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 57 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 1982, a human black widow, named Shirley (Goude, Sinclair, Gregg) Allen was arrested for using ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) to poison her husband, Lloyd Allen. Lloyd was Shirley's sixth husband and the second to die under mysterious circumstances. The other four divorced her while they still had the chance to do so. John Gregg, the unfortunate husband from a 1977 marriage, died in 1978. Shirley was particularly steamed that he had taken her name off his life insurance policy, leaving her with nothing. Lloyd had complained of his coffee tasting odd, but she told him it was an iron supliment. Another previous husband, Joe Sinclair, baled when he thought his coffee tasted a bit odd, too. Shirley was turned in by her daughter, convicted after a four day trial and sentenced to life in 1983.
...in 1899, James Ward Packard completed building his first automobile. The wire manufacturer from Warren, Ohio, bought one of Alexander Winton's cars but it gave him trouble. After working on the Winton and all but rebuilding it, he decided he could build a better car, and did. Henry Bourne Joy bought a Packard in 1902, and liked the car so much that he bought the company and moved it to Detroit. Packard automobiles were some of the finest built and were sold under the slogan, "Ask the man who owns one."

Packard Number 1. The identity of the driver is
unknown, but it looks like Henry B. Joy, who
bought the company in 1902 and moved it to
Detroit.
...in 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt made a 17 day sojourn to Panama and Puerto Rico. He had a great interest in the area after serving in the Spanish-American War, where Puerto Rico became a protectorate. Both President McKinley and President Roosevelt, who took over the Presidency after McKinley's assassination, had promised to help Puerto Rico set up an autonomous government but also offered Puerto Ricans American citizenship. Roosevelt also visited the construction site of the Panama Canal. The project had undergone numerous problems of disease and morale, even bankruptcy, when President Roosevelt had the United States take over the project. His interest resulted in the palindrome (it reads the same forward and backwards) A MAN A PLAN A CANAL PANAMA!

President Roosevelt (white suit inside
the shovel cab) visited the construction
site in 1906. Many of the cranes and shovels
were built by Harnischfeger and Bucyrus in
Wisconsin. The project was undertaken by
French interests in 1880 but failed. The US
took over the project in 1906, completing the
canal in 1914. 80,000 people were involved in
the construction and 30,000 people died during
the 34 year project.
...in 1995, Art Modell moved his NFL team out of Cleveland and into Baltimore. After Cleveland had built a new baseball stadium and basketball arena, Modell expected a new football stadium, too, but he didn't think one was coming. Baltimore, still smarting from the Colts moving to Indianapolis under the cover of darkness, wanted a team badly enough to make an offer that Modell couldn't refuse. The fans and Cleveland were more than outraged and sued the NFL. Although they lost the team, they were able to keep the team records, history and most importanly, the name Browns, forcing Modell to rename his team the Ravens. The NFL "deactivated" the Cleveland franchise, agreeing to reactivate the franchise whether a team would relocate to Cleveland or an expansion team would be granted. An expansion team came to Cleveland in 1999, but if you ask a Cleveland football fan about Art Modell and the NFL, be prepared for an earful. Modell has been unable to return to Cleveland, even missing funerals, because of the backlash of the Cleveland fans. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, fans and veterans alike are still upset with the way Robert Irsay moved the Colts out of Baltimore under the cover of darkness in 1986. Johnny Unitas and other Colts veterans cut all ties to the Colts franchise. Along with fans, Unitas et. al. consider the Ravens to be the continuation of the old Baltimore franchise.

The Browns are the only NFL team to not
use a helmet logo. (State line rivals, the
Pittsburgh Steelers, have a logo on only
one side of the helmet.) The Browns colors
and basic uniform design harken all the way
back to their 1946 formation.
That's it. That's all we know as of 12:01 AM, EST.
