(AP) "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts had "very successful" surgery for breast cancer on Friday and has left the hospital for home.

Roberts, 46, revealed her diagnosis to viewers Tuesday. She said doctors believed they had caught the cancer early.

An ABC News spokeswoman said Roberts' mother and sisters traveled from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans to be with her for the surgery. Roberts has said she has no family history of breast cancer.

She has been an anchor at "GMA" since 2005, and had been a newsreader for the program.

When she made the announcement, Roberts said: "I am so blessed that I found this in the early stages and the prognosis is so promising that my doctor expects me to be flying planes and hanging on to submarines in the middle of the Atlantic and scaling the Mayan pyramids in no time."

Roberts, who is co-anchor of "Good Morning America" with Diane Sawyer, said she examined herself and found a lump on her breast the same day she had done a report on former "GMA" movie critic Joel Siegel, who died of colon cancer last month.

Roberts, who is single, said there is no history in her family of breast cancer.

Anyone heard when Centier is going to get going on their new branch at 421 and 20? They said they were waiting for the intersection work to be done, but that was completed something like 9 months ago

I would imagine that the gasoline tanks that were there all those years could result in a mini-EPA site.

Sadly there is no doubt in my mind that all of the non-public areas of NW Indiana would be superfund sites if the businesses on them were too leave. Places like the steel mills and refinaries have done god-awful things to our lakefront, which we have ignored because of the higher paying jobs they have provided.

Do you think that would be true of nearly every industrial site? We cannot expect zero-impact industrialization, and in the past, there were few restrictions on waste and fewer who really cared. Fortunately, things are not so wide open now, and the impact is controlled. Remember the orange snow in Gary? I do. Next door to the Nipsco building on Greenwood, we used to play in the water-logged woods, laughing at the colors in the water--probably pcb waste! Cleaning up a few gas tank sites is small potatoes (or small beer, as they say in England), especially for a bank.

The chemicals used in the steel making process are every bit as toxic as those that come out of the refining process. Granted it isn't as bad as it used to be, but some of those sites are over 100 years old

I pulled a similar stunt when I was about 5. We lived on East 8th catty corner from Central School and I was in trouble for something, I can't remember what, so I hid in the laundry basket and covered up with the clothes, then promptly fell asleep. My mother looked in the closet but it didn't occur to her I was IN the dirty clothes. She was frantic. Did the same thing as this woman. People were scouring the neighborhood looking for me. After a couple hours I woke up, went to use the bathroom-none the wiser to what had been going on. When my mom heard the toilet flush she came flying into the bathroom in total hysterics. I'll never forget that.

Lost, Then Found
Mother said she searched closet where girl was napping.

The News-Dispatch

MICHIGAN CITY - A nearly three-hour search for a 4-year-old Michigan City girl ended abruptly Tuesday night when the girl suddenly appeared in the front door of the Greene Street home her mother thought she'd walked away from hours earlier.

"She fooled us," Heather Dickey said of her daughter, Tateyana, who apparently was hiding in a closet while police and neighbors searched for her. "She said she was in the closet the whole time. She's sneaky. When I turned around and saw her, my heart just dropped. I picked her up and didn't let go."

Police, city workers and neighbors searched the city's West Side for more than two hours Tuesday night for the young girl who was thought to have walked out of the Greene Street home her mother, sister and her mother's boyfriend were visiting.

During the height of the search - which included police K-9 units and officers on off-road vehicles - Dickey told The News-Dispatch she and her boyfriend had walked down the street to get something to eat, leaving Tateyana and her sister in the home with another woman.

Dickey said when she got home, the girl couldn't be found.

"The girls were upstairs when we left, and I guess she just snuck down the stairs and now we can't find her," Dickey said around 6:30 p.m. "She's never done this before. Usually, when she doesn't know the neighborhood, she always stays in the house."

Just hours later, though, as Dickey sat on the front porch of the home talking to people aiding in the search, the girl walked down the stairs and onto the porch, shocking her mother and everyone standing in front of the house.

Apparently, her mother said, the girl was in a closet which she said had been searched several times after Tateyana went missing.

