The majority of coins don't hold much value - a penny is worth just one cent, a nickel five, and a dime ten, but on occasion, the coins that make up your loose change can be worth way more than face value. That's definitely the case for some quarters in circulation that are worth over $2,000. The coins to be on the lookout for are Wisconsin state quarters that came out in 2004. The backs of all of those quarters show a wheel of cheese, a cow, and an ear of corn, but the valuable ones have something particularly special going on with the corn.

Saint Petersburg, FL

Esha Persad was arrested on a battery charge, for hurling a Burrito?!. At her home in St. Petersburg, Persad and her husband got into a fight, apparently because she bought him Taco Bell and McDonald's for his birthday. This led her to throwing two food items at him, a burrito and a soft shell taco. It's possible there was no Big Mac available, depending on what meal she got from McDonalds. The burrito was still on the man's face when police arrived at the scene, but her husband was not injured.

A man who was arrested in Morrilton, Arkansas back in June in connection with a multi-state murder spree now faces new charges. Stacy Drake has been charged with first-degree murder and robbery in connection with the death of 56-year-old Phillip Emerson in El Reno, Oklahoma. Police say he was fatally shot and carjacked on June 14th. Drake is already charged with the double murders of Tara Underwood and Taylor Sharp in Gans, Oklahoma, and faces a new robbery charge in that case for allegedly taking Sharp's wallet. He's also charged with the murder of 62-year-old Russell Andrews in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Doug Gottlieb: “It’s fascinating to me because Nick Sirianni is a very easy and unlikable target. Unless you’re an Eagles fan, I don’t know anybody who is like ‘YOU KNOW WHO I REALLY LIKE?? NICK SIRIANNI! HE’S NOT ANNOYING AT ALL!’... Sirianni takes all the heat and loves being a professional wrestler, and this is sort of what comes with it. I’m not going to give Hurts a pass. That’s because everybody I know in the sport has told me that Jalen Hurts is not easy to deal with. He has concocted and constructed a really, really good public image, but the reality is: he doesn’t read a defense great, he’s not a progressive thrower, and now he has all the power because of the new contract, and he doesn’t have to exactly do what his coach wants him to do.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
