Man Finds Woman's Wallet Stolen In 1973

Sandy Baumberger says she never expected to see her wallet again when it was stolen 35 years ago.

But it has been found by a 30-year-old dental student who tracked her down and returned it.

Eric Wherley says he found the wallet in a bathroom stall at school after a water pipe broke and loosened some ceiling tiles. The thief who stole the wallet apparently had hidden it in the drop ceiling.

Baumberger says she and her husband are planning to give Wherley a gift for his efforts.

Man Operates On His Own Throat With Steak Knife

A man who was suffering breathing difficulties took medical matters into his own hands in a rather extreme way – by performing a tracheotomy on himself with a steak knife.

Steve Wilder, of Omaha, Nebraska, woke in the night struggling to breathe. Fearing that he was about to die, and not believing that an ambulance would reach him in time, he took the obvious course of action – he went to the kitchen and picked up a steak knife.

He used the knife to cut a hole in his throat, allowing air into his lungs.

Breastfeeding Associated With Increased Intelligence

The largest randomized study of breastfeeding ever conducted reports that breastfeeding raises children’s IQs and improves their academic performance, a McGill researcher and his team have found.

Weight Loss Possible When Self-belief High

If you are what you eat, what you eat has a lot to do with how you think about yourself, says a QUT PhD researcher whose study is part of an international research project on the healthy ageing of women.

Queensland University of Technology nursing researcher Rhonda Anderson said self-efficacy had emerged as a strong influence on women’s decision to do more exercise or eat more healthily.

She surveyed more than 560 South-East Queensland women aged between 51 and 66 on their exercise and diet habits and found that although women in their 50s were keen to make healthier diet and exercise changes, they had few effective strategies to draw upon.

Robobug Goes To War

It may have seemed like just another improbable scene from a Hollywood sci-fi flick – Tom Cruise battling against an army of robotic spiders intent on hunting him down.  But the storyline from Minority Report may not be quite as far fetched as it sounds.

British defence giant BAE Systems is creating a series of tiny electronic spiders, insects and snakes that could become the eyes and ears of soldiers on the battlefield, helping to save thousands of lives.

Prototypes could be on the front line by the end of the year, scuttling into potential danger areas such as booby-trapped buildings or enemy hideouts to relay images back to troops safely positioned nearby. Read Full Story

Japanese Official Demoted For 780,000 Hits On Porn Sites

A Japanese civil servant was demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on pornographic Web sites on his office computer over nine months. The man, a Kinokawa city government employee in western Japan, visited porn sites from June 2007 to February 2008, city official Tomiko Waki said. The man’s name was withheld.

City officials said the number of hits discovered on his computer’s internal log was so high in part because one click on certain types of pornographic sites registers multiple hits. Despite his frequent porn viewing, none of his colleagues noticed his activities, which he apparently conducted throughout the workday.

“Each desk is set apart from each other,” Waki said, adding that the man logged 170,000 hits on porn sites in July alone. The man’s supervisors discovered his extensive porn site visits after his computer became infected with a virus, prompting officials to examine his Web browser’s history.
