As a result of these initiatives northeastern Florida prospered economically in a way it never did under Spanish rule. Furthermore, the British governors were directed to call general assemblies as soon as possible in order to make laws for the Floridas and in the meantime they were, with the advice of councils, to establish courts. This would be the first introduction of much of the English-derived legal system which Florida still has today including trial by jury, habeas corpus and county-based government. Neither East Florida nor West Florida would send any representatives to Philadelphia to draft the Declaration of Independence. Florida would remain a Loyalist stronghold for the duration of the American Revolution.

Māori, also known as Te Reo ("the language"), is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken by the Māori people, the indigenous population of New Zealand. Since 1987, it has been one of New Zealand's official languages. It is closely related to Cook Islands Māori, Tuamotuan, and Tahitian.
A national census undertaken in 2013 reported that about 148,000 people, or 3.7% of the New Zealand population, could hold a conversation in Māori about everyday things. , 55% of Māori adults reported some knowledge of the language; of these speakers, 64% use Māori at home and 50,000 can speak the language "very well" or "well".
There was originally no native writing system for Māori. Missionaries brought the Latin alphabet around 1814, and linguist Samuel Lee worked with chief Hongi Hika to systematize the written language in 1820. The resultant phonetic spellings were remarkably successful. Written Māori has changed little since then.
The English word comes from the Māori language, where it is spelled "Māori". In New Zealand, the Māori language is commonly referred to as "Te Reo" "the language", short for "te reo Māori".
The spelling "Maori" (without macron) is standard in English outside New Zealand in both general and linguistic usage. The Māori-language spelling "Māori" (with macron) has become common in New Zealand English in recent years, particularly in Māori-specific cultural contexts, although the traditional English spelling is still prevalent in general media and government use.

Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera; with their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more manoeuvrable than birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is 29--34 mm (1.14--1.34 in) in length, 15 cm (5.91 in) across the wings and 2--2.6 g (0.07--0.09 oz) in mass. The largest bats are the flying foxes and the giant golden-crowned flying fox, Acerodon jubatus, which can weigh 1.6 kg (4 lb) and have a wingspan of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in).

(CNN) -- For decades, comic books have had major shake-ups in their pages, with varying degrees of fan support -- and outrage.
In 1992, well before the advent of social media, Superman was killed and comic books went flying off the shelves.
In 2007, social media like Facebook and Twitter were in their infancy when Captain America died.
And now -- due in part to the abundance of social media and the intense interest in Spider-Man's alter ego, Peter Parker -- a firestorm has erupted, after Marvel revealed that Parker will die, and the role of Spider-Man will be taken over by his archenemy, Doctor Octopus.
The just-released "Amazing Spider-Man" #700 marks the end of one of the most popular comic book series of all time after 50 years. All parties involved maintain that the changes are quite permanent, and next month the saga begins anew with the release of "The Superior Spider-Man" #1, with the Doc, Otto Octavius, stepping into the Spidey suit.
Otto believes that with the combination of his intelligence and Parker's inherited memories and spider powers, he can be an uber-Spider-Man. He can live Parker's life better than Peter could -- from fighting crime to getting back together with on-again, off-again girlfriend Mary Jane Watson.
When issue #700 was leaked early, fan reaction -- both positive and negative -- went into overdrive, with a few death threats directed at the issue's writer, Dan Slott.
Slott reacted on his Twitter and Facebook by saying he would report any threats: "Reality check: There is NO such thing as a 'funny death threat.' Especially if you TAG someone in it."
Now, provide a numbered list of answers to these questions:
1. How long have comics had shake-ups in their pages?
2. How do some fans feel about it?
3. How did other fans react?
4. When did Superman die?
5. What about Captain America?
6. What issue was leaked early?
7. Is Spiderman buddies with Doctor Octopus?
8. What is he to Spiderman?
9. What's Spidey's real name?
10. What's going to happen to him?
11. Who caused a firestorm by letting people know that?
12. What happened after Marvel revealed that Parker will die?

What is the most logical completion of this news story?.
(CNN) -- Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 just got an upgrade with the voice of Cortana. If you're an avid video game player, you're probably thrilled. Cortana is a character in the popular Halo video games series. She's sexy and smart and tries to save the world. So how does Microsoft's Cortana compare with Apple's Siri? We'll find out. But here's the interesting question: Why are Cortana, Siri, and basically all "virtual assistants" female? Sure, there's the biological factor, i.e., our time in the womb predisposes us to prefer the sound of a woman's voice. And then -- as CNN's Brandon Griggs pointed out -- there's also tradition. Ever since World War II, automated navigation systems in airplanes have used female voices, which stand out in the male-dominated cockpit. And let's not forget straight-up sexism, whose logic goes something like this: "Well, if it's an assistant, it has to be female, right?"

