For 18 years, Jaycee Dugard never said her own name. And, she said, she never tried to flee from Phillip Garrido, the Marc Jacobs Hobo predator who used a stun gun to abduct her from her South Lake Tahoe bus stop at age 11.
At first, Dugard told an El Dorado County grand jury, the threat of being shocked again kept her in line - that and the lock on the shed where she was stashed.
Garrido had a temper, and he would fire up the Marc Jacobs Hobo Taser so Dugard could hear the "zappy noise." There were dogs, too, in her backyard prison outside Garrido's home near Antioch.
Years later, she felt trapped, not knowing how she could make money to support two young daughters - now teenagers - fathered by Garrido. Ultimately, she convinced herself she was performing a greater good, Marc Jacobs Hobo feeding the compulsions of a fiend who might not need to steal another child.
"He said he needed help with his sexual problem, that he had a real problem, and that, you know, I was helping him," Dugard, now 31, said in her testimony, portions of which were released after Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido, were sentenced Thursday in Placerville.

Marc Jacobs Hobo dependent on these kinds of predictions
"Sadly, you can't turn to your religion or go to your priest or pastor or spiritual leader for help. They, too, should be begging
God for mercy for themselves.
"Thank God that in his great mercy he has given you this warning of the destruction that is almost here, and the great hope that you, too, might be one whom God will bring to heaven."
But Centre for Public Christianity director John Dickson is unfazed by Camping's warning, saying he will be enjoying a glass of wine with his wife on Saturday, and preaching a sermon on Sunday morning.
And though he is relaxed about his own fate, Dr Dickson is critical of such predictions because they can cause a crisis of faith for some Christians.
"People come up with this every couple of years ... my general feeling is that it's just really sad when pastors come up with these ideas, because they're setting themselves, and everyone around them, up for real disappointment," he said.
"My greatest fear in all of this isn't that I don't want there to be silly Christians out there - there are plenty.
"My real concern is that people's faith is dependent on these kinds of predictions and when they don't come true, as invariably will happen, it just sets people up for a massive crisis of faith that they've never had."
Camping came up with his version of rapture through a series of complex mathematical equations, which he says he used to discover that doomsday will be on October 21, 2011.
Dr Dickson, who has written a book about end times, told ABC News Online Camping's rapture prediction is simply a new theory on an old idea that is not even in the Bible.

Marc Jacobs Hobo are a piece of putting
Palmisano was at NASA's news center for close to 24 hours on April 29, the original launch date for Endeavour's final
mission, which was scrubbed due to a mechanical problem.
At the end of the day, he was falling asleep in a seat in the back of the room, but he wouldn't leave because he didn't want to miss anything.
Palmisano feels deeply connected to the space shuttle program. The last thing he would want to do is miss a shuttle launch.
"Somehow, some way, you feel you are a piece of putting those men and women into space."
The small-time cable show host is not looking forward to the final space shuttle launch of Atlantis. NASA is prepping the shuttle for its last mission, but a launch date has yet to be finalized.
That moment is when Palmisano will say goodbye to the people he has bonded with all these years.
"I will miss coming down here. There always was another launch," said Palmisano. "It's really a shock because they really are your family. You look forward to saying 'see you next time' and I have to say, there always was a next time."

Cheap Marc Jacobs Hobo attempt to prevent flooding
Parts of the town of Melville not protected by levees were under a mandatory evacuation order. The shelves inside the gas station — temporarily opened so people could fill up before leaving town — were
barren save for some soft drinks and motor oil.
And in Butte La Rose, a hamlet about 50 miles downstream from the Morganza Spillway, Chalmers Wheat was one of the few people still lining his home with plastic and sandbags.
"It's almost like a ghost town," said Wheat as he and his brother, Chandler, made final preparations before leaving for higher ground.
The opening of the Morganza was the latest attempt to prevent flooding of major population centers along the Mississippi, which has been swollen by unusually heavy rains and runoff from winter snows.
Earlier this month, the Army Corps of Engineers blew up a levee in Missouri, sending water across farmland and rural areas to protect the city of Cairo, Ill. The corps' decision to open the Morganza Spillway was based on the same premise: that it was best to intentionally flood sparsely populated areas with a relatively slow, controlled stream of water than risk catastrophic floods by subjecting levees to more than they were built to handle.

Marc Jacobs Hobo are arranged according to the standings
Curtis Granderson led off the eighth inning with a triple and scored on a one-out wild pitch by Daniel Bard. Bard walked Alex
Rodriguez and hit Cano with a pitch. Rodriguez and Cano pulled a double steal, but Bard struck out Nick Swisher and got Jorge Posada to ground out.
Bard replaced Boston starter Clay Buchholz (4-3), who gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings and often had the Yankees swinging from their heels at his changeup. The Red Sox had won only three of their previous eight games, but Buchholz gave them a lift Friday.
Derek Jeter singled off Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the ninth inning, took second and scored on a single to left by Granderson. But Mark Teixeira, who went 0 for 5, popped out to Youkilis to end the game.
The flags atop Yankee Stadium are arranged according to the standings, and the Yankees entered Friday one flag behind Tampa Bay, the first-place team in the American League East, with the Boston Red Sox three flags back. Then a blimp hovered over the park.
Blimps do not tend to hover over the Bronx when, say, Kansas City is in town. Even when both teams are underperforming, with Boston still three games under .500 and the Yankees coming off a series loss to the Royals, any Yankees-Red Sox game is still a big deal.
Colon strode to the mound at 7:06 p.m. under a heightened amount of scrutiny, and not just because the Red Sox were the opponents and because Colon gave up five runs and nine hits in four and a third innings in his previous start, a 7-5 loss Saturday at Texas.

Marc Jacobs Crossbody was buried at sea
More members of Congress are seeing something cleared for only a select group of Americans: Photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse.
Republican Sen.
James Inhofe told CNN's Eliot Spitzer on Wednesday he saw about 15 photos of bin Laden's body, most taken at the al Qaeda leader's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Three were taken on a naval vessel from which bin Laden was buried at sea after the May 2 U.S. commando raid.
"Pretty gruesome" is how Inhofe described photos of brains hanging out of bin Laden's eye socket. The wound either entered or exited an ear, the Oklahoma senator said.
Many people have demanded proof that bin Laden was killed.
"That was him," said Inhofe, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "He is gone. He's history."
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, told CNN national correspondent Susan Candiotti he will see the images Thursday morning at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

Cheap Marc Jacobs Hobo in the wake

raising questions about the costs and the value of a continued, full-scale military mission in Afghanistan.
The revived debate over the war comes as the Obama administration begins to plan an initial pullout of U.S. forces slated for July. When the president announced the deployment of an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan in December 2009, he promised to start a "significant" drawdown this summer and complete it by 2014.
The size and configuration of the summer withdrawals could signal whether the administration's timetable and goals have been adjusted in the wake of bin Laden's death.
Some key officials say the door has been opened for a faster handover to Afghan security forces. Senate Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., told a hearing Tuesday that bin Laden's death "provides a potentially game-changing opportunity to build momentum for a political solution in Afghanistan that could bring greater stability to the region and bring our troops home."
