BEDFORD, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio man who argued with his grown son over a messy bedroom said he overreacted when he called 911. Andrew Mizsak called authorities Thursday after his 28-year-old son -- who's a school board member in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford -- threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and made a fist at him when told to clean his room.

LONDON, May 16 (UPI) -- More than a third of British women interviewed for a survey said they bought clothes too small as an incentive to lose weight.
