Man Utd's weakness in midfield was ruthlessly exposed by Barcelona in the Champions League final.
09 Jun 2009
As all the major competitions are drawing to a close – and bearing in mind the bewildering choice of Ryan Giggs as PFA Player of the Year – I thought now would be an opportune moment to select my team of the season. So, let's take a look at the candidates for goalkeeper. When Shay Given has lined out for Man City he's done very well, but he's not played enough football overall – he had a few injuries early on in the season when he was still with Newcastle.
11 May 2009
In light of some recent shock results, could Liverpool be set to overturn Manchester United's title lead? It's unlikely – but the way things have been going recently, nothing can be ruled out. Meanwhile, Ireland are improving steadily under Trap – and we're well-positioned ahead of two crunch qualifiers

Calif. roller coaster screams exceed decibel limit
Published: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 7:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 7:43 a.m.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California roller coaster appears to have been a little too much fun.
The Gold Striker at Great America in Santa Clara had to be taken offline this week because riders were screaming too loudly.
The San Jose Mercury News reports (http://bit.ly/1aK6QAw ) that the shrieks were exceeding the decibel limit agreed upon in a settlement with Prudential Real Estate, which owns adjacent properties.
So Great America had to cover a portion of the track in a sound-dampening tunnel. The wooden roller coaster reopened on Wednesday after the work was completed.

Richard Simkin
Born on November 5th 1850 and was born in Herne Bay Kent, England, Richard Simkin grew up in Aldershot, Hampshire, marrying his wife, Harriet, in 1880, and it is also believed he was a volunteer in the Artist's Rifles. He was employed by the War Office to design recruiting posters. He is probabaly best know for his series of Army regiments including Yeomanry and Colonial regiments, a weekly supplement print to the Army and Navy Gazette. In 1901 he created a series of 'Types of the Indian Army' for the Gazette. He obtained much of the information from the Colonial and India Exhibition of 1886. Over a period of over 50 years Richard Simkin produced thousands of watercolours of Army uniforms and watercolours of Army life and campaigns. Many of these paintings can be seen in regimental museums and messes. Simkin also contributed illustrations to The Army and Navy gazzette, the Boy's Own Magazine, and The Graphic and many paintings were used in books and publications of Raphael Tuck and Sons. Richard Simkin died on the 25th June 1926 at home at 7 Cavensigh Street, Herne Bay. Many of richard Simkin's antique prints have been reproduced as prints by Cranston Fine Arts and are available from our websites, along with many original antique prints which are hard to find these days.

