LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Funeral services were pending Tuesday for veteran stage, screen and TV actress Conchata Ferrell, perhaps best remembered for her role as Charlie Sheen's sharp-witted housekeeper Berta on the long-running sitcom "Two and a Half Men.""She was a beautiful human," her "Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer wrote on his Twitter page. "Berta's gruff exterior was an invention of the writers. Chatty's warmth and vulnerability were her real strengths. I'm crying for the woman I'll miss, and the joy she brought so many."... I'm glad that I absolutely knew how fortunate I was to share a stage with her," he wrote. "I treasured every moment and will continue to until we meet again. I have a feeling she'll call me 'Zippy."'Sheen tweeted, "An absolute sweetheart, a consummate pro, a genuine friend, a shocking and painful loss. Berta, your housekeeping was a tad suspect, your `people' keeping was perfect."Ferrell, 77, died Monday, surrounded by family at Sherman Oaks Hospital, the celebrity news website Deadline reported.Ferrell had been hospitalized since May. TMZ reported in July that she had fallen ill and wound up spending a month in intensive care, eventually suffering cardiac arrest that left her on a ventilator and unable to communicate. She was ultimately transferred to a long-term care facility, with her husband, Arnie Anderson, telling the website the family was hoping for the best.A native of West Virginia, Ferrell had an award-winning stage career before moving on to films and television. She earned a pair of Emmy nominations for her work on "Two and a Half Men." She was also nominated for her work on "L.A. Law."She appeared in a series of notable films, including the classics "Network" and "Mystic Pizza," along with "Erin Brockovich" and "Edward Scissorhands."On the small screen, she appeared in a string of shows dating back to the mid-1970s, including "Maude," "B.J. and the Bear," "Hearts Afire," "Teen Angel," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Touched by an Angel" and most recently "The Ranch."She is survived by her husband and daughter, Samantha. 2104

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The FBI is looking for three suspects who kidnapped a Chinese man after a business meeting in the Los Angeles area last month, but authorities haven't heard from the kidnappers since they demanded a million ransom and the man remains missing, investigators said Monday.Ruochen "Tony" Liao, 28, was abducted by three men on July 16 in San Gabriel — about 10 miles (16 kilometers) east of downtown Los Angeles — according to Gene Kowel, an assistant special-agent-in-charge at the FBI's office in Los Angeles.Liao, who owns a Southern California car dealership that sold high-end cars, such as Porches and Bentleys, had just finished an evening meeting with several business associates when three men pulled up in two vehicles — a Toyota minivan and a Range Rover — and abducted him, officials said.After they kidnapped him, the abductors contacted Liao's family and demanded that they pay a million ransom, but the money was not paid, Kowel said.On Monday, the FBI released a sketch of one of the men they believe was involved in the kidnapping, who they suspect may have been an acquaintance of Liao. The man, who the FBI identified only as "David," had attended the business meeting with Liao, according to Matthew Lombard, an attorney for Liao's family.Investigators are examining several theories in the case, including the possibility that Liao was involved in a business dispute and Liao had previously been involved in business deals with people who "were not the most reputable," Kowel said.Although the kidnappers had reached out initially to demand the ransom, Liao's family has not heard from them in about a month, he said."Our hope is that Tony is still alive. We're operating under the premise that he is still alive," Kowel said. "However, we do become concerned as these cases progress the chance of someone remaining alive can diminish."Liao's relatives, who live in China, are offering a 0,000 reward, in addition to a ,000 reward being offered by the FBI for information that could lead them to locating Liao."He is a deeply loved person by his family," Lombard said. "He's their only child and they are very, very concerned for him." 2191

