Saavak in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn (1982) and sealed her stardom with her Emmy-winning performance as Rebecca Howe in the last six seasons of Cheers (NBC, 1982-1993). This is her story.

‘This is a game changer.’ Ordering off the kid’s menu comes with a certain set of expectations. Small portions, lower prices—possibly an age restriction—but generally, nothing too off-base as far as ordering food.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

More than 1.5 million workers, or roughly 28% of North Carolina's workforce, earn less than $17 per hour, according to new data from Oxfam. Why it matters: This figure is notably higher than the national average of 23.2%, with Oxfam suggesting that North Carolina’s decision not to raise its minimum wage has contributed to the disparity.

The Lowcountry is home to lots of history and culture, and some of it is disappearing today. Praise houses were first established in the Lowcountry sea islands on St. Helena Island’s many plantations as places to meet and worship. Since there were few formal church buildings on St. Helena Island, most of the island’s slave inhabitants could only walk or ride to the main church on Sunday mornings, if at all.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction
