Oliver Twist
by Charles Dickens
Oliver Twist Theme of Poverty
Workhouses, filthy quarters, despair: Dickens is very concerned with showing just how miserable the lower classes really were in 19th Century London. With Oliver Twist, he doesn't shy away from depicting the conditions of the poor in all their misery with gritty realism.
Questions About Poverty
- In the description of the Baytons, Dickens makes the poor people seem somehow sub-human: "Oliver was afraid to look at either her or the man, – they seemed so like the rats he had seen outside" (5.64). In a later description of Folly Ditch, he describes the poverty as "loathsome" (50.4). Is Dickens sympathetic to the plight of the poor in these moments, or not?
- Are the paupers always morally superior to the parochial authorities?
- Is there a difference, in the world of Oliver Twist, between vagrancy (i.e., homelessness) and poverty? Is one "worse" than the other? According to whom?
- Is it possible that the parish authorities actually want to keep the poorest class poor?
Chew on This
Dickens uses a distant, journalistic tone when describing poor neighborhoods to add to the realism of Oliver Twist, but the distance has the additional effect of making it occasionally difficult to sympathize with the poor.
Dickens occasionally describes members of the poorest class as sub-human or animal-like to highlight the huge chasm between the experiences of his middle class readers and the poor people he describes.

Patient Comments: Pulmonary Fibrosis - Treatments
What treatments have been helpful with your pulmonary fibrosis?
Comment from: M Kay, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 08
I had necrotizing pneumonia with MRSA, was unable to be ventilated at first, and placed on ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) for 5 weeks and only received PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) through my trachea. After ECMO my lungs healed enough to be ventilated and I was on the ventilator for 7 more weeks. The only treatment I receive is oxygen at 2 liters. I turned 60 while in the hospital. I was working full time and in good health. Now I am applying for disability due to my shortness of breath not allowing me to continue working.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Caregiver) Published: March 27
My grandfather and father passed away from pulmonary fibrosis. My father had a left lung transplant in September of 2007. They tied off his right lung which was only working 30%. After the lung transplant there were many ups and downs. My dad was on oxygen all the time. He would no longer eat because of all the anti-rejection medication so a peg tube was placed, but by that time he already lost 60 pounds. My father then entered the hospital to have his right lung removed as it was filling with fluid. He never came home from the hospital after that was done. Six months later, on March 11, 2009 my father passed away. He was only 54. This disease is horrible and my father fought it since 2005. This is also scary as it runs in my family. My grandfather passed away in 2005 of the same thing. My thoughts are sent to anyone who has to fight this disease. I hope to see a cure before it is my time to go.
Comment from: rita, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 31
I have a friend that her mom went into hospital with pneumonia and they found that she had pulmonary fibrosis. They were 99% sure but did the lung biopsy to confirm, she is still in hospital now on a ventilator. The kidneys are shutting down, not a good outlook. She is not a candidate for lung transplant because she smoked, but before the surgery she said she wanted to live. The doctors said it would have been better to have cancer, at least they could have helped her.
Comment from: Kiera, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: November 01
After my 3rd pulmonary embolism in 2003, I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and I just read that people usually die within 5 years. My specialist has me on blood thinners, prednisone and other steroids that I inhale daily. Somehow, he's managed to keep me alive for 10 years.
Comment from: Joleneh63, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: November 08
My dad died from Pulmonary Fibrosis as did his mom; my grandma and his sister; my Aunt so of course I was extremely concerned of this being inherited so I did extensive background on where my grandparents lived which was on a huge farm in North Dakota and my dad was the youngest of 6, he was born in 1922. I learned form a Dr. at the University of North Dakota that during the 20's and 30's that a pesticide was used on the crops, it was called Paraquat and this pesticide has now been found to be another known cause of PF with having 3 immediate family members having PF and dying at a relatively young age; my grandma was 76, my Aunt was 68 and my dad was 67. I was relieved to learn that it's not inherited but PF is a horrible painful way to die and watching my dad at my young age of 27 was unbearable!! He died in 1990, I am now 48 years old and there isn't a day that I don't think about him. I wish there would be a cure for this terrible disease because my dad missed out on watching my daughter grow into a very beautiful young women and now a mom of 2, he's missing out on his great grandchildren and he would only be 89! Terrible disease.
Comment from: marcough, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 22
I have a great pulmonary doctor. He put me on a drug called Actimmune. I was on it quite a while, but I believe it stopped the progression of the disease. It is an injectable drug three times per week. When I was diagnosed, I thought I had about four years to live. It has been 10 years since I have been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. I still have fatigue and shortness of breath. I just take it easy when I feel tired.
Comment from: nuerology sue, Female (Patient) Published: May 13
I have not received any treatment because of my neurological disorder. I am afraid that I won't get treatment until I get really sick. I can't believe this is happening to me. I've been getting electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction tests for about four years with no answers. Now I have fibrotic interstitial pneumonia that my pulmonologist isn't sure how to treat because of my muscle weakness. No matter what happens, it feels good to write about it. Thanks for letting me share how I feel.

