y’all. - Islamic militants released a video of what appears to be the
beheading of American journalist James Foley. U.K.’s foreign
secretary says the
person narrating the video might be British. - Los Angeles
schools will stop sending students to the cops for minor
infractions. “We are about graduation, not incarceration,” L.A.
schools Supt. John Deasy said.