Once upon the 1950s and 60s, baseball's All-star game was a midsummer night's dream. It was a collision of titans, as never before seen, rivals meeting on the battlefield to decide, once and for all, which league was best. It always counted –an annual measurement of men. It has since lost its luster. On Tuesday, July 16, familiar faces from the American and National leagues will compete beneath the sleepless lights of New York City with home field advantage in the World Series on the line. But missing will be the fire that fueled Pete Rose to pummel Ray Fosse in his quest for home. Lost will be an outfield like Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, and Willie Mays sharing space, but more importantly, a desire to bolster National League supremacy. Gone will be the buzz that used to surround the game. It's not the players' faults. Back then, interleague play didn't exist. The All-Star game truly did represent the only chance for the leagues to compete against the other until the World Series in the fall. They were two separate entities coalescing on a single night –a rarity for fans and players alike. In 2013, interleague play happens literally every day of the season. The novelty is gone. This reached its apex in 2002, when the All-Star game ended in a 7-7 tie and Commissioner Bud Selig waving his hands in the air like he just didn't care –but he did care. A few years later, his office decided to "make it count." Since, home field advantage at the World Series has been the prize. But the game still feels like a Little League exhibition. Everyone plays. Everyone pitches. In an attempt to become more of a showcase and less of a game, it becomes neither. It's time to fix that. And here are five ways to do that: The 2002 featured bro hugs, but no winners. One| Making it Count Bud Selig's World Series Compromise, his promise of "making it count," has created a monster out of the All-Star Game. The fate of championship rings and October dreams can now rest in the hands of players on teams that will never sniff the playoffs in 2013. My point can be summed up in a single, ridiculous truth: Jason Castro the Astro could be the difference, THIS season, between who plays Game Seven of the World Series at home. That has to stop. Because home-field advantage matters. Scott Lindholm of Beyond the Scorecards recently calculated that in the playoff era (when World Series teams weren't simply determined by season-pennant winners), teams with home-field advantage win two-thirds of the time. In juxtaposition, teams with the best record for the entire season, in that same span, won exactly half the time. Home soil matters. Via Scott Lindholm of Beyond the Scorecard But Bud Selig was also right to see that the game had lost any sense of urgency. The will to win had dissipated once the game no longer represented rival leagues tugging for pride. I think that spirit of the midsummer classic can be restored. How? Make the All-Star game impact the AL/NL rivalry. Every season, baseball teams play "cross-town" rivalry games with members of the other league, such as the Subway Series between the Mets and Yankees, or the less intense Padres-Mariners bloodbath (sunshine versus coffee). What if the winning league of the All-Star game got to play all of those games at home the next season? It's only four games. The impact isn't as catastrophic as the World Series, but the impact is surprisingly large. Every level of a baseball organization would be affected by a schedule that gave them two extra games on the road. For management, the format could hurt their bottom line. In 2009, Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle estimated that teams made between $25 million and $149 million from gate receipts (the Yankees being the highest). Per home game, that's a range of $308,642 to $1.84 million. Even two games lost could be quite a dip in precious revenue. For managers and teams, the format could hurt their standings. Jack Jones, a sports gambling guru, computed that between 2006 and 2010, home teams win 55% of the time, road teams 45%. Those two extra road games, ever-so-slightly, could mean a one or two game swing in a team's season. One or two games was the difference between the A's and Rangers last year, and the margin that led to the infamous 2011 collapse of the Red Sox and Braves. Every game matters. And for players, extra travel is never desired. On the line in the All-Star game would be the chance to avoid two road trips, two nights away from home in a hotel room, and to gain two nights in the bed they know, on the schedule they know, in the facilities they know. For creatures of habit, that prize, however small it seems, is huge. It's an All-Star game incentive that could fuel performance without having dangerous, unfair implications on the games that matter most in October. The system for determining home-field advantage has always been flawed, but that is a problem for another post. For now, consider this option, which would actually affect every player from every team for the next season, rather than punishing a future championship contender because a Miami Marlin struck out in the ninth. Just be careful when the game counts. As Ray Fosse discovered, when it counts, it hurts. Cal Ripken made memories in 2001. But should he have been there? Two| The Right to Vote This is the American Pastime. And nothing is more American than a flawed voting system, uninformed voters, and voters casting their ballots multiple times. I realize that. But Al Gore isn't a first-baseman, so let's reconsider baseball's approach. For one, the managers have too much responsibility. As if it isn't enough to be tasked with leading a Major League club in a chase for October, All-Star managers also have to elect the reserves and pitching staffs of the midsummer squads. The logic is that they stand the best chance of making an informed decision. That logic is false. Consider how narrow the scope is for Jim Leyland, AL Manager. Leading the Detroit Tigers, he has played 13 of the 15 AL teams. But many of those series are no more than three games, games in which he is likely hyperfocused on certain pitchers, certain matchups, etc. These small-sample sizes aren't enough to decide who deserves reward for an entire half of the season, and you also can't expect Leyland to spend his nonexistent downtime doing statistical analysis on potential candidates. For this same reason, the player-vote is equally as ineffective. While you would expect them to do well in evaluating their peers, the opposite is true. Much like the fans, they lean toward veterans, good personalities, and names they recognize. Why? Because they aren't watching many games beyond the ones they play –they aren't seeing these players perform. Fans and players alike, instead, vote for their teammates or favorite team's players, for names they know, or they vote based on basic stats like RBIs and Wins that don't tell us much. The result is All-Stars like this: Sandy Alomar, Jr. in 1991 (.217 batting average, 0 HR), Roger Pavlik in 1996 (10-2 record…but a 5.16 ERA), Cal Ripken, Jr. in 2001(.217 batting average, 4 HR, but admittedly a memorable AS Game moment), and Jason Varitek in 2008 (.222 average, .122 in June). Hell, even Derek Jeter got votes this season. He's played as many games for the Yankees this year as I have –and I didn't even get a write-in vote. So who should vote? Not to evoke the ever-terrible modern media, but I think people paid to watch many games of all teams should have the highest percentage of ballots, i.e. Major League GMs, scouts, and national baseball