A symposium on Vaccination Against Communicable Diseases, sponsored by the International Association of Biological Standardization, was held in Monte Carlo, March 14 to 17, 1973. During the course of this conference, the progress and problems associated with the use of various vaccines in many countries of the world were discussed in detail. The vaccines included diphtheria and tetanus toxoid combined with pertussis vaccine (DTP), poliovaccine, BCG vaccine, smallpox vaccine, measles, rubella and mumps vaccines, influenza vaccine, and combined live virus vaccines. The following summary and conclusions stem from the detailed proceedings that will be published as one of the symposia series in immunobiological standardization.

Poliovaccines and DTP used in good immunization programs have been shown to be highly effective. However, diphtheria and poliomyelitis are still highly endemic in various parts of the world.Pertussis immunization has been associated with a significant decline in the incidence of

About our guides
We make great, interactive travel guides.
To make our guides we use the content that is freely available. Open content sites like Wikitravel, Wikipedia, World66 and Openstreetmap are among the best resources for any traveler. Our mission is to make that content relevant for you. So we mix and mash and annotate - and we distill great, relevant travel guides out of it.
We like open content. In fact some of us were involved in World66, one of the first open content travel guides on the web. Triposo's travel guides are very much a re-mix of open content out there.
Currently we're using content from: Wikipedia, Wikitravel, World66, Open Streetmaps, DMOZ and Chefmoz
We're big fans of these projects. If you stumble across some inaccurate information in this guide, we would appreciate it if you correct it on the web site of these projects.
Very capable
Very handy Great offline maps and good content about the various attractions. The design is beautiful. Only thing missing is user reviews otherwise this would beat TripAdvisor.
Excellent Really handy during a visit to the city
Offline map makes it very good No problems. Off line map made it easy to use when on travel. Best one for Petersburg, even though Coil devs Petersburg is maybe more detailed but without map.
What's New
- Smaller map markers so the map can be seen better.
- Facebook ratings.
- Fresh data.
If you like Triposo, please take the time to give us a nice review: it really helps.

Kitesurf Holidays To Le Morne In Mauritius.
Mauritius is a beautiful Island in the Indian Ocean around a 12 hour flight from the UK / Europe.

