Society's Child
An 11-year-old boy is in the hospital after trying to commit suicide -- the victim of bullying at school.
It's not a new problem in North Carolina, but this puts a new face on the age-old problem as Michael Morones remains in WakeMed with a tube down his throat and potentially life-long brain damage.
Michael tried to kill himself, apparently because he could no longer take the torrent of bullying he was facing at school.

Miscarriage of Justice: if you see this officer at a campsite, steer well clear of him.
First the officer in question (pictured below) clearly shoves the cameraman knocking him to the ground - and appears unbothered by what he has done, but he's only getting warmed up. Not content to merely to harass and intimidate (that's come to be expected by police in the new corporate security state), he then attempts to frame the man filming on a fake DUI charge - only the victim was actually a pedestrian walking on a public footpath.

Justin Bieber's arrest isn't the only controversy giving Canadian officials headaches.
Although the whitehouse.gov petition to deport Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has already surpassed the 100,000-signature threshold that triggers a White House response, the Democrat from Virginia told FM 99 he wants to add his name. "As a dad with three daughters, is there some place I can sign?"
Then Warner followed up with this gem of a tweet:
It's true: I'm not a #Belieber. "Senator Mark Warner offers to sign petition to deport Justin Bieber" http://t.co/KQwY6hcN1a

Paul Reville, the former secretary of education for Massachusetts and a Common Core supporter, was one of the panelists.
He shared his thoughts on opponents of the curriculum, stating that critics were a "tiny minority" who opposed standards altogether, which was unfair because "the children belong to all of us."
"The children belong to all of us."
Unbelievable, isn't it? In case you need to hear it to believe it, here's video proof:
The scientific study shows long-term exposure to Wi-Fi alters testes and sperm in rats.

Now the country's Upper House resolves that ban on import of tobacco must end. In a majority resolution on Monday (3 February 2014), the house said ban on import and sale of tobacco products must end to control the black market.
Bhutan had gained fame for being the first country to completely ban on manufacturing, import and sale of any tobacco products. However, the government also received harsh criticism for sending a monk behind bar for years on charge of carrying tobacco products worth Nu 120.
After public outcry over the harshness of the law, the first elected parliament of the country showed some leniency towards tobacco consumers. Many send to jail for selling tobacco were subsequently released on king's order.
