Insect bites and stings can cause an immediate skin reaction. The bite from fire ants and the sting from bees, wasps, and hornets are usually painful. Bites caused by mosquitoes, fleas, and mites are more likely to cause itching than pain.
Insect and spider bites cause more deaths from venom reactions than bites from snakes.
In most cases, bites and stings can be easily treated at home.
Some people have extreme reactions that require immediate medical treatment to prevent death.
Certain spider bites, such as the black widow or brown recluse, can be serious and life-threatening. Most spider bites, however, are harmless. If bitten by an insect or spider, bring it for identification if this can be done quickly and safely.
Symptoms depend on the type of bite or sting. They may include:
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Itching
- Burning
- Numbness
- Tingling
Some people have severe, life-threatening reactions to bee stings or insect bites. This is called anaphylactic shock. This condition can occur very quickly and lead to rapid death if not treated quickly.
Symptoms of anaphylaxis can occur quickly and affect the whole body. They include:
- Chest pain
- Face or mouth swelling
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty breathing
First Aid
For severe reactions:
- Check the person's airways and breathing. If necessary, call 911 and begin rescue breathing and CPR.
- Reassure the person. Try to keep him or her calm.
- Remove nearby rings and constricting items because the affected area may swell.
- Use the person's EpiPen or other emergency kit, if they have one. (Some people who have serious insect reactions carry it with them.)
- If appropriate, treat the person for signs of shock. Remain with the person until medical help arrives.
General steps for most bites and stings:
Remove the stinger by scraping the back of a credit card or other straight-edged object across the stinger. Do not use tweezers -- these may squeeze the venom sac and increase the amount of venom released.
- Wash the site thoroughly with soap and water.
- Place ice (wrapped in a washcloth) on the site of the sting for 10 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process.
- If necessary, take an antihistamine, or apply creams that reduce itching.
- Over the next several days, watch for signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain).
- Do NOT apply a tourniquet.
- Do NOT give the person stimulants, aspirin, or other pain medication unless prescribed by the doctor.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call 911 of your local emergency number if someone with a sting has the following symptoms:
- Trouble breathing, wheezing, shortness of breath
- Swelling anywhere on the face or in the mouth
- Throat tightness or difficulty swallowing
- Feeling weak
- Turning blue
If you had a severe, body-wide reactions to a bee sting, your doctor should send you to an allergist for skin testing and therapy. You should receive an emergency kit to carry with you wherever you go.
- Avoid rapid, jerky movements around insect hives or nests.
- Avoid perfumes and floral-patterned or dark clothing.
- Use appropriate insect repellants and protective clothing.
- Use caution when eating outdoors, especially with sweetened beverages or in areas around garbage cans, which often attract bees.
- If have severe allergies to insect bites or stings, you should have an emergency kit and EpiPen. Make sure your friends and family know how to use it if you have a reaction.

Is it correct to use a comma after as such? For example:-
and as such, it is not possible to verify the claim.
Is it correct to use a comma after as such? For example:-
In this case, yes. It sets off the last part of the sentence. Comma rules can be complicated, but I think this one comes under "Use a comma to set off parenthetical elements, as in "The Founders Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River, is falling down." By "parenthetical element," we mean a part of a sentence that can be removed without changing the essential meaning of that sentence."
"The Red Sox were leading the league at the end of May, but of course, they always do well in the spring."
… but it is probably the usual mis-use of the expression "as such". (If it is such a mis-use, it should instead be "since it is" or "thus".)
Ignoring that… I endorse putting commas before and after "as such", to set it apart.

