STRESS. OR FAKING IT, IN ORDER TO GET AN INSANITY PLEA.

MEANWHILE PROSECUTORS SAY THIS IS STILL A VERY ACTIVE INVESTIGATION

Carol Chambers -Attorney for the 18th Judicial District

We are still looking at an enormous amount of evidence and we would never

presume that it would be slam dunk.

THE COURT HEARING MAY NOT HAVE PROVIDED ANY CLUES AS TO WHAT MADE HOLMES

ALLEGEDLY SNAP. BUT THIS MORNING. WE ARE LEARNING MUCH MORE ABOUT HIS

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Rain chances slipping away"

Rain chances are coming down today as the tropical moisture starts heading for the exit gates, leaving us with a hotter and drier weather pattern through the end of the week.

It appears enough lingering moisture will still be in play to produce a few isolated downpours and thunderstorms late in the morning through midday , but an onshore flow will push the spotty storms inland this afternoon.

We'll also enjoy a lot more sunshine today and, as a result, some warmer temperatures. Most spots will be on track to see lower 90s this afternoon except near the beaches where temperatures will stay a couple degrees lower.

Winds will be light and variable this morning before becoming southwesterly from 5-10 later in the afternoon. For the boaters and beach goers, winds will be primarily out of the southwest around 5 knots this afternoon, putting seas and open waters at 2 feet or less while inland waters stay at a light chop.

Inland storms will fade by sunset tonight, leaving all of us with clearing skies and lows in the middle 70s.

WITH MANY AMERICANS STRUGGLING WITH DAY-TO-DAY FINANCES -- IT'S NO SURPRISE -- MANY ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY PLANNING THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURES.

PLANNING YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE-PKG

THE SLUGGISH U-S ECONOMY HASN'T MADE IT EASY FOR A LOT OF AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS TO THINK ABOUT THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURE.

A NEW SURVEY FROM THE CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA AND THE CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER BOARD OF STANDARDS ASKED FINANCIAL DECISION-MAKERS IN FAMILIES ABOUT THEIR MONEY PLANNING DURING THE NATION'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY. LESS THAN ONE-THIRD SAID THEY HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL PLAN.

PLANNING'S NOT JUST ABOUT RETIREMENT. IT'S ABOUT SHORTER-TERM GOALS TOO.

Certainly, people think about retirement, but education planning, planning for rainy days, emergencies, credit management, and estate planning and taxes, all are an important part of financial planning.

MORE THAN HALF OF THOSE SURVEYED SAID INVESTING JUST SEEMS TOO COMPLICATED, OR THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST FOR FINANCIAL ADVICE.

SIMPLE SAVING CAN BE A GOOD START. DON'T SKIP IT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T THROW A LOT OF MONEY AT A LONG-TERM GOAL. SMALL INCREMENTS CAN ADD UP IF YOU START EARLY ON A CHILD'S EDUCATION FUND OR A RETIREMENT FUND.

THE WORLD'S LEADING H-I-V AND AIDS RESEARCHERS -- HAVE GATHERED IN THE NATION'S CAPITOL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 22 YEARS.

THEY'RE USING WORDS MANY PEOPLE *NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE --

LIKE "CURE."

ALSO -- THE VERY REAL POSSIBILITY OF AN "AIDS-FREE GENERATION."

INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE-PKG

SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES IN H-I-V RESEARCH IN RECENT YEARS HAVE LED THE NATION TO A GAME-CHANGING MOMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS.

"We can start to begin to end the AIDS epidemic. Most people don't know that."

THAT BELIEF IS SHARED BY MANY OF THE ESTIMATED 25-THOUSAND DOCTORS AND ACTIVISTS IN WASHINGTON, D-C THIS WEEK FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE.

"I'm trying to get more and more people treated, and to change the attitude."

DR. MYRON COHEN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA LED GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH LAST YEAR THAT FOUND TREATING HIV-INFECTED PEOPLE WITH ANTI-RETROVIRAL DRUGS AS SOON AS THEY'RE DIAGNOSED REDUCES THE LIKELIHOOD BY 96-PERCENT THEY'LL PASS THE VIRUS TO UNINFECTED PARTNERS.

"So if you treated a person, you rendered them no longer contagious."

ALONG WITH CONDOM USAGE, DRUGS MAY ALSO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BECOMING INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

TRUVADA WAS RECENTLY APPROVED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR ACQUIRING H-I-V.

"There's a great deal of hope and optimism, but we're cautious."

THE RATE OF H-I-V INFECTION IS SKYROCKETING AMONG YOUNG, AFRICAN AMERICAN, GAY MEN.

