Habits that Keep You Healthy: Wash Your Hands!
Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln had four children—only one of them lived to maturity. Diseases spread rapidly and took many lives. One of the challenges in staying alive was avoiding infection. At the time, there were very few medications. Those who survived were either lucky or increased their odds of survival by practicing good hygiene.

Lincoln and the Game of Baseball
President Lincoln was fond of playing a baseball-like game that was about half-way between Rounders and Cricket. It's been recorded that he was often found playing with the children on the White House lawn. Mary Todd also enjoyed watching her husband and children play.

Riding the Underground Railroad
Mary Todd Lincoln was First Lady during what was perhaps the most dificult period in American history, the Civil War. Before the war, which essentially ended slavery, overburdened slaves longed for freedom. Fearful of being caught and severely punished by abusive slave owners, slaves either remained as property or made the daring trek North, to Canada, so they could be free from bondage. This lesson places students within the Underground Railroad and allows them to role-play various characters so they can understand what it may have been like during this time.

A Civil War Gazette
Mary Todd Lincoln lived both during the time when national stresses and strains built up to the Civil War and during the time when the aftermath of the War changed the United States forever. She personally experienced many of these strains, especially when she was accused of favoring the South because her relatives were Confederate sympathizers. She was, however, always a supporter of emancipation.

Inventing America
Abraham Lincoln was the only president to be granted a patent, so Mary Todd Lincoln undoubtedly was familiar with the ideas and processes of invention. Even without such events going on in her own house, she was certainly aware that the time in which she was living was a momentous period, filled with a steady stream of new inventions that literally "invented" a new America—both in agriculture and in industry.

Main Street, U.S.A.
Mary Todd Lincoln spent most of her life in two small towns which are now large cities: Lexington, Kentucky and Springfield, Illinois. During her lifetime, small towns were commonplace, as was the economy that thrived in small towns.

The Rise of Native American Reservations
When Mary Todd Lincoln was First Lady, western expansion was ever increasing, which resulted in the conflict between Native Americans and those encroaching on their land. One solution to this recurring problem was the creation of reservations on which Indian tribes could live, and to which some were forcibly moved. A number of the Nation's Presidents in the 19th century, including Abraham Lincoln, created reservations for Indians in various parts of the country.

Battlefield Medicine in the Civil War: Advances Despite the Horror
The Civil War was a defining event in American history from many different perspectives. However, for the soldier on either side, all that mattered was staying alivelong enough to go home when it was over. However, the War was fought with weapons that had been improved upon since the Revolutionary War; yet, medical practice had not advanced greatly.

"Remember the Ladies…" Creating a Time Capsule on the Women's Rights Movement"
Mary Todd Lincoln lived in a period deeply entrenched in the Women's Rights Movement. The focus of this lesson is the transition for legal rights for women.

Railroads and the Great Race to Span the Continent
The railroad was the main form of mass transportation when Mary Todd Lincoln was First Lady. Before the advent of the train, people were limited in the speed, distance, and convenience they could travel throughout the U.S. The Lincolns were able to travel back and forth from Washington D.C. to Springfield, Illinois (where the Lincolns resided before the Presidency). Ironically, after Lincoln was assassinated, his body was transported back to Springfield via approximately the same route used to travel to D.C.

750ml bottle, cellared for 2 years, poured into a Bruery Tulip.
The beer pours a very dark burgundy color, hues of reds, purples and browns, very opaque. A loose, bubbly khaki head briefly appears, but vanishes quickly, leaving no lace and just a trace of film. The aroma is very red wine dominant, tannic, lightly leathery and tobacco forward, tart grape, with fruity yeast and rich malt behind it. The flavors also showcase the barrel, oak, red wine, slightly tart and acidic, but most of the tartness comes from the grapes, which are strong and fleshy, light citrus, lots of yeast, brown sugar and rich grain, but make no mistake, the red wine barrel is in full force. The body is nice, carbonation is lower, but with a nice zip to it, certainly better than previous bottles, it coats the mouth quite well and finishes with such ease.
Verdict: A lovely cellar treat. I've been sitting on this since the release and had the chance to open a bottle or two before, but time is doing this justice. The red wine character is really great, right in my wheelhouse for how I like my wine. The body could use a bit more richness, but the balance of flavors is superb.

Sampled March 2012
A steady, reasonable pour into my Lost Abbey Teku glass, produces a one-finger thick, quickly disappearing, large bubbled, amber / purple tinged dark tan colored head. The beer is a dark, concentrated plum-amber color that is approaching black. When held up to the light, the beer shows a bright, slightly hazy, red-amber hue. The aroma smells like a berry / fruit laden red wine that has been aged in oak; notes of currants, touches of prunes, some cranberry notes, and perhaps some tart plum aromatics are backed by notes of toasted oak, spicy alcohol accentuating wood, and some buttery oak touches. The malt character plays a supporting role here, but after some time it does become noticeable with a nice, toasted nut note, toasted whole grain crackers, and perhaps a touch of chewy brown bread character.
Quite tart tasting, almost, but not quite puckering in character and the finish has a solidly oaky toasted character that also is accentuated by some toasted grain notes. This is quite a bit more sour than I was expecting from the nose and I am surprised how sour a beer of this strength was able to get. The finish has a spicy oak character that accentuates a touch of alcohol heat. The tartness accentuates fruit / floral flavors of tart raisin, hibiscus, some general tart berry flavors, perhaps a touch of cranberry, red wine like Jam and concentrated berry noes, and, along with the general spiciness flavors of rose. The body of this beer is actually quite light, it does have a touch of viscosity to it that lets you know it is malt derived, but it almost does seem like a textured red wine. Along with the light body, the beer is actually fairly dry, it has perhaps a touch of caramelized sweetness left, but this is exceedingly subtle and is quite dominated by the tart, lactic, acidity; there is just enough sweetness here to accentuate and bring out the fruitiness though. The finish has subtle notes of fig, toasted whole grain toast, some carbonic bite, a woody oak flavor, and a lingering fruit character. The fruitiness here is definitely derivative of red wine grapes, and likely, more specifically Syrah.
This is definitely interesting, it wasn't at all what I was expecting; in many ways it tastes more like an oaky, fruit forward, red wine than a beer as the malt character is not all that high. It is fairly well balanced between oak notes, fruit character and tartness though, but it can seem a touch spicy and oaky in the finish at times. For me, this is definitely a beer that is a bit tastier than the sum of its components. It could use a touch more balance in the end, a roundness and melding of the components is what is really needed, and I wonder if age might help immensely with that quality.

