity, WV will be unveiling a TV spot to run in the state's 3rd Congressional District, in which the group says it will put pressure on U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., to "stand up for West Virginians" against the Affordable Care Act.
The group is the local chapter of Americans For Prosperity, a national organization headquartered in Arlington, Va. and founded with support from David H. Koch and Charles Koch, of Koch Industries. The billionaire brothers are known for their financial support of conservative causes nationally.
As a 501(c)(4) group, Americans for Prosperity is not required to disclose its donors. It can advocate on political issues, but can not endorse or advocate on behalf of specific candidates.
The group will be celebrating the launch of its state chapter with an event in Charleston on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. at the Marriott. The group has an event scheduled for Beckley on Monday.
Rahall, who has served as the district's representative since 1977, is running for reelection to Congress in 2014. He is expected to face Republican state Sen. Evan Jenkins in the general election. Jenkins switched his political affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 2013 in preparation for a run.

A south suburban woman who abducted her young child for the second time was arrested in Memphis, Tenn., Friday morning.
Taneil Curtis, 32, is accused of kidnapping her 21-month-old son during a supervised visit last month.
A Department of Children and Family Services employee was supervising Curtis and the boy when Curtis asked to get water for her son then ran out the door with her child, sheriff's police said.
"She showed up at a McDonald's in South Holland with a U-Haul van being driven by a sex offender, while she herself had four active warrants at the time," Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.
South Holland Police eventually arrested that sex offender, Curtis' boyfriend Kirk Alexander, but couldn't locate Curtis. That is until Friday morning where she was arrested in Memphis, Tennessee.
"The facts of this case are horrifically troubling," Dart said.
Dart wants to know why the Department of Child and Family services would allow a mother with four outstanding warrants to see her son, when she has already kidnapped him before.
Dart says back in 1998, Curtis had her first child. Her parental rights were terminated. Then in 2008, she had her second child where shortly after she reportedly tried to run over a DCFS worker with the baby on her lap. Then in 2009, she had her third child.
When her fourth was born at Ingalls Hospital in Harvey, authorities say she kidnapped her baby. The two were found a few weeks later in Hammond, Indiana.
DCFS released a statement about the most recent kidnapping: "This visitation was supervised by a veteran staffer of one of our nonprofit partners, who immediately called 911, and police arrived within minutes."
"Do I think this is isolated? No, I don't. And so I think this calls for something that from top to bottom the system is analyzed and we make sure of it," Dart said.
Alexander, 35, remains in Cook County Jail.

What is the ICRC Special Fund for the Disabled?
The SFD was established by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1983 to help ensure the continuity of its projects on behalf of people affected by conflict or war, and to support physical rehabilitation centres in low-income countries.
In 2001, the SFD became an independent foundation under Swiss law. It is governed by a policymaking Board, consisting of ICRC and other members. Operational decisions are taken by the SFD Executive Committee and its director coordinates the day-to-day activities together with the heads of its regional field offices.
The SFD maintains a standard reporting system based on that of the ICRC and its accounts are examined yearly by an external auditor. SFD projects are regularly assessed by internal and external evaluators.
The SFD has a distinct identity and responsibilities of its own. However, close links remain between the ICRC and the SFD, notably in such matters as operational policy, project implementation, human resources and training.
What is physical rehabilitation?
Physical rehabilitation includes the provision of assistive devices (prostheses, orthoses, walking aids and wheelchairs) and appropriate physiotherapy. Physical rehabilitation is a means of integrating physically disabled people into family, community, employment and education. Restoring mobility is the first step towards enjoying such basic rights as access to food, shelter, education, job/income, equal opportunities and equal citizenship.
What is the SFD's link with the International Committee of the Red Cross?
The ICRC Special Fund for the Disabled (SFD) was established by the ICRC in 1983 to ensure the continuity of former programmes of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on behalf of the war-disabled and to support physical rehabilitation centres in low-income countries. At the beginning of 2001, the ICRC Assembly turned the SFD into an independent foundation and its Board was opened to members of other organizations. The ICRC maintains a majority position within the SFD Board, which is presided over ex-officio by a member of the ICRC Assembly.
The SFD has a distinct identity and its own responsibilities and it operates with a certain degree of independence. This includes its management, administration and fundraising structure. There are, of course, close coordination mechanisms between the ICRC and the SFD, notably concerning operational policy, project implementation, human resources and training.
For the most part, the SFD adheres to ICRC norms and procedures, thus avoiding duplication and reducing its administrative costs.
Where does the ICRC Special Fund for the Disabled work?
The SFD operates mainly in countries, where the ICRC has no permanent activities. (As a general rule, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) physical rehabilitation projects address needs in countries where the context has led to a permanent operational presence of the organization).
Where necessary, the SFD provides assistance to people with disabilities who were formerly assisted by the ICRC. The SFD's involvement thereby contributes to bridging the gap between the time when the ICRC withdraws – in conformity with its mandate – and the moment when the government or local institutions can take on full responsibility for the physical rehabilitation centres.
In low-income countries, the SFD may also support physical rehabilitation projects that have not previously been assisted by the ICRC, provided that its criteria for doing so are met.
How does the SFD help people?
The SFD combines people-oriented support for individuals with structure-oriented support for the institutions providing the services.
By using the standards, technology and strategies developed by the ICRC, the SFD offers support that is adapted to the needs of each assisted centre. This helps the centres consolidate or even expand their services. The SFD also aims to render the centres autonomous.
Its people-oriented activities aim to promote access to effective and quality rehabilitation services by:

