After a Dallas mother gave birth to twin boys, her husband was confused. The boys, born only seven minutes apart, looked very different. So, the family got a paternity test—and the results were shocking. The twin boys have two different fathers. Mia, the mother, admitted to her partner James that she had cheated on him with another man. The result was that two released eggs were fertilized by two men’s sperm, as sperm can stay viable for five days in the reproductive tract. Though the couple has moved on and James says he loves both boys, the occurrence has gotten nationwide attention thanks to its one in a million odds.

Richard Ramirez Died Friday morning of natural causes at Marin General Hospital
June 08, 2013
Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker" serial killer who terrorized California with a series of break-in murders in the 1980s, has died, state corrections officials confirmed to the Times.
Ramirez was 53. He died Friday morning of natural causes at Marin General Hospital, state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman said. Ramirez was serving time on Death Row at San Quentin.
http://us.cnn.com/2013/06/07/justice/california-night-stalker-ramirez-dead/index.html?hpt=hp_inthenews
In most of the cases, Ramirez entered homes in the early morning hours through open windows or doors.
Some of the victims were found strangled, others had their throats slashed, but most had been fatally shot.
Spray-painted pentagrams -- a distinctive Satanist symbol -- were also found on the walls of the some of victims' homes.
Ramirez's killing rampage finally ended on Aug. 31, 1985, when he was captured and beaten by angry citizens in East Los Angeles after he tried to steal a woman's car.
On Sept. 20, 1989, Ramirez was convicted by a Los Angeles jury of 13 slayings. The following month, the jury voted for the death penalty.
Richard Ramirez, the demonic serial killer known as the Night Stalker who left satanic signs at murder scenes and mutilated victims' bodies during a reign of terror in the 1980s, died early Friday in a hospital, a prison official said.
Ramirez, 53, had been taken from San Quentin's death row to a hospital where authorities said he died of liver failure. Prison officials said they could not release further details on the cause of death, citing federal patient privacy laws.
Ramirez had been housed on death row for decades and was awaiting execution, even though it has been years since anyone has been put to death in California.
At his first court appearance, Ramirez raised a hand with a pentagram drawn on it and yelled, "Hail, Satan."
His marathon trial, which ended in 1989, was a horror show in which jurors heard about one dead victim's eyes being gouged out and another's head being nearly severed. Courtroom observers wept when survivors of some of the attacks testified.
Ramirez was convicted of 13 murders that terrorized Southern California in 1984 and 1985 as well as charges of rape, sodomy, oral copulation, burglary and attempted murder.
The killing spree reached its peak in the hot summer of 1985, as the nocturnal killer entered homes through unlocked windows and doors and killed men and women with gunshot blasts to the head or knives to the throat, sexually assaulted female victims, and burglarized the residences.
He was dubbed the Night Stalker by the press while residents were warned to lock their doors and windows at night.
Some of the crimes were grisly beyond imagining: A man was murdered in his bed and his wife was raped beside the dead body. The killer beat a small child and attempted to sodomize him.
There were also signs of devil worship — a pentagram drawn on the wall at one murder scene and survivors' accounts of being ordered to "swear to Satan " by the killer.
Ramirez was finally chased down and beaten in 1985 by residents of a blue-collar East Los Angeles neighborhood as he attempted a carjacking. They recognized him after his picture appeared that day in the news media.
The trial of Ramirez took a year, but the entire case — bogged down in pretrial motions and appeals — lasted four years, making it one of the longest criminal cases in U.S. history.
Because of the notoriety, more than 1,600 prospective jurors were called.
The trial was almost aborted in its final stages when a woman juror was murdered during deliberations. Jurors were 13 days into talks when the juror failed to appear one morning. She was found beaten and shot to death at the home she shared with her boyfriend. The next day, the man committed suicide and left a note saying he killed her in an argument.
Jurors wept when they learned of the tragedy, and Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Tynan was faced with one of his most trying legal challenges. Lawyers said there were no legal precedents for the situation.
Defense attorneys argued the jurors were too distraught to resume their talks and noted the murder was similar to the gruesome attacks attributed to the Night Stalker.
