28-year-old David Nelson is being called a true American hero after he gave his life for a young girl. He was visiting a friend in Detroit when a car drove up and began shooting at a 12-year-old girl. He pulled her out of the way but ended up getting shot himself.

It’s an era in which older workers do what they can to hide their age on their resume out of fear of age discrimination.But if you’re applying to Vita Needle, the Needham, Mass.-based, needle manufacturer, the hiring managers would consider it an asset if you remember what it’s like to use a typewriter or where you were when John F. Kennedy was shot. Older workers are “loyal,” an exec says, noting that the company prefers hiring gray-haired workers.

A Georgia woman’s heartwarming act is making headlines this week, poignantly proving the power of kindness, even between two strangers.
Branden Whitehead, a 20-year-old college student, was walking home from school last month when he was struck and critically injured in a hit and run accident, MyFoxAtlanta.com reported. The West Georgia Technical College student walks 15 miles to and from school, carrying a heavy bag of books–the trek takes four and a half hours.

Edvard Munch’s iconic work, “The Scream,” broke a world record tonight, becoming the most expensive artwork sold in an auction.
Estimates for the sale varied from $80 million to $200 million. The artwork — which is not a painting but is pastel on board — ended up selling for $119,922,500, surpassing the previous record-holder, Picasso’s “Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust,” which sold for $106.5 million in 2010. Cezanne’s “The Card Players” has the honor of going for the highest price, period (meaning not at auction) — it was sold in a private sale to Qatar (yes, the country) for $250 million last year.