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Brian Douglas Wilson (born June 20, 1942) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who co-founded the Beach Boys. After signing with Capitol Records in 1962, Wilson wrote or co-wrote more than two dozen Top 40 hits for the group. In addition to his lifelong struggles with mental illness, Wilson is known for his unorthodox approaches to pop composition and mastery of recording techniques, and he is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative and significant songwriters of the late 20th century. The Beach Boys were formed by Brian, his brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine.
Brian Douglas Wilson was born on June 20, 1942, at Centinela Hospital in Inglewood, California, the eldest son of Audree Neva (nee Korthof) and Murry Wilson. His two younger brothers were Dennis and Carl. He has English, Swedish, Dutch, German, and Irish ancestry. When Brian was two, the family moved from Inglewood to 3701 West 119th Street in nearby Hawthorne, California. Speaking of Brian's unusual musical abilities prior to his first birthday, his father said that, as a baby, he could repeat the melody from "When the Caissons Go Rolling Along" after only a few verses had been sung by the father. Murry Wilson said, "He was very clever and quick. I just fell in love with him." At about age two, Brian heard George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, which had an enormous emotional impact on him. A few years later, he was discovered to have diminished hearing in his right ear. The exact cause of this hearing loss is unclear, though theories range from him simply being born partially deaf to a blow to the head from his father, or a neighborhood bully, being to blame. While Brian's father Murry was ostensibly a reasonable provider, he was often abusive. A minor musician and songwriter, he also encouraged his children in this field in numerous ways. At an early age, Brian was given six weeks of lessons on a "toy accordion" and, at seven and eight, sang solos in church with a choir behind him. At Hawthorne High School, Brian was on the football team as a quarterback, played baseball and was a cross-country runner in his senior year. He sang with various students at school functions and with his family and friends at home, teaching his two brothers harmony parts that all three would then practice. He also played piano obsessively after school, deconstructing the harmonies of the Four Freshmen by listening to short segments of their songs on a phonograph, then working to recreate the blended sounds note by note on the keyboard. He received a Wollensak tape recorder on his 16th birthday, allowing him to experiment with recording songs and early group vocals. Surviving home tapes document his initial efforts singing with various friends and family. In his senior year at Hawthorne High, in addition to classroom music studies, he sang at lunch time with friends like Keith Lent and Bruce Griffin. Brian and Keith worked on a revised version of the tune "Hully Gully" to support the campaign of a classmate named Carol Hess when she ran for senior class president. Enlisting his cousin and frequent singing partner Mike Love as well as his own brother Carl, Brian's next public performance featured more ambitious arrangements at a fall arts program at his high school. To entice Carl into the group, Brian named the newly formed membership Carl and the Passions. The performance featured tunes by Dion and the Belmonts and the Four Freshmen ("It's a Blue World"), the latter of which proved difficult for the ensemble. The event was notable for the impression which it made on another musician and classmate of Brian in the audience that night, Al Jardine, who would join the three Wilson brothers and Mike Love a few years later in the Beach Boys. Recording sessions for the band's first album took place in Capitol's basement studios in the famous tower building in August 1962, but early on Brian lobbied for a different place to cut Beach Boy tracks. The large rooms were built to record the big orchestras and ensembles of the 1950s, not small rock groups. At Brian's insistence, Capitol agreed to let the Beach Boys pay for their own outside recording sessions, to which Capitol would own all the rights, and in return the band would receive a higher royalty rate on their record sales. Additionally, during the taping of their first LP Brian fought for, and won, the right to be in charge of the production - though this fact was not acknowledged with an album liner notes production credit. In January 1963, the Beach Boys recorded their first top-ten (cresting at number three in the United States) single, "Surfin' U.S.A.", which began their long run of highly successful recording efforts at Hollywood's United Western Recorders on Sunset Boulevard. It was during the sessions for this single that Brian made the production decision from that point on to use double tracking on the group's vocals, resulting in a deeper and more resonant sound. The Surfin' U.S.A. album was also a big hit in the United States, reaching number two on the national sales charts by early July 1963. The Beach Boys had become a top-rank recording and touring band. Brian was for the first time officially credited as the Beach Boys' producer on the Surfer Girl album, recorded in June and July 1963 and released that September. This LP reached number seven on the national charts, containing singles that were top 15 hits. Feeling that surfing songs had become limiting, Brian decided to produce a set of largely car-oriented tunes for the Beach Boys' fourth album, Little Deuce Coupe, which was released in October 1963, only three weeks after the Surfer Girl LP. The departure of guitarist David Marks from the band that month meant that Brian was forced to resume touring with the Beach Boys, for a time reducing his availability in the recording studio. For much of the decade, Brian attempted to establish himself as a record producer by working with various artists. On July 20, 1963, "Surf City", which he co-wrote with Jan Berry of Jan and Dean, was his first composition to reach the top of the US charts. The resulting success pleased Brian, but angered both Murry and Capitol Records. Murry went so far as to order his oldest son to sever any future collaborations with Jan and Dean. Brian's other non-Beach Boy work in this period included tracks by the Castells, Donna Loren, Sharon Marie, the Timers, and the Survivors. The most notable group to which Wilson would attach himself in this era would be the Honeys, which Wilson intended as the female counterpart to the Beach Boys, and as an attempt to compete with Phil Spector-led girl groups such as the Crystals and the Ronettes. He continued juggling between recording with the Beach Boys and producing records for other artists, but with less success at the latter--except for Jan and Dean. In late 1965, Wilson began working on material for a new project, Pet Sounds. He formed a temporary songwriting partnership with lyricist Tony Asher, who was suggested to Wilson by mutual friend Daro. Wilson, who had recorded the album's instrumentation with the Wrecking Crew, then assembled the Beach Boys to record vocal overdubs, following their return from a tour of Japan. Upon hearing what Wilson had created for the first time in 1965, the group, particularly Mike Love, was somewhat critical of their leader's music, and expressed their dissatisfaction. At this time, Wilson still had considerable control within the group and, according to Wilson, they eventually overcame their initial negative reaction, as his newly created music began to near completion. The album was released May 16, 1966, and, despite modest sales figures at the time, has since become widely critically acclaimed, often being cited among the all-time greatest albums. Although the record was issued under the group's name, Pet Sounds is arguably seen as a Brian Wilson solo album. Wilson even toyed with the idea by releasing "Caroline, No" as a solo single in March 1966, it reaching number 32 on the Billboard charts. During the Pet Sounds sessions, Wilson had been working on another song, which was held back from inclusion on the record as he felt that it was not sufficiently complete. The song "Good Vibrations" set a new standard for musicians and for what could be achieved in the recording studio. Recorded in multiple sessions and in numerous studios, the song eventually cost $50,000 (equivalent to $377,128 in 2017) to record within a six-month period. In October 1966, it was released as a single, giving the Beach Boys their third US number-one hit after "I Get Around" and "Help Me, Rhonda". It sold over a million copies. Sometime after Pet Sounds was released, the Beatles' press agent Derek Taylor started working as a publicist for the Beach Boys. He gradually became aware of Wilson's reputation as a "genius" among musician friends, a belief that wasn't widely held at the time. Motivated by Brian's musical merits, Taylor responded with a campaign that would reestablish the band's outdated surfing image, and was the first to tout Brian as a "genius". According to Van Dyke Parks, this was "much to Brian's embarrassment". By the time of the universal success of "Good Vibrations", Wilson was underway with his next project, Smile, which Wilson described as a "teenage symphony to God." "Good Vibrations" had been recorded in modular style, with separately written sections individually tracked and spliced together, and Wilson's concept for the new album was more of the same, representing a departure from the standard live-taped performances typical of studio recordings at that time. Having been introduced to Van Dyke Parks at a garden party at Terry Melcher's home, Wilson liked Parks' "visionary eloquence" and began working with him in the fall of 1966. After Wilson famously installed a sandbox and tent in his living room, the pair collaborated closely on several Smile tracks. Conflict within the group and Wilson's own growing personal problems threw the project into terminal disarray. Originally scheduled for release in January 1967, the release date was continually pushed back until press officer Derek Taylor announced its cancellation in May 1967.

