Superior - Wisconsin police have shot and killed a Minnesota man who they say raised his gun as officers tried to investigate him for an attempted car theft.
The man was identified Saturday as 34-year-old Luke Daniel Anderson of Duluth.
Superior police responding to a call Friday were told that a man took a woman's car keys at gunpoint. »Read Full Article
Police identify shooting victims
Two men who were shot and killed on Friday evening near N. 40th St. and W. Glendale Ave. were identified as Davion D. Smith, 21, and Tyrone K. Brown, 22, Milwaukee police said late Saturday.
Police on Friday said the shootings may have been drug-related. They were not releasing any additional information Saturday night.
Officers had been called to the area after the 21-year-old victim approached passers-by and told them he had been shot. The man died at the scene. Officers searching the area found the second shooting victim, who also died.
Police said they believe both men were shot at the same location. (7)
Development task force for Park East planned
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele is forming a city-county task force aimed at attracting development to the Park East corridor, Abele's office announced late Saturday. Abele will formally unveil the joint effort Monday during his first "state of the county" speech.
"To learn from Kohl's decision and to make sure we're ready for the next opportunity, I have tasked the county's director of economic development to work with the Department of City Development commissioner to create a Park East Advisory Workgroup," Abele says in an excerpt from his prepared Abele's speech says.
The county and city worked together on an incentive package in an attempt to persuade Kohl's to relocate its corporate headquarters to the Park East, but the national retailer decided not to accept the deal. That joint effort, however, could advance future effortsat attracting development. »Read Full Article(9)
Most top Abele managers paid more than predecessors
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, who got into office promising to pinch pennies, pays five of his top dozen managers more than 10% above those who had the jobs before he took office nearly a year ago.
The biggest boost went to Amber Moreen, Abele's chief of staff, whose $115,000 pay is 50% more than Tom Nardelli got as Gov. Scott Walker's chief of staff before Walker was elected governor.
Other key Abele lieutenants whose pay far outstrips their predecessors at the county include Human Resources Director Kerry Mitchell, whose $130,000 salary is 31% higher than her predecessor; and Maria Ledger, who heads the county's Department of Family Care, and whose $119,000 pay is 28% higher than what she earned in the same job before Abele was elected last April. »Read Full Article(90)
MPS, nonprofits and students rally against violence
Clayvon Howard spent most of his middle school years with the wrong crowd - smoking, drinking and occasionally getting into fights. Until eighth grade, when he turned to a different group of friends, he was what he calls a "hood rat."
"My other friends showed me that I can change it," Howard said. "I can be whatever I want to be."
Saturday, the Washington High School of Information Technology senior stood tall with this message of change while serving as an emcee for an anti-violence rally hosted by his high school. The rally brought together city officials like Mayor Tom Barrett and Ald. Willie Hines, Milwaukee Public School administrators, Milwaukee students, community youth organizations, and nonprofit groups like Peace for Change Alliance. All gathered together for one common cause. »Read Full Article(36)
Morning fire destroys Muskego duplex
Tenants were not home Saturday when fire destroyed a Muskego barn that had been converted to a duplex.
The fire began about 9:30 a.m. in the bedroom of one of the units of the building near the corner of Martin and Southern drives, said Tess Corners Asst. Fire Chief Mike Wojnowski. Neither of the single occupants of each unit were home at the time. He said the fire was not put under control until 2:30 p.m. because of numerous voids resulting from the barn conversion, and the use of rolled up newspapers and saw dust as insulation.
Wojnowski said four engines and two ladder trucks from Tess Corners responded, as well as tankers and other equipment from four other departments. He said there were no hydrants near the scene. He said the cause of the fire was listed as undetermined.
Braun warmly received, has 'lot of fun'
Phoenix -- After a nightmarish offseason of living through a positive drug test and appeal that leaked publicly, Ryan Braun finally had some fun Saturday.
Braun took part in the Brewers' first full-squad workout, and he was warmly received by a gauntlet of fans as he went out for the workout and returned. He received applause and shouts of encouragement, and stopped on his way in to sign dozens of autographs.
"It felt incredible and I truly appreciate everyone's support," said Braun after the long day. "That's one of the reasons why I've been able to make it through this challenging situation. That truly meant a lot to me. It was really cool." »Read Full Blog Post(32)
Brewers have big day in ticket sales
Phoenix -- The Brewers' "Arctic Tailgate" was an overwhelming success Saturday as was the first day of ticket sales for individual games in 2012
As of 3 p.m., the Brewers sold a total of 1,587,000 tickets overall for 2012, a franchise record for most tickets sold through the first day of individual-game ticket sales date. The previous record was set in 2009 when 1,555,000 had been sold through the first day of single-game sales (which occurred on Feb. 29 of that year). These totals include season seat, group and individual ticket sales. »Read Full Blog Post(19) MSOE president to grads: 'Don't let your degree be a cage'Fifty-four graduates crossed the stage at the Milwaukee School of Engineering on Saturday, and picked up some advice along the way. "Today, we celebrate the end of one challenge and the beginning of your next adventure," MSOE President Hermann Viets told the graduates at the Kern Center commencement. Some things in life change, he said, but "hard work still counts, deadlines remain critical, leadership and teamwork remain essential, skills still need to be polished, and knowledge still needs to grow." »Read Full Blog Post(10) Attanasio's support of Ryan Braun remains consistentPhoenix -- Mark Attanasio has been in a delicate situation from the start regarding Ryan Braun's positive drug test, subsequent appeal and exoneration from a 50-game suspension. As principal owner of the Brewers, Attanasio is a baseball official who must be supportive of the game's drug policy. But he also has an obligation to support a player he trusts and wants to put the best team on the field as possible for its fans. Attanasio is diplomatic by nature and experience but remained consistent Saturday in what he has said in support of Braun for some time. »Read Full Blog Post(7) Man accused of strangling boys won't be at own trialMadison - A Madison man accused of strangling his girlfriend's two young sons apparently won't be present during his upcoming trial. David Hoem is representing himself in the deaths of 3-year-old Kemaury McArthur and 4-year-old Kevin McArthur July 5. At a Tuesday hearing, the 28-year-old said he would no longer participate in the case after Dane County Circuit Judge William Hanrahan rejected his request to pursue an insanity defense. »Read Full Article(4) MSO takes on James BondJames Bond - or at least the music that has accompanied the character's film exploits - arrived at Uihlein Hall Friday evening. The Milwaukee Symphony Pops presented the music of James Bond, led by guest conductor Carl Davis and joined by vocalist Mary Carewe. The program traced much of the Bond franchise history through such songs as Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die," Marvin Hamlisch's "Nobody Does It Better" and "GoldenEye" by Bono and The Edge. Davis spoke to the audience between numbers, offering a fact or two about each film, most notably who inhabited the Bond role. »Read Full Article(6) Elliott, Brooks win 39th annual American BirkebeinerHolly Brooks interrupted their European pursuits to race the 39th American Birkebeiner and scored great rewards for their air miles. Tad Elliott andThe former Olympians won the men's and women's freestyle races in the Birkebeiner on Saturday, in nearly ideal conditions on the 50-kilometer course from Cable to Hayward. They led a record field of nearly 9,300 skiers who were encouraged to "ski like Landgraf" at the start line in Cable. The message was delivered by Laurie Landgraf the widow of Dave Landgraf, who had skied in every Birkie before being killed in a bike crash in August. »Read Full Blog Post Judge blocks crackdown on roll-your-own cigarette machinesMadison - A Dane County judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking a state crackdown on roll-your-own cigarette machines. Robert Petersen, owner of Rib Mountain Tobacco and Liquor, filed a lawsuit last year after the state Department of Revenue told machine owners they need manufacturing and distribution permits to operate. Petersen argues machine owners sell loose tobacco and leave the manufacturing to customers. Judge Juan B. Colas issued a temporary restraining order blocking DOR's crackdown in October. On Friday, Colas granted Petersen's motion for a temporary injunction. The decision means the state crackdown remains stalled and signals the case will continue to a hearing on a permanent prohibition. DOR spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis says agency officials are disappointed.(20) Promise Ring delivers joyous reunion showIt was a night 10 years in the making, the highly anticipated return of one of Milwaukee's seminal bands, the Promise Ring. And nothing, not even the unexplained impairment of singer Davey von Bohlen's voice, would get in the way. "We were sitting backstage and thinking before the show, a professional in this case would just cancel," von Bohlen told the crowd Friday at a sold-out Turner Hall Ballroom, after belting out "B is for Bethlehem" with his strained pipes. "Fortunately, we're not professionals." That may be the case - only bassist Scott Schoenbeck plays music full time with Dashboard Confessional. But Von Bohlen's inconsistent voice aside, the band - live and revived a decade after a bitter break-up and seven years after its last one-off performance - sounded just as good, sometimes even better, than it did on its influential albums. »Read Full Article(3) Authorities identify victim of fatal Shawano County crashA motorist killed in a head-on crash in Shawano County has been identified by authorities as Michael J. Buckbee, 27, of Clintonville. The crash was reported shortly before 2:20 p.m. Friday on State Highway 22 near County Road Y in the Town of Belle Plaine, according to a news release from the Shawano County Sheriff's Office. According to the release, Buckbee was driving a sedan headed south on Highway 22 that crossed the centerline and struck a northbound minivan driven by a 52-year-old Shiocton woman. Buckbee, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was taken to a hospital and her condition was not available. Door County suspends administrator amid ethics probeA Door County government committee suspended the county's administrator Friday night after voting to launch an ethics investigation concerning the administrator's conduct. Michael Serpe. 62, was put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the review, the Door County Advocate reports. Details were sparse. County Board Chairman Leo Zipperer told the Advocate that "the allegations that something is happening rose to the level of discipline, and now we need to see where it may go." Serpe was chief of staff to the Kenosha County executive from 1998 to 2006 when he was hired as Door County administrator. He told the Advocate he was not invited to Friday's Administrative Services Committee meeting and had no idea what prompted it.(8) Gang's all here at Brewers campPhoenix -- The Brewers will hold their first full-squad workout of the spring today, and all players have reported to camp. The last to show was shortstop Alex Gonzalez, who arrived Friday. Before hitting the field, the Brewers are holding their annual "meet and greet" meeting in which everyone is introduced and certain presentations are made. As usual, owner Mark Attanasio also will address the players before taking the field. With the appeal verdict of Ryan Braun behind them as well as Braun's news session Friday, the Brewers hope to get down to business and normalcy as quickly as possible. Braun seemed in good spirits this morning, ready to hit the field and get to work. Check back later for comments from Attanasio about the Braun saga and other matters. (7)

