There are still 13 MILLION USA people out of work. Un-employment is 9.1 percent.
This is the latest and over April and into May it is a downward fall. So the USA is far from out of the woods and back into the times before 2008.

It is now the greatest deadly E-COLI outbreak in the world. Started in Germany, but has now spread to other Europe countries and 4 people in the USA (travelers to Germany). They say this particular e-coli is different than other e-coli - they are calling it a super bug, which can get not just on the top of fruits and vegetables but even inside things like tomatoes. 18 deaths so far and nearly 2,000 sick. It is also attacking younger women more, but they figure that is because women eat more fruits and vegetables than do men.

James Arness, the 6'7" sheriff Mat Dillon in the 20 year show "Gun Smoke" dies. He was born in 1923.
John Wayne turned down the job and said only James Arness was the right guy for the big sheriff job, and he was the one to get the badge.
It was one of the most favorite TV series shows. I well remember watching it as a kid growing up in England. Yes it was very popular in Britain. Not really surprising as also the cowboy shows Maverick and Bonanza were also very popular, oh yes and of course Wyatt Earp. And before them there was Roy Rogers who had a huge popularity and fan base in Britain.
James Arness said that his wounds from WW2 made it hard for him to climb up on a horse.