writers/reporters. Coaches and players should still have a say, but the product on the field will be better if the people choosing the players have actually seen them play several times. Or we could leave it up to the Supreme Court. That worked out well. The Dodgers want you to #VotePuig Three| The Right to Vote, Volume II One aspect of the midsummer election should remain in the jurisdiction of the fans. The "Final Vote," with its inception in 2002, gave fans a chance to select the one snub they'd most like to see in the All-Star Game. It's a brilliant ploy for baseball to let the fans decide who they want to see. It should be exciting –a debate and competition on who most deserves a coveted distinction. Unfortunately, managers in the past decade have often given fans a choice that rather than rendering excitement, renders yawns, head-scratches, and proverbial "WTFs." For example, in 2007, fans got to decide the last AL roster spot with choices such as Hideki Okajima (WHO WON), Jeremy Bonderman, Pat Neshek, and Kelvim Escobar. It's a list that barely belongs in a minor-league clubhouse, much less Cooperstown. This year, Jim Leyland trolled fans by letting them pick his SIXTH relief pitcher –household names such as Steve Delabar, David Robertson, Koji Uehara, Tanner Scheppers, and Joaquin Benoit make up the ballot. This is only awesome if one of two things happen: 1) it's actually David Robinson, Spurs Hall-of-Famer, that comes in to pitch, or 2) Hashtag-Yeppers-Scheppers starts trending worldwide in the lead up to tomorrow's deadline. Otherwise, it's a snorefest. And it doesn't have to be. Even the more exciting votes, such as this year's run-off between NL young-bloods Yasiel Puig and Freddie Freeman, are too limiting. So I propose a new format. Let each team, through a player vote, nominate a snub from their clubhouse that they feel should be an All-Star. For example, the Reds may nominate Jay Bruce, Sin-Shoo Choo, or Corky Miller's mustache. That's 15 players per league. Let the MLB office select a 16th, exciting prospect. Then do it Madden-vote style. Set up a bracket, and let the fans decide. Rather than this week-long snorefest, each day would bring new results, and the final matchup in each league would ultimately produce the player fans most want to see. It gives the MLB much-needed, and constant, exposure, while also adding some intrigue an excitement to a concept that's lost its way. Imagine the players who could have filled out the AL Bracket. Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria (.285/.361 OBP/17 HR/50 RBI/3.5 WAR), Oakland's Josh Donaldson (.316/.385 OBP/15 HR/58 RBI/4.2 WAR) and Texas's Adrian Beltre (.319/.362 OBP/20 HR/52 RBI/3.2 WAR) would all rustle up more attention than Joaquin Benoit. And more importantly, they're also more deserving. That format feels more like the American way –brackets, people's choice, constant, instant results. The current format feels like having a Presidential election, but having to choose between Anthony Wiener, Kim Kardashian, and Prince Fielder's sweaty athletic supporter. All of these, and the current Final Vote system, have something in common. They feel dirty. Prince Fielder brought some sizzle back to a Home-Run Derby that had cooled. Four| Hitting a Home-Run With the competitive fire of the game restored, and Commissioner due to offer me a job any moment now, let's get to the silly stuff. Part of All-Star Break's success, and entertainment, lies within the mini-games. And no mini-game is bigger than the Home Run Derby. Puberty brings three certainties to young boys and girls: hair in new places, growth, and an increasing disinterest in the Home Run Derby. Simply put, the constant long balls become a little boring after three hours when you aren't young enough to find it impossibly awesome. And this had been reflected in television ratings for years. But last year's tweak in the Home Run competition actually reversed that downward spiral. The new pick'em, street ball, format seemed to intrigue the audience young and old. TV ratings went up from 2011, and digital ratings (mostly thanks to ESPN3.com) went up between 15 and 20 percent. It was a step in the right direction –it felt like a competition when the players were picking sides. Let's step it up a notch. Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci already suggested a bracket system of 16 players, in which players would face off in the 10-out rounds. But that can still lead to monotony. Players take pitches, and 10-out rounds turn into marathons. Using the bracket set-up, what if each face-off was a race to 5 home-runs? Think of it like penalty kicks, where players would alternate in smaller, three-out rounds. The one who reached five in the fewest swings would move on. It would add to urgency, and reward those who give us fireworks rather than pacing themselves. That hasn't been the case in the past. The current format has often punished the most exciting bombers. In 2007, Vladimir Guerrero won despite Alex Rios hitting more total home runs. In 2008, it was even more ridiculous; Justin Morneau beat Josh Hamilton despite hitting…thirteen…less home-runs that night. That's no fun. And home-runs should be fun. Not drug-induced. Not slow. Fun. The skills challenge may be strange. But it beats watching Dean Cain play softball. Five| Enough with Celebrity Softball There's room for a better event to make the All-Star spectacle special. The NBA has the three-point contest, and the skills competition. The NHL has players trying to boast the quickest puck. And the NFL needs extra ratings like I need wisdom teeth, so forget about them for once. Celebrity softball doesn't hold a candle to those events. If I wanted to watch 50-year-old retirees and uncoordinated celebrities run around on sand, I'd live in Florida. It's just not exciting. The NBA has a celebrity game, as well. But at least the former players and celebrities can usually run around without requiring oxygen tanks and medical attention. Baseball should follow in the path of the three-point competition. The TV audience may be small, but even the smallest lure brings more eyes to the game, creates more buzz, and creates new household names. Think of the 90s kids who learned to love Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller because of those racks of money balls. Imagine how fun this would be: I call it The Speed-D Competition. Trademark still pending. The premise is simple, but exciting. Teams of two –a pitcher, and a fielder. They face off. One team takes the field while the non-pitcher bats for the other team. They get one swing; the ball could end up anywhere in the stadium. Then, it's a race for home. If they score, they get a point. If their tagged out, the defense does. In the event of a 1-1 or 0-0 tie, the tiebreaker is fastest time around the bases, or fastest tag-out. Just imagine the possibilities, such as Jered Weaver-Mike Trout vs. Stephen Strasburg-Bryce Harper. Tell me you wouldn't watch Harper chase Trout down the third base line. It'd be even better than seeing sausage race across the sand. It'd be high octane; it'd be magic. And ultimately, that's what the All-Star game, and break, is all about. The magic. Once upon a time, long ago, it had the allure of a spectacle you could only see once a year –the stars of two separate galaxies colliding in space. That intangible feeling is tough to resurrect. But sometimes, to recover history, you have to take steps forward. Even baseball can't hide from the 21st Century. So let the All-stars, and this dull midsummer tradition, rediscover its shine.