2012 HET National Meet report
2015 will be in Big Country. The details are still being put together.
Remember ther are four regions; Western, Big Country, Central and Eastern.
Maybe you were in Oklahoma City last year and got sun stroke?
John Forkner -
2015 Should be in the Big Country region. So I am told.
Is 2014 really in French Lick? (I had to look it up, too.) I had heard that it was going to be in Auburn, which seems like a much more logical choice and has been there, before.
Actually 50% of the work has to be done within the past national year you enter the car. Per the regulations. A person doesn't even have to turn a wrench on there own car to enter a car. Car can be completed by "professionals" which i have seen a few entered over the years that way. The spirit of the "award" was to get more Hudson on the road and motivate people to get their cars restored, setting a goal, rather than sitting in a garage unfinished.
Why not give the overseas members a crack. Australia or New Zealand would be more than capable of putting on just as good a show as you have just had. In February we had an International vintage Car Rally with nearly 1,000 cars in attendance, and it was world class. We have 200 members in N.Z. and there are a lot more in Oz. We could even incorporate a Back-country safari!If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.
Geoff, now that's an idea, I probably wouldn't be able to attend but that would make it a truly International Hudson meet!
Maybe you should contact the National Club Officers? -
The Albright Award was never intended to anoint a restored HET vehicle with prestige. As Russ indicated, Bill simply wanted to "... get more Hudson(s) on the road..." The large number of cars qualifying for the award this year would have pleased Bill. He would have walked around each car, quietly noting each piece of trim, color of paint or detail that was not appropriate for the model and/or year. Yet, he would have congratulated every entrant for rescuing another Hudson from the crusher.
We entered a 52 Hornet in the Albright Award at Oklahoma City after a two year restoration process that required ~3,400 hours. As a result, I am very well acquainted with the effort and cost required. The moderator who holds an unfavorable view of the award might want to consider that some of us restore the cars for reasons other than winning any award. For me, it was sufficient to simply park the 52 in the Albright Award zone as a tribute to Bill's vision.
BillBill -
I, quite frankly - Disagree.
The Albright Award was/is intended to act as an incentive to get & keep Hudsons on the road - and to keep them 'Hudson'...
From the original premise, it has evolved. A few of the requirements (gleaned from above -HET Site link to the 'Albright Rules' is not functioning (?)) -
- 50% of the restoration accomplished has to be since the last / previous National;
- At least $2,000 has to have been spent on the build/restore in those 12 months previous;
From what I am reading, that essentially means is that:
- Someone who spent 5+ years rebuilding/restoring their car, does not qualify for the Albright Award, since simple math will tell you that a maximum of only 20% of the build/restore was done in any given year;
- Someone who buys a Hudson in May, goes to Earl Scheib's and has a professional paint job done, puts some seat covers on, gets his clutch rebuilt, etc., (as long as it totals more than $2K), and brings it to the National qualifies to submit it for the Albright Award (as long as it is Hudson powered).
Yup - sounds fair to me... -
Please note that we have always tried to feature the "Albright Eligible" cars equally in the WTN and note that these cars are not "judged" but only reviewed for eligibilty for the draw. We always point out that the cars are considered equal and that the winner of the draw did not win because he or she had the 'best' car.
I always enjoy seeing the "Albright Eligible" cars. If there was no award we could have a roped-off area for "recently restored cars," which amounts to the same thing. It's great to see what people have been up to...firstname.lastname@example.com (drop the HET) -
WOW!!! Are we ever making more out of this Albright thing than was intended or needed. Bill was (most often) a great guy to be around. He loved Hudsons and they had been a major part of his life. If you ever visited the shop in Fontana on Route 66 you would understand his passion. Bill restored some very fine cars, he put a lot of simply great Hudsons back on the road and he was a part of every venue of the hobby. I was at his shop one week and he was preparing a solid driver hudson with three carbs for the races that weekend. Bill always had time to show you around, give great advice and provide you with parts and the Hudson experience you expected. He did this at his shop and at every show that I had the opportunity to attend with him. It is great that his grandson Jason is carrying on the vision. I considered it an honor to park my car with the other Albright cars in Oklahoma City. It was never about winning or loosing--it was about meeting the standard of bringing a Hudson for others to see and enjoy as much as I do. By the way, my Oklahoma car took three years to restore. Oklahoma was its first show and no one ever asked how much I spent each month or who painted my car. Locks, keys and rules are to keep people honest. The folks who review the Albright cars do a fantastic job of applying the standards. I am proud to say that I have had three Albright candidates over the past five years. Knowing Bill as I did gives me just a bit of brotherhood knowing that we have the same vision about Hudsons. Buy one, make it stop, make it go and make it presentable--BUT, whatever you do drive one today!!!!Brownie
Technically what you are saying is correct. It occured to me some time ago that my car would not qualify for the Albright, since it took too long.
That said, the one's who administer the Albright (like Lew Bird) are not "parking lot Nazis" about the "rules". That's what you get at the AACA, exactly what Mr. Marks did not want, when he included the "no judging" edict.
I'm pretty sure they'll let me include it in the draw, as the most important parts of Bill's wishes are intact, at least $2000 was spent within the last year, and I most definitely saved another Hudson from being compost (and it's Hudson-powered). Hell, Bill helped me find some much needed and hard to get parts before he passed. -
Not quite accurate Rick. The car must have been a non-running condition car. A clutch and paint job are just maintainence/repair and would not qualify. A handfull of cars have been disqualified by that standard over the years
Russ, I see nothing in the rules about the car having to have been a non-running car. Nor do I find anything saying that the $2,000 must have been spent within the past year. Only that a "substantial" portion of the work must have been done within the past year. And certainly, though not stated, the work should have been such that it made a significant improvement in the car's condition.
I will make it easy. Basically if is a grade three car it better be completely restored. Grade 4 or 5 its a no brainer it has to be restored to make it a driving car. You cant take a number 3 driver car and paint it and expect to enter. People have tried and got the boot. Some poeple dont know the difference from a repair and restoration.
Park the $2000 requirement had been on the previous forms and it didn't have to be in the last year. (dont know were u got that at) -
Park. Interesting you say that it does not have to be completed in the year time frame. When I applied in Madison, I was Infatically told by the administrator that one of the reasons my car did not qualify was that it haden't been restored substantially within the year. I'll have to pull the application I kept to see if it agrees with the statement Then again, the issue of not allowing my car in was political and I complained loud enough that the decision was overturned by Mike Cherry. So, my experience is such that I believe that even the politics of the Albright stipend is opposed to the founding no-competition concept

