S.Africa: Funds raised to fight rhino poaching
JOHANNESBURG—A fundraising campaign aimed at putting rhino poachers in jail was welcomed Friday by South African conservationists.
Michael Knight, head of park planning and development for South Africa's national parks department, said money raised by the Florida-based International Rhino Federation would be used to support such efforts as teaching park employees how to safeguard evidence at crime scenes.
More South African rhinos were poached -- 341 -- in the first 10 months of 2011 than in all of 2010, which was a record poaching year with 333 animals lost. The International Rhino Federation project is for parks in South Africa and neighboring Zimbabwe, which also has seen increased poaching.
An Asian economic boom in recent years is believed to be behind the spike in poaching, with a growing middle class in countries like China and Vietnam able to afford exotic purported remedies like powdered rhino horn.
"We're losing animals like crazy," Knight, who also chairs the rhino specialist group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, said in an interview. "But the prosecutions are falling way behind."
Knight said police in isolated areas of South Africa are not always experienced in investigating environmental crime. He said rangers and others would be trained to support police and prosecutors.
In court, he said, "You need to have the most up-to-date information, you need to have the most convincing arguments."
Morne du Plessis, chief executive of the South African arm of the World Wildlife Fund, said his organization has for several months been involved in a similar project that includes training for prosecutors and judges and creating a team of expert witnesses. He welcomed help from the International Rhino Federation.
"It's work that's absolutely essential," du Plessis said. "In South Africa, we have a particularly poor record of conviction in rhino crime."
He said other, more straightforward crimes compete for the attention of police, prosecutors and judges. He also said law enforcement officials might feel sympathy for the often impoverished locals employed by international syndicates as poachers.
"These are very complex realities of a developing country like South Africa," du Plessis said.
The International Rhino Federation launched its fundraising this week. Donations will fund training in collecting evidence and information. The federation also plans to distribute basic crime scene kits containing cameras, fingerprinting materials and evidence bags.
In an interview, federation director Susie Ellis said that an anonymous donor kicked off the fund with $25,000. She said she spoke with South African security officials in March about how best to use the money.
"It's a small project that we hope will have a big impact," she said, adding the first training session is set for early February in South Africa.

*UPDATE: I am sorry to say Eddies is now closed* Eddies is a new sandwich joint in the Merriman Valley. We decided to try it, but TBG got carry out and brought it home. The menu isn't large offering varieties on the classic cheesesteak and a few salads and sides. We got the full original cheesesteak and the full Gotcha. The full is 1lb of meat on a foot long bun. I split the original with my mom and we both loved it. The size was perfect for the two of us, which is probably why they also offer a half sized sandwich. The sandwich was juicy, and the bun was not soggy even after being brought home. The Gotcha is the original with banana pepppers and jalapenos. TBG liked it as well. He ate the entire full, but that is normal for him. We also got a side of the fresh cut fries. They were ok, I like my fries crispy and these were more soggy, but they were fresh cut. When you walk in there is also a "fry bar" with a selection of salts and different vinegars. The atmosphere is more like a fast food resturant, but it is a sandwich place after all. The service seemed ok since our order did not take an overly long time but it was relatively small too. The value was pretty good because it comes with a lot of quality food. I will definately be going back when I get the hankering for a good cheesesteak.

Blizzard's dark sequel has been out since May of 2012 and over the many months we've seen a lot of updates and changes. Now is the time for a Diablo 3 expansion to continue the story and add some much needed features.
People actually cared about D3's story?
Honestly, besides Diablo's "you'll never defeat me!" ramblings in Act IV, it was a decent story. They can do much better but it wasn't bad.
It was generic and forgettable for me. In terms of the standards we set for games it wasn't bad, but that's really not saying all that much.