FORNEY – Man versus nature is a theme we all know –– but what about man versus insurance conglomerate?
That's Randy Curtis' story. And he doesn't like the way it ends, either.
"I'm totally disgusted," said Curtis, who lives on the border of Terrell and Forney.
After vicious April tornadoes ripped through the Forney area, Curtis noticed insurance companies replacing roofs in his neighborhood. He also noticed, with frustration, how his insurance company, All State, refused to replace his, or the roof right next door, or the roof directly across the street.
All of them All State customers.
"All I want is to be treated fairly by my insurance company," Curtis said.
Roofer Roddi Boesel does too. News 8 outfitted him with cameras as he inspected Curtis' roof, which showed large patches of loose shingles.
His opinion? Curtis needs a new roof to the tune of $14,000 to $16,000. News 8 asked him if 100 of his peers inspected the same roof, how many of them would agree the roof needs to be replaced?
"Oh, every one of them," Boesel said. "Every single one."
Boesel also inspected the home next door to Curtis', owned by Mark Scensy, and reached the same conclusion.
"I'm not happy with All State, at all," Scensy said.
All State says it's paid out 10,000 claims in connection with the storm.
News 8 contacted the company about the three unpaid claims in Randy Curtis' neighborhood and asked the company to review their decisions. They did and determined, again, that the company was right, even though All State never reached back out to homeowners or re-inspected their roofs.
In a statement, the company writes it's committed to customer satisfaction and this: "Each policy and case is unique, and the determination of insurance coverage may differ from expectations that may be set by some contractors who come into a neighborhood after a storm."
But not every claim ends that way.
Robert Rice works for a company called Skipton and Associates. The way you might hire an attorney to deal with the IRS, Skipton works on commission for commercial clients taking on insurance companies.
Clients like Cal-Tex Produce, in Dallas. The company's roof was damaged in that big June hailstorm that hit Lakewood, but was turned down by its commercial insurance carrier.
After Skipton stepped in?
"Right now, what we've received in proceeds is a little over $200,000," Rice said. "And we're still working on that."
"The moral is, sometimes you need somebody in your corner fighting for you," said Cal-Tex co-owner Jimmy Hutton.
That's true for the little guy, too, if you complain to the Texas Department of Insurance. Last year, the state resolved more than 18,000 insurance complaints and returned $29 million to consumers.
"We're able to take a look at what the company is doing, how the claim is being handled, and then be able to address those issues with the carrier to assist the consumer," said Valerie Brown with the Texas Department of Insurance.
It's an option few homeowners, like Randy Curtis, know about. But when your life story is man-versus-insurance conglomerate, sometimes it helps to have an extra set of good hands.

Garden Tool: Use the right tool for the job. Bypass pruners (with blades arranged like scissors) make the cleanest cut. Anvil pruners may feel more powerful, but the blade tends to crush small branches, leaving a jagged wound more vulnerable to rot. But anvil pruners are essential if wrists are weak. If bypass pruners aren't working it's time to move up to a lopper or a pruning saw. For a concise discussion of all the various pruning tools go to: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/pruningtools.html

Seize the opportunity offered by stormy weather to clean and sharpen your garden tools. William Bryant Logan, author of Smith and Hawken's The Tool Book (Workman, 1997), suggests a simple maintenance regime. First scrub the dirt off your shovels, trowels, forks and pruners, then plunge the long handled tools into a sand filled bucket to which a bit of vegetable oil has been added, finish off by wiping everything off with an oiled rag. For pruners dulled by use and abuse a little sharpening work now translates into clean cuts that heal quickly. Garden Gate offers detailed pruner sharpening instructions with video

Perhaps you've heard of a full moon so bright you can read by its light. But what if you could also read by the light of ocean waves — at night, with no moonlight at all? If you're in one of Puerto Rico's famous "bioluminescent bays," you might be able to. In these three bays, the water is full of tiny plankton called dinoflagellates which produce neon blue light called bioluminescence.