Disney's (NYSE:DIS) Marvel Studios has officially confirmed what has been rumored for a while: the first film from the studio in 2016 will be "Captain America 3." This has been a major source of discussion in recent months because the date slated for the previously unannounced film was also occupied by the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" project from Time Warner's (NYSE:TWX) Warner Bros. studio.
In what boils down to a game of cinematic chicken, the studios behind the two superhero films seemed committed to holding that date in hopes that the other would shift. Given that Captain America: The Winter Soldier has already set box-office records and garnered nearly universal acclaim in its first weekend in the U.S. (and its first week worldwide), is Cap ready to take on Superman and Batman?
Superhero showdown
When "Batman vs. Superman" was delayed 10 months by Warner Bros., the film was moved from a mid-2015 release to the summer-opening date of May 6, 2016. At the time, the slot was held by an unannounced Marvel Studios film that was alternately rumored to be "Captain America 3," "Thor 3," and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2." Though some saw the shift as a sign of weakness for the film, delaying it made sense; not only did it get the superhero team-up away from the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron, it also allowed Warner Bros. to challenge Marvel head on with a film containing some of its biggest draws.
While Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had stated publically that the studio had no intentions of shifting its unannounced film, going head-to-head with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman was potentially a bigger risk than making a movie that co-starred a talking raccoon and a tree. Winter Soldier opened with $96.2 million in the U.S. box office alone, however, on top of the $303 million that it has grossed internationally in the 10 days since its release. This not only broke the April box office record in the U.S., but also brought in over twice the film's production budget and over half of Man of Steel's worldwide gross of $668 million.
A follow-up to a film that's turning out this popular seems like the perfect movie to go up against Warner's heavy hitters.
Betting on super-soldier success
To further improve the chances of "Captain America 3" against "Batman vs. Superman," Marvel Studios announced that the creative team behind the new film would be the same people who brought Captain America: The Winter Soldier to life. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo are attached to the new film, which is being written by First Avenger and Winter Soldier screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Given the positive reactions to Winter Soldier, it's likely that fans will embrace the return of the directors and writers of the film.
Though no casting or plot details have been confirmed, it's likely that the film will draw inspiration from other popular comic storylines as Winter Soldier did as well. The most commonly cited storyline among fans is the "Death of Captain America" arc that ran in 2007 and 2008, in which the Winter Soldier character played a prominent part. While that story played out in the aftermath of Marvel's "Civil War" event, it could theoretically be adapted to follow up the events of Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron as well.
A post-Cap bump?
In addition to making "Captain America 3" a potentially worthy competitor to "Batman vs. Superman," the runaway success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier could benefit Marvel Studios in other ways as well. With it looking very likely that the film will be the studio's next billion-dollar hit, it could provide a "bump" to the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy in a similar way to how the studio's massively successful The Avengers improved the popularity of the films released in its wake.
Marvel's The Avengers earned $1.5 billion worldwide during its theatrical run, becoming the no. 3 top-grossing movie of all time (when you don't account for inflation). Its massive success went a long way toward familiarizing audiences with its heroes, and each Marvel Studios film since then has seen significant improvements in its box office results compared to previous films in the same franchise. Iron Man 3 earned $1.2 billion in the global box office, and Thor: The Dark World earned $664.7 million (compared to the first film's $449.3 million). With The Winter Soldier's success and possible billion-dollar box office, it should go a long way toward reminding audiences of the quality of Marvel films heading into the release of an untested and relatively unknown property such as Guardians.
Which hero will reign supreme?
It remains to be seen what will happen on May 6, 2016, and there's still a lot of time for scheduling changes between now and then. If the two films go head-to-head, both will likely perform well though it's doubtful that either will do as well as if the films were separated. Still, the competition isn't nearly as one-sided as it might have appeared prior to the release of The Winter Soldier.
If one of the films does get moved, though, expect it to be "Batman vs. Superman." The Winter Soldier has renewed confidence in Marvel's property, and that confidence will go a long way toward making "Captain America 3" a major draw provided that the studio doesn't show any weakness. "Batman vs. Superman," on the other hand, has already had its share of critics and may not be up to the challenge of facing off against Cap.
Are you ready to profit from this $14.4 trillion revolution?
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry.

