ABCNEWS.com : Woman Just Can't Shake Flock of Crows:
Years ago, school bus driver Phyllis Alverdes started feeding crows seeds and peanuts.

The birds got to know her and her car so well that now a flock follows her when she pulls into her parking space at work next to the school district bus lot. Dozens of crows come out of nowhere — even though Alverdes stopped feeding them two weeks ago.

They still want breakfast, and they want it now.

The crows may be smart, but they don't know the trouble Alverdes is in.

It turns out the crows like to peck insulation off of buses, and Alverdes was suspended from her job last week.

She's back on the job now after an investigation, although she has been directed not to park her crow-crowded car where the other bus drivers park.

She's still afraid she'll lose her job because she just can't shake the crows.

"When I come to work every day, I don't know how I can be expected to suddenly have them stop following me," she told ABCNEWS affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle.

She said she received a letter from the district directing her "to stop bringing them."

The Bush administration and outside experts are touting these new figures as a sign that, eight months after the fall of Saddam Hussein, major progress is starting to be made in the oft-criticized effort by the United States and coalition partners to restore order and rebuild Iraq. 'If these numbers are accurate, they show that the systems we put in place four months ago to develop a police force based on the principles of a free and democratic society are starting to ...

Яџѕѕіаиѕ. Yes, I know that spells Ytdzdziais, don't bother me with details. If Тетяіѕ can do it, I can too. "We went up a short incline. This brought us to an ordinary glass door. We knocked. We waited. We waited. We noticed the doorbell. We rang. We waited. Eventually we grew bold and entered. This brought us into a narrow hallway that had all the indications of being nothing more than drywall, veneer and ceiling tile. We said 'Hello....?' No one answered our question. We proceeded down the hallway flanked by doors, unsure as to whether the desire not to surprise someone for the sake of politeness overrode the rudeness of opening a closed door. At an impasse, we kept walking down the hallway, not opening any doors. But, we rapidly became trapped, when we realized that the only way out of this hallway was to open a door. Because it seemed the least likely to be the entrance to an office, bathroom or weird eastern European slave dungeon, we chose the last door the h...
