'August: Osage County' is a lesson in family dysfunction
A lot of "acting" goes on in "August: Osage County" and if not for the star-studded cast, you wouldn't notice it.
However, you can't unsee Julia Roberts leaping across a table and wrestling Meryl Streep, who plays her mother, to the floor at a wake. It is a bigger-than-life moment acted out by larger-than-life performers and registers more as a "Mommie Dearest" scene rather than as a family full of resentments and rivalries coming home to roost in a realistic or meaningful way. »Read Full Article
DJ Hardwell expands global domination at Eagles Ballroom bash
Last year, electronic dance music star Hardwell was declared the world's No. 1 DJ in DJ Mag's annual poll. And the 26-year-old's global influence was apparent at his sold-out Eagles Ballroom show at the Rave Friday night. I can't recall hearing so many different languages and accents at a Milwaukee concert before.
So who am I to argue with the world? Thanks to his increasing popularity, Hardwell late last month closed out the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, one of the world's premiere EDM events, in front of at least 100,000 people. (See that set with this review at jsonline.com/music.) »Read Full Article

Conflict led to architect's departure from Milwaukee Art Museum project
When he was asked to design a new building for the Milwaukee Art Museum, Jim Shields talked about steering clear of the "pitched battle" between the architectural heavyweights on the lakefront — the expressive vocabulary of Santiago Calatrava and the sober design of Eero Saarinen. He may not have expected a pitched battle of his own.
Shields, one of Milwaukee's most celebrated architects, walked away from what should have been an architectural dream job — a museum building on a lake — over fundamental questions about what museums are today. »Read Full Article(13)

'Lend Me a Tenor' hits right notes in MU-Chamber show

George Zimmerman is accused of pointing a long-barreled shotgun at his girlfriend and pushing her out of her Apopka home Monday afternoon before barricading the door with furniture, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said.
Zimmerman was arrested when deputies arrived at the home on Topfield Court at 1 p.m. and charged with felony aggravated assault and battery, domestic violence and criminal mischief.
Zimmerman's girlfriend, identified as Samantha Scheibe, called 911 during the fight.
"He has his freaking gun breaking all of my stuff right now," she told the dispatcher.
Scheibe could be heard yelling at Zimmerman on the call.
"I'm doing this again? You just broke my glass table. You just broke my sunglasses, and you put your gun in my freaking face," she said.
Deputies used Scheibe's key to enter the home and arrest Zimmerman.
"He offered no resistance to deputies as they responded," said Dennis Lemma, chief deputy with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
Zimmerman will be held in jail on no bond until his first appearance in front of a judge at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. He will not be represented by Mark O'Mara, his attorney during his murder trial.
Zimmerman will be held in a 64-square-foot single cell with limited contact with other inmates, but he will be allowed visitation.
"He will be housed as he has been in the past, under administrative confinement," said Lemma.
If Zimmerman is released on bond, deputies want the judge to impose electronic monitoring.
Deputies said Scheibe was not hurt in the incident.
According to Scheibe, she asked Zimmerman to leave the home and he began packing his belongings, including a shotgun and an assault rifle. The victim said Zimmerman cocked the shotgun and then took it out of his bag.
"Scheibe then advised Zimmerman that she was calling the police because she was nervous about why he pulled out the shotgun. Zimmerman then pointed the shotgun at Scheibe for a minute, and asked her if she really wanted to do that. Scheibe stepped back, at which time Zimmerman smashed a glass coffee table, belonging to Scheibe, with the butt of the shotgun," the arrest affidavit said.
Neighbors told WESH 2 News that they didn't know the woman was dating Zimmerman, and they thought the man might have been an undercover cop because he walked around like an officer.
Neighbors said his truck had been parked in the neighborhood for about a month.
Chopper 2 video showed several Seminole County Sheriff's vehicles at the home Monday afternoon.
Deputies plan to release the arrest report and 911 call.
Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin in July.
He was involved in a domestic dispute involving his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, and her father in September, but he will not face charges in that incident.

