Logo's unveiling lures mob to shop
'Like Christmas in July' as wait is over
Patience is the name of the Manitoba hockey fan's game: Fifteen years spent waiting for the team, four weeks for the name.
So what's another two hours in line to be among the first to bear the brand-new Winnipeg Jets logo?
Minutes after the Royal Canadian Air Force-inspired design was splashed on the team's website, hundreds of fans flocked to the newly named Jets Gear store at the MTS Centre for a chance to pick through the very first pile of blue-and-white merchandise.
Never mind the old Manitoba Moose logo that's still above the door: Inside the store, there was little doubt what colours ruled this rush. Boxes were piled high with white and navy hats and T-shirts in grey, navy, blue and white -- but despite those slim offerings, fans shelled out big bucks.
"Five-hundred dollars later," mumbled one man in a business suit as he hustled out the door, hauling three navy bags of merch.
Inside the store -- which is still being renovated -- workers laboured furiously to keep swag flowing onto the shelves, while security guards managed the flow of customers, allowing about 25 people inside at a time.
Hey, someone had to hold back that crowd.
Even three hours after the logo and gear news went public, the line outside the team store still stretched clear from Portage Avenue and Hargrave Street and turned south all the way to Graham Avenue.
To keep the fans well-fed, MTS Centre concession employees popped outside to sell pizza and drinks. Fans, well, they just grinned and settled in for the long haul. "It's like Christmas in July," beamed Nolan Klassen, who just hoped his toddler son would tolerate the wait.
Because the waiting really was the hardest part. For an average of two hours fans stood in the balmy late-afternoon air, clutching whatever they happened to be carrying when they heard the news: a briefcase, a golden retriever, an armload of dry cleaning. "Now I'm going to have to go home and explain to my girlfriend why I'm two hours late," quipped one man, who asked to remain anonymous, as he strolled down Portage Avenue with a bag of shirts and a hat.
Even as some headed home, dozens more were just arriving. Just before 6 p.m., Hector Felix was watching the news when he caught word of the new Jets logo and the merchandise sales. He dashed down to join the tail end of the line at Graham Street with $100 cash in his pocket. "I'm going away with whatever I can afford," said Felix, who happened to be visiting from Berens River.
"When I first saw the logo, I was happy for a new look. It's always time for a change, and after they came back we deserve something like this."
Some city businesses thought fans deserved a little something special, too. Soon after the colours were unfurled, Academy Bowling Lanes announced on Twitter that anyone wearing the new swag would get a free game.
"It's cool to ride the wave. Everybody's excited," manager Nathan Hogg said on Friday evening, adding that the promo was getting lots of attention on social media. "It looks like lots of people are talking about it."
Now, with most of the new team's pieces in place, there's only one thing left to wait for between now, and the first game of the brand-new Winnipeg Jets. "The jersey, I guess," said J.P. Deniset, moments before getting the green light to enter the store. "I think (the logo) will look good on a jersey."

Editorial: Candidates who mock the lawEditorial Board
A PILLAR of American democracy is the tenet that no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States, as was amply illustrated by the Watergate scandals that brought down Richard M. Nixon. This is why the integrity of presidential candidates draws justifiable attention during the race.