What a bargain! Advertisement Ford acquired battery, radio and television pioneer Philco in 1961 in order to have an in-house supplier of car radios and other electronic devices. Philco already had pretty advanced portable TV sets available at the time, so it was no surprise that four years later, Ford introduced a new one that was so small they could hang it by a bracket behind the front seats.This all-transistor nine-inch television had a 12 volt DC cord that could be plugged into the cigarette lighter or a portable battery pack, but also came with a 110 volt AC cord for home use. Philco became Ford-Philco in 1966 only to get sold to GTE in 1974 while Ford kept the aerospace portion of the company. Today, the brand is owned by Philips.Reply36 repliesLeave a reply

No Paparazzi, No Tourists; or Tourist & Explorer Invasion
Door Shimrod
These mods all use the NPC Roles XML, only one of these can be used at a time.
No Paparazzi prevents the creation of papaz, they will not be in your game at all. However, in a current save game which already has some, the current 2 or 3 must be removed, killed in some fashion; no new ones will appear.
No Tourists in Homeworlds prevents the tourists from appearing in your Home Neighborhood, you can still see tourists when you are traveling in France though.
No Tourists No Papaz is both of the above combined in one mod.
Tourist Explorer Invasion increases the number of tourists and explorers. Tourists can be from 6-10, explorers can be from 5 to 6. Tourists are also placed in Caw worlds (your homeworld), and in Egypt and China. Time is also lengthened for tourists, they appear early in the morning and can hang out in the hood until 10-11pm.
Tourist Explorer Invasion No Papaz is the above with the no papaz added in.
These are checked and tested and are fine with the 1.22.

UPDATE: The Netherlands-based cooperative of KPMG is not the parent of the U.S. partnership, as was noted in an earlier version of this story.
There are 130 foreign companies that sponsor political action committees through their U.S.-based subsidiaries, and together, they've donated more than $12.6 million to politics this election cycle, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows. This number is higher than any other federal midterm election cycle, and second only to the 2008 presidential election cycle, when foreign-connected companies doled out nearly $16.9 million.
Until the 2006 election cycle, federal-level, foreign-connected PACs greatly favored Republicans. But since then, they have been aggressively bipartisan. For example, in most cases, a large donation to Republican party committee or candidate is balanced by one of equal size to Democratic counterparts.
The top companies include British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, Belgian beverage producer Anheuser-Busch InBev, United Kingdom defense, aerospace and security company BAE Systems. The PACs of these companies' U.S.-based subsidiaries have each spent more than $500,000 (and counting) during the 2010 election cycle.
Below is a table of the top 11 totals for donations by foreign companies with U.S. subsidiaries this cycle:
PAC Name (Affiliate) | Country of Origin/Parent Company | Total | Dems | Repubs |
Anheuser-Busch | Belgium/Anheuser-Busch InBev | $664,400 | $396,900 | $266,500 |
BAE Systems (BAE Systems) | UK/BAE Systems | $592,300 | $327,400 | $264,400 |
GlaxoSmithKline | UK/GlaxoSmithKline | $525,500 | $266,000 | $253,500 |
AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals (AstraZeneca PLC) | England/AstraZeneca PLC | $486,000 | $253,000 | $226,000 |
Credit Suisse Securities | Switzerland/Credit Suisse Group | $425,000 | $214,500 | $210,500 |
Experian | UK/Experian plc | $385,227 | $118,500 | $266,727 |
Bayer Corp | Germany/Bayer AG | $341,500 | $148,500 | $188,000 |
DRS Technologies | Italy/Finmeccanica SpA | $326,800 | $153,000 | $172,800 |
Rolls-Royce North America | UK/Rolls-Royce PLC | $317,500 | $158,000 | $155,500 |
T-Mobile USA | Germany/Deutsche Telekom AG | $310,650 | $177,400 | $133,250 |
(To see a full list, as well as check up on what company is giving to whom, check out the Center for Responsive Politics' frequently updated foreign-connected PACs page.)
