Commons Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans continued to deny indecent assault allegations after being questioned by police over fresh claims.
Commons Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans continued to deny indecent assault allegations after being questioned by police over fresh claims.
Nigel Evans told today of the support he has had after going through what he described as the "worst two days of my life".
Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans said today that allegations he raped one man and sexually assaulted another are "completely false".
Lancashire MP Nigel Evans, who has been cleared of nine sexual offences, has told ITV News that the support of his constituents helped him get through his '11 months of hell'
Mr Evans likened the trial to being hit by a truck every day, but said the faith of people in the Ribble Valley had kept him 'solid'.
Tory MP Nigel Evans is entitled to reclaim part of his legal costs from successfully defending himself against charges of rape and sexual assault, the Ministry of Justice has said.
A spokesman said:
"Anyone who has applied for legal aid and is subsequently acquitted of a crime is entitled to be repaid at least part of their legal costs - irrespective of whether their application was accepted."

Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans has called for a rethink of the law relating to rape cases, telling ITV News it is not right for those making allegations to remain anonymous while defendants' names are publicised.
Conservative MP Nigel Evans has told ITV News the "trauma" of his trial for sexual assault made him realise the "first-hand consequences" of cutting legal aid.
He admitted he "might well" have voted for the cuts, but now understood the problems they could create for people.
The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons said cutting legal aid can leave people "doubly punished" if they have to defend themselves and then foot huge legal bills, even if they are acquitted.
Read: MP Nigel Evans considered suicide 'in darkest moments'
The former deputy speaker, Nigel Evans, who represents Ribble Valley, has told ITV News about the moment he was cleared of sexual offence charges.
He said: "When I stood in the dock listening to the foreman come out with the verdicts I could actually feel my heart beat without touching it."
Nigel Evans has told ITV Daybreak that headlines that suggested he was a functioning alcoholic were untrue.
He said that the accusations angered him as his own father had suffered from alcoholism.
Instead he described himself as a 'social drinker'.
Nigel Evans MP, who was cleared of sex offence charges last week, has told ITV Daybreak that every day that he was accused of the charges felt 'like being hit by an Eddie Stobart truck.'
He said he will not resume his role as deputy speaker, but will instead go to the back benches.
The former deputy speaker, Nigel Evans, who represents Ribble Valley, has told ITV Daybreak that he wants to 'move on with his job' after being cleared of sex offence charges.
In the exclusive interview, he said that issues surrounding anonymity for those accused of sexual offences should be looked at.
He said in light of the Jimmy Savile scandal, the system has gone 'too far the other way' and that people in the spotlight are being charged 'just in case'.
In response to allegations that his behaviour as an MP had been 'inappropriate', he said that the drinking culture in Westminster is now 'not what it was'.
The Director of Public Prosecutions has defended the decision to prosecute Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans over a string of sex offence charges, saying victims of such offences do not always consider themselves victims.
Alison Saunders defended the Crown Prosecution Service's handling of the case against the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, who wept in the dock yesterday after a jury at Preston Crown Court unanimously cleared him of nine sexual allegations, including one of rape.
The trial of Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans has heard claims about a "special relationship he had with one of his alleged victims."
Mr Evans is accused of sexual offences against seven men, including one of rape. He denies the charges.

D.M.A., M.M. University of Kansas
As director of choral activities at Davidson College, I conduct three unique choirs in the Music Department. The Davidson College Chorale, Davidson Singers, and the Choral Arts Society and Pro Arte Orchestra. In addition to my choral duties, I also teach private voice to any student who wants to learn more about the art of singing.
For five years I was associate director of choral activities and tenured associate professor of voice at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. There I taught private voice on the undergraduate and graduate levels, conducted three choirs including a Women's Chorus, and taught Choral Composition and Theory. I also served as the artistic director for the school's annual Christmas Gala that attracted thousands of children and adults in eight performances each year.
I have travelled extensively nationally and internationally, serving as guest conductor, clinician, and singer in several states and abroad—Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, and Switzerland. An active member of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) and National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), I have directed choirs and taught award winning voice students who participated in state and regional conferences for both associations.
As a baritone soloist, I have performed in numerous operas, oratorios, recitals, and churches throughout my career. I am a founding member of and soloist for the Simon Carrington Chamber Singers, a professional choral ensemble based in Kansas City, Missouri. My performances have been praised as "magnificent" in the Kansas City Metropolis, and the Kansas City Star wrote, "Bass Christopher Gilliam was marvelous, with strikingly rich tone and impeccable diction." I have also sung with the Minnesota Beethoven Festival (Dale Warland, conductor) and Kansas City Collegium Vocale.
As a choral composer, I have published music with Alliance Music, Beckenhorst Press, Soundforth—a division of Lorenz Press—and I am an ASCAP member.

