nFrom Chris Murphy 01634 686 515nHard to think someone could be so callous as to toss this tiny bundle of cuteness from a speeding car ¿ but they did.nAmazingly, and perhaps she¿s so tiny and light, Buffy the kitten survived without any serious injury.nAnd she rolled up to the feet of a good Samaritan who took her to a shelter.nNow the tiny kitten, hurled from a moving car in Milwaukee, is looking for a new home.nBuffy is only about four weeks old, and arrived at the Wisconsin Humane Society this week.nShe was taken there by a woman who says she saw her thrown from a car driving near West National Avenue.nJulissa Rivera said she originally thought someone had tossed a small bag of trash from the car, but then spotted a shaking kitten looking at her. Rivera named her Buffy, but wasn't able to keep the cat because another tenant in her building has allergies, Humane Society spokesman Angela Speed said.nBuffy was hungry but uninjured when she arrived, Angela told the local paper, the Journal Sentinel.nThe kitten weighs less than a pound and was scheduled to go to a foster home Friday afternoon. She will be available for adoption in early May, Speed said, once she's eight weeks old and weighs at least two pounds.n"She's our poster child for our foster care program," Speed said. "We have hundreds of kittens who need foster care."nRivera named the kitten after the popular action heroine Buffy the Vampire Slayer.n"She's brave and strong and smart, so it was a great name," Speed said.nEndsnn

Radio programme : Red, amber, green. The first set of traffic lights was turned on in 1868. Fuelled by gas and operated by hand, the revolving red and green lights allowed MP's access to the House of Commons. They weren't popular with the public and it wasn't until 1927 that a fully automatic set came into operation when a signal box, suspended from a cable, controlled a crossroads at Prince's Square, Wolverhampton.

Pic shows: The baby cow in the back of a farmer's Fiat Punto. Traffic cops were udderly shocked when they stopped a farmer in his Fiat Punto - and found a baby cow in the back. Farmer Zbigniew Grabowski, 53, had been taking the calf back to his farm after visiting a local vet when he was spotted by stunned motorists in the town of Mogilno in central Poland. Driver Tomek Mroczkowski, 34, said: "We had come to some traffic lights and I pulled up beside the car next to me. "I looked over and I couldnít believe my eyes when saw the face of a cow staring back at me. I almost didn't believe it at first. "The lights then changed and the car drove off with the cow still looking out of the window. It was such a small car, the poor thing must have been a bit squashed." Police were soon called and stopped Grabowski as he trundled through the streets. A police spokesman said: "The driver said he was taking his cow back to his farm and that he had specially adapted the car to carry livestock. "We explained that he should get a proper truck and that putting a cow in the back of the car was dangerous." The farmer was fined 100 GBP, had his driving licence confiscated and was made to walk the cow back to the farm. (ends)¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

The petition which has been set up to try to stop Jacky Collyer being deported. See SWNS story SWDEPORT: A hard-working Australian entrepreneur who runs a successful coffee shop is being deported - because she didn't earn enough before launching the venture. Aussie-born Jacky Collyer, 27, moved to Britain in 2011 and married barista husband Andy Carter two years ago. They had just signed a five-year lease on a premises for their own artisan coffee house when they received a bombshell letter from the Home Office. Officials said she must be deported because the couple did not meet the minimum income threshold for sponsoring a non-EU spouse to stay in the country.
