Seen as how this post is about changes to the site. You might consider placing what Veterans or Military hearings are being held, if possible the day before, and in what house, in the right hand side bar. Clicking through people would be able to see if they're going to be streamed, might even add a c-span link to search and see if televised and on what channel, they could search that out no need to put up direct link to that stream.

Baghdad Bank Heist (0.00 / 0)
Baghdad bank heist seizes $6.9 million

Gunmen killed eight security guards and made off with $6.9 million during a brazen bank robbery Tuesday in central Baghdad, the second such assault in a week.

Police said the robberies appeared to be the work of militants seeking money for operations after their funding was curtailed in U.S.-Iraqi military crackdowns, although they didn't elaborate on the reason for that conclusion.........