Wonkblog: Why macaroni and cheese tastes so good when we're downRoberto A. Ferdman
Macaroni and cheese, a staple of so many children's diets, might be the most popular comfort food known to man — or at least any American. The Kraft variety, so carefully split into its essential components — dried pasta, packaged cheese product, and step-by-step directions — makes its way into millions of homes around the country each year. So too does Annie's — little white shells, perky rabbit, and all. And restaurants haven't been shy about serving their own, house-made versions. This country's long-held obsession with the wholesome dish is so great that it has even been cited as a contributor to the steady growth of cheese consumption in the United States.Read full article >>

Gortat's double-double leads Wizards past 76ers 106-93The Associated Press Il y a 4 minutes
WASHINGTON (AP) - Marcin Gortat scored 23 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, Bradley Beal added 20 points, and the Washington Wizards defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 106-93 on Wednesday night. John Wall chipped in 13 points and 15 assists for Washington, which had lost five of six. The Wizards (42-33), who clinched a playoff spot Monday, began play three games behind the Raptors for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Ish Smith tied his season high with 23 points and Isaiah Canaan added 18 for the 76ers (18-58), who have lost four straight overall and 18 of 19 on the road. Washington dominated in their first of back-to-back games against the 76ers and Knicks - the bottom two teams in the conference - jumping out to a 13-4 lead and building from there. Otto Porter started in place of Paul Pierce (rest) for Washington and finished with 15 points. Nerlens Noel had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the 76ers. Smith scored eight early points and his scoop shot pulled the 76ers to within five at 15-10 midway through the quarter. Washington scored six straight, however and led 31-21 after one as Gortat scored 13 points in the quarter. Beal capped a 10-0 Wizards run to open the second quarter when he blocked Luc Mbah a Moute's shot, came down with the ball and drove the length of the floor for a dunk. Beal's jumper made 61-38 late in the second. Washington shot 69 percent (29 of 42) in the half and collected 24 assists. The Wizards cooled off in the second half, but still increased their lead to 34 points, 93-59, on Kevin Seraphin's step-back jumper late in the third. Hollis Thompson (16 points) hit three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, the last pulling Philadelphia to within 100-85 with 5:43 left, but the 76ers got no closer until the final minute.

MCPS principal kept child sex abuse case quiet to avoid ?scandal,? prosecutors sayKevin Lewis
ROCKVILLE, Md. (WJLA) – A Montgomery County substitute teacher pleaded guilty to pawing young girls Wednesday, triggering allegations about his former boss' gross neglect. In November 2014, police arrested Jose Pineda, 50, of Gaithersburg, after three 12-year-old girls reported he fondled their legs, back and buttocks. The three stand-alone incidents happened in crowded classrooms at Roberto Clemente and Ridgeview middle schools. Following extensive media coverage, a fourth female victim, now 23, also came forward. "Victim D" said Pineda touched her in 2004 while she attended Forest Oak Middle School in Gaithersburg. The girl recalled riding the school bus home in tears. She and her mother returned to Forest Oak that same day and met with a counselor and the school principal. According to prosecutors, the principal told the mother and student to avoid contacting police or Child Protective Services (CPS) because he "did not want to make a big scandal or harm the reputation of the school." Montgomery County Police were never notified and Pineda was consequently allowed to stay on the MCPS substitute teaching roster until his arrest 10 years later. "I think that was a mistake ... moving forward, we've got to do a better job," Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said during a press conference at Montgomery County Circuit Court. Following Pineda's arrest, the principal in question, now retired, told the Washington Post he had no recollection of reported sexual abuse during his tenure at Forest Oak. However, he indicated he would have taken the appropriate measures had something have come to his attention. MCPS has never publicly mentioned Pineda's name. However, in light of the damning allegations against one of its former principals, it released a written statement Wednesday: "We are not going to comment on the specifics of a case involving a current or past student. However, if any member of our staff becomes aware of an allegation of child abuse or neglect they are to report it directly and immediately to the appropriate authorities, and the principal should ensure that this report has been made. Anything less than that is unacceptable." In the state of Maryland, it's illegal to stop or interfere with someone's attempt to report a crime. However, that law was not in existence back in 2004, meaning prosecutors are unable to press charges against the former Forest Oak Middle School principal. "The bottom line is we know it should have been reported and it was not. We have to move forward from that. As for the precise reason why [the principal] did not report, well they have to answer for themselves," McCarthy concluded. Pineda, who emigrated from Honduras to the United States 25 years ago, is married with three children—all in their mid-20s. It's possible that his felony conviction will end with deportation. Pineda was originally charged with 10 different criminal counts. As part of his plea deal, eight counts were dropped. A judge will sentence him on May 29. He faces up to five years in prison and will also need to register with the Maryland Sex Offender Registry.

