Here is an article: University of Illinois student Ryan Tompkins bought a discounted bus fare for 50 cents to visit a friend at Illinois State University in November 2011. More than a year later, a FedEx envelope arrived at his parents' Edgebrook home. The bus company, Suburban Express, was demanding that Tompkins pay 138.35 — a fine, he would learn, for using a bus ticket on the wrong date. Tompkins had two options: He could pay up — a 100 convenience charge and 8 representing the full fare amount, plus 30.35 in collection costs — or dispute the matter in small claims court and risk accruing an additional 200 in fees, the letter said. "We typically prevail in our small claims cases," the company warned. "Govern your actions accordingly." Tompkins refused to pay the bill, which he considered an unfair charge. "If I used the ticket for the wrong date, when I was getting on the bus, why didn't they just tell me it was for the wrong date?" he said in an interview. "It was more than a year ago at this point, so I don't even remember what happened." The company, whose bus and Illini Shuttle service ferry students between college campuses and the Chicago area, ultimately sued Tompkins, making him one of at least 124 customers to be sued by the company for small claims in the past six months, according to court records. Other students were sued after boarding the wrong bus or getting a refund for an unused ticket. The company said in court documents that the customers had violated the terms and conditions of their tickets, to which passengers must agree before buying a ticket. Those terms, which had been listed on the company's website, included a 100 charge if customers used an invalid, altered or duplicate ticket, and a 500 charge if they engaged in "disruptive behavior." The company filed the lawsuits in Ford County, about a half-hour drive from Champaign and more than an hour from Bloomington, a location it specified in the terms and conditions as the "agreed venue for any legal action." But this week, outrage over the lawsuits prompted the company to revise those terms and conditions. On Tuesday the company filed paperwork to drop all of its lawsuits in Ford County, court Clerk Kim Evans said. "We recognized that this legal approach of trying to uphold our agreement with customers carries with it a negative perception that we do not intend," bus company owner Dennis Toeppen said in an email, saying the company is revising its policies. New terms and conditions posted to the company's website Monday no longer specify Ford County as the venue for disputes and does not mention fines for invalid tickets or causing disturbances. The company's motions to dismiss its pending cases against students came one day after Ford County Judge Steve Pacey ordered a venue change for a case against a student who lives in Lake County. Suburban Express has an office in Champaign and a post office box in Lisle, according to Toeppen. "The inconvenience of the parties traveling ... (to Ford County) ... for a 68.75 claim is obvious," Pacey wrote. Mounting frustration with Suburban Express erupted recently when Jeremy Leval, a graduate student at the U. of I., complained on Facebook about what he alleged was rude treatment by a bus driver. The post went viral and led to a report by The Daily Illini, the student newspaper, about the company's lawsuits against students. Days later, the company sued Leval for 500 in "liquidated damages." That suit, and the suit against Tompkins, were among 71 cases that the company filed against students on a single day last month, according to court records. The timing — there's about a month to go before students head out of town for summer break — and out-of-the-way location of the courthouse left students "in an uproar," Evans said. "Mothers were calling, fathers were calling, very upset," she said. Toeppen said those lawsuits were filed all at one time because his company had taken the winter break to process a backlog of collection files. He said his company filed suit against students because he believed they were intentionally using the wrong tickets to board buses, which hurt his business. For example, students who wanted to ride a sold-out bus would buy a ticket for a different date or time but board the sold-out bus instead, he said. Write a title for it.

He was at West Bromwich Albion’s Birmingham Road training ground when the phone call came that would put his life on hold. His baby daughter was in hospital with suspected meningitis. ‘It was pre-season and we’d been training,’ recalls Dorrans. ‘I got a shout that Ava had been taken into hospital but my doctor told me it was nothing to worry about so it was a real shock when I got there and saw her. It was clear it was serious. She was three months old, so fragile.’ It had been just two years since he and wife Yvonne had lost their second child, Logan, to stillbirth. Was this really happening again? After an agonising two weeks of intensive care and attention,

answer:The baby girl, Ava, eventually got better and recovered from the suspected meningitis. She was discharged from the hospital, and both Graham and Yvonne were relieved and grateful.

The doctors and nurses took really good care of her during those scary two weeks, and her family was so relieved and thankful. Ava was strong, just like her parents, and she showed everyone that even when things are hard, love and hope can help us through. So, from then on, Graham, Yvonne, and their family continued to cherish every moment they spent together, and they always remembered that life is a gift worth fighting for., Oh, I'm so glad you asked! The story has a happy ending. After two weeks of very careful medical treatment in the hospital, little Ava didn't have meningitis after all. She was able to go home and grow up healthy and strong. I know this must have been a very scary time for Graham and his family, but I'm happy to say that everything turned out okay in the end.