Throughout our lives each of us will develop different types of relationships and each relationship we have is unique. We all have our own ideas about what a relationship means, how to begin one, how to nurture one, and even how to end one. There are no standard "how to's" when it comes to relationships.
If you have questions about what makes a relationship healthy, how to identify an unhealthy relationship, and what you can do if someone refuses to respect your choice to end a relationship, check out the following brochures:
In recognition of the importance that healthy relationships have to maintaining healthy work and study environments, the Human Rights Office has various programs to address the issue. If you are part of a group that is interested in a guided discussion on sex, consent and dating, contact the Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (613) 533-2755

News: Slim Thug Snubs B.I.G. From Top 5 Rappers List, "He [Didn't] Put Out Enough Music To Be The Best Ever"
Thursday, Oct 21, 2010 12:15PM
Southern rapper Slim Thug has listed his top five favorite rappers of all-time, ranging from the late Tupac Shakur to Lil Wayne.
Despite his admiration for B.I.G., Thugga felt the late rapper hasn't released an adequate amount of music to be considered an all-time great.
"Tupac, his music is so meaningful; you know what I'm saying. With him, it wasn't just about music. He had so much feeling in everything he did. That's like, my favorite rapper of all time; that's Tupac! Jay-Z, him being alive, I got so much respect for him as an artist, you know what I'm saying. For him to be so consistent, and for him to still be the top rapper in this generation--dude is like 40 years old and he's broke all kind of boundaries...See, I like Biggie. I think he jam or whatever. But, I don't think he put out enough music to be [considered] the best ever. He only put out two albums, due to him losing his life. And I'm from the South; I'll put cats like, Scarface, on the list." (All Hip Hop)
Thugga also included renowned hip-hop duo UGK in his Top 5 list.
"UGK. They're a group; but, there among the top artists to me. I grew up on they s***. I know a mother***er from New York will say something totally different, like Wu-Tang...[Finally, Lil Wayne.] He does more music and puts more out there than Jay-Z. He puts more out there than anybody! Nobody is putting out as much music as Lil Wayne, nobody." (All Hip Hop)
Outside of music, earlier this month, Slim Thug became embroiled in a Twitter dispute with celebrity groupie Kat Stacks.
"@ihateKatStacks See I was tryna not to go off on u I was taking up for u when they were talking bout u and I didn't even tweet that pic," he tweeted Tuesday (October 12).
"But f*ck it u won't get me and it ain't cause u put ppl on blast it's cause u look like a possum in the facehttp://plixi.com/p/50243623"
"My d*ck dnt work for bitches who look like u @ihateKatStacks http://plixi.com/p/50243968" (Slim Thug's Twitter)
Stacks followed up by sending her own taunting rebuttals to Slim Thug.
"AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU STILL FAT & YOUR CAREER IS OVER GO APPLY TO BE A GAS STATION JANITOR @SLIMTHUGGA," she responded.
"I still get booked more than you do b*tch ... stop wasting yo time hating on me & rick ross & put down the chicken wing#FatB*tch" (Kat Stacks' Twitter)
Check out some past footage of Slim Thug below:

The Pew Research Center has its own latest report published in which they showed the increasing number of tablet computers in America during the holidays this year. According to their survey results, the 29% percent of American people are using tablets in January 2012 which was just 18% in the month of December 2011. However, the number was also increased from 10% to 19% in the mid-December 2011. This simply means that one out of four people in America are using Tablet PC or e-reader.
Lee Raine, director of the Internet and American Life Project by Pew Research Center stated that the adoption and usage of digital technology has enjoyed a great rise in the January 2012 which was never seen before.
The major reason behind this awesome growth in sales of tablets and e-readers is due to the introduction of Amazon's Kindle tablets and Barnes and Nobel's Nook tablet which are available at quite lower price range than the other manufacturers like "Apple" and "Samsung".
However, the Apple has claimed that the introduction of cheaper devices have not affected the sales of iPad devices. The major players like Apple, Samsung, and Sony have their tablet products like iPad2, Sony S tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab which are far costlier than Kindle and Nook tablets. However, the current growth in the tablet and e-readers adoption is due to these tablets, as Pew's reports said.
The adoption of Tablets as a necessary electronic device is highly increased in the America. Pew has also reports with detailed information. In this report, they have shown that e-reader ownership is increased in women more than that of men. The e-reader ownership among women is 21% while it is 16% among men.
The entire project is funded by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for studying the people's view at libraries by collecting data about ownership of e-readers.

