A noble-but-brutal Renaissance warrior who fell to a battle wound may not have died exactly as historians had believed, according to a new investigation of the man’s bones.

Italian researchers opened the tomb of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, or Giovanni of the Black Bands, this week to investigate the real cause of his death. Giovanni was born in 1498 into the wealthy and influential Medici family, a lineage that produced three Popes and two regent queens of France, among many other nobles (Another branch of the family, the Medicis of Milan, boasted a fourth Pope). He worked as a mercenary military captain for Pope Leo X (one of the Medici family’s Popes), and fought many a successful skirmish in his name. When Pope Leo X died in 1521, Giovanni altered his uniform to include black mourning bands, earning him his nickname.

Archaeologists open the tomb of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere in Florence.

Giovanni was wounded in battle in 1526; reportedly, his leg was amputated and he died several days later of infection. However, the new investigation of the Giovanni remains

BROCKLESBY shooter Steve Thornton is celebrating hitting the target again – after helping Team GB win gold at the European Championships in London.

He had already been selected for the squad that will compete at the World Championships in New Mexico next year – and he justified his place with a good display in the capital.

   SHARP SHOOTER: Steve Thornton, who was part of the Team GB squad who won gold in the European Championships.

He put in a solid performance in the individual category, finishing 13th out of 200 competitors from across the continent.

Thornton said: “It was brilliant to be a part of it. There’s an immense feeling you get from competing with some of the best in Europe, and obviously there’s a lot of pride involved.”

At the end of the first day in competition, he held the lead at the top with a four-point gap over the chasing pack, but difficult conditions on the second day meant that lead disappeared and he eventually finished

Two taken to hospital after carbon monoxide exposure

Two people were hospitalized Sunday for exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide in a home.

Kennebunk firefighters responded shortly before 10 a.m. after homeowners on Old Port Road reported that their carbon monoxide detector was going off.

Levels in the home were found to be high and the two occupants were taken to Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford for evaluation.

Firefighters said it’s likely the basement furnace caused the high levels of carbon monoxide.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) – No. 21 Connecticut found its 3-point shot in time to avoid an upset at the hands of Stony Brook.

The Huskies (5-1) hit their final eight attempts from behind the arc Sunday to rally for a 73-62 victory.

Niels Giffey came off the bench to score a career-high 15 points and grab eight rebounds for UConn and Shabazz Napier had 15 of his 19 points in the second half.

Omar Calhoun added 14 points. The three players combined to go 9 of 16 from 3-point range. The team finished 10 of 22.

“(Stony Brook) packed it in, packed it in, they dared us to shoot 3s,” said UConn coach Kevin Ollie. “Once we started getting in and understanding our offense and drawing two and taking an advantage, we started kicking it out and our guys were wide open.”

Dave Coley led Stony Brook (4-2) with 15 points and Tommy Brenton added 14.

The Seawolves led 33-26 early in the second half after a 10-0 run that overlapped with halftime.

“We came out with great energy in the first half and we were winning, so there was no

Utility trucks work to get power back up in New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy.

By Deborah Lockridge, Editor in Chief

As New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie teamed up with President Obama to tour the devastation wrought on his state in the days following Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Motor Truck Association Executive Director Gail Toth overcame power and Internet outages to make sure she was able to stay in touch with the state’s trucking firms and help them any way she could.

“No one seems to be able to recall anything so horrific descending on our state weatherwise,” she said in an interview the day before Thanksgiving. The closest thing was Hurricane Irene a year ago, and that was just a preview of what could happen when a big storm hits the heavily populated Northeast.

“We still have no clear data yet, no way of fully comprehending the damage that it did to trucking,” she says. “But it did a lot.”

Toth was able to keep a

President John F. Kennedy was supposed to just stop by and wave hello.

Instead a group of eager Latinos persuaded him to come inside and speak to a packed room of Mexican-American civil rights activists. And then he persuaded his wife, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, to address the crowd in Spanish.

It was Nov. 21, 1963. Hours later, the president was dead, his assassination overshadowing the significance of a speech that can be seen as the birth of the Latino vote, so instrumental in 2012 in helping re-elect the first black president, Barack Obama.

To historians, Kennedy’s appearance at the Rice Ballroom in Houston was likely the first time that a president officially acknowledged Latinos as an important voting bloc.

Though there are no plaques marking the historic occasion, the event is a touchstone for activists even if the spot where Kennedy sat and heard a band play Mexican ballads and where the crowd yelled “Viva Kennedy!” is now a refurbished ballroom in a loft apartment complex that often plays host to weddings.

“That evening … that’s where it began,” said Ignacio Garcia, author of “Viva Kennedy: Mexican Americans in Search of Camelot” and a history professor at Brigham Young University.

JayDee Luster is only a first-year graduate assistant for the No. 10 Arizona Wildcats, but he has something his bosses can’t touch.

Credibility. Fresh, on-court cred, the kind today’s 18- to 22-year-old players can relate to during the basketball season.

Just eight months ago, Luster was named the Mountain West Conference’s defensive player of the year at Wyoming. Just nine months ago, the gritty 5-foot-9 guard helped the Cowboys beat 11th-ranked UNLV in Laramie, Wyo.

UA assistant coach Book Richardson compares that to the 23-4 record he helped Pittsburgh-Johnstown to in 1997-98 and knows there is no contest. The current Wildcats were in elementary school back then.

“No one wants to hear what I did in 1998. They don’t care,” Richardson said. “You know what they say? ‘Well, let me see it on YouTube.’ So what helps us is that JayDee says, ‘Well, we beat UNLV.’ They say ‘When was that?’ He’ll say, ‘Last year.’”

Luster’s playing credentials, as well as the strong recommendations from Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt and Luster’s high school coach, grabbed the attention of UA coach Sean Miller.

A well-regarded point guard in the 1980s and 1990s with Pittsburgh, Miller also knew Luster could speak with authority to his current players.

Because he