Served in a Duvel tulip glass.
Nothin' like drinking a beer with such a froggy moniker whilst listening to the Singing Nun serenade me with "Dominique". Truth. Anyway, this stuff pours a deep ruby-brown topped by a finger of relatively short-lived cream foam. The nose comprises dark fruits, extra fig, light Temperanillo grapes, light gingerbread, and a spice mixture that includes mace, allspice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and clove. The taste brings in more of the same, with a slightly stronger red wine component and a darker char on the gingerbread. The body is a stolid medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a slightly creamy-ish feel. Overall, a solid enough BSDA, one whose red wine-ish character doesn't really jive well with its surroundings, but the rest ain't half bad at all.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Murky brown body. No head. A couple stray bubbles.
Appearance - Red wine. Vinous. Malty. A bit meaty from a sulfur aroma.
Taste - Sour. Decent right up front, but goes downhill. Sulfur flavor takes over. Unpleasant and even a bit bitter in the back.
Mouthfeel - Low carbonation. Medium heavy.
Overall - It doesn't start off terrible, but it goes downhill quickly.

Hainan Airlines has given the crew of one of its planes cash, apartments and cars worth millions after they foiled a hijack attempt. Photo: AFP
A Chinese airline awarded cash and apartments worth millions of dollars to a nine-member crew that foiled a hijack attempt last month, state media has reported.
Six Uighur men were arrested for the alleged attempt in China's far west region of Xinjiang on June 29. Two later died from injuries sustained while fighting the crew and passengers. An overseas rights group says the incident was a brawl over a seat dispute, not a hijacking attempt.
Xinjiang is home to a large population of minority Uighurs, but is ruled by China's ethnic majority Hans. Clashes are common between authorities and Uighurs resentful of government controls over their religion and culture.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported late Monday that Hainan Airlines, the parent company of the flight operator, awarded the chief flight attendant and two security guards 1 million yuan ($A156,288.40) in cash, an apartment worth 3 million yuan ($A468,865.19) and a car. The other six members each received 500,000 yuan ($A78,144.20) in cash, a 2 million yuan ($A312,576.79) apartment and a car, Xinhua reported.
All 22 passengers on the flight will receive free lifetime airfare from the airline, Xinhua said.
Earlier this month, the Civil Aviation Administration of China awarded 1 million yuan ($A156,288.40) to the entire crew. Xinjiang's regional government awarded 500,000 yuan ($A78,144.20) to be divided among the whole crew, and 100,000 yuan ($A15,628.84) each for 10 crew members and passengers.
The government of south China's Hainan province - where the airline is headquartered - awarded 500,000 yuan ($A78,144.20) to be split among the crew, and 100,000 yuan ($A15,628.84) each to the two security guards, Chinese media reported.

Jet Airways plans to hive off its customer-privilege business into a unit soon, officials of the airline said here on Tuesday. Customer-privilege business accounts for a quarter of its revenue.
The airline's Chief Executive Officer Nikos Kardassis said that the move would allow the company to focus more on enhancing revenue.
"We plan to finalise the decision in 45 days," Kardassis told reporters on the sidelines of an event. Vice- President of Marketing Manish Dureja said the airline had already got shareholders' approval for the hive-off.
Jet Airways' customer-privilege business handles its frequent-flyer programme and services like free miles offered to the customers of partner companies.
Jet Airways posted a first-quarter net profit of Rs 25 crore, after posting losses in the last five quarters.
HDFC Bank tie-up
Earlier, Jet Airways partnered with HDFC Bank to launch 'JetPrivilege-HDFC Bank Credit Card', a range of credit cards offering benefits and rewards in the form of JPMiles.
The co-branded credit cards will offer enhanced mileage earning opportunities to customers across cities in India.
The credit card with its World, Platinum and Titanium variants will be offered on the MasterCard network platform.

When Karen Olivo called from her new home in Madison, WI, to chat about life post-Broadway, she immediately explained, "Art has never been an issue." The actress posted on her personal blog March 18, 2013, that she was "transitioning" into a new phase and leaving New York City show business behind. She cited a split from her second husband, an internal struggle and tough breaks in the biz as reasons to head out of town.
Not realizing her message — intended for fans and friends — would go viral, Olivo was faced with additional anxiety before taking the final leap after closing the first Off-Broadway incarnation of the hit musical Murder Ballad. The performer, exploring new artistic freedoms, has kept a low profile since then.
She thought, "This is no way to live. This is no way to live for barely cutting it monetarily. That's when it really started to weigh on me. Something is very uneven. For what I'm putting in, I'm not getting nearly enough back. I'm not getting refilled, and I've never been one of those people [who] love to say, 'It's the applause that fills you.' That's bullshit. It actually isn't. You need a full life. You need something outside of adoration from fans and things like that because then you don't have anything to draw from when you're on stage. I realized I was depleting my life — my personal life had withered away to nothing, and here I was trying to draw from the well that had run dry."Continued...

