5 THINGS: Cyber Censorship, Coca Cola and Truman

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Tuesday, March 12, 2013:

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s World Day Against Cyber Censorship. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

At the time, it cured everything from impotence to morphine addiction. On this day in 1894, Coca-Cola was first bottled and sold in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

He was such a remorseless gunner on the court that he even took extra letters in his name off of it for himself. Happy 42^nd birthday to Isaiah Rider!
