Coming back to life ...... *Literally*

A pregnant lady in Missouri City, Texas died, gave birth to a girl and was brought back to life.

A pregnant English teacher, at Elkins High School, Missouri City, Texas, collapsed in her co-worker's classroom, while she was in her 36th week of pregnancy.
Erica Nigrelli, the pregnant teacher, apparently felt very faint and passed out. Erica's husband, Nathan, who also is a teacher at Elkins said, "I opened the door and walked in and Erica was laying on the floor".
Erica Nigrelli's heart had stopped. Some co-workers started CPR and used a defibrillator to get it working again. They kept her alive until paramedics came and rushed her to the hospital.
Doctors delivered baby Elayna by emergency cesarean section. It was technically a post-mortem delivery because Erica's heart wasn't beating.
Erica Nigrelli had an undetected heart defect, and the fact mom and baby are here today is a testament to her co-workers. Though Erica is only 32 years old, doctors have installed a pacemaker.
The 3-months-old Elayna now weighs a whopping 9 pounds, and could be off oxygen as early as next week.

Japanese PM's official residence needs to call the Ghost busters...

Japanese PM 's official residence 

A delay in Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife moving into their official residence, the site of past assassinations, has revived talk of ghosts in the corridors, prompting the government to deny any knowledge of hauntings.
Abe has not moved into the prime minister's official residence for five months since he took power.
Asked by an opposition lawmaker about the reported hauntings, the government issued a formal statement on Friday saying it was not aware of ghost sightings, Asahi newspaper and other media reported.
The residence, formerly the prime minister's office, was built in 1929 and was the site of military rebellions, including in 1932 when then-Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai was assassinated.
Talk of ghosts has long haunted the building, remodeled in the early 2000s. It has served as the official residence for the prime minister and the premier's family since 2005.
Abe has given no explanation for the delay in moving in, but it is not uncommon for the premier to take some time before taking up residence.

Criminal's Butt dials 911, while in midst of the crime.


Worried about the increasing ease with which law enforcement can access cellphones? How can you protect yourself? Step 1 would be: Don't call the cops when you're embarking on a petty crime spree. It's a lesson two men learned the hard way, thanks to a humble pocket dial to 911.
The Fresno Police Department provided TODAY with a recording of a 911 call, made at approximately 11:30 p.m. PT on May 9. In surprisingly decent quality, the audio documents just over a half-an-hour in the lives of Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, two 20-year-olds who ended up being intercepted and charged with burglary, conspiracy and possession of stolen property.
"This stuff just doesn't happen — where a crime is captured from beginning to end," Sergeant Jaime Rios told TODAY. "The 911 call was still open at the time of the arrests, and the officer took the phone and ended the call himself."

From the sounds of things, the two California men were just sitting around chit-chatting when one of their phones dialed 911. The 911 dispatcher's attempts to communicate with the callers went unnoticed, likely because the phone was buried in one of their pockets. When one of the men declared, fairly quickly, that they "need weed," the dispatcher decided to keep listening. The pair then decided to break into a car.
The dispatcher was able to hear the men plot how to break into the vehicle, the moment the glass shattered, and even the strange way in which Teklemariam and Rinehart divided up the prescription pills they discovered. (One of the men had trouble counting out the pills, and can be heard cursing before restarting his count.)
The dispatcher was able to feed information from the call to a police officer — and with that, it didn't take long to find Teklemariam and Rinehart. "He's following the s*** out of me, bro," one of the men said, once he realized that the officer was trailing behind their car. A few moments later, they got pulled over.
Though the men tried to play it innocent — "What'd I do officer?" is heard — the situation resolved itself quickly. The officer searched the vehicle, found the stolen items, and quickly busted the two men, one of whom couldn't wrap his mind around what happened. "The phone really called 911?" he asked. "This phone really called 911? Damn."
