No water in the dugouts

Two signs on the doors leading from the visitors' clubhouse at U.S. Cellular Field to the first-base dugout read, "NO BOTTLED WATER ON THE BENCH."

What's this? Athletes can't drink water? Even in the humid Chicago summers?

Here's the explanation I got:

10 movies we want to see this summer (and 5 that make us nervous)

Thank GOD summer is here. You can keep the chirping birds and baseball games, we're spending the season in the cool air conditioning of the movie theater. And like someone with Seasonal Affective Disorder that's been stuck in Alaska's 30 days of night, we could sure use some movie sunshine. Sure, there have been a few fun movies so far this year - Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Cloverfield, and... um, well... there's been at least two - but there has also been an insane amount of awful at the multiplex. For every marginally acceptable mainstream release like Definitely, Maybe or Cloverfield, it felt like there were at least five One Missed Calls or Over Her Dead Bodys. I mean, we’ve suffered through not one, not two, but THREE Asian horror remakes since New Year’s Day. That's more than any movie season can take. We need summer movies more than we have in any other year. We need something with potential; something with scope; something with toys, video games, and a big budget. And those movies are finally here. Movies don't necessarily get better in the summer, but they definitely get bigger and, after you've sat through movies like 88 Minutes and Prom Night, believe me, size matters. Everyone from Entertainment Weekly to People Magazine has dragged out their predictable summer movie previews, but we like to approach things differently at The Deadbolt. We're ready to play favorites. So, on that note, here are the ten movies we're most excited to see this summer, in order, followed by five biggies that make us nervous.

10 jobs that pay $20 an hour



Think back to your first job at the local ice cream shop. Working after school, 15 hours per week at $7 an hour was enough to fulfill your wishes, hopes and dreams. (Let's be honest, back then, none of us wished for much more than a reciprocated crush and a big allowance.)

Those days have long since passed. Unless you're a waged worker (paid hourly) like 59 percent of U.S. workers are, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you probably don't have a clue what your salary translates to per hour.

The median household salary is $48,201, according to the 2006 U.S. Census Bureau report. This makes the average hourly rate $23.17 based on a 40-hour workweek.

What does your wallet say about you?



Your wallet is stuffed with crumpled currency and raggedy receipts, and loose change clutters the floor of your car. That doesn't have anything to do with your ability to build a sound financial future though, right?

Wrong. The way you handle your day-to-day cash speaks volumes about your money personality, according to personal-finance experts.

"Our outer financial life is really created and deeply affected by our unconscious beliefs about money," says Brent Kessel, the author of "It's Not About the Money."

Mascot sued for over-aggressive high five



A Naperville dentist called a flagrant foul on Chicago Bulls' mascot Benny the Bull on Monday, suing the team over a high-five gone awry.

Dr. Don Kalant Sr. alleged he was sitting near courtside on Feb. 12 when he raised his arm to get a high-five from Barry Anderson, who portrays the exuberant mascot in a bright red fuzzy costume.

But Kalant, an oral surgeon, may now wish he had settled for a fist-bump instead.

NHL makes new rule

Maybe Martin Brodeur should just stop talking to Rangers' super-pest Sean Avery. It just leads to new material.

On Friday, the Bergen Record reported that Brodeur admitted he had grown tired of Avery's trash-talking, which often centres around the goaltender's 2003 divorce. "It's been five years," Brodeur says he told Avery. "Find something else."

Well, Avery found something else to do in Brodeur's crease on Sunday. After taking his second goaltender interference penalty of the series, Avery came up with a new, and apparently legal, way to get into Brodeur's head. With his back to the play, Avery parked at the edge of Brodeur's crease and waved his arms wildly in a bizarre effort to distract the Devils' goaltender. He also waved the blade of his stick back and forth in front of Brodeur's mask.

Parents argue over what gang their child should join

A couple fighting about which gang their 4-year-old toddler should join caused a public disturbance that resulted in the father's arrest, Commerce City police said Thursday.

On Saturday, Joseph Manzanares stormed into the Hollywood Video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over several video displays and even a computer, Commerce City police Sgt. Joe Sandoval said.

After he ran out of the store, police were called and the 19-year-old was arrested at his home.

Being a teenage cheerleader is dangerous



A battered and bruised Victoria Lindsay will not be returning to public school following an incident in which six other girls have been accused of videotaping a beating of the 16-year-old Mulberry High cheerleader.

While a week has passed since the pummeling, Lindsay is still recovering from a concussion and has not fully regained her hearing and vision on her left side.

But as swelling subsides, doctors hope those will return, her parents said Monday.

Man uses hedgehog as a weapon



Police said William Singalargh, 27, had hurled the hedgehog about 5m (16ft) at a 15-year-old boy.

"It hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks," said Senior Sgt Bruce Jenkins, in the North Island town of Whakatane.

It was unclear whether the hedgehog was still alive when it was thrown, though it was dead when collected as evidence.

The suicidal heart

A man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor's widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No foul play was suspected in 69-year-old Sonny Graham's death at his Vidalia, Ga., home, investigators said. He was found Tuesday in a utility building in his backyard with a single shotgun wound to the throat, said Greg Harvey, a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Graham, who was director of the Heritage golf tournament at Sea Pines from 1979 to 1983, was on the verge of congestive heart failure in 1995 when he got a call that a heart was available in Charleston.

Placenta drinks and supplements



The placenta... it nourishes and protects the mammalian fetus until after the birth, when it's commonly known as the "afterbirth". That makes perfect sense. What does not make sense, at least to this casual observer, is why women would want to eat, drink and rub into their faces products made from placenta. Then it came to me - youth and beauty. Gals (and guys, truth be told) will do anything to retain those critical commodities. Anything...
