December 5. 2012 - Jazz musician Dave Brubeck died Wednesday morning at Norwalk Hospital, in Norwalk, Conn., his longtime manager-producer-conductor Russell Gloyd tells the Chicago Tribune.

this middle-aged woman came marching past my barstool, and she looked displeased with something, maybe with me, since i was staring at her tits, which were encased in a tight white sweater and bullet-proof bra and reminded me of a 55 buick. i got some kind of mental wave from her, disgust mainly, that nearly knoocked me off my stool. what the hell was that about?

Long written off as a myth—it was never caught or photographed—the documents provided by the National Archives show that officials in the State Department, Foreign Service, and U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal, not only believed in "Yeti," but endorsed rules for American expeditions to follow when hunting the toothy monster down. "There are, at present, three regulations applicable only to expeditions ...
