They’ll find in their mailboxes a bottle of pizza-scented perfume before Christmas, courtesy of Pizza Hut Canada.

The Canadian subsidiary of the Dallas-based pizza chain selected the 110 from more than 1,000 responses to a social media-based promotional campaign. The promotion was to mark Pizza Hut Canada reaching 100,000 fans on its Facebook page.

Pizza Hut Canada marketing executive Beverly D’Cruz says they created just 110 bottles of Eau de Pizza Hut. Will there be more going on department store shelves? She says only time will tell.

The Nebraska Humane Society is offering reward money for information about two dogs they suspect were poisoned.

Humane officials announced Wednesday a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the dogs’ deaths.

The dogs became ill in mid-November after being kept in their fenced-in backyard. They died a short time later.

Humane officials say a light-colored meat found in the backyard tested positive for a poisonous substance. They suspect someone may have thrown the tainted meat into the owners’ backyard.

Humane officials also say they’re investigating reports of contaminated cat food found on sidewalks in the area.

Scientists say they’ve found evidence that the moon took quite a beating in its early days.

This new view of the moon comes from detailed gravity mapping by twin spacecraft, which slipped into orbit around the body earlier this year.

Below the surface, the moon’s interior is battered and cracked. That suggests that other rocky planets including Earth would have suffered similar bombardment from space rocks early in their history.

Measurements by the NASA spacecraft called Ebb and Flow also found that the moon’s crust is much thinner than scientists thought — only about 25 miles thick.

The findings were presented Wednesday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco and published online by the journal Science.

The two men who will spend an entire year together aboard the International Space Station are already bracing for a challenging mission.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly said Wednesday it will be like spending a whole year at the office. And you never get to leave.

Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will blast off in 2015 for the longest mission ever at the space station. NASA and the Russian Space Agency want to see how all that weightlessness affects the men.

Russia already has experience with yearlong space travel. But it’s limited to the old Mir space station and more than a decade has passed.

Kelly says his 9-year-old daughter screamed “awesome” when she learned the news. Kornienko’s wife cried.

Kelly is the brother-in-law of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Officials have poisoned hundreds of starlings in the south-central Nebraska city of Grand Island, hoping to reduce the health threats posed by the bird droppings.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the toxic chemical being used won’t affect people, other animals or any other birds.

Residents are urged to use gloves or shovels when picking up and disposing of the bird carcasses.

The city began poisoning starlings back in 2005.

Health officials say starlings can spread salmonella, E. coli and West Nile and can perpetuate a fungus soil known as histoplasmosis.

Speakers split the time available at a hearing concerning a new oil pipeline route through Nebraska.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports that more than 160 people signed up to address the packed hearing in Albion on Tuesday. The public hearing was expected to be the only one on the Keystone XL pipeline route TransCanada wants to use in carrying crude oil to the Gulf Coast.

TransCanada’s Corey Goulet told the assembly that the company thought Nebraska’s review of the $7 billion, 1,700-mile project was good and the project should be approved.

But Oglala Lakota Nation Vice President Tom Poor Bear followed Goulet to the microphone to say that if the pipeline were to leak and oil were to get “in the water, our water is no good.”

The woman who was listed as the world’s oldest person has died in a Georgia nursing home at age 116.

Besse Cooper died peacefully Tuesday afternoon in Monroe, according to her son Sidney Cooper.

Cooper says his mother had been ill recently with a stomach virus, then felt better on Monday. On Tuesday he said she had her hair set and watched a Christmas video, but later had trouble breathing. He said she was put on oxygen in her room and died there about 2 p.m.

She was declared the world’s oldest person in January. In May, Guinness World Records learned that Maria Gomes Valentin of Brazil was 48 days older. Valentin died June 21.

A Guinness official says the title now belongs to 115-year-old Dina Manfredini, of Johnston, Iowa.

A rare Chinese coin worth $120 has been dropped on one of the Salvation Army’s red kettles in Omaha.

Salvation Army Lt. John Fetzer IV says the 2006 Chinese Yuan coin was donated in southwest Omaha last weekend.

The gold coin donation added some excitement to the kettle campaign. Fetzer says that generous donations like this help the group continue to serve others.

There is somewhat of a tradition of gold coin kettle donations in some parts of the country. In Chicago, for example, more than 300 gold coins have been donated over the past 25 years.

The Salvation Army hopes to raise $3.1 million through its annual holiday donation campaign in Omaha.

Nebraska health officials continue to urge people to get a flu shot after a jump of cases in Douglas County.

Officials said Tuesday that the county has 27 confirmed cases of influenza. That’s well above the normal five or fewer at this point in the season.

Douglas County Health Director Dr. Adi Pour says it’s too early to say what the jump means. But he says it’s not too late for people to get vaccinated.

Officials say the flu season lasts two to three months. It peaks around February or March.

Another Starbucks may soon pop up around the corner, with the world’s biggest coffee company planning to add at least 1,500 cafes in the U.S. over the next five years.

The plan would boost the number of Starbucks cafes in the country by about 13 percent. It is set to be announced at the company’s investor day in New York on Wednesday.

The Seattle-based company also says it will eventually serve a new brand of tea in its cafes. Rather than its Tazo tea, Starbucks is turning its attention to Teavana, which it announced it would acquire last month.

Worldwide, Starbucks says it will have more than 20,000 cafes by 2014. Much of that growth will come from China, which will surpass Canada as the company’s second-biggest market.
