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.

Annoying Tech geek Milo of 24, finally acted heroically and satisfied those annoyed by his presence- by dying a heroic death when CTU was raided by communist terrorists on the time's up thriller.

Actor Eric Balfour claims he asked to leave early- to finish a cop pilot that maybe picked up by CBS. Also, since 24's ratings are down significantly this season, due to repetitive story lines and odd story developments, So....

"Jack's going out in the field and they're moving locations. It's time for a new look and a change of scenery. That's another reason I thought Milo needed to get out of there."

Plus, the actor felt constrained by his A-holish nerd, & being sexually being double crossed in an emotional threesome by Chloe And Morris. "It didn't give me much room to show my colors," said Balfour.