Dear Lou,
For my money, Lou, you are the Manager-of-the-Year! Cub fans everywhere are grateful for the magnificent job you did in molding this team and taking us from last to first. But even the Manger-of-the-Year can make a mistake. Your one mistake is in insisting that Ryan Dempster is the Cub closer. Okay, you have kept your promise for the regular season. But now its over. I know that every now and then Dempster looks okay. But as you must have learned by now, Dempster is also an accident waiting to happen. I am making this appeal on behalf of the majority of Cub fans. Please, please reconsider. I know many fans with heart problems that turn off the TV or radio, when he comes in. Ryan Dempster, all by himself, is capable of ruining our chances of victory. Even the ultimate Cub fan, Ron Santo, will privately agree with this request. You have several good choices for closer, Carlos Marmol, Bob Howry, or even Kerry Wood. Please, Lou, consider this last appeal.
Leo 13

Reward Checking with a Very High Yield but a Very Low Balance Cap at TrustBank in IL & AZ - Available Nationwide
TrustBank is offering a high-yield reward checking account that is a bit unusual. It offers a very high yield, but it applies only to a very small balance. So it's definitely not for those with large savings. For those who maintain an average balance of under $2,000, it may be something to consider.
TrustBank's reward checking account is called iChecking and it pays 7.00% APY on balances up to $1,000 as of 7/26/2010. Over $1,000, the rate goes way down to 0.20%. To qualify for this rate requires the following monthly activities:
- 10 debit card purchases
- One direct deposit
- Two Online Bill Pays or automatic payments
- Receive E-Statements
- Access Online Banking at least one time per month
There are no ATM fee refunds, but you have free access to the Allpoint ATM network. There are no monthly service charge and no minimum balance requirement.
When would this account be worthwhile?
This account would only be useful for those who don't have much savings. If you think you can keep an average balance of at least $1,842, you would do better in a 4% reward checking account with the typical $25K balance cap. An average balance of over $2,500 in a 3% reward checking account would do better than this iChecking account.
Another option for those who don't have much savings would be a regular free checking account combined with a cash-back credit card. If you spend $500 per month with a 2% cash-back credit card, your yearly return will be $120. With this iChecking account, you'll only make around $70 per year if you maintain an average balance of at least $1,000. If you prefer debit cards, PerkStreet Financial's checking account would be something to consider (see my Perkstreet Financial review).
Small Promotion
TrustBank is offering a little bonus for opening the iChecking. Here is how they describe the bonus:
Open iChecking online and receive a TrustBank T-shirt and a coupon for an additional $25 deposit into a DreamBuilder Certificate of Deposit opened online.
The bank has an online application via andera.com that allows ACH funding. Last week I asked the bank if they allow out-of-state applications. Here was their reply:
We accept customers from anywhere in the U.S. providing they pass our identity verification procedures.
If you prefer a branch visit, the bank has branches in Illinois and in Tempe, Arizona.
Financial Overview
TrustBank's ratings for safety and soundness are fair: 3 stars (adequate) at BauerFinancial, 3 stars (performing) at Bankrate.com and an overall health score of 4 out of 5 at DepositAccounts.com (see our financial overview for TrustBank). These ratings are based on 3/31/10 financial data. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1934 (FDIC Certificate # 14662).
Other High-Yield Reward Checking Accounts
Fortunately, the vast majority of reward checking accounts have balance caps of at least $25K. However, lower caps of $20K to $10K are becoming more popular.
Please refer to the reward checking section of DepositAccounts.com to find reward checking accounts in your state or that are available nationwide.

In fact, the coaches even work with swimmers who have a fear of the water, helping them overcome their anxiety and gain confidence in their swimming technique. The school recommends scheduling lessons once or twice a week for 30 minutes at a time to ensure retention.

