Oklahoma Extreme Weather

People in two states were taking shelter amid wailing warning sirens Sunday as tornadoes were confirmed to have touched down in Kansas and Oklahoma as part of an extreme weather system plowing through the nation's midsection.

KFOR in Oklahoma reports that there is damage after an apparent tornado hit the ground near Shawnee, Oklahoma on Sunday.
The system, which stretched from North Texas to Minnesota, also heaved hail -- dime to softball sized -- as well as heavy rainfall.
Residents in downtown Wichita, Kan., were told to seek shelter Sunday afternoon after a tornado was confirmed on the ground – with its presence cloaked by thick thunder clouds and heavy rain.
Near Oklahoma City, a half-mile wide tornado was reported, prompting a stark alert from the Weather Service: "You could be killed if not underground or in a tornado shelter," the advisory said.
The National Weather Service in Wichita warned of a large and “extremely dangerous and potentially deadly” tornado late Sunday.  Weather spotters confirmed the tornado 7 miles northwest of Haysville and moving northeast at 30 mph, the Weather Service said.
The tornado later passed south of the city in Sedgwick County in southern Kansas but rain and thunderstorms continued to batter the area, NBC station KSN TV in Wichita reported.

The warning, which covered downtown Wichita as well as the surrounding area that includes Haysville, was lifted in early evening, KSN reported.
Power lines were down and at least three homes were damaged near Wichita, one with its roof blown off, KSN reported. Authorities said there were no injuries to report.
Other tornadoes were confirmed near Udall and Emporia, and danger remained in many parts of south central Kansas with residents told to seek refuge in storm shelters.
At least one tornado was confirmed on the ground near Oklahoma City, NBC station KFOR reported. The Weather Service reported it was confirmed by spotters near Luther and was moving east at 30 mph. Tornado warnings were in effect for Lincoln and other northeastern Oklahoma counties.
The Lincoln County sheriff's office reported damage from three tornadoes that touched down, but the extent of the damage was not immediately known.  There was no word of injuries from the storms as of Sunday evening.
The weather outlook across Middle America looks stormy with the Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., forecasting tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds over parts of the central Plains on Sunday.

Some of the largest cities in the Midwest are under alert in what could be a long night for the country's heartland, The Weather Channel's Kelly Cass reports.
Eastern Kansas, Western Missouri, Southern Nebraska, Central and Northeast Oklahoma were the areas most likely to be hit by the severe weather.
Low pressure in the Plains states will keep things "very unsettled and stormy" as the week goes on, The Weather Channel reported.
On Monday, the severe storms threat moves down to North Texas and Oklahoma, through northwest Arkansas, southeast Kansas and Missouri into parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes, according to the Weather Channel. Large hail and damaging winds are also possible.
By Tuesday the large  system is expected to be moving slowly to the East, from eastern Texas to the southern Great Lakes.

The storms are being generated by a dip in the jet stream combined with moisture moving north from the Gulf of Mexico, Kim Cunningham of The Weather Channel reported on NBC Nightly News.
The danger follows a series of tornadoes that struck northern Texas on Wednesday night, leaving six people dead and dozens injured. One of the twisters was preliminarily classified EF-4 by the National Weather Service, meaning it could have had winds up to 200 miles per hour.
Overall, tornadic activity has been slow this May, typically a bad month for twisters, said the Weather Channel’s Tom Moore.

Jodi Arias Found Guilty - May Face death Penalty

A jury in Phoenix on Wednesday found Jodi Arias guilty of first-degree murder of her on-and-off lover, Travis Alexander, in a sensational trial that gained international attention over several months.

She said in a post-conviction interview that she preferred a death sentence, the Associated Press reported Wednesday evening.

The jury next must decide whether Arias, who choked back tears as the verdict was read, deserves the death penalty or life in prison.

The 12 jurors reached a verdict after deliberating less than three full days. The trial, which began Jan. 2, gained notoriety for its accounts of gore and sex.

Alexander's brothers and sisters issued a statement saying they "are in agreement with the jury's verdict of guilty.'' They said they plan to file a wrongful death civil suit against Arias.

Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery issued a statement after the verdict was read, saying, "We look forward to the next phase of the proceedings, where the state will present evidence to prove the murder was committed in an especially heinous, cruel, or depraved manner.''

Prosecutor Juan Martinez argued that the murder on June 4, 2008, was premeditated.

Martinez offered circumstantial evidence to try to convince the jury:

• Arias dyed her hair to disguise herself before she drove to Mesa. Her attorneys said she did so long before the trip.

• Arias rented a car to avoid detection and didn't want to drive her own car, which was red, because it might attract police attention. She and her attorneys claimed she drove a rental because her own car couldn't make the trip.

• She removed the front license plate of the rental car and attached the rear plate upside down to avoid detection.

• She took two or three gas cans in her car to avoid a paper trail of gas receipts in Arizona. Arias claimed she was afraid of running out of gas in remote areas, such as the national parks she said she planned to visit to add to her photographer's portfolio.

• A gun stolen from her grandfather was the same caliber as the gun that killed Alexander. Arias claimed she pulled Alexander's own gun from the top shelf of his closet. Martinez pointed out that none of Alexander's friends knew him to have a gun.

