Miami woman gets 20 years for poisoning boss to cover theftA woman received a 20-year prison sentence Thursday for putting rat poison in her boss' soda to cover up the fact that she was stealing his money. Femesha Foster, 37, was found guilty Jan. 5 of poisoning for dropping the toxic mix into optometrist Mark Caruso's drink in 2000. Caruso realized the drink tasted funny and drove himself to an emergency room, where he was treated and released. Foster, who worked as a technician for Caruso at a Wal-Mart, said she had discovered that her boss knew she had written checks from his account. Foster said she was not trying to kill him, but only send him home sick so she could have time to cover her tracks. Foster's lawyer, William Lanphear, said he would appeal the verdict and sentence. He had argued Foster was innocent because there wasn't enough rat poison in the soda to do Caruso harm. Foster is almost at the end of a five-year prison sentence for grand theft in the case. A jury convicted Foster in 2001 of attempted poisoning and grand theft, but acquitted her of attempted murder. In May, a state appeals court overturned the poisoning conviction because "attempted poisoning" is not a specific crime under Florida law. --- www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/20050120-1356-bosspoisoned.html

Parrot squawks mistress's name to man's wife
Tel Aviv - An Israeli who taught his pet parrot the name of his mistress now faces divorce - after the bird kept squawking it to his wife.
The wife grew suspicious when the parrot kept greeting her with the strange name, and hired a detective to unravel the mystery, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported on Thursday.
It said pictures taken by the detective were now being used as evidence in the divorce court, showing the husband and mistress in a compromising position - with the parrot right next to them.
The woman might not have forgiven the husband, but she forgave the pet, the report said - teaching it a new greeting. Now, whenever the husband appears, it says "hello - and goodbye". - Sapa-dpa
