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 62 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 1895, George B. Selden received a patent for a gasoline powered automobile. He claimed to have conceived the device during the Civil War. The patent was issued for what he termed a "road engine," basically a high-wheeled buckboard with an engine instead of horses. He never actually built the device, and his concepts were far behind those of contemporary designs, but his patent assured a monopoly against anyone building a self-powered vehicle. Selden created a syndicate that collected royalties from auto manufacturers, but in 1903, the newly formed Ford Motor Company refused to pay the royalty. Selden sued. The case dragged out until 1909, when a New York Court ruled in favor of the ALAM, the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers. Ford appealed, and on September 15, 1911 (http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/one-our-own-missing-22516/index283.html#post683292), the ruling was overturned and the Selden patent was broken.

In 1911, a judge finally ruled that Selden's patent
did not fully describe an automobile, and since Selden
had not actually ever built a prototype, the patent was
invalid. With the breaking of the Selden Patent, the way
was cleared for Henry Ford to dominate the market with
the venerable Model T.
...in 1960, country star Johnny Horton, who's hit The Battle of New Orleans reached number 1 in 1959, died in an automobile accident after playing his last show at the Skyliner, in Austin, Texas. In 1953, Hank Williams also played his last show at the Skyliner before he perished in his chauffer-driven automobile. To add to the irony, Jahnny Horton's widow was Billie Jean Jones, who married Horton in 1953, after the death of her second husband, Hank Williams.

...in 1988, three NBA teams inaugurated new arenas. In Auburn Hills, Michigan, the Pistons defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 94-85. In Miami, Florida, the Heat lost to the Los Angeles Clippers, 111-91 and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Bucks 107-94. Ironically, the Hawks had moved from Milwaukee in 1955.
...in 1872, Susan B. Anthony voted in an election in Rochester, New York. She used the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution to back her claim for the right to vote, because of the wording, "all persons born and naturalized in the United States...are citizens of the United States." She assumed that by that definition, she was a citizen of the United States and as a citizen, was entitled to the "privileges" of citizens of the United States, which in the eyes of Susan B. Anthony, meant the right to vote. She lost her trial and was fined $100.00 of which she never paid a penny.
