WIN CASH BY HELPING OTHERS From PRNewswire-- The North Face today challenged people across the country to get outside, and take someone with them. Launching today on The North Face Facebook page and TheNorthFace.com, Role Models is an online pledge where people commit to taking someone outdoors this summer, helping to start a global movement of outdoor exploration. "If you've never had anyone show you how to tie a safe figure eight knot for climbing, set up a tent, or even understand how much water you need for an overnighter, getting outside for the first time can be daunting," said Ann K., director of Outdoor Exploration for The North Face. "Our goal with Role Models is to empower all of those outdoor enthusiasts to share their passion and their knowledge to create a new generation of explorers. Think about who taught you an appreciation for the outdoors, then pay it forward." By taking the Role Models pledge and sharing photos, you'll be entered to win The North Face gear that will help you get outdoors more often. The North Face will also be donating $1 per pledge (up to $10,000) to the Children & Nature Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting Nature Deficit Disorder. "We teach our kids manners, to be kind to others – always leading by example. We have a responsibility to be Role Models for them in the outdoors as well, because if they don't learn a passion for exploration or an appreciation for the world's wild places from us, who will they learn it from?" said Kit DesLauriers, world-renowned skier and mother of two. The North Face athletes have pledged to be Role Models this summer and are part of the Role Models Clinic Tour, traveling to The North Face and REI stores across the country through the fall to give tips and advice on how to get outside as a family.

BEST FRIEND IN MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS THANKS SECURITY GUARD.
(Exclusive.)

A Latino, McRoberts security guard- at the Oscars (known only as Frank,) ended up helping the wife of actor and current day manager of the Kodak theatre, Jay Thomas.

The night of the big event, the woman's wife was dress impeccably. She got lost and needed to use the bathroom. The guard quickly, told her where to go and how to get back to the proceedings.

At the end of the event, Thomas and his wife walked back by- the metal detector where "Frank" was working. Thomas announced himself to the guard and, re-thanked him for helping his wife.

Weirdly, just an hour prior to this, a white male, Vegas lounge singer type- was thrown out by the cops. As he passed by a male, African American guard said, something about not being thrown out because of drugs.
