Herbie J Pilato

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.

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.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

A Riverside County all-star Little League team is one win away from making it to Williamsport. Tonight's game, Eastvale vs. Hawaii, will determine which team will head to the Little League World Series. Eastvale won its first two games in the West Region Tournament. Tuesday, Eastvale beat Hawaii 11-3 in an afternoon game with 102-degree heat. Eastvale is 15-1 in four tournaments this summer. It qualified for the West Region Tournament by winning the 10-team Southern California State Tournament, winning its final seven games in the double-elimination tournament after losing its opening game. Despite tonight's outcome, the Eastvale Little Leaguers have already etched their names in Southern California history by being the first team in Riverside County ever to make the regional Little League Baseball tournament.   The championship game of the Little League Baseball West Region tournament takes place Aug. 9 at 6 p.m., and visitors can watch the game in person for free at Al Houghton Stadium in San Bernardino. The game will be televised on ESPN.
