Mandatory school lunches?

A Chicago public school is banning homemade lunches according to the Chicago Tribune.

Homemade lunches need to stay at home. School lunch is going to be mandatory at Chicago’s Little Village Academy public k-8 school.

The reasoning behind the movement is that with the new lunch program the school is guaranteed to provide healthy meals without running the risk of children bringing sugary treats and salty chips from home. The complete overhaul was brought about by many schools across the nation being put under heat for not providing healthy lunches for their students.

This guy's not afraid of any cobras!

A Legend Gets His Ring Back

When Tracy Forrest overheard her 10-year-old son Cliff on the phone trying to explain to someone that he wanted to give William Perry his Super Bowl XX ring back, she could tell Cliff was having a hard time being believed.

After all, what 10-year-old would give away something like a Super Bowl ring for nothing?

"He said Perry lost the ring through hard times, and that he only had one ring. He said, 'I want him to have the ring back.' That's pretty special for a 10-year-old to want to do that."

Cliff used money he had been saving for college to purchase the ring after seeing it at Mickey Mantle's restaurant and sports bar in New York City. The establishment also has a sports memorabilia section. Cliff Forrest Sr., who owns Rosebud Mining Company in Pittsburgh, said the ring was purchased for $8,500.

"It's what I wanted to do. When I Googled Mr. Perry after I got the ring, I saw he had the disease and went through rough times. And I thought he needed it more than I did."

Charlie Sheen, no longer winning?

Charlie's "Torpedo of Truth" is all but blowing him out of the water in New York.

On the heels of Charlie Sheen's disastrous debut in Detroit, which was marked by boos and catcalls Saturday night, scalpers have stooped to seeking bargain-basement prices in a bid to dump thousands of tickets for his Radio City Music Hall gig this week.

As of yesterday, more than 2,800 tickets were still available on Stubhub.com for Sheen's shows on Friday and Sunday nights.

The prices had already dropped last week -- but after his debacle in Detroit, they plummeted even more.
