Pregnancies skyrocket after music festival: The pregnancy rate soars each year after Colorado's Grand Junction's Country Jam Festival, said health officials last week. On average, the clinic Nurse-Family Partnership sees between 25-30 pregnancies a month. However, five weeks after the festival, that number spikes to 80 a month. Festival performers included Tim McGraw, Clay Walker and Sugarland.

Women don't save enough to retire: Despite the fact that on average, women live longer than men, women don't plan well for their future, according to new research conducted by Hewitt Associates, a human resources consulting firm. The study showed women wait to save, invest more conservatively, and move in and out of the work force more often than men. Experts say women need to save two percent more than men every year over 30 years to stay afloat upon retirement.

Teen sends LSD-laced dessert to cops: Christian Phillips, 18, is suspected of delivering cookies laced with hallucinogens to a dozen police departments in the Dallas-Fort Worth TX area, according to police. The boy was charged with LSD possession after three officers got sick. Phillips was jailed in Lake Worth, Texas, pending an arraignment Wednesday.

Adult and child leap to their deaths: A 45-year-old man and a 5-year-old boy jumped out of a six-story apartment building in New York City Tuesday after a fire raged through the building. Police say the two were trying to escape the smoke that filled the sixth floor. Eight people were hospitalized with minor injuries. Authorities don't know the cause of the fire.
