Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
City hall's got a PR problem
And it's looking for a few good communications consultants to change that
This may come as a shock, but the City of Winnipeg could use some help with public relations.
This is not a joke. The city has issued a formal search for communications consultants to help out in situations too big, too complex or simply too crazy for the city's communications staff, who number in the single digits and struggle to keep up with their workload.
In other Canadian cities of a comparable size, it's not uncommon to find dozens of communications professionals working on everything from strategy to public consultation to good old-fashioned spin for multiple municipal departments.
Winnipeg has only five or six of these flacks to serve the entire city. None of them is gifted with the supernatural ability to hold more than one telephone conversation or exist in multiple locations simultaneously.
Winnipeg could have used paranormal public relations professionals this winter, which will go down as the most challenging for the city since 1996-97. That was the one with three blizzards followed by a flood.
This winter will be remembered fondly for the frequent southern excursions of the circumpolar vortex -- which is a scientific way of saying it was horribly, brutally and uncomfortably cold, even for a city that loves to brag about its ability to withstand anything.
Early in the winter, city officials struggled to explain why snow-clearing crews weren't clearing snow, why garbage-collection contractors weren't collecting garbage and why many water mains were mainly spewing water instead of carrying it into homes and businesses.
Then came the plague of frozen water pipes, which an angry, vengeful god must have visited upon the city for worshipping some bearded entity other than Randy Bachman.
To many citizens, including plenty who never pay attention to municipal politics, the City of Winnipeg simply hasn't been takin' care of business.
Logically, no sane individual would blame politicians or public servants for the weather, one thing no human, however powerful, can control.
But in the wake of a series of capital-procurement scandals -- you know, that fire-paramedic station built on private land, and that police headquarters renovation that costs as much as a brand-new football stadium -- many Winnipeggers simply do not trust their city or any of the people responsible for running it.
When it comes to maintaining public trust, Winnipeg is well past the tipping point where residents merely have a healthy skepticism about municipal government.
There are Winnipeggers who no longer believe the city can do anything without screwing up -- and that's a major problem.
Some members of city council understand they've lost the public. Others are wandering around blaming the media for exaggerating the severity of the situation.
While that's ridiculous, it does place a priority on the search for some form of help in conveying information and maybe managing public expectations about what the city can and cannot do in a crisis situation that isn't an actual disaster such as a blizzard or a flood.
The request for qualifications posted on the city's website states Winnipeg is looking for communications consultants to help out "on an 'as required' basis, where and when available."
These people will not be answering email. They're being asked to "provide issues management and media-relations advice" to corporate communications manager Steve West, the city's chief spokesman.
West said the external consultants will be used to bolster his public relations office, which he declined to characterize as too small for the city.
"It's really a matter of adding capacity on a temporary basis," he said in an interview.
What that means is the city is not going out and hiring a bunch of flacks at $80,000 a year on a full-time, permanent basis. But it is prepared to spend money when its puny PR staff is swimming hopelessly against a tide of reporters demanding answers on behalf of a legitimately angry populace.
What remains unclear is whether that public will be motivated to do something at the polls this fall. The combination of brown water, spilled water and no water could usher in a flood of political change.
Even the circumspect Steve West acknowledges what's at stake.
"City services are the services citizens access every day of the week. The city is pretty close to people's attention on any given day, whether they're putting out garbage or driving on roads or calling for assistance," he said.
The search for professional communications help closes April 17.

Officer under investigation for sexual harassment sues police force, city5:57 PM 0

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott.
Bartley appears every second Wednesday on CityTV's Breakfast Television. His work has also appeared on CBC Radio and in publications such as National Geographic Traveler, explore magazine and Western Living.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Casino offers plastic surgery jackpot
Gamblers at one Atlantic City casino may get an unexpected jackpot in the form of botox, a nose job or liposuction.
The Trump Taj Mahal is offering $25,000 toward an array of plastic surgery procedures through its Nip, Tuck and Lift Sweepstakes, Reuters reported.
Players earn chances to win the lucrative makeover throughout October, with a drawing for the winner held Oct. 29 at the casino.
"We wanted to change the face of a typical casino promotion and with this one we are literally doing it," Trump Entertainment Resorts Senior Vice President of Marketing Kathleen McSweeney told Reuters. "Many people have something they want to change; a nip and tuck here, a lift there, but the cost of these procedures can be quite costly."
The sweepstakes are open to Trump One Card holders who earn a certain number of points. They must be playing at the time of the drawing for a chance to win, the casino said.
The prize money will be awarded in cash.