Brent Weinbach: Brent Weinbach's stand-up comedy is weird. Brent is a winner and recipient of the Andy Kaufman Award, which is given out once a year to recognize innovation in stand-up comedy. He has appeared on Conan, Lopez Tonight, Comedy Central, HBO, IFC, and toured with the Comedians of Comedy. "...obscenely, disturbingly brilliant." -L.A.

Jacob Sirof: Jacob Sirof was born and raised in San Francisco, California during the "Comedy Boom" of the 1980's. There were few places more booming than San Francisco, so nobody was too surprised when Jacob announced at an early age that he wanted to be a comedian when he grew up. Today, Jacob still hasn't grown up, although he is a comedian. As a young adult, he started doing stand-up in his hometown, and quickly joined the ranks of a promising young crop of local talent, which has since been dubbed "The New Wave" of San Francisco comedy.

While some of the flooding is clearing in parts of North Fort Myers, Charlotte County is where record-setting rainfall has fallen -causing the flooding seen throughout parts of Charlotte and Lee Counties.
In parts of North Fort Myers, people are getting creative to get around. Residents are forced to turn to unconventional modes of transportation.
"Our pastures are flooded. I wanted to go for a ride and it's the only way to do it," said resident Lyric Goodyear.
Just across the board in Charlotte County, they are relying on four wheel drives.
"My road is under water. You can't event get a card won my road," said Charlotte County resident Nathalie Galvan.
That is where heavy rainfall caused the slow moving mass of floodwaters called sheet flow.
"The last couple years it hasn't been this bad. This year, we had those couple storm systems dump a bunch of rain two - three days in a row that put everything under," said Eric Cservak.
As the water slowly moves south to the Caloosahatchee, it's ended up in yards and roadways.
"It'd be nice to have the holes filled in to get rid of some of this water," said Cservak.
These roadways won't be getting emergency gravel.
Charlotte County doesn't have the same emergency fund Lee County used just a few miles away.
Charlotte County Director of Emergency Management Wayne Sallade said, "If we have an emergency call, medical, fire, what have you, we can get in there and it has not been a problem."
Sallade says the agency is monitoring the situation by land and air, making sure roads are passable for emergency vehicles.
So far, so good.
"Our concerns are getting thorough. That's all we worry about, getting through on those roads," said Sallade.
While floodwaters may not be a safety threat, they are an inconvenient fact of life for people living in a flood-prone area.
"It is what it is and people out here accept it for what it is. Otherwise, they move into town," said Cservak.
So what about long-term solutions?
People living here can form a taxing unit to make some of these public roads paved.
Emergency management advises against changing terrain in your yards that can impact the flow of water.
The bottom line is people here live in a flood plain and this is going to continue to happen with heavy rains.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The FBI says a black civil rights activist was killed during the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, and it suspects militant members of the American Indian Movement are responsible, according to recently released documents.
The hundreds of pages of reports provided to Buffalo, N.Y., attorney Michael Kuzma and shared with The Associated Press Wednesday shed new light on the 40-year-old case of Ray Robinson, an activist and follower of Martin Luther King Jr. But the documents fall short of pinpointing where Robinson was buried and do little to fulfill his family's wish to have the remains brought home to Detroit.
Desiree Marks, who's held out hope for 40 years that she'd see her father again, said she was crushed by the FBI's confirmation of his death.
"I've always thought that might not be the case. He may come home. He may be alive. He may, he may, he may," Marks told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "And yesterday, when I was reading the documents it was very difficult. It made it real final."
AIM co-founder Clyde Bellecourt said Wednesday that he was only in Wounded Knee for 51 days and knew nothing of Robinson.
"I don't know who he is," Bellecourt said. "I never met him. I don't know what he looks like."
Robinson, a father of three from Bogue Chitto, Ala., traveled to South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in April 1973 to stand alongside Native Americans in their fight against social injustice. The 71-day standoff between AIM members and federal agents at Wounded Knee left at least two tribal members dead and a federal agent seriously wounded. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation occupation is credited with raising awareness about Native American struggles.
The documents were released in response to Kuzma's June lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department to help Robinson's widow, Cheryl Buswell-Robinson, and their children get some closure.
Buswell-Robinson, of Detroit, said her husband's nonviolent approach conflicted with the violent situation at Wounded Knee and that it's possible AIM members suspected he was a federal informant. The personable, 6-foot-2 black man with a deep baritone voice would have stood out on a Midwest American Indian reservation, she said.
Robinson's family just wants to bring his remains home for a proper burial.
"I'd just like to have my dad. I'd like to have a place where I can sit down and talk to him and know he's there," said Marks, who also lives in Detroit.
The Robinson case, which has been opened, closed and reopened over the years, was most recently closed again in July, said Greg Boosalis, an FBI spokesman in Minneapolis.
"If new information comes forward that is substantial, we will reopen it," Boosalis said.
According to the FBI documents, an unidentified cooperating witness told agents that "Robinson had been tortured and murdered within the AIM occupation perimeter, and then his remains were buried 'in the hills.'"
Any search or excavation attempts would likely be complicated by the reservation's sovereign status. Buswell-Robinson and her two daughters traveled to Wounded Knee in 2004 to walk areas that Robinson likely walked, but they came back without answers.
Another witness told agents that Robinson was in Wounded Knee for about a week and had difficulty adjusting to the lack of food, the chaos of the scene and the unilateral AIM command. That witness said Robinson immediately wanted to open discussion in the bunker about AIM's strategies but no one listened or took him seriously.
The witness said Robinson got into a heated exchange with another person and was taken to a house by a security team. When Robinson grabbed a knife from a table, he was circled by AIM security guards, according to the witness. A shot rang out, and Robinson's eyes "rolled up as he went down."
Buswell-Robinson, 69, questions that account and believes Robinson was in the Wounded Knee occupation area for hours, not weeks. She said the most likely account of her husband's death is one passed on to her by Barbara Deming, a writer and political activist who was asked by Buswell-Robinson in the mid-1970s to look into the killing. She relayed the story to Buswell-Robinson in letters years after the disappearance.
According to Deming's account, Robinson was eating oatmeal one day but hadn't yet checked in with an AIM leader. He was ordered to report to the leader immediately but said the check-in had to wait until he was finished eating. He was then shot, according to the story.
"Ray did not respond well to that authoritative direction," Buswell-Robinson said.
The wounded Robinson was taken to a clinic, but the FBI hasn't pinned down what happened next.
For decades, AIM leaders have denied knowledge of Robinson's death. One witness told agents that AIM leader Vernon Bellecourt, who died in 2007, knew Robinson had been killed and "made a statement to the effect that AIM had 'really managed to keep a tight lid on that one' over the years.'"
AIM leader Dennis Banks did not return a message left by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Clyde Bellecourt questioned why the FBI wasn't spending its time investigating the many unsolved Native American deaths during Wounded Knee.
"There's never been a grand jury hearing on any of them," he said.

