Teacher suspended for allegedly touching girl with a banana
A teacher in Marion County, Florida, has returned to his classroom duties after an unpaid suspension for allegedly touching a female student with a banana. The school district suspended Jonathan Hampton from his teaching job at North Marion High School after the student's parents complained, nearly three months after the incident.
According to his discipline letter dated May 13, 2013, a student said Hampton "rubbed a student's head and neck area with a banana" during a lecture about "cylinder objects, phalluses and/or sex symbols." Hampton's stepfather, Mark Fiedelholtz, a South Florida lawyer, said, "According to my son - which has not been reported - he doesn't recall ever touching the student with a banana, but if he did it would be to get their attention."
"That is disgusting, very disgusting," said Dale Johnson, a grandmother at the school. "I don't think he should be allowed to teach kids. You don't do stuff like that and get away with it." A district spokesman said it seems the teacher was using the banana as a prop in his Freudian psychology lecture and said the discussion topic was district-approved, but the touching was inappropriate.
The district said the girl's parents complained because she felt embarrassed. And she wasn't alone. The district said other students felt the topics in his advanced class veered over the line with "excessive frequency, causing discomfort to many of your students," said the letter. Hampton's stepfather, Fiedelholtz, disputed the possible sexual connotation of the banana.

Drunken moon blamed for car rollover
A drunken "moon" has almost cost two lives in Australia's Northern Territory. Watch Commander Garry Smith said he hoped the 24-year-old man had learned his lesson - "don't do bum flashes". "It was a complete act of stupidity," he said.
He said an 18-year-old woman was overtaking a semi-trailer travelling at 100km/h on the Stuart Highway, in Virginia, when her passenger suddenly un-clipped his belt and dropped his pants. "The passenger decided it would be a great idea to 'moon' the driver of the semi-trailer," he said. But Senior Sergeant Smith said the bare-arsed man distracted the driver when he lost his balance as he was trying to get himself into the right position.
He said the man then fell on the driver which caused her view to be blocked and she lost control of the car, at about 2.20am. "She veered off the road and travelled for about 100m through the scrub, hitting a large rock which caused it (the car) to roll over on to its roof," he said. He said the pair narrowly missed crashing into a large gum tree that could have had "dramatic results".
Palmerston Police and St John Ambulance attended the scene before the pair was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for minor injuries. Sen-Sgt Smith said: "If it wasn't so dangerous, it could have been quite funny. But under the circumstances, we were lucky we weren't telling a family of a death." The man will be summonsed to appear in court for not wearing a seatbelt, interfering with the driver's control of the vehicle and obstructing their view.

Couple ended up on wrong continent after airline error
Two US holidaymakers found themselves a long way from their intended destination
after an airline confused two airport codes. Sandy Valdiviseo and her husband Triet Vo were intending to fly from Los Angeles
to Dakar in Senegal with Turkish Airlines.
However, instead they ended up almost 7,000 miles away – on an entirely different continent – in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, after the airport codes were mixed up. The airport code for Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is DKR, while the code for the airport in Dhaka, which is the capital of Bangladesh, is DAC.
After arriving in Istanbul, the couple had boarded a connecting flight. It was only after seeing the route map of the flight’s progress, which showed the plane over the Middle East, that they realised the error. “When the flight attendant said we were heading to Dhaka, we believed that this was how you pronounced 'Dakar' with a Turkish accent," Ms Valdivieso said.
When they arrived in Bangladesh, the pair informed Turkish Airlines about the mistake, and tried to arrange a transfer to Senegal. The airline then insisted on tracking down the recording of the initial booking before acknowledging the error and installing the couple on flights to West Africa, 12 hours after their arrival in Bangladesh. Their baggage arrived in Senegal two days after they did. "We are very, very sorry that this happened," a Turkish Airlines spokeswoman said.

Quarrel with girlfriend caused man to cut off his penis and flush it down toilet
In a fit of anger following a quarrel with his girlfriend, a drunken man cut off his penis and testicles with a pair of scissors.
The 46-year-old man from Jilong city in Taiwan then flushed his severed organ down the toilet .
His girlfriend could only watch in horror. She rushed the man, who was bleeding profusely, to a hospital.
Three centimetres (a little more than an inch) of the man's penis remain, which allows him to urinate.

