My goodness, Vermont has hosted a lot of big news in the last week.

It continues today, and if you've been wrapped up in Capt. Richard Phillips' saga at sea, you might want to tune in while your local newspaper does more of that live coverage thing.

Andrea Phillips, the wife of captain Richard Phillips, will provide a statement at a news briefing at 4 p.m. today at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel & Conference Center in South Burlington. The Burlington Free Press plans to provide live coverage of her statement.
