Ex-justice to mediate museum tiff
Former state Supreme Court Justice and Marquette University law professor Janine Geske has agreed to help mediate the stalemated negotiations between the War Memorial Board and the Milwaukee Art Museum over how their landlord-tenant relationship will change with the launching of a $25 million renovation project.

How casting ruins a mystery: 'NCIS Los Angeles' edition
While watching a recent CBS's "NCIS: Los Angeles" (don't judge - ladies do love cool James), I witnessed what has to be one of the most egregious offenses on television crime dramas and it's posing a serious threat to my TV viewing (and by extension to anyone watching TV with me).
In an early scene from the aforementioned episode, Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and her partner Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) are heading down the garden path of a Beverly Hills mansion when they pass a gardener. He gives the agents a passing glance, but that look, that stealthy stare tells me instantly that the gardener is not just pruning the roses, he's the bad guy, the guilty party and the reason for the episode's murder and mayhem. »Read Full Article(1)

Inova director Sara Krajewski in center of art world debates
When Sara Krajewski entered the lobby at Seattle's On the Boards for a performance, things were already askew. Dancers were in the anteroom, nearly still, like quickened sculptures. Aspects of the stage set were set about the space.
Once inside the black box theater, Krajewski discovered a riser with seats for the audience up on stage, leaving a narrow sliver for the performers. Proximity to the dancers – to their athleticism and grace – was intimate, uncomfortable even. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Milwaukee Music Video: See Juiceboxxx's one-take treatment for "Like a Renegade"
I'm not sure if I've met any Milwaukee performer with more energy than Juiceboxxx. The Milwaukee native (he doesn't claim a home base for now, but he was last living in Los Angeles) was in our studios last year to perform a couple of tracks off his awesome debut full-length "I Don't Want to Go Into the Darkness." It was a raucous good time. And it was really loud.
So I'm not surprised in the slightest to see JB running through the streets, ripping off his shirt, and spraying a can of what I can presume is an energy drink, for the new music video for "Darkness" track "Like a Renegade." Nor am I surprised that the whole thing was done in one take. »Read Full Blog Post

Vermont eyes tax on the cloud'
MONTPELIER Add the cloud to the growing list of items for which Vermonters could soon be required to pay sales tax.
While current law already calls for a 6 percent surcharge for the online purchase of remotely accessed software think TurboTax the state Tax Department had forgiven unpaid debts accumulated by Vermont companies whose businesses involved the sale of those products.
In what looked to be a phasing out of the tax altogether, lawmakers last year created a one-year moratorium on the cloud tax, to allow for a summer study to gauge its impact on the technology sector.
But while Gov. Peter Shumlin in January called on lawmakers to grant a permanent exemption for the cloud, the House is unwilling to give up the $2.3 million in revenue the assessment is projected to raise next year.
Its just one more controversy in a House-passed tax bill that has created a divide between lawmakers and the Shumlin administration.
Rep. Heidi Scheuermann, a Republican from Stowe, offered an amendment to the miscellaneous tax bill last week that would have prevented the moratorium from expiring. She said hundreds of Vermont businesses from restaurants that use cloud-based software for recordkeeping, to the software providers that sell it to them will see the cost of business rise if lawmakers dont protect them from the reinstallment of the 6 percent tax.
Scheuermann called the assessment a shortsighted tax policy that will thwart economic development in an emerging sector.
While it may raise ($2.3 million), it sends a terrible message to the technology industry and small business, Scheuermann said. And it will only result in less economic activity.
A summer study committee made up of four legislators, Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson, and two private sector executives voted 4-3 in December in favor of repealing the cloud tax. The legislators on that committee the chairwoman of the House Committee on Ways and Means among them voted 3-1 to keep the tax, while Peterson and the executives all voted to eliminate it.
Let us listen to them just once, Scheuermann said. Let us do one thing in this Legislature that actually encourages economic activity and growth.
Rep. David Sharpe, ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Ways and Means, said Vermonts ongoing revenue struggles stem largely from its past willingness to grant so many exemptions and loopholes, often to the private sector. Granting exemptions in emerging sectors especially, he said, could exacerbate the states revenue problem down the line.
As our economy moves more and more to the Internet, we have already lost a lot of sales tax revenues from Internet sales, Sharpe said. I want to know how many of you would vote for an additional penny on the sales tax to replace the revenues were losing from exemptions, or 2 cents or 3 cents, because thats the path were going down.
Anyway, Sharpe said, the cloud tax isnt imposed on companies creating and selling the software, but rather the Vermonters buying it.
But Rep. Paul Ralston, a Middlebury Democrat and entrepreneur who started the Vermont Coffee Company, said the cloud tax is of greater symbolic significance than lawmakers give it credit for. To the businesses that would be affected, he said, the tax is less about the money than it is about the message.
Ralston said this is one area where Vermont can actually earn a favorable distinction among prospective businesses comparing tax codes.
This is about whether companies will locate and grow here, Ralston said. This is our opportunity to make a good first impression.
Ralston said the issue needs more study anyway. The Committee on Commerce and Economic Development on which he sits, for example, took no testimony this year on whether the assessment would be good or bad for the tech sector, Ralston said.
Ralston noted that in their rationale for removing sales tax exemptions on soda and candy provisions in the same bill that contained the cloud tax House lawmakers touted the benefits of denting consumption of those unhealthy products.
Taxes do change behavior, Ralston said. This tax will change behavior, and I urge you to consider that when you think about your vote.
The amendment failed by a 37-vote margin, and the cloud tax now heads to the Senate as part of the broader tax bill.
Opponents of the cloud tax will face similar difficulties there. Senate President John Campbell, a member of the cloud tax study committee, voted in favor last December of allowing the moratorium to expire.

Tarom Solar charge controller for telecommunications and hybrid systemsSolarix Tarom is not only a normal solar charge controller. It combines two new power technologies and aims at the best quality as a system controller. First, Solarix Tarom traces down the charging status of the accumulator with an unprecedented accuracy. It is in this way that you are managing the energy yourself with the precise status indicator. Second, all the data can be transmitted into the DC-net. With this function, there is no need for additional data nets to send the battery information to other installed devices. Besides, with the help of installed receivers, the deep discharge protection is decentralized by setting up different priorities. For every system program registers with its own parameter value, it enables Solarix Tarom to be operated optimally. A connected monitor can be used to call back all the recorded actual system parameters. For example, the consumption of energy from last few days or weeks. Other than above newly invented features, Solarix Tarom certainly offers the best quality of functions as a solar charge system controller.

