I wasn't the only "Community" obsessive to breathe a sigh of relief when the NBC comedy returned for its fifth season last week, with creator Dan Harmon reinstalled at the helm after being discharged from his duties last year. The show suffered for it, morphing into a tepid facsimile. Now it's back to its old self: wonderfully bizarre and deeply funny.
"We just wrapped last week," co-star Danny Pudi told me late last month. Thirteen episodes were shot for Season 5, with Pudi returning as the pop culture savant Abed Nadir. "We never thought we'd make it this far. Never thought Dan would be back. I think our show has always been a magical and strange roller coaster of emotions."
More than anyone else on "Community," Abed is forever stepping in and out of various incarnations, channeling Andre Gregory in "My Dinner with Andre" for an entire episode or Don Draper for less than a minute or (as of last week) staging an uncanny impersonation of Nicolas Cage. Not to mention the "Dr Who" spoof he inhabits within the show, aka Inspector Spacetime.
Each season Pudi is asked to add yet more personas to Abed's roster. That versatility is par for the course for a guy who came up through Chicago's sketch and improv scene.
"I still remember the first time I saw an improv set at Second City," he said, "and I can't tell you anything that they said, but I remember the characters they were playing so well." Among the performers that night: "Key & Peele's" Keegan-Michael Key.
(Pudi returns to Chicago next week to appear at the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival with the group Siblings of Doctors. Go to chicagosketchfest.com for more info.)
Back in 2003, I wrote about an early show Pudi was in, and he mentioned it when we talked. "You said I looked like Ric Ocasek in that review!"
Well, sort of. What I wrote was this: "If a very young Ric Ocasek were crossed with a very young Bronson Pinchot, the result might look something like 24-year-old Danny Pudi, a rubbery-faced, lanky-limbed performer saddled with most of the heavy lifting in the latest revue from the Asian sketch comedy group Stir-Friday Night." The show wasn't much, but Pudi stood out even then.
I read back that portion of the review to Pudi. "That's awesome! I love that I remembered Ric Ocasek but I didn't remember Bronson Pinchot, which is hilarious because ("Community" co-star) Alison Brie calls me Bronson Pinchot all the time."
Pudi has spent most of the past few weeks finishing work on a short film commissioned by ESPN's "30 for 30" series called "Untucked." It premieres Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival and will air sometime this spring.
"It's about the history of Marquette's basketball jerseys," he said. (Pudi graduated from Marquette University in 2001.) "But the story in particular is about one jersey that was designed by a player named Bo Ellis (a Chicago native and member of the 1977 national championship team).
"It's a story about individual expression. And team. And success. It's a little about fashion, as well. All through the lens of this jersey, which was designed to be worn untucked outside the shorts. You're not allowed to do that (now). It was always a unique jersey to me.
"I grew up in Chicago and was a huge basketball fan, and I would always remember seeing pictures of that jersey and seeing pictures of that team. They were known to have a certain flair, but I never knew really the details of the story, so it was something that intrigued me."
This is Pudi's first time directing a film. "For me, it was very hands-on. I don't know much; I didn't go to school for filmmaking. When I say I don't know much — Nina, that applies to everything. I want to say that in the voice of Aaron Neville: (in Neville's falsetto) 'I don't know much …' But I think coming up through sketch comedy and Second City in Chicago there is this sense that you have to create your own material.
"So right now I'm trying to finish it." He let out a long laugh and then started singing: "Procrastinator! Procrastinator Pudi!"
"I always feel like my life has been last minute, running around scrambling. But it forces you to make decisions, whereas if I had too much time I think I'd flirt with the wrong decision too easily."
Before we hung up I promised to email Pudi a copy of that old review. I warned him that he might not like it, since it included the phrase "scrawny shoulders." As in: Danny Pudi's scrawny shoulders.
He didn't seem bothered.
"It's all true! It's tricky, because when I grew up, my identity being half-Indian, half-Polish, there weren't a lot of role models for me on television, where I could be like, 'I'm going to follow that guy.' Because I look like half-giraffe, half-non-giraffe. I think part of that is, you have to create your own material, especially if you have a different type of voice or different type of look."
He said he's working on a couple projects with one of the producers of his "30 for 30" film, including a TV pilot they are writing together. "I'm just collaborating with as many friends as possible, because that to me is the most fun, when you get to work with buddies."
"Community" airs 7 p.m. Thursdays on NBC. You can follow Danny Pudi on Twitter @dannypudi.
Sitcom is still in the game
Though CBS did not pick up the sitcom pilot "The McCarthys" last spring from former Second City main-stager Brian Gallivan, the show is getting a second shot at life. The family comedy about a sports-loving clan and the adult gay son who doesn't quite fit it is based on Gallivan's own Boston family. The show is being retooled (aka re-piloted) from a single-camera comedy to a multicam. There are some casting changes as well: Jacki Weaver, who played the mom, has been replaced with Steppenwolf ensemble member Laurie Metcalf (so good recently in HBO's "Getting On"). We'll find out in the spring if CBS plans to put the sitcom on its schedule.
More Chicagoans with TV shows
Yet another sitcom pilot from last year is getting the greenlight. NBC has given a series order to Chicago native Craig Robinson ("The Office") for his show "Mr. Robinson," in which he stars as a musician-turned-teacher, a premise based on his own post-collegiate life in Chicago when he taught at Horace Mann. According to Variety, NBC has ordered just six episodes so far and it is not clear when the show would debut.
In other news, Glencoe's David Caspe, the New Trier grad who created ABC's terrific-but-short-lived "Happy Endings," has a new single-camera comedy lined up at NBC about a newly engaged couple. Incidentally, Caspe himself recently became engaged to "Happy Endings" co-star Casey Wilson.
In memory of John Hughes
The Gorton Community Center in Lake Forest, where the late director and screenwriter John Hughes lived for so many years, is renovating its auditorium into a state-of-the-art space thanks to an endowment from Hughes' wife, Nancy. The new space will be called the John and Nancy Hughes Theater. "Our family found it a fitting tribute to his film legacy, which was often set in Chicago's North Shore," Hughes said in a statement. The updates will include a full-size movie screen. Go to gortoncenter.org.