|All controversy aside on preferred ingredients for cornbread, in my mind there really is only one thing that truly sets southern cornbread apart. It must be cooked in a screaming hot, cast iron skillet.
Southern Skillet CornbreadSkillet cornbread is a southern staple. Baked in a preheated, sizzling hot oiled cast iron skillet, it produces a beautiful crunchy crust on the bottom, and that is what makes it so unique. But cornbread in The South can certainly be cause for debate, that's for sure.
The truth is ... the real secret that makes authentic southern cornbread, is that crusty crunch on the outside that results from fat in the bottom of a screaming hot cast iron skillet. Believe it or not, it's less about the recipe, or whether you use white or yellow cornmeal, flour, or sugar in your cornbread, and much more about the method itself.
Gasp! Did she really just say that??
Why yes indeed, I surely did! If you've got a couple minutes you can read my thoughts as a true born and bred Southerner on The Great Southern Cornbread Debate. Truth is, plenty of Southerners have been using a little bit of flour and even a pinch of sugar in their cornbread since the beginning of cornbread in a skillet. I know some other Southerners don't want to accept that, but from my research, it is true.
Flour adds body and corn just loves sugar and adding just a bit helps to take the edge off of that raw cornmeal flavor. The key there are the words "a little bit." Yankee cornbread is heavy in both flour and sugar, making it very sweet and cake-like. Not a thing wrong with that, but it's not Southern cornbread. If you put just a bit of flour and/or sugar in your Southern cornbread, guess what? It certainly is still Southern cornbread. In fact, if you're from the part of the Deep South where I am from, you likely use a little flour, a pinch of sugar, and only yellow cornmeal - not white - so it's more of a regional thing really as to whether you use white or yellow.
And, speaking of regional, if you are lucky enough to get your hands easily on some true, stone ground cornmeal - well, then all bets are off because to me, that's what makes up real southern cornbread. But that's a whole 'nother topic now isn't it?
So let's put that silly argument to rest until somebody can pull me out a "Southern Cornbread Bible" written by the hand of God himself that says otherwise, and remember that it's just food and cooking, and your way is always the right way when it comes to your kitchen. So let's just get cooking, shall we?
The top recipe below, is a slight adaptation of the "Dixie Cornbread" recipe published in a 1977 Junior League cookbook called "A Taste of Georgia," and was contributed by Mrs. William F. Lee, Jr.
Yes. I have cookbooks from all over The South because, in case y'all haven't figured it out yet, there is no one, single South when it comes to many things, including cooking. Depending on what part of The South you are from, you likely cook something totally different from another part of The South. I mean c'mon... we can't even agree on the pronunciation of the word pecan, because if you live in Georgia you probably say it totally different from how they say it in Texas and certainly from how we say it down here.
Oddly, even some Southerners still don't quite understand these regional differences in certain areas of The South and still think their way is the only right way. I still get told all the time that I'm not doing something "right" here on my own website. In all fairness though, I get it, because truth is, we Southerners don't usually venture all that far from that place where we were born.
Although this Dixie Cornbread does contain a small amount of flour, it adds body, and it is still a more classic version of southern cornbread - more dry with a more prevalent cornmeal texture and corn taste. I like it a lot, though the second recipe at the bottom that contains a little more flour and {gasp} a bit of sugar is also a favorite of mine. They are both equally delicious. For something a little different, try my Buttermilk Sour Cream Cornbread too sometime, including the Mexican version at the bottom of that recipe.
By the way... nobody's gonna take away your Southern card if you don't feel like fooling with preheating a cast iron skillet and trying to turn the cornbread out of it. It really is more than a little awkward to manage a screaming hot, cast iron skillet, no doubt and it doesn't get any better as you get older to manage one. Just make it in an 8 x 8 inch baking pan if you like. I grease it down with Crisco so the cornbread gets that nice crust on the outside, then just add in the 1/4 cup of oil with the batter, pour it in and bake.
Kim said: I just used your [southern light] cornbread recipe, and I must say that is wonderful. It will replace the recipe that I've used for the last 20 years. Thanks so much!
Recipe: Southern Skillet Cornbread©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: About 8 servings
- 1/4 cup of oil, shortening or bacon fat
- 1-1/2 cups of all purpose white or yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 2 cups of buttermilk, more or less
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Add the fat to a well seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet and place the skillet into the oven to melt the fat and heat the skillet. In a bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Using mitts, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and swirl the hot fat around to coat the entire skillet.
Pour the fat from the skillet into the cornmeal mixture; stir. Stir in half of the buttermilk and add the egg; add more buttermilk as needed to make a thick but pourable batter. Depending on the grind of your cornmeal and the type of buttermilk you use, you may not need it all. Fold ingredients and don't beat the batter. Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet. Carefully place directly into the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then very carefully turn the cornbread out onto a plate or platter to preserve that nice crispy crust!
Cook's Notes: If your cast iron is not well seasoned, your cornbread may stick. Slice out of the skillet if you are unsure. Use a medium grind of cornmeal, not a fine grind. Don't beat the batter or your cornbread will be crumbly. If your baking soda is not fresh, you won't get much of a rise. For insurance I've added a teaspoon of baking powder. I store both my baking soda and my baking powder in the freezer. Can substitute milk for the buttermilk, you'll need less. Can also substitute 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal mix. Eliminate the baking soda and salt if you use a cornbread mix. I prefer White Lily brand, buttermilk, white cornbread mix.
Pan Version: If you prefer to make this in a pan, don't worry. Nobody is gonna take away your Southern card. Just grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with vegetable shortening. Mix all of the ingredients together and pour into pan. Bake as above.

