POLICE were called to check harassment claims against a Sydney councillor who put a motion to buy a sex toy for NSW Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge so she could go "screw herself".

Independent Strathfield councillor Danny Lim lodged the motion last month, recommending that the council purchase a vibrator for Ms Judge to encourage her "to stop screwing with the people of Strathfield and screw her- self instead".

Council refused to table the motion but The Daily Telegraph can reveal Ms Judge has lodged a complaint with the council calling for action against Mr Lim..

The mother is understood to be a 30-year-old Samoan woman who was on Pacific Blue flight DJ94 from Apia to Auckland, which landed at 3.20am.

It is not known whether any of the 150 passengers or crew members onboard noticed the mother go into labour.

The mother allegedly abandoned the baby on landing, but returned later.

Jean Lindsay, a spunky 67-year-old with two masters' degrees, panicked after she failed to land a job in the garden center of a Lowe's home-improvement store.

She started to wonder whether a woman of her age ever would be able to find work. She worried about her debt, and weeks of unemployment were turning into months.

After the job interview, she stayed up most of the night in the fits of an anxiety attack -- vomiting and huddling under the bedcovers with her two dogs.

"God, I felt like I was falling off the ends of the earth," she said.

A few days later, though, she tossed on a red sweater, plopped down in front of her computer, flipped on her Web camera -- and, suddenly, while streaming her story onto the Internet, things seemed OK.

A TEENAGER has faced court after his baggy trousers fell so low that he exposed himself - just as a female police officer was walking past.

Trent Joseph Wroe has learned the hard way that he should wear underwear after a night out in Mooloolaba on February 28, The Sunshine Coast Daily reports.

The 19-year-old faced Maroochydore Magistrates Court on a charge of public nuisance, after his pants fell down and exposed his bare bottom as he walked along the Esplanade just after midnight.

The case even managed to get a chuckle out of magistrate Tom Killeen, who advised Mr Wroe to wear a belt in future.

“I wore a belt today,” Mr Wroe said in court as he indicated to his shorts.

SOME sexual experimentation landed an American woman in a hospital with injuries tough to imagine and even more difficult to forget.

The Maryland woman was flown to hospital on Monday after she was injured in the incident involving a sex toy attached to a sabre saw blade, according to NBCWashington.com.

The man who called 911 about the incident admitted attaching the sex toy to the saw and then using the high-powered, homemade device on his partner, the St Mary's County Sheriff's Office said.

NBCWashington.com reported the saw cut through the plastic toy and wounded the woman.
The injuries were severe enough for her to be flown to hospital but she was released on Tuesday.

OMAHA, Neb. — Some of the dozens of new cars that vanished from a western Nebraska car dealership have turned up in other states and warrants have been issued for three missing executives, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

The 81 Fords and Toyotas taken from Legacy Auto Sales in Scottsbluff were valued at about $2.5 million.

Chief deputy county attorney John Childress of Scotts Bluff County said seven of the cars were found Wednesday at an auto auction in Utah. Others were found in Arizona, but he didn't know the number.

Childress said arrest warrants had been issued for owner Allen Patch, controller Rachel Fait and general manager Rick Covello, who are wanted on suspicion of theft.

A man has survived a plunge over Niagara Falls, clinging to a log long enough for a private helicopter to create a current that pushed him to safety, according to reports.

Investigators tell a Buffalo television station, WGRZ, that the victim was semiconscious when he was rescued and was taken to a hospital in Niagara Falls, Canada. His condition was not immediately known.

While investigators were not yet calling the leap a suicide attempt, they say the man did enter the water on his own. Authorities got a call from a witness telling them a man had jumped into the Horseshoe Falls, as the Canadian Falls are known. A short time later, he was seen near the base of the falls, clinging to a log.

A private helicopter from Niagara Falls Helicopter was called in and got within three metres of the victim. Wind from the chopper's blades forced enough of a current to push him closer to shore where rescuers could get to him.

GOOD HOPE, Ala. — It's one thing for a church in a big city like Dallas or Atlanta to tackle the ticklish topic of sex. It blends in with the urban scene.

It's another thing when a small-town congregation puts up billboards with the phrase "Great sex: God's way" on rural highways to promote a sermon series. You can't even legally buy beer in Cullman County, and a preacher is talking about S-E-X on Sunday morning?

