When the Baltimore Ravens arrived in New Orleans on Monday night, they more than likely expected the culmination of the month-long Ray Lewis Farewell Tour that the media had been throwing him since the start of the postseason. Instead, those Ravens have dealt with controversial comments from Bernard Pollard, even more controversial comments from Ed Reed and a whole lot of talk about deer-antler spray. And guess what? None of it matters. Another team? Maybe they'd be affected by the apparent distractions from a surprisingly hectic week leading up to the Super Bowl. Another group of guys? For sure. But these Baltimore Ravens are not like any other team in the league. If anything, all this "hate" and "work of the devil" (Ray Lewis's words, not mine) will galvanize them. They'll rally around this like few teams ever have gathered around adversity ever before. I picked the Ravens to beat the Giants in Week 16 of the regular season. They'd lost three straight games, they were coming...

text: Business Bitcoin prices plummet after U.S. IRS ruling, rumors of Chinese trade block Image Credit: BTC Keychain/Flickr March 31, 2014 5:30 PM Hanqing Chen 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. The price of the Bitcoin is at its lowest in almost five months, after two major challenges to its legitimacy. The first challenge struck last Tuesday, when the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ruled that Bitcoin must be treated legally as property, not currency. The IRS ruling may stem the spread of Bitcoin in the U.S., according to analysts, because the ruling means any gains investors see from the appreciation of Bitcoin are taxable. New York tax attorney Jeffrey Hochberg told CNNMoney that the going rate of the currency fluctuates too widely, and would create an "accounting nightmare" for taxpayers. Meanwhile, rumors also surfaced last Thursday suggesting that the People's Bank of China, China's central bank, would block trading of the Bitcoin. The PBOC has yet to issue an official response to the rumors, keeping Bitcoin prices low through today. According to the CoinDesk USD Bitcoin Price Index, the price of the cryptocurrency tumbled from $580 on March 26 to today's low of $442, around a 31% drop. Above: Graph of the Coindesk Bitcoin Price Index for the past 7 days. The last time the price of the Bitcoin was below $450 was in mid-November: Above: Coindesk BPI from October 2013 to March 31, 2014. The heavy silence from the PBOC this week is a stark contrast to PBOC officials' swift response to a similar rumor just two weeks ago. On March 21, a false post in a financial news feed on China's Sina Weibo microblogging platform suggested that China's central bank was going to block the trading of Bitcoin beginning in mid-April. At that time, PBOC officials pointed users to a regulation that began in December 2013 banning Chinese financial institutions from using the currency. The PBOC's regulation warned banks and payment companies against giving pricing in Bitcoin, buying or selling the virtual currency, or even insuring Bitcoin-linked products, according to the bank's website. VentureBeat has reached out to the PBOC for comment and will update when we hear back.