Well, despite not having seen him in any current movies (That is until the second part of the Hobbit movies.) I still like Orlando Bloom, especially as Legolas, as fantasy fodder of course. His natural hair and eye color aren't all that bad either. His wife Miranda Kerr is a very very lucky Aussie. Their kid must be absolutely adorable! It's currently a toss up between he and Tom Hiddleston for brain space. Oh and David Wenham as Faramir and Karl Urban as Eomer are pretty easy on the eyes as well.
- Chances are you are being repulsive and creepy when you do that.
On the bright side even if you've only been married to someone almost a year before getting a divorce that's still longer than Kim Kardashian's previous marriage.

Wait a minute. I know what you're thinking:I'm gonna piss and moan about Yankee-hating Gammonites in the Pooperstown vote. Well, you are wrong. How dare you. Nothing, NOTHING, could be further from the truth. This isn't about Mike Mussina being blackballed because he was a Yankee. Nope. He lost because of the F Troop-sorry state of the Orioles during the 1990s. If not for the wretchedness of that team, Moose could have won 300 games in his career and been a lock for the Hall. Look at the numbers:Check out 1992, when Baltimore finished only 4 games over .500 - even though he went 18-5.Or 1995, he went 19-9 for a team that finished below .500. Only twice did Baltimore make the post-season, 1996 and 1997. If Moose were substituted for either Maddox or Glavine - and he played for Atlanta during that stretch - he would now be sitting on 300 wins.Also, his career ERA would be much lower. Remember, he pitched his entire career in the AL East, consistently facing the toughest li...

