DEXTER, Maine -- Nearly one year ago, on the morning of June 13, Steven Lake used a Remington model 11-87 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun with a five-round capacity to kill his estranged wife, Amy, and his two children, 13-year-old Coty and 12-year-old Monica, before turning the gun on himself. Lake pulled the trigger, but a group of former Maine police officers is still pressing its contention that local law enforcement holds some responsibility in the killings because it failed to secure his firearms following a domestic violence incident the year before. The group, led by Westbrook native Brian Gagan, who now lives in Arizona and has worked as a patrol officer in Westbrook and Scarborough, continues to push for reforms.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California prison officials seized nearly 11,000 cell phones last year, some used to arrange extortions and assaults, others used by the likes of cult killer Charles Manson to connect with the outside world after more than four decades behind bars. Manson became an unlikely face of the prison cell phone problem after he was caught calling and texting people in California, Florida, New Jersey and British Columbia. He had missed calls from Arkansas, Indiana and Massachusetts on the phone that guards discovered in March 2009, and he was caught with a second phone last month.

Your advice on lowering costs and looking at labor, and this and that... My advice: go sell something! You must have a lot of corporate clients that don't pay for the ticket. Clientele dictates-strange oversight for a consultant.
Sometimes in Washington, politicians try to raise taxes in a straightforward way. They will express shock at the size of the deficit their spending created and attempt to pass tax increases through the Congress - preferably on a "bipartisan" basis to spread the blame around. Other times, the tax hikers are shiftier, demonstrating an enviable guile. The recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that it is seeking to regulate "un-enrolled" tax preparers is one of those times.