The business of divorce
"The biggest single reason for divorce in this country is marriage," an attorney says with a laugh in the documentary "Divorce Corp" from director Joseph Sorge and producer (and Highland Park native) Philip Sternberg. The film asks: Why is divorce so expensive? (Sorge himself has some nasty baggage concerning his own divorce; a quick Google search reveals the details on a blog from University of San Diego School of Law professor Shaun Martin.) Per the movie, the system is rigged in favor of attorneys, who milk their clients for every penny they have. "I have to work 25 hours to pay for one hour of an arrogant attorney's time," as one woman puts it. And then there was this line: "More money passes through family law court than all the other courts combined." The doc opens this weekend and screens locally at the AMC Showplace Galewood 14. Go to divorcecorp.com.
21st-century China tale
The economic transformation of China in the last decade or so is explored in the film "Spilled Water," told through the lives of four women: a lawyer, a rural teacher, a factory worker and a farm wife. Director May May Tchao and producer Xan Aranda will be at both screenings for post-show discussions. 8 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday at the Siskel Film Center. Go to siskelfilmcenter.org/spilled-water.

How NASCAR landed a staggering TV deal despite ratings decline
As NASCAR staged its annual Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway July 28, it left many fans with a sinking feeling as they saw thousands of empty seats and witnessed what was for the most part an uninspiring race.
But just a few days earlier, NASCAR announced part of a staggering television package — a jaw-dropping $8.2 billion, 10-year deal with NBC and Fox. For a sport supposedly on the decline, it had just attracted its biggest windfall.
MORE: Mich. TV sked | Fox resolves cable dispute | Fox adds races | TV concerns
Since the last NASCAR TV deal negotiated in 2005, television ratings have fallen 47 percent for Sprint Cup telecasts and admissions revenue for the publicly traded track companies has plummeted 42 percent.
And yet NASCAR just landed a new deal in which the rights fees went up 46 percent, from an average of $560 million a year to $820 million. That's a boon for the sport, especially for NASCAR and its tracks with even the teams getting a piece.
MORE: Ganassi candidates | L.A. Times: Montoya fizzles | Detroit News: BK in trouble
NASCAR attracted that windfall thanks to the infant Fox Sports 1 and the emerging NBC Sports Network both wanting to go head-to-head with sports television behemoth ESPN. Television executives wanted a piece of the pie to drive higher subscription fees and advertising rates for live sports programming.
"There are a lot of well-financed television networks that are looking for compelling live product that has a track record — if you don't mind the pun — with the American public,†said former CBS Sports President Neal Pilson. "NASCAR fits that description.
"Ratings have been off from prior years, attendance is a little soft for a variety of reasons. But still when you look at the other options and choices that are out there for long form, long schedule events, NASCAR has been a good product ever since, frankly, I put the 1979 Daytona 500 on the air live.â€
Back in 2005 when NASCAR signed its current $4.48 billion eight-year television deal with Fox, ESPN and TNT, the sport enjoyed impressive television ratings with an average rating of 5.3 for the 36 Sprint Cup races. The three public track companies that have 90 percent of the races also benefited, reporting $450 million in ticket sales for all racing (including non-NASCAR) events.
When NASCAR went to the negotiating table last year, the majority of races had moved from network to cable with ratings dropping to an average rating of 3.6 in 2012. The relatively same track owners took in just $262 in admissions revenue.
But instead of dropping the rights fees, Fox and NBC — needing programming for their cable networks — gladly agreed to write big checks while ESPN and TNT scoffed at the idea of paying such big dollars for a sport that ranks as one of the most expensive to cover.
"Like all these deals, there is an element of being in the right place at the right time,†said Zak Brown, president of Just Marketing and a motorsports industry insider. "Competition is supply and demand and you didn't have NBC two years ago (before Comcast) acquired Versus.
"All it takes is two bidders to drive up the price. … If NBC hadn't been there and didn't have an agenda building a sports network, then the financial outcome might not have been as great.â€
Subscription fees the key
Whew. NASCAR fans can breathe a sigh of relief now that their cable company or satellite provider will carry the new Fox Sports 1 network.
But NASCAR fans be warned: Don't breathe too easily. More hold-your-breath moments loom in the future.
Fans should expect occasional battles of wills between the networks that carry NASCAR and the companies that distribute content, and it all stems from the TV deals NASCAR finalized in the last month.
Who did you think is going to pay for Fox and NBC dishing out $8.2 billion from 2015-2024 for the rights to televise NASCAR races?
Some of it will come from advertisers. But much of it will come from the companies that deliver Fox, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, NBC and NBC Sports Network to the public — a public that will eventually pay for it through an increase in their cable or satellite bills.
ESPN earns an estimated $5.50 per cable subscriber per month, paid by the cable or satellite operator, who then passes that cost on to its consumers through subscription rates.
Speed, which will be replaced by Fox Sports 1 beginning this weekend, reportedly gets 22 cents a month, according to SportsBusiness Journal. Fox Sports 1 will feature NASCAR, major league baseball, college sports and UFC.
NBC Sports Network reportedly gets 31 cents a month, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. It will have motorsports from IndyCar to Formula One to NASCAR as well as the Olympics, the NHL and soccer's English Premier League.
If a network can attract 50 cents more per month, at 80 million subscribers, that works out to $480 million a year. Eventually, if they can attract $2 a month — just 36 percent of what ESPN gets — and 100 million subscribers, that's $2.4 billion for a network before any advertising is sold.
So it's no wonder that networks will pay so much for NASCAR rights. FS1 recently paid $42-$50 million a year just for the rights to Big East college sports. NBC recently paid $83 million a year for EPL.
"They see the ratings are down. That's almost a 'who cares' if you can achieve all your other targets,†said Pilson, now a consultant who advised NASCAR in its 2007-2014 deal but not for the one it recently signed.
ESPN and TNT, meanwhile, don't need NASCAR as much, Pilson said. Both networks declined to negotiate new TV contracts with NASCAR.
"ESPN is not going to get a single additional home or probably drive its rate (higher) if it has NASCAR or doesn't have NASCAR,†Pilson said.
"That's not true for NBC Sports.â€
Advertisers like sports
While subscriber fees rank as the main reason for high sports rights fees — Pilson said the general public appears willing to accept increases in their cable rates — other reasons exist why a network will pay so much for NASCAR.
NASCAR provides a significant amount of programming content, from practices and qualifying on Friday and Saturday to races on Saturday night and Sunday. The season, at nine months and 36 Cup races, is one of the longest of any sport.
The races still attract millions of viewers — the 2012 season averaged 5.8 million viewers per race — and NASCAR still ranks among the most watched sports each weekend. For 17 of the first 20 Cup races this year, NASCAR's rating was first or second among all sports that weekend.