• That there were three potentially fatal wounds — one stab wound, the gunshot and a slit throat — could indicate that Arias had time to reflect on what she was doing.

Spectators in the courtroom gasped when the verdict was read. Family members of both the victim and the defendant shed tears.

Outside the courthouse, crowds cheered.

Defense attorneys contended that Arias killed Alexander in June 2008 in an unplanned fit of rage as she reacted to what attorneys portrayed as his pattern of emotional and physical abuse.

It had cost Maricopa County taxpayers at least $1.7 million as of late April to defend Arias.


Lesley Webster hosts USA NOW for May 8, 2013, covering the Joday Arias trial. The jury found Arias guilty of first-degree murder of her on-and-off lover, Travis Alexander.

Arias spent 18 days on the witness stand testifying in her defense. She and her lawyers contended it was the culmination of a relationship in which she was emotionally, physically and sexually abused by Alexander.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Tuesday that she believes Arias is guilty, but she did not cite first-degree murder or a lesser charge. A first-degree murder conviction and death sentence could one day put a commutation request on the desk of an Arizona governor.

Woman eaten by vultures

The body of a woman who died after falling off a cliff in France was devoured by vultures in just 45 minutes, before rescue workers were able to reach the body.

The 52-year-old woman was hiking with two friends in the French Pyrenees on April 14 when she fell off a cliff and plunged more than 980 feet to her death, according to France's TF1. The woman's body was eaten by vultures in minutes.

“There were only bones, clothes and shoes left on the ground,” Major Didier Pericou told The Times of London. "They took 45 to 50 minutes to eat the body." Adding, "When we first went out in the helicopter looking for the body, we saw numerous vultures without realizing what they were doing."

The Times notes this incident may ignite the cries of area farmers who want permission to shoot the griffon vultures, a protected species. Farmers claim the ban has led to a swell in the vulture population and their livestock is being threatened. The birds have been deprived of animal carcasses due to a European law that requires farmers to burn the bodies of dead animals.

Approximately 42 claims have been been made to local authorities for compensation for animals lost to vultures, according to Metro. Farmer Alain Larraide claimed he has seen vultures carry off live animals.

“You can’t imagine what it is like to see an animal eaten alive,” he said.

A 2011 report published in the science journal Nature revealed that the griffon vulture had turned from scavenger to predator in regions of southern France and Spain. Between 2006 and 2010 there were 1,165 reports of the bird of prey killing domestic livestock.

Lyndon Says:   it might not look very pretty but this is natures way of cleaning up after an accident.

Man loses life savings on carnival game, takes home nothing but a giant stuffed banana with dreadlocks.

A New Hampshire man lost $2,600—his life savings—on a carnival game called Tubs of Fun. Thirty-year-old Henry Gribbohm was hoping to win an XBox Kinect at the game, which you play by throwing plastic balls into a plastic tub. Gribbohm was awesome at the game during his practice throws but then, he says, something changed, and the balls kept popping out. "It's not possible that it wasn't rigged," Gribbohm insists.
Yet despite realizing this (and apparently forgetting that a brand new XBox 360 costs less than $200), Gribbohm kept throwing money down the toilet, blowing through the $300 he had on him, then going to get his remaining $2300 and giving that money to the Tubs of Fun man, too. Gribbohm just wanted to have a nice time with his family, but instead his day was totally ruined by a sneaky game and his own insane lack of self-control. Eventually, Gribbohm confronted the Tubs of Fun guy and went home with $600 and a novelty stuffed banana with dreadlocks. While we're sorry the dude lost all his money, we think he can make it all back by selling a calendar of images of himself and his banana. We'd buy it.

Nancy Grace gets caught out

Yes, those are all the same cars. Apparently they thought we wouldn't notice because Nancy is on the right side of the screen, when in reality she is to Asleigh Banfield's left. See The Atlantic Wire's excellent breakdown of the shots to see exactly what happened. Tricky, CNN, very tricky. We understand, though. When a major crime story like the Cleveland Kidnapping breaks, you have to send in Nancy Grace.

However, since Nancy Grace is a poorly-medicated vengeance demon who's always just a bad morning away from ending up on her own show, you also send in a real anchor with whom she can "correspond." Unfortunately, it's hard to get shooting permits in Cleveland on short notice, so you set up in the same parking lot. Do us a favor, CNN, just put them next to each other and have them talk into each other's faces instead of relaying their words through satellites to come back down 30 feet away like we're idiots.

The Benefits Of e-Cigarettes

SOME inventions are so simple, you have to wonder why no one has come up with them before. One such is the electronic cigarette. Smoking tobacco is the most dangerous voluntary activity in the world. More than 5m people die every year of the consequences. That is one death in ten. People smoke because they value the pleasure they get from nicotine in tobacco over the long-term certainty that their health will be damaged. So it seems rational to welcome a device that separates the dangerous part of smoking (the tar, carbon monoxide and smoke released by the process of combustion) from the nicotine. And that is what an e-cigarette does. It uses electricity from a small battery to vaporise a nicotine-containing solution, so that the user can breathe it in.