NEW ORLEANS — Former News Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, best remembered for his impassioned pleas for help after the levees broke during Hurricane Katrina, was convicted Wednesday of accepting bribes in exchange for helping businessmen secure millions of dollars in city work, including after the devastating storm.
The federal jury found Nagin guilty of 20 of 21 counts against him, involving a string of crimes before and after the storm. He sat quietly at the defense table after the verdict was read and his wife, Seletha, was being consoled in the front row.
Before the verdict, the 57-year-old Ray Nagin said outside the New Orleans courtroom: "I've been at peace with this for a long time. I'm good."
Sentencing was set for June 11. Nagin left the courthouse more than an hour after the verdict was read, and after U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan ordered that his bond be modified to provide for "additional conditions of electronic monitoring and home confinement."
The Democrat, who left office in 2010 after eight years, was indicted in January 2013 on charges he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes — money, free vacation trips and truckloads of free granite for his family business — from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin's support for various projects.
The granite and some of the money came from developer Frank Fradella. More money came from another contractor, Rodney Williams, for Nagin's help in securing city contracts. Convicted former city vendor Mark St. Pierre, who got a no-bid contract with the city in Nagin's first term, provided trips to Jamaica and Hawaii.
A movie theater owner seeking tax breaks provided a trip to New York, prosecutors said. In a conspiracy count, prosecutors also said Nagin sought and got granite work for his business from a major retailer, identified in court as The Home Depot, while helping the retailer work out details related to the opening of a new store in post-Katrina new Orleans. The company was not accused of any wrongdoing.
Nagin had vehemently denied it all during several hours of testimony that spanned two days of trial. But the jury didn't believe him. The only not-guilty verdict came on one count of bribery involving a portion of the money from Williams.
Nagin had testified that key witnesses lied and prosecutors misinterpreted evidence including emails, checks and pages from his appointment calendar linking him to businessmen who said they bribed him.
As Nagin and defense attorney Robert Jenkins left the courthouse Wednesday, walking with a throng of media, photographers and video cameras, Nagin could be heard saying: "I maintain my innocence."
The defense repeatedly said prosecutors overstated Nagin's authority to approve contracts. His lawyer said there is no proof money and material given to the granite business owned by Nagin and his sons, Stone Age LLC, was tied to city business.
The charges against Nagin included one overarching conspiracy count along with six counts of bribery, nine counts of wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy and four counts of filing false tax returns.
The charges carry a variety of maximum sentences ranging from three to 20 years, but how long he would serve was unclear and will depend on a pre-sentence investigation and various sentencing guidelines.
Jenkins said Nagin's testimony didn't hurt the case and that an appeal would be filed after sentencing.
The conviction wasn't a surprise to Rainelle Smith, 64, of New Orleans, who said she voted for Nagin.
"I don't believe he served the city as well as he should have," she said. "He was supposed to come in and prevent the corruption the city was known for. We, in my family, thought of him as the 'cleanup man.' Instead he gets in office and he soiled it more."
The charges resulted from a City Hall corruption investigation that had resulted in several convictions or guilty pleas by former Nagin associates by the time trial started on Jan. 27.
Fradella and Williams, both awaiting sentencing for their roles in separate bribery schemes alleged in the case, each testified that they bribed Nagin.
Nagin's former technology chief, Greg Meffert, who also is awaiting sentencing after a plea deal, told jurors he helped St. Pierre, bribe Nagin with lavish vacation trips. St. Pierre did not testify. He was convicted in the case in 2011.