Syria's decision to place its chemical weapons arsenal under international control was the result of Russia's proposal rather than the threat of a U.S. military strike, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told a Russian TV channel Thursday.
"Syria is handing over its chemical weapons under international supervision because of Russia," al-Assad said in an interview with state-run news channel Rossiya-24. "The U.S. threats did not influence the decision."
An alleged chemical assault took place on the outskirts of Damascus on Aug. 21. U.S. officials say more than 1,400 people died, many of them children.
The Syrian government has said that opposition fighters launched the chemical attack.
Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to meet with his Russian counterpart in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, a U.S. official told CNN CIA-funded weapons have begun flowing to Syrian rebels. But opposition groups say they have yet to receive any.
Meanwhile, a Vladimir Putin-penned editorial in The New York Times has at least one White House official saying it's an indication the Russian president is "now fully invested in Syria's chemical disarmament."
And a U.N. report says that both sides -- the regime and the rebels -- have committed war crimes in Syria's bloody 2-year-old civil war.

Front Runners List: Click here to see list completion progress by climbers that log their climbs using Peakbagger.com.
Compare Climbers: Click here to compare ascents of up to 5 climbers working on this list.
The Hundred Peaks are significant summits in Southern California that are south of the Sierra Nevada, west of the Mojave Desert, and over 5000 feet high. There is a great deal of fine mountainous terrain in this region, including 10,000 foot peaks of the San Bernardino, San Jacinto, and San Gabriel Mounains, plus scores of lower summits stretching from San Diego to north of Santa Barbara.
When this list was first created in 1940, there were 112 peaks on it, but over the years peaks have been added so that now its title is terribly misleading.

Nissan showed off a concept car Monday that it says shows the styling direction of a future sedan.
The Sport Sedan Concept doesn't have a flashy name, but it is a pretty aggressive design for a sedan. The low roofline, large wheels and minimal ground clearance are not likely to make it into production anytime soon.
However you are likely to see design cues, like the V-shaped grille, boomerang headlights and tail lights, and floating roof -- especially at the c-pillar, where the roof flows into the trunk.
The concept is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that's generating more than 300 horsepower.
Nissan leaders say there are no plans to put the car into production as it is, but look for something similar in future Maximas and Altimas.

Beloit International Film Festival begins Friday
The Beloit International Film Festival kicks off Friday showing about 120 movies in a variety of venues, a string of live music events and a three-day cinematic border war of sorts.
The latter, "The Wisconsin-Illinois Showdown," starts Friday with works in competition at the festival by filmmakers from Wisconsin and Illinois. Films with Wisconsin ties at the festival include "Oconomowoc," a comedy filmed in the title community; "Sign Painters," the documentary by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon about one of America's most enduring art forms; and "Date America," a documentary following a guy who, after discovering nearly all of his peers are settling down, tests his own status as marriage material by going on a road trip with eight dates in eight states. »Read Full Article
'Unmentionables' brings mix of entertainment, instruction, inspiration
Like the old-fashioned chautauqua she writes about, Laurie Loewenstein's debut novel "Unmentionables" arrives as a welcome diversion from the daily grind, bringing a mix of entertainment, instruction and inspiration.
It's a historical, feminist romance in the positive senses of all three terms: a realistic evocation of small-town America circa 1917, including its racial tensions; a tale about standing up for the equitable treatment of women; and a story about two lonely people who overcome obstacles, including their own character defects, to find love together. »Read Full Article

Listening to Lou Reed: 'Legendary Hearts'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
Contrary to the dude he impersonates in the middle section of "Street Hassle," Lou Reed does wear his heart on his sleeve in "Legendary Hearts" (1983), his second (and final) studio album with Robert Quine as his fellow guitarist. It's about love, imperfect love, good lovin' gone bad and squabbling love that requires the intervention of local law enforcement. »Read Full Blog Post

