MADISON, Wisconsin — If you are a female about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 140 pounds and willing to stick your head in a toilet, a prosecutor wants your help in proving a high-profile homicide case.

Al Moustakis, the district attorney in Vilas County, in northern Wisconsin, plans to recruit volunteers for a second round of controversial tests designed to prove that a woman was drowned by her husband in a toilet — and didn't commit suicide as he claims.

The experiments involve positioning women the size of the late Genell Plude of Land O' Lakes at a toilet to determine whether the version of events told by her husband, Douglas Plude, is plausible.

Defense lawyers say it's junk science.

FLINT, Mich. — Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with different women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support.

The Flint Journal reports 42-year-old Thomas Frazier was jailed Thursday. Court records say he owes six years of support payments.

The newspaper says the unemployed man could be held for 90 days if he doesn't pay $27,900.

Frazier says he thinks he fathered only three of the children and that it's unrealistic for authorities to expect him to pay child support that was $3,000 a month at one point.

THE GOVERNMENT should lift a ban on sex industry job advertisements, according to advocates.

Michelle, who operates one of the Northern Territory's biggest escort services, said the Federal Government ban on advertising work in the "adult retail industry" was unfair.

The Government is spending $4 billion on creating jobs.

Australian Sex Party convenor Fiona Patten said escort agencies and brothels "couldn't even advertise for a cleaner or an accountant" through government offices, the NT News reports.

Michelle said the ban should be lifted, even though she had doubts about luring women into the sex industry.

"As the operator of an escort agency, I agree," she said.

"But as a mother, I have my doubts."

She said "girls" had trouble getting out of the sex business because the money was so good.

A JUDGE has praised the efforts of a woman who turned detective to track down a member of a burglary gang after her home was robbed.
In the District Court in Brisbane, Judge Warren Howell sentenced William John Suey to five and a half years jail.

At the sentence hearing Judge Howell paid tribute to one of the victims, The Courier-Mail reports.

The woman, who lost $60,000 in property, was upset at losing some expensive dinner sets and placed an advertisement in The Courier-Mail's Weekend Shopper pretending to look for a similar set.

One of the replies led her to a home where she recognised her dinner set and other property.

Police were called and were able to trace the stolen goods to Suey and the robbery ring.

Suey, 54, made national headlines in April last year when he failed to return after a lunch break in his trial, as the Crown was preparing to cross-examine him.

Two California students can sue their community college district after their school threatened to suspend them for praying on campus, a federal judge ruled.

Kandy Kyriacou and Ojoma Omaga said the College of Alameda accused them of "disruptive behavior" after they had prayed with an ailing teacher in a faculty office in December of 2007, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The students said the school issued suspension notices to them.

Although public colleges are prohibited from endorsing religion, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ruled that the women can proceed with a lawsuit against Peralta Community College District.

Illston said college students have the right to pray in private outside the classroom, according to the Chronicle.

The lawsuit seeks an acknowledgment of that right and an apology, and wants all disciplinary action be rescinded, said one of the pair's lawyers, Steven Wood.

AUSTIN, Texas — A judge has granted a mother's request to have someone harvest sperm from her dead son's body, so she can have the option of carrying out his wish to have children.

Nikolas Colton Evans, 21, died Sunday at a hospital after being punched and falling outside an Austin bar March 27.

His mother, Marissa Evans, told the Austin American-Statesman newspaper that he wanted to have three sons someday and had even picked out their names: Hunter, Tod and Van.

"I want him to live on. I want to keep a piece of him," she told the newspaper.

Travis County Probate Judge Guy Herman ruled Monday in an emergency hearing requested by the mother, because of the urgency of collecting the sperm intact.
Court documents said the sperm had to be collected within 24 hours of Nikolas Evans being removed from life support unless the body was cooled to no more than 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit (4 Celsius).
Herman ordered the county medical examiner's office to continue storing the body at the proper temperature until the sperm could be collected.