A 21-year-old man was convicted February 11, of four counts of attempted murder for a shooting that wounded four people outside a Halloween party on the USC campus, prompting the defendant to flip over a chair in anger and beg deputies to shoot him. The nine-woman, three-man panel took less than three hours to reach its verdict against Brandon Spencer. Prosecutors told jurors that the October 2012 shooting was the result of a longstanding feud between Spencer and a rival gang member.
The defense maintained it was a case of mistaken identity, with Spencer's father contending his son was prosecuted in a rush to judgment to satisfy the University of Southern California and its donors. After Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edmund Clarke Jr. thanked the jurors for their service and they filed out of the courtroom, Spencer reacted in anger and frustration, yelling expletives about a life in prison.
Then he yelled, ``Shoot me, I don't give a (expletive),'' as three deputies pushed furniture out of way and tried to restrain him.
``I love you dad,'' he hollered, before again asking the armed deputies to kill him. He struggled as court officers held him down, calling him by his first name and urging him to ``calm down'' as they got him handcuffed. He broke loose once more and three deputies pinned him to the ground as family members cried and called out to Spencer.
Clarke cleared the courtroom shortly afterward. Outside in the hallway, Spencer's father leveled charges of racism, telling reporters that his son was not a gang member and that prosecutors were driven by pressure from USC.
``(They) want to keep all these black men off the USC campus,'' James Spencer charged. ``This is just to satisfy USC."
The elder Spencer said jurors were not allowed to hear that his son was a licensed security guard, and said his son had enrolled at UCLA to begin studying to be an emergency medical technician. Deputy District Attorney Antonella Nistorescu told jurors during her closing argument that the defendant was a ``documented, well-known'' gang member who had been shot in the stomach in August 2011 by an unidentified rival gang member. She said Spencer was seeking vengeance when he fired at reputed gang member Geno Hall outside the party at USC. Hall, a former Crenshaw High School football standout, testified that he had just been talking to his girlfriend when he was shot and didn't know who did it or why.
``Gang members don't snitch, they don't talk to the police ... even rivals,'' Nistorescu told the jury.
Three other witnesses testified that it was Spencer who shot Hall and three others: Mysson Downs, Thomas Richie and Davonte Smith. The prosecution used tweets that had been sent on Spencer's phone as evidence of his gang links, while defense attorney John Blanchard countered that ``the younger generation likes to trash talk.'' The prosecutor pointed to the fact that Spencer pulled off his shirt in the wake of the shooting as evidence of his guilt. But Blanchard said his client pulled off his red shirt to avoid sporting gang colors.
``When he heard gunshots, deja vu, nightmare relived, he's going to run,'' Blanchard said.
The shirt was tied to Spencer via DNA, but there were no fingerprints on the gun found by police and DNA evidence was inconclusive. The gunfire broke out near a party sponsored by the Black Student Assembly and attended by about 400 people. Neither Spencer nor any of the four victims were USC students.
Blanchard said he would file an appeal, citing what he said were contradicting statements by the three eyewitnesses. Blanchard told jurors during his closing argument, ``When you consider all the evidence, the huge inconsistencies and holes ... it's called reasonable doubt, ladies and gentlemen.''
However, Nistorescu countered that the three agreed that Spencer was the shooter, telling jurors they should expect disagreements on smaller details of the shooting. Spencer, who is being held without bail, is due back in court on Feb. 21 for sentencing. He is facing a possible life sentence, as jurors also found true gang and gun allegations.
``He's destroyed,'' his father said.

In a packed ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel Wednesday, February 5, the National Action Network (NAN) held its inaugural Black History Month Awards Luncheon.
NAN founder and president, Reverend Al Sharpton who hosted the event was careful to recognize the day as also being the birthday of the late Trayvon Martin, who would have been 19 years old.
The afternoon's honorees were Danny Bakewell Sr., publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel; Honorable Aja Brown, mayor of Compton, CA; Jon Platt, president North America, Warner/Chappell Music; Reverend Xavier L. Thompson, pastor, Southern Missionary Baptist Church; and Randy Falco on behalf of Univision Communications Inc.
Irving "Magic" Johnson helped to get the program started. The former Laker received a warm welcome from the crowd as he took to the podium.
"I have to first of all apologize to the Rev for being late," Johnson told the guests, "but I was downtown, I just bought the Sparks Basketball team," he announced to roaring applause. "I just cut the press conference short, because I told them I promised Reverend Sharpton I'd be here!"
A video presentation of some of the work and achievements of NAN played as lunch was served. Following the video Rev. Sharpton addressed the crowd, welcoming a few special guests in the audience. Rev. Dr. Cecil "Chip" Murray who Sharpton described as "walking Black history", "God Father" Clarence Avant, businessman and mobilizer J. Anthony Brown, and Rev. Sister Omarosa, were among those mentioned.
Next, came time to present the awards to the afternoon's honored guests.
"Today we initiate these Black History Month honors with the National Action Network because Black history is not something in the past," Reverend Sharpton related. "We reduce history too often as something that happened, rather than what continues to happen. Black history is living, and we want to honor those that help to make history now. "
President of North America Warner/Chappell Music Jon Platt was one of those Sharpton described as currently making history. First to receive his award, Platt "has risen as a giant in an industry that many Blacks have never been able to reach [such a] level of achievement and accomplishment," said the Reverend of the executive side of the music industry.
Next Rev. Sharpton introduced Compton's newly elected Mayor Aja Brown, the youngest the city has ever seen.
"We honor a lady now who has made a difference. Around the country Compton was known in a negative , now we have a mayor who has begun turning that around," he said of Brown who accepted her award with honor and humility, expressing great pride at being awarded amongst "such powerful individuals."
"Mayor Aja Brown believes in the resurrection. A women who has taken a city that had surrendered to despair, and took it to a place where people are looking upward."
Reverend Xavier Thompson received his award to heavy applause and cheers as many community members whose lives he has personally touched were in attendance, along with his family and expectant wife.
President and CEO of Univision Randy Falco accepted the award on behalf of the communications company. Reverend Sharpton stressed the importance of Black and Brown coalitions and Falco echoed his sentiments.
Of the five honorees, Sentinel Publisher Danny Bakewell Sr. was the only civil rights era activist, a fact Reverend Sharpton was deliberate in pointing out.
"I have marveled at him because California is not an easy place to organize," the Revered noted. Sharpton commended Bakewell for being on the "front lines" in community activism over the years, while simultaneously making business work so as "not to have to beg from those he had to confront." "He's the quintessential renaissance man of the civil rights movement around this country," proclaimed Sharpton before inviting Bakewell up to receive the award.
The luncheon is intended to be the first of an annual recognition of community leaders and corporations who are actively making Black history.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A former Arizona Department of Corrections officer has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for having a second sexual relationship with a Tucson girl.
Pima County prosecutor say 34-year-old Robert Joseph Hamm was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison for violating his probation in a 2011 case involving the same teen.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and was given 1 ½ year sentences on each of the two counts, to be served consecutively.
The Arizona Daily Star says Hamm served a year in prison after pleading guilty in 2011 to having sex with the then 14-year-old girl, who was the daughter of a friend.
Tucson police were alerted after the girl's parents found a diary of her encounters with Hamm.

