We all have our favorite places to shop, and we keep going back to the stores because we like the products, the prices, and the customer service. This is especially true when it comes to our preferred grocery store, as most of us do food shopping on a weekly basis.

The girl’s mother, Denise Balbaneda, and stepfather, Gerald Gonzalez, 40, were arrested for failing to seek medical help sooner for the girl during the four days while she was “mentally and physically incapacitated and non-responsive,” the sheriff said.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law.

One day, we might be able to tell our kids and grandkids that we used to go to a place called a shopping mall to purchase things in person. Most of us are familiar with the mall setups: you have your anchor stores such as Macy's, JCPenny, Sears and others, then you have the stores that make up the inner-workings of the mall as well.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
