Police in La Porte, Texas, are conducting an investigation following the disappearance of 50-thousand dollars from a livestock show and rodeo. The money was supposed to provide scholarships, but the event's board members recently discovered that the bank account has been drained. Police are now looking at the rodeo's financial records, and they want to question a person of interest -- a member of the livestock and rodeo association. So far, no charges and no arrests. In the past, the funds have provided more than 25-thousand dollars in scholarships. |
| Slug: | OH-kill
An eleventh victim has been discovered at what's become a house of horrors in Cleveland -- where a registered sex offender is suspected of being a serial killer. All but one of the victims dug from a backyard and found inside the house are still nameless. D-N-A evidence is being examined to try to identify them. An ex-Marine, Anthony Sowell, is being questioned in the case. Sowell spent 15 years in jail after being convicted of rape. A criminal profiler says Sowell probably got away with his crimes for as long as he did because his home was near a sausage plant, a smelly sausage plant. |
| Slug: | intel
New York's Attorney General has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel -- alleging the chipmaker threatened computer makers and paid kickbacks to stop them from using competitors' chips. The suit also charges that Intel's illegal actions involved three of the largest U-S computer makers: Dell, Hewlett-Packard and I-B-M. The attorney general's office alleges that Intel paid billions of dollars to encourage use of Intel's microprocessors exclusively. Intel denies the claims and says the company will defend itself. |
| Slug: | berwall
Just in time for the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington's Newseum is featuring the largest display of the infamous wall. The exhibit includes sections of the concrete wall that stand 12 feet high and weigh about three tons. An East German guard tower is also a part of the display. On November 9th, 1989, Germans gathered at the wall to celebrate the border being opened between East and West Germany. Germany was formally re-united less than a year later. |

| Slug: | granny
They travel the state competing in basketball tournaments for ladies in their 80s (and up), but they have the spunk of 20-year-olds.They're known as the Granny Globetrotters, and they can still play a mean game of basketball. Most of the players are in their 80s. The oldest is 93. They play mainly to have a little fun and share a few laughs. They don't concern themselves with scoring the big shots. They drill up and down the court, practice their defense and layups. They feel they're ready to take on all comers, and they perhaps prove that age is just a number. |
