France was less than an inch away from enforcing overtime in the Paris Olympics gold-medal game against Team USA on Sunday. With a second left and the hosts trailing 67-64, France's Gabby Williams drained a shot that would have tied the game if she hadn't stepped over the three-point line. The heartbreak notwithstanding, Williams had a stellar Olympics campaign that saw her win a silver medal, the Best Defensive Player Award and a spot in the tournament's All-Star Five.Williams' impressive showing in Paris has caught the attention of many players and coaches in the WNBA, with growing calls for her to...

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.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.
