SPARTA, Wis. —On the ides of June, while squinting at a cluster of threatening clouds from his perch on a grassy construction site just outside of Sparta, Wis. this small city, Chicago sculptor Tony Tasset is, to use his words, totally freaking out.
The 39-year-old victim was walking down the street when he realized he had been shot. The bullet knocked a tooth out, but did not penetrate the man's mouth and he was able to spit the bullet out, Kubiak said.
The lady was in a holding jail and went to the bathroom. They were videotaping her, as they videotape everyone, everywhere for security. There was no sign in the bathroom. She learned of the tape when it was presented in a deposition. She is suing for violation of unreasonable search.
Inside the two-room space next door to Courtesy Metals in the 3700 block of South California Avenue, Rendon clandestinely ran a dentist's office equipped with syringes, painkillers and dentures, according to Chicago police. The makeshift dental office in the Brighton Park neighborhood, steps away from a metal scrapping machine called the "Bone Crusher," was free of frills.
As they waited, Nemeth said, he noticed noises coming from the last stall. A man's legs — clad in blue jeans and sneakers — were sticking out from under the stall door.
"The toes were pointing up," said Nemeth. "The legs were shaking and quivering. From a visual standpoint, all you had to see was the legs quivering to know something was going on."

Chicago pet owners would be fined up to $250 for having a dog that barks incessantly under a proposal introduced Wednesday by two influential aldermen.

I'm standing on The Ledge, the four new enclosed glass boxes that jut about four feet from the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower. The latest addition to the 110-story high-rise opens Thursday. From the glass boxes, visitors get a nearly panoramic view, from Wacker Drive below and up to 50 miles in three directions on a clear day. The boxes can hold at least 5 tons each, about the weight of an elephant, and they can retract into the building when the windows get washed.
While Patti Blagojevich roams the jungle in Costa Rica on a reality television show as a replacement for her indicted and travel-restricted husband, the former governor will still participate in a "surprise" manner, the couple's publicist said today.
