Tony-winning actress, TV star Edie Adams dies
Oct 16, 3:22 PM (ET)
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actress and singer Edie Adams, the blonde beauty who won a Tony Award for bringing Daisy Mae to life on Broadway and who played the television foil to her husband, comedian Ernie Kovacs, has died. She was 81.
Adams died Wednesday in a Los Angeles hospital from pneumonia and cancer, publicist Henri Bollinger said.
A graduate of Juilliard School of Music, Adams hoped to become an opera singer but instead went on to gain fame for her sketches with Kovacs and her pivotal roles in two top Broadway musicals.
For nearly two decades, she also was the sexy spokeswoman for Muriel cigars, singing and breathily cooing in TV commercials: "Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime?"

Shooting at Ark. university kills 2, wounds 1

CONWAY, Ark. (AP) - Police officers patrolled the University of Central Arkansas campus early Monday and classes were canceled after a shooting in an alleyway left two students dead and a third person wounded.
Shots were fired in the heart of the campus Sunday night near a male dormitory and behind the campus police station.
One man fell to the sidewalk along a narrow alley between the dormitory and a fine arts center and died. Police said the two others rushed into the dorm, where paramedics later found them.
University police spokeswoman Lt. Rhonda Swindle had no explanation for the shooting, though she said police questioned one "person of interest" into the early morning hours. She said detectives believed four people were involved in the attack, though no arrest or search warrants had been issued in the case.

Of course it's the right place.
That's so tragic about her nephew. Didn't her mom and brother die also? May they all RIP.

I honestly never cry when I watch the news until I watched the story about Jennifer Hudson's family. How tragic. My prayers are with her.
...by someone they knew? That is so... cruel. May they rest in peace

R.I.P Amos E. Joel
Thanks to http://www.thisistrue.com
An electrical engineer, Joel had a fascination with telephones -- and patents -- all his life, and made his career at the venerable telephone R&D company, Bell Labs. It was Joel who figured out how to automate the billing of long distance calls; it took more than 500 pages to describe for the resulting patent, one of more than 70 awarded to him. But he's best known for an invention patented in 1972: the system that allows a wireless phone call to be handed from one tower to the next without disrupting the call -- which was needed to make cell phones workable. "Without his invention, there wouldn't be all these people walking around with cellphones," said Frank Vigilante, one of Joel's supervisors at Bell Labs. "He really allowed that business to form and to be a business." Joel retired in 1983, and inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007. He died October 25, at 90.
