Amazon to Partner with Kohl’s — And Your Garage

Amazon is now rolling out a new feature where packages can be delivered directly into your garage, using Key for Garage. Garage delivery is supposed to be the happy medium between delivering a package inside your home and leaving it on the porch where it’s vulnerable to the weather conditions and package thieves. 

Oh, and if you need to return your garage package (or any Amazon package), you will soon be able to take it to Kohl’s rather than the post office. Because that’s a thing.

‘Full House’ Actress Lori Loughlin Pleads Not Guilty in College Admissions Scandal

Actor Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy in the college admissions scandal. CNN reports, â€œThey also waived their right to appear in court for an arraignment on a money laundering charge, according to the signed documents.” Loughlin’s not guilty plea is her first response in the case where she and her husband are accused of paying $500,000 in fake charity to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California.

Not just any victory, but a 37-foot three point shot at 1.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals. Read more in Adam Shay’s report for CMN.