Military history of Vietnam
Army and warfare probably made their first appearance in Vietnamese history during the 3rd millennium BC. Throughout thousands of years, wars played a great role in shaping the identity and culture of people inhabited the land which is modern day Vietnam. The military history of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam began when Japan invaded French Indochina and soon defeated the French resistance. Since then, Vietnam has fought in many conflicts in Indochina.
Hong Bang period[edit]
Weapons are the most common Bronze Age artifacts found so far. The presence of arms in many tombs of upper-class people indicates the existence of a warrior class in Dong Son society during the Hong Bang period.
Medieval period[edit]
Warfare during this 1500 years period was characterized by combination of amphibious and land assaults. Owing to the fragmented terrain and long coast line of the country, maneuvers by boats were favored by most military forces who had fought in Vietnam. Small scale coastal and border raiding were frequent. Domestic violence as well as foreign incursions were equally common.It is possible that during this period that Vietnam was at its height of power,first by defeating the southern Han in 937 AD.Then they emerged and defeated the neighboring kingdoms of Khmer,Champa,and the Song dynasty.In the 13th century,the Vietnamese defeated the great Yuan dynasty of the Mongol empire 3 times.
Later Le period[edit]
Around 15th-16th century, firearms started to gain dominance on Vietnamese battlefields. Rivaling feudal lords were quick to adopt these new deadly weapons. Tactics were changed to accommodate guns and cannons and soon the country had as many guns as it could afford.
Nguyen period[edit]
- Invasion of French Indochina
The Japanese invasion of French Indochina was a successful Japanese campaign against the French colonial power in Southeast Asia. The invasion was a part of a greater strategy which was meant to surround and isolate China. Following the fall of the French in Indochina, Viet Minh began its campaign against the Japanese occupiers, using guerrilla tactics. The conflict ended when Japan surrendered to the United States, following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Communist period[edit]
- First Indochina War
Following the allied victory in World War II, France was hoping to regain control over its former colony in Indochina, which was also claimed by the Viet Minh. France attempted to invade and reoccupy Vietnam, but after nine years of war, the French gave up and retreated from Indochina. This resulted in Indochina being divided into four countries: North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea.
- Laotian Civil War
The Laotian Civil War began in 1953 when war escalated between the government forces and Pathet Lao, which received support from North Vietnam and China. In addition to their desire to impose a communist government in Laos, Vietnam also wanted to control the strategically important areas in Laos. The conflict ended in 1975, when Pathet Lao seized power in Laos, ending the Kingdom of Laos.
- North Vietnamese invasion of Laos
The North Vietnamese invasion of Laos begun in 1958 as a mixed result of boundary disputes and the Hanoi Regime's desire to control the Ho Chi Minh-path. The invasion was a success, and North Vietnam secured control over important parts of Laos.
- Vietnam War
The Vietnam War started when North Vietnam and the Viet Cong attacked South Vietnam, seeking to reunite the country by force. This led to an American intervention, which lasted until 1973, when they withdrew their forces from Vietnam following a peace treaty. The war went on, and in 1975 North Vietnam emerged victorious.
- Cambodian Civil War
The Cambodian Civil War was a mixed result of the Khmer Rouge's desire to establish a communist regime in Cambodia, eventually dragging Cambodia into the Vietnam War due to the North Vietnamese support for the Khmer Rouge and their use of Cambodian soil to stage attacks into South Vietnam. The US heavily bombed PVA, VC and Khmer Rouge position in Cambodia. Khmer Rouge was aided militarily by the North Vietnam and the Viet Cong, and won the war in 1975.
- Hmong Insurgency
When the Laotian Civil War ended in 1975, the government of Laos started to persecute the Hmong-tribes, who had been fighting alongside the United States in the Vietnam War. Vietnam has participated in the persecution, which has led to thousands of Hmong fleeing to the United States and Thailand. Although the Hmong no longer poses a military threat to the government of Laos, they are still categorized as "bandits" by the authorities.
- Civil unrest in South Vietnam
After the Vietnam War was over, some groups in South Vietnam refused to accept the Hanoi regime as the legitimate government of Vietnam. The resistance lasted until the 1980s, when the rebellion ultimately failed.
- Cambodian-Vietnamese War
When the Vietnam War ended, the Khmer Rouge, which then controlled Cambodia, claimed the Mekong Delta being a historical part of Cambodia. When Vietnam refused to cede the delta to Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge responded by conducting several border skirmishes, infiltrations and sabotage. By the late 1978, Vietnam invaded Cambodia, and after two weeks of fighting, Vietnamese forces captured Pnomh Penh. Vietnam occupied Cambodia until 1988.
- Vietnamese border raids in Thailand
The Vietnamese border raids in Thailand were a Vietnamese attempt to stop the Khmer Rouge from using Thailand as a base when fighting against Vietnam and the Vietnamese-friendly regime in Pnomh Penh. This nearly led to a war, as Vietnamese troops often penetrated into Thai territory, chasing Khmer Rouge guerrillas. This often resulted in clashes between Vietnamese and Thai forces. However, this never led to a war.
- Sino-Vietnamese war
The Sino-Vietnamese War was a Chinese attempt to force Vietnam out of Cambodia. China launched invasion of Vietnam, but faced much tougher resistance than expected. The Chinese invasion lost its progress relatively quickly. The Vietnamese conducted cross-border raids and succeeded in disrupting the Chinese fire support. When the initial offensive had been halted, a new wave of attack was sent in, and eight Chinese divisions were sent into Vietnam. The Chinese penetrated 15–20 km into Vietnamese territory at most, but the price of human life and equipment were very high. Vietnam did not mobilize its regular divisions, which was meant to protect Hanoi if necessary, and no troops were pulled out of Cambodia during the war. In Lang Son, the hardest battles took place. The city was heavily fortified by the Vietnamese Army, and it took 17 counterattacks before the Chinese were able to capture the city. The Vietnamese troops pulled out of the city itself, but established heavy positions in the surrounding mountains. Soon after, Deng Xiapong announced that China would pull out its forces. 25 Chinese Divisions of the Third Field Army had been taking part of the invasion. Not a single Vietnamese Regular Division had been mobilized, and the Chinese invasion did not affect the Vietnamese presence in Cambodia. In less than a month, according to Western sources, the Chinese Army had suffered some 26,000 KIA and 37,000 WIA. Both sides claimed victory.
- Second Sino-Vietnamese War
When China withdrew all their forces from Vietnam in 1979, they occupied some small areas along the border, and sometimes launched full-scale invasions of Vietnamese cities. The Vietnamese often responded with heavy force. The conflict ended in 1990, when China ended their campaign against Vietnam.
- Thai-Laotian Border War
The Thai-Laotian Border War begun in 1987, when Thailand invaded parts of Laos which they claimed to be theirs. Laos responded with force, and the Thai forces were pushed back to the border. During this brief war, Vietnam reinforced its communist ally, and helped them in their war against Thailand. The war ended with a ceasefire in 1988, when Laos had successfully regained all lost ground, and pushed the Thai forces out of the disputed territory.