Donations are about as diverse as they come, going to Reps. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and John Boehner (R-Ohio) as well as Sens. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Federal Election Commission rules state that as long as the American subsidy has enough money in its own account (not including money loaned from the foreign parent) to provide such donations, there is no issue in giving. Foreign-connected PACs, by law, may not use foreign funds to fuel their political efforts. The PACs must raise money from U.S. citizens or green card holders.
Democrats — including President Barack Obama– have made foreign money in U.S. politics a major campaign issue, most notably accusing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce of fueling its political efforts with money from anonymous foreign donors.
The Chamber, which is a non-profit 501(c)6 group, can collect donations without releasing its donors. But the New York Times has reported the amount is likely in the six-figure range, although the exact amount is unknown. The numbers given by the Times come from payments from the American Chambers of Commerce overseas, in addition to dues paid by foreign companies, the Annenberg Public Policy Center reported.

Survival test for 49ers
LONG BEACH It wasn't pretty, but Long Beach State got it done — barely.
Mike Caffey's two free throws with 7.4 seconds remaining gave the 49ers a 57-55 victory over UC Santa Barbara in a Big West game Wednesday evening at Walter Pyramid in front of 3,954 and an ESPNews audience.
Kyle Boswell's 3-point attempt at the buzzer fell short, and Long Beach State escaped.
James Ennis scored 16 points and Tony Freeland scored a season-high 16 points to lead Long Beach.
The 49ers (12-8, 8-1) have won seven consecutive games and remain in first place, 1 1/2 games ahead of Pacific, which was idle.
The 49ers also notched their 22nd consecutive home conference triumph. They've not lost a home conference game since February 2010 and have won 38 of their past 42 conference games. The Gauchos (7-13, 3-6) have lost three in a row and 5 of 7.
Freeland made 7 of 12 shots and had nine rebounds. Ennis made 4 of 7 shots and 6 of 8 free throws.
"A positive that comes out this game is that we played through tough times," Freeland said.
This was a game that neither team was able to take control. Both shot less than under 40 percent and combined for a total of 37 turnovers.
"I was getting a nightmare," Long Beach coach Dan Monson said. "This was one of those games we came out focused but we were 1 for 13.
"We were out of sync and never got into a flow. This was a character win.
"A month ago this team would not have won this game. Defensively, we held our own right down to the last play. It's a lot better to play bad and win then play bad and lose."
Long Beach committed several turnovers and took ill-advised shots in the final two minutes but survived. Michael Bryson's 3-pointer with 23.9 seconds left tied the score, 55-55. Seconds later, Caffey (10 points) took the inbound pass and was fouled near midcourt.
In the second half the 49ers built a 39-32 lead after Dan Jennings made one of two free throws. But Long Beach State went more than six minutes without scoring.
However, once again the Gauchos were slow to take advantage but eventually tied the score, 40-40, on a 3-pointer by Taran Brown with 7:35 to play.
After 12 minutes in the first half Long Beach had made just two baskets, committed a number of turnovers and was totally out of sync. However, Santa Barbara wasn't much better and failed to take advantage of the sluggish 49ers and only maintained an 18-10 lead.

It will be a long time before the words "MPs" and "expenses" can occur in the same sentence without provoking either fury or sniggering. And neither reaction says anything good about British politics. The daily revelations about claims for everything from supermarket snacks to five- and six-figure property deals, are confirming a widespread public view about the different world in which many believe politicians live. The honourable exceptions are receiving short shrift.
With austerity the mood of the season, it is no wonder that MPs' apparent determination to retrieve every last penny and pound is having a dire effect on the standing of politicians. Nor, given that Labour is in government and that it was its ministers on whom the spotlight first fell, is it surprising that the greatest hit has so far been taken by Labour. By any standards, though, the figures are terrible. In one weekend poll, Labour's standing, at 23 per cent, was lower than at any time since polling began.
Further exposés will only deepen public cynicism, and turn voters off mainstream politics. It is forecast that the coming local and European elections will show catastrophic losses for the established parties, and especially for Labour. Unless there is a major transformation before the next general election, the results are likely to show a massive revolt against incumbency.
