Va. Man, 96, Recovering From Night in Cold Van
By Jamie Stockwell
Washington Post
Prostler Samuels is a methodical man, not one to appreciate a break in routine. And so, after his rescue from a parked church van where he sat freezing in his wheelchair for 18 hours, the 96-year-old nursing home resident only wanted to know one thing: Where were his hamburgers?
Every Sunday after church, Samuels was driven by another congregant to McDonald’s, always the one at Duke Street and Quaker Lane in Alexandria. There, he ordered two hamburgers (with nothing but mayo) and a large Coca-Cola (with plenty of ice and one straw, please). It was a meal he looked forward to each week and, like the 11 a.m. service at Alfred Street Baptist Church in Old Town Alexandria, was something he rarely missed.

WHO: Flesh-Eating Disease Making Comeback
A/P on Foxnews
GENEVA Â -Â A virtually eradicated disease that eats through people’s skin, cartilage and bones is reappearing in Africa, Asia, and South America, the World Health Organization warned Thursday.
Yaws, which is triggered by bacterial infection and can cause debilitating deformations, particularly in children under 15, once affected 50 million people worldwide before a massive treatment program in the 1950s almost succeeded in wiping it out.
“What happened then is that people focused on other things and took their eye off yaws,” WHO spokesman Ian Simpson said.
“The attempt now is to try and see what can be done to make sure that the number of cases doesn’t increase and that a new effort is made to eradicate it,” he said.
At present, some 500,000 people mostly in poor, rural areas are affected by yaws, according to WHO.
