CHARGED. EVE HIBBITS, 31, for allegedly allowing her 2-year-old daughter and 10-month-old twin sons to become severely sunburned at a county fair; with a misdemeanor count of child endangerment; in Brilliant, Ohio. Hibbits spent eight days in jail and was initially charged with three felony counts before doctors downgraded the children's diagnosis to first-degree burns.

PLEADED GUILTY. LIZZIE GRUBMAN, 31, New York City publicist to the stars; to assault and leaving the scene of an accident, in which she plowed her Mercedes SUV backward into a crowd outside a Hamptons nightclub, injuring 16 people. Grubman will probably serve two months in jail and perform community service.

CONVICTED. DAVID WESTERFIELD, 50, of the February kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old neighbor Danielle van Dam; in San Diego. He faces a death sentence or life in prison without parole.

DIED. ESTHER SCHWIMMER, 5 months, after a 155-lb. black bear--normally a timid species--snatched the infant from her stroller; of trauma; in Fallsburg, N.Y.

DIED. DR. MARNIE ROSE, 28, of brain cancer. Her battle against the tumor was followed by millions on the six-week ABC reality series Houston Medical.

DIED. BENJAMIN C. THOMPSON, 84, architect who transformed a decrepit waterfront in Boston into the vibrant Faneuil Hall; in Cambridge, Mass. Critics sneered at the mall as a sanitized replica of a European market, but Thompson repeated the formula across the country, including at Washington's Union Station.

DIED. SWAMI SATCHIDA-NANDA, 87, prodigiously bearded guru who opened the 1969 Woodstock festival; while attending a peace conference in Madras, South India. Satchidananda attracted hundreds of om-chanting followers, including the '60s psychedelic artist Peter Max, musician Carole King and heart doctor Dean Ornish.

DIED. JEFF COREY, 88, craggy-faced character actor who, after being blacklisted during the McCarthy era, turned his garage into an acting school that would become the celebrated Professional Actor's Workshop; in Los Angeles. The school's student roster included Barbra Streisand, Robin Williams and the teenage Jack Nicholson.
