BOSTON (AP) — Three college friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were arrested and accused Wednesday of removing a backpack containing hollowed-out fireworks from Tsarnaev’s dorm room three days after the attack to keep him from getting into trouble. In court papers, the FBI said one of them threw the backpack in the garbage — it was later found in a landfill by law enforcement officers — after the young men concluded from news reports that Tsarnaev was one of the bombers. Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19-year -olds from Kazakhstan, were

Last week, teachers of the Roswell Independent School District who planned to take students on an overnight, out-of-town field trip to a state-wide competition received notification that they would not be allowed to do so as a school sponsored activity.

In order for a trip to be school sponsored, Burris said teachers or club sponsors must submit to his office a field trip request form, an itinerary that includes locations and times, a list of all individuals going and they must be able to show that permission slips have been distributed and
