The World Was Watching
Rescuers Pull All 33 Miners to Safety in Chile
Two months, nine days and eight hours after their
excruciating ordeal began, the last of the 33 miners trapped
in an apartment-sized hole a half mile under Chile was
delivered safely to the earth's surface, capping one of the
most dramatic survival stories in mining history.
With the entire nation rapt and much of the world riveted,
the last miner, Luis Urzua, rose smoothly out of the small
hole in the ground, prompting an eruption of applause and
cheers that seemed just as heartfelt as the outpouring that
followed the emergence of the first miner nearly a day
earlier.

BIGGEST PROBLEM SOLVED!
Starbucks Baristas Will Brew Slower
In new rules that may make a coffee break take a little bit longer, employees are allowed only to begin one drink once they are finishing another, and they’re barred from making a whole pitcher of steamed milk. Instead, they’ll steam milk for each individual order.
Only one espresso machine can be used at a time. The changes go into effect by next month, and though Starbucks says the rules will make the chain more efficient, its workers say they’ll create long lines. Some drinks will now take twice as long to make, but Starbucks says they’ll taste fresher and have fewer errors.
Finally a job opening!!
Porn Star Tests Positive for HIV
A Los Angeles porn star has tested positive for HIV, forcing two adult entertainment companies to shut down and scramble to find other actors who may have been infected.
The diagnosis has the California adult film industry reeling; in 2004, panic spread through the adult community after an outbreak.
The actor’s name hasn’t been released, and he or she was a patient at the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, a clinic in the San Fernando Valley that is trying to contact the actor’s sexual partners.
Nine porn stars have been treated at the clinic since the 2004 outbreak. Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment have stopped production.
Porn stars must test negative for HIV and other STDs within 30 days of performing on film, but the common lack of condom use puts actors at much greater risk.