Happy Friday, math freaks.
March 14 is Pi Day – an international celebration of π – you know, that number that you learned in algebra class that is roughly equal to 3.14159.
An non-repeating, non-terminating number, Pi just goes on and on and on.
Fortunately over the centuries Pi has proved useful, so it's made sense to calculate its value to over one trillion decimal places.
Pi in history
Since at least ancient Babylon, mathematicians have been working to calculate the true value of Pi.
Historians claim that by measuring extant structures from the ancient world, once ratios are studied, there's no question that the architects and builders knew a fair bit about the proportions of circles.
Certainly the ancient Egyptians did, as the pyramids at Giza incorporate some of the proportions of circles.
When you think about, it makes perfect sense.
By using known proportions, you know how many enormous stone blocks to have your slaves quarry and move.
The Greek letter 'π' has been used to represent the value of Pi since 1706, when William Jones chose it to stand for 'p,' the perimeter of circles.
'π' came into popular use in 1737, when it was adopted by Leonhard Euler, a more prominent Swiss mathematician.
Why Pi are round
Pi, it turns out, is very handy for telling us important things about circles and circular objects, like area and volume.
Over the course of human history, having measured many, many circles, man has discovered that the circumference of a circle is a little bit more than three times its diameter, about 22/7 (3.14) circumference to diameter.
This has proven true of all circles, not just ones we've measured.
A source of constant amazement
Because the ratio of circumference to diameter is always 3.14, Pi is what's known in science and mathematics as a 'constant.'
So when you see 'π' in mathematical formulas, it always equals 3.14.
The volume of pies
As it turns out, we need only 39 of Pi's post-decimal digits (of the over a trillion that we know about) to calculate the spherical volume of the universe.
When a measurement is accurate to that degree, you can find even more practical uses for it.
For instance, because it is true that the circumference of a circle is 2πr, where 'r' is the radius (half the diameter) of a circle, you know exactly how many bricks it will take to build a ring around your goldfish pond.
Need to know how many square feet your pond covers?
Use Pi to calculate the area of your brick circle: A(rea) = π r2 = square footage of the surface of my goldfish pond.
Okay, so how much water will it take to fill my fish pond?
Assuming that the pond is half a sphere, half of 4/3 π r3 (volume of a sphere) will tell you how many gallons of water you need to fill the pond.
Pi is handy like that, whether you're calculating the surface area of a doughnut or trying to figure how much wood it takes to make a pencil [V(olume) = π r2 h].

Keith Yandell's Philosophy of Religion: a Contemporary Introduction was one of the first textbooks to explore the philosophy of religion with reference to religions other than Christianity. A decade later, this fully revised and updated edition deals lucidly with representative views from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Jainism, as well as addressing topical debates and issues such as as intelligent design. Exploring the nature of religion and philosophy, and introducing key thinkers in the history of the field, Yandell guides students through the varieties of religion and of religious experience, the relationships between faith and reason and religion and science, and examines fundamental problems religion seeks to address, such as the nature of ultimate reality and the problem of evil. This diverse and comprehensive approach makes this rich and stimulating reading for students of philosophy of religion at undergraduate level. features include: suggestions for further reading discussion questions a glossary of philosophical terms list of key figures in the philosophy of religion

How do I detect/manage users who are connected to my laptop's ad-hoc network?
I have a Windows 7 laptop with a wired network connection. I've set up an ad-hoc network following these instructions. I've successfully connected my mobile devices but, to do so, I had to set the encryption to WEP (instead of WPA). Of course, WEP is very, very easy to crack and I am in a hotel so I want to be able to monitor, at least, the number users connected to my laptop's ad-hoc WiFi network.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to view the full list of connected users and boot those who don't belong. Better yet, I'd like to be able to limit the number of connections. Better still, I'd like to limit those connections to particular MAC addresses.
Is any of this possible?

