Closest exoplanet to the solar system discovered; it could be suitable for life. "...we have now unambiguously detected a planet with a minimum mass 1.3 times that of Earth orbiting the star right in the middle of the goldilocks zone (0.05 AU)...this detection seems quite convincing in that it has a false-alarm probability of less than 0.1% and uses a careful comparison of star activity (done by using additional small telescopes during the survey) that are known to mimic the signal of a planet. That is a very significant new data point to add in our cosmic map." http://www.planetary.org/blogs/guest-blogs/2016/0824-proxima-centauri-b-have-we.html
A real model student ~ sigh Boy doesn't want to go to school, kills grandmother A 14-year-old Pennsylvania boy has been charged with fatally shooting his grandmother during an argument over school. Hunter Riley Reeser, of Harborcreek Township, has been jailed without bond or an attorney on charges including criminal homicide and first-degree murder. State police say he shot 60-year-old Sandra Orton in the head then called her husband Tuesday morning claiming he found the woman wounded. Police responded after Reeser called 911 and say Reeser later acknowledged shooting her. Police say Reeser told them he shot the woman because he didn't want to go to an unspecified school meeting.

The NRA would have said you wasted too much energy when a single bullet strategically placed in the cranium would have eliminated the problem Hotwater
