The death of Julie Harris and other eye-catching headlines
Five time Tony Award winning actress Julie Harris has passed away at the age of 87. While she had roles in the movie "East of Eden" and on television's "Knots Landing", she loved the stage.
The Little League team from Chula Vista, CA will play the team from Japan in the finals of the Little League World Series on Sunday. Many were hoping the team from Tijuana would beat Japan to set up a match against their neighbors to the North. The game will be shown on ABC, which means Time-Warner Cable subscribers can watch it.
Hundreds gathered today at Leimert Park to remember the 50th anniversary of the "March on Washington" and the famous "I Have a Dream" speech by the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Donald Trump is being sued for $40 million by the New York Attorney General, over "Trump University" which is being described as having engaged in "persistent fraud."
A study shows that single men only wash the sheets for their bed an average of four times per year. Reporter's note: I always washed mine at least every other week. Go figure.
Vince Young may be an NFL quarterback once again, albeit a backup for Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers. Looks like he beat out Graham Harrell for the job.
Yum Brands, owners of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken are now 2nd largest American employer. That KFC is the largest fast food chain in China, and that Taco Bell has added 15,000 jobs due to the popularity of their Doritos Locos taco are just two of the interesting factoids to be found in the new list of America's top 10 employers.
Did he or didn't he? A man claiming he served in the U.S. Army honorably and was discharged when his enlistment ran out has been labeled as a deserter by the Army. He has no documents to prove his claims. Stay tuned.
A former Weather Channel meteorologist is claiming that when NBC bought the cable network she used to work for, she ended up losing her job due to her continuing military service as a Captain in the reserves. She is suing her former employer. FYI, unless she was on active duty for a protracted period, federal law almost certainly makes it illegal for her employer not to renew her contract based on her refusal to leave the reserves.
North Korea is claiming that U.N. sanctions are unfairly preventing them from finishing construction of a ski resort for the nation's ruling elite.
A 60 year old sportswriter entered a police station parking lot, called 911 to report a suicide there, and then shot himself to death. In addition, he spent a year creating a blog to describe why he was doing what he was doing, and to document the journey of that final year. Yahoo took the site down even though he'd prepaid for five years of hosting, but you can find it if you really want to. I'm not posting any links to any mirror sites. I've read a good portion of it (I read extremely fast, there's a lot of stuff there) and while I find it though-provoking, I'm not sure it's healthy to be reading it. Since I'm not healthy, it's okay for me. :)
There is a woman out there who is taking social media to a whole new level. She is travelling the country to visit all 600 of her Facebook "friends" in person.
