Kidnapped Girl Found 18 Years Later

Kidnapped Girl Found 18 Years Later

The stepfather of Jaycee Dugard, the South Lake Tahoe 11-year-old girl abducted from in 1991, told News10 Wednesday night that family members believe authorities have found the now 29-year-old Jaycee alive.“It’s an absolute miracle if it is her…can you imagine this after 18 years?,” Probyn said in a telephone interview.The amazing news of Dugard’s return came after a Concord police officer confirmed to News10 that local agencies were investigating the claims of a woman who allegedly walked into a Contra Costa County law enforcement office Wednesday and said she was kidnapped 18 years ago.Probyn, a contractor who now lives in the southern California community of Orange, said Jaycee’s mother Terry received a call at her job with the Riverside School District from the FBI Wednesday afternoon.Probyn said the agent on the phone identified himself and said, “We’ve got Jaycee.” Terry then had a phone conversation with the woman authorities believed to be her long-lost daughter, a conversation that left Terry “positive” that Jaycee was home, Probyn said.He said his wife thought Jaycee sounded normal and not like she was mistreated over the last 18 years. Terry said that “(Jaycee) remembered a lot,” according to Probyn, who was in “complete shock that (Jaycee) is alive.”Terry Probyn told Carl that the FBI didn’t get into where Jaycee was or who she was with for the past 18 years, but said “she was with some people and…they are in custody.” Probyn said he had no idea about the identity of those “people.”

Big Brother 11 Episode 22

With plans to backdoor Russell, Jeff saved Kevin with the veto in Big Brother 11 Episode 21.
Michele’s losing her closest ally and upset about it. Maybe she should have chosen someone borderline reliable as a partner.
Russell agrees this was a smart move. He just doesn’t have to like it. Jeff finds Russell’s threats thoroughly amusing. He’s happy to be getting rid of this nutcase who blows up all the time at everybody.
Russell’s plan: Kevin should stab Natalie in the back and keep him in the house instead. Really?
Then there’s yelling and yelling and more yelling. Can this moron just be voted out already?
Lydia greets Jessie with a hug. Then she pretends to beat him up so she doesn’t lose face after having told Julie Chen what she would do. Yeah, that’ll last.
As a reward for making it to the final five, the ridiculous/stupid/pointless have/have not thing is over.
Jeff thinks the elimination of Russell will make his game.
Natalie would just like to thank her fellow houseguests in advance for keeping her in the house, since they’ve already told her that they will. With that said, it’s time to vote.

Very Latest:Latest Michael Jackson Press Releases

It is not my intention to update the site with gossip and legal wrangling's that may go on now that Michael Jackson has sadly passed away. In the future when things have settled down I will update the Michael Jackson news section with any entertainment related news, such as any Tribute concerts or shows, Jackson family entertainment news and any future releases of Michael Jackson music.

Michael Jackson Funeral News.

No news has been confirmed regarding the funeral of Michael Jackson. However it is rumored that the Jackson family have not ruled out a public funeral.

Update: Its been reported that the Jackson family are considering an independent autopsy of Michael Jackson's body. This is likely to delay any funeral date announcement.

Update: The Jackson family are reportedly gathering to discuss Michael Jackson's funeral arrangements.

Update, June 29th Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson attended the BET Awards. When asked about Michael's Jacksons funeral he stated that no plans had yet been finalized.

Update June 30th Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson gave a press conference last night and confirmed no funeral plans were yet in place. He did imply that a funeral for someone as hugely popular as michael Jackson couldn't be private.

Pubilic Viewing of Michael's Body The Jackson family have announced there will be no public viewing of Michael Jackson's body.

Michael Jackson Funeral Date: Early reports say Michael Jackson funeral service will be held on Sunday 5th July. There will be a public memorial service for Michael Jackson on Tuesday 7th July. For infomration on how to get a ticket (if you can genuinely attend) see the See Staples Center web site.

I don't know what religion Michael Jackson was, obviously a private matter in his life and I tried to keep this site focused on his talent and the entertainment.
There were alot of rumours that Michael Jackson was a Muslim like his older brother Jermaine Jackson, so if that is the case it might be a Muslim funeral. I guess in time we will find out this type of information.
Millions of fans are asking "Where is Michael Jackson's Funeral?" and "Where is Michael Jackson's Funeral?" Where possible they will want to travel to pay there respects. This could be one of the biggest funerals in the world since Princess Diana died over 10 years ago.

Don Hewitt's '60 Minutes' remains timeless and elegant

The newsmagazine has stuck to its sober approach even during this shrill era.

When it comes to reporting news, and even the less-urgent doings of the world, plainness is a virtue. The awfulness or delight of any truly awful or delightful story will speak for itself; complex issues do not benefit from screaming.
The stopwatch that ticks through the CBS television newsmagazine "60 Minutes" perfectly encapsulates the straightforward, unadorned approach that the program -- created by Don Hewitt, who died Wednesday at age 86 -- has maintained since it went on the air in 1968 (a year in which there was much screaming, from many sides).

