For 30 minutes they rumbled through yards

"We wanted to build a sanctuary," Watkinson said Friday. "We found them in a bad situation. People have them and play with them for five years and then someone has to come and rescue them. That's what cheap christian louboutin we tried to do. We failed." On Thursday, after three straight days of stifling 110-degree days, the chimps burst through one door of their outdoor pen, opened a secondary door with two dead bolt latches, and escaped. For 30 minutes they rumbled through yards and climbed into and out of at least one unoccupied vehicle. The male, Buddy, dented fenders and jumped atop a police car before veering toward a gathering crowd of people. A Las Vegas police officer killed him with three shotgun blasts. Buddy and the female, named C.J., had become unmanageable for their former owner, who signed part ownership of the animals over to a nonprofit that De Rosa heads, called the Cortland Brandenberg Foundation. The couple spent $100,000 of Watkinson's winnings from the 2006 World Series of Poker on a sturdy double-fenced enclosure of 800 square feet, about the size of two big-rig trailers, this in the backyard of a home in a horsey neighborhood in unincorporated Clark County. Building codes in the area and Nevada state law allow people to keep exotic animals as pets. Officer Marcus Martin, a Las Vegas police spokesman, said the veteran officer who shot Buddy thought he was the last defense between the rampaging animal and people gathering to watch. Martin recalled a 2009 attack on a woman who was blinded and disfigured by a chimp at a friend's home in Stamford, Conn. A U.S. student also suffered critical injuries including head wounds and the loss of a testicle and fingers when he was attacked by two adult chimpanzees after he entered their enclosure last month at a primate sanctuary in South Africa.

A person with knowledge of the decision said Williams told the team he was accepting its five-year contract worth $98 million. Williams, the top free agent available, chose to stay with the Nets over signing with his hometown team, the Dallas Mavericks. It's a huge triumph for the Nets as they prepare to move into the new Barclays Center to start the 2012-13 season. They gave up an enormous package to get Williams in a surprising February 2011 trade, sending promising forward Derrick Favors, point guard Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks, and cash to the Utah Jazz. But it was worth it for the Nets, who needed a franchise player with them to build buzz for their move to New York. Williams wanted to make a quick decision before he reports to training camp in Las Vegas with the U.S. men's basketball team Thursday. He met with both teams Monday, the day after free agency opened, and made his Twitter posting about 7 p.m. The person confirmed the agreement on condition of anonymity because contracts can't be signed until July 11. Williams' decision comes a day after Brooklyn agreed to a deal with Atlanta for all-star guard Joe Johnson, and amid reports the club was still hoping to make a deal with Orlando for Dwight Howard.

There were rumors that he would be replaced by 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson or Jeff Van Gundy - which general manager Sam Presti discarded as "rubbish" - but Brooks remained confident. "I knew it would work out," Brooks said at a news conference to formally announce the deal he signed Monday. Brooks reportedly now has a four-year deal worth more than $4 million annually, but the team isn't releasing the terms.
