Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- An Albuquerque hot dog vendor faces a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after police say he rammed his food cart into a competitor.
Police say Eric Kilmer used his hot dog cart to run over the legs and feet of rival Vincent Montoya. Other vendors told KOB-TV that Montoya is seeking a restraining order against Kilmer.
It was not immediately known why the two were fighting.
If Kilmer is convicted, he could face up to three years in prison.


BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) -- When is an "Eternal Flame" not eternal? In Kyrgyzstan, when you don't pay the gas bill.
A utilities company in the economically struggling former Soviet nation has turned off the gas supply to a major war memorial in the capital, Bishkek, after city authorities failed to clear a $9,400 debt.
The episode reflects the dismal financial state of the Central Asian nation, which has been wracked for years by political unrest and a sluggish economy.
Kyrgyzgas, the gas supply services company for Kyrgyzstan said Wednesday that the bill has been outstanding for 3 years.
Despite confusion over who exactly is meant to foot the bill, Kyrgyzgas say it hopes the flame can be reignited by May 9, when most ex-Soviet republics celebrate victory in World War II.


SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) -- An Idaho man has been charged with assault after authorities say he ordered another man to perform the "moonwalk" at gunpoint.
30-year-old John Ernest Cross was charged with the felony Tuesday in 1st District Court and appointed a public defender.
Police say they were called Monday to Cross' home in Clark Fork, Idaho after getting a report that he pointed a rifle at another man and demanded that the man perform the dance move popularized by Michael Jackson in the 1980s.
Investigators accuse Cross of using a semiautomatic rifle during the episode, but Cross claimed during his initial court appearance this week that the firearm was simply a pellet gun.

Sports:

I don’t understand people making definitive statements about the NFL draft:

Proof that no one knows anything: Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf was a legitimate debate. Hard to believe as Manning is now a surefire Hall of Famer and Leaf is potentially facing decades in prison for stealing oxycodone.
