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 65 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 1965, the Rolling Stones released Get Off Of My Cloud.
...in 1929, the Secretary of State in the Harding Administration, Albert B. Fall, became the, well, fall guy for accepting a bribe while serving in office, the first individual to be convicted of such a crime. The Harding administration was riddled with corruption, and Fall accepted a $100,000 interest free "loan" from Edward Doheny of the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company. He wanted Fall to grant him an oil lease from the naval reserve in California. Both the Elk Hills Naval reserve and the Teapot Dome naval reserve in Wyoming had been transferred to the control of the Department of the Interior, Fall may have recognized an opportunity to personally benefit by leasing the reserves to private industry. In October of 1923, a Senate investigation revealed the $100,000 bribe but also a $300,000 in bonds from Harry Sinclair, president of Mamoth Oil, for access to the Teapot Dome. In 1927, the reserves were returned to the control of the government and in 1927, Fall was convicted of the scandal.

...in 1854, during the Crimean War, British Lord James Cardigan lead a charge of the Light Brigade Cavalry against the Russians. During the Battle of Balacava, Cardigan received the order to attack. The brigade charged down the hill and was cut down by Russian artillery, suffering over 40% casulties. When it was over, of the 600 members of the cavalry, 156 were dead and 122 were wounded. It turns out to have been a blunder with orders unclear and from bad intelligence. The brigade was, and still is, revered as British heroes. Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote a poem, paintings were done, and three movies were made. The first was by Thomas Edison in 1912, shot in Wyoming and using US Cavalry troops as the Light Brigade.

Canton Woodville's Charge Of The Light Brigade, 1855.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson's The Charge Of The Light Brigade (http://www.nationalcenter.org/ChargeoftheLightBrigade.html).
...in 1902, the first great combination of manufacturer and race driver was forged when famed bicyle racer, Barney Oldfield, teamed up to drive Henry Ford's 999 race car. On October 25, the team entered the Manufacturer's Challenge Cup in Grosse Point. It was the first of many great races for Oldfield, who soundly beat all competitors in the race, including Alexander Winton. Winton would later hire Oldfield to drive his cars in races. Oldfield was the first person to drive an automobile over 60 miles per hour, leading the popular phrase, "Who do you think you are, Barney Oldfield?"

...in 1964, Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings scooped up a
fumble and ran 66 yards to the end zone - the wrong way - for a safety
that gave the San Francisco 49'ers 2 points.

Jim Marshall had a spectacular career
with the Vikings, including a 282
consecutive game streak and he is
one of the all-time leaders in
career sacks and fumble recoveries.
Guess what he is remembered for?
See the famous run here on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IBkQoXNvbA&watch_response).
See Jim Marshall having some fun with it on I've Got A Secret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3T4GZfPIAs) with Steve Allen.
That's it. That's all we know as of 12:31 AM, EDT.
