That wraps up another Thursday and Friday is within reach now! Make sure to tune in tomorrow for more Carolina Country Cruizin' with Matt and Dee in the Morning! 

A six-year-old Virginia girl fought back an attacker and showed him who was boss.  Police in Prince William County say the incident took place two days ago in front of her home when a woman opened her garage door, buckled the child in and then went to her mailbox.  That's when a man jumped into the car but didn't stay there for long as the girl kicked and pinched him until he ran off.  The mother heard the child screaming and ran back to the car.  Nobody was hurt but the guy did get away.

Woman Declared Dead, Still Breathing in Morgue

Judith Johnson went to the Beebe Medical Center in Lewes, Delaware for what she thought was a bad case of indigestion.

An hour after being admitted, the hospital told Johnson’s husband his wife was dead, Wilmington's News Journal reported Tuesday.

When someone at the morgue noticed Johnson’s “corpse” was still breathing, Louis Johnson learned his wife was very much alive.

The Johnsons are now suing the hospital and medical staff for compensatory and punitive damages.

“She is brain injured, but can walk and talk,” the Johnson’s attorney, Dr. Leon Aussprung told The News Journal.

Judith Johnson, 61, of Georgetown, Del., was actually having a heart attack when she arrived at the hospital in May 2007. Less than 45 minutes after she arrived, she went into cardiac arrest.

She was given "multiple medicines and synchronized shocks," according to emergency room records, which also indicate she was not given supplemental oxygen. The records also say she "never regained a pulse," and was declared dead at 8:34 p.m.

Johnson now suffers from liver damage, chest pain, memory loss, speech problems, and a change in personality, seizures, and permanent neurological injury as a result of the care she received at Beebe Medical Center, according to the lawsuit.

Beebe medical officials did not directly comment on the lawsuit.

“The situation that you described, while rare, is not unheard of,” said Wallace Hudson, Beebe’s vice president of corporate affairs. “It is called spontaneous return of circulation, otherwise known as ‘Lazarus syndrome. Medical literature points out that since 1982, there have been at least 25 reported cases of survival after failed resuscitation.”

Kenny Chesney has a lot to be happy about -- he's got tons of awards, sold-out shows and a steady stream of hits. But he admits that fame doesn't necessarily buy happiness. Kenny says one of the darkest periods of his life came during his break-up with actress Renee Zellweger a few years ago. He tells us, "If you're not in the right place in your heart and in your head, it doesn't matter how much money you've got, you're miserable." Kenny's new C-D, Lucky Old Sun, comes out on October 21st. 

Taylor Swift is pretty much an open book when it comes to her music, but there are a few things that most people don't know about her. She comes clean to O-K! magazine that she wears glasses -- big, round, bifocally-looking glasses that she bought because she felt sorry for them. She explains, "They're the pair of glasses that nobody was going to buy. They were really dusty and nobody wanted them. I felt bad for them, and I wear them everywhere. I bought them and gave them a nice home. I love them." Taylor, who is on tour with Rascal Flatts, will be in Green Bay, Wisconsin tonight. 

Clay Walker raised over $25,000 for Multiple Sclerosis research as part of his inaugural charity bike ride. The “Bike to Jack & Back” ride for MS took place last weekend. Hundreds of riders pedaled 75 miles, from Franklin to Lynchburg, Tennessee, home of the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. They biked back the next day. Walker was diagnosed with MS in 1996.

LeAnn Rimes has postponed two concerts originally scheduled for this weekend after her doctor ordered additional vocal rest. Rimes was scheduled to play in Norfolk, Virginia, tomorrow, and in Charleston, West Virginia, on Saturday. Her tour schedule is set to resume October 17th in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Rimes has canceled several concerts due to vocal illness this year, including two shows in May, two in August and two in September.

A mouse in Taiwan is still alive because it fought back.  Hong Kong newspaper "Apple Daily" reports firefighters captured a 14-inch-long snake and put it in a cage.  Later, they decided to feed the viper some lunch.  The firemen placed a mouse in the cage and were surprised at what happened next.  A spokesman said the mouse attacked the snake, biting and clawing at it.  Within 30 minutes, the snake was dead.  One fireman said of the snake, quote, "perhaps it was a novice predator."

If there’s one thing Christine Downs has it’s determination. The 24-year-old woman from Dover, New Hampshire, interrogated police and filed motions as she represented herself at trial last year to contest a $100 ticket. She also prepared a list of 96 questions to fire off at officials. She lost, but decided to appeal to the state Supreme Court. Downs said police failed to respond to her request for engineering studies used to calculate the speed limit on the road where she was ticketed in May 2007 for driving 44 in a 25 mph zone. On Wednesday, she lost again. The high court concluded that Downs “did not overcome the presumption that the posted speed limit was valid” and that the district court did not err in its finding of her guilt.

The current financial crisis appears to be affecting women more than men.  According to the 2008 Stress In America survey by the American Psychological Association, it's females 44 and older who are most likely to list the economy as a significant stress factor in their lives.  But it's not just the older ladies who are stressed by economic issues.  In general, the survey found women rank financial worries above personal health concerns.  Nearly 90-percent of females between the ages of 30 and 43 expressed concerns about money matters, while three-quarters of adult women under the age of 30 cite housing costs as their biggest worry.  Nearly half of all the survey respondents said they're worried about their ability to support their families, and eight out of ten admit the economy is a significant cause of their stress -- a 14-percent increase over figures from just six months ago.

