Facebook to Help Find Organ Donors

ABC News' Robin Roberts talks to Mark Zuckerberg about the site's new tool.

Conversations over the dinner table with his med-student girlfriend helped Mark Zuckerberg formulate his latest big idea -- harnessing the power of Facebook to help eliminate the critical shortage of organs for patients desperately in need of life-saving transplants.

And it was his friendship with Apple founder Steve Jobs, whose life was extended by years following a liver transplant, in part, that spurred the 27-year-old Facebook founder and CEO to help put that idea into practice.

"Facebook is really about communicating and telling stories... We think that people can really help spread awareness of organ donation and that they want to participate in this to their friends. And that can be a big part of helping solve the crisis that's out there," Zuckerberg told ABC's Robin Roberts in an exclusive interview at the company's headquarters.

Starting today, users in the United

What if you could remember every single day of your life and have it available for instant recall?

Everything from childhood birthday parties, Christmases, your first day of school, and your last. What were you doing that day? Who were you with? What day of the week was it? What did you have for lunch?

Actress Marilu Henner says she can remember it all. And you probably remember her as Elaine Nardo from the hit TV show "Taxi."

She can recall off, the top of her head, the exact day she got the part.

"It was June 4 of 1978. It was a Sunday and I found out at the 'Grease' premiere party," Henner said. "'Taxi' is so vivid to my mind. The very first rehearsal was July the 5 th of 1978. That was a Wednesday and our first show was shot the 14 th, a Friday."

The actress, who has also starred in "L.A. Story" (1991) and "Man on the Moon" (1999), is one of only 12 people in the world diagnosed with hyperthymesia, also known as Highly Superior

Andrew Breitbart Died of Heart Failure: Coroner

Conservative blogger and commentator Andrew Breitbart died of heart failure stemming from coronary artery disease,  Los Angeles County coroner's office officials said.

The 43-year-old collapsed as he was walking his dog near his Brentwood home and died on March 1.

Breitbart had a negligible amount of alcohol in his system, but no prescription or illicit drugs were found, said Craig Harvey, spokesperson for the coroner's office.

Harvey said foul play was not suspected and the case has been closed.

A conservative blogger and journalist, Breitbart helped launch the Huffington Post and was an editor at the Drudge Report.

He also founded his own news network, acting as the publisher of several news websites including Breitbart.com, Breitbart.tv, Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism and Big Peace.

Big Government broke an alleged ACORN scandal and also, in 2011, the "Weinergate" photo scandal that led to the resignation of New York Rep. Anthony

By Russell Goldman and Emily Friedman Acting very much like the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney sent a curt message to President Barack Obama today:  "Start packing."

The message, delivered with a chuckle, came in an exclusive interview with "World News" anchor  Diane Sawyer who asked the presumptive GOP nominee if he had something to say to the president.

Romney said Obama's "policies have not helped the American people.  They have not helped get jobs, they have not helped raise incomes and they've added trillions of dollars of debt."

He was backed by his wife of 43 years, Ann Romney, who told Sawyer she also had a message for Obama. "I believe it's... Mitt's time... It's our turn now," she said.

See the exclusive interview tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET on "World News With Diane Sawyer" and 11:35 p.m. ET on "Nightline."

Last week, the Romney campaign was able to flip the Democrats' so-called "war on women" strategy by highlighting a Democratic strategist's attacks on Ann Romney Read More »

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow took to the pulpit this morning in Georgetown, Texas,  on the holiest day of the Christian calendar to share his personal story of faith. In an interview during the service that lasted for about 20 minutes, he explained how he believes God deserves all the glory.

Pastor Joe Champion at Celebration Church says he received an "out of the blue" phone call from Tebow, asking if he could come to Georgetown and speak on Easter Sunday.

Champion said yes.

The church rented more than 100 buses to drive people to the service, and people arrived hours early to save a seat near the front.

About 15,000 people attended the outdoor service.

"Obviously, it's our Super Bowl. Easter is the resurrection of Christ in which we celebrate in our faith,"  Champion said.

Champion said that despite his famous guest today, the message is still that God is great.

"There will be a sacredness of Easter. It's not a Tim Tebow show; it's not about a celebrity," Champion

Donald Trump's sons are facing more scrutiny for their African hunting expedition that recently came to light.

The trip is currently the subject of an investigation led by conservationists in Zimbabwe.

Donald Trump Jr., who stars on " The Celebrity Apprentice" alongside his dad, and his brother Eric sparked outrage among animal lovers on Twitter earlier this month after photos surfaced of the two posing with animals they killed during a 2011 safari trip in Africa. Trump Jr. later defended their actions in part by tweeting, "I'm a hunter, for that I make no apologies."

The task force says Trump Jr. and his brother killed an elephant, a buffalo and a crocodile, among other animals. In one of the leaked

Safeway, America's second largest supermarket chain, has announced it will no longer sell what the meat industry calls "lean finely textured beef" and the public has come to call "pink slime".

Safeway says in a statement "considerable consumer concern" led to its decision even though the chain believes its beef with the controversial filler in it is safe

"Safeway is committed to providing our customers with the highest-quality products," the company said in a statement. "While the USDA and food industry experts agree that lean finely textured beef is safe and wholesome, recent news stories have caused considerable consumer concern about this product.  Safeway will no longer purchase ground beef containing lean finely textured beef."

Makers of "lean finely textured beef" and the USDA  say that it is not an additive and need not be labeled, and is safe to eat. But critics, including former USDA scientists, contend the ammonia treated "pink slime" - made from low quality scraps

A brave mother fought off a shark that attacked her daughter as the two were surfing, the same day another surfer was attacked on the same Floriday beach.

The  two incidents Wednesday are among a series of shark attacks in recent days, as the underwater predators have seemed to enter shallow coastal waters earlier than usual, with the warmer than usual weather this year.

Valeh Levy and her 15-year-old daughter, Sydney, were paddling on their surfboards Wednesday off New Smyrna Beach when a shark suddenly pulled the teen underwater - twice. Levy pulled her daughter onto her board.

"It was to me like a scene out of 'Jaws,' where the girl's getting sucked under, and I said, 'There's no way this thing is going to kill my daughter,' and I grabbed her shoulders and I pulled her up and I threw her on the nose of my board," Levy told WKMG-TV.

The shark continued circling Levy and her daughter until two nearby surfers heard their screams and helped them to shore.
