1. What is Apple trying to keep from having to do in response to a Federal court order? Page A4 "Apple encryption system..." 
Because apple has very good security and encription on their phones it is nearly impossible for a hacker and or government official to break into them. Which is why the government wants apple to make a unlock key to unlock amy phone whenever they want, apple however thinks this is a very foolish idea, and I would agree.

Texas A&M researchers believe the food supplement carnitine which is found in red meats and in milk, can help prevent the birth of a child with a autistic disorder.

Because of online shopping and websites like amazon increasingly becoming more popular. Which is why laces like Walmart are seeing decreases in sales. 
4. Why were some area high schools appealing to UIL regarding the sports district alignments? Page C1 "Centex Schools..."
Some of the schools that wanted to change districts were turned down. As well as some schools do not like the new district they are in because it is less convenient for them.
5. What are some of the popular VR devices coming to market soon? Page SA1 "Virtual insanity"
The two main competitors in the industry right now are the oculus rift which is run by Facebook, And the HTC Vive. Both of the headsets are coming out very soon and have a lot of hype, and money waiting to be poured into them.

Whats Next For The Supreme Court:
The article talks about certain rules for situations like one of their judges dying and how they were to handle the replacement. As well as showing how idealogical shifts happen in the court as people switch out. The whole reason this is being talked about is because Justice Antonin Scalia recently died. I do think that congress should fix this problem, and is something that should have been changed or noticed early. Its gonna be weird though since the president is a democrat, but his term is almost up, and he has to choose the new justice. Its quite bad timing for Scalia to die, thats not his fault though. Personally though I don't care to much about politics or the government. Not because it doesn't affect me, because it does, but because I don't have time to care about it and its hard to listen to some of the politicians when there moral standards are just so wrong.
