'Take the Money and Run': Someone actually cracks under the fake pressure

So the premise of "Take the Money and Run" is that a pair of people get a briefcase with $100,000 inside. They have an hour to hide it anywhere in their city. Then some real investigators have 48 hours to find the money.

If they find it, the investigators keep it. If it stays hidden, the pair keeps it. The rules of the investigation are that the investigators get access to the pair's cellphones, any receipts they acquire during the hiding period and the GPS coordinates from their vehicle.

The premiere pair were the Bustamante brothers Raul and Paul in San Francisco. They drove around to a bunch of locations, called a variety of people as decoys and ultimately buried the briefcase in Lafayette Park.

After the hide the money, the investigators treat this as a real investigation, which actually surprises me. They decide that Raul is the Alpha and Paul is the weak link, which turns out to be totally true. Paul is a terrible, terrible liar and he's getting so nervous. Dude, relax! This isn't real.

Then the investigators call the guys' mom and she just gives up the third brother's address. The investigator straight-up says, "Paul and Raul can't come to the phone, I'm calling for them. They want to go visit their brother Rob for his birthday, but they don't know his address" and she just gives it up. You're a fortress, mom. Well done.

Meanwhile, the other investigators are playing Paul like a violin. He's a weak-ass mama's boy and he is crumbling on the fake heist TV show. Nut up, dude! Get it together. Seriously, I hope this guy watches this and feels deeply shamed.

He absolutely cracks under the "pressure" because he "wants to go home." It's 48 HOURS! For $100,000! And you have like 18 hours left! What is wrong with this guy? He now straight-up just tells them where the case is. W.T.F.?!

This is embarrassing. The investigators find the case with 17 hours to go. Because stupid Paul gave them up so he could go back to his mama's house.

Serena Williams gets emotional and cries after win at Wimbledon

Serena Williams called the past year disastrous.

Rewind back to the constant nagging foot problems which led to the tennis star undergoing surgery which later led to a life-threatening blood clot in her lungs. News that Serena Williams suffered from a pulmonary embolism was the final blow to Serena Williams, who suffered a series of medical setbacks since winning Wimbledon in 2010.

The 13-time Grand Slam champion was expected to miss up to a year so you can understand why Serena Williams was reduced to tears after defeating France’s Aravane Rezai in the first round of Wimbledon.

“I usually don’t cry…but it’s just been so hard,” Serena Williams told reporters covering the tournament. “I never dreamt I would be here right now. And then to win. I just wanted to win at least one match here.”

“It’s been a disaster year, but I’ve been praying,” Williams said. “To be able to come back at Wimbledon is pretty awesome. I didn’t expect to play. And I didn’t expect to even do anything. So I’m just excited. I’ve never cried with joy for anything.”

Women’s sports are notoriously under covered by sports sections, but this is truly one of the best stories going on this summer. Serena Williams rebounding from a near life-threatening and career-threatening series of medical issues is equally as interesting as Tiger Woods attempting to come back from his injuries.

Both can make history, both have dominated their sports from a competitive and cultural perspective, both make headlines for their lives outside of their respective sports — of course Tiger’s headlines haven’t always been so positive.

Canadians to board Gaza flotilla expect federal help

Canadians joining a maritime convoy to bring aid to Palestinians are counting on federal government help if the mission goes awry.

But Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has already denounced the effort to visit the Gaza Strip — which is under a naval blockade by Israel — as "provocative."

The first mission by the international fleet last year ended in bloodshed. Nine people were killed and 45 injured after Israeli soldiers boarded a Turkish ship.

Organizers insist they are not transporting arms to the Palestinians but Israel has already indicated it will stop this year's effort from getting through the blockade.

Among the Canadians are Manon Masse of Quebec solidaire, a small left-wing provincial party, and Marie-Eve Rancourt of the Quebec league of human rights and freedoms.

They insisted Friday that the trip is necessary and the travellers' actions are peaceful.

But Rancourt acknowledged the mission is risky and said she expects she might end up in jail. 

"What we're doing is legal," she said. "Killing people who are delivering humanitarian aid — that's illegal and, frankly, it's immoral."

Both women said they expect the Canadian government to intervene and protect its citizens if there is trouble.

They criticized the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, which they accused of doing nothing for Palestinians.

"We're not going there to get shot at," Masse said. "But if anything were to happen to us, we would turn to our governments. All governments have a responsibility to protect."

Rancourt said the Canadian government would have several responsibilities to fulfill in case protesters are arrested, including providing diplomatic and consular services.

