In Cape Town, South Africa, an ongoing conflict between people and baboons has escalated to the point that local authorities are considering culling 117 animals from four troops, roughly a quarter of the local population. Local conservationists argue killing them isn’t the answer.

In today's NFL the old tough mudders have been replaced by expensive, high-performance, oft-injured racehorse athletes. In such a league, it's news when a first-string player can actually perform on any given Sunday. Sigh. [No disrespect to Stafford; he's a bit of a throwback tough guy.]