Tynan decided to move forward. "We must get on with the task life has given us," he told jurors, ordering them to begin deliberations with an alternate juror.
Jurors later said the death of the juror did not influence their decision.
Tynan said Friday, "The Richard Ramirez case was the most difficult trial I ever handled. It was an experience I will never forget, and I'm glad the ordeal is over."
After the conviction, Ramirez flashed a two-fingered "devil sign" to photographers and muttered a single word: "Evil."
On his way to a jail bus, he sneered in reaction to the verdict, muttering: "Big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in Disneyland."
The black-clad killer, unrepentant to the end, made his comment in an underground garage after the jury recommended the death penalty for his gruesome crimes.
Inexplicably, Ramirez, a native of El Paso, Texas, had a following of young women admirers who came to the courtroom regularly and sent him love notes.
Some visited him in prison, and in 1996 Ramirez was married to 41-year-old freelance magazine editor Doreen Lioy in a visiting room at San Quentin prison.
Relatives called Lioy a recluse who lived in a fantasy world.
Her whereabouts could not be determined on Friday. She was not listed as Ramirez's next of kin, prison spokesman Samuel Robinson said in an email.
"His blood relatives are listed as the next of kin," Robinson said.
In 2006, the California Supreme Court upheld Ramirez's convictions and death sentence. The U.S. Supreme Court refused in 2007 to review the convictions and sentence. Ramirez still had appeals pending when he died.
His lawyers claimed the case should have been moved out of Los Angeles and said Ramirez was incompetent to stand trial.
Two years after his arrest, San Francisco police said DNA linked Ramirez to the April 10, 1984, killing of 9-year-old Mei Leung. She was killed in the basement of a residential hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood where she lived with her family.
Ramirez had been staying at nearby hotels.
Ramirez previously was tied to killings in Northern California. He was charged in the shooting deaths of Peter Pan, 66, and his wife, Barbara, in 1985 just before his arrest in Los Angeles, but he was never tried in that case.
___
"I am beyond good and evil. I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells in us all."
"That's it."
Richard Ramirez was 29 when he spoke those words in a Southern California courtroom in 1989. He'd just been sentenced to death following his conviction for 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries.
A serial murderer, a serial rapist, a Satan worshiper, a man who inflicted physical and emotional pain on his victims in myriad ways. Richard Ramirez was all those things, but to Californians terrorized during his violent spree in the spring and summer of 1985, he was simply the "Night Stalker."
The vengeance that Ramirez promised apparently never came to fruition. Neither did the state's plan to execute him.
Instead, on Friday morning, Richard Ramirez died of natural causes at Marin General Hospital north of San Francisco, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Ramirez became the 59th inmate in the state to die in this manner while awaiting execution, not including 22 who committed suicide and six dead of other causes.
He was 53.
Guns, knives, fists and fear
So how did the "Night Stalker" come to be?
Ramirez was born to a large family in El Paso, Texas. He was in his late teens when he landed in Southern California in the 1970s.
Media reports indicated that he had a history of drug use, some arrests on relatively minor charges, and no evident purpose in life over his first few decades.
But some time in the mid-1980s, things turned drastically.
It was then that horrific tales began to surface of a man breaking into homes, mostly in Southern California, in the wee hours of the morning.
On several occasions, a man who happened to be inside was killed quickly. A female might be raped, sometimes more than once. Then the man who'd become known as the "Night Stalker" would ransack the home looking for valuables.
There were gory exceptions to this scenario. Like 30-year-old student Tsai-Lian Yu, found lying bloody on the ground near her running car in Monterey Park, California, according to media reports. There was also the 41-year-old woman bound and raped, as her 12-year-old son was handcuffed and locked in a closet.
While some victims were in their 60s and older, others were in their 20s and 30s. There were reports of pentagrams being scrawled at crime scenes, as well as snippets from heavy metal songs.
The killing weapons varied: guns, knives, fists. All were used with evident malice, and all contributed to the fear and frenzy that gripped the region.
Some victims survived -- in some cases without the assailant's apparent knowledge, in others seemingly spared for whatever reason -- and then talked to police. Yet authorities were still grasping for clues in August 1985, when a manager at a hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin district recognized descriptions of the suspect as a man who'd stayed at his hotel periodically for a year and a half.
