Now she s staying with relatives, unsure what will become of possessions such as her daughter s first communion dress - or the home that had been in her family for 70 years. It s definitely not going to be livable, at least not for a while, said Marcure, 38, a teacher s assistant.The rains stopped Wednesday and the floodwaters began to recede in hard-hit Rhode Island, though the worst flooding in 200 years could persist for several days and permanently close businesses already struggling in the weak economy.Overwhelmed sewage treatment plants prompted officials to ask residents to stop flushing toilets, CBS News correspondent Whit Johnson reports.

Early use of an electronic control device, like the TASER, by law enforcement occurred in the 1960s when American police officers used electric cattle prods to disperse Civil Rights activists. As for the earliest cattle prods, this came about when inventor John Burton of Wichita, Kansas received a patent US427549 A in the late 1800s for such a device. While a simplistic design two prongs

Unlike stun guns, cattle prods are not designed to incapacitate an individual or animal, simply deliver a painful shock to a localized area. On the other hand, stun guns are usually designed to deliver even larger voltages in order to overwhelm the body nervous system. So who invented the TASER, specifically NASA
stanley mug researcher Jack Cover was among the numerous other inventors who developed forms of these type of usually nonlethal electric weapons. See: Can Stun Guns Cause Cardiac Arrest . Cover, det

When he read what had happened, he knew an electric current could be used without danger, his wife said after Cover death. Cover patented the design for a device that he named the TASER i