The Red Sox Game – We're Doing It Wrong
My friends and I play a lot of board and card games. Anything silly, strategy heavy or, ideally, both is held in high regard. One of them, a card game called Munchkin, is both a send-up of and homage to role playing games, kung fu theatre, sci-fi, superheroes, Lovecraftian horror and a lot of the other stuff you love as a kid…okay, a lot of the other stuff I loved as a kid…or, you know, as an adult in a couple of those cases.😉 It's an extremely silly game but also contains a fair bit of strategy. How longe do you collaborate with the other players to beat the monsters and steal their treasure? When do you start stabbing people in the back to win? Can you form alliances you can later betray? You know, great corporate world prep kind of stuff.
Hey Kristen, this is highly entertaining and all. Sounds like a fun game. But is there, oh I don't know, a baseball tie-in in here somewhere? Yeah. Wait. I'm getting there.
Most of the cards that give you advantages in this game, will also give you a disadvantage in certain situations. For example, the boots of buttkicking card gives you a +3 against monsters because, one would assume, you could stomp on them more effectively, but will also give you a -1 if can't kill the monster and have to "run away" because, well, they're heavy.
Fascinating, Kristen. But is there like a +4 centerfielder lurking in here somewhere or a Mendoza line card (+5 defense/-2 offense) because, frankly, I'm not seeing any baseball tie-in. Quiet you. *clears throat* Ahem.
My point is this. For whatever reason, for the past two seasons, the Angels seem to have a -6 against the Red Sox. (Other seasons would certainly qualify as well, but we seemed to have turned the corner in 2009.) I'm not saying the Sox haven't played good ball when our two teams met, because they have, in many cases excellent ball. It just that lately the Angels seem to slump no matter what and strange things happen. Our bats disappear. Players botch routine plays left and right – Peter Bourjos has had two errors this season. Both of them were dropped routine pop-ups while playing the Red Sox. The great bullpen adventure becomes more Frank Miller than Stan Lee. Most streaks, pitching, hitting or otherwise grind to a halt. It's weird.
This season, the Angels have taken two out of three against the first place Indians, the Rangers when they were hotter than hot, the Blue Jays and, most recently, the hot and getting hotter Rays. So one would think that we would at least split our series with the Red Sox but, apparently it never works out that way. Come on guys, this is mental! Look at who you have beaten and look at how lights out you've been when you've played your best this season. Now, pull it together, back up Haren and give him some run support – no runners left behind! – and you can win this one and then turn around and do the same thing for Santana!
As you probably deduced from the above or any number of news reports this evening, Jered Weaver's undefeated streak came to an end, which was always going to happen eventually. As Dan Haren said in an interview after his loss, no one is going to finish the season at 27 and 0. He was recovering from a stomach virus during which he lost a reported 9 pounds – which really shows up on that lanky frame, 6'7″ or not – and had to spend some time in the hospital with an IV to restore fluids.
Suffice to say, he didn't have his usual spark. His pitch counts were higher, things were just slightly off…and the really scary part is that he still could have won the game with a little more run support. And that's not even addressing the crappy umpire call that lead to Pedroia being in a position to smack in the 2nd and 3rd of those runs and changed the game…of course, one of our runs benefitted from a less blatant bad call, so I can only complain so loudly *whistles*. What I'm saying here is, contrary to what some media folks are saying, the streak was not a fluke. Weaver is good and he is tough – and now we know just how tough! – and he will rack up more wins, as will the rest of the rotation who aren't exactly chopped liver. Go Angels!

