WTOK's Toython is Friday and Saturday at the Wal-Mart Supercenter at Bonita.
WTOK partners with Wesley House each year to collect new, unwrapped toys to go to the children served by the charitable agency. Peavey loans a large truck to collect and transport the toys.
"WTOK is certainly appreciative of all our viewers who every year, faithfully, donate to this," said WTOK general manager Tim Walker. "And we also thank those agencies that help us, Wal-Mart, Peavey. This year, The Radio People have been instrumental in helping us get the word out, so we're looking forward to a great event And we appreciate everyone's support."
"People are able to go and do their Christmas shopping, pick up an extra toy and just drop it off," said Scott Stevens of The Radio People. "In fact we're going to be out there helping support it as well and we're just glad to be a part of it."
"I love the Toython," said Wesley House director Ginger Grissom. "The Toython is the jump start for our program here at Wesley House at Christmas time. We depend upon you; when we try to fill that 18-wheeler, please know that it's never full enough to provide toys for everybody in need."
Toython is Friday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

|New CDL regulations will require compliance by 2014
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Tuesday, 10 April 2012 20:38
Colorado statute 42-2-235 and rule 8 CCR 1507-1 require all Colorado Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders be medically qualified to drive a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) by the means of a valid DOT medical, medical waiver or Skills Performance Evaluation (SPE).
This was an existing requirement and nothing in the recent rule making changes that requirement. All Colorado CDL holders must demonstrate they are medically fit to operate a CMV by undergoing a DOT physical.
In 2009, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) passed rule making that now ties the DOT medical to the CDL and gives enforcement of expired or improper DOT medicals to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). These changes only affect CDL holders and do not affect drivers of CMV in the 10,001-26,000 weigh class.
The effective date of these changes was Jan. 30 for new CDL applicants and individuals renewing their CDL. All CDL holders will need to comply by Jan. 30, 2014.
The new requirements are federally mandated, and the federal rules impacted include 49 CFR 383, 384, 390 and 391. The regulations can be accessed online at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov.
The DOT/CDL Medical project combines the DOT medical with the CDL license. While there are numerous changes to the requirements, the bottom line is the main requirements are still in place. The medical qualifications have not changed, and CDL holders must still be medically qualified to operate a CMV. It is the individual's responsibility to ensure their DOT is kept current.
Employers are still responsible to know their drivers meet the medical requirements and their drivers have a valid DOT medical on file at all times.
The biggest change with the new rule making is the DMV now systematically tracks expired or invalid DOT medicals, and development of a new licensing status prohibits an individual from driving a CMV when they are medically qualified.
The DMV is now responsible for collecting, storing, enforcing and providing the DOT information upon demand to employers, prospective employers and law enforcement.
As of the effective date, CDL holders are no longer required to have to carry or to present their DOT medical card to their employer, prospective employer or to law enforcement at roadside.
Employers are no longer required to keep a copy of the actual DOT medical certificate in their employee's driver qualification file. Instead, they are now required to keep a copy of what is called the CDLIS MVR—Commercial Driver License Information System Motor Vehicle Record.
If drivers submit their DOT medical to a DMV person, they can get a copy of their CDLIS MVR on the spot. If drivers fax or mail it in, they can wait 24-36 hours and then request a CDLIS MVR either in person or by mail.
The CDLIS MVR, which still has all of the same MVR information, will now also have all the DOT medical, medical waiver or SPE information including expiration dates to keep compliant.
A check by law enforcement at roadside of the DMV's files will indicate to the officer if the individual is medically qualified and whether the individual is legal to drive a CMV or not.
While the new rule eliminates the need for CDL drivers to carry their DOT medical on their person when operating a CMV, and the employer is no longer required to keep a copy of the DOT card in their driver qualification file, the CDL unit strongly encourages that both the driver and employer continue their current practice of maintaining the card just as an extra precaution.
The new rule also established the creation of a new status that must be tracked by the DMV. The status is called the "Medically Certified Status." The certification status will either be set to blank, "certified" or "not certified," and this status will be separate from the document or driving status.
The status will be based off the medical certification expiration date and will indicate whether an individual is medically eligible to drive a CMV or not.
If the status of a CDL holder is "certified" and the license status is valid, then the individual can legally drive a CMV, but if the certification status is "not certified" or a blank because of an expired medical verification or a downgrade to a regular license, then the individual can no longer legally drive a CMV, even if their license status shows valid.
Also new with this rule is the requirement that all CDL holders now have to certify as to what type of commercial driving they do. The individual driver must choose from the following four certification choices.
—Non-excepted interstate. A person must certify that he or she operates or excepts to operate in interstate commerce, is both subject to and meets the qualification requirements under 49 CFR part 391 and is required to obtain a medical examiners certificate.
—Excepted interstate. Colorado state law disallows "excepted" status. Visit http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov for details.
—Non-excepted intrastate. A person must certify that he or she operates only in intrastate commerce and therefore is subject to state driver qualification requirements.
—Excepted intrastate. Colorado state law disallows "excepted" status. Visit http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov for details.
While the certification choice must be taken seriously, the Colorado DMV encourages individuals to not put too much emphasis on the choice. Individuals are allowed to make whatever choice they want and can do so without question.
If an individual chooses the first option, even though they typically only drive in intrastate commerce, they may do so. However, if an individual chooses the third or fourth options, they will be limited to intrastate driving only. The Colorado CDL unit encourages all CDL holders in Colorado to choose the first option, regardless of who they are employed by or what type of commercial driving they do.
Compliance is achieved by ensuring drivers provide the DMV with a copy of a DOT medical certificate each time it is renewed, before the previous one expires.
As in the past, on the first day of an individual's DOT medical certificate expiring, that individual is no longer qualified to operate a CDL type CMV. On the 10th day of an expired medical, the driver's medical certified status is changed to not certified, and a letter is mailed stating the individual is not allowed to drive a CMV.
If the CDL holder is still not compliant by the 30th day, the DMV will cancel the individual's entire license and the individual has no driving privileges.
The driver then can only be in compliance by means of a new DOT medical card or a downgrade to a regular license. There is no reinstatement fee, and drivers do not need to re-qualify unless it has been over one year on either a cancelation or downgrade.
CDL medical cards may be presented in person to all state DMV offices and some county DMV offices. They can also be mailed or faxed in. E-mailed copies are not accepted.
In most cases drivers will only need to provide a copy of the DOT medical certificate. Occasionally, the long form may be required for investigative purposes.
To be accepted, medical certificates need to be complete, legible and have no appearance of being altered.

