11-year-old charged with driving drunk
Posted: July 14, 2007 Filed under: Howl's Moving Castle Leave a commentMIAMI (Reuters) – An 11-year-old girl was charged with drunken driving after leading police on a chase at speeds of up to 100 mph that ended when she flipped the car in an Alabama beach town.
A video camera in the police car captured the look of surprise on the officer’s face when he approached the wrecked car and got a look at the motorist.
The Mobile Press-Register newspaper said the patrolman saw the Chevrolet Monte Carlo speeding and flashed his lights to signal the driver to stop. Instead, the car sped faster, traveling at up to 100 mph (160 kph) before sideswiping another vehicle and flipping over in the Gulf Coast town of Orange Beach, Alabama, on Tuesday night.
The young driver, who lived nearby in Perdido Key, Florida, was treated at a hospital for scrapes and bruises and released to relatives. Police also charged her with speeding, leaving the scene of an accident and reckless endangerment.
The car belonged to a relative and police were still trying to find out where she got the alcohol. There was none in the vehicle but her blood alcohol level was over the limit for adult motorists, police told the newspaper.
Only One Church

I read an article on MSNBC about the Pope’s recent statement concerning the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church. He reaffirmed that Christ established only one church, and that all other Christian denominations are “ecclesial communities” without the means to salvation. An interesting quote:
“Christ ‘established here on earth’ only one church . . . [Other communities] cannot be called ‘churches’ in the proper sense” because they do not have apostolic succession — the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ’s original apostles.
I don’t know, it sounds an awful lot like they’ve got the right idea and the wrong church…

Their combined weight loss after the program was equal to Sally’s weight before the program. Jenny weight before the program was twice Peggy’s weight after the program. The combined weight of Sally, Peggy and Alice before the program was four times Peggy’s weight after the program.
