A New York City radio station that earlier mocked
tsunami victims on the air has agreed to stop its
"Smackfest" promotion, in which women slapped each
other for prizes, the state attorney general
announced.

They also agreed in a settlement to pay $240,000,
which equaled the maximum fine it faced.

The hip-hop and rhythm and blues station held 24
"Smackfest" contests from April 2004 to January 2005.
Young women took turns "violently" slapping each other
for concert tickets and as much as $5,000 in cash.

A man who left an accident scene was tracked down with
the help of some cheerleaders who witnessed the crash
and turned his license plate number into a cheer, the
Lincoln High School varsity cheerleading squad saw the
wreck near the University of Michigan campus.

"Like...I knew I was going to not remember it because
there was too much going on," Patricia Clark said."
"So, when I ran down the street and got the plate
number, I yelled to the girls: 'Remember this!'"

Gimme an E gimme an 4!

The cheerleaders put their skills to work, chanting
the license number.

"The coach just said it and we were saying it over and
over, and then it just turned into a big chant since
we kept repeating it," said Kimmie, a senior captain
for the team.

According to police reports, the cheerleaders saved
the day! They made a pyramid and the top cheerleader
jumped, flipped and landed on top of the criminal
knocking him out!

A Macedonian couple, who were traveling with their
4-year-old daughter, pulled over for gas in the
coastal city of Pesaro as they were heading back to
their home to Germany.

After filling the tank, the husband drove away --
without noticing that his 30-year-old wife had got out
of the car to go to the toilet.

The woman, who had no money or documents with her,
contacted the police who eventually traced her husband
to Milan, some 210 miles away.

The husband told police he hadn't missed his wife
because she always sat in the back of the car with
their daughter.

Knew the ride had gone smoothly and peacfully for some reason.

A Clovis family calls it a serious case of 'hospital
negligence.' A 62-year-old man was sent home from the
emergency room.

He was taken to Clovis Community Hospital but was
discharged with instructions to rest, drink fluids and
take Mylanta. That's not all he took home. The
intravenous hardware was still lodged in his hand.

The triple digit heat is causing serious problems for
some local farmers.

Growers say there isn't much they can do to protect
their crops from the sun.

Grape grower Carson Smith says a little heat is fine
for the vines, but this long heat wave is more than
the fruit can take.

The heat wave is slowing down the fruit ripening; and
in some cases, damaging the fruit.

But grapes are not the only crop to bake in the sun;
walnut growers say a walnut pest is flourishing in
this hot weather, and stressing the trees.

Cotton plants are in full bloom right now, and the
heat can damage the flowers.

The weather even impacts dairy cows; stress from the
heat is causing many to lose their appetites. That
means they process less milk.

Pot growers were too high to return my calls as to the
affects on their crops.