New York DUI or DWI
In New York, driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are serious crimes. A conviction can have lasting impacts. Your job, car insurance premiums, educational opportunities and personal are all at stake. You may face jail or fines. And you could lose your driving privileges. Whether it is your first or a repeat DUI, a New York DWI attorney can help you mount a strong defense.
What Triggers a DWI in New York?
If you are pulled over in New York, there are two main ways to trigger a drunk driving arrest:
- Registering a 0.08 or higher on a blood or breath
- Failing a field sobriety test
Driving under the influence or DUI lawyers can markedly improve the outcome of your case. This is especially true if you failed field sobriety tests. You should never simply plead guilty to a DUI offense. A skilled New York DWI lawyer may be able to help you get:
- Charges dismissed
- Driving privileges restored
- Fines, penalties, and sanctions reduced
- Community service instead of jail sentence
Are Field Sobriety Tests Required?
No, they are not. Field sobriety tests must be voluntary, if they are to be admitted as evidence. Police cannot force you to take them. Statements you make in refusing them, however, can be used against you. In some cases, what you say could be even more harmful than failing the test. So it is important to remember to act respectfully. Politely decline, if you choose to refuse these tests. And rest on your constitutional right to remain silent.
Contact a Local New York DWI Lawyer Today
New York driving under the influence lawyers have the legal "know how," procedural familiarity, relationships, reputation, and experience to build winning defenses for clients just like you. They focus on weaknesses in police testing equipment, conditions, and methods to defend your privileges to drive, personal records, and liberties.

St. Louis County, Mo (KSDK) - A south St. Louis County Walmart was evacuated after a woman detained for shoplifting was making meth in the loss prevention office.
St. Louis County police responded to the Walmart on Telegraph Road near Interstate 255 for a report of a woman shoplifting.
Loss prevention had detained the woman, and she was placed in a holding area until officers arrived.
While she was detained, she had a 20 ounce soda bottle in her purse that was cooking meth while she was in the holding room.
Because meth is known to explode, the store was immediately evacuated.
A hazmat team then had to respond to clean up the holding room.
St. Louis County Police say when they searched the woman's car, materials directly involved in the production of meth were recovered. They say this method of cooking meth in a soda bottle has become popular.

Easy, Last-Minute Move Could Cut Your Taxes by Thousands
The IRS lets you count a contribution to your IRA made before April 15 as occurring the previous tax year. You could get a deduction worth thousands.
The IRS lets you count a contribution to your IRA made before April 15 as occurring the previous tax year. You could get a deduction worth thousands.
The IRS has increased the amount that 401(k) participants can stash away. Your task: Plotting a strategy that lets you take advantage of that and save more.
Mommy and daddy might've raised you well, but don't assume they always know best when it comes to money.
If meeting with your financial advisor is on your December "to-do" list -- and it should be -- here are a half dozen things you should do to prepare that will help you get the most out of the meeting.
Nobody likes to spend the holidays thinking about taxes. But by spending a little time now, you can potentially give yourself a nice reward when your IRS refund comes next year. Here are five ways you can uncover tax savings between now and New Year's Eve.
Smart retirees have done everything they could lately to stretch their retirement accounts, but taking too little out of them will get you into big trouble with the IRS. Fail to withdraw your full required minimum distribution, and the penalty you pay to the tax man will be severe.
Year-end tax planning is trickier this time around: Unless Congress compromises, all the Bush tax cuts will expire when 2013 arrives, and many popular tax breaks that expired at the end of 2011 may not get revived. Here's how you can lower what you owe the IRS, regardless of what happens in Washington next month.
How much do people have saved for retirement in their 30s? In their 40s? In their 50s? LearnVest conducted a nationwide survey to find out. Wondering how your portfolio balance stacks up? Take a look at the breakdown and find out.
We all know how hard it can be to build up a big enough nest egg for retirement. But because many retirees leave their IRAs and 401(k)s untouched as long as possible to avoid paying taxes, you might someday face the bittersweet experience of inheriting a retirement account.
Saving for retirement has always been hard. But starting in 2013, the IRS is making it a little easier for you to put more money aside for your golden years. On Oct. 18, the IRS announced that it was upping the contribution limits for IRAs and 401(k) plans.
If you converted your IRA to a Roth IRA last year, you have until Oct. 15 do what's called a recharacterization, which essentially lets you undo the conversion and get a do-over. And there may be some big tax benefits to doing that now.
How seriously do Americans take our retirement plans? Not seriously enough to do our homework: A new study shows that two-thirds of Americans with defined-contribution plans or IRAs spend less than five minutes scrutinizing each disclosure statement. But wait: It gets worse.
The Roth IRA is one of the best retirement vehicles around, thanks primarily to its terrific tax advantages. The only problem is that some people earn too much, and aren't qualified to contribute directly to one. Fortunately, there's a way around those restrictions.
If you're trying to save for retirement, a Roth IRA could be one of your most powerful tools. But until recently, high earners couldn't take advantage of these retirement accounts.
It's hard to save, especially when times are tough. But when you get a tax refund check, you've essentially set up an IRS-sponsored savings plan. By...
Obviously, what you invest in can mean the difference between getting rich and losing your shirt. But where you place those investments can be even more important -- especially if you end up picking winners.
There are several major flaws in the classic "retirement as a goal" scenario, but you're not locked into it. If you've avoided major debt and have an education that allows you the freedom to re-imagine the concept, you could completely change your life.
Although the end of 2011 is near, it's not too late to make sure you don't owe more to the IRS than you need to on April 15. Here are some tax-smart moves to make before you head out to that New Year's Eve party.
When you contribute to a traditional IRA, you can deduct that money from your taxable income that year. When you contribute to a Roth IRA, you don't get the immediate tax benefit -- but you withdraw your money tax-free in retirement. It's also possible to convert from a traditional to a Roth, but you have to pay taxes to do so. A reader named Ron wants to know how that works, and when he'd have to pay the taxes. DailyFinance's Laura Rowley explains.
Though it has been part of the retirement investing landscape for more than a decade, many people still don't understand the Roth IRA, or what it can do for them. DailyFinance's Sheryl Nance-Nash clears up the myths and misunderstandings about this tax-advantaged savings vehicle.
It might not be too late to get yourself a little extra tax savings by contributing money to a traditional IRA. If you qualify for a deductible...

