Aurora awards Medal of Honor for first time in 5 years, to 4 officers
Police officers risk their health just by showing up for their jobs every day. They tear knee ligaments chasing suspects, get bit by people they're arresting, slip on ice at crime scenes and are hit by cars while investigating accidents. And then there are the cases of extreme risks -- life-threatening risks -- like the ones four Aurora officers took last year that earned them the city's prestigious Medal of Valor. Chief Kristen Ziman bestowed the medals Wednesday to Ryszard "Rick" Drozdowski, Bradley Vonhoff, Colin Griffin and Matthew Huber for their work in two dangerous situations.

41 things you might not know about Tom Brady
Since his meteoric rise from backup quarterback to Super Bowl champion in the 2001 season, Tom Brady has been the franchise player of the New England Patriots. He’s won five Super Bowls, four Super Bowl MVPs, two NFL MVPs, and made 13 Pro Bowls. But most fans are more than aware of these accolades.

We have to weigh that impact and the duration of that impact, for the guys returning in this deal.” The calculations worked for Dave Dombrowski. The Red Sox president of baseball operations recognized his team needed an upgrade at second base — where Eduardo Nunez has struggled to replace Dustin Pedroia — and found his man in Kinsler, “a winning-type player.” “We think he makes us a better ballclub, because he goes into second base and is in a spot where he can play basically every day,” Dombrowski said. … [Read more...] about 4 things to know about new Red Sox 2nd baseman Ian Kinsler