All this helps to explain the new sense of urgency that now attends the expenses issue. As early as today, MPs are expected to approve a new, independent auditing body to scrutinise and validate their claims – functions currently performed by the Commons fees office, and ultimately overseen by the National Audit Office. However strict the proposed new arrangements, however – and there is no real reason, in theory, why the previous system should not have entailed the necessary rigour – the immediate political damage has been done.
The honourable members who will be invited to cast their votes today are the very same MPs who have passed up numerous opportunities in recent months to slow the gravy train that their expenses had, in many cases, become. The latest attempt was only two weeks ago, when they faced down the Prime Minister's call for a vote on abolishing the second homes allowance. It took the reality of what was happening, exposed in all its tawdry detail to public view, to bring them even to discuss outside auditing. It is as though they had abandoned all normal notions of accountability and forgotten where the money to pay and reimburse them had come from.
Talking of money and accountability, there are two opportunities for special pleading that the latest revelations should finally lay to rest. The first is that generous expenses were needed to make up for MPs' inadequate pay. True, top pay in Britain has risen inexorably in recent years; but comparison with European legislatures shows that British MPs and ministers are as well rewarded as most, and that their expenses are, in general, higher. They have no reason at all to feel hard done by.
The other relates to the financial advantages some MPs gained by regularly "flipping" the status of their first and second homes. If, as it appears, MPs were within their legal rights to designate one and the same residence as "secondary" in order to maximise their allowances as an MP, and "primary" in order to attract Capital Gains Tax exemption, this defies both logic and fairness. MPs' money is taxpayers' money, and their obligations should be the same as every other citizen's.

"Like other VITA sites across the country, the Howard County site will offer free tax assistance preparation to most taxpayers who earned less than $49,000 in 2012. In addition to free tax return preparation, the site will offer free electronic filing, savings bonds and the option to receive refunds via direct deposit onto a debit card. Individuals taking advantage of the e-file program receive their refunds in half the time compared to returns filed on paper — even faster, when tax refunds are deposited directly into a bank account.

Students that were effected by Hurricane Katrina may be able to obtain certain tax benefits for their educational expenses. For details, see IRS publication 4492.
Federal Tax Benefits Help You Pay for College (Continued)
Doedtman said that one of the drawbacks to educations credits is that eligibility phases out at incomes between $43,000 and $53,000 ($87,000 and $107,000 married/filing jointly).
This makes the tuition and fees deduction especially desirable for taxpayers whose incomes are higher than those limits. This deduction is above-the-line, which means that you dont need to itemize to claim it. Its for qualified tuition and related fees, and the maximum deduction is $4,000, added Doedtman.
There are income limits for the deductions, but they work differently than those for the credits.
Taxpayers whose income is no more than $65,000 ($130,000 married, filing jointly) can deduct the $4,000 or the amount of their qualified expenses, if lower). Taxpayers whose income is between $65,001 and $80,000 ($130,001 and $160,000 married/filing jointly) can deduct $2,000 or the amount of their qualified expense. Taxpayers whose income is higher than $80,000 ($160,000) cannot take any deduction.
Student Loan Interest Deduction
Taxpayers are allowed to deduct student loan interest on loans (Stafford, PLUS, Consolidation and Perkins and private education loans) for themselves, their spouses, or children. The taxpayer may deduct the remaining interest paid during the life of the loan with a maximum deduction of $2,500.
Chan said that student loan interest is an above-the-line deduction, meaning that you do not have to itemize your deductions to get this deduction. Qualified expenses include tuition, enrollment fees, books/supplies/equipment, room and board, transportation, and other necessary expenses.
Doedtman noted that this tax deduction applies only if the taxpayers income is less than $65,000 or $135,000 if the taxpayer is married, filing jointly. If a taxpayers income is greater than $50,000 or $135,000 for married, filing jointly, the deductible amount will be phased down. Taxpayers are advised to consult the chart on page 29 of the IRS Publication 970, which details the phase down.
