@placeholder will resume Friday, when counselors will be on hand, the principal said. | (CNN) -- A North Dakota freshman walked in front of his class, made an apology and then shot himself with a handgun Thursday morning, Richland County authorities said. The injured boy was coherent when he was taken to a hospital, said Principal Jay Townsend of Fairmount Public School, which has 112 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Authorities don't know what the apology was about, Sheriff Larry Leshovsky said. The student wasn't in any kind of trouble that the principal was aware of. The freshman, whose name wasn't being released, has lived in the small, rural community of 380 residents his entire life and has spent all educational years at Fairmount School, Mayor Jon Nelk said.

But Deila feels more proof was needed - no one else heard the offending words, although @placeholder quickly told others. | Celtic manager Ronny Deila has hit out at Scottish Football Association disciplinary rules after Aleksandar Tonev's seven-match ban for racist language was upheld. Tonev was described as neither a credible nor a reliable witness by an SFA-appointed judicial panel in a report that was published following the failure of his appeal. The report revealed Aberdeen defender Shay Logan had accused Tonev of calling him a 'black c***' during a Scottish Premiership match on September 13 and the panel found the on-loan Aston Villa winger guilty after describing the Dons player as an 'impressive witness'.

@placeholder asked entrants to design houses that could tackle Mars’ extremely cold temperature, high radiation levels, lack of oxygen and frequent dust storms. | By Jonathan O'Callaghan for MailOnline We might not be quite ready to send humans to Mars, but that hasn’t stopped some bright minds coming up with ideas for what people might live in when they arrive. In a competition for Nasa called the 'Mars Base Challenge', innovators were tasked with designing living space for future astronauts. The winning design is one that intends to give explorers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and other six-sided rooms in a ‘honeycomb’ shape. Michigan-based designer has won a competition to design a home for future astronauts to live in on Mars with his 'Queen B' 3D printed design for a contest run by Nasa and Makerbot

As Sportsmail first revealed on Wednesday, the Easter Road club approached Everton for permission to speak with their reserve-team manager about succeeding Terry Butcher as boss at the start of this week.

On the verge: Everton Under-21 boss Alan Stubbs appears set to be named Hibernian manager Sources close to the negotiations last night described them as ‘positive’ and barring a late change of heart, Dempster will recommend Stubbs’ name to the board for approval over the weekend ahead of his unveiling early next week.

drinks more than 300 calories of sugar water every day,' the @placeholder | The average American child consumes nearly 300 calories from liquid sugar alone each day - a combined total of 7 trillion calories each year, a public health professor suggests. Dr Steven Gortmaker, Director of the Harvard School of Public Health Prevention Research Center, is sounding the alarm and pushing for increased government involvement to keep sodas and sugary drinks away from kids, as part of his presentation at the Obesity Society's Annual Scientific Meeting in San Antonio, Texas on September 23. The sweet drinks are increasingly a poison to younger Americans, aged two to 19 - a population of an estimated 73.5 million, as they contribute to the ever-growing childhood obesity rates in the U.S.

In Britain, where the suspect studied engineering at a @placeholder university, police spent a second day searching his last known apartment. | (CNN) -- Investigators combed through Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's history Sunday in hopes of learning how the British-educated son of a Nigerian bank executive ended up carrying what authorities said was a bomb onto a Michigan-bound jetliner. Abdulmutallab was released from a hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Sunday after being treated for burns, according to Gina Balaya, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Detroit, Michigan.

Labor's breaking of its promise not to bring in a carbon tax and the @placeholder's years of negativity have left people jaded and cynical about all politicians. | Canberra, Australia (CNN) -- After six years of a Labor administration, including three tumultuous years of a hung parliament, Australian voters have returned to a conservative government and majority rule. Kevin Rudd, reinstalled as prime minister by his party at the 11th hour, managed to contain the size of the loss, likely to have been a wipeout under former PM Julia Gillard. New Prime Minister Tony Abbott had a long ministerial career in the former Howard Coalition government. But many questions remain about how he will handle the top job. He has been able to cruise into power primarily on Labor's infighting plus his promises to scrap the carbon tax, stop the asylum seeker boats and put the budget into better shape.

The population barely reaches 7,000, and the smattering of tourists it attracts throughout the year are undoubtedly lured by its rustic, small-town charm. Its handful of attractions include some vintage hot spring resorts (pre-World War II, the town was a hotspot for wellness tourism), some nearby ghost towns and roaming buffalo. "Here, you're in the middle of what I consider to be the real West," says John Mulcahy, mayor of Truth or Consequences (or T or C, as it's known locally). "It's a back-to-nature kind of place.

He took over @placeholder at the young age of 19 -- then the youngest leader in the world -- but at 59, looked infirm beyond his years. | (CNN) -- An international human rights monitor urged Haitian authorities to bring former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier to justice for alleged human rights abuses committed during his 15-year rule. Amnesty International published a new report Thursday with evidence of arbitrary detentions, torture, deaths in custody, killings and disappearances of Haitians from 1971 to 1985 when Duvalier was in power. Amnesty said the abuse was systematic and widespread under Duvalier's iron-fisted rule. "Neither the passage of time nor immunity from prosecution can be used as excuses for not investigating or prosecuting those responsible for such crimes, including Jean-Claude Duvalier himself," the report said.