Bond sale helps home buyers, rentersProvided photo
The Vermont Housing Finance Agency has completed a $26 million bond sale that helps refinance loans on affordable apartment units around the state, including the 15-unit Benson Heights apartment complex in Benson. The agency also completed a $50 million bond sale that will finance the purchase of 250-350 Vermont homes.
Affordable housing in the state received a boost this month with a bond sale that will help finance the purchase of up to 350 single-family homes.
The Vermont Housing Finance Agency closed on a $50 million bond sale that replenishes the agencys loan funds. The money will provide 30-year mortgages at 3 percent interest on a government-backed mortgage and 3.25 percent on a conventional mortgage.
The bond sale will fund 250 to 350 home purchases.
A separate $26 million multifamily bond sale restructures certain existing VHFA loans that affect 907 apartments around the state.
VHFA Executive Director Sarah Carpenter said the agency took advantage of a program available only to state housing finance agencies. Under the program, the U.S. Treasury buys the mortgage securities backed by the housing bonds.
Carpenter said the VHFA was faced with an end of the year deadline to replenish its funding before the program expired.
The program ends Dec. 31 so essentially we both needed to bond and wanted to bond before the end of the year to take advantage of the low rates we could get through that program, she said.
The bond sale covering apartment complexes required restructuring loans with each project partner, Carpenter said.
Lower refinancing rates were aided by the State of Vermont Moral Obligation credit enhancement that allowed for long-term, fixed-rate financing. She said it also allows some apartment projects to use the savings for improvements.
Erhard Mahnke of the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition said that as the economy gains strength and consumer confidence increases, the bond sale provides more home-buying opportunities.
The single-family bond obviously provides a really attractive rate and attractive terms for first-term home buyers, said Mahnke, the coalitions executive director.
Although Vermont has one of the highest home-ownership rates in the country, Mahnke said the state still has a deficit in terms of meeting the demand for home ownership.
The housing deficit is especially acute when it comes to affordable apartments, he said, so the multifamily bond sale takes on added significance.
What this does largely is preserve the affordability of some existing for-profit-owned properties, maybe reaching the end of their mortgage term and so (the owners) might have even been looking to do something else with the property, Mahnke said.
In addition, he said proceeds from the bond will help finance several transfers of ownership from for-profit owners of affordable housing to nonprofit owners.
One transaction involves the transfer of Benson Heights, a 15-unit senior Section 8 development in Benson, from the United Church of Benson to the Housing Trust of Rutland County. The financing also provides for rehabilitation and other capital improvements.
According to the 2010 Vermont Housing Needs Assessment report, the state will need to build approximately 8,000 homes between 2009 and 2014 to meet demand.
When it comes to apartments, the report said Vermont will require an additional 5,000 rental units by 2014.
Based on an average monthly rent of $1,000 a month for a two-bedroom apartment in the state, Mahnke said, a worker needs to earn $19 an hour to afford it.
This year the VHFA has financed 401 home purchases.
Since its inception, the agency has provided financing for 27,000 homebuyers with low-interest mortgages, and financed the development of approximately 8,400 affordable rental units.

Woman finds dead frog in Pret A Manger salad
Company investigating, says it takes 'issues like this very seriously'
A Wall Street Journal staffer returning to the newsroom found a stomach-churning stowaway after opening her Pret A Manger salad -- a dead frog lying atop the mixed greens.
The dead amphibian somehow made it into the unidentified staffer's Nicoise salad, which was sold at the 47th Street and Sixth Avenue location, according to her co-worker, who posted it on Instagram.
Digital Features editor Kathryn Lurie later tweeted that the encounter left her coworker "pretty shaken, understandably!"
"At Pret A Manger, we take issues like this very seriously," the company said in a statement. "Our lettuce is sourced from farms that do not use any pesticides on its produce, therefore organic matter does very rarely manage to pass through our production process. We are currently looking into this issue to make every effort that this does not happen again."

