Well, Good Morning!   Let's take a look at what the day has in store for us.   So, let's dig in, shall we? Here's What You Need To Know... Why Brian Laundrie is "extremely likely" to face more charges, according to a Florida prosecutor A prosecutor in Florida says that Brian Laundrie will likely face more criminal charges than he does right now, that is, if he is ever found. According to Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg, Laundrie could face additional scrutiny from the jury because "juries hate it when you flee." It's been more than two weeks since the 23-year-old disappeared after his girlfriend's death (which was ruled a homicide) sparked a national interest in the case. His parents could also face charges, should it be discovered that they helped in their son's escape.    "The parents of Brian Laundrie, they have done everything possible to incriminate themselves in the court of public opinion," according to officials. "But in the court of law, that is different. Under the law, to be charged as an accessory after the fact, you need to know that Brian committed a crime and then you have to do something to prevent his punishment or his arrest."  Meanwhile, Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, has taken on the case, and is apparently sending over some evidence to the authorities in hopes of using it to confirm his suspicions that Laundrie was, in fact, at a park in Florida. His daughter says she has fielded tons of calls regarding Laundrie's potential whereabouts. So far, there have been nearly 3,000 tips, she says.  What happens now that 98% of IATSE members voted to authorize a strike and what does that mean for you? Today, the leaders of the International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees and the powers that be at the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers will return to the bargaining table. This meeting comes after 98% of IATSE's 60,0000 members voted to authorize a strike over increasingly long hours, low wages, and other concerns. The international union president Matthew D. Loeb said the move is about quality of life.    "The members have spoken loud and clear… Our people have basic human needs like time for meal breaks, adequate sleep, and a weekend. For those at the bottom of the pay scale, they deserve nothing less than a living wage," Loeb said.  Should the union determine a strike is necessary, it would be the union's first. This could essentially shut down Hollywood, as well as the streaming services many of us have come to love and depend on for entertainment. Compared to the big writer's strike in 2007, this could leave even more profound impacts and devastation. Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram crashed yesterday, and Mark Zuckerberg lost $7 billion It's been a rough time for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and it only seems to be getting worse. Shares of the social media giant plummeted yesterday amid crashes and the 60 Minutes interview that we previously discussed. Since September, shares of the social media giant have fallen 15%. Yesterday, the billionaire's net worth plummeted as well, going so far as to change his ranking in the list among the world's wealthiest people.    He now ranks behind Bill Gates at $120.9 billion. That signifies a drop in value of nearly $7 billion. Although Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp appear to be up and running, many users are still trying to understand just what happened yesterday. In total, the issue spanned six hours.   In a blog post, an official addressed the issue: "To all the people and businesses around the world who depend on us, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by today's outage across our platforms. We've been working as hard as we can to restore access, and our systems are now back up and running. The underlying cause of this outage also impacted many of the internal tools and systems we use in our day-to-day operations, complicating our attempts to quickly diagnose and resolve the problem."    The post continued: "Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication. This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt." Get INSTANT Access (Free of Charge!)