Sausage Cheese Cornbread: Add in 1/2 pound of browned breakfast sausage, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 can of cream corn. Add 1/4 cup of finely minced onion and 1 teaspoon of finely minced garlic if desired.
Bacon Cornbread: For bacon cornbread, cook several slices of bacon until crisp. Crumble and add to the batter along with the pan drippings.
Cracklin' Cornbread: Stir about 1/3 cup of finely chopped, fried pork cracklings into the batter before baking.
For Corn Sticks: Melt 1/4 cup of Crisco (or bacon drippings) and mix that into the batter. For corn stick pans, I find cooking spray works the best. I use two of these 7 stick pans per recipe and usually have a little bit leftover, enough for 3 or 4 more sticks after the first 2 trays come out. Spray the corn stick pans generously with non-stick spray, then stick them in the oven while it preheats. For the corn sticks I find it easier to pipe the batter into the hot pans, so I scoop the batter into a zipper bag, cut off the tip and pipe it into the hot pans. It's just easier to work fast with those hot pans that way. I also reduce the heat slightly to 425 degrees F and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or so until they are golden brown.
Another version that many southerners enjoy, including me, contains a little bit more flour and a bit of sugar. Gasp! Ssshh.... just don't tell nobody. I hope that you'll enjoy this recipe with just a touch of sweetness and a bit of flour for body.
Recipe: Southern Light Cornbread:
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, self rising flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, buttermilk and egg; don't beat. Set aside.