TORRINGTON >> A 59-year-old Shelton man caught with synthetic marijuana and bath salts in his luxury SUV in Torrington Wednesday intended to sell the recently banned substances, police said.
Torrington police spokesman Lt. Michael Emanuel said Ronald Scheibel, of 41 Soundview Dr., was arrested around noon in the 200 block of Main Street. The arrest is part of a "lengthy and still ongoing investigation" into the distribution of the substances in the city, Emanuel said.
Scheibel was stopped by officers while driving his 2009 Lexus RX 350 SUV and found to be in possession of more than 100 pouches of commercially packaged synthetic marijuana, Emanuel said. He was also in possession of more than 12 containers of bath salts and more than $1,100 in cash, Emanuel said.
Scheibel distributes convenience store items across Connecticut, including smokeless/electronic cigarettes, phone cards and vending machine products.
Police also seized and impounded Scheibel's Lexus.
Scheibel was charged with possession of controlled substances (synthetic marijuana), possession of controlled substances with intent to sell, possession of a controlled substance in a school zone, possession of a controlled substance (Methylenedioxypryrovalerone, commonly known as bath salts) and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell (bath salts).
He is being held on $50,000 bond.
Emanuel said further details on the case aren't being immediately released because the investigation is ongoing.
Connecticut passed regulations in 2012 making synthetic marijuana and similar substances illegal. Continued...
According to the state Department of Consumer Protection, synthetic marijuana can cause hallucinations, dangerously elevated heart rate and blood pressure, panic attacks and other symptoms.
Bath salts were also made illegal in 2012 by legislators. Bath salts can cause similar symptoms as synthetic marijuana, including hallucinations, according to the DCP.