Very few types of personal interest are deductible. So it is a big deal that student loan interest is. Take advantage of the possibilities of improving your education that the tax code provides, Doetman said.
IRA Withdrawals
Taxpayers can withdraw funds from their personal existing IRA, without the 10 percent penalty, if they use the funds to pay for the higher education for themselves, their spouse, child or grandchild. The taxpayer is responsible for paying for the federal income tax on the amount that they withdraw, unless some other Roth IRA requirement has been met - such as you are 59 ½ years old, stressed Doedtman.
Students - undergraduate or graduate - can use the expenses for tuition, enrollment fees, books/supplies/equipment, room and board (if enrolled at least half time), and expenses for special needs services.
Taxpayers are also allowed to borrow from a 401 (k) fund to help fund higher education tuition and qualified expenses, added Ginny DAngelo, vice president of the student loan department, Commerce Bank in Kansas City, Montana.
According to Chan, IRA withdrawals should be a last resort. There are lots of entities who are interested in helping fund your education, but nobody else is going to give you money to live on in retirement, Chan said.
Employer Provided Education Benefits
Employer provided educational assistance may be excluded from an employees income up to $5,250. The education does not need to be job related and can be at the undergraduate or graduate level.
If your employer pays more than $5,250, the excess will be included in your income and you can potentially deduct or claim a credit for the excess expenses, Doedtman advised.
It is important to know that employer-provided tuition assistance cannot be used as the basis for any tax benefit (Hope Credit, Lifetime Learning Credit) by the recipient, Wilson added.
Concluding Advice
"People who can afford to pay for college without incurring debt should do so, said Wilson. There are many good reasons to finance your education, but tax benefits should not be among them. Tax benefits are nice for those students who need to borrow to go to college, but they should not constitute a reason to borrow," he cautioned.
Doedtman agreed. Tax credits are highly desirable solely because they reduce your tax. For example, a $1,500 tax credit will reduce the tax you owe by $1,500. However, if the tax you owe isnt as as much as the credit youre eligible for, you wont get the difference refunded to you."
College is an investment, said Korsvall. Tax season is a time when students receive a return on that investment.

Music of Nebraska
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Music of the United States |
The Music of Nebraska has included a variety of country, jazz, blues, ragtime, rock and alternative rock musicians. Several towns across the state have active musical venues, with several communities having a particularly important musical legacy.
Bands on the Saddle Creek record label out of Omaha, Nebraska such as Bright Eyes, The Faint, and Cursive. These bands are playing a significant role in the current national rock scene. The formation of the sound occurred in the mid 1990s with Commander Venus, Frontier Trust, Weak, and Matchbook Shannon, and clubs such as the Cog Factory, and Sokol Music Hall. Many people involved in these bands and venues are currently involved with Saddle Creek.
Other related aspects of the Omaha sound include various alternative bands. The alternative music scene has produced such popular artists as 311, Beaver & the Hottage Cutch, Betsy Wells and Grasshopper Takeover, and Omaha has been a temporary home base of Midwest bands such as Tilly and the Wall, Rilo Kiley, The Urge, Pomeroy, and Blue October. Tim McMahan's Lazy-i and SLAMOmaha.com are the main media outlets promoting Saddle Creek and other Omaha bands.
In Omaha, a mainstay of the music scene is Nils Anders Erickson. The studio houses modern equipment and has recorded with artists with local connections such as 311, but what makes the studio famous is its collection of vintage equipment. On top of the studio, Nils heads local jam band Paddy O'Furniture. Other mainstays of the music scene in Omaha include folk artists such as Simon Joyner, Kyle Knapp, and his son, Saddle Creek artist Joe Knapp, Joe Watson, Mike Murphy, Kevin Quinn, and electronic artists Peter None and Chip Davis.
Notable jazz musicians include guitarist Dave Stryker and drummer Victor Lewis.