This is just a slice of time out of the turning world, it says; and in form as well as content, "60 Minutes" stands in elegant relief against the network newsmagazines that followed in its wake, shows whose video-game graphics and summer-blockbuster music cues pummel the viewer into a state of fear or rage even before a word is spoken.

SO PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS.You never know the person next to you might be affected.
Knowledge is the first step here. So please do read the Entire Section as it is been released by Medical Authorities for educating people.
I hope this will be taken in positive response from EXBII. :)

SWINE FLU FACTFILE

What are the symptoms?

Swine flu symptoms are similar to the symptoms of regular flu and include fever of over 100.4°F, fatigue, lack of appetite, and cold. Some people with swine flu have also reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Nearly everyone with flu has at least two of these symptoms.

So, how do you know if you have flu or just cold?
There is one clue: when you have the flu, you feel flu symptoms sooner than you would cold symptoms, and they come on with much greater intensity. With the flu, you may feel very weak and fatigued for up to 2 or 3 weeks. You'll have muscle aches and periods of chills and sweats as fever comes and goes. You may also have a stuffy or runny nose, headache, and sore throat.

Can I compare flu symptoms with cold symptoms?
Yes. The following chart can help you compare flu symptoms with cold symptoms. Use it to lean the differences and similarities between flu and cold symptoms. Then, if you get flu symptoms, call your doctor and ask about an antiviral drug.



Symptoms / Cold / Flu
Fever / Rare / Characteristic, high 100-102 degrees F); lasts 3-4 days

Headache / Rare / Prominent

General aches, pains / Slight Usual; /often severe

Fatigue, Weakness / Quite mild / Can last up to 2-3 weeks

Extreme Exhaustion / Never / Early and prominent

Stuffy Nose / Common / Sometimes

Chest Discomfort,Cough / Mild to moderate; hacking cough / Common; can become severe

You cannot confirm if you have swine flu just based on your symptoms. Like seasonal flu, pandemic swine flu can cause neurologic symptoms in children. These events are rare, but, as cases associated with seasonal flu have shown, they can be very severe and often fatal.

Doctors may offer a rapid flu test, but what you need to understand is a negative result doesn't necessarily mean you don't have the flu. Only lab tests can definitively show whether you've got swine flu. State health departments can do these tests.

Powerful typhoon hits China

1 million evacuated as powerful typhoon hits China

BEIJING — A powerful typhoon toppled houses, flooded villages and forced nearly 1 million people to flee to safety on China's eastern coast before weakening into a tropical storm Monday.

Named Morakot, the storm struck after triggering the worst flooding in Taiwan in 50 years, leaving hundreds missing or unaccounted for and bringing down a six-story hotel. It earlier lashed the Philippines, killing at least 22 people.
Morakot, or emerald in Thai, slammed into China's Fujian province Sunday afternoon as a typhoon carrying heavy rain and winds of 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour, according the China Meteorological Administration. At least one child died after a house collapsed in Zhejiang province.
By early Monday, the storm packed winds of 52 miles per hour (83 kilometers per hour) and churned at about 6 mph (10 kph), it said.
Hundreds of villages and towns were flooded and more than 2,000 houses collapsed, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
People stumbled with flashlights as the storm enveloped the town of Beibi in Fujian in darkness, Xinhua said. Strong winds uprooted trees or snapped them apart, while farmers used buckets to catch fish swept out of fish farms by high waves.
Village officials in Zhejiang rode bicycles to hand out drinking water and instant noodles to residents stranded by deep floods, while rescuers tried to reach eight sailors on a cargo ship blown onto a reef off Fujian, Xinhua reported.
About 1 million people were evacuated from China's eastern coastal provinces.
Morakot hit Taiwan late Friday and crossed the island Saturday causing the worst flooding in half a century.
Authorities used helicopters to drop food Monday at mountainous Shiaolin village in southern Kaohsiung county, which was hit by a massive landslide. Bad weather prevented the helicopters from landing, and official Yang Chiu-hsing said rescuers were prevented from approaching Shiaolin by road because bridges and roads had been damaged by floods.
Taiwan's CTI and ETTV Cable News reported more than 100 houses in the community may have been buried in the landslide, leaving some 1,000 villagers unaccounted for.
Outside of Shiaolin, Taiwan's Disaster Relief Center said Morakot killed 12 people and another 52 were missing, including 14 people whose makeshift home was swept away. Two policemen were washed away while helping to evacuate villagers in southeastern Taitung county.
The government set up a task force to coordinate relief work in the worst-hit counties in the south, where many towns and villages remained inundated by floodwaters, officials said.
In Japan, meanwhile, Typhoon Etau slammed into the western coast Monday. Twelve people were killed in raging floodwaters and landslides and 10 others were missing, police said.
In the northern Philippines, the death toll from Morakot rose to 22 Monday with 18 injured and four missing, including three European tourists who were swept away.
