While home invasions by opportunistic bats are pretty common in Louisiana this time of year, an apartment in Metairie became one of the more extreme cases when it was colonized by a massive army of the creatures, numbering in the hundreds. Photo: Wikimedia Commons Wvue News New Orleans reported on the winged takeover, which completely freaked out the current tenant (who vacated the premises) and the building's owner, Wendy Whitsett, who hired wildlife control expert Charles Parker to evict the winged squatters. “[T]he type of bats we have in this area are colonistic,” Parker told Wvue News, “so they like to be together, so typically, in one night, 1,000 bats show up.” Photo: Michael & Patricia Fogden/Corbis Parker's work is critical, not only due to the risk of rabies from bat bites, but also from the animals' droppings, which can contain dangerous airborne parasites that are harmful if breathed.

It's harsher and more sombre than the John Wayne version, but the Coen brothers' True Grit is every bit as good
The Coen brothers' excellent western True Grit is a second and rather different version of Charles Portis's novel, rather than a remake of the 1969 film that brought John Wayne an Oscar as the one-eyed bounty hunter Marshal Rooster Cogburn. Portis's novel, a demotic classic in the tradition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is narrated by Mattie Ross, a prim, Presbyterian spinster looking back from the 1920s to the great adventure of her life. In 1878, just 13 years after the civil war, she set out at the age of 14 to bring to justice the crooked hired hand Tom Chaney, who murdered her father in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Although she was well played by the 21-year-old Kim Darby as a perky modern miss in the first film, the picture was dominated by Wayne.
