Municipalities seen as largely safe from sequestration
MONTPELIER State and federal budgets are feeling the effects of across-the-board spending cuts that began taking effect last week.
But experts say that sequestration process will have little impact on the finances of the municipalities whose budgets went up for votes across the state Tuesday.
The relative dearth of state and federal aid flowing into town and city budgets will for the most part insulate them from any direct financial hits, according to Steve Jeffrey, executive director of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
All these years of not getting anything from the state or the federal government is paying off now, I guess you could say, Jeffrey said.
One of the biggest line-item allocations in the state budget involves aid to town highway programs. But lawmakers have thus far indicated that the annual appropriation wont be reduced.
Barre Mayor Thomas Lauzon said city staff have combed through the budget in search of areas that might be vulnerable to sequestration-related cuts.
Anyone who hasnt been thinking about it hasnt been governing, Lauzon said. But I think theres going to be a less direct impact on municipalities.
Lauzon said that doesnt mean the city wont suffer the ill effects of the $85 billion that will be cut from federal spending if Congress doesnt negotiate a resolution. The city is host to numerous human services organizations with heavy reliance on federal aid. Lauzon said hes worried cuts to those groups will hurt the residents relying on them for everything from fuel aid to workforce training.
Whenever nonprofits have less money to serve constituents with, there are going to be pass-through effects on the places where those constituents live, Lauzon said.
He warns that Barre wont have the financial capacity to rescue local nonprofits.
Were under the same pressures financially as everyone else, Lauzon said. We simply dont find ourselves in a position where we could fill any gaps with a municipal appropriation.
Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras said his city too lacks the resources to bail out area organizations affected by the sequester and that the charter wouldnt allow it anyway.
Louras said the city has scrubbed its budget with an eye toward sequester-related effects.
Were still sorting that out to some extent, but so far, if there is something out there with regard to that particular area, its going to come as a complete surprise to us, because we havent found anything yet, he said.
Louras, however, said the indirect effects could be significant, especially if the sequester continues through the remainder of the fiscal year.
We dont provide any social services as a city, but we have a large number of state programs and nonprofits that are doing that work here, Louras said. And I could see a potential impact on community mental health if those dollars begin to dry up.
He said theres a direct correlation between the strength of the community mental health system and the strain on the city Police Department.
It becomes a workload issue that could put a real strain on law enforcement, Louras said.

Mourners were shocked when a 3-year-old girl woke up during her own funeral in the Philippines.
The girl was brought to a local clinic last week after experiencing a high fever for several days, police told the Philippine Star.
A day later, doctors declared her dead after no longer feeling a pulse.
Video of the funeral went viral after a mourner saw the unnamed girl's head move while arranging the coffin. Someone checked her pulse and found that she was, indeed, alive, the Daily Mirror reported.
The girl was given water, taken back to a clinic for observation and returned to her family.
Police told the Star they believe she remains "in a state of comatose" at the house.

3 Charged with hindering inquiry into Boston attackAP Photo
A van carrying three college friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev drives away from the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston, on Wednesday.
BOSTON Two onetime classmates of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, were charged Wednesday with conspiring to obstruct justice and destroy evidence, accused of discarding a laptop and a backpack containing fireworks belonging to Tsarnaev.
The men, Dias Kadyrbayev, 19, and Azamat Tazhayakov, 19, citizens of Kazakhstan who are in the United States on student visas, appeared in court Wednesday afternoon, the Justice Department said.
A third man, Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge, Mass., was charged with lying to federal law enforcement officials about his role in disposing of the material, according to a criminal complaint against the men.
Two explosives detonated April 15 near the finish line of the marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260 others.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, are suspected of having set off the bombs. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a shootout with police, while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was caught and charged with using a weapon of mass destruction. He was transferred last week from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where he was being treated for multiple gunshot wounds, to a locked medical facility for male prisoners at Fort Devens in Massachusetts.
The three men charged Wednesday began attending the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth in 2011. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had become particularly close to Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov, the criminal complaint said.
Kadyrbayev said he had shown Tazhayakov and Phillipos a text message from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev saying, Im about to leave if you need something in my room take it, the complaint said.
In the room, they found a backpack containing an emptied-out cardboard tube that had previously contained fireworks and a jar of Vaseline that Kadyrbayev believed had been used to make bombs, the complaint said. The men then took the backpack, the Vaseline and Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs laptop to Phillipos apartment.
After they saw news reports that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been killed, Kadyrbayev said he threw the backpack in the garbage, the complaint said.
The backpack, according to the criminal complaint, contained seven red tubular fireworks, approximately 6 to 8 inches in length.
The backpack, which also contained a homework assignment sheet from a class in which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been enrolled, was eventually located by investigators at a nearby landfill in New Bedford, Mass., the complaint said. The complaint does not specify if the laptop was recovered.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

