March for our Lives Brings out MILLIONS to Protest Gun Violence #GOVOTE and Vote Them Out

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Washington DC on Saturday for the March For Our Lives protest against gun violence

Hundreds of thousands have turned out in Washington DC for the historic March for Our Lives protest against gun violence which has been heralded by the Parkland shooting survivors who organized it as the 'of a revolution'.

The event is being led by the student survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on February 14 when 17 were slaughtered by a teenage gunman carrying a legally-purchased AR-15.

Some 800 other events are being held around the world in solidarity, but it is the DC march students hope will finally force congress to change gun laws.

The DC march began at noon on Pennsylvania Avenue between 3rd street and 12th street NW but large crowds had already formed by 8.30am. Read More From The Daily Mail.

Last Surviving Search & Rescue Dog Who Worked at Ground Zero on September 11th is Still Going Strong at 16 1/2!

noreply@blogger.com (Marie) — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 21:19:00 +0000

Bretagne (pronounced "Brittany"), the last known surviving search dog who worked at Ground Zero after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, has always been focused, diligent — and incorrigibly food-obsessed. Even today, at age 16 1/2, she regularly saunters up to her longtime handler Denise Corliss like this:

Caption: "Bretagne will follow me around with the bag in her mouth until I finally give in and open it," said Denise Corliss of Cypress, Texas.

"She cracks me up!" said Corliss of Cypress, Texas. "Bretagne will follow me around with the bag in her mouth until I finally give in and open it. She's done this since she was a pup, and ... well, some things never change."

Caption: Denise Corliss is pictured with her search dog Bretagne at Ground Zero in New York City in September 2001.

It was their first deployment together. Bretagne and Corliss' first deployment as a trained disaster-search team was to the twisted pile of steel beams, concrete and ash where the World Trade Center once stood.

In the years following 9/11, Bretagne and Corliss responded together to numerous other disasters, including Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ivan. Click link for full post from The Today Show.

BFF's....Terry Francona To Accompany John Farrell to First Chemo Therapy Today

Terry Francona enjoyed a successful eight-year run with the Boston Red Sox, with John Farrell serving as his right hand man for four of those seasons.

Francona, now in his second season with the Cleveland Indians, will always have a special relationship with his former pitching coach and current Red Sox manager, as the two were also teammates during their playing days with the Cleveland Indians.

On Friday, Farrell announced he’s stepping away from baseball for the rest of the season to battle stage-1 Lymphoma. But it should come as no surprise that Farrell will have his good friend by his side when he begins chemotherapy this week.

“I may not do anything other than get in the way,” Francona told reporters Monday. “But the only thing I know how to do is be a friend.” Click link for full post from CBSBoston.com.

Michael noticed the youngster loved playing with Carly, one of two Black Labs that are “ambassadors” at the hotel. “There were many days when Brandon was sick in his room and didn’t want to come down and the only way we could get him down was to have him come down and see Carly,” says Eades.