OAKLAND -- Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes, leading the red-hot New Orleans Saints to their third consecutive victory Sunday, a 38-17 rout of the Oakland Raiders at O.co Coliseum. The Saints improved to 5-5 and continued their climb back into playoff contention after an 0-4 start. The Raiders continued streaking in the wrong direction, losing their third straight game and falling to 3-7. Rookie coach Dennis Allen, who won a Super Bowl during his five-year stint as a Saints assistant coach, lost to his former team. Brees threw a touchdown pass in his 53rd straight game, an ongoing NFL record. He connected on scoring strikes of 38 and 15 yards to wide receiver Lance Moore and hit tight end Jimmy Graham with a 1-yard touchdown pass. Brees completed 20 of 27 passes for 219 yards. He threw no interceptions and compiled a 134.6 passer rating. He beat the Raiders for the seventh straight time -- the first five in that streak as a member of the San Diego Chargers. Saints f...

Congress mulls declaring wildfires as natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes
Climate change has contributed to the increasing number of wildfires in the American West as temperatures get hotter and forests get drier. Congress is now considering treating wildfires like earthquakes and hurricanes, declaring the occurrences as natural disasters. That move would provide additional emergency funding to fight wildfires as they occur, so federal and state agencies would no longer have to transfer funds from fire-prevention programs.
U.S. mulls ways to handle complex child immigration issue
The influx of unaccompanied children crossing into the United States has reached crisis proportions, with 90,000 now in the United States. The children are escaping violence and deprivation in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, but a George W. Bush-era law prevents their rapid repatriation. Leading Republicans want to change the law, but many Democrats condition such a change on folding it into a comprehensive immigration reform.
Wave of illegal children immigrants shifts debate on use of executive powers
After several immigration bills stalled in Congress, President Barack Obama, in 2012 and 2013, issued a series of executive orders to limit the number of deportations of illegal immigrants. Many who advocated a tougher stance on immigration have charged Obama with failure to consult with Congress. The Obama administration is now trying to find a way to deport Central American illegal immigrants, many of them unaccompanied children, without running afoul of a George W. Bush 2008 law which makes such deportation difficult – and some of his immigration criticswant him to take executive action on the issue, a shift from their usual criticism that he has abused his executive powers.
DHS urged to investigate use of DHS grants for Motorola emergency comm. devices
Three senior House Democrats have requested DHS's Office of Inspector Generalto investigate allegations claiming Motorola's contracting tactics have led state and local governments unnecessarily to spend millions of dollars on the company's proprietary devices, including its two-way emergency radio systems.
As TRIA is set to expire in December, reauthorization by Congress is not a sure thing
After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. insurance industry sustained an estimated $32.5 billion in total losses. In 2002, to encourage insurance companies to continue covering terrorism as part of commercial policies after many dropped the coverage for fear of more financial loss should another terror attack occur, Congress passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act(TRIA).There has yet to be a TRIA payout due to the absence of a large-scale terrorist attack since the law went into effect. With TRIA expected to expire on 17 December 2014, businesses and some members of Congress are advocating the extension of the legislation, but two pending proposals in Congress have yet to gather the needed support to reauthorize TRIA.
Five House Homeland Security top policy staffers fired
Brendan Shields, the new staff director for House Homeland Security Committeechairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), fired five top policy staffers on 20 June, including McCaul's top advisers on border security and counterterrorism.Observers note that without his own cadre of policy experts, McCaul may have less influence on legislation, especially if subcommittee heads with opposing views become more involved in drafting policies.
High-tech industry-backed immigration reform advocacy group mulls strategy
FWD.us, an immigration advocacy group launched by Facebookfounder Mark Zuckerberg, has spent millions of dollars on advertising and events to persuade members of Congress to revamp the country's immigration policy, but despite having the capital, connections, and star power, the tech industry-based group is now forced to reorganize its strategies in the midst of a polarizing immigration debate.
Efforts to discourage unaccompanied minors from entering U.S. have so far failed
The administration's efforts to discourage children from Central America and Mexico from illegally entering the United States continue to gain little traction, and the number of migrants under eighteen years old illegally crossing the U.S-Mexico border continues to increase. Officials blame the surge in young migrants on the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, a 2008 law which made it difficult to repatriate unaccompanied minors without letting then appear before an immigration judge. The administration has asked Congress to change the 2008 law to give DHS greater discretion in repatriating Central American children more quickly, but some Senate Democrats have vowed to block narrow changes to immigration laws.
Privacy advocates worried about new Senate cybersecurity bill
Privacy groups are concerned that a new Senate cybersecurity bill could give the NSA unrestricted access to personal information of Americans. The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), a counterpart to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) which passed the House in 2013, would create a "gaping loophole in existing privacy law," several privacy advocacy groups wrote in a letter to lawmakers.
Obama administration wants $500 million to train, equip moderate Syrian rebels
