Murderer Of Model Found Dead
Video: Murder Suspect Found Dead in Canada Motel - The Associated Press
"Megan Wants A Millionaire" reality TV star, Ryan Jenkins, 32, was found dead in a motel room yesterday, after an APB was put out for his arrest, in the murder and mutilation of his wife, Playboy model, Jessica Fiore, 28.
His body was found hanging in a motel room in Vancouver, Canada, with authorities attributing his death to suicide.
Police: Reality TV star found dead
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A reality show contestant wanted for murder in the gruesome death of his ex-wife was found dead Sunday of an apparent suicide after hanging himself in a secluded Canadian motel, authorities said.
Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit said police responded to a call from hotel staff about about a dead person in Hope, east of Vancouver, and then called investigators who were part of the massive manhunt for Jenkins.
The real estate developer and investor was wanted in California on first-degree murder charges after the mutilated body of Jasmine Fiore was found in a trash bin in Buena Park, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles.
Jenkins apparently hanged himself, said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney's Office in California, which is contact with Canadian police.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are "now able to confirm that a deceased person that was found in a motel in Hope, British Columbia is, in fact, Ryan Jenkins," Pound said...
Propofol Killed Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson
Lethal doses of the drug Propofol, killed singer Michael Jackson, when it was improperly dispensed outside of a hospital setting, without the expertise of an anesthesia technician.
In a practice this Column has slammed in the past, Jackson was given Propofol and a host of other sedatives, hours apart. It is very difficult for the human body to survive such toxicity, when so many elements of potent drug compositions, besiege the bloodstream and cells.
The day he died, Jackson repeatedly complained of insomnia, demanding more and more sedatives. It is clear, the issues that plagued him, creating the sleeplessness, were not properly addressed by the right psychologists and physicians.
There is no necessity to ever medicate a patient to the extremes Jackson was treated. It was very unwise to believe someone's system could survive that chemical onslaught.
Jackson's last doctors, Dr. Conrad Murray and Dr. Arnold Klein are under active investigation, with a stream of misconduct by the two, continually being uncovered. Dr. Murray is facing the greatest scrutiny, as the physician that administered the fatal dose.
The two men should not be medical doctors under the circumstances, as the mere fact they thought this was an appropriate course of treatment, to appease a pop star that wanted what he should not have, says their judgment is very poor and it poses a risk to the general public.
Pharmaceutical drugs are not candy, to be gobbled up, with the most you will take away from it being a belly ache and cavities. There is an exact science to it and I can't fathom how men that went to medical school did not know better. In short, it was reckless.
Their conduct is the scientific equivalent of a scientist taking home batches of controlled nuclear substances to play around with in their kitchen. You just don't do that, as the risks are too great and deadly.
AP Source: Coroner rules Jackson's death homicide
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide and a combination of drugs was the cause, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died...
Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson's personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.
A search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston includes a detailed account of what Murray told investigators.
According to the document, Murray said he'd been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip. But he said he feared Jackson was forming an addiction to the anesthetic, which is normally used in hospitals only, and was attempting to wean his patient by lowering the dose to 25 milligrams and adding the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam...
Then around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tab of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2 a.m., two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. respectively. But they didn't work.
Murray told detectives that around 10:40 a.m. he gave in to Jackson's "repeated demands/requests" for propofol, which the singer referred to as his "milk." He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid, — a relatively small dose — and finally, Jackson fell asleep.
Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom. No more than two minutes later, he returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing.
"There's no surprise there" that death could result from such a combination, said Dr. David Zvara, anesthesia chairman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"All those drugs act in synergy with each other," Zvara said. Adding propofol on top of all the other sedatives "tipped the balance."
Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death, the official told the AP.
When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly emaciated, and his body had bed sores, the official said. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed...
Cantrell said it's perplexing that someone would give various benzodiazepines if one was found not to be effective.
"This is horrible polypharmacy," he said, referring to the interaction between the various drugs. "No one will treat an insomniac like this."...
Usain Bolt Given A Piece Of The Berlin Wall
Usain Bolt
The city of Berlin, Germany honored Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, with a piece of the Berlin Wall, adorned with a mural of himself for illustrating, "One can tear down walls that had been considered insurmountable." That was a very gracious and kind gift from the city of Berlin.
Bolt gets a piece of Berlin for 'tearing down walls'
August 24, 2009 - BERLIN: Usain Bolt was honoured by the city of Berlin by receiving an original segment of the Berlin Wall.
The Jamaican sprinter, who broke world records in the 100m and 200m at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin last week, was given the chunk of wall at a ceremony on the final day of the world championships yesterday.
The 3.6m high, 2.7 metric tons section will have to be specially delivered to Bolt's training camp in Jamaica. The piece of the wall, which divided communist East Berlin from West Berlin between 1961 and 1989, is decorated with a life-size painting of Bolt running on the blue track of Berlin's Olympic stadium and the words "NEW WR" - new world record.
The mascot of the event is called Berlino, while the phrase "ich bin ein Berliner" was famously used by former US president John F Kennedy in 1963.

Megan Fox v. Kristen Stewart
No Rivalry Between Megan Fox And Kristen Stewart
Megan Fox
A publicist for actress Megan Fox (she has a publicist and says all that stuff anyway?) stated there is no rivalry between she and fellow star, Kristen Stewart over her co-star, "Twilight" actor, Robert Pattinson.
Robert Pattinson
It was stated, Fox previously had a fling with Pattinson. He also stared at her smirking during the Teen Choice Awards this month:
In other news, Megan Fox stated her strict Christian upbringing made her the bimbo she is today, causing her to cut loose. Oh please! Emulating Angelina Jolie's every move made you the bimbo you are today.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in "Twilight"
While some churches do make up their own rules, a practice theologians refer to as "legalism" - Megan, you can read the Bible for yourself and tell right from wrong.
God doesn't want you to live in sin with actor Brian Austin Green, get tattoos, get drunk and high, as it is risky, destructive conduct.
How is killing your brain cells, destroying your liver and being stoned all the time, profitable to your health. How is living with a man you do not love, who is using you for sex, without any commitment to you, good for your emotional health.

Model Sues Google For Releasing Identity
A model, Liskula Cohen, sued Google to obtain the information of an anonymous blogger that badmouthed her online, calling her a "skank" who didn't care about her hygiene.
A skank? No!
Google, complying with the court order, released the name of the blogger behind “Skanks of NYC." It turned out to be another model, Rosemary Port, who was angry with Liskula Cohen, for telling her boyfriend stories about her, she alleges to be untrue. Retract the claws ladies.
Rosemary Port
Rosemary Port, is now suing Google for $15,000,000 for outing her. Under the "terms of service" one agrees to when starting a blog with just about any company, it is disclosed they can turn your information over under court order.
You really would have no legal grounds to sue Google or any other companies in their genre, for outing you under such circumstances, as they are shielded under specific laws governing the internet and you did not prove your comments were truthful and not defamatory, as alleged.
You did not demonstrate they violated your civil rights in any manner, by discriminating against you or inappropriately denying you access to services other citizens are entitled to under the law.
You were accused of defaming someone. Your first hurdle was to actually prove you did not defame Liskula Cohen. But you have not demonstrated that.
Once again, why would Google or any other company defy a court order under such circumstances, to protect your identity, because you didn't have the guts to publicly state your incendiary views on another model.
Free Speech and Freedom of the Press cover a number of things. However, if you actually defame someone, you can be sued in civil court. The Constitution does not indemnify you from defamation suits.
