A Mexican governor from the northern state of Nuevo Leon awarded kindergarten teacher Martha Rivera Alanis an award for her "outstanding civic courage" in her protecting her class from collateral damage from a nearby gunfight in Monterrey. Rivera Alanis used her cell phone to tape a video, in which she is heard coaxing the class to lie flat on the floor.
"No, my love, nothing is going to happen, just put your little face on the floor," Rivera Alanis told one worried little pupil. Loud gunfire is heard on the video. Paramedics later confirmed the gunfire was from the slaying of five people at a nearby taxi stand.
On the video, this fantastic teacher distracts the kids by leading them in a song. LINK.
6-2-11: Regarding a completely different woman in the news, Michelle Hoang Thi Le is missing. She was last seen at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Hayward. She was last seen after her clinical rotation on Friday. Let's hope this 5'6" woman is found alive and well.
6-3-11: Mean time, a severe strand of E. coli is threatened the health of Europe. The source of the E. coli is thought to be raw tomatoes and cucumbers but has yet to be isolated. So far, 18 people have died and almost 2000 have been afflicted with severe illness. Scientists have classified the new strain as "super toxic."

Wow…drug wars I guess. As George Carlin once said, “Want to end the war on drugs, start stringing up the Wall Street Bankers who launder the drug money and it will end tomorrow”
Teacher making best of bad situation.

About Michelle Hoang Thi Le.

(Immediately I think of Phuong Le. She was a recently graduated nurse who was abducted from a Barnes and Noble parking lot and murdered a year ago. That happened only about 50 miles from where Michelle is missing. Phuong's case has not been solved so her attacker could still be on the loose.)
The similarity of the two victims is ere. They both look so similar...

Super scary!
Wash your food before you eat it! Even the packaged butcher cut meats you buy. People cough, sneeze, touch things, than the product, without any harmful intentions. And especially produce, 30 people may have handled that tomato before you decided to buy it and statistics show, as many as 80% of humans DO NOT wash their hands after visiting the rest room...
...be careful whose hand you shake!
Here is a link to the E. coli story:

(The WHO recommends that to avoid food-borne illnesses, people wash their hands, keep raw meat separate from other foods, thoroughly cook their food, and wash fruits and vegetables, especially if eaten raw. Experts also recommend peeling raw fruits and vegetables if possible.)
(Some scientists suspect the deadly E. coli might have been in manure used to fertilize vegetables.)
kind of hard to follow all those tips in a restaurent video guy
Eat at home or bring your lunch till this thing is under control...better than the illness that sounds painful.
I got salmonella once from eating some cottage cheese at a restaurant. It was served from a salad bar that did not keep it cold enough...I thought it tasted funny but did not trust my instincts and ate it anyway.
E coli will at a minimum shut down your kidneys and make you wish you were dead!