Locals call Atlanta, Georgia, the city too busy to hate.During early voting, however, it’s filled with people who would rather not wait.“We’re trying to make sure that our voices are heard during a really critical moment in our nation’s history,” said local voter Everette Long. “And avoid really long lines.”A record number of voters turned out during the first day of early voting in Georgia this year, including first-time voter Tim Crane.“I stood there for about four hours, but I wasn’t mad,” Crane said. “I was kind of excited to go on and see what voting was like.”Long lines at the polls and broken voting machines were issues for thousands of Georgia voters on primary day back in June, which raised questions about what it would be like when it came time for this year’s presidential election.In an effort to avoid long lines, thousands of voters flocked to the Atlanta Hawks’ State Farm Arena, which was transformed into the state’s largest early polling precinct. Some showed up ready to time any potential delays.“We got here early and it took 17 minutes and 40 seconds to vote,” said Torri Griffin who took her mother, Lena Joiner, to fill out their ballots at the pro basketball arena.Atlanta Hawks basketball head coach Lloyd Pierce moved from the sidelines on the court to the front lines of this early voting site.“Just doing my duty,” Pierce said. “Trying to help making voting easy for everybody.”According to the United States Elections Projects, more than 10 million Americans cast their ballots within the first day-and-a-half of 2020 early voting, a number that shatters the 2016 turnout.While many people tout the benefits of early voting, experts warn there could be some challenges. Political science expert Robert Preuhs, Ph.D. of MSU Denver explains.“If something happens between now and Election Day, that could fundamentally change people’s minds, they’re already going to have their ballot in,” he said.Preuhs says early voting could change the dynamics of this election and alter the timeframe for when ballots are counted.“The big issue is going to be on Election Day, because most states don’t allow for county clerks to count until Election Day and so you have all these ballots that still need to be counted at once,” he said.Despite any perceived challenges, many voters are still showing up early with the hopes of avoiding any kind of voter suppression“However, suppressed people feel, knowing that there are opportunities like this, people feel validated about their decisions,” said local voter Aaron Burkes.They're decisions that will impact the future of our country as Americans in Atlanta can’t wait to make their votes matter, even with Election Day just few weeks away. 2725

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - An initiative to split California into three states has received enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot, its author said Wednesday.Venture capitalist Tim Draper said backers of what he has dubbed "CAL 3" would submit petitions with more than 600,000 signatures to election officials next week. The initiative needs signatures from 365,880 registered voters - five percent of the total votes cast for governor in the 2014 election - to qualify for the ballot."This is an unprecedented show of support on behalf of every corner of California to create three state governments that emphasize representation, responsiveness, reliability and regional identity," Draper said.   Splitting California into three states would require congressional approval. One proposed state would be called California or a name to be chosen by its residents after a split. It would consist of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey and San Benito counties. A second state, Southern California or a name to be chosen by its residents, would consist of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial, Kern, Kings, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera and Mono counties.   The remaining 40 counties would be part of the state of Northern California or a name chosen by its residents.   Draper said he conceived the initiative out of a belief that "the citizens of the whole state would be better served by three smaller state governments while preserving the historical boundaries of the various counties, cities and towns."   Steven Maviglio, a longtime Democratic Party political consultant who was a co-chair of the effort to oppose Draper's 2014 initiative to split California into six states, told City News Service, "Splitting California into three and creating three new governments does nothing to solve our state's challenges other than tripling them." "CAL 3'' has no connection to efforts to have California succeed from the United States. 2050

LOS ANGELES (KGTV) -- Two-time Oscar winner Frances McDormand sent quite a few people to Google Search Sunday night, when she ended her speech with the words "inclusion rider."“Look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed,” she announced. Then she added: “I have two words to leave with you tonight, ladies and gentlemen: inclusion rider.”In the post-show speeches, she explained what those precious words mean - and how surprised she is that she never knew them before. "I just found out about this last week," she said. "An inclusion rider..which means you can ask for and or demand at least 50 percent diversity in not only the casting but also the crew."McDormand went on to say that as a 35-year veteran in the film industry, she was shocked that she never knew about the inclusion rider. "This whole idea of women trending...no," she said shaking her head. "Africans Americans trending...no. It changes now."   1030