Honestly, I think the Red Sox use loaded dice @home. +4 to run support: (Luck of the green monster) My A's have suffered in that stadium their fair share too. Eric Burns not touching the plate on a play at home in the playoffs is forever burned in my mind.
One good thought to have is ya only got 3 more games left to play the Sox for the season.
Who needs a Baseball tie-in? – I want to hear more about the card game. As a matter of fact…I want to steal it. But I feel your pain. In METropolis, we can't beat rookie pitchers. Do you have a rookie and want to build up his confidence? Have him pitch against us. It's ponderous.
Those pesky Red Sox. To this date, though New York is still leading the AL East, the Red Sox have been our only lost series. Everyone else, we've at least tied or beaten them.
Jon – I am laughing because the loaded dice comment is so true. I wasn't going to seize on the "it's almost over now" strand of hope…and then I watched this evening's game. Sigh. It's almost over.
Mike – He he, well stealing the game would be very Munchkin-like. You can find this and all manner of other goodies at funagain.com (a board games site, despite how the name might sound) and the Steve Jackson Games site. Rookie pitchers, eh? I didn't realize they were an issue for both New York teams.
Alissa – Pesky is right. I will be glad to be done with them at this point, even if we can pick things up in the next two games. New York is definitely looking good and doesn't show any signs of stopping.

Kristen – The thinking at Fenway is this: "We need to get last month out of our system, so we need to use the park to our advantage. Any freight train that comes through here gets a bazooka to it. It's not going to be pretty, but it has to be done.
"And, Jerry Remy's got pneumonia…let's do it for Jerry and the Nation!"
Weaver and the Halos got a bazooka fired at them. A weak shot, but it landed – somewhere. No, Weaver will not be 27-0, but he made a statement last month that will resonate this season. If he gets 20 or more wins, then April was worth it. The upshot is that pitchers need run support and the Halos still have the Sox number. They just need to correct some mistakes in time for the first pitch.
– Randy
This thing goes way back to the 80s even (I won't bring up the specifics). Love the game concept… I would hope my card would have increased points based on the number of alcoholic beverages I've consumed😉
Ahhhrrrrrghhh. Don't let the Sox get on a run before we visit Fenway! Roll a Critical Hit! 🙂
Weaver's first loss came at the perfect time for me. I was playing the team that owns him in my fantasy league😉
Randy – I don't know that it was such a weak shot. The Sox definitely have something to prove after those first two weeks, but I think they have the tools to prove it and they're playing like it now. I just think that we have the tools to compete and for whatever reason just don't.
Jeff – Oh I'm aware of the specifics – I had an Angels fan grandfather in the middle of my youthful Dodgers fandom and I've always read a lot. While alcohol does not offer any tangible points advantage, we have noted that those who are most well lubricated tend to play the game the best.
Rob – Ha ha, nice! There are no D-10's in this game, except those us only somewhat reformed geeks choose to use as level counters. It's strictly how many total points you have in front of you and choose to throw down vs. how many total points that monster has plus whatever bonuses your helpful/backstabbing buddies choose to use to help (for a price) or hurt you. I don't know that it's so much a case of letting the Sox heat up at this point as stepping up to the plate and rising to the occasion.
Catherine – How nice for you. So. How about that no-no?😉
Ron – Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
— Kristen
The Halos gave the RedSox a beating today. You really have a solid looking team….. pitching, power, and a solid manager. If V Wells gets it going, this will be a hard team to beat.
Russel – That we did! A hard fought win on Wednesday and a nice clobbering last night sure put everything in a better perspective. Thanks! I really think this is shaping up to be a great season.
— Kristen

