Suicide Bomb Instructor Accidentally Kills Pupils... BAGHDAD — A group of Sunni militants attending a suicide bombing training class at a camp north of Baghdad were killed on Monday when their commander unwittingly conducted a demonstration with a belt that was packed with explosives, army and police officials said. The militants belonged to a group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, which is fighting the Shiite-dominated army of the Iraqi government, mostly in Anbar Province.

It's the highest "quit rate" since the economic recovery began, the Wall Street Journal reports, and it compares to the low of 1.2% that we hit in September 2009. Economists see a high quit rate as a good thing. If people are willing to leave their jobs, it suggests they feel secure about getting new positions. "A pickup in the quit rate … would signal that workers perceive that their chances to be rehired are good," new Fed chair Janet Yellen recently said, per NPR. What's more, it leaves a spot for someone else to take. New figures tomorrow are expected to show the rate climbed even further in December.
