WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. economy added 204,000 jobs in October, an unexpected burst of hiring in a month when the government was partly shut down for 16 days, and far more jobs in August and September than previously thought.

"The marriage penalty results largely from the fact that the combined salaries of couples can push them out of the range of eligibility faster than if they were unmarried and their paychecks were treated separately."

"Teacher slayings in Nevada and Massachusetts this week are the latest examples of how educators feel schools are less of a traditional safe haven, especially from gun violence that killed one of the instructors, an education firm says."

"The Supreme Court, which asks for God's protection before every public session, will settle a dispute over prayer in the halls of government."

People are getting really ridiculous with this prayer thing. If you don't agree, don't say "Amen". It's the same as if you don't like the pledge of allegiance and so you don't put your hand over your heart but you stand. Just deal with it. We have no choice but to hear the pledge, so you shouldn't make a big deal about something that has always gone on and has never harmed anyone.

Danvers, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Students will get back to reading, writing and arithmetic on Thursday at schools all over this small Massachusetts town. Except for one. Danvers High School. Students and their parents there will talk to grief counselors. They and police investigators are asking why their much loved math teacher was killed.

Ronda Sloan, a spokeswoman for the Kentucky Department of Insurance, explained the policy this way: "In this case, you're talking about an entirely new product. They had to file a completely new policy. ... It was easier just to start from scratch."

(CBS) -- Several people are in the hospital after police say a popular ride at the North Carolina State fair, malfunctioned. It happened late last night. Investigators say they have at least 30 witnesses who may be better able to explain what happened moments before and after the accident.

This is why I never will ride upside down or spiny rides.

Der Spiegel reported Thursday that Thomas Oppermann, who leads the parliamentary committee that scrutinizes Germany's intelligence services, complained that "the NSA's monitoring activities have gotten completely out of hand, and take place beyond all democratic controls."

Sad, why do people have to be so cruel

Bullying is to hard to detect now a days hard to stop

Here at our school, bullying is a big issue when basing it off of what I see on a typical day. There are students and teachers who do their best to prevent it as much as possible, but then there are some who allow it to happen without ever making any sort of attempt to stop it. I do not think that charges should be made against anyone for this case, however. To me it's like throwing a rock at nothing and expecting it to hit something. How would pressing charges do anything? How do you know that doing so would affect the people who had bullied the kid in the first place? Unless there's evidence of who committed the actions, why, and how, then I don't think that suing anyone would be justified. But, I do believe that making and enforcing more rules to target bullying would help decrease it, as well as make people more conscious of how their words and actions affect people.

"The parents of an 8-year-old South Dakota girl want the police officer who stunned their daughter with a Taser disciplined, but the police chief said Wednesday that the officer acted properly and may have saved the little girl's life."

If the girls life was in danger or the officers I would see why he would use a tazer but other wise he should of used a different approach.

She was endangering herself and the officer, he used the least harmful weapon he had. He saved that girls life he should not be getting sued. Obviously the parents are blind to their own kids problems, that's what they should be focusing on.

"President Barack Obama's administration is urging the Supreme Court not to take up the first case it has received on controversial National Security Agency cybersnooping."

Republicans give in to plan just in time; but will it last?

"It's over, for now: Obama signs bill to end partial shutdown, hike debt ceiling"

i think the government is becoming to corrupt and that with the shut down they are showing weakness and that it could be a start of a possible war between the countries