Gateway Community College graduates Fred Rosen and Scott Sivek saw an ad for an international contest with a challenge: design low-cost, portable clinical equipment that could be used in medical settings in Third World countries. They didn't end up entering the contest but the challenge inspired them. How could they create a piece of medical equipment that could serve some of the world's poorest people, people who might not have access to the latest medical equipment?
Rosen and Sivek got to work and designed and constructed a three-color LED spectrophotometer for their capstone project for Biomedical Engineering Technology program. They ended up winning the top senior design project presentation at GCC's 2012 Biomedical Symposium and they were also recognized for their work at the annual meeting of the New England Society of Clinical Engineers (NESCE) this summer at the Marco Polo restaurant in East Hartford.
"It's very exciting to be able to take something that exists and have students create their own version, one that could help people because it is so portable," said Thomas McGrath, professor and Program Coordinator of Biomedical Engineering Technology. "It was a very impressive project."
The three-color LED spectrophotometer is used in the medical field to analyze chemical samples for their content and concentration. Typically, McGrath said, the devices require high quality light sources, mirrors and refractors and a power supply. The two GCC students devised one that can operate on a 9- volt battery, an automobile battery or a solar-powered source. McGrath said both Rosen and Sivek graduated this past spring and are now working in the medical field. McGrath said other projects GCC students presented at the symposium included an electric stethoscope and a transcutaneous electroneural stimulator (TENS). The students also create a user manual and a repair manual and their final presentation has to include an audiovisual component and a display.
The Biomedical Engineering Technology major at GCC is the only one of its kind in New England, McGrath said, and students who graduate are poised to enter a job market where their skills are greatly needed and they are highly marketable. In their senior year, students work on the capstone project and they also do their practicum in a hospital setting. McGrath said choosing to be a biomedical engineering student is "a mature decision" because students have to be interested in electronics and work in a medical setting.
Every hospital, HMO and doctor's office has medical equipment which needs to be calibrated and repaired and students in the program are trained to do that, McGrath said. "It's rewarding to do something that you know will help someone else," he said. "That is what our students have the chance to do."

Kaiser Optometrists
My health insurance is through Kaiser and am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an optometrist that I can go to at any of the nearby Kaiser locations (Oakland, Richmond, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton). thanks! Nichole
On my second visit the examiner found a potential vascular problem on one retina and after consultation with the supervising optometrist I received an appointment with a Kaiser opthalmologist within one week! Luckily it turned out to be nothing of concern. For mycopayment I feel that I received the same level of care that I would have gotten from the ''Doc-in-a-box'' at Costco for 4 times the price who I used to see (and liked. He is a graduate of the UCB program as well. Check them out. A little lagniappe, parking is free. matheny

Cranberry Cheesecake Bars RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1 can (14 ounces) fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- 4 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, oats, brown sugar and butter; mix until crumbly. Press 2-1/2 cups of the crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the milk, egg whites, vanilla and remaining flour. Spoon over prepared crust. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and cornstarch. Spoon over cream cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack before cutting. Yield: 3 dozen.
Reviews for Cranberry Cheesecake Bars
"Question: Do these bars with condensed milk, cream cheese and eggs need to be refrigated after being baked? Also can they be frozen successfully?"
"The cranberry is very subtle, but these are wonderful. Dangerous to have around. Thank you for a recipe I will make over and over again. Based on another review, I didn't use all of the left over crumbs for topping. Try them, these are good!!"
"These bars were very good. A nice dessert for Thanksgiving. Makes a nice light treat after all that filling food.Also made and took to work, everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe."
"i have made many time i really enjoy this bars"
"I made these last night to take to a Super Bowl party. The recipe really makes a big batch! I think the reason other reviewers are finding them "bland", "ok", or not as tart as expected, is because there is too much of the crumb mixture. Next time I will reduce it by about 1 cup. It would also be good to add another full or half can of cranberries. But overall, tasty. And I was asked for the recipe!"

New signings impressing O'Shea
by Kate Smith
O'Shea on new signings, pre-season and competition for places.
An optimistic John O'Shea has delivered his verdict on Sunderland's pre-season so far, proposing that the season ahead will see players competing for places and climbing up the Barclays Premier League.
Paolo Di Canio has bolstered his squad with eight new signings, strengthening every area of the side, ahead of the 2013-14 campaign.
O'Shea told safc.com: "The new players are getting on fantastically well. They all seem to be good lads and they've taken to the atmosphere amongst us.
"Some of the training sessions have been a bit of an eye opener for them, in terms of the intensity that's demanded so early on but I think they realise they're going to benefit from it."
The new arrivals have impressed O'Shea and he is looking forward to seeing the impact they have on the team.
"The quality of players that the manager has brought in is pleasing. Giaccherini has not been here long, but already you can see from his first touch he's got that bit of class – it's very pleasing on the eye.
"His link up play with the strikers looks good and if we can get him fully fit and get Jozy Altidore banging in goals, alongside Sess, who's looking fantastic, it's going to be exciting."
O'Shea added: "We've got a lot more attacking options than we've had before, the new players, Fletcher when he comes back, Wickham and Ji, who's come back from Germany looking a lot sharper.
"There's going to be a lot of competition for places, which can only be a good thing and should see us push our way up the table."

