Cooper says she faces a choice. She receives $909 a month in Social Security. After her bills, she has $289 left, plus the $100 she now pays for storage. She could spend that money to move into subsidized housing, but if she did, then she would be nearly broke: little money for food, no money to give at Sunday services, no money to buy her grandchildren gifts and no money to give to others in need - things she does on a regular basis. Now that her health has improved and her back is stronger, she hopes she can go back...
...foam. At Mavericks, you have a long ride - over a minute - and you find yourself dancing with the massive power of nature," says Clark, now 52. For years, Clark tried to spread the word that Mavericks existed, but the pros scoffed. The common assumption was that really big waves broke only in Hawaii.

U.S. Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, meanwhile, introduced a bill to halt the potential spread of the aggressive fish and develop a strategy to close the waterways...
...game where the Crimson never trailed and led by as much as 28 points in the second half, it is fair to say that Harvard hardly broke a sweat, winning 66-40 against Penn (1-18, 0-5 Ivy). The Crimson rose above .500 after a dominating performance against the Quakers, and it was thanks to a solid three-point shooting effort that Harvard was able to distance itself from its opponent. The Crimson made 10-of-20 three-pointers, while Penn was not able to hit any in 15 shots from behind...
