The next generation store features modern design, a new glassed-in donut display case up front, and “Premium Pours,” an innovative new tap system serving cold bever- ages such as coffees, iced teas, cold brew coffee and nitro-infused cold brew coffee. Even though Dunkin’ has dropped “Donuts” from its name, they didn’t drop the donuts. “Our menu is the same. We’re selling more donuts,” said Paul Sardinha. He said the store also expanded its espresso beverage line a few months ago, with new machinery and better technology.

In an internal memo, the retailer told employees to remove any violent marketing material, unplug Xbox and PlayStation consoles that show violent video games and turn off any vio- lence depicted on screens in its electronics departments. Employees also were asked to shut off hunting season vid- eos in the sporting goods department where guns are sold. "Remove from the salesfloor or turn off these items immedi- ately," the memo said. Walmart will still sell the violent video games and hasn't made any changes to its gun sales policy, despite pressure from workers, politicians and activists to do so. "We've taken this action out of respect for the incidents of the past week," Walmart spokeswoman Tara House said in an email. She declined to answer any questions beyond the state- ment. Detractors panned the move as an empty gesture aimed a deflecting criticism rather than solving a problem. "That is a non-answer and a non-solution," said Thomas Virginia transgender bathroom Marshall, who works at Walmart's e-commerce division in San Bruno, California, and has helped organize a petition to get the company to stop selling guns.

Bob was a substitute teacher at the Vocational School in Westfield, he loved working with the students there before he married the love of his life, Elizabeth. They traveled to Italy to see his mother’s heritage, and made many adventures abroad and Hawaii as well as the islands with close friends. Bob was always ready for an adventure no matter where it was, he was a wonderful man with great spirit for life and the great outdoors. For 21 years, Robert and Elizabeth were inseparable.

Parent’s defense questions the difference By COLLIN BINKLEY AP Education Writer BOSTON (AP) — Robert Zangrillo is accused of pay- ing $250,000 to get his daughter into college as a fake athlete. Prosecutors call it a bribe. But his lawyers say Zangrillo isn't much different from parents who make formal donations to try to give their children an advantage in the admissions process. Zangrillo's lawyers offered a glimpse into their defense plans in a recently unsealed court filing that seeks a trove of admissions records from the University of Southern California, where Zangrillo's daughter was admitted as a transfer student last year. Zangrillo, a prominent Miami developer and investor, is among 19 parents fighting charges tied to a sweeping admissions bribery scheme at Paul Sardinha, state Sen. Donald F.