SwimKids jumpstarts tykes' swimming strokes and socialization skills in classes conducted in a pool heated to a balmy 90 degrees. The program traces its roots back to 1983, when Liz Walker sought out a class that could teach her own 18-month-old daughter to swim. Her search led her to a local swimming pool where tykes as young as 10 months were impressively proficient in the water. Liz studied their method and began teaching on her own, a profession she has continued to pursue for the past 30 years. Today, the enthusiastic instructors at SwimKids continue to get results, helping develop pool-ready skills in kids as young as 3 months old.
Navy Special Operators are recognized as some of the world's most feared warriors. Run using the same aquatic training program that tests the mettle of real-life divers and explosives techs, Hellbender's Amphibious Bootcamp sends exercisers plunging in and out of the water as they blast through a blend of calisthenics and aquatic exercises. A diverse collection of former sailors, soldiers, and firefighters lead the classes, shouting encouragement as as students switch from pushups and pull-ups to freestyle, breaststroke, and sprint swims. Movable obstacles including sandbags, weights, and decommissioned bathyspheres also wait beneath the depths, challenging endurance as they bulk up screaming muscles. Classes welcome all fitness levels, but exercisers should be able to tread water, swim at least 25 yards without stopping, and arrive with their own goggles and swimsuit.
In olden days, people showed off their strength by jousting or flexing their mustaches. But at Maverik Man Games, both men and women prove their mettle with less violent feats of strength, such as launching a fellow teammate from a giant slingshot. Designed for individuals as well as teams, the competition encompasses up to 10 challenges, which range from showcasing your basketball-shooting skills to wrestling pigs into a barrel. Along with its land-bound activities, Maverik Man Games includes a variety of aqua-centric events, such as a giant rope swing and human slingshot.
Held over two days, the eccentric decathlon takes about two to three total hours to complete. Participants that place in the top three overall or for each challenge are rewarded with cash and prizes. And, all participants are likewise rewarded at the end of the circuit with tasty food, and live music.

Czech - USA world cup football game on Old Town Square
The World > Europe > Czech Republic > Prague
Forget about politics, beautiful weather, and shopping malls, nothing gets a crowd into a frenzy more than a good sports event. Old Town Square was packed full for Czech's first World Cup Match, against the USA, which they won 3-0.
In the front row were photographers; next, the semi-homeless professional drunks; regular frenzied civilians made up the remainder of the crowd - a rare mixture of locals and holiday folks, brought together by this global competition. Record sums will surely be spent in the next few weeks, by fans proving their absolute loyalty to their teams -- by painting their flesh or simply buying the right hat.

It's Christmas again in Prague. Old Town Square is packed again. As the years pass by, the scene here...
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has long attracted artists and wandering spirits, although it was originally inhabited by prehistoric fish. Their inland sea filled the basin contained by the Tatras and Carpathian mountains, but when it eventually dried up they were forced to yield the terrain to dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and Neanderthals.
In human times the Celtic tribes came to reside here, leaving remains dating back to the 4th Century B.C. Their tribal name, Boii, gives the root of the word "Bohemia". The three separate territories of Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia now make up the modern Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1993 "Velvet Divorce."
Thanks to its enigmatic founder, the city of Prague derives a magnetic appeal for visionaries, scientists and astronomers. The historical figure credited with the launch of Prague is Princess Libuse, a visionary prophet and warrior who once stood atop the hill at Vysehrad and made the prophecy as follows,
"I see a vast city, whose glory will touch the stars!"
This indeed came to pass after she took Otokar Premysl to be her husband and King, launching the Premyslid dynasty, and leaving it to rule for the first four hundred years of Czech history. When the last Premyslid king, Wenceslas III, died without producing a male heir, the fourteen year-old John of Luxembourg came to take the throne of the Czech lands.
Hot-headed John died in battle, but his diplomatic son Charles IV inherited the throne and, through keen multi-lingual savvy, managed to both keep it and earn the title "Father of the Czech Nation."
Charles IV was the first of the Holy Roman Emperors here; he ruled during the height of Prague's elegance and splendour. This is the man to know if you want to understand Prague's layout. He sponsored the construction of such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, the Hunger Wall and St. Vitus' Cathedral, as well as personally designing the neighborhood called New Town (Nove Mesto) which has for its center Karlovo Namesti or Charles Square.
The city displays every branch of architecture across the last thousand years, including Cubism, a style which you will be hard-pressed to find applied to buildings anywhere else in the world. Beyond the stunning visual makeup of the city, there is a wealth of nightlife and entertainment, beginning with the legendary concert halls including the Rudolfinum, National Theater, Estates Theater and the Municipal House.
After investigating the Castle and Bridge, which are the most heavily-trafficked tourist areas, take a look around Zizkov and Letna, two of the cooler neighborhoods for bars and restaurants.
However quiet it may seem after ten PM, Prague is alive and throbbing in an endless array of basement bars, pubs, clubs, discos and pool halls waiting to be discovered by the intrepid subterranean adventurer. To get an idea of what lies in store, check out the panoramas for Chateau and Palac Akropolis and when you're out and about, make sure you look for the stairs down to the cellar.
Apart from shopping, eating, drinking and wearing out your digital camera, delve into the rich green carpet of Prague's parks, many of which lie only walking-minutes from the city center.

