Sentencing in infamous newborn-snatching case

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This May 24, 2010, file photo provided by the Wake County (N.C.) Bureau of Identification shows Ann Pettway, who snatched a newborn baby from a New York hospital more than two decades ago.

By NBCNewYork.com

A woman who snatched a newborn baby from a New York City hospital more than two decades ago and raised her as her own was being sentenced on Monday.

Ann Pettway will learn her fate from a Manhattan federal court judge.

Pettway, 51, pleaded guilty to a kidnapping charge in February.

During her court appearance then, she offered details of the 1987 kidnapping. She said she took a train from her Connecticut home to Harlem Hospital, where she scooped up 3-week-old Carlina White, who had been brought to the emergency room by her parents.

As part of Pettway's plea bargain, prosecutors recommended between 10 and 12? years in prison. The judge was to decide at the sentencing scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Monday.

Carlina's birth mother, Joy White, wept during Pettway's plea in February. "I've lost 23 years of being with my daughter," she said, adding that those decades were filled with pain and heartache.

During the proceeding, Pettway told the court: "I went to the hospital. I took a child. It was wrong."

But she offered no explanation for her action.

White said she encountered Pettway at the hospital on the day her daughter disappeared, dressed like a nurse. "She came up to me and said to me, 'Don't cry. Your daughter is going to be OK.'"

The case was solved by Carlina herself.

Woman pleads guilty in 1987 newborn kidnapping case

As she grew up in Connecticut under another name, the girl became increasingly suspicious of her own identity. Pettway told her she had been given away by a drug addict.

Carlina White said she browsed the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for clues to her identity. After matching a photo of herself with one on the site, she tracked down her true mother and they reunited in January of 2011. A DNA test confirmed they were mother and child.

Today, they speak every day, Joy White said.

"I love my daughter. She's a beautiful girl," she said, adding that she had kept a picture of her missing baby at her bedside for 23 years. ? ??

Frustrated incorporated. (looooong) - BabyandBump

this may be a long rant about OH.

So after waiting a solid 15 weeks to finally tell my family about the pregnancy, i mustered up the courage and it went alot better then i ever expected. which i'm happy i did because i was going to wait till me and OH were supposed to be going home to visit (home is 900 miles away). but the day before we were scheduled to leave, the army decided to tell him he wasnt approved for leave. (BULL)

the whole time we had planned to go, i always had this feeling he didnt want to. (back story) in june we were supposed to go visit his mother and sisters who leave 12 hours south of us, and not where my family is. and a few days before we left his mom told him i wasnt welcome in her house, so we didnt go.

he's VERY attached to his mother, he calls her about everything. i didnt mind for awhile until i realized how bad it was. he calls her everytime we fight to bitch about it. and in turn it has made her hate me. i cant say i blame her, but at the same time, he tells her his side of every story, which is usually "i didnt do anything shes crazy waah wahh waaah" so his mom thinks i'm some crazy bitch, which really...i'm not. and she KNOWS how he is, why take his side without even talking to me? his family used to LOVE ME.

so anyway, a few weeks ago he literally woke me up at 4am to fight with me, all i wanted to do was sleep, i wasnt arguing, i wasnt fighting, i wasnt saying or doing anything, i was ignoring him completely. what does he do? calls mom.

but its 5am by her, and shes asleep, so he calls his sister and doesnt stop calling until she answers and tells her to wake up their mother.

so he crys to her and blah blah. fights over by the time he gets home from work, however his sister is pissed. (at ME!!!!!) she literally googled my PARENTS home address and sent me a text message with it saying "haha bitch, i know where you live" she continued with "let me find out your lying about being pregnant and see what happens" and "watch who you say haha too because i'll be the one with the last laugh"

the harassing texts continue until OH finally has her number blocked from my phone. so she starts on fb. i blocked her, so she trys my mom, she cant message my mom, so she messages my 18 YEAR OLD LITTLE SISTER!!!!!

"get your sister away from my brother or i will."