"(The sport) may not be going gangbusters but it's still in there,†said Mike Boykin of GMR Marketing, which has several NASCAR clients. "(With) the emergence of two major sports networks, it's a solid property (helped with the rights fees). They've got multiple ways to distribute the product.
"The sport has got a lot of possibilities in addition to the live race. It's a roll of the dice but the EPL deal was a roll of the dice (for NBC).â€
Advertisers love live sports because most people watch sports live instead of on DVR, which allows them to skip commercials. And live sports is among the few avenues for advertisers to reach young men through television, said David Campanelli of Horizon Media, which purchases television commercial time for advertisers.
According to Nielsen, 99 percent of sports in 2012 were watched either live or on the same day among fans ages 18-49. That's better than reality TV shows (85 percent), situation comedies (75 percent) or dramas (70 percent).
Front Row Marketing Services, a marketing subsidiary of NBC owner Comcast, has research that shows even a greater disparity. It reports that among viewers 18-49 from Sept. 24-Jan. 20, more than 95 percent of all sports events were watched within a week of their initial airing, compared to just 70 percent for comedies and 58 percent for dramas.
"Generally speaking, live major sports (advertising) is easily the most expensive out there,†Campanelli said. "There's absolutely a premium that you pay for live sports than you do versus any other programming.â€
Ratings for sports remain more stable than most prime-time TV shows so networks find sports a safer investment than in a show's creation.
"In prime time, when a new show launches, it can be a big hit but more often than not it's a big miss and it goes away after two or three weeks,†Campanelli said.
"When you're buying sports as an advertiser, you know you're getting scheduled NASCAR ratings and the rating is pretty stable week to week, race to race, year to year and you can kind of bank on that rating and delivering that audience you were looking to deliver pretty consistently.â€
There's another big reason NBC wanted the rights for the final 20 NASCAR Cup races of the season. NBC wants to have NASCAR to go up against the NFL.
NBC won't bank on NASCAR beating the NFL, but NASCAR will rate much better than other sporting events or other shows it could put up against football on a Sunday afternoon. It also will use its fall NASCAR coverage, including the Chase for the Sprint Cup, as a lead in to its "Sunday Night Football†telecast.
"They sat back in the boardroom and said, 'We need to build this channel. What is going to give us the most amount of eyeballs most often?'†Brown said.
"And NASCAR comes out right near the top when it comes to sports. They can own NASCAR in their window. You can own a night of football (but) NASCAR is on one channel once a week. That kind of exclusivity is what helps get them a premium for their rights fee.â€
Just how valuable is a sports network with live sports? Forbes estimates the value of the New York Yankees at $2.3 billion and the Brooklyn Nets at $530 million. News Corp. bought 49 percent of the YES Network — the channel that has the rights to the Yankees and Brooklyn Nets games — last year for $3 billion. In other words, the network is worth nearly double the two teams that anchor its programming.
By having NASCAR programming, Fox Sports 1 and NBC Sports Network — the Cup races will be split with 16 on network and 20 on cable — have increased their value, even combining to pay $820 million a year.
Now NASCAR has to hope that while it got a premium rate that its exposure doesn't take a hit by being on two unproven networks.
"Why did NASCAR do it?†Pilson said. "Well, they did it for the money. And the expectation that over a period of time NBC Sports will get beyond 80 million (households) to 90 million to 100 million with their product driving subscription rates.
"If you're the NASCAR fan and the big race is on NBC Sports Net and it's not carried by your local cable company, you think you might pick up the phone and complain about it? I suspect you will. That's the expectation.â€

This is the first weekend of the Age of Obama. No matter where in the world you live or what you believe in, this simple yet radical shift in American leadership must mean something to you. How will the new U.S. administration impact your weekend. Will you be watching birds? Comment below on the excitement you have planned!
I'll be keeping it real here in Rochester, hopefully real warm. Corey won't have that luxury as he'll be ripping up Massachusetts and New Hampshire for rare birds as a competitor in the sixth annual Super Bowl of Birding. Please wish Corey, Nate, Patrick, Christopher, and Quintus the very best of luck as the defend the honor of bird bloggers everywhere as the Bloggerhead Kingbirds (apparently Bloggerhead Shrikes was taken…) Charlie will either be heading into or out of Vancouver but wherever he is, there's no doubt he'll be fighting for the rights of birds everywhere to fly free.
Whatever you do this weekend, make time to enjoy Sky Watch Friday…
We've been celebrating Parrot Month at 10,000 Birds this January. If you haven't been absolutely engrossed by the amazing posts contributors have been sharing, here's a taste of what you've been missing. If you like what you see, please click through to the posts these incredible photos are from and then visit the contributors' own blogs. You'll be glad you did!
Blue-and-Yellow Macaws by Tim Ryan
Military Macaws by Jeff Gordon
apparently Bloggerhead Shrikes was taken…
Well, kinda. Apparently there's a "Lagerhead" Shrikes team that participates in the World Series of Birding. Out of deference to them we avoided the all too similar Bloggerhead Shrikes.
Oh my – did I miss a lot. Cools shots. Had I known about it – I'd have had a shot of a Macaw, which easily is the best image I ever took to share….
I will be out at Viera Wetlands at the Space Coast this weekend – not participating in the Bird Festival, but maybe meeting some of the guys and gals.
Cheers, Klaus
Wow, those are beautiful pictures
Awesome shots! If you go through my archives, you'll see bunches of Red-Masked Parakeets, Monk Parakeets, and Canarywinged Parakeets. They're regulars at my feeders everyday.
I'm doing SkyWatch for the first time this week, so I'd love it if you'd stop by:
Wow, great pictures! Love the colours of the parrots
Love your Macaws, guess i'll post some parrots this week too.
I'll be hitting the Greens Bayou Wetlands project on Saturday with a group from the Houston Audubon Society. Should be a fun morning, and definitely a lot warmer than the Bloggerheads will be experiencing during the Super Bowl!
Well, I'm not sure I can top the Ivory Gull I saw in Gloucester yesterday but I will be hitting the Parker River NWR at some point this weekend. Maybe I'll wait until the Super Bowl teams are done with it…
just oustanding yet again.
Gorgeous shots. Nice to have a new president here. I feel optimistic for the first time in ages even with the other problems. Happy bird watching.
Is there a way to get this blog via RSS feed?
I'll probably hunt raptors over the hayfields west of St. Augustine, Florida. Rain coming Sunday, Saturday will have to do for me.