TEXT:In 1925, childhood friends Marie Dressler (as Maggie Warren) and Polly Moran (as Lizzie Praskins) oversee the wedding of their children, Anita Page (as Helen) and Norman Foster (as John). Before the celebration, Ms. Dressler turns the reigns of her small town bank over to her son, Mr. Foster. Six years later, the Great Depression brings many bank closures, and financial insecurity. Banker Foster is able to survive, due to mother Dressler's wise planning. But, Ms. Moran is worried about her fortune, and loudly demands a complete withdrawal. Other "Warren Bank" customers hear Moran's rant, and start questioning their own solvency. Soon, the family is in financial crisis.
Dressler's huge critical and financial film hit "Emma" had been released early in the year, and MGM had to have wanted to get a new Dressler film out as soon as possible. Dressler's 1931 hits, "Reducing" and "Politics" were still making a lot of money; and, Dressler had become 1932's US #1 Box Office Star, according to the industry standard list compiled by Quigley Publications. "Prosperity" certainly celebrated Dressler's status, but the production appears uncharacteristically sloppy, and rushed. The cast does well, considering. Some more care in direction and editing, and some retakes, would have helped
apparently, they needed it in theaters for the holidays.

Tucson School District Tailors Program to Struggling Hispanic Students
TUCSON — The forecast for the year ahead is dire, so officials in the public school district here, the oldest in the state, summoned parents to an urgent meeting one evening to lay out the options: close schools and increase class sizes or impose across-the-board pay cuts, making it harder for the district to recruit quality teachers.
In the auditorium at Cholla High Magnet School, Bryant Nodine, the planning program manager for the Tucson Unified School District, peered into the audience and pleaded for suggestions. “We need your help,” he said. The district needs to find at least $17 million in savings, about 7 percent of the money in its general fund, he said, to balance its budget for 2013-14 school year.
Meanwhile, at the district’s central offices, Maria Figueroa was busy sifting through résumés and rearranging her calendar to squeeze in one more interview. As the director of a new program intended to help the district’s perennially struggling Hispanic students, by far the majority of the enrollment, Ms. Figueroa enjoys a rare distinction: she has jobs to fill and money to hire.
She also has a big task — mending the fences broken by the dismantling of the Mexican-American studies department last school year after an acrimonious debate over the politics of its curriculum and the type of activism it had promoted. A 2010 law banning lessons that fostered racial resentment and solidarity among members of a single ethnic group, drafted as legislators worked to frame the state’s controversial immigration bill, eventually killed the program. Facing persistent financial problems, the school district buckled under the threat of millions of dollars in fines.
Instead of classes about historical realities and the everyday experiences of Mexican-Americans, once a hallmark of the department, Ms. Figueroa’s program will offer tutoring to Hispanic students who are teetering on the edge of failure. In place of discussions about race and identity, it will recruit mentors from among Hispanic business leaders and college graduates to talk to students.
The overarching goal is as basic as it is fundamental. “We’re going to teach the kids that they need to stay in school, that school is important,” Ms. Figueroa said.
For about 30 years, the district has been under a federal desegregation order aimed at doing just that, as well as improving achievement among its minority students. But it has seen limited success at great cost — $1 billion, based on its estimates. Part of the financing has come from commercial property taxes in the district.
Officials have used the money to pay for teachers, playground monitors and other everyday expenses in schools under the desegregation order, shifting costs to try to offset layoffs throughout the district. It has not always worked, and schools have faced budget woes as the district has struggled against shrinking enrollment, declining state financing and mounting competition from charter schools, which have opened at greater numbers in Arizona than in any other state.
At $62 million, the desegregation pot for the 2013-2014 school year makes up 11 percent of the district’s budget. It is also where Ms. Figueroa’s program gets its financing. She is hiring someone to help teachers handle behavior problems among students, as well as 14 people to guide the mentoring and tutoring services offered by her program, known as Mexican-American Student Services.
It is a return to the past. Tucson’s Hispanic studies department was born 14 years ago, offering a curriculum that Ms. Figueroa defined as “culturally relevant” and the same type of services her program is offering. (The services were dropped somewhere along the way, she said, even as similar programs remained available to African-American, Native-American and Asian students through each of their respective departments, which evolved from the settlement over the desegregation order in 1978, as well as community pressure.)
Ms. Figueroa, a longtime teacher and elementary school principal, had a hand in designing the curriculum back then. In its last iteration, when the department came to be known as Mexican-American studies, it used literature as a basis for personal essays, discussions and projects of the type José González, who taught a course named American Government Social Justice Project, encouraged his students to do, like fixing a problem they found at their school. One of the most memorable, Mr. González said, was a plan to get students more involved in decisions about what and how they should learn.
“It was an exercise in empowerment for kids who never knew they had a voice,” he said.
The district has now given someone else the role of creating a multicultural curriculum to offer a “balanced presentation of diverse viewpoints on controversial issues” related to Mexican-American history and culture, according to a memorandum. Ms. Figueroa said she did not know what it would look like. “It’s not my department,” she said.
Sarah Garrecht Gassen contributed reporting.

