August 10, 2012 August 11th is "National Garage Sale Day," a day to turn the whole country into one giant shopping mall. Or flea market. If you've been accumulating a lot of "stuff" that is still usable but you haven't used it in a while, you might as well sell it and make a couple of bucks.

A four-year-old girl became stuck in the rails of a second story balcony in China, and hung there precariously until emergency services arrived.