Indie working on knight moves
Gill and Sacker pick up revisionist tale 'Galahad'The Film Department, the indie production outfit run by Mark Gill and Neil Sacker, has won a bidding war for "Galahad," a revisionist King Arthur spec from newcomer Ryan Condal.
Gill and the company's Robert Katz will produce with Energy Entertainment's Brooklyn Weaver.
"Galahad" retells the classic story by portraying King Arthur as an aging coward whose young, ambitious Queen Guinevere murders him, then blames the crime on Sir Galahad. Galahad must escape near-certain death, vanquish the forces of evil and return Camelot to its rightful glory.
Gill and Sacker liked that it was based on the well-known legend.
"Our business is so dependent on international sales, and something like this is known around the globe," Gill said. "It's also a phenomenally well-written script. It was a nice one to get."
The deal was in the mid-six figures. The Film Department's international division will handle foreign sales.
Sacker, Michael Goguen and Adam Marshall are executive producing. Amanda Coplan will co-produce.
Film Department launched in the summer with the plan to make from four to six movies a year. The writers strike initially threw a wrench in that strategy, but the company intends to ramp up activity, with the goal of acquiring 25-30 scripts and projects a year to fulfill its goal.
The company is not worried about a possible actors strike.
"Now that SAG will offer a waiver to companies like us, we know we can shoot in the summer and the fall," Gill said.
As such, the company hopes to begin shooting in July on "Law Abiding Citizen," a thriller that Gill, Sacker and Katz are producing with Gerard Butler's newly launched shingle Evil Twin, which the actor runs with longtime manager Alan Siegel.

Military life can include a number of unique challenges not faced by most civilians. Frequent relocation, uncertain deployment schedules, and often dangerous work can make family life difficult. Should that difficulty lead to a decision for a military couple to seek out a divorce, those same factors play a significant role in asset division and child custody determinations.
Even basic considerations, such as which court should hear the divorce proceedings for military spouses, can be extremely complex due to the nature of military lifestyles and heavy regulation by federal and military law. Resolving these issues can require legal expertise which can only be offered by an attorney who is knowledgeable about military divorces. In particular, the Leave and Earnings Statement ("LES"), a detailed invoice of military earnings and benefits, can be difficult to read and incorporate into a divorce settlement.
Here are some common issues to consider when handling a military divorce:
Jurisdiction: In most divorces, deciding where to bring an action is simple – the state where the parties live.
However, imagine a common scenario for military families: a young man from California joins the U.S. Air Force and enters the Air Force Academy in Colorado. While there, the soldier meets his future wife, graduates, then moves to Glendale to live near Luke Air Force Base. The couple decides to end their marriage, but just after the divorce proceedings begin, the soldier is deployed to Afghanistan. Suddenly, deciding where the family is "domiciled" becomes much more complicated.
Further complicating matters is the fact that there may be multiple answers to the question of which is the appropriate court in which to file an action. That is because there are different rules governing a court's ability to divorce the couple, make custody determinations, or divide property (including a military pension). It is imperative that you understand these complexities before you file or respond to an action
The Service Members Civil Relief Act: This act, commonly referenced as SSCRA, allows members of the Armed Forces to apply for a "stay" of some judicial proceedings while they are on active duty. The provision provides some protection for service members (including activated National Guard or reserve troops) whose official duties would otherwise prevent them from participating in litigation. Whether you are seeking a divorce from a member of the military, or you are a uniformed serviceperson, understanding the SSCRA can be an important part of your case.
Visitation and family care plans: Because military life often includes frequent relocations and other travel, creating plans for custody and parenting time can be tricky. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 25-411) provides some guidance for military families in addition to protecting the rights of servicepersons whose work may require them to modify their custody plans in various ways. The Arizona statute is long and detailed, however, so applying it to an individual case is not always easy.
Family support: Understanding exactly how much income a service member has is key in determining family support (child support and spousal maintenance). This requires reading and understanding the LES given monthly to members of the military. Base pay, skill pay, hazardous duty pay, disability pay, and other bonuses may play a significant role in determining the amounts of spousal maintenance, child support, and other financial arrangements.
Pension, disability, and other benefits: Military pension is difficult to decode even without trying to fit it into a divorce settlement. Because military divorces are regulated by both federal and state laws, each component of the pension (retirement, disability, etc.) may be governed by a different law.
For example, recent changes to Arizona laws protect a veteran's service-related disability benefits from judicial property division. The definition of service-related disability benefits comes from Title 38 of the United States Code – referring back and forth between state and federal laws is an arduous task and finding an attorney to help navigate through this issue is critical.
Appreciating the unique aspects of a military divorce can require years of legal practice. Even for a seasoned divorce attorney, frequent changes to divorce, custody, and military laws at both the state and federal levels offer unique challenges in each new case.

Share This Review
Winter Light by author Robin Maderich is a novella prequel to a Christmas romance series that takes place in the fictional town of Connor Falls, Pennsylvania. Allie (Allison) Roberts is lacking the holiday inspiration she needs to decorate the display window in the book emporium she manages for her parents. Her lack of motivation could mean disaster for the seasonal sales the store depends on. Yet, a possible means to a solution unexpectedly appears before Allie's eyes one day, on the other side of the window: the face of a little girl.
Meanwhile, divorced, single father Luke Hollis, owner of a Christmas tree farm, is busy worrying about his anxious young daughter, Lydia, who misses her mother. Lydia has formed a dangerous habit of taking off from home, and when Luke eventually arrives at the town's bookstore to retrieve his daughter, he suspects he's seen the store's manager somewhere before, whoever she is. The manager, however, has no doubt about Luke's identity.
This novella is simply, fittingly titled for a Christmas story, but one mustn't mistake that simplicity for triteness. The theme of winter light turns out to be a poignant one, deftly handled by the author. Maderich's characters are effectively realized on the page, developed as believable, rational, deeply feeling people. When romance fiction includes a child as young as Lydia, it can be easy to make such a character cute but otherwise flat, almost like a prop instead of a person. However, Lydia is portrayed as a complex human being, adding an interesting dimension to Luke and Allie's story.
Also, the plot of Winter Light doesn't always take the most predictable route. Where the author could have used more conventional timing for a small-town tale's turn of events, Allie's small-town predicament expands instead. Still, even with the characters' rationalizing and some sobering plot development, the author leaves room for striking moments, like glimpses of winter magic. Then, on account of the plot's uncommon timing, the story is free to reach a touching peak that any reader of holiday romances can appreciate.
