For much of the game, the Bulls definitely looked like a team playing for the second straight night and the third time in four days. Although they mounted separate rallies late in the third and fourth quarter to pull closer, they just never could muster enough energy to complete the comeback and suffered a 97-90 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.
Three months ago, it looked like Kyle Orton and Brandon Lloyd had a budding relationship capable of taking the Bears' passing game to the next level. Four months ago, Devin Hester was hailed as a potential No. 1 wide receiver after receiving a $40 million contract extension. Rashied Davis, Marty Booker and rookie third-round pick Earl Bennett were considered solid pieces for an offense on the move.
The Hawks took advantage when Kris Versteeg slipped a backhand pass to Jonathan Toews for the winning goal with 1:35 left in the third period. Dave Bolland added an empty-netter to give the Hawks a 4-2 win that snapped their three-game losing streak. They're now 7-1-4 at the UC.'re now 7-1-4 at the UC.

Men crack most of the world's mother-in-law jokes, but a new study says it's women who do the real suffering. Nearly two-thirds of women studied by a British researcher reported their mothers-in-law had caused them long-term unhappiness and stress. Fifteen percent agreed. The study was done over 20 years by Terri Apter, a psychologist at Cambridge University's Newnham College. She took up the challenge when she couldn't understand why she always felt smothered by her mother-in-law.

Rap’s most ubiquitous and successful artist, Lil Wayne, has been
showered with a leading eight Grammy nominations — including album of
the year. Following close behind was Coldplay, with seven. Their “Viva La Vida”