Join Me this Thursday with my Special Guest Astrologer Kathy Rose
About Kathy
I began my study of astrology and all things metaphysical in third grade. I pestered my mom constantly to get me a book about astrology — she finally gave in and bought me "Linda Goodman's Sun Signs". I remember as I was reading, it was like I was remembering something I already knew.
That was when I started to think about the concept of reincarnation and past lives. I felt like I had studied astrology in another life - it was all too familiar.
I was always very intuitive in my childhood - once in 4th grade I won a contest because I guessed how many little candy hearts were in a giant jar. It was my first experience using intuition "on command". From that point on I was focused on developing and understanding the psychic senses along with the exploration of astrology.
When I was 24 I started my practice as a full-time astrologer and intuitive. I also met Pete Sanders, founder of Free Soul, at that time. Connecting with Free Soul gave me the methods and techniques to really advance my ability to get information intuitively.
I immediately took the instructor training for the Free Soul Method, and began training other people to understand and tap their own intuition. Since 1984 I have traveled all over the nation giving lectures and teaching. Helping people learn how to activate their psychic senses "on command" and to realize their full soul potential is what is most important to me. I have incredible gratitude for Pete Sanders integrity and commitment to providing this education.
It's been over twenty years since I started my astrology practice and began teaching Free Soul. I'm still enjoying every minute!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Southern exposure
Florida is more than Disney World
TALLAHASSEE, Florida — The history of Florida did not begin when Walt Disney built his tourist magnet nor when the first car was driven at Daytona Beach. The state has a rich backstory, one that gets plenty of play in this southern area, a region where accents are sensual and proud tales told with more vigour than they would be up north.
Tallahassee, the improbably located state capital, is part of the Forgotten Coast, a vibrant city that boasts both a Spanish mission dating back to 1656 and the legacy of Luella Knott, a society lady who fought hard (and successfully) for prohibition at the turn of the last century.
History isn't told in neon lights or pastel buildings here.
The freshly renovated 24,000-square-foot Mission San Luis visitors' centre sets the stage for history of the region. It was an active mission from 1656 to 1704, home to Apalachee Indians and Spanish residents. There are reconstructed buildings, costumed interpreters and archeological displays.
In a wonderful Florida touch, the "wooden" fence around the garrison is actually a weatherproof Disney design.
Unusual for these sort of living-history museums, the interpreters are really working. The blacksmith makes nails; the cook is preparing soup from the vegetables in her gardens and eggs from the chickens that run through her yard. It's completely charming.
The historical theme continues at the Museum of Florida History, a 52-acre centre that blends nature, wildlife and culture. You'll be introduced to the story of Prince and Princess Murat, a tale that causes some native Floridians to snicker. You can choose to believe any version but the official word is the honorary prince was born in Paris, exiled to Austria, and eventually moved to the United States. He ended up in Florida.
His future wife was the great-grandniece of George Washington.
Murat was a man-about-town, sometimes considered a rogue and desired because of his tenuous link to royalty. He ultimately became the namesake of the one-star Prince Murat Motel. Online reviews are not kind.
The museum began as an attraction for schoolchildren, with its birds, animals and interactive displays. But the 150,000 annual visitors now span all age groups interested in what Florida looked like before they paved the swamps and caused the indigenous people to disappear.
Most here claim the Indians welcomed the Spanish.
"I think it gives people a grounded sense of places," museum spokesman Russell Dawes says. "People forget that this is what Florida used to look like."
Even more impressive is the drive out of town to St. Mark's lighthouse, a palmetto-lined road where alligators lurk. For the adventurous, there's a 14-mile bike trail. A swamp waits on either side of the narrow road and a spit of beach invites you to watch the sun set. There's a sense that forever waits on the other side of the horizon.
At St. Mark's Smokehouse and Oyster Bar, Bethany Pyles slaps down a dozen lightly steamed oysters and a beer. She has advice for shellfish virgins.
"They're good in all the months that has a 'y' in them," she claims.
Note to self: Avoid June, March, April, August, September, November, December. Second note to self: Never try to prove your toughness by eating many nearly raw things accompanied by cold beer.
Back in town, the Florida State Museum is a wonderful, cockeyed place where the relationship between dinosaurs and the state is explained, the impact of coral reefs, hurricanes and pirates covered, and Florida's agricultural history summarized.
It's a fun place. There's a stack of orange crates covered in advertisements. There's an explanation about how the auto industry began to boom but the first tourists had no hotels, bathrooms or gas stations. The museum has a Tin Can camper, a vehicle with a built-in bed and cans for food. It's the earliest Airstream.
Tallahassee, as previously mentioned, is the state capital. Depending who you talk to, the location was chosen in the spirit of compromise, dumb luck or mischance. In fact, it was halfway between St. Augustine and Pensacola, then separate capitals.
As part of that fateful decision, an official capitol building was built in 1845 and renovated in 1902. The distinctive red and white awnings were added. The building has now been restored.
Under the guidance of Andy Edel, the tour is fascinating. There are the shoes worn by the late governor Lawton Chiles as he walked across the state. There's a former bathroom door marked "White Ladies." There's a room devoted to the antipathy that arose during the Bush/Gore election debacle.
The "new" capitol complex, with a 22-storey executive tower and domed House and Senate chambers on the north and south, began construction in 1970. Locals swear there's a phallic appearance to the structure. This is not something you would mention in polite company.
If you're interested in more Florida history, tours of the Governor's Mansion are available. Carol Beck, the most gracious host any of us could meet, welcomes the chance to further explain the history of her state and this grand house. It's now home to Gov. Charlie Christ and first lady Carole Rome.
The mansion is 13,000-square-feet set on five acres. There are three floors, with only the first accessible to the public. The formal dining room is used "constantly," Beck says. "Mansions really do tell a lot about our country," she adds.
If you can tear yourself away from the culture, universities, football and history of Tallahassee, Panama City Beach is an easy drive away. The town is exactly how we stereotype Florida: gun shops, tattoo parlours, cheap booze and free crabs with every T-shirt purchased.
There's mini-golf. We can't forget mini-golf.
But there's more to it than the tacky tourist demands. There's a lovely beach suitable for strolling, sunbathing and gentle body surfing. And there's a real Panama City Beach, a historic main centre with gingerbread houses and commerce. That's where they keep the locals. It's a 30-minute drive from the beach area.
The biggest listed attraction is Pier Park, a 900,000-square-foot mall. If shopping's not your thing, the Russell Fields City Pier is right across the street. People gather at sunset to thank their lucky stars.
St. Andrews National Park is a chance to get up close and personal with nature. The beach is great and deer wander across the roads.
Best of all for Canadians, the new international airport will offer direct flights from Canada.
"Our branding is 'real, real fun beach.' " says Dan Rowe. CEO of the Panama City Beach convention and visitors bureau. "You can have a really fun time here. Our philosophy here is more Alabama and Georgia than Florida. The Southern hospitality is something you will find here. It's alive and well here."
Here, and in Tallahassee.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she has written for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business. She'll get around to them some day.
Lindor has received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She has earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and has been awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
She is married with four daughters. If her house was on fire and the kids and dog were safe, she'd grab her passport.