Mayor Bowser calls for streetcar expansion to GeorgetownChris Papst Il y a 2 heures
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Just a few weeks ago, it appeared dead. But the D.C. streetcar project is alive once again. Tuesday night in her State of the District address, Mayor Muriel Bowser proposed expanding the ill-fated project into Georgetown. Mayor Bowser's statement about expanding the streetcar to Georgetown caught many people by surprise. But if it were to happen, the line would run 3 miles west from Union Station along K Street and end at the corner of K Street and Wisconsin Avenue. "From Benning Road to H Street to Union Station and eventually all the way to Georgetown,"—those words by D.C.'s mayor during her first State of the District speech have people talking. "I would not be a huge proponent of it," said Anthony Mattens, an employee at Georgetown Floor Coverings. "Traffic is already horrendous trying to get out from underneath K Street to get up to M Street." "Sounds kind of fun," stated Scott Thiell, who also works in Georgetown. "I think it would be cool. I think it's exciting to jump on the thing and go all the way to H Street." A rendering of the streetcar expansion shows that, unlike along H Street, the rail would run closer to the middle of the road. "What we really lack is a high-capacity transit system," commented Will Handsfield, with the Georgetown Business Improvement District, which supports the project. Handsfield says the expansion would cost between $45 and $180 million for the extra 3 miles. Of course, that would be in addition to the $200 million already spent on the H Street line, which isn't even carrying passengers, yet—which is the result of years of mistakes Handsfield feels won't happen again. "The entire government has sort of learned from the experience with H Street and I think a lot of people have a better idea of how a streetcar should be planned," concluded Handsfield. Former Mayor Vincent Gray's original streetcar vision called for 37 miles of track. If the Georgetown expansion happens, that would bring the total length to about 5.5 miles. The target date for completion is 2022. _______ Follow 7 On Your Side Investigative Reporter Chris Papst on Twitter: @ChrisPapst.

Consumer Alert: Why cutting the cable cord may not save moneyJohn Matarese
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Scripps) -- Is cable TV done? It seems like everyone is about to offer internet streaming TV services, and cable cord cutting is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years. The latest players: Apple, Sling, and Sony's Playstation Vue are all rolling out streaming TV services. With the average cable bill now more than $120 a month, lots of us are curious about Apple's upcoming TV service: 25 streaming channels for just $40 a month. In addition to new services by Apple, Sony, and Sling, HBO is also unveiling a streaming service for $15 a month, that will no longer require you to have cable service for the first time ever. Add in existing streamers Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant, and Netflix, and you have a lot of options. But you need to know the downsides before you give up your cable box. Cutting the cord can cost more than you think. Just run some numbers: * Apple's upcoming streaming TV will be $40 a month (PlayStation Vue will be $50) * HBO streaming will cost $15. * Netflix, essential to many people, is $9 a month. * And don't forget your high speed internet, at $40 a month ($15 plans may leave you frustrated if you are trying to download and watch streaming content all day, so let's assume $40 here) You're now up to $105 a month, which may leave you saying "doesn't that stink." But wait, there's more, as the infomercials used to say. Don't see all your favorite cable channels? Want some sort of DVR service? Then add on Hulu Plus, for another $9, so you are now up to almost $115 a month. Worse, the Silicon Valley website TechTimes.com says none of these duplicate the full "cable experience," with full-feature DVR, on-demand movies, and ease of picking up just one remote and surfing channels, with a beer in one hand and your head on the arm of the couch. You'll also need an antenna for local TV stations, and with some of these services, you still won't get ESPN. So add up what these new services will cost. If it's much over $100 a month, cable may be worth keeping just for the convenience.
