Little Streaks: The to-do list that helps your kids form good routines and habits.
Frances Robles, reporting for the NYT:
An argument over texting at the movies ended in a cellphone user’s death, when a retired police officer in the audience shot him at a theater near Tampa, Fla., on Monday afternoon, the authorities said. […]
The killing underscored the increased debate about when to use smartphones in public.

Update, 2:20a EST: The “underscored” sentence has been removed from the story. It got a lot of attention while it was there, though.