Ryan undecided on Jets' starting QB

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Mark Sanchez was once the face of the franchise, the quarterback expected to lead the New York Jets to a long-awaited Super Bowl appearance.
There were lofty comparisons to Joe Namath just two years ago. Now, Sanchez might not even be the starter anymore. Rex Ryan is in quite the quarterback quandary, undecided on whether it will be Sanchez, Greg McElroy or Tim Tebow under center Sunday at Jacksonville.
"Well, I think right now," Ryan said Monday, "I definitely need a little more time to make that decision."

Awesome Battery Breakthrough At MIT
The problem with electric cars has been the low life cycle of a battery charge and the time take to re-charge. It makes for really bad longer trips. Well those headaches could be a thing of the past, thanks to MIT:
A new battery design developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could transform the way electric vehicles and the power grid store and discharge energy.
The MIT News Office reported that the new architecture suspends the active electrical components of a battery, such as positive and negative electrodes, as particles in a liquid. This black electric sludge, which resembles petroleum, has been dubbed "Cambridge crude" by its inventors.
The new design, called a "semi-solid flow cell," could allow electric vehicles to refuel by pumping the used electric sludge out and replacing it with fully charged electric sludge. Researchers say the new battery design should also make it possible to reduce the size and the cost of a complete battery system, making electric cars more competitive with contemporary gas-powered cars.
The new battery architecture is described in a paper published May 20 in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. It combined the basic structure of flow batteries with the high energy potential of lithium-ion batteries.
The potentials of this new "sludge" is really exciting. Imagine if they can harness enough power from it that eventually they could just pump it into our houses as our primary power source. That's a possibility with this invention and proves that we still have researchers thinking "outside the box" when it comes to our future energy needs.

Doctors at Children's Hospital will perform surgery on Paxton Akins' brain on Tuesday. It will be the 2-year-old Oklahoma boy's 22nd surgery.
Paxton was born prematurely, over three months early. He was only about as big as an adult's hand and weighed 1 pound 10 ounces, but he beat the odds and survived.
"It was only a 10 percent chance at the time that he would make it," said Brianne Akins.
Now at almost 3-years-old, he is once again fighting for survival. Akins has spent every moment of the past two weeks watching over her son's hospital bed.
"He's the happiest kid alive," said Akins.
After three months in the neo-natal intensive care unit Paxton went on to lead a normal life, but after his first birthday his mom said she noticed something was wrong. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and doctors found a cyst in the back of his head.
"It's just so hard," said Akins.
Paxton's brain has been operated on 21 times.
"He always looks at me and kind of grins like, 'Yeah, I got this mom,'" said Akins.
She said she is optimistic about his Tuesday surgery.

