Police said Phillip Garrido, 58, held her the entire time as a virtual slave, sheltered from the outside world in tents, sheds and outbuildings in the backyard of his home in suburban Antioch.
"None of the children have ever been to school, they've never been to a doctor," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said at a news conference. "They were kept in complete isolation in this compound, if you will."
There was electricity from electrical cords, rudimentary outhouse, rudimentary shower, "as if you were camping," Kollar said.
The case began to unravel on Tuesday when Garrido, a registered sex offender, was seen with two children on the Berkeley campus of the University of California, Kollar said.
A state parole agent asked Garrido to come in the next day for questioning.
Garrido showed up at the parole office in Concord with two adult women and two children. The parole agent...

The world's top cellphone maker Nokia said on Monday it would start to make laptops, entering a fiercely competitive but fast-growing market with a netbook running Microsoft's Windows operating system.Nokia had earlier this year said it was considering entering the laptop industry, crossing the border between two converging industries in the opposite direction to Apple, which entered the phone industry in 2007 with the iPhone."We are fully aware what has the margin level been in the PC world. We have gone into this with our eyes wide open," Kai Oistamo, the head of Nokia's phone unit, told Reuters."There's really an opportunity to bring fresh perspective to the PC world," he said, adding that Nokia would introduce extended battery life and continuous connectivity.Nokia has produced PCs before, but divested the unit in 1991 when it started to focus on the mobile phone...

Imelda Marcos Marcos expressed her long-time desire to have a state funeral for her husband, the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos, who died back in 1991.

I am a big fan of Michael Jackson and hated when media called him, Jacko and other things,It is sad that he is gone, but he made many in billion of people happy.It's funny that I did not know Michael until late 1990 or very early 1991.I was where there is not much interest in english songs, until that I moved to town than to LONDON, UK, June 1991.I like everything about Michael Jackson, the way he dance and his songs, some people that I worked with back in 2003, said that Michael is going to Jail, but I told than we will see, I know there is no way that he will go to jail and he did not.Human race accused Jesus as a bad man and killed him, as for Michael they tried to finish him off, but fail?Did he die or did he murdered?By RAJ[ AGENT TIA]

So, here is my thought. I was watching the news today which I do not do that often because I get to upset from it. I wanted to make this a discussion to see what you're thoughts are on it. I'm trying to figure out how some people think ( mostly economist) think that the recession is over and that just because we get one good quarter means that it's only healthy to say that the next 6 or 7 quarters are going to be that healthy with the unemployment rate from lower than 5% in 2000 to higher than 9% now. Yes more and more are spending money but its only because they have been saving what little they have to pay bills for the next month. Things still have to paid, houses still have to have there mortgage paid. a car payment or insurance has to be paid to keep the over all cost of future occurrence of something bad happening down to a minimum. How can we say that the recession is over when...
I heard this yesterday! I was very shocked! This guys have been together for 20 years! Wow! Most duos today are lucky to stay together for one album and one tour! Yikes! I have been a big fan of Brooks and Dunn since"Brand New Man" came out! I think it was 1991! Anyway I know this isn't going to happen until next year but when it doesn happen I'll be sad! Brooks and Dunn are the best duo ever to be in country music!