Got Android? Please test!
Posted 19 April 2011 - 06:32 AM
I really hope I'm not violating any forum rules by posting this message, if it does, then I apologize upfront to the wise and omnipotent moderators!
If you own an Android phone, I would like to invite you to try my new Android application, FOViewer. You can find it in the Android Market.
This is my first Android application and I really need some constructive feedback on it so that I can make it even better. And who better to judge my astronomy related programming skills than you folks?
Feel free to discus your experiences with the app in this thread, I'm really looking forward to your feedback!

- GPS coordinate are too small, increase font size. Through my protector, they are too hard to read.
- Swiping left or right on the target image to switch the eyepiece, and swiping up and down to switch the target would be a welcome addition.
- Having a few small footprint targets would be nice. M57 and M104 would be nice additions.
- Multiple targets for the same FOV would also be nice. Leo triplet, Perseus double and M81+M82.
If you add the proposed targets, this could become a nice teaching tool for more experienced observers helping newbies. As-is, it will help some of the less experienced users, but including the suggested targets would make even more helpful. An easy way of finding out what eyepieces to use for tiny planetary nebulae and galaxies like M57 and the Sombrero would have helped me a lot in my beginnings.

1. You do know that you can already switch targets by tapping the preview? If you do than could you please explain to me what you mean exactly?
2. What do you mean by multiple targets for the same FOV?
@psonice Pinch to zoom would indeed be a great addition, but not all Android devices support multi-touch pinch to zoom. But I'll keep your suggestion in reserve
Posted 20 April 2011 - 02:50 PM
You do know that you can already switch targets by tapping the preview?
Actually, I did not. I tried to swipe left and right with no results... Never thought of trying a tap... BTW, I noticed M81/81, really cool.
multiple targets for the same FOV ?
With a C8, M81/82 cannot quite fit in a Nagler 16's FOV, and both Galaxies are to the left of the FOV circle. Having a way to re-center either image or the FOV circle would be a nice touch.
Keep up the good work.
Posted 21 April 2011 - 06:33 AM
Hmm maybe tapping is not the most intuitive choice for cycling through the previews... Recentering the VOF circle by dragging would conflict with your wish to cycle through the eyepieces by swiping left or right (which I already added to version 1.1 which is in development right now).
I think the easiest solution is to change the m81/82 preview and place the galaxies in the center of the image. I'll get on that.

I just noticed you are also working on setting up your website. Looking forward to that support section.... Will it be a "Blog with reader Feedback" formula, or an E-mail form type of arrangement ?
Posted 29 April 2011 - 02:46 AM
You made some very good suggestions so they deserve to be included! I'll try to grand as many wishes for FOViewer as possible.
About the site, my plans are pretty ambitious and include a forum and a form based e-mail service. But if I can arrange it, a Blog with feedback would certainly be a better idea.
But every time I open the Joomla administrator to get some work done, something intervenes and I get nothing done
I'll try to get more stuff on the site asap!
Posted 29 April 2011 - 02:54 AM
And how does it perform, everything works fine and smooth?
DO you perhaps have some way to make a picture of the app while running on your phone? The Mesmerize is a fairly new phone and I'm wondering how much screen real estate the app is using.
Do you have any wishes concerning the app?

