42-year-old Gloria Navarro was crowned Miss Cougar America. She says, quote: --"It's a new beginning for me. I went from soccer mom with short hair, flat-heeled shoes, and fanny packs . . . to cougar. I believe every woman has a cougar in them, someone who doesn't need a man for anything other than companionship." (San Francisco Chronicle / San Francisco Weekly)

A SCHOOL IN NEW YORK WANTS TO BAN HANDSHAKES AND "CHEST BUMPS" TO PREVENT SWINE FLU:

Kids all over the country are heading back to school. And, let's face it, where there are kids . . . there are lots and lots of germs. That's why, in order to prevent the spread of SWINE FLU, officials at Glen Cove Middle School on Long Island, New York, have decided to BAN all skin-to-skin contact between students, including:
--Handshakes
--High fives
--Hugs
--And "chest bumps" (???)

According to one local health official, quote, "People are trying to think outside of the box, creatively, how to minimize spread of the illness, how to protect others, and I applaud that thinking." (WCBS News 2 - New York)
