“Authorities in Pittsburgh have temporarily shuttered a Chicago artist’s atmospheric installation after three visitors reported experiencing seizure-like symptoms,” the CBC reports.
Similarly, authorities in Chicago have shuttered the managing career of Dale Sveum for much the same reason.

“The Chicago Cubs have fired Dale Sveum as their manager, and amid rumors of Joe Girardi leaving the Yankees for Chicago, this is sure to make him happy. I have no doubt that he has no interest in managing in Chicago and moving his family miles away, but he can and probably will use this situation to his advantage,” Jason Cohen writes for SBNation out of New York.
Local broadcasters David Kaplan and Dan Bernstein are reporting that their sources say there is mutual interest between the Cubs and Girardi, but Girardi told reporters on Sunday that his kids are “engrossed” in their Westchester County schools and he has few remaining ties to Chicago left.
I was among those who thought the Cubs should have hired Girardi when they had the chance instead of Lou Piniella, but my guess is that it’s too late now.
