NO LAUGHING MATTER

Dozens of women have accused comedian Bill Cosby of inappropriate sexual behavior and had the opportunity to tell their stories on NBC TV.

Mr. Cosby hasn't been charged with a crime, or publicly responded to the allegations, but his representatives denied he had non-consensual sexual interaction with anyone.

Meanwhile, Bill Cosby's legal case moves forward, with an expected deposition.

OVER THE RAINBOW

The 71st anniversary of...

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Way above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow

COM-MUTE

Although many opt to stay quiet, not complain, or talk about it, commuting to and from the job is very important for most working people. Researchers have explored the effects of commuting time on the psychological health of men and women.

They have used data that includes variables known to determine psychological health, as well as factors which may provide compensation for commuting such as income, job satisfaction and housing quality.

THE MARTIAN

They say that timing is everything, but could you believe NASA's timing? The space agency announced earlier this week that water possibly exists on Mars. On the same week, 20th Century Fox released a major motion picture about space exploration and the lack of water on Mars.

In recent years, we’ve lost our sense of wonder about space flight and that we are regularly sending astronauts off to planets and bringing them back. And that is the story of The Martian, the new science-fiction film from director Ridley Scott.
