Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima
The Brazilian soccer legend, known simply as Ronaldo, is expected to announce his retirement from the sport Monday, according to media reports.
"I wanted to continue, but I can't," the Corinthians player said in Sunday's Estado de São Paulo newspaper. "I think of a play, but I can't execute as I'd like. It's time. But it was so damn beautiful."
At age 34, the three-time FIFA player of the year and two-time World Cup champion may be seen as an old man in today's sport, but in his day he was all kinds of awesome.
Serene Branson
The CBS Los Angeles reporter and two-time Emmy nominee was treated by paramedics late Sunday after an on-air incident, shown on Youtube, where she was reporting on the Grammys but stumbled badly over her lines. She attempted to repeat them but her words became even more incomprehensible.
While the station has yet to release a statement on Branson’s condition, news reports have speculated that Branson may have suffered a stroke live on air.
A CBS colleague, Edward Lawrence, tweeted that the station is “looking into” the incident.
Marshall and Winnie Kuykendall
The Lordsburg, New Mexico, couple, both centenarians, mark their 82nd wedding anniversary on Monday, according to the Silver City Sun-News newspaper in New Mexico.
The couple, originally from Arizona, got married on Valentines Day 1929, the newspaper reported. Marshall Kuykendall, 103, and Winnie Kuykendall, 102, were recently named the longest-wed couple in the United States by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, a faith-based marriage enrichment program.
The couple's only child, Marilyn Miller, told the Sun-News the secret to her parents' union was that they took their vows seriously. "My dad said they signed a certificate of marriage and made a commitment 'till death do us part,' and they believe in keeping their commitment," Miller was quoted as saying.
Many more happy valentines to the Kuykendalls! God bless them and wish them as many as God blesses with!
Great couple, 102 and 103. Couples do live longer than singles.
