Sixteen Pound Big Baby Born in Texas [PHOTOS]

A mother named Janet Johnson gave birth to a whopping 16 pounds and one ounce baby in Texas.
This is Johnson's fourth child, but the couple's first together.
The baby named, JaMichael Brown, was born on Friday with the weight of double the average new born baby.
Brown was the heaviest baby born ever at Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, and also the biggest newborn baby in the Lone Star State.
Baby Jamichael is 24-inches long, has a 17-inch chest, and a full head of hair.
The baby was born through Caesarean delivery. Doctors thought the baby would be at most between 12 and 13 pounds.
"He was much larger than expected," said Kirk, explaining how JaMichael was the largest baby he had ever delivered.
The hospital opened since 1938 and last year delivered almost 2,900 babies.

People with eating disorders likely to die earlier, study shows

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Anorexia increases apatient's risk of death fivefold, and people with bulimia or another nonspecified eating disorder also face an increased risk of death -- about twice as likely to die as people without those disorders, a study said.
The cause of deaths wasn't always clear, but among anorexics who died, one in five was a suicide. The other deaths were attributed to theeating disorders' brutal effects on the body over time, researchers wrote in Archives of General Psychiatry.
"Of course, eating disorders have serious physical consequences," said lead author Jon Arcelus, of Loughborough University in the UK.
"The study could not identify how people died, but there is no doubt that the reasons behind this are related to the physical problems of the illness," he told Reuters Health in an email.
His group carried out a meta-analysis of 36 studies published between 1966 and 2010, which included 17,000 people with an eating disorder of whom 755 died.

Tiger Woods to make announcement on TV

Fourteen-time major champion Tiger Woods is set to make a "special announcement" Monday on the Golf Channel, but details on what he will be addressing are a mystery.
The 35-year-old announced last week that he was pulling out of this week's British Open as he continues to recover from knee and Achilles injuries, and the unknown nature of this latest address sparked speculation across the web that he would be taking an extended break from the game.
There was even some suggestion that he may retire, although Woods only said last week, "I think my best years are still ahead of me and I'm very confident and optimistic about the future."
Woods has been out of action since the middle of May after pulling out of the Players Championship with a mild medial collateral ligament sprain to his left knee and a mild strain to his left Achilles tendon, suffered while hitting a shot from under a tree at the Masters in April.
The three-time British Open champion said last week that he would be more careful and take his time in coming back this year so as to fully get over his injuries.

Victoria, David Beckham Name Daughter Harper Seven

David Beckham announced his facebook page:

David and Victoria Beckham welcome their first baby girl to their family
David and Victoria Beckham, who already have three sons, welcomed their first daughter into the world on Sunday morning, and have decided to name her Harper Seven Beckham.
David confirmed the news on his Facebook page, after he and wife Victoria welcomed the baby, who weighed 7lb 10oz, reports the Daily Mail.
The footballer wrote: "I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.
"Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx".
The Seven in the name is believed to be a reference to David's football number when he played for Manchester United and England, while the Harper could be referring to Harper's Bazaar magazine or perhaps To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee.
A close friend of the couple said: 'Harper is an old English name something Victoria has always liked. Seven is a very lucky happy number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month.'
The child was born by elected Caesarean, in the same way as her older children.
And a source told The Sun that David was so happy about the new arrival that he was literally crying with joy.
The insider said: "David has been crying with joy. They are all so happy."

CASEY ANTHONY MURDER DIARY "CONFESSION" REVEALED

Casey Anthony has "confessed" to killing her daughter Caylee, a source has exclusively told The ENQUIRER.

In a search of Casey's home, cops found a shocking "diary of death" in which the murder-mom basically admits to killing her angel-faced daughter, sources have told The ENQUIRER.

And the detailed handwritten diary written by Casey in the days immediately before and after the toddler's death is so damning that prosecutors could reconsider seeking the death penalty, sources told The ENQUIRER.

In the diary, sources tell The ENQUIRER, twisted Casey spelled out her evil intentions and said she planned to murder her daughter as a "mercy killing" to keep her out of the hands of her mother, Cindy. Police believe the night before Caylee died, Casey and her mother had a vicious fight, and Cindy swore that she would take the little girl away from Casey for good.

"Casey snapped," a source told The ENQUIRER. "In her sick mind, she became convinced that Caylee would be better off dead, in heaven, than in the hands of her mother."

Authorities recently released 650 pages of evidence, including one page of a diary in which Casey wrote: "I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay. I completely trust my own judgment. I know that I made the right decision."

Casey Anthony Facebook ‘Confession’ Scam

Casey Anthony, America’s most notorious pariah is being used as a Facebook scam, the warning from PC World:

If you see a post on Facebook about a Casey Anthony confession, or a link to download the video chat app, run away. These two new Facebook scams demonstrate why the social network is such fertile ground for attackers to target.

Malware attacks frequently use social engineering to spread and current events as bait. With the recent unveiling of Facebook’s partnership with Skype to deliver video chat from within the social network, and the public outrage over the acquittal of Casey Anthony, attackers have the key ingredients they need to dupe victims into installing malware.

Did Casey Anthony ‘confess’ to her attorneys?

The answer may lie in Jose Baez’ opening statement during the Casey Anthony trial, a claim made by Baez which should have raised red flags with the jury.

From Casey Anthony Trial: Defense Throws Casey’s Father Under the Bus:

Jose Baez:

‘On June 16th 2008, Casey was home with Caylee and so was her father. Early morning hours, the exact time is not known, it could have been Early afternoon, Early morning, actually it was Early morning hours, George Anthony approached Casey and starting yelling at her ‘Where’s Caylee? Where’s Caylee?’

‘The exact time is not known’, the first red flag. The second red flag: Baez waffled on the time frame of Caylee Anthony’s ‘accidental drowning’, ‘it could have been early afternoon, early morning, actually it was early morning hours.’

Those who have tragically lost a child by way of an accident, illness, or a crime have the uncanny ability to recall the exact time their precious child died, went missing, or was murdered.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the three felonies related to Caylee Anthony’s death on July 5, 2011. Casey Anthony is set to be released from the Orange County Jail on July 17, 2011. After the acquittal verdict from the jury Casey Anthony has not issued a statement about her daughter’s death via the County Jail or her attorneys. It’s a sure bet behind the scenes major news media outlets are vying for Casey Anthony’s first interview after being released from jail. It’s also another sure bet, if Casey gives a (paid) interview she won’t ‘confess’. The interview, Casey’s first opportunity to put yet another ‘spin’ on what happened to Caylee Anthony in June of 2008. Or, Casey Anthony may wait to tell her ‘story’ in a book, a la OJ Simpson.
