Forget something? Never fear!
So you’re now all moved in, and the parents are leaving soon. Your first year is starting and your room is all set up with everything you could need this year. But wait, you forgot something! Here is a list of items you may have forgotten, and where to get them the cheapest.
Despite a number of Supreme Court rulings, most recently in 2012, many juveniles have not been able to have their life sentences removed.
Welcome back! Here’s what you missed over the weekend:
The Lead Story: In 2010 and 2012 the Supreme Court ruled against giving mandatory life sentences to juveniles, suggesting they often deserved a chance at redemption. The Court’s ruling has affected the outcome of many cases since then but some states have been slow to re-hear life sentence cases. Reports The New York Times:
But most states have taken half measures, at best, to carry out the rulings, which could affect more than 2,000 current inmates and countless more in years to come, according to many youth advocates and legal experts.

As you might have already learned from the allstu, the Career Development Office is holding a contest. The prize: a $300 Amazon Gift Card. That’s right: $300 to spend on anything you want from Amazon. Maybe your order will even be delivered to you by drone. $300 is a lot of money, and you wouldn’t want to waste it on anything stupid, so I’ve compiled this handy list of some awesome products you can buy on Amazon for $300.
This drone could arrive at your doorstep any day now (not really), so long as you live near an Amazon fulfillment center.
Good morning! Here’s what you missed over the weekend:
The Lead Story: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced last night on CBS’s 60 Minutes that the company was experimenting with same-day delivery by drone. Ideally, according to Bezos, the service would deliver products under 5lbs to consumers within 10 miles of one of the company’s distribution centers. If you live near one of these blue or red dots, you could theoretically receive an Amazon package by drone if the service existed today. FYI, the closest distribution center (they’re actually called “fulfillment centers,” oddly) to Kenyon is in Cincinnati, so we’re out of luck for now. Oh, and the FAA hasn’t approved drones for commercial use yet.
Good morning! Here’s what you missed over the weekend:
The Lead Story: A typhoon struck the Philippines on Saturday, taking more than 10,000 souls in its wake. This had led to widespread looting in Tacloban — one of the worst hit cities — and reports of delays in relief aid. These are the organizations heading up relief.
