Mashup of the Day: And to think, before the Internet you had to walk three miles each way in the snow to watch a dressage routine set to Lil’ Kim’s “Lighters Up.”
God bless technology.

Follow Up of the Day: Abducted Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was rescued yesterday by Venezuelan forces after being held captive by gunmen for over 50 hours.
“The truth is I’m still very nervous, but thanks to God everything turned out well,” Ramos told local media.
According to the country’s communications minister, Andres Izarra, Ramos was located in Montalban, a town in the state of Carabobo, some 40 miles northwest of his home in Valencia where he was kidnapped by three armed assailants.
Five men were arrested in connection with the abduction. Among them, a Colombian “linked to paramilitary groups and to kidnapping groups.” Ramos confirmed that some of the men were Colombian, identifying them by their accent.
“They simply told me to cooperate, that they were going to ask for a ton of cash for me,” he recounted. “They put me in a room with a bed. I was lying there. It was hard for me to think about, if I was going to get out alive first of all…about how my family, my mother were.”
He noted that he was severely shaken by the incident, but did not experience physical harm.
As for his return to baseball: “As soon as I feel all right, I’m going to start playing.”

Barefoot Running
This definitely has me intrigued. I don’t know if I could ever actually go barefoot- DC sidewalks….ewwwww! And, those fivefinger shoes look a little silly, but maybe I should give them a shot. In the meantime, I am going to remember not to bounce on the balls of my feet… No harm in tryin.
Why We're Suspicious of Women's Sexual Harassment Claims
This is a fantastic article by my adviser (and a favorite professor) from Sewanee. She has also written a book! Look for Sex in the Office: A History of Gender, Power and Desire coming out in March.
