POPSKidnap victim, children go to hotel to begin new life Dugard faces a change of identity -- she apparently was known as "Allissa" while living behind her captor's house -- and "has no idea what's out there," Morrison said. She may actually miss her captors because they apparently have been the center of her world for so long, she said. Probyn said he had lost hope over the years that his stepdaughter would ever be found. Now, he and Dugard's mother are faced with a potentially difficult reunion with their daughter -- and grandchildren they didn't know existed until this week. Garrido showed up on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley with his two daughters and tried to get permission to hand out literature and speak police officers contacted Garrido's parole officer. The presence of Allissa and the two children surprised the parole officer, who had never seen them during visits to Garrido's house.

POPSAir Force Vet Breaks Silence on What Hit Pentagon on 911 Another oddity he noted was the story of young Israeli citizens, in this country illegally, who had set up a tripod camera on the roof of the warehouse where they worked and trained their camera on the Twin Towers shortly before the attacks. Witnesses told police the boys celebrated the attacks by joyfully jumping and slapping hands. Police held the men overnight and they were returned to Israel the next day. All this was reported in the mainstream media, but the story was immediately dropped. How did these Israelis know where to be and when to film the Trade Center disaster? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzl3juBt2Z8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtorXLa2JrE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS89vNH-eeY

POPSElderly scooter rider takes wrong turn This is a sad situation. Forgive me but I have to suppress my urge to laugh. When I picture it in my mind, it turns into a comedy skit or part of a movie. I am glad he is OK

POPSChild bodies found in freezer What kind of comment can I possibly make about such an obscene tragedy? ~~~~ She is going to jail for a long time and will live with women, many of whom likely have children of their own -- in foster care(?). That about sums it up.

POPSActor Heath Ledger found dead in NYC This is so sad. They don't even mention one of my most favorite movies that he was in -"The Brothers Grimm". Proof that fame and fortune do not necessarily = happiness. May he rest in peace.

POPSToo much water in the pot I am sure it was just for personal use. Why would they send firefighters to check a water leak? Don't they have water fighters?
