Woman Spends Night In Jail For Picking Up Prescription Refill
Police in Dallas added insult to injury when they arrested a woman in a leg brace for a shattered knee on charges of forging her painkiller prescription, even though her doctor says no one ever checked with him to see if the 'scrip was legitimate.
The woman tells CBS Dallas Fort Worth that she'd called her local CVS to order a refill on her prescription for Norco. When it was ready, the pharmacist called her to ask when exactly she'd be coming by to pick up her meds.
The pills were not waiting for her at the counter, but a police officer was.
"He was like 'we need to go outside,'" she tells CBS. "I was on crutches and I had a permanent IV line in my arm. I had a big leg brace… He said, 'Well we believe that you have forged your pain pill prescription and we are calling your doctor now. But I've worked with this pharmacist a number of times and he's never made a mistake."
And yet, the issue was not resolved quickly, as she remained in jail overnight until finally being released on bond, but only after being charged with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.
She also was not allowed to return to work until she was able to show her employer that the arrest was made in error.
The police eventually dropped the charges but that's not stopping the woman for suing CVS for False Imprisonment and Defamation.
"Every doctor that prescribes a narcotic had a DEA number that's unique to them and if that is cross referenced and the correct doctor is contacted then I don't imagine that this type of thing would happen," her lawyer explains. "We suspect the wrong doctor was contacted because they didn't cross reference the DEA number."
The doctor confirms that he wrote the prescription but also says CVS never contacted him about it before his patient's arrest.
A CVS rep tells a CBS reporter, "We are investigating how this unfortunate incident occurred and we are working to resolve the matter."

Attorney general seeks more funding, staffBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 28. 2013 1:54AM
Soon after he was nominated and confirmed as the state's new Attorney General in April, Joe Foster called an old friend and associate at the McLane law firm, Greg Smith.
Smith, who had served as Attorney General from 1981 to 1984, had 55 attorneys in the Department of Justice during his tenure, Foster learned. "That's two more than are there today," he told a small group comprised mostly of attorneys from the state's leading law firms.
Foster was addressing a Thursday morning breakfast forum hosted by the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire, the statewide chamber of commerce. He urged the group to get behind his plans to make what he called the peoples' law firm "the best law firm in the state."
"The Legislature has been a little too tight with the Department of Justice budget," he said. With 53 lawyers, the department is smaller than it was in the early 1980s, when the state had a much smaller population and enjoyed greater immunity against lawsuits.
With better funding, Foster said the state could actually save money the Department of Justice has had to spend on outside attorneys, and could recoup more money in settlements.
"Even though outside counsel does a great job, we could spend less if we had more money for staff," he said. "I hope the business community will support efforts to help the department grow."
Given the flood of litigation the state has had to deal with in the past year, Foster said the Department of Justice has had to triage matters, putting a priority on major criminal cases and defending the state and its agencies against lawsuits.
As a result, important legal mandates have gone untended, Foster said, citing a cutback on public integrity investigations and efforts to train elected officials on their responsibilities under the state's right to know law. The wait for approval on new condominium agreements, which was once 30 to 60 days, is now six months or longer.
"The logjam has had a direct, adverse impact on the business community," said attorney John Funk of Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrel in Concord.
"We have to have the bodies to do it," Foster responded.
Turnover in the department is higher than it should be he said, as lawyers are not only leaving for private practice but being "poached" by other state agencies, he said, adding, "I have a great team in place," he said, "but I want to make it even better."
Foster, 53, had been with the McLane law firm for nearly 29 years, specializing in business and bankruptcy law. A Democrat, he is a former chairman of the state Senate Judiciary Committee, former Senate Majority Leader and a former member of the House.

A Middlesex Superior Court judge on Thursday sentenced a Natick man to 15 years in prison after he was convicted of raping a neighbor in 2012.
A Middlesex Superior Court jury on April 17 convicted Shane Squires of two counts of rape, aggravated rape, criminal harassment and carrying a dangerous weapon.
They found Squires not guilty on two counts of aggravated rape, rape, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Judge Heidi Brieger sentenced Squires to five years in prison for each rape count, to be served consecutively.
Brieger also sentenced him to 10 years of probation and ordered him to have no contact with the victim, to register as a sex offender, complete sex offender treatment and to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet.
Authorities say that Squires knew the victim "casually" because they were in neighbors. In June 2012, he would act strangely around the victim, carrying a knife and nunchucks. He also videotaped her while she slept without her knowing. He then raped the victim repeatedly in separate incidents.
"This defendant targeted a vulnerable victim, a person he believed would not disclose the abuse to others," Ryan said in the statement. "A jury has now held him accountable for his violent and harassing behavior."
Squires, who was living on Worcester Street at the time of the rape, has been held since his Aug. 17, 2012, Framingham District Court arraignment. He will get credit for 616 days served.

The Honda CR-Z rose to the top in the coupe category, recognized for offering best-in-class EPA fuel economy ratings, achieving the "Top Safety Pick" designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and offering reasonable maintenance and ownership costs.
Best Value automobiles offer the best financial value of all vehicles USAA evaluates as part of a broader rating system called USAA Preferred, which uses quantitative data to evaluate vehicles' cost, safety and reliability, among other key factors. There are nearly 80 cars, trucks and minivans that are currently designated as USAA Preferred vehicles, and the Best Value list represents the vehicles that rose to the top of each category.
"The CR-Z creates a whole new value category as the first true sport hybrid, offering great fuel economy, a low entry price, an available 6-speed manual transmission and a feisty change of character with the push of the Sport button," said Mike Accavitti, Vice President of National Marketing Operations for American Honda. "It's like having two cars for the price of one."
"The goal of the list is to help members identify vehicles that typically offer better safety ratings, lower insurance premium costs, higher fuel economy, better overall reliability and lower MSRP compared to other vehicles in the same category," said Steve Thompson, an assistant vice president at USAA. "The Honda CR-Z rose to the top as a vehicle that offers these key elements, making it a great buy for the value-minded consumer."

