SYDNEY, Australia — Opera diva Dame Kiri Te Kanawa prevailed Wednesday in a lawsuit that sought damages from her because she had canceled appearances with an Australian pop singer after learning women threw their underwear at him on stage.

The New South Wales state Supreme Court dismissed the $1.5 million suit, brought by promotion company Leading Edge after planned concerts in 2005 with John Farnham, 57, known in Australia as "The Voice," fell through.

Judge Patricia Bergin found there was no binding contract but ordered Te Kanawa's company to pay $102,000 in costs.

Perhaps it?s Victoria?s secret. Not that any regular-sized woman can?t fit into their clothes, but that store thieves go unpunished by the famous lingerie chain, according to Daly City police officials.

On March 16, a store manager reported at 5:15 p.m. that 150 pairs of panties worth $1,125 collectively were stolen from a drawer in the store.

But the reporting of the incident is generally where it ends for Victoria?s Secret, according to Daly City police. If the police do catch somebody, the company generally just wants its merchandise back and is done with the process without pressing charges, Daly City police said.

CANONSBURG - Terry Bard ran outside in his underwear Wednesday morning to retrieve an almost-naked toddler who wandered into a pen where his dog sleeps.

It was below freezing when he plucked the 2-year-old boy from the straw-laden pen at his home at 115 Oak Spring Road around 8:30 a.m.

Bard said he looked out the window to see his dog, R.C., lying on top of the child to keep him warm.

Chris Rock's direction of "I Think I Love My Wife" isn't especially noteworthy. His screenwriting (with comedian Louis C.K.) is all over the map.

It's really only the casting that's on the money in this comedy based on Eric Rohmer's "Chloe in the Afternoon." Especially Rock's casting of himself as Richard Cooper, a married investment banker with an ogling problem.

Richard loves his schoolteacher wife, Brenda (Gina Torres), and two kids. But life in the suburbs sometimes bores him. It doesn't help that Brenda is more interested in home decorating than sex.

St. Petersburg, Florida-- For sophomore Darryl Hines, walking home from school requires extra caution, ever since two of his classmates from Lakewood High School were sexually assaulted in separate incidents, back in September.Darryl Hines, Lakewood High School Sophomore:“I worry about it a lot. Sometimes I couldn’t sleep at night knowing he’s in our area.”

Hines says for the past six months, many days he’d search on the ground for a sharp rock to carry as a weapon while walking.Darryl Hines, Lakewood High School Sophomore :“I take it and carry it on the side of my waist. And I hold it in my hand real tight just in case someone comes behind me and I could poke them and make a quick get away.”

Then came a third assault Tuesday, an 18 year old student attacked from behind near the intersection 62nd Avenue and 22nd Street South. This time, police were able to make an arrest after they say a maintenance worker who witnessed what happened caught the attacker with the help of several others. 19 year old Travonti DeBose was taken into custody. He’s accused of pulling the victim’s pants down and putting his hand into the teen’s underwear.Trevor Burke, High School Freshman:&...

A Tennessee state senator sponsoring legislation that would ban late-night TV ads showing half-naked young women says he's working on language he hopes his colleagues will support to move the bill through the legislature.

The measure sponsored by Sen. Doug Jackson, D-Dickson, would fine cable companies up to $50,000 for airing ads for obscene products.

Jackson said he got the idea after seeing partially censored commercials for Girls Gone Wild videos that show young women baring their breasts and acting out other sexual situations.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - We're going to talk about periods. Periods as in Aunt Ruby, the Monthly Thing, the Curse, Code Red, the Scarlet Seven, or just plain old menstruation, as your health teacher called it.

And we're going to talk about the products women use to deal with it, like the pads and tampons your mom used, and the cups and sponges she's probably never heard of.

Most women who've been menstruating for a while have a routine - there's a brand they rely on, a certain winged pad, a favored tampon absorbency. They have confidence in their products and see no reason to change.

DALLAS - When an inmate at a state juvenile prison complained of an administrator's sexual advances, swift and merciless punishment followed: The teenager was thrown into an isolation cell "and put in shackles for over 13 hours," a Texas Rangers report revealed.

That 2004 incident at the West Texas State School, however extreme, embodies the culture of retaliation that permeates the Texas Youth Commission. It's an agency where fear and intimidation rule, inmates and employees have told The Dallas Morning News.

As lawmakers and the governor dismantle and investigate the scandal-wracked agency that runs the state's juvenile prisons, bitter inmates and employees emerge with accounts of institutionalized vengeance. Retributive violence against youth is ignored or covered up, they say. Incident reports, logbook pages, photographs and other evidence of abuse disappear.

The New Zealand soprano pulled out of a series of concerts with Australian rock singer John Farnham in 2005 after watching a DVD in which female fans threw underwear at him on stage.

The promoter of the concert sued Dame Kiri in the New South Wales Supreme Court, claiming A$2 million (US$1.6 million) in damages for breaching her contract.

During the case, Dame Kiri told the court that she was embarrassed by the underwear throwing and found it offensive that Farnham collected them as "some sort of trophy."

Today snowshoes are used mostly for recreation. There are snowshoe trails in all of the Western states offering trips of as little as 1 mile and as long as 10 miles.

For example, in Washington, the Gold Creek SnoPark is located 1 mile north of I-90's Exit 54 at the north end of Keechelus Lake. The park is at an elevation of 2,560 feet and has 200 spaces. There is a dog sled area, trails for snowshoers and a family snow play area. A family could spend several hours participating in different winter sports on the same day.

In California, the Meeks Creek Cross-Country Ski Trail is considered an easy trail beginning at 6,250-foot elevation. The length of the loop is 3.5 miles. Although this is a ski trail, snowshoeing is permitted.

As FCAT winds down (or wraps up, depending on whether you're down on tests or up on them) for the season, I can only imagine some ridiculous, and/or desperate, answers that popped into students' minds as they beheld confounding questions.

And I can identify with them, even as I still try to emerge from my cocoon of a 12-year-old's maturity level into the butterfly existence of a fiftysomething. OK, so it was a lifetime ago when I was sweating over the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, which I don't think we should have had to take in Nebraska. That also was eons before No Child Left Behind, but I'd have liked to have been left behind instead of taking that battery of tests.

On the other hand, it wasn't all that long ago that I was puzzling over a few names on the people identification section of my copy-editing test. And I recall some smart-aleck answers I gave to questions I couldn't fathom, although I can't repeat them here. Smart-alecky answers are a braggadocial way to obfuscate one's ignorance, or to try to project a confident, humorous, persona to win over others.

ON THE surface, Ron Saxen's rise from chunky teen to hunky male model was the stuff of dreams. But the story Saxen uncovers in his just-published memoir, "The Good Eater," (New Harbinger, $24.95) is something quite different — a tale of binge eating and starvation diets that nearly ruined him.

It's hard to believe this former model, stand-up comic and cigar and candy salesman spent more than a decade battling 15,000-calorie binges with crystal meth, drastic diets and exercise regimens so obsessive that he spent four hours a day running, weightifting or swimming.

Spring is just days away, with signs of the seasonal change all around us. Nature certainly is doing its part around town; the hills have finally turned a lush, lovely green and the trees are covered with blossoms. Dark, heavy jackets are being replaced with lighter garments; local merchants have set out bright spring flowers for us to add to our gardens, and with daylight-saving time, more residents are out taking evening strolls.

Even without these obvious changes, I'd know the season is about to shift, because the temperature complaints that fly around my daily conversations now have different sources. I should explain. My two closest friends have very different internal thermostats. One friend hates cold weather, delighting in triple digit temperature readings. Our perspectives are quite different.