The Kitesurf Spots
Le Morne, at the foot of Mauritius' famous landmark, the impressive le Morne Brabant Mountain, in the southern part
of the island, offers everything kitesurfers could wish for.
The spot is excellently suited to all kitesurfing skills. The
main reasons include the constant southeast trade winds,
which especially in the summer month blow all day. These
winds that travelled 4000 miles over the sea are therefore
very constant and clear.
THE LEARNER LAGOON: We teach kitesurfing lessons for beginners level, intermediate kitesurfers such as advanced kiteboarders. For beginners we use the large lagoon with its fantastic, knee-deep flat water, on the windward side of the centre. It is adjacent to the beach of the Indian Resort Hotel. This is the safest spot for both, learning to kitesurf and for improving one's kite- surf skills. Inside the lagoon and especially in front of the station, small coral clumps, shells and marine animals can be found in the water, so we recommend everybody to wear shoes.
ADVANCED SPOT: The kitesurfing spot for advanced kitesurfers is situated directly in front of our Kitesurf centre at the Indian Resort, where the wind blows constantly sideshore from the left. Here you can blast away across the lagoon on shallow water protected from waves by the outer reef, located about 600 m offshore. The reef is relatively smooth and is about 1 m below the surface, allowing you to ride down the 1-2 m waves without risk. If conditions are right, the kitesurf spot is also suitable for wave riding novices making their first attempts at surfing down wave.
Mauritius can be a challenging windsurfing spot. For the kids we have a big lagoon with shallow water. In the morning there are light winds which are perfect for the kids lesson.
The Wind
The wind usually blows from east or southeast (sideshore from the left) and reaches a strength of 3-5 beaufort on average during summer in the southern hemisphere and about 4-6 beaufort during winter. In winter (April to October), the trade wind shows its best side. Between December and April there can be heavy rainfall.
Other than the board sports offered, diving can be arranged, trekking is available and sampling the local Creole/French cuisine is a must. There are also some really good Chinese restaurants on the island (as quite a large proportion of the population are Chinese).
Many of the evening activities revolve around sipping on a well deserved "sundowner" before indulging in some of the great local food cooked on an open barbeque underneath the stars. Needles to say, Mauritius is not a destination for those seeking a lively club scene! Prices on the island are not the cheapest, but the quality more than makes up for this.

AbstractThe rapid evaluation of drinking water toxicity in the field is a necessity for the safety of our soldiers. To achieve field portability and sensitive screening for identification of toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) a handheld device that is biologically-based and easy to use with components that remain viable for 6 months would be ideal. In this Phase I, Agave BioSystems proposes to develop an accurate and efficient cell-based biosensor using engineered yeast to rapidly evaluate toxicity in drinking water. This methodology will use Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast measuring two different outcomes to ensure TIC detection accuracy. This novel yeast strain will be lyophilized for long term storage and is expected to be responsive to a variety of TICs.

Twice I have ordered the 2007 Jordan Sonoma Cabernet offered by Wine Chateau. Both times I have received the Alexander Valley Jordan, although the Invoice clearly states Sonoma. Why is this?
Alexander Valley, like Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley, are all grape growing regions in Sonoma. It is also possible that a vintner specifying Sonoma on the invoice might alos be trying to distinguish between his wines made from grapes grown in different regions (Napa, instead of Sonoma for example).
Video Description
Tasting Notes
This vintage provided growing conditions that truly made fruit flavors flourish. Spring started off with warm weather, and the June bloom revealed a smaller crop than 2006, which concentrated flavors in the grapes. Ideal weather with moderate temperatures and plenty of sunshine prevailed throughout the summer, allowing us to spend six weeks (September 1–October 14) picking pristine, uniform grapes with optimal sugars, acids and flavors.
Wine Maker Notes
Each vintage of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted in a balanced style—delightfully drinkable in its youth and over time, as well. To ensure optimal enjoyment upon release, Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is aged a year longer prior to release than most California Cabernets.

Bears to be auctioned off
Published: Sunday, October 16, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 16, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Bearfootin' in Hendersonville 2005, the third year for this popular public art exhibit, will close its run in downtown Hendersonville on Saturday with a public auction of the bears.
Thirty of the decorated fiberglass bears will go on the auction block in front of the Historic Courthouse in this charitable event. Seventy-five percent of every winning bid goes to a Henderson County charity designated by the winning bidder.
The bear auctions in 2003 and 2004 generated more than $45,000 for local charities.
The bears will go on display at 10 a.m., and from noon until 2:30 p.m., there will be a Bear-B-Q featuring a variety of offerings from Circle-B Ranch Barbecue of Fletcher. The auction will begin at 2:30 p.m., and Stan Shelley and Joette Humphries of Shelley's Jewelry and Auction House will officiate.

