If you’ve recently bought cantaloupes—
especially if you know they were grown in
Indiana—you may want to throw them away.
Two people are dead and more than 150 are
sick because of a salmonella outbreak linked to
melons grown in the region, according to health
officials. Last year, 30 people died from eating
cantaloupe tainted with Listeria. Those deadly
fruits were traced back to a Colorado farm.

An Oklahoma high school
Valedictorian used the word
“hell” in her graduation
speech—and because
of that, she still hasn’t
received her diploma.
Kaitlin Nootbaar told her classmates in her May speech that when people asked her
about career plans, she’d say, “How the hell do I know? I’ve changed my mind so many
times.” School officials say they will hold her diploma until she releases an apology.
