        <![CDATA[<p>A couple dozen students spend the night in the Macalester College administration building on Tuesday, where they are protesting the school's ties to Wells Fargo, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/204492161.html">the StarTribune said.</a> </p>

<p>Students began protesting Tuesday when they entered the office of President Brian Rosenberg, <a href="http://www.postbulletin.com/news/state/sit-in-continues-at-macalester-college/article_9c04e4ac-acf1-11e2-9cfc-0019bb30f31a.html">Post Bulletin</a> said. The students then moved to a more common area of the administration building- where they are today, StarTribune said.</p>

<p>The students are protesting the ties Macalester has with Wells Fargo due to the banks negligent practices during the foreclosure crisis, Rebecca Hornstein, the student organizer said. The students want Macalester to end its business relationship with the bank, Post Bulletin said.</p>

<p>The protesters plan to occupy the building until they receive a favorable response from the college, Hornstein said according to the StarTribune. </p>]]>

<p>There were no reports of of significant damages or injuries, Huffington Post said. Some people said they could feel tremors and others were without power after the quake, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/21/world/americas/mexico-quake/index.html">CNN said. </a></p>

<p>The earthquake took place about 200 miles from Mexico City, CNN news said. It was 46 miles deep, CNN reported according to UGUS. </p>

<p>Capable of causing considerate damage to poorly built or badly designed structures and slight to moderate damage to well-built, ordinary structures, an earthquake of this magnitude is considered moderate, CNN news said. </p>]]>

<p>District Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard held a news conference Friday to apologize for the assignment, ABC news reported. </p>

<p>The writing assignment was done before a planned class reading of the memoir "Night," by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, CBS news said.</p>

<p>Sgt.

<p>"It is absolutely reprehensible that a high-ranking member of the Port Canaveral Police, sworn to protect and serve Floridians, would use the image of a dead child as target practice," said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin's parents, according to CBS news. </p>

<p>Martin was shot by neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, on Feb. 26, 2012, CBS news said. Zimmerman said he shot the 17-year-old in self-defence, ABC news said. Zimmerman's trial is scheduled for June, ABC news reported. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Looking to refresh its image, Kool-Aid will be unveiling a new look for its mascot on Monday, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/kool-aid-man-personality-18941504#.UWtX8I5Wn0B">ABC news</a> said. </p>

<p>The new mascot will not be crashing through walls and shouting "Oh, Yeah!" <a href="http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=23422819-6a2b-40f7-b54e-5f867713a780">MSN reports</a>. Instead, the Kool-Aid man will be computer generated, wear his flavors like clothing, and even talk with a bit of a sense of humor, MNS said.</p>

<p>This new look is evolving due to the much needed promotion for Kool-Aid's new flavored mix, ABC news said. The new mix reflects a push by Kraft Foods to adjust to changing tastes and replicate the success of its liquid flavor enhancer called MiO, ABC news reports. </p>

<p>In 2012, the brand's U.S. sales were down 5 percent to $338 million, according to the market researcher Euromonitor International, according to ABC news. With the growing popularity of liquid mixes, Kool-Aid is promoting this new flavor to compete with these other brands and attempt to get back in the game, MNS said. </p>

<p>The new ads are intended to fill in the blanks in Kool-Aid Man's character so people can relate to him, Erica Rendall, senior brand manager at Kraft Foods Group Inc., said according to ABC news. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Two teens, who became lost and separated on a Southern California trail four days prior to their rescue, are recovering from dehydration and minor injuries, authorities said according to <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2013/0406/Teen-hikers-lost-on-California-trail-recovering-in-hospital">The Christian Science Monitor.</a> </p>

<p>Kyndall Jack, 18, and Nicholas Cendoya, 19, are being treated at two separate hospitals, and are both in stable condition, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/rescued-teen-hikers-thankful-recovering-california-hospital/story?id=18896551#.UWsAPo5Wn0A">ABC News said</a>. </p>

<p>Cendoya was found late Wednesday by hikers, ABC news said. When Cendoya was spotted he was disoriented and wearing no shirt and no shoes, authorities said. </p>

<p>Jack, who was found Thursday, was clinging to a cliff and laying in the fetal position, authorities said. "She asked me what year it was. She thought it was the year 2030. She was very confused,"  L.A. County Sheriff's Reserve Deputy Fred Wenzel told KABC.</p>

<p>The two had gone missing Easter morning after setting out for a hike in the Cleveland National Forest, ABC news said. </p>

<p>Investigators are still trying to determine how the two teens got lost and separated in the wilderness. </p>]]>
