Newly released surveillance video shows a convicted murderer escaping from a Pennsylvania prison by stretching himself between a pair of parallel walls and walking up them. Danelo Cavalcante, 34, extended his 5-foot, 120-pound body across the walls in the exercise yard to push himself to the roof of the Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township last week. Another inmate who has since been recaptured also escaped from that same area of the prison in May. A manhunt for Cavalcante entered its eighth day on Thursday, and a pair of nearby school districts were closed for the last two days after several sightings of Cavalcante in the area. Here's the latest. |

More than 150 rescuers are racing to save Mark Dickey, 40, who was leading an expedition deep inside a cave in Turkey when he began experiencing gastrointestinal bleeding. He has been stranded 3,412 feet underground inside the Morca Cave since Sept. 2, according to the Turkish Caving Federation. The organization said in a statement yesterday that Dickey's bleeding has stopped, but he needs a stretcher to be removed from the cave.

The trick to breaking bad habits is simpler than you think. "Bad habits are often the result of two things: not having a habit at all or genuinely having a routine, just an unhealthy one," psychiatrist Dr. Sue Varma said on TODAY. Overcoming bad habits mainly requires two things: identifying the triggers for them in advance, and making sure it isn't easy to indulge in them. For instance, if you find yourself heading for the ice cream after you get home from work, then don't keep ice cream in the house. Dr. Varma also gave us 4 tips for creating good habits, plus 3 ways to maintain them. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Back in 1990, Laura Everett Bowling was a nervous freshman moving into Emerson Hall at Miami University in Ohio. Thirty-three years later, her daughter, Sarah Bowling, received her dormitory assignment from Miami in the mail. "I said, 'Are you kidding me — this was my exact room,'" Laura told TODAY.com. The family had come to her alma mater over the years for swim meets and Sarah's figure skating lessons. Now, the old dorm room that once had Laura's beefcake poster of Lorenzo Lamas on the wall and milk crates as storage containers now contains Sarah's MacBook and baseball hat collection. "If I'm homesick, I'll remember that my mom was once here and she turned out great," Sarah said. See more photos here. |
