Ever thought of being an organ donor? Well pretty soon New Jersey drivers will be forced to confront that question — a
new law will require drivers to say yes or no to organ donation.

Well, you know what they say, you can't win for losing. "They" would be my mom, and I just realized that doesn't actually make sense. But!

A high school senior was in court yesterday on charges of arson and criminal mischief after he was
charged with setting fire to a fellow student's turban.