For those of you that have stacks of hard drive laying in archive, the single greatest invention to come in the last ten years is the docking station. There is also no shortage of these solutions, as each manufacturer has put their own personal spin on it.
The MB981U3S is the latest in ICYDOCK's EZ-DOCK line-up of, you guessed it: docking stations. The ICYDOCK MB981U3S is single bay docking station that offers dual connectivity through eSATA at 3Gbps and USB 3.0 at 5Gbps. With support for both 2.5" and 3.5" SSDs and HDDs, the EZ-Dock employs a unique two part dust cover to keep the internals clean. ICYDOCK warranties the EZ-Dock for a period of three years.
The scope of delivery for the EZ-Dock includes both the eSATA and USB 3.0 cables, along with a low profile power adapter.
Looking over the EZ-Dock you will find the uniquely designed drive eject lever to the left with the power button centered on the top of the dock. Also notice the two part dust cover.
On the back of the EZ-Dock you will find the eSATA and USB 3.0 connections with the power to the far right.
To test the capabilities of the ICYDOCK EZ-Dock, we utilized our Corsair Neutron 256GB SSD on our Intel Z77 chipset based motherboard. Benchmarks of choice were ATTO Disk Benchmark, CrystalDiskMark, along with our custom DiskBench testing.
ATTO allowed for the EZ-Dock to reach speeds of 270 MB/s read and 256 MB/s write using USB 3.0.
CDM results were similar to what we found with ATTO. We were able to reach speeds of 270 MB/s read and 253 MB/s write.
In DiskBench testing, we had the chance to compare the EZ-Dock to the highly successful BlacX 5G from Thermaltake. Above you can see the ICYDOCK came in just short of 200 MB/s, just behind the 220MB/s of the Thermaltake device.
When we get right down to brass tax, you will find that docking stations are never the most glamorous storage solutions. In fact, most docks that are pushed out these days share the same features and in most cases use the same underlying components. Simply put, devices like docks are meant to be a quick option when you need to throw a drive in to retrieve data. So, that leaves most users just wanting good build quality and the very best in performance. These two categories is a place where ICYDOCK has always tended to excel.
When first putting my hands on the EZ-Dock, I could tell there was some thought put into the design. I really enjoyed that the eject lever actually worked, even on 2.5" drives, and the uniquely designed dust cover did not negatively affect putting drives in. Additionally, the power button worked without a hitch, like a well-oiled machine.
Performance of the unit was on par with what I expected. Now, we didn't set any records today, but 200 MB/s isn't anything to be ashamed of and is certainly plenty for most users.
At the time of writing, I was able to find the ICYDOCK MB981U3S at many online retailers for a price of $49.99, a price that makes this a full $20 cheaper than the comparable BlacX 5G from Thermaltake, and a true bargain for anyone in the market for a simple, straight forward storage docking station.
ICYDOCK EZ-Dock MB981U3S Storage Docking Station Review
The MB981U3S is the latest docking station to carry on the EZ-Dock brand from ICYDOCK, and we have it in house for testing today.

Poll: Who Will Replace Larry King?
With Larry King announcing his impending departure comes the obvious question: who will be next in the 9pmET time slot?
As strange as it sounds, the logical answer might be Piers Morgan. There was an surprising amount of chatter earlier this month about Morgan and CNN. The fact that we haven't heard a peep in the past week could mean that the deal is already done. On the other hand, CNN/US president Jon Klein tells the LA Times' Matea Gold that the network is "not in negotiations" with Morgan.
But Morgan's name isn't the only one that's been in circulation. Marketwatch's Jon Friedman writes today, "CNN has two options for filling the high-profile 9:00 p.m. timeslot: Katie Couric or somebody else." Couric, though, may not be pursuing anything with the network.
Last night, King himself suggested Ryan Seacrest would be a good candidate for the job. Jeff Probst also recently expressed interest. And then there's the idea of moving Anderson Cooper into the slot or even moving Joy Behar from HLN.