Therefore, I give Winter Light an overall rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Even as a short prequel, it's a complete story on its own and an excellent example of solid storytelling in novella-length fiction. I'd recommend this book to romance readers who would enjoy a quick Christmas read with warmth, deep emotion, and memorable light.

Although there will presumably be no hoop skirts or beaver-skin top hats on the red carpet, this year's Academy Awards are putting a spotlight on American history. I've spent years studying, writing and teaching about the fight to end slavery, so I was excited when Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner brought that history to the screen in the Oscar-nominated "Lincoln." But for all the glamour of a cinematic blockbuster, watching a film like "Lincoln" reminds me that the novel as a literary form has distinct advantages when it comes to deepening how Americans today understand our history.
Daniel Day-Lewis has captured the gait, voice, melancholy demeanor, and undauntable (if not always admirable) values of the 16th president. Watching "Lincoln," one might indeed feel as if one is watching Lincoln. But there's the rub: The act of watching makes us spectators. Although we can be thrilled, inspired, or horrified by what we see, as viewers we're distanced from what's on the screen, no matter how moving or edifying it might be.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
As an author, my goal is to remove that distance, to put my readers into every scene. And the novel is an ideal medium to do that. My book, "The Secrets of Mary Bowser," offers a first-person account of life during the most contentious era of American history. Having Mary, a character based on a real former slave who became a Union spy in the Confederate White House, narrate the story was my way to give a voice to this little-known historical figure. But it also gave readers something: First-person narration creates an immediacy and an intimacy that draws readers in. Reading a character's thoughts allows readers to experience events and emotions as the narrating character herself experiences them. As stunning as it is to see Day-Lewis transformed into Abraham Lincoln, wouldn't it be more astounding to transform into Lincoln, or another Civil War-era figure, yourself? It doesn't matter what your actual age, race, or gender — or how much you know about American history. When you read a historical novel about the Civil War — a novel based on extensive research — the result is the readerly equivalent of method acting: a deeply personal understanding of the cost individuals paid for freedom.
My book begins during Mary Bowser's childhood in Richmond, Va., spent as a house slave to the wealthy Van Lew family. The reader learns, as Mary does, what it means to come of age in slavery: I aim to show what it's like to have parents who love and want to protect you, but who have no legal ability to do so. When Mary is sent to Philadelphia by Bet Van Lew to be educated, the reader steps into freedom with her, sharing her exhilaration at something as mundane as choosing which shoes to buy, then suffering shock and humiliation along with her when she boards a streetcar proudly carrying her newly purchased shoes, only to be thrown off. The reader discovers, as Mary does, that even in Philadelphia, blacks are forbidden access to public transit: being free is not the same as being equal. Living daily life from Mary's perspective, the reader is immersed in the contradictions and complexities of antebellum America, North and South — and that's before the Civil War even starts.
I began thinking about the distinction between learning history through a first-person novel versus learning it through a visual medium like narrative film or television documentary when I happened upon a Facebook exchange between a social studies teacher and a librarian, comparing several recent representations of the anti-slavery struggle. The social studies teacher posted his thoughts on the first episode of "The Abolitionists," an "American Experience" documentary that aired in January on PBS. He was concerned that the episode, with its focus on Angelina Grimké and William Lloyd Garrison, was repeating a familiar but incomplete story about the anti-slavery movement. It was, as he put it, "again the white redeemers," when he'd been "hoping for a more thorough and nuanced report of the complexities of the Black Abolitionists' successes and setbacks."
The librarian responded by recommending "The Secrets of Mary Bowser" as an alternative. "What was really interesting to me is Leveen's argument, through the voice of her protagonist, that slavery is *intrinsically* immoral. Compare that to the rhetoric around slavery and abolition (150 years ago and today) that says it is immoral because it is physically abusive, or because it breaks up families, or the Union, or because God doesn't approve all of a sudden, or because a few activist white folks stood up and said so. And duh, of course slavery is intrinsically immoral, but I don't hear hardly anyone saying this."
In many accounts about slavery — from the earliest published slave narratives to "Lincoln" and "The Abolitionists" — there's an obsession with representing brutality against slaves. The first episode of "The Abolitionists" recreates a scene in which a black child watches helplessly as his aunt is savagely beaten by their master. The second episode, which focuses on black abolitionist Frederick Douglass, repeats that same footage, perhaps implying that only witnessing such a beating could lead Douglass to oppose slavery. In "Lincoln," the young Tad Lincoln carries images of brutalized slaves around the White House. Tad looks up from studying these images and asks his father's black steward, "When you were a slave, Mr. Slade, did they beat you?" Slade responds that he was born free — a startling reminder that our obsessive interest in witnessing black suffering can inaccurately reduce all African Americans to little more than objects of a white viewer's pity.
As important as it is to acknowledge the historical reality of slavery in its most brutal forms, I've always been troubled by this pervasive obsession with black suffering, which implies blacks somehow earned the right to be free only through the most horrifically brutal tortures.
As an author, I created scenes in which Mary endures the threat of being whipped, but I chose not to have her experience that level of brutality. Instead, as narrator she reflects on how her experience of being owned by purportedly kind masters in urban Richmond compares to common images of black suffering. In one passage, her description of participating in an anti-slavery fundraising fair turns into an extended address to the reader:
Colored and white, the abolitionists who gave speeches against the peculiar institution cited its most extreme manifestations. But the slavery I was born into, though every bit as unjust, felt very different indeed. Theirs, the sharp sting of the whip, the family wrenched apart by sale, the years spent without proper food or clothing, in excruciating labor. Mine, the dull ache of exhaustion from long hours of work, the longing for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins I never met and never would. The never time enough with Mama and Papa and me all together. I didn't know how I could make the ladies in the Anti-slavery Sewing Circle understand all that, without making it sound as though I were saying some slavery wasn't so bad just because it wasn't as terrible as slavery got.
I hadn't wanted to admit it at first, proud and excited as I was when Miss Douglass invited me to join them, but deep down it hurt to realize what all the anti-slavery people thought of slaves. Just about everywhere I'd turned my head at the fair, I saw things—note paper, embroidered potholders, even broadsides to hang on the wall—decorated with pictures of slaves, always drawn up the same. Male or female, wearing nothing but a loin cloth, shackled hand and foot, the slave knelt, hands clasped not like prayer but like begging. The abolitionists loved all the degradation and desperation in that image.
