2007-04-24 05:17:00
PERU, Indiana (AP) -- An 11-year-old girl stopped a van that went out of control when her diabetic mother became ill, police said. Indiana State Police Senior Trooper Joe Swisher said Abigail Parker's actions were "nothing short of heroic." Besides stopping the van, Abigail kept her mother and 8-year-old brother calm and informed paramedics about her mother's condition, Swisher said. State police dispatched an ambulance and troopers to U.S. 31 south of Peru on Saturday after the girl called 911 and another person reported a reckless driver. Officers found the van stopped, partially blocking the southbound lane of the highway. Deborah Parker, 36, of Muncie, who had been driving, was unaware of her surroundings. She was treated for low blood sugar. Abigail told police her mother had started driving erratically at about 80 mph. The girl said she climbed from the rear seat of the van onto the woman's lap and managed to stop the vehicle before calling 911. Goosey's Gabbings.....

Giving your boss a Benny Hill slap on the head is a career limiting action?
2007-04-18 04:57:00
A worker fired after giving his boss a Benny-Hill style slap on the head at a works night out to promote team building and bonding has won his unfair sacking claim and almost £2,000 compensation. Derick Brown, 49, from Dundee, a team leader in the stores department of Tokheim UK, had been forewarned by customer services manager Robert Fraser not to give him a 'hard time' at the event. A Dundee employment tribunal heard his employers, who supply fuel dispensing equipment, hosted a night out for workers and their partners in November 2005, providing each with a voucher to be exchanged for drinks at the bar and a half bottle of wine per person at the table. Mr Brown and some workmates were watching a boxing match on TV in the bar. One of the contestants was bald, and the tribunal noted in that respect may have looked similar to Mr Fraser. The contestant looked like a character from a Benny Hill comedy sketch, during which Benny Hill pats or slaps a bald man on the head. Mr B...

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Springtime usually signals 'building time' in the housing world. Despite a decline in the housing market some families are still choosing to build custom homes. And those plans include something new, separate master bedrooms.A growing number of couples are living together but sleeping separately.Howard and Bev Rossman have been married for 33 years. They love each other but can't stand sleeping together. Bev has restless legs and Howard snores.So they bought a home and tore it down to build a custom home. The plans included what they call a "snoring room"."It takes out the tension of sleeping together, not the romance," says Bev Rossman. "So it eliminates an aspect of conflict."Bev says in the past she would have to search for another place to sleep when her husband snored. "I would have to go to our son's room or our daughter's room in the middle of the night," says Bev. "In the morning he would wake up and go 'I'm so sorry that you had to move' but now ...