|Since summer is now officially gone, I thought I would try to at least prolong the memory and make my first blog post about my Summer trip to Montana...
As a life-long boater, my vacations usually include some form of sailing or boating no matter where the destination is - whether it is sailing a charter-boat from St. Martin to Nevis or tracking the Louis Vuitton cup from the deck of a catamaran off the coast of Valencia, Spain.
And so it was this summer on a trip to Bigfork, Montana near the Flathead Lake. As it turns out, the Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Cont...... Read More

What is CMA EDU?
CMA EDU is a campus-based program that gathers college students in celebration of their love for music and gives them an inside look into the music industry. In return, CMA leverages these groups for research, marketing, and promotional use on their respective campuses.
For students who are interested in a career in the music or entertainment industry, CMA EDU provides valuable opportunities to explore the field, network with industry professionals, and build a resume through volunteer and project participation.
The Chapter Program allows schools with high levels of interest to form student-governed organizations which are recognized by CMA as an official CMA EDU chapter. Each chapter is led by student officers and one faculty advisor. Schools interested in creating a chapter on their campus must go through a thorough application process and meet certain program standards.
Join an existing Chapter by registering today!

CMA EDU Member Criteria

How to start a CMA EDU Chapter

This process helps identify essential assets to a successful program: a qualified student campus leader, an engaged faculty advisor, a receptive student body, and a critical mass of industry outlets in the immediate area.

In an attempt to thwart vandalism, a school in eastern Pennsylvania is making boys ask for toilet paper.
Boys at Mahanoy Area High School in Mahanoy City must go to the school office to request toilet paper and sign it out, The Associated Press reported.
It's a policy officials hope will cut down on the number of toilets intentionally clogged by male students -- a major problem the past two years.
Some parents, however, aren't too keen on the idea.
Parent Karen Yedsena told the school board some students are too embarrassed to ask for toilet paper and are going home sick instead, the Republican-Herald of Pottsville reported.
District officials told her they aren't aware of any such incidents, but may consider changing the policy.
"I agree with you that it's a drastic measure," Smith told Yedsena, according to the Republican-Herald.

Shumlin calls for opening some police filesBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont press bureau | January 05,2013MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin said Friday that he wants to increase public access to records dealing with police investigations.
An exemption in Vermonts public records law has long hampered citizens access to documents related to criminal probes. But Shumlin has asked lawmakers to adopt a federal standard that allows police to withhold records only when their disclosure would cause some kind of specific harm.
Shumlin said the exemption related to criminal investigations is the area of state government where we often have the greatest challenges.
And I can understand why, he said. Its a complex area when youre trying to bring justice.
But Shumlin said Vermonts blanket prohibition against the release of any documents related to a criminal investigation, active or not, unduly restricts the publics right to know.
Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, cheered the announcement.
A number of recent cases in Vermont including a pending one in which the Rutland Herald is seeking records dealing with an investigation at the Rutland City Police Department have highlighted the medias inability to investigate fully the work of the police they cover.
Gilbert said the restrictive records laws have fueled an unhealthy, and usually inaccurate, public perception of police.
Because of the current exemption, the public feels that police activities are not on the up and up, Gilbert said. The public feels like it doesnt have the access it needs to judge how well police are doing their jobs.
Attorney General William Sorrell has said he supports expanding public access to criminal investigation records only in probes that focus on law enforcement officers. Sen. Dick Sears, a Bennington County Democrat and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sorrells stance reflects legitimate concerns about preserving the integrity of criminal cases as well as the privacy of those involved with them.
Sears said he believes this part of public records law needs more clarity but that he wants to review the governors proposal to ensure it wont have unintended consequences.
We want to protect people that are the subject of criminal investigations to the extent they may be innocent, and you also have an obligation to some of the people that agree to cooperate with police in an investigation, Sears said. So Im mindful of all sides of this.
The federal standard allows police to withhold documents in criminal investigations when their release would interfere with a fair trial, reveal a confidential informant or investigative technique, violate someones privacy, or threaten someones safety.