The mother of a 10-year-old girl and the woman's boyfriend are each facing a felony charge after the child was seen riding in a dog cage by other drivers on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, police said.
Millvale police responded after getting reports from motorists who saw the girl in the bed of a blue pickup truck around 7 p.m. on Memorial Day. Police got the license plate and went to the address where the vehicle is registered, but the truck was not there.
"Officer Gapsy and I then set up on the area, and a short time later observed the vehicle turn onto Friday Road from Evergreen Road and a traffic stop was made. Officers could see the open bed of the truck, which had a dog cage with a small dog and a juvenile female in the cage," Officer Brandon Morgan wrote in the criminal complaint.
When police asked the driver, 30-year-old Thomas Fishinger, why the child was in the cage in the bed of the truck, his response was that "she asked to be with the dog," Morgan wrote.
Fishinger said that he and the girl and her 29-year-old mother, Abbey Carlson, were coming from his mother's house in Beaver County, according to the complaint.
Fishinger and Carlson were charged with endangering the welfare of a child and released on their own recognizance, police said. Nobody answered the door at their home in Millvale on Tuesday morning. The truck was being kept in the parking lot of a local towing company.
SLIDESHOW: Photos of the truck and the cage
The child's maternal grandmother, who did not want to be identified, said that the girl was with her on Tuesday morning and is embarrassed by the incident. But the grandmother also thinks it's being blown out of proportion in the news.
"They were coming home from Tom's mother's house and they had the puppy in the back of the truck," the grandmother said. "The cage was all strapped in. It was harnessed in, and my granddaughter wanted to sit in the back with the puppy, and they went to the end of a dirt road and she wanted to stay in longer, and my daughter and her boyfriend ride motorcycles, and they thought, you know, what's the harm if (the girl) is in the back getting that experience? It was just an innocent mistake on their behalf, and it was nothing more than that."
She added, "Yes, I quite possibly think that she could have been in danger. But I don't think that they were thinking of it that way. They would never put her in danger -- never. I know they wouldn't."
"With everything that's going on in the news nowadays, if I saw a child in a cage, I think I'd call the police also. I really would. But they just didn't feel like she was in danger. They just didn't feel it."

A Wednesday morning house fire has left four children and one adult dead in Northwest Oklahoma City, according to firefighters.
Fire crews say 3 girls and 1 boy, ages 2 to 8 years old, and one woman are dead after an early-morning house fire in the 2800 block of Dorchester Drive. A sixth person was transported to a local hospital in unknown condition and, officials say, there was a seventh person injured, but they refused to be taken to the hospital.
There was no gas service going to the house and the house appears to have been heated by a fire place and space heaters, according to firefighters.
Battalion Chief Randy Cornelius is urging people to check their smoke detectors. He says crews got to the scene when the flames were extremely intense and there wasn't much they could do to save those inside.

