News...    sponsored by      This image released by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., shows Jupiter's ice-covered moon, Europa. Every new discovery makes it seem more likely that we are not alone. The case for some kind alien life somewhere else in the universe is steadily building. In the past few days, scientists have revealed there are three times as many stars as they previously thought and that a bacteria can live on arsenic, expanding our understanding of how life can thrive under the harshest and strangest environments. Those findings came on the heels of the first discovery of a potentially habitable planet. AP photo/Jet Propulsion Lab

From left, Lynnette Maske, Jo Richner and Phyllis Beccue hold their new books just signed by Lincoln historian and author Paul Beaver. The signing was at Saddie's Secret Place, the former Bertoni's Restaurant (1912-1980) in Mount Pulaski. The business is located on the site of the 1844-1901 Mount Pulaski House, which was the hotel where Abraham Lincoln, Judge David Davis, Samuel Treat and Stephen A. Douglas met, dined and slept during their visits to the Mount Pulaski Courthouse, which was one of 14 county seats (1848-1855).  Picture and information from Phil Bertoni