Hosseini's 'And the Mountains Echoed' brings new tears
My main goal in reading Khaled Hosseini's new book, "And the Mountains Echoed," was to avoid crying. I failed within the first 20 pages. And by the last page, I was bawling.
So, yes, much like Hosseini's earlier works, "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns," his latest book is bathed in sadness and despair, with the requisite occasional ray of hope. Much like those other two books, "And the Mountains Echoed" is powerful and haunting. And much like the country it describes, it is not easy to forget. »Read Full Article

New biography captures the Roy Orbison behind the sunglasses
When biographer John Kruth writes that Roy Orbison's "life seemed to mirror that of Job's from the Old Testament," he is not stretching too far to make a point. The singer's first wife died in a motorcycle accident with Orbison just a few hundred yards down the road ahead of her; two of his sons died as boys in a house fire while the singer was overseas. Poor management contributed to a series of bad albums and to Orbison being nearly forgotten.
Yet, like Job, as Kruth tells the tale in "Rhapsody in Black," Orbison had a nice comeback, with a doting (if strong-willed) second wife, admiring friends in the Traveling Wilburys and the hit single "You Got It." Unfortunately, that 1989 hit was posthumous; Orbison died the year before at 52. »Read Full Article(1)
Beauty and healing blossom in Rhodes' 'Jewelweed'
Thousands of years ago, glaciers bypassed the southwestern corner of Wisconsin, creating the Driftless Area, an "island of land" with rolling hills and deep valleys, rivers and coulees, ancient woodlands and prairies, small towns and farms. This topographical wonder is David Rhodes country.
In his new novel "Jewelweed," Rhodes revisits the region and the fictitious small town of Words, a place he so beautifully brought to life in his previous work "Driftless." The residents here are as complex, interdependent and finely tuned as the ecosystems surrounding them. Even the smallest change can shift the balance. »Read Full Article

Start flicker-freeThe energy saving lights of this series, which are already successfully introduced to the market, are now substantially improved by a newly developed PCB. The entire control is now built by SMD-technology and powerful filters are used to lower interference and increase the safety of operation. The flicker-free softstart controlled by electronics enlarges the switching frequency rate.
The intelligent PC-BoardImproved electronic parts decrease losses and increase the durability of PC-board and compact lamp. The intelligent PC-board detects critical operational conditions and will switch off the compact lamp if necessary. The compact lamp will operate at its optimum by automatic control. A constant luminous energy during minimum to maximum operating voltage, as well as undervoltage, secures long durability for the compact lamp. The low-loss polarity reversal protection also is a new addition.
High-grade products continuesAll luminaires can be used at high switching frequency rates as well as long operation times. The durability of the compact lamp is about 8000 h. All luminaires are built according to CE-certification. A high radio interference suppression according to VDE 087B is standard. This is more than required by CE-Certification. The ground sheet is made of aluminium and is white powder-coated. The prismatic cover is made of temperature- and UV-resistant PMMA. Due to these improvements our tradition of high-grade products continues, which guarantees reliability as well as quality.
< 10 mA
Single lamp luminaires 5-9 watt. The switch has silver-plated contacts and AMP connection. An universal PCB is fitted in all luminaires, suitable for wattages 5 - 11 watt, making it possible to fit smaller compact lamps in larger luminaires. The luminaires are fixed with two V2A screws. The prismatic diffusers are clicked into place at one end, fixed with an acorn nut at the other. All luminaires are supplied with compact lamp and fixing screws. Solarshop.Net is always keen on serving the latest products for its costumers.

