My kind of woman completely - this is one smart and tough mama :-)
Story:
Canada -- A Moose Jaw woman credits the Discovery Channel with saving her life after tips she learned on a program about shark attacks helped her fend off an intruder who broke into her apartment in Medicine Hat.
The 27-year-old female was alone in her home around 4:30 p.m. March 25 when she was confronted by a man armed with a crowbar, duct tape and handcuffs.
"I poked him in the eye like you do to a shark that’s attacking you," she said. "I was also trying to fish-hook my fingers inside his lips because I know that hurts. I scratched his hands really good and got as much of my blood on him as possible because I knew he’d have to have my DNA on him and I’d have to have his DNA on me for there to be any evidence."

Australian changes
Australia -- Rape victims will be more inclined to come forward and seek justice under reforms to the law covering sexual assault, NSW Attorney General Bob Debus says.
Under the changes, judges and police will be asked to attend education seminars as part of the reforms.
Victims will have access to one-stop sexual assault centres so they no longer have to separately visit hospitals, police and community service organisations following their ordeal.
The changes also reduce the number of times victims have to give evidence and face cross-examination, and some will have the option of giving evidence through a third person.

The irony of fighting back successfully
The attacker, (...), had grabbed the woman by the throat and threatened to kill her if she screamed for help. He shoved her to the ground and began undoing her clothing, but she fought back and escaped after he dragged her behind a trash container to avoid being seen by a passing car.
"The irony is that, because the woman thwarted her attacker, we did not have the kinds of physical forensic evidence needed in a case like this."