E-cigarettes do not just save the lives of smokers: they bring other benefits too. Unlike cigarettes, they do not damage the health of bystanders. They do not even smell that bad, so there is no public nuisance, let alone hazard, and thus no reason to ban their use in public places. Pubs and restaurants should welcome them with open arms.

                                                                           
                                                                                       
                                                               


No wonder the e-cigarette market is growing. Though still small compared with that for real smokes, it doubled in America last year and is likely to do so again in 2013 (see article).

Who could object? Quite a lot of people, it seems. Instead of embracing e-cigarettes, many health lobbyists are determined to stub them out. Some claim that e-cigarettes may act as “gateways” to the real thing. Others suggest that the flavourings sometimes added to the nicotine-bearing solution make e-cigarettes especially attractive to children—a sort of nicotine equivalent of “alcopop” drinks. But these objections seem to be driven by puritanism, not by reason. Some health lobbyists are so determined to prevent people doing anything that remotely resembles smoking—a process referred to as “denormalisation”—that they refuse to endorse a product that reproduces the pleasure of smoking without the harm.

In some places politicians and other busybodies are listening. Several countries (including Austria and New Zealand) restrict the sale of e-cigarettes, for example by classifying them as medical devices; others (Brazil and Singapore) ban them altogether. Some airlines, too, ban passengers from using e-cigarettes on their planes.

                                                                           
                                                                                       
                                                               


We don’t mind if you do
This is wrong. Those charged with improving public health should be promoting e-cigarettes, not discouraging their use. Of course, e-cigarettes should be regulated. Nicotine is an addictive drug, and should therefore be kept out of the hands of children. E-cigarettes should be sold only through licensed outlets, and to adults. It would also be a good idea to do some proper research on them. Nicotine is, after all, a poison (its real purpose is to stop insects eating tobacco plants), so there may be some residual risk to users. But nicotine poisoning is pretty low on the list of bad things that ordinary cigarettes are accused of. Some researchers reckon nicotine to be no more dangerous than caffeine, which coffee plants similarly employ as an insecticide.

The right approach is not to denormalise smoking, but to normalise e-smoking. Those who enjoy nicotine will be able to continue to use it, while everyone else will be spared both the public-health consequences of smoking and the nuisance of other people’s smoke. What’s not to like?

Operation Yewtree - British Celebrities Arrested For Sex Offences

If you follow the UK news you will have seen in the last few months a focus on sex offenders; in particular those with a celebrity status. It all started with the late Jimmy Savile and because of the horrors that were uncovered, going back over almost 50 years of his career, Operation Yewtree was set up.

It seems that almost daily a new suspect is identified. About a dozen men, mostly in their 70's and 80's have been arrested and questioned under Operation Yewtree and most of them are connected in that they worked for the BBC in the past. Another two stars of a soap on the 'other side' (ITV) have recently been arrested and charged with alleged sex offences against minors. Neither has been convicted at this stage.

All this set me to wondering why. Why are all these TV stars and people who are in the media being accused of offenses of a sexual nature; a fair proportion of which are with children under the age of consent? Is there a connection between celebrity status and this kind of behaviour? Or is it simply that there are so many sex offenders out there that some of them are bound to have celebrity status?

Operation Yewtree
Operation Yewtree is a police investigation into alleged sexual abuse, predominantly the abuse of children, by the British media personality Jimmy Savile (who died in 2011) and others. The investigation led by the Metropolitan Police Service started in October 2012. After a period of assessment it became a full criminal investigation, involving inquiries into living people as well as Savile.

On 19 October 2012 the Metropolitan Police reported that more than 400 lines of enquiry had been assessed and over 200 potential victims had been identified. By 19 December, eight people had been questioned; the total number of alleged victims was 589, of whom 450 alleged abuse by Savile. The report of the investigations into the activities of Savile himself was published, as Giving Victims a Voice, in January 2013. Operation Yewtree continued as an investigation into others linked with, or independent of, Savile.

Jimmy Tarbuck

The comedian Jimmy Tarbuck has been arrested in connection with a historical child sex abuse inquiry and released on bail, it was reported last night.

The 73-year-old comedian was detained at his home in Kingston upon Thames, south-west London, and questioned for several hours following an arrest on Friday 26 April.

The arrest arises from allegations made to Scotland Yard officers working on Operation Yewtree, set up after the revelations about Jimmy Savile’s sex abuse.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said last night that the arrest did not fall under the Operation Yewtree investigation but that information received in light of the inquiry had been passed on.

A statement from North Yorkshire police last night said: “We can confirm that a 73-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a historic child sex abuse investigation in Harrogate. He was released on police bail pending further enquiries.'

Jimmy Savile

Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile OBE KCSG[2] (31 October 1926 – 29 October 2011), known professionally as Jimmy Savile, was an English DJ, television presenter, media personality and charity fundraiser. He hosted the BBC television show Jim'll Fix It, was the first and last presenter of the long-running BBC music chart show Top of the Pops, and raised an estimated £40 million for charities. After his death, however, hundreds of allegations of child sex abuse and rape became public, leading the police to believe that Savile was a predatory sex offender, and may have been one of Britain's most prolific sexual offenders.

