HOT? Get Yourself A Free Drink

Submitted by ub on

Today is Monday, July 11, therefore it is Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven. To commemorate their 84th birthday, the convenience store chain has announced plans to give away millions of free Slurpees to hot, thirsty people at thousands of USA locations in an event officially known as 7-Eleven Day.

One might think that giving away so many free Slurpees would put a dent in 7-Eleven's bottom line, but according to the company, they sell enough Slurpees each year to fill 12 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It sounds like they can afford it.

Nearly 5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, with an equal amount suffering mild, or early stages of this malady. The latest update in 30 years defines patients as being 65 and older, but evidence suggests that signs of this disease, which robs memory may start in the brain five to ten years before it is detected.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Research Center say that several biomarkers have been identified, but they are not ready for clinical usage as of yet pointing to a lack of standardization about how the tests are performed.

After rushing back to UK, media magnate Rupert Murdoch made good on his decision to fold the 168-year-old newspaper as of today.

This probably means that he realized he had to take a decisive step to accept the responsibility for the newspaper that he owns, but its is certainly a bleak day for journalism and a black eye for tabloids.

This marks the end of the line for one of Europe's most popular newspapers.

The newspaper's last issue said - On this historic day, after 8,674 editions we'll miss YOU, our 7.5 million readers.

Derek Jeter was mobbed by teammates at home plate. This great scene occured this afternoon at Yankee Stadium. DJ now becomes the 28th player in baseball history to reach 3 thousand hits.

It came with a home run in the third inning right here in The Bronx at Yankee Stadium. The Bronx bombers were playing Tampa Bay Rays and the pitch was hurdled by David Price.

Derek Jeter becomes the first and only player in the history of The NY Yankees to reach this hallowed number.

Holy Cow, DJ... KUDOS... You are truly a Bronx Bomber!
