Has anyone mentioned I heart media is declaring bankruptcy?

CES

 

Massive debt from a leveraged buyout in the 2000s by Bain Capital and a few partners, with an industry facing stiff competition from online sources and declining conventional revenue streams. It's basically the Toys R Us story, but with radio stations, and with creditors willing to negotiate.

They've found the wreck of USS Juneau, also

 

That one probably was not an avoidable loss, but the loss of most of the crew was abetted by confusion and command errors.  (See the book Neptune's Inferno for a more complete description of that than I'd read elsewhere.)  The five Sullivan brothers were on Juneau and were lost in that event.

Also, a spate of bombings in and around Austin, TX seems likely to be over after the suspect set off a bomb in his car after being pulled over rather than submit to probable arrest.

 

Reading one article, and having lived in Austin for a number of years, all I can say is: "Pflugerville".
