After a hiatus, I have decided to bring this site back as a Tumblr site. This old blogger hosted site will be using the webofgoodnews.blogspot.com domain, but will not be updated anymore (the RSS feeds in the sidebar update automatically though). I have moved the old postings from here over to Tumblr and have already started posting new stuff. To follow the new Web of Good news, visit Webofgoodnews.com (or webofgoodnews.tumblr.com).

Emily Brewer, a 36-year-old UNC doctoral student from Carrboro, and her 2-year-old son, Dylan, were headed to the bus stop near Abernethy Hall when she spotted Aguilar in distress.