This is my first post to the website, as my account was just approved today but I have already seen/used your app and it is awesome and easy to use, although red isn't my favorite color but it will do I suppose ; )
Maybe not, but it's your eyes' favourite colour when it's dark. When you're out with a scope, you want to preserve your night vision, and red affects it less than other colours. You'll find pretty much all astronomy apps have red on black for just this reason

Thanks for the program, couple of observations on my part after testing on Nexus S (2.3.1) and G1 (1.6) - works great on both of 'em:
* great idea for the time/gps/compass info on screen, however it looks like the gps portion is quite a battery drain according to OS's list of what's using phone battery.
* exit pupil info would be nice to have
The idea for the time / compass / gps features is to help you (and myself) to setup your goto mount. I honestly admit that I never thought of looking at the power consumption for those features. I think I'll only poll the GPS location right after the app starts. In the current version it is polled every second or so (which isn't really necessary).
You want the exit pupil? Done! It's in the next version

A Santa Monica legislator wants to limit the amount of time that children in day care spend playing video games. California Assemblywoman Julia Brownley (D) also wants to ensure that any games played are of the educational or exercise varieties.
To that end Brownley has introduced AB627. Her bill is aimed at addressing California's rampant childhood obesity problem.
As noted by the San Francisco Chronicle:
[The bill would] require child care centers receiving state reimbursement for their food programs to limit sugary sweets and drinks, prohibit deep-fat frying, mandate servings of vegetables and limit TV, computer and video-game use to one hour per day, among other regulations.
A reading of the bill suggests that games like Wii Fit or Dance Dance Revolution would be acceptable if AB627 becomes law:
For children in full day care, screen time, including, but not limited to, television, video games, and computer usage, shall be limited to a maximum of one hour per day and shall be limited to
educational programming or programs that encourage movement. For children in less than full day care, screen time shall be reduced proportionately.
The measure has been referred to the Assembly's Human Services Committee.

I just saw an ad for EFLC on tv, and I'm assuming Roxette's "She's Got The Look" will be on Vice City FM.That song came out in 88 i think. Which leads me to believe the station will feature songs from throughout the 80's, not just the early to mid 80's like the two VC games. Here's hoping for some Rick Astley, then!
Wishful thinking, i know.
Voice over would probably call him the"rickrolla" or something like that.

I like this station better since I am an 80s fan and Vice City being my favorite GTA games besides SA and the latest ones. The funny thing is that I downloaded half of these songs from the VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 80's list and then to open the EFLC to find them on the game? Priceless.

In France we don't use state/provice for our addresses and if that field is left blank then the display of a contact in either list or detailed format shows incorrectly and without a space i.e. what should show as 'Vannes 56000' is actually 'Vannes56000' Obviously a formatting problem in the display, it does show the address/state/postcode correctly if there is an entry in the state field.
Anyone else confirm this? If so, I'll file it in bugzilla - I think this has been around for a while but I've only just got round to checking it. :o

La Sportiva Jeckyl VS Shoe Review
La Sportiva Jeckyl VS | $120 |
I'm a narrow-footed, middle-sized white boy rapidly approaching 50. I know I'm never going to climb 5.15 or win a gold medal in anything but hot-sauce-making contests, so when it comes to rock climbing I keep a small quiver of well-fitting, comfortable shoes that perform for the styles I like best: bouldering, sport, trad and multi-pitch. La Sportiva's new model, the Jeckyl VS, happens to fill the bill for all these disciplines.
I haven't tried the Jeckyls on anything harder than 5.13, but I doubt the shoe is as precise as some of Sportiva's high-end fleet like the Testarosa or Solution. For a middle-sized white boy like me, however, these shoes are as much horse as I need.

Financial Aid at Finlandia
Financial Aid / Student Accounts are now located on sixth floor of Jutila Center
Welcome to the financial aid page for Finlandia University! We look forward to speaking with you about your aid options. You can apply for federal student aid for free by going online to www.fafsa.gov.
On this page and through the links on the left, you will find information regarding filing for federal student aid through the FAFSA form, along with information on financial assistance from the State of Michigan, Finlandia University, and information on Veterans Education Benefits. Do not hesitate to contact our offices with any questions you may have throughout the process.
Cost-Aid Factor
One of the mistakes most commonly made in choosing a college is to base one's decision on outward costs alone. In order to fully determine the best buy, it is imperative that financial aid opportunities be factored in. Often a small private institution is better able to look at financial aid on an individual basis. This can result in the student realizing more financial aid opportunities, thus offsetting the costs.

