FORT WORTH, Texas Authorities say the grandson of billionaire T. Boone
Pickens died of heroin intoxication after an evening of drug use at
a friend's apartment.The Tarrant County medical examiner's office announced
Wednesday that the Jan. 29 death of Thomas "Ty" Boone Pickens IV
was accidental.Medical officials had to wait weeks to receive toxicology
and other test results before announcing the cause of death for the
21-year-old, who was a junior at Texas Christian University.The younger
Pickens died at a hospital after being taken there by private vehicle.Another
TCU student was charged with tampering with evidence after police said he
removed items from the apartment and hid them from authorities. Police say
the evidence included heroin, drug paraphernalia and marijuana.
When he left the White House in January 2009 after two tumultuous
terms, President George W. Bush -- the only man to attain the
presidency by virtue of a Supreme Court ruling and only the second
son of a president to also serve as president -- was nursing
an approval rating around 30 percent.Four years later, however, public opinion
has turned slowly but steadily in the former presidents direction. A nationwide
Fox News poll conducted earlier this week now finds registered voters evenly
split in their assessments of the 43rd president -- a verdict roughly
equal to the esteem in which they hold his successor, President Obama.As
Bush prepares to attend the dedication of his presidential library in Dallas,
Texas, on Thursday, his increasing approval generally mirrors the trend
for other former presidents, but Bush's turnaround is remarkable, given
how low the numbers were when he left office. At his lowest,
amid the dark days of the financial collapse in October 2008, only
23 percent rated Bush positively.Throughout President Obamas first term
-- when the incumbent relentlessly blamed his predecessor for the state
of the economy and a host of national security problems -- Bush,
aside from promoting his 2010 memoir and giving a small number of
paid speeches, mostly remained silent. This was in keeping with the practice
of his father, George H.W. Bush, of never criticizing his successor, and
it may partially explain the rise in esteem for th

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> rt says Ferrelle told officers that
when he passed back by the house on his return trip later
in the day, Currington got in his own boat with a camera
and chased Ferrelle to where he docks his tour boat. Currington was
cursing and threatening to "(expletive) Mr. Ferrelle up," the police report
said."If I hadn't gotten into my slip fast enough, I believe he
would have run me over," Ferrelle told police, according to the incident
report.A woman saying she was the caretaker of an elderly man sharing
the same address as Currington also called police to complain a passing
boat nearly knocked the man off the home's dock and into the
water. The police report said the woman was talking about the events
that led to Currington chasing after the tour boat."Well what is it
we can do to keep people from coming up on our docks
or swamping our docks?" said the woman, identified in the police report
as Julie Muscleman.Ferrelle called police again the next day saying he feared
for his life because he had another tour scheduled and would have
to pass by Currington's property again after being threatened. The incident
report said police agreed to have a patrol boat nearby when Ferrelle
passed the home.The tour boat captain told police he had no idea
why Currington was so angry. Ferrelle did not return phone messages left
Wednesday and Thursday by The Associated Press.Currington is a native of
the Georgia coast. His hits include "Pretty Good At Drinkin'
Shown here are Federal Premium hollow point bullets.APRepublican Rep. Jason
Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