Using mitts, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and swirl the hot fat around to coat the entire skillet. Pour the fat into cornmeal mixture. For extra richness, add the melted butter. Gently blend in and pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet. Carefully place into the oven and bake at 450 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes.
- 1-1/2 cups of white or yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup of White Lily self rising flour

An Eldon High School graduate now living in Columbia was the first person to reach the first checkpoint in Saturday's 150-mile Ozark Gravel Road Expedition through the Ozarks hills. He also was the overall winner. Tyler Cordia reached the top of a long, steep hill to arrive at the Tunnel Dam Garden Nursery shortly after 9 a.m. to signify completing one-third of the challenging ride. Right behind him was fellow Columbian Pierre Echasserieau, a native of France.
They were among about 100 bicyclists to take on the OGRE challenge, which drew riders from an 11-state area. OGRE kicked off what is known as Bonk Hard Riding's 2013 Performance Series ― three discipline-specific races that focus entirely on biking, paddling or orienteering (sport that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain.) The expedition Saturday took riders through some of the most difficult back-road terrain in mid-Missouri including winding turns, low-water crossings, switchbacks and Ozark hills.

Four juveniles and one adult have been arrested by Hannibal police for property damage. According to HPD the suspects were taken into custody on March 1.
The arrests stem from alleged orchestrated events in which they removed containers of milk or other liquid products from store shelves. They then purposely fell, causing the containers to break on the floor. The incidents were videotaped by the suspects and posted to internet sites, such as YouTube.
At least four local stores were victimized. Thus far three have pressed charges against the suspects. Other businesses where similar events have happened are encouraged to report them to law enforcement.

STOCKTON — A man believed to be in his 20s was shot in his left leg about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 600 block of East Oak Street, police and witnesses said. The man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Witnesses said they heard five to six shots that sounded like they came from a large-caliber gun. The man was shot in front of an apartment building on East Oak Street and walked to the corner of East Oak and North American streets before collapsing, witnesses said. Police said the victim was being uncooperative.
Authorities were unable to provide a description of the gunman, but witnesses said they saw two men running north on North American.

Tea Top Brew Mug (Holiday Edition)
Our TeaTop Brew Travel Mug is good to go. You no longer have to drink over-brewed tea. Featuring the patented TeaTop lid, this brew mug is a "traveling teapot" perfect for enjoying whole leaf Tea Pouches.
The brewing system is simple: Fold the tea tag in half and thread through the underside of the slit on the lid. Once the brew time indicated on the tea tag is reached, just pull up on the string. This squeezes the oils of the Tea Pouch into the infused beverage below and pulls the spent Tea Pouch up to rest in a domed area. You never have to drink over-infused tea again. The body is crafted of double-walled stainless steel keeping your tea hot, while staying cool to the touch.
Note: Logo on mug may vary
Please see "Brew" for a user guide.• TeaTop Brew mug holds 14 oz. • Made of grade 304 or standard 18/8 stainless steel
1. Remove lid.
2. Fold tea tag in half vertically and insert from the underside of the lid into the pouch slit found on the raised portion of the lid.
3. Allow the pouch to hang freely from the tag secured in the slit.
4. Fill mug with water up to the inner rim.
5. Secure lid onto mug, letting Tea Pouch submerge into water.
6. Allow to brew for the prescribed time indicated on tea tag.
7. Once brew time is complete, pull up on the string until you have full resistance of the Tea Pouch resting along the underside of the lid.
8. Pulling up on string squeezes excess liquid from pouch into beverage below for extra flavor, and also allows the Tea Pouch to rest above tea, so it won't over-infuse.
9. Inhale the aroma of your freshly brewed whole leaf tea.
10. Enjoy!