VANDALS caused thousands of dollars damage to two Wimmera organisations on Sunday.
Ararat Crime Investigation Unit was called to Ararat Harness Racing Club's Blake Street premises after security was breached sometime between midnight and 5am.
Detective Acting Sergeant Guy Menhennitt said offenders damaged the venue's bar, causing about $15,000 damage.
"They smashed fridges and tipped over a large commercial fridge," he said.
"An amount of alcohol was also taken."
Det Acting Sgt Menhennitt said police believed offenders forced their way inside through a metal security door.
"It's a big blow to a community club like that, which doesn't make a lot of money and puts what it does make back into the club itself," he said.
"Police are appealing for witnesses in the Blake Street area who might have heard or seen someone to call the Ararat Police Station on 5355 1500."
Ararat Harness Racing Club senior vice-president Bob Collins said it was the second time the venue had been broken into in as many months.
It had been targeted several times before that.
"We're a volunteer club and I am absolutely sick to death of going down there every second week and seeing things smashed up," Mr Collins said.
"When I went down there about 4.30am I could not believe it."
Mr Collins said the bar was covered in blood and glass and the dining room doors had been smashed.
"It's not fair on the committee that we've got these idiots who come and just smash the joint up," he said.
"We've worked our guts out to get one of the better venues in Ararat and in the racing industry, but this just makes you wonder, is it worth it?"
Committee members will have to assess whether planned events, including weddings, will be able to go ahead at the venue.
"We can't have anything without a bar, and whether these fridges can be repaired or not I don't know yet," Mr Collins said.
"Now we've also got to go to the expense of putting up CCTV cameras."
Horsham detectives are also investigating a break-in at the city's Kmart store.
Police believe two people broke into the store through the roof early Sunday morning.
"They spent a considerable amount of time ransacking the store," Detective Senior Constable Travis Kerr said.
"Police were in there at 4am."
Police believe the offenders fled through a back entrance after triggering an alarm.
Horsham's Crime Investigation Unit is using the store's CCTV footage to assist in their investigations.
"It is unknown exactly what amounts of stock have been taken at this stage," Det Sen Const Kerr said.
Staff cleaned the store and it opened at normal time at 8am.
Kmart Horsham said it would not comment on an ongoing investigation.
Det Sen Const Kerr urged anybody with information to call Horsham Police Station on 5382 9200 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The Andrew Luck show rolls into Los Angeles Saturday night as the Stanford Cardinal take on the Southern Cal Trojans. No. 4 Stanford will be looking to extend their winning streak of 16 games, currently the longest in the nation. Luck has Stanford off to their best start since 1951 and hopes to continue his impressive Heisman campaign as well as push the Cardinal towards a possible shot at the BCS Championship.
8 pm ET, ABC/ESPN. Take root here for Stanford-USC score updates and here for college football stories from around the country.
Stanford's offense isn't all Andrew Luck however, as they have one of the better offensive lines in the nation and their rushing attack is starting to get rolling. Last week Tyler Gaffney, Anthony Wilkerson, Stepfan Taylor, and Jeremy Stewart combined for five rushing TDs as Stanford compiled a school-record 446 yards on the ground.
The Trojans will be looking to stop the Cardinal in their tracks however, riding a three game win streak and looking to avenge last years two point loss. For the Trojans to beat Stanford, they'll need another big day from quarterback Matt Barkley and wide receiver Robert Woods. Oddly enough, Barkely has more passing yards than Luck with just one fewer touchdown pass.
Game date, time: 8:00 pm ET, Saturday, October 29, 2011
Location: Los Angeles Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA
TV channel: ABC/ESPN
Spread: Stanford favored by 8.5
Series history: USC leads, 59-26

Old tram rails throw roadworks off track in Blackburn (From This Is Lancashire)
Old tram rails throw roadworks off track in Blackburn
11:00am Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
TRAFFIC chaos on a Blackburn town centre road will continue for days after tram tracks and a service pit were unexpectedly discovered under the highway surface.
Work at the Salford end of Railway Road was due to fin-ish by the weekend, but then the 70-year-old iron rails and 10ft by 6ft underground chamber were discovered.
They were part of the last tram route in the borough from The Boulevard terminus to the Intack shed, which closed on September 3, 1949, to make way for buses.
The work was the final stage of digging connected with the £30m Cathedral Quarter, which started in November after closing the old bus station and moving stops to a temporary site on the old three-day market. It involved the third set of temporary traffic lights on Railway Road starting by the railway station, moving to opposite the Adelphi pub and Morrisons, then to the Salford end.
The work is to allow the highway to be dug up to divert services such as gas and electricity mains, sewers and water mains off the construction site.
The latest unexpected discovery has led to the digging of a 35 yard-long trench, pushing the temporary traffic lights back beyond the Adelphi side of the pedestrian crossing.
It also required widening the road works to accommodate a mechanical digger.
Tory highways spokesman Alan Cottam said: "They should have seen this coming. There are tram tracks below the road surface all over Blackburn.
"The council should not be saying the road will reopen by the weekend and on Monday be digging a huge trench."
Borough regeneration boss Maureen Bateson said: "While we were aware tram lines were present, their exact location could not be determined fully until we dug down as there are no historic plans for the area.
"A chamber under the old tramlines, at the junction with Morrisons, has been discovered. We think this would have been a service chamber for trams.
"We apologise for the disruption to the travelling public, and we hope this will be resolved in the next few days."

I cant believe how they could not notice this.
There was nothing wrong with the 1st boulevard before they replaced it with the stupid one that they are taking away.
I also refuse to call it a bus station all my life its been a boulevard and the town centre has been the precinct not the Mall!!!
Why are we getting rid of our heritage and going all american?

