Victim of 'kick a ginger day' head back to school

"I tried to explain to them that this wasn't right thing to do, that it couldn't be a joke because it involved violence. But they didn't listen to me," he said. "My opinion of the people (who participated in the kicking) changed. I didn't think they were capable of that before, but after Thursday I just viewed them in a different light. I didn't want to go back and see them again that day," he said. "Because really, it's like a hate crime directed against a group of people," he said.
"I like my red hair. I never thought it would be a cause for violence."

Astronauts vow remaining tool bag won't drift away

During the two-week mission's first spacewalk Tuesday, the tool bad floated out of a larger bag as Stefanyshyn-Piper cleaned a leaking grease gun. Tied to the lost briefcase-sized bag were a pair of grease guns used to lubricate a stuck joint that controls the space station's rotating solar wing. The bag is one of the biggest objects ever lost by a spacewalking astronaut, and NASA guessed it cost about $100,000. "We're definitely not going to do it again. You're not going to see us lose another bag," lead spacewalker Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper said in an interview from the international space station
I find it stupid that someone would pay so little attention to a bag containing $100,000 dollars worth of tools. If I where her i would feel kind of embarassed as the bag slowly floated off into the cold darkness of outerspace.

Teen wins fight to refuse transplant
Hanna Jones was diagnosed with leukemia at age 4. Doctors later found a heart defect. In eight years, she has had chemotherapy and nearly a dozen operations. She denied a heart transplant that could save her life because she doesn't want to risk spending the rest of her life in the hospital.
If I where her I would accept the heart transplant in hope of living longer. But at the same time I can see where she is coming from in a sense that it would suck if you had to be in the hospital all the time you wouldn't have any freedom.
