A Nelson County youth's suicide is being blamed on bullying that she had received online. Twelve-year-old Reagan Carter took her life two days prior to Christmas, apparently after harassment received from other girls of Bardstown Middle School became too much for the youth to handle. "They don't think about the long term consequences about what that's doing to another human being, who has feelings and who has thoughts, and who has a really big heart," said Megan Hack, Reagan's mother. Bardstown police say they're investigating Reagan's death.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/lost-giant-former-new-york-gov-mario-cuomo-dies-n278256[5] ---###--- General Motors is recalling roughly 92,200 trucks and SUVs for defective ingnition lock systems. GM says that the issue comes from lock acutators being set a bit wide, resulting in difficulty in turning the key when the temperature of the vehicle's interior is exceedingly hot. Vehicles included in this recall are Chevrolet Silverado light-duty and heavy-duty pickups; Avalanche, Tahoe and Suburban; GMC Sierra light duty and heavy-duty pickups; and Yukon and Yukon XL; Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade EXT.

Seventy-five year-old Arthur Lampitt is recovering following surgery related to injuries sustained in a car accident that occurred 51 years ago. After lifting and moving concrete blocks a week or so ago, Lampitt reported feeling great pain in his arm--radiating from an area where he had discovered nearly a decade ago that an unknown metallic object had been embedded. When Lampitt previously discovered the unknown object by passing through a metal detector, Doctors advised him to let it be, as it caused no pain and wasn't creating any danger at the time. Once his arm began to "grow" this time around, Lampitt decided it was time to have the object removed. What surgeons discovered was a seven-inch turn signal lever from Lampitt's former 1963 Thunderbird--a vehicle he had totaled half a century ago. Lampitt hasn't decided what he'll do with the signal lever, but he's stated that he will keep it as a trophy of some sort.
