News & Events - October 2007

as an Englishman and owner of many major US based companies I feel I must ask this.
I have noticed that many people using this site have become very childish.It has become tit for tat and quite frankly I am bored with it.
I own nearly 40,000 Americans and I am one of the worlds richest business magnates-should i have to put up with this?.

Enviromentalists have fought brush clearing and other infrastructure improvements to California. Their myopic opposition to physical improvements to help people is responsible for much of the damage. Don't try to point the finger elsewhere, this calls for a major mea culpa!

The tabloids said today that during the interview on ITN last night Kate McCann broke down crying. I watched the interview and she was very emotional but I didn't see her cry and i am not being nasty just fed up with exagerated tabloid stories

Is all of your media sources so gossipy?
My goodness, looking at various newspapers online, they seem to be as gossipy as the old hens at the beauty salon.

No wonder the McCann's are being beaten so badly.

We have newspapers like that here in the states (we call them tabloids) too but they are easily identifiable and people who do read them will never admit to it.

I've learned one thing from Maddy's story, never visit Portugal!
The laws are just crazy. Not being able to speak publically about accusations made about you! How insane!

I am glad I live in American where I can speak my mind and defend myself.

On the official Find Madeleine website, the Crimestoppers and Portuguese police telephone numbers have been removed from the front page and replaced with the new hotline number.

Is this the right thing to be doing in order to receive information about Madeleine.

Your thoughts....

Isn't it weird how we allow people to live in gutters yet we are treating pets like people?

SEE THIS REPORT BELOW

These pets, especially cats and dogs, are also increasingly considered to be an essential part of a family, with U.S. pet owners spending more time and money (estimated at nearly $41 billion in 2007) on the health and happiness of their pets in recent years. Things that would once have seemed extravagant—doggy daycares, pet cemeteries, and an expanding array of pet surgeries and treatments—are now as common as, well, the family dog.

I can not get my head around why these two small boys were out alone, in the dark, running through a small forest to get to a motorway, which they attempted to run across. What a tragedy.

I am pretty sure they were warned not to go near a motorway, and I don't suppose the parents knew they were going to attempt to run across, but you should not let kids of that age roam around it the daylight on their own!


Please note that although I am circling the neglect issue of the above case, this is not a McCann question.

Kate McCann thinks Madeleine is being held somewhere in someone's house - why no plea to the abductor?

Was this interview just more spin to draw attention away from the fact that the PJ inspectors are ready to touch down in the UK.

Why on earth would you go to the trouble of telling the world how hard it is for you being without your daughter, yet NOT ask the person who has her to GIVE HER BACK?

Don't you think this is a wasted opportunity??

A police helicopter and dog squad officers are searching for a toddler who went missing from her Sydney home today.

Rahma el-Dennaoui, aged 19 months, was last seen by her parents asleep in her bedroom with her five sisters in Hill Road, Lurnea.

Her parents say she was wearing pink satin Barbie pyjamas.

Police say they found a rip in the fly-screen on the bedroom window but are unable to say how Rahma got out.

The family raised the alarm around 0900 AEDT after searching for her for an hour, say police.

Rahma is of Middle Eastern appearance with brown eyes and blonde, shoulder length hair. She is between 80 and 100 centimetres tall.

Police say they are treating the disappearance very seriously and officers from Liverpool LAC, Vikings Unit, Dog Squad , Polair and State Crime Command have been called in.

Any person with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or

An evolutionary theorist at the London School of Economics is predicting that as people become more picky about who they have children with a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass will begin to emerge around the year 3000. He says the outcome would be two sub-species, "gracile" and "robust" humans similar to the Eloi and Morlocks foretold by HG Wells in his 1895 novel The Time Machine.

"McCann family reverse story over break-in 'evidence' -- Irish Independent

THE spokesman for the family of Madeleine McCann has reversed a statement made in the early days of the search for the missing child.

Speaking to RTE's 'Prime Time', Clarence Mitchell said she could "easily" have been kidnapped by an abductor who did not leave the trail of a break-in.

However, in the early part of the hunt, friends and family members told journalists that the shutter on the apartment where the McCanns were staying had been broken."

Is this all spin in full steam ahead.

We all know those shutters were JEMMIED - it's become part of everybody's vocabulary.

Now the shutters weren't jemmied - what is going on?

People seem to be having a better time of it in Qualcomm, as opposed to the Superdome.

Is it organization? More resources?