Recap: Hawks soar by Mavs late after costly miscues
Recap: Hawks 105 at Mavericks 101
Hawks soar by Mavs late after costly miscues
DALLAS — Although the Dallas Mavericks rode the momentum of two wins to begin their five-game homestand into Monday night's contest against the visiting Atlanta Hawks, there was not a sense of satisfaction in the home locker room.
Still sitting 4 1/2 games behind Houston for the eighth and final playoff position in the Western Conference standings with 50 games in the books, the Mavericks knew that they had no other choice but to remain focused and continue surging ahead on the American Airlines Center court while looking to continue their dominance in front of the hometown fans. Instead, they would take an untimely step backwards, falling to a hard-fought 105-101 defeat.
"We've just got to learn from these things and get better," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle emphatically said after another loss by a narrow margin. "We have gotten better, but we haven't broken the threshold that's gonna make us a team that can really become a dangerous team. I think we're a dangerous team, I think we can beat anybody on any given night, but the consistency has got to be better."
The Mavericks (22-29) would face some early adversity, falling behind 10-0 out of the gate while missing their first six shots of the night. Leading scorer O.J. Mayo then did his best to match ex-Mav Devin Harris at the other end of the floor, taking charge of Dallas' scoring responsibilities after the slow start. Still, even despite Mayo's hot start while scoring eight points in the period, the Mavericks faced an uphill climb after committing six turnovers in the quarter to trail 31-23 after one.
"The game was lost in the first three minutes. We were down 10-nothing. We weren't ready to play," Carlisle added. "If you want it simple, that's simple. And it's on me. I didn't have our guys ready to play, so I'm taking all the responsibility for this. You've got a team of guys that just goes out there kind of walking around at the beginning of the game. That's on the coach."
Mayo continued his assault on the Hawks (28-22) to start the second stanza, but the visitors maintained their separation on the scoreboard while pushing the lead back out to double figures. Then it was as if a light switch was flipped on inside of both 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki and sixth man Vince Carter as they would rally the Mavs while climbing back to within one, 49-48, entering the halftime intermission.
"Everything was a little too easy for them," Nowitzki explained. "We missed like the first three or four shots, had some turnovers, got blocked once or twice, and yeah, it was a rough start for sure. Fought way back decent, actually, towards the half. We were probably fortunate to go into halftime and only be down one."
Led by Mayo's 13 first-half points on 6-of-9 shooting, the Mavs remained in the game despite connecting on just 45.7 percent from the field compared to Atlanta's 50 percent at the other end. The Mavs also hit on 5 of 12 from behind the 3-point arc at the midway mark, making up for the Hawks' 25-20 rebounding margin and 28-18 advantage in points in the paint.
Replacing rookie center Bernard James with veteran big man Elton Brand, Carlisle right away looked for a different beginning to the third quarter than the start of the game. Meanwhile, Nowitzki began to go to work while keeping the Mavs within an arm's reach, joining Mayo and four-time All-Star Shawn Marion in double figures in the process.
Point guard Darren Collison's and-one jumper then tied the game at 64-all before immediately being answered by Harris' 3-pointer. Hawks forward Josh Smith and Carter then exchanged triples before Atlanta began to gain some separation, jumping back ahead by eight before a 7-0 spurt by the Mavs to close the third down 82-81.
A 1-of-2 trip to the free throw line for Carter immediately tied the game to begin the final 12 minutes of play. After a defensive stop, the Mavs then grabbed their first lead of the night at 84-82 on rookie Jae Crowder's jumper. But the Mavs' offense would soon grow stagnant before Nowitzki led the break after collecting a steal, feeding Mayo for a thunderous one-handed slam after a score inside by Al Horford to tie the game. Backup big man Brandan Wright then did his best to keep the Hawks at bay, scoring five straight for the Mavs before the Hawks rallied yet again to tie the game at 91-all on Smith's 3 with 5:43 still on the clock.
After Anthony Tolliver and Nowitzki both split a pair of free throws, the game remained tied until back-to-back Horford scores with just 2:01 left to play. A driving slam by Mayo then brought the Mavs within one possession, until Smith drained his fourth 3 of the night to make it a 99-94 score in Atlanta's favor.
Two free throws by Nowitzki then put the Mavs down three with 1:14 left for a comeback. He then muscled in a basket inside with 44.1 seconds remaining, bringing the Mavs within one. But the Mavs would lose the momentum after Mayo stole the ball before committing a turnover of his own at the other end after Harris tracked him down for a theft, leading to a Nowitzki foul on Smith, who hit two free throws to make it a three-point game with 22.2 seconds for the home team to answer.
Another turnover by Mayo would follow, however, attempting to force the ball to Carter before Jeff Teague intercepted the pass, leading to Brand's foul on the point guard, who calmly hit two free throws before Nowitzki rushed down to the other end to connect on a 3 with 6.4 ticks remaining.
"Just got to take care of the ball," a disappointed Mayo said after his costly miscues. "With Harris chasing me down, and Dirk said it. He was telling me, but when the crowd was going, it's a pretty good play on his end. And then the one to Vince, I should have read that switch and maybe took Horford off the dribble. It was just an opportunity for us to win the game and we've got to take care of the ball better."
"They just made more plays than us down at the end," Mayo concluded. "Obviously, we're disappointed. It was a winnable game, but we didn't make the plays down at the end and they made some plays."
"It's the story of our season," Nowitzki added. "Down the stretch, we had our chances and for some reason we can never pull those close games out. We've been better a little bit at home, but that's just a game we've got to have no matter what happens. You've got to find a way to win that game. Little mistakes add up. … We've got to execute a little bit better down the stretch. It sounds stupid, everybody says it, but what it comes down to in this league is execution down the stretch in big games and close games."
Finishing with his second-highest points total of the season, Nowitzki tallied up 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting and had a 3-of-4 night from 3-point range.
Mayo added 19 points on 9-of-20 shooting, but committed four turnovers on the night. Meanwhile, Collison — who also dished out a game-high 10 assists — registered 14 points, Carter pitched in 13 points, Wright contributed 11 points and Shawn Marion added 10 points as the Mavs finished with six scorers in double figures.
Smith led the Hawks with 26 points on 10-for-15 shooting and 4 of 5 from 3-point range, adding 13 rebounds and six assists for the double-double. The Hawks also outshot the Mavs on the night, 51.9 percent to 42.7 percent, in addition to a 48-37 rebounding advantage, a 42-36 margin in points in the paint and a 26-14 edge in fast-break points. Atlanta overcame Dallas' 22 points off 18 Hawks' turnovers as well by converting the Mavs' 12 giveaways into 17 points at the other end of the floor.
"You know, it was a tough game," Marion concluded. "They started out really good. They're very athletic and very quick. It was a little deceiving to us at times and it took us a little while to adjust to them, but for the most part we were able to get back into the game and catch a rhythm. But we never really could get that big lead like we wanted that we normally get. They're a tough and talented team over there, and you've got to give them credit. They won this game."
"Look, this is not about one guy doing a few good things," Carlisle added. "We've got to really be tough, we've got to be really together, and we weren't tonight. And that was disappointing."
Note: The Mavs will now try to get back on track before heading into the All-Star break, welcoming in the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night to the American Airlines Center. The Mavs lead the season series between the two squads 2-0. The game will air locally on Fox Sports Southwest at 7:30 p.m. CT. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling (214) 747-MAVS (6287) or by visiting Mavs.com.

The mapping, wayfinding, and patient engagement features provide patients and visitors with compelling indoor maps, location-based content and step-by-step directions. MediNav™ will initially be offered on iPhone, iPad and Android devices, as well as unique in-hospital kiosk solutions for arriving visitors and patients.
"Our goal is to enhance every aspect of our patients' and visitors' experiences. Hospitals are typically very complex structures to navigate, so offering a tool to simplify the process will be a great resource," said Michael Novak, Vice President of Operations and Ancillary Services for Saint Mary's. "Connexient provides an intuitive mobile interface for indoor maps, directions, and relevant hospital content. We are excited to be the first hospital in Connecticut to launch such a patient-centered mobile wayfinding solution," stated Novak.
Mark Green, Connexient CEO and Co-Founder, commented: "We're excited to have Saint Mary's as our first beta partner because we share a vision for how healthcare systems will communicate with patients and visitors in the future."

