 Body confirmed to be that of Alicia DeBolt



GREAT BEND, Kansas – Attorney General Steve Six announced during a press conference this morning that a body found just outside of Great Bend Tuesday evening is in fact that of missing 14-year-old Alicia DeBolt.

DeBolt had been missing since Saturday night when she left her home to attend a party with a 19-year-old friend.

Steve Six said the body was positively identified after an autopsy in Wichita Wednesday evening. Six said an autopsy had to be done to make the identification because it had been burned.

While Six says the investigation is ongoing, he said law enforcement officials do not believe it was a random act of violence.

Authorities are asking anyone who may have seen or spoken with her Saturday night to contact police.

Nadja Benaissa, a member of the popular German girl band, won't be heading to prison despite 

     Nadja Benaissa is a member of a popular girl 
     band in Germany, ' No Angels '
being found guilty of having unprotected sex with men and failing to inform them she was HIV positive.

A court in Germany spared the 28-year-old of jail time, and instead sentenced her to a two-year suspended sentence, according to the German news agency, ddp
Benaissa was on trial for grievous bodily harm and attempted aggravated assault.

The one-time pop star was tried 
in juvenile court because the sexual encounters began when she was 17, which is also the age she was when she learned she had HIV after a pregnancy test.
The single mother was accused of having sex with three men from 2000 to 2004, one of whom became infected with HIV.

"I never wanted this to happen to any one of my partners," Benaissa said during a statement read to the court last week.

 "I'd been told the likelihood of infecting someone or that I would develop [AIDS] was more or less zero," she said. "For that reason I kept the news even from my close group of friends [as] I didn't want my daughter to be stigmatized."

Although she did not directly admit to concealing her condition from her sexual partners, she said it was "possible" the accusations were true.

"No Angels" is one of Germany's most successful girl bands, after finding fame through an "American Idol"-like talent show. The band has several hit singles, with nine albums under its belt since 2001.
Elin Nordegren Woods joins the club
Tiger’s ex breaks silence — how disappointing

Elin Nordegren Woods was thisclose to rising above it all.

 
But the Greta Garbo of golfers’ wives broke her nearly yearlong silence, giving People magazine an exclusive interview nine months after her husband, Tiger Woods, was outed as a sex-crazed philanderer with a mistress waiting on every back nine.

“My Own Story: WORLD EXCLUSIVE! Elin Nordegren reveals the heartbreak of the past nine months and how she stays strong.”

Welcome to celebrity, Elin. I hope you scored a decent swag bag.

The former swimsuit model and nanny who - even before Tigergate - was mum with the media, told People that “being a private person is the only normalcy.”

Yet, she was the one who approached the magazine and sat down for 19 hours to set the record straight a day after her divorce from Tiger was finalized.

Funny how the self-proclaimed “private people” finally tell all to celebrity magazines with high circulations. How come no one’s ever confessed to Charlie Rose?

Darrelle Revis and Jets still far apart on deal, Steve Sabol says 'Hard Knocks' is part of blackout

The chatter surrounding an impending blockbuster deal for Darrelle Revis was reduced to a whisper Wednesday.

Despite reports over the past several days that the Jets' All-Pro cornerback was on the verge of signing a new deal, the Daily News has learned that both sides still remain far apart in financial terms 25 days into his holdout. In other words, there's nothing new on the negotiation front.

Contrary to reports, the Jets and Revis' camp did not meet Tuesday night to put the finishing touches on a reworked deal. The cornerback also did not appear on "Hard Knocks" Wednesday night.

Woody Johnson, who was in Atlanta Wednesday for the NFL owners' meetings, characterized the situation as "status quo" to the NFL Network.

Said Rex Ryan after practice at Hofstra: "I'm not going to talk about Revis. Both sides agreed to that."

Steve Sabol, the president of NFL Films, which produces "Hard Knocks," told ESPN radio Wednesday that Revis wouldn't appear on the third episode of the HBO show. He admitted that HBO had no plans to add any late-breaking news if Revis had come to a contract agreement after the final version of the show was put together Wednesday afternoon.

"We're not news gatherers," Sabol said. "We're not really investigative reporters."

Revis, who has three years remaining on his six-year rookie contract, is looking to become the league's highest-paid cornerback. The Jets rewarded half of their nucleus in the past six weeks with new deals. Left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson signed a six-year, $60 million extension last month. HBO cameras captured Nick Mangold signing his new seven-year deal in the final few minutes of the episode Wednesday night.

There were several references to Revis on the third episode of the show, including Bart Scott's crack during a magic show on the team's final night in Cortland.

As the magician handed Mark Sanchez a deck of cards and reached inside his jacket, Scott said: "Make Revis show up. That would be a hell of a trick."

The Jets and Revis' agents imposed a media blackout two weeks ago after both sides took public swipes at each other.

Agent Neil Schwartz referred to Johnson's claim that he was "rebuffed" from attending an Aug. 6 secret meeting at the now-infamous Roscoe Diner as a "blatant joke." Ryan, in turn, characterized Schwartz's stance as a "blatant joke" and suggested the entire organization set up a town-hall-style meeting with Revis to hammer out a deal. Both sides issued a joint statement to keep talks under wraps shortly thereafter.

According to Sabol, the "Hard Knocks" crew wasn't excluded from the blackout.

"We don't want to affect contract negotiations," Sabol said. "Just like the rest of the media, we were part of the blackout. So we don't have anything to report in that area."

Website Wikileaks publishes '9/11 messages'


November 26, 2009

By BBC News[1]


A website has published what it says are 573,000 intercepted pager messages sent during the 9/11 attacks in the United States.

Wikileaks says it will not reveal who gave it the messages - some of which are from federal agencies as well as ordinary citizens.

Internet analysts say they believe the messages are genuine but federal authorities have refused to comment.


The attacks on 11 September 2001 left nearly 3,000 people dead.

The messages are being published over a 24-hour period, ending at 0800GMT on Thursday. They are being released simultaneously on Wikileaks and social networking site Twitter.

'Live' broadcast The website is broadcasting each message at the time it was sent originally in 2001.

The first message was from 0300 local time (0800 GMT), five hours before the first attack in New York and the last 24 hours later.

The messages are not all about the attacks. Some are mundane questions about what people are having for lunch.

However, many are about the deadly plane attacks and range from people trying to find out if their loved ones are safe, to government messages, to computer server errors.



They include messages such as

    * This is Myrna, I will not rest until you get home, the second tower is down, I don't want to have to keep calling you after every event. Pls just go home
    * President has been rerouted won't be returning to Washington but not sure where he will go
    * Bomb detonated in World Trade Ctr. Pls get back to Mike Brady w/a quick assessment of your areas and contact us if anything is needed

New York's fire and police departments said they could not comment on whether messages purportedly sent from them were genuine while the US Secret Service refused to comment.

Pager company USA Mobility said it was troubled by the alleged interceptions, the Associated Press news agency reported.

Wikileaks allows people to anonymously post documents on the web, saying its aim is to promote transparency.

It was created in 2006 by dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and technologists from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa.

Wikileaks spokesman Daniel Schmitt said the messages were submitted anonymously to the site several weeks ago.

He told Associated Press: "From the context information that the source provided we have strong reasons to believe that this is valid data."

He said the messages would help provide a fuller picture of what happened that day.