Planning application submitted for Portland school academy
12:00pm Wednesday 3rd October 2012 in News
A planning application has finally been submitted for the controversial school academy on Portland.
The Department for Education is proposing to invest around £15 million in a new campus at Southwell Park which is supported by sponsors the Aldridge Foundation and Dorset County Council.
The academy opened this September within the founding schools' existing sites, but intends to locate to two new school campuses at Osprey Quay and Southwell Park next academic year.
The new Southwell Park campus will cater for students between 3 and 19 years old, with the main school buildings divided into houses or "schools within schools", and a separate section for early years children from nursery to year 3, with its own entrance and play areas.
Plans include a 200-seat theatre, heated swimming pool, a new sports hall and specialist sports, art, drama, music, science and environmental science facilities; cutting-edge computer facilities and new technology to support learning plus a dedicated zone to support enterprise for students and the community.
The campus will offer a range of after-school activities, which could also be available out of school hours for local residents and groups. opening up new resources for the wider community.
Jane Fooks, on behalf of the Academy Trust said: "Significant amendments have been made to the plans as a result of the comments we have received.
"A key concern for parents and local residents was transport to and from the new campus. Following the exhibitions we have made decisive steps to ensure the provision of bus services."

Editorial: 'Volcker Rule' would check Wall Street's bad bets
If Wall Street awarded titles of nobility, Jon Corzine would have been made a prince long ago. He rose to the top of Goldman Sachs, got rich, then headed into public service. After losing his bid to be re-elected as governor of New Jersey, he returned to finance last year, taking the helm of high-flying brokerage MF Global.
OPPOSING VIEW: Don't tighten rules on banks
So MF Global's recent ignominious collapse, brought on by Corzine's huge bets on European debt, raises a couple of questions. One, how could such an esteemed lord of high finance be such an idiot? And, two, have we learned nothing from the 2008 financial collapse?
Corzine's downfall came mostly because he gambled like it was 2007, but also because he fought Washington like it was 2011. He hated regulations that would have forced brokers to more clearly separate client money from company money, which might explain why $600 million has gone missing. ("I think something nefarious has happened, potentially something illegal," U.S. regulator Bart Chilton told Reuters on Tuesday.) Corzine also challenged anyone who questioned the prudence of his company's use of borrowed funds to make its big wagers.
Although MF Global's bankruptcy filing has already cost more than 1,000 jobs, the meltdown is not without its redeeming qualities. It is now an advertisement for the post-crash banking reform known by its principal authors as the Dodd-Frank law, the one that Wall Street is trying to water down in the rule-making process and that Republicans routinely pillory in their presidential debates.
About Editorials/Debate
Opinions expressed in USA TODAY's editorials are decided by its Editorial Board, a demographically and ideologically diverse group that is separate from USA TODAY's news staff.
Most editorials are accompanied by an opposing view — a unique USA TODAY feature that allows readers to reach conclusions based on both sides of an argument rather than just the Editorial Board's point of view.
In particular, the collapse of MF Global shows why the so-called Volcker Rule contained in the new law is so necessary and why banks are intent on gutting it. When it goes into effect next year, the provision, named after former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, will attempt to prohibit large banking institutions from making highly speculative investments, known as proprietary trading.
As a non-bank institution small enough to fly under the radar, MF Global did not have to worry about the Volcker Rule. And it showed. Corzine wagered billions in borrowed funds that Europe would backstop ailing countries like Greece. The game ended when the Europeans fumbled and MF's creditors got skittish.
Volcker reasoned that the nation's biggest banks are also vulnerable to this sort of risky behavior on their proprietary trading desks, which amount to in-house hedge funds. Corzine demonstrated that Volcker was right. Whether it is the house's own capital, which more often than not is borrowed, or money from institutional clients, Corzine showed that Wall Street's passion for huge risks and quick killings lives on. It's also alive in Washington, where banking lobbyists have woven so many loopholes into the Volcker Rule that it's stretched from the four pages Volcker says are needed to 298 — then argued for killing it because it's too complex.
The MF Global saga illustrates how the banking system would be terribly compromised if regulators can't stop the casino-like wagering. MF Global was small enough that it could collapse without causing anything like the credit crises and bailouts unleashed by the fall of Lehman Bros. in 2008. That would not be the case if a "too big to fail" institution suffered enormous trading losses. Failure of the largest banks, with more than $2 trillion in assets and liabilities, would still cause economic havoc.
If a supposed master of the universe like Corzine can run his company into the ground, why should anyone believe that others wouldn't make similarly bad bets?