Princess Charlene of Monaco won't win any races in those heels! Royal hits the running track in sky-high stilettos
- Former Olympic swimmer watched Diamond League athletics in Monaco
- She wore high heels as she took to the track to present medals
- She was joined by husband of two years Prince Albert II
- Last week she dismissed rumours she got cold feet about their wedding
She has been dubbed the 'Runaway Bride' but Princess Charlene of Monaco wouldn't get very far trying to run in the high heels she wore to an athletics meeting on Friday.
The royal wore nude stilettos to watch the Herculis athletics meeting at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, part of the Diamond League series.
On the warm evening, she kept cool in a pale jumpsuit and kept her look natural with minimal make-up and no jewellery save her wedding ring.
Going for gold: Princess Charlene mimicked a running action as she crossed the home straight of the track in Monaco
Chic and simple: The former Olympic swimmer teamed her nude high heels with a jumpsuit and kept her make-up natural
As a former Olympic swimmer, the 35-year-old is known for her love of sport and clapped and cheered as she watched the world class athletics with her husband, Prince Albert II.
She later took to the track to present medals to the winners and jokingly mimicked a running action when she saw photographers were snapping her as she crossed the home straight.
The princess is hoping she can put her 'runaway bride' tag behind her after last week speaking out on the speculation surrounding her wedding two years ago when she was seen crying as she made her vows.
Happy together: The Princess last week dismissed rumours she had cold feet about her wedding to Prince Albert II and she tenderly held his arm as they watched the athletics on Friday
The look of love: The royals have been married for two years
Sports fan: The princess clapped and cheered as she followed the world class athletics
On duty: The couple shared a programme before leaving their seats to present medals to the winners
Praise from a princess: The royal congratulates athletes as she presents their medals
On form: The royals watched Mo Farah break the British 1500m record
She said they were tears of happiness
and rumours that she had tried to flee after getting cold feet in the
run up to the big day were 'categorical lies'.
In an interview with The Times she explained of her tears: 'Everything was just so overwhelming and there were all the mixed emotions because of the rumours, and obviously the tension built up and I burst into tears.
'And then I burst into tears some more because I was thinking "Oh no, now the whole world has seen me cry".'
True to her words, the princess couldn't have looked happier with her husband on Friday. The couple were seen smiling and chatting as they shared a programme to follow the track and field action.
As they stood at one point, she tenderly looped her arms around her husband's, who looked smart in a suit and red tie.
The royal couple were treated to some exciting races including seeing Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah break the 1500m European record.
His time of 3 minutes and 28 seconds also broke the British record that has been held by Steve Cram for the last 28 years.

Loan recovery agent targets wrong guy
Expatriate gets legal notice from bank loan recovery agents for outstanding amount on credit card and personal loans –- only problem was he had never taken a loan and had not outstanding on his card

- Almost duped: Edipolo Aggarao
Dubai: A Dubai expatriate was horrified after receiving a legal notice from bank loan recovery agents demanding that he cough up the outstanding amount on his HSBC credit card and personal loans – or face legal action.
Edipolo Aggarao, 57, however, initially thought he was being lured into a scam as he holds no HSBC-issued credit card.
"I was shocked when I received this first notice from the agent," said the Filipino who works as design director of an advertising firm in Dubai Media City.
Enzi Corp, based in Manila's Ortigas Centre and an authorised credit collection agent of HSBC Bank Middle East, sent a "first notice" to Aggarao on January 16, stating: "The said bank has referred to us your long-overdue credit card and overdraft account (numbers deleted) with a total obligation of Dh35,107.08 as of December 10, 2012."
The agent gave Aggarao until January 21, a "non-extendible" period of five days from receipt of the e-mail, to positively respond. "In the event of failure to act on this matter," the notice stated, "we will recommend to the bank that your account may now be scheduled for filing of civil and/or criminal case against you, in accordance with UAE Law."
The bank and its agents, however, found themselves red faced after it turned out that Aggarao, who has been in the UAE for 27 years, was the wrong target.
An HSBC spokesperson told XPRESS: "We have reviewed the issues raised and would like to advise you that the e-mail sent to Mr. Aggarao was in error. We have apologised to Mr. Aggarao and have arranged to rectify the issue to avoid recurrence of a similar experience in the future."

