An injured bald eagle is recuperating in Kansas after a team made up of a sheriff's sergeant, two firefighters, and an animal conservationist rallied together to save him. Sgt. Justin Antle of the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office received a call about a hurt bird near Lake Afton, and after finding the injured eagle, enlisted the help of Ken Lockwood of the Eagle Valley Raptor Center. On his way to the lake, Lockwood stopped by the Sedgwick County Fire Department and picked up firefighters to assist in the rescue. After following the bird for hours, they were finally able to capture him. The eagle, estimated to be about 3 years old, is now on the mend, and will be released back into the wild when he's feeling better. "It's an eagle — that's our national symbol," Lockwood told ABC News. "You just have to go rescue them. You can't just let it die.”
Jack Reynolds refuses to act his age. The great-grandfather from northern England celebrated his 105th birthday last week by becoming the world's oldest person to ride a roller coaster. Wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with the phrase "It's my party and I'll scream if I want to," Reynolds took a spin on the Twistosaurus coaster at the Flamingo Land theme park. "It were OK," the former railway worker said as he disembarked. "I'm going for another ride in a minute!" It was his second world record: Last year, at 104, he became the oldest person to get a tattoo.

Cayla Chandara says she's heard of other stories like this, but never thought it would happen to her. When it did, it left her speechless.
Chandara had been pulling double-duty at two different restaurants in Waikiki. She was waiting on a couple from Australia at Noi Thai Cuisine and says they hit it off.
"They asked me where I was from, and I told them I moved here for school but I was kind of in a little bit of debt and I couldn't go back to school, because I couldn't afford it and the cost of living here," Chandara said.
The couple rang up a $200 bill, paid their tab and left. Chandara says she was shocked to see the tip was double the bill at $400.
