TGIF headlines that caught my eye
Santa Ana winds continue to whip fires around the Southland, but relief from those winds appears to be coming tonight. It would be a welcome development for fire crews worn to a frazzle over the past few days.
Facebook, Google, other internet giants and business interests combined to end attempts to pass a consumer-minded bill in the California state legislature that would allow people to discover what information data-miners maintain on them.
A 24 year old Santa Ana man was sentenced to 16 years in state prison for a DUI accident that took the life of a 2 year old. After striking the child, the child's mother and a one year old daughter, Angel Alberto Cruz Perez fled the scene.
Eighth grade girls attending a dance at a middle school in New Jersey will have to have at least one strap on their dress, after the school's ban on strapless dresses was upheld by the school board.
Lindsay Lohan is coming full circle, back at the Betty Ford center, where her stint in rehab back in 2010 did not go swimmingly.
Tennis legend Jimmy Connors (one of my sports heroes when I was young, and the one time I got to hit with him was an amazing moment) has a new memoir and he is claiming that his then fiancee, Chris Evert had an abortion in the mid 1970s.
Jeff Hanneman, who played guitar for Slayer, died of apparent liver failure, although whether or not the necrotizing fascitis he contracted from a spider bite two years ago was a factor remains unclear.
Bank of America reported that their first quarter's profit fell by 31% over last year, and there are reports that the banking titan may face as much as $60 billion in losses due to lawsuits over deteriorating mortgage securities.
California may have to relocate 3,000 inmates who are at high risk of contracting "valley fever".
A bat owned by Mickey Mantle is up for auction. What makes this bat special is that x-rays reveal it is "corked". Corked bats are illegal. Did the Yankees great cheat?
If you're trying to cut calories at Burger King, remember that their hand-spun shakes have more fat in them than two of their hamburgers.
Apparently Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane likes IMAX. He just spent $1 million to install an IMAX theater in his home.
Mother's day may be a little rough for Kobe Bryant. He and his mother are about to face off in court over memorabilia he left at her home that she was trying to auction off, in order to buy a new home in Nevada. His lawyer filed suit, the owner of the auction firm that had advanced her nearly 1/2 million dollars has counter-sued and it's about to get ugly.
A 77 year old homeless man in Los Angeles managed to save up $250 and promptly donated to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.
