There were no new developments in Paige's case yesterday. No news, no new developments.
In news of Candles for Paige (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=Paige) we had 73 candles as of this post. Remember, candles go out after 48 hours so keep lighting candles for Paige, her family and her three children.
Instructions for lighting candles for Paige are in the Missing thread, in this post (http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/one-our-own-missing-22516/index254.html#post470298).
On This Day In History...
...in 42 B.C., Marcus Junius Brutus commited suicide after a second defeat at Philippi during a civil war. Brutus was one of the conspirators in the assassination of Julius Caesar, made famous in the play by William Shakespeare. Even people who known nothing of ancient history or have never read Shakespeare know the line, "Et, tu, Brute?" Little known history of the Roman Republic was the range of civil war that errupted after the assassination of Caesar. After several years of civil war, in -27 (27 BC) the Republic was lost forever as the ascension of Augustus Caesar as the first emperor of Rome.

...in 1983, a truck packed with explosives was driven by a suicide bomber into the US Marines barracks in Beirut Lebanon, killing 241 military personel, while a similar attack killed 58 French soliders about two miles away. While the bombers were never determined, they were suspected to be Shiite terorists affiliated with Iran.

...in 1975, the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Al Ullman (D-Oregon) proposed and economic plan featuring a $12.7 million tax cut, aimed at middle class Americans. Although the plan was embraced by both parties, partisan arguing bogged down the progress of the bill. President Gerald Ford wanted to affix spending cuts to the bill, but the House Democrats fought the spending cuts. They launched a media blitz with dire warnings of what would happen if the spending cuts were made, and the tactic worked. A tax cut, without spending cuts, was passed by the committee. There jut ain't nuthin' new, is there?
...in 1971, Wally World opened in Orlando, Florida, just 16 years after the Magic Kingdom opened in Anaheim, California. The park also included Walt Disney's dream of a planned community called the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, or EPCOT. A real community, Celebration, Florida, was built in 1996.

Cinderella's Castle is the iconic figure
of the Magic Kingdom.
...in 1965, Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic was born in California. The musician, satirist, parody artist and all around funny guy broke into show business with a parody of My Sharona by The Knack that he called My Balogna. It got airplay from Dr. Dimento, and the rest is history. Weird Al does play the accordian but he is not related to the late Frankie Yankovic.

Weird Al, as most people think
of him, before eye surgery.
...in 1954, WSAU-TV began broadcasting from the Plumer Mansion, a Victorian house in Wausau, Wisconsin, affectionately known as "The Mansion." A suit of armor was on display in "The Mansion" so the graphic artist, Sid Kyler, creted a medieval 7 and a knight, Sir Seven. The logo served for decades, even after the call letters were changed. The transmitter and tower was (and still is) atop Rib Mountain, the second highest point in Wisconsin. WSAU was the only television station in northern Wisconsin when it went on the air, and it was affiliated with all four networks, CBS, ABC, NBC and DuMont. DuMont would top broadcasting in 1956. In 1965, a second station, WAOW went on the air in Wausau as the ABC affiliate, followed by a Rhinelander station in 1966 that took the NBC affiliation. In the 1950's, a company in Rhinelander put up a tall receiver and offered a cable feed that provided Rhinelander residents with reception from Green Bay and Minneapolis, years before the concept of television by satellite even existed. In 1981, the owners of WSAU sold their interest in radio stations with the same call letters, and changed the television call sign to WSAW. The only real significance to this story is that the same story repeated intself all across the country as small television markets came online. Television broadcasting expanded from major metropolitan areas to the smallest markets in a matter of about 15 years.

Sir Seven appeared on all the
station cards, including at sign-off
each knigh...er...night.
That's it. That's all we know as of 12:01 AM, EDT.