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) - A police internal affairs unit report has found that an off-duty Nassau County police officer unlawfully shot and beat an unarmed cabdriver after a night of drinking.
Newsday says Anthony DiLeonardo escalated a roadside dispute with Thomas Moroughan before shooting him on Feb. 27, 2011.
The report says a doctor who treated Moroughan after the shooting noted he was slurring his words, smelled of alcohol and was hostile. Moroughan refused to provide a blood or urine sample.
Moroughan and his partner, Officer Edward Bienz, remain on duty.
The unit's findings were issued July 31, 2012. The report didn't say whether the officers should be criminally charged and whether departmental charges it recommended were ever brought.
Police officials and Bienz declined to comment. DiLeonardo didn't return calls seeking comment.

I know these trivial pieces of information thanks to my new unsolicited subscription to "Us Weekly."
My first issue came in the mail two weeks ago. I was surprised to see it because I've never bought a copy of "Us Weekly" in my life.
I only read one magazine regularly. My grandmother graciously buys me a yearly subscription to "Guideposts," which has the tagline "True Stories of Hope and Inspiration."
I look forward to getting it every month because the articles are so positive. When celebrities are featured in "Guideposts," they are talking about how faith has affected their lives.
"Us Weekly" is a very different publication. It's about couples, clothes and a variety of other things that don't interest me at all. I certainly would never pay $3.99 an issue to be an expert on these matters.
When "Us Weekly" mysteriously appeared in my mailbox at the first of September, I browsed through it and sat it next to the garbage can to be burned with the rest of the trash.
When a second issue arrived a week later, I got concerned that I was going to get a bill soon for a magazine that I never ordered.
Imagine my surprise when I logged onto the "Us Weekly" website and discovered that I had a subscription paid in full through 2013, a $250 value.
Of course, I immediately feared that someone was using my name and possibly my financial information to keep up with the latest celebrity gossip.
I e-mailed my complaint to the customer service department because no telephone number was provided. I received a message that a representative would respond in two business days.
My patience lasted about two minutes. I found a number for "Us Weekly" on another consumer site. The woman who answered my call gave me a 1-800 number for customer service.
When I called that number, I was given an irritating automated message — "You are calling at a peak period. We are unable to help you at this time. This call will be disconnected. Please try again later."
Then the smart aleck recording hung up on me. I dialed three more times and got the same response.
At this point, I was convinced that the whole thing was a sham. My identity had been stolen. 1-800-Obnoxious was not a workable number, and my checking account would be wiped out before I could get the problem fixed.
Finally, someone answered and promptly gave me more digits I had to call concerning subscriptions.
The person at that number gave me another number — my fourth of the day — for the people who handle promotions for "Us Weekly."
The last woman I spoke with had the answers I needed. No one had ordered the subscription. The magazines were being sent as a gift to me.
I was suspicious of that explanation and asked for more details. The lady politely informed me that magazines don't make their money off of subscriptions. Advertising revenues make the publishing world go 'round.
I started to tell her that I've worked for newspapers since I was a freshman in college and know quite well how the bills get paid, but that would have only belabored the conversation.
Apparently, "Us Weekly" simply wants a lot of people to read their magazine so they can attract advertisers.
They can say, "We have almost two million subscribers," without having to reveal that some of those folks are getting "Us Weekly" against their will. And maybe advertisers don't care as long as they are reaching two million potential customers.
I am no longer one of them. The woman on the phone acted surprised when I asked for my subscription to be suspended. Who turns down free stuff, right?
But honestly, I have no use for "Us Weekly." I genuinely don't care about anything in either of the two issues that were sent to me. If I didn't put a stop to the madness, the magazines would just pile up by the trash can every month until Zac or I could get rid of them.
Now if someone wants to enroll me in a Donut of the Month club, I'll be more than happy to make use of my free membership.

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalWho says sequels have to be announced the moment a movie comes out - if not before? It's been just over a year since 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief' hit theaters and now, according to the LA Times, a sequel could be in the works. Sequel talk was abuzz just before the film hit on February 12th, but when it opened in third place with $31.2 million and only went on to earn $88.8 million domestically, the concept appeared to fizzle out.
However, the film did earn an additional $137.7 million internationally, which brought its grand total to $226.5 million, well over the $95 million budget and apparently that's enough to get original helmer Chris Columbus back onboard, but only to produce. Producer Karen Rosenfelt will also return, as will the cast lead by Logan Lerman. The group could reunite to begin shooting as early as this summer.
This time around, Percy Jackson, the average kid who previously discovered he's actually the son of Poseidon, will reteam with the daughter of Athena, Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), to journey to the Sea of Monsters to track down the Golden Fleece, the only known remedy to cure Camp Half-Blood's magical border, the Thalia's tree. The second film will be subtitled 'The Sea of Monsters' in accordance to the second book in Rick Riordan's five-book series.
So, why should you care? The original film stands at a rotten 50% on Rotten Tomatoes and is merely being called a "modest hit" in terms of its intake at the box office, so this second should be of no interest to you, right? Well, not really. While the first film certainly has its issues, namely cartoonish CGI, it's also wildly enjoyable. Actually, there are a number of reasons why 'Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters' could be worth your while, but let's stick with just the top five:
1. We're in desperate need of a fun magical franchise. As 'Harry Potter' and 'The Twilight Saga' gets increasingly dark and serious, we seem to have forgotten that teens with powers is simply a cool concept. Yes, 'Percy Jackson' has its perilous moments and hints at a potential romance, but overall, the tone is light and a bit goofy, which makes for a wildly fun and entertaining experience.
2. The cast is talented. One of the reasons 'Percy Jackson' was able to work with that lighter tone without seeming silly was due to excellent performances. Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson make for an excellent leading trio. Lerman has absolutely no trouble at all commanding the film and the other two make for great secondary, yet influential pals. Annabeth was a tad weak the first time around, but should her role be amped up in 'Sea of Monsters,' there's no doubt Daddario will seize the opportunity.
3. Uma Thurman is out. Thurman's big moment is a prime example of how the original film's campier tone can backfire big time. The Medusa battle wasn't tense, rather hilariously bad and the fault lies entirely with Thurman and CGI. In terms of the major oops on the effects department's part, all you've really got to do to get a sense of the problem is take a look at Thurman's character poster. The snake-do is absolutely ridiculous looking and not realistic in the least. As for Thurman herself, she just didn't try. Simply stomping around and dragging out your lines doesn't make you sinister in the least. The bright side of this? SPOILER ALERT – Medusa dies.
4. Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski are replacing original writer, Craig Titley. Titley didn't do a bad job by any means, but he is responsible for some of the first film's less successful moments and that might have something to do with the fact that he tends to work on child-friendly films like 'Cheaper By The Dozen' and 'Scooby Doo.' Alexander and Karaszewski, on the other hand, have had experience with more adult fair including 'Ed Wood' and 'Man on the Moon' in addition to pieces with a more juvenile tone like 'Agent Cody Banks.' Should they strike the right balance, the second 'Percy Jackson' could be even more accessible to kids and adults alike.
5. We're already waist-deep in this world. One issue the first film had to overcome is that not everyone's read the books. Not only were the filmmakers responsible for getting across the story of this lightning thief, but introducing us to this world, too. While this wasn't an issue in many respects, certain characters we merely glossed over. Who wouldn't want to see a little more of Sean Bean as Zeus? I know I would. This time around, we already know who and what we're dealing with, giving Alexander and Karaszewski the freedom to dig a little deeper and really flesh out the characters and their situations.

