Boy, 9, Recovers After Decapitation Separates Skull From Neck
A 9-year-old Texas boy has almost fully recovered after suffering an orthopedic decapitation in a car accident 3 months ago.
Jordan Taylor had a 1-2 percent chance of surviving this type of injury, which occurred when his skull separated from his neck. His spinal cord remained intact, however.
"I just kept screaming," Jordan’s mom, Stacey "I just wanted him to wake up."
Perez was driving when a dump truck plowed into her car after running a stop sign, authorities said. Although Jordan was buckled up in the back seat, the impact was too much.
"The energy basically made his head lift up off his neck, and then move forward," said Dr. Richard Roberts of Cook Childrens’ Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, the pediatric neurosurgeon that saved Jordan’s life.
"All of the connective tissue that essentially keeps your head connected to your neck was destroyed," Roberts said.
Doctors reattached Jordan’s skull with a metal plate and titanium rods. His head was stabilized by a "halo" or carbon fiber ring that is screwed to his skull and attached to a vest.

Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know you Needed
'Ecstasy was for my dog'
Ecstasy pills 'were for dog birth control'
An Australian businessman who pleaded not guilty to possessing more than 70 ecstasy tablets told Darwin Magistrates Court he thought they were birth control pills for his dog. Steven James Dwyer, 48, pleaded guilty to possessing a trafficable amount of methamphetamine, but contested the charge of possessing an amount of ecstasy tablets, saying he thought the pills would stop his pet sharpeis from breeding.He was found guilty and convicted on both charges - magistrate Vince Luppino adding he did not find the excuse for having a trafficable amount of ecstasy "reasonable". Dwyer told the court the ecstasy tablets - MDMA - had come into his hands when he was outside a Katherine Laundromat, after he met a man with a female sharpei dog.

You know -- one where you don't go to work, then you're allowed to resign. Then you still get a fat pension.
Consider this latest outrage.
First, officials found that three detectives with Tampa's Police Department were someplace else, including at home, when they were supposed to be on duty.
How'd they know?
They put GPS devices in their cars.
The detectives could face criminal charges for getting taxpayer money for work they didn't do, but a source says because they resigned instead of being fired, the state attorney's office won't file a case against them.And because the detectives weren't fired, they'll get their pensions.
Two of the detectives, making $83,969 a year, will collect $52,864 and $55,633 respectively for the rest of their lives.
The third detective, making $80,433, will get a yearly check for $44,644.
The detectives also were in a tax-payer funded retirement plan.
The plan allows them to receive one-time payments between $48,455 to $222,534 as part of their separation package.
Is it just us or does this seem downright criminal?

DUI suspect: 'I just did cardio and my hips hurt'
Nice try. But, no, the cop didn't buy it.
After a Crestview cop stopped a man driving badly, the dude tried to weasle out of the sobriety test.
"....I will tell you I just did cardio and my hips hurt," the man answered,
Later, during the one-leg stand, the man said he would be unable to stand on one leg because he was too cold and had arthritis in both knees.
"Look, I will call someone to pick me up, someone who is sober, then we can forget all this happened," the driver suggested to the officer.
Not an option, the cop said.
Instead, the driver was charged with DUI and went to jail.
A passenger in the car slept through the entire ordeal.
Musta been some cardio that duo was doing.

Driver banned for having a untidy car
Police have banned a woman’s car from the road - for being too untidy.The Vauxhall Astra was so full of junk, magazines, old clothes and even bits of furniture that they could barely see the driver at it roared down a motorway in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The driver - who has not been named by police - has been banned from taking the car on the road again until it has passed a tidiness test.
Police said the car was so full of junk the woman's face was pressed up against the front window as she drove.
"I'm sure this will make most people feel a lot better about leaving the odd sweet wrapper lying around in their car," joked one police source.
