For more than two years, Baltimore School for the Arts grad and creator of Wheely Good Smoothies Natan Lawson, 23, has been tirelessly churning out smoothies with pedal power - or letting his customers pedal for their own drinks. His colorful and efficient bicycle-powered blenders allow you to simply sit, pedal and enjoy. We caught up with Lawson to learn more about the personality behind the tasty genius. Biggest pet peeve? Driving behind someone waiting to make a left turn in the left lane on a one-way street onto another one-way street and they don't know they can on red. Anything and everything is sometimes my pet peeve, but that one makes me angry for no good reason.

A 22-year-old Baltimore man was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison plus 20 years for a January 2008 murder for which prosecutors were unable to establish a motive. Danny Battle of the 3400 block of Ramona Ave. was convicted by a city jury July 31 of first-degree murder and use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence in the Jan. 25, 2008, shooting death of Irvin Lawson, 32, in the 900 block of Pennsylvania Ave. Prosecutors said Battle approached Lawson and another person as they were walking to Lawson's apartment and opened fire, striking Lawson in the back of the head, chest and back.

Police have identified three recent homicide victims, bringing to five the total number of people killed over the past weekend as violence continued on the city's West Side. Among the victims was Marcella Lawson, 64, who was found behind a vehicle that was being taken away by a tow truck driver. An officer had called for the tow truck after noticing the Honda Accord with its lights on in the 2800 block of Edgecombe Circle North, in Northwest Baltimore, and determining it was abandoned, said Nicole Monroe, a police spokeswoman.

DETROIT -Ty Lawson had quite a month. His toe injury panicked thousands. His casino winnings appalled the pious. But nothing could match his Monday. "Never in a million years," he said, "would I think I'd get the Point Guard of the Year and win the national championship." Lawson collected the personal hardware, the Cousy Award, in late morning. Come prime time, he tormented Michigan State and led North Carolina to its fifth NCAA men's basketball title. Neither distinction is debatable.

Memorial donations may be made in his name to Franklin College, 101 Branigin Boulevard, Franklin, IN 46131

Sporting stylish eyewear and lounging on a doctor's exam table, North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson embodied fashion and relaxation the day before the Tar Heels' second-round NCAA tournament game. As Lawson held court with reporters, his teammates couldn't hide their amusement. Lawson's vision? Crystal clear. His injured big toe? Likely healed. The glasses and table? Completely unnecessary. In three subsequent games, Lawson has proved just how necessary he is to North Carolina's national championship hopes.

I did two brackets this year, a departure from my usual purist one-bracket rule. I filled out a "Ty Lawson" sheet and a "non-Ty Lawson" sheet. On the latter - in which the North Carolina point guard and Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year was unable to take the court because of his injured toe - the Tar Heels went out in the Sweet 16, to Gonzaga. The sheet in which Lawson played all the important games (excluding, of course, the first-round warm-up against Radford) had North Carolina on the last line.

Maryland coach Gary Williams said a couple of victories in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Atlanta would likely gain the Terps entrance into the NCAA tournament. "Two wins would put us in good shape," Williams said yesterday. He qualified his remarks to make sure everyone listening knew he was not looking past North Carolina State in tomorrow night's opener. "N.C. State - that's the whole key," he said. The seventh-seeded Terps (18-12) defeated No. 10 N.C. State (16-13) on the road this month.
