• Eight overweight Texan women reported a dismissive attitude from medical workers, small gowns and small blood pressure cuffs as reasons they are ambivalent to going to the doctor's office. • A 73-year-old British man who previously held the world record for most tattoos (he has full-body leopard spots) has moved away from his remote hut on the Scottish coastline because he's getting too old to canoe to the nearest town. • The FBI announced today that a three-day, nationwide operation that began on Thursday freed 47 U.S. teens from forced prostitution and led to the arrests of hundreds of other people. • A Court of Appeals ruling in the UK that allows trial judges to tell jurors that a rape victim delayed reporting a rape because they felt "shame and guilt" may increase the number of rape convictions. • An all-female Dalit community radio station in India has been steadily gaining listeners and praise since the station first opened nearly two weeks ago. • Wanderlust and The Girls' Guide to India are two travel books that are geared towards the female tourist traveling in India. • A female robber has hit three Columbus-area banks in Ohio in the past week, a rare feat particularly for a female thief. •
