    Because Minnesotans are a completely different breed of people descended from snowmen, this is a video of a group of guys icebergin’ in the middle of winter. What’s icebergin’? Apparently pickaxing and stomping around on a frozen lake until the ice breaks into pieces, then running across them.

    A Hong Kong man has drowned after helping to save a swimmer’s life off the popular Egyptian Red Sea resort city of Hurghada.

    The 40-year-old man, surnamed Choy, had been enjoying a trip with his wife and other travellers on a small island off Hurghada when the incident occurred at around 11am on Tuesday, local agency Wing On Travel announced on Friday.

    “The weather was fine and the water was calm. Then a drowning swimmer shouted for help and that male tour member, as well as other local staff, rushed to join the rescue efforts,” a company spokeswoman said.

    But after helping to save the struggling swimmer’s life, Choy lost his own, she said.

    “The male tour member was found to be unconscious near the shore as he tried to swim back to the beach.”

    It’s time for a radical change in the way the Olympic world picks its host cities.

    It’s time for the sports world to tell the International Olympic Committee that it can no longer bankrupt cities in the name of hosting the Olympics.

    It’s time for a rotation of cities that have already successfully put on the Olympics and have venues already in place to host the Winter and Summer Games, with a new site thrown in every fourth Olympiad.
