The portable devices are used to shock a heart back into its normal rhythm if a person goes into sudden cardiac arrest.

- For city students with a technological or scientific bent, Thomas Edison Middle School has been a place that pledges an education a step above the norm, with a laptop for every student.

But in a year of changes for the Middletown school system, the board of education is now re-evaluating the district's seven-year partnership with the Meriden-based magnet school.