Something sour prickled my skin whenever I saw those figures. Was that how people in the North pictured Papa and Mama? Did they think I'd been half-naked and chained up like that, till Bet rode in on a white horse to liberate me? I don't know why the other colored ladies in our group didn't feel the same way I did, even if they'd never been slaves. We were making money for the anti-slavery cause, I guess, and it was easy enough to see what sold.
Writing a description like that required me to see the world in which Mary lives through her eyes, to imagine what she feels in a way that leads the reader to feel it, too.
The difference between literature and film may ultimately be one of empathy versus sympathy. Watching a film like "Lincoln" or a program like "The Abolitionists" puts history in front of us. But reading a novel like "The Secrets of Mary Bowser" immerses us in history.
Lois Leveen, a novelist and former college professor, has written about literature, film and history for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, Bitch magazine and several academic journals.

I'm a new groomer, only been in the practice for about 6 months now, so I'm still learning and searching for new products and techniques.
Since my start at the salon all I've heard is that clipping a dog when wet is a terrible idea because it ruins your blades, but looking through this thread I'm really curious and would love to try a wet clip sometime.
So my questions are:
Does wet clipping really ruin your blades as much as people say?
What would warrant a wet clip?
What size blade would be best for one/how would I judge what it would like after it's been dried?
Any other information anyone has would also be incredibly helpful and very much appreciated!

When does life begin? Back when I was pro choice, I used to field that question in debates all the time.
I knew that the people asking the question meant human life. When does human life begin?
The answer is no use to us in the besetting questions of our age. Life, human life, doesn't begin. We pass it from one to another like a baton in a relay race.
The reason for this largely useless answer is that the question itself is poorly worded. We don't really mean When does life begin? What the questioners were trying to ask was, When does human life that we owe legal protection begin?
Unfortunately, even that question begs the underlying issue. Individual human life, with all its complexities, begins at conception. This is not theology. It is simple and obvious science. A human conceptus is a unique, perfect human being. So is a human embryo.
I was a human embryo. I do not mean that I was the makings of something that would become me. I, myself, was a human embryo. I was just as much me then as I was me when I was a six month unborn baby and when I was a 5-year-old kindergartner and now that I am a rambling, writing, mom, state legislator and all-around trouble maker.
I was always me at each one of these stages of my life. Life is something we pass from one another like a baton in a relay race. But our lives, our individual existences as persons, begins at conception.
You were an embryo, too, you know. In fact, you still are that embryo, only in another stage of life. Your life began at conception. Your earthly life will end at your death. But you will go on after that, and then, as now, you will always be you.
A reader who seems intransigent in his advocacy for killing little humans ranging from unborn late-term abortion victims back to the earliest conceptus, commented "I just can't get worked up about microscopic embryos."
Is that the reason so many people are willing to denude human beings of their humanity early on in their lives? Is it a matter of size?
It is important to remember that calling someone an "embryo" is an entirely arbitrary designation that people created for convenience. As it is used in practice the designation of this stage of a person's life lasts from shortly after conception up to about 8 weeks. The person is, admittedly, tiny during this whole time, but they aren't always microscopic. The question still remains: Would their lives matter more if they were the size of dinner plates?
I'm being a bit facetious here to make a point. Size shouldn't be a death sentence. But when we begin to deny the obvious fact that these are human lives we are taking, we find ourselves in the conundrum of defining what makes the rest of us safe from the long knives of science.
The same science that gives you central heat and air can snuff you out like the flame on a match. The only thing holding it back is law.
The legal barriers we erect around human life are our only protection from the rapacious disregard for human beings that sits at the base of every godless philosophy. Science itself is neutral on the issues of God and morality. It is not inherently moral or immoral. It is, rather, amoral.
Our safety and security rests, not in the self-defined great minds of scientists, but in the little minds of politicians. It is politicians who have kept us from destroying every bit of life on this planet with the scientist's great gift of nuclear weapons. It is politicians who erect the walls of legal safety behind which we hide against the darker impulses of those who have no regard for us at all. Politicians and the laws they write are the method we have for keeping the monsters beside us at bay.
Make no mistake about it, science has acquired the power to be a death-dealing monster that can destroy us all.
Are human embryos human beings? Of course they are. There isn't any question about that. The question is, do we think we are capable of creating, exploiting and killing whole classes of human beings and not letting this death-dealing disregard for human life spread to the rest of us? The answer for any thinking person who has the least knowledge of human history is, no.
We already kill human beings throughout their pre-born life. We kill them because they are disabled. We kill them because they are "unwanted." We kill them because they — unlike us, we seem to say — are going to die soon anyway.
Is that the new value on human life? To have a right to life, do you have to be "wanted," or physically perfect, or not be going to die?
By that logic, there is no person on this planet who has a right to life.
Do you realize that? By the logic we apply to embryos, who are killed because they are too small to have a right to life, and for all unborn babies, who are killed because they are unwanted-disabled-going-to-die-anyway there is no person on this planet who has a right to life.
Is that exaggeration? I think not. The agitation for euthanasia is growing. Already several nations and a few of our states have taken down the wall to killing people who are a burden to others, in pain, mentally ill, depressed, etc. They pass these laws under the guise of — you guessed it — they will be dead soon, anyway. We'll just kill the terminally ill, they claim. Nobody will die except those who volunteer for death, they tell us.
But as soon as these laws pass, the criteria begins to broaden, and soon people are being euthanized without their knowledge, for all sorts of reasons.
Why? Because if any group of people may be legally killed for reasons of their murderer's devising, then all our lives are forfeit.
The selling of death by those who want to kill has become slightly more subtle than it times past, but the underlying message is the same.
It's only a small over-simplification to say that all these people at the vulnerable stages of life are dying because of money. Those who kill human embryos to harvest their body parts promise us miracles in a test tube that will give us cures for every dread disease. But what they are really about is massive amounts of government funding. Unborn children die because abortion is marketed by those who make money off it. They die because we would rather become murderers of our own children than write laws that protect women's ability to have children and hold jobs, get educations and walk the streets without fear of rape. We kill the infirm, the depressed and the elderly, so they won't be a "burden" on our health care industry.
We kill for money. We lie and twist the facts to claim that we are killing them for kindness' sake. But in truth we have done away with the legal protections of the basic right to life of whole classes of people largely for money.
Does size matter? In the case of human embryos, size is a death sentence. But for other people we kill, it is just a matter of getting rid of what bothers us.
