A Wyoming County man who says he is constantly worried about his health after finding a condom in his iced tea glass last Mother's Day is now suing the Shoney's restaurant in Logan and the company that operates it.

The anti-government sit-ins in Beirut by pro-Hezbollah supporters have resulted in a marketing coup for the designer of a new perfume named "Resistance." Although the perfume is being marketed to protesters - as a way to smell fresh no matter how long they have been camped out without a shower in Lebanon's capital city - it is also selling briskly in Lebanon's stores as well as in other countries.

Ali Aaqil Khalil, who invented Resistance perfume, is not a member of Hezbollah and the perfume is neither endorsed or opposed by the militant group.

Thousands of Parisians gathered for a smooch on Thursday to try to break the world kissing record, but they weren't able to do so.

The event took place at La Defense, a modernist business park on the west edge of Paris.

A uniformed agent from the Department of Sanitation was caught red-handed on a videotape breaking light bulbs in front of a restaurant and thereafter writing a $300 littering ticket to the restaurant's owner. The incident happened on Oct.19, when a surveillance camera at the H.K. Tea and Sushi restaurant caught the agent dropping several long fluorescent bulbs in front of the restaurant.

William Colton, a State Assemblyman and representative of the neighborhood, said he was furious that the Department of Sanitation would target store owners with bogus tickets.