PG County volunteer group makes education fun for students of all agesLeon Harris Il y a 3 heures
CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. (WJLA) – It's a special day for the youngest students at Robert R. Gray Elementary School in Prince George's County; storyteller Hazeline Harris is dressed as the Cat in the Hat from the Dr. Seuss book of the same name to read to children in the school's Head Start and Kindergarten classes. Harris is a member of the Prince George's County Chapter of the Continental Societies. For 16 years, the group of women has volunteered countless hours, working with schools to bring programs focusing on everything from dental hygiene to cultural arts to interview and job skills for high school students. "There's such a limited amount of instructional time left in the school day. We feel we can fill in that void, if you will," said Lois Harrison-Jones, who chairs the Education Committee. A key focus in the younger grades is reading. And Harris uses a little magic to make books come alive. With just a flip of the pages, pictures and colors magically appear. "I learned to become a storyteller, because I felt if they had some magic that they would become lifelong readers and love reading," Harris said. The magic coloring book definitely made an impact on the young audience. "The funniest part in my brain that I keep trying to hold is she let us do some magic," said 5-year-old Jason Bradley. It also left them with an understanding of why reading is important. Four-year-old Kaylin Barnett said, "[It's because] that way, you get smart." The volunteers say it's rewarding to know they're making an impact. Since its founding, the Prince George's County Chapter of the Continental Societies has worked with more than 40,000 students in elementary through high school.
Nats get ready for Apr. 6 season opener at homeThe Associated Press, Horace Holmes
WASHINGTON (AP) - Bryce Harper's reaction to the news that the Washington Nationals added Max Scherzer to an already-talented starting staff drew quite a lot of attention. "I just started laughing," Harper famously said. "I was like, 'Where's my ring?'" Yes, that pretty much sums up where the expectations are for the 2015 Nationals - as expressed by them and by others. On the first day of full-squad workouts at spring training, reigning NL Manager of the Year Matt Williams posted these words of wisdom in the clubhouse: "The road to the World Series begins today." "We're here to get to that ultimate goal," Williams said. "We're not alone. There's 29 other teams that have the same thought. So that being said, I want to make sure that we understand that that's our goal. That is our goal: to be the last one standing at the end of it." The main reason many folks think the Nationals are capable of achieving that goal, even if the team has yet to win a playoff series, is the rotation. Scherzer, the 2013 AL Cy Young Award winner with Detroit, came aboard with a $210 million contract, joining a group that led the majors in ERA last season - right-handers Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Doug Fister, and lefty Gio Gonzalez. "There's no break" for an opposing team, new reliever Casey Janssen observed. It's such a formidable quintet that a guy who won 15 games, had a sub-3.00 ERA and threw nearly 200 innings a year ago, Tanner Roark, is moving to the bullpen. In 2014, the Nationals won a league-best 96 games and finished atop the underwhelming NL East by a whopping 17 games, but then bowed out in four games in a Division Series against the eventual champs, the San Francisco Giants. Washington's starting pitching wasn't the problem in the postseason; its bullpen and hitting were what led to a second quick playoff exit in three years. And yet general manager Mike Rizzo allowed those two areas to lose important pieces, trading away the man he called "maybe the best eighth-inning setup man in the history of the game," Tyler Clippard, and letting first baseman Adam LaRoche (team highs of 26 homers, 92 RBIs) leave via free agency. The hope, presumably, is that hitters such as Harper, Ryan Zimmerman (who replaces LaRoche at first) and Wilson Ramos, who each missed significant chunks of last season, will deliver the numbers they're capable of producing, while opponents have a really hard time scoring much against all the aces Williams will send to the mound. "It's hilarious having to go in there and face them. It's absolutely stupid," Harper said. "We have the best staff in baseball. I don't care what anybody says." Actually, Bryce, that's exactly what pretty much everybody IS saying. Here are other things to know about the Nationals, who open the season on April 6 at home against the New York Mets: HEALTH MATTERS: Half of the everyday lineup - outfielders Jayson Werth and Denard Span (both recovering from offseason surgery), third baseman Anthony Rendon and new second baseman Yunel Escobar - missed extended periods of spring training, as did fourth outfielder Nate McClouth. Rendon, Span, Werth and McClouth might all miss opening day. "You can be as good as you want on paper, but that doesn't mean anything until the end of the year," Scherzer said. "We've got to stay healthy." MIGHTY 'PEN?: Given their aspirations, October is what really matters for the Nationals, and Drew Storen blew save chances in the 2012 and 2014 playoffs. Still, the closer's job is his entering the season, and Clippard is no longer around to shut down foes in the eighth - or provide ninth-inning backup if needed. Worth watching: Will Aaron Barrett set aside the yips that hit him in the NLDS? LAST HURRAH: A couple of homegrown franchise cornerstones, Zimmermann and shortstop Ian Desmond, can become free agents after the season, as can Span and Fister. Rizzo could try to sign one or more to long-term deals. He could trade one or more. Or he could decide to let things play out with this group, then move on next offseason. "With this group of guys," Werth said, "this might be it."
