Each morning at 7:45, sleepy-eyed pupils file off yellow buses and begin a typical school day: breakfast, recess, class, lunch, more recess and more classes. Many come from nearby shelters, though Pappas' buses can find them on a day's notice wherever they've landed for the night--whether at a flophouse or by the side of a highway. Most of the kids need remedial help, having missed months or years of school because their families moved around...
...need, and follow the preventive measures listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on its website at www.cdc.gov/travel (Allow at least a month before departure for some shots to "take.") In April, the health agency reported that a 48-year-old California man died of yellow fever--a mosquito-borne infection that is often accompanied by a yellowing of the skin--eight days after returning from an adventure trip to South America. Although he had been vaccinated against tetanus, typhoid and hepatitis A, he hadn't been inoculated against yellow fever...
Jerry Bruckheimer loves guys who love cars.

Hey, guys in the film (and guys who made it): maybe a wage slave left his PC in the trunk of that Toyota you stole; maybe a child's first drawing...
COLOR ME BAD A new teen trend first emerged last Halloween in the guise of red demonic eyes, but orange and yellow eyes have become commonplace in some areas. To achieve these colors not found in either nature or the optometrist's office, kids are dyeing their soft contacts with ordinary food coloring. But food coloring is not sterile, and the American Optometric Association warns that the risk of infection, irritation and permanent eye damage is high...