Sorrow after second NH drug-related concert death, but some upset at festival's cancellationBy Bill Smith
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 01. 2013 7:57PM
As the University of New Hampshire community mourned the death of a student who died after apparently ingesting a form of the street drug ecstasy at a music festival in New York, others have expressed outrage at the decision to cancel the festival's final performances Sunday.
UNH junior Olivia Rotondo, of Providence, R.I., was among the two people who died after being stricken at the Electronic Zoo music festival, which featured electronic dance music. Four others were hospitalized in critical condition.
UNH officials issued a statement Sunday on the death of Rotondo, 20, a communications major.
"University of New Hampshire officials were greatly saddened to learn of the recent death of Olivia Rotondo, a junior from Rhode Island," said the statement issued by spokeswoman Erika Mantz. "We extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends during this difficult time, and are focused on providing support and resources to our campus community."
Mantz said the UNH Counseling Center is open daily from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. A school hotline for students who need help in coping with the death is available 24-hours per day at 603-862-2090.
A statement released by the office of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the deaths "appear to have involved the drug MDMA (ecstasy, or molly)."
A Rochester, N.Y. man was also fatally stricken at the event. Four unidentified concert patrons taken to New York hospitals were reported in critical condition on Sunday.
The deaths prompted city officials and the event's promoter to cancel the final day of the weekend-long festival at Randall's Island in New York.
The promoter, Made Event LLC of Long Island City, N.Y. released a statement expressing "deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away."
The statement said the performances scheduled for Sunday were cancelled because "there is nothing more important to us than our patrons."
Refunds are being issued for the cancelled performance. A single-day ticket to the event was priced at $140.
Made Event touted the festival as "New York City's biggest electronic-dance-music festival."
Some fans who said they held tickets for the Sunday performance expressed outrage at the cancellation in postings on the event's Facebook page.
"You really can't expect thousands of people to pay for a few irresponsible ones," said one poster claiming to hold tickets for the event. "So many people look forward to this for months and its a life changing experience that you cannot take away like that."
Said another: "We don't want refunds we want to go to the festival today."
That comment received nearly 400 Facebook "likes" in a 12 hour period, but was harshly criticized by others who supported the decision to cancel the festival's final day.
Performers scheduled for the Sunday show in New York included German DJ Zedd.
The Russian-born Zedd was a featured performer at Boston's House of Blues last week when Brittany Flannigan, 19, of Derry died after taking what police said was likely the ecstasy derivative molly.
According to filings in June with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a firm headed by music and broadcasting entrepreneur Robert F. X. Silverman planned to acquire 70 percent of Made Event and a sister company with anticipated proceeds of an initial public stock offering.

David J. Munise, 63, of Raynham, died Friday night in a crash on Route 140. Police say the other driver, Nicholas G. Salvo, 23, of Norton, was drunk and ran a red light.
MANSFIELD – Police have identified the 63-year-old Raynham man killed in a two-car crash in Mansfield late Friday night as David J. Munise.
Witnesses told Mansfield police they saw Nicholas G. Salvo, 23, of Norton, run a red light at high speed just as Munise was making a legal left turn onto Norfolk Street where it intersects Route 140 in Mansfield.
Munise was pronounced dead at Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro after the crash, which was occurred shortly before midnight.
Police charged Salvo with vehicular homicide while driving drunk, reckless driving, speeding, failure to stop at a red light and a marked lanes violation.
Salvo was not seriously injured and was transported back from Rhode Island Hospital to police headquarters.
His bail was set at $10,000 pending arraignment Monday in Attleboro District Court, police said.

An often irreverent look at this week's other news, including a pending EU antitrust fine for Microsoft, Facebook buys a Microsoft ad platform, Windows 8 has roughly 2.7 percent market share, IE dominates the web browser market again, a potential sign of life for Windows RT, Barnes & Noble's NOOK circles the drain, and the Groupon CEO goes down in style.
Report: EU ready to fine Microsoft over browser ballot mistake
If one were to write an "Onion"-like parody site for the tech world, one couldn't have come up with a more ludicrous story than Microsoft pretending to mistakenly disable the court-ordered browser ballot screen in EU versions of Windows and then hoping no one noticed. And yet this story isn't just true, it's even dumber than it sounds because this transgression lasted a full 5 months before the EU caught on and called Microsoft's bluff. Microsoft offered a Jim Baker-like apology, as you may recall, but the EU later formally charged the firm with violating the terms of its 2009 antitrust settlement. And now the EU is getting ready to fine Microsoft yet again. (Microsoft has paid the EU fines of $2.1 billion related to antitrust transgressions so far.) According to an exclusive report by Reuters, EU antitrust regulators will fine Microsoft a "significant" amount by the end of March, though the actual amount is unknown. Is a bajillion a number?
Facebook buys Microsoft ad platform
Facebook announced this week that it would purchase Microsoft's Atlas Advertiser Suite for an undisclosed sum. This ad platform was part of Microsoft's misguided $6.3 billion purchase of aQuantive in 2007, a purchase that Microsoft wrote off to the sum of $6.2 billion in 2012. So if Facebook paid at least $100,000 for this thing, Steve Ballmer can sleep at night, I guess. According to Facebook, it will use Atlas to do something it's never been able to do so far: Monetize its amazing user base by selling ads. As for Microsoft, it claims that the sale "in no way … changes or diminishes" its commitment to display and search advertising.
Windows 8 has roughly 2.7 percent usage share
And yes, you can expect the usual and incorrect discussions elsewhere about "market share." According to NetApplications, Windows 8 accounts for 2.7 percent of all worldwide OS usage, up just a smidge from 2.3 percent a month ago and 1.7 percent from the month before that. Overall, Windows now accounts for 92 percent of all usage (unchanged month-over-month), compared to 7.2 percent for Mac (up a tiny bit) and 1.2 percent (unchanged) for Linux. Looking specifically at product versions, the top five OSes are Windows 7 (45 percent), Windows XP (39 percent), Windows Vista (5 percent), Windows 8 (2.7 percent) and Mac OS X 10.8 (2.6 percent).
Internet Explorer usage share rises yet again
Internet Explorer delivered its sixth straight month of worldwide usage share gains, according to data from NetApplications, ending February 2013 with about 56 percent of the market for computer-based web browser share. And sorry Chrome fans (relax, I'm one as well), but usage in Google's browser fell, for the second straight month, to about 16 percent, well below its May 2012 high of 20 percent. In fact, Chrome isn't even the second-most-frequently-used web browser, Firefox is. The Mozilla browser delivered over 20 percent of usage for the month, and while it hasn't trailed Chrome since last May, the gap between the two is now widening. Looks like we've settled into the new (old?) normal: When it comes to browsing the web, there's IE and then there's everything else. (Side-note: Someone will inevitably point out that StatCounter shows quite different statistics. And that's true, because StatCounter doesn't measure usage share—i.e. actual users—it measures page clicks. And Chrome page clicks aren't just not usage share, they're artificially high because of the way it pre-caches potential pages that users might visit to speed performance. Put simply, NetApplications' usage statistics actually measure usage while StatCounter's don't.)
Windows RT: Not dead yet?
Bring out your dead! With many PC makers refusing to make Windows RT devices during the Windows 8/RT launch window and sales of Microsoft Surface RT tablets being in the proverbial gutter, I'm starting to think that this fledgling OS isn't going to get the chance it deserves to make it in this dangerous world. But just when I was ready to write off RT for good, word comes from on high—OK, from southeast Asia—that PC maker Acer does in fact plan to release a Windows RT device of its own sometime in 2013. And this is particularly interesting because Acer, you may recall, has been the most vocal of all PC makers in its criticism of Microsoft making Surface and competing with its partners. Speaking at Mobile World Congress this week, Acer president Oliver Ahrens said that a Windows RT device would indeed be part of the firm's product line in 2013, though it's not clear if that means later in the year when more capable ARM hardware is available.
ROOK'd: Barnes & Noble's eBook strategy fizzles
When people ask me about ecosystems, there are some tough choices—as in digital music—but then there are some obvious, no-brainer choices too. And so it is with eBooks, where there is Amazon's Kindle and then there is everything else. And when I hear from people who are considering the Barnes & Noble NOOK in particular, I warn against it. And when Microsoft announced its $300 million investment in NOOK last year—part of a patent settlement I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. So I laughed, ruefully, when B&N released new NOOKs late last year that were based, again, on Android, and not on Microsoft's Windows 8/RT. And I simply cry now when I see that B&N's NOOK strategy isn't just failing, it's circling the drain. In a quarter in which overall tablet sales rose sharper than at any time, NOOK sales actually fell, year-over-year, by 26 percent, a shortfall that the firm described as "an obvious disappointment." I agree about the obvious bit. You know, since the NOOK's fate was always pretty obvious. The good news? You can read Kindle books with the Amazon Kindle app on a NOOK.
Groupon CEO leaves with a flourish
As you may know, Groupon this week fired CEO and founder Andrew Mason after a disappointing quarter in which a nose-diving stock price wiped out billions of dollars of value in the company. But give the guy a bit of credit. The high-flying Mason, who once turned down a $6 billion acquisition offer from Google, went out with a flourish. "People of Groupon," he wrote in his final email to employees. "After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon, I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding – I was fired today. If you're wondering why ... you haven't been paying attention." LOL. Good stuff.

