TOM JENSEN/FOX SPORTS NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, taken by official NASCAR photographer Darryl Moran (Photo credit: Wikipedia) February 18, 2001. Every NASCAR fan remembers where they were when they first got the news: Dale Earnhardt had died in the final turn of the final lap at Daytona. Even today, 13 years after he died, those words are painful to process. Whether you loved Earnhardt or loathed him -- and there were plenty of fans in both camps -- he was a larger than life character: Bold, cocky, talented, fiercely loyal to those close to him and indestructible. Or so we... Continue reading

By Elana Gordon, WHYY FEB 14, 2014 What can’t librarians do? Many are now becoming health insurance guides.

THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT a blog by SOLOMON JONES Drug abuse doesn't begin with a needle in one's arm, like it reportedly ended for Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

One that we, as a society, must tread carefully. A few weeks ago, when Philadelphia City Councilman Jim Kenney introduced a bill that would decriminalize low-amount marijuana possession, allowing police officers to issue a summons...

The terrorists destroyed 17 transformers and did so much damage that the power station was shut down for a month. And it only took them 19 minutes of shooting to do it.
