Court: Bosses cannot scold workers loudly ROME, March 24 (UPI) -- An employer chiding a worker so loudly co-workers can hear the incident amounts to mobbing, and is illegal, an Italian court ruled Tuesday.

Lake Wobegon County suggested in Minn. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 24 (UPI) -- Some Minnesota lawmakers say they would like to see a Lake Wobegon county, an effort likely to be cheered on by Garrison Keillor fans. The measure being introduced in the Minnesota Legislature Tuesday would combine all of Stearns and Benton counties and the northern part of Sherburne County, the Star Tribune reported. The bill is being pushed by three lawmakers from St. Cloud, which is in the region. The bill is to carry the draft name "Lake Wobegon," the fictional town created by Keillor for his public radio program "Prairie Home Companion," though if it passes any reformulated county would be given a permanent name by its residents.

There is at least one geographic use of the Lake Wobegon name in the area -- the 46-mile-long Lake Wobegon Trail, used by cyclists and walkers. Wedding celebrates love, pi PERINTON, N.Y., March 24 (UPI) -- A pair of New York state high school teachers said they held their math-infused wedding on the day set aside to commemorate irrational decimal pi.

News and Democrat reported Tuesday. Smith said holding the wedding on Pi Day was her students' idea. "I love the kids (and) I absolutely love math. I find it fascinating," she said. The couple said they met their freshman year at State University College at Geneseo, N.Y., when Ahl was studying his calculus book while doing laundry. "The big pickup line was 'so who's your cal teacher?'" Smith said. "And that's when we started talking."