Cyclists' loud bragging about bedroom antics leads to renaming of route - Update
Complaints about cyclists' in Australia talking loudly about their sex lives have become a joke among the riding community, which is using new tech tools as a reminder to keep quiet along the controversial route.
The popular cycling map app Strava has had one of its most popular Brisbane segments renamed 'Bedroom antics - shhhh' following complaints from homeowners along that route that riders were overly noisy and even obscene.
Complaints from Yeronga residents sparked a petition last month to crack down on riders talking too loudly along a stretch of the popular River Loop. One regular loop cyclist Glyn Diwell said he thought renaming the map was a clever way of reminding riders to be on the lookout for cranky locals.
"I think it’s very funny and shows that cyclists on the whole have a good sense of humour. I also think it’s pretty clever in that it indicates the segments, roads, areas along a specific route where cyclists may encounter difficult residents,” he said. "I think on the whole the debate, discussion is more about the residents getting fed up with the number of cyclists along the River Loop - probably pretty much every day of the week.
“It’s the only safe route in Brisbane where cyclists don’t encounter any traffic lights or any obstacles for a good 40km ride. The council should invest in providing safer cycle paths along roads around the city so people have alternative routes to do, rather than wasting money putting up signs which will only formalise the River Loop route further rather than discourage riders - which is what I think the residents actually want.” The Yeronga woman who first reported the sex talk laughed when told about the app. "I love it. That’s hilarious,’’ she said.

Russian space lizards return to earth
A Russian capsule carrying mice, lizards, newts, gerbils, snails, crayfish and fish returned to earth on Sunday after spending a month in space for what scientists said was the longest experiment of its kind. Fewer than half of the 53 mice and other rodents who blasted off on April 19 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome survived the flight.
Vladimir Sychov, deputy director of the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems and the lead researcher said this was to be expected. The surviving mice were sufficient to complete the study, which was designed to show the effects of weightlessness and other factors of spaceflight on cell structure, he said. All 15 of the lizards reportedly survived.
The capsule's orbit reached 575 kilometres (345 miles) above Earth. That's higher than the orbit of the International Space Station, which is currently at a maximum altitude of about 421 kilometres (262 miles). Russian state television showed the round Bion-M capsule after it landed slightly off course but safely in a planted field near Orenburg, about 1,200 kilometres (750 miles) southeast of Moscow.
"This is the first time that animals have flown in space for so long on their own," Sychov said in the television broadcast from the landing site. The mice and other animals were flown back to Moscow to undergo a series of tests at Sychov's institute, which is part of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Shetland pony adopted orphaned lamb
A Shetland pony forged an unlikely friendship when it adopted an orphaned lamb,
even standing watch over her new family member at night. Despite having a young foal of its own, the mother pony allowed the lamb to
feed from it and watched on as the two young animals cuddled up against each
other.
The odd couple forged their usual bond in the Black Mountains in Wales, where more than 2,000 sheep and around 60 horses roam. Horserider and equine vet Georgina Hirst, 29, did a double take when she spotted the pair feeding while out riding on Hay Bluff. "I was out riding one day and I spotted a baby lamb feeding," she said. "The first time I saw it I couldn't quite believe it - I thought I might be imagining it. But then I saw it again and again over the space of about a week.
"It seemed the Shetland mare had adopted the orphaned lamb and was letting it feed from her. Shetlands are not normally so amenable. The lamb was obviously hungry and it's quite amazing that it learnt to suckle from the mare. It might have just copied the foal." The vet, from Hay on the Wye, Powys, added: "Trying to get mares to adopt foals can be very challenging so it's incredible the mare was so receptive of the lamb.
"She would even stand guard while the foal and the lamb slept cuddled together." Despite the developing friendship, Ms Hirst decided to step in when it became apparent both the lamb and the pony's foal were not getting enough food. Thankfully the lamb had an identity mark on it and she was able to track down the farmer.

Coyote pup saved after close encounter with cactus
A coyote pup in Arizona is on the mend after suffering an unpleasant encounter with a cholla cactus this week. Sun City West resident Gwen Maxwell said she went for a walk on Tuesday morning when she saw what she thought was a small puppy across the street. Maxwell said the animal crawled under some bushes, and eventually disappeared.
A little while later, Maxwell walked around the side of her home and saw the coyote pup in her backyard covered in cholla cactus. After speaking with a neighbor about the animal, Maxwell watched the pup from her window while waiting for help to arrive. Maxwell said the pup’s mother also made its way to her home. “The mother would walk all around that little coyote, and she must have known she couldn’t do anything about it.
“Finally, she just laid out on the gravel on the courtyard and watched that little one and was there for quite some time before she wandered off,” Maxwell recalled. The coyote pup eventually walked away from Maxwell’s home and towards the Pebblebrook Golf Course, where it would come in contact with maintenance worker Jose Soto and Assistant Superintendent Shawn Bordine. With the help of heavy leather gloves and a pair of pliers, Bordine and Soto were able to remove the pieces of cactus from the coyote.
“Jose and Shawn did such a good job,” said Maxwell. “They were very gentle.” After removing all the cactus, Bordine and Soto took the coyote pup between some houses and let it go join its mother and siblings. Bordine said later in the day he saw the pup and its father enjoying a little reunion. “Dad gave him a couple of licks, they played, and then ran away,” said Bordine. “I’m glad we were able to help, because I hate to see an animal down.”