Savile was conscripted to work in the coal mines as a Bevin Boy during the Second World War. He began a career playing records in, and later managing, dance halls. His media career started as a disc jockey at Radio Luxembourg in 1958 and on Tyne Tees Television in 1960, and he developed a reputation for eccentricity and his flamboyant character. At the BBC, he presented the first edition of Top of the Pops in 1964 and broadcast on BBC Radio 1 from 1968. Between 1975 and 1994 he presented Jim'll Fix It, a popular television programme in which he arranged for the wishes of viewers, mainly children, to come true. During his lifetime, he was noted for fundraising and supporting charities and hospitals, in particular Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor Hospital in Berkshire. He was described in The Guardian as a "prodigious philanthropist" and was honoured for his charity work.  He was awarded the OBE in 1971 and was knighted in 1990.

In October 2012, almost a year after his death, an ITV documentary examining claims of sexual abuse against Savile led to broad media coverage and a substantial and rapidly growing body of witness statements and sexual abuse claims, including accusations against public bodies for covering up or failure of duty. Scotland Yard launched a criminal investigation into allegations of child sex abuse by Savile over six decades, describing him as a "predatory sex offender", and later stated that they were pursuing over 400 lines of inquiry based on the testimony of 300 potential victims via fourteen police forces across the UK. By late October 2012, the scandal had resulted in inquiries or reviews at the BBC, within the National Health Service, the Crown Prosecution Service, and the Department of Health. A joint report by the NSPCC and Metropolitan Police, "Giving Victims a Voice", stated that 450 people had made complaints against Savile, with the period of alleged abuse stretching from 1955 to 2009 and the ages of the complainants at the time of the assaults ranging from 8 to 47. The suspected victims included 28 children aged under 10, including 10 boys aged as young as 8. A further 63 were girls aged between 13 and 16 and nearly three-quarters of his victims were under 18. Some 214 criminal offences were recorded, with 34 rapes having been reported across 28 police forces.

Gary Glitter
(born Paul Francis Gadd, 8 May 1944) is an English former glam rock singer-songwriter and musician.
Glitter first came to prominence in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. He had a long solo UK chart run during the 1970s, with several hits including "Rock and Roll, Parts One and Two", "I Love You Love Me Love", "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" and "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again". Between 1972 and 1995, Glitter had 26 hit singles which spent a total of 180 weeks in the UK Top 100; twelve of those reached the Top 10, with three charting at number 1. He continued to record in the 1980s and 1990s, with his 1984 song "Another Rock n' Roll Christmas" becoming one of the most played Christmas hits of all time. He released seven studio albums, and at least 15 greatest hits collections or live albums. In 1998, his recording of "Rock and Roll" was listed as one of the top 1,001 songs in music history. The mostly instrumental "Rock and Roll, Part 2" has been played as a popular cheering song at American sporting events for several decades.

Glitter's various criminal behaviours have generated significant press coverage and instigated a fall from grace that the BBC described as "spectacular". He was convicted three times for driving under the influence, the last of which of which led to a 10-year driving ban in the 1980s; he narrowly escaped a prison term. The late 1990s saw Glitter's image become irreparably tarnished, following his 1997 arrest and 1999 conviction for possession of child pornography in the United Kingdom. In 2006, a court in Vietnam found him guilty of committing obscene acts with minors.  These convictions effectively ended his long career and turned the once-popular entertainer into a prominent hate figure. In October 2012, Glitter was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, an extensive police investigation into alleged sexual abuse dating back to the 1950s.

Rolf Harris

Rolf Harris has been arrested by police investigating historic sex abuse allegations following the Jimmy Savile scandal, according to a report in the Sun.

The 83-year-old Australian, a TV fixture for decades for his music, art and as a presenter of TV shows about animals, first came to Britain more than 60 years ago.

A spokesperson for the Met said: "We are not discussing the name of the individual."

Harris was originally interviewed under caution by Scotland Yard officers on Operation Yewtree last November, five days after they visited his home in Berkshire when he was not there. The Met said in an earlier statement: "The man from Berkshire was interviewed under caution on suspicion of sexual offences after attending south London police premises by appointment. On 24 November 2012 officers had executed a search warrant at an address in Berkshire."

It is understood that Harris was arrested last month but not charged with any offence. He has been bailed until May.

The entertainer, made a CBE in 2006 and Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen's birthday honours last year, had been named in blogs and social media but not by mainstream media until Friday. Harris, one of 12 people arrested under Operation Yewtree, has made no public comment.

After Harris's arrest in March days before his 83rd birthday, a Scotland Yard spokesman said: "An 82-year-old man from Berkshire was arrested by officers on Operation Yewtree on suspicion of sexual offences. He has been bailed to a date in May pending further inquiries.

"The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'others'."

These are individuals who have come to police attention as part of the Operation Yewtree investigation into Jimmy Savile but whose alleged offences are not connected to Savile.

Harris's hits include Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport and a version of Stairway to Heaven, and he painted an official portrait of the Queen for her 80th birthday.