Stir It Up: Milk and cookies with George and AbeMarialisa Calta Photo
Make Shrewsbury cakes (with or without cherries) to honor George Washington on Presidents Day.
Forget cherry pie; bring on the Shrewsbury cakes and gingerbread men. The first will honor George Washington on Presidents Day; the second, Abraham Lincoln.
Shrewsbury cakes are among the 400 "receipts" (recipes) in "Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery and Booke of Sweetmeats," a handwritten manuscript that the first lady acquired with her marriage in 1750 to Daniel Custis, and which she bequeathed to her granddaughter, Nelly Custis, in 1799. In between, Daniel Custis died, Martha married George, the Declaration of Independence was signed, the American Revolution was fought, the Constitution was ratified, the Bill of Rights was adopted, and Washington was elected president. Twice. And, of course, a whole lot of cooking and baking went on.
The "cookery booke," now in the collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, was transcribed and interpreted in 1981 by eminent food historian Karen Hess and published by Columbia University Press. Hess points out that it was written in the 1600s and that Martha may have considered it an "old-fashioned" relic. But similar recipes for Shrewsbury cakes were still being printed in cookbooks throughout the 1800s, so it is quite possible that Martha was still using this one from her "Booke of Sweetmeats." If you can't honor George without cherries, add dried ones to the recipe.
As for Lincoln, we know that gingerbread men were a childhood favorite from an anecdote recounted by Carl Sandburg in "Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years":
"When we lived in Indiana," (Lincoln) said, "once in a while my mother used to get some sorghum and ginger and make some gingerbread. It wasn't often, and it was our biggest treat. One day I smelled the gingerbread and came into the house to get my share while it was still hot. My mother had baked me three gingerbread men. I took them out under a hickory tree to eat them. There was a family near us poorer than we were, and their boy came along as I sat down. 'Abe,' he said, 'gimme a man?' I gave him one. He crammed it into his mouth in two bites and looked at me while I was biting the legs off my first one. 'Abe, gimme that other'n.' I wanted it myself, but I gave it to him and as it followed the first, I said to him, 'You seem to like gingerbread.' 'Abe,' he said, 'I don't s'pose anybody on earth likes gingerbread better'n I do — and gets less'n I do.'"
This story made the rounds and was often reprinted in newspapers, but no specific recipe was ever given. A Minnesota blogger named Rae Katherine Eighmey offers a credible re-creation in a post titled "What Lincoln Enjoyed Eating"; look for it online.
Baking either cookie would be a fun and delicious project to do with kids or by yourself. Hail to the chef!
Shrewsbury cakes
Yield: 18 (2½-inch) rounds
4 cups pastry flour (see notes)
¾ cup sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon mace (see notes)
1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
½ to 2/3 cup dried cherries (optional)
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons rosewater (see notes)
2 teaspoons sherry (see notes)
2 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar and spices. Cut butter into small chunks and toss into the bowl. Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it has a crumbly texture. If using the cherries, stir them in.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg whites, rosewater and sherry. Add to the dry mixture and stir. Add 2 tablespoons cream and work together until a dough forms. Drizzle in more cream, if needed, to form a dough.
On lightly floured surface, pat out dough to ½ inch thick. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or the floured rim of a drinking glass. Place rounds on the cookie sheets and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until just slightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes: If you don't have pastry flour, use 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups cake flour, OR use 3½ cups all-purpose flour plus ½ cup cornstarch.
Mace is the outer covering of the nutmeg and has a distinctive flavor, but nutmeg is an acceptable substitute.
Rosewater is a common ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking. It is sold in some supermarkets, in specialty stores and in Middle Eastern markets. If you can't find it, use almond extract.
If you don't have sherry, substitute port, sweet vermouth or Madeira.
Recipe adapted from "Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery and Booke of Sweetmeats," transcribed by Karen Hess (Columbia University Press, 1981)