As a big fan of gorilla movies in general, I anticipated that this one would be great - and as for the gorilla effects, They were quite good, however - that is the only thing I can write about this flop. The film claims to be based on a true story but in effect, it does not even come close to what actually happened to "Buddy" - who in real life, was the famous Gargantua, sold to Ringling Bros. by our supposed "heroic" Gertrude Lintz, known by many animal enthusiasts as a woman who hardly had her animals' welfare in the best interest. As far as Buddy being portrayed as becoming aggressive, this was total fiction and at no time did the gorilla, in real life, resort to such behavior. buddy did, in fact, escape his wooden crate (not a plush cage room as depicted in movie) during a storm, to seek shelter and comfort in the house, which frightened Gertrude Lintz into selling him. No, Buddy was not released into a gorilla family surrounded by lush trees in a zoological paradise - he was abandoned in a wooden crate, deep in the back of a garage for some time with only a single light bulb for comfort and then sold to the circus - where he actually lived a better life having peanuts thrown at him until he died (historically the oldest living gorilla on record, by the way) before a show in Miami. Notice also, in the film, how Buddy grows older but the chimpanzees never age. (The chimps, by the way, were not raised simultaneously with other animals, including Buddy, as portrayed in the film)

In 1960 Random House acquired Alfred A. Knopf. It is believed that the decision to sell was prompted by Alfred A. Knopf, Jr., leaving Knopf to found his own book company, Atheneum Books in 1959. Since its founding, Knopf has paid close attention to design and typography, employing notable designers and typographers including William Addison Dwiggins, Harry Ford, Steven Heller, Chip Kidd, Lorraine Louie, Bruce Rogers, Rudolf Ruzicka, and Beatrice Warde. Knopf books conclude with an unnumbered page titled "A Note on the Type", which describes the history of the typeface used for the book. In addition, Knopf books date the year of the book's current printing on the title page. Knopf published textbooks until 1988, when Random House's schools and colleges division was sold to McGraw-Hill. In 1991, Knopf revived the "Everyman's Library" series, originally published in England in the early 20th century. This series consists of classics of world literature in affordable hardcover editions. The series has grown over the years to include lines of Children's Classics and Pocket Poets. Random House was acquired by Bertelsmann in 1998. In late 2008 and early 2009, the Knopf Publishing Group merged with Doubleday to form the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.

The law prevents US and EU governments from funding terrorist groups.
Come up with some evidence to support this claim.

1. 27/04/2011 .
2. Fatah Reconciles With Hamas .
3. Schulenburg , John .
4. In 2007 both Western law , and the moral disgust at the thought that aid funding could be used to fund terror attacks , required the EU and US to stop funding the Palestinian Authority while under a Hamas government , the same would almost certainly be the case again if Hamas were to regain power .
5. It is extremely worrying that such a violent organisation managed to win power in the most recent Palestinian election , and that committed terrorists are in government in Gaza and in control of the Palestinian budget and security forces .
6. Their governments are barred by law from providing any funding to such groups .
7. Both the European Union and the US State Department have recognised this by listing Hamas as a terrorist organisation .
8. Hamas is a terrorist organisation , responsible for killing hundreds of civilians , often by sending suicide bombers into Israel .

2. It is the absolutely stunning visuals that make the movie so compelling!
3. For a cartoon, the movie is overpowering!
4. one of the year's most distinctive, lovingly made movies, a picture that turns a familiar story into something suprisingly exciting, moving and -- yes -- even funny. In a word, 'Prince' rules.
5. Glorious artwork, stirring music and a compact story line make this film a winner.
6. The 400-member-strong Prince of Egypt team (led by directors Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner and Simon Wells and ramrodded by executive producer Jeffrey Katzenberg) have created a succession of visual wonders.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (CNN) -- Deposed Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya said he was denied permission to land at Tegucigalpa's airport Sunday evening after a deadly clash between Zelaya's supporters and government troops. A plane carrying ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya flies over Tegucigalpa on Sunday. Zelaya told the Venezuela-based news network Telesur that his jet was denied permission to land in Tegucigalpa, where military vehicles were arrayed on the runway. The aircraft was en route to San Salvador, the capital of neighboring El Salvador, after what Zelaya called a "fruitless" attempt to land. At least one person was killed and eight wounded after security forces opened fire and used tear gas on protesters who ringed Tegucigalpa's airport, said Hugo Orellana, a Red Cross director in Honduras. Protest leaders put the death toll at three.

Advert, printed with phone number, read 'Useless piece of cheating male Michael McCartan' A second advert - with the same phone number - read 'male cheater £0'
Write an article based on these highlights.
|
By. Rob Cooper. Last updated at 2:08 PM on 25th November 2011. One cheating male: The advert which appeared in the Birmingham Mail. Leafing through a regional newspaper's classified adverts, a reader normally expects to find babysitters, cleaners and gardeners touting their services. But one jilted lover used the section to take her revenge on a cheating partner. Hidden among adverts for a snooker table and a single bed an advert read 'Useless piece of cheating male Michael McCartan'. The entry was titled 'Erdington Librarian'. Directly beneath the piece in the Birmingham Mail was another advert for a 'male cheater £0'. Both entries contained the same local phone number. The adverts are believed to have been missed by the regional newspaper's classified section editorial team. 'I couldn't believe it when I was flicking through Tuesday's paper at work,' said 37-year-old mother-of-two Julie Wood. 'You don't expect to see something like that in the "bargain" buy section. Whoever put the advert in must have been pretty angry. 'I can understand why she did it, if he has cheated on her then I would want to get my own back and humiliate him too. 'Mind you, an advert in the local paper would be the least of my husband's worries if he had an affair.' Speaking to MailOnline, a man at Erdington Library who identified himself as Michael McCartan said he did not like 'malicious rumours' being spread about him. He said: 'I am aware of the advert. I don't know why it was put in there. I didn't know people could put adverts in the paper like that and I'm going to get in touch and make a complaint because I don't like malicious rumours being spread about me.' When pushed further and asked if he was a married man he said 'thank you for your time' and hung up. Classifieds: Gardening, furnoture televisions and one cheating man... the adverts that appeared in the Birmingham Mail earlier this week. Last. year millionaire businessman Charles Phillips had his eight-year affair. exposed - when it was plastered on billboards in Time Square, New York. YaVaughnie Wilkins is said to have paid £150,000 to reveal her relationship to the world after he went back to his wife. The posters, which are three storeys high, show Miss Wilkins and Mr Phillips - a senior member of President Obama's hand-picked Economic Recovery Advisory Board - below his initials and a quote saying: 'You are my soulmate forever.' Two years ago a wife who caught her husband cheating with the babysitter put his Porsche up for sale online at a knockdown price. The £70,000 car was listed for just £2,000. The wife, from Solihull, West Midlands, wrote: 'Last week, I caught my husband having it off with our babysitter in our Porsche (actually, MY Porsche as I bloody paid for it). So I'm selling his beloved car. See how the p***k likes that!'

