News of the day

Good: Amazon Kindle can now check out e-books from 11,000 libraries [Lexington Public Library isn't one of those just yet, but it does use Overdrive and there is a 'coming soon' banner on its eBook page.]

Also good: Two U.S. hikers convicted as spies leave Iran on bail

Inspiring, and I hope everything turns out alright: A woman and her toddler fight dual cancers

Justice done, even though I'm not a proponent of the death penalty: White supremacist executed for Texas dragging of James Byrd, Jr.

Sad to see, but a good way to go: R.E.M. Breaks Up After Three Decades, Thanks Fans for Listening

Truly sad in so many ways: Teenager struggled with bullying before taking his life