2009 Annual Report
Cranberry pollination is highly stressful to colonies. The objective of the study was to determine if supplemental feeding with protein diet could mitigate colony losses and improve colony population growth. The diet was fed in either a concentrated patty form or in a dilute sugar mixture formed into a hard candy (i.e., candy board). Colonies that were fed protein supplement grew more than those that were not fed. Colonies fed the diet in either patty form or as a candy board grew equally as well. The study indicated that even a relatively small addition of protein to colonies during cranberry pollination improves their growth and survival.
A laboratory study was conducted comparing protein levels, hypopharyngeal gland development and immune response in adult worker bees fed the MegaBee protein supplement, pollen, or high fructose corn syrup. Worker bees fed pollen or protein supplement had similar hypopharyngeal development and protein levels. Bees that were fed only high fructose corn syrup had significantly lower protein concentrations and smaller hypopharyngeal glands compared with those fed a diet with protein especially as the bees aged. The greater nutritional value of the pollen and protein supplement might also have contributed to the workers' immune response. Virus titers decreased in bees fed pollen or protein supplement but increased in those fed high fructose corn syrup. Monitoring of progress on this project is accomplished by conference calls, Laboratory meetings, and annual reports.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Tony Cliff didn't have to escape jail, run from enraged armies or travel in flying ships to complete his debut graphic novel Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he had. The energy he invests in his story of a globetrotting, devil-may-care adventurer and the reluctant but noble soldier who inadvertently ends up tagging along suggests Cliff has a bit of the thrill-seeker in him, or at least in his pen.
Wanting to learn more about this former Flight cartoonist and his new book, I lobbed a bunch of questions to Cliff, who was nice enough to lob the answers back my way.
Robot 6: How did Delilah Dirk come to be? What was the original idea behind the character, and how did it change from the initial webcomic to Turkish Lieutenant?
Tony Cliff: It started off as a 30-page comic that I thought I'd put together just as a fun thing to do. I'd been reading a lot of Napoleonic War-era novels and wanted to make something in the same time period, with the sort of spirit I'd enjoyed in Indiana Jones and James Bond movies. Something fun, with a bunch of action and a variety of colorful settings.
I combined that first comic with a short story from the Flight anthologies, added a hundred pages to combine the two, and that became The Turkish Lieutenant as it appeared online. The print edition is more or less the same as the webcomic, though some of the text's been finessed and there are roughly a dozen new pages of what has been described as "Delilah and Selim being cute in the woods," a description whose accuracy I cannot dispute.
Conventions | The fourth Cincinnati Comic Expo kicks off Friday, just a week after the inaugural Cincinnati ComicCon, but administrator Matt Bredestege says he thinks his show has a broader appeal: "We are more of a multigenre show. We have a lot of celebrities and vendors that aren't comic-related. There's also more cosplay (costuming) and activities for the kids." Still, he says, local comics creators are the backbone of the show. The comics guest list includes Dough Mahnke, Art Baltazar, Eddy Barrows, Andy Bennett, Heather Breckel, Rich Buckler, Mike McKone, Yanick Paquette and Thom Zahler. [Journal News]
Creators | Writer Geoff Johns talks about the DC Comics crossover Forever Evil and how it will upend the publisher's superhero universe while making an unlikely hero of Lex Luthor. [The Detroit News]
Welcome to "Cheat Sheet," ROBOT 6′s guide to the week ahead. Although the U.S. Postal Service is closed today for Labor Day, UPS is going full steam ahead, which means comics arrive on Wednesday as usual. And so some of the ROBOT contributors took a break from the long weekend to make their top picks for the week. Keep reading to see what they chose …
Conventions | New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has mothballed plans for a giant convention center in Queens, leaving the unlovely, unloved, but well-situated Javits Center as the home of New York Comic-Con for the near future. [The New York Times, via The Beat]
Publishing | Alex Klein sees the "outing" of Green Lantern Alan Scott as a desperate move to boost sales by a publisher whose market share is dropping: "Switching up sexual orientation is a cunning way of compensating for flagging sales and aging characters. In the meantime, the industry is rebalancing: toward independent publishers, author ownership, and cross-platform digital tie-ins. As small studios sap talent from the giant conglomerates, comics are changing—and there's a lot of money to be made in the process—just not in the comics themselves." And he talks to The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and Image publisher Eric Stephenson about what they can do that the Big Two can't. [The Daily Beast]
By interesting coincidence, both Tony Cliff's Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant and Faith Erin Hicks' Friends With Boys concluded their online runs on Saturday. The latter will be released as a slightly longer print edition this week by First Second Books, while the latter … well, Cliff is teasing that something is coming next.
You can still read both comics online in their entirety — Delilah Dirk clocks in at 158 pages, and Friends With Boys at 206 — or purchase Hicks' graphic novel, in stores Tuesday.
Publishing | Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson talks about the ups and downs of the past year, including getting Todd MacFarlane's Spawn on a tighter schedule and the difficulties of selling all-ages comics: "There's this really blinkered mentality in comics that "all-ages" means only for kids, despite the relatively easy to understand implication that all-ages books can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Diamond even has this graphic they use for all-ages comics in Previews and it's these two children that look like toddlers or whatever. People seem to miss the point that most the comics we love from the '60s or '70s or even the '80s to a large degree, were all-ages comics. Stan & Jack's Fantastic Four was an all-ages book. And it was brilliant." [Multiversity Comics]
Digital | Viz Media, the largest manga publisher in the United States, began releasing its graphic novels on Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet and Nook Color devices today. As on the Viz iOS app and website, the manga are priced from $4.99 to $9.99 per volume, and they read from right to left, in authentic Japanese fashion. 107 volumes from 18 series are available at launch, although the selection skews a bit older than what's available on the iOS app, with no sign of the Shonen Jump blockbusters Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece, at least in the initial announcement. [press release]
Only four pages in, Tony Cliff's Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant already has me hooked. The art is absolutely gorgeous, taking the ligne claire style a step beyond simplicity — just look at the drawing of boats in the water lapping on the second page to see what I mean. The story is exotic and promises to be filled with adventure; here is Cliff's capsule description: "In 19th-century Turkey, an officer in the Janissary army must struggle to repay a brash adventuress for saving his life, even though she was the one who endangered it in the first place."