Courtney Snowden named D.C. deputy mayor for economic issuesThe Associated Press, Sam Ford
WASHINGTON (AP) - A lobbyist and former D.C. Council candidate has been named to a senior-level position in Mayor Muriel Bowser's administration that's meant to help residents east of the Anacostia River. Bowser announced Wednesday that Courtney Snowden will serve as the deputy mayor for greater economic opportunity. The position has never existed before in District of Columbia government. On the campaign trail, Bowser promised that she'd appoint a deputy mayor to focus on issues east of the river, where unemployment and poverty are much higher than in the rest of the city. Snowden ran for an at-large seat on the D.C. Council last year, and Bowser supported her. In her new position, Snowden will work to help people who are trying to find a job or want to start a business.

D.C. elementary student sent to hospital alone for medical emergencyJohn Gonzalez
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- A young mother said she was outraged when an elementary school in Southeast D.C. sent her son in an ambulance to the hospital - by himself. "I leave my child in the care of the school, I don't expect this to happen," said Dominique Collins about Tuesday morning's incident at Stanton Elementary School. The school called Collins at work and said her son was having what seemed to be an asthma attack and was choking; she told school officials she was on her way. She would soon discover her son was sent to the hospital alone. The principle later called Collins to apologize profusely and make it clear that what happened was not school protocol. School staff promised Collins such an incident would never happen again, but Collins isn't satisfied and said she's considering pulling her son out of the school. A school spokesperson told ABC7 News the officials were looking into the matter, but added that the priority in a medical situation like Tuesday's is to get the child to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Israeli leader says world needs 'better deal' with Iran
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday made a last-ditch appeal for world powers to call off an emerging nuclear agreement with Iran, saying the world must insist on a "better deal" that links concessions to a change in Tehran's behavior. His remarks came as U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, arrived as part of a regional visit. U.S. Republicans share Netanyahu's concerns and have pushed for tougher sanctions on Iran, which the White House says would scuttle the talks. Last month, Boehner helped engineer a speech to Congress by Netanyahu, against the White House's wishes, in which the Israeli leader harshly criticized the possible nuclear deal. As negotiators continued talks in Switzerland a day after abandoning a March 31 deadline to reach the outline of a deal, Netanyahu said world powers were looking to ease sanctions on Iran while it continued to wreak havoc in the Middle East and threaten Israel with annihilation. He said a weak deal will reward Iran's intransigence and endanger not only Israel but other nations in the region. In an English-language statement to international media, Netanyahu said that Iran views Israel's destruction as non-negotiable, "but evidently giving Iran's murderous regime a clear path to the bomb is negotiable. This is unconscionable." Netanyahu said a better deal would "significantly roll back Iran's nuclear infrastructure" and link a lifting of restrictions on its nuclear program to "a change in Iran's behavior." "Iran must stop its aggression in the region, stop its terrorism throughout the world and stop its threats to annihilate Israel. That should be non-negotiable and that's the deal that the world powers must insist upon," he said. Netanyahu has been a fierce critic of Western efforts to reach a deal with Iran and clashed openly with President Barack Obama over the wisdom of his outreach to the Islamic Republic. While Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, Israel and Western nations suspect it is seeking a weapons capability. Netanyahu says no deal should allow Iran to continue enriching uranium, and says the emerging agreement would leave much of Iran's nuclear infrastructure in place. He has also pointed to Iran's development of long-range missiles and accuses Iran of backing radical Islamic forces across the region. Netanyahu has claimed that many Arab governments agree with him on the issue. The Obama administration has made a nuclear deal with Iran its primary foreign policy focus, and the outcome of the high-stakes negotiations could largely define his presidential legacy. In addition to Netanyahu and several Arab nations, he has also faced opposition from Republicans at home who are eager to press forward with new, stiffer sanctions on Iran. Neither Boehner nor Netanyahu mentioned Iran during a joint appearance for the media, in what may have been an attempt to avoid further tensions with the White House. Netanyahu's speech to Congress last month, which was not coordinated with the White House in a breach of protocol, infuriated the Obama administration and worsened already strained ties between the Israeli and U.S. leaders. "We've spent the last five days throughout the