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.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

Since being traded, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Austin Hays has solidified his role as an everyday starter. Initially, it was anticipated that Hays would platoon with Brandon Marsh in left field. However, a day after the trade, Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated Hays would be the starting left fielder. So far Marsh has been primarily playing center field instead of platooning with Johan Rojas. Nick Castellanos being in right field most days has been the most stable part of the Phillies outfield this season. A Hays-Marsh-Castellanos outfield going from left to right will be the standard alignment.

For more than 160 years, Macy's has been much more than a department store. It's a cornerstone of American shopping, with generations eager to buy everything from back-to-school clothes to holiday gifts. But now it is a surprise that the store has been forced to close, leaving millions to wonder how such a powerful and fast-moving brand could be defeated. Macy's, the US retail giant, now faces a difficult future. Signs of trouble have been showing for several years, including declining traffic, aging stores, and an inability to keep up with a fast-paced retail environment. However, experts say the real story is corporate mismanagement, intense competition, and a lack of innovation.