Alice Waters Named One of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People
United States
09 May 14
Slow Food Vice President Alice Waters has been named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People, alongside Pope Francis and Barack Obama. "Alice Waters is generally described as a chef," writes food writer Ruth Reichl for Time. "This is wrong. Alice Waters is a revolutionary who wants to change the world through food… Chez Panisse is undoubtedly the most influential restaurant of its time, but Alice's legacy extends far beyond that. She proved the power of a chef, showing an entire generation that one passionate person can reshape the eating habits of a nation." Read the entire article at time.com

SEATTLE -- When Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain was getting serious about baseball -- something that didn't happen until he was in high school -- one of his role models was Torii Hunter.
"When I started, I watched videos of him hitting and what-not," Cain said. "I really liked the way he played the game, so I tried to mold my game after his defensively, and the way he swung the bat was something I was really impressed by."
Cain got a view of Hunter at his best on Wednesday, when the Angels' designated hitter went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs in an 11-6 victory over the Royals. Since moving up the ranks in baseball, Cain has had a few opportunities to visit with Hunter.
"When LaTroy Hawkins and I were with Milwaukee during Spring Training, we went to one of the Globetrotters' basketball games, and I got to meet him then," Cain said. "He signed a ball for me and I got a chance to talk to him."
The relationship has continued.
"He's definitely pulled me aside a few times and told me to stay with my approach and go the other way sometimes and also use the whole field when you hit," Cain said.
Hunter got to see Cain pull a home run to left field and smack a couple hits to right field during the series at Anaheim.
Royals not sorry to see Ichiro leave Seattle
SEATTLE -- It's a different Mariners lineup that the Royals are facing this weekend. For the first time since 2001, there's no Ichiro Suzuki.
Suzuki tortured the Royals more than any other American League club, batting .365 (145-for-397) against them.
"I don't know how he did it," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He always found a hole or a spot. Pretty amazing."
In 2006, Ichiro hit .529 (18-for-34) against Kansas City. All but two of his 10 career homers against the Royals came before Yost took over in 2010.
"He never really burned us for power, or doubles in the gap," Yost said. "You never liked to see him come up with guys on because he was such a tough out. He was hard to defend because he sprays the ball everywhere."
Even though Royals pitcher Bruce Chen opposed Suzuki left-on-left, he didn't subdue him often enough. Ichiro's average against Chen was .414 (12-for-29).
"He's good, man. You have to remember when I faced him, he was in his prime," Chen said. "The guy's tough. The hardest thing with him was he's a very good contact hitter and he's fast. So every time he puts the ball in play, unless it's in the air, he has a chance."
In a total of 433 plate appearances against Kansas City, Suzuki struck out only 33 times.
"It was a real good challenge facing him," Chen said. "He's probably one of the best hitters in the big leagues and, combined between Japan and the United States, I think he has a chance of getting 4,000 hits.
"I never backed down from a challenge and he's definitely one guy that you wanted to pitch to and see how good you are."
Guthrie getting settled in with Royals
SEATTLE -- Right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, who will make his second start for Kansas City on Friday night against Seattle, is settling in nicely with the Royals.
"Baseball's a small fraternity where, if you switch teams, you're always going to know a few guys that you played against along the way," Guthrie said. "Players seem to mold into the new team pretty easily."
There are no former teammates of Guthrie's on the Royals, with many of the players either homegrown or recent arrivals to the Majors. He's impressed by what he's seen from his new club.
"You watch the lineup, one through nine, and it just continues to improve and it's loaded with talent," Guthrie said. "And some of the young arms we're seeing out there have the potential to be really good for a long time."
Crown points
Daytime dilemma: When the Royals lost on Wednesday at Anaheim, it was their eighth straight loss in a day game, a trend they would like to reverse on Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Safeco Field. Overall, the Royals are 12-22 in the daytime, including 2-12 at home.
Right fielder Jeff Francoeur notched his 12th assist in the first inning on Thursday night, forcing out Casper Wells with a throw to second base after fielding John Jaso's looper. That gave Francoeur the Major League lead in outfield assists. For the season, the Royals outfield has 28 assists, most in the Majors.
Second baseman Johnny Giavotella's hitting streak for Triple-A Omaha reached 21 games (36-for-87, .414) with three hits, including a homer and a double, in Thursday night's 5-1 loss in his hometown of New Orleans.
Right-hander Elisaul Pimentel's three-hit, 4-1 victory for Single-A Wilmington over Frederick marked the Blue Rocks' first true nine-inning complete game since 2007. Chris Dwyer had one in 2010 but it came in a suspended game.
Jim Brower, pitching coach for Single-A Kane County, will be the pitching coach in the Arizona Fall League for the Surprise Saguaros. The Minor League players will be supplied by the Royals, Cardinals, Mets, Red Sox and Rangers.

