Cancer treatment alarm
A 69-year-old Californian man has been arrested for practising medicine without a licence at a fake cancer treatment office. The investigation began last month when a 49-year-old woman told police of the scam. The woman, who has late-stage cancer, told deputies she saw a website and decided to seek his services. He reportedly gave her plastic bags containing various powders, expired medication, and at least one bag of dirt. He told her how to mix the compounds, and said if it burned her stomach, that was good - it meant it was working. (Source: CBS)
Scooting baby disqualified
Everyone agrees 10-month-old Berkley Bailey was first to cross the line in her heat at the Pan-O-Prog baby Crawl-A-Thon in Lakeville, Minnesota. But because Berkley scoots and does not crawl in a conventional manner, she was disqualified from the race. Rules verbally announced beforehand indicated babies had to crawl on their hands and knees across the finish line. The rules were established to make the competition fair and give everyone a level playing field, said Pan-O-Prog president Diana Neameyer. Berkley's mother, Samantha Moore, said her baby had a unique way of getting around - pulling herself forward with her left side, dragging her right leg behind her and her right arm in the air. "The doctor told us it was a crawl."
