Good evening, I'm Anthony J. Scoobington, with WSCB TV.
Bill Gates tops Forbes' list of the 400 richest Americans for the 18th year in a row. The magazine said Wednesday that the Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist's wealth amounts $59 billion, ranking him ahead of all the other billionaires who make up this year's list. Upon the announcement Bill Gates' twitter was updated immediately saying this, "@BillionDollarBill_Gate$: Forbes' Richest, I did it on 'em...again. #flexin"
Yemeni forces on Wednesday fired mortars at tens of thousands of mourners at funerals held for slain protesters and attacked an opposition base, killing at least 16 people and shattering a cease-fire negotiated a day earlier to end the nation's latest bout of violence. Despite the extra lose of lives some families found peace of mind knowing that they could bury another family member at the same time to cut costs. One grave, one coffin but two people.
Troy Davis, who was convicted of killing off-duty police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989, was executed by the state of Georgia on 21 September 2011. His execution was scheduled for 7pm EST, but did not actually happen until 11:08pm EST. When a judge was asked if the delay was some part of a possible appeal on his behalf, he had this to say, "Oh, it was nothing like that at all. For those who were not exactly sure of what 'CP time' was, we were helping to make that abundantly clear." For those who are not exactly sure, "CP" time which stands for "colored people," refers to the fact that African Americans are typically known for being late to things.
From the folks at WSCB have a great evening. Stay hydrated.