National Council for Research on Women Premieres Ground-Breaking Childcare Report at
Congressional Briefing on Capitol Hill June 20; Rep. Carolyn Maloney to Provide Opening Remarks
Event will launch "Leveraging Women's Voices" Conference, focusing on women's
economic security and leadership, June 20 – June 22, Washington D.C.
For immediate release www.regender.org
New York (June 18, 2012) – Today, The National Council for Research on Women (NCRW) announced a Congressional Briefing on June 20 to premiere the ground-breaking report, Caring for Our Nation's Future: The Impact of ARRA Funding on Access to Childcare, at 2:30 p.m. on Capitol Hill, Rayburn Building. The report's findings have national economic and policy implications that are particularly relevant in this election year, and calls on Congress to convene a hearing on the issue. Rep. Carolyn Maloney will deliver the introductory remarks.
Conducted by NCRW in partnership with the University of Georgia and University of Memphis, study's findings and recommendations offer solutions that could revolutionize access to quality, affordable childcare nationwide.
"A lack of access to childcare services not only prevents workers from entering the workforce; for many families, it perpetuates cycles of poverty by reducing the resources parents have available for employment opportunities and educational advancement," said Lynda Sagrestano, University of Memphis. "The difficulty that American families face in accessing stable and affordable childcare is a national tragedy, one that has deep implications for a nation struggling to recover from economic crisis," added Chris Cuomo, University of Georgia.
The briefing will launch NCRW's 30th Anniversary Annual Conference, Leveraging Women's Voices, to be held June 20 - June 22, 2012 in Washington, D.C. The Conference will focus on strengthening women's economic security and advancing women's leadership, and will identify concrete action steps and collective strategies to impact the 2012 presidential election and usher transformative economic and social change towards greater gender equality.
"More women are living in poverty today than in the past 17 years. And women's leadership across sectors is stalled at a paltry 16 percent. Meanwhile, women are the majority of U.S. voters and now comprise a majority of the workforce. It's past time for meaningful and lasting change in the status of women nationally and globally – and this Conference aims to leverage women's voices to deliver that change," said Linda Basch, President of the National Council for Research on Women.
Held over three days, the Conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together the nation's foremost researchers, policy specialists, and advocates, as well as allies from government, business, media and philanthropic circles, who will participate in a dynamic series of panels, workshops, networking, and strategy sessions to collectively build an action-oriented agenda impacting the 2012 election year. Key topics will include: building sustainable economic security for low-income women and families; generating a collective impact approach to drive meaningful social change; and building the next generation of women leaders.
The full Conference program is available online at www.regender.org [1]. Spaces are limited; please visit www.regender.org [1] for more information and to RSVP.

The NFL has denied accusations it covered up retractions made by key witnesses in its bounty investigation.
Goodell hears bounty appeals from players
Roger Goodell has finished hearing appeals from four players in the Saints bounty case, amid complaints that the NFL didn't prove anything.
Reports: Evidence given to players ahead of bounty appeals

