Half Dome climber from San Ramon falls to death

A 26-year-old woman from San Ramon fell 600 feet to her death last Sunday while climbing the perilous summit cables on Yosemite National Park's Half Dome amid stormy, wet weather.



Hayley LaFlamme, her sister and two friends had reached the top of the massive escarpment and were just past the midpoint of the descent around noon when LaFlamme apparently tripped and lost her grip on the cables. She slid and tumbled down the almost vertical granite slope to the rocks below. Her body was recovered by search teams later that day.



Near the base of Half Dome, a sign reads: "If a thunderstorm is anywhere on the horizon DO NOT PASS BEYOND THIS SIGN. Lightning has struck Half Dome every month of the year." LaFlamme's death is still under investigation. It is not known whether she and her group were experienced hikers or had the proper equipment for the climb, Kari Cobb, spokeswoman for Yosemite said.

U.S. Congressman Apologizes to Obama for ‘tar baby’ reference

An apology from U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn was sent to the White House in relation to a comment he made Friday during an interview with a Denver radio station.



During the interview about Obama's budget policies, the Colorado Republican said that being linked to President Barack Obama would be like touching a tar baby.



Tar baby is defined in Merriam-Webster's dictionary as something from which it is nearly impossible to extricate oneself; it has also long been used as a derogatory term for blacks.



Because of this, Lamborn is taking serious heat from several angles especially from the black community. Monday evening, Lamborn's office sent a news release saying the congressman had sent a personal letter to the US President apologizing for using a term some find insensitive. The release said Lamborn is confident that President Obama will accept his heartfelt apology.

Gabrielle Giffords Voted for Debt Limit Deal

Six months after being shot and critically wounded during a constituent event in her home district in January during an attempted assassination attempt, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords made a surprise return to the House floor on Monday to vote in favor of an agreement to raise the debt limit.

She entered the House chambers through a side door while her colleagues were voting on a concession to raise the national debt ceiling. Her arrival prompted applause on the Democratic side of the chamber, which gradually spread through the House.

Giffords voted “yes” on the bill, which drew new applause as a green “Y” appeared next to her name on the House’s back wall. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took the microphone and called the congresswoman, who is still recovering from her injuries, “the personification of courage.”

Covering Aunt Britney’s Latest Hit

Maddie Briann Aldridge, pop legend Britney Spears’ 3 year-old niece might be following in her famous aunt’s footsteps, as the precious toddler’s video on YouTube shows how she chanted Spears’ latest hit, “Up N’Down”.

The pop star tweeted “OMG! Check out my niece Maddie covering Aunt Britney’s Up N Down. Sooooo adorable!” with a link to the video of her niece’s adorable karaoke session.

Maddie maintained her innocence by clutching a Barbie doll throughout her rendition and botching some of Britney’s lyrics and instead of singing, “I know you want me like kids want candy,” the mini songstress-in-training went with, “I know that kids want candy.”