When Glen Teschner's 12-year-old stepdaughter was late arriving home from the school bus earlier this week, he and his wife began to worry. When Campbell Middle School seventh-grader Hannah Westerbelt finally got home and told her parents the "bus driver tried to kill" her and 54 other children on the bus, the Teschners' jaws dropped. Teschner says, "She said the bus driver had stopped the bus on the railroad tracks and threatened to leave all the children there to die. She lost it." Volusia County Schools spokeswoman Nancy Wait said the incident is under investigation by the school district's Office of Professional Standards. She said the driver, whose name she would not release because the claim is under investigation, has been placed in another job within the transportation division, "away from children."

Sara Evans is encouraging people to eat together as families.  She says that when she was a kid everyone gathered at the table each night for dinner, a practice she believes has, quote, "kind of gotten lost."  The singer admits it's not easy to bring the whole family together for a meal, but notes it's important enough to her to make the effort. Evans has also been working with Libby's Vegetables to help others establish the family meal practice.  The Get Back to the Table promotion includes a contest in which people share how they get their family members together for meals.  The winner will get to join Evans' family for a meal backstage at one of the singer's upcoming concerts.  The contest runs through December 15th.  Details are available online at GetBacktotheTable.com.

Greeley, Colorado police arrested a woman this week after she tried to kill her dog, first by drugging it with anti-anxiety pills, then by shooting it four times. Paula Harding, 33, was arrested on felony cruelty to animal charges and is now out of jail on a five-thousand-dollar personal recognizance bond. She told police her dog was old and sick and she couldn't afford a veterinarian to put the animal to sleep. The woman said she couldn't afford to take her dog to a veterinarian to be euthanized, so on Saturday, she gave the dog four or five Xanax tablets -- an anti-anxiety prescription drug. When the dog hadn't died overnight, she gave it two more Xanax on Sunday, but the dog still didn't die. She then took the dog outside and placed it in a hole she'd dug and shot at the dog five times. It apparently was hit by four bullets from the 22-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun, and was killed.

Here’s a sure-fire way to tell the economy is in the gutter. The National Debt Clock in New York City has run out of digits to record the growing figure. The federal government’s current debt is about $10.2 trillion. The Durst Organization says it plans to update the sign next year by adding two digits. That will make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars. The sign was put up in 1989 to call attention to what was then a $2.7 trillion debt.

A 48-year-old man who drove a fake rocket with the words “Viva Viagra” on it through New York is being sued for copyright infringement for his reference to the drug. Arye Sachs said police in the Queens Midtown Tunnel laughed when he drove his fake rocket past them on September 8th as part of his unusual journey through New York. Sachs said it was merely part of his ongoing attempt to have “fun” in life. An attorney for Pfizer says Sachs’ use of the company’s logo could confuse consumers into thinking the rocket was an actual advertisement for the drug. Sachs contends that nobody would be deterred from buying the blue pills over what he did. He should know, Sachs says he’s a “customer.” Sachs hauled the missile on a trailer hitched to his car through Manhattan, where he parked it in front of the Trump Tower. He also drove it past Pfizer’s headquarters.

Aaron Tippin played firefighter this week stamping out a brush fire that was threatening his home. Aaron and his wife Thea were having lunch nearby when a call came over a scanner about a fire close to his house. Aaron acted quickly to dig fire trenches and help firefighters put out the blaze. Aaron says, "Tell George Strait to move over, there's a new 'Fireman' in town." Aaron has been busy these days doing concerts with vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin as well as promoting his upcoming album, In Overdrive

Gretchen Wilson’s newest single, “Don’t Do Me No Good,” didn’t do her that much good. Gretchen wasn’t able to crack the Top 40 with the single, which came out July 14th. As a result, Wilson’s next album, tentatively titled “I Got Your Country Right Here,” won’t be out this fall as previously indicated by her label. The latest word is that a new Wilson CD is set for early 2009.

Internet and Web browser security experts are sounding the alarm on a new type of malicious attack called “clickjacking,” a technique that can be used to con Web surfers into revealing confidential information while clicking on seemingly harmless Web pages. A clickjacking attack can be used to take control of a computer’s Webcam and microphone without the user’s knowledge. Clickjacking has been identified as a vulnerability for the Adobe Flash player, as well as for every major browser, including Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and even the newly released Google Chrome.

Cory Davis, 56, had just finished stoking her cast-iron stove to heat her home when something inside it exploded. There was a loud bang, and then she was struck on the inside of her left calf. She says, "I kept thinking, 'Geez, that was one fast hot coal flying at me. But it wasn't a coal." It was part of a 22-gauge shotgun shell that had been accidentally placed in the stove along with some newspaper. The Sekiu, Washington woman said a case of the ammo had spilled in her home about a month ago. She thinks one shell was in newspaper she had used to light the stove. Davis said she removed the metal fragment from her wound early Sunday morning, then visited Forks Community Hospital on Monday.
