Lancaster County Sheriff's deputies who stopped an Omaha man's car in a random traffic stop Thursday morning found a woman being held against her will in the passenger seat, the sheriff alleged. When deputies approached the car, a woman in the passenger seat handed over an envelope thought to be the vehicle's paperwork — but first scrawled a message to deputies: that she was being held against her will, Wagner said. The woman called 911 in Sarpy County, Wagner said, but deputies didn't know that when they stopped Woods' car north of Lincoln. The woman had marks on her body thought to have been caused by domestic abuse at the hands of Woods, the sheriff alleged. And the 23-year-old had threatened to shoot the woman and himself with a gun he claimed was in the car, Wagner said.

The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party won two of three byelections yesterday, both in the capital city of Regina, by decisive margins, neither of which have been held by the Party in over a decade. The ruling Saskatchewan Party held the third seat, in a rural area of the province.

Like every movie, as well as the original TV series in the 1960s, it has the same iconic theme song, composed by composer Lalo Schifrin, and if you mention the term "Mission: Impossible", you would remember the theme as well. But is it true that the theme song contains a "secret code"? VERDICT:TRUEThe main theme has Morse code written into it - a form of communication that uses a series of long and short signals, represented by dots and dashes, to convey letters and numbers. In Morse code, the letter "M" is represented by two dashes (--), while the letter "I" is represented by two dots (..). - The jazzy theme was also written in the 5/4 time signature, which is unusual but popular in classical music.
