Bed Bath & Beyond Becomes Bed And Breakfast

A runaway teen was looking for a bed, bath and beyond that a place to spend a few nights.

Police say the 15-year-old spent the last four nights living in the Bed Bath & Beyond store in Roseville.

It seems, that he hid in the store just before closing and sneaked out in the morning.

The teen has been charged with truancy as well as larceny, for eating the food inside the store.

In court, on Friday, the judge was told the young man has run away at least six times.

The teen is now staying at the Macomb County Youth Home after his mother told a judge that she feared for her son's safety.

Big Picture: Yushu Earthquake, 12 days later

Wednesday, April 21st was a national day of mourning in China, for victims of the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck remote Yushu County on April 14th, 2010 with over 2,200 confirmed dead and many thousands injured or homeless. The response on the ground has moved from search and rescue to recovery and care, hampered by geography and weather. The political response is also complex, as official Chinese coverage has emphasized solidarity in crisis despite a long-troubled relationship with the ethnic Tibetan residents. Buddhist monks who had been assisting with relief efforts were asked by Chinese authorities to halt their work last week, some monks complaining it was for political motives, officials claiming it was for safety reasons. The bodies of hundreds of victims were cremated on April 17th, necessity forcing local Tibetans to break with a tradition of leaving their dead out for vultures. (33 photos total)

Smart Faucet

The Smart Faucet helps you to save a tremendous amount of water, one precious drop at a time – more than 5,000 gallons a year per family member. It's estimated that 80%-90% of water at the faucet goes down the drain unused and wasted. The Smart Faucet is an easy-to-install, retrofit water conservation fixture that eliminates 100% of all water waste by providing water on-demand. Just gently press the lever, rather than running the faucet continuously, and get water only when you need it while putting an end to drips and leaks. Includes continuous-flow function. Easy to install on most standard faucets. Chrome-plated brass.

Big Picture: Scenes from Sudan

Residents of the African nation of Sudan recently cast votes in the first national election in over 20 years. Official results are still forthcoming, but early indications show that President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is set to win a landslide victory. Opposition parties are threatening to boycott the results, as a statement from the U.S. White House described the election as plagued by "serious irregularities". Sudan remains a country with serious problems from conflict in Darfur and ongoing humanitarian crises in refugee camps and several drought-stricken regions. The election is also seen as prelude to another upcoming vote: a referendum of independence for Southern Sudan in 2011 that could create a new African nation. Collected here are recent photos from Sudan. (38 photos total)