Omaha also has many heavier acts as well. in the mid to late 90's' the bands Secret Skin, Clever, and Twitch dominated the scene with their highly rhythmic and guitar driven sound. Since the turn of the millennium, it has been a strong spot for Metalcore bands. A good amount have gone on to be National acts, such as Analog, Paria, System Failure, and I Am Legend. Also the Power Metal band Cellador hails from Omaha. It also draws many other heavy musical acts, strongly of the Screamo genre, including Eyes of Verotika, Caught in the Fall, and Robots Don't Cry. Other notable groups include Noah's Ark was a Spaceship, Back When, and Father.
The 2000s saw the rise in popularity of Saddle Creek Records. The label went on to build a music venue called Slowdown, encouraging more bands to stop in Omaha rather than skipping to the heralded music scene of Lawrence, Kansas. The Waiting Room also opened in March 2007.
For over a decade Terry O'Halloran and the Omaha Blues Society have brought world class blues to Omaha. Within the past five years Omaha has grown to love local favorites Satchel Grande, Kris Lager Band, and Funk Trek. Their predecessors Electric Soul Method and Polydypsia helped set the stage for this music to grow in Omaha.
North Omaha[edit]
From the 1920s through the early 1960s North Omaha boasted a vibrant entertainment district featuring African American music. The main artery of North 24th Street was the heart of the city's African-American cultural and business community with a thriving jazz and rhythm and blues scene that attracted top-flight swing, blues and jazz bands from across the country.
The most important venue was the storied Dreamland Ballroom, which was opened in the Jewell Building in 1923 at 24th and Grant Streets in the Near North Side neighborhood. Dreamland hosted some of the greatest jazz, blues, and swing performers, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, and the original Nat King Cole Trio. Whitney Young spoke there as well.[1] Other venues included Jim Bell's Harlem, opened in 1935 on Lake Street, west of 24th; McGill's Blue Room, located at 24th and Lake, and Allen's Showcase Lounge, which was located at 24th and Lake. Due to racial segregation, musicians such as Cab Calloway stayed at Myrtle Washington's at 22nd and Willis while others stayed at Charlie Trimble's at 22nd and Seward. The intersection of 24th and Lake was the setting of the Big Joe Williams song "Omaha Blues".
Notable North Omaha musicians[edit]
" | North Omaha used to be a hub for black jazz musicians, 'the triple-A league' where national bands would go to find a player to fill out their ensemble. - Preston Love[2] | " |
Blues singer Wynonie Harris was born and raised in Omaha. Early North Omaha bands included Lewis' Excelsior Brass Band, Dan Desdunes Band, Simon Harrold's Melody Boys, the Sam Turner Orchestra, the Ted Adams Orchestra, the Omaha Night Owls, Red Perkins and His Original Dixie Ramblers, and the Lloyd Hunter Band who became the first Omaha band to record in 1931. A Lloyd Hunter concert poster can be seen on display at the Community Center in nearby Mineola, Iowa.[3]
North Omaha's musical culture also birthed several nationally and internationally reputable African American musicians. International Jazz legend Preston Love, and influential drummer Buddy Miles were all friends while they grew up and played together. They collaborated throughout their lives, and while they were playing with the greatest names in Rock and Roll, Jazz, R&B and Fund. Big Joe Williams and funk band leader Lester Abrams are also from North Omaha. Omaha-born Wynonie Harris, one of the founders of rock and roll, got his start at the North Omaha clubs and for a time lived in the now demolished Logan Fontennelle projects at 2213 Charles Street.[4]
One of Omaha's most famous exports is the influential surf band The Chevrons, who were voted Omaha's most popular band in 1966. Other 1960s bands include The Echos, 7 Legends, Velvet Haze, Little Denny Wonder, Freedom Road and The Beautiful People.
Other places[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. (November 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
The earliest rock and roll band from Fremont, Nebraska was The Nomads, followed by The Sneakers, The Fugitives, The Invaders , The Brakmen and The Coachmen. The long-running popular Haywood-Wakefield Band is maybe the region's most influential. Doug Campbell from Lincoln, Little Joe & the Ramrods, The Smoke Ring, Don Sohl & the Roadrunners and Ron Thompson & the Broughams were also influential.
