| Tankleff's lawyers show possible new evidence
It is the latest of several attempts that Tankleff, 32, has launched to free himself from a 50-years-to-life sentence for the murder conviction.
Jay Salpeter, a retired New York City detective and private investigator who was hired by Tankleff's family and whose investigation sparked the motion for a new trial, was the first to testify yesterday. He said that a few weeks ago he discovered the pipe on the property of Tankleffs' neighbors, Ruth and John Trager, who have lived there for more than 30 years.
He said he and another investigator found it near the Tragers' driveway when they scoured the grounds with a metal detector. "I said, 'This is the pipe,'" Salpeter recounted.
John Trager testified he has never seen the pipe before and that his grounds are largely untouched.
COURAGE Sub-study: PCI Outperforms Drugs-Only
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Patients with ischemia, or clogged arteries, benefit significantly from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when compared with optimal medical therapy, according to a nuclear sub-study of the COURAGE trial presented this week at the American Heart Association (AHA) in Orlando. This sub-study is especially significant given that the COURAGE trial had previously called into question the relative effectiveness of PCI (which uses a combination of angioplasty, stents, and medications) compared to medications alone in the prevention of death and heart attack in patients with stable heart disease. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), the world's leading society of interventional cardiologists, questioned those findings from the beginning.

Intimidating groups of teenagers adorn the landscape
When I go to the mall I spend a lot of time on the benches in the main concourse watching the crowds go by. I usually come away with new respect for mothers of small children. You can learn much about people and our own demographic by watching shoppers at the mall. I am reminded of how my grandparents, many years ago would angle park their car along the main street of my small town so they could observe the coming and going of Friday night shoppers. I guess I am continuing a family tradition by mall watching. Archie, Betty and Veronica of long ago are no longer on the scene, nor is the local soda joint. The last time we saw that was on "Happy Days" on television. The same sociology is at work today at the mall as was in those old comic books, except that it seems we have more of the Jughead characters than we had in the 40's and 50's.

The dispute is still going on, and so far, Interkhimprom is winning.
