Subway Trains Collide in Boston

A subway train rear-ended another subway train that was stopped between two underground stations in downtown Boston on Friday night, injuring about 50 people, and one of the conductors told police he was texting at the time of the crash, officials said.
About 100 people were evacuated, and 49 were taken to area hospitals, but officials said their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
The 24-year-old operator of the moving train, who was the most seriously injured, admitted to police that he was sending text messages from his cell phone when the accident occurred, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority general manager Dan Grabauskas said.
The MBTA has stepped up enforcement of the rule against cell phone use by operators following a subway train crash in Newton last May that killed the driver that collided with another. Although there were reports the driver was using a cell phone just before the crash, an investigation ultimately determined there was no evidence she was using her phone.
Grabauskas said the operator of the train that struck the parked one admitted to investigators who interviewed him in a hospital he saw the red light ahead of him as he was texting, but it was too late to stop.
"I can tell you it's difficult to contain my outrage at hearing this," Grabauskas said.

Driving is a PRIVILEGE - not a right.
When driving your car, your eyes needs to be straight ahead.

Both hands needs be on the steering wheel.

You need to observe speed limits.

You need to yield the right of way to pedestrians/other cars.

You need to STOP for stop signs and red lights.

You need to pull over to the side of the road to allow emergency vehicles to past from both directions.

AND HANG UP THE CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mystery Snake Head Found in Broccoli at T.G.I. Friday's UPDATE

T.G.I. Friday's says a severed snake head found in a dish of broccoli at one of its upstate New York restaurants was apparently planted in the meal.
Company spokeswoman Amy Freshwater said Friday independent laboratory tests confirmed the snake head was added to cooked broccoli at its Clifton Park restaurant. The Carrollton, Texas, company has asked state police to investigate.
Diner Jack Pendleton of Ballston Lake says he found the snake head on Sunday.
Freshwater says the company doesn't know who put the head in the meal. Pendleton says he didn't.
Pendleton says that after he e-mailed a cell phone photo of the head to his friends, one of them posted it on a consumer complaint Web site. Pendleton has said he has no plans to sue.

Excuse Me Waiter I Didn’t Order This

The sight of a severed snake's head under his broccoli made Jack Pendleton lose interest in dessert.
Pendleton said he found the head, the size of the end of his thumb, while eating Sunday at the T.G.I. Friday's in Clifton Park. The chain restaurant said it regrets the appetite-killing error. Pendleton said he has no plans to sue.
Pendleton said he ordered vegetables instead of fries with his chicken sandwich. When he started to eat his broccoli, he saw something gray on the plate he at first thought was a mushroom. "I start to turn it over. I see this gray-green patch," he said.
Next he saw a V-shape that turned out to be the mouth of a snake. "I could see these black, rotted eye sockets on the top," he said. The severed head also had bits of tendon and part of the spine attached, he said.
"I stopped eating. I told my girlfriend, 'I think this is a head,'" he said.
Pendleton snapped a photo with his cellphone camera, then summoned the waiter. He covered the dish with his hand and described his find.
"He thought I was joking until I took my hand away," Pendleton said. The waiter grabbed the plate and took it back to the kitchen.
"The manager came over white as a sheet," said Pendleton, 28, of Ballston Lake, a senior art director for a textbook company in Clifton Park. "He explained in five years he'd never run into anything like this."

NH Boy Finds $8,160 Stuffed in Charred Backpack
A 10-year-old boy from Alton, N.H. picking up litter in New Hampshire found a charred backpack stuffed with more than $8,000 in cash.
Arie Johnston of Dover was helping his grandmother with her town's annual roadside cleanup when he spotted the backpack Saturday. He told Foster's Daily Democrat his first thought was that a person had been killed for the money.
Arie's grandmother called the Alton town clerk, who identified the bag's owner based on the passports and other documents found with the money. The owner was a woman who had lived across the street until a fire damaged her apartment last year.
Police say the woman has since moved to Maine and has asked that her belongings be given to her sister who lives in Alton. Arie's grandmother says a reward may be coming.

Botswana plans to circumcise nearly half a million men
Botswana, which has one of the world's highest HIV infection rates, has launched a scheme to circumcise nearly half a million men to curb the spread the disease, the health ministry said Thursday.

"For the public health benefits of the preventive effect of circumcision to be realised, the Ministry of Health is supposed to cover 80 percent of eligible males in Botswana," she said.
Government is running television and radio campaigns to encourage men to visit clinics for safe circumcision procedures.
"All primary and district hospitals are currently booking clients and performing the procedure," added Mwambona.
About 50 healthcare providers, including 27 doctors have undergone training on surgical circumcision.
