ST. PETERSBURG A 5K walk to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research will be held Saturday at North Straub Park, Bayshore Drive and Fifth Avenue NE. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event will begin at 8 a.m. Information: www.cancer.org/stridesonline or (727) 812-7023. WEST PALM BEACH FBI agents added to corruption team The FBI has shifted six agents and one supervisory position from Miami to West Palm Beach to help investigate public corruption cases, the office's top priority, authorities said. The West Palm Beach office now has 16 agents focused on white-collar crime, including corruption, cyber crime and health care fraud, said Timothy Delaney, assistant FBI special agent in charge of white-collar crime from Key West to Vero Beach. Delaney said the move is aimed at cracking down on shady land deals in Palm Beach County. Since 2006, federal prosecutors have won guilty pleas from two county commissioners, two West Palm Beach city commissioners and an area attorney, mostly for corruption related to real estate deals. The added staff allows the bureau to engage the public inoutreach to encourage residents to report corruption, Delaney added.

i was in stopped in traffic and watch the walkers go by, and sadly, a more pressing issue seems to be obesity. Easily, 9 of 10 walkers were overweight. Perhaps they were the slow bunch, but it was a sight to see.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
