Business Editors

ADVISORY...for Tuesday Tuesday: see week.  (April 20)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

Court TV

WHAT:   Northport High School students will try and solve the
        "Cafeteria Caper" as part of Court TV's "Forensics in the
        Classroom," the country's first standards-based forensics
        curriculum, available free of charge online to schools
        nationwide. Thirty Junior and Senior Forensic Science students
        will be put to the task of solving a mystery involving severe
        vandalism and a cut gas line in their school's cafeteria. A
        Crime Scene Investigator from the Suffolk County Attorney's
        Office will attend class and teach the kids how to properly
        handle the crime scene. Students will collect clues in the
        cafeteria then take crucial photos and calculated measurements
        before going back to the lab to test hair fibers, stomach
        contents, and perform blood, chromosome and DNA analysis to
        try and solve the caper.

WHO:    Teacher Matt Schildknecht will conduct the class with
        Sergeant Dave Tricamo of the Suffolk County District
        Attorney's Office. A Junior and Senior Forensic Science class
        from Northport High School join the investigation using Court
        TV's critically acclaimed science curriculum "Forensics in the
        Classroom."

WHEN:   Tuesday, April 20th from 9:30 am to 10:15 am

WHERE:  154 Laurel Hill Road, Northport, New York, 11768

ADDITIONAL INFO: "Forensics in the Classroom," (FIC) Court TV's
        educational initiative was developed in partnership with the
        American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) and the National
        Science Teachers Association (NSTA). Teachers across the
        country have contributed input and the lessons were drafted by
        experienced curriculum specialists Topics Education Group. The
        curriculum combines standard high school lab experiments with
