MEMPHIS - A Memphis International Airport security video shows the confrontation between security personnel and Hannah Cohen, a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital patient, that led Cohen to file a federal lawsuit.

The video, obtained by The Commercial Appeal, shows Cohen speaking with several security agents. When one of the agents tries to detain her, Cohen tries to punch the agent, who then slams her to the floor. She then struggles to break free as the agent
USA TodayThe tragic boy killed on the world’s largest waterslide left a trail of blood behind his lifeless body, two horrified witnesses recalled. Park-goers Jess Sanford and Melanie Gocke were on the Verrückt slide at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, Kan., earlier in the day before little Caleb Thomas Schwab was killed on the park’s main attraction Sunday. The witnesses told CNN that once Caleb - son of Republican state Rep. Scott Schwab - hit the end of the 17-story slide, his friend frantically called for help. The speed slide - its name means “insane” in German and it is certified as the world’s tallest by Guinness World Records - sends riders down 17 stories at up to 65 miles an hour.
New York PostDear Moneyologist, My best friend from college and I are both recent graduates. She moved in with me a couple months ago, and ever since then, I’ve realized she’s a financial idiot. She constantly complains about how she doesn’t have enough money to buy food, go out for drinks or participate in group outings, but she travels at least once a month to places like New York and Hawaii. Not to mention, she spent three months in Europe after graduation. Even worse, she complains about not being included in group events and says she feels like she has no friends because of it. The thing is, I frequently invite her to group outings, but she is always out of town or won’t go because it’s too expensive.

Simone OliveroFor more than half a century, Felix Vail’s love life has left a trail of dead bodies and missing persons. His first wife, Mary Horton Vail, died while out fishing with him. Her body was found in the Calcasieu River with four inches of her scarf stuffed into her mouth and down her throat. When police pulled her body from the water near Lake Charles, La., the day before Halloween in 1962, her corpse was covered in bruises and crabs had burrowed into her scalp. She was just 22 years old, with a four-month-old son at home. Eleven years later, he was dating a girl named Sharon Hensley, who disappeared into thin air in 1973. She was never heard from again. A decade after Henlsey’s disappearance, Felix
Washington PostThe last thing I remembered was listening to a Prince song as a nurse told me to relax and lay on my left side. The next thing I knew I was rambling about something in the recovery room. I don't remember getting dressed into my street clothes. I don't remember chatting with the doctor while sipping apple juice. And I certainly don't remember having a colonoscopy just a few minutes earlier. Anesthesia fed through an IV drip can be a wonderful thing, especially for someone like me who doesn't drink alcohol, has never taken drugs, and doesn't use any serious prescription medications. I can now see the addictive attraction of such escapism. One second, I was perfectly lucid, taking detailed notes
