ABC News Doctor Jamie Zimmerman Dies After Hawaiian Accident

Jamie Zimmerman, who served as a doctor and reporter for the ABC News medical unit, drowned while on vacation in Hawaii. She was 31. According to a note from ABC News President James Goldston to staff, Zimmerman was attempting to cross the Lumhai River on Kauai’s north shore when she lost her footing and was swept out to sea. 

Zimmerman’s mother, Jordan Zimmerman, confirmed her death with a message on Zimmerman’s Facebook page.

“Those of you who knew Jamie or perhaps read some of her writings knew that she loved people above all else. It was her passion to be of service and teaching meditation was her calling,” 

Jordan Zimmerman wrote. “In her short 31 years Jamie traveled the globe representing America as a caring mindfulness ambassador. 

Her accomplishments included helping Congolese refugees in Zambia, volunteering in a cash-strapped hospital in India, building classrooms in Uganda, and working with indigenous people on the Amazon in Peru.

Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her Marriage: 'Brad and I Have Our Issues'

It's been about 10 years since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have shared the big screen together. While the filming their new movie By the Sea was a bit of a "honeymoon" for the couple, the actress also admits that their marriage isn't perfect.

The Today show offered a first look into Jolie's photo shoot and interview with Vogue magazine, in which she talked about working with Pitt again and posed with her husband and their six children.

 

By the Sea is a lot more dramatic then Jolie and Pitt's 2007 romantic comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Set in France during the mid-1970s, the film follows former dancer Vanessa (Jolie) and her husband Roland (Pitt), an American writer, as they travel the countryside together.

Can Rubio's lean campaign keep up with Bush's behemoth?

Hundreds of donors to Jeb Bush's presidential campaign will gather later this month in Houston. They'll shake hands with a pair of former presidents, and high-profile lieutenants of the former Florida governor will push them to write generous checks. This weekend in Las Vegas, dozens of donors met up with Marco Rubio. They ate fast-food hamburgers, shook hands with a celebrity pawn-shop owner and played flag football with the Florida senator.  

"I'd say he threw five interceptions, maybe three or four touchdown passes," Wayne Berman, Rubio's national finance chairman, said playfully. "There were a lot of middle aged guys trying to show off."

Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio, left, and Jeb Bush talk during a break during the first Republican presidential debate at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

There are more than a dozen major candidates in the Republican presidential primary, and while outsiders Donald Trump and Ben Carson top the current preference polls, it's the two Floridians — Bush and Rubio — at the head of the second wave.

They're competing for same donors who traditionally support GOP White House candidates, and their October finance summits illustrate how each plans to pay for their presidential ambitions with the hand he was dealt.
