'Latino kids now majority in state's public schools' - SF Gate 1

These type of articles usually provoke rage in newspaper comment sections.


'Should You Be Snuggling With Your Cellphone? - NYT 2

Wow, sticking one's head in a microwave might be dangerous too !


'Report: Chinese Develop Special "Kill Weapon" to Destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers' - US Naval Institute3

A Game Changer.


'Brazil's Lula Says World Headed For 'Bankruptcy' Unless Rich Nations Act' - Dow Jones 4

'World Bank head calls for monetary system linked to gold' - World Socialist Web Site 5

Linked to because it references that "The US share of world auto production in 1950 was 79 percent. In 1955, it accounted for nearly 40 percent of world steel production."

'Early Humans More Advanced Than Thought' - Science/Bloomberg 6

"Early humans were using a highly skilled stone tool sharpening method 75,000 years ago in Africa, more than 50,000 years earlier than previously believed, a new study indicates.

This adds more evidence that modern behavior developed over time during the Middle Stone Age rather than after our ancestors migrated from Africa to Europe, as some scientists have thought."
