Bus driver saves children from a burning bus. A North Carolina school bus diver Lindora Richardson was driving her students home from Chantilly Montessori Elementary School when the bus burst into flames. Richardson stated that "she smelt a burning smell and pulled over to investigate. Smoke began to come from under the dash board. She then exited the children off the bus one by one through the emergency exit and they all remained calm." The children were ages 5 through 10. After the children got off the bus safely they walked up the street and within minutes the bus became engulfed in flames. Richardson is a hero and she followed emergency policy and the school district praised her heroic and quick response.

Cancer drug reverse Alzheimer's in mice. The study took place at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine they gave a mega dose of bexarotene, a drug used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma a type of skin cancer. Within 72 hours the mice showed a remarkable improvement in memory and 50% of the amyloid plaque commonly found in the brain with Alzheimer's disease was gone from the brain. The drug also raised the levels of apolipoprotein E that keeps amyloid beta levels lower. Gary Landreth the lead researcher hopes to give the drug to Alzheimer's patients within two months.

A woman leaves her home to the homeless. Leila Boroughs lived a quiet life in San Fransisco and fed the homeless outside of her apartment. After she died it was revealed that she willed her condo to the city to make it a homeless shelter. Boroughs died at 84 and her neighbors described her "as eclectic, kind soul and would offer to pick up their groceries." She fed the homeless who squatted on the ledges outside of her apartment. If her condo doesn't become deemed for a suitable homeless shelter the city will sell the condo worth $400,000 to $500,000. The money could help 150 families and get them into housing or help families stay in their homes.
