ODD NEWS Young girl saves mother, avoids car accident
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Emily Lineberger missed her gymnastics class this week, but thanks to the 11-year-old's heroes, and her mother survived what could have been a tragic car wreck.
Emily was riding in the back seat of the family car Tuesday when her mother, Dayna Lineberger, started feeling light-headed. Ulcerative colitis had caused Lineberger to feel faint before, so she decided to get food at a nearby restaurant.
"Then it just hit me," said Lineberger, 40. "The last thing I remember is screaming to her, Tell me where to turn, because I couldn't see."
While heading into the restaurant parking lot, Lineberger's head rolled back and she passed out. Emily said.
She leaned forward and grabbed the wheel. Her mother's foot was still on the gas pedal, but Emily steered to avoid a car before their car hit a telephone pole and stopped — unharmed

Kansas City, Mo., senior "It could be better, but I don't know how to fix the problem. The blocking getting into campus, is pretty hardcore. I had a meeting at the library one time and I had to park off campus and walk a long way because campus was blocked off
and walking is for suckers."

"its not good if you have classes going on, because I've had night classes where it is hard to park because of the game, which is expected if you are at the game, but it creates a problem if you have other things to do on campus."

Dead shark found in freshwater river
LINZ, Austria — Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water — well, it is, actually.
A mystery triggered this week by the bizarre discovery of the carcass of a 3-foot-long shark in a freshwater river in northern Austria ended Saturday when a man confessed he had put it there as a joke.
The prankster, an apprentice chef working at a hotel in the province of Upper Austria, told the newspaper Oesterreich that he put the dead shark in the river Voekckia after it began to smell while he was thawing it out for a buffet. The discovery earlier this week caused a stir, with Austrian experts hard-pressed to explain what a shark was doing in a freshwater river in the landlocked alpine country.
Thieves break into church; return items next night
HUNTINGTON, WVA. — Burglar who stole thousands of dollars of equipment from the Guyandotte United Methodist Church apparently had a change of heart, breaking in the following night to return what they stole. The thieves stole about $5,000 worth of sound and office equipment, church treasurer Rocky Fraizer said.
"They taketh and the Lord giveth back," Frazier said Friday. "It's like there's a higher power at work."
The only thing not returned was $22 in change.