Report: Financial Industry Tried To Convince Regulators To Exempt It From Executive Pay Rules In Dodd-Frank
As part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law — which President Obama signed one year ago today — regulators were directed to put in place new rules to rein in executive bonuses, as incentives built into the bonus structure at big Wall Street banks drove them to take on severe amounts of risk in the hopes of turning a quick profit. According to a new study by Public Citizen, the financial services industry has not taken kindly to this. "Industry comments on the proposed rule centered on a common theme," Public Citizen found. "More than 70 percent of commenters asked to be partially or entirely exempted from the rule. Some also asked for whole classes of jobs or for types of pay to be excluded." House Republicans have proposed repealing some of the executive pay provisions in Dodd-Frank.

Ragamala cooks Indian food at Al's Breakfast
The Ragamala crew can dance--and cook!
What if the tiny Dinkytown diner, Al's Breakfast, stopped flipping flapjacks and, instead, served south Indian food? You can experience just such an alternate reality on Thursday, July 28, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., when the Twin Cities' lauded Ragamala Dance company hosts its annual dinner fundraiser.
Not only is Ragamala artistic director Ranee Ramaswamy a respected performer and teacher of south India's traditional Bharatanatyam dance, but she's also a talented cook. For the meal, she'll be preparing homestyle foods from the region, with several dishes not found at local Twin Cities restaurants.
Other Ragamala dancers will be on hand to chat, and supporters can either snag a stool and eat at Al's or pick up a meal for takeout. Minimum suggested donation is $12 a plate.

