January 1934: The Dillinger gang killed East Chicago police officer William O’Malley during the robbery of the First National Bank of East Chicago.
March 3, 1934: Dillinger was sequestered at the county jail in Crown Point. Authorities boasted that the jail was “escape proof,” but Dillinger escaped using a wooden gun he had whittled. He then stole the sheriff’s car and drove across the Illinois state line, heading for Chicago. He violated the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act, making it a federal offense to transport a stolen motor vehicle across a state line. The FBI became actively involved in the nationwide search for Dillinger. In Chicago, Dillinger and his gang continued robbing banks. When one of the gang members was apprehended, Dillinger was shot and then fled to Mooresville.
July 21, 1934: A madam of a brothel in Gary contacted police officers with information about Dillinger’s whereabouts.

After years of wading around in a sea of mediocrity (or maybe it was just a sea of garbage), the Pacers are FINALLY at the point where they can start to get rid of some of their most onerous contracts. T.J. Ford, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Jeff Foster and Solomon Jones are all in the last year of their contracts with the Pacers. This will give the team some much needed flexibility just in time for the NBA lockout in 2011!
The Pacers have already been shopping TJ Ford around to anyone who will pick up their phone. They almost moved him in a deal for Raymond Felton, but it fell through when Michael Jordan got cold feet. At this point, if you’re interested in getting Ford for your pick-up team, Larry Bird wants to speak with you.
And that is the Pacers’ problem this season. They have 15 players under contract and a ton of expiring contracts, but no one wants expiring contracts at the beginning of the season. That’s like paying for a prostitute to sleep with you and your friend and then kindly offering to take sloppy seconds. (I’m still working through that analogy)

Karen Kahler, of Roseville, and Carmel Lloyd, of North Ryde, have swapped their gym memberships for pole dancing.
They are among dozens of North Shore mums in their 30s and 40s attending women-only pole dancing classes each week at Miss Fit Dance Studio at Artarmon.
Ms Kahler, a mother of five, has been going since December while Mrs Lloyd began six months ago.
“It lets you be girly and it’s good for your self-esteem,’’ she said.
Mother of three Mrs Lloyd, whose favourite move is an upside down crucifix manoeuvre, said pole dancing was a great way to stay fit.
“It stimulates your fitness and builds up your core strength,’’ she said. “And we do performances at the end of each term, which is challenging, learning a routine.’‘
Instructor Sarah Thompson said women were not intimidated by the stigma of pole dancing and its association with strippers.

… Always be specific when you order “Brazilian twins” from the local escort service. You could get badly burned. Trust me guys, *badly* burned…)
Sherk vs. Dunham? Who cares! Lots more UFC 119-related news just came over the wires, and it looks like the people of Indianapolis are going to be in for a wild night, even if the main event is somewhat lacking in importance. Here’s what we’re dealing with…
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir: This will reportedly be the evening’s headliner. Hmm. If you’ll recall, the two former champions coached against each other on TUF 8, then Mir shocked our asses by TKO’ing Nogueira at UFC 92. Nogueira blamed his weak performance on a staph infection, so maybe this fight will turn out differently, but basically we’re being given another UFC main event where both guys are coming off losses, and the winner doesn’t even become the division’s #1 contender. Personally, I was more interested in a Big Nog vs. Cro Cop rematch.

Kendra thought bigger breasts would mean a fatter wallet during her pole dancing days in San Diego.
“I thought of an idea of how I could make business even better: bigger boobs!” she wrote in the tell-all. “Pamela Anderson was on the radio talking about saving animals or something, and all I could think about were her boobs… I thought, I’d do even better if I were bigger… and I felt like they would make my look and feel even sexier.”
The Baywatch star’s voice was all the push Kendra needed to go from a small B to a full C—and she did her homework to get her “dream boobs.”
“Just hearing Pam’s voice was inspiration enough,” wrote Kendra, who took home a whopping $2,000 on her first night working at Cheetah’s strip club in San Diego.

Wilkinson made the revelation in her new memoir Sliding Into Home, which was released on Tuesday, reports Radar Online.
The reality TV star wrote that she thought having larger breasts would help her earn more money when she worked as a stripper.
“I thought of an idea of how I could make business even better: bigger boobs,” the former Playboy playmate said.
She added: “Pamela Anderson was on the radio talking about saving animals or something, and all I could think about were her boobs… I thought, ‘Id do even better if I were bigger’… and I felt like they would make me look and feel even sexier.”

On the onset, just a friendly reminder: Although many actresses may identify with their characters in order to find emotional resonance that eventually gives way to heart-rending performances, Lea is not about to dish and say that she literally identifies with the beat-up, once-upon-a-time diva named Grizabella.
“She is not necessarily an older character, but she has aged because of what’s happened in the world, apart from the wrong decisions she’s made,” Lea says. “She’s like a 25-year-old who looks like she’s already in her 60s because of all those life experiences.”
Lea admits, though, that the part offers more than melodramatic attractions. “It’s acting. It’s drama. It’s a wonderful role,” Lea says about the cat who may be an underdog. She quips, “If I can play a 17-year-old orphan-turned-prostitute in the sleaziest den of Saigon’s underworld just before the fall of Vietnam’s capital city, that doesn’t mean I’ve become a prostitute at heart, right?”
