Pauls Valley, Okla. (KOKH) — Garvin County deputies say a woman and her friend were arrested for allegedly framing her husband with child porn. Investigators say the woman was mad at her estranged husband, took 900 screenshots of naked children with his phone, and went to the police. Documents show last month, Lacey Husks asked her friend Angel Moore to help with a revenge plot against her soon-to-be ex-husband, Brandon Husks. "This is kind of a crazy deal because there is a plot against a man over custody of children," Garvin County Sheriff Jim Mullett said. Mullett says Husks was...

Mayan elder Apolinario Chile Pixtun is so over with being asked about the end of the world, "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff." But it doesn't look as though the frantic anxiety about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 is going to let up anytime soon. With a blockbuster film entitled 2012 on the way and new websites being dedicated to the impending apocalypse every day, now, more than ever, the idea seems to be gaining momentum. But Chile Pixtun says the doomsday theories actually have their genesis in...

I just went through the process of getting my wife a new (well, 2006 anyway) car. I had wanted to save enough to pay cash but my old car wasn't going to hold out quite that long. So off to the bank to secure the extra funds. In the process I found out today that my credit score was 819. The loan officer said he'd only seen one higher score. He's young, so maybe it isn't all that great, but... What does a credit score like 819 do for me? Is there anyway I can leverage this to my advantage...

Castle reveals secrets after 900 yearsMar 24 2007 Rin Simpson, Western Mail AN ancient castle which has been off limits to the public since it was built in 1088 is about to reveal its secrets for the first time. Aberlleiniog Castle, located on the south east corner of Anglesey, has been witness to a long and fascinating series of owners and events. The little-known castle has been the site of a murder mystery, love triangles and even fatal duels, but few people are aware of its significance and no one has been allowed to visit for almost a thousand years....

About 900 illegal-immigrant rights supporters gathered at the Arizona Capitol by midday Monday in a peaceful demonstration of what protesters called government inaction on repairing America's failed immigration system. The event drew significantly fewer participants than immigrant rallies this spring, when illegal-immigrant supporters showed their political muscle at demonstrations in Arizona and across the country. The largest rally in Arizona drew 100,000 marchers on the streets of Phoenix in April. As it considers massive changes in immigration policy, Congress is divided over whether to focus solely on border security or whether to offer illegal immigrants a short-cut to become U.S....

Charles Clarke: ‘I take responsibility for it [the fiasco]’ About 160 were released without being considered for removal despite explicit recommendations by judges that they should be...

Security Sources: Egypt Frees 900 Muslim Militants CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt released 900 members of an Islamic militant group that killed 58 tourists in 1997 and helped plot the murder of president Anwar Sadat, security sources said on Tuesday. Analysts said that freeing so many members of the outlawed al-Gama'a al-Islamiya (Islamic Group), whose jailed leaders renounced violence six years ago, would help the movement gain a political voice and could strengthen the hand of more moderate Islamists in the Arab world's most populous country. News of the mass release came two days after Egypt announced it had freed Karam...