A recent article called "Coercion vs. Freedom: Making decisions down at the Y" warned libertarians to resist those who offer people one of two choices because they're not "giving" two choices; they're taking away all other choices.
J. Matt Barber who writes a blog called Godfather Politics is one of those people who wants to restrict everyone's choices to his own duopolistic worldview: libertine libertarianism vs. coercive conservatism.
His definition of libertine libertarianism is based on people he saw at CPAC 2014, those who virtually all actual libertarians would describe as "libertarian-leaning," "Republican-libertarians" or "the libertarian wing of the Republican party."
Barber makes it clear that the thrust of his discontent isn't political but "The battle is moral vs. immoral. The battle is truth vs. the lie. The battle is between good and evil" and his examples are those libertine libertarians who say "I'm a 'pro-choice,' 'pro-gay' conservative," or, "Yeah, I'm shacking up with my girlfriend, big deal."
Thus his constricted choices: Either one embraces libertine libertarianism and its "welcome to chaos" else one recognizes that "Liberty without justice is only license" and "justice is defined by Him."
But real libertarians are no more or less libertine than any other category of people. Under their Zero Aggression Principle libertarians seek only to abolish coercion, intimidation and fraud so that everyone, including Barber, can live their lives on their own terms without fearing others imposing their will on them.
And that absolutely is about politics since both Republicans and Democrats believe in using the gun of criminal government to force their will on everyone else.
When everyone is free from coercion it's a matter of individual decision whether someone is pro-choice or not, pro-gay or not, shacking up with his girlfriend or boyfriend or not, and believes whether justice is defined by Him or not.
What Barber clearly doesn't get is what libertarianism really means. He doesn't seem to comprehend that many true libertarians will agree completely with his views even as many others will not.
That's because libertarians understand that a right, to be a right, must apply to everyone equally or it isn't a right, it's just another coercive entitlement.
So while Barber sees the US as "drowning in a turgid river of postmodern relativism" caused by these "libertine libertarians" he fails to get that real libertarians are actually on his side.
What real libertarians seek is Post-Statist Voluntaryism.

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge will likely decide in the next two weeks whether cuts to the state's Medicaid program are illegal and health coverage should be restored to low-income Arizonans already frozen out.
Much of a 90-minute Wednesday hearing before Judge Mark Brain rehashed legal points made over the past several weeks since three public interest law firms filed suit to stop cuts to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System.
Brain already denied a temporary restraining order to prevent an enrollment freeze in the AHCCCS program for childless adults, which is expected to eliminate 17,000 people from the rolls in the first month and 110,000 people by next July. The enrollment cap took effect July 8.
Attorneys for eight Arizonans, four of them denied AHCCCS coverage since the freeze and four at risk of losing it, argue that a 2000 voter-approved law expanding AHCCCS to everyone below the poverty level should have prevented Gov. Jan Brewer and state legislators from cutting AHCCCS. They reduced the AHCCCS budget by more than $500 million to help balance the budget and, among other changes, directed the agency to freeze enrollment for childless adults and some parents for savings of $207 million.
"It's not the Legislature's decision to not comply with the law," attorney Tim Hogan of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest said after the hearing. "The people have legislative power and they exercised it. That's exactly why they passed the initiative. To do the job the Legislature wouldn't do."
Hogan said he believes the law is further protected by the state Constitution, which voters amended in 1998 to prevent legislative meddling with ballot measures.
Attorneys for AHCCCS and Brewer said halting the cuts would infringe on the Legislature's budget authority by requiring lawmakers to provide more AHCCCS funding. And they say language in the ballot measure about "available" funding gives them leeway in tough budget times to cut or even eliminate the program.

