Excerpt:

Although they lost the NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead in Sunday’s race at Phoenix and enter this weekend 20 points behind leader Brad Keselowski, they don’t need to change their approach this week. There’s nothing Jimmie and Chad can do that’s any different than they did last week than they did the week before. They are prepared to sit on the pole and win the race each and every time they show up. Would that be different if the shoe was on the other foot? If they were in Brad Keselowski’s situation then they would probably race a little bit differently. Knowing that you don’t have to win, then you race smart. Just like we’re going to see Brad do. Right now Jimmie and Chad have to prepare like they’re behind, but there’s nothing else they can do.

When one thinks of California, images of gunfire, booby traps and deadly cartels don’t usually come to mind. However, the Discovery Channel is aiming to expose the state’s dark side in the new series “Pot Cops,” which follows a drug enforcement unit in Humboldt County, Calif. who work to bring down both cartels and the “average Joe” growers operating in the area. And that’s no easy task. “The drug trafficking organizations that generally come from Mexico will sometimes put booby traps coming [for] people that are trying to steal or for law enforcement trying to eradicate their crops. A drug cartel is a serious criminal organization, there’s a lot of money to be made and when there’s a lot of money to be made, there is a higher potential for violence,” SWAT team member, Deputy Greg Musson – who stars in the show – told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column.

Brian Mullen for NPR

He searches for deer ticks-- poppy seed-sized skin burrowers-- in the woods of southern Rhode Island. These are the teeny-tiny carriers of Lyme disease, an ailment that can lead to signs ranging from nasty rashes to memory loss. Mather's not having much difficulty discovering deer ticks. In fact, he just might be the very best deer tick collector in the nation. He caught 15,000 of them last year. His success suggests a growing trouble.

Excerpt:

"I'm different," Sanderson stated. "I have found that I really am different. There's nobody like me. And not that it's good or bad.". Written with Kevin Shea, guide goes from a spur-of-the-moment cash purchase of a Rolls-Royce to sleeping under a bridge and stealing bottles of liquor. Called the Turk, Sanderson gained the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's leading novice in 1967-68. He played for the Bruins, Philadelphia Blazers (WHA), New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks prior to ending his NHL occupation with a quick stop in Pittsburgh in 1977-78. He had 202 goals, 250 helps and 911 penalty minutes in 598 NHL games. In his heyday, he might score, get rid of charges and fight. Far from the ice, the flamboyant Sanderson partnered with Joe Namath in a bar prior to beginning his very own string of dining establishments.
