People seem to have a love-hate relationship with dogs dressed up like humans, but that hasn't stopped the Internet from churning out more ridiculous memes.

The latest installment: Dogs wearing pantyhose (OK, we're classing it up a bit, Dis Magazine called it "bitches wearing pantyhose") is a trend picking up in China, according to Sharp Daily, a Hong Kong news site.

For the first time since the 1970s, more Americans favor legalization of marijuana than oppose it. According to new research from the Pew Research Center, 52% of Americans say pot should be legalized, and 45% still oppose it. This shift in attitude may have something to do with an aging Baby Boomer population, the authors suggest, since boomers’ opinions about legalization have waxed and waned conspicuously over the years. More Boomers are supportive now than ever before – but it’s not only this generation who thinks it’s time to legalize.

The Millennial generation, who are currently between 18 and 32 years old, favor its legalization even more than their parents and grandparents, with 65% in support. But among the next generation up – Generation X, now 33 to 48 – only 54% feel it should be legalized. This may have something to do with the fact that this generation grew up in the anti-drug period of the 90s, when the “war on drugs” was in the air, and legalization was not a popular concept.

The Baby Boomers’ opinions have changed dramatically over the years since opinions have been recorded: In 1978, their support was near what it is today, at 47%. But, according to Pew, it took a plunge in the 1980s, and was at all all-time low in 1990, at just 17%. From 1994 on, baby boomer support has risen fairly steadily, and is now at 50%.

While backtracking from a statement in which he suggested the Baltimore Ravens cut him because of his gay rights activism, Brendon Ayanbadejo said that a group of four NFL players could come out at the same time in order to "share the backlash" that might accompany such an announcement.

The tidbit was included in a Baltimore Sun story aboutAyanbadejo's continued support for the Ravens, even after his release. One day earlier, the linebacker and special teams-stalwart insinuated that his outspoken views on gay rights played a role in getting cut. He clarified that statement by saying he "loves the Ravens" and thinks his release had to do with football and finances, not his views.

But it was a quote buried at the bottom of the piece that was most interesting. Ayanbadejo was asked about his recent statement that an NFL player would come out as gay during his playing career.

The LAPD said Friday the man charged with kidnapping and assaulting a 10-year-old girl in Northridge may be hiding out in Mexico.

Chief Charlie Beck said Tobias Summers was recorded on security video at the Tecate border crossing footbridge last Saturday -- just before he was publicly identified as the prime suspect in the abduction.

“Summers is unlikely to blend in to the general population, we assume he is hunkered down hiding someplace,” Beck told reporters.

Prosecutors who specialize in foreign extraditions have been assigned to the case, and Beck added it was unclear if Summers is still in Mexico or crossed back into the United States.

Car culture was the last element I embraced in my new life as an Angeleno. The first few months I lived here, filling my gas tank made me physically ill. The cost! The fossil fuels! The hours spent in traffic! I may have cried about it once or twice, alone in my sad sublet behind one of Silver Lake's six thousand hair salons.

Three years later, I relish surface-street shortcut strategies just as much as I once relished plotting how best to escape my high school's Bronx campus to sneak down to IHOP during assemblies, and I crave Steve Inskeep and Renee Montagne on my morning commute just as much as I once craved a novel or a newspaper.

And yet I still cannot stomach the casual ubiquity of drunk driving in this city. I see it every weekend among friends, acquaintances and strangers. The stammering insistence that you are cogent. The shrug showing you believe there is no alternative. The sloppy slip into the driver's seat.

(CNN) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was treated with blood thinners on Monday at a New York hospital to help dissolve a blood clot in her head and doctors were confident she would make a full recovery.

Clinton was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday due to the clot that was discovered during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said.

The clot was located in the vein between the brain and and the skull behind Clinton's right ear and did not result in any stroke or neurological damage, her doctors said in a statement.

Clinton was treated with blood thinners to help dissolve the clot and would be released once the medication dose had been established, they said.

Many residents get in shape on the beachfront oasis known as Santa Monica. From sunrise to sunset, there’s huffing and puffing in the city’s parks as trainers put their students through the paces of every form of exercise imaginable.

All along the lush green acres paralleling the Pacific Ocean are groups of a dozen or more people furiously pumping iron, doing sit-ups, stepping on and off little benches and stretching on mats. Some flex their muscles with weight machines tied by big rubber bands to pretty much anything that’s anchored to the ground.

“It’s starting to look like a 24-hour fitness gym out there,” complained Johnny Gray, an assistant track coach at UCLA and former Olympic runner who says he’s often forced to navigate around weight machines, barbells and other exercise impediments as he runs.

Negotiators have agreed to let expiring tax rates rise for Americans earning $400,000 or more, but a broader "fiscal cliff" deal hinges on an agreement on spending cuts.

President Obama said Monday that Congress is making progress on a short-term "fiscal cliff" deal, but it is increasingly clear as a midnight deadline approaches that Washington will have to fix the impending tax hikes and spending cuts retroactively.

House Republicans advised members Monday afternoon that no votes were expected on a final deal tonight, but cautioned that the situation is "very fluid."

Negotiators have signed off on the provisions of a deal affecting tax rates, according to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., but an ongoing dispute over how and whether to turn off impending spending cuts remains a hurdle.
