QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."

FACT OF THE DAY
Martin Luther King Jr. Day was created 15 years after his assassination. Congressman John Conyers, a democrat from Michigan, introduced the original legislation four days after King's death in 1968. The bill stalled, but petitions that endorsed the holiday with more than six million signatures were submitted to Congress.

ODD NEWS
Man gets prison for stealing meat
ORANGBEURG, S.C. — A South Carolina man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing an $80 slab of meat. The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reported Thursday that 51-year-old Mark Zachary of Orangeburg received the maximum sentence after jurors found him guilty Wednesday of shoplifting. Prosecutors said the sentence was justified because the Aug. 26 theft from Reid's grocery store in Orangeburg was his ninth offense.
Assistant Sollicitor Glenn Justis asked jurors "Where's the beef?" in his opening argument.
Authorities said when a store manager approached Zachary about the missing New York strip and the big bulk under his shirt, he fled, right into the arms of an off-duty police officer.
Zachary testified he was "mas saging" the meat, not stealing it.

On Tuesday, the Jackson County prosecutor's office charged 19-year-old Alesa McMullen of Kansas City with Class D felony property damage. It wasn't immediately known if McMullen has an attorney. A phone listing for her could not be found.
