Another PA parent opts his child out of PSSA standardized testing as a measure of civil disobedience.  Word of caution:  This can very much hurt a school's Adequate Yearly Progress and ultimately the school may suffer.  But, what if this movement spread amongst parents?  What then?  Would the government take over the school?  Change is hard.

A lady found a sewing needle in her ribs and mashed potatoes.

If i ever found a needle in my food i would sue them also. Yea she could have got HIV from it or another disease, but what is she swallowed it.

I wonder if the lady put the needle in her food and then just said that it was in there. She really doesn't have any proof that they put it in there. Also, Chilies doesn't use needles in any way to prepare their food so why would it be in their.

With every tornado it just gets worse and if not its going to.

Natural disasters are a terrible thing to suffer from, because you can't blame anybody for your misfortunes. I think that people should read these articles and become more aware of how devastating they can be, and more people will be inclined to seek more protective shelter.

The primary suspect in the brutal beating of a of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodgers Stadium is Giovanni Ramirez. He is 31 years old and is associated with the Varrio Nuevo Estrada street gang. It is one of 34 gangs in a 15-square-mile area east of downtown Los Angeles.

I really can't believe that somebody has the guts to beat somebody up for something so little and stupid. That guy can't even like his favorite baseball team without getting beat up for it. I think that it is a great thing that the giants players are giving a reward to anyone with answers. It really shows that they care about their fans.

when stuff like this happens it needs to be dealt with and have major consequences. when this happens it just looks bad on the sport and general managers that do not provide enough security. this is a major problem at sporting events.

Chrysler has paid off $7.6 billion to U.S and Canadian government. They repaid the loans 6 years ahead of schedule. also because of the loans they were able to hire 6000 workers

This is great especially with the economy the way it is. Other companies should follow the ways of Chrysler so we can get our economy back on track.

That is great and it may show signs that our country is slowly recovering from the recession we are in, maybe this will give people motivation to start looking for jobs again.

A volcanic eruption began in Iceland. Early Tuesday the ash spread to Europe. This forced many British airlines to cancel many flights. This ash is predicted to spread over Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, according to Britain's weather agency, the Met Office. There is also a strong possibility it could affect Denmark. The ash can be a serious hazard to aircraft, reducing visibility, damaging flight controls and ultimately causing jet engines to fail. This volcano affected many airlines and traveling.

This was pretty scary hearing since after there was a prediction that the world was going to end Saturday.

this is great just what the world needs more backed up air flights.

57-year-old Jacqueline Berghorn came face-to-face with a bear at her home in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. It pushed her down and she hit a glass door. The bear then ran away, right through a fence. Berghorn said it came back and her husband fired two shots at it. He missed and the bear ran off.One of Berghorn's neighbors said a bear killed six chickens on his property Sunday, but it's believed to be a different bear.

I agree with kayleen, the bear must have a motive behind doing this. Black bears arent really that mean of bears. they usually keep to themselves.

It's not unlikely to have bears around our houses and places where we do activities. We just need to be careful in case we do see one to know what to do.

A San Francisco Giants fans was beaten inside the stadium by a criminal gang member the police have discovered. Giovanni Ramirez, 31, is associated with the Varrio Nuevo Estrada street gang, one of 34 gangs in a 15-square-mile area east of downtown Los Angeles, said Jose Carrillo, the lead detective in the case.(CNN Wire Staff)

The United States was once one of the most rapidly growing countries in the world, but that is not the case now. Slow population growth can be a good thing, as the U.S. is in a recession the way it is, and more people can make it worse, especially with jobs currently being difficult to find. From the 90's to 2000, the U.S. was growing at 13.2%, and from 2000 to 2010, it has grown 9.7%. 43% of the growth is Hispanics, which shows how rapidly we our adapting to a diverse community. Studies show that the U.S. is becoming a middle aged country, which will most likely harm us if we don't get out of the recession, because that will be even more money being drained once all the middle aged people are able to collect Social Security.

A Tornado hit Canadian Country, Oklahoma and a 3 year old kid went missing along with another 500 people who were killed. This season has been the deadliest season since 1953. Rescuers and volunteers have been searching the land for survivors day in and day out.

Ryan Hamil went missing Tuesday after ferocious weather. He was with his mother and siblings when the storm hit. The mother has broken bones bruises and cuts and the father was away but returned. They were last searching a 16-mile stretch. They have taken refuge in a bathtub. Its one of the worst since 1953 and their hearts go out.

The storm must have been very strong to take a child away from his mother. Hopefully they keep searching until they find the child. I've seen pictures of the wreckage and it will be a struggle but we can hope everything will be all right.

Ok i understand that we don't wanna start any more problems with terrorist but why wont Obama show us some pictures? I think the Navy Seals should be happy that they killed Bin Laden and release some pictures of him. I do believe that he is dead but i still have my doubts just because they wont show us some proof. If they would release the pictures to everyone then no one will doubt Obama. I think that it will make Obama look a lot better and its right in time since the elections are coming up next year.
