Life-Saving Moves: 5 Most Uplifting Stories of the Week

A pair of life-saving moves highlight the week's list of uplifting stories:

• Teen Helps Save Life of Cop Booking Him: As Franklin Foulks was processing a teen charged with probation violation for criminal mischief and burglary, the Fort Lauderdale officer suddenly fell from his chair and, writhing on the floor, grabbed at his chest. The handcuffed teen, 17-year-old Jamal Rutledge, stood up and banged at the door of the security fence, yelling for help. The quick action likely saved the officer's life.
• Newspaper Carrier Notices Light Left On, Saves Life: A newspaper deliveryman in New Jersey had a hunch that one of his customers, an 85-year-old woman, might be in trouble, so he stopped by the police station and asked them to check on her. The hunch paid off.