1:07 p.m. update: The Marion County Prosecutor's Office has requested an enhancement on the murder charge filed against a suspect in the Amanda Blackburn killing because Blackburn was pregnant.
If Larry Taylor is convicted of Blackburn's murder, the enhancement could add an additional six to 20 years behind bars. Blackburn was 12 weeks pregnant when she died.
The enhancement would come into play should Taylor be convicted of or plead guilty to murder, according to prosecutor's office spokeswoman Peg McLeish. At that point, she said, the state would have to make its case that the killing caused the termination of Blackburn's pregnancy.
10:34 a.m. update: The two men facing murder charges in Amanda Blackburn's slaying appeared at a court hearing Tuesday, where a judge entered not guilty pleas for them.
During the 20-minute hearing, public defenders were assigned to Taylor and Watson, who gave "yes" and "no" answers to the judge's perfunctory questions.
Tuesday's court appearance will also likely be the last until Jan. 8, when the two are scheduled for a pre-trial conference hearing. In the meantime, local authorities will be tasked with processing additional evidence taken from the crime scenes — something officials expect will take time to resolve.
"It doesn't quite work like on television," said Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Denise Robinson. "It's a process that can take weeks and into months in this case. So the crime lab has quite a bit of work to do on the case."
Robinson said Taylor's case could be under consideration for the death penalty, though she added that process has yet to be started.
Uncertainty also swirls around the fate of Diano Gordon, a third man police have accused of being involved in the string of burglaries that led to Blackburn's death. Gordon, who is named in a probable cause affidavit, has not been charged. Robinson said prosecutors are waiting for test results and other information before determining what charges may be filed against him.
Gordon is currently being held at the Marion County Jail on an unrelated parole violation.
Earlier: The crime spree that ended Amanda Blackburn’s life began with a series of burglaries carried out across the Northside of Indianapolis.
The Blackburn home was the third burglary in the early-morning hours of Nov. 10. The perpetrators, police said, were after money. But the chaos ended around 7 a.m., police said, when one of the suspects — a teenager — leaned over Blackburn’s body and shot her in the back of the head.
Then he leaned further, police said. He looked at her face. And he watched her bleed.
That harrowing account of events was made public Monday as the city’s top law enforcers announced a slew of charges against two suspects, accused triggerman Larry Taylor, 18, and suspected accomplice Jalen Watson, 21.
“We promised you ... that we would go after those violent individuals in our community,” Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Chief Rick Hite said. "(Police) put in a lot of time to bring justice."
Taylor was charged with 13 counts, including murder, burglary, theft, robbery, criminal confinement, auto theft and a misdemeanor count of carrying a handgun without a license. Watson is facing 10 counts, including murder, burglary, theft, robbery and auto theft.
A third person suspected of involvement, 24-year-old Diano Gordon, is mentioned in court documents and was named at a news conference Monday, but he has not been charged. Officials say Gordon is being held in the Marion County Jail on an unrelated parole violation. It’s unclear what type of charges, if any, might be filed against him.
The arrests came nearly two weeks after Blackburn’s husband, Davey Blackburn, found his wife in critical condition in their shared home on Sunnyfield Court. Amanda Blackburn, 28, was 12 weeks pregnant when she was shot multiple times. She died two days later.
The Blackburns, who moved to Indianapolis from South Carolina two years ago and founded Resonate Church, drew significant interest across the country as Davey Blackburn began speaking out on national media about his wife's death.
He released a statement Monday after receiving news of the arrests.
"Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry and slip into despair, I choose the route of forgiveness, grace and hope," a portion of the statement read. "Today I am deciding to love, not hate. Today I am deciding to extend forgiveness, not bitterness. Today I am deciding to hope, not despair. By Jesus' power at work within us, the best is still yet to come."