Gary White to Become Next Editor of The Physics Teacher
AAPT has announced the appointment of Gary Dane White as the new editor for The Physics Teacher (TPT). White, currently on leave from the American Institute of Physics as a program director at the National Science Foundation, will start as the new TPT editor on August 1, 2013.
Regarding his appointment, White noted, "I am truly honored to be selected as the next Editor of TPT, and especially grateful for the vision of those who have worked so hard to develop such an incredible resource. In turn, I will strive to honor its noble legacy and maintain its great utility, while showcasing new, good ideas for teaching physics and further supporting the physics education community."
White received his B.S. in physics from Northeast Louisiana University in 1982, and his Ph.D. in nuclear theory at Texas A & M University (TAMU) in 1986. After a short stint at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, he returned to his home state, developing research interests in ion beam physics and pedagogy. In addition to teaching physics and astronomy for over a decade at Northwestern State University of Louisiana (NSU), being awarded Outstanding Teacher by the NSU Alumni Association in 1996, he taught the mathematics sequence for engineers at TAMU and, most recently, physics for non-science majors at The George Washington University.
As SPS and Sigma Pi Sigma advisor at NSU, he guided the chapter to a significant increase in activity, including several SPS chapter awards for a variety of undergraduate research and outreach projects. In 1998, he was elected Society of Physics Students' Zone 10 Councilor and eventually, President of the National SPS Council.
White served as the Director of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) and Sigma Pi Sigma at AIP from 2001-2012. While Director of SPS, he oversaw the production of six publications each year (the quarterly SPS Observer and the physics honor society's biennial Radiations), and worked with the editor and staff to change the look and content of those publications significantly. Furthermore, the presence of SPS events and students at AAPT meetings increased under his direction. Recently, his research interests have tended toward marble orbits on Spandex and unfair dice landings, often involving SPS members and their outreach participants in these experiments.
"Gary has been a member of AAPT since 1993 and is an avid reader, reviewer, and contributor to TPT. He knows the AAPT and TPT community and its needs. I look forward to having Gary join AAPT as TPT Editor," said Beth Cunningham, Executive Officer.

Housing starts increased by 3.6% last month to a rate of 894,000, according to numbers released by the U.S. Department of Commerce. This is the highest number since July 2008, and it exceeds predictions that building starts would fall to 840,000 in October, according to an analysis by Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co.
"The recent back-to-back string of three monthly increases in the level of starts is the first such event since August 2009," he says. "While on the one hand the monthly data clearly displays high volatility, the recent three monthly gains come at a time when starts have reached a four-year high."
Wilkinson points out that the recovery is still relatively slow, but says that it is still encouraging for the potential boost it could give to construction jobs. "While sustainability has yet to be proven, we find this development encouraging on account of what it tells us about employment prospects," he says. "This side of the coin is more important to policymakers at the Fed and is seen as a positive result only after policy adjustments gain traction."
Most of the increase came in the multi-unit sector rather than in single-unit homes, as has been the trend. The numbers were strongest in the West, which saw gains of 34,000 starts; overall new construction also increased in the Midwest. The Northeast and the South saw declines of 5,000 units and 11,000 units, respectively, largely owing to drops in single-family construction.
The number of housing permits, a leading indicator of future housing starts, dropped to 866,000, representing a decrease of 2.7%. Still, permit numbers have been generally strong for the past few months and have increased nearly 30% over October 2011 levels.
"Though coming off a low base, the housing sector is definitely picking up momentum which is good news for homeowners, builders and construction workers," the Wall Street Journal Market Data Center reported. "There's little initial reaction to today's report which however, like yesterday's strong results for existing home sales and the housing market index, should support the stock market through the session."
The Commerce Department's numbers are just the latest bright spot in a string of good news for the sector: On Monday, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo reported that homebuilder confidence in the single-family housing market was up five points in November. The same day, the National Association of Realtors released numbers showing a 2.1% rise in home sales in October.

