Former President Barack Obama announced Thursday morning that his new book, "A Promised Land," will be released on Nov. 20."There's no feeling like finishing a book, and I'm proud of this one. In A Promised Land, I try to provide an honest accounting of my presidency, the forces we grapple with as a nation, and how we can heal our divisions and make democracy work for everybody," Obama said in a Tweet Thursday.According to the book's website, the new release will be the first volume of Obama's presidential memoirs and it will cover his story from a young man to the first Black president.The book describes "in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil."The description also said that Obama will reflect on his presidency and bring readers inside the White House."'A Promised Land' is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage," the website reads.In 2018, former First Lady Michelle Obama released her memoir, "Becoming," which became the top-selling book of the year and lead to a nationwide tour and Netflix documentary.Obama has written three other books — "Dreams from my Father" which came out in 1995, "The Audacity of Hope" in 2006 and a children's book, "Of Thee I Sing" in 2010.This story was originally published by Max White on WXYZ in Detroit. 1502

For most of his career, Louis C.K. has been known as one of the most self-deprecating comics in the business.So it should not have been a total shock when the comedian released a lengthy statement of apology Friday following the New York Times story published a day before that included sexual misconduct allegations from five women.Louis C.K. did what many celebs have not, however, by admitting guilt."These stories are true," Louis C.K. said in his statement.Compared to Harvey Weinstein, who denied rape and other accusations, and Kevin Spacey, who apologized but claimed he doesn't remember assaulting actor Anthony Rapp, Louis C.K.'s mea culpa is considered by some as a step in the right direction.Still, the reaction to his admission, and his contention that he's "remorseful," has been decidedly mixed.While some found it admirable that Louis C.K. fully copped to his offenses, others took to social media to say that his statement in no way negates what he did.Some pointed out that the apology came after the revelations were made public, and Louis C.K. had lost a distribution deal for his movie, a forthcoming stand-up special with Netflix and his content was removed from HBO streaming services.For years, there was chatter about Louis C.K.'s inappropriate behavior toward women.As recently as September, the comic denied the charges to the New York Times, stating that they were "rumors."And some noted that C.K., while apologetic, didn't actually say "I'm sorry" to the women. Nowhere in his nearly 500-word statement were there the words "sorry," "apology" or "apologize."The one thing that many people think is a good thing: The comic says that while he has spent most of his career "talking and saying anything I want" he "will now step back and take a long time to listen." 1801

First it was Hurricane Harvey, then Irma. And in the end, millions of people desperately need help.If you weren't directly affected and would like to chip in, the good news is that many companies will let you double your donation.How to extend your giftThe American Red Cross has become the go to charity for victims of both hurricanes. And it has partnered with a number of big corporations, who are promising to match your gift, giving it double and even triple the impact.If you are in Walmart or Sam's Club in the coming days, look for signs at cash registers explaining how to donate and get their match, through Saturday, Sept. 16. Walmart has promised to match donations two-to-one with cash or products.You can do it in store, or at Walmart's website.Also, many employers are doubling their workers donations.Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and AT&T are among those who have been matching employee gifts, some two-to-one. Be sure to check with your specific employer to see if they're offering a similar initiative.Beware of donation scam emailsBut be cautious of scammers who want to take your donations.Watch out for email phishing scams claiming to be from the Red Cross and other charities, asking you to donate. Several federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, are warning consumers to be wary of bogus emails related to the hurricanes.You should know that scammers may use names that are similar to reputable charities. Those copycats may misspell the organization's name or make a subtle tweak, hoping you don't notice. The federal agencies also say you should avoid cash donations when possible, and never write checks to individuals claiming to be victims.If you are not sure about a charity, especially one that calls or emails you, do not agree to help them out.First, look them up online at guidestar.org, give.org, or the Better Business Bureau, and check them out, so you don't waste your money._________________Don't Waste Your Money” is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc.