Founder leaves Northern Stage unexpectedlyBy Jim LoweProvided Photo
Brooke Ciardelli is no longer artistic director of Northern Stage, the $2 million theater she created 16 years ago.
The woman who, from scratch, built White River Junctions Northern Stage, one of the Northeasts most successful professional theaters, is suddenly no longer part of it.
The company has recently hired a new executive director, and he will be at the helm of the organization, leading Northern Stage into the next stage of its evolution, Brooke Wetzel Ciardelli said in a surprise announcement Friday.
A joint statement scheduled for release this week states, The Board of Directors and Founding Artistic Director Brooke Ciardelli have agreed that the current production will be her last with the company.
In 1997, Ciardelli, a Burlington native with international theater and film credits, founded Northern Stage with $6,000 she managed to raise in the community. Unusually, Ciardelli combined professional artistic training with a native business acumen.
Over the ensuing years, Ciardelli created more than 100 Equity professional productions at Northern Stage, half of which she directed. Three of her productions won the New England Theatre Conferences Moss Hard Award for Excellence.
At the same time, Ciardelli built the company into a thriving theater with an annual budget of well more than $2 million, remaining in the black most of the time.
The reason for Ciardellis leaving remains unclear and she offered no reason. The company statement continues, This change will allow Ms. Ciardelli to pursue other artistic projects, adding, while Northern Stage, which enjoyed its largest-ever attendance last season, focuses on future goals, including expanding the patron base, developing a more robust education program, and continuing the work on stage that has entertained and enlightened northern New England for a decade and a half.
In September, Russell Maitland, a theater-business professional, became Northern Stages executive director, hired by the board. At that point, Ciardelli was scheduled to direct two productions in 2013, Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest (Feb. 6-24) and Ciardellis own adaptation of Arthur Millers A View from the Bridge (May 1-19). There has been no announcement as to the future of these productions.
Northern Stage is Vermonts largest full-season professional theater company, producing seven full productions annually at the Briggs Opera House. The company also offers myriad educational opportunities for all levels and all ages at a converted downtown car dealership the theater purchased.
Ciardelli said in the joint statement, I will greatly miss working with the extraordinary actors and designers who have come to Northern Stage again and again, attracted by the quality of the art and the tremendous support of the Upper Valley community, as well as the dedicated and talented staff members.
According to Board Chair Stuart Johnsons statement, Brooke will be missed. Although her career and Northern Stages paths will diverge, we will work together in making the transition a smooth one. She not only brought her talent and energy to Northern Stage, but her contacts in the theater community here and abroad allowed Northern Stage to bring a wide range of talent here for the benefit of Upper Valley audiences. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Definitely would recommend. Patrick picked up our car, later called what needs to be done, fixed wiring on the front headlights, changed the bulb and dropped off the car. Everything at no extra cost.
Helpful, professional and efficient service. Easy to understand language for a layperson and honest views. Will be a repeat customer and recommend to others.
Patrick is amazing, he is reassuring and has many years of experience so be assured you're in good hands, had clutch and fly wheel done at a good price. Highly recommend and will use his services again. Free pick up and delivery as well!
Excellent, prompt response from Patrick. The work was carried out within a few days and he was able to pick the car up. I will be going back to him again for other work that needs doing. A very helpful approach that really helped reduce my stress levels, thank you very much.
Fantastic service,best mechanic i have ever used,and i have used a few,highly recommended.
10 out of 10 best garage I've been too price was more as I got new pads fitted too
Excellent service. Friendly staff. The work done was thoroughly explained and the price was very good.
A great find which was actually closer than I thought. From the minute i went out for a quote on having my brakes replace they were the first to reply; and promptly to any questions or concerns to my email. Price was right and on the day was completed promptly. Several small F.o.C items were attended to like topping up the wiper fluid and checking for any other remedial work that may be required - and suitable explainations given. From my experience if you want work completed with a relatively competitive price - then these guys are for you. I only have one reservation - and that is it wasn't clear that it was CASH ONLY.... which put me in a pickle as i didn't have a local bank branch to close. At least accepting debit cards would make everyone life a little easier - especially when dealing with larger ££ transactions.
Really great service, polite and happy to explain everything. Price was as quoted. One slight surprise was that they only take cash, so be prepared!
I am very satisfied with the Service offered by Anees Autocare Centre. They were very professional, honest and quick to replace my brake pads. It was also the best price I could fine, overall amazing value! I will definitely go back and I can highly recommend this garage. Thanks again guys and keep up the great work!
Good price and very helpful and professional.
Job finished on time for the agreed sum. Excellent customer service and value for money, I will definitely be back in the future and recommend Ross Motors to my friends and family.
Very happy, good service
Would highly recommend Ross Motors. Professional and very helpful.
Yes. They did a great job on my car but also fantastic customer service. Kept me informed and were very helpful and polite.
Checked the car over and fixed any minor faults too.
Everything was fine, very kind people, great job. Thank you very much !
Great service good job nice people only thing I disagreed with was taking my car to stevenage to have work done by computer the car is my job as being a mini cab driver and if anything happened to it I was out of work being self employed but job well done and would recommend them.
Fantastic, price was as quoted despite the garage find another problem with the car, would definitely use again and recommend!
Exceptional. The bodywork repaired/restored on my car was just brilliant. The garage & staff are very reliable and polite. The work was completed on time and the final cost was exactly as quoted. Highly recommended & I will certainly use them again.
Had full servicing for my car, was really good and hassle free.
The true is i have decided to make this garage my permanent one. They are on point. Honest ....
My car had a really bad oil leak coming from the oil filter as previous garage broke the housing part. Went to st anthonys garage and he fixed it the same day. Would highly recomend very experienced
I don't recommend and NEVER gonna do anything with this garage ANYMORE...
Excellent service
Mike is brilliant, patient, professional and explains everything to those of us who know absolutely nothing about cars. I paid him exactly what he quoted no hidden extras. A Smart car is a tricky one to sort out regardless of the problem and after trying several garages found Sphynx Garage on Whocanfixmycar.com Mike is fantastic. He rang me up and asked what the problem was. Came our at a time convenient to me, diagnosed the problem and had it sorted that night. Explained everything he was doing and why. Booked the car in for an MOT with him too. Excellent service highly recommend this garage.
Mike was very helpful and polite. He had excellent customer service skills. With extensive knowledge of car mechanics and a quick turn around time I would definitely recommend him to others. I will be contacting Mike in the future for all my car repairing needs.
My speed dial was not working on my Vauxhall Corsa and I wanted to find a place to fix this problem. I went on line on to who can fix my car. I did not have to wait long Mike from Sphynx Vehicle repairs responded back within the hour and left me a number that I could call. Mike was polite an explained the process that my car was to have a diagnostic test he got back to me straight away with the results and choices which was on offer and how much each of these was going to cost and how long this would take after making my decision Mike kept me informed and updated me on the progress and when my car was going to be ready. The invoice listed the works carried out the speed dial is now fixed. I will be using this company in future the customer service is very good and Mike is contactable and is always ready to explain the full issues occurring with your car I would recommend him to my friends and family members
Very impressed with the service and speed in which Mike solved the problem with my van. Can highly recommend him.
I finally found a great mechanic next door! He offered me to collect my car at my address, then showed me all the parts which I needed to be replaced, giving me different options of parts about quality and prices. He kept me updated about the work progress and He took only one day to fix it. ( Only because the parts wasn't available straight away). Now my car runs perfectly without any problems. I definitely suggest this garage!

Man with $40M estate dies without will
Holocaust survivor, 97, contemplated writing will 2 weeks before death
The state of New York may get a Holocaust survivor's $40 million fortune after the man died without a will or any apparent survivors.
Roman Blum was 97 when he died in January 2012. His early life is a mystery -- his exact birthdate is in dispute, and he may have had a wife and children who died in World War II, according to the New York Times. He arrived in the U.S. with his second wife in 1949, but the couple later split up and had no children. Blum's ex-wife died in 1992.
In the U.S., he became a real estate developer and ultimately amassed a $40 million fortune. But he never wrote a will, and if no survivors can be found, that money will go to the state after three years, according to Forbes.
Blum's accountant and friend Mason D. Corn told the Times that he finally got his friend to agree to sit down and make out a will about two weeks before he died, but a trip Corn had to take created an unfortunate delay.
"I had to go away, and so he told me, 'OK, when you come back I will do it.' But by then it was too late. We came this close, but we missed the boat," Corn told the Times.

