2. President Obama to Announce Major Immigration Executive Action
President Obama will announce a major executive action on immigration reform in prime time today, the White House said.
"Our immigration system has been broken for decades -- and every minute we fail to act, millions of people who live in the shadows but want to play by the rules and pay taxes have no way to live right by the law and contribute to our country, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest wrote on the White House website.
3. Ferguson School District's Plan to Get Students Off the Streets
Schools in Ferguson, Missouri, released plans to ensure that students are off the streets - possibly including closing schools - ahead of the grand jury verdict in the shooting of teenager Michael Brown.
The Ferguson-Florissant School District said that, whenever a decision is handed down, schools could close early or close for the day if the decision is released during a school day. The decision would affect schools beyond Ferguson and would include the entire district and its 23 schools, the majority of which are elementary schools.
They also noted that seven churches have agreed to work with the school district in providing free breakfast and lunches for students if the schools are closed.
4. TV Land Pulls 'Cosby Show' From Lineup
NBC has scrapped a Bill Cosby comedy that was under development and TV Land will stop airing reruns of "The Cosby Show," moves that came a day after another woman came forward claiming that the once-beloved comic had sexually assaulted her.
NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said Wednesday the Cosby sitcom "is no longer under development." A TV Land representative said the reruns will stop airing immediately for an indefinite time. "The Cosby Show" also was to have been part of a Thanksgiving sitcom marathon.
The NBC sitcom and "Cosby Show" reruns joined a Netflix Cosby standup comedy special, which was indefinitely postponed late Tuesday, as mounting evidence of Cosby's faltering career. They occurred a day after model Janice Dickinson, in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight," became the third woman in recent weeks to allege she'd been assaulted by Cosby, charges strongly denied by the comedian's lawyer.
5. Bono Needs 'Intensive and Progressive Therapy' After Bicycle Accident
U2 singer Bono is going to need "intensive and progressive therapy," according to a statement from the medical center that treated him after his bicycle accident.
The accident took place earlier this week in New York City and today, a trauma surgeon at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center said after multiple X-rays and CT scans, the singer's injuries included a left facial fracture, a shoulder blade fracture in "3 separate pieces" and a fracture to his arm.
"He was taken to the operating room for a 5-hour surgery Sunday evening," Dr. Dean Lorich stated, adding that his elbow was the focal point. "A nerve trapped in the break was moved; and the bone was repaired with 3 metal plates and 18 screws."