Several high-profile figures have been arrested in connection with the investigation including the PR consultant Max Clifford, the comedian Freddie Star, the radio DJ Dave Lee Travis, the former TV producer Wilfred De'Ath and the comedian Jim Davidson. They all deny any wrongdoing and De'Ath was released without charge last month.

Jim Davidson

The probe was sparked by the Savile scandal but Davidson's alleged crimes are not linked to those of the paedophile Top Of The Pops presenter.  He said: 'These last six months have been the worst of my life, my life has been ruined. But I know she has to keep up the lie, I just have to keep telling the truth.

'I have been rearrested, which means you turn up thinking the first two allegations are gonna be dropped and another f*****g load of s**t drops on you from 1978.
'I don't know what I was doing in 1978, I don't even know what wife I was with then.'



He laughed off sex attack claims made against him when he told fans at his stand-up gig that police had gone 'mental' because they had failed to catch pop paedophile Jimmy Savile.
The former Big Break star, 59, was held as he answered bail on Wednesday, two months after he was seized at Heathrow.
Following his latest grilling the ex-Generation Game host again continued to 'vigorously' deny all the claims.
Earlier he stunned the audience telling them he "only sh****d old slappers' rather than children.
He added: 'Me and you women are through, I'm not even gonna take my f*****g c*** out for a piss anymore.
'Do you think the police have gone mental?

'I met Jimmy Savile, if he arrived you f*****d off, and now the git drops dead and Operation Yewtree decide to prove a point.


'They say 'we missed Jimmy Savile, now were gonna arrest every other f****r that walks the planet'.
'You know me though, you've heard all the jokes, you've seen all the stuff you know more about me than I do, you certainly know more than the cops.'
The original allegations were made by two women who accused him of molesting them.
Scotland Yard have confirmed a 59-year-old had been 'arrested on suspicion of sexual offences' as part of Operation Yewtree.
The probe was sparked by the Savile scandal but Davidson's alleged crimes are not linked to those of the paedophile Top Of The Pops presenter.
The new claims against the five-times wed comic emerged a week after DJ Dave Lee Travis, 67, was also rearrested. He too denies wrongdoing.
London-born Davidson was again bailed by police until May. He is one of 11 suspects so far in the Yewtree inquiry.
Davidson's lawyer Henri Brandman stressed the comic had not been charged with an offence telling reporters: 'He answered police questions as fully as he is able.'

Michael Le Vell

Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell has made his first appearance at crown court today accused of 19 child sex crimes and was told he will stand trial in September.

The star, who plays car mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV soap, has been charged with 19 offences including six counts of raping a child, six allegations of indecently assaulting a child and seven counts of sexual activity with a child.

The 48-year-old appeared at Manchester Crown Court under his real name of Michael Turner and did not enter a plea but has 'vigorously' denied the alleged sex crimes.
As he left court and walked to his car, the star smiled at the large group of photographers and camera crews that mobbed him and joked: 'It's an early finish for you lot, innit?' He made no other comments.


During today's preliminary hearing, which lasted about 10 minutes, Le Vell, wearing a dark pinstripe suit, white shirt and black tie, spoke only to confirm his name.

Six members of his family sat in the public gallery of the packed courtroom.
Le Vell has not yet entered a plea but has stated publicly that he is innocent and will fight the allegations through the courts.

Prosecutor Eleanor Laws told Judge Michael Henshell that a plea hearing will take place on May 17 followed by a two to three-week trial starting on September 2.
Alisdair Williamson, defending, asked for an earlier trial date, saying: 'Mr Turner has had this hanging over his head for 18 months.'

But Judge Henshell said the September date should be fixed and granted the actor bail until the plea hearing, at the same court, in May.

Asked by the judge if he understood, Le Vell nodded and said 'Thank you', before leaving the dock.

Freddie Starr
Comic Freddie Starr was arrested again today after fresh sex claims were made against him.

The 70-year-old was quizzed by officers from Operation Yewtree, the probe into the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal.

Starr was held today when he answered bail over his first arrest in November.

Scotland Yard said a man had been “further arrested on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with further allegations made to Operation Yewtree”.

The force’s investigation has been split into three strands – allegations against Savile, against Savile and others, and allegations against others.

A Met spokesman said today’s arrest was part of the “others” category.

He added: “He was initially arrested on suspicion of sexual offences under ‘Savile and others’ and answered bail.

"He was further arrested on suspicion of sex offences in connection with Operation Yewtree but under the ‘others’ strand.”

Starr was bailed until June.

The comedian was originally interviewed last year after a woman alleged he molested her in the 1970s when she was 14.

Dave Lee Travis

Dave Lee Travis has denied any wrongdoing after he was arrested for a second time over new sex claims dating back to the 1970s and 1980s.

The former Radio 1 DJ had been previously arrested in November by police investigating Jimmy Savile amid two allegations that Travis groped or molested two women.

"He answered his bail and was re-arrested and questioned over new allegations from new victims," explained Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt.

"A number of new allegations have emerged over the past few weeks, since his initial arrest.

"More alleged victims have come forward to make complaints to Scotland Yard about alleged misbehaviour, sexual abuse, by Travis - enough for him to have been re-arrested."

