   Eli's post reminds me that I probably ought to post the backlog of   
   Anna's News Clippings anagrams, so here we go:   
      
   Let's start with a booze-head:   
   Police in Belfast, Maine, report on 27-year-old Brian Fogg, who ended   
   up in a ditch while trying to negotiate a home's long, winding   
   driveway after dropping off a friend.  When police officer Lew Dyer IV   
   came upon Fogg in the vehicle, he decided that a breathalyser test was   
   in order.  Fogg would have none of it, so he punched himself in the   
   face three times.  According to Sergeant Matthew Cook, this rendered   
   the test impossible because blood in the mouth can lead to inaccurate   
   readings.  Officers tended to Fogg's injuries and then charged him   
   with driving under the influence, falsifying physical evidence, and   
   criminal mischief.   
      
     Brian Fogg = Go barfing.   
      
      
   Not enough fluids for you? Get a load of this:   
   Local, state, and federal authorities are investigating a music   
   specialist who visited various California schools in connection with   
   the Flutes Across the World programme.  In the programme, children   
   learn to play the flute, decorate a bamboo or PVC pipe flute to be   
   given to a 'flute friend in another part of the world', and receive   
   their own flute.  Flutes are distributed with hand-written notes from   
   the maker inside, but some were found to contain something else -   
   several school districts have warned that children have received flutes   
   contaminated with the teacher's semen.   
     Parents have been advised to 'place the flute in a paper bag, not   
   a plastic one, and call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.   
   According to Sheriff's Sergeant Mike Konecny, there have been 'at   
   least one or two calls' to pick up flutes.   
      
     Flutes across the World...   
     So, flowcharts resulted.   
      
      
   If you think that's a bit grim, here's some perspective:   
   Doctors at a hospital in Nairobi were hours into a surgery for a blood   
   clot on a man's brain when they realised that they were working on the   
   wrong brain.  The man on the operating table at Kenyatta National   
   Hospital had no blood clot.  He is now recovering, regulators are   
   reeling, four staff have been suspended, and personnel from nurses to   
   the facility's CEO have resigned.  As for the person with the blood   
   clot, his condition reportedly has improved enough that he might not   
   need to undergo surgery.   
     A little over a month before, Kenya's health minister ordered an   
   investigation into claims of sexual harassment of women who had just   
   given birth at the hospital.  Also, a woman managed to kidnap a baby   
   there last month, though the child was recovered a day later.   
      
     Kenyatta National Hospital = A shot at 'annoy/kill a patient'   
     A lethal/instant pain okay to ~ Kenyatta National Hospital   
      
      
   And let's round things off by thinking of the children:   
   When children next door once again kicked a football into the   
   garden of Kelly Machin's home in Leicester, she burst the ball before   
   throwing it back over the fence.  This led to Natalie Bollen, the   
   children's 28-year-old mother, paying Machin a visit.  Bollen was   
   accompanied by her father, 48-year-old William Jelly, who began   
   punching Machin in the face.  She also suffered several broken ribs in   
   the pair's attack.  Machin, 34, rang emergency services while her   
   neighbours were still in the house, and she soon taken to hospital.   
   However, two weeks after her release, a friend found Machin dead on   
   her sofa, from undetected internal bleeding.   
     Bollen and Jelly have been found guilty of manslaughter, partially   
   thanks to text messages that Bollen sent, such as 'I went in my   
   neighbour's house and bettered her, cracked her ribs, for bursting   
   kids' ball, lol.'   
      
     Kelly Machin =   
     My chalk line...
