Valerie Harper joins DWTS cast

buzzz worthy. . .


A brand new lot of celebs are ready to shake their tale feathers on season 17 of  “Dancing with the Stars.” 
The new cast was revealed live on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 exclusively on “Good Morning America”. The competition begins with twelve new celebrities who will brave the dance floor for the very first time. Each week these celebrities will leave their comfort zones and endure hours of grueling rehearsals to master technical choreography and entertaining performances. In the end, only one star will rise above the rest to be crowned champion and win the coveted mirror-ball trophy.
 Actress Valerie Harper (known as Rhoda from the hit 70's sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show") may be going into the experience as a fan favorite.  Harper recently announced she is terminally ill with an inoperable brain tumor.  Her popularity along with the popularity of several other reality stars will be a ratings booster.  The other new cast members are: High School Musical star Corbin Blue, Glee star Amber Riley, performer Christina Millian, Jersey Shores' Snooki, Showgirls star Elizabeth Berkley Lauren, .
“Dancing with the Stars” returns for Season 17 with a new schedule. This season the show will air in a one night, two-hour format beginning MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET).

Updated on September 18
During the week 1 of the competition, Bruno called Amber Riley the "Tigress of Season 17" for dancing a fierce Cha Cha on the first show. She and her partner Derek Hough received all 9's for a score of 27 out of 30.  We agree with judge Carrie Anne Anaba : "Amber, you turend that Cha Cha out!"

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