It is not clear exactly how many fresh allegations the 67-year-old faces. He has since been released by police and bailed until April.

Officers are reportedly expected to make a decision on any charges by next month.

Travis denied any wrongdoing and said his conscience was "clear".

Speaking outside his home in Bedfordshire, he said: "The last four months have been extraordinary. Allegations which I strongly deny have been put to me by the police and to which I have given full and complete answers.

"I have fully co-operated and my conscience is clear."

Travis also denied any wrongdoing at the time of his first arrest, stressing the allegations against him had nothing to do with children.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said a man in his 60s from Bedfordshire had been interviewed when he answered bail on Monday.

He said the man was "further arrested on suspicion of sexual offences in connection with further allegations made to Operation Yewtree".

Police working on Operation Yewtree have said they are looking at three categories of offences - those allegedly committed by Savile alone, those allegedly committed by Savile and others, and alleged offences by others.

Bill Roache
The actor who plays Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow has been arrested over historical rape claims, according to Britain's Daily Mail.

Eighty-one-year-old actor Bill Roache, who toured New Zealand last month in supported of the Coronation Street stage play, is accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in 1967.

Lancashire Police said: ''An 81-year-old man from Wilmslow in Cheshire has this morning, Wednesday, 1st May 2013, been arrested by Lancashire Constabulary on suspicion of rape.

''The man will be interviewed at a police station in Lancashire during the course of the day.

''’The offences are alleged to have been committed in Haslingden between April and July 1967 and to involve a girl aged 15 years.

''We take all allegations of sexual abuse extremely seriously and would encourage people with any information about sexual abuse, or anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse, to come forward and report their concerns confident in the knowledge they will be investigated appropriately and with sensitivity.''

Roache's arrest is not under the jurisdiction of Scotland Yard’s Operation Yewtree, which is investigating historic sex crimes in the wake of the Jimmy Savile case.

In March, Roache was forced to apologise after an outcry over his comments suggesting the victims of sexual abuse were paying the price for actions in previous lives. He also made comments that seemed to excuse paedophilia.

The Mail understands that Roache, who has played Ken Barlow for 50 years, will not appear in Coronation Street while the investigation is underway.

Jimmy Tarbuck - Latest Operation Yewtree Sex Arrest

British comedy legend Jimmy Tarbuck has been arrested over claims he sexually abused a young boy in the 1970s.

The TV star, 73, was quizzed by cops in North Yorkshire after a tip from officers from Operation Yewtree — set up after the Jimmy Savile scandal.

The Scouser, known as Tarby, was held at his home in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, and questioned for several hours before being freed on bail.

He is accused of abusing a young boy in Harrogate in the late 1970s.
Tarbuck has been married to wife Pauline for more than 50 years and has three children, including radio DJ daughter Liza Tarbuck, 48.

The stand-up comic and TV variety host rose to fame in the 1960s and was awarded an OBE for services to show business and charity in 1994.  He was arrested on April 26 but the information was not released.

Last night he said: “I’m not commenting on this. You need to speak to my solicitor.”
He is the latest in a string of celebrities held for alleged sex offences.
Scotland Yard passed Tarbuck’s case to North Yorkshire Police after deciding it did not fall under Operation Yewtree, set up to investigate the Savile scandal.
A North Yorkshire force spokesman said: “We can confirm that a 73-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a historic child sex abuse investigation in Harrogate.
“The man was arrested in Kingston upon Thames on Friday 26 April 2013.
“Following questioning, he was released on police bail pending further enquiries. The complaint relates to an incident that occurred in the late 1970s when the victim was a young boy.
“The arrest follows information passed to North Yorkshire Police by Metropolitan Police officers working on Operation Yewtree.”

Lindsay Lohan, Brazilian helicopter exit, wardrobe malfunction, side boob exposure

Yep, it happens to most people every day of the week.  There you are casually stepping  from a helicopter in Brazil when all of a sudden your tit flops out.  And have you noticed there are always a troupe of photographers there to capture the moment.

What is all the fuss about, she carefully scoops it up and stashes  the offending hooter away, grabbing her designer handbag and waddling off down the runway.  It was Lohan’s lucky day because her long pony tail covered up enough of the offending titty to prevent full exposure.

The troubled star, who was visiting the country to promote a clothing line, was wearing a slinky gray dress as she exited a helicopter on the island of Florianopolis.

Unfortunately, the “Mean Girls” actress forgot to wear a crucial undergarment. As she stepped down, photographers caught Lindsay with her breast popped out of the low-cut frock.

Everyone thought that I Know Who Killed Me would be the most embarrassing moment of Lindsay Lohan‘s life, but she has since topped it! On March 31 the actress was climbing out of a helicopter in Brazil when her full right breast came spilling out of her dress. Poor Lindsay!


This is not the first time Lindsay has showed off her boobs however, as the former child star posed for Playboy in January 2012, and she showed off all her natural talent in a series of sexy Marilyn Monroe inspired photos.

And it’s not just full frontal boob that Lindsay likes to show off — she is a fan of sideboob too! At a dinner at the White House in April 2o12 she wore a daring black dress that revealed some sexy sideboob.

