TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1612, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei observed the planet Neptune, but mistook it for a star. (Neptune wasn’t officially discovered until 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle.) In 1694, Queen Mary II of England died after more than five years of joint rule with her husband, King William III. In 1832, John C. Calhoun became the first vice president of the United States to resign, stepping down because of differ ences with President Andrew Jackson. In 1908, a major earthquake followed by a tsunami devastated the Italian city of Messina, killing at least 70,000 people. In 1945, Congress officially recognized the Pledge of Alle giance. In 1972, Kim II Sung, the premier of North Korea, was named the country’s president under a new constitution. In 1981, Elizabeth Jordan Carr, the first American “test-tube” baby, was born in Norfolk, Virginia. In 1987, the bodies of 14 relatives of Ronald Gene Simmons were found at his home near Dover, Arkansas, after Simmons shot and killed two other people in Russellville. (Simmons, who never explained his motives, was executed in 1990.) In 1999, Clayton Moore, television’s “Lone Ranger, died in West Hills, California, at age 85.

CELEBRITY REPORT Court records detail Spacey’s encounter with teenager A Massachusetts man who says he was groped by Kevin Spacey at a Nantucket res taurant in 2016 caught part of his encounter on video, according to court records. The then 18-year-old man sent a video via Snapchat to his girlfriend that allegedly showed Spacey touching the front of his pants, according to a state police report filed in Nantucket District Court and obtained by the Cape Cod Times. Spacey’s lawyers said at a show-cause hearing last week the video shows someone’s hand touching another person’s shirt, but does not show anyone being groped, accord ing to The Boston Globe, which obtained an audio recording of the hearing. Spacey, 59, faces arraignment Jan. 7 on a charge of indecent assault and battery. The case came to light in November 2017 when former Boston news anchor Heather Unruh said Spacey had groped her son. In trying to get a court clerk magistrate to rule there wasn’t enough evidence for Spacey to be charged, Los Angeles-based attorney Alan Jackson pointed out that Unruh’s son did not report the allegations to police right way, lied about his age say ing he was 23, and said he was so intoxi cated he may have blacked out shortly after Spacey allegedly groped him. Jackson also said Unruh’s son made no effort to move away from Spacey. Arizona man finds magic moments in TV show about uncle Houdini to air Jan. 6 Growing up, George Hardeen never thought too much about being related to arguably the most famous magician of all time, whose name is synonymous with great escape. But at 66, the Arizona man is delving into the history of his great-uncle Harry Houdini in a journey at the heart of a new series on the Science Channel. “We spoke to many collectors and histo rians. These guys live Houdini all the time,” Hardeen said. “They know more about Houdini than I will ever be able to. ” “Houdini’s Last Secrets,” which begins air ing Jan. 6, follows Hardeen as he and escape artist Lee Terbosic explore the engineering behind Houdini’s most legendary feats. The Hungarian-born illusionist, who came to the U.S. as a child, generated headlines in the early 1900s for escaping from handcuffs, straitjackets and even a milk can. Each of the four episodes focuses on a dif ferent stunt, including being buried alive and the water torture cell, in which Houdini was lowered upside down into a water tank with his feet locked in stocks. “No one knows how Houdini did the tricks. So, we pondered it and came up with our own methodology so that Lee could perform the trick,” Hardeen said. Wyatt Channell, a Science Channel execu tive producer, said Houdini knew how to create a persona and hold people’s interest but the program tries to look at him from a different perspective. “Everybody thinks of him as an escape artist, illusionist and magician. But there was a ton of engineering behind what he was doing,” Channell said. The production company approached Hardeen about a year ago. “I think, in many ways, the show is George’s journey,” Channell said. “George is really the one, as the everyman, asking the questions we all are wondering: How Houdini did these things.” Associated Press WEATHER Gainesville 5-Day Forecast #AccuWeather download the free app TODAY TONIGHT SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY mild HIGH: 64° LOW: 47° M111f 1 'nT'M 63750° 54752° 66757° 59740° RFT: 65744 ° 1 RFT: 51746 ° 1 RFT: 65753 ° 1 RFT: 55740 Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: Precip chance: 80% 25% 10% 75% 75% 30% RFT: The patented AccuWeather.com RealFeel Temperature® is an exclusive index of effective temperature based on eight weather factors.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21 -April 19). This issue you’re dealing with will be solved with a new frame of mind. Finding the frame of mind can be as easy as finding a picture frame. You simply ex periment. What looks good to you? What works for the space you have? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can tell that someone is dangling a carrot to get you to move forward in the direction of their choosing. But as long as they actually give you the carrot, and it’s a direction that’s OK with you, all will be well. GEMINI (May 21-June21). As a leader, your role will be to make sure everyone else has a role. You’ll be in a position to check in with each person, in forming and course correcting where necessary. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The mental exercise that will help you make a decision will include posing hypothetical questions, for instance, “What would someone who’s madly in love with you suggest you do in this scenario?” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know yourself and so it’s not necessary to ruminate over which way to go. There will be no hesitation, no waiting. It’s like you look forward to a straight road of green lights as far as the eye can see. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As cool as it would be to wake up one morning with the capabil ity of observing, understanding and experiencing the world on a whole different level, these things happen gradu ally. Awareness takes practice. You’ll get plenty today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). While some claim free speech as their right, others regard it as a continual obligation. As for you, talking takes more energy than you think it should today, so you’ll process silently and chime in only when necessary. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You could do the job without help, but it would take longer and be harder, and not half as fun. Make sure the others know how much you appreciate be ing part of an excellent team. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re compassionate and you see beyond your own situation into the heart of the world. And yet, some compart- mentalization is appropriate. Knowing what is and is not your problem will help you live well today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Most people think to ask for spiritual guidance when things aren’t going well. But why not seek spiritual guidance when things are going just fine? It will make a good time even better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Achieving more success is never the answer. Before long, expectations and desires will rise in tandem. Do what it takes to be happy now. An attitude shift might be all that’s neces sary. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). We organize our lives around the meaning of things, and yet what a thing means isn’t a fixed fact. Rather, it’s either an agreement you make with yourself or one you come to with others. Just know that meanings can change.