On Tap Today: Birds, Brewers and State Fair
Hello and welcome to the middle of your week, though we hope there's nothing average about your day.
First, you could start your day with an early morning bird walk. By lunch, it may be a fine time for a farmer's market right downtown or a show of artwork by a collective from Argentina. Later, it should be a good evening for a little baseball and the boys from San Francisco beneath Miller Park's roof, too. »Read Full Blog Post

The NCAA basketball tournament is awesome. But care to make it "interesting"?
Nothing like trying to play psychic to keep you glued to every second of every games. A bracket pool helps make the games more entertaining, with the only cost -- besides the money, of course -- being a little bit of your time and intuition.
That, and you get to join a company of friends (and strangers or soon-to-be friends) and colleagues. And what a way to combine work and play to help make the workday fly by a little quicker.
But if you don't have a pool to join, why not try setting up your own?
If you don't quite know where to start, read on. Although this isn't rocket science, there's no sense making the same mistakes as those before you. Here are five things to consider when getting your very own pool off the ground ...
No. 5: Light-hearted or down-to-business?
Are you in it for the fun or are you looking for a little mind-game action? Let's start with the latter.
There's nothing wrong with opting for an exclusive, serious-players only pool. It's like a poker game -- the nonsense player can kinda ruin the vibe. Keeping it heady, the strategy that can be applied to the bracket is teased out, discussed more purposefully and elevated. This is cool.
Otherwise, capture the fun of having people with no clue getting in on the action. Watching this can be great entertainment.
For starters, the rookies can transform into rabid fanatics. Watch that executive who's never once watched a college basketball game languish about Kansas' upset loss. Or perhaps better yet, watch the guy who took 16 hours to pick his bracket become infuriated that his co-worker the next cubicle over just smoked him by choosing teams alphabetically.
No. 4: Get them hooked
Now that you know the style you want to use, you've got to market this puppy.
This is more applicable if you're trying to get strangers. And though most folks are pretty darn familiar with a bracket pool, so it sort of sells itself, don't sleep on this. Get those on-the-fence players. They can be great additions because they're unpredictable, having the biggest potential to surprise you with accuracy and behavior.
So market away! Speak to the cabin-fever remedy that March Madness is -- the joy, excitement, drama. And don't be afraid to get specific, as in something along the lines of, "Come join in and watch John Doe cry when he loses for the eighth straight year."
Have fun with the process, it's more appealing. And be candid about the long-shot possibilities and that a "random picker" just might end up taking home the prize.
No. 3: Get into the now
Say goodbye to paper and calculators. The Internet provides an efficient, clean way to run your office pool. (Also, it provides an opportunity to welcome outside players and perhaps join multiple tournaments.)
ESPN, Yahoo and CBSSports -- just to name a few -- all have easy to use platforms that you should take advantage of.
Creating a league is just a quick set-up -- choosing details on scoring, member invitations and password. It's a cinch. And the invitees shouldn't have a problem, either, following links sent to their e-mail.
An online pool also provides a "meeting place" for all members, allowing them common space from which to ask questions, talk smack, whatever.
And a word about money. PayPal can be used as a money disbursement avenue, but they do take a percentage of each transaction, adding a wrinkle to the process. And for other concerns about money, read on.
No. 2: Know the law
Can you get arrested for running an office pool? This really is the million dollar question. Unfortunately, the answer, as always, remains wishy-washy.
In almost every place in the country, it's illegal to wager money on the tournament. And there is a documented case in 2002 of an AT&T manager getting arrested for taking a 10 percent cut ($3,000) in a large pool. He crossed a line by making money in exchange for running the pool.
But it's like speeding, and spending $15 is like going 5 mph over the speed limit. It's a matter of practicality and authorities aren't going to crack down on these. Even huge companies like Boeing have OK'd the pools, as long they aren't disruptive to work.
In fact, it's your company you should probably be more concerned with as a policy that frowns on office pools of any kind may put you on the HR radar.
So if you do gamble, let the winner(s) take all and try not to use three reams of office paper printing brackets.
No. 1: Details, details
How should you score and how about that pay out?
Well, there are a million ways to score the games. One recommended is the "Fibonacci" method, named after a famous mathematician. To conduct it, give one point for each game in round one, two for round two, three for Sweet 16 matchups, five for Elite Eight action, eight for the Final Four games, and 13 for the championship bout.
It's been argued that this method provides a nice balance without too much weight on the final game.
For the dough, make it sensible: 50 percent for first place, 33 percent for second, and 17 percent for third. You want to keep as many people in the action as long as possible.
Obviously, set the buy-in at an appropriate level for your peers and, remember, the lower the buy-in, the less waves you'll create (good), but less invested people means, well, less invested people (bad).
Have a ball!