The Obama administration is planning to escalate U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war, and has asked Congress for $500 million for the U.S. military to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels. The training program would be the most significant action yet by the United States in the conflict in Syria. Yesterday's (Thursday) request to Congress comes as the administration is looking for effective alternatives to the jihadist ISIS which is now in control of large swaths of Syria and Iraq. The $500 million request is separate from the $5 billion Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund, of which some $1.5 billion would go toward counterterrorism efforts in countries around Syria — Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq. The president also wants to set aside $500 million to "address unforeseen contingencies" in counterterrorism, which administration officials said was a reference to developments in Iraq.
Congress may modify the amount, manner by which Project BioShield procurements are funded
In 2004, Congress passed the Project BioShield Act to provide the federal government with new authorities related to the development, procurement, and use of medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism agents. Among other things, the authority allows the government to guarantee a market for CBRN medical countermeasures. Under this provision, the secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) may obligate funds to purchase countermeasures that still need up to ten more years of development. Since 2004, HHS has obligated approximately $3.309 billion to guarantee a government market for countermeasures against anthrax, smallpox, botulism, radiation, and nerve agents. Another provision established a process through which the HHS secretary may temporarily allow the emergency use of countermeasures which lack Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. The 113th Congress may also consider modifying the amount and manner by which it funds Project BioShield procurements.
Badly engineered missile defense systems deployed "because there was a rush"
In 1983 President Ronald Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to build space- and ground-based missile defense systems. The space-based component was abandoned as impractical, and the focus shifted to Ground-based Midcourse Defense systems (GMD). Despite disappointing results and program test failures, Congress and the George W. Bush administration pressed forward with spending billions on acquiring systems of questionable reliability. "We recognize the problems we have had with all the currently fielded interceptors," Undersecretary of Defense Frank Kendall old an industry gathering in February 2014. "The root cause was a desire to field these things very quickly and very cheaply; we are seeing a lot of bad engineering, frankly, and it was because there was a rush."
A bill offers a military path to citizenship for Dreamers
The Enlist Act,authored by Representative Jeff Denham (R-California) would allow immigrants who were brought to the United States illegally before 2012 and below the age of fifteen at the time (Dreamers) to enlist in the military, earning them permanent legal status, and upon honorable discharge, eligibility for U.S. citizenship. Denham and his co-sponsors tried to get the proposal though the National Defense Authorization Act(NDAA), a bill likely to pass, but House leaders rejected the idea.
Critics say $265 billion transportation bill insufficient
Transportation advocates criticize the lack of an increase in funding in the Senate's $265 billion surface transportation bill recently unveiled. Senate leaders said the bill would replace the current transportation funding measure and maintain current funding levels, adjusted for inflation, for the next six years. The proposed bill includes $44 billion annually for road and transit projects, based on a Congressional Budget Office(CBO) estimate of how much funding will be needed to maintain current federal transit programs. The CBC has projected that Department of Transportation's Highway Trust Fund will run out of money by August 2014 without congressional action.
Bill would encourage development of drugs to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) reported that two million Americans are infected by antibiotic-resistant pathogens every year, and the pathogens cause 23,000 deaths annually. In 1990, about twenty pharmaceutical companies had large antibiotic research and development programs, but today only three large firms and a few small companies are investing in antibiotic research. A new proposed bill, the Developing an Innovative Strategy for Antimicrobial Resistant Microorganisms Act, would encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The following is for genealogists with an interest in Susan's family history.
Ancestor List for Susan Kinney
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text. There are no images or colors. This makes it well-suited for printing when you're doing offline research.
Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Since Susan has no children the descendants page isn't available. Do you know of children? Please let the profile managers know.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Susan's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Susan gets her mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Susan's X chromosome, also shown here. The DNA Descendants link isn't active because Susan has no children. It may still be possible to test connections to Susan by testing other descendants of her ancestors who inherited the same X chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Susan's tree. This is still fairly complex. WikiTree is working on tools that will make it simpler.
Family Group Sheet
This page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's especially handy when someone had children from more than one marriage. It may not be useful here unless you add children.
Global Family Reunion Connection
This is a special tool associated with the Global Family Reunion being planned for this June. It enables you to see Susan's connection to AJ Jacobs, the organizer of the reunion. Note that the Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder.
Images of Susan
Here are photographs and source images for Susan. Please contact the profile managers if you have any to add.
Index of Kinneys
This page shows all the Kinneys on WikiTree. It's useful for genealogists with an interest in the surname that goes beyond Susan. There are a variety of connected tools, such as Kinney DNA Connections and KINNEY G2G.