Newly released court documents reveal the most complete account yet of how investigators think the crime happened — along with how, through a combination of DNA testing, cellphone records, surveillance footage and cooperating individuals, investigators ultimately pinned their suspects.
The timeline detailed in charging documents began around 4:30 a.m. the day Blackburn was shot, when a woman living about 10 miles from the Blackburn home awoke to find her apartment burglarized. She told police that burglars stole her cellphone, laptop, purse, keys and 2007 Chrysler Sebring. The woman’s security system, court documents say, took pictures of three people.
Police claim the Sebring became a getaway vehicle as the suspects drove across town to burglarize more homes in the 2800 block of Sunnyfield Court. One home on that block was burglarized around 5:30 a.m. Court documents say the men ripped a window screen and unlocked a patio door before stealing a laptop, Tiffany pearl necklace, pink sweater, bag of oranges, four televisions and other items.
The Blackburn home, two doors down on Sunnyfield, was targeted next. Police said the suspects entered the unlocked door after Davey Blackburn left to go to a gym at 6:11 a.m.
According to court documents, the men did not immediately decide to kill Amanda Blackburn. Instead, documents allege Taylor hit her with his gun, stole her bank cards and threw them in the getaway car with Watson and Gordon. Those two then drove to two ATMs, attempting to withdraw money. They communicated several times via phone with Taylor, who remained in the Blackburn house.
A cooperating individual who is unidentified in court records provided a narrative of that morning to police. That person told investigators that the two men in the car planned to leave Taylor behind after successfully withdrawing money from an ATM on 86th Street. But Taylor, court documents say, “threatened to kill the woman if they left him.”
Ultimately, the two decided to return for Taylor. Court documents attribute that decision to another person who called them and said Taylor was “family” and could not be left behind.
It's not clear when Blackburn was shot. A neighbor later told police she heard two gunshots and what sounded like a woman's scream about 6:45 a.m. According to the unidentified cooperating individual, Taylor later told several people that he shot Blackburn in the back of the head.
After picking up Taylor, court documents say, the two men dropped him off in a different neighborhood with a bag of stolen property and stashed the Sebring elsewhere.
(Photo: Provided by Indiana Department of Correction)
That Sebring, which was recovered late Nov. 11 about 3 miles east of the Blackburn home, would later become the first piece of evidence that helped investigators track down their suspects. Inside the stolen vehicle, police found a denied ATM transaction notice for Blackburn’s missing debit card.
More critically, detectives also found a pink sweater stolen from the other home on Sunnyfield Court. That evidence, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said, gave officials a “significant break” in the case via a DNA swab.
DNA found on the sweater was run through the FBI’s DNA index system. It returned a match for Watson, who has a prior felony conviction for burglary. Court documents claim Watson used the sweater to conceal his face as he attempted to use Blackburn’s stolen debit card at area ATMs.
Pieces began falling into place with that match. Investigators pulled phone numbers they say belonged to Watson and Gordon, whom they identified as close associates. According to phone records, their numbers pinged cell towers in areas where the Nov. 10 burglaries occurred.
Phone records also placed Taylor's phone at the scene of the crime. Additional research led investigators to Taylor, who was interviewed Thursday.
During that interview, Taylor would tell police only that he "possibly" rode in the Sebring and stopped on Sunnyfield Court, claiming he “was so messed up he could not remember.” Watson and Gordon also were taken into custody that day on unrelated parole violations after questioning about the killing.
Taylor, meanwhile, would not elude arrest for long. Saturday, court documents say, police interviewed the unnamed “cooperating individual” who gave them the sequence of events leading to Blackburn’s death — including a confession to the killing from Taylor himself. Taylor was arrested late Sunday.
That person characterized the crimes as motivated by greed, telling investigators the group “wanted more money” as they drove to their targets.
Ultimately, the unnamed individual told police, Taylor confessed to the crime at a later rendezvous point, where he told several people “he killed the woman.”
“Taylor stated that she charged at him and he shot her somewhere in the upper body so he would not be scratched,” the person told police.
Then Taylor shot her in the back of the head.

Embed Prosecutor Charges Two in Murder of Pastor's Wife 1:18 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog
Two young men were charged Monday in the murder of an Indianapolis pastor's pregnant wife during a home invasion as court documents alleged the gunman shot her "so he wouldn't be scratched."
Larry Taylor, 18, allegedly gave his accomplices a blow-by-blow of how he killed Amanda Blackburn, 28, during the Nov. 10 burglary, according to a probable cause affidavit that cited a cooperating witness.
"Taylor stated that she charged at him and he shot her somewhere in the upper body so he would not be scratched," the affidavit says.
"Taylor then told them that he leaned over her body and shot her in the back of the head. He leaned further, looked at her face, and watched her bleed."
A short time later, Blackburn's husband, Davey, returned from working out at the gym to find his 12-weeks pregnant wife face down on the floor, nude from the waist down, and their 15-month-old son still in his crib, the documents say.
After a two-week investigation that involved DNA testing, phone tracking and shoe-leather detective work, police on Monday charges Taylor and parolee Jalen Watson, 21, with Blackburn's murder.
A third burglary suspect, Diano Gordon, 24, was held on a parole violation but has not been charged in the slaying, apparently because he did not enter the Blackburn home.

Because the victim was pregnant, prosecutors said they would consider filing additional charges tied to the fetus. Although her underwear had been removed and her shirt pulled up, they said there was no evidence to support sexual assault charges.
As the arrests were announced, Davey Blackburn issued a statement that he was "extremely relieved."
"Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry, and slip into despair I choose the route of forgiveness, grace and hope," he wrote.
"If there is one thing I've learned from Amanda in the 10 years we were together, it's this: Choosing to let my emotions drive my decisions is recipe for a hopeless and fruitless life. Today I am deciding to love, not hate."

The Blackburns' home was the third targeted by Taylor, Watson and Gordon on Nov. 10, according to the court documents.
At the first predawn break-in, the thieves stole a laptop, purse and car while the resident was sleeping. While in the home, they discovered a video camera was recording them.
"Taylor wanted to kill the occupant because he was seen on camera," the affidavit said, citing the confidential witness.
Instead, the group drove to another house, broke in through a patio window and swiped four TVs, a laptop, jewelry, a bag of oranges — and a pink sweater that would eventually help police identify them, the affidavit said.
"They decided they wanted more money," the court document said.
They made their way to the Blackburn house, where the husband had left the front door unlocked when he left for the gym, the papers say. Inside, they confronted Amanda Blackburn and "Taylor busted her in the mouth with his gun," Watson allegedly told his buddies when he came out.
Watson and Gordon considered taking off while Taylor was in the house, but then he came out with ATM cards and they set off in search of a cash machine, prosecutors allege. They tried and failed to get $500 out of one machine but did get $400 from another, then drove back and got Taylor, the affidavit said.
The court papers outlined the evidence amassed by police against the suspects. The most important clue: Watson's DNA was found on the pink sweater taken from the second burglary, which was then used to cover a suspect's face while he tried to withdraw cash with Blackburn's cash card.
Detectives were then able to use phone numbers that Watson and his Facebook friend Gordon has registered with parole to conduct searches of cell calls near the burglary scenes. The found they had called an unknown number, which they then traced to Backpage ads linked to Taylor, prosecutors said.
Taylor waived his right to remain silent and admitted he was near one burglary scene in search of someone named Cheese, the court papers say. He said he might have stopped in the Blackburns' neighborhood "but claimed he was so messed up he could not remember." |||||
Summary:
|
– The 18-year-old accused of murdering Amanda Blackburn during a home invasion robbery claims he shot her after she charged at him, according to court documents seen by NBC News. Larry Taylor told accomplices that the pregnant 28-year-old pastor's wife "charged at him and he shot her somewhere in the upper body so he would not be scratched," an affidavit says. "Taylor then told them that he leaned over her body and shot her in the back of the head. He leaned further, looked at her face, and watched her bleed." Court documents state that Taylor had been left with Blackburn and her 15-month-old son while two accomplices drove around trying to use her ATM cards, the Indianapolis Star reports. They picked him up after successfully withdrawing cash, the documents state. Court documents, citing a "cooperating individual," state that Taylor said he hit Blackburn in the mouth with his gun as soon as he entered the Indianapolis residence, which was the third burglary he and two accomplices carried out on the morning of Nov. 10, the Star reports. Taylor has been charged with murder, as has alleged accomplice Jalen Watson, 21. The third man, Diano Gordon (or Gordan), 24, has not been charged in the murder, possibly because he didn't enter the residence, NBC reports. The victim's husband, pastor Davey Blackburn, issued a statement saying he was "extremely relieved" by the arrests. "Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry, and slip into despair, I choose the route of forgiveness, grace, and hope," he said. "Today I am deciding to love, not hate."