Two eating / drinking events I'm looking forward to this weekend
It's looking like a whiskey and chili weekend for me and I couldn't be more excited to indulge. Here are two events I plan to attend this weekend and I think you should consider going, too.
"Winter Spirits" dinner at Great Lakes Distillery
This Saturday, Jan. 28, Great Lakes Distillery teams up with Kasana Concierge Gourmet and will host a pop-up, six-course dinner infused with spirits in the midst of the distillery's operations, 616 W. Virginia St. Great Lake's Jason Neu will complement each course with a crafted cocktail. (I thought pop-up was just for books, so I look forward to experiencing my first dinner of this kind.)
Plus, documentary filmmaker Janet Fitsch will be a special dinner guest and musician and composer Allen Cote will perform during the reception.
The event runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and costs $55 per person or $100 per couple. Tickets are still available through today, Thursday, Jan. 26. I'll be the one trying to down lots of water in between cocktails so I don't say or do anything overtly inappropriate.
The 6th Annual Milwaukee Chili Cook-Off
More than 30 local restaurants will compete for the "golden ladle award" this Sunday, Jan. 29, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There will be more than 60 types of chili to sample.
In the past, the event was held at the Harley Museum, but because of its growing popularity, it required a larger venue this year and will therefore take over Potawatomi Bingo Casino's new Expo Center.
The event is held every year between the championships and the Super Bowl to assure football fans can make it because we all know 96 percent of all chili consumption is done by fans of the NFL. (This statistic may have been made up).
The cost is $15 at the door or $12 in advance. Kids under 7 are free. Anyone attending under 18 must get registered online prior to the event because the event is in a casino which normally does not allow children.
Each ticket includes admission and eight 3-ounce chili samples which will range from traditional to seafood to sweet potato to bratwurst chili. I know I'll be stuffing my bean hole, but I hope my picky kids will at least try some of these wacky chilis. At least they can load up on complimentary bread sticks from Sciortino's Bakery, if need be.

A Paul Gauguin painting that was attacked by a visitor to the National Gallery of Art in Washington is back on exhibition.
The painting, "Two Tahitian Women," went back on display Tuesday. Conservators determined that the $80 million painting, which was covered by Plexiglas, sustained no damage after a visitor attempted to pull it off the wall and hit it Friday.
The woman charged in the attack, Susan Burns of Alexandria, Va., is expected to appear in D.C. Superior Court on Wednesday. According to court documents, Burns said she believed Gauguin was evil and objected to nudity in the painting.
Burns was arrested and charged with attempted second-degree theft and destruction of property.

Originally written on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 10/15/14
CLEVELAND (AP) -- After exploring other options and coming up empty this winter, the Cleveland Indians may have finally found their new first baseman: Casey Kotchman. The team agreed to terms Thursday night on a one-year, 3 million contract with Kotchman, a free agent, two people familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal is not expected to be announced until Friday. Kotchman can make an additional 1.75 million in performance bonuses, one of the persons said. Kotchman batted a career-best .306 with 10 homers and 48 RBIs in a career-high 146 games for Tampa Bay last season. It was a breakout year for the 28-year-old, who signed a minor league contract with the Rays last January. Kotchman was one of only three AL First basemen -- Detroit's Miguel Cabrera and Boston's Adrian Gonzalez were the others -- to finish in the top 10 in both batting average and on-base percentage while appearing in at least 40 games at the position. Kotchman is expected to compete for the Indians' starting job at first during training camp with Matt LaPorta and Russ Canzler, who signed with the club earlier this week. LaPorta has been a major disappointment for the Indians, who made finding a quality hitter at first one of their offseason priorities. The team couldn't afford Prince Fielder, one of the gems of this year's free agent class, and the Indians were rejected by Carlos Pena, who spurned their one-year offer and re-signed with the Rays after a year with the Chicago Cubs. Kotchman, a solid hitter and superb fielder, could be their answer. Because LaPorta still has a minor league option, it's possible he could begin next seasons at Triple-A Columbus. Kotchman also has a much better glove, another plus in his favor to win the starting job. Kotchman bats left-handed and is a career. 268 hitter with 59 homers in eight seasons with the Angels, Atlanta, Boston, Seattle and Tampa Bay. His career .998 fielding percentage is the highest in major league history among first basemen with at least 700 games at the position.
