- Father arrested for picking up his kids from school
- "Jim Howe ... arrived at the school on foot at dismissal time: 2:00 PM. But a new school policy states that students may only leave at 2:00 PM if their parents are picking them up in cars. Walkers must wait until 2:35 PM."
- New powers to restrict potential sex offenders
- "The police will have greater powers to restrict the freedom of any individual they suspect of being a potential sex offender, under government proposals.

- I'm guessing the sentence of a few months probation and then expungement of the record probably wouldn't be the same were the genders reversed.
- The surprising reality behind your daily coffee: The CUP costs twice as much as the beans that are flown in from South America