Hey Carol! I know I've been completely MIA (and did you know I only noticed this week that you left all those comments on my flickr account, thank you! I've only just started to check it recently). Anyway, those are beautiful and how I miss being able to wander over to his shop. Pssst...and just so you know, it's Joyeux Noel. =)ReplyDelete
MARSI, what a good idea!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure I want to eat it...
It's a little too pink for me.
Now if it was caramel color that would be different.
Um, as to your last comment, Ms. CarolG, you are the artist. You can make it more caramel colour if you want.ReplyDelete
But even if you do make it more caramel color, you still won't want to eat it - still too pink. I'm with you on this one.ReplyDelete
Does Pierre leak his new creations to the mini makers or are the mini makers just using corporate espionage to get them while they're new?
Yum. I love that red macaron in the cascade photo. Well all of them look delicious.ReplyDelete

Lost among all the lionizing of Christopher Dorner as either a modern day Django or Nat Turner by people of the left are two names you might have forgotten:
Monica Quan & Keith Lawrence
While some people are remembering Mr Lawrence fondly:
Keith Lawrence's words were scrawled out on the white board before the game:
"Don't take the game for granted. You never know which one will be your last."
As if the Moorpark College men's basketball team needed a reminder this week, after Lawrence, who led the Raiders to a Western State Conference title and four postseason victories from 2004 to 2006, was killed last Monday in the parking complex of his Irvine apartment alongside his fiancee Monica Quan.
he was collateral damage as the real target was Ms Quan
As reported last night, the so-called "manifesto" Dorner left behind stated Monica's father, Randal Quan, who as an LAPD police captain advocated for the triple-murder suspect in disciplinary actions, had supposedly not fought vigorously enough on his behalf. Dorner had a special message for the retired cop directing him to look into the faces of his family members to explain why Monica Quan was taken out.
Read that again for a moment. Ms. Quan's father advocated FOR Christopher Dorner and because he was not successful, why his daughter HAD to die.
There was a time when someone said the word "Hero" they thought of people like "The Few" who saved England from the Nazis or the Band of Brothers of Easy Company
But now our society has reached a point where people who put multiple gunshots into young women get pages on facebook like the Christopher Donner appreciation society.
But they do justify their support:
Nearly 3,000 people like the page "I Support Christopher Jordan Dorner."
CBS13 posted a simple question: Why? Why support a man wanted for at least three killings and the author of a murderous manifesto promising to target cops?
One sympathizer wrote us, "Because something needs to be done about the long known corruption of not only the LAPD, but several agencies."
That something of course being gunning down a young woman and her husband to be.
Some may be surprised by this however if you have followed the Daniel Faulkner and Mumia Abu Jamal you would not be.
Just to remind you Mumia Abu Jamal was convicted of shooting officer Daniel Faulkner back in 1982, his case became a cause celeb among the left. His death sentence was delayed and delayed for three decades on appeal until finally the family agreed to the DA reducing the sentence to life without parole. As Mrs. Faulkner said at the time:
My family and I have endured a three-decade ordeal at the hands of Mumia Abu-Jamal, his attorneys and his supporters; who in many cases never even took the time to educate themselves about the case before lending their names, giving their support and advocating for his freedom. All of this has taken an unimaginable physical, emotional and financial toll on each of us
I anticipate two equally unappealing outcomes.
1. Christopher Dorner is dies either by the hand of the police or himself and is permanently lionized by the left as fighting against "The man"
2. Christopher Dorner is taken alive and given the full Mumia treatment while those he has murdered are at best forgotten and at worst considered justifiable targets of his righteous wrath.
I wish we still lived in a society where either of these outcomes would be a shock.

Asian stocks up, Japan's Nikkei extends gains
BANGKOK (AP) — Japan's benchmark stock index powered higher again Tuesday, extending a rally sparked last week after the Bank of Japan announced a bold program to revive the country's moribund economy. Other Asian stock markets were modestly higher.
The head of Japan's central bank, Haruhiko Kuroda, on Thursday delivered on promises to take aggressive action to shake Japan from nearly two decades of growth-crippling deflation. He unveiled plans to pump huge amounts of money into the economy via government bond purchases and pursue a 2 percent inflation target in order to spark lending and spending.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.5 percent to 13,260.04, extending gains for a fifth straight session, as the yen traded at its weakest since May 2009.
With Japan's monetary battle plan now laid out, investors are turning to quarterly earnings reports from major U.S. companies. The reporting season began in earnest late Monday when Alcoa, a major maker of aluminum, turned in a mixed report. Its earnings were ahead of expectations but its revenue missed forecasts.
Later this week, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase announce their first-quarter performance. Investors are expecting strong earnings in 2013.
"If the banks can show credit growth over this period, then we may actually start to see real confidence returning to US markets," said Evan Lucas of IG Markets.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.8 percent to 21,890.51. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 1.3 percent to 4,967.70. Benchmarks in mainland China, Singapore, and Indonesia also rose.
South Korea's Kospi went against the trend, dropping 0.4 percent to 1,910.09 as tension brewed on the Korean Peninsula amid joint U.S.-South Korean military drills. Pyongyang recalled all its workers from the Kaesong industrial complex, which is managed by South Koreans and staffed by North Korean workers.
Wall Street ended higher Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.3 percent to 14,613.48. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 0.6 percent to 1,563.07. The Nasdaq composite gained 0.6 percent to 3,222.25.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was up 18 cents to $93.54 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 66 cents to finish at $93.36 a barrel on Monday.
In currencies, the euro rose to $1.3055 from $1.3007 late Monday in New York. The dollar rose to 99.35 yen from 99.24 yen.

Simon Gagne is coming home.
Sitting two games under .500, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren sent a conditional 4th round pick to Los Angeles in exchange for the team's fourth all-time leading scorer at left wing. The pick belonged to Phoenix and was acquired by the Flyers via Columbus in last June's trade involving Sergei Bobrovsky.
Gagne, who turns 33 on Friday, was a healthy scratch for Los Angeles the last four games and six times overall this season. He won his first Stanley Cup with the Kings last season.
"I'm happy to get that chance," Gagne told RDS' Renaud Lavoie. "It was tough not to play. I'm going to a place I know well. It's like going home, I know everyone there and I'm going back to where it all started."
The scouting report, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie, is that Gagne is as healthy as he has been in a long time, but simply did not fit into Kings coach Darryl Sutter's plans.
The Flyers traded Gagne to Tampa Bay on July 19, 2010 – just a few months after his heroic playoff run which carried Philadelphia to the Stanley Cup final – in exchange for Matt Walker and a 4th round pick.
Gagne has netted 62 points in 108 games since leaving the Flyers – and 22 points in his last 45 regular season games with the Kings. He had an apparent concussion in December of 2011 and underwent offseason neck surgery last summer.
He was back in the area in November for Scott Hartnell's Hurricane Sandy charity game in Atlantic City during the NHL lockout.
Gagne posted 259 goals, 265 assists and 524 points in 665 games with the Flyers. His career in Philadelphia spanned 10 full seasons, making him one of the town's longest-tenured athletes at the time.
This is the last season of Gagne's two-year deal, which carries a pro-rated salary cap hit of $3.5 million.
The Flyers are an institution - and an Old Boys club. Gagne is the first of many former players the Flyers have reacquired this season alone, including Ruslan Fedotenko, Mike Knuble and Brian Boucher. At last count, more than 60 players have either been reacquired by the team or hired to work in a front office role following their playing days.
The Los Angeles Times reported the Flyers will owe Los Angeles a third round pick if Philadelphia qualifies for the playoffs, otherwise it will remain the fourth round pick that originally belonged to Phoenix.
Holmgren also revealed forward Tye McGinn will miss "at least two weeks" after suffering a fractured orbital bone in a fight with Toronto's Mike Brown on Monday. Thus, Harry Zolnierczyk will likely stick with the team. Have no fear: Zolnierczyk said he'd gladly vacate his No. 12 jersey in deference to Gagne.