It goes without saying that cancer is a horrible disease. But there's some good news: We're surviving more often than not. In fact according to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for all cancers diagnosed between 1999 and 2006 was 68 percent, up from 50 percent between 1975 and 1977.
The organization attributes this to progress in early diagnosis and treatment.
But another good way to improve your odds against cancer is to recognize what you are doing -- and what's in your environment -- that could putting you at a higher risk for cancer.
Not to be alarmist, but the things we do every day, and take for granted, might increase your risk for different cancers. You don't have to totally change your life and go live in a tent in the woods, but there are some things to be cognizant of that can help you, starting with where you live ...
No. 5: Where you live
The term "cancer cluster" is a name given by epidemiologists and public health workers to describe an area where multiple people have all developed cancer. The concern is even more pronounced when those people all have the same type of cancer.
Cancer clusters occur in places where environmental factors make them more likely. For instance, they are often seen around power lines or where toxic waste has been improperly disposed of.
Of course, if a power plant's neighbors suddenly develop the same type of cancer, the neighbors might assume that the power plant is the source of the trouble. But the power plant owners would be eager to point to stacks of research and documentation -- bolstered by subsequent investigation by health officials -- showing that their company couldn't possibly be the source of trouble.
No matter who is right, being near a cancer cluster might be cause to consider moving.
But wherever you move, you're still going to have to deal with dirt. Which brings us to our next risk ...
No. 4: Radon
Most of our homes have radon detectors. It's sort of a chic domestic thing these days, and they give us a sense of security. But what do you do it the detector goes off? And what is radon, anyway?
The No. 2 cause of lung cancer doesn't come from something like burning tires or wearing bad cologne. It comes from an unlikely source -- the ground beneath your feet.
Radon is a gas that occurs in the ground and then permeates through your basement to affect your home. It occurs naturally, so it's not something that you can blame on the neighborhood strychnine factory.
Radon is something that you can test for. A kit costs about $20, and you can install a radon alarm that can help sniff out trouble. What do you do if radon is detected? A radon remediation system costs between $1,000 and $2,000.
No. 3: Overcooking meat
If you watch cooking shows, preparing a steak or burger well done causes the chefs to curl their noses in disgust. While that sentiment is food snobby, there is some health logic behind it. There is evidence to support the statement that overcooking meat can increase the risk of cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Science time: The culprit seems to be heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These chemicals are formed when meat -- including beef, pork, fish and poultry -- are cooked using high-temperatures, like pan frying or grilling over an open flame.
This doesn't mean you have to go vegan, wear hemp and change your name to Moonbeam.
According to the National Cancer Institute, HCA and PAH formation can be mitigated by avoiding direct exposure of meat to an open flame or a hot metal surface. If also helps if you reduce cooking time and use a microwave oven to partially cook the meat before you take it to high temperature sources.
Once you've eaten all that tasty grilled meat, you might want to work it off ...

Encore careers give new life to baby boomers
Retirees aim for more satisfaction second time around
Ed Warn says his father, a farmer, talked him out of majoring in agricultural studies when he started college. Instead, Warn went into civil engineering and worked in that field for 34 years before he retired in 2002.
Rather than moving to Florida and hitting the golf course, Warn, 61, now spends his days on his own farm raising natural chickens, cattle and pigs.
Warn doesn't regret his years as an engineer but says farming "is something he's wanted to do since he was a kid."
"I had a great career as an engineer, I raised a family in the city, but farming just speaks to my heart," he said.
Warn is part of a growing trend among baby boomers embarking on "encore careers" after retirement. A recent survey by D. Hart Research Associates estimates that up to 8.4 million baby boomers have already launched an encore career -- with many turning to the nonprofit, education and health sectors.
For some retirees, a sustained source of income is essential, but for others, it's more about finding fulfillment in their work.
"It would be nice to make a profit, but it's not about that" I wish everyone could experience the enjoyment that I do everyday -- in doing something that I love," Warn said.
Why Keep Working?
While there are the many retired Americans who work because they have to, there is an increasing amount like Warn who work because they want to.
CEO of Civic Ventures and author of Encore: Finding Work That Matters in the Second Half of Life, Mark Freedman told U.S. News and World News Report, very few retirees start a second career purely for the money.
"Longer working lives bring with them many potential benefits for individuals -- a longer time to earn and save, as well as purpose, structure, physical and mental health, and an expanding social circle," Freedman said.
Because baby boomers have the freedom to choose what their encore career is -- there is a greater chance they will experience a higher level of satisfaction.
"They're (retirees) searching for work that is fulfilling and gets them out of bed in the morning." For some, the income is essential. For others, it's an added insurance policy against dwindling retirement accounts," he said.
Finding Work
For the increasing number of baby boomers looking for an encore career, the good news is there are plenty of sources available to them.
Retirees can go to Web sites such as AARP.org, Careerbuilder.com and Monster.com which offer links, resume help and resources for finding work.
Less computer savvy boomers can open up the job section of their local paper or call businesses directly to inquire about employment opportunities.
For more intimate help, retirees can contact companies such as Freedman's Civic Ventures that specialize in helping baby boomers find work after retirement.
Civic Ventures has more than five different programs to help retirees find their second career calling, including Encore.org which helps boomers return to school and receive certifications in fields they wish to enter.

An Oklahoma man recently got stuck where the sun literally doesn't shine -- a septic tank at a local park.
Kenneth Webster Enlow, 52, is accused of watching a woman and her 7-year-old daughter from underneath an outhouse at White Water Park in near the Keystone Dam, the Tulsa World reported.
The woman called police after seeing Enlow looking up at her, police said.
He was pulled out of the tank covered in human waste and hosed off by fire and rescue officials.
Enlow told police his girlfriend knocked him out with a tire iron and dumped him in the toilet -- a story authorities find hard to believe, Tulsa TV station KJRH reported.
He's now jailed on peeping Tom charges, but could face felony charges once prosecutors review the criminal complaint.

A woman was attacked by at least six cats while walking her dog in France.
The feral cats pounced on the unnamed dog owner as she walked her poodle in the city of Belfort, France, dragging her to the ground and injuring her, according to the French publication The Local.
The 31-year-old woman was bitten repeatedly and even suffered a tear in an artery. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment, while her pet poodle, which was also hurt in the attack, was separately transported to a veterinarian clinic.
While cats do not usually attack humans so savagely, feral felines are known to attack on occasion or when threatened.
A local Belfort police spokesman suggested that the attack was "very unusual," but added, "Tourists from countries like Britain should certainly be wary – they should certainly not approach these cats, or try to feed them."

