Neil Diamond will donate royalties from his song
"Sweet Caroline," which has been played at every
Boston Red Sox home game for more than a decade,
to the One Fund Boston, the singer said on
Twitter on Wednesday. The song was downloaded
more than 19,000 times this week, with sales up
597. The fund has raised more than 23 million
as of Wednesday. The fund was formed to "help the
people most affected by the tragic events that
occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013. The singer
recorded the song in 1969 as an homage to
Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the late
President John F. Kennedy. It has nothing to do
with the Red Sox. In 2002, new Red Sox management
requested the song become an eighth-inning
staple.

• Have you ever cleaned out your refrigerator or
  pantry and found a really old piece of food? You
  know what Im talking about - Oreo cookies that

  slices of mold-dripping bread, milk that smells
  like it was bottled at the sulfur mine. Usually,
  we have a knack for knowing when to toss away
  food thats about to go bad. But sometimes, we
  completely forget about it until we encounter
  quite a surprise. Thats what happened to David
  Whipple, a Utah native who discovered an old
  hamburger in his coat pocket. How old was that
  burger? Lets just say it was cooked when Bill
  Clinton was president.