I haven't mentioned theology or even morality as a reason for not killing whole classes of people with impunity. I don't need to. There is an entirely secular reason for granting a universal right to life to all human beings at every stage of our earthly existence. That reason is self-preservation.
Unless you are one of the gods of our little earthly universe — one of the powerful, the wealthy, the "decision makers" who live in shadowy enclaves inside super zip codes and pull the strings on the rest of us — unless you are one of them, you need this wall of law to protect you.

English Rugby poach Bradley Wiggins's sports scientist in bid to win 2015 World Cup
SPORTS scientist Matt Parker, a key figure in Bradley Wiggins' triumph in the Tour De France and the London Olympics, is set to join the English Rugby Football Union to work with head coach Stuart Lancaster.
Parker was a key figure in Britain's success at the last two Olympic Games and his work with Bradley Wiggins was integral to this year's Tour de France triumph.
Currently the head of marginal gains at British Cycling, Parker is set to lead England's sports science and sports medicine programmes through to the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The Rugby Football Union is yet to confirm the appointment but it is understood Parker is in line for the position of head of athletic development which will oversee performance analysis, conditioning, psychology and lifestyle support for the national team.
"We are looking for someone of that calibre but nothing has been agreed," Lancaster said.
"This person will play a key role in the development of the team to 2015."
Parker initially joined British Cycling as an endurance coach in 2006 and he masterminded Olympic gold for the men's 4,000metre pursuit team in Beijing.
Parker then developed the training programme and weight loss which helped Wiggins switch from the velodrome to the road and finish fourth at the 2009 Tour de France.
International Rugby Newsletter
Although Parker stopped working directly with Wiggins in 2009 to take up the post as head of marginal gains, his programme laid the foundations for this year's historic Tour de France triumph.
Parker currently leads a team of 15 sports scientists at British Cycling whose focus is on the fractional improvements that can be made in every aspect of performance, covering equipment, training, recovery, diet, lifestyle and psychology.
Britain won seven cycling gold medals from 10 events at the London Olympics, matching their achievement from Beijing four years earlier.

Year of the Priest has Begun: Pray for Our Priests
With the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 29, the Year of St. Paul was concluded. It has been a time of spiritual reflection on the power of the proclaimed Word of God, the apostolic and missionary work of the Church, and the necessity of personal conversion after the example of this great apostle Paul.
Pope Benedict XVI has called us to observe with intense prayer the Year of the Priest. He has begun this observance by welcoming the reliquary of St. Jean Marie Vianney to the Vatican Basilica, on the 150th anniversary of the saint's death. How fitting that the Church begins this Year by honoring the patron of all parish priests: The Cure' of Ars, a man who spent hour upon hour in the Confessional, and doing so much good for souls, both in France and throughout Europe; a man who preached the Gospel courageously from the pulpit, changing many lives as a result. People would come back to the Church after many years when they merely watched him celebrate Mass and witnessed the love and piety with which he gave himself to this highest priestly act. The mystery that the priest offers the living sacrifice of Jesus Christ on behalf of the people was clear in this holy man of God.
St. Paul, himself a priest and bishop, is a patron and guide for this Year. In revealing his interior life, he teaches us also about the nature of the priesthood: "It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me." (Gal 2:20). This is exactly what a good priest is – another Christ. When he is ordained, a substantial change takes place in his soul. He receives an indelible character that configures him to Jesus the High Priest, so that he can celebrate the sacraments in His name, and with His power: in persona Christi capitis – in the person of Christ the head. And he announces the Word of God, in union with the bishop and in fidelity to the magisterium, with a particular grace of Holy Orders.
In the announcement of this special observance the Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy has urged that it be a "period of intense appreciation of the priestly identity, of the theology of Catholic priesthood, and of the extraordinary meaning of the vocation and mission of priests within the Church and society."
In addressing the Congregation that oversees programs of ongoing formation for priests, Pope Benedict emphasized that "the priest's mission must always be carried out in faithful communion with the hierarchical and doctrinal disciplines of the Church." The correct appreciation of the ministerial priesthood, focused on the mystery of the Incarnate Christ at the center of His people, reminds us that without this ordained priesthood, "there would be neither the Eucharist, nor even the mission, nor the Church herself."
This realization, the Pope insists, "impels priests to be present, identifiable and recognizable for their judgment of faith, for their personal virtues, and even in their priestly garb." (Speech to the Plenary Gathering of the Congregation for the Clergy, March 16, 2009) Our priestly identity must be both internal and external!
The Pope also acknowledged some of the problems the Church has experienced through a misapplication of the Second Vatican Council concerning priestly ministry and the role of the laity, whose work in the Church is intended to be complementary, and not the same. He emphasized how necessary it is that we "ensure that 'new structures' or pastoral organizations are not planned for a time in which it will be possible to 'do without' ordained ministry, on the basis of an erroneous interpretation of the promotion of the laity, because this would lay the foundations for a further dilution in priestly ministry. Such supposed 'solutions' would, in fact, dramatically coincide with the real causes of the problems currently affecting the ministry." (March 16 Address of Pope Benedict XVI)
In this Year of the Priest let us particularly remember these men of God, our priests, who have dedicated their lives to serve us: that there be more of them, and that they be holy. Let us pray that they value and live faithfully their commitment to celibacy for the sake of God's Kingdom, thus following the path of Christ the High Priest himself and his apostles. Never stop praying for our priests. In an age of hedonism and materialism, the witness of their life is crucial, not only for the Catholic Church, but for the entire world.

On the market: A secluded cottage
Location, location, location. The little house at the end of Parade Hill Road couldn't be better situated -- walking distance to town and at the end of a quiet, tree-laden cul-de-sac.
The cottage-like abode at 90 Parade Hill Lane, New Canaan, rests toward the back of an expansive front lawn generously staked with a botanical array of trees -- white birch, pine and one spectacular sample of red maple.
Closely surrounding the front is a thick garden of roses, sage, Japanese maples and other coverings.
The house has a partial brick facade and low-hanging roof that prides its cedar shingles up close. The house also has a security system, and a monitor alerts the occupants to visitors.
The double front doors are ornate antiques with handmade glass. Immediately inside is a tiled hall with twin chandeliers and a short set of stairs that sweep up to a nearby balcony. The vaulted ceiling has wood beams.
To the left is a living room with a wide-open arch joining it to the adjacent dining room.
The two share tract lighting and oak wood floors, while the living room has a large set of bay windows, looking out to the front yard, and a fireplace.