Lawmakers pondering new taxes
MONTPELIER As legislative support for Gov. Peter Shumlins new revenue proposals continues to deteriorate, lawmakers have begun developing their own plans to raise money.
In the coming days and weeks, Montpelier will see bills that would raise tax rates on top earners, eliminate tax exemptions that benefit the wealthy, add a 1-cent-per-ounce tax on sugared drinks, and double the gross receipts tax on heating oil.
Shumlin, for his part, has recommended nearly $70 million in tax increases to support new government spending on renewable energy, thermal efficiency, heating assistance and road maintenance.
That figure doesnt include his plan to raise $17 million by reducing a tax expenditure that now benefits the 45,000 lowest-wage workers in the state. He wants to use that money for new childcare subsidies.
Leaders in the House and Senate have begun calling into question both the wisdom and viability of Shumlins new revenue streams. And legislators eager to retain the governors array of new state programs say theyll come up with their own ways to support the spending.
Were buying the administrations argument that we need new revenue to do all the proposals the governor wants us to do. We have no problem with that, says Rep. Paul Poirier, a Barre City Independent. But many of us do have a problem with his plan to raise the money he needs to pay for it.
Most controversially, Shumlin would raise $17 million by cutting a tax expenditure used to reduce the income tax obligations of the working poor. The earned-income tax credit in most instances gives recipients more in a refund than they would have owed in taxes, but many lawmakers still characterize it as a tax increase.
Its one of several revenue proposals unveiled in a spending plan last month that also included: $17 million in revenue from a 10-percent surcharge on break-open tickets; $16 million annually from a 1-percent tax on health insurance claims; and $36 million from a 4-percent tax on the retail price of gasoline.
While not technically a new tax, Shumlin also wants to keep in place an assessment on employers who fail to offer health insurance to employees. The so-called Catamount assessment was created in 2006 as a means of funding health insurance subsidies for low-and middle-income Vermonters. But now that Catamount is disbanding, many lawmakers say the assessment, too, needs to go away.
From a policy perspective at least, the proposed tax on break-open tickets may be the least controversial of Shumlins proposals. But fiscal analysts for the Legislature say it wont raise anywhere near the $17 million Shumlin has built into his fiscal year 2014 budget plan.
The new projections have left many lawmakers concerned about the fate of the programs for which Shumlin had earmarked the funding. The $17 million was to pay for heating assistance for the poor, low-income weatherization programs, and renewable energy subsidies.
Rep. Margaret Cheney, a Norwich Democrat and vice-chairwoman of the House Committee on Natural Resources and Energy, is working on legislation that would raise the gross receipts tax on heating fuels. She wants to use the approximately $8 million in new revenue to bolster low-income weatherization and statewide thermal efficiency projects.
Were all concerned about the unreliability of the break-open tickets, Cheney said. The governor had three uses for that money, and this plan takes care of one of them.
Poirier is putting the finishing touches on a bill that raises $30 million in new revenue by increasing income taxes on the top two income brackets, a plan that would affect the approximately 5,000 filers making more than $171,500 annually.
Rep. Chris Pearson, leader of the House Progressive Caucus, said he plans to reintroduce a bill that would generate $17 million by altering tax code in a way that assesses the top income tax rate on the entirety of top earners wages (currently, the first $373,000 of annual income is subject to rates established for lower tax brackets).
Instead of raising taxes on poor people by cutting the earned-income tax credit, or dealing with fuzzy numbers in the break-open tickets, lets just use a simple mechanism that affects the people who can best afford it, Poirier said. And then we have money for childcare and heating assistance and all these other things the governor wants.
Pearson said Shumlins longstanding opposition to rate increases in the income tax will make it tough to find sufficient support in the Legislature for those bills. He said thats why hes working on a separate revenue proposal that generates revenue by eliminating exemptions instead of raising rates.
Pearson said instead of reducing a tax expenditure that benefits poor people the earned income tax credit lawmakers should instead consider exemptions that tend to enrich the wealthy. The bill remains a work in progress, but Pearson said Vermont, for example, exempts from the estate tax the first $2.5 million worth of property.
There are a number of giveaways, I would call them, that overwhelmingly benefit wealthy taxpayers, Pearson says. Its my goal to within the next week present a laundry list of options for the Legislature to consider.
Rep. David Sharpe, a Bristol Democrat, will be the lead sponsor of legislation that would impose a 1-cent per-ounce tax on every bottle of sugar-added beverages sold in Vermont. Shumlin is a staunch opponent of the proposal, which he has said would exacerbate the competitive disadvantage already suffered by many Vermont retailers (New Hampshire has no sales tax).
But Sharpe says the proposal it would raise an estimated $27 million per year stems in part from a desire to insulate low- and middle-income Vermonters from the higher insurance costs awaiting them next year in the new health benefits exchange.
Shumlins plan to aid those residents relies in part on the Catamount assessment, something lawmakers may well decide to jettison. If they do, theyll lose the $11.8 million it would have generated in fiscal year 2014. Sharpe and others say there needs to be an alternative way to raise that money.

