chicago suburb, where a small plane crashes into a bank parking lot, killing one person, and badly burning another. police say the two seater plane was approaching for a landing, when it clipped a tree and a light pole, then crashed into several parked cars. no one on the ground was hurt, but a woman on board the plane died, while a man suffered severe burns. it's unclear

tonight who was the pilot. a rising democratic star in the state of texas is hoping to fill the seat currently occupied by presidential hopeful rick perry. state senator wendy davis rose to national prominence last month after staging a 13 hour filibuster in an attempt to block texas' newly imposed abortion restrictions she's expected to make a formal announcment next week. texas hasn't had a democratic governor since ann richards in 1990. better stock up on those forever stamps...it looks like the price of postage is going up yet again. the u-s postal service is requesting permission to raise the cost of first class mail by three cents next year...taking it up to 49 cents. postcard prices would go up to 34 cents. it's hoped that those hikes would bring in an additional two billion dollars to the cash strapped agency. a sudden and massive dust storm closes down a 14 mile stretch of highway in

knows google will eventually update the site with a new photo. but that's usually done every six or seven years, so he figures he has some more time to spend with her. an embarrassing an embarrassing play by an orioles' left fielder... why ever little leaguer in the country could've told him what to do... next in sports unlimited... that's all for the late edition. i'm jennifer