Ambulance settlement a tangled web
The bidding for the city of San Diego's ambulance contract is expected to begin soon, but the public-relations battle began more than two years ago.
That's when the current provider, Scottsdale, Arizona-based Rural/Metro, was accused by a former employee turned competitor of stealing as much as $12 million from the city through its unique public-private partnership. Additional allegations put the total at $18 million or more.
The ambulance partnership, created in 1997 as San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, was dissolved in favor of a more traditional outsourcing pact with Rural/Metro while the company paid for an independent investigation of the claims. In the end, no evidence of wrongdoing was found and mediation resulted in Rural/Metro paying a $1.4 million settlement to cover the city's costs.
Now, with the ambulance contract set to expire June 30, U-T San Diego has obtained confidential memos from the mediation process that show the City Attorney's Office expressed frustration with Rural/Metro's level of cooperation and questioned whether the investigation went far enough to determine if Rural/Metro had taken more than its fair share during the 13-year partnership.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith and Rural/Metro CEO Michael DiMino say the documents — which Goldsmith said should not have been released because of attorney-client privilege — show the two sides posturing during sometimes intense and tough negotiations. At one point, Rural/Metro filed a claim threatening to sue the city for misconduct. Each praised the mediation process because it avoided a protracted legal fight and ended with a good settlement for both parties.
Dan Kalish, attorney for Robert "Boo" Heffner, a former Rural/Metro executive who filed the whistle-blower lawsuit that ignited the controversy, said the documents instead show that Rural/Metro refused to provide basic information and the city has no way of knowing if the company got away with millions. Heffner, who was fired by Rural/Metro, now works for Denmark-based Falck, a major ambulance company expected to bid on San Diego's contract this year.
To address the allegations of impropriety, Rural/Metro agreed in April 2011 to pay for an independent firm to conduct a full forensic accounting of the partnership finances and put up a $7.5 million surety bond to secure any future city claim. The central accusation, from Heffner, was the company kept bad-debt collection revenue — as much as $12 million from 1997 to 2007 that should have gone into city coffers — outside of the partnership's bank account and the city never received the money. Secondly, City Auditor Eduardo Luna reported that Rural/Metro withdrew nearly $6 million from the partnership in excess of the expense reimbursements it was entitled to.
During the subsequent investigation, the city accused Rural/Metro of making inappropriate communications with the investigative firm, Cornerstone Research, without notifying the city as required. The city also said the company was making unreasonable and unnecessary document requests of the city.
In a Dec. 5, 2011, letter, Deputy City Attorney Sanna Singer accused Rural/Metro of reneging on its promise of a full forensic accounting of the partnership by narrowing the investigative scope. "To date, Cornerstone has performed not an in-depth forensic review, but rather a 'grand reconciliation' of Rural/Metro's books and records," she wrote. "Cornerstone has performed virtually no testing of the revenue and expenses appearing on Rural/Metro's general ledger … to ensure that Rural/Metro is telling the truth."
After Cornerstone released a draft report of its findings, Singer responded with a Jan. 18, 2012, letter and once again criticized the firm's work as not going far enough. Specifically, she cited that the firm only examined 28 of thousands of transactions. Two of them — both for more than $20,000 — appeared to be charges related to other cities and not San Diego. Singer proposed examining 200 to 300 additional transactions, among other things, to determine the accuracy of Rural/Metro's records.

CHICAGO (AP) -- One Chicago woman says she "thought it was just media hype."
But the storm that's brought a blast of wet snow to the city appears to be living up to the advance warnings. It's expected to dump more snow than Chicago has seen since the 2011 blizzard.
It's barreling through Illinois on its way toward the nation's capital, where it is expected to arrive late tonight.
In western Wisconsin this morning, a semi-trailer slid off a snow-covered interstate and into a river, killing one person. Authorities have been searching for a second person believed to have been a passenger.
Airlines canceled more than 1,100 flights at Chicago airports today. And airlines along the storm's projected path are also cutting flights -- including hundreds at Dulles and Reagan National airports in the Washington area.
In Chicago, officials have been working to keep Lake Shore Drive safe. A blizzard in February of 2011 shut down the lakefront highway at rush hour, stranding hundreds of cars and buses and trapping passengers overnight.
UNDATED (AP) -- A late-winter storm is barreling through the Midwest and will soon take aim at busy airports around Washington, D.C.
More than 1,200 flights had been canceled by late morning, almost all of them at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports.
Airlines are looking one day ahead. They've already canceled about 450 flights tomorrow, mostly at Dulles and Reagan National airports in the Washington area, according to tracking service FlightAware.com.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Officials in Chicago are working to keep Lake Shore Drive safe in the middle of a snowstorm.
Chicago could get up to 10 inches of snow. Officials are trying to avoid a repeat of two years ago, when a blizzard stranded hundreds of people on the world-famous road.
Among the new procedures, officials have opened a removable barrier in the median of the four-lane roadway running along the Lake Michigan shorefront.
Plows and salt-spreading trucks are in easier striking distance of Lake Shore Drive. And they started treating the roadway hours before snow began falling.
Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Charles Williams told reporters he expects a tough afternoon commute. But he says plows will be freer to move around overnight to get roads clear by morning.

FHP: Crash victim was driving under the influence
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
A 24-year-old Ocala man killed late last year in a single-vehicle traffic crash on U.S. 441 had alcohol and drugs and in his system, according to a report released by the Florida Highway Patrol.
A toxicology report indicated that Robert Joseph Crowley Jr.'s blood alcohol level was .219, nearly three times more than the legal limit, according to Cpl. Wallace Dill, a traffic homicide investigator.
On Oct. 25, Crowley was driving a 2009 Toyota Camry southbound in the inside lane of U.S. 441 at Northwest 219th Street Road.
Troopers said Crowley lost control of the car while making a right turn and the vehicle veered onto the grassy shoulder and into a tree, then flipped over.
Crowley, who was returning home from a Florida Gators football game, was ejected from the car. He wasn't wearing a seat belt.
Crowley was transported to Shands at the University of Florida Hospital in Gainesville, where he died.
Officials believe the vehicle was traveling 69 mph.

