BOGUT TO LANDMARK ON THE LAKE

Milwaukee Buck Andrew Bogut, last year's first pick in the NBA draft, has purchased a condominium unit on the 26th floor of the Landmark on the Lake, 1660 N. Prospect Avenue. As the story goes, the seven-foot center was strolling by one day, took a peek through the windows and fell in love with the half million dollar-plus place.
The 21-year old will probably not be a familiar sight at the corner of Prospect and Brady this summer. He announced that he would be joining the Boomers, a basketball team in his native Australia, which is headed to a four game championship series in June against the dreaded New Zealand team in the Commonwealth Games.

[a Public Service Message from your friends at Milwaukeeworld]

Ladies and Gentlemen! Would you like to make your parking meter dollars stretch? You bet you would, and if you follow milwaukeeworld's advice you can save big on your downtown parking meter expenses! We're talking double-digit savings!
How is this possible? Simply nickel-and-dime your way to parking prosperity the milwaukeeworld way.
Here's how it works:
Your typical downtown parking meter offers fifteen minutes time per quarter inserted -- that's sixty minutes for a dollar. A deal? Sure, but Milwaukeeworld can make it sweeter, if you just make a simple -- change!
Here's the secret: That very same meter offers three minutes time per nickel inserted, and six minutes time per dime inserted. Use those two coins in any combination, and you get sixty-eight minutes for a dollar. That's better than a 13 per cent gain in time for exactly the same expenditure made in quarters.
Sure, it pays to watch your pennies -- but it pays even more to spend your nickels and dimes!
But, what to do with all of those quarters? Set them aside for important things like laundry or pool.