I don't think she meant to show so much this time however!

Bio

Lindsay Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress and recording artist. Lindsay began her career as a child fashion model at three years old. Her big break came when she starred in the remake of The Parent Trap, in 1998. From there, she made a number of TV movies before her next major motion picture Freaky Friday in 2003. After Mean Girls in 2004, Lindsay became a household name. Unfortunately, with the fame came constant attention from the paparazzi and the media. Lindsay released her debut album, Speak, in 2004, and it went platinum.

In 2007, two driving under the influence incidents led to Lindsay being put on probation. With three subsequent visits to rehab, Lindsay lost several movie deals. Lindsay tried regaining her acting career with roles in Ugly Betty, Labor Pains, and Machete. Legal issues stemming from probation violations and an alleged necklace theft took up most of Lindsay’s time in 2010 and 2011. Lindsay’s next role was as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime’s Liz & Dick in 2012.

Best Known For:
Aside from her 2004 hit, Mean Girls, Lindsay is best known for her troubles with the law.

Personal Life:
Lindsay reportedly dated Aaron Carter in 2002, prompting tension between her and Hilary Duff, Aaron’s on- and off-again girlfriend, who dated him before Lindsay. However, Lindsay’s first love was Wilmer Valderrama, whom she dated in 2004. Lindsay then dated Harry Morton, owner of the restaurant chain, Pink Taco, and son of former Hard Rock Cafe chain owner, Peter Morton, in 2006, and British TV personality, Calum Best, 26, in 2007. In 2008, Lindsay revealed she was in a lesbian relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson. They dated for more than a year, but their relationship proved to be toxic.

Alien encounters ‘within twenty years’

Russian scientists expect humanity to encounter alien civilisations within the next two decades, a top Russian astronomer said on Monday.

“The genesis of life is as inevitable as the formation of atoms … Life exists on other planets and we will find it within 20 years,” said Andrei Finkelstein, director of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Applied Astronomy Institute, according to the Interfax news agency.

Speaking at an international forum dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life, Finkelstein said 10% of the known planets circling suns in the galaxy resemble Earth.

If water can be found there, then so can life, he said, adding that aliens would most likely resemble humans with two arms, two legs and a head.

“They may have different colour skin, but even we have that,” he said.

Finkelstein’s institute runs a programme launched in the 1960s at the height of the cold war space race to watch for and beam out radio signals to outer space.

“The whole time we have been searching for extraterrestrial civilisations, we have mainly been waiting for messages from space and not the other way,” he said.

In March a Nasa scientist caused controversy after claiming to have found tiny fossils of alien bugs inside meteorites that landed on Earth.

Richard Hoover, an astrobiologist at the US space agency’s Marshall space flight centre in Alabama, said filaments and other structures in rare meteorites appear to be microscopic fossils of extraterrestrial beings that resemble algae known as cyanobacteria.

Writing in the Journal of Cosmology, Hoover claimed that the lack of nitrogen in the samples, which is essential for life on Earth, indicated they are “the remains of extraterrestrial life forms that grew on the parent bodies of the meteorites when liquid water was present, long before the meteorites entered the Earth’s atmosphere.”

How To Store Beer

A wise man once told me:  You never buy beer you only rent it.

Beer is the third-most widely consumed drink in the world, after water and tea. It’s also the oldest and most popular alcoholic beverage. With that kind of demand, it’s not surprising that everyone has an opinion—opinions that breed myths about the best ways to store, age, refrigerate, and drink this tasty malted beverage. But we’re here to clear that all up. Here are seven beer myths exposed to the light of truth.

1. If Cold Beer Gets Warm, Cooling It Again Will Make It Stale

Wrong! Like Valentine’s Day, this is a myth brought on by some wily marketing gurus, most likely that brand that won’t stop talking about how “cold” their beer is. The fact is, beer experiences substantial fluctuations in temperature during shipping. Of course, you don’t want these changes to be drastic, and excessive heat will certainly ruin your beer. But the notion that it can only be refrigerated once is a total myth.

2. Sunlight Skunks Beer

True! Sunlight is the nemesis of beer—not only in storage but in the fermentation process as well. Ultraviolet light, in particular, “skunks” beer. But before I explain how, it’s probably a good idea to clarify the difference between staleness and “skunkiness.”

There are “off” flavors, and then there are “skunky” flavors; the former is the result of poor carbonation or excessive heat, and the latter—an odorous, rubbery taste—is the result of a photochemical reaction. Specifically, UV light breaks up acids in the hop plant (an essential bittering agent in beer) to create a nasty little compound called “3-methylbut-2-ene-1-thiol.” or “MBT.” This wordy concoction combines with other sulfurous chemicals to create a horrid odor that is darn close that of a skunk, and even more oppressing in the realization that your precious brew has been ruined. In fact, researchers at the University of North Carolina even found a similarity between the chemical composition of skunked beer and that of the anal glands of actual skunks.