Should be your first choice to fill a hole in that oral shelf.
Another excellent turn from this promising line. Twenty scenes, all well shot and brightly lit, mostly from the guy's POV. The use of ambient sound - mostly silence - is a small drawback, but not a deal-breaker.
The talent is a nice mix of veterans and newbies, placed cheek-by-jowl-by-dick in no discernable order. Scenes follow their own time, not cut to a uniform length. Standouts include Randi Storm, Ashley Sage, dark-eyed and pretty Sheila, and Ryan Conner: The rest, like also-rans in an Olympic sprint, are still quite good and could be standouts in a different field.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
PerkinElmer has made two acquisitions that bolster its prenatal screening business and expand its diagnostics offerings to include infectious diseases. The transactions also give the company broader access to emerging markets in Asia.
PerkinElmer paid RMB 435 million (about $63.64 million) for Shanghai-based SYM-BIO Lifescience, which supplies diagnostic instruments and related reagents to hospitals in the country particularly for infectious diseases. Additionally, PerkinElmer bought the genetic screening business of Surendra Genetic Labs, which is based in Chennai, India, and focuses on fetal, maternal, and newborn health. The purchase of SYM-BIO Lifescience doubles PerkinElmer's access to the hospital market in China. The transaction also adds production capacity in Shanghai and the surrounding area as well as R&D resources. The company expects to use this as a base from which to expand its existing prenatal and newborn screening business as well as the acquired operations in the China. "The acquisition provides an unmatched opportunity for advanced products from China to be introduced to regional and global markets," Zhang Sheng, president of SYM-BIO Lifescience. The addition of SYM-BIO's infectious disease products also allows for the expansion of PerkinElmer's regional and global offerings. The acquisition is expected to have no material impact on the firm's adjusted earnings per share for 2009 and be slightly accretive in 2010. Surendra Genetic Labs, on the other hand, pads PerkinElmers prenatal screening technology and services. "With approximately 25 million annual births, the current rate of uptake of prenatal and neonatal health services in India remains small," notes Dr. S. Suresh, director, Surendra Labs. "In partnership with PerkinElmer, we look forward to increasing the availability of screening services throughout the country via a successful combination of local infrastructure and global technologies and expertise."

We have Magento application deployed on Apache with mod_php and mysql. I have observed that sometime apache server starts consuming high memory which causes memory swapping and results in high load on servers. whenever there is high load on apache server, the apache processes which are causing the high load were in sleep mode at mysql end and CLOSE_WAIT state at client side. Any help is appreciated to resolve this issue.
@raj you'll probably find that the processes are in an S state as they are waiting on another process (in a D state) bound by I/O ie. For the machine to stop swapping.
So the key is to address two key issues, standard memory allocation and memory commitment.
When running Magento, it is fairly easy to massively over commit on RAM simply by setting PHP Max memory limits too high. Under normal circumstances, it won't have any ill effects, but the moment the app tries to use that memory, it will almost immediately go into swap (if you've run out of RAM that is).
Then, you'll likely find that Apache isn't the main concern for memory usage, but rather MySQL is more likely the culprit.
You haven't mentioned your server specification or any specific details for your store, so it would be impossible to accurately advise. But simply revising your Apache and MySQL configuration would be an easy place to start. Drop the number of Apache threads, MySQL connections, allocated memory commitments. Then start graphing with a tool like Munin to actually be able to correlate traffic, threads, CPU usage and memory usage. Without doing so, you are working blind.
But I would advise to stop poking around netstat as you are a long way off needing to diagnose TCP states; you need to start from the beginning.
Go read some good books on the subject of HTTP tuning and performance management (really - you're unlikely to get the answer here).
Then your server is badly configured - a webserver should never start swapping. Apply the usual apache tuning ritual and reduce php max memory.
Eh? A sleeping process by definition does not contribute to load. What mhysql end?
Use this script: http://saiweb.co.uk/linux/apache/bash%20script/linux-the-sysadmin-script-part-3/
to determine how much memory your apache processes are using.
Then limit MaxClients in apache config, to amount of process you can run without swapping. In this case when the problem occurs you will not have high LA, and you can find the real source of problems. Here's my version of script (link above seems to be broken now)

