The suit was against the assistant principal of the school. I doubt the assistant principal will be capable of paying $10m, so the teacher likely won't see any of the money. Especially if the assistant principal ends up in prison after the criminal trial.
Don't worry, you'll get your fall back as regularly scheduled. However, when the clock hits midnight we're immediately jumping ahead an hour again so we permanently land on DST.
Believe it or not, the helmet debate continues to rage on to this day (amongst cyclists anyways) with both sides making compelling arguments.
I think for those in the anti-helmet crowd, their strongest arguments are that helmets may disincentivize people from riding, and that resources and focus is better spent on improving infrastructure and lowering speed limits.
As for me, I've gotten a concussion even while wearing a helmet and I hate to think what the outcome would have been if I weren't in the pro-helmet crowd.
Wring it out and hang it up to dry I guess.
