Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 23, 1954, the first mass inoculation of schoolchildren against polio using the Salk vaccine began in Pittsburgh as some 5,000 students were vaccinated.
On this date:
In 1685, composer George Frideric Handel was born in present-day Germany.
In 1822, Boston was granted a charter to incorporate as a city.
In 1836, the siege of the Alamo began in San Antonio, Texas.
In 1848, the sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams, died in Washington D.C., at age 80.
In 1870, Mississippi was readmitted to the Union.
In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill creating the Federal Radio Commission, forerunner of the Federal Communications Commission.
In 1942, the first shelling of the U.S. mainland during World War II occurred as a Japanese submarine fired on an oil refinery near Santa Barbara, California, causing little damage.
In 1945, during World War II, U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima captured Mount Suribachi, where they raised two American flags (the second flag-raising was captured in the iconic Associated Press photograph.)
In 1965, film comedian Stan Laurel, 74, died in Santa Monica, California.
In 1998, 42 people were killed, some 2,600 homes and businesses damaged or destroyed, by tornadoes in central Florida.
In 2004, the Army canceled its Comanche helicopter program after sinking $6.9 billion into it over 21 years. Education Secretary Rod Paige likened the National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers union, to a "terrorist organization" during a private White House meeting with governors. (Paige later called it a poor choice of words, but stood by his claim the NEA was using "obstructionist scare tactics.")
In 2005, a jury was selected in Santa Maria, California, to decide Michael Jackson's fate on charges that he'd molested a teenage boy at his Neverland Ranch. (Jackson was later acquitted.)

Five years ago: The Sochi Olympics completed a 17-day run with Canada's 3-0 victory over Sweden in the men's hockey final, the last of 98 gold medal events. Dale Earnhardt Jr. persevered through rain and wrecks to win the Daytona 500 for the second time, a decade after his first victory in the "Great American Race." Alice Herz Sommer, 110, believed to be the oldest survivor of the Holocaust, died in London. Samuel Sheinbein, 33, who'd fled from the U.S. to Israel after murdering and dismembering a Maryland man in 1997, was killed in a shootout at an Israeli prison.
One year ago: Rick Gates, a former senior adviser to Donald Trump's election campaign, pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and false-statements charges, becoming a cooperating witness in the probe of Trump's campaign and Russia's election interference. Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced plans to put more armed guards in schools and make it harder for young adults and some with mental illness to buy guns. Teachers and staff returned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, for the first time since the shooting that left 17 people dead. Canada's Olympic men's hockey team failed to reach the final at the Winter Olympics in South Korea, losing to Germany 4-3 in the semifinals.

WFLA 8 On Your Side Staff·23 hours ago
A home intruder was no match for a pistol-packing great-grandmother in Georgia.
"I've always said, don't ever let anybody come in and run you out of your own house," Gwendolyn Agard, 79 told WSB-TV.
Earlier this month, a suspected burglar broke into Agard's home. The accused burglar went to the back stairs of her home, broke a window and forced his way inside.
Agard called 911, then grabbed a gun to protect herself and her home.
"And I said to him, you come down these damn steps and I'll blow your f***** brains out. That's exactly what I said."
Agard fired two shots, but they missed the suspect. When deputies arrived, they found him hiding in a bedroom closet.
"That's why I say she's my hero. That she could do this at her age, I was very impressed. And I'm thankful the good Lord took care of her," said Connie Oliver, Agard's mail carrier.
Gwendolyn sees it that way too and says she's pretty sure he'll forgive the foul language.
"Trust me. God was all in the picture. Because my legs were trembling. I was saying, Lord have mercy Jesus. And then---'m*********r' the next time. It was all mixed in."
The suspect is facing a series of charges, including home invasion.

@SCDave: I don't want to set your expectations too high but I'm excited for you about Costa Rica. That was one of the best vacations I ever took. Very pretty country, although I wasn't impressed with St. José. I specifically remember the coffee being fantastic. Anyhoo, have a great time.Thanks, if I just catch a sailfish on a fly rod not much else matters. But I do hope for some good coffee.

A Villager was transported by ambulance to Ocala Regional Medical Center after falling down at a country club in The Villages.
The 63-year-old Country Club Hills woman had been walking shortly before 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at Orange Blossom Hills Country Club on the Historic Side of The Villages when she lost her balance and fell face first, landing on her forehead in a walkway, according to an incident report from the Lady Lake Police Department. Lake EMS arrived on the scene and immediately transported her to ORMC.
The woman’s 47-year-old male companion, who lives down the street from her, admitted they were both intoxicated. He added that she appeared to have consumed “several” drinks before they arrived at the country club.