It didn't take long for word to spread that Hostess is going out of business, meaning the end of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and other signature treats as we know them. YNN's Lori Chung has more on how customers are taking the news.
WATERVLIET, N.Y. -- I'm putting it in the freezer for my kids for their lunches," said Jean Vooris, a Troy resident.
Jean Vooris left the Hostess Thrift Store in Watervliet with a trunk load: bread, HoHo's, muffins and lots of other treats.
Now that Hostess announced that it is closing after more than 80 years in business, customers are stocking up.
"I'm very shocked, but the cashier in there said that she's been going since she opened up this morning, she hasn't left her spot," said Tracey Murray,from Waterford.
Even as tons of Hostess goods fly off the shelves at stores, the one thing that customers seem to have a hard time finding is the iconic Twinkie. Like everything else now, a thing of the past.
"I didn't see any Twinkies inside so I took the Hostess Cupcakes," said Pam Barra-Harter, from East Greenbush.
The company is ceasing production on other iconic brands like Wonder Bread, Drakes cakes, Ding Dongs and Sno Balls. Stores will be closed by the end of the next week. More than 18,000 workers will now be out of a job.
"We're really upset, really upset," said Murray.
A sentiment that has many doing to their best to hold on to a piece of nostalgia before it's gone.

My husband and I are going furniture shopping tomorrow and I am beyond excited! When we first moved, we bought a futon. This just doesn't work for me. We would have had a used set from my mother-in-law, but the puppers literally chewed it to pieces. Sure the futon was fine when we were in college, but now that we're older we're ready for real furniture. Not to mention more comfy furniture too! I thought I would share my living room idea with you.
I really like this color palette because I feel it has the ability to be very versatile. You can paint your walls cream or grey and use all the other colors as accents. Or you can be bold and paint your walls navy blue or pea green and use the yellow, grey, and cream as accents. It's totally up to you and that is what I love about this palette.
I'm not saying that this is exactly what I want to do. I'll probably change my mind tomorrow. The one thing that I am sure about is the grey couch. I don't want black or brown because I think it darkens the room and I really don't want that. I'll be sure to post pictures of what we choose!
Let me know what you think of the color palette!

2. | in bed | ||
Words than can be added to the end of any sentence to make an insult worthy of Winston Churchill. Raam : "This discombobulator has abashed my thermalogical knowledge erudition"
Steve: IN BED! Pooj: ooooooooo cussssed |
1. | in bed | ||
Phrase used after reading a fortune cookie. Helpful when wanting to get laid. "You have very good skills and exceptional talents" in bed.
3. | in bed | ||
1) To be in a bed.
2) Words added to the end of a sentence (or even better, a fortune cookie!) to make it more... interesting. Since all his friends were busy, Shawn had to have fun alone. IN BED! See?
4. | In bed | ||
Two words that can be put at the end of a sentence to turn it into sexual humor. Much like thats what she said. Bob: Damn, I always get way too excited and ruin everything
Rob: In bed |
5. | in bed | ||
Words added to the end of any sentence to make it sound dirty. Works best when no one is expecting it, but always leads to an entertaining conversation. Overuse may cause your friends to pretend they're annoyed, but really they don't know what they'd do without you constantly twisting everything. When used in conjunction with that's what she said it can make class a lot more fun; especially choir because lyrics and vocal excerises are perfect source material. Abbreviated I.B. Person 1: "She's very talented."
Person 2: "In bed!" Person 1: "Make it look good!" Person 2: "In bed!" ...you get the idea |
6. | In bed | ||
A funny add-on to any fortune cookie reading. When a friend or family member reads their fortune, add on the words "in bed" to that fortune. It makes any fortune a funny fortune!! 1: You shall find great success in the coming months...
2: In bed!!! Everyone: Hahahahahaha.... |
7. | In Bed | ||
Something you can add to any sentence in the world and make it sound related to sex. Try it, it works. :] Can make any conversation amusing. Dude: Hey, what time should I fix your computer?
Dude 2: In bed. Dude: Hey, I saw your mom at that restaurant last night. Dude 2: In bed. Dude: Hey, stop jumping on my sister! Dude 2: In bed. |

06-18-2012,07:46 PMRumors have been running rampant on various sites with people who all somehow have Cast Member inside sources. A popular one has Be Our Guest opening in October with reservations starting in August. Another rumor has it opening a week before Thanksgiving with reservations opening at some point in September. And the last rumor I saw has it still at some point during the "holiday" season but that as soon as they announce the opening, the reservations would start immediately. In my opinion we have to take all of them with a grain of salt until we start seeing significant finishing work on that entire area. I couldn't see Disney opening a restaurant up for reservations unless they were 100% sure that the area would be done in time.

