American teacher found dead in Japan
An American woman teaching English in Japan has been found dead, her family said Monday.
Taylor Anderson, 24, had been missing since the tsunami struck earlier this month. She’d been teaching in Ishinomaki, Japan for the last three years, according to her parents.
Ishinomaki, a city in Miyagi Prefecture, was hit hard by the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami.
The disaster has killed more than 8,800 people and left close to 13,000 missing, many of them killed as a wall of water rushed in following the quake.
“We would like to thank all those whose prayers and support have carried us through this crisis. Please continue to pray for all who remain missing and for the people of Japan,” her family said.
The oldest of three children, Anderson was a native of Virginia. Her parents said she loved Japan, the culture and children.
Some of her fellow teachers in Japan told CNN that Anderson hopped on her bike after the quake and likely tried to pedal home. The tsunami waters did not reach the school, though her home neighborhood was hit head on, they said.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell released a statement, offering his support for Anderson’s family and friends. He said Anderson is the first American reported to have been killed in the natural disasters.
“Fittingly, she was last seen helping parents safely reunite with their children following the earthquake, an act which illustrates her dedication to her students and to the Japanese people she served,” McDonnell said. “Our thoughts and prayers remain with Taylor’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

Baby Pictured on Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘Ready To Die’ Cover Found
Besides perhaps the Nevermind baby, the child sporting a giant Afro pictured on Notorious B.I.G.’s classic debut Ready to Die is the most iconic infant in album-cover history. As the music world commemorated the 14th anniversary of Biggie’s death on March 9th, many fans began inquiring about the Ready to Die kid. Diddy simply told Rap Radar, “That was a baby we just found… We did a little casting for somebody that looked like Big,” and the Bad Boy offices had long lost any concrete form of documentation.
But now, the New York Daily News has uncovered the 18-year-old who claims to be the mini-B.I.G.: Bronx native Keithroy Yearwood.
“I just want people to know that’s me. The truth is finally coming out,” Yearwood told the Daily News, who corroborated his claim with Yearwood’s baby photos. The story of how the teen landed on the cover also seems to match Bad Boy’s assertion that the baby came from a modeling agency: Yearwood’s mother Delcenia Burns says her son was recruited by the now-defunct modeling agency Chicky’s Kids, and that she has the paperwork to prove it.
That Yearwood was a paid model would come as a surprise to two people involved in the shoot: Designer Cey Adams and the cover’s photographer Butch Belair, both thought that the Ready to Die baby was the child of someone who worked at Bad Boy.
“When I first found out about it, it wasn’t a big deal to me. Now, of course, it’s a big deal to me,” Yearwood, who plans to study sports management in college, said of his claim to fame. “It’s an honor to be on this album.”
Yearwood says he only received $150 for being on the cover of Ready to Die, but his place in music history is priceless.

Tiger Woods New Girlfriend?
Less than a year after finalizing their divorce, Tiger Woods and ex-wife Elin Nordegren appear to be moving on with their lives.
Woods, 35, has been spotted recently with a new lady friend, who bears some resemblance to Nordegren. The blond beauty is Alyse Lahti Johnston, a 22-year-old aspiring golf pro originally from Cleveland, Ohio.
Sports and entertainment blog TerezOwens.com first broke the news last Friday that the pair have been dating for a few months. “They went out on his yacht with another couple the other night and Tiger seems to be smitten over her,” the blog post said.
Calls to Woods’ rep were not immediately returned.
According to Britain’s Daily Mail, Johnston moved to the Windermere, Fla., estate where her mother and stepfather live after graduating from Ohio State last year.