The lesson? Don’t expose your beer to excessive sunlight—or really any light for that matter. It’s just another reason to refrigerate beer, as even prolonged indirect sunlight will cause this very basic chemical reaction. Interestingly, this is not a threat with wine, cider, or mash liquor, as none of these beverages contain hops.

3. The Color of the Bottle Affects Beer’s Shelf Life

Yes and no. It’s not the color of the bottle so much as its translucence that affects beer’s long-term quality. Clear and green bottles allow in significantly more UV light than brown ones. This leads to skunking, as mentioned above. So if you were to store green or clear bottles in complete darkness, then there would be no discernible difference in shelf life from that of a brown bottle in similar conditions.

Green doesn’t necessarily mean good.
For whatever reason, green bottles are rife among European imports (Heineken, Stella Artois, Beck’s, and Pilsner Urquell, to name a few). You may even have noticed that these brews are much better on tap (from a opaque keg) than in the bottle—but you could argue the same for any beer.

Once again, this is really only a threat if you don’t refrigerate your beer, as coolers and refrigerators keep sunlight out. It is worth noting, though, that beer that’s been sitting on the store shelf for a while is at a higher risk of skunking or going stale. For this reason, most craft beers include a “freshness” tab that tells you how long it’s been since it was bottled.

4. Beer Must Be Shipped, Stored, and Aged Cold

So, so wrong. In fact, certain kinds of beer—mainly unpasteurized, bottle-conditioned craft beer—can be aged in cellars, just like wine! While cooler temperatures are ideal, most experts agree that anywhere in the 40-70 degree range is fine for dry storage—again, as long as you keep out the sunlight.

Refrigeration is a crucial part of enjoying good beer. But it’s actually discouraged when it comes to long-term storage of corked beers, used mainly for Belgian-style ales. Despite some fridges’ abilities to regulate humidity levels, Beer Advocate explains that prolonged storage in artificial cooling chambers will dry out the cork, allow small amounts of air to enter, and eventually spoil the beer. Best to age these beers in a cellar with moderate humidity, which describes pretty much every cellar ever.

5. Putting Beer in the Freezer Is an Easy Way to “Quick Chill” It

This is true, but with a caveat: Do not ever freeze beer. Anyone who’s ever put a brew in the freezer to chill it but then forgot it was in there knows how disastrous this scenario can be. 70-proof liquor (or higher) is fine, but beer will explode when frozen.

That said, placing a beer in the freezer for a few minutes should be fine. Even then you should be careful, as you may still alter the taste of the beer. According to the American Homebrewers Association, freezing beer alters the molecular structure of the proteins in the beverage. It can also reduce the carbonation level and, in the case of bottle-conditioned brew, possibly kill the yeast.

On a related note, the Eisbock style of beer (like the infamous Naty Ice) uses intentional freezing in the production process. Brewers chill the beer to the point where it partially freezes. They then remove the slushy parts, so as to create a more concentrated and alcoholic beverage (water freezes at a higher temperature than ethyl alcohol). However, this process usually reduces the hop and malt presence in favor of the alcohol itself.

But if you really want to impress your friends, the LG “Blast Chiller” is perhaps the most extravagant—and downright silly—way to cool beer quickly. Despite our well-documented enthusiasm for this awesome feature, it has yet to materialize in a commercially available refrigerator. [Update: It has materialized! LG contacted us to let us know it's been available since July. Let the good times roll.]

6. Beer Should Be Stored Upright.

True. There are a few reasons why beer should not be placed on its side, and this applies to both corked and capped bottles, and especially to bottle-conditioned brews.

First, the yeast—that magical little organism that eats sugar and poops out alcohol and carbon dioxide (the process of fermentation). Yeast is critical to beer, but the sediment it leaves behind has a way of corrupting flavor; you want the yeast sediment (dead cells and chemical byproducts) to settle at the bottom of the beer. According to Beer Advocate, prolonged storage on the side will create a “yeast ring” along the walls of the bottle. This is why there’s a separate craft to pouring beer, and why you’re supposed to decant the liquid and “filter” out the gunk at the bottom.

It’s not wine, people. Stand it up.

Second, upright storage limits the amount of beer that’s directly exposed to air (the neck of a bottle is narrower than the barrel). This slows the process of oxidation and prolongs the life of the beer.
Finally, upright storage is especially important for corked beers. When a beer is stored on its side, the cork—by virtue of being in contact with the beer—will gradually impart its own cork flavors on the beer, and some corks contain chemicals and other ingredients that will exacerbate this “corruption” of the beer.

7. Bottles Are Better Than Cans.

Wrong! Well, actually, this all comes down to personal taste. Canned beer has gotten a bad rap in recent decades because it’s often associated with mass-market, “cheap” beer. However, craft brewers are beginning to can their beer—212 breweries, according to CraftCans.com, including notable names like Sierra Nevada and Brooklyn Brewery.

Easy to open and apparently not substantially better than bottled beer. What’s not to love?
Some craft brew fanatics even swear by the distinctive flavor of canned brew. The Huffington Post even conducted a blind taste test and found participants preferred the taste of canned beer to bottled three times out of four. But putting taste aside, you can’t deny that canned beer is much easier to store and transport—not to mention, you don’t need a bottle opener.