Will Schwalbe and his mother Mary Ann had always shared a love of reading, so when she was diagnosed in 2007 with pancreatic cancer, they decided to read and talk about a wide array of books. It helped them pass the time during doctor appointments and treatments, but it also helped them deal with their situation. Schwalbe reveals the books they read and discussed as well as the deeper discoveries they made about themselves and their relationship in "The End of Life Book Club" (616.994).
When Harry Hole decided to resign from the police force in Oslo and move to Hong Kong, he thought he would leave his troubles behind. It takes just one phone call to pull him back — Oleg, the boy he helped raise, has been charged with murder. To make matters worse, Oleg and the dead boy, his best friend Gusto, were using and dealing a new drug called "violin." With little support from his former colleagues in the police, Harry works alone on a case that will eventually lead him to sinister forces both in the department and in the government. "Phantom" is by Jo Nesbo.
In 1946, when former paratrooper Harry Copeland sees lovely Catherine Thomas Hale on the Staten Island Ferry, he is immediately smitten — and not long afterward she returns his feelings. They face a wealth of problems, though: Harry, heir to his father's leather goods business, is fighting off the Mafia while Catherine, an heiress and aspiring singer, has a jilted fiancé whose quest for vengeance is far reaching. Mark Helprin presents an elegantly written and compelling love story "In Sunlight and in Shadows."
By all accounts, we have reached the point where Congress and the president must work together on a viable economic plan or we will face worse economic troubles. Former Congressman Mickey Edwards addresses the current dangerous polarization within our government and offers some sensible solutions in "The Parties versus the People: How to Turn Republicans and Democrats into Americans" (320.973).
The little French village of Lansquenet is in trouble once again in Joanne Harris' charming "Peaches for Father Francis." Vianne Rocher, who came to the aid of the townspeople in Chocolat, receives a letter from her friend Armanda asking her to help soothe the breach between Father Francis Reynard and Ines Bencharki who has accused the old priest of burning down her school for Muslim girls. It will take more than confections to heal this rift and return Lansquenet to its former tranquility.
"Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century" (392.360) takes an ethno-archaeological approach in studying our culture to give a realistic view of how Americans live today. The 32 middle class families who opened their doors for this intriguing social experiment don't live in the stunning, clutter-free houses we see on HGTV and in the pages of Southern Living. Rather, their homes are messy and comfortable and full of the by-products of their busy daily lives — just like the rest of us.

A high-level female Yahoo executive helping to lead the company's mobile-content efforts was named Friday in a state lawsuit filed by a woman working under her who accused the supervisor of sexually harassing her.
In her complaint, Nan Shi says she was working as a principal software engineer when the supervisor, industry veteran Maria Zhang, forced her to have sex against her will on multiple occasions, promising her "a bright future at Yahoo'' if she acquiesced. After coercing her to have "oral and digital sex,'' Shi says when she finally resisted Zhang's advances, the executive retaliated by giving her a bad performance review and removing her as a project lead. When she reported the abuse to Yahoo, Shi says, the company did nothing to stop it, and then put her on what eventually became an unpaid leave followed by final termination that took effect Friday.
The lawsuit names Yahoo as a defendant and lists three causes for damages: sexual-harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and wrongful termination.
According to Shi and her Sunnyvale attorney, Matthew Fisher, Shi had been working for Zhang's mobile-app startup in Seattle and when Yahoo purchased it in 2013, both women came down to work for Yahoo. Shi says Zhang told her to move into a temporary Yahoo housing unit in Sunnyvale.
"While staying with Plaintiff, Zhang coerced Plaintiff to have oral and digital sex with her on multiple occasions against her will, even after Plaintiff told her she did not want to have sex,'' the complaint alleges. "Zhang told Plaintiff she would have a bright future at Yahoo if she had sex with her. She also stated she could take away everything from her including her job, stocks, and future if she did not do what she wanted.''
The complaint alleges that Zhang, as Shi's manager, forced her "to work grueling hours and compose work emails over the weekend at the apartment, sometimes right after sex.''
Zhang did not respond to a request for comment. But a Yahoo spokesperson said "There is absolutely no basis or truth to the allegations against Maria Zhang. Maria is an exemplary Yahoo executive, and we intend to fight vigorously to clear her name."
According to her LinkedIn profile, "Zhang is a Senior Director of Engineering at Yahoo, where she currently leads the mobile content and mobile SDK team for Yahoo's Mobile and Emerging Products organization. Maria leads the direction and execution of Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Fantasy Sports, Yahoo News Digest and the Yahoo app.''
In an emotional interview Friday, Shi broke down as she described being forced to have sex with Zhang. "I was in a deep sleep one morning, sleeping on the sofa because she had taken my bed, when she came in without clothes on, crawled into my blanket, and woke me up, hugging me, kissing my face and neck,'' Shi said. "I woke up and got scared; I was shocked. I said, what are you doing? She said she'd liked me a long time, but I didn't' feel the same toward her. I said come on, we're friends; I love you as a person, but not as a lover.''
Shi, who was born in China, said she did not report the assaults to police or to Yahoo because she was worried that publicly going after Zhang could mean the end of her career. But after finally stopping Zhang's advances, she says the supervisor began to "retaliate'' by giving her poor performance evaluations. Finally, this past spring, Shi reported the sexual assaults to Yahoo's human-resources department.
In 2012, GeekWire named Zhang "Geek of the Week'' for her work on the app she developed. In the Q&A, Zhang said she loves cooking and a "good peach martini."

