Could be a life insurance scam. He might be alive and well living in south america now.

The newspaper said he swam to shore, and then was swimming back to the kayak when he had trouble,Read More and called to his sister to throw him his life jacket. So sad. I never swim at Del Valle without a life jacket, because the water is so murky. It's easier to find people if they're floating on the surface, instead of sinking in the mud on the bottom.

Is this a man or woman? In the description it says a male but in the summary it says "Stark isRead More wanted for HER involvement in a robbery".

What we need is more enforcement on drivers using cell phones, oh I guess that wasn't the problem,Read More then how about some seat belt enforcement or a DUI checkpoint.

I run on the road and against traffic so that I can see YOU! I don't have blind faith that you willRead More stop for me or even share the road. I take responsibility for my actions and don't dart into traffic, run through stop signs, and I'd appreciate some courtesy. Share and take turns like you live here!

As all parents do, I'm always stressing to my children that it is their responsibility to make sureRead More they are very careful crossing the street and to never assume a driver will stop for them even if the driver sees them. They were in the car with me when we were stopped waiting to cross 4th Street. Two young girls were attempting to cross 4th Street in a crosswalk while walking with their bikes. Even though they were completely visible to oncoming (heavy) traffic no one would stop. These poor girls walked out with traffic flying by them in both directions as they crossed. It was crazy! I was so afraid that we were going to witness a very tragic accident. I've tried to cross in a crosswalk on 2nd street with by kids and have had drivers drive right in front of us while we were in the middle of the street! The bottom line is, don't trust that drivers will stop even if you know that they see you.

Could be a scam. Drowning victims often have a second boat waiting secretly to escape. Then leaveRead More park in trunk of car and start a new life under a new identity. Life insurance will payoff benefits to his family even if a body is not found if witnesses support drowning story and a Judge issues a death certificate. Several trails leave park where a waiting car could be parked. Drowned bodies do float up to lake surface a few days after drowning because bacteria gas builds up in dead body. Body slowly inflates like a huge skin bag and rises to surface in a warm water lake like del valle. Small fish nibble on it and scavenger birds circle it and peck at the dead flesh. Unless body is caught under water on submerged branches it will surface.

The scene where "John Harrison" rescues the Enterprise crew is extremely well done. It'sRead More over the top action without being over the top. The whole movie is well done. I'm particularly impressed with the actors who played Scotty and Chekov. They add dimensions to the characters that are consistent with the originals. Zoe Saldana who does Uhura is basically playing the Uhura from the "Mirror Mirror" TOS Episode. It's who Uhura should have been all along, IMHO. And Kieth Urban's McCoy is simply dead on DeForrest Kelly re-incarnated. Its Movie 2 of the new timeline, which is fitting... Old time Trekkers who watched the series from the beginning on NBC in 1966 and followed it religiously should be very, very pleased. (but I still hate new Enterprise design....)

They are beautiful and you described them so well! I hope that someone steps forward quickly! (IRead More have my quota of cats already.)

It isn't up to the gov. to help raise your kids. The stork didn't drop the kid off unexpectedly. IfRead More you can't afford kids then don't have them.
barbieann June 13, 2013 at 08:39 am
Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.

A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...

Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!

Thank you! That is what we want to know too. We have had more power outages this week than in theRead More 20+ years total that we have lived in this house!
Lynn June 8, 2013 at 07:03 pm
It would be nice to know, indeed. When my husband called to report the outage the recording saidRead More there were no outages in our area, which was clearly incorrect.
AT June 9, 2013 at 06:00 pm
I got the same thing, no outages when I called. I requested to be contacted by PG&E to explainRead More the problem. No call for that but I did get a "survey" call about their automated system. We have also lived here for 20+ years and never had this many outages.
