2. Want to know what sold in your neighborhood recently? Voila. 

3. On Sunday, a New York City man carrying a knife jumped over a barrier and ran onto the tarmac at Newark Liberty International Airport before being tackled by a police officer, the Huffington Post reports.

5. Temperatures are expected to reach the low 90s today, with scattered thunderstorms.
