@placeholder, who was released on personal recognizance, is due to be sentenced on March 19. | By Associated Press Reporter PUBLISHED: 15:35 EST, 6 March 2013 | UPDATED: 17:15 EST, 6 March 2013 A married insurance agent accused of helping a Zumba instructor use her fitness studio as a front for prostitution was convicted Wednesday in a case that set off a guessing game in a small Maine town over who was on her customer list. Mark Strong Sr. controlled, supervised and managed the prostitution business and watched the sex acts live via Skype from his office 100 miles away, prosecutors contend. The married businessman acknowledged having an affair with dance instructor Alexis Wright and helping her open the Kennebunk studio but contended he didn't profit from her prostitution.

television special My Days in Dallas: A Remembrance With @placeholder, an | By Joshua Gardner PUBLISHED: 21:01 EST, 21 November 2013 | UPDATED: 14:37 EST, 22 November 2013 While the tragic death of a president was about to kickstart Rather’s impressive career, the then 32-year-old managed to find Abraham Zapruder and his film but couldn’t quite get his hands on it for CBS. ‘This is not a time when everyone has a camera,’ Rather told Tom Brokaw in an interview for NBC News. ‘Not everyone has a motion picture camera.’ As the first journalist to report John F.

"At that point, I said to my husband, 'I think there's a real opportunity and need here,'" said Harris, who has been working in interior design in @placeholder and Connecticut for more than 30 years. | (CNN) -- When a client asked Marcia Harris to furnish his daughter's 500-square foot, one-bedroom apartment in New York, the interior designer met her match. She struggled to find furniture scaled for a small space that served multiple purposes. Most sofas were too large to fit through the front door, let alone inhabit a hybrid living room-kitchenette. Tables, beds and ottomans lacked the storage space needed by a college student with a lot of clothing, handbags and shoes. So Harris took matters into her own hands, designing banquettes that held pots and pans and turned into beds, a storage ottoman that doubled as a seat and coffee table and modular bedroom storage units that fit through the front door.

Unlike those states, where a drug combination is used for capital punishment, @placeholder uses a single lethal dose of pentobarbital. | Condemned: Willie Trottie, 45, was put to death in Texas Wednesday for killing his common-law wife Barbara Canada and her brother Titus Canada A Texas death row inmate convicted of killing his former common-law wife and her brother more than two decades ago in Houston was executed by lethal injection Wednesday evening. Willie Trottie's death sentence was carried out about 90 minutes after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his last-day appeals. He had contended he had poor legal help at his trial and questioned the potency of the execution drug. Trottie repeatedly expressed love to witnesses - both people he selected and relatives of his victims, Barbara and Titus Canada - and several times asked for forgiveness as he was about to be executed.

Still clearly excited about the incident, for which @placeholder detectives believe he is either the shooter or a witness, red t-shirt spends about a minute and a half showing off to his friend, before they get back in the car, reverse out and drive off. | By Candace Sutton One hour after the early morning shooting up of a house in which a man sleeping in the front bedroom was seriously wounded, a man returned to the house to do a re-enactment for his mate. Caught on CCTV footage, the man and his mate are seen to pull up in the driveway of the house on Cruickshank Street, Blakeview, in the far northern suburbs of Adelaide. The driver of the dark blue VS Series 2 Holden Calais sedan leaps from the car and runs towards the dwelling. Clearly excited, the man, who is wearing a red t-shirt and shorts, fires with his finger at the house, aping the gun's recoil. His mate stands next to the car watching the enthusiastic recreation, which includes wild arm movements, staggering and the finger gun action.

The spacecraft observations revealed hydrated silicate-bearing outcrops at 175 different sites in @placeholder, almost all of which are associated with ecrater walls and rims, and central uplifts inside craters. | Water once flowed beneath the surface of Mars - and the warmer, wetter ancient planet could have been considerably more hospitable for life. Scans by spectrometers on board the Mars Express and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiters have revealed 175 outcrops in Mars's Tyrrhena Terra mountains that are unmistakably 'weathered' by water. The rocks, found in craters, seem to have been 'carved' out from beneath the crust by asteroid impacts - and offer an insight into the planet's history, and what lies beneath the surface. The find proves water flowed beneath the surface of Mars for a 'long period', say the researchers.

@placeholder is the name given to Japan's organized crime syndicates. | Tokyo (CNN) -- As Japanese authorities widen their investigation into ties between financial institutions and organized crime, an investigative reporter says the current allegations have left with a sense of "déjà vu." "In 2004, Citibank (Japan) lost their private banking license because they were allowing yakuza to do many complex transactions," Jake Adelstein, author of "Tokyo Vice" and an expert on Japan's mafia -- known as the yakuza -- told CNN. "They got spanked in 2009 for failing to update their databases and allowing yakuza to do business with them again. The Financial Services Agency (FSA), the country's financial regulator, will send inspectors to Japan's three largest banks -- Mizuho Bank, Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Bank -- to "review over their corporate governance, legal compliance and overall risk management," said Hiroki Kato, director of the Inspection Bureau of the FSA. The on-site inspections are scheduled to begin next week.

@placeholder, who is third in the standings 39 points behind his compatriot Lorenzo, was edged out by just 0.115 seconds. | (CNN) -- MotoGP leader Jorge Lorenzo hopes he can overturn Honda's qualifying dominance for Saturday's Assen TT race after setting the third fastest time behind Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa. The Spaniard holds a 25-point advantage over polesitter Stoner after winning the last three races in motorcycling's elite class. World champion Stoner recovered from a morning crash to deny Honda Repsol teammate Pedrosa first place on the grid.

Lawyers for Shayne Austin said Wednesday that the Tennessee man who'd once been offered immunity in exchange for his testimony against Zach Adams and Jason Autry killed himself somewhere outside the state. According to Austin's lawyer Luke Evans, the offer of immunity had been rescinded at some point since Austin first made the agreement last March. Prosecutors took back the offer allegedly after discovering that Austin had not been untruthful and uncooperative.

Though @placeholder's fiancée visa had lapsed, leaving her susceptible to deportation, our nation's anti-trafficking law provided a legal option for her to be granted permanent legal status by helping law enforcement to prosecute her trafficker. | (CNN) -- Nicole came to the United States from Indonesia on a temporary fiancée visa, fully expecting that she would enjoy life in a new country with the U.S. citizen she intended to marry. Instead, she found herself trapped as a victim of sex trafficking. Nicole (not her real name), like thousands of other women, was forced to engage in commercial sex acts against her will. We heard about her when she received support from the Salvation Army STOP-IT Program in Illinois, which serves victims who have been harmed by the sex trade. (The Salvation Army is a denominational member of the National Association of Evangelicals.) Eventually, Nicole escaped from her trafficker and assisted law enforcement in the prosecution of the crime committed against her.
