1. U.S. orthopedic surgeons warn children can suffer injury to their elbows and writst from throwing too many baseball pitches. Yeah… That’s why 12 year old boys have sore elbows and wrists.
2. A Chicago restaurateur has earned praise from the community for hiring convicted felons, but the eatery’s name — Felony Franks – strike some as being in poor taste. Also, a little strange? The convicts only want to enter through the back door.
3. The governing party of South Africa said Jacob Zuma, expected to become president, will make the decision about which of his wives will be first lady. Immediately, former President Bill Clinton said, “You can do that”?

4. They say that men can be defined by one choice… and no it’s not Ginger or Mary Ann. It’s whether you are a Star Trek fan or a Star Wars fan. Well, part of that group will be very excited for this Friday when J.J. Abrams will introduce his re-telling of the famous Star Trek franchise. Personally, I often get “wars” and “trek” mixed up. I think I’m a Star Trek fan… which one has the wookies? Either way, trekkies are sure to leave their basements in droves to catch this new version. Abrams has cast virtually all unknowns to crew the Enterprise (or is it the Millennium Falcon)? This tactic usually pays off in these big summer movies and will surely make gigantic movie stars out of the new comers. It certainly worked in Star Wars… except for Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and the guy in the Chewbacca suit. I myself, am very excited to see this movie. I’m a sucker for outer space hijinx, and special effects. So, set your phasers to “entertaining” and head out to the theaters this Friday. And as always…. May the force live long and prosper with you….. wait… what?