Revisionist History
Posted 09 September 2012 - 12:18 PM
"Revisionist History". Originally this was going to be a compilation release, but budget issues, emcees and other projects pushed it to the back burner. As time passed, I had a handful of tracks and numerous beats, but ultimately it was shelved. (although I did let people hear the rough tracks that were finished) This project has been a long time coming and I decided to turn it into a monthly installment.
So, how do we set it off? What should be the 1st release/installment for "Revisionist History?" Since I've started making beats for this project and collected records, there have been many different tracks/beats to select from. Bottom line, the jump off needs to be something undeniable, something classic... something that everyone will get.
Zapp & Roger's classic "More Bounce To The Ounce" is probably one of the sickest beats of all time and it helped define a lot of the west coast's sound. EPMD, South Central Cartel, J. Dilla and COUNTLESS others have used this classic track from Zapp & Roger to make instant heat. At one point it was so OVER sampled that it was almost a cliche when you'd listen to a random west coast rapper. (much like Skull Snaps and Substitution break on a lot of east coast hip hop)
So... enough with the blah blah. The jump off for "Revisionist History" is a remix to Vintage Dope upcoming single "Cratebangin".

Sly & The Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" is easily one of the funkiest drum breaks and has been used by damn near EVERYBODY. The horns and the drums are simply undeniable. From Dr. Dre's "Deep Cover" to Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance" to KRS-One's "Sound of Da Police", this break has simply MADE CLASSIC HIP HOP.
The copy I found was from when I worked at a record shop in Seattle. It was in the dollar bin and scratched/well played. When I dropped the needle and heard how the drums were panned to one side/singled out and it was SO gritty, I just bugged out. So many cats want to clean up their samples, but I wanted it dirty and even threw it in the SP1200 to give it that 12bit sound.
This beat was one of the original tracks for the beat tape I made when I 1st thought up this project. It sat for a long while until I finally came up with something to do with it. (sadly years) At the time I moved on from the "Revisionist History" project and I was thinking of using it for the "Basement Sessions" follow up. I even came up with a concept for releasing this track, but who knows... it may resurface as a promo in the future. But... now with the rebirth of this project I thought I had to drop it for "Revisionist History".
"The Crackle" is simply that... a song about diggin', dope records, the grit, the grime and the imperfections that make records so much more appealing than microwave glossy music in this digital age.

Starting off a new year with another joint from the "Revisionist History" project. This track was one of the 1st songs that was laid down and some of you may have heard it, but here it is FINALLY and officially released. There's a LOT of back story behind this song and it's honestly one of the dopest recording experiences I've had.
When I first was thinking about this project and planting seeds, I was in the process of leaving Seatown, finishing "Basement Sessions" and trying to network with artists in Indy. (preemptive strike before I got there) I heard of The Mudkids, but didn't know they were from Naptown. When I discovered they were from Indy, I started a dialog with Rusty about the scene, what I did, what I was working on etc. I mentioned the "Revisionist History" project and he said he did a couple tracks along those lines in the past, one being a flip of Ultramagnetic MC's "Ego Trippin". He sent me the track and it was ON.
After hearing the track that Rusty did, I asked him if he would be down to do a pseudo sequel or a continuation of that song. He was down and I got to work on the SP. Meanwhile... a friend of mine from Seattle also did a flip of "Ego Trippin" and the Melvin Bliss/Substitution break. I asked Ced, who was the DJ for Likeminded, if he wanted to collab on this track. (Two beatmakers/DJs flipping the same break making two beats and one emcee ripping the track.) Ced was down and sent me the session files.
The version I did was some classic break beat boom bap and Ced's joint was more updated with a nod to the past. I thought the two together would seriously be a dope mixing of the two styles. The files, however, didn't translate well in my DAW. (and now looking back, I now know how I could have fixed the problem) Alas, I did the best I could and honestly I thought the two together were pretty dope. BUT, in order to get them to work I had to do a lot of cutting, pasting, splicing, chopping etc. Ced's original beat was becoming more and more a remix of his beat than his original. We went along with recording it as it was, but after I had a rough mix of the track with Rusty's vocals, Ced decided he wasn't liking it and wanted his portion to be taken out. In the long run he was right because it ended up becoming a better song.
I went back to the SP1200 and made another beat. I could have kept the same beat and kept it rocking through the whole track, but the idea of what Ced and I were doing was to keep it moving and changing up to keep the listener engaged. The foundation was the same with the Melvin Bliss break, but I wanted something else. On a couple of the other beats I made for the project I was not only flipping classic hip hop records, but kind of doing a mash up of different OG source samples. (Example: the main beat you'd hear would be the Tom Scott/T.R.O.Y. sample, but I'd chop "Impeach the President" to sound like the drum pattern to "Top Billin.") Having that concept in mind, I wanted to do the same with this song, but have it continuously progress and change on some DJ and emcee ish. The final product is a mix of Ultramagnetic, BDP, The Beatnuts, Public Enemy, Gangstarr and more.
As for recording the vocals... I already knew Rusty could rock a show. He truly is an emcee and a master of ceremony. I originally thought he was just going to do a redux version of the track he originally did, but I was in for a surprise. Rusty came through, walked into my studio, chopped it up for a few minutes about records and then got to work. I threw on the beat and he just sat down, pulled out his comp book and started writing. In what seemed like only 20 minutes or so, he had his rhymes done and was like, "Let's do this!" Not only had he come up with new lyrics on the spot, but it was some party rocking rhymes that were about him rollin' up to the spot, the dog barking at him, sitting down working on the song and what the "Revisionist History" project was. We hit record and within just a couple takes we were done. I honestly have only worked with a handful of people that have been able to do something like this and it was so dope to witness it in action.
ULTRA SOMETHIN' is some straight hip hop.
So without further delay, check this month's "Revisionist History" track "Ultra Somethin" and cop my man Rusy Redenbacher's new project "Lower."

