It was back in 1963. A historic and tumultuous year for those living in USA:
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered “I Have a Dream” speech and the ZIP code was first introduced.

USPS was founded in 1775 and postal carriers had to rely on hand sorting based on local addresses. Correspondence went through 10 postal workers before it arrived as your local mail. By the 1940s, the Post Office realized its sorting system was not serving the country properly.

Starting July 1, children in China will have to visit their elderly parents on a regular basis, or at least stay in touch. It's the law!!!

This new law aims to improve the well-being of the elderly. This amended Law of Protection of Rights and Interests of the Aged makes it illegal for people to neglect all spiritual needs of the elderly.

It's already a legal requirement for sons and daughters to see to their parents' physical needs.

However, a new clause says that family members who do not live with their parents should visit or "greet them" frequently.

The West is burning as Death Valley sets a 130 degree heat record. Meanwhile, a dangerous and fast-moving wildfire just north of Phoenix has claimed the lives of 19 elite firefighters, who were dispatched there to stop it.

Prescott, Arizona Fire officials and U.S. Wildland Fire Aviation Service lost contact with the firefighters as fire spread to Yarnell, Arizona, where it burned over structures.

Approximately 250 firefighters were fighting the blaze, but that number is expected to double today.

NYC's Gay Pride Parade may be over, but the celebrations continue Sunday at a giant dance party on the water. The entire event features a performance by Cher.

Grand marshal was 84-year-old Edith Windsor, the woman at the center of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision granting gay couples federal marriage benefits.

The corvette turns 60 years old today. Over the years, corvette has carved a permanent place as an innovator in the global automotive landscape and is the top-selling high-performance sports car in its segment.

Marking this milestone in the Corvette story, the Corvette 60th Anniversary Design Package will be available on all 2013 Corvette models.

When the first corvette was released, gasoline was 23 cents a gallon.

As hurricane season continues, a California based company is estimating that 4.2 million homes scattered throughout the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts have been built dangerously close to storm surge risk zones.

This means that they could be vulnerable to property damages in the wake of a strong hurricane. Storm surge, which refers to the abnormal rise of seawater during a hurricane that can flood coastal areas, was the culprit behind much of the damage sustained during Superstorm Sandy along the New Jersey Shore and in New York City, where a 13-foot wave submerged much of Lower Manhattan.
