Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

Many of us are guilty of being disrespectful towards Native Americans without even realizing it. We use thoughtless phrases, recite flawed history, and make assumptions we shouldn't.

15 Things You Can Do To Be More Respectful of Native Americans

You can read Bradford Morrow on Poe’s Tamerlane here. Auctions are unpredictable beasts. If you approach them thinking you know how they will behave, you do so naively. Some lots sell far higher than expected, others much lower, and there’s often no explaining why. Competition can be furious as the auctioneer fields bids from potential buyers on the phone, online, and from collectors and dealers in the salesroom. And then, sometimes all three platforms stall out and a rarity like Ernest Hemingway’s first book, Three Stories & Ten Poems (1923), untrimmed and unopened in its fragile glassine jacket, gets “bought in”—auction-speak for fails to sell.

What’s worth more than the rarest book in American literature? The answer may (not) surprise you.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.

A Minnesota man who once fought for the Islamic State group in Syria after becoming radicalized expressed remorse and wept in open court Thursday as he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Abelhamid Al-Madioum, 27, cooperated with federal authorities ahead of Thursday's hearing, which prosecutors factored into their recommendation for a lower sentence than the statutory maximum of 20 years.
