WOONSOCKET, R.I. - Two mothers and their 13-year-old daughters were arrested after police say one woman drove her already suspended daughter to school to fight a teenage rival.

WASHINGTON - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg complained to a U.S. Senate committee on Tuesday that he’s vexed by pesky dinner-time phone calls from sales people — ringing him on his secure line.
Much like the Gotham police commissioner’s secure line to the “bat phone” in the 1960s “Batman” television show, the kitchen of Bloomberg’s Upper East Side townhouse has been outfitted for emergency top-secret communications.
Testifying at a Senate hearing on protecting America after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, Bloomberg was asked about New York City’s updated communications equipment that allows police, fire, health and other officials to talk to each other in a crisis.
ORLANDO, Fla. - A Walt Disney World employee dressed as the character “Tigger” was accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo, a spokeswoman for the theme park said Saturday.
Park officials temporarily suspended Michael J. Fedelem while they investigate the accusations, Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said.
“Naturally, physical altercations between cast members and guests are not tolerated,” Suarez said.
Jerry Monaco of New Hampshire videotaped his son, Jerry Jr., posing with the costumed character at Disney-MGM Studios on Friday and recorded the confrontation, according to a statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

VIENNA, Austria - Wedding jokes aren’t always funny. When a bride in Austria jokingly answered “no” instead of “yes” when asked if she wanted to marry her husband-to-be, the official performing the civil wedding promptly broke off the ceremony.
Not even the bride’s sobs could reverse the decision and the couple had to wait two and a half months before they could give it another — successful — try, the Austrian newspaper Oberoesterreichischen Nachrichten reported Friday.
Officials at the registry office in the city of Steyr where the mishap occurred declined to comment directly but noted the incident was highly unusual, according to the newspaper.