Daystar Church, whose congregation has grown dramatically under pastor Jerry Lawson, has run up against the sensibilities of a conservative north Alabama community with a monthlong focus on sex.

A VICTORIAN funeral home worker accused of stealing cash from the houses of dead people told an assistant they "wouldn't need it any more", a court heard.
It was alleged David Rawlins, 37, looked through bedside drawers, under mattresses and in wardrobes.

Former colleague Rhiannon Leo told the Melbourne Magistrates' Court she saw Mr Rawlins steal money from a tin on a refrigerator as an elderly man lay dead on the kitchen floor.

Mr Rawlins then allegedly looked through the dead man's wallet.

Ms Leo said Mr Rawlins later told her that he should have stuffed something in the tin to stop it rattling and taken it from the house inside the body bag.

As he searched another man's shoes on the pretext of looking for house keys, Mr Rawlins allegedly said: "It's amazing where people hide things."

He also allegedly told Ms Leo that police who first arrived at the homes of the dead would have taken their share, and that "whatever was left was for us".

A FORMER soldier suffering trauma from his time in the army took a loaded gun into a Brisbane nightclub because he wanted to impress women, a court has been told.
Samuel John Radoll, 21, approached two women in The Met nightclub on October 25 last year and asked them to feel the "awesome" thing he had down his pants, the Brisbane Magistrates Court was told today.

The first woman happily chatted to Radoll, sat on his lap and had her photo taken with him after she discovered he had a gun secreted down the front of his jeans.

But the second woman reported him to security personnel, the court was told.

When security guards approached Radoll and tried to take the gun he struggled with them and warned them it was loaded.

A strange position to be in

A COMMUNITY nurse bought an artificial vagina for a sexually frustrated disabled teenager.

Stephanie Courts made the revelation at a Royal College of Nursing conference in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

She obtained the vibrating sex aid after the 15-year-old patient, who was severely disabled, became distressed at not being able to satisfy his sexual urges.

Ms Courts said the case highlighted a serious issue, the lack of national guidelines for dealing with the sexual needs of physically disabled adolescents.

Her team in Worcestershire eventually drew up its own sexual health policy for the local Primary Care Trust.

The nurses addressed the problem after consulting the 15-year-old boy’s parents.

Ms Courts said the team dealt “professionally with a potentially embarrassing and legally difficult situation”, Nursing Standard magazine reported.

But national guidelines were still needed for nurses finding themselves in similar situations.

Headline: Excommunications After Raped 9-Year-Old's Abortion

RIO DE JANEIRO — A Roman Catholic archbishop says the abortion of twins carried by a 9-year-old girl who allegedly was raped by her stepfather means excommunication for the girl's mother and her doctors.

Despite the nature of the case, the church had to hold its line against abortion, Archbishop Jose Cardoso Sobrinho said in an interview aired Thursday by Globo television.

"The law of God is higher than any human laws," he said. "When a human law — that is, a law enacted by human legislators — is against the law of God, that law has no value. The adults who approved, who carried out this abortion have incurred excommunication."

Health Minister Jose Gomes Temporao rebuked the archbishop, saying, "I'm shocked by two facts: by what happened to the girl and by the position of the archbishop, who in saying he defends life puts another at risk."

Abortion is generally illegal in Brazil, which is home to more Catholics than any other nation. But the procedure is allowed when the mother's life is in danger, when the fetus has no chance of survival or in rape cases where the woman has not passed her 20th week of pregnancy.

When her "teeth wouldn't go through it," Potts said she washed the chocolate off of the approximately inch-long object in the office sink and saw it certainly wasn't a peanut, an act FOXNews.com confirmed with several of her colleagues.

AUSTRALIAN businesses under pressure have been warned to be on the lookout for corporate psychopaths within their ranks........
"Businesses should be vigilant at any time but particularly now when companies are so vulnerable," ........ Mr Blaik, of Brisbane-based human resources firm Onetest, said psychopaths were believed to have contributed to some high-profile company collapses in recent years.

Psychopaths' main failings were that they did not show honesty, modesty and trustworthiness; did not experience emotions such as love, empathy and guilt; exhibited impulsive behaviour; and led anti-social lifestyles.........psychopaths were believed to make up 1 per cent of the general population but about 3 per cent of the corporate world. They actually exhibit characteristics highly valued by the business world because their lack of empathy and conscience can be seen as an ability to make tough decisions, and they don't seem to experience stress."
