Her medical leave is slated to begin between the end of this month and the first week of September. Welcome back Robin-we love you. I know that you will come back stronger than ever.

                                    World News Watch

In yet another attack on US Troops, a second incident where an Afghan Security Forces Officer opened fire and killed 2 more US soldiers . This is the latest in a rash of attacks on allied troops training Afghan Officers.

There have been several of these senseless outbursts of violence our troops have endured and there have been 36 casualties of allied forces just this year in light of this.

                                              Mars Rover

                          

Nasa's rover, "Curiosity" has officially been on Mars since August 6th and it has sent some incredible photos back to earth but-there are still no signs of Wall-E, ET, or Alf. Nasa  will continue to look for signs of life on Mars, but so far all they have found is a lot of craters, and great snap shots sent back to earth from "Curiosity". 

                                               Opening Weekend 

In what ultimately became Whitney Houston's final film, "Sparkle" opens today amidst mixed reviews. "Sparkle" is a remake of the 1976 movie bearing the same name. It is the story of a group of young women trying to make it in the music business during the 1960's. Starring Whitney Houston, Jordan Sparks, and several others, it is the story of struggle between faith, vices, and society. For those of you still mourning the loss of Whitney it is a way to see her shine one last time. 

                                           Regis Philbin

He is one of the most enduring and beloved television hosts of all time, Regis Philbin is a legend. Regis was born August 25, 1931 and grew up in the Bronx. After graduating college at Notre Dame, he joined the United States Navy. He began his television career in Hollywood, California in several entry-level jobs before getting his break from writing reviews for the local news casts. In 1985, Live! With Regis and Kathy Lee was born and history was made. Now in it's 27th year, Live! Has won several prestigious awards and is the number one morning talk show on television. Regis had a philosophy for the show that has trickled over. His philosophy was to give people a break from their worries and cares for at least one hour a day and they could feel like they were an important part of the show. He worked very hard to ensure people laughed and forgot their troubles. Even when the attack on our World Trade Center here in NY happened, we were all able to find comfort by tuning in to our beloved and trusted friends Regis and Kelly.While working on Live! Regis in his free time would visit soldiers through the USO and also while they were in the hospital from wounds they suffered while serving. He is a true gentleman and a trusted friend. Regis-we love and miss you every day. Please come back to tv.