Middle East, and regardless of where in the Middle East we've been, the message has been the same: You can't continue to turn your eye away from the threats that face all of us," Boehner said in Jerusalem alongside Netanyahu. The discussions meanwhile dragged on in Lausanne, Switzerland, even as a self-imposed deadline passed and three of the six foreign ministers involved left the talks. Claiming enough progress had been made to warrant an extension after six days of intense negotiations, and eager to avoid a collapse in the discussions, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his British and German counterparts huddled with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif in a marathon effort to bridge gaps and hammer out details of a framework accord. The foreign ministers of China, France and Russia all departed overnight.

A day after missing deal deadline, Iran nuclear talks resumeThe Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - Iran nuclear negotiators resumed talks here Wednesday, just hours after abandoning a March 31 deadline to reach the outline of a deal and agreeing to press on. However, as the discussions dragged on, three of the six foreign ministers involved left the talks, and prospects for agreement remained uncertain. Claiming enough progress had been made to warrant an extension after six days of intense bartering and eager to avoid a collapse in the discussions, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his British and German counterparts huddled with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif in the Swiss town of Lausanne to continue a marathon effort to bridge still significant gaps and hammer out details of a framework accord. The foreign ministers of China, France and Russia all departed Lausanne overnight, although the significance of their absence was not clear. The remaining ministers and the Chinese, French and Russian officials left behind are looking to reach understandings that would form the basis for a comprehensive agreement to be reached by the end of June. After the talks last broke in the early hours of Wednesday, Zarif said solutions to many of the problems had been found and that documents attesting to that would soon be drafted. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said before leaving that the negotiators had reached agreement in principle on all key issues, and in the coming hours it will be put on paper. But other officials were more skeptical. Asked how high the chances of success were, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: "I cannot say." And British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Iran might still not be ready to accept what is on the table. "I'm optimistic that we will make further progress this morning but it does mean the Iranians being willing to meet us where there are still issues to deal with," Hammond told British reporters. "Fingers crossed and we'll hope to get there during the course of the day." Although the Chinese, French and Russian ministers left their deputies in charge, Kerry postponed his planned Tuesday departure to stay in Lausanne, and an Iranian negotiator said his team would stay "as long as necessary" to clear the remaining hurdles. Officials say their intention is to produce a joint statement outlining general political commitments to resolving concerns about Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, and their intention to begin a new phase of negotiations to get to that point. In addition, they are trying to fashion other documents that would lay out in more detail the steps they must take by June 30 to meet those goals. The additional documents would allow the sides to make the case that the next round of talks will not simply be a continuation of negotiations that have already been twice extended since an interim agreement between Iran, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany was concluded in November 2013. President Barack Obama and other leaders, including Iran's, have said they are not interested in a third extension. But if the parties agree only to a broad framework that leaves key details unresolved, Obama can expect stiff opposition at home from members of Congress who want to move forward with new, stiffer Iran sanctions. Lawmakers had agreed to hold off on such a measure through March while the parties negotiated. The White House says new sanctions would scuttle further diplomatic efforts to contain Iran's nuclear work and possibly lead Israel to act on threats to use military force to accomplish that goal. And despite the progress that diplomats said merited the extension of talks into Wednesday, officials said the differences notably included issues over uranium enrichment, the status of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, limits on Iran's nuclear research and development, and the timing and scope of sanctions relief. The U.S. and its negotiating partners are demanding curbs on Iranian nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons, and they say any agreement must extend the time Tehran would need to produce a weapon from the present several months to at least a year. The Iranians deny such military intentions, but they are negotiating with the aim that a deal will end sanctions on their economy.

