Newhall Pass brush fire chars 8 acres, outbuilding
NEWHALL PASS, Calif. (KABC) -- A fast-moving brush fire charred 8 acres of vegetation and engulfed an outbuilding in the Newhall Pass area on Thursday.
The blaze was first reported around 1:40 p.m. near The Old Road and Towsley Canyon Road.
Los Angeles County firefighters battled the three-alarm blaze from the ground and the air.
The fire created plumes of thick, white smoke, which could be seen for miles.
There was little wind, so the fire was mostly driven by the hot and dry conditions as it burned up the hillside.
The nearby 5 Freeway was open to traffic, but lanes on the southbound side were moving slowly as cars moved past the thick smoke.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
The cause of the blaze was not known.
Texas Quilt Museum & Flower Garden | Central Texas Gardener
Have you ever considered how quilts and gardens unite two arts? That's just what's happening at the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange where cousins Karey Bresenhan and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes restored historic buildings to feature heritage and contemporary quilts. In their Grandmother's Flower Garden, designer Mitzi VanSant brings quilt patterns to life with drought-tough plants that represent the historic time frame. Indoors, quilt displays rotate while outdoors, the garden follows the seasons with bloomers set in evergreen frames. Austin graphics artist Duana Gill designed a quilt mural on the buildings that stitches museum and garden together.
CBS News reports that Thomas Andrew Reid Investigation May Take 3 months
The Texas Rangers are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Andrew Reid, of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada (not Ottawa as the reporter suggests).
The investigation may take upwards of three months to complete. At least one media source is now reporting that the two Deputies involved in this incident have been suspended with pay. The length of time that this investigation shows that this is not necessarily an open-and-shut case.

Farm Tariffs, Georgia-Pacific Layoffs, Government Shutdown | 1/18/19 | LSWI
A Debate About Farm Tariffs •
The week began with a visit to New Orleans by President Trump, where he spoke to the American Farm Bureau Federation about tariffs. Dr. Charles Boustany, who has represented south Louisiana in congress for over a decade, was at the event. He has teamed up with a non-partisan campaign called Tariffs Hurt the Heartland, a movement opposed to the use of tariffs. Dr. Boustany speaks with Andre’ about his concerns for the state farmers. • •
Layoffs at Georgia-Pacific •
Georgia-Pacific’s decision to stop producing office paper at its plant in Port Hudson will mean the layoff of 650 people, and it has experts adding up the losses. An LSU Agriculture Center economic model says the ripple effect could impact more than 2,100 jobs across the state. This calculates to nearly $188 million in labor income. Just over a decade ago, when international paper closed in Bastrop, it cut the heart out of the northeast Louisiana city. Andre’ discusses the current situation with Dr. Jim Richardson, director of public administration at the Ourso College of business at LSU. • •
What the Government Shutdown Means for Louisiana •
The government shutdown has become the longest in U.S. history. Jan Moller of the Louisiana Budget Project, who keeps watch on public policy and how it affects the state’s low to moderate income families, and Marketa Garner Walters from the Department Of Children And Family Services, discuss the impact the shutdown is having on people in Louisiana.

SUMMARY
=======
Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas and the seat of Travis County, with portions extending into Hays and Williamson counties. It is the 11th-most populous city in the United States and the 4th-most populous city in Texas. It is also the fastest growing large city in the United States, the second most populous state capital after Phoenix, Arizona, and the southernmost state capital in the contiguous United States. As of the U.S. Census Bureau's August 1, 2018 estimate, Austin had a population of 967,629 up from 790,491 at the 2010 census. The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan statistical area, which had an estimated population of 2,056,405 as of July 1, 2016. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, it is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways, including Lady Bird Lake and Lake Travis on the Colorado River, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls, and Lake Walter E. Long.
In the 1830s, pioneers began to settle the area in central Austin along the Colorado River. In 1839, the site was chosen to replace Houston as the capital of the Republic of Texas and was incorporated under the name Waterloo. Shortly afterward, the name was changed to Austin in honor of Stephen F. Austin, the Father of Texas and the republic's first secretary of state. The city grew throughout the 19th century and became a center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas at Austin. After a severe lull in economic growth from the Great Depression, Austin resumed its steady development, and by the 1990s it emerged as a center for technology and business. A number of Fortune 500 companies have headquarters or regional offices in Austin including, 3M, Amazon.com, Apple Inc., Cisco, eBay, General Motors, Google, IBM, Intel, Oracle Corporation, Paypal, Texas Instruments, and Whole Foods Market. Dell's worldwide headquarters is located in nearby Round Rock, a suburb of Austin.
Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, blue-collar workers, and a vibrant LGBT community. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as The Live Music Capital of the World, a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues, as well as the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits. The city also adopted Silicon Hills as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies. In recent years, some Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan Keep Austin Weird, which refers to the desire to protect small, unique, and local businesses from being overrun by large corporations. In the late 19th century, Austin was known as the City of the Violet Crown, because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset. Even today, many Austin businesses use the term Violet Crown in their name. Austin is known as a clean-air city for its stringent no-smoking ordinances that apply to all public places and buildings, including restaurants and bars.U.S. News & World Report named Austin the #1 place to live in the U.S. for 2017 and 2018. In 2016, Forbes ranked Austin #1 on its Cities of the Future list, then in 2017 placed the city at that same position on its list for the Next Biggest Boom Town in the U.S. Also in 2017, Forbes awarded the South River City neighborhood of Austin its #2 ranking for Best Cities and Neighborhoods for Millennials. WalletHub named Austin the #6 best place in the country to live for 2017. The FBI ranked Austin as the #2 safest major city in the U.S. for 2012.
