BENALMADENA, Spain, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- A 67-year-old British matador who was ordered by his doctor to retire more than five years ago has announced he will return to the ring in Spain.  Frank Evans, a grandfather-of-five from Salford, England, said he will once again don the bullfighting moniker El Ingles -- The English -- and face off against a bull in Benalmadena, Spain, later this month, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

But will Britain's national health service take care of him, or consider him too old to save?

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- A 10-year-old girl in New York says she received a $50 ticket from parks department officials for operating a lemonade stand without a permit.
Clementine Lee and her father, Richard, opened their lemonade stand in Riverside Park on Saturday to take advantage of the hot summer weather and within 20 minutes they sold 10 glasses of ice-cold lemonade, the New York Post reported Sunday.

Can't we make better use of government resources?  Turns out the summons was later dismissed on a technicality.
