Cagney & Lacey: The Limited-Edition Complete Series (38 discs, 119 episodes, 93+ hours plus 29 hours of special features) was recently released in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the iconic show's television premiere, making the entire series available for the first time in any home entertainment format. The set also includes a photo autographed by series stars, Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless.
With the purchase of Cagney & Lacey: The Limited-Edition Complete Series ($139.95), receive the two-CD, limited-edition set, Elvis: Remix Collection - in a numbered, collectible velvet box with rhinestone letters - featuring many of the king of rock 'n' roll's biggest hits carefully remixed and re-mastered with cutting-edge technology.

Cagney & Lacey - which aired on CBS for seven seasons (1981-88) - was not only an enormously popular series that set entertainment industry standards and broke records, but was groundbreaking in its impact on women's issues and other provocative topics (off-limits on most shows of the day) such as sexuality, equal pay, workplace ethics and politics, sexual harassment, domestic violence, date rape, incest, breast cancer, abortion, illegal immigration, addiction and other complex social/personal themes. Frequently controversial, the show fought a virtually ongoing battle with the network's standards and practices office.
The series attracted 30 million viewers a week and garnered 36 Emmy Award nominations and 14 wins - including two for "Outstanding Drama Series" and combined "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series" wins for six years in a row, a streak unmatched to this day in any major category - as well as two Golden Globe Awards and a host of other honors.
So influential and groundbreaking was Gless' work in Cagney & Lacey - which continued with her current role as a PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) mom on Queer as Folk - that the Canadian LGBTQ community honored Gless April 15 in Toronto. Presenting a PFLAG Ally-of-the-Year Award for Gless' tireless contributions to the community, both on screen and off, was Emmy Award-winner Rosie O'Donnell.
The Museum of Broadcast Communications called Cagney & Lacey "... deservedly, one of the most widely discussed programs in television history." Wrote The Telegraph (London) about a reunion celebration last year in the U.K. (where the show was equally popular), "The near-hysteria and deep affection are testament to the success of the series. It was, and remains, quite something: One of the very few popular shows on television ever to show real women living real lives and coping with real problems."

2013-04-20
In his review of 2012, Hein Velema, the CEO of Fraser Yachts remarked, "2012 showed strong sales figures overall".

More distracted drivers in US than in Europe
2013-04-20
Distracted drivers seem to be an endemic problem on U.S. roads. No matter how often public safety officials broadcast the dangers of distracted driving, many drivers persist in dangerous behaviors such as cell phone use and texting while driving. It seems that the problem has not spread outside the country, however. A 2013 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that distracted driving is a greater problem in the U.S. than it is in many European countries.

Pending Legislation to Increase the Amount a Disinherited Spouse Can Receive
2013-04-20
Recently, there has been much debate with respect to updating the "spousal elective share" statute in Massachusetts. This statute law allows a disinherited spouse to "elect against" their deceased spouse's Will and receive a mandatory share of the deceased spouse's estate, irrespective of the terms of the deceased spouse's will. Specifically, a disinherited spouse will receive a "life interest" in one-third of the deceased spouse's probate estate. If the deceased spouse left no offspring, the surviving spouse's share increases to one-half.

Numerical cognition in bees and other insects
In this article, Dr. Mario Pahl and colleagues review the main studies on the ability of insects to perceive number, and discuss the possible mechanisms involved in number recognition. Recent behavioral investigations have shown that several invertebrate species (animals without backbones) share various numerical activities with bigger animals, such as birds and mammals. This is because the ability to assess the number of food items, competitors or mates can help animals – even smaller ones like insects ...
Measuring the hazards of global aftershock
2013-04-19
Salt Lake City, Utah -- The entire world becomes an aftershock zone after a massive magnitude (M) 7 or larger earthquake—but what hazard does this pose around the planet? Researchers are working to extend their earthquake risk estimates over a global scale, as they become better at forecasting the impact of aftershocks at a local and regional level.
There is little doubt that surface waves from a large, M≥7 earthquake can distort fault zones and volcanic centers as they pass through the Earth's crust, and these waves could trigger seismic activity. According to ...
