Malcolm Young, AC/DC Guitarist and Co-Founder, Found Dead
Malcolm Young, guitarist and co-founder of AC/DC, died Saturday at the age of 64. Young had been suffering with dementia for the past three years, an illness that forced his retirement from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band he founded with his brother Angus Young in 1973.
"Today it is with deep heartfelt sadness that AC/DC has to announce the passing of Malcolm Young," AC/DC wrote in a statement.
"Malcolm, along with Angus, was the founder and creator of AC/DC. With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band. As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man. He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted. He took great pride in all that he endeavored. His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed."

Report: High levels of lead found in fidget spinners sold at Target
WPRI -
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The U.S. Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) and the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG) issued a warning to parents Thursday that fidget spinners being sold at Target stores nationwide were found to have high levels of lead.
MASSPIRG said they alerted the toy’s distributor, Bulls i Toy, and Target to the findings, but they “refused to address the problem.”
The agency said lab results showed two fidget spinners contained extremely high levels of lead, well over the federal legal limit of 100 parts per million (ppm) for lead in children’s products:
Student suspended for 9 weeks over off-brand Tylenol
CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) –
A Chesterfield County Public Schools student is working from home, and will continue to until February, unless the school reconsiders her suspension for having off-brand Tylenol.
Sarah, a student at LC Bird, has been suspended in the past for marijuana. That punishment lasted less than 10 days, the family says.
The school recently gave her a nine-week suspension for Tylenol, which could be until February because of upcoming holidays.
The family says this isn’t fair and that she’s learned from her previous mistakes. Jason, Sarah’s father, also says he understands the school’s over-the-counter drug policy, but he thinks this punishment is too tough.