Leahy's hourFebruary 16,2013
Viewers of President Obama's State of the Union address will have noticed that as he arrived in the House chamber he was accompanied by a delegation of congressional leaders, notably the House majority leader and the president pro tempore of the Senate. The former is Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia. The latter is Sen. Patrick Leahy.
Leahy's longevity in the Senate has earned him status as the most senior member of the majority party, which elevates him to the position of president pro tempore. The Constitution provides that Vice President Joe Biden is the president of the Senate; in the absence of the vice president, the presiding officer is the president pro tempore, which is Latin for "for the time being."
President pro tempore is largely a ceremonial position, occupied usually by senators of advanced age. Some of the senators who occupied the position in recent decades have included Robert Byrd, Ted Stevens and Strom Thurmond. Leahy became the most senior senator upon the death of Daniel Inouye of Hawaii.
Leahy has taken up the post at a relatively young age, 72, because he was elected to the Senate in 1974 at a young age, 34. He has expressed delight at his status as the Senate's most senior member, and he seemed to be enjoying his role as escort for the president to and from the House last week.
Leahy's senior status is likely to have more telling effect in ways apart from his role as pro tem. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee he is squarely in the thick of some of the most contentious and consequential issues of the day. These include bills on gun control, immigration and domestic violence.
On other committees, the Democrats who preside as chairmen are not necessarily the kind of dependable ally that Obama might prefer. Sen. Max Baucus, the Montanan who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, was a major headache for the president during the drafting of the Affordable Care Act. Leahy, on the other hand, has been a consistent supporter of the president and appears ready to put all his weight behind the critical measures that Obama is promoting.
After Obama's decisive re-election in November a political shift has altered the prospects for legislation in Washington. The news has been dominated by the continuing gridlock created by the budgetary blackmail practiced by Republicans. But in other areas gridlock is easing.
Thus, the times are catching up with Leahy. Republicans who competed last year to determine who could be most mean-spirited toward immigrants now acknowledge that some sort of path toward citizenship for undocumented foreigners will be necessary. Leahy is in a position to help craft and push toward passage the kind of immigration reforms sought by Obama and acceded to by Republicans in the aftermath of their election debacle.
On gun control Leahy stepped forward soon after the slaughter in Newtown, Conn., to announce that he would hold hearings on gun violence. He has let it be known that he will push for an array of measures for which popular support is widespread, including universal background checks.
Leahy's position has already yielded results. Earlier this week the Senate passed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, which renews a bill that Congress allowed to lapse two years ago. It is an important law assisting victims of domestic violence and sexual violence and includes provisions targeting the trafficking of women.
That Congress was willing to allow this measure to lapse two years ago says something about the priorities of the do-nothing Congress that completed its term last year. That the Senate has been willing to take bipartisan action early in the new session to protect women against violence says something about the new political atmosphere in Washington.
Leahy's leadership is likely to flower in this new atmosphere. His ceremonial duties as president pro tempore are gilding on the lily.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Fuel Pump Replacement Estimate (National Average)
Validated estimate range for national average.
View Estimate Details
Parts & Labor Breakdown
Labor: $123 - $156
Parts: $326 - $421
Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Best Practices
The fuel filter should always be replaced when replacing the Mercedes-Benz CLK500's fuel pump.
Common Symptoms
A failing fuel pump will not create enough pressure in the fuel system, potentially resulting in a loss of engine power or a "no start" condition. You may also have a lean running condition that can set a diagnostic trouble code and turn on the Check Engine Light.
Fuel pumps require replacement if they leak or begin making too much noise, which is a sign of malfunction.
Common Misdiagnoses
A clogged fuel filter or problems with the electrical system powering the fuel pump can result in symptoms similar to a failed fuel pump. Have the shop verify that the pump is the problem before replacing.
Last step before receiving your estimate:
* Estimate for all Mercedes-Benz CLK500 model years. Get a more accurate price by entering in your year.