D.C. doesn't make list of top 5 worst cities for traffic congestionCNN
ATLANTA (CNN) – You're not imagining things. A new survey shows that for most drivers, the commute to and from the office is getting worse. Find out the cities with the most congested commutes, and ideas to make the drive just a little smoother. If you've ever wondered how much time you spend each year stuck in traffic on the way home from the office, the answer is about 168 hours. For those counting, that's one solid week. That's according to an annual study by GPS maker TomTom, which looked at morning and evening commutes in 200 cities around the globe. Here in the U.S., the worst five cities for traffic congestion: 1. Los Angeles 2. San Francisco 3. Honolulu 4. New York 5. Seattle As much as workers hate it, employers aren't thrilled about it either. "It's not good for employers either because, of course, the productivity goes down, people are already exhausted from white-knuckled commuting into work, or they're late. Nobody's happy about that and everyone's less productive," said Nick Cohn, TomTom head of Global Traffic Research. For those looking for a silver lining, that increase in traffic means more people are working. "You can see the cities in the U.S. where the economy is going really well, you can see that in the congestion levels, for better or for worse, of course," Cohn said. Cities that relieved some of their rush hour congestion from last year, according to TomTom, are benefitting from things like bike lanes, re-timing signals, and working with major employers to stagger the workday, so not everyone is on the roads at once. Employees who can't make their in time more flexible can try different routes, real-time apps that keep tabs on traffic, and public transportation where available. Additional insight into rush hour traffic Commuters in Los Angeles experience the worst traffic congestion overall, the evening rush hour is no exception. The average 30-minute drive in L.A. will take 54 minutes during evening rush hour, leading to an extra 92 hours wasted in traffic annually.

Report: Rockets trade Royce White to the Sixers
Jul 5, 2013, 9:00 PM EDT
This is almost better news for the Rockets than the report that Dwight Howard has agreed to sign in Houston.
Royce White, the talented but troubled first round draft pick of the Rockets in 2012, has been traded to the Sixers, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
Philadelphia will receive the draft rights to international prospect Furkan Aldemir and cash in addition to White, while the Rockets will clear White's $1.7 million from the books in exchange for "future draft considerations."
White didn't play at all last season for the Rockets, and was very open publicly about an anxiety disorder which prevents him from flying at times, among other things.
Houston suspended White at one point last season for failing to report, but eventually convinced him to play in the D-League where he ended up averaging 11.4 points and 5.7 rebounds in 16 games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
If you're wondering why the Sixers would bother taking a risk on White, the reason is that there's a Houston connection in the Philadelphia front office.
The new GM of the Sixers, Sam Hinkie, came from the Rockets, where he was the executive VP of basketball operations prior to getting the gig in Philly. He likely was involved in the choice to draft White, and believes there's still hope for him with a new team to contribute at the NBA level.

Okay, so my crush and I have been friends for about 9 months and I think he likes me back but hes usually shy. I can tell when we are alone together he wants to say something but it doesn't slip his lips. How do I get him to open up a little more and speak his mind?