True, Don Cheadle helped convert one of Tony Stark's suits of armor into the powerful War Machine in "Iron Man 2," but when it came to the acclaimed actor's work with Robert Downey Jr. again for "Iron Man 3," the mantra for his working relationship with his fellow star was simple: If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
"There's nothing that really changes in our work dynamic. We're friends and we understand that this one is like the last one, but on steroids a little bit," Cheadle told me in a recent interview. "Nothing really changes as to how we work. I think it was pretty well established what we had to do and what the movie was about. We just need to show up and serve the storyline."
While Cheadle's character, Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes, doesn't fix any of his weaponry, either, in "Iron Man 3," the exterior of the suit does undergo somewhat of an upgrade. The silver and black War Machine armor is repainted red, white and blue, and Rhodey is rebranded the "Iron Patriot."
Unfortunately, one thing that didn't change was comfort level of his very elaborate costume. Looking like a life-sized action figure may sound cool, but it's not all it's cracked up to be, Cheadle said.
"I had the experience of doing this once before, so I knew it wasn't going to be cool to begin with," Cheadle said, laughing. "But look. It's what we have to do and I'm not going to complain. It's a lot easier than doing things a lot of other people have to do to make a living."
Opening in theaters Friday in 2D and 3D, "Iron Man 3" picks up after the events of "The Avengers," where Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is having a tough time adjusting to the aftermath of New York City. Already teetering on the brink with anxiety attacks, Stark's world almost completely crumbles when the mysterious terrorist The Mandarin (Sir Ben Kingsley) destroys his home and work compound in a vicious missile attack.
Left to start over from scratch, Stark discovers that the threat is much bigger than originally thought, and he'll need help from the likes of his of his old friend, Rhodey, to avert an imminent threat on the U.S. president's (William Sadler) life.
The biggest transition for "Iron Man 3" came with the hiring of director Shane Black, who takes over the franchise after filmmaker Jon Favreau served at the helm of the first two.
Black, who last directed Downey in the brilliant crime comedy "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang," first burst onto the scene in 1987 with the screenplay for "Lethal Weapon" and helped define an enduring genre as a result.
"He really understands the buddy pic genre, and being able to do it on a much bigger canvas was a nice hybrid," Cheadle said.
While acknowledging that switching out directors isn't always a good thing, Cheadle said that was definitely not the case with "Iron Man 3." Cheadle said Black came in realizing that the franchise was already well-established, and operations under the new filmmaker went smoothly.
"When we show up to work, we all know that the movie is bigger than all of us," Cheadle observed. "We were all just strapped in and held on for dear life as this huge juggernaut left the station. It worked out well. We weathered the changes just fine."
One of the big changes for Cheadle is how Rhodey figures much more prominently into "Iron Man 3" storyline.
"It's a lot of fun because I have more to do in this one than the last one," Cheadle said. "The relationship between Tony and Rhodey is a lot of fun and their friendship gets a little stronger than it did in the last one. If this ends up being the last bite of the apple we have, then I'm glad that we went out on this note."
Don Cheadle fired up over Rhodey's return in 'Iron Man 3'

