THE AYES HAVE IT..

Eric Holder did not turn over subpoenaed documents from a Justice Department
investigation into "Operation Fast & Furious" - a botched Mexican gun-running
sting.
((sot))
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)/ Chairman of the House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee
"This could drag out for a while in the courts or it could end very abruptly
if the documents are produced."

deal. Then Holder asked the White House for executive privilege to protect the
documents - and the President granted it.

((sot)) Carolyn Maloney/(D-NY)
17:23:22 "Instead of going after guns, the Republican majority is going after
the Attorney General of the United States."

A GROUP OF TEENS ARE TACKLING BULLYING IN A HIGH TECH WAY..
THEY'VE DEVELOPED AN APP TO HELP KIDS PROTECT THEIR PEERS FROM BULLIES.
AUDREY KUCHEN EXPLAINS.
<<IT'S A HAPPY GRADUATION FOR THESE STUDENTS.
BUT THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES DON'T REVEAL AN ALL TOO TRUE SADNESS ABOUT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL CAREERS.
STATS SHOW ONE IN FOUR CONNECTICUT KIDS SUFFER THE HORRORS OF BULLYING.
"Students are bullied, and they don't know how or where to go to get help."
UNTIL NOW--
IT'S BACK OFF BULLY-- OR BOB.
THE BRAINCHILD OF 14 TEENAGERS IN A NEW HAVEN DESIGN CLASS... MAY SOON BE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE AT SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE.
THE WEB APP IS AN ACCESSIBLE AND ANONYMOUS RESOURCE -- WHEN KIDS WITNESS-- OR ARE THE VICTIM OF BULLYING.
USING A COMPUTER, SMARTPHONE OR I-PAD, STUDENTS ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE AND WHEN THE BULLYING IS HAPPENING.
ALL THE REPORTED INFORMATION IS PUT IN A DATABASE SO ADMINISTRATORS CAN STUDY IT FOR COMMON THREADS, INTERVENE AND BREAK THE BULLY'S PATTERN.
"Right. It's not something adults are telling them to use, it's something other kids are making for one another."
(reporter stand up): "The application developers-- students right here at metropolitan academy in new haven say they're restoring positive power to a device that has for so long has allowed children to be abusive towards one another."
"Instead of doing negative things behind their phones, maybe do a positive thing and report somebody."
"We're making reporters out of the 400 students at our school, so that we can hope that we're catching more of that bullying and being able to actually affect change."
IT'S THE KIND OF CHANGE THAT WILL EASE THE JOURNEY HERE--
TO GRADUATION... SO STUDENTS SIMPLY WORKING TO SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY CAN. >>
THE GROUP BEAT OUT 26 OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE STATE WITH THE DESIGN.
THE COMPETITION WAS AMONG SCHOOLS THAT PARTICIPATE IN MATH, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CLASSES THROUGH A NON-PROFIT CALLED "EDUCATION CONNECT."