........Wtf?

so he has a "talk" with his mom and his other sister who is FUMING about her doing this to me. but nothing comes of it. he still talks to her like its nothing and acts like it never happened.

so anyway, my mom wanted us to come home end of august, and now that she knows ab bubs she wants to throw a baby shower, with his family (that lives out by home) and mine. trying to organize that in 3 weeks is impossible so we settled on october being a great time for it. i was talking to OH about it, and jokingly said "you know men arent invited to these right?!" because MOST of the time, men dont want to, or only women are invited. OBVIOUSLY hes coming to ours, i was just messing, but he got all serious and said "fine ill have my own, i'll go smoke cigars and get drunk" -whatever.

i mentioned how my mom wanted to extend the invitation to his mother down south, even though she figured she wouldnt make the trip, but felt rude just not inviting her. and he said she wont come we'll have another shower down by her.

so i said with who? i have some family there, but not enough to have a "shower" with. its just my dads sister and all her kids, and i really dont talk to them much. maybe go for a nice dinner, but not have a party. and then his mom and two sisters. also, where would we stay? im not welcome in their house apparently, and you couldnt pay me to stay anywhere near the girl who wanted to threaten my life, and say all those things.

his other sister is a sweetheart, and his mom....well i guess shes getting over things about me, and his thrilled to be having a grandchild, but that doesnt change things with his other sister. and i wont make myself that uncomfortable. she was rude to me the first time we stayed there and she had never even met me yet, and this was when we had only been together a few months and were still honeymooners.

i just dont know what to do. i feel bad because its his family and i want them to be involved, after all i didnt make this baby by myself.

but i really dont have any strength to even go down by them and stay in a hotel and still have to see her. just thinking about her makes me want to cry.

he told me shes never been like this before, which actually pisses me off because he dated a girl before me who was a drugged out junkie and she hated her she would constantly fight with her, but she wasnt THIS nasty to that girl? and here i am, doing everything i can to make him happy, i come from a good family, a good background, ive been nothing but polite, and nice, and greatful to them, and i get treated like this?

i feel so lost in the sauce.

Trial shows China eager to end Bo Xilai scandal

China's decision to try fallen politician Bo Xilai's wife for murder underscores Communist leaders' determination to draw a line under a scandal that has engulfed the party ahead of a power handover, analysts say.

China announced Thursday that Bo's wife Gu Kailai and an aide to the couple had been charged with poisoning British businessman Neil Heywood, who was found dead in a hotel room in the southwestern city of Chongqing last November.

It was the latest development in a sensational case that has brought down one of the country's most high-profile political leaders and exposed deep divisions in the ruling Communist party ahead of a once-in-a-decade leadership handover.

Bo, the son of a revered Communist revolutionary, won national fame with a draconian crackdown on criminal elements in Chongqing and a "red revival" campaign marked by the mass singing of old Maoist-era songs.

The rapid unravelling of his fortunes earlier this year exposed a harsh factional reaction against the charismatic Chongqing party secretary, who had ambitions to join the elite nine-member group that effectively rules China.

Analysts said Thursday's announcement indicated that senior Communist chiefs, keen to settle the Bo affair before a new generation takes the reins of power later this year, had reached broad agreement on his fate.

"There won't be any more surprises. They are trying to shift the focus to Gu Kailai, so it is quite possible that Bo Xilai will not be treated harshly," said Willy Lam, a China expert at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

"This could be out of necessity for party unity, for the sake of harmony before the party Congress."

Several academics said the announcement indicated that Bo, who is being investigated by the party for "violating party discipline" -- usually code for corruption -- would be spared criminal charges.

This was likely the result of a deal between competing factions within the party ahead of the upcoming Congress, when China's most senior officials will relinquish their party positions to a new generation of leaders, they said.

"With these cases being dealt with at this time, I expect there to be smooth sailing to the 18th Party Congress," said Boston University international relations expert Joseph Fewsmith.

"There may be some bargaining to go, but most of it has been done."

Joseph Cheng, political analyst with Hong Kong City University, said the Party's determination to present a united front before the handover meant Gu's trial would "demonstrate that the case has nothing to do with Bo Xilai".

"I think the political considerations are more important to the authorities than ensuring a fair trial," he added.

