Obama plans to extend overtime to more salaried workersGreg Jaffe
President Obama said Monday that he wants to require overtime pay for salaried workers who make up to $50,400 a year, a proposal that the White House estimates will cover nearly 5 million workers.The changes would go into effect in 2016 and would replace current overtime regulations, which require overtime pay for salaried workers making less than $23,660 a year. "Right now too many Americans are working long days for less pay than they deserve," Obama wrote in a Huffington Post op-ed announcing the proposal. "That's partly because we've failed to update overtime regulations for years."Read full article >>

3-year-old boy found dead in swing reportedly died of dehydration, hypothermiaABC 7 News
LA PLATA, Md. (WJLA) -- The 3-year-old boy who was found dead in La Plata while being pushed in a swing by his 24-year-old mother in May officially died of dehydration and hypothermia Charles County Sheriff's office said Tuesday. Police say the death of Ji'Aire Donnell Lee, who was found at Wills Memorial Park on Friday, May 22, has been ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. Police said Lee showed no obvious signs of trauma. The mother, of no fixed address, who was not identified by authorities, was taken to an area hospital for a medical evaluation. The investigation showed that Ji'Aire and his mother arrived at the park at about 11:15 a.m. on May 20, police said. Lee was alive at the time, police said. Lee was reportedly placed in the swing at that time where he stayed until he and his mother were discovered. La Plata Town Police and Charles County Sheriff's Office officials arrived on scene to Willis Memorial Park at 500 St. Mary's Ave. and spotted the woman pushing the deceased child in a swing.

MCPS special education teacher's aide charged with child sex abuseKevin Lewis, ABC 7 News
POTOMAC, Md. (WJLA) - There is trouble for a Montgomery County Public School employee charged with child sex abuse, and now some parents are upset that school leaders did not immediately notify them about his arrest. Arsenio Malondras, 48, of Montgomery Village, is accused of repeatedly beating and molesting a four-year-old female relative. Police said the abuse happened throughout 2004. The victim, now 15-years-old, kept quiet until May 2015 when she contacted police. The charges are especially concerning because Malondras works as a special education teacher's aide at Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, a post he's held for the last two years. Although police arrested Malondras on Wednesday, June 24 MCPS did not notify the at-large school community until after ABC7 News inquired about the incident five days later. "It just makes me concerned. What else are they not telling us or sharing with us," WCHS parent Avi Goldscheider stated. Although the alleged abuse happened off-campus and did not involve a student, parents like Goldscheider feel MCPS should have been swifter in communicating. "We haven't heard... I don't know when this happened, but there has been no public announcement, there's been nothing that I'm aware of," Goldscheider added. An MCPS spokesman said administrators were not keeping the case a secret, but instead working closely with police to craft a proper notification method. That parental announcement came by way of email Monday afternoon. WCHS assistant principal Doreen Brandes wrote, in part: "Naturally, such charges are deeply disturbing to us all and I want to ensure our community that we are doing everything we can to ensure a safe environment for all students. We will be communicating separately to families of students that Mr. Malondras worked with at Churchill to inform them of this arrest." Malondras lives with his wife of six years in a townhome along the 9400 block of Walburg Way in Montgomery Village. No one answered the front door. When reached by telephone, the 48-year-old teachers aide promptly hung-up. His defense attorney was also unavailable for comment. "Four-years-old? That's terrible," Malondras neighbor Bob Isackson exclaimed. "It's something that's just beyond my comprehension. Four-years- old? No that's incredible." The timing of Malondras' arrest is ironic as Montgomery County's Board of Education voted Monday evening on a new and improved child sex abuse policy. However, many questions still linger, including the timeframe in which parents must be notified following the arrest of an MCPS employee in a case of sexual abuse. Malondras is charged with sex abuse of a minor, second-degree child abuse and three counts of third-degree sex offense. His next court appearance is July, 24 at 10 a.m. in Montgomery County District Court. "It's very upsetting to hear this. Its devastating, absolutely devastating, and I wish the school had done more, Goldscheider concluded.

Bulletin warns of heightened threat of ISIS attack on July 4ABC News, ABC 7 News, Scott Thuman
NEW YORK (ABC News) - The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a joint bulletin alerting authorities to the heightened threat of attack by ISIL and its supporters ahead of the Fourth of July holiday and this summer in general. The bulletin, issued Friday, is titled Holiday Celebrations Remain Attractive Target and was sent to 18,000 law enforcement agencies around the country. The document warns that that Independence Day celebrations and any activity which appears to defame the prophet Mohammed will likely result in threats or plans to conduct violent extremist acts. FBI, DHS and National Counterterrorism Center officials "remain concerned about the difficulty in detecting violent extremistsespecially lone offenders given the individualized nature of radicalization to violence, the document states. Syrian based ISIS members have been pressing through social media for adherents to carry out attacks wherever they are. The bulletin warns that attacks by U.S. based ISIL supporters could happen with little to no warning. The document also cautions the U.S. government and military personnel to be mindful of their social media presence and any personal postings which could attract violent extremists attention." The bulletin comes after an attack by an ISIS supporter on a resort last Friday in Tunisia left 38 dead, many of them European tourists.