The apartment where a two-month-old baby boy was found unresponsive was littered with used syringes, pot, narcotics, an undisclosed amount of cash and packaging materials generally associated with drug distribution, according to court documents filed by Missouri Highway Patrol investigators.
Police and fire personnel were called to the apartment on Maple Street in Eldon on April 4 after receiving a 911 call from the parents of the infant reporting the baby was unresponsive.
The cause of the infant's death has not been released. Authorities are waiting for the results of toxicology tests to determine if additional charges will be filed in the case.
The infant's parents, Graham Bond and Elizabeth Burnett are in jail on $100,000 bond each facing drug, distribution and child endangerment charges.
The baby was transported by ambulance to a lake area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A three-year-old child was removed from the apartment and turned over to family members.
According to the court documents, officers entering the apartment were able to smell pot as they opened the door.
Once inside, they found "heavy evidence" to indicate the occupants of the residence were involved in distributing illegal drugs.
After obtaining a search warrant, officers removed narcotics, scales, packaging materials, spoons and other related items from the apartment.
Syringes and other drug related items were allegedly left out in the open in easy reach of the three-year-bond.
Bond has a prior drug charge out of Cole County.

My name is Jamison Huhner and my blog presents and discusses claims to fame for small towns all over the U.S. And other random nonsense. Claims to fame include celebrity residents past and present, historic events (battles, crimes), oddities, records of some sort and a million other things. I'm a graduate of Devils Lake Central and, eventually, a graduate from the University of North Dakota with degrees in Russian/Soviet studies and business. After college I moved south to Atlanta before finally ending up in Nashville where I now live with my wife and twin boys.
The Small Town: Center, North Dakota, Population - 571 (2010)
The Claim to Fame: The Story of Hazel Miner
Almost 100 years ago, an early spring blizzard hit North Dakota, leaving more than 30 dead in it's wake, and one sad and tender story about a 15 year old schoolgirl named Hazel Miner. A story that was to be celebrated in words and song for decades to come.
They didn't have early warning radar in 1920, but word got out that a storm was coming and so the school let the children leave early for home. These were the days of horse and buggy so 15 year old Hazel loaded her two younger sibling, 10-year-old brother Emmet and 8-year-old sister Myrdith, into the buggy and headed for home.
Most of you reading this can attest to just how quickly these spring blizzards can move in. The trio was only about half way home when the visibility was suddenly zero and the horse wandered off the road and they lost their way. At some point, as they roamed aimlessly through the open prairie, the buggy tipped over as it caught the edge of a coulee and spilled Hazel and the children into the cold wet snow. Attempts to right the buggy were in vain and Hazel knew that the safest thing to do was stay where they were and wait for help. It was to be a very long wait.
Panic stricken parents and neighbors formed a search party, but as night fell, with the storm still raging, they had to abandon their search until daylight.
Back at the buggy, Hazel huddled with the children as best she could to protect them against the storm, singing songs and telling stories, but the cold and the snow crept in and Hazel was forced to open her coat to spread it out over the children. As the night wore on, the songs grew quieter and the stories less frequent. Sometime, in the middle of a long night, all was quiet.
Early the next morning, the search party set out again. At some point a shout arose from the group and someone pointed to the overturned buggy, half covered by snow. As they arrived at the scene, their worst fears were realized when they saw Hazel's frozen and lifeless body, half buried in the snow and ice, her open coat still spread over the children like a mother bird's wings over her young ones. Suddenly, the sad silence was interrupted by the muffled sounds of a small voice. They pulled Hazel's body away and, much to everyone's surprise, Emmet and Myrdith were still very much alive!
Efforts to save Hazel proved futile, but the children recovered and went on to tell the story of their loving sister and her selfless act for years to come.

If you're wondering what's with the wonderfully crazy window displays in Louis Vuitton at the moment (if you've seen the polkadot tentacles you'll know what I mean) it turns out they're the work of Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama.
I was lucky enough to attend her exhibition at the MCA in Sydney back in 2009 and it was probably one of the most fun and interactive exhibitions I've ever been to.
If you're in New York there's an exhibition of her works at the Whitney Museum. This is a collaboration with the Tate Modern, London and Louis Vuitton. There's another exhibition of Yayoi's running alongside entitled 'Fireflies on the Water'. If it's as good as 'Mirrored Years' then it's definitely worth getting along to.