Rescued dog found nursing kitten
A dog found lost and hurt in South Carolina was discovered to be caring for a tiny, nursing kitten. When Anderson Animal Control Officer Michelle Smith climbed down a steep embankment in Anderson to rescue a yelping dog, she saw a black-and-white Shih Tzu- mix curled in a tangle of bushes and briars. But when she blinked and looked again, she spotted a tiny kitten nestled next to the dog, suckling milk from her.
"I didn’t know what to think," she said. "I was shocked and surprised and then of course, awww." The dog and kitten received the same reaction when Smith took them to the animal shelter. Volunteers marvelled at the way the dog, which is at least 5 years old, looks out for the 5-week-old kitten. Jessica Cwynar, director of the shelter, says such behaviour is natural for mammals.
"It would be like one of us seeing a neglected or abandoned child and taking it under our wing," she said. Cwynar said the dog likely experienced a surge of hormones that induced milk production. "She’s producing some, but not all that (the kitten) will need nutrition-wise," Cwynar said. Volunteers are feeding the kitten tiny bottles of milk, a meal her canine mother likes as well.

The dog’s striped collar and clean fur means that someone is likely missing her. "She is someone’s pet because she has been groomed and has been well taken care of," Cwynar said. There is already a long line of would-be foster and adoption candidates for the pair, but Cwynar hopes that the dog’s owner comes forward and is willing to adopt a kitten. If that happens, the animal shelter will verify the dog’s ownership through veterinary or grooming records.

Zimbabwean university lecturer jailed for calling Robert Mugabe 'a rotten old donkey'
A lecturer at a government university in Zimbabwe has been jailed for three months for labelling veteran President Robert Mugabe "a rotten old donkey," lawyers said on Saturday. Chenjerai Pamhiri, 38, a lecturer at Great Zimbabwe State University in Masvingo city, was convicted and jailed by a magistrate on Friday, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights said.
Prosecutors alleged that Pamhiri, while doing his shopping at a local supermarket last week, shouted that Mugabe was "dirt which should be discarded, a rotten old donkey". He is also said to have urged people not to vote for him in elections expected sometime this year. Police arrested him as he left the supermarket.
"We received the shocking news of the conviction and sentencing of Pamhiri and we have promptly moved in to assist him," Kumbirai Mafunda, spokesman for the human rights lawyers, said. "Our lawyers will file an appeal against the conviction and sentence and a make a separate application for bail pending appeal."
Arrests for slandering Zimbabwe's long-time president and breaching the strict public order law are common and those found guilty usually get away with light sentences, fines or are ordered to do community service. Mafunda said rights lawyers have recorded over 60 such cases since 2010.

Man who put improvised chastity belt on wife jailed for 10 years - Update
An Indian man, who put a 'chastity lock' on his wife in a cruel, self-devised way,
was sentenced to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment by a court on Friday even though the
victim had retracted her statement during the trial.
Additional Sessions Judge Avnindra Kumar Singh also imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 (£12, $18) on the accused Sohanlal Chouhan (38), a mechanic by profession, under sections 326 (causing grievous hurt) and section 498 (subjecting wife to cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code. According to the prosecution, Sohanlal, over four years, 'locked' his wife's private parts every time he left the home. He had carried out a crude surgery on her to put the lock.
The suspicion of her character made him indulge in this bizarre cruelty, Public Prosecutor Jyoti Tomar told the court. The woman suffered serious injuries in the process, which had involved piercing her with knitting needles. It came to light when the woman tried to end her life by consuming rat poison on July 16 last year. While treating her, a doctor at the MY Hospital in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, found the lock and informed the police.

Dr Vibha Moses, who examined the woman, told the court that she had found the lock on woman's private parts, and the woman told her that her husband had fixed it four years ago, after forcing her to eat opium for anaesthetic effect. Interestingly, though the victim retracted her statement during the trial, the judge relied on the doctor's statement and the circumstantial evidence to convict Sohanlal, advocate Tomar said.