People familiar with the situation say defensive end Will Smith and Vilma has agreed to restructure his contract in order to remain with the New Orleans Saints.||||||| The 31-year-old Smith and 30-year-old Vilma, both veteran defensive captains who were implicated in the NFL's bounty probe, would have consumed about $23 million combined in salary cap space had they not agreed to new deals before the new league year - and free agency - began Tuesday afternoon.
Vilma has asked a federal judge to allow him to move forward with his defamation case against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.||||||| In a motion filed Wednesday, Vilma drops his case against the NFL's disciplinary process, now that his suspension has been lifted. However, he continues to pursue damages from Goodell for harm he alleges was done to his reputation by the NFL's bounty probe of the New Orleans Saints. In an NFL appeal ruling Tuesday, former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue threw out suspensions for Vilma and three other current and former Saints in connection with the bounty investigation.
Saints defensive end Will Smith says he and linebacker Jonathan Vilma will be present Friday when their lawyers cross examine former New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in Washington, D.C. Williams appears at a bounty hearing on Friday morning, according to a schedule set by Paul Tagliabue. The former NFL commissioner has been appointed to oversee the latest round of player appeals in the matter.||||||| Smith and Vilma will leave Atlanta after Thursday night's game against the Falcons. They are among four players issued suspensions of various lengths in the league's probe of the Saints' cash-for-hits program. Smith and Vilma are playing while their appeals are pending. Williams and former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo were two of the NFL's central witnesses in the probe. Cerullo's appearance is scheduled for Thursday.
Vilma hopes to play a bigger role on the Saints' defense in his second game of the season Sunday against Denver. He said his knee, and his entire body, held up very well after the Tampa Bay game. He did not make a tackle but had one deflection and forced a near interception.||||||| Playing for the first time while appealing his season-long suspension for his role in the New Orleans' bounty program, Vilma played 18 snaps last Sunday against Tampa Bay. Vilma declined Friday to talk about any bounty-related topics leading into his appeals hearing Tuesday with former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who will decide whether to uphold Roger Goodell's ruling.
Vilma played for the first time on Sunday while appealing a season-long suspension due to his role in the Saints' bounty program, recording one quarterback hit and breaking up one pass.||||||| New Orleans still gave up a season-high 513 yards, but players said Vilma's return provided an emotional lift.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Located on Coney Island's upper tier, this route is located about 80 feet to the right of the hard sport route, Gagger. Start on a blocky ledge beneath the right end of a roof system and to the left of a broken, left-facing corner system. Climb past three bolts to a right-slanting crack/seam. Leave this at bolt seven and climb a series of steep headwalls with good rests in between. Eleven protection bolts total. Somewhat run-out for the 5.8 leader, the protection can be supplemented by carrying a set of Stoppers and a few small cams (a #2 Friend is useful for the final stretch to the anchors), though this is unnecessary for people climbing at harder grades. The climb ends at two Fixe rings at the 120-foot level. A 70-meter rope is needed to descend to the ground from here. There is an intermediate rappel/lowering station (two rings) at bolt six for those with a shorter rope. Three stars, relative to other Boulder Canyon sport routes, for length, steepness, and evenness at the grade.
11 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor with rings. Intermediate rappel/lower station also has two rings. Optional stoppers and small cams will supplement the bolts.

In more ways than one, American ideals have changed since the 1950's. Instead of poodle skirts, girls are wearing booty shorts. Instead of boys asking girls if they want to go steady, boys are asking girls if they'd like to go back to their frat houses.
Moviegoers often see glimpses of the 1950's (or the romanticized version that the movies sell) and these adaptations of history always show smiling faces, neighbors outside walking their dogs, fathers and sons playing catch on their perfectly manicured lawn, and the aroma of a summer barbecue wafting through the air. In a word: suburbia. Obviously, the suburbs still exist, and are still drawing people in for the comfort and the status of this lifestyle, but do the ideals associated with suburbia (or at the very least the ones portrayed in movies) still exist?
This evening, as often happens on a beautiful summer day, I went on a run around my DC-suburban neighborhood. It started off like any other: I passed a neighbor who I smiled and waved at and then I saw that one woman who always walks her dog around 8 o'clock. It wasn't until the final stretch that I felt like I had stepped into a scene from Pleasantville. There it was: the green, freshly cut lawn with a father and son happily throwing a baseball and the savory smell of a nearby barbecue.
Truthfully, it could have been a scene from Pleasantville, or even something more Sci-Fi like a black hole that actually transported me to the 1950's (and I believe that movie would be Back to the Future). It could have been if it weren't for the fact that when I stepped inside my own suburban home I was greeted by the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of New York, with (unfortunately) the booty shorts and frat houses.
Do you love 1950's Americana? Make sure to watch School for Charm and Bettie: the Girl in the Leopard Print Bikini.

