Lyon County authorities were desperately looking for a woodcutter Thursday who reported possibly cutting hisleg off with a chain saw before the cell phone connection died.
The man called 911 at 11:56 a.m. and said he may have cut his
leg off and needed an ambulance, Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Page said.
"He said he was dizzy, there was lots of blood, and then the
phone went dead," said Page, who listened to the taped call
several times.
"He sounded pretty distressed; pretty shook up," he told The
Associated Press.
Dispatchers were unable to get the man's location before the
communication ended.
Search and rescue teams launched a countywide search and
sheriff's deputies started telephoning people who had been issued
wood cutting permits in the area based on a list provided by the
U.S. Forest Service, Page said.
Lyon County covers 2,200 square miles and stretches from east of
Reno south to the California line near Topaz Lake.
Looking for the man was "a proverbial needle in a haystack,"
Page said, given the expansive area involved.
The Fallon Naval Air Station provided two helicopters that
searched until dark Thursday in the Sweetwater and Pinenut
mountains while ground units searched Forest Service roads, he
said.
Nevada state park rangers also searched the Lahontan State Park
and surrounding area, but with no luck, he said.
Additional air searches planned from Reno, Washoe County and the
Army National Guard were put on hold due to cloudy, rainy weather.
The search was to continue until 9 p.m. Thursday. It was unclear
if the search would continue Friday, depending on the weather, Page
said late Thursday.
He asked that anyone who knows of someone who planned to go
woodcutting to contact authorities so officers can try to locate
them and check on their welfare. They are asked to telephone the
Lyon County Dispatch Center at 775-463-6620.

A Sad Sad story

A 67-year-old woman put her husband in a suitcase after he died in their Upper East Side apartment and left him there until neighbors noticed the smell, police said Monday.

Police arrived at the woman's apartment Monday and found her 87-year-old husband in the suitcase, Det. John Sweeney said.

The woman appeared confused about how long her husband had been dead, said police.

"He wanted to be buried in Arizona. She wanted to take him to Arizona to be buried," Sweeney said.

Police arrived after neighbors complained of a smell coming from the apartment. The couple's name wasn't being released until police could find other family to notify.

Police didn't suspect the woman of a crime, and said the husband had a heart condition.

An autopsy was planned on Tuesday to determine a cause of death, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner's office.

People of the world REJOICE! Satan goes to jail!

A naked man in Lake County, Fla., claiming to be Satan was arrested after he threatened to kill a sheriff's deputy and then injured the man in a neighborhood street, according to a police report.

Roy Lee Henson.

Officers responded to complaints of a naked man screaming in the streets Monday in the area of Wall Street and Grant Avenue in Eustis, Fla.

When deputies arrived, they found Roy Lee Henson walking with his boxer shorts around his ankles and screaming wildly, according to the report. Henson then lunged at a sheriff's deputy, the report said. Backup officers arrived and took Henson into custody as the man screamed he was Satan. The sheriff's deputy suffered minor injuries when he was kicked during the struggle with Henson, according to the report. Henson has been booked into the Lake County Jail on $10,000 bond. He faces charges of aggravated assault on a officer, resisting arrest with violence, exposure of sexual organs and disorderly conduct.


*** Looks like from the picture in the story Satan also got his booty kicked!!! But what a GREAT hairstyle!!!

Yet another reason to dislike the Bush administration

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith has an unusual bedfellow in the Supreme Court fight over her late husband's fortune: the Bush administration.

The administration's top Supreme Court lawyer filed arguments on Smith's behalf and wants to take part when the case is argued before the justices.

The court will decide early next year whether to let the U.S. solicitor general share time with Smith's attorney during the one hour argument on February 28.

Smith, a television reality star and native Texan, plans to attend the court argument.

She is trying to collect millions of dollars from the estate of J. Howard Marshall II, the oil tycoon she married in 1994 when he was 89 and she was a 26-year-old topless dancer in Houston. Marshall died in 1995.

Like Marshall, President Bush was a Texas oil man. Both attended Yale. Both held government positions in Washington.

There are differences. Marshall had a penchant for strippers, and the court record before the justices is one of poverty, greed, sex and family rivalry.

A federal bankruptcy judge sided with Smith in the fight over her late husband's estate, awarding her $474 million. That was reduced to about $89 million by a federal district judge, then thrown out altogether by a federal appeals court.

The issue before the high court is one only lawyers would love: when may federal courts hear claims that involve state probate proceedings. Smith lost in Texas state courts, which found that E. Pierce Marshall was the sole heir to his father's estate.

The Bush administration's filings in the case are technical. Without getting into the details of the family squabble, Solicitor General Paul Clement said that the justices should protect federal court jurisdiction in disputes.

Filings are due next month by groups backing E. Pierce Marshall.

*** Why oh why is this waste of oxygen still getting any mileage out of this?!?! She deserves nothing as a matter of fact she deserved to have to pay for ALL legal feels! As Kanye West said, "Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger..."

Time to meet your maker

AP) Michael Vale, the actor best known for his portrayal of a sleepy-eyed Dunkin' Donuts baker who said "Time to make the doughnuts," has died. He was 83.

Vale died Saturday in New York City of complications from diabetes, according to son-in law Rick Reil.

Vale's long-running character, "Fred the Baker," for the doughnut maker's ad campaign lasted 15 years until he retired in 1997.

Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Donuts said in a statement that Vale's character "became a beloved American icon that permeated our culture and touched millions with his sense of humor and humble nature."

Vale was born in Brooklyn and studied acting at the Dramatic Workshop in New York City with classmates Tony Curtis, Ben Gazzara and Rod Steiger.

A veteran of the Broadway stage, film and television, Vale appeared in more than 1,300 TV commercials.

** Well another American Icon has passed. Best wishes to all who knew him!!
