Record numbers of desperate child refugees are escaping to Europe alone

KENT, England— The bags are packed, the goodbye hugs done. The Afghan, Eritrean and Sudanese boys are on the move again, but this time it's a happy occasion: After months of hardship traversing continents, the teenage refugees are finally on the way to English homes where they can settle down for a long dreamed-of life in Europe.

The dozens of boys are unaccompanied child refugees who have come to the end of a long, risky journey by boat, foot, truck and train. Upon reaching the shores of Dover they were brought to a reception center in Kent, southern England, where they were given temporary shelter. As the teenagers leave for more permanent social housing or foster homes, they are seen off by another group of boys who are eagerly awaiting their turn. Read more...

New Grateful Dead music with John Mayer? Hey, it could happen.

LOS ANGELES — John Mayer is, by any seasoned Deadhead's measure, a real newbie.

Already four albums and seven Grammy wins into his career as a radio-friendly pop/rock star, Mayer first "heard" the Grateful Dead in 2011. The song was "Althea," a late-vintage Dead song co-written and sung by the late Jerry Garcia — and on Pandora Radio, of all things

Smash cut to four years later: Mayer is about to stand in Garcia's shoes, playing lead guitar and singing dozens of songs during a 15-show fall tour billed as Dead & Company. The latest reunion kicks off Oct. 29 in Albany, New York (with a bonus "free" show Nov. 7 at Madison Square Garden for the Dead's charity, the Robin Hood Foundation). Read more...

'Homeland' Season 5 premiere: Carrie's life has quieted down. Yeah, right

Veteran Showtime drama Homeland returned for a fifth season Sunday night, and with it pushed ahead two years in the life of now-former CIA operative Carrie Mathison.

The time jump — which has seen increased popularity in TV drama premieres, from Halt and Catch Fire, to The Leftovers, to Masters of Sex — has allowed Carrie’s life to quiet down considerably since her involvement in season four’s Islamabad bloodbath at the U.S. Embassy.

No longer working for the CIA, Carrie now lives in Berlin and is in a steady relationship with a man named Jonas who, like or it not, bears a vague resemblance to her deceased flame Nick Brody.

Or perhaps, she is trying to atone Read more...

High school students wear actual scarlet letters to protest sexist dress codes

While many protests have emerged against school dress codes as of late, students at Charleston County School of the Arts in South Carolina took it one step further and borrowed a leaf out of their assigned reading and incorporated The Scarlet Letter into their protest to remind everyone that teen girls' bodies are not a distraction

The young women of Charleston County School took their literature lessons to heart and protested by wearing red letter A's as part of their outfits — taking inspiration from Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel about a young woman who is made to wear a scarlet letter "A" as punishment to publicly shame her for adultery Read more...
