While running through the hallways of an Oregon middle school, two boys slapped a few girls' butts and are now facing a lifetime on the sex offender registry.

This quote disturbed me the most:

"It's basically the end of their lives," (the attorney) said. "Everywhere they go and everything they do, they will have to disclose this. And these kids who do these minor offenses have to follow the same sex-offender registration requirements as someone who brutally raped someone."

It's a really good article.

I am not passing judgment in either direction on this, just passing on the link. If it starts spawning a discussion, could a moderator spawn it off into its own thread?

My friends just had a baby on Saturday afternoon, after a week of contractions (she was one week overdue as of the 18th). The people the hospital contracted out to do the baby photography took three shots of her.

One of my friends' friends made a YTMND of the three shots. Turn your sound down first, as is customary with any YTMND.

That baby has some seriously long fingers, but then, both parents are musicians.