Profile of Susan
The profile page is the central place for organizing and viewing information and sources on an individual. This tree & tools page is a supplement to it. Whenever you see Susan's name on WikiTree (and ideally, elsewhere on the Internet!) it will be linked to the profile at http://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Kinney-270 where Kinney-270 is Susan's unique WikiTree ID.
Relationship Finder
Enter Kinney-270 and any other WikiTree ID to find the genealogical relationship between Susan and the other person. It will name the relationship, e.g. "third cousin twice removed," and show the trail of connections to a common ancestor. Although not everyone on WikiTree shares common ancestors, finding and connecting them is our ultimate goal.
Shareable Family Tree
This is a family tree page for Susan that is designed for sharing on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. Copy and paste the URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Kinney-270/4 into your favorite social network.
The surnames page is a quick reference sheet that displays seven generations of Susan's family names. Many members share its URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Kinney-270/10 via e-mail, e.g. with a DNA match to ask if the other person recognizes a surname.
Here are additional tools to help genealogists collaborate on WikiTree to grow Susan's family history.

Family Tree Widgets
If you're a blogger who's writing a post about Susan or have a Kinney family website or surname website you can include one of these widgets to illustrate her tree.

Tests of Susan's DNA
If Susan's DNA (not a family member's or descendant's DNA) has been tested for genealogical purposes the test or tests should be selected here. This will automatically create connections on the profiles of Susan's relatives where the test may be useful for confirming relationships. It's very valuable for advanced genealogy. To add tests you need to be on Susan's Trusted List.
Trusted List
This shows you the WikiTree members who have full power to access and edit Susan's information. Use it to see who else shares your interest in Susan and receives updates about changes to the profile. The Relationship Finder icon links next their names will show you their relationship to Susan.
Here are ways to connect and communicate with genealogists regarding Susan's profile, especially if you're unable to collaborate directly using the WikiTree Tools above.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has halted extension talks with the team in order to "concentrate on this season" according to ESPN Dallas. Romo is signed though 2013 and will turn 33 in April. The Cowboys Executive VP Stephen Jones recently said that the team wanted Romo to retire in Dallas. Currently Dallas is 3-5 and Romo is one of the biggest reasons. Though 8 games Romo has tossed 13 interceptions. Romo has racked up 2,394 yards thanks in part to the Cowboys trailing in games and a lackluster running game. Last season Romo set career highs with 4,184 yards passing and 31 touchdowns. He threw just 10 interceptions last season and compiled a 102.5 quarterback rating. This season that rating has dipped to 82.2, which is a career low.

'Here's your sign' comic returns to Tucson's AVA
Bill Engvall, the Blue Collar comic who has made a career with his signature punchline "Here's your sign," is heading to Casino del Sol's AVA this spring.
Engvall will play a show March 16 at the amphitheater, 5655 W. Valencia Road. Tickets start at $40 through tickets.solcasinos.com
Engvall, who played his last Tucson show in 2011 at Desert Diamond Casino, is one of two Blue Collar Comedy veterans set to play the AVA this spring. Larry the Cable Guy will join Reno Collier for a show there April 28.
Laffs plans open-mic showcases in February
Laffs Comedy Caffe will roll out a new showcase for its devoted open-mic crowd.
Starting with "The Young & Forgetful" on Feb. 21, the comedy club at 2900 E. Broadway will invite groups of comedians to buddy up on a single bill.
Laffs talent coordinator Gary Hood said the new showcase gives comedians a chance to better promote their shows and get more stage time during open mic nights.
"We're just trying to develop talent and get people on stage," Hood said.
The Feb. 21 show will feature four comedians, including one of Laff's youngest regular open mic participants - he's 18 - and Simon, one of the oldest regulars.
On Feb. 28, former Bill Maher writer Mike Sterner will join his wife and three other comics for "Adventures in Tucson Comedy."
Doors open at 8 p.m. on open mic nights, and there is no cover charge. Details: www.laffstucson.com
Johnston tries again at Club congress
Singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston is making good on the gig he canceled at Club Congress last November.
No official reason was given for the cancellation beyond "unforeseen circumstances," but ticket holders for November's show are welcome to use them when Johnston tries again at the club this Saturday.
Hailing from Texas, Johnston has long been known for his musical storytelling, as well as for his battles with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
His music over the last few decades has inspired scores of musicians, the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain among them.
Johnston's show starts at 7 p.m. For those without tickets, it is $20 in advance and $22 at the door. Call 622-8848 for more information.

