It’s one of the Ten Commandments, but one Cobb County woman may not have realized that.

Thou shall not steal. But the 23-year-old allegedly did.

Ashley Chacori Fleming, of Powder Springs, was caught stealing a Bible from a book store, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Fleming was arrested Friday afternoon at the Barnes & Noble near Cumberland Mall and charged with misdemeanor shoplifting, Cobb County jail records show.

A radioactive “pizza” which was once delivered to the Italian embassy has made its way home to west Cumbria.

The ‘Pizza Cumbriana’

The so-called Pizza Cumbriana was created eight years ago by Core (Cumbrians Opposed to a Radioactive Environment), to highlight their concerns about plans by Italy to ship more irradiated (spent) fuel to Sellafield for reprocessing.

The concerns included pollution, health risks and plutonium and nuclear waste stockpiles in the UK.

To illustrate the environmental damage caused by such trade, Core presented the embassy with a unique West Cumbrian “pizza”, complete with a topping of mud and seaweed collected from a public footpath crossing the River Esk estuary.

An analysis of the material by the University of Manchester had shown the topping to contain levels of radioactivity that would be illegal in Italy and which, in the UK, would classify it as Low Level Waste (LLW).

The condemned pizza was swiftly removed by the Environment Agency and has languished ever since with other LLW at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Didcot, Oxford. Now it has been finally transported by road to its rightful resting place to the Low Level Waste disposal facility at Drigg.

NEENAH — When Ken Zwick and Carol Hollar-Zwick bought their Neenah home in 1999, they knew the backyard contained an underground fallout shelter built during the height of the Cold War.

What they didn’t know — and wouldn’t discover until they ventured into the shelter more than a decade later — was the bunker was fully stocked with food and survival supplies from 1960 by the previous homeowner.

“We assumed it was just this empty space,” Hollar-Zwick said.

When the Zwicks unlocked the heavy, metal hatch, they found watertight Army surplus boxes floating in 5 feet of water that had seeped into the shelter. The contents of the boxes, though, were in pristine condition

In the time-honored legal tradition of punny, snarky, and sassy judicial rulings, a federal judge in Texas has shown us once and for all what a law school degree will allow you to accomplish. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery issued a ruling on April 29 bursting with double entendres in a case involving San Antonio strip clubs. The ruling titillated readers and aroused their interest, but ultimately left the strip clubs unsatisfied.

A city ordinance in San Antonio requires exotic dancers to wear bikini tops, rather than just pasties, to cover their nipples. Strip clubs requested a preliminary injunction to block enforcement so they could keep having their wild nights without facing the consequences.

The judge called the case The Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Bikini Top V. the (More) Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pastie, and said that the issue had “once again fallen into the court’s lap.” In Judge Biery’s words, “Plaintiffs clothe themselves in the First Amendment seeking to provide cover against another alleged naked grab of unconstitutional power.”

TULSA - What does serial killer Ted Bundy have to do with geometry?

That's what one Tulsa mother wants to know.

When Christina Mattaliano looked over her son's geometry homework Monday, she got quite a surprise when she came across a couple of questions on two hand-written assignments.

Bundy, along with another man who likes to spy on his neighbors, were used as examples in two questions.

"I was shocked," said Mattaliano.

The principal at Nathan Hale High School, Caleb Starr, confirms the assignments were created by a male substitute teacher.

The question that references Bundy asks students to measure his ladder.

"Serial killer Ted Bundy has a 20-foot ladder leaning against his favorite tree. The ladder makes a 64-degree angle with the ground. What distance up the tree does the ladder reach?"

Conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, the National Pet Obesity Awareness Day Survey found that 58 percent of cats were reported to be overweight or obese by their veterinarians. That’s up 5 percent from the group’s 2010 survey.

The research also found that 53 percent of dogs are overweight or obese.

“Pet obesity remains the leading health threat to our nation’s pets,” said APOP founder and dvm360 contributor Ernie Ward, DVM. “We continue to see an escalation in the number of overweight cats and an explosion in the number of type 2 diabetes cases.”

Hong Kong (CNN) -- Hong Kong's busy harbor is never short of action, but the great big yellow duck that floated into town on Thursday captured the city's attention.

Thousands lined the harbor front and work ground to a halt in offices with sea views as the much-hyped 'Rubber Duck' made its grand entrance. For two weeks local media has been on something of a "duck watch," closely monitoring the movements of the 16.5-meter (54 feet) inflatable sculpture.

The man behind the seriously over-sized bath toy, Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, described the Hong Kong response as overwhelming and said he was happy to have finally made it to the city, his first visit.

"I've wanted to come for years -- and my duck made it here before me!" he quipped.

The Mr. Ding-A-Ling truck hadn't been rolling through the streets here for more than a week before Joshua Malatino made his message clear: There ain't enough Fudgsicles in this city for the both of us.

Malatino, who owns the homegrown Sno Cone Joe franchise, had threatened rival ice cream trucks before, but police said he went too far earlier this month. It began with threats and taunts.

"You don't have a chance!" Malatino yelled to the 53-year-old Mr. Ding-a-Ling driver on one of his first days in Gloversville, according to court documents. "This is my town!"

Soon, police said, Malatino, 34, and his girlfriend, Amanda Scott, 21, were shadowing the rival driver across quiet city streets, blaring their jingles and trying to pry his customers away.

SHE is the Queen of Pop with barmy backstage needs to match her superstar status.

Beyoncé’s diva demands include £600 drinking straws and hand-carved ice balls to suck on.

The 31-year-old, who has sold over 118 million records worldwide is married to top rapper Jay-Z, 43, and is currently on her Mrs Carter Show World Tour.

An insider claims her backstage rider insists that her crew wear only 100% pure cotton clothes, presumably to save her from allergic reactions.

She’s also said to ask for special titanium straws which are used to drink a special alkaline water that’s served at exactly 21 degrees.

She also demands her dressing room has freshly painted white walls and a new toilet seat, and even makes it clear that she will only use red toilet paper.

St. Cloud police are investigating a Monticello man who claimed to be Pink Floyd band member David Gilmour while racking up a care bill as high as $100,000 at St. Cloud Hospital.

The man even signed an autograph for a hospital employee’s son before he was arrested by St. Cloud police. No charges have been filed against Phillip Michael Schaeffer, 53, who was booked April 24 at the Stearns County Jail for investigation of felony theft by swindle.

Schaeffer came to St. Cloud Hospital on April 20 for treatment and gave the name David Gilmour when he checked in, according to St. Cloud police. He claimed to not have any health insurance and was treated and released.

After he left, hospital employees had suspicions that he wasn’t really the Pink Floyd singer-guitarist. That suspicion led to the hospital flagging his patient chart in case he returned, hospital spokeswoman Jeanine Nistler said.