POVERTY AND POOR SELF-ESTEEM ARE MAJOR REASONS MANY OF THESE MEN DON'T INSIST ON USING CONDOMS,

DON'T GET TESTED. AND DON'T GET TREATED.

"Every day, we hear their experiences of homophobia, of racism, uh, of the things that just tear at their being."

"No matter who you are or who you love"

"Everyone deserves compassion and dignity."

charges and served time behind bars. The girls disappeared after leaving

in a paddle-boat about the time the girls disappeared.

WEATHER-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Rain chances slipping away"

Rain chances are coming down today as the tropical moisture starts heading for the exit gates, leaving us with a hotter and drier weather pattern through the end of the week.

It appears enough lingering moisture will still be in play to produce a few isolated downpours and thunderstorms late in the morning through midday , but an onshore flow will push the spotty storms inland this afternoon.

We'll also enjoy a lot more sunshine today and, as a result, some warmer temperatures. Most spots will be on track to see lower 90s this afternoon except near the beaches where temperatures will stay a couple degrees lower.

Winds will be light and variable this morning before becoming southwesterly from 5-10 later in the afternoon. For the boaters and beach goers, winds will be primarily out of the southwest around 5 knots this afternoon, putting seas and open waters at 2 feet or less while inland waters stay at a light chop.

Inland storms will fade by sunset tonight, leaving all of us with clearing skies and lows in the middle 70s.

SMOOTHIE TASTE TEST-ON CAM

SUMMER TIME GOES HAND-IN-HAND. WITH ICE-COLD FROZEN DRINKS.

AND NOW MANY FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS OFFER FRUITY SMOOTHIES.

BUT WHICH SMOOTHIE GIVES YOUR TASTE BUDS --

THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK?

LIZ CRENSHAW SHOWS US THE RESULTS.

SMOOTHIE TASTE TEST-PKG

SOCCER STAR DAVID BECKHAM STARS IN BURGER KING'S CAMPAIGN AD FOR THIS SUMMER'S NEW SMOOTHIE.

IT CLAIMS IT USES "REAL FRUIT".

SMOOTHIES WERE ONCE POPULAR IN THE 1960'S AND TODAY THE PUREED FRUIT DRINKS ARE MAKING A STAR-STUDDED COMEBACK.

SO WE TOOK BURGER KING'S SUMMERTIME SMOOTHIE AND PUT IT UP AGAINST MCDONALD'S AND SMOOTHIE KING IN A BLIND TASTE TEST.

WE ORDERED ALL BANANA STRAWBERRY AND WE LABELED THEM A, B AND C.

"I liked "a""

"Tell me about "a"."

"It was tangier."

LETTER "A" IS MCDONALDS. WE PAID $3.39 FOR 24 OUNCES.

IT'S MADE WITH STRAWBERRY AND BANANA PUREE AND GRAPE AND PINEAPPLE CONCENTRATED JUICES.

""a" tasted pretty fresh and natural."

""a" was a little more tart than I prefer."

"And why do you like "a"?"

"It's more flavorful."

"There is a difference. oh. oh yes, there's a great difference. This is 'b" seems to be a little more sweeter."

LETTER "B" IS THE NEW COMPETITOR FROM BURGER KING. WE PAID $3.49 FOR 20 OUNCES.

BURGER KING SAYS IT MIXES REAL FRUIT AND JUICES WITH LOW-FAT YOGURT.

"I like "b" it taste more berry."

"It definitely had the most real fruit taste."

""b" just taste like it was kind of processed."

""b" is the best."

"What is it about "b" you liked?"

"Tastes the freshest to me."

"I like "c" the best."

"You like the c the best? You have expensive taste young man, it's Smoothie King and it's two dollars more."

LETTER "C". SMOOTHIE KING. COST US $5.29 FOR 24 OUNCES.

THAT IS ABOUT TWO DOLLARS MORE THAN MCDONALD'S AND BURGER KING.

BESIDES STRAWBERRIES AND BANANAS. IT'S MADE WITH SOY PROTEIN. NON-FAT MILK. VANILLA. TURBINADO SUGAR AND HONEY.

""c" was too banana-ee."

""c" tasted very bland."

"I liked "c""

"What is it about "c"?"

"It wasn't too sweet but it had a little bit of sweetness and it was nice and smooth."

AFTER 41 TASTERS. THE VOTES WERE IN.

LETTER C. SMOOTHIE KING. OUR MOST EXPENSIVE SMOOTHIE GOT THE FEWEST VOTES WITH 7.

LETTER A. MCDONALD'S EARNED 15 VOTES.