My issue is a bit hard to explain in this question's title, so hopefully I can make clear what my problem is about in this text.
I'm dealing with partially supervised text classification. I have a set of positive documents and a set of unlabeled documents (which contains both positive and negative documents). My goal is to identify documents in this unlabeled set which are most probably negative documents. As soon as I've identified them, I use those and the positive set to classify the rest of the unlabeled documents.
In order to identify the set of reliable negative documents, I use a special version of the Rocchio classification algorithm which is explained in this paper:
Xiao-Li Li, Bing Liu, See-Kiong Ng (2010) Negative Training Data can be Harmful to Text Classification. In: Proceedings of the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP-2010).
In the upper left corner of page 6 (figure 4), there is pseudocode explaining the algorithm. Below, are the two relevant lines that my question is about. $$ \begin{aligned} 3.~~~~~p &= \alpha\frac{1}{|P|}\sum_{d_j\in P}\frac{d_j}{||d_j||}-\beta\frac{1}{|PN|}\sum_{d_i\in PN}\frac{d_i}{||d_i||} ; \\ 4.~~~~~n &= \alpha\frac{1}{|PN|}\sum_{d_i\in PN}\frac{d_i}{||d_i||}-\beta\frac{1}{|P|}\sum_{d_j\in P}\frac{d_j}{||d_j||} ; \end{aligned} $$ At this stage of the algorithm, I have a set P of positive documents and a set PN of potential negative documents which were identified in a previous step. Each document in these two sets is represented as a vector (in bold letters) of TF-IDF values of the word vocabulary from the respective set. In the first line of the code above, I subtract the PN-vector from the P-vector. In the second line, I do it vice versa. The goal is to create a positive prototype vector p and and a negative prototype vector n.
My question is the following:
Which vocabulary do I have to take into account for each of these two subtractions? Do I have to create all feature vectors from the entire vocabulary of both the positive and the potential negative set? Or do I have to use only the vocabulary from the positive set in the first line and the vocabulary from the potential negative set in the second line? Or anything completely different from that? Unfortunately, this isn't explained anywhere.

PROSSER, Wash. (AP) — Prosser High School Principal Kevin Lusk was suspended seven days without pay for his role in a probation violation by his wife, Linda, a convicted sex offender.
The Superintendent, Ray Tolcacher, suspended Lusk until Thursday for not making sure his wife filled out paperwork required before they attended a daughter's high school swim meet in Ellensburg.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports (http://is.gd/thgpiG) Kevin Lusk had been on paid leave since Jan. 19 for the investigation.
Linda Lusk is a former Prosser mayor who was arrested in November for attending the swim meet in violation of her probation. In July she was sentenced to three months in jail for inappropriately touching a 14-year-old boy in April 2010. As part of her probation, she is prohibited from attending school events without a chaperone.

