The Ten Oldest Bars in the US
I am proud to say that I got plastered (many times over when I worked for the US Treasury Dept) at the Old Ebbit Grill, number 4 on the list of the Ten Oldest Bars in the US.

Diamond thieves pull off $100 million heist
Armed robbers pulled off one of the world's biggest jewellery heists at a famed Paris store, making off with 85 million euros (107 million dollars) in diamonds and valuables, officials said Friday. A gang of four thieves -- two of them disguised as women -- on Thursday stole nearly all the jewels on display at the Harry Winston boutique just off the Champs-Elysees avenue, which attracts a wealthy international clientele.

Afterworld
I got hooked on this online SciFi series, Afterworld. I like Post-Apocalyptic stories and always fantasize what I would do in a similar situation. After travelling to New York City on a business trip, Russell Shoemaker wakes to find all electronic technology dead and more than 99% of the human race missing. Driven by a need to discover the truth and determined to return to his family, he embarks on a journey to his home in Seattle, while recording and telling all of the events in his journal. Afterworld is the story of Russell's 3,000-mile (4,800 km) trek across a post-apocalyptic America as he encounters the strange new societies rebuilding themselves. Along the way, he also attempts to solve the mystery of what caused this global event, which survivors refer to as "the Fall."