A 2-year-old boy was in the street when he was hit by a Clark County (Nev.) School District bus. Speed, alcohol, and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash.

Anthony Bowers of Chicago, who had been a school bus driver for nearly 10 years, was shot in the head while leaving his home for work. Police have no suspects at this time and are reviewing area surveillance video.
Michael Shelly, the 18-year-old Pennsylvania driver who fatally struck 16-year-old Minete Zeka while she was crossing an intersection to board her bus last year, is sentenced to 11.5 to 23 months in prison and five years of probation.
A 5-year-old student in Alabama dropped his backpack in front of the bus. The bus driver started to pull away when she didn't see him come out of his house.
Cathryn Jostad, the North Dakota bus driver who had to have both legs amputated following a collision with four semis, died last Friday of injuries sustained in the crash.

We had declined an invitation the night before from friendly camp neighbors to join them at the fire ring (one of only a handful on Isle Royale) in favor of retiring early. We wanted to get an early start for our 8.2 mile hike to Daisy Farm since we knew that half of it would be along the Greenstone Ridge. Our goal was to get up to the ridge as early as possible to avoid having the midday sun beating on our heads. Plus, we had now become a bit spoiled by the shelters and wanted to get to Daisy Farm as early as possible in the hopes of securing one.

A search and rescue operation was launched late last night
after a fishing boat became stranded on a sand bar at Taieri
Colin Webb was bringing the 10m boat Impact from Bluff to
Port Chalmers when he hit the bar about 200m offshore about
Several hours earlier, Mr Webb had run aground at Waikawa.
"He's an idiot and it's just such as waste of time, people
and resources," Taieri Mouth SAR marine adviser Keith Simon
"He set off a flare horizontally, which almost hit a house.
The next one went off in the boat.
"He had already been warned not to leave Bluff, but he
carried on anyway. Apparently, the fishermen down there were
running a sweep on whether he'd make it up here."
Mr Webb, who was not injured, was evacuated from the boat at
11pm by St Kilda and Brighton Surf Life Saving Clubs members
in inflatable boats.
"I'm so embarrassed," a grateful Mr Webb told rescuers as he
came ashore.
"A fire broke out in the engine and I lost concentration and
hit the sand bar," he said.
The rescue was attended by two Brighton fire brigade units,
two ambulances, three police units and St Kilda and Brighton
Surf Life Saving inflatables.
The boat was expected to float free at first light today.

Is the school liable for family owned assistive technology devices used at school to implement the student's IEP?
While the IDEA does not specify the responsibility of the school in such cases, state law could potentially impose liability on the school depending on the facts of the situation. The school district should take proper precautions to protect the equipment while it is in school buildings or being transported between home and school. Discuss potential liability with the district's insurance carrier.

Vt. Senate panel passes pot decriminalization bill
MONTPELIER — A Vermont Senate committee has approved a bill that would remove criminal penalties for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana.
The bill, which was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, will now go before the full Senate.
The House passed the legislation last month.
Instead of a criminal penalty, those caught with up to an ounce of pot would face a civil fine like a traffic ticket of up to $300. It also seeks to reduce the chances that anyone caught with up to 2 ounces would have a permanent criminal record, and defines a new crime of driving while smoking marijuana.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...
