: Less than a day after announcing he was cutting a third of his campaign staff, Newt Gingrich compared himself to a sports team coming from behind at the end of a season.

: If it seems like a lot of terrorism cases are popping up in Virginia, they are — and there is a good reason for that.

: Watch video of the scene aboard a JetBlue plane where a captain appears to have had a meltdown, and hear audio of the plane requesting medical and security attention.

: Those who work a lot of overtime and think they are getting more done might want to reevaluate their routines. Studies show that always clocking more than 40 hours a week can make people unproductive.

: Nobody won Tuesday’s $363 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, so losers, uh, players, may be looking for rationalizations to help them get over disappointment of not being able to walk into work to announce an instant retirement.