2006 - Proposed In Front of Cinderella's Castle
2007 - Married at Disney's Boardwalk Resort
2009 - New Owner of Bay Lake Tower
2010 - First Trip to Disneyland
It was reported last week on the Disney Parks Blog that Be Our Guest Restaurant would be opening Holidays 2012. It was part of the announcements for openings of the Fantasyland Expansion. I started a thread on it, in case you are interested in the other openings dates. http://dvcnews.com/forum/showthread....land-Expansion

Testers?? – 06-18-2012,10:40 PMHa... I wonder if they do test runs before they open.. If anybody is listening.. I volunteer my family as test diners!! I'll even pay for it!! HAHA..
You know, actually when Yak and Yeti opened, I forget the exact date they had announced when they'd start taking reservations (I know it was sometime in December of 2007). Well, on a whim, I called about a week beforehand, because I happened to be in WDW at the time. Surprisingly, they took my reservation and I ate at Yak and Yeti 6 days before the announced opening of reservations.
For Be Our Guest, I hope "Holidays" means before Halloween. I'll be at WDW for Halloween and would love to eat at BOG then. The CS part during the day would be fine with me.
I hope they do have a soft opening like Dorothy (simbasmom) mentioned for Yak & Yeti. Of course, we run the risk that problems could pop up, but that still could be a unique experience.
BTW is that area still walled off from the public? I imagine that when the walls come down I'll be checking the dining online website for BOG and perhaps calling the dining line to see if reservations are being accepted.
And yes, Dorothy, even eating at the QS for lunch would make me happy.--Denise

This is the hat that uses evaporation to keep your head up to 30� F cooler than outside air temperature. The hat works by first running it under cool water and shaking off the excess. Its 100% polyester microfiber suede conducts body heat outward, while retaining the cool water and releasing it slowly through evaporation, cooling your head. Its ventilated crown also provides cooling. With a suede cinch and braided cord around the wide 3" brim. It also provides a sun protection rating of UPF 50+--the highest possible--and its wide 3" brim protects your face and neck from the sun's harmful UV rays. Imported. Khaki. (2 oz.)
To get the proper fit in a hat, we recommend that you measure your head to determine your proper hat size.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Evaporative Cooling Brimmed Hat comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I purchased this hat to wear around the house and yard for light work around the pool, etc. I liked the idea of being able to get it wet and have it help keep me cool. I have not gotten it soaked yet, but did get rain on it. So far so good. I wore it to an afternoon business casual wedding and got a ton of compliments and requests for where to get one. That was a good sign, and it looked good with the attire for the day. I have found that it is not comfortable in the car for driving as it hits the headrest, and it is a little warmer than I would like. Once you are out and walking around, it is very nice to have in the sun.
Most Helpful Negative Review
Would not buy again
Hat did not cool as advertised and was completely dry on a twenty minute walk so there wa no water to evaporate in order to cool.

useful hat
By BMore Buyer
from Phoenix
The hat is a nice lightweight and cool way to protect yourself from the sun. Its a replacement for one purchased a few years ago though, and the fabric and coloring of fabric isn't quite as nice as in prior years. The prior hat wore well and many compliments were received -- hopefully the new one will last as well

I got the hat ss a gift and I love it . I wear cowboy hats regularly but in really hot weather, I use this . Scout camp, hiking, riding and out in my yard working. Its keeps me cool. When I soak it in a sink with cold water, it is very cooling. It does evaporate eventually. If you can, wet it down and throw it in a cooler or a freezer for a few minutes. It will get your body temp down fast.
Around the world
By Chaps
from New York, NY
I had a work project that took me on a summer trip to Asia and the Middle East in the middle of the summer. This hat was great in the most intense heat, bright sun and in every country I visited I received compliments.
Terrible odor!

haven't used it yet...it is airing out in the garage due to the bad odor. Must be from the plastic used in the manufacturing.

A dozen of bad tutorials out there that teach you bad habits especially when we speak about PHP. I want to learn how to avoid the things that can lead me to develop inefficient web applications. I like to learn from videos but most videos I've found on the internet are provided by people who do not follow good practices. My second option is to learn from books but I did not find a good book for starters in PHP!
It would be very helpful for me if you can tell me about your story in learning PHP, what are things that I should avoid? How to learn about PHP security from the beginning to avoid unlearn something later on?. Please provide links to books, websites that provide high quality video tutorials for PHP, and you tips for a good start!

Along with the economic downturn, ranchers in many parts of Texas this summer had to deal with drought-like conditions. Sam Nichols recently caught up with a Texas livestock specialist to get an update on the cattle business across the state.
Despite these tough times, most ranchers surveyed say they are determined to stay in the cattle business.

Chill out & tuck in
Eating has always been a huge part of the travel experience, so tantalize your taste buds, tuck in, and really get a taste of the Kaipara and Kauri Coast. Some of the freshest and tastiest meals can be found at our local Café and Restaurants. But wherever you go, make sure you order the local specialty: kumara (sweet potato).