Sometimes when I write, it takes forever... other times, it flows like water. This track was one of those joints that just came together quickly. In many ways, this project is forcing me to do that. BUT... in some ways the source material for this track started in February 2002, when I met my wife, so it's had time to build and develop.
At the start of the New Year I had no idea what to do for the upcoming month's installment. I was working on a couple things and listening to a lot of music, as I do during my long commutes everyday. I suddenly thought about taking on one of my favorite Slum Village tracks. But, instead of just sampling, chopping etc. I decided to replay it on my Fender Rhodes. "Fall In Love", in my opinion, is one of J. Dilla/Slum Village's most iconic songs. Being February and the anniversary of Dilla's birthday/death I decided to do the closest thing to a tribute that I could. These days, J. Dilla mixes and tributes are kind of a dime a dozen as he's become the underground 2pac, but I wanted to do something special that wasn't just the token ish you see on boards and blogs.
So... with the help of many artists I know and look up to, the song took shape. I'd ask their opinion, let them hear demos, ideas ets. I wanted to know if they thought I was on to something of if I was out of my mind because there's a thin line between paying homage and just looking like a buster. And with this dialog the 2nd half/verse came to be. I almost thought it was TOO crazy, but I thought the themes of the tracks and the vibe would work well together. In my opinion I think they do. (enter Common's classic "I Used To Love H.E.R.")
I could probably go on and on about the behind the scenes with this track or talk about what it could have been/become, but I honestly think the best thing to do is to just let it play.

Rakim... what can I say that you haven't heard from a million other people. He's simply one of the illest to ever touch the mic. That being said, there was no way I couldn't flip something from Rakim's catalog for this project.
(enter "True Lies")
"Microphone Fiend" is one of my favorite Rakim cuts and I wanted to capture the feel of some dope cats just droppin' some rap ish on the mic. Long story short, some how was able to connect with Wildchild. (probably through Myspace... yes this track has that much of a history) I let him listen to a handful of beats and this was the joint that he wanted to rock to. In many ways he came up with the concept of the track. Everything else was after the fact. I think I wrote my verse, then Verb from Dolla Bin dropped the hook and after about a year or more Fash-1 was able to drop his.
As time passed and the project was kind of put up on the shelf, I had a rough version of this track out there, but it was kind of left at that. Now here we are... FINALLY!!! This track is honestly one of the high points of the music I've worked on and really embodies what this project is all about.

The short story and the one that matters...
1st heard this jam, Mr. Carlos Walkman/
On the bus rollin home with a Source in my hand/
Last page, Sure Shot, as the cassette drops/
Baby a$$, so smooth ride till the wheel stops/
Had the poster, torn from the magazine/
Binder gloss framed like a backpacker vaccine/
Front on a classic, other legends with the sickness/
Man I'm out 5,000, back to the crate business/
That's how I first heard Black Moon's - "I Gotch' Opin (remix)". This was one of those pivotal moments in my journey of 90s hip hop. That song was one of the cuts that made be pretty much quit listening to west coast rap music and jump on almost anything east coast related. I already was into Tribe, Gangstarr, Diamond D and Wu, but this kind of sealed the deal.
That being said, I HAD to flip this cut and pay my respects to one of my favorite tracks of all time! And what better way to do it than to have some of the emcees you've looked up to for SO long on the track too. (Prince Po and Moka Only)
Don't Front...
Posted 03 May 2013 - 04:49 AM
Like many of the beats I made for this project I wanted to nod to classic hip hop tracks and create something new. Sometimes this ended up in using material that was reference to a few classics all in one. This cut is a complete example of that. Kool G Rap, ODB, Rob Bass... heck CB4 (via Kool G Rap)
I originally contacted Pacewon to drop a verse and was talking with a few people I knew about finishing it. In these phone conversations and emails I basically came up with the hook as an homage to what ODB did on Wu-Tang's "Shame On a Nuh" and got Pacewon to drop it.
Then it sat... budget... emcees... life... etc.
It was a few months before I was going to head back to Seattle and I was talking with A.C.E.-One about working on a completely different track. He rolled through to work on something and missed my house/got lost. (which most people did 1st time coming to my place in Indy) I gave him directions once I found out where he was and then about 15-20 minutes after he didn't show up I looked out the front door to see this 80s style truck that was broke down. It was A.C.E. I walked out front and helped him get his truck to the side of the street so he could call to get it towed. As he was getting his rhyme book, keys and other things out of his truck I remember a .22 falling off the bench seat and he quickly picked it up and put it in his pants. HAHAHA We got inside, he made a call, I got him a beer and was ready to work on a different song. I don't remember how, but he heard this track and was like, "YO, I WANNA DO THIS!" We did a couple takes to warm up and then A.C.E. decided he wanted to go with this back and forth style, 1 bar on one take and then answer it on the other take. Just back and forth... it was ill. Such energy... that's why A.C.E. is one of the illest emcees out of Naptow. (period)
So, here we are, 2/3 of the track is finished and the "Revisionist History" project is back in full swing. It's been too long to sit on it and there's no reason to not finish it. (Enter Luvva-J) Picked him up, he sat down, wrote his verse and in two takes was done. BOOM!!! That's how V-Dope gets down.
It may have taken forever to finish this song, but it was worth it and the song came out dope because it wasn't rushed.

Best laid plans. Originally there was a different track planned for the June release, but things just didn't pan out. Instead I found myself remixing a track that I haven't even released yet. And oddly without me even thinking about it, the track fit SO well with what it's paying homage to. I even made a reference to O.C.'s classic in the rhymes when I did the original. (even if it was NEVER intended that way)
This song I originally wrote when I first moved from Seattle to Indy. I had just finished principal recording of "Basement Sessions" and was in this in-between phase of what my next move was going to be. I was kind of bored with just working on post production for "Basement Sessions" and at the time didn't have access to my gear, records etc. I just had my laptop and a removable harddrive with drums. From that short period I created the original version of this song and the redux version of "Lyrics & Beats". Maybe the original version will see the light of day, but for now it's getting the remix treatment.
I'm just going to keep it simple... the name, the flip... BOOM!

Vintage Dope has been the side project that's been bubbling for a minute. We dropped a snippet tape, "Cratebangin" and the remix for the 1st "Revisionist History" installment. Here we are at the beginning of summer and we need something that will reflect the change in season. For instance... when it gets warmer, I bust out my "Hellified Gangsta Sh!t" playlist for the car. To quote Luvva-J, "I had to do it baby!"
This was actually the song I was wanting to drop last month, but scheduling got in the way. Good things come to those who wait and here we are. I'm not going to lie, I think this is one of the hardest songs I have EVER heard about crate diggin', DJing, etc.and that's GOOD. I honestly think if you're going to do a side project it better be different from what you're normally putting out. It defeats the purpose of doing something different if it doesn't sound different. And that's what Vintage Dope is. When I try to explain it to a lot of people, they don't seem to understand it, but once they hear it, they're on board. (hop on the train homie)
And although "Cratebangin" was already released, I truly think this track is more of a introduction into the vibe and group. Simply put, this track is "V-Dope Biz."
Let's set the summer off with some ILL V-Dope ISH!!! Get on down baby!

