Hey, Dyson. There’s a new kid in town and its name is Shark. Less expensive than the Dyson Air Wrap and suitable for more hair types (in our humble opinion), the celebrity-loved Shark heated comb and blow dryer brush volumizes and styles hair, all in one handy tool.

Who started Mother’s Day?


In 1908, three years after her own mother’s death, social activist Anna Jarvis led a movement to commemorate mothers and create a Mother’s Day. Jarvis held a memorial to commemorate her mother and all the mothers of Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in her hometown of Grafton, WV. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill making Jarvis’ Mother’s Day a national holiday.


Grammar sleuths are quick to note that Mother’s Day celebrates mom in the singular not plural (that’s Mother’s Day, not Mothers’ Day). That dates back to Jarvis, who wanted the holiday to be that of children celebrating their own mothers, not the concept of motherhood in general.

$100 million in federal funds released for North Carolina to rebuild roads, bridges damaged by Helene

North Carolina’s Helene cleanup efforts begin


North Carolina’s massive cleanup efforts underway more than a week after Helene

01:21

Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Transportation released $100 million in emergency funds on Saturday for North Carolina to rebuild its roads and bridges damaged by Helene. 

“We are providing this initial round of funding so there’s no delay getting roads repaired and reopened, and re-establishing critical routes,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a statement. “The Biden-Harris administration will be with North Carolina every step of the way, and today’s emergency funding to help get transportation networks back up and running safely will be followed by additional federal resources.”     

The storm caused rampant flooding that has devastated several towns and killed more than 225 people – with CBS News confirming at least 114 people killed in North Carolina. There was more than 8 inches of rain across the western North Carolina mountains, with some areas seeing more than a foot. 

Hundreds of roads across Western North Carolina remain closed, leading to an increase in air traffic as teams scour the region for survivors by air. Air traffic over Western North Carolina has increased by 300% due to relief efforts since the storm cleared, the Federal Aviation Administration and the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Mudslides blocked Interstate 40 and other highways in North Carolina and about 400 roads were closed due to damage from Helene. Interstate 40 was damaged at several locations, the Department of Transportation said.  

President Biden visited the Carolinas on Wednesday, surveying the flood damage by air from Greenville, South Carolina, to Asheville, North Carolina. Mr. Biden announced the federal government would cover “100%” of all debris removal and emergency protective measure costs in North Carolina for six months.

The Department of Transportation said these relief funds will allow the North Carolina Department of Transportation to act more quickly to fund eligible repairs to their damaged facilities.