39 year old man | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking women 27-41 within 75 miles
I honestly don't like the dating rat race; but...
I honestly don't like the dating rat race; but apparently it's something that must be done in order to find that one person you want to be with. :) So, I still consider myself somewhat new to Austin, I'm still searching for those great drives. The drives that only the locals appreciate: the scenic routes, the calm and quiet flats, and the one I want to be on, is when a great love song comes on the radio and a beautiful woman is in the passenger seat. Yes, I have a passion for racing fast cars and motorcycles, but that's one of the few stereotypical guy traits I have. I am not a huge sports buff (except racing). I don't go looking for women for flings. And, although I've gone after the things I want in life, I'm still pretty shy in most social situations. It would take far too long for me to tell you everything about me and part of the fun of dating is those first "getting to know you" conversations. I want to see the corner of your mouth curl into a smile when I tell you about my most embarrassing moments, but all of that comes later. So here are a few things you might find helpful now. I'm: Respectful and Down to Earth Honest and Open Affectionate and Kind Sweet and Funny (well at least people tend to laugh a lot around me) Christian with a strong moral compass I'm looking for a woman to have fun with here in Austin and hopefully turn that friendship into a great romance. The compliment I love receiving is, "You'd make a great father." So, I'm looking for a woman who's interested in the long haul. So, what type of woman am I looking for exactly? Intelligence, kindness, passionate about fitness, and a Christ-centered focus are traits I strongly admire in a woman. I'm honest so I'll tell you upfront that it's also important for me to have a strong physical attraction to my partner. You don't need to be a model, but I do have a type: slim, long hair, nice legs, a fan of high heels and a nice dress. Oh, and you should definitely like riding on motorbikes! There's still some warm weather left and the open road is calling. I hope you think we're a good match because there's nothing like a great date and a great drive on a gorgeous night. Send me an email (and send along a photo if you don't have any posted. If you want a more recent one of me just ask. Fair is fair).

I love thunderstorms and that first rain; if you add in a great kiss and some cuddling then that's pretty close to perfection. I also love music (my favorite DJ is Deadmau5), coffee, and of course, cars and bikes.
I love riding my motorcycle, going to races, just about anything with cars or bikes, listening to music, watching movies. I enjoy getting a coffee & having a good conversation. Hiking, swimming, Karting, happy hr, indoor rock climbing (just started)

So I saw a thread the other day commenting on re-doing Bugs Land and several people said they'd rip out the ladybugs and the bumper cars since they're redundant due to Maters and Luigi's Flying tires. While the bumper cars are easier to steer than the flying tires, Luigi's does have better theming, higher speeds, higher capacity, and a shorter height requirement.
My replacement for the bumper cars would be a frog-hopper type attraction similar to Woodstock's Air Mail at Knott's Berry Farm. Gypsy the butterfly and her sisters would fly you high up under the big top once Manny the praying mantis starts the cycle with his line,"Transformation, transformation, transformation!" (To help with this recreation the base of the ride could be a Chinese take-out box.) To alleviate capacity concerns, the ride tower would be 6-8 butterfly themed rows arranged in a hexagon/octagon. I just watched a video of Woodstock's Air Mail and thing I like is the fact that there's only one lap bar restraint for a row of 6-7 guests. The other thing I looked up is frog-hopper type attractions can have a height requirement as low as 36", which is the same as the bumper cars right now and 4" shorter than Jumpin' Jellyfish's/Tower of Terror/Radiator Springs Racers /Soarin' Over California 40" height requirement. The butterfly theming would also help with DCA's lack of "girl rides".
The ladybugs should stay but I'd make them a clone of the Teacups that you can spin and add more ladybugs to increase capacity. If they really wanted to splurge I'd extend the ride floor out to the replace the hose water spigot and make a themed bridge that passes directly over the ladybugs ride floor to connect Hollywood Land and Cars Land.

I thought this could be the main thread for trade help for fantasy football.
I've got a question for you all. I am loaded at QB - I ended the draft with Drew Brees, Marc Bulger, Jay Cutler, and Tony Romo - and now I have the first three QBs left. I'm trying to trade one of them for a running back but I wasn't sure if the trade was fair, whether I am giving too much or too little. Who out of Brees, Bulger, or Cutler would you trade for a RB like Shaun Alexander? Should I go for a better RB? Or do you think that is even a smart trade at all? Any input is appreciated.