Thursday's announcement on state news agency Xinhua said there was "irrefutable and substantial" evidence that Gu had poisoned Heywood after he threatened her son following a row over "economic interests".

The British businessman reportedly had commercial dealings with Bo and his wife going back several years.

China's state-run media have positioned Bo's downfall and Gu's trial as evidence that no leader is above punishment for misdeeds, in a country where official corruption remains a major source of public discontent.

An editorial in both the English and Chinese-language editions of the state-run Global Times daily on Friday said the trial would test "whether the principle that everybody is equal before the law truly stands".

Beijing is also under pressure from London to ensure that justice is done following the murder of a British national.

But analysts said the wording of the Xinhua announcement indicated that Gu was certain to be found guilty. If convicted of murder she faces the death penalty, although this is often commuted in the case of high-profile defendants.

It is not yet clear when the trial, to be held in the eastern city of Hefei, will take place, but experts, including City University's Cheng, said it would likely be next month.

"The leadership wants to have the issue settled publicly in response to domestic and internal pressure before the Congress," he said.

Autumn Sky Ranch: Ranch Dog

Autumn Sky Ranch: Ranch Dog

Ranch Dog

One of our dogs is an Aussie, or Australian Shepherd to be more formal. ? I was told she is from a line of working dogs, not the more fluffy show dog type that I often see. ? She is busy busy busy. ? It's just a shame we don't have animals that need to be tended or herded. ? When she was a puppy, she was a lunatic. ? No other word for it. ? I wasn't sure I could be her only companion so I brought home another puppy. ? He is an Aussie/Golden cross. ? He is much calmer and has to endure being the target of her natural herding instincts. ? She is smarter than any dog I've ever had. ? You might fool her once but you will NEVER fool her twice. ? She anticipates, strategizes, keep track of every one and every thing, and tries to stay a step ahead of the pack at all times. ? But she will collapse into a sweet submissive dog for attention and petting, hoping you will stay there with her all day. ? When she wants attention, she will bump your leg with her pointy nose. ? Over and over and over, until you reach down and pet her. ? Loving and loyal forever.


Erik came into our lives and nicknamed her The Bullet. ? As with herding dogs, she can go from your side, head out to the back of the property, turn and make it back to your side....lickety split. ? She is loyal to us and to our property. ? She barks too much but does her best to keep critters and garbage trucks away from our place. ? She smiles. ? The groomers love her because of her sweet nature...and her smile. ? And now she has taken up howling. ? When the donkeys holler out, she howls along with them. ??


This is our sweet and busy girl. ? We love her very much.

Tools and devices to beat police cameras and radar detectors

Tools & devices to bunk patrol cameras & radar detectors

Since the beginning, law enforcement agencies & offenders have been in a cat & mouse existence. Our modern world has equipped our government troopers with plenty electronic gadgets like street cameras, patrol radas & laser guns to keep track of traffic violators, over speeding motorists & arrest them with their pants down. With the ontogenesis of sophisticated technology, tabulator standards as well plied the market, such as radar detectors, laser jammers & newly license plate blanket spray, all designed to evade detection, which renders the business of troopers aggressive to handle.

What precisely are these devices? You could have noticed that our traffic signal systems have become rather sophisticated. Monitoring street traffic is today handled through the use of powerful personal computers& aided by street cameras, radar detectors, & laser guns. Should you commit a traffic violation, no officer of the law will accost & supply you a traffic ticket. Instead, all of these offenses are recorded & a traffic incursion ticket is straightaway sent to your address. It becomes doubly hard to feud a traffic infringement since stated infringement is electronically stored & elaborated in a oversized database, total with video blanket & time.

A merchandise that has been in use by numerous automobile owners is the radar detector. The thought behind this strategy is to supply warning signs once you drive by pertinent government installations like picture radars, red-light cameras & as well speed cameras. These installations are good deterrents against those prone to commit street violations, beery driving or drug corresponding offenses.

