A Japanese porn actress has at least 100 fans that would give their lives to her. Well, at least help her give life to another.

WASHINGTON — The average number of people seeking unemployment benefits over the past month fell to the lowest level since March 2008, a sign that the job market is healing.

There were many high-profile cases that captured headlines in 2012 –- too many.

From Gabby Douglas and Mike Trout to Ricky Rubio and RG3, 2012 introduced sports fans to some new faces that we’ll likely be seeing for years to come. Not only did the London Olympics put a spotlight on several new talents across a range of sports in 2012 but the high profile professional leagues also welcomed several impact athletes that may be sticking around.
Angels outfielder Mike Trout had one of the best rookie years ever in Major League Baseball. Meanwhile, the NFL is showcasing a class of rookie quarterbacks so talented that people have already begun making references to the legendary Class of 1983. Of course, perhaps no quarterback burst on to the scene in 2012 quite like redshirt Texas A&M freshman Johnny “Football” Manziel. The Kerrville, Texas native put up incredible numbers — not just for a freshman — accounting for 24 touchdowns through the air and 19 on the ground. He threw for 3419 yards, ran for 1181 en route to becoming the first freshman ever to win the Heisman Trophy.
“This is a moment that I’ve dreamed about since I’ve been a kid running around the backyard pretending I was Doug Flutie throwing Hail Marys to my dad. Now I’m so blessed to be on the stage with such a group of great guys,” Manziel said after winning the award.
2012 was a great year for local news bloopers. From mistaken canoodles to farting hippos to Gangnam Style hurricane dancers, America’s small news sources were really on their game when it came to bringing unexpected laughs.
YouTuber FunnyLocalNews, one of the best resources for all your blooper needs, has put together this highlight reel of the year’s biggest broadcast flubs and bombs. Take a look (there’s some NSFW language here and there) and then tell us your favorite news blooper of 2012.

Two stories that might seem to contradict each other ran in the New York Times this week. One declared the Tea Party movement “significantly weakened” in the wake of November’s elections and on its way to becoming “just another political faction.” The other noted that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell might be concerned about a potential 2014 primary challenge – enough to filibuster any fiscal cliff plan that President Obama and Democrats draw up, no matter how modest.
