--Why are so many bats dying mysteriously in New England? No one can figure out why, which doesn't bode well. [Boston Globe]

--The Natick Collection appears to be in trouble. Perhaps it's because no one realizes that "Collection" actually means "fancy mall." And the attitude of some of the owners, including one who said "We have to educate our customers on style" isn't helping. [Boston Globe]

--At least one local blog is shocked after Kentucky Derby 2nd place finisher Eight Belles was euthanized after breaking both her legs in the finish. Maybe it's time for the sport to re-evaluate? There are many other worthy horse sports that don't involve racing. [Blue Mass Group]

--Props to those who did the Walk for Hunger despite the weather. [WBZ]

Memorial for Luis Troncoso, who died in a shooting in JP, taken by LoveLyss during the Wake Up the Earth festival. Photo tagged "Bostonist" on Flickr.

--Update: C's win!