"If the Canadian government doesn't work to free us in case of imprisonment or to insist that our rights be respected, it will be responsible," Rancourt said.

Other Canadians setting sail on the Tahrir as part of Freedom Flotilla 2 are Robert Lovelace, a former chief of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation and now a Queen's University professor and filmmaker John Greyson.

Beside the Canadians, there will also be delegates from Australia, Belgium, Denmark and Germany.

They say that humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory is at a trickle and insist the blockade is illegal and isolating, resulting in a humanitarian crisis.

The vessel, which will carry medicine and medical supplies, will leave from Greece early next week in a convoy of 10 ships.

State officials tour St. John's

While construction crews moved throughout the steel structure, nailing and drilling, St. John's Inc. Chief Operating Officer David Karlin guided a tour of public officials through the half-finished facility Wednesday afternoon.

"What we're constructing isn't an efficient model," he said. "It's a better care model."

Karlin was joined by Shawn Sullivan, secretary of Kansas Department on Aging; Susan Fout, commissioner of community programs; Joe Ewart, commissioner of licensure, certification and evaluation; and Sen. Allen Schmidt, D-Hays.

Rooms in the new nursing home will be more than double the size of the existing rooms at St. John's Hays nursing home.

With more than 80,000 square feet of new construction, almost entirely devoted to resident living space, each private room will be more than 800 square feet per person. The new facility, with 72 private and 12 semi-private rooms arranged in neighborhoods, will connect to St. John's assisted living, which will be renovated inside and out. Some services, such as kitchen services, will be consolidated.

Each neighborhood will have living spaces with fireplaces, kitchenettes, screened-in porches and a saloon or ice cream shop.

"What we're doing is creating a home," he said. "Building a place they will be very comfortable in ... doing everything possible to eliminate the feel of an institution and give them back their home."

Construction for the facility, which is projected to be complete in March, is estimated between $12.5 million and $13 million.

Owned by Wichita-based Via Christi Senior Services, both the St. John's Hays and Victoria campuses will be consolidated into the new building. Karlin said St. John's officials are "in conversations with potential buyers for the Victoria property."

Although the new facility will employ 12 fewer full-time employees, Karlin said, "There will be more hours of employees devoted to residents each day.

"We will need more nursing employees in the new model than we currently employ in all three facilities."

After touring the St. John's construction site, Kansas Department on Aging Secretary Shawn Sullivan took a few moments to discuss the reshaping of Kansas' Medicaid program he and the state's other cabinet secretaries have been tasked with by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Sullivan, who served as a nursing home administrator in Atwood and Lyons, said he is aware of the challenges facing rural Kansas regarding health care options for elderly.

"We're looking at every available alternative to figure out how we can save money or cut costs," he said. "From my particular population of seniors, we're looking to do that by reducing the percentage of seniors we have in nursing homes."

Another cost-reducing option being considered is reducing hospitalizations and emergency room visits and "doing a better job of coordinating care," he said.

Coordination of care could involve a managed care system where a care coordinator would assist seniors with chronic illness issues and help them to remain in their own homes.

One avenue that possibly could be used to deliver medical case management, according to Sullivan, would be the 11 Area Agencies on Aging throughout the state.

Union Cabinet reshuffle on cards?

An expansion of the Union Cabinet and reshuffle of the ministry and appointment of some Governors and top bureaucrats in some of the key ministries are expected to take place later this month.

Sources said the changes may take place once Prime Minister Manmohan Singh undertakes the process of consultation with Congress President Sonia Gandhi after her return from a holiday this week-end.

The talk in ruling party circles is that the exercise could take place later this month or early July, ahead of of the monsoon session of Parliament.

The possibility of reshuffle has brightened after the victory of Mamata Banerjee, who became the Chief Minister of West Bengal, and resigned as Railway Minister at the Centre.

There is speculation that her party colleague Mukul Roy, who has been given additional charge of Minister of State in the Railway, will be elevated to the Cabinet rank in the Railway ministry.

Ministers like Kapil Sibal are holding more than one portfolio. While there are some vacancies including that created by the resignation of A Raja in the wake of the 2G spectrum scam and Prithviraj Chavan, who became Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

There is also talk of appointment of Governors with some incumbent holding the post in more than one state like Rajasthan.

In Tamil Nadu, S S Barnala has far outlasted his tenure as Governor of the state and the Centre may be looking at at a new candidate.

In the bureaucracy, Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai is retiring this month end while Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar and Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao will retire next month.