Cadet Siobhan shortlisted for South Africa
2:00pm Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News
A CADET from Grove has been named as a regional finalist in this year's CVQO Duke of Westminster Award.
Siobhan Mundy, 18, is one of 24 youngsters to be shortlisted and could win a three-week educational expedition to South Africa.
She said: "I'm pretty happy because when I first went for the award I never thought I would get this far. To be in with a chance to go to South Africa is great."
The former King Alfred's Academy student has been a member of Oxfordshire (The Rifles) Army Cadet Force for six years. She is currently a cadet under officer. She was nominated for the award by an officer after completing a gold Duke of Edinburgh award and for working as a customer service assistant in an Action for Children in Conflict charity shop.
The next stage of the competition is an intensive four-day selection event in Somerset in April, where she will be tested on teamwork, leadership and communication skills.
Miss Mundy, who works part-time at Waitrose in Wantage, said: "It will be quite tough but I'm really looking forward to it because it will be a really great challenge and something to say I've done."
The cadets will be competing to be named as one of nine national finalists, who will all travel to South Africa to carry out charity and safari work.
The award winner will be announced at a lunch at the House of Lords on June 26.

|Prior to this I had only climbed in gyms and practiced rappelling outdoors. What a way to jump in and go big or go home! Ooof, knees hurt on the way down, though.

|A Great Day
Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2013
|Climbed with the Sierra Mountaineering Group (SMG). We had to wait out some bad weather for the first few days but got luck on day 3. Perfect weather and we spent about an hour on top. The views from there are pretty darn incredible.

Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2013
|Climbed with Sierra Mountaineering Group. After waiting for weather and climbing to the Upper Saddle the day before, we summited on a fantastic, cloudless day. The route still had some ice, especially the chimneys, which required the use of an ice tool. The rappel was very exciting. This route is indeed a classic and well worth climbing!

Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2008
|A beautiful peak, but the route is definitely easier than 5.4. There is a lot of hype about this route, but the rock is solid but not so amazing; we roped up but I was scrambling, looking for the technical section; before I realized it I was over it without placing any pieces. Apparently there were especially windy conditions, and a lot of clouds, which meant the downclimb and rap was hard to find. But nonetheless a beautiful peak I will return to, albeit via other routes...

Black pepper isn't a rare or expensive ingredient, and it's not so perishable that it needs to be ground seconds before consumption. Plus, unlike salt, it is not a universal flavor enhancer, and it can easily overpower subtler flavors. So what's the deal with waiters who grind pepper directly onto your plate?
The curiously popular tableside service probably started in the early 20th century.
The pepper mill wasn't even invented until the second half of the 19th century — Peugeot (yes, that Peugeot) began manufacturing its first model in 1874. By the turn of the century, the pepper mill was making its way to refined American tables.
In the 19th century, there had been two kinds of U.S. restaurants: low-end places for working men and high-end French restaurants staffed by impeccably trained waiters. At a place like this, each waiter would be assigned to a single table and would be expected to hover nearby for the entire meal to respond to patrons' needs. Waiters at this time had a lot of power over the quality of a customer's meal: Food was served la carte, and servers determined how much (and what quality) meat and vegetables you got.
But near the beginning of the 20th century, mid-range establishments began appearing to cater to the middle class. These new restaurants innovated the practice of putting your meat and sides on a single plate prepared by the chef. Their role thus diminished, servers had to find new ways to earn their tips — including flourishes like grinding pepper directly onto diners' plates.
Other factors may have contributed to the rise of tableside pepper-grinding, too. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, unscrupulous vendors sold adulterated foodstuffs: milk thinned with water, grass clippings passed off as basil, flour mixed with chalk. (Such tainted products were eventually outlawed by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.) Grinding pepper in front of patrons demonstrated that it was pure and not cut with charcoal.
Fears about charcoal-infused pepper have long faded from the public mind, and it's generally accepted that servers deserve fair compensation even though they no longer personally slice your meat. But pepper grinding has persisted, acquiring a bit of a ridiculous image along the way. Then-New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni wrote a nine-paragraph rant against the practice in a 2006 column. ("How is a diner expected to know whether he or she wants more pepper if a dish hasn't been tasted yet?")
But Bruni's chances of putting a dent in the practice were slim — after all, tableside pepper grinding had already survived the greatest indignity imaginable: Being performed from between Adam Sandler's legs in a 1974 Saturday Night Live sketch.

There is a collective hush around Chiefs WR Jon Baldwin, who was a standout during training camp — especially when Dwayne Bowe was still holding out — but has been a missing man of sorts since. His preseason action was quiet, with a fumble and only one of his eight receptions going longer than nine yards.
In the Week One game against the Falcons, despite the Chiefs throwing the ball 33 times, not a single one went in his direction. He also played only 22 snaps, fewer than any other Chiefs wideout, including Dexter McCluster and Steve Breaston, who are smaller and less talented.
What gives?
We hear Baldwin, of whom head coach Romeo Crennel said is trying to find a role, has yet to instill confidence in his offensive teammates despite Baldwin's obvious physical skills. At some point he'll have to show he can be trusted to make an impact in a game, otherwise he'll be headed toward the dreaded bust label.

