Watch-Family finds worm in box of Kraft Dinner
A Montreal-area family was shocked when a worm emerged from their box of Kraft Dinner. Nalini Marquez, a mom from Chateauguay, Que., said Friday she took a picture of the worm and called Kraft Canada to report the problem. A few days later, Marquez received a letter from the mac and cheese maker with a cheque for $1 -- the value of the
box of pasta. "I felt like they were laughing at me," she said. "It's not much money for all the disgust that was created." Marquez's 18-year-old daughter found the worm while pouring the noodles into a pot of water on June 7. "I heard her scream in disgust," Marquez said. "Then I quickly ran to see what it was. There was a worm floating in the boiling water, and part of the package of noodles had been transformed into white powder. " Kraft Canada spokeswoman Kathy Murphy said the company maintains high quality standards, though problems can arise during the production process. "From the factory to the merchants' warehouses and the grocer's shelf to the consumer's cabinet, there may be several reasons how an insect could get into the box," she said.

Now- Robot fingers feel more than you do (video)
Scientists in California have designed a robot with fingers than can feel things even better than people can. The robot hand, designed and built at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering, comes equipped with a new type of tactile sensor called BioTac, which mimics the human fingertip. Like real fingertips, the BioTac sensor has a soft, flexible skin-like substance over a liquid filling. Also like real hands, it has fingerprints. "As the finger slides over a textured surface, the skin vibrates in characteristic ways. These vibrations are detected by a hydrophone inside the bone-like core of the finger. The human finger uses similar vibrations to identify textures, but the BioTac is even more sensitive," reads a university press release.
Disgusting-Students Suspended for Viewing Porn in Class (video)
Nine male students were suspended from Bell Middle School for allegedly masturbating while looking at pornography on their cell phones during English class. Students were suspended during the month of May, the district confirmed in an e-mail to NBC San Diego. But the email also states, the district is "prohibited from commenting on confidential student or personnel matters."
The teacher, Ed Johnson, is reportedly under fire because he did not respond to students who told him about the behavior while it was allegedly happening – only saying he would give students referrals if he caught them – then went on reading at his desk. Following the incident, there are reports of controversy from the faculty over how the situation was handled by the teacher.
Students who knew about the suspensions told NBC San Diego that their behavior was “nasty” and “disgusting.”“It's crazy I don't even know I can't even believe it,” one student told NBC San Diego.The teachers union says the allegation the teacher did not follow through and take action is simply that – an allegation made by two students in the classroom. "With respect to Mr. Johnson, all we can tell you is that he is employed by the District and remains assigned to Bell Middle School as of Friday,” the district stated in an email. “His schedule has not changed."He's my teacher but I'm in a different period, and he doesn't really do much about anything because he's not a good teacher,” said another student to NBC San Diego. “He always reads. That's all we do in class is read you read with him no he reads and we listen.”The principal of the South Bay school is not commenting and said the teacher is not talking about the situation.
What happen-Naked Mom Found Eating Ice Cream after Car Wreck
Texas mom was found naked and eating ice cream at a drug store after having crashed her car into a bus and abandoned her three kids at the scene, according to police. Stephanie Dillard had been driving with the children in Houston when she collided with a bus, police told KPRC. All three kids, ages 5, 12 and 16 suffered minor injuries in the wreck, police said. After the accident Dillard walked to a nearby CVS and allegedly began taking off her clothes as she ate ice cream, police told KPRC. Investigators said she fought their efforts to arrest her. Dillard was charged with endangering a child in connection with the bizarre series of events and her kids were placed with their grandmother, KPRC reported. It's unclear why Dillard allegedly stripped down to eat ice cream. Weather reports indicated Houston hit a high of 93 degrees last Friday.

JUNE 15--For the fourth time in the past two years, a Cincinnati man has been arrested for masturbating in public with the aid of a teddy bear, records show. Charles Marshall, 28, was arrested Wednesday evening after employees at a health clinic spotted him pleasuring himself in an alley. Marshall, pictured in the adjacent mug shot, was cited for disorderly conduct.
Municipal Court records show that Marshall has already been convicted three times of engaging in public indecency/disorderly conduct with a teddy bear. The misdemeanor counts resulted in short jail sentences and small fines for Marshall. Marshall was first busted in February 2010 when witnesses spotted him engaged “with a teddy bear in mens bathroom” at a public library (which prompted a judge to order him to “stay away all Hamilton Co. public libraries”).
