• American Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones said she wanted to show how hard bobsled athletes work when she posted a six-second clip about her paycheck on social video sharing site Vine.

    In the video, Jones, 30, shows her paycheck of $741.84 from her season with the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Federation, dated June 10. She says in the Vine video, "Seven months with bobsled season, the whole season. That's it?"

    "I don't want to make anyone mad, and I've always wanted to help out the bobsled athletes. Some of them have debt because they've given their life to the sport," Jones said in a statement after critics said that she was receiving more than other bobsled athletes.

    In the video, she spoke, apparently in jest, into a phone saying, "I'm going to be a little late on my rent."

    While Jones had the support of several sponsors, including McDonald's and Red Bull, she didn't receive a medal at the Summer Olympics in London last year but she may be eligible to compete at the next winter

  • United Airlines said a Boeing 787 Dreamliner en route to Tokyo made an emergency landing in Seattle, marking yet another hiccup that has plagued the fleet since January.

    When the Dreamliner plane en route from Denver International Airport to Tokyo reached the Pacific Ocean off Vancouver Island Tuesday something went awry with an oil filter in one of its engines, United said in a statement.

    "United flight 139 from Denver to Tokyo-Narita diverted to Seattle due to an indication of a problem with an oil filter. The aircraft landed normally and without incident and we are working to re-accommodate customers," United said.

    Boeing said they're aware of the emergency landing and "engaged with United to provide any support required." The engine is made by General Electric and Boeing says it's "coordinating" with them on the issue.