More InformationFact box
Off the dining room is an expansive kitchen that is not dominated by its modest counter space and sink-equipped island, but features a wide open room with two sets of French doors that lead out back.
The wood beams of the ceiling repeat in the kitchen, where there's another simple fireplace.
Out back is a pool surrounded by stone. A thick vine-covered pergola shades a large stone patio, which allows an opportunity to bask in the private seclusion of the yard.
Off the kitchen is a large family room, which is located over the attached two-car garage, that has a vaulted ceiling and French doors leading out to a balcony on the south side.
At the rear of the downstairs is a master bedroom with not only an enormous walk-in closet and grand recessed French doors, which open to the pool and its adjacent hot tub, but the bathroom, which has hardwood floors, has a fireplace. There is a separate shower, as well.
There are several rooms in the finished basement, which features a great deal of storage by way of one whole wall of sliding barn doors that hide about 100 shelves.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. Two of them share a Jack and Jill bathroom, while the bedroom at the top of the stairs has its own.
For more information or to make an appointment to see the house, contact Karen Ann Ceraso of Halstead Property at 203-249-8729 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Young and the ObamaCare-less
HHS is already rewriting rules to deal with adverse selection.
ObamaCare's defenders say its troubles are over as more people sign up and, by the way, stop griping because the law is here to stay. Much evidence says otherwise, to the extent that the embroidered information the White House is willing to release counts as evidence.
Lifting the veil of secrecy last week, the feds revealed that 2.2 million people nationwide had selected a plan through December. That is a major improvement, especially for the 36 federally run exchanges, which gathered 1.19 million total enrollees. Traffic increased...

Take Back the Tap
Water is a basic human right, and is absolutely necessary for the survival of the planet. In North America, consumers are spending billions of dollars on bottled water, when clean tap water is readily available to most. Choosing tap water over bottled water is more than just a daily choice; it's about preventing further degradation to the environment, keeping public health top of mind, stopping the privatization of public resources and ensuring all people can exercise their right to water.
In July 2013, we launched a campaign to raise awareness about the environmental and social impacts of bottled water. All of our shops across North America became campaign centers where customers could learn how to take back the tap in their community. We sold limited edition reusable bottles by Liberty Bottleworks during the campaign, with $5 from the purchase of each bottle donated to one of our three campaign partners. Our shops also became designated refill stations, meaning customers could refill their reusable water bottles at any LUSH location.
Our Partners
Wellington Water Watchers' passion is grassroots community engagement to protect source water. We advocate for progressive water-use policy development and empower thousands of individuals to become educated water stewards. They live by a new 4Rs: Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, then Recycle.
Living Lakes Canada links academia and science with action-oriented groups, to foster citizen-based water stewardship, and to help understand and appreciate the intimate connections among watershed stewardship, water quality, resource sustainability, climate change and biodiversity.
Kurmalliance is a non-profit organization focused on protecting & preserving marine habitats for sea turtles through plastic clean up efforts & the Pluckfastic movement, which encourages the community to choose to refuse single use plastic products.
Our Progress
By purchasing over 9000 Liberty Bottleworks reusable bottles, you helped us raise $45,000 for our campaign partners! Our customers chose which partner would receive their $5 donation when they purchased a reusable bottle, and the total donation was split between the three non-profits accordingly.
Since the campaign, we have declared our home office in Vancouver, BC a 'bottled water free zone' and no longer allow bottled water at meetings or in our factory. We are still working on water filtration systems for shops in cities with poor water quality.

A Bitcoin transaction services company says that hackers broke into one of its brokerage accounts last week, nabbing more than $12,000 worth of the digital currency.
That attack knocked Bitinstant offline over the weekend. The company says that while it lost Bitcoins, no customers were affected by the hack.
The criminals were able to take control of Bitinstant's internet domains by convincing its domain registrar, Site5, to hand over control of the company's Domain Name Service, or DNS. "Armed with knowledge of my place of birth and mother's maiden name alone (both facts easy to locate on the public record) they convinced Site5 staff to add their email address to the account and make it the primary login," the company said Monday in a blog post detailing the incident.
With control of the DNS, the bad guys also had control over Bitinstant's email. They then did an online password reset at a Bitcoin exchange called VirWox and started emptying Bitinstant's account. The total haul: $12,480.
The attack worked on the VirWox exchange because Bitinstant's account didn't have two-factor authentication. In other words, the criminals were able to empty out money with just a user name and password. "No other exchanges were affected," Bitinstant wrote, saying that the other exchanges it uses were protected by such security precautions as multi-factor authentication, Yubikeys, and auto lockdowns.
Reached Thursday, a VirWox representative said that the exchange has had multi-factor authentication since September 2012. "Bitinstant was not using it (they learned and do now)," the representative said in an email message.
This isn't the biggest Bitcoin heist. Last year, the Bitcoinica exchange was hacked twice, to the tune of more than 60,000 bitcoins. (A Bitcoin is worth more than $40 today; the Bitcoinica thefts were worth several hundred thousand dollars at the time.) That exchange eventually went out of business.
Bitcoins have been getting a lot of attention lately. The Internet Archive is paying its staff members in Bitcoins. You can use them to shop at Amazon or even buy a pizza. But that has made them a more attractive target to hackers, who have taken to writing malicious software that steals Bitcoins out of digital wallets stored on people's desktop computers.
Gaven Andresen, chief scientist with the Bitcoin Foundation, says he had a digital wallet swiped last year. It had been stored on an internet service provider's computer. But the thieves got away with only about $15. That's because Andresen stores most of his Bitcoins on an encrypted laptop that's not connected to the internet.
"Right now, we're in the Wild West days of Bitcoins," he says. "And some of the smaller exchanges and smaller services just don't have their security up to snuff yet."
Site5 and Bitinstant couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Kris Kuksi is an American artist who is famous for his signature sculptures, which he modestly labels as being comprised of "mixed media assemblage".
What he actually means is "made out of the pieces of seemingly unrelated model kits". Go on, take a closer look. While from a distance the pieces appear to be a mish-mash of romantic and apocalyptic imagery, zoom in and you'll see the intricate detail is made up of things like pieces of old machinery, miniatures of Napoleonic soldiers and the pieces of World War Two battleships.
Kuksi's art is highly sought-after; some of the people who own a piece include the boss of Nike, Guillermo Del Toro and Robin Williams.
You can see more examples of Kuksi's work at his personal site.