Four years later, the Evian babies return with more unexpected talents-- showing out to an electronic remix of the 90s reggae classic, Here comes the Hotsteppers by Yusek.
The song sets the stage for the younger demographic, Evian hopes to reach with their rejuvenated image.
Historically, Evian and babies have always had a connection. French scientists in the 1930s named Evian the safest water for babies to drink.
However, over the years Evian has taken on an elitist association. A far cry from the "break-dancing in the streets" affair seen in their latest commercial.
Of course, the babies are hard to resist and have already struck viral gold in 5 days, reaching over 29.6 million views on YouTube.
Check out the sensational babies and they're adult look-a-likes in one of the most adorable justifications to drink water period.

So, movie audiences are being presented with a new film about a singing competition. The first reaction from a lot of people might be, "Wait a second. We have 'Glee,' 'The Voice,' 'The X-Factor' and 'American Idol' on TV. That subject is pretty well-covered." But happily, the new comedy "Pitch Perfect" carves its own niche to deliver a surprisingly entertaining experience.
The story revolves around incoming college freshman Beca (Anna Kendrick from "Up in the Air"), who is bitter about a lot of things including the fact her parents are divorced and her dad won't let her take off to Los Angeles to pursue a music career.
She soon discovers that her new school is a hotbed of a capella singing groups who are in intense competition. They include the perennial champions, "The Treble Makers," led by the cocky and obnoxious Bumper (Adam DeVine of Comedy Central's "Workaholics") and "The Bellas," an all-girl group that keeps picking tired routines to perform.
Beca reluctantly joins "The Bellas" but her cutting-edge music tastes clash with the group's leader Aubrey (well-played by Anna Camp from "The Help"). Aubrey is so focused on singing that she works "a cappella" into every conversation -- as in, "aca-scuse me?" Some of the more prominent members include Australian actress and stand-up comic Rebel Wilson ("Bridesmaids") playing "Fat Amy," a girl whose conversations don't contain any kind of filters. There's also Brittany Snow ("Hairspray") playing the group's peacemaker. (Snow has a remarkable resemblance to Reese Witherspoon.) Unfortunately the other members of the group don't get as many lines, but when they do, they are devastatingly funny. Especially Hana Mae Lee as the extremely quiet but dark member of the group who whispers revealing tidbits about herself such as, "I set fires to feel joy."
"Pitch Perfect" has some solid comedy credits behind it. Based on the book by Mickey Rapkin, the screenplay was written by Kay Cannon, a writer/producer on the show "30 Rock." She got the assignment when Elizabeth Banks, a semi-regular guest star on the sitcom, became producer of the movie, along with her husband. Banks also has a funny role in the film playing a TV broadcaster delivering such insights about the competitions as, "Yes, but a mistake can affect the rest of our life and haunt your children."
The film does try to accomplish too much at times with a few too many characters. It does return to more stable footing whenever the story focuses on the delightful Anna Kendrick and her situation, which includes a romance with a fellow singer played by the engaging Skylar Astin of "Taking Woodstock."
The movie really fires on all cylinders when it comes to the singing numbers. Director Jason Moore was nominated for a Tony for his work on the Broadway production of "Avenue Q," and his expertise is clearly evident when the groups take the stage. Their performances are beautifully choreographed and the wonderful singing arrangements are delivered with so much joyous energy that one can almost feel the audience being won over.
"Pitch Perfect" is a delight, and although I hate using this over-used comment, it truly is a feel-good movie well worth seeing.

A 4-week-old baby in London is recovering after a fox dragged it from its cradle and bit off one of its fingers.
The rare attack happened Wednesday while the baby was sleeping, BBC News reported.
The baby's mother told authorities she heard screaming followed by a loud thud as the baby was dragged to the floor.
She had to kick the fox repeatedly to get it off the baby, whose finger was eventually re-attached in a three-hour surgery, The Daily Mail reported.
The baby also suffered puncture wounds to its forehead, but is expected to fully recover.
Authorities are investigating how the fox got inside the house, according to The Telegraph.