Early Tuesday (6 a.m. CST) Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL Festival) announced the 2014 lineup for the 13th edition of the fest named for the iconic PBS television show. Last year the festival changed formats, moving to consecutive weekends a la Coachella Festival. Marquee names on the just released bill include Eminem, Outkast, Pearl Jam, Beck, Skrillex and Lorde. Below you will find our top five headliners and details about the artists.
A new feature of the lineup is the EDM-heavy listing of artists. We chose to stick to more traditional ACL Festival genres in our preview. A follow-up story on local acts appearing at the festival will cover acts that fall into the electronic/hip hop arena.
C3 Presents the company that produces ACL Festival and Lollapalooza put three-day tickets on sale yesterday as well. There are options to purchase two levels of upgraded passes, VIP and Platinum. Only pricey Platinum tickets will allow fans on the main stage viewing areas. The festival will take place October 3-5 and 10-12. At the time of this article's publishing tickets for both weekends remained available.
Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam has performed on the main stage at ACL Festival once before during the dillo dirt plagued 2009 show. The band who helped usher in the grunge music era in the early 1990s easily stands out as one of the best headliners ever to play the festival. By that we mean PJ turned in a stellar Sunday evening set and the putrid smell from the reclaimed sewage that pushed up from the soggy, freshly-laid sod was forgotten temporarily while Eddie Vedder and company roared through a hit-filled set list.
Expect to hear songs from the band's 2013 release, "Lightning Bolt." A glance at set lists from recent performances by Pearl Jam indicate there will be plenty of crowd-pleasing songs like "Jeremy," "Even Flow," and "Animal."
A repeat of Neil Young cover, "Rockin in the Free World" would be a welcome encore at their ACL Festival appearance. Last show the band played the song with guest Win Butler of Arcade Fire. Regardless of who guests, Pearl Jam will be impressive.
Beck, the artist who became a household name on the strength of his ode to hipsters (before the term was popular) "Loser" has a much more diverse catalog of songs than what folks heard back in the mid-90s when tracks from albums "Mellow Gold" and "Odelay" dominated the alternative radio airwaves. Current release, "Morning Phase" is a perfect example of that.
The new material is ironically mellower than "Mellow Gold" and features backing singers and over-dubs on Beck's vocals. It will be interesting to see how the lush new songs translate to the festival stage. Expect a smattering of hits in the set list and possibly a cover song or two from an artist known for exceptional live performances.
The Replacements
It is a given that The Replacements reunion tour (the band has not toured in 22 years until last year) will draw a particular subset of ACL Festival goers. After all, the beloved indie-garage rockers from Minneapolis were popular over two decades ago. Therefore, expect the crowd to be predominately 40-somethings if you attend either ACL Festival performance.
At Coachella Festival last week, lead singer and guitarist Paul Westerberg had back issues so an upright Billie Jo Armstrong (Green Day) filled in as guest vocalist while the ailing Westerberg played the guitar parts from a sofa. Hopefully by the time October rolls around The Replacements leader will be feeling better although we would not complain about a guest appearance by Eddie Vedder with this legendary act.
Many Replacement fans are hoping an official after show will be announced soon. We think that is an excellent idea and Examiner will be on hand covering if that wish comes true.
Belle and Sebastian
The last time Belle and Sebastian visited Austin the indie-popsters from Scotland delivered a smashing set to a sold-out ACL Live at the Moody Theater crowd. Lead vocalist Stuart Murdoch is a captivating front man and the band plays their material beautifully. The band is similar to The Replacements in that the band has a cult following but has not enjoyed mainstream success despite overwhelming critical acclaim.
For an act often compared to The Smiths, Belle and Sebastian play a surprisingly energetic set. Stuart Murdoch completely charmed his Austin audience by sharing the mic with audience members, encouraging crowd participation and humorously holding onto the hand of a fan for the better part of entire song.
If you are into great music and good fun put Belle and Sebastian on your ACL Fest schedule. We have them on ours for good reason.
Jimmy Cliff
Bob Marley may be the man music fans think of first when the subject of reggae comes up but Jimmy Cliff is the reigning king of the genre today. A Jamaica native like his more famous peer, Cliff is best known for his anti-war anthem, "Vietnam" and the title track to concert documentary, "The Harder They Come," both recorded in the 1970s.
Bob Dylan famously called "Vietnam" the best protest song he had ever heard. The truth is Cliff's body of work is less political and more positive messages. Simply put, Jimmy Cliff is love.
Cliff is currently playing the European summer festival circuit in support of his new record, "Rebirth." Watch an amazing live performance of his uplifting song, "You Can Get It If You Really Want." After that you will likely want to see more.

After trying their best to act normal by attending local karaoke nights and taking trips to the zoo, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have finally succumbed to the pressure and decided to accept that ugh, fine they are not an average couple. Unless your idea of average involves private dates in 20,000-seat venues, in which case, can we get your number? Drawing inspiration from one of the greatest love stories of all time, the Adam Sandler remake of Mr. Deeds, Bieber surprised Gomez with a private dinner inside the arena, followed by a private screening of Titanic. As our jealousy and depression subsides, here are our two immediate reactions: Adam Sandler's Mr. Deeds? Really? And, he couldn't spring for getting Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom to reenact the "King of the World!" scene? When it comes to the strange subject of Sandler as your own personal Cupid, we'd almost always go with the Billy Idol-assisted airplane serenade from The Wedding Singer. In coach, natch.
But don't think for a minute that The Bieb is getting cocky. He's only going on lavish dates like this a service to his fellow men. "romance isnt dead. treat your lady right fellas [sic]," he tweeted on Friday night. So basically in addition to making you feel inferior in regards to your own career, Bieber now can make you feel like a failure in romance, too. Keep up the good work!

