Slide 2: Attorney: Spitzer escort was 17 in 'Wild' videos LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A lawyer for the call girl linked to former New York Gov. Eliot Sptizer said the woman was only 17 when filmed for \"Girls Gone Wild\" videos in 2003. The Internet video release of \"Girls Gone Wild\" footage featuring Ashley Dupre has been delayed. After hearing from the attorney for Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the maker of \"Girls Gone Wild\" said the video's Internet release will be delayed. \"Girls Gone Wild\" founder Joe Francis also rescinded a $1 million offer to Dupre, now 22, for a new video after the company on Tuesday discovered it had footage of Dupre in its archives. In a statement Wednesday, Francis said he had received an e-mail from Dupre's lawyer Don Buchwald, saying Dupre may have been 17 in the videos shot in Miami, Florida, and not 18 as Francis had first claimed. In an e-mail to one of Francis' publicists -- forwarded by Buchwald to the AP -- the attorney said he was \"informed by Ashley that the video was in fact taken when she was underage (that is 17).\"

Slide 3: Local pastor killed by goat \"He was a wonderful man of God,\" chaplain said The Leaf-Chronicle The wife of a prominent Montgomery County pastor told deputies that her husband was apparently killed by a goat he was trying to return to a fenced-in area near their state Highway 13 home, according to Montgomery County Sheriff's Office spokesman Chaplain Ted Denny. The Rev. Liston Richardson, 76, pastor of Sunnyview Independent Missionary Baptist Church, was found dead by his wife, Lucille, after he didn’t return for some time, according to an incident report. Mrs. Richardson told Deputy David Johnson she found her husband laying on the ground — the rope used to tie the goat wrapped around Mr. Richardson's neck and feet. She said she noticed he wasn't breathing, but when she tried to get near her husband, the goat tried to attack her. \"It was a tragic accident,\" said Denny, who knew Mr. Richardson. \"He was a wonderful man of God.\" The goat was later shot, Denny said.

Slide 4: Wells Fargo to Sell Online Safes SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Recognizing not all banking customers want a safe deposit box, Wells Fargo & Co. plans to sell online vaults as a secure and convenient alternative for storing vital records. When the service rolls out this summer, Wells Fargo believes it will be the first major U.S. bank to offer an Internet alternative to the safe deposit boxes that have been an industry staple for decades. Because it can't store jewelry, cash and many other precious assets, Wells Fargo's online version isn't likely to replace the traditional safe deposit box. It's more likely to replace shoe boxes and home filing cabinets, said Jim Smith, who oversees the bank's Internet products. Called \"vSafe,\" the service is perfect for storing digital versions of birth certificates, wills, driver's licenses, passports, family photos and other important documents, Smith said. Customers will be able to retrieve the documents from any computing device with an Internet connection — a major advantage for frequent travelers. Always on the lookout for new sources of service fees, Wells Fargo will charge nearly $180 per year for its biggest online safe. The planned monthly fees will be: $4.95 for 1 gigabyte of storage: $9.95 for three gigabytes; and $14.95 for six gigabytes.

Slide 5: Lawmakers defend traditional coca use Fri Mar 14, 10:46 AM ET Lawmakers defiantly chewed coca in Peru's Congress on Thursday while criticizing a U.N. recommendation to criminalize traditional uses of the plant. The coca leaf, the raw ingredient of cocaine, is used by millions of people to stave off hunger and fight altitude sickness. It is also used in teas, in cooking and by fortune tellers. \"The coca leaf has existed for thousands and thousands of years. It's part of our agriculture, our food and our medicine. It's sacred,\" Congresswoman Hilaria Supa told Reuters before the start of Thursday's session. \"The United Nations doesn't know our culture. It doesn't understand our values,\" she said. Supa and Congresswoman Maria Sumire offered coca to their colleagues on the Congress floor from small hats. Dozens of politicians took handfuls and chewed the leaf during a raucous session with boos and hisses. Earlier this month, the International Narcotics Control Board of the United Nations in its annual report urged Peru and Bolivia to ban coca chewing, with an eye toward cutting cocaine production. Jose Garcia Belaunde, Peru's foreign relations minister, says Peru's right to chew coca is protected as an Andean tradition. Bolivian President Evo Morales, who rose to power as a leader of coca growers, has pushed to have it declassified as a drug. Peru and Bolivia are the world's second and third largest coca producers after Colombia. (Reporting by Dana Ford; Editing by Terry Wade and Xavier Briand)

Slide 8: Freedom High teacher out on bond, accused of having sex with student TAMPA -- A Freedom High School teacher is out on bond after being arrested Thursday afternoon for having sex with a student. 45-year-old Mary Jo Spack of Wesley Chapel bonded out of the Orient Road Jail around 820pm tonight. She said nothing to reporters after she left the jail. She is charged with 1 Count of Unlawful Sex with a Minor and 2 Counts of Contributing to the Delinquency of a minor. Investigators say there were 2 victims, ages 17 and 18. They say the teacher knew both students from Freedom High School where she worked as an Honors English teacher. According to reports, on March 14th, Spack took the boys to a liquor store, and then to a Howard Johnson Motel on Fowler Avenue, where she reserved a room and drank alcohol with the boys. Cops say Spack, who is married according to court records, had sex with the the 17 year old in the shower. Three other students from Freedom High School were also in the motel room, according to police.

Slide 9: Stabbing similarities just a coincidence, court told IT WAS \"sheer coincidence\", Jeffrey Gilham agreed, that all three of his family members had been stabbed 14, 13 and 16 times with great force in the region of the heart. It was also sheer coincidence that all three had been so stabbed while probably lying motionless on the floor, he agreed. And it was sheer coincidence all three were stabbed with the same knife, in a way that made it virtually impossible for them to survive, and that their assailant was probably kneeling on the ground, Gilham agreed. Stephen and Helen Gilham and their son Christopher were found dead in their Woronora home on August 28, 1993. But Gilham insisted he did not kill them all. He only killed his brother. \"I suggest to you that you killed all three of your family members by violently stabbing them with intent to kill them,\" the Crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi, QC, put to him. \"No, I did not,\" he replied.

Slide 10: Chip Off The Old Block Notice the resemblance in these father and son mug shots? MARCH 18--Meet the Bebees. Father Floyd, 48, and his son Justin, 21, were arrested last year (on different dates) in central Florida. As you can tell from the below mug shots, the Bebees are forehead tattoo enthusiasts. Another of Bebee's kids, Floyd III, is locked up until 2016 on a variety of felony convictions. And while the 23-year-old inmate has yet to get his head inked, he does have a swastika on his left leg, and the phrases \"Time Served\" and \"White Pride\" on his right leg. In a TSG interview, Floyd Bebee, a father of eight, said that he has a tattoo on the back of his head reading \"Got-R-Did.\" The ink on his forehead cost $125 and took about 45 minutes to complete, Bebee said, adding that he was the family trendsetter when it it came to such head art. Bebee, who does odd jobs like home remodeling and demolition, said that his wife had a succinct response to his forehead ink: \"You crazy,\" she said. Bebee noted that since his son's eyes are open in his mug shot, the photo does not reveal a hidden surprise: Justin has the words \"Fuck\" and \"You\" tattooed on his eyelids.