|Geist honored for service to Legion
|Written by Chris Lee
Jack Geist was recently honored for 60 years of continuous service to the American Legion. He received a certificate from Shirley Kadlec of American Legion Post 90 in Holyoke for the honor.
John or Jack, whichever name you prefer calling him, became a member of the Legion a year before he moved to Holyoke from Denver where he had lived since being discharged from the war.
Geist was the commander in Holyoke when the Legion moved to its current location. He remembers they still had a group of WWI veterans here that were the core of the Legion when that move was made.
"The Legion is a good organization," Geist said. "They've been good for the community here I think."
Geist didn't have an extensive service career but was busy with different cadres all over the United States. These cadres took soldiers and built organizations such as schools around them. Different cadres were sent out to create new places to train more men during the war, according to Geist.
One place he was involved was Lowry Field when he enlisted in the Air Force. The Air Force took over Ft. Logan and made a clerical school out of it, according to Geist. He said he didn't have much to do with the school but was in the food supply division. He served there for about seven months before going out on another cadre to Chicago where the Air Force had taken over some hotels downtown.
He said they took over the Stevens Hotel, which is now known as the Hilton, and developed a radio school.
He was on another cadre that went to Grand Rapids, Mich. where they took some more hotels and made a weather school.
From there he went to Chanute Field in Illinois. They cut down on the food supply soldiers and replaced them with civilians.
After the change they began sending soldiers to school. Geist was sent to radio school at Scott Field and became a flying radio operator. He said that happened just as the war was coming to an end.
He graduated and was assigned to B-29 airplanes but the war was over and he was discharged from Turner Field in Georgia.
After being discharged, Geist moved back to Denver where he bought his own business. He ran an ice cream parlor and small cafe for five years before moving to Holyoke.
He served with Dale Reimer in the service and Reimer wanted some help with his grain business in Holyoke. So in 1951, Geist moved to town and purchased part of the Reimer-Smith Grain Co., where he spent many years.
Geist was born in Ft. Collins and farmed with his dad between there and Wellington before entering the service.
Geist and his wife Irene were married for 56 years when she died in 1997. They have a daughter Janet and son Jack. He has three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Water Meeting Draws Concern From Residents
(LeMars) -- Nearly thirty people attended last night's meeting hosted by the city water committee to discuss the city's proposal to upgrade and change water meters. City administrator Scott Langel and Water Superintendent Gayle Sitzmann briefed the gathering of the city's plan to do away with private water meters. The city offered a proposal for residents that use an irrigation system that if they would want a second water meter that the resident would make a monthly payment of $11.20 per meter. The city residents showed concern for the proposed plan and many indicated they would rather pay for the cost of the water meter up front instead of being charged a fee on a monthly basis. Roberta Kass seemed to speak the opinion of many residents who thought the proposal was unfair to those with an irrigation system.
Listen here
Others, like Bob Schroeder wondered if this was the right time to exchange all the meters in the city, noting the down economy. Schroeder also believes the meeting was simply a formality. His impression is the city council has already made up its mind and the public meeting won't accomplish anyting.
Listen here
City Councilman Ken Nelson attended the meeting. He also sits on the city water committee. Nelson says the water committee has spent perhaps more than 30 hours studying the various scenerios and proposals. As for the question about is this the appropriate time to make such an investment, Nelson says the topic was discussed ten years ago, but it was tabled.
Listen here
December 6th is the day the city council will hear the second reading for the proposal, and December 20 will be the third and final reading.
(LeMars) -- The LeMars Fire Department responded to an alarm at the EconoLodge Motel last night at about 8:30 p.m. Upon arrival, firefighters found smoke in the lower level hallway. The fire alarm for the building was sounding and each of the rooms had been evacuated. Firefighters located the smoke coming from a dryer in the guest laundry room. The dryer vent was plugged causing the dryer to overheat and the smoke spread from the room into the corridor setting off the building's fire alarm system. Firefighters were able to vent the smoke from the hallway, reset the fire alarm and allowed the guest back into the motel. The dryer was unplugged and rendered safe by firefighters. The LeMars Fire Rescue Department was assisted at the scene by the LeMars Police Department and the LeMars Ambulance crew. There were no injuries and damage was minimal only affecting the dryer. Firefighters were on the scene for only a half an hour.
(LeMars) -- LeMars Mayor Dick Kirchoff was the guest speaker at the LeMars Optimist club meeting. Kirchoff attended the meeting to accept the last payment the Optimist Club had committed for the Community Betterment project. The Optimist had made a financial pledge of $25,000 to be paid over the course of ten years. Kirchoff told the civic organization how the community was able to raise more than three million dollars, then the city was able to qualify for matching grants which led to a community investment of nearly eight million dollars. The community betterment project helped finance several facilities. Kirchoff says through the funding, LeMars is able to offer a better quality of life.
Listen here
Kirchoff displayed a plaque recognizing LeMars' efforts as an all-star community. He says he is extremely proud of LeMars for taking the vision of tomorrow and making it happen today. He says of all the pledges, the city has been able to collect on nearly 98 percent.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The threat of a costly national railroad strike during the busy holiday season has been averted after the freight rail industry settled labor disputes with two of its unions and agreed to extend talks with a third. Without the agreements, the railway unions could have begun striking as early as Tuesday, when a federal "cooling off" period was set to expire. Retailers warned that a rail strike would cost businesses and consumers $2 billion a day and prove especially damaging during the most important shipping season of the year. Railroad representatives said its negotiators would try to reach an agreement with the final union before Feb. 8.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The U.S. Labor Department is proposing new rules for child farm workers that would keep many from driving tractors, using big equipment and working with livestock. Labor officials say the rules are needed because farming is one of the nation's most dangerous occupations. The National Safety Council says nearly 29 out of every 100,000 farm workers die on the job.
But farmers say the proposed rules could keep kids from learning about the hard work and responsibility necessary to work on a farm. And, they say, if young people can't get jobs on farms, fewer will develop an interest in agriculture careers. Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Mike Spradling says he knows there are dangers in agriculture, but there are also many important lessons young people can learn.

