WHITFIELD: Kings, queens, and knights. That tops our look at the stories cross country this morning. Ice sculptures in Grand Rapids, Michigan, created a larger than life chess set with pieces carved from ice, as you see there. The company Ice Sculptures Limited then took on the West Michigan Chess Masters. They may be talented ice carvers but their chess game is lacking. The Chess Masters called checkmate five minutes into the game. In north Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, a young thief didn't just snatch Alicia Campbell's (ph) gold cross, he took one of her most precious possessions. Campbell gave her mom the gold cross and necklace five years ago last summer as her mom lay dying in a hospital bed. Her mom gave it back to Campbell and she says that she vowed to never take it off. Well now Campbell just hopes the thief has a change of heart. And it was a bad day for Seattle's self-proclaimed crime fighter. Phoenix Jones is the guy who dresses in spandex and fights bad guys where he finds them. Well, he was breaking up a brawl over the weekend and was holding one unruly guy on the ground when another pulled a pistol. And one of the bad guys then kicked him in the face, breaking his nose, in fact. Police say Jones should call police instead of trying to be that superhero. Critics say Senator Bernie Sanders is trying to cash in on the tragedy in Tucson. We'll see why he refers to the shootings in a fundraising e-mail. And we're taking you on the road to Armenia for a lesson in early man. The question this morning is, when was the first glass of wine made? The answer just might surprise you.
