MILITARY SUICIDES
REACH RECORD HIGH
The number of suicides among active-duty
troops in the military reached 349 last year,
up from 301 in 2011, the AP reports. The
staggering figure is larger than the number
of people who died in Afghanistan last
year — 295. “As our newest generation of
servicemembers and veterans face unprecedented challenges, today’s news shows we
must be doing more to ensure they are not slipping through the cracks,” Sen. Patty Murray
(D-Wash.) said, urging the Pentagon to act.

a job well done. The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards
was the most-watched ceremony since 2007, with 19.7
million viewers tuning in, according to TV Guide. They had
the audience reeling with laughter right off the bat: “The
Hunger Games was one of the biggest films of the year,
and also what I call the six weeks it took me to get into
this dress,” Fey said. “Ang Lee has been nominated for the
Life of Pi, which is what I’m gonna call the six weeks after
I take this dress off,” Poehler responded. The three-hour
ceremony received a 6.4 rating among 18-49-year-olds,
28 percent higher than last year.
