PAMELA LAVERNE LONG: PERSON OF INTEREST

Pamela Laverne Long is a popular real estate agent and a prominent Pensacola resident who owned several properties and antique stores. She has been located by police authorities when she fled and went into hiding after the murder and robbery incident that took place in Pensacola a week ago. Long who used several aliases is now the "person of interest" by investigators who will be presented as witness of the case and no longer a suspect.

A week ago, Melanie and Byrd Billings who were known for raising and adopting children with special needs were shot to death after a bizarre military style operation. An extensive surveillance system captured footage of masked men - some dressed as ninjas - slipping into front and back doors at the home and stealing a safe, among other items.

Morgan said that "that the execution basically flawless" and the suspects believed to have been in a 30-day training to execute the crime of robbery. He also added that they also don't know the identity of the mysterious person assigned to turn off the camera system or why that person didn't show up. He speculated that maybe it was attack of conscience. "Who knows?"

Aside from Laverne Long, 7 persons have so far been arrested, including a special operations US Military man, a day laborers and a 16 year old. Morgan said they are looking for a "second person of interest" of which Long has the "significant and substantial information" to conclude the case.

STAN MUSIAL REMAINS GOLD STANDARD

The MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday which will be held in St. Louis is in celebration of the career of Tan Musial, who is one of the greatest players in baseball history. Musial, who is now 88, along with the other Hall of Famers will be honored in a parade few hours before the game whose memorabilia figures a lot of success at the All-Star Fan Fest exhibiting the detailed baseball cities on record.

As we have learned, Musial spent his entire career in the Midwest. Far from the famed East Cost ballparks that made up baseball's epicenter in the 1940's and 1050's, Musial simply wailed away on his harmonica and over matched pitchers to build a legacy in St. Louis.

He became a pitcher in the minors before an injury and joined the Cardinals in 1941 who never left the team. He played the outfield and first base for years and in his outstanding years he made a great a success and made him known as one of the best player ever.

Musial amassed 55 major league records when he retired in 1963, and was still the only player to hit 400 homers and strike out fewer than 700 times. In fact, he never fanned even 50 times in a season.

In his 16 straight years of record, he hit .300 and finished at .331 overall. His 3,630 career hits stood as the NL mark until Pete Rose broke it, and he hit 475 homers with 1,951 RBI's while scoring 1,949 runs.

Musial hit a 12th-inning home run that won the 1955 All-Star game. He reached the World Series four times in his first five full seasons and won three championships.

You could also find here the oldest bat in which Musial has been using.

Piazza Maggiore, is the central part of Bologna, Italy, where everything starts.

Few days ago it was reported that Italian private banks were under management whose assets dropped to 13 per cent to 734 billion euros because of the sharp market downturn wherein it would probably goes on sale on Monday.

In its summary report Magstat said that "The Italian private banking market underwent a sharp slowdown in 2008,".

The assets held by specialized private banking operators fell by 70billion euros" in large part due to the sudden losses by international bourses", it said.

Report said that Sixty per cent of assets under management was controlled by 59 Italian commercial banks through private bank divisions or stand-alone units. Intesa Sanpaolo SpA (ISP.MI), UniCredit SpA (CRDI.MI) and UBI Banca SpA (UBI.MI) have 40.4 percent of the market or 203 billion euros in assets.

While Foreign investment banks also held 15.6 percent of the market and Independent Italian private banks had 8.6 per cent and no new foreign private banking operators entered the Italian market last year after seven years of new players coming into the market.

Recently it was also reported that the Bologna firm just signed centre-back Andrea Raggi for a loan from Palermo.

This sharp market downturn happened in Italy is definitely the effect of global crisis that has been influencing worldwide which is just the same story happened of the leading banking institution in the U.S. who incurred losses in 2007-2008.

MCNAIR AND KAZEMI'S VACATION PHOTOS

Pending further investigation behind the death of McNair and Kazemi, these vacation photos would tell that McNair and Kazemi have been dating for several months and having such special kind of relationship.

As earlier said, McNair had been planning to divorce his wife, Mechelle, to live with Kazemi but Mechelle said she knows nothing about his husband's plan for a divorce.

Although investigation showed that the death of McNair was classified as homicide yet, the same has to be investigated further what is behind the tragedy and the death of Kazemi.

These are among the photos have been collected since the death of McNair and Kazemi to shed light about the tragedy.

