RAPINOE CROSS
DATE: JULY 10, 2011
What made the moment: While the
USWNT's 2019 title is surely fresher in
your minds, the most mind-boggling
play the American women made this
decade came in the form of a stoppage-
time stunner in the 2011 World Cup
quarterfinal against Brazil.
With just seconds to go before the ref-
eree ended the match with three whis-
tles, Megan Rapinoe struck a brilliant
ball from midfield that perfectly found
the forehead of Abby Wambach, saving
the United States hopes of a champion-
ship in dramatic fashion.

U.S. National Park:

T he words “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People” stretch across the north-
ern entrance of our nation’s first national park, Yellowstone.
According to the Department of Interior, the goal of the National Park Service is,
and has always been, to keep our wild places protected and unimpaired for future
generations. To that end, more than 400 areas and 84 million acres spanning all 50
states and several unincorporated territories of the United States, protect America’s
greatest natural treasures. With 61 of those wilderness areas toting National Park
designation, it can be tricky trying to pick which park to visit.
So, to help you determine which parks should be higher on your bucket list, we
ranked each park based on their overall accessibility, facilities and accommodations,
trails and attractions, crowds, and, of course, overall ‘wow’ factor, which we meas-
ured by photo ops and stunning scenery.
Keep in mind, it’s almost impossible to say that one is better than the next — there’s
truly something special about each one of our national parks.

The term “O.K.” derives from President Martin
Van Buren (1782-1862) who was known as “Old
Kinderhook” because he was raised in Kinder-

support Van Buren’s campaigns.

ROBIN WILLIAMS SIGNS AUTOGRAPHS
AND TELLS STORIES AT A HOMELESS
SHELTER IN BOSTON, 1988.
Funnyman Robin Williams was known as an off
the wall comedian who could bounce between im-
personations and incredibly dramatic stories that
could bring audiences to tears (Good Will Hunting
anyone?). But he was also someone who cared
deeply about people who had less than him. Ac-
cording to Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, Williams
made sure to come down to the local homeless
shelter to entertain anyone around while signing
autographs. He told WBZ-TV:
He came down to the Long Island Shelter, which

Settle in for a ten-course tasting menu boasting a contemporary style that blends

Cuisine: Japanese/Contemporary
"Nisei" refers to the American-born children of Japanese immigrants, which
Chef David Yoshimura is; and the synthesis of that heritage forms the basis of
this cuisine. Dining here is an elegant affair, but there's no risk of stuffiness—
the service team is personable and an '80s power ballads playlist indicates that
no one is taking things too seriously.

Cuisine: Contemporary
Chef Seth Stowaway puts his heart, soul and even his nickname (osito means

stage. The multicourse tasting menu is served at an expansive communal table
and changes with the seasons.

Cuisine: American
This modern American dining room exudes all the Wine Country vibes, and
just so happens to boast the largest collection of Napa wines in the world. Chef

Regardless, it's impossible to think Phillips tried to land with his full body weight
on Herbert. Or that he could have done anything differently. And still, it was flagged.
Phillips let out his frustrations on Twitter after the game. The league will decide
on a potential fine for the hit later in the week.
NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay was like everyone else watching at home: He
couldn't believe it was a penalty.
"This is a normal tackle," McAulay said. "I just don't see how this should be a
foul."
You didn't need to be a former NFL referee to figure out it was a normal tackle.
Overall, it's smart for the NFL to try to protect quarterbacks. The game is a lot
worse when quarterbacks are injured. But there are times it leads to some bad calls,
and Sunday night was one of the worst.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, if I’m about to be fined $15,000 for
“roughing the passer” then there needs to be some accountability and a review of
what constitutes that penalty.