By then, Ramirez had already left the Bay Area for Southern California. He attacked again on August 24 in Los Angeles. After a bus trip to Tucson, Arizona -- where he'd been visiting his brother -- he was finally recognized at a store near a downtown L.A. bus station after his image had been splashed across newspapers.
Ramirez fled. Residents of an east Los Angeles neighborhood, though, spotted him trying to steal two cars, caught and subdued him, then held him down until police arrived.
'It's just pure evil'
After years of delays, Ramirez's case went to trial in 1989. The whole prosecution cost Los Angeles County more than $1.8 million, a record amount that stood until O.J. Simpson's murder trial years later.
As horrific and dramatic as the allegations against him, Ramirez's antics during the proceedings added to the intrigue -- like when he'd draw a pentagram on his hand and yell out, "Hail Satan."
The jury convicted him of 11 murders in Southern California and two others in the San Francisco area.
A death sentence followed. According to the Los Angeles Times, Superior Court Judge Michael Tynan said Ramirez, during his bloody spree, had displayed "cruelty, callousness and viciousness beyond any human understanding."
The rest of his life was spent at the home for many of California's most dangerous felons -- San Quentin State Prison, which sits like a fortress along the bay just north of San Francisco.
Even on Death Row, alongside the likes of Scott Peterson and the Menendez brothers, it hasn't been an entirely lonely existence for Ramirez. One woman who sat through his trial, thinking he was innocent, then wrote him dozens of letters and visited him in prison. It was there, in 1996, that the two married.
"He's kind, he's funny, he's charming," the convicted serial killer's wife, Doreen Ramirez, told CNN one year later. "I think he's a really great person. He's my best friend; he's my buddy."
That's not the impression of millions in Los Angeles County who'd been terrified by him, and especially those who survived his attacks or are related to those killed.
They are people like Peter Zazzara, whose parents were among those slain. He couldn't stomach sitting through Ramirez's trial, and even talking to CNN years later in 2006, he couldn't make sense of what happened.
"It's just evil. It's just pure evil," said Zazzara. "I don't know why somebody would want to do something like that. To take joy in the way it happened."

Recipe for philly steak and cheese like you find in restraunts and fast food places.?
Answers (3)
- Answerer 1Rib Eye steak.
Freeze it a bit.
Slice very thin.
You might even want to see if the meat counter at the store can do this. Tell them what you are making.
A variety of cheese is used depending on what you want.
Cheese Whiz is one option, American, Mozzarella others so what ever you want as far as cheese goes.
Sliced onions, very thin.
Heat the griddle.
Lay onions on griddle.
Lay the meat on on the griddle.
Flip meat over.
Lay cheese on meat.
Lay bun on cheese.
Slide spatula under everything and flip.
Close bun over meat and cheese.
If you use the soft Cheese Whiz just slather that on the bun.
Oh, don't forget to season meat, salt, pepper. - Answerer 2The key is to use ribeye steak sliced paper thin. This is easier to do if the meat is partially frozen. The traditional cheese is Cheese Whiz, but you can use provolone or jack. Start out by sauteing some sliced onions and bell peppers in butter until they start to brown. Set those aside. Put the meat into the pan and brown it up on both sides (make sure to get rid of all the pink). Season with salt and pepper. Granulated garlic is good, too. Top this with a couple slices of cheese, put a couple tablespoons of water into the pan, and cover it for about a minute. The steam completely melts the cheese. Slide this out onto a toasted steak roll and top with the onions/peppers.
- Answerer 3ingredients
6 tablespoons Soya bean oil
1 large onion, sliced
24 ounces sliced rib eye or eye roll steak
Cheese (store processed recommended); American or Provolone
4 crusty Italian Rolls
Sweet green and red peppers, sauteed in oil (optional)
Mushrooms sauteed in oil (optional)
Ketchup
Directions
Heat an iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of oil to the pan and saute the onions to desired doneness. Remove the onions and add the remaining oil and saute the slices of meat quickly on both sides. Melt the cheez whiz in a double boiler or in the microwave. Place 8 ounces of the meat into the rolls, add onions, and pour the store-processed cheese over top. Garnish with sweet peppers, mushrooms, ketchup.

