| Baby found in field after tornado OK; recovery begins across state
The body of the boy's mother was found in the same field, houses were wiped to concrete slabs, and a brick post office was blown to bits. But, except for a few scrapes, Kyson was fine. At a makeshift shelter for storm victims at Hartsville Pike Church of Christ in nearby Gallatin, the Rev. Doyle Farris said the child was a reminder that people "should never give up, even in the midst of the worst storm." "If you look, you can find an inspiration or a bright spot," he said. "The child will always be a reminder in this community of that message." Kyson's story emerged as a tale of hope amid spectacular misery as residents in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas tried to piece their lives back together after the nation's deadliest twister rampage in two decades killed 59 people.

Browning, a Dulaney High School sophomore, is accused of fatally shooting his parents, John W. Browning and Tamara Browning, as well as his younger brothers, 14-year-old Gregory and 11-year-old Benjamin. All four were sleeping in their Cockeysville home when they were killed Feb. 2.
Nicholas Browning told police that he was playing video games at a friend's house late Feb. 1 -- a Friday -- and into the next morning when he decided to walk the nearly three miles back to his parent's large Colonial-style home, a source familiar with the investigation has said.

The droves of students are not unusual at Cathedral City High. For a school built for 1,800, over 3,000 kids crowd the hallways each school day. The overcrowding is something the school has to endure. But it's not just there where teachers and students deal with inadequate space. It's becoming a district-wide issue throughout Palm Springs Unified. And this Super Tuesday, administrators and teachers hope that a $516 million bond will pass to remedy the overcrowding problem.