For those in the habit of over speeding, the radar detector is no pair for the laser guns of patrol troopers. Once a motorist finds out the presence of these electronic gadgets, it finds out too late since the laser gun wants only a fraction of a 2nd to record the automobiles speed. To evade detection, the radar detector must have a laser jammer to prevent the opposing laser gun from momentarily recording speed; thus, handing the driver time to slow down & cruise within the necessary speed limit.

Photo radars, red-light cameras & speed cameras are today widely used in major cities crosswise the United States. These systems have become favorite nowadays, since it is establish to be really useful in tracking down traffic violators. No effective tabulator gadget has thus far been designed to limit its effectuality leave out the license plate blanket spray that hinders traffic cameras from studying correctly the violators plate number. This is a new, extremely progressed applied science that actively blocks & bars and pubs any system that employs a flash photographic from taking a photo of the license plate. In the absence of solid evidence, traffic violators will not be charged.

AT&T reports Q2 results: revenue of $31.6 billion and 'best-ever' profit margins

AT&T announces Q2 results $316 billion, 51 million smartphones, bestever wireless margins

AT&T has announced Q2 revenue of $31.6 billion dollars with a ten percent increase in earnings year-over-year, "best-ever" (in other words, lowest) postpaid, prepaid and total wireless churn, and highest-ever wireless margins of 30.3 percent. The company sold 5.1 million smartphones, a drop from the 5.5 million it managed last quarter, but showed a 1.7 percent increase in consumer revenues compared to the same period last year.

What does it all mean? Lowest churn means that a smaller percentage of clients switched to other carriers than ever before, which the company says reflects the "premier experience" customers receive on its network. It's also increasing the total number of wireless subscribers, up 1.3 million for the quarter to a total of 105.2 million, including better margins from its 43 million smartphone users.

Earnings Preview: Merck & Co.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) ? Merck & Co., a Dow component, reports its second-quarter earnings before the stock market opens Friday. The drugmaker will stress that it has six experimental drugs wrapping up testing and other efforts under way to boost revenue and profit as it braces for competition from generics.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: CEO Kenneth Frazier will give a detailed update on Merck's strong pipeline of experimental drugs, which is crucial as generic competition looms for top seller Singulair, a pill for asthma and allergies.

Merck, the world's third-biggest drugmaker by revenue, now expects to apply for regulatory approval to sell six major new products between now and the end of 2013. That's up from the five expected just a few months ago, thanks to Merck's acquisition during the quarter of cancer drug developer Endocyte Inc.

Later this year Merck will apply for approval of suvorexant, a new type of insomnia drug with minimal morning grogginess. The other experimental medicines include osteoporosis drug odanacatib, cholesterol drug Tredaptive, ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer drug vintafolide, a drug to reverse the effects of anesthesia called Bridion and an improved version of Gardasil, Merck's blockbuster vaccine against cervical and other sexually transmitted cancers caused by human papilloma virus.

Frazier is sure to note that earlier this month the company decided to end a late-stage clinical trial of odanacatib because there was clear evidence that it reduced the risk of bone fractures in post-menopausal women with osteoporosis.

Merck's research program hit one big bump in June, though, when the Food and Drug Administration refused to approve ridaforolimus unless Merck conducts further testing. The drug is meant to suppress sarcoma ? a group of rare cancers occurring outside the body's organs ?in the bones and tissue of patients whose cancer is in remission. Analysts likely will ask Merck what its next move will be for the drug.

Analysts also may ask about the status of anacetrapib, a cholesterol drug in late-stage testing in the class called CETP inhibitors. That's because rival Roche Group had a drug in the same category, dalcetrapib, that failed in testing. A similar drug Pfizer Inc. was developing, torcetrapib, was scrapped five years ago due to safety problems. The class of drugs was seen as promising replacements to cholesterol blockbusters such as Lipitor and Zocor that now have generic competition.

Analysts may ask for updates on an Alzheimer's disease drug, MK-8931, in early patient testing. Interest in that field jumped after Pfizer Inc. said Monday that an Alzheimer's drug it's developing with Johnson & Johnson failed in one of four late-stage patient studies, although the other studies will continue.

Merck executives likely will discuss early sales trends for some recently approved drugs. Those are glaucoma treatment Zioptan, hepatitis C drug Victrellis and Janumet XR, an extended-release version of the combination Type 2 diabetes pill that's part of it blockbuster diabetes drug franchise.

