Police: Worcester man crashes through North End skylight, but he's not Batman, so they arrest him

Boston Police report arresting Edward Fennessey, 26, on breaking-and-entering charges around 1:50 a.m. after a Hanover Street resident called to report strange noises coming from his building's skylight area.

Officers observed the skylight was damaged and glass fragments were on the stairs leading to the roof.

While officers were canvassing the area, they observed a plywood door to a vacant apartment damaged. Officers then observed the suspect kicking out a window screen to the vacant apartment.

Innocent, etc.

Mike Daisey's issues with the truth didn't start in China - try ART in Cambridge

The fantasist stirred up a bit of a hornet's nest with his not entirely factual "report" from the alleged Apple slaveshops of China. But the Phoenix's Carly Carioli reports he played a little fast and loose with the facts surrounding that performance at ART in 2007 when an entire class of students at a Christian school walked out.

Miss Farrell and Capt. Louis Thebaud on board the fishing schooner Gertrude L. Thebaud at Gloucester

Miss Farrell and Capt. Louis Thebaud

Didn't we see him in a Tin Tin strip?

In 1930, Louis A. Thebaud had a fishing and racing schooner commissioned and named for his wife. The Boston Public Library this week posted a bunch of photos of the schooner, including some of its celebrated first races against the Bluenose, before which Thebaud posed with Miss Ferrell. You can watch part of a later race, filmed from the deck of the Bluenose.

OMG: Don Warner Saklad catches his white whale

As Universal Hub regulars and Boston-area Internet denizens know only too well, the omnipresent Saklad has been on a seemingly quixotic quest for years now to gain access to the records kept by the stenographer the Boston City Council for some reason continues to employ to record all of its meetings in this era of cheap audio and video recordings.

Brace yourself: This morning Saklad got one of those records! He opened his inbox to:

Per your request, attached please find the electronic file from this
week's council meeting.

Ann H. Braga, Esq. MPA
Staff Director
Boston City Council