What is the sentiment of the following review?
Awkward. Everything about our dinner here was awkward. We were not drinking so we decided to sit in the restaurant area... We were the only people seated there at the time. The table we were put at at was awkward, with a pole in the middle of it that seemed to make it difficult for staff to serve and clear plates. The chairs were uncomfortable. Ordering was awkward. The menu is a sheet of paper you mark your order on. Our waitress thought my husband only wanted an appetizer, despite the fact that his standardized-test type ordering form was clearly completed to indicate he wanted a burger with specific toppings. Prices were high too, over $10 for a burger that didn't come with fries ($4 if you want to add a side of fries)... $10 for 3 smaller-than-typical sliders. Speaking of our waitress, not only was she rather poor at reading the ordering form but she also lacked in the personality department. Her entire vibe was a buzz kill. Most of this would be forgiven if the food was good... We started with fried mozzarella, served with the blandest marinara ever. My husband had the Juicy Lucy which comes stuffed with cheese. I had the sliders which came with cheese and a side of thousand island dressing (pickles would have been nice). I found the meat under seasoned and overcooked. My husband didn't complain about his burger but he did have a ton of toppings added... Even the bathroom was awkward... There is no separation between the toilet and sink and a rather gross, messy floor. It took ages to get our check, we had to ask the busser to find our waitress to finally get the hell out of there... There are a lot of places to overpay for a burger and fries on the Strip, which means there is no reason for me to ever come back here.

– A 14-year-old girl in Orai, northern India, was gang-raped, then set on fire when she warned the perpetrators she'd report the incident, her father says. The girl died in a hospital with burns over 80% of her body, the Times of India reports. The teen and her sister were reportedly on their way to a farm to use the bathroom Tuesday, Fox News notes; three men grabbed the girl, dragged her away, and raped her, her father's official complaint says. They allegedly set her on fire after she said she'd identify them. The three men, allegedly led by a local youth named Ram Bahadur, told the girl's sister about the attack before fleeing. Locals and family members found the teen and took her to the hospital. Police say they're conducting raids to arrest the alleged perpetrators, whose relatives are being questioned. The father, however, says police initially refused to register his allegation.