Talk about a fashion faux pas.
Target is apologizing after listing the same dress on its website this week as "dark heather gray" in standard sizes and "manatee gray" for plus-sized women.
Twitter user Susan Clemens called out the discrepancy in a tweet that included a screengrab of the two different dresses, writing "What the. Plus sized women get "Manatee Grey" while standard sizes are "Dark Heather Grey." #notbuyingit
Within 24 hours, her tweet went viral across Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and several blogs.
"I really didn't expect it to spread as widely as it has, but people are tired of having the size and shape of their body commented on, and that's what this color discrepancy seems to imply," Clemens told ABC News.
Target spokesman Joshua Thomas told Forbes "manatee gray" is used to decribe many other products on the Target website, some in women's regular and even petite sizes.
In this case, there was miscommunication between the teams responsible for Target's standard and plus-sized products.
Thomas told Forbes one team used the official name of the color, while the other simply eyeballed it.
"We apologize for any discomfort this might have caused and are working to update the name of the dress to reflect Dark Heather Gray," he said. "This was an unfortunate oversight and we'll take it into consideration moving forward."

Senate puts Vt. on verge of nation's first GMO label lawBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | April 16,2014MONTPELIER The Vermont Senate gave preliminary approval Tuesday to legislation that requires foods containing genetically modified ingredients to be labeled as such.
The 26-2 vote sets Vermont on a course to become the first state to require labeling of GMOs. The House passed a similar version of the bill, H.112, last year.
The legislation passed by the Senate would take effect July 1, 2016; the House version would kick in July 1 of this year.
Two other states Connecticut and Maine have passed labeling laws, but theirs require other states to do the same before they take effect.
Three state Senate committees Agriculture, Judiciary and Appropriations worked to craft a bill that will provide Vermonters more information about the foods they eat. Committee members also looked to make the proposed law as defensible in court as possible. It is widely believed that the first state to enact a GMO labeling bill will be sued.
Sen. David Zuckerman, P-Chittenden, vice chairman of the Agriculture Committee, said labeling will be the responsibility of the producer.
We made it clear that the labeling requirement is on the manufacturer of the food, on the processed, packaged food. Its not the retail store obligation to label what is and whats not, he told his colleagues.
He said food manufacturers that do not want to carry a label indicating that GMOs may be present will need to secure affidavits from the suppliers of their ingredients stating they are free of GMOs.
Sen. Richard Sears, D-Bennington, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said his panel tried to make sure that as best as possible the state would be able to defend against a potential lawsuit.
He said if the courts strike down the law they would be saying the consumer doesnt have a right to know whats in their food.
The Judiciary Committee added to the legislation a special fund that is aimed at helping the state defend the law. Sears said Attorney General William Sorrell has estimated it would cost at least $1 million to fight an industry lawsuit.
The fund would accept private donations but could also be filled with settlement money secured by the attorney generals office.
There is no way that we can say, No. 1, that we would prevail should we be sued, but I think we have given ourselves the best opportunity to prevail, should it arise, Sears said.
Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, asked if the attorney general had figured the odds of prevailing in court should the state be sued.
I dont believe the attorney general is a gambler, Sears replied. I dont know how he could develop odds any more than we can.
However, Sears said if the state loses it could cost between $5 million and $8 million if it has to pay the legal fees of the prevailing party.
Sen. Peg Flory, R-Rutland, one of two senators to vote against the bill, noted that several groups, including the World Health Organization and the National Academy of Sciences, have said that theres no scientific justification for special labels.
Flory asked if the three committees that reviewed the bill considered labeling the 20 percent or so of food products that do not contain GMOs, rather than the overwhelming majority of products that do.
Zuckerman said that would be problematic because there is currently no agreed-upon definition of a natural product. And he said the cost to determine something does not contain GMOs is actually more expensive than the other way.
Sen. Norm McAllister, R-Franklin, also voted against the bill. He said people have the right to know what is in their food but that the bill wouldnt accomplish that.
McAllister, a farmer, said he uses GMO products because he believes they are environmentally safer. He said the passionate opposition to GMOs stems from misinformation that the public heard.
Thats what theyve been told, or thats what theyve heard, he said. Its a scare tactic, as far as Im concerned, and thats why I dont support it.
Advocates, some of whom have worked for decades to pass such legislation, hailed the Senate vote as a major victory.
Today the Senate stood up for the vast majority of Vermonters who want to see genetically engineered foods labeled, said Falko Schilling, a consumer protection advocate with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. Vermont is once again leading the nation by acknowledging the important fact that everyone has a right to know what they are eating.
Andrea Stander, director of Rural Vermont, also hailed the vote.
This is a victory for everyone who eats, Stander said. It is fitting that Vermont, where we take food seriously, is on the way to becoming the first state in the U.S. to require that genetically engineered foods be labeled.
The bill is up for final approval in the Senate today before heading back to the House, where minor differences between the two versions must be reconciled.

A man hit by a train in South Topeka on Thursday night was able to walk away from the incident.
Authorities were called just before 6:30 p.m. to the tracks off South Topeka Boulevard, Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones told WIBW.
The BNSF train's conductor told authorities the crew saw a man walking on the tracks. Authorities said the crew blew the horn to warn him, and when he didn't move, they hit the emergency brakes.
Authorities said the crew noticed injuries to the man's leg but he kept walking, eventually getting into a car.
The Shawnee County Sheriff's Office identified the man as 25-year-old Kristopher Wenberg of Topeka. They said he was treated at the hospital for cuts to his leg and shoulder.
Authorities said Wenberg told them he was wearing headphones and didn't hear the train.