Executives may also talk about an expected rebound in sales of Merck's shingles vaccines Zostavax. The company has finally resolved a five-year struggle over manufacturing problems and recently resumed running consumer ads for the shot. It prevents a painful condition caused by the chickenpox virus that many people have harbored since childhood.

CEO Frazier could mention a June deal with biotechnology company Ambrx Inc. to develop drugs using its delivery technology.

WHY IT MATTERS: On Aug. 3, Singulair's patent expires. Multiple generic versions of the asthma and allergy remedy will hit drugstores right away, and that will quickly reduce Singulair sales. Last year Singulair was the 11th-best-selling drug in the world with $5.5 billion in sales, more than 10 percent of Merck's $48 billion in total revenue.

Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., is hoping to overcome that financial hit with a combination of ongoing jobs and cost cuts, expanding sales in other countries, growing its animal health and consumer healthcare businesses and launches of new products as they get approved over the next couple years.

WHAT'S EXPECTED: Analysts polled by FactSet, on average, expect earnings per share of $1.01 and sales of $12.15 billion.

LAST YEAR'S QUARTER: Merck reported profit of $2.02 billion, or 65 cents per share, on revenue of $12.15 billion.

Loud sex can be deadly for flies

Flies may not scream out in ecstasy during sex, but they do create quite a buzz with their wings. And now researchers have found these mating moans can be heard by bats hungry for a meal.

The result: Wild Natterer's bats get a double-size meal of copulating flies; the mating flies, rather than offspring, get death.

In the study, detailed this week in the journal Current Biology, Stefan Greif from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany and colleagues found bats didn't seem to notice the flies walking on a ceiling or just sitting. That suggests there's something about mating sounds that outs the flies to bat predators.

  1. Science news from NBCNews.com

    1. Tale of the Elvis mouse: Why can't you be true?

      Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: A British artist?s plan to create a mouse with Elvis Presley?s DNA has set websites buzzing over the past week, but right now it?s no more than an art-show concept.

    2. Pesky germ inspires landmark 'virtual organism'
    3. Wet climate may have fueled Mongol invasion
    4. Search for dark matter particles turns up zilch

The researchers said this is one of very few studies to show that copulating animals are at a higher risk of being eaten by predators. Other examples include studies on amphipods, water striders and other aquatic insects, as well as land insects like the Australian plague locust.

In a cowshed in Marburg, Germany, the researchers video-recorded the movements of 9,000 houseflies over four years. Results showed the flies rarely fly at night, when they mainly sit or run on the ceiling; the faint, lower frequency, noise made by these movements, it seems, was drowned out by a strong background echo. [ The Animal Sex Quiz ]

"The faint insect echo [of non-mating flies] is fully overlapped and masked by massive echoes from the background," the researchers write.

When houseflies mate, the female spreads her wings while the male flutters on top of her, a fluttering that probably is responsible for his broadband clicklike sounds. The mating noise makes the fly pair "visible" to the bats. In the study, about 26 percent of fly pairs that were engaged in sex were attacked by bats ? and more than half of these were eaten.

To be sure the mating sounds really did lead bats to their fly meals, the researchers mounted dead (and, as such, noiseless) fly pairs in a typical sex-act position on the shed ceiling. Since these two flies together mean more surface area for sound to reflect off of compared with a single fly, the researchers wondered if this magnification was what drew in the bats. However, bats never attacked the dead flies; it was only when the researchers played back sex calls of the flies did the bats attempt to attack the loudspeakers.

Gordon to coach football at Blake

After a six-week search, Blake High promoted assistant football coach Darryl J. Gordon to the head position, Yellow Jackets athletic director Jesse Salters said on Monday.

Gordon is Blake's third head coach in less than a year. He replaces Micheal Burns, who resigned in early June. Burns stepped down after three months due to a difference of philosophies with Blake's administration over the direction of the program. Burns replaced Harry Hubbard, who was let go in December after compiling a 9-21 record.