Being a university town, Lincoln has had a thriving music scene since the 1950s. Lincoln's Zager and Evans hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks with their song In the Year 2525 from 1969. Starting in the late 1970s, with the coming of the punk movement there has been and remains an explosion in rock bands on the Lincoln scene. In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, many notable bands like 13 Nightmares, Leafy Green Things, The New Brass Guns, For Against, The Millions, Charlie Burton, Sideshow, 2 Below, Matthew Sweet and Mercy Rule came from Lincoln. Current notable artists The Brigandines, The JV All*Stars, An Hobbes [5] Stonebelly, BlackDoubt, Ideal Cleaners, Straight Outta Junior High, Nick Hardt, Brimstone Howl, The Awkwords, Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal, and Eagle*Seagull. Indie record labels that originated in Lincoln include Wild Records, Caulfield Records and -ismist Recordings. The brothers A.J. Mogis and Mike Mogis also own Presto! Recording Studios which is located in Lincoln.
Zoo Bar (Lincoln, Nebraska)
The Zoo Bar is a blues music venue and nightclub located in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska on 136 North 14th Street.[1] Styled around the Chicago blues clubs, it is a long, narrow venue in a building built in 1921.
Around 1971, Jim Ludwig, Bill Kennedy and Don Chamberlin purchased the bar.[2] Larry Boehmer, a Master of Fine Arts student at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln at the time, promoted the bar to his fellow artists. He booked the first band in 1973 and was sole owner by 1977.[2]
Boehmer met Chicago musician and promoter Bob Riedy and formed a connection that brought many revered Chicago artists to the Lincoln club. Because of this connection, the Zoo Bar was the first white club that Magic Slim ever played. In 1975, he'd never ventured outside the clubs in Chicago's African-American neighborhoods.[2]
In 1977, Boehmer was the sole owner and the Zoo was established as an important stop for bands on the touring circuit.[2]
The first band Boehmer booked to play in the club was The Cotton Blues Band in the summer of 1973.[2]
The first national act to play at the bar was Luther Allison in September 1974.[2]
Musical acts have included: Bernard Allison, Luther Allison, Dave Alvin, Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs, Tab Benoit, Tommy Castro, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Deke Dickerson, Bo Diddley, Chris Duarte, Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials, Tinsley Ellis, Rick Estrin, Anson Funderburgh, Buddy Guy, the Hacienda Brothers, John Hammond, The Belairs, James Harman, Mark Hummel, Candye Kane, Jay McShann, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Charlie Musselwhite, Rod Piazza, Ana Popovic, Otis Rush, Doug Sahm, Curtis Salgado, Gina Sicilia, Magic Slim, Watermelon Slim, Son Seals, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Kim Wilson, and Link Wray. Eddie Clearwater, Mighty Joe Young, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Carey Bell
Numerous live albums have been recorded in the club.
Magic Slim and his band were regular performers at the bar, playing week-long stints. In the 90s, Magic Slim moved his family from Chicago to Lincoln.[2]
In 1993, the Zoo Bar won the Blues Foundation's Keeping the Blues Alive Award for Club of the Year.[2]
James Harman wrote a song for the club.[2] "Everybody's Rockin' (At The Zoo Bar)" can be found on Harman's 1995 Black And White CD.[3]
In 2000, Larry Boehmer retired and passed the bar on to his sons, Jeff and Tim Boehmer, and Pete Watters. Jeff Boehmer and Pete Watters are partners in the club now.
In July 2008, the bar celebrated its 35th anniversary.

Water Damage Cleanup in Somerset, Texas
Type 1 is water from a clean or sanitary source. Up until recently known as clear water, this label has since been modified to reduce confusion. These can include things like water from cracked clean water supply lines; clean water from restroom tank or bowl; sinks; and mineral water.
