This document describes the experiences of a 13-year-old boy from El Salvador, Walter A, who was detained in the U.S. along with his mother and younger brother after fleeing threats from gang members in their home country. After being apprehended near the Texas border, they were held in cold, unsanitary border patrol stations for around 2 days with minimal food and blankets and no information about their legal rights. Walter, his mother, and brother were separated and transferred to a second, even colder facility holding them in cages with no discussion of legal rights under the Flores settlement.

This document proposes and outlines a reality television show concept called "Forty Shore" that follows eight people ages 38-44 living together in a shore house in New Jersey for the summer. Like Jersey Shore, it will feature partying and drama among the cast. However, as the name suggests, this cast is older and some are married or have kids. Each episode will focus on a different aspect of the housemates' lives and relationships as they bond and sometimes clash over their summer together. Research is cited showing why reality TV concepts like this focusing on ordinary people and emotional drama are popular among viewers. The proposal argues Forty Shore could achieve high ratings by combining elements that made Jersey Shore and Real Housewives of New Jersey successful shows.
A Trenton man was convicted of murdering his brother by setting fire to the home they shared in 2007. The fire killed the man and injured another person.

NBC dominated Thursday night primetime television in the 1990s with scripted sitcoms and dramas like Friends and ER.

This shift reflected reality TV's growing role in television and its business model of reducing costs while increasing opportunities for product placements and audience engagement across media platforms.

The Astros won Game 4 of the World Series against the Nationals, tying the series at two games apiece. An Alex Bregman grand slam helped Houston defeat Washington.

Governor Hickenlooper has ordered the Colorado Department of Corrections to audit thousands of inmate records to ensure prisoners are serving appropriate sentences. This comes after Evan Ebel, who murdered the DOC director, was released from prison four years early due to a clerical error. The DOC will first review cases that required consecutive sentencing, including those convicted of assaulting corrections officers like Ebel. They will also undergo a review of parole procedures by the National Institute of Corrections. Gun rights advocates in Colorado have launched recall efforts against the Senate president and a rural lawmaker for supporting new gun control laws, but the most hardline advocate thinks focusing on the 2014 election may be more effective.

President Obama made the first State of the Union Address of his second term. "It is our
unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country -- the idea that if you work hard
and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you
look like, or who you love," Obama said Tuesday night. He emphasized economic growth and
job creation, insisting these proposals would not increase the federal deficit. The president urged
legislators to work together for the good of the Nation, putting party interests aside.
National headlines also influenced Obama’s speech. He continued to push for tighter gun laws
opposed by the National Rifle Association as well as legislators from both parties. Former U.S.
Representative Gabrielle Giffords was in the audience, as well as the parents of 15-year-old
Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago girl killed by gun violence after returning home from taking part
in the inauguration activities in Washington. Obama listed gun violence victims, including
Hadiya’s parents, Giffords, the families of the Newtown schoolchildren and other victims of
mass shootings. He said “they deserve a vote.” The audience cheered loudly.

4. Police are working to confirm if the human remains found inside of a torched cabin near
Big Bear Lake, California are that of ex-LAPD officer Christopher Jordan Dorner, whose
vendetta against Los Angeles police officers ended in the cabin yesterday with a shootout that
wounded one deputy and left another dead.
After the deputy’s death Tuesday, the total number of people Dorner is accused of killing is now
four. Dorner was first named a suspect in two shooting deaths on February 3: that of his police
union representative’s daughter and her fiancé. Police also say he killed one officer in Riverside,
California, wounding two others.
Dorner vowed in a manifesto posted online to kill police officers as a way to avenge what he
called an unfair termination. Since its posting, the LAPD has provided security and surveillance
details for more than 50 police officers and their families, many whom were named in the
manifesto. Police will continue protecting these people until Dorner is confirmed dead.

The Pope did what?
If you haven’t heard by now, Pope Benedict XVI is stepping down from his position, making
him the first pope to resign in 600 years. While the Pope most likely won’t be sitting on the
beach or playing bingo during his retirement, he will retreat to the papal vacation residence
Castel Gandolfo after his last day as pontiff on February 28, says a Vatican spokesman.
Professor Christopher Bellito of Kean University told abc that the Pope, who is now 85, will
likely spend the final chapter of his life out of the public eye, maybe living with his brother
Monsignor Georg Ratzinger, who is 89.
In his resigning statement, the Pope cited his reasons for stepping down as deteriorating
health as a result of old age, as well as not having the physical and mental strength needed
to do his job.
Bellito calls this an incredibly noble and humble action and says “When [he ] walks away
from it, he really wants to walk away.”

7. France’s lower house of Parliament approved a bill to legalize gay marriage and allow same-sex
couples to adopt children, giving a major legislative victory to President Francois Hollande’s
Socialists on the social issue. Passed by a 329-229 vote, the measure puts France on track with
about a dozen European nations that allow gay marriage. France joins Britain as the largest
European countries to do so. The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Spain, as well as
Argentina, Canada and South Africa have authorized gay marriage, along with nine U.S. states
and the District of Columbia.
President Hollande made legalizing gay marriage one of his planks on his way to winning the
presidency. Hollande’s popularity however, has fallen and his foes on the political right sense his
vulnerability.
The latest polls suggest a narrow majority of French support gay marriage, but that has declined
from about two-thirds support in August.
