"It's exciting to have people who are proud to be back in the city," said Piatt, who wore a Red Sox shirt during her shift. Across the street at Marathon Sports, where mannequins sported Boston Strong shirts in the display window, assistant in a home of champions, Boston will hold a rolling rally through city streets Saturday morning to hail the World Series champion Red Sox, bringing a moment of triumph to the scene of the Boston Marathon bombing.

The path down Boylston Street will provide a poignant backdrop to the parade and pay tribute to a team whose stunning success came to symbolize the city's resilience and resolve in the aftermath of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 260. By Jasper Craven GLOBE CORRESPONDENT Baseball fans besieged Boston sports stores Thursday, clamoring for gear stamped with the Boston Red Sox logo and three joyous words: World Series Champions. Official World Series gear is flying off the shelves in the area, with stores receiving shipments, in some cases every hour, of freshly printed hats and shirts rushed in from across the country.

DAVIS, on his last day as police commissioner A reflective, assured Davis ready for next stage Senate OK'sbffl on drug mixing Some pharmacies to face new rules Candidates' views diverge widely Police commissioner leaves after 7 years By Maria Cramer GLOBE STAFF oston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis will not be in the department's command center watching over the World Series victory parade Saturday. By Chelsea Conaboy GLOBE STAFF The state Senate passed a bill Wednesday requiring compounding pharmacies that custom mix sterile drugs to obtain a special license from the state pharmacy board, submit to annual inspections, and report more information about their operations. But, unlike the plan approved last month by the House, it temporarily exempts a large segment of the industry: hospital pharmacies. Instead, the bill would create a commission to review oversight of hospital pharmacies and make recommendations by July 2015.

If no change is made by then, the hospitals would become subject to the same rules as other compounding pharmacies. "A hospital is a very different setting from a manufacturer's setting," said Anuj Goel, vice president of legal and regulatory affairs at the Massachusetts Hospital Association. He noted that hospitals monitor their drug quality and are subject to outside reviews conducted by accreditation boards and the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, reviews not done at wholesale drugmakers. "Hospitals have always been and continue to be regulated." But federal visits to hospital pharmacies occur irregularly, and state inspections are done as part of overall hospital licensing. The state pharmacy board now has no role in inspecting hospital pharmacies, though it does license their pharmacists.

The bill comes after tainted drugs produced last year at a Massachusetts commercial compounding pharmacy, New England Compounding Center, sickened 751 people, killing 64.

On a warm afternoon last month, he ran up and down Washington Street in Roxbury, popping his head into storefronts and dropping off thick batches of literature explaining his platform, before dashing back to his worn blue car to get more. "Our district has the least jobs, the least services; we have the most violence," Crawford stopped to tell a mother walking with her child, "and the way I see it, the worst representation." The 42-year-old community activist has spent the past 3V2 months mounting a sticker campaign against well-liked City Council incumbent Tito Jackson for the District 7 seat. "I've been in office about 2V2 years, and we have many accomplishments," Jackson said during his opening statement at a candidates forum in Hibernian Hall earlier this week, before going on to highlight his work to improve Madison Park High School, cut down on gun violence, and make sure residents are getting jobs connected to high-profile development projects in the district.

"There's a great deal of work that we need to continue to do to make sure that as District 7 DISTRICT 7, Page B4 As ecstatic Red Sox faithful line up on Boylston Street, Davis will instead be at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, judging college students in a public safety "hackathon." "I'm really looking forward to it," Davis said Thursday in a conference room at Boston Police headquarters. Nearby, his office was crammed with white moving boxes. Only his coffee mug, a few pens, and pictures of his family remained to be packed. On Friday, Davis, 57, is leaving the department after seven years as commissioner. On the eve of his last day, he was neither wistful nor worried about departing just before a parade expected to draw tens of thousands to the city and to the same spot where two bombs killed three people and injured more than 260 in April.

"I've done everything I can do," Davis said. "I know there is a great team here and they'll be just fine without me." During a 35-minute interview, Davis was reflective, if somewhat tired from a cold and, of course, from working until 2 a.m. the night before, supervising the police response to boisterous celebrations after the Red Sox World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. "I still love this job," he said.

"I envy my successor." Superintendent in Chief Daniel Linskey, the department's second in command, will be in charge of security in Saturday's parade. The mayor has not named an interim commissioner.