A 5-yr.-old Australian Shepherd named Houdini is living up to his name.
Check out this surveillance video from the Humane Society in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The pup wiggles out of his kennel and strolls through the halls. He makes his way out of not just one, but two doors, eventually ending up outside the building.
"He had to actually push down the handle, push the door open and walk out in both cases," explained Gretchen Pressley, Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.
For his final act, Houdini then walked to a neighborhood a mile away and found himself a forever home.
A woman found Houdini wandering around her street and decided she wanted to adopt him.

Plans underway for October 2010 Carter Work Project in the United States to kick off on World Habitat Day
CHIANG MAI, Thailand (Nov. 20, 2009) – Nearly 3,000 Habitat for Humanity volunteers dedicated 166 homes in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Laos and Cambodia. The houses were built or repaired as part of Habitat's annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, where the former U.S. president and first lady helped raise awareness about the need for affordable housing and built homes in partnership with low-income earners.
Mohammad Mohammaddi (in foreground with scarf) and Eric Hensel, work together on a roof panel during the 2009 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Both men are from the United Arab Emirates. Habitat for Humanity/Andy Nelson.
"We are grateful to the Carters and the thousands of volunteers who've worked to make simple, decent and affordable housing possible," said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International. "Their work this week will help Habitat increase its efforts in this region to serve even more families in need of improved housing conditions."
Celebrity volunteers included global movie action star Jet Li, who signed an agreement with Habitat for Humanity to help build and improve homes in China in 2010–2011.
Also seen working on the Thai site were Japanese football player Hidetoshi Nakata; Bollywood superstar and Habitat for Humanity India supporter John Abraham and actor R. "Maddy" Madhavan and Pooja Bedi, from India; actress and broadcaster Jacqueline Fernandez, from Sri Lanka; South Korean TV actor Lee Seo-Jin; and Habitat for Humanity Thailand's goodwill ambassador, singer and actor Rattapoom "Film" Tokongsub.
In Chengdu, China, Hong Kong actor and director Daniel Wu was one of several high-profile volunteers to build.
"I don't want the house to be completed yet, because I want everybody to stay longer," said new homeowner Kanchit Suthimetheesakul of her experience building a Habitat house alongside volunteers in Thailand this week. "When it is done, this will be everybody's house, not just ours. We are all friends now."
In 2010, the Carter Work Project will move back to the United States.
"I also am pleased to announce that next year Habitat's Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project will be held in the United States, October 3–8, to coincide with World Habitat Day," said Reckford.
World Habitat Day occurs on the first Monday in October each year as a time to reflect on the state of towns and cities and the basic right of adequate shelter for all people.
The day was designated by the United Nations and is annually observed by Habitat for Humanity organizations around the world.
Habitat's Carter Work Project is an annual, internationally-recognized week of building that brings attention to the need for simple, decent and affordable housing in partnership with low-income families. President and Mrs. Carter have faithfully given one week of their time each year since 1984 to help build Habitat homes and raise awareness about the need for simple, decent housing. The Carter Work Project has been held in India, Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, South Africa, Hungary, Thailand, Vietnam, China, South Korea, Laos and throughout the United States.
About Habitat for Humanity International

Just read on boxingscene that Schaefer says Broner will soon fight Ricky Burns for Burns title. Now iv not seen much of Broner, little bits and pieces. I know he had a win over Jason Litzau, and I cant help feeling at this stage Ricky might be getting served up here as the easiest route to a title for this kid.
What can anyone tell me about his chances?
(I appreciate maybe a lot of you havent seen a lot of Burns since prior to Martinez he was a domestic fighter but maybe you know more about Broner)

Broner is just another over hyped GBP fighter and they're looking at Burns because they see him as the easiest route to the top. I'm not so certain about that. Broner has a better win on his resume with the Ponce de Leon fight but we all know he actually lost that one so it counts for nothing.
Burns is bigger physically and is far more active which will enabling him to steal rounds. Burns might get caught, might get put down but if the judges call this one correctly I can't look past Ricky Burns winning a tight decision.