Long established as the No. 3 Japanese brand in the U.S. market, Nissan's record has been less consistent than those of its larger Japan-based rivals. Nissan was established in Japan in 1933 and made vehicles under the Datsun brand for decades. The first Datsun sedan arrived in the U.S. in 1958, followed a year later by a compact pickup truck. By the Sixties, Datsun also was establishing its chops in the American sports-car market with the SPL-210, and by 1969 it had introduced the Z sports-car brand that remains popular to this day. By 1975, Datsun had become the top vehicle importer in the U.S. Nissan also became the first Japanese brand to build trucks in America with its Tennessee manufacturing operation in 1983. At around the same time, Nissan decided to switch out the Datsun name and began worldwide marketing of its vehicles using the Nissan name. The Sentra subcompact and Altima mid-sized sedan become staples in the U.S. market, and by 1993 Altima was the best-selling new nameplate in America. Globally, however, Nissan was facing the pressures of industry consolidation, and in 1999 it joined forces with similarly ailing Renault. Renault chief Carlos Ghosn took over joint headship and immediately began reviving the combined entity. Today, Nissan remains one of the mainstream Big Six automakers in the U.S.

The Red Sox Game – We Finished It Right!
Back to back wins. Now that is the way to end our season match-ups against the Red Sox! Wednesday night was downright magical. I am used to watching the Angels east coast games on delay, so it was a nice treat for me, if not for the players, to hear that the game was just resuming from a 2 and a half hour rain delay as I was turning off the freeway from my evening commute. So we got to watch a full game's worth of innings live – that game went late! Then today, to catch snippets of the game on the radio and know that my tired Angels were apparently a lot less tired that the Red Sox with Pawtucket reinforcements? Well, that was even better.
Coming home to watch losses on Monday and Tuesday was just a downer. I wasn't particularly down on the Angels season prospects, mind you. Outside of games involving teams from Boston (and Kansas City) they've been playing really well this season. But getting pummeled is always a downer, especially when you know the outcome could have been different.
These last two games though? Wow! Heads up plays. Stellar pitching. Bats, bats and more bats! Hey, this visiting team on the field? They looked suspiciously like my Angels! Way to go guys! Way to recover. And, Mr. Vernon Wells, I am glad to see you get your swagger back, sir, and deservedly so. Seriously, another home run over the monster. A couple of great plays against the monster. And I love the way he runs the bases when he's on a roll. Just when I think he was a little too daring, he reaches the bag standing up or with an unhurried slide just ahead of the ball. Of course, when I talk about base running, I have to mention Peter Bourjos, who recovered nicely from two bad games and lit up the basepaths – and, apparenlty, Kevin Youkilis! – with his speed.
Torii's hitting again, warming up with the summer weather as predicted – even though it was cold and wet in Boston. Heck, everyone was hitting these last two games, including Bobby Abreu with the game winning hit among others, and Mark Trumbo with another shot over the monster. I have to give love to the bullpen too, which more than rose to the occasion. I am starting to love seeing Scott Downs and Rich Thompson striding out to the mound. And Trevor Bell was lights out, shutting Boston down for the last four innings Wednesday. And the fielding! Did anyone else see the play at the plate? Perfect throws from Wells and Aybar to Jeff Mathis at the plate who positioned his feet and body so perfectly, that he rolled Marco Scutaro with the tag and brought his sliding feet to a halt against Mathis's own feet three inches shy of the plate. And the way, Mathis then popped up instantaneously to stare Youkilis down at second. Chills. I have a major soft spot for catchers, as I may have mentioned in this blog a time or ten, so this was my favorite play of the series – absolutely gorgeous to watch.
So, do I think this means the Angels are past their troubles with the Red Sox and can play them on even footing from now on? Would that I could say yes, but I think the weird, uneven rivalry goes back too far for that. However, this is a great start. It leaves the team in the right mood going into their next home stand and sets the proper tone for all future encounters with the dreaded Red Sox – who I was amused to hear serenading Youkilis with Biz Markie's Just a Friend at every at bat. Now that's man-crushing open and unrestrained, and quirky to boot, and I have to admire them for that, even as the incongruity of it all amused me to no end.

Pretty surprised at how y'all manhandled Lackey… but I'm sure that felt good for a change. I'm really beginning to like Bourjos and his game. He fits so nicely with this team… he could become very good for a very long time.
Jeff – That felt great! The thing with Lackey is that he gets extra frustrated once you start hitting him, so mistakes tend to snowball and he becomes more hittable. Hopefully he won't be so unbeatable for us in the future. I'm glad Bourjos is starting to get some love outside of the Big A. I think he's going to be one of the players that's fun to watch no matter who you usually root for.
– Kristen
When the Angels play Boston it reminds me of the nursery rhyme about the Little Girl – When she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid.
So glad we ended the series with the good!
Impressive wins for the Angels. Winning in Boston is never an easy thing to do, no matter what their record.
Lana – So very, very true. And now more of them have curls to boot, what with so many Angels shunning scissors this season and all, LOL.
Mark – And I am thrilled to watch him do it in Angels red.🙂 I sure there will be a few stops and starts but that overall the warming trend will continue for Wells bat.
— Kristen
Congratulations to the Angels for finally getting the monkey (and I don't mean the rally monkey) off their back and beating the Red Sox back to back.
You're on a roll. We (I hesitate to say it out loud for fear I will jinx it) are on a little bit of a roll. Even if your boys kick my boys' sorry butts, I'm going to enjoy this week, as long as there is some quality baseball. And, no one has to play in the sleet and hail and rain this time around.
-Keleigh (Watching the Dandelions Grow)
Just to prove how big of a nerd my dad is, after hearing on the broadcast the other night that Trevor Bell's grandfather played Bozo the Clown here in Chicago, I decided to test my dad. I said that "Trevor Bell pitched a good inning for the Angels the other night." and my dad said "Trevor Bell, wait… he isn't related to Bob Bell, the guy who played Bozo, is he?" I love my dad. And Bell is a monster. I look forward to facing Chatmaple in this next series! =P
– Anders (The Hitless Wonders)
Jane -Thanks Jane! These were definitely morale victories, infinitely more important that moral victories in baseball.
Keleigh – I'm looking forward to the coming series against the White Sox. I think it should be a good one, especially without the need for parkas.
Anders – That's a cute story. Nerd dads are the best. Bell is definitely a monster. I' like to see him as a starter someday. And you'll see Chatwood on Wednesdy.
Ooh! It'll be Chatwood vs. Peavy, then
– Anders
Anders – Peavy's pitching again? Very exciting!

Third-generation RCR driver to make his debut in The Great American Race
WELCOME, N.C. (November 9, 2012) – Richard Childress Racing has partnered with General Mills® for NASCAR Nationwide Series standout Austin Dillon to make his Daytona 500 debut driving the No. 33 Honey Nut Cheerios® Chevrolet on February 24, 2013, at Daytona International Speedway.