By Bill Kirk
---- — BOSTON — The state Supreme Judicial Court yesterday upheld a $20.6 million award to a Colorado man whose wife died in a freak pool accident in an Andover backyard seven years ago.
Robin Aleo, who was 29 at the time of the accident on July 29, 2006, had been visiting Andover with her husband, Michael, and their 15-month-old daughter. That day, they were at the home of William and Sarah Letsky, Michael's uncle and aunt, for a pool party, according to a summary of the case contained in yesterday's ruling.
At some point during the gathering, Aleo climbed up to the top of an inflatable slide the Letskys had purchased online from Toys R Us and slid head-first into the pool. However, as Aleo, who weighed about 145 pounds, reached the bottom of the under-inflated slide, it collapsed. Her head hit the pavement, fracturing two upper cervical vertebrae and knocking her unconscious. She then slid into the water.
Her husband, along with his uncle and another man, pulled her out of the water, administered CPR and called 911. She was airlifted to Brigham and Women's Hospital, where she was placed on a ventilator and diagnosed with a severed spinal cord, according to the summary.
"Doctors advised her family that she would never breath or move on her own again," according to the court document. "At the hospital, Robin awoke for approximately three seconds and told Michael, 'I can't feel anything.'
"The next day, Michael, along with Robins' parents, decided to remove the life support, as Robin previously had stated that she would not want to be kept alive under such conditions."
In 2008, Michael Aleo, represented by Ben Zimmerman of Sugarman and Sugarman PC, sued Toys R Us in civil court, alleging negligence, breach of implied warranty and wrongful death.
An Essex County Superior Court jury found Toys R Us liable for the charges and awarded compensatory damages of $2.6 million. The jury also found Toys R Us "grossly negligent" and awarded punitive damages of $18 million.
Toys R Us appealed the ruling on a number of grounds, challenging certain pretrial rulings, the sufficiency of evidence and the constitutionality of the $18 million award in damages.
The SJC in its ruling yesterday wrote that it supported the jury's findings and rejected the arguments by Toys R Us.
Zimmerman said yesterday that while his client is pleased about the ruling, "in any case like this, it is not going to change what happened or the loss they suffered. The fact that the SJC upheld what the jury found - that his wife was killed due to misconduct by Toys R Us - is some solace for him."
It is unclear whether Toys R Us will appeal the ruling to the United States Supreme Court. The attorney representing Toys R Us, Gregory Parks of the law firm Morgan Lewis in Philadelphia, did not return a phone call. A local attorney working with Parks, John McGivney of Rubin and Rudman, 50 Rowes Wharf, Boston, deferred comment to Parks.
Zimmerman said the jury award and the SJC's decision upholding the award centered around the fact that the product had not been adequately tested before it was brought into the country from China, where it was manufactured.
"We are pleased that today's decision upheld the finding of the jury, and recognized the tremendous and needless loss suffered by the Aleo family," said Zimmerman, who tried the case with his partner Thomas Smith. "It also sends a powerful message to toy retailers across the country that they have a responsibility to ensure the products they import and bring to market are safe for consumers."
He added yesterday, "it's a product that shouldn't have been brought into the country."

When being black has its advantages
It's no secret that Caracas has a high crime rate. The American media has done a good job lately describing how terrible crime has gotten since a certain someone has been president (I wonder who that could be ;-))
Obviously, people are always asking me about the crime situation. My answer is that I have yet to be affected. I know that I live in a large city and crime happens. You take the normal precautions (avoid certain areas at night, jewelry to a minimum, etc.) and you go about your daily life. Just like I didn't hang out in Liberty City or Overtown where drive by shootings are common while I lived in South Florida, I am not a neighborhood regular in Catia and Petare here in Caracas.
This is a topic that many expats have turned into the proverbial dead horse. The last time I spoke about this was with a friend from Austria and then it dawned on me – this blonde hair, blue-eyed European can really stick out when walking the streets in Caracas. Little old brown-skinned me, not so much. Aside from the regular cat calls of "morena" or "negrita", I have yet to even feel someone giving me a funny look.
In the beginning when I would go pick up the kids from school, other parents assumed I was a nanny until they saw me with two little carbon copies of myself. Sometimes when I'm walking back into the building from dropping them off in the morning, I get looks of kindred spirits from housekeepers arriving for a day's work. If some poor soul asks me for directions and they pick up that I'm a foreigner, it's assumed that I'm a student. My husband is often asked by the guys he plays soccer with the name of the restaurant at which he works.
When they see me, they don't see dollar signs – they see a service sector worker or a student, at best. There'd be no point in kidnapping me because my family is probably too poor to pay any ransom. As advised, I don't wear gold jewelry so even mugging me would be a waste of time. I know this rationale probably sounds ludicrous, but they're all the types of crimes that you hear happen very frequently in Caracas.
Hence, I feel pretty safe here because I'm black. Who woulda thunk it?!