This extra-long, tree-friendly hanging kit is ideal for everything from backyard naps to backcountry camps. The tough tubular webbing supports up to 400 pounds, and the included stuff sack keeps them organized when you're on the go.

Returned for Atlas straps
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
The straps are definitely high quality, however I was disappointed in the number of loops on the strap. The Atlas straps have almost twice as many loops, making it that much more versatile. If you plan on taking your hammock to a multitude of places, go with the Atlas straps instead.
Hammock Straps
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These work great pack up small and are easy to use. 5 stars if there were a few more loops but I think the updated (newer model)straps take care of that for you. I've had mine for many years now and show very little signs of use.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Really easy to use helps the hammock attach to almost anything.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a nice durable, versatile webbing! I've used this webbing for a while now on multiple hammocks of different makes and styles. It has held up under a pretty hefty amount of weight as well. I've definitely tested the 400 lb limit... check!
There's a better way
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Hard to tension properly, due to the loops being spaced apart as far as they are. Using two metal rings and webbing to create a ratchet is better. Still, these beat the cord that comes with Hennessy hammocks from the factory.
Held us up!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was skeptical these would hold up since there were 2 of us and one of the straps wasn't looped over a branch knob (which it should be) but these suckers held tight. Highly recommend adding them to a double nest purchase and lounging in the sunshine with your favorites!
Chillen After Work
Only one tree in the yard calls for a little improvision...
I laugh at my friends who tie ropes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Then I show them these, and they get jealous and buy a set as soon as we get back from our trip. It's a relatively inexpensive way to make your life better... so why not?? They're also pretty simple strong nylon webbing, so they can serve many purposes out in the woods when not supporting your hammock.
Holds weight
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These straps allow you to set up and adjust a hammock very fast. They are slightly heavier than some similar options but the ease of setup make it worthwhile in my mind. If you are trying to shave every ounce from your backpacking setup you may want to consider something else. I am 200lbs and have not had a problem with these stretching.
Worth Every Penny
Makes hammock set up a breeze.
Adjustable, but heavy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These straps are easy to choose what length you want, because of the many loops, but it makes them heavy. You are also limited to the loops, because they are not easy to adjust in smaller increments. I prefer other setups, like the hammockbliss straps, for the weight. These also have a little more stretch than I would like. However, these things are tough as nails, and I'm not sure there is a longer set of straps on the market.
Super convenient, good price, some cons
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are great, durable, convenient and they should last a lifetime. Only complaint is that they are heavy. If you're looking for an ultralight setup, pass on these and get some paracord and make your own.
Best Straps
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Durable, tons of different ways to sling these make them the easiest most versatile straps. Minimal stretch also means you won't wake up on the ground in the middle of the night.
Roaring Run
Atlas straps > Pros > Normal slap straps
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had my Pros since June of 2012 and at the time it was either the pros or the normal SlapStraps, do yourself a if your trying to bounce between the two and get the pros, they are longer and give you a lot more places to hook your carabineers. The only problem I have with them which is fixed by the Atlas straps is that sometimes in order to get the hammock nice and taunt which is ideal for me I have to go around the tree, post, or whatever else I'm putting the straps on to make sure they are going be the right distance in order to get my hammock how I like it. With the Atlas straps they are the same length as the Pros but instead have double the amount of loops to hook your carabineers which makes adjusting how tight it is much easier. No matter what though these things will hold a ton of weight and will have you laying comfortable in a hammock in no time.
Good system, but stretchy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like most other reviews, I found these to stretch pretty bad... especially when two people jump into the double hammock. You can expect this out of nylon webbing, but it would be nice to see this design made with a spectra/dyneema blend in the future.
Other than the stretch, they are really easy to use and setup. I keep them around for the simplicity, but I prefer using webbing and paracord for a perfect, custom setup.
Hi, Joe. I'm researching hammock systems and am nearly ready to purchase, but I am still undecided as to whether I should spring for these pro straps or just use the 550 cord I got from my local Army surplus. I tend to like the minimalist aspects of backpacking and so often highly value versatility in my gear, as well as weight savings of course. With that in mind would you recommend I go with these or just use the paracord I have? Also, if I go with the cord option, how viable is it to simply tie a bowline in the tree end and run the cord through the loop as it wraps around the tree and then another bowline to attach it directly to the hammock? Or do I need something between the cord and the hammock? Is this the purpose of the webbing you mentioned? Thanks.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I would say everything about these rocks except they stretch a little too much for my liking! They are easy to set up and easy to tear down,easy to adjust if you know how. I love them just wish they stretched less.
Makes the hammock life easy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've tried using other straps with previous hammocks, and have always ended up having issues. They've made using these straps extremely easy, and they're also super compact, light, and durable.
Hyped on my eagle nest hammock set up :)
Makes Hammock Set-Up a Cinch!
I've had the ENO Double Nest Hammock & always struggled to rig it up using cam straps/whatever I could find. These make setting your hammock up a breeze & best of all they pack down nice & small! Was great for our recent backpacking trip in the Uintas.
Like a few other reviewers, I wish there were more attachment points, but overall I am so excited about this product! (ended up getting my husband a set too!)
Not as good as the atlas straps
I bought these for my eno hammock and was disappointed to find that the attachment points are only located every 2 feet or so , resulting in very little adjustment. If you want a super effective and quick hammock strap go with the atlas straps by Eno, it has a lot more attachment points ( every six inches or so) and doesn't seem to sag like the slap strap.
How many attach points does it have?
Hey Jeff,
There are multiple attachment points per strap that enables a versatile hammock setup between two points up to 20 ft. apart. I would say about 8-10 attachment points. I'll count how many on the one I have at home and get back to you on the exact amount of attachment points.

