PHOENIX, March 19 (UPI) -- A Phoenix hair salon owner who moonlights as a movie stuntman shot and apprehended a man he said was trying to rob his shop at gunpoint.

Rodd Wolff said he was in the back room of the store when he heard his wife use the code word they had chosen in case of robberies, KPNX-TV, Phoenix, reported Wednesday.

The stuntman -- who honed skills including the ability to shoot a gun while on horseback while training for such films as Rambo III and Miracle at Sage Creek -- grabbed a gun that was hidden in a towel at the salon and confronted the suspect, who was dressed in a wig and dark sunglasses.

Wolfe said he ordered the suspect to drop his gun, but the other man refused to comply. Wolff said he fired three shots, striking the suspect once, and held the would-be robber at gunpoint until police arrived at the scene.

The suspect was hospitalized in critical condition.

BEIJING, March 19 (UPI) -- Chinese officials said bathroom renovations are under way at Olympic venues after testers complained about the Asian-style squat toilets.

Yao Hui, deputy head of venue management, said renovations to install Western-style sit-down commodes have started at three venues and more are being planned, the BBC reported Wednesday.

A lot of parties have raised the question of toilets ... We have told the venues to improve on this, Hui said.

Most of the Chinese people are used to the squat toilet, but nowadays more and more people demand sit-down toilets, he said. However, it will take some time for this transition.

Yao said the proportion of squat toilets to sit-down johns will vary from venue to venue.

BEIJING, March 19 (UPI) -- Tourism officials in Beijing have hired linguists to do away with poorly translated English signs ahead of the upcoming Olympic Games.

The Beijing Municipal Tourism Bureau is working to correct the language on the signs, which have long amused Anglophone visitors to the city with poorly worded translations, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.

The bureau has also instructed city businesses to provide proper English translations of signs, menus and notices.

The city has given restaurant owners a list of commonly mistranslations -- including steamed crap and burnt lion's head -- along with the correct English names of the dishes -- steamed crabs and Chinese pork meatballs, respectively.

These translations either scare or embarrass foreign customers and may cause misunderstanding on China's diet habits, the state news agency said.

Other mistranslations on Beijing signs include a notice welcoming visitors to Racist Park, which would translate more accurately to the Park of Ethnic Minorities, and wet road warnings that inform motorists that the slippery are very crafty.

CINCINNATI, March 19 (UPI) -- An Ohio man saved his fiancee and infant son from a fire after he nearly drove away to work but returned to kiss the baby goodbye.

Kevin Roy said he realized while pulling out of his driveway Tuesday morning that he had forgotten to kiss his 1-year-old son, Koby, goodbye, WLWT-TV, Cincinnati, reported Wednesday.

I just wanted to tell him I loved him before I left, Roy said. I pulled up to the end of the driveway and thought, 'I want to go in and tell him bye,' because I normally do. It's just something I do on a daily basis, so I decided to go back in.

Roy said his house was filled with smoke when he walked back in the door. He said he was able to locate and wake his sleeping fiancee, Ashley Swingley, but Koby's room was filled with so much smoke that the parents could not see inside.

I couldn't even see into his room, and I just grabbed him and ran outside, said Swingley.

The fire, which destroyed the house and nearly all of its contents, is under investigation.
