Katie "Babyfayce" found alive

The famed internet star Katie Babyfayce has been found alive and well working at a Ben & Jerry's in Oklahoma, say sources close to Babyfayce. "She has been fine this whole time just running the register at the ice cream shop" said one source. "It's good to know she's doing ok."

Attempts to contact Katie have been so far unsucessful, however, it is rumored that Babyfayce is still online making new postings between scoops of icecream. The 25 year old mother of 4 may have some internet fame left in her yet.

(CNN) -- An Aruban police dive team will search the site where an underwater photograph was taken that might show human remains, a spokeswoman for the Aruban prosecutor said Saturday.
The picture has renewed interest in the nearly 5-year-old Natalee Holloway case.
Officials first heard of the picture, taken in October by a vacationing American couple, on Thursday, Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for Aruban prosecutor Peter Blanken, said
"We have received the picture, and the diving team of the Aruban police will start doing preliminary work at the spot where we believe it was taken," Angela told CNN.

Feds sieze 5 marijuana plants at dead woman's apartment

2010-03-21T12:36:00.000-07:00

Ewe Beach, Hawaii

The DEA, working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, took four firearms, a bulletproof vest, a computer and five marijuana plants from the Ewe beach apartment of Victoria Schneider in Oahu on Sunday. Schneider was recently killed in a car collision with passenger Callindra Drogan.

The DEA said in a statement that it received information earlier this week suggesting that Schneider was growing marijuana in her apartment. DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Gordon Taylor said authorities obtained a warrant when it was discovered the apartment was not occupied and seized a number of items from Schneider's apartment but have not released specifics, including the complete inventory of items seized. A witness at the scene saw the DEA remove furniture and several bags from the apartment in addition to the items released in the statement.

Schneider has no prior felony convictions.

Stewart Udall, interior secretary in '60s, dies

2010-03-20T18:20:00.001-07:00

Udall, father of New Mexico Senator Tom Udall and brother of the late congressman and one-time presidential contender Morris Udall, was the last surviving member of Kennedy's original Cabinet.
A leading environmentalist, Udall played key roles in passing the Wilderness Act that created a system of protecting lands mostly in the West, expanding river and shore protections, establishing new wildlife refuges and adding four parks to the National Park System.
Born in Arizona, Udall was an Air Force gunner in Europe during World War Two, was elected to four terms in the Congress, then served in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations during the 1960s.
Udall was the lead lawyer for a group of Navajo Indians who were some of the country's earliest uranium miners and were not warned of the dangers from exposure. He also represented people living downwind of atmospheric nuclear bomb testing and workers from the Nevada Test Site.
Udall, who remained a vigorous environmental advocate after his retirement, died at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, his family said.

Fox News erases 2006 Hawaii earthquake to attack President Obama

2010-03-18T09:05:00.000-07:00

Responding to President Obama's March 17 statement that Hawaii "went through an earthquake" and could benefit from a health care reform provision that would help Louisiana cope with Medicaid shortfalls resulting from Hurricane Katrina, Steve Doocy asked, "What Hawaiian earthquake?" In fact, as Fox News reported at the time, President Bush declared a "major disaster" after Hawaii was hit by a magnitude 6.7 earthquake in October 2006.

On March 18, Fox & Friends aired Obama's statement that the health care reform provision that benefits Louisiana "also helps Hawaii, which went through an earthquake." Co-host Steve Doocy responded:

DOOCY: Hold it. What Hawaiian earthquake? There was an earthquake in 1868 that killed 77. There was an earthquake in 1975 that killed two. ABC is reporting that apparently on page 432 of the Reid bill, there's a section describing exactly how a state would qualify. It would have to be within the last seven fiscal years. Essentially it boils down to just one state, and that is Louisiana.

Bush declared "major disaster" after 2006 earthquake hit Hawaii

A magnitude 6.7 earthquake hit Hawaii on October 15, 2006. As Media Matters' Adam Shah noted in response to right-wing bloggers who claimed Obama was "making up" an earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey states that Hawaii suffered a magnitude 6.7 earthquake on October 15, 2006.
Bush declared "major disaster" in "the State of Hawaii." On October 16, 2006, the White House stated:

The President today declared a major disaster exists in the State of Hawaii and ordered Federal aid to supplement State and local recovery efforts in the area struck by an earthquake that occurred on October 15, 2006, and related aftershocks.
Federal funding is available to State and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis in the counties of Hawaii, Honolulu, Kauai, and Maui and the City of Honolulu for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance.
Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide.
R. David Paulison, Director, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, named Michael L. Karl as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area.
The Agency said that more areas and additional forms of assistance may be designated after damage assessments are fully completed in the affected areas.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FEMA (202) 646-4600.

Fox & Friends reported on earthquake at the time

On the October 18, 2006, edition of Fox & Friends, correspondent Lauren Green reported:

GREEN: President Bush declares a federal disaster in Hawaii following a 6.7 magnitude earthquake, and this opens up the door to more federal recovery dollars and programs to fix damaged roadways and bridges and schools. Early damage estimates from the quake could be as high as $73 million.

Fox News' The Big Story also covered Hawaii earthquake. From the October 16, 2006, edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson: [transcript from Nexis]

GIBSON: Now for the big natural disaster story out there in paradise. The massive 6.6 magnitude earthquake strikes Hawaii. The strongest to hit the islands in over two decades. The quake sparked mudslides, blackouts, collapsed roads. Luckily no deaths have been reported. Inspectors are now out in the area checking for major structural damage. Fox's Anita Vogel live on the videophone now with an update from Honolulu.
Hi, Anita.
ANITA VOGEL, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Hi, John. I'm actually in Kona. We're on the Big Island now, not too far away from where the epicenter of this quake is. I can tell you one local woman we talked to probably put it the best when she said yesterday was a day that most Hawaiians will never forget. As you mentioned, this was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the region in so many years. And it caused as many as 40 aftershocks.
Now the initial quake was centered not too far from where we are right now, about 10 miles of off the coast of the Big Island, off the coast of Kona. It was a 6.6 or 6.7 magnitude temblor. It caused widespread power outages, landslides and rockslides and structural damage to many buildings, including homes. In one case it led to a house fire that caused major smoke damage. Even people who consider themselves veterans of earthquakes say this was indeed a very big one.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I lived all my life on the San Andreas fault in California. I've never felt an earthquake like this before, ever.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What was it like? Describe it.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It shook the house for so long, everything flew. Everything in the house fell, everything.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VOGEL: Sixty seconds a long time for appear earthquake to be shaking. Yesterday the governor declared a state of emergency. She said she was relieved that despite the force of the earthquake, there were no serious injuries or fatalities. But there were plenty of close calls. At one extended care facility here on the Big Island, nearly 50 people had to be evacuated after the ceiling tiles fell town and the floor was flooded from a water main break.
Now, John, the work is hardly over here. There are plenty of teams out assessing the damage and we're learning this afternoon that FEMA is even sending a team of 75 people to go out and make sure that no one is trapped out there and in need of help. Back to you.

GIBSON: Fox's Anita Vogel in Kona, Hawaii.
