			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Detroit woman&#8217;s life may have been                                         saved by her bra after it deflected a                                         bullet.</p>
<p>Police say she was looking out of her                                         window when one of three burglars                                         raiding a neighbour&#8217;s home fired the                                         shot.</p>
<p>The bullet smashed through her window                                         pane before hitting the bra&#8217;s underwire                                         &#8211; but it didn&#8217;t penetrate her skin.</p>
<p>The 57-year-old woman, who was not                                         identified, was treated at a nearby                                         hospital, reports Metro.</p>
<p>Detroit police Officer Leon Rahmaan                                         said: &#8220;It did slow the bullet down.                                         She sustained injuries but they&#8217;re not                                         life threatening.&#8221;</p>
<p>Police believe she went to the window                                         after hearing the burglar alarm at the                                         house next door. The burglars drove off                                         after the shooting</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Scottish police officer has confessed to following the Jedi faith beloved of Star Wars film fans.</p>
<p>Pam Fleming, a 45-year-old beat officer in Glasgow for Strathclyde Police, said that she thought all police officers &#8220;should be Jedis,&#8221; when interviewed by Jane&#8217;s Police Review.</p>
<p>&#8220;For me, it is not a joke,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Being a Jedi is a way of life. I love the Star Wars films and the concept of being a Jedi, that the faith is not divisive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ms Fleming said she knew of other Jedis in Strathclyde Police &#8211; the force apparently has eight in total, according to a recent survey.</p>
<p>She told The Sun she uses Jedi mind tricks to get the truth out of suspects during interviews.</p>
<p>However, Ms Fleming said she does not use her powers to influence what suspects say or do.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have even started calling my probationer as a joke my Padawan (Jedi apprentice),&#8221; she said, &#8220;although I am not sure he likes that.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Britain&#8217;s Office for National Statistics, a total of 390,000 people in England and Wales listed their religion as Jedi in the most recent census in 2001.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cheese made with breast milk has been served at the launch of a new art                                         exhibition in London.</p>
<p>Mexican artist Raul Ortega Ayala named                                         the show &#8220;Alejandra Ortiz-Reynoso&#8221;,                                         after the woman who donated the milk,                                         the Daily Express reported.</p>
<p>The cheese is designed to &#8220;explore                                         our first encounter with food,                                         emphasising its territoriality and                                         boundaries&#8221;, according to the                                         artist.</p>
<p>A spokeswoman said: &#8220;He makes the                                         cheese in the normal way &#8211; it&#8217;s just a                                         standard process.</p>
<p>&#8220;The women donate the milk to him                                         voluntarily.&#8221;</p>
<p>The cheese was served simply, with a                                         more traditional accompaniment of                                         crackers.</p>
<p>Ayala&#8217;s next work, &#8220;Obituary                                         Menus&#8221;, will recreate the food                                         which presidents, public figures, mass                                         murderers and cavemen ate before they                                         died.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A desperate husband tried to kill his mother-in-law with an anti-tank missile launcher after claiming she&#8217;d turned his wife against him.</p>
<p>Bosnian Miroslav Miljici wanted revenge after blaming his wife&#8217;s mum for the break-up of his marriage.</p>
<p>And when his mother-in-law survived the rocket attack on her home, he tried to finish her off with a machine gun, a court in Doboj, Bosnia, was told.</p>
<p>Amazingly, she survived both attacks with barely a scratch, judges heard.</p>
<p>In defence Miljici &#8211; jailed for six years for attempted murder &#8211; told the court he could no longer take his mother-in-law&#8217;s nagging.</p>
