Victory church pastor Rodney Locklear has been indicted. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

The stunning Wyeth-Tootle Mansion built in 1879 is located at 1100 Charles Street in St. Joseph, Missouri. It contains rentable parlors for wedding events, showers, or corporate events. Maybe because it appears so imposing, it has also hosted paranormal activity events.

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference. It's true that you might not be able to cure the ills of the world, but you can, quite easily in fact, make a huge, positive difference in the life of a cat. Best of all--you reap the rewards too.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone. It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.

For the second year in a row, Denver has ranked high on a listing of cities with bed bug infestations. It came in 15th from among more than 400 cities analyzed for problems with the blood suckers by the website Pest Gnome. The site crunched numbers regarding population density, number of multi-unit buildings and access to exterminators. From among the more than 400 cities ranked, Denver landed at 22nd for the number of accommodations, ninth for the average monthly Google searches for bed bug-related keywords during the past year, and 131st for population density.

Is life in the city contributing to psychosis in Denver?. A study published this week in JAMA Psychiatry showed urban settings contributed to more acute cases of psychosis than rural areas. “We found that compared with rural neighborhoods, neighborhoods characterized by urbanicity and environmental exposure (i.e., air and noise pollution) were unilaterally associated with more severe psychotic symptoms, but that more severe depression and anxiety symptoms were specific to individuals residing in urban neighborhoods that also had high area deprivation (i.e., poor housing conditions, health outcomes, and socioeconomic disadvantage),” according to the study. “These findings remained significant after controlling for individual-level characteristics such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, education level, and household income.”
