It was a typical thirteenth birthday for Jeffrey Bingham Mead -that is, until Mead’s father walked in to present his son with an Imperial Japanese samurai sword. Little did this young American teen know at the time that it was the beginning of a journey into rediscovering his father’s role as a China Marine after World War II.

Detroit city officials are urging a judge to approve their plan to get out of bankruptcy, and solve some really bad crap by wiping out billions in debt and spending $1.7 billion on improved services services for the Motor City.
Judge Steven Rhodes is expected to rule on November 7 whether the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history is fair and feasible. It's an up-or-down ruling: He can't choose parts he likes and scratch others.

Oct 26, 1881
Shootout at the OK Corral. On this day in 1881, the Earp brothers face off against the Clanton-McLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. After silver was discovered nearby in 1877, Tombstone quickly grew into one of the richest mining towns in the Southwest. Wyatt Earp, a former Kansas police officer working as a bank security guard, and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil, the town marshal, represented "law and order" in Tombstone, though they also had reputations as being power-hungry and ruthless. The Clantons and McLaurys were cowboys who lived on a ranch outside of town and sidelined as cattle rustlers, thieves and murderers. In October 1881, the struggle between these two groups for control of Tombstone and Cochise County ended in a blaze of gunfire at the OK Corral.
