Down in the mouth -
The pain and
suffering of braces
My mouth is a mess – at least that’s what the orthodontist
said.
I sure didn’t expect that getting braces would be as
painful as it’s turned out to be so far, and I haven’t even gotten them yet.
When I first learned I would probably need braces, I was
nervous. My mom and dad delayed it so often that I didn’t think I would ever get
them.

On the scene at the X Prize Cup
The name Rocket Man seems pretty
self-explanatory: he uses a rocket (technically a jetpack) to fly around at air
shows and other large events to entertain the crowd.
Rocket Man, also known as Dan
Schlund, has been doing this for 30 years. He flew three times today at the
X-Prize Cup.
His started out his flights
standing on the tarmac with his jetpack strapped onto his back and the crowd
anticipating his "launch."

Mystery
surrounds dead ducks at Bristol Eastern
The
mysterious deaths of at least eight baby ducklings in a Bristol, Connecticut
high school courtyard last May angered students and teachers who had fed and
cared for the birds.
“They didn’t hurt anyone,” said Bristol Eastern High School student Kelly
Bolduc, who fed the ducks. “They were really special, because they were almost
like Eastern’s mascots. Everyone loved them.”
