BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — A car thief who found a toddler in the backseat of a stolen vehicle drove back and chastised the mother for leaving the child unattended before taking off again, police in Oregon said. The woman went into a grocery store about 15 feet (5 yards) from the car Saturday, leaving her 4-year-old child inside with the engine running and the vehicle unlocked, said Beaverton police spokesman Officer Matt Henderson. A store employee told authorities the woman was in the market for a few minutes before someone began driving away with the SUV. Once the thief realized the toddler was in the backseat, he drove back, berated the woman for leaving her child unattended, told the woman to take the child and drove away in the stolen vehicle. “He actually lectured the mother for leaving the child in the car and threatened to call the police on her,” Henderson said. Henderson said the woman did nothing wrong and was within sight and sound of the child. He said the incident...

PARIS (AP) — Frenchwoman Jeanne Pouchain has an unusual problem. She’s officially dead. She has been trying for three years to prove that she is alive. The 58-year-old woman says she lives in constant fear, not daring to leave her house in the village of Saint Joseph, in the Loire region. Authorities seized her car over an unpaid debt she contests and which is at the center of her troubles. She fears the family furniture will be next. Pouchain’s status has prevented her and her husband, who is her legal beneficiary along with her son, from using their joint bank account. Being declared deceased has deprived her of other critical amenities. “I no longer exist,” Pouchain said by telephone. “I don’t do anything….I sit on the veranda and write.” She called the situation “macabre.” Pouchain’s status as deceased is the result of a 2017 Lyon court decision that deemed her dead even though no death certificate was produced. The decision came at the end of a legal dispute with an...

The mental health of Americans is the worst it's been in the last two decades, and the demand for mental healthcare is at an all-time high. As psychiatrists and frontline workers in this mental health crisis, we have a tremendous collective responsibility. But the physical toll and emotional nature of our work has left many of us struggling with pandemic-era burnout. In order to help others and reduce the stigma around mental illness, we need to lead by example by being more open about our own challenges and help ourselves first. Also, I would be remiss if I didn't address the practical steps that can be taken by employers, whether that's a hospital or private practice, to support mental health workers by cutting back on time spent on tasks outside of helping patients like administrative work. Physicians die by suicide at twice the rate of any other profession, with roughly one doctor dying every day. The lack of time for self care and the stigma around seeking help — deepened...

Fischbacher died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. His death comes eight months after Horn died due to COVID-19 on May 8, 2020. Horn was 75.

The pair started performing at the Mirage hotel in 1989, selling out almost nightly in what was formerly the largest hotel in Las Vegas. Fischbacher and Horn first met on a cruise ship, where Horn was working as a steward and Fischbacher as an entertainer. Horn smuggled his pet cheetah aboard the ship and asked Fischbacher if he knew how to make one disappear. Fischbacher...