GH6122, Reviewed December 2005
The preschool years (ages 2-1/2 to 5) are an exciting time for young children. When they were infants, they developed a trust of their caregivers. As toddlers, they began to establish some independence. Now, as preschoolers, they use this trust and independence to actively explore new forms of play (e.g., pretend play) and new environments (e.g., school).
Preschoolers need to learn how to make choices for themselves and how to feel good about the choices they make. It is their job to "learn to take initiative in socially acceptable ways" (Erikson, 1963).
Preschool-aged children's style of thinking and learning can best be described as "what you see is what you get," or reasoning based on the way things look. Preschoolers rely heavily on the literal appearance of things as a means of understanding the world around them. For example, if a child breaks her graham cracker into four pieces while her brother breaks his in half, she thinks that she has more graham cracker than her brother because she has four pieces and he only has two pieces. Similarly, a child may begin a friendship with another child because of something appealing that the other child has, such as a pretty dress or a new toy.
Adults play an important role in helping children take initiative and explore their environments. Adults' behaviors, attitudes and styles of thinking contribute to preschoolers' development. Talking with children and including them in conversations helps to develop their language skills. It is important to give children opportunities for make-believe play. This helps them to understand themselves and others, and encourages their imaginations.
This guide presents the developmental milestones of the preschool years — accompanied by suggestions for how you can foster children's positive development. There is special emphasis on issues relevant to preschoolers, including pretend play, the transition to school, and early literacy.
Each child grows and develops at his or her own rate — displaying developmental landmarks at different times. The table below shows characteristics that children between the ages of 2-1/2 and 5 will typically display as they grow and develop. For each type of development (such as physical, communication, etc.), younger children's characteristics are at the top of each list, older children's are at the bottom.
Table 1Developmental landmarks between 30 and 60 months
What can adults do?
Preschool children love to play, especially when their play activities involve make-believe. This special type of play, known as pretend play, is particularly important for young children's development. As children's thinking skills improve during the preschool years, they can remember and tell stories that follow a sequence of events and make sense to others. Pretend play is a great way for children to learn and develop skills such as:
You can promote children's development by creating an environment that supports pretend play. For example:
As the preschool years come to a close, families are faced with the challenge of preparing their children to start school. Preparing for this transition can make the child's experience (and the family's experience) more comfortable. Transitions from preschool to school involve a shift in caregiver-child relationships and peer relationships — some relationships end while new ones begin. Children often have mixed emotions about this shift, including a sense of sadness about leaving their preschool or child care program, and a sense of excitement and anticipation about beginning school. The ability to deal with these emotions and adapt to these changes is important for a successful transition, which sets a positive tone for children's adventures in school.
Here are some suggestions that can help you prepare your children for these transitions.
To promote young children's delight in talking, listening, reading and writing, adults need to provide a variety of interesting language experiences.
Children who have reading difficulties in the primary grades often had limited early literacy learning experiences. Children with reading difficulties have less letter knowledge, less sensitivity to the notion that sounds of speech are distinct from their meaning, less familiarity with the basic purpose and mechanisms of reading, and poorer general language ability.
Children who are skilled readers understand the alphabet and letters, use background knowledge and strategies to obtain meaning from print, and can easily identify words and read fluently.
Activities that prepare young children for learning to read emphasize:
Phonological awarenessAn appreciation of the sounds and meanings of spoken words. For example, a phonologically aware child can hear and say rhyming words, divide words into sounds and/or syllables and put them back together again, and recognize that groups of words have the same sound at the start (fish, frog, fruit), or the same sound at the end (dice, mice, ice).
Phonemic awarenessAn advanced form of phonological awareness. The awareness that printed symbols, such as letters, systematically represent the component sounds of the language. Children who demonstrate phonemic awareness recognize the sound — symbol relationship. Phonemic awareness allows children to "sound out" words.
Be a model of literate behavior for your children: write notes, keep a calendar and daily planner, post lists of food and household needs and children's responsibilities, introduce new vocabulary words during routine conversation and bookreading, and subscribe to a local newspaper and magazines the entire family will enjoy.
Sing songs, make up silly rhymes, read books, and play with words and sounds every day. Discuss printed text, words, and sounds as "objects" that can be thought about, manipulated, altered and explored. Help children build and use their ever-growing vocabulary.
Provide children with the tools of literate behavior (pens, pencils, markers, paper, envelopes, a stapler, paperclips, stamps, a dictionary, an atlas, telephone books, magazines, catalogues, newspapers, junk mail) and engage in daily literacy activities with your children (write thank-you notes, mail birthday cards, look up phone numbers, find exotic destinations in an atlas, write lists, read books, visit the library).
Reading books is one of the most valuable ways that parents can spend time with their children. Reading to children helps them develop an awareness of the sounds of language, understand that letters represent sounds, and value literacy. The books listed below (title, author/illustrator, publisher, publication date) promote children's emerging literacy skills through rhyming, repeated patterns and predictability. Most importantly, they are fun to read!
The preschool years are an active time for young children — their independence and initiative enable them to explore their world in new ways. Parents and teachers have the important task of giving children numerous and varied opportunities to promote their development during the preschool years, including physical development, thinking and learning, expressing feelings, awareness of self and others, and communication. Using the suggestions that have been offered will help to foster a positive, creative environment in which children can thrive.