Despite the turnover, Salters believes Gordon was right for the job all along. Salters said Gordon has a good understanding of Blake's needs, has a good relationship with the returning players and owns strong ties to the community. Salters said the main reason Gordon originally did not apply for the job was out of loyalty to Hubbard, whom Gordon also coached with at Jefferson and Plant under Darlee Nelson.

"To show you how dedicated he is to Blake, I asked him to look after the football program over the summer and with him, we haven't missed a beat,'' Salters said. "We've played in three 7-on-7 tournaments and have kept up with our conditioning at school. He didn't have to do that but that's how strongly he feels about the kids and this program."

Gordon, a Plant alum, will not be teaching at Blake. He is a manager for a cigar company in Ybor City. But he said his job affords him a schedule flexible enough to accept his first head coaching position. He said being a head coach "never really dawned on me" until he saw the need Blake had for one this summer.

Plant volleyball coach resigns

After one season leading the Plant volleyball program, Amy Rumore stepped down to take a teaching position in Naples, Panthers principal Rob Nelson announced.

Rumore took over as the Panthers head coach in May 2011 and led the Panthers to the Class 8A-Region 2 final, where they lost to rival Palm Harbor University. Before the 2011 season, Plant had won five consecutive state titles and 10 overall.

Rumore, who was a standout for the University of Tampa, was part of that dominating run by Plant both as a player and assistant coach.

Tampa Catholic officials punished

After violating a rule governing who at the school can offer financial aid to students, Tampa Catholic received an official reprimand from the Florida High School Athletic Association.

In addition, Tampa Catholic principal Tom Reidy, athletic director Freddie Langiotti, football coach Bob Henriquez and assistant football coach David Lewis must attend an FHSAA compliance seminar this year.

The violation stems from an offer made last year by Lewis via text messages to the parent of a former TC football player who had just completed his freshman season. The messages discuss the possible acquisition of $2,000 in financial aid for the player during the 2011-12 school year.

Tampa Catholic self-reported the violation to the FHSAA this year. Following an internal investigation by TC officials, the parent of the player claims the money never materialized. As a result, the parents withdrew their son from TC, as well as their daughter, who enrolled as an incoming freshman.

FHSAA rules governing financial assistance prohibit athletic staff or coaches from "playing any role in the process of deciding which students receive financial assistance or the types or amount of assistance they will be given."

The 4th Congressional District Forum | MassPoliticsProfs

?The Martin Institute at Stonehill will be hosting a two primary election forums for the candidates in the 4th congressional district.

The August 14 forum will begin at 6:00 with Democratic candidates Rachel Brown, Joe Kennedy, and Herb Robinson.

At 8:00 we will host Republicans Sean Bielat, Elizabeth Childs, and David Steinhof. ?Both forums will be moderated by the associate publisher and editor of The Herald News and Taunton Daily Gazette, Lisa Strattan. ?On the panel asking questions of the candidates will be Sean Kelly from WCVB, Adam Reilly from WGBH and reporters from The Herald News and Wicked Local.

I am particularly proud that the Martin Institute is hosting this forum and a general election forum in the fall. ?Easton was a last minute addition into the newly created 4th District and we join North Attleboro, the hometown of our namesake, Joseph W. Martin. ?Having the place of his birth and early life in the same district as the institution dedicated to preserving his memory would have been pleased Mr. Martin.

Martin was also a newspaperman who served as managing editor and publisher of the North Attleboro Evening Chronicle, the paper he delivered as a young man. ?The paper merged with the Attleboro Sun in 1971. ? When Martin was elected to Congress in 1924, he served in the 15th District in an overwhelmingly Republican state.

He lost a renomination fight to the liberal Republican Margaret Heckler in 1966 in the then 10th district in a state that became overwhelmingly Democratic. ?She?d lose in a redistricting fight to Barney Frank in 1982 and would go on to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services. ?Frank?s retirement this year has opened it up the storied seat.

The forum is open to the public and members of the press. ?For tickets or credentials, please call 508.565.1131.

?

Peter Ubertaccio is the Director of Joseph Martin Institute for Law & Society at Stonehill College in Easton and Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science & International Studies.
