Today is the 228th day of 2023
and the 57th day of summer.
TODAY’S HISTORY:
In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln prohibited Union states from trading
with states that had seceded.
In 1896, gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada's Yukon
Territory, sparking a gold rush.
In 1977, Elvis Presley died at age 42.
In 2007, U.S. citizen Jose Padilla and two co-defendants were convicted of
conspiracy in a "dirty bomb" terrorism case and sentenced to more than 17
years in prison, increased on appeal to 21.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS:
T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) (1888-1935), soldier/archaeologist/writer; Hal
Foster (1892-1982), author/illustrator; George Meany (1894-1980), union
leader; Charles Bukowski (1920-1994), poet/writer; Ann Blyth (1928-),
actress; Eydie Gorme (1928-2013), singer/actress; James Cameron (1954-
), filmmaker; Angela Bassett (1958-), actress; Madonna (1958-), singer/
actress; Steve Carell (1962-), actor/comedian; Taika Waititi (1975-), actor/
filmmaker; Yu Darvish (1986-), baseball player.
TODAY’S FACT:
An 18-year-old Elvis Presley paid a private recording studio $4 in 1953 to
record "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" on a two-
sided record as, according to legend, a belated birthday gift to his mother.
TODAY’S SPORTS:
In 1954, the first issue of Sports Illustrated was published.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
"At the end of the day, the reality is we're all losers, and we're all
uncoordinated. We're the worst of all of the animals on Earth, and there's
something quite endearing about that." — Taika Waititi
TODAY’S NUMBER:
102,800 — height (in feet) from which Joseph Kittinger jumped during a
record-setting U.S. Air Force experiment on this day in 1960. Though his
height and speed records were broken during the Red Bull Stratos project in
2012, Kittinger's 4 minutes, 36 seconds of free fall remain unsurpassed.
TODAY’S MOON:
New moon (Aug. 16).