Most reporters covering the execution of Saddam Hussein pay lip service to the fact that he was a "brutal dictator," but John Burns of the New York Times spent time in Iraq over the years, and did serious reporting from there. He observed first-hand the terror that Saddam imposed throughout his reign, and that experience shines through in his excellent article in today's Times: Feared and Pitiless; Fearful and Pitiable. It begins:
NOBODY who experienced Iraq under the tyranny of Saddam Hussein could imagine, at the height of the terror he imposed on his countrymen, ever pitying him. Pitiless himself, he sent hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to miserable deaths, in the wars he started against Iran and Kuwait, in the torture chambers of his secret police, or on the gallows that became an industry at Abu Ghraib and other charnel houses across Iraq. Iraqis who were caught in his spider

Car Deals
Car Deals: May 2012
Although today's vehicle shoppers are increasingly turning to SUVs and crossovers, the market for traditional cars remains large, with many automakers offering a full lineup across all sizes and segments. We've searched through many available special offers throughout May, locating the best deals available this month for buyers who would prefer a car over any other type of vehicle.
Chevrolet Camaro
The sporty Chevrolet Camaro is available with several great deals throughout May. Although the 2012 Camaro is the latest model, the virtually identical 2011 features the best available deal, with Chevrolet advertising zero percent financing for up to 72 months to help dealers clear out remaining inventory. For car shoppers who have to have a 2012 - or can't find a 2011 - the automaker is also offering a deal on current Camaro models, with 1.9 percent interest rates for up to 60 months on most models. Sadly, these deals don't apply to the recently released Camaro ZL1, which offers a supercar-challenging 580 horsepower.
Ford Fusion
With a new Fusion on the way, Ford is finally advertising a series of special offers on the current model designed to begin clearing out inventory. According to the automaker, qualified car shoppers interested in financing a 2012 Fusion through Ford Credit are eligible for interest rates as low as zero percent for up to 60 months, or 1.9 percent for 72 months plus $1,000 cash back. For buyers paying in full, the automaker is offering up to $2,500 cash back on the Fusion - an offer that even applies to the highly efficient - and sought after - Fusion Hybrid. As usual, Ford is also sweetening the deal for America's public servants by offering $500 back on all 2012 Fusion models - and most of its 2012 lineup - to police offers and active members of the military.
Kia Soul
Through the end of May, car shoppers interested in getting a lot of character in their next compact car can find a great deal on the charming Kia Soul. According to Kia, car shoppers looking to lease a Soul can get a well-equipped base model with an automatic transmission for just $169 per month after $1,999 at signing. For shoppers who would rather finance their Soul, Kia is also offering a deal throughout May, touting interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 36 months for qualified buyers. But like Kia, we recognize that the Soul isn't for everyone - and that's why we also recommend checking out the compact Forte, which features more traditional styling and up to $1,000 cash back on top of interest rates starting at 1.9 percent.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Serious automotive enthusiasts know the Lancer Evolution is already one of the best performance buys on the market thanks to its turbocharged 291-horsepower four-cylinder, standard all-wheel drive and available dual-clutch automatic transmission. But throughout May, the sedan is an even better deal due to a series of special offers from Mitsubishi. According to the automaker, buyers looking to finance the sedan can get zero percent interest for up to 36 months, while shoppers who would prefer to lease can get monthly payments starting at just $349 after $3,698 at signing. Each of those offers is even more impressive considering the sedan's tremendous performance numbers and its already reasonable base price of just $35,290 including destination.
Toyota Avalon
Toyota will soon replace its large Avalon sedan, which has led the automaker to begin offering several enticing discounts on the current model. According to the automaker, qualified car shoppers interested in financing a 2012 Avalon can get interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 60 months, while buyers paying in full can get up to $500 cash back. Toyota is also offering a lease deal on the Avalon, touting monthly payments of $349 per month after $2,999 due at signing. Toyota is also quick to point out that each of those special offers comes with its newly standard Toyota Care program, which provides free oil changes and tire rotations and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles.
What it means to you: Many new cars of all sizes are available with strong incentives throughout May.

Sol 129 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Contact Science16 December 2012
We have been waiting for the remaining soil sample in CHIMRA to be dumped before the arm instruments can be fully used again. The Sol 128 plan included cleaning the sample out of CHIMRA and taking Mastcam images to confirm that the cleaning was successful. If that went well, we could plan "contact science" with the arm on Sol 129. But the confirming data would not be analyzed until the beginning of the SOWG meeting, so we had to formulate contingency plans while we waited for the go-ahead for contact science. This made for a difficult planning day for the team. As SOWG Chair, I had to make quick decisions and rush through the meeting, but I was happy with the plan when we were through. We got the word that CHIMRA was clean a bit earlier than expected, and proceeded to plan observations of 2 targets in front of the rover with APXS and MAHLI. We also planned ChemCam and Mastcam observations, plus DAN active neutron spectroscopy in our new location.

After the market closed Monday Apollo group released news that its University of Phoenix's accreditation had been "reaffirmed" for 10 years by the Higher Learning Commission, which grants accreditation to colleges.
The news was viewed as a positive after the University of Phoenix, an online for-profit university, previously had been recommended for probation by a peer review team of the accrediting organization. Never mind that some of this was already mentioned on the company's last earnings call, several weeks ago, with further mention in its 10-Q, filed the same day.
But the release, which followed the Higher Learning Commission's final action letter, was by way of an SEC 8-K filing, the bare minimum legal requirement, rather than a trumpeted press release.
I believe it's almost always a red flag when an 8-K is used instead of a press release, especially with something as important as accreditation.
Apollo doesn't agree. Mark Brenner, senior vice president of communications and external affairs, says he believes the company has been "much more transparent" than any other company in the industry -- to the point of disclosing draft reports of the accreditation process as it has moved along. "I would argue we are the most transparent in the way we deal with the financial and investment community," he says.
To be sure, repeating what it has said in prior disclosures, the company included a full history of its road to securing its reaffirmed accreditation in its most recent 8-K. Here's a summary of the filing:
After explaining that its accreditation had been reaffirmed, Apollo gave a chronology of recent events, dating back to February 22, when a draft report of the Higher Learning Commission peer review team determined the University of Phoenix was not compliance with certain accreditation criteria. It recommended the school be placed on probation.

Home Insurance. Thursday , March 01st , 2018 - 22:02:56 PM
The first, and easiest, step for policyholders to avoid an unpaid natural disaster claim is to call their insurance agent or company and ask about their coverage. If a policyholder is in an area where hurricanes are prevalent, they should be asking questions specific to hurricane scenarios. Are they covered in the event of water damage from a flood? What about wind damage? What are the policy's limits on rebuilding or repairing? Additionally, the consumer should confirm that the full value of their home is properly insured.
If you do experience a loss due to a wildfire, your homeowners insurance policy will most likely cover the cost of repairing your damaged home or rebuilding it, up to the limits outlined in your policy. It will also likely cover the cost of your belongings inside your house.
When you're a homeowner, you have to deal with constant surprise challenges you may not have thought about back when you were renting a place to live. Your house may have been in pristine condition when you moved in, but time will show some issues your real estate agent may have not noticed or forgot to tell you about when you toured the place.

