ISIS vs. ISIS

A non-profit organization is peeved about ISIS in more ways than one. Based in Washington D.C., the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) works on nuclear nonproliferation; they are concerned that people are confusing them for the terrorist group, known as ISIS. After receiving harsh tweets and other misdirected comments, the organization is begging the public to rename the terrorists to clear the confusion. 

Death Row inmate granted freedom

After more than 30 years in prison, death row inmate Henry McCollum (age 50) and his half brother were released after new DNA evidence was discovered. The men were charged falsely in 1983 for the rape and murder of Sabrina Buie; new evidence has rightly convicted the real killer, Roscoe Artis, releasing the two men from prison. Artis is currently serving a life sentence for the rap and murder of another girl; the case is almost similar to the Buie case. 

CVS quits cold turkey

CVS, the second largest pharmacy in America, put an end to their tobacco sales. The company originally planned to end their sales on October 1, but started the ban early on September 3. CVS sees itself as a health care company and insists on making provisions to help their customers live a healthy life style.