"I was sleepy," Tateyana said late Tuesday as her mother held her tight.

Michigan City Police shift Capt. Larry Kunkel said police began their search for the girl around 5:52 p.m. He said officers asked Dickey if the house had been searched, and Dickey "was adamant (the family) had searched the house," he said.

"We had emergency management, the city chaplain, city employees and neighbors all searching," Kunkel said. "We got a really good response from the neighborhood and the city. I'm glad it turned out the way it did."

During the search, police combed several West Side neighborhoods and got help from many neighbors who searched through groves of trees and inside the perimeters of several factory fences.

Debbie Griffin, who lives on nearby Claire Street, feared for Tateyana as she and several other neighbors stood watch just a block away from the Greene Street home.

"This is scary," she said. "I hope they find her. We're always watching and worrying about the kids around here."

Good that they found her safe and sound. Bad that they have to be in such a vigilant state.

That guy that escaped from Westville CC passed by a couple hours from here. He robbed a bank east of Gillette a couple days ago before he went up to Montana. They were talking about it on the news this morning. They didn't say he escaped from an Indiana prison, but they did say he was on America's Most Wanted. Then, I found the news paper article with the story.... Small world, huh?

Montana police nab man suspected in Moorcroft heist
By DAVID MIRHADI
Star-Tribune staff writer Thursday, August 09, 2007



Police in Butte, Montana on Wednesday arrested a man suspected of robbing a Moorcroft bank the day before.

Kevin J. Fuller, 40, apparently drove into town shortly before 1 p.m. to drop off a hitchhiker he'd picked up in Billings when officers from the Butte-Silver Bow sheriff's patrol stopped to question the driver and passenger of a Chevorlet Malibu in a parking lot, according to police reports obtained by the Montana Standard newspaper. The plates on the vehicle did not match the vehicle Fuller was driving, police noted, and Fuller was subsequently arrested.

Fuller, of Anderson, Indiana, had apparently robbed the Pinnacle Bank in Moorcroft the previous morning. A release from the Moorcroft Police Department issued Tuesday said that Fuller entered the bank at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, brandished a handgun, and demanded money from bank employees. He placed the undisclosed sum of cash in a bag before summoning employees to a basement bathroom before leaving the bank.

Moorcroft Police Chief Ed Robinson said the Gillette office of the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation was also working on the case.

Fuller, according to reports in the Montana Standard, apparently fled the medium-security prison in Westville, Indiana on August 1. He is also believed to be connected to robberies of a bus driver in Merriville, Ind., and a bank in Fishers, Ind.

The America's Most Wanted website listed Fuller as a wanted fugitive on its website as of Wednesday and he was featured on the program as recently as August 4.

On Wednesday, a district judge in Butte ordered Fuller to be held in the Butte jail for up to 30 days without bond, the Montana Standard reported, until he's extradited to Indiana to face charges there.

Reporter John Grant Emeigh of the Montana Standard contributed to this report.

I mean it is interesting to read about this guy getting all the way out there and doing that stuff. Around here, this was big news, and I enjoyed getting more from over there. You know the ND is not gonna have that.

Cool. That's what I thought you meant. laugh.gif

I am a little irritated with the paper here that they didn't get the guy's name right, nor did they spell Merrillville correct. I'm tempted to write to them about it.

Hey, you know I don't get upset about spelling and grammar, but a newspaper should be accurate.

Incidentally, that is how people pronounce Merrillville. This is another example of why English spelling is standardized in spite of pronunciation. Can you imagine trying to spell phonetically if we agree to go by the local pronunciation? We would be unable to read what North Carolinian mountain folk wrote. Or imagine the difference in the orthography when Geo. Bush changes from his regular accent to his Down Home Texas routine (another way to know when he is lying, by the way).

You're kinda right on the pronunciation thing. I said Merrillville over and over a few times, and while I do pronounce the L's, it's very slight and I can see how someone might miss them. STILL. It would be like if someone spelled your name Kapootnick. One should ask for the spelling... I always do. Even if the name is Smith, cause it could be spelled Smyth