In his radio address for the Democrats today, Mario Cuomo showed himself to be the faithful student of cornpone constitutionalist and former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle Robert Byrd. Thus spake His Honor:
Now, the Republicans in the Senate…are threatening to claim ownership of the Supreme Court and other federal courts, hoping to achieve political results on subjects like abortion, stem cells, the environment and civil rights that they can not get from the proper political bodies: the Congress and the presidency.
How will they do this? By destroying the so-called filibuster, a vital part of the 200-year-old system of checks and balances in the Senate that allows the fullest possible debate before one of the president's choices for the Supreme Court or other federal courts is allowed to take his or her place on the bench. That would be a change so undesirably destructive that it has been called the nuclear option.
The Republicans say it would assure dominance by the majority in the Senate. That sounds democratic until you remember that the Bill of Rights was adopted, as James Madison pointed out, in order to protect all Americans from what he called, the tyranny of the majority. And it sounds nearly absurd when you learn that the minority Democrats in the Senate actually represent more Americans than the majority Republicans do.
How many whoppers, stretchers, flips and flops can you spot in these three paragraphs? It would be cruel to unleash Paul Mirengoff on them, but even I can follow the Cuomo postulates to the inference Cuomo shrinks from drawing explicitly: that the Bill of Rights was adopted to protect us from the tyranny of the Democrats. But then again, I am a Straussian and a believer in "reading between the lines."
DEACON adds: I'm not sure what Mirengoff would say, but Cuomo has always favored the big lie, the better to work his rhetorical magic. Here, the big lie is that Republicans, not Democrats, are looking to use the courts to obtain specific policy outcomes unavailable to them through the political process. In reality, of course, the Republicans favor a judiciary that will grant serious deference to the wishes of our citizens (though not Europeans) as expressed through legislatures. Liberals, who have fared rather poorly when it comes to electing legislators and executives, consistently favor overturning "political" outcomes. For recent examples in Supreme Court jurisprudence, consider the decision that anti-sodomy laws are unconstitutional, that states may not apply capital punishment to juveniles, and that the sentencing guidlines adopted by Congress are unconstitutional.
ROCKET adds: These are the three most ludicrous paragraphs I've seen in a long time. First Cuomo stands history on its head; as in the classic instances of Roe v Wade and gay marriage, it has always been the Democrats, never the Republicans, who have used the federal courts to force policies on the American people that the "proper political bodies" won't vote for.
Next he stands the meaning of the filibuster on its head, pretending that the device is intended to assure "the fullest possible debate" before a judicial nominee "takes his or her place on the bench." In reality, as Harry Reid explicitly admitted just last week, the filibuster has nothing to do with assuring ample debate; that's why he rejected the Republican compromise that offered 100 hours of debate–more than two weeks–on each and every judicial nominee. In reality, as everyone knows, the filibuster is intended to prevent Republican nominees from "taking their places on the bench," ever.
Finally, he stands the Constitution on its head with the absurd suggestion tbat the minority should run the Senate rather than the majority, apparently on the theory that majority rule is per se tyrannical. It's hard to respond to that except by saying, "Huh?" And he concludes with a stunning non sequitur: Senate Democrats represent more people than Senate Republicans; therefore it's appropriate for the minority Democrats to get their way. We do, of course, have a body where votes are apportioned on the basis of population; it's called the House of Representatives. But population is completely irrelevant to the Senate. It's also irrelevant to the filibuster, which can just as easily be implemented by Senators from the twenty smallest states. And if the question is, where do most Americans stand on the question of who gets to appoint judges to the federal bench, they answered that question last November, when President Bush won by something like three million votes.

SASKATOON — The Saskatchewan government has received almost 600 applications from multiple sclerosis patients interested in participating in a U.S.-based clinical trial.
In mid-January, the government invited applications in conjunction with its pledge to spend $2.2 million to cover costs for patients selected to participate in the research trial of the socalled "liberation therapy" taking place in Albany, N.Y.
Mark Docherty, a Saskatchewan Party MLA who received the treatment for multiple sclerosis in Bulgaria, said Tuesday he isn't surprised by the level of interest.
"I figured that people with MS would be more than happy to add their names to the list," he said. "I think we're all supportive of this. It's very exciting for everybody throughout the province. All they're hoping for is to find out a cause and a cure. We've got to get some answers toward 'Why?' We've been asking that as an MS population forever."
Applications will close on Feb. 24 for Saskatchewan patients interested in volunteering for the trial. Applications can be made online or by phone, Docherty said, noting he encourages people to participate.
The two-year, double-blind clinical trial at Albany Medical Centre has room for 86 Saskatchewan MS patients. As of Tuesday, about 589 people had submitted applications.
Saskatchewan has one of the highest incidences of MS in the world, at 340 per 100,000 residents, the government says.
An estimated 3,500 people in the province have been diagnosed with the neurological disease, which causes the communication ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to be impaired or destroyed.
Applying for the clinical trial does not guarantee participation. Potential research participants will be randomly drawn from all applications and then go through a screening and assessment process to confirm they are eligible to be involved in the research.
The first of the eligible Saskatchewan patients are expected to travel to Albany in March. It will take several months to contact, screen and assess enough patients to fill all 86 spaces available to Saskatchewan patients, the government said in a news release Tuesday.
Half of those participating in Albany will receive a placebo procedure and half will receive the liberation therapy procedure, which involves opening blocked veins in the neck
The still-unproven treatment is not available to MS patients in Canada and there is ongoing debate in the wider scientific community as to whether it is effective.

This sign was used to advertise the Russian Vapour Baths in Brick Lane. The baths were more popularly known as 'Schewzik's', after their owner Benjamin Schewzik.
The steam baths were used by the large immigrant Jewish community living in London's East End from the late 19th century. They were an important part of social and religious life and were mostly used by men following work on a Friday evening, before going to the synagogue for prayers.
The immigrant community in the East End also set up numerous small synagogues, which recreated the atmosphere of those in Eastern Europe. They opened shops selling kosher food and other goods. Posters and newspapers were printed in Yiddish and the busy, bustling streets were full of traders shouting out their wares.