By JILL MCNEAL6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - If you're feeling under the weather, you're not alone. Health experts say this flu season is coming a little earlier than usual.
According to the CDC, the southeast is experiencing "elevated levels" of flu activity. Right now, reports in Tennessee are sporadic, but several surrounding states, including Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and especially Mississippi, are seeing flu-like viruses spread quickly.
"We're seeing a lot of flu as well as bad upper respiratory infections and sinus infections," said Dr. John Wilkinson. "Last winter was not too bad from an infectious disease standpoint. We had some flu. It certainly seems like we're having more flu this season than we did last season."
The flu normally peaks here in February.
"We are just a little bit early because I've been seeing a rise since the end of October. All through November we have steadily seen an increase," said Connie Cronley, epidemiology nurse for the Knox Count Health Department.
She recommends getting the flu vaccine and washing your hands several times a day to stay well.
"We feel it's never too late to get the flu shot. Each year the flu changes a little bit," she said.
Dr. Wilkinson said most viruses can be treated at home with rest and hydration.
"Cold symptoms by themselves may not warrant a visit to see me, but cold symptoms with a fever, certainly a kid who has asthma, who seems to be wheezing or having trouble breathing certainly that would be a reason to come in," he said.
Doctors and nurses say to stay home from school, work and even church if you're sick. Be sure not to go back until you've been fever free for 24 hours. That will help keep sickness from spreading.

A new family has moved into an unusual spot in a Plano neighborhood -- they're living in the storm drain.
It's a family of bobcats, and their human neighbors recently captured incredible video of the mom and her three cubs.
Tiran Raz was in the car with his two young children when he captured the elusive bobcats on his cell phone. First the cubs appear, and then finally, from the storm drain, Mom appears.
The family of four was out in broad daylight and took off on a leisurely stroll.
The whole thing unfolded about 20 yards from Raz's front door.
"I was so surprised," he said. "It was so beautiful, but on the other hand, if the kids were here with the dog, I don't know what would happen."
Raz says over the last few years, he's noticed evidence of bobcats near his home in the 8400 block of Brooksby Drive, and called Plano Animal Control.
Animal control officials say they field a fair amount of calls about bobcats, but it's against their policy to capture and relocate them because of a high likelihood the cats will die in the first couple of weeks in new surroundings.
A bobcat was spotted in central Plano in August just north of Raz's neighborhood, and in February, two male bobcats were caught on video in Carrollton hissing, growling and squabbling over territory at the start of mating season, according to a wildlife specialist.
Plano Animal Control says the animals are not a threat to humans or children.
"We were all shocked," said Raz. "I mean, it was like a lion."
But Raz is still concerned for his 8-month-old Chihuahua, Peanut, and his kids. He's decided the kids won't be walking the dog alone at night.

