The residents of Ferguson, Missouri, have taken to the streets to protest the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed when he was killed by police on August 9. Demonstrations turned violent the day after Brown's shooting, with reports of looting in the area, but since then, protesters have remained largely peaceful. Nevertheless, police responded with military-grade equipment, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Vox's German Lopez explains how the response from law enforcement exacerbates long-standing tensions in this small St. Louis suburb.

UPDATE: A 65-year-old woman in California has died due to injuries sustained during the earthquake, so the death count is not zero as stated in the video: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-napa-woman-dies-napa-earthquake-toppled-tv-20140910-story.html
--
Over 100 people have been treated for injuries from the earthquake in Napa, California, but no deaths were reported. Earthquakes are much, much more deadly in other parts of the world. Earlier this month, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake killed hundreds in Southwestern China. The video above explains why.
Here's the data on each earthquake from USGS:

Big ideas in public education, such as the Obama administration's Race to the Top and Teach For America, often say teachers could improve inequality. Dana Goldstein, author of The Teacher Wars, sat down with us to explain why this is magical thinking that's been around since the 1800s.
For more on public education reform, Goldstein also contributed a feature to Vox on how Teach For America is starting to seriously reform after 20 years of criticism.

The threat of ISIS grew rapidly this year, and nothing illustrates the story as clearly as the President's own evolving comments on the terrorist group.
There's also real fear among Americans too, who were aware of ISIS' murder of American journalists at staggering levels - 94% at last polling (compared to 79% that had heard about Syria's use of chemical weapons).
