Still no leads in the Sean Taylor murder case.

The NFL decreed that all league players will honor Taylor by wearing Number 21 helmet decals this weekend.
And the strike goes on. …
While the strike on Broadway has been solved the Hollywood writers strike still goes on.
The strike that began on Nov. 5th, with almost 12,000 writers in both Los Angeles and New York walking off the job. The writers' strike rages as, representatives of film and television firms and union representatives of the Writers Guild of America try to make headway, but as of yet are not successful in ending the strike.
During the last few weeks, writers have picketed studios and networks, and many shows have been forced into reruns. NBC will be adding additional reality T.V. programming to cover holes in the slots caused by no one writing new shows.
On a brighter note, Broadway is lit up again, Theater owners, producers and stagehands ended their 19 day strike by reaching an agreement late Wednesday night. The League of American Theaters and Producers and members of Local 1 settled their differences after a 12 hour marathon session.