Bollywood starlet Jiah Khan found dead at Mumbai home at 25
Bollywood beauty suicide: Jiah Khan dead at 25
Bollywood starlet Jiah Khan found dead at Mumbai home
June 4, 2013, 8:34 AM EST
Khan, 25, was found by her mother hanged in her room on Monday night. A post mortem is to be carried out to establish the cause of death, a Mumbai police official said.
But a police source said the death was not being treated as suspicious as it appeared to be suicide, although no suicide note was found.
He said police had questioned Suraj Pancholi, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, to whom Khan had made her last phone call.
Khan, whose real name was Nafisa Khan, was born in New York and grew up in London. Her website said she went to New York to study acting at the Lee Strasberg's Institute.
Khan made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Ram Gopal Varma's "Nishabd", playing the 18-year-old female lead opposite one of India's leading actors, Amitabh Bachchan, in a film loosely based on Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel "Lolita".
"Nishabd" received mixed reviews and did not do well at the Bollywood box office, but Khan went on to play supporting roles in two blockbusters, the psychological thriller "Ghajini" in 2008 and the comedy "Housefull" in 2010.
Her death has shocked the Indian film industry.
"Never ever seen a debutant actress with more spunk and more spirit than Jiah when i was directing her in Nishabd," filmmaker Varma wrote on Twitter.
"I dont know the reason what led to this but Jiah was very depressed about her career and scared for her future," he said in another tweet, adding that the actress had not worked for the past three years.
Fellow actress Dia Mirza tweeted: "RIP Nafisa (Jiah) Khan. You were too young and beautiful."

Poem Testimony of a Heartbroken Girl
Testimony of a Heartbroken Girl
People say, "Love can make you crazy",
make you act more like a fool than a lady,
For years I said oh no not me,
hoopin and hollerin, snoopin followin'
THAT will never be me,
Then I met a man who swept me of my feet,
dropped all my guards, for once I felt free,
I found somebody who let me just be me.
For a while, we consumed one another's time,
it wasn't about nothing, if it wasn't he and I.
he earned his stripes, yes he had all my trust.
I felt secure in the foundation we had made for us,
But then with no warning, things started to change.
The sunshine we once basked in quickly turned to rain.
The man who was so open and would tell me everything,
became so distant, things weren't what they seemed.
I had dropped my guards, I felt so vulnerable.
The things I used to protect me for years, they no longer worked.
I was wide open, I damn near needed his love,
made me insecure, out the window went our trust.
I needed reasons, why my friend had changed,
how could a love so strong suddenly turn to pain.
So I stepped outside myself, violated his privacy,
and as soon as I started looking, I started finding things.
I confronted him about the infidelity,
and he ended up making ME feel like a lie, a cheat.
Lowest point in my life, I wanted to be this man's wife,
and he assured me I would be, then took it away from me.
The hurt made me question everything, made me live in suspense,
I lost some of my self love ,my self confidence,
couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't work, couldn't think,
couldn't keep my eyes dry, all I could do was just cry.
I'm grateful that I had friends and family there to hold me,
because for the first time in my life I could not console me,
I had to fall to my knees and pray, I had a to talk to God so many times a day,
I just wanted the pain to go away, but in reality I needed it to stay.
I needed to live in it for just a little bit longer, because that pain, that rain,
it all helped me grow, made me stronger,
It taught me some important lessons about life and love,
turned me into a woman, showed me the truth about us.
See he was a season, here to teach me things,
but he had to leave as surely Fall turns into Spring.
I have received what I needed from that situation,
now I need to be open for the next opportunity for education,
And as soon as I was able to let that go,
God unleashed his blessing, in abundance and overflow.
I'm shortening my journey, trust me it wasn't easy,
I had to forgive someone who lied and deceived me,
I had to get past anger, at the world, at him, at me,
it was hard but I knew it was the only way I could be free.
How can you find what really out there for you,
if you're holding onto what you USED to have and the things you USED to do?
So I thought I'd share my testimony,
you don't have to stay broken, you can grow through your rain.
You can flourish through the heartache, learn a lesson through your pain.