He beat Robert Sirleaf, the son of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who took nearly 11%. Low turnout in the poll, which was first planned for October, was blamed on concerns about Ebola.

Learn how to implement and customize an interactive rotating carousel animation with jQuery and Adobe Dreamweaver. Author Chris Converse covers preparing the carousel images and captions, creating the carousel containers with HTML and CSS, and activating the carousel with JavaScript. The course also explains how to add images to the carousel container, set the caption based on the image in focus, and add animated transitions between captions.
Now in this movie, we want to add a few final touches to our project. First back in the carousel.html file, I want to get rid of some of that default text we got from Dreamweaver. So first, let's get rid of that default text for the carousel ID, and then let's get rid of the default text for the captions ID as well. Now when I get rid of all that content here, Dreamweaver will not display that particular div, but we can see down here that that div is still there, and we can set target it with our jQuery injections. Next, we are going to hide the carousel data, so let's come up to the CSS panel.
Let's double-click on the carousel_data class. Let's come down to the Block properties. Under Display, let's choose none, then click OK. That will make sure that all we see is the carousel item when we load the page. Let's choose File > Save. Let's switch over to carousel.js. Now inside of here, you will notice from the last movie that our captions aren't actually loading when the actual carousel first loads. So to fix that, let's come down and let's select showCaption function name. Let's copy that to the clipboard.
Let's scroll up and inside of the document ready, after we create the carousel, let's hit a return, and let's paste in the showCaption as well. So on document ready, when this loads will run the create carousel function and that will run the showCaption. And lastly, we want to add some functionality in so that we can actually start the carousel on a specific teapot. So let's come up to our JavaScript. Above the document ready, let's create a new variable. We will call this starting item, so var, starting item. That's going to equal, let's put the number 3 in there.
So what this means is it's going to look at all of the carousel_data, and the fourth item, starting from 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, is going to be item that starts off by default. So to get the carousel to pay attention to this variable, let's come down into the roundabout function, before childSelector let's add a line, starting child colon, and then we are going to come up here and copy the starting item variable. But now this variable is being declared globally within our script, so in order to access this, we need to type window, dot, and then paste starting item variable name, then a comma.
So now when the createCarousel function runs and we generate the roundabout, we can have it pay attention to the starting child and have it to be based on the starting item variable we created above. So to test this, let's choose File > Save All. Let me switch back to my web browser. Let's hit Reload. So now we can see the carousel is starting on the orange teapot, which is the fourth item or child number 3, if you start from 0. And again, I can click on the individual teapots and see the animations of the captions and get the same exact functionality by clicking the buttons as well.
So this concludes all the functionality for this particular project. In the next move, we will talk about some additional features of the roundabout plug-in and some functionality from other courses that you might want to add into this project as well.

Pellot Slow Start
By Lastings Milledge ,
I became quite fond of Pellot over the last year. He is only 21 years old and is a very raw player with a lot of developing left to do. I did expect him to get off to a better start this year though. I would keep an eye on not only his stolen bases, to see if he swipes as many bags as last year, and to see if his stolen base percentage improves. Last year he was just 66% (33/50) for Savannah, a very low percentage.

Boy, 10, accidentally sets car fire
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two cars were fire-damaged Saturday when a boy playing with matches started a fire inside one of the cars, officials said.
Corpus Christi police officers responded to a call in the 1400 block of Airline Road about 3:30 p.m. and found a 2008 Ford Mustang on fire in the parking lot for Sun Harvest and Jason's Deli, according to a news release.
The owner of the vehicle, a 28-year-old woman, told officers her 10-year-old son was playing with matches when he set the car on fire. The woman told police she was helping her six-year-old daughter out of the car at the time.
The small fire grew out of control and the passenger side of the Mustang was quickly engulfed with flames, police said.
The Corpus Christi Fire Department responded to the scene and put out the fire.
There were no injuries, but the vehicle next to the Mustang also was damaged by the fire. An estimate of the financial damage was not released.

