Today is the... 17th (summer vacation makes you forget everything 
) And here is your random and hopefully informative news.
.:TODAYS 5 NEWS STORIES:.
1.FDA cracking down on 'cancer cures'
The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on teas, supplements, creams and other products that falsely claim to cure, treat or prevent cancer even though they are not agency-approved drugs. All are available for sale on the Internet.
2.Oil eases but further spikes feared
Oil prices eased slightly Tuesday -- following a wild, record-setting session the previous day -- as investors weighed expectations of higher Saudi Arabian output against the market's ability to quench soaring global demand.
3.Legendary dancer Cyd Charisse dies (who?)
Cyd Charisse, the long-legged Texas beauty who danced with the Ballet Russe as a teenager and starred in MGM musicals with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, died Tuesday. She was 86.
4.McCain wants to lift ban on offshore drilling
Sen. John McCain on Tuesday proposed lifting the ban on offshore drilling as part of his plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil and help combat rising gas prices.
And 5.Whale license plate endangered by money fight (not what you think)
One of California's most popular specialty license plates -- depicting the tail of a Pacific humpback whale rising out of misty waters -- could soon become endangered itself.
That one is kinda odd so I'll list the part of CNN I found it at:http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/06/17/whale.t...index.html
Thanks to CNN for the news.
