September 8th is the 252nd day of the year. There are 114 days remaining until the end of the year.

Because of the Labour Day holiday, garbage and recycling pickups are being pushed back one day this week.

The NBA’s defending champion Toronto Raptors are one game away from being bounced out of the playoffs.

The Raps lost game 5 last night to the Boston Celtics 111-89.

The must win game 6 is tomorrow night at 6:30 on Sportsnet.

Authentic won the 146th Kentucky Derby on Saturday, in a time of 2:00.61.

The heavy favorite, Tiz the Law, was coming up fast in second place. Authentic is the first wire-to-wire Derby winner since 2002.

Authentic knocked some people down in the Winners Circle after getting spooked by a ribbon touching its leg.

David Klein is the founder of Jelly Belly jelly beans. He’s getting ready to retire. So he’s giving away one of his candy factories.

He’s gone to all 50 states and hidden a special necklace in each state. For $50 at TheGoldTicket.com, you can get a ticket to a scavenger hunt for the necklace in your state.

If you find it, you get $5,000, plus you’re entered in the grand prize drawing, where one of the 50 winners will get the candy factory.

If you do the math, he’s selling 1,000 tickets for each treasure hunt, so that’s $45,000 profit per state after the $5,000 prize. All added up, that’s a total of $2.25 million.

The world’s fastest backwards runner just broke his own world record, he ran a mile backwards in five minutes and 30 seconds.

Aaron Yoder from Kansas was a longtime forward-motion runner, but now races in reverse due to knee damage.

He intentionally chose a road with no potholes and little car traffic because he couldn’t see where he ran.
