For the past couple of years I've grown accustomed to hearing the school bus stop in front of the house and pick up the kid across the street around 6:55 in the morning for his ride to school. I think that is a little too early for an elementary school kid to catch a bus, but that's the system, until now.  Tyle rISD has announced new bus schedules, which will save money and time while riding the b

The Honda Accord seems to be one of the most common vehicles seen on the roads, not only across the US, but right here in East Texas. Driving on the Loop in Tyler we see tons of Accords, mixed in with several domestic pickup trucks and foreign and domestic SUVs. I'm rockin' a Chevy Traverse, packed full of car seats, diaper bags, and scattered discarded Cheerios. And you? If you drive a Tahoe

Pop and hip-hop superstar Nicki Minaj will be joining Mariah Carey on the 'American Idol' judges' table for Season 12, according to a report from Us Weekly.

Rihanna has always been very quiet when it comes to her relationship with former boyfriend Chris Brown. The two have never really left the media spotlight after news broke of Browns 2009 violent altercation against Rihanna. Rumors about their relationship in the past years since the altercation have never stopped, and Rihanna has finally decided to put them to rest.

Now that we've taken full advantage of the tax free shopping weekend and we're stocked up on clothes, notebooks, and pens, the attention turns to the actual start of school. When students in Palestine had back to class, they'll be enjoying brand spanking new facilities that were three years in the making and cost about $65 million. The new high school accounted for $35 million of that.

Today through Sunday, East Texans will be saving the tax on many tax exempt items as they do their back to school shopping.  The crowds at the mall and area shopping centers are very reminiscent of black Friday sales right after Thanksgiving.  Broadway in Tyler and McCann and the Loop in Longview are expected to be very congested throughout the weekend as traffic increases.

I read that 20 percent of us check our smart phones every ten minutes. I hate to admit it, but I’m one of those helpless, pathetic addicts. I just can’t stand not knowing what might be going on inside that phone as it sits there on my desk. Has someone sent a text? What new emails have just landed? Maybe I should check Facebook. Perhaps a celebrity couple has broken up….I should see. Stop the madn

Many parts of East Texas were woken up this morning to a round of strong thunderstorms that produced locally heavy rainfall and quite a bit of lightning and thunder.  That trend will hopefully continue through the weekend and bring cooler temperatures to East Texas too.

And it's some place simple where we could live. And something only you can give. And that's faith and trust, and peace while we're alive. And the one poor child that saved this world. And there's 10 million more who probably could. If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them.

Six feet tall and 300 pounds sounds like a good size to play football. But apparently that’s too big at age 12, and in that case league rules say the boy will have to stay on the sidelines. Fox Sports Southwest did a story that many media outlets are covering, on the 12-year old boy from Mesquite, near Dallas, who was told after a weigh-in Sunday that he wouldn’t be able to play.

For the second time in six months, the nationwide Powerball lottery reached a record jackpot.  Last nights jackpot was the fourth highest in the lottery's history at $337 million.  According to ABC News,  there was only one winning ticket sold.

There are cooking shows, there are competition cooking shows, there are networks devoted to cooking shows and now ABC is getting into the game with a new series that debuts tonight.  Time Machine Chefs will separate itself from other cooking shows by not giving the chefs the conveniences of modern kitchens.