Two Md. residents are dead after using their sump pumpSuzanne Kennedy, ABC 7 News
KENSINGTON (WJLA) - Some Montgomery County residents are going to be extra cautious the next time they use their portable sump pumps. Saturday, a 29-year-old woman and her 4-year-old daughter were electrocuted outside their Chevy Chase home as they were using a sump pump to remove water from a flooded stairwell. Both were taken to a trauma center where they died. Kensington residents Mike and Bridget Cunningham have had to use a portable sump pump to bail out their flooded basement. They say it wasn't until recently that they realized how much of a risk it was. "It makes me really hesitant and extra cautious in using it and I will go out of my way to make sure my children are nowhere near it." says father of three Mike Cunningham. Montgomery County Fire and EMS spokesperson Pete Piringer says, "The simplest thing for homeowners would just be to stay dry - create and make sure you're in a dry environment . If there's any kind of water you don't want to be messing with electricity or even plugging something in." County police and an electrician were expected to return to the Chevy Chase home Monday afternoon to further investigate this double fatal accident.
New York prison escapees David Sweat and Richard Matt originally headed to MexicoABC News
ALBANY (ABC News) - Prison escapees Richard Matt and David Sweat had originally planned to flee to Mexico before the two split up last week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a radio interview today. Investigators have already started getting important information from captured inmate Sweat, who is now undergoing treatment at Albany Medical Center, Cuomo told WCNY in Syracuse. "The plan was to head to Mexico, which would have been aided by Joyce Mitchell's vehicle," Cuomo said. "They would get the car and then drive to Mexico." Two employees at the prison, including Mitchell, a tailor shop employee, have been charged in connection with the escape. "When Mitchell doesn't show up, the Mexico plan gets foiled and they head north to Canada," Cuomo said. The governor also said Sweat, 34, split up from Matt, 48, five days ago because he felt like "Matt was slowing him down." Mitchell was charged in connection with allegedly providing hacksaw blades and tools to the men through frozen hamburger meat. She pleaded not guilty to the felony and misdemeanor charges. Mitchell's lawyer Steve Johnston said in a statement today, "I just spoke with Joyce and she is ecstatic both that the manhunt has ended and also that it appears no harm came to any other person." Sweat was shot and captured Sunday afternoon in the area of Constable, New York, approximately 1.5 miles south of the Canadian border, officials said. Authorities believe Sweat was trying to make a final break toward the border, officials said. Matt was shot and killed Friday afternoon about 16 miles south of where Sweat was found. This wasn't the first time Matt tried to flee to Mexico. In 1997, he was arrested for beating, torturing, killing and dismembering his former boss, William Rickerson, The Associated Press reported. Before his trial, Matt fled to Mexico, where he allegedly killed a man in a bar fight, the AP reported. He was later extradited to the United States and convicted of Rickerson's death, according to the AP.

Locale's advanced artificial intelligence manages settings automatically. For example: arrive at work and instantly your ringer silences, your wallpaper snaps to that scenic Caribbean photo, and Wi-Fi switches on. With Locale, never worry about your ringer going off accidentally again. Once you experience Locale's power and convenience, you'll never want to be without it. Set it and forget it!
Locale leverages patent pending artificial intelligence geofencing algorithms for instant location detection.
Configuring is simple—it just works! To create a geofence location, drag and drop the pin on the map, resize the radius using your finger, and Locale does the rest.
The best part? No battery drain. Locale's sophisticated sensor fusion technology combines accelerometer, cell, Wi-Fi, GPS, and other signals for optimal accuracy, performance, and battery life. During our extensive testing across dozens of popular Android devices, we found Locale's typical battery impact too small to even measure.
Locale manages more than your ringer. Along with built-in conditions (Battery, Calendar (Android 4.0+), Caller, Location, Orientation, Time) and built-in settings (Bluetooth, Display Brightness, Display Timeout, Ringtone, Volume, Media Volume, Shortcut, Wallpaper, Wi-Fi), Locale expands with an advanced plug-in architecture. Over 500 plug-ins for Locale exist on Google Play.
With Locale, you get what you pay for: Locale is fast, accurate, reliable, secure, and battle tested. We stand behind our app 100%. Have a question? Just ask!
Looking for troubleshooting information and tips about how to use Locale? Visit our website: http://www.244.am/support
Locale is tested and fully compatible with all of the latest Android versions (including Android 4.4 KitKat) and devices (including the Nexus 5, Galaxy S 4, and HTC One).
Locale won the grand prize of Google's Android Developer Challenge, because it is one of the coolest apps for Android and showcases what the Android platform can really do. This is what people are saying:
"I'm really taken with Locale. [...] The idea that I have an intelligent phone that configures itself depending on where I am is very powerful."
- Fred Wilson, principal of Union Square Ventures
"Locale has a lot going for it. It's easy to use, but has some advanced functionality under the hood. We have found the battery usage to be absolutely amazing. [...] We feel the level of polish and overall quality are more than commensurate with the asking price."