MEDINA — The Holiday Lights Drive Thru at the Medina County Fairgrounds is back this year for the 11th season and includes some lights from a city resident's popular East Smith Road display.
New this year are a gingerbread village and a few moving-lights displays, said Barb Nixon, a volunteer who organizes the lights each year.
Nixon said Don Brandow, who died last summer following a battle with cancer, donated his lights and decorations to the Medina County Fair Board to use to enhance its growing light display.
"His wife gave us all his decorations and it was wonderful for them to think of us," Nixon said.
In a 2006 Gazette story, Brandow said it took him two weeks to cover his front yard in the 900 block of East Smith Road with 20,000 bulbs and inflatables.
The drive-through show, which organizers said is the biggest in the region with more than 80 displays, allows visitors to stay warm in their cars as they drive around the displays on the fairgrounds.
"We saw what Mansfield had, and ours is about as big," said Nixon, who was one of the three original volunteers who started the show.
Fair Board members volunteered to put the light show on, and all the proceeds benefit the Medina County Fair Board. Nixon said the proceeds go to maintenance and upkeep on the fair buildings.
In addition to community decoration donations, the board also sells sponsorships — businesses get their name in a program handed out to each car that visits, and get space to put up a holiday display along the course. Local 4-H groups and church groups also help decorate.
"Most of our displays are handmade," Nixon said. "They're painted or created and then covered with lights."
Fair board member Jim Martin helps to craft wire displays and add lights to them. Often, Nixon said, larger displays with broken lights can be donated to the fair board and repaired.
"He can actually fix those kinds of displays; get them working again," she said.
Anyone who would like to make a donation to the light display can call the fair board at (330) 723-9633.
WHAT: Holiday Lights Drive Thru
WHERE: Medina County Fairgrounds, 710 W. Smith Road, Medina. Entrance is at the Smith Road parking lot.

Box Score
SEATTLE -- The early-season scoring slump is officially a thing of the past as Washington romped to five goals in a 5-0 victory over Seattle U. on Friday under the lights at the Husky Soccer Stadium. The Dawgs got goals from five different players on the way to a convincing win.
"We finally broke through and got a couple good goals last weekend against Central Michigan," said head coach Lesle Gallimore. "All week we have been working on our attack and get players calm and composed with their finishing. I think you saw that tonight."
The finishing was indeed clinical, but so was the buildup, including a school-record tying four assists from Isabel Farrell. The Dawgs were also dangerous on set pieces, scoring on two corner kicks.
The opening goal was one of the corners as Farrell sent in an inswinger for her first assist. McKenzie Karas used her size to rise above the defense and bury a header for her first goal of her Husky career. The goal came in the 15th minute and put the momentum squarely in Washington's favor after Seattle U. had started well.
Four minutes later, Washington made it 2-0 on a brilliant strike from Allie Beahan. Lindsey Bos played a bouncing ball across the goal and Beahan got her knee over it for a drive into the upper corner. Seattle U. goalkeeper Brianna Smallidge had no chance on a perfectly placed shot from Beahan.
The Dawgs made it 3-0 in the 23rd minute with a goal from Becca Schoales. Farrell earned her second assist with a cross to Schoales who controlled the ball in the box and finished. Schoales has had the hot hand, scoring her third goal in the past two games.
Washington led 3-0 at the half, outshooting the Redhawks 7-4 in the period. Megan Kufeld made two saves, but Seattle U. did not have any particularly dangerous chances.
The Dawgs thoroughly dominated the second half, putting Seattle U. away with a goal in the 50th minute. Again, it was Farrell initiating the offense with a perfect through ball to Jaclyn Softli. Softli got behind the defense and chipped a shot into the upper corner for her second goal of the season.
Farrell and Softli would combine one more time, but this time Christina Archer would be on the finishing end. Farrell sent in another inswinging corner, which Softli flicked on and Archer one-timed for the fifth goal. Both Farrell and Softli were credited with assists, but it was Farrell's fourth that tied the school record.
Kufeld held the clean sheet with the help of Sarah Shimer who came on for the final 14 minutes.
The Dawgs would finish with a 16-6 edge in shots, including nine on goal. Just before full time, Schoales appeared to have a second goal finishing a rebound from a Falon Miller shot, but was called offsides.
The Dawgs improved to 3-4-0 on the season and will look to get back to .500 on Friday, Sept. 27, when they welcome Gonzaga to the Husky Soccer Stadium for a game to be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.