There's almost too much to see in Sicily
It was the best of Sicily, it was the worst of Sicily.
The island off the toe of Italy’s boot has it all — pristine Mediterranean beaches; ancient sites; millennia of Arab, Greek, Roman, Norman and Baroque history; a vibrant modern culture; great food; lush and stark physical beauty. But like the implication of its geographic setting, the place can really kick you when you least expect it.
The problem is, Sicily is the ultimate offer you can’t refuse. There’s simply too much to see, which explains why people from the Greeks to the Mafia have been fighting to control the place for 3,000 years.
So Sicily presents a list of dos and don’ts. The main don’t: Don’t try to do too much. You’ll want to go to Trapani and Marsala on the west coast, Agrigento on the southern shore, a few towns such as Corleone and Enna in the heartland, and also Mount Etna, Taormina and Syracuse on the east coast.
But you can’t do it all unless you have three weeks. Getting around is difficult: In Sicily, a 100-kilometer trip takes 30 minutes on the autostrada or two days on an interior backroad that looks like a superhighway on the map. During one poorly planned day, I started a two-hour drive from Mount Etna to Palermo in the early morning, then foolishly visited a cute hill town. Next thing I know, I was late for dinner.
Do rent a car, but don’t drive away without checking everything: Our vehicle’s inspection paperwork was out of date. So when the carabinieri stopped us in a random checkpoint, we not only got a summons for driving an uninspected car, but a second one for driving without an international drivers license (yes, you need one of those). So don’t expect local cops to be reasonable when you show a valid NYS drivers license.
So let’s review the “dos” and “don’ts” if you only have a week to spend in Sicily:
n Do go to Palermo, which offers far more depth and intrigue than the island’s other main city, Catania. There are the requisite Baroque churches framing piazzas every bit as gorgeous as those in Tuscany. There are narrow alleyways laid out thousands of years ago and reveal Sicily’s African roots. There are luxury speedboats bobbing in the marina and three vibrant markets where the locals get their sardines.
It’s a real working city — like a disheveled version of Rome.
You could easily spend three days here, but limit it to two — and save a good part of your time for a food tour by local chef Patrizia Santonocito (SicilianDays.com). I’ve been to plenty of “cooking classes” in foreign lands, but Santonocito offers something much broader than merely getting you through three local recipes. First, she brings tourists through the Capo market, the best of Palermo’s three food centers. Then, she invites guests into her home, where they cook with her and get the lowdown on Palermo life. And there is plenty of wine.
Then her husband Alfredo shows up and starts talking about how he fought the Mafia in Palermo’s dark times of the 1980s. That’s when it gets really good. The food is outstanding, too.
Santonocito also told me about Palermo’s only velvet rope scene — the after-hours disco on the roof of La Rinascente department store. After a day of looking at old churches (and old ladies inside them), it was refreshing to see the town’s young cognoscenti partying to techno music and downing fancy cocktails. And given that we were in Italy, it was like one big fashion show. The women, too.
But don’t spend too much time in Palermo. Pickpockets are everywhere, one wrong turn and you’re in a neighborhood that still hasn’t been fixed from World War II, and tourist attractions such as the Cappella Palatina close without warning. Get used to disappointment.
Do leave Palermo and head towards Syracuse in the southeastern corner of the island. Along the way, you can enjoy a visit to Enna, with its 1,000-year-old castle; Morgantina, with ancient Greek ruins; the Baroque fantasyland of Noto; and the hill towns of Ragusa and Modica, famous for its chocolate.
But don’t plan on seeing them all in one day because you’ll need to make an obligatory stop at Villa Romana del Casale (villaromanadelcasale.it), an 1,800-year-old compound that may have been the summer home of Roman emperor Maximian. The attraction here are the mosaics, which were perfectly preserved, thanks to a landslide in the 1100s. Every room has a theme — hunting, sports, farming, etc — but the highlights are the famous “Room of the 10 Girls,” with its bikini-clad athletes, and a mosaic of Cupid and Psyche that proves delightfully that the emperor was an ass man.
In this region, the best place to stay is Eremo della Giubiliana, a converted 12th-century convent with lavish rooms, beautiful grounds and a great restaurant. It also has its own landing strip... if you’re a real high flyer.
Do go to Mount Etna, but not for the volcano, which, frankly is boring. Who wants to look at a mountain covered in metallic soot? Fortunately, Etna is the center of a charming region of cute towns, great food and wineries.
Barone di Villagrande is one of the largest in the area — which, by Etna standards, means its still smaller than the bathroom at a Gallo plant. Try all the wines — but buy a few bottles of the Etna Bianco, a clean, soft white unique to the region.
The winery even has four guest rooms, but the standout hotel in the area is Monaci delle Terre Nere, a lemon, olive and grape farm on the eastern slope of Etna. Rooms are modern and the restaurant is outstanding.
Do go to Randazzo to eat lunch at one of the best country restaurants I’ve ever found: San Giorgio e Il Drago. The pastas are sublime and the rabbit is worth a trip from anywhere. But don’t go to Randazzo if you’re planning to go somewhere else later. Just getting from Catania or another east-of-Etna town to Randazzo can take a whole day, with obligatory stops in Paterno, Adrano and Bronte (for the pistachio ice cream!). All stops are worth it (even if the road between the villages is oddly garbage strewn!).
Do go to Taormina, but don’t expect peace and quiet from June through August, when the excellent arts and film festivals pack Corso Umberto with even more tourists.
The best time to visit this historic town — perched not so much on a hill, but on a needle on top of a hill! — is in September, when the crowds leave and the beaches empty. The temps were still in the mid-80s when we visited in mid-October. All year long, the main attraction of Taormina is the 2,300-year-old Greek Theater, still in use today.
Do stay in Taormina’s best hotel, Grand Hotel Timeo, which is worth every penny of the splurge. It is without question one of the best hotels in the world — and make sure to set aside two hours to fully appreciate the included breakfast buffet — and sitting on its deck looking out over Mount Etna and the bay is a vacation in itself. Don’t fail to use the hotel’s shuttle to take you to the sister hotel, Villa Sant’Andrea, on the beach a few miles away. Otherwise, you have to ride the funicular to the public beach.
And the most important do: Return to Sicily when you have more time — there are weeks’ worth of more sights to see.
Getting there: There are no direct flights to Palermo or Catania. A round-trip can be had for $1,000, but read the offers closely — some force you to stay in Rome for a full day.
Stay: Monaci delle Terre Nere (monacidelleterrenere.it), rooms start at $150; Eremo della Giubiliana (eremodellagiubiliana.it), rooms start at $180; Grand Hotel Timeo (belmond.com/grand-hotel-timeo-taormina), rooms start at $500.
Eat: Osteria Lo Biano, Via Notarbartolo 12, Palermo (osterialobianco.it), real local food and characters; L’Ottava Nota, Via Butera, 55, Palermo (ristoranteottavanota.it), upscale versions of classic Sicilian dishes; Nautoscopio bar, Foro Italico east of Porta Felice, sit on crates on the beach with real Palermitans; Caffe Sicilia, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, 125, Noto, best gelato in Sicily.

Paragraph: (CNN) -- Guatemala's government has declared a state of siege and sent hundreds of troops to a northern province where officials say a Mexican drug gang is overtaking towns and threatening residents. President Alvaro Colom announced the 30-day emergency rule in Alta Verapaz on Sunday. The rule allows the military to order anyone suspected of conspiring against the government to be arrested and imprisoned without a warrant, the state-run AGN news agency said. "Starting today, combined forces will retake the streets of Alta Verapaz," a government statement released Sunday morning said. Government data shows cells of the drug gang known as Los Zetas are in the area to protect drug trafficking paths between Honduras and Mexico, "intimidating the population with their heavy weapons and threatening farmers to give up their land for criminal activities," AGN reported. The state of siege also allows the government to place greater restrictions on public gatherings, travel visas and gun licenses, among other things, according to AGN. "The population should be calm. What we are doing is not intended to persecute honest, working people," Interior Minister Carlos Menocal told reporters. Menocal said operations in the coming days would aim to boost regional security, regain control of territory, identify criminal gangs and capture their members. In an interview with CNN en Espanol last month, Menocal said his country needed more help from the United States to combat cartels, which were increasingly carving out new drug transport paths. "In the end, the large majority of drugs travel through Central America, and the assignment of resources or the financial support of the United States government is not the same as Colombia and Mexico receive," he said. Menocal said clashes between authorities and Los Zetas had notably increased.
Question: "Why did the Guatemalan government call a 30 day emergency rule?"
Answer: "To put an end to drug menace"
