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, was sending text messages from his cell phone when the accident occurred, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority general manager Dan Grabauskas said.
"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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 forth coming.

Now I can take them with me...

A terminally ill woman has thought of an unusual way to take her much-loved animals with her - she's having them tattooed on her body.
Jayne Jubb from March is passionate about animals. Along with her husband Alan, she takes in and cares for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, birds, raccoons, fish and snakes. Jayne is absolutely devoted to her animals, many of whom are sick, or came from rescue centers.
In 2007 Jayne was diagnosed with lung cancer and was told she had between 18 months and three years to live. Devastated by the news, one of Jayne's main worries was "what's going to happen to the animals when I die?"
Jayne's animals are so important to her that she decided to get them tattooed on her body. She says "when I go, my animals can come with me".

The cat that got caught in a wheelie tight spot

Cats and cars never mix, and poor Casper the cat has learned his lesson after getting his head wedged in a spare tire.
The mischievous Siamese found himself in the tight spot and needed the help of a fire-crew after a passer-by found him in distress.
The RSPCA were first on the scene and officers took him to Bury St Edmunds fire station in Suffolk where firemen spent an hour cutting him free.
Casper put up a struggle - scratching and biting his rescuers - but was finally freed and is now in the care of cat-loving RSPCA officer Amy Stubbs.
'We've seen lots of unusual cases but this was certainly a new one for us,' said watch manager James Fawcett.
'The poor cat wasn't very happy and kept trying to bite and scratch which made it very difficult for us.
'We had to use cutting equipment to chip away at the wheel and it took the best part of an hour.
'We made a special plastic guard to fit between his head and the cutters to protect him.
'The cat was fine afterwards although his skin was a bit raw around his neck.'
The hapless Siamese was taken to a local vets to be checked over.
'The cat was very lucky to be rescued and it's great that we were contacted about him,' said a spokesman for the RSPCA.
'He is absolutely fine now.'

No Can Do

Policeman refused to pose on bicycle because he hasn't passed his cycling proficiency test
Policeman Tony Cobban refused to pose for a picture sitting on his new patrol bike - because he has not passed his cycling proficiency test.
Community officer Tony told a photographer who wanted to snap him during the handover of the mountain bike at Halfords that he had been banned by bosses from sitting on the cycle even while it was stationary.
Tony said: "It was a health and safety thing. In this day and age you have to cover all bases. I could get on the bike but I'm not massively proficient." Inspector Nick Emmett said Tony was right not to saddle up in Preston. He added: "Our officers are required to be trained prior to using bikes."
