Good evening everyone.
Now that we got American Idol out of the way, time for some stories and good reading material.
But before we do that, looks like we got some rain today. Didn't hear how much rain, but I think we needed a bit more rain for it to make a difference. We are already over 5 inches in the hole for the year. And it's only late March. Not good. Now, time for tonight's 10:
1): CBS21 WHP did a story earlier this week on 'Sexting' in where teenagers are sending illicit picture texts (MMS) to each other. However, there is a professor at a Texas university who says, unbelievably, that this is normal. Details on this story from the York Daily Record - York, PA.
2): 28 people are dead in Mississippi after a tornado tears up a town. Story from The Washington Times - Washington, DC.
3): Time now to look at the cost of freedom. 4,262. That is the number of brave men and women who have passed away serving our country in Iraq since the occupation began, 6 years ago. Details from Yahoo! News.
4): For iPhone users like me, this is going to be great news. Oprah Winfrey made it famous and now it was confirmed the SKYPE is coming to the iPhone. More details next week, at a wireless trade show. But for now, here is some details from CNET.com.
5): Alaska's volcano, Mount Redbout erupted 2 times today. And it spewed smoke up 12 miles. Story and amazing pictures from Yahoo! News.
6): President Obama is getting ready to order as many as 4,000 military 'trainers' to go to Afghanistan to help train the security officials. Details from Reuters.
7): Now, we all know the hoopla and extension the federal government gave TV stations for the DTV switch. Well, the coupon fund is flowing again, and you have until June 12th to get converted. Now, the federal government wants organizations to help get the boxes installed. Story from USA Today - Alexandria, VA. Seriously, how hard is to do this? Mark my words, stupidity might be awarded again come May, if they delay it ... again. i hope not.
8) A Montana man pleads NOT GUILTY ... his crime ... his 11th DUI. Details from KFBB-TV Great Falls, MT. Seriously, how stupid are some people? And why can't they just take his drivers license away??
9): Call it the great coin caper ... a man's collection of $5,000 worth of coins that he has saved for over 10 years was stolen. And the hunt is on to find whoever took it. Story from The Morning Call - Allentown, PA.
And finally ...
10): The building that is being built in NYC, the Freedom Tower, has a new name. It will now be referred to as The One World Trade Center. Details from WRIC-TV - Petersburg, VA. Two reactions to this story ... First, why not do this from the very beginning. And second, someone George W. Bush and former NYC mayor who repeats 9/11 every other word is crying, because him and his freedom fighters were hoping for that original name.
Hope you have a great night.
