Pit bulls must pass a test to avoid muzzles
The Nebraska Humane Society is offering "good citizen" classes for pit bulls to allow owners to comply with Omaha's new muzzle law.
The Omaha ordinance, which takes effect in January, requires all pit bulls in the city to be muzzled in public unless they pass a canine "good citizen" test, KETV in Omaha, reported Thursday.
"They have to be able to put up with distractions, loud noise, somebody running and they have to be allowed to walk on a loose leash," trainer Cathy Guinane said of the "good citizen" test.
The Humane Society said 10 pit bulls have already taken the $10 class and passed the test allowing them to go muzzle-free. The society said about 40 dogs are currently enrolled in the class, which officials said they will continue to offer for the next several weeks.

Little boys are getting their pee-pee smashed by toilet seats
Little boys are being admitted to hospital suffering crush injuries to their penises when heavy toilet seats drop on them, doctors have warned.

The injuries were serious enough to require an overnight stay in hospital but did not leave lasting damage, they said.

Boy survives arrow shot through the eye
A schoolboy archer had a narrow escape after being shot through the eye by a friend.
The arrow went through 11-year-old sharp shooter Liu Cheong's eye socket, completely through his head and was only stopped by the back of his skull.
"If the arrow had been shot with just a bit more force, it would have come out the back of his head," said doctors at Jida Hospital in Changchun, eastern China.
The boy only survived because the arrow had miraculously missed his brain.

Mistake could have had serious consequences
Catherine Roots had been expecting a horse harness in the post, instead she opened her package to find a Heckler & Koch black submachine gun.
The package was delivered by a courier to Mrs Roots when it should have been sent to firearms officers at the nearby police headquarters.
She called the station and two armed officers turned up and took it away.
Police later explained a gun supply company made a mistake with the postcode when they sent it to Dorset Police in Winfrith near Dorchester.
Instead of writing down DT2 8DZ a clerk put Mrs Roots' postcode of DT2 8DT on the package.

NO MORE
Council chiefs have sworn to stamp out town center swearing in a poster campaign against anti-social behavior.
Zero tolerance for bad language is being spelled out in signs and banners across Preston in Lancashire, laying out "Rules 'Round Town" in slang terms such as "No 'Effin & 'Jeffin". But the phrase will probably baffle even the sober as it is slang used in the USA's Deep South to describe someone who is useless and grumpy at work because they are hung over and appears to have been picked just because it rhymes. Clearer messages are "No Pavement Pizza" which depicts a character being sick in the street and "Don't Pee Anti-Social" which shows someone urinating.
The Respect Our City campaign is designed to reduce swearing, spitting, litter dropping and dog fouling. Police can give out fixed penalty notices of up to £80 while council officers can impose £75 on-the-spot fines for litter.
