courtesy Sarasota County Sheriff's Dept.What's more fun for a seven-year-old than joy riding behind Grandpa and Grandma's SUV with nothing between you and the wind but a bathing suit? Probably not much, until the police arrest them for driving under the influence and felony child cruelty.

After being pulled over by a sheriff's deputy in Sarasota, Florida on April 28, 47-year old grandmother Belinda Jean Berloni acknowledged that towing her grand daughter's Hot Wheels behind an SUV "was dangerous" but "they were just having fun and had been doing this all day." The plastic toy car was tethered to the back of the truck with a couple of dog leashes.

According to a Sarasota County sheriff's report published on thesmokinggun.com, Grandpa, Paul Berloni, 49, had less to say since his since his speech was reportedly "slowed and slurred with booze." The deputy noted a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming off his person." Berloni did admit to the arresting officer that he couldn't provide a license or registration as

UPDATE: According to the blog averycan.blogspot.com, baby Avery Lynn Canahuati passed away yesterday, April 30, 2012. Her dad wrote: "Hello everyone this is Avery's father.  Avery passed away yesterday sometime around 3pm due to pulmonary complications related to SMA.  In short, one of her lungs collapsed and she went into cardiac arrest.  I immediately performed CPR on her and was able to bring her back to life, but only for a brief period of time before she passed away shortly after arriving at the hospital.  Avery's passing this quickly came as a complete shock to all of us, as she had just been given a thumbs up at her last doctors appointment only three days ago. While we were aware of the severity of her diagnosis, we never lost hope for Avery and even in her passing, we still have hope for our daughter and all of her friends."

Last weekend, five-month-old Avery's blog went viral. She had been diagnosed with and incurable genetic disorder called spinal muscular

The ultimate revenge? Marek Olszewski must have had a really bad toothache to call up his dentist ex-girlfriend for treatment. Hadn't he heard the old expression, "Hell hath no extraction tools like a woman scorned"?

"I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions," Anna Mackoviak, who works in Wroclaw, Poland, told the Daily Mail, "But when I saw him lying there I just thought, "What a bastard."

The jilted dentist allegedly proceeded to knock him out with massive dose of anesthetic and remove every one of Olszewski's teeth. "I knew something was wrong because when I woke up, I couldn't feel any teeth and my jaw was strapped with bandages." On top of that, his new girlfriend, for whom he left Mackoviak, has broken up with him for being toothless.

Mackoviak faces a possible three years in prison for malpractice.

UPDATE: According to a report by Yahoo! News, this widely reported story is a hoax uncovered by MSNBC. As blogger Ron Recinto says, "The only thing pulled was our leg."

Color advantage? At a youth soccer game recently, I noticed that the kids in black uniforms looked more intimidating than those wearing light blue. It turns out this gut reaction may have a basis in science, but surprisingly, not in favor of the team you might think.

A new study published in the latest Journal of Social Psychology and Personality Science shows that National Hockey League (NHL) teams who wear darker colors, especially black, are viewed as more being more aggressive. Consequently, they end up being penalized at a higher rate than their opponents.

Lead author of the study, Gregory Webster of the University of Florida, Gainesville, analyzed about 50,000 NHL games that were played over the last 25 years. "Teams that wore black jerseys were penalized more, significantly more, than teams wearing other colored jerseys," he told National Public Radio.

Are facials worth it? How many times have you read that some glowing starlet "swears by" her facialist? But are facials really worth the money?

A recent article in the Daily Mail claims that some facials can actually ruin your skin. They interviewed former model, Sophie Anderton, who said that micro-dermabrasion and chemical peels left her with lines, acne, and dark pigmentation spots.

Yahoo! Shine spoke with Dr. Patricia Farris, Clinical Associate Professor at Tulane University and spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology, about how safe and effective facials really are. "If you are seeing a licensed aesthetician, most facials are not that aggressive and are a 'do no harm' procedure," she told Shine. "I don't see a lot of problems after a garden variety spa treatment."

Where women run into trouble is when they follow a micro-dermabrasion procedure immediately by a heavy chemical peel, a combination that may have triggered Anderton's problems. "That's when people come whimpering

Are your cleaning products hazardous? Most people think of house cleaning as a way to make their living environment safer and healthier, but according to the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) just-released "Cleaners Hall of Shame," many common products contain chemicals that can "inflict serious harm on unwary users."

Consumers often assume that the cleaning products industry is strongly regulated by the government, but EWG Senior Analyst Nneka Leiba tells Yahoo! Shine that this is a misconception. "Most hazardous ingredients are legal and many are unlabeled." These include toxic compounds such as formaldehyde that are banned in other countries and are known to or suspected of causing cancer, blindness, asthma, burns, and other afflictions. There is also little information on how the hundreds of chemicals we are exposed to react together and what their cumulative effects on the body are.