Am I a homophobe? Look, I work in show business. I am awash in gay people, as colleagues and as friends. I'm doing Rock of Ages one day, making out with Russell Brand. Soon after that, I'm advocating with Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Cynthia Nixon for marriage equality. I'm officiating at a gay friend's wedding. I'm not a homophobic person at all. But this is how the world now sees me.
I haven't changed, but public life has.
Baldwin walked up to Robert Moses, who was covering the conviction of a woman who was stalking him, and warned the reporter to leave the sidewalk in front of his building.
He started by saying, "You're in my way."
Moses answered, "Any reaction?"
"You're in my way," Baldwin responded.
Baldwin, who had been out walking his dog, then warned Moses to leave the area before he left the building again with his wife and child.
Baldwin then went inside but quickly turned around and came back out of the building. He ordered Moses to acknowledge that he understood what he had said.
Baldwin said, "If you're still here when my wife and kid come out, you're going to have a big problem, you know that."
As he reentered the building, Baldwin turned around again and said, "You are as dumb as you look, you are with Fox, right."
A few hours later, Baldwin confronted Fox 5 reporter Linda Schmidt and demanded an apology from her, falsely accusing her of almost hitting his wife with a microphone.

Seven days after losing away to Southampton, the young Reds conceded the first goal at home to Spurs as the bottom-placed visitors made the brighter start. When United failed to clear Darren McQueen's blocked shot, Josh Onomay was on hand to knock the ball past Pierluigi Gollini in the 15th minute.
Paul McGuinness' team responded well to going behind though, and Jack Barmby was twice unlucky not to score an immediate equaliser, first with a delicate chip and then when he forced a good block from Spurs goalkeeper Luke McGee.
Spurs continued to threaten on the break, and United were fortunate to not be 0-2 down at half-time after Laste Dombaxe fired over from the edge of the penalty area, and Darren McQueen and Alex McQueen also went close.
United began the second half with much more potency, as Donald Love slammed the ball against the post from close range just two minutes after the restart, after James Wilson had fired over. A minute later, and Andreas Periera fired a freekick towards goal that was turned around the post by McGee. The respite would only last thirty seconds for Spurs as the Reds' pressure paid off. Barmby's ball out to Kenji Gorre was well controlled by the young forward, as he held off the attention of Zodel Brown to fire the Reds level from a tight angle on 49 minutes.
Now on level terms, United continued to press forward and again Love came close to getting his name on the scoresheet as his well-struck volley from the edge of the area forced McGee into an excellent save as he clawed the ball around the post.

The healthy fats — found in oily fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and mackerel — optimize messaging between nerve cells in the brain, keeping the brain functioning properly. Getting kids to eat the nutrient-rich foods isn't a fight when they are well seasoned. Annabel Karmel says, "My children and I all love Japanese food, and it is well worth investing in bottles of sake and mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine), as you will want to make this salmon teriyaki over and over again!" Snow peas and sugar snap peas — common accompaniments to Japanese cooking — are particularly good this time of year.

Weelicious's Catherine McCord replaces the beef in the traditional patty with lighter and healthier ground chicken and then jazzes it up with some fresh herbs from the garden to create Middle Eastern chicken burgers. "By incorporating some curry, garlic powder, fresh parsley, and mint into the ground chicken and sauce, you give the ordinary burger a huge burst of unforgettable flavors." She says her family enjoys them off the bun as much as on!

From POPSUGAR Food, this recipe is easier than you think and masks tomatoes with a lot of cheese and fresh flavor. Leave out the jalapeño if your kids aren't into spice. 12 / 20 Soy-Ginger Flank Steak What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Serve your flank steak the way the pros do, and cut it diagonally instead of straight up and down.

I saw this awhile back but I didn't think it was post-worthy. I just recently stumbled upon it again thanks to john, so here you go. Also if you like what you see, feel free to curse yourself with the never-ending loop at shutupwomangetonmyhorse.com/
Note: Chris did indeed post this 3 months ago, but I still like the re-post so it shall stay. Also, congrats Joel on that trolling, I couldn't have done it better myself.
