"School Set to Reopen After Mercury Spill"
Updated: Sunday, Feb. 27, 2005 - 2:47 PM
UDPATE: "WASHINGTON -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "About two ounces of mercury was spilled at the school, and while short-term exposure to a small amount generally won't do much harm, federal health officials say exposure to high levels of mercury can damage the brain and kidneys.
The Environmental Protection Agency oversaw the cleanup.
A 16-year-old boy was taken into custody shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday and charged with illegal dumping of a hazardous material, said Sgt. Joe Gentile of the D.C. police."

OPINION: In my opinion, the ACLU and the UN are always competing for the top spot on my personal MOST ANTI-AMERICAN list. Today, the UN went straight to the top.

"Cassava kills 30 kids in Bohol"
www.philstar.com ^ | 3 10 05 | Jose Sollano
Posted on 03/10/2005 12:50:44 AM PST by freepatriot32
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Thirty elementary school children died of food poisoning yesterday after eating a native delicacy made from cassava flour at the San Jose Elementary School in Mabini town, Bohol.
San Jose Vice Mayor Ester Tabigi said authorities had not yet determined exactly how many children had fallen ill, but at least 50 were still in critical condition last night in various hospitals in the nearby towns of Ubay and Talibon. Some children were brought as far as the provincial capital of Tagbilaran City, some 100 kilometers from Mabini.
Reports said the children, mostly second and third-grade pupils, started complaining of stomach pains and dizziness right after eating the cassava cake, known locally as maruya, during the morning recess at around 10:30.
"At 12 noon, teachers started to send victims to hospitals for treatment. Unfortunately, many of them failed to make it," said Philip Puderanan, public information officer of the Bohol Municipal Hall."
Post no. 230 is a NOT-IN-THE-USA incident, but it is an article of interest and an fyi.

"Two killed in Kashmir explosion"
May 12 2005 at 04:57PM
By Sheikh Mushtaq
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Srinigar, India - Suspected Muslim rebels detonated a grenade on Thursday as children left a Christian missionary school in Indian Kashmir, killing two women and wounding about 50 people including 20 pupils, police said.
"Please save me, I don't want to die. Call my parents," screamed a girl, her leg covered in blood, outside the school in Srinagar.
Distraught parents, many of them weeping, searched for their children at the scene of the blast in the centre of the main city of Kashmir where separatist rebels are waging a 15-year-old revolt against Indian rule.
"The grenade exploded as the schoolchildren were coming out of the gate of the school as it closed for the day," a police officer told reporters."