So I liked this guy when we went to Hawaii together with our band. He has a girlfriend now and it absolutely broke my heart. We're still close friends now though. I was texting him though and he asked who I liked, so of course I said no one since it was him and I'm friends with his gf. He then asked why and I said that I hadn't found the right guy yet and the longest crush I'd ever had was only a year and a half. It was actually two since it was him and I still like him. He asked who it was so after a bit I finally told him that it was him but that I got over it when he started dating this other girl. He seemed kinda sad by that but then he said that he used to like me too and then we were talking about what if anything had happened and he was being kinda like he wanted to try again. But he has the gf and yet he still flirts with me occasionally. He's a really sweet guy and it's the most I've ever liked a guy and I just don't know what to do

Daytime television is a ruthless business. Just ask Days of Our Lives character Tommy Horton who, in 1980, went up to the attic to retrieve his skis and never returned.
Or The Young and the Restless' Jill Abbott, who has been played by so many actresses across such a revolving door of actresses it's difficult to remember what she actually looks like*.
As the world comes to grips with the news that The Bold and the Beautiful will lose its boldest and most beautiful - dashing Ridge Forrester, played by actor Ronn Moss - the question must now be asked: what will be Ridge's eventual fate?
Death? Coma? Abduction by Prince Omar, the nefarious demi-villain who once abducted the lippy, lovestruck Dr Taylor Hayes? Or worse, a bit more plastic surgery than usual and the indignity of being replaced by a new actor?
It appears the last of those options - the old revolving door trick - is the most likely.
Bradley Bell, the head writer of The Bold and The Beautiful told US media that Ridge Forrester will not be killed off.
"Ridge will not be dead or presumed dead," he said. "He will just not be in the picture. Ridge is a pivotal part of the show and he will be back in a matter of time ... and probably not all that much time.
"There will be a period of time without Ridge, which is where some new, interesting avenues for Brooke will come into play. But at some point it will be necessary for Ridge to return to the show.
"Who will be playing the role at that point remains to be seen."
But the soap opera revolving door is a risk. And not all re-casts are successful, particularly when you're dealing with an iconic character and an audience as loyal as The Bold and The Beautiful's.
In Australia, the 1970s soap Number 96 replaced Abigail with Vicki Raymond but the audience didn't buy it and the character was written out shortly after.
Similarly, audiences didn't respond to the decision by Dallas producers to replace Barbara Bel Geddes - the show's iconic matriarch, Miss Ellie - with Donna Reed. A year later Bel Geddes was back on the show.
* in the greatest soap tradition, this statement may be overblown. In fact only three actresses have played Jill: Brenda Dickson, Deborah Adair and Jess Walton.
Kevin Bacon
Soap opera pedigree: played TJ Werner on Guiding Light.
Suggested plot twist: Ridge been exploring the poncho factories of South America and playing Six Degrees of Ridge Forrester before returning to LA to take revenge.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Soap opera pedigree: played young Mason Capwell on Santa Barbara.
Suggested plot twist: Ridge leaves LA on a cruise liner which sinks. After kicking Kate Winslet off a bit of wreckage, he floats back to LA to take revenge.
Tommy Lee Jones
Soap opera pedigree: played Dr Mark Toland on One Life to Live.
Suggested plot twist: Ridge leaves LA for a job with the Men In Black agency, protecting earth against aliens. He then returns to LA to take revenge.
Demi Moore
Soap opera pedigree: played Jackie Templeton in General Hospital.
Suggested plot twist: Ridge travels to Norway for a sex change operation and jaw transplant, before returning to LA - with boobs - to take revenge.
Brad Pitt
Soap opera pedigree: played Chris on Another World.
Suggested plot twist: Ridge leaves LA, marries Madonna, adopts a dozen children, changes his name to Ridge Von Trapp and returns to LA to take revenge.
David Hasselhoff
Soap opera pedigree: played Dr Snapper Foster on The Young and The Restless.
Suggested plot twist: Ridge leaves LA and becomes a middle-aged lifeguard with a worrying paunch, before returning to LA to take revenge.