A day in the life of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
Seventy-five Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra musicians joined music director Edo de Waart and guest pianist Ingrid Fliter to play a matinee concert last Friday at the Marcus Center. That concert, featuring the music of Brahms, Chopin and contemporary composer Michael Ippolito, is one of 134 concerts the orchestra members are scheduled to play this year.
MSO musicians are not unlike nose tackles (though much lighter on their feet): individually skilled enough to have won competitive auditions for their jobs, but committed to expressing their talents almost anonymously in service of the orchestra. »Read Full Article

Hip-hop duo L&R is a match made in Milwaukee
Milwaukee rapper Raze (Marquis Norris, 35) and Colin Plant, the 29-year-old rapper formerly known as Logic, share a couple similarities. They work in the tech field: Plant is a trainer for a software company; Norris works in information technology. They've also been fixtures for years in the local hip-hop community: Plant is part of the Hollowz; Raze was with late collective House of M; and they work together as well, as the duo L&R.
But as performers, and as people, they're pretty different. Plant is an introvert, while Raze is a self-proclaimed party kid, especially around the ladies. »Read Full Article(1)

Berlin officials rethink letter urging voters to support water bond
BERLIN – A letter that was approved by the Select Board Monday night and was scheduled to go out in Tuesday's mail may have to be rewritten amid questions about whether it was appropriate for the town to use taxpayer money to promote the water supply project that will be the subject of a public hearing tonight and a town-wide bond vote next Wednesday.
Suggested by the engineer who has been working on the $5.5 million project and drafted by the chairman of the town's water supply committee, the brief letter approved by the board opened and closed by urging voters to cast ballots "in favor" of an initiative that it repeatedly described as "important" and "extremely important."
After obtaining and reviewing a copy of the letter, The Times Argus questioned whether the planned mass mailing was appropriate given the content of the letter and the fact that it would be printed on town letter head, signed by the Select Board, as well as representatives of the local fire department, and mailed to all residents at taxpayers' expense.
Town Administrator Jeff Schulz said Tuesday morning that thought did cross his mind Monday night though he didn't raise the issue during a brief discussion of the letter that the board modified to delete two references to tonight's 6:30 p.m. informational hearing. Those revisions were made because board members acknowledged by the time residents received the letters the hearing, which will be held tonight at Berlin Elementary School, would already be over.
Schulz said Tuesday that he planned a more significant rewrite before mailing the letter that Tom Willard told the board he drafted at the suggestion of representatives of Otter Creek Engineering. Willard is the veteran chairman of the town's water supply committee and Otter Creek is the engineering firm that has been working on plans to create a municipally owned water system serving the Berlin Four Corners area since 2007.
Schulz was waiting to consult with Town Attorney Rob Halpert before editing the letter, but a state elections official said Tuesday that would be a prudent move.
Kathy Scheele, director of elections and campaign finance with the Secretary of State's Office, said she would have provided that admittedly "conservative advice" if anyone had asked.
Although it is something of a legal gray area, Scheele said town-sponsored pre-election literature should stick to the facts.
Providing voters with information that may help them make a decision is perfectly acceptable, but openly advocating for a ballot initiative probably isn't, she said.
"You can urge voters to vote, but you can't urge them to vote 'Yes.'" Scheele said, conceding there is little case law on the subject and most of it has to do with school boards.
The closer you get to an election the clearer the law gets.

A Tennessee woman is accused of stealing $5,000 from her boyfriend and hiding the money in her rear.
Christie M. Black, 43, of Bulls Gap had to be hospitalized for injuries she suffered while stuffing the cash in her "hiding place," Knoxville TV station WBIR reported.
Her boyfriend, 46-year-old Bobby Gulley, told police he suspected Black had been stealing from him, so he set a trap.
Gulley put two envelopes filled with $5,000 in cash inside a bag and left it on a foosball table in their home. He got up at around 1 a.m., founding the money missing and confronted Black, who eventually admitted to stuffing the money in her rectum, police told the Times News.
Black told responding officers she stole the money because Gulley was going to kick her out, and she needed to find another place to live, WBIR reported.
She said she tried to get the cash out "with a toilet brush and tongs," but to no avail, and had to be taken to a local hospital with severe bleeding.