Most MySQL programs that support option files handle the following options. Because these options affect option-file handling, they must be given on the command line and not in an option file. To work properly, each of these options must be given before other options, with these exceptions:
--print-defaultsmay be used immediately after
--defaults-extra-file, or
On Windows, if the server is started with the
--installmust be first. See Section 18.104.22.168, "Starting MySQL as a Windows Service".
When specifying file names as option values, avoid the use of the
~ shell metacharacter because it might not be
interpreted as you expect.
Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix) before the user option file and (on all platforms) before the login path file. (For information about the order in which option files are used, see Section 4.2.6, "Using Option Files".) If the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs.
file_nameis interpreted relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name rather than a full path name.
Read only the given option file. If the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs.
file_nameis interpreted relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name rather than a full path name.
Exception: Even with
--defaults-file, client programs read
Read not only the usual option groups, but also groups with the usual names and a suffix of
str. For example, the mysql client normally reads the
[mysql]groups. If the
--defaults-group-suffix=_otheroption is given, mysql also reads the
Read options from the named login path in the
.mylogin.cnflogin path file. A "login path" is an option group containing options that specify which MySQL server to connect to and which account to authenticate as. To create or modify a login path file, use the mysql_config_editor utility. See Section 4.6.6, "mysql_config_editor — MySQL Configuration Utility".
A client program reads the option group corresponding to the named login path, in addition to option groups that the program reads by default. Consider this command:
shell> mysql --login-path=mypath
By default, the mysql client reads the
[mysql]option groups. So for the command shown, mysql reads
[mysql]from other option files, and
[mysql], and
[mypath]from the login path file.
Client programs read the login path file even when the
--no-defaultsoption is used.
To specify an alternate login path file name, set the
MYSQL_TEST_LOGIN_FILEenvironment variable.
Do not read any option files. If program startup fails due to reading unknown options from an option file,
--no-defaultscan be used to prevent them from being read.
The exception is that client programs read the
.mylogin.cnflogin path file, if it exists, even when
--no-defaultsis used. This permits passwords to be specified in a safer way than on the command line even if
--no-defaultsis present. (
.mylogin.cnfis created by the mysql_config_editor utility. See Section 4.6.6, "mysql_config_editor — MySQL Configuration Utility".)
Print the program name and all options that it gets from option files. Password values are masked.

WoodSnap: Digital Photos Printed Onto Wood Canvas
The majority of photos we take on our cameras and smartphones probably will never be seen outside your computer screen or mobile device (perhaps a few will make the cut for Facebook and Instagram). But for those truly memorable and important moments, there's nothing like having your photo printed out to display. And if you want to display them big and in memorable fashion, WoodSnap offers a unique printing option: photos printed directly onto wood.
Using WoodSnap is as simple as uploading your images onto Flickr or Instagram, except you also choose a real canvas site. For example, an 8" x 8" printed wood canvas will set you back $39.95, a 12" x 12" costs $69.95, the largest 30" x 40" canvas setting you back
$329.95, with plenty of other sizes inbetween.
What I like about the style of these real wood canvases is the not only visible wood grain unique to each sheet of wood, but the warm forever summer glow the wood imparts onto any image. The effect is truly dreamy, perfect for photos capturing moments of emotion.

In 1964, a documentary film crew interviewed 14 representative British 7-year-olds.
Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The union leader and the business executive of the year 2000 are now 7 years old, was the opening line of 7 Up.
Every seven years since the original, the crew has filed a cinematic update to check in on how the subjects lives have progressed. Some of the original participants have long since dropped out, others took a hiatus. But most are still involved in the project, and the latest edition, 56 Up, will show tonight at the Wright Opera House in Ouray.
The children were selected to represent the range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain in 1964, with the assumption that each childs social class predetermines his or her future. It wasnt far off. Two boys who said in 1964 that they would be lawyers are lawyers today. Lower-class kids work blue-collar jobs such as cab driver and forklift operator.
56 Up includes 13 of the original 14 subjects. Thats an improvement from 49 Up; Peter, who dropped out 21 years ago after making some anti-Margaret Thatcher comments, is back. The cynic would say hes returned to publicize his country-rock band.
In 2005, the BBC put the Up series at the top of its list of The 50 Greatest Documentaries.
56 Up will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today at the Wright Opera House in Ouray.

"We have promised the victim's family we will not release his name until after the autopsy is performed," Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin said. "We hope to have more information regarding the cause of death as well as the victim's identity available later Monday. We continue working closely with the Manchester Police Department on this active shooting investigation." Strelzin confirmed that as of Sunday night, no arrests had been made in the late Saturday night shooting. Manchester Police Chief David Mara said all information regarding the identity of the victim would have to come from the Attorney General's Office. On Sunday afternoon, neighbors along Prospect Street were still in shock over the crime. "I heard between three and six shots, so we called 911," said William Dreckmann, who lives on nearby Myrtle Street, diagonally across from the shooting. "I heard the shots about 10:40 Saturday night, and when I went outside, there was just a swarm of police cruisers that showed up." "It was a drive-by shooting; the guy was standing on the corner," said a resident who asked to be identified only as Sue. "There was a dark-colored sedan, sounded like a semi-automatic weapon, about six quick shots and then the car sped off toward Elm Street. I don't want my name out there, 'cause they haven't caught the shooter yet. Every car that slows down going by here today, I get scared." "It sounded like fireworks, so I went out to see what was going on," said Prospect Street resident Joshua Martineau. Dreckmann said he heard through radio transmission broadcasts that police were looking for two males in a dark-colored car, believed to have headed toward Elm Street at a high rate of speed. "The guy, it looked like he was shot right at the corner, then made it down Prospect a bit before he just collapsed in front of 61 Prospect right here," said Dreckmann, pointing to a section of sidewalk. "I didn't know the guy, never seen him around here. I don't think he lived here. He was alive when they left with him. They were doing CPR on him right there on the sidewalk until they took him in the ambulance." The victim was taken to Elliot Hospital. According to Manchester police, the hospital was put in lockdown mode around 11 p.m. The lockdown was lifted at 1:15 a.m. Sunday, after the victim died. Police taped off an area around 61 Prospect St., and the road was closed early Sunday morning. It was open to traffic by mid-morning. Dreckmann said he just doesn't understand what is happening in the city. "The neighborhood, it's changing — things like this just never happened here," he said. "There were a few arsons near here. A woman shot a gun into the air over there a while back during an argument. I guess you expect stuff to happen in the city, but there just seems to be more of it now." Police are asking anyone with information to call the Manchester Police Department at 668-8711, or contact the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040. email@example.com Crime Manchester Top Section Stories
