Well, I'm sure it's good news for whoever took the puppy.

The Asian carp is a huge problem in my area. They are an invasive species that reproduce like crazy and competes with food sources from other fish. Locals don't like the taste of them so it's hard to get us to eat them as a means to cull their population. However, the Chinese love the taste of Asian carp, so people have been fishing for them in droves and selling them to China. It's nice to hear about China actually solving an ecological crisis instead of starting one. Makes me tingly.

The students are terrified and huddle together. Suddenly, Lacey hears a large pop right next to her. Instinctively, she knows it is a former classmate from High School, Treven Anspach, who has been shot.
Lacey is too shaken to describe what happened next. Her father, pastor Randy Scroggins, tells it in his own words: “She felt the weight of his body on her. She opened her eyes and he was lying in the same direction as her, a little bit ahead of her. Then she saw his blood coming under her arms. She heard a gurgling sound coming from his throat and felt him move closer to her to cover her.”
Her father continues: ”And then at that time, she said, ‘I heard the shooter over me say, ‘Get up.’”
She froze. The shooter asked another person, “Is she dead?” referring to Lacey.
The person said, “I don’t know.”
The shooter stepped over Lacey and shot someone else.
“The blood of that boy, Treven, saved my daughter’s life,” Scroggins said. “I know it as well as I know that I’m sitting here. He will always be the Scroggins’ hero, from this point forward.”
It is exactly because Treven, with his last dying breath, laid himself on top of Lacey that she survived.

A Cross Lanes man is in rehab after telling deputies President Barack Obama’s speech last week inspired him to kick his drug addiction, officials say.
No criminal charges were filed against the man, who was then taken to a treatment center, where he voluntarily entered a drug addiction rehabilitation program. “If you’re genuinely an addict who wants help, the first responders around the Kanawha Valley want to help,” Sgt. Brian Humphreys said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Tj Maxx, Marhsalls and Homegoods are making a statement by not being open on Thanksgiving. They're not worried about money. They raised and donated $2 million to food banks.
A bunch of other stores are staying closed on Thanksgiving too.