Quimby's in Lambertville will expand its services soon to include a banquet hall with catering services.
Kristen Bates will operate the banquet hall and catering service.
Mrs. Bates, 32, of Temperance said the restaurant, which is owned by her husband, John, and his cousin Allan Bates, will be expanding into the former Light the Way Christian Bookstore.
"The hall will hold about 100 people," Mrs. Bates said. "We will be offering hors d'oeuvre, hot and hand-carved buffets with prime rib and roast beef."
The facility will offer a private bar, but will be adjacent to the current restaurant and bar.
"It has space for a DJ and its own restroom," the owner explained.
She hopes Bedford Township and nearby residents will use the space for small birthday parties and receptions.
The banquet facility is in the process of being renovated to allow for the transition.
"I hope to be open in a couple of months," she said, adding that parties are booked for November and December. "We will be ready to have holiday parties."
The price to rent the facility varies and will be charged per person for meals. Appetizers will be charged by the dozen.
Appetizers available at the facility includes shrimp cocktail, a domestic cheese and cracker plate, egg rolls, mini-Reuben sandwiches and chicken chunks. The hot meal options include roast pork, kielbasa, lasagna and chicken Parmesan. Buffet-style hot meals include a salad, a starch such as a potato and a vegetable along with rolls and beverages.
"We will incorporate a little bit of the restaurant's menu into the banquet hall as well," Mrs. Bates said.
Though she hasn't had previous experience in owning a banquet facility or as a caterer, Mrs. Bates said she is ready to tackle the challenge.
"I think we'll be really quick with the learning process," she said.
The decision to expand Quimby's into Quimby's Banquet Hall and Catering was easy.
"There really aren't a lot of hall options in Bedford," Mrs. Bates said. "We want a place for people to come and have their parties and holiday events."
For more information about the banquet facilities or to book an event, call Mrs. Bates at (419) 360-1797.

According to a Minnesota news station, the last ever returnable glass Coca-Cola bottle has rattled down a production line in the United States. The 6.5 ounce bottle, with its glassy curves, has always been a favorite for dedicated cola drinkers, but the end of this iconic packaging is sad news for another reason: it marks yet another brand that has done away with the bottle refund, an incentive for customers to recycle the bottles back to the original manufacturer, where they're sterilized, refilled, and resold.
Returnable glass bottles used to be common in the beverage industry. All of the early major soda manufacturers used them from Shwepps to Pepsi. The main reason was that the bottle had to be able to withstand the pressure of carbonation. Due to the intensive nature of the bottle manufacturing process (they were hand blown until the process became automated in 1903) the company retained them as property. When purchased, customers paid a few extra cents which was refunded when they returned the bottle to the manufacturer.
Although most soda makers didn't think of it this way back then, the returnable glass bottle prevented an enormous amount of waste from entering the landfill. Glass bottles were used over and over again, saving the manufacturers money and creating a loyal following of fans who loved to return them for the small reward.
The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Winona, the last in the country still making the returnable bottles of Coke, said that required upgrades to the production facility meant that filling and selling the bottles was no longer a sound business decision. The plant says it will remain open after the final glass bottle is produced, and none of its 14 employees will lose their job. They'll likely be switching to plastic bottles like the rest of the Coca-Cola plants in America.
This is unfortunate. Despite the best efforts of beverage corporations to reduce the impact of plastic bottles, they're still one of the most prolific types of waste and litter. Not to mention the resource intensive process of producing them, which consumes a vast amount of water and petroleum.
Bottle bills are a solution to this problem. Also known as container deposit laws, they are a proven, sustainable method of capturing beverage bottles and cans for recycling, but they've become obsolete in the face of aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Seven states reported a reduction of beverage container litter ranging from 70 to 83 percent, and a reduction in total litter ranging from 30 to 47 percent after implementation of the bottle bill. High recycling rates were also achieved.
Unfortunately, stiff opposition from members of the beverage and grocery industries means many states are reluctant to pass bottle bills. Still, today, ten states and eight Canadian provinces have a deposit law requiring refundable deposits on certain beverage containers. An increase in the use of glass bottles would provide greater incentive for companies to get behind these laws, which would ultimately save them money as well. But after 100+ years raking in profits from cheap plastic bottles, it's going to be an uphill battle.
Interested in getting a bottle bill passed in your state? BottleBill.org is a wonderful resource.

Thank you Beth, for Sharing this!

Kelly C - Thank you for the petition link. Found and signed.
Sad. The sodas tasted better in glass bottles.
As kids, we used to collect soda bottles and turn them in for the deposit. It helped our neighbors, cleaned up the neighborhood, kept us busy, & gave us a financial reward.
I've seen kitchen counters made of old bottles. My friend says she'd like one made of old Coke bottles because she likes the color. I'm holding out for Dom Perignon. :D
I suppose this means more plastic.
Connecticut is one of the ten mandatory container deposit laws. Merchants hate the law because it costs them money to handle the returned containers. The state finally decided to confiscate the deposits on any containers not returned and redeemed within six months. Some merchants scoff the law and refuse to redeem containers. Some are grumpy and grudging about it. Some seem to have decided that being gracious about redeeming bottles might be good public relations and might even increase sales some. I sort of wish the state would go to a tax and bounty system and contract with the state's carters (who get the redeemed containers from the merchants who redeem them to the recyclers who actually melt them down to make new containers) to take care of redeeming the containers leaving the merchants out of the redemption hassle.
