Currently, the site awaits a $1.6 Million grant from Congress. The National Park Service plans to use the funds for a renovation project to safeguard the home and its historic furnishings...
Imagine 15-year-old Kipland Kinkel in rustic Springfield, Ore., chatting with two buddies on a three-way phone call May 20--probably while his father's corpse lay on the floor, a bullet drilled through his skull. Kip said he couldn't wait to see the new South Park that night, according to Tony McCown, 15, who phoned him. "I wonder when Mom's gonna get home," he fretted. When she finally arrived, he allegedly said, "I love you, Mom," and then unloaded his weapon into her. It was around 6 p.m., and Kip presumably stayed with the bodies...

This month, along with such traditional contests as street luge, skateboarding and in-line skating, the Olympics-style event at San Diego's placid Mission Bay Park includes barefoot waterskiing, sky surfing and big-air snowboarding (yes, it's a summer event). More than 450 athletes from 27 countries will compete for gold medals in 28 events that NASA wouldn't let a monkey try. Last year 14 million amped kids watched, and more are expected to tune...