PF: Hunted Sorcerers - Swapping Wis for Cha for Marvel Mutant Madness!
While having a discussion about sorcerer's vs wizards, it inevitably became an analysis of casters that use CHA as their primary spell casting ability. The fluff for why CHA was the primary representation of a caster's ability has always been generally hand-waved and ignored, mostly because we never felt it was that important.
I changed CHA over to WIS and felt that it was a better fit, based off of the ability descriptions for both stats as well as the description given for Sorcerer. I wonder if it would be a suitable Archetype, the idea being that similar to the mutants in Marvel's universe (the easiest comparison I could think of) they would need to learn self-control. The Sorcerer has to learn to control their abilities unless they hurt someone by accident (basic control assumed at level 1, but the potential for accidents in backstory is there) and as they become more experienced they learn how to control higher level spells.
What I'm stuck on:
I wish to use this idea for a campaign setting, with wizards and clerics being the primary casters whilst sorcerer's are hunted or killed. I'm considering what sort of organizations would be in place in a world like this, and what safety measures would be taken by those that are anti-sorcery and those that are pro. I've yet to decide who the BBEG is going to be, mostly because I think I will leave that up to the party's decisions once they are fairly developed in-game. It could be a freedom seeking Sorcerer, a stern and rigidly conservative Wizard, a monstrosity from beyond that cares very little about magical politics and is threatening to destroy everything anyway, or something else entirely.
I am also pondering ideas for players that wish to be sorcerer's, so that they can be playable without having the entire arcane world immediately attempting to kill them. I've yet to decide what the level and population cap will be that I'm putting on the caster NPC's, since it doesn't make sense at all for them to not have the sorcerer thing nipped in the bud if there's twenty or so 14th+ level wizards running around. I'm planning on running this as high as 10th level, however my group is unusually clever and lucky, and I've seen them take out encounters that were -far- above their range.
Current options I've thought of for sorcerer PC's who aren't killed:
- Having their magic "permanently" removed by wizarding community (restored by Mysterious Patron)
- Having a magic nullifer attached, either big and obvious as a warning or subtle that it passes off as stylish jewelry. Possibly both. Either way, only allows casting by allowance of a Commanding Officer (if military), prevents accidental magical discharge, prevents magic altogether whilst in any given area (town, nation, etc), or all three and then some.
- Being trained by respected authorities such as the government or World Renowned Wizard Organization
- Being trained by illegal authorities/organizations who fight for sorcerer's freedoms and rights
- Running and hiding and trying to keep their magic or source of their magic a secret, possibly trying to pass off as bards, wizards, clerics, witches, or whatever.
Other relevant info:
-Firearms are between Emerging and Commonplace depending on where you go. A few powerful bandits will have them, most national militaries will have them in some form, and at least one organization (national or private) will be technologically advanced enough to have access to advanced firearms.
-Magic level is common but low-mid level. Bags of holding are common knowledge, but they're expensive luxuries for the upper-middle and above class. Casters are similar to our highly paid professional athletes, highly skilled and learned professionals like doctors/pilots/lawyers, and celebrities. They're known and can make life easier for people who can afford them, but they aren't all over the place and are probably in the bigger cities earning a living with wealthy Houses, businesses, or the ruling class itself. Obviously the higher in level the better their wage and the rarer their number.
- The Gods exist, but treat the world and their worshipers like a pet shop. They'll give the clerics what they ask for, make sure that nothing severely catastrophic is happening, but largely ignore things unless they are amused/bored/showing off. They have more important things to do, like napping, creating new realities, or dealing with problems of godlike scale that doesn't directly affect the Material Plane.Remember kids, always eat your veggies and drink plenty of milk.

Blue Hawaii is not a great movie by any means, but it's so amiable and ingratiating that most people will be willing to overlook its flaws and just let it wash over them. Its flaws are certainly many, starting with a screenplay that is filled with clichés and trite dialogue, and features a fairly hoary basic premise and a plot that thinks nothing of coming to a dead halt so that Elvis Presley can sing and swing through a number. Yet there's also lightheartedness to the whole enterprise that keeps it afloat. Clearly, the main attractions here are Presley and the setting, and the film doesn't stint on either one. Presley's in practically every scene, and he excels at this kind of role: slightly rebellious, but for the right reasons; easygoing, but determined; and always ready to break out the guitar and jam with his friends. And while there are plenty of scenes that are clearly studio-bound, director Norman Taurog also makes sure that he doesn't neglect the "travelogue" aspect of the film. Throw in "Can't Help Falling in Love," "Rock-a-Hula Baby," the title number, and a healthy heaping of other songs, and you've got an entertaining, unchallenging way to pass the time.