WHO IS SAHEL KAZEMI A.K.A. SALEH AND JENNY

Sahel Kazemi also known as Saleh and Jenny just turned 20 few weeks ago. She was from Jacksonville, Florida, where her family lives. She was raised by a sister named Sepideh Salmani. Kazemi was actually the aunt of Sepideh Salmani but they were raised as sisters. Salmani's mother adopted her at the age of 9. Her mother was a native of Iran and was murdered when Kazemi was 9 while her father was unknown.

Her neighbors described her as friendly and fun-loving though naive about some things. She was also known as Jenny to her friends.
She was working as a waitress at Dave and Buster's Grand Sports Cafe where she met McNair.

Tony Farahani, General Manager of Dave and Buster's Cafe at Opry Mills said, McNair frequently came to his restaurant, often bringing several people. He also said he would not surprised if McNair met Kazemi there. He described Kazemi as a solid employee, workaholic with high energy.

Kazemi had a long-time boyfriend named Keith Norfleet, who had been dating her for four years. Five months ago, Kazemi and Keith broke up their relationship when McNair had been dating her. Keith was worried about Kazemi's dating with McNair, who was a married man.

Norfleet said that he move here in Nashville with Kazemi from Jacksonville, Florida. He also added that they'd been speaking a lot recently and she planned to break it off with McNair. He said Kazemi banged at his door early Saturday morning but she left before he could get to the door. He spent much of Saturday afternoon looking for her and trying to find out if she was the woman died with McNair.

Norfleet said upon learning her death, "She is the sweetest girl and she do not deserve this." "He was making her believe they were going to be together and everything would be perfect." "She was a very strong independent girl, a hard worker, who had hoped to get back with her." "She had a huge heart, very caring and loving."

"This is a tremendous shock, so unexpected. She was a bubbly girl and she was to come today at 5 p.m." Norfleet said.

The riots of Xinjiang region, capital of China killed about 140 people and injured 828 when a peaceful protest was held yesterday, July 5 attended by 3,000 people.

The Uighers, members of a Muslim ethnic group, clashed with Urumqi Police during the protest. Rioters overturned barricades, attacked vehicles and houses. Xinjiang Provincial Government through its News director, Wu Nong, stated that 260 vehicles were attacked or set on fire and damaged 203 houses.

Government stated that the violence was a pre-empted, organized violent crime, instigated and directed from abroad and carried out by outlaws in the country.

Alim Seytoff, Kadeer's spokesman, said by telephone from Washington, D.C., that the accusations were baseless.

He further stated that "It's common practice for the Chinese government to accuse Ms. Kadeer for any unrest in East Turkestan and His Holiness the Dalai Lama for any unrest in Tibet."

The protest started on Sunday when demonstrators demanding a probe into a fight between Uighurs and Han Chinese workers at Southern China factory happened last month.

SALEH KAZEMI MURDERED McNAIR?

Since the death of Steve McNair, 36, and Saleh Kazemi, 20, early Saturday, July 4, 2009, in a Nashville condominium rented by McNair, speculations raised that the incident was a "murder-suicide" or an "ill-motive of jealousy".

McNair was 36 when he was shot to death with a four fatal gunshot wounds, two in his chest and two in his head, one of which caused his death fatally, while Kazemi suffered one gunshot wound in her head, McNair's girlfriend, wherein a semi-automatic pistol was found underneath her body.

The condo was owned by Charles Cardwell which was leased to Wyne Neeley, a sporting goods dealer and a friend of McNair. Cardwell told WSMB that Neeley and McNair were good friends and when McNair visited Nashville, he would sometimes stay at the apartment. Neeley did not use apparently the apartment as his own residence. Cardwell said he had no idea who the dead woman was. This just reported on WSMB.

The mysterious death of the two were still to be resolved by further investigation of the Police authorities, the Ballestics Bureau/Division and the Forensic Meds to determine the real perpetrator of the killing incident.

Speculations raised that the incident was a murder-suicide or an ill-motive of jealousy from Mechelle, the wife of McNair or Kazemi's boyfriend, however, Police investigation failed to show that Mechelle is involved in the killing of her husband while further investigation is still on going as to the person of Saleh Kazemi including his boyfriend, Keith Norfleet.

McNair was the famous Tennessee Titans Football player and its predecessor team, the Houston Oilers, who played 13 seasons in the NFL or the Superbowl was also a local hero who did extensive charity work in Nashville.

He met Saleh Kazemi, as a waitress, whom he was dating for several months and a plan for marriage to her after leaving his wife, Mechelle.

Not until the final findings from the Ballestic division, the Forensic Meds and the Investigators who are still in the process of conducting further investigation as to the death of McNair and Kazemi, their death would remain mysterious and the killer/perpetrator would likewise remain at large whose whereabouts is still unknown.