Contemporary and culturally prominent, this town boasting two abbeys (the abbaye aux Hommes and the abbaye aux Dames) deserves its place as a technological, regional and touristic regional capital. Rich in history, it was here that William the Conqueror and his wife Matilda chose to reside. Ravaged by bombardments in the Second World War, Caen's spirit of resistance and vitality is apparent in the shining image it presents to today's visitors.

Contraband (2012)
Contraband SynopsisMark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, a fast-paced thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked so hard to leave behind and the family he'll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling -- full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs -- where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.
Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best--running contraband--to settle Andy's debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.
Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash, Chris must use his rusty skills to successfully navigate a treacherous criminal network of brutal drug lords, cops and hit men before his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and sons become their target.

May 24, 2016
Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Legislature has approved a $200 million settlement that the state received as part of a national agreement reached between major banks and 49 states.
The House Tuesday voted 117-0 for the bill (SB 1852). The Senate had previously approved the measure. It sets aside money for everything from domestic violence shelters to affordable housing programs and Habitat for Humanity.
The money comes from a $25 billion settlement with attorneys general across the nation to end investigations over foreclosure abuses.
The state received $334 million directly under the settlement but Attorney General Pam Bondi and legislators had quietly feuded for months over who would control the money.

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
CA law prohibits harassment and discrimination in the workplace and you do have a legal remedy. Workplace harassment/discrimination is any unwelcome or unwanted conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or an aversion toward another person on the basis of any characteristic protected by law, which includes an individual's race, color, gender, ethnic or national origin, age, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other personal characteristic protected by law. A conduct is considered unwelcome if the employee did not solicit, instigate or provoke it, and the employee regards XXXXX XXXXX as undesirable or offensive.
In CA you have two possible avenues of approach to dealing with discrimination. If your goal is to ultimately sue in Federal Court, then you will file a complaint with the EEOC, and if you want to be in the CA Superior Court---local to your county---then you will file with the DFEH and, if you want to, with the EEOC as well.
You may a formal complaint with the CA Department of Fair Employment and Housing alleging discrimination based on your race and/or national origin. To do this you must first make an appointment with the Department to be interviewed, either over the phone or at a local DFEH office. You may call the DFEH at(NNN) NNN-NNNN or apply on line by using the Department's "Online Appointment System." The system will guide you through questions to determine whether an appointment is right for you. Alternatively, you may file a complaint with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). If your company has 15 or more employees, they are prohibited from discriminating against you. To file a complaint with the EEOC, contact the nearest Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office. To be automatically connected with the nearest office, call(NNN) NNN-NNNN EEOC website: www.eeoc.gov Federal law specifically prohibits discrimination, based upon the Ethnicity, Color, Religion, National Origin, Age, Sex and Disability of an individual, with regard to hiring, promotion and firing.
After you file the complaint, your employer will be prohibited from any retaliatory action against you. The EEOC will investigate your claim, and 180 days after the filing of the complaint you may ask for a "right to sue letter". The EEOC will issue you the letter which gives you the right to institute a private civil action against your employer and seek monetary damages.

Being in charge of the Mariners' infield, in addition to his new duties as acting manager while Eric Wedge convalesces, Robby Thompson was somewhat conflicted on Thursday.
On the one hand, he was obviously delighted with the Mariners' 8-2 win over the Twins at Safeco Field, their ninth victory in 10 games.
On the other hand, it galled Thompson that the Mariners' infield committed three errors, not to mention a couple of other less-than-stellar plays.
So while Thompson praised Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma for bailing out the Mariner defenders during his stout six-inning stint, he also made it clear that the M's need to clean up their defense.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
"I think we were a little bit lackadaisical tonight in the infield,'' he said. "When you get situations where there's three ground balls for double plays, and Iwakuma gets them, they should be turned.
"I'm not frustrated; I think they need to be turned. They know that. I've already talked to them about it. Sometimes that happens, and sometimes we don't have an answer for it. We'll tighten that up tomorrow."
The Mariners had 11 hits, seven for extra bases to match their season high. The biggest blow was a three-run homer in the second inning by Nick Franklin off short-lived Twins starter Kevin Correia, who didn't make it out of the inning.
The Mariners scored six in the second as they blasted three doubles and three singles in addition to Franklin's eighth homer. The last American League rookie second baseman to reach eight homers in his first 49 games was Joe Gordon in 1938, according to Baseball Reference play index.
Franklin connected on an 0-2 pitch.
"Honestly, 0-2, I was just trying to make contact and put the ball in play,'' Franklin said. "The infield was in and I was looking to get the ball in the air and get that run in somehow."
Dustin Ackley had a big game, as well, banging out two of the Mariners' six doubles along with a single. Ackley, who drove in two runs, is 8 for 19 (.421) since the All-Star break.
"I've just continued to work in the cage and continued to get my confidence where it needs to be,'' Ackley said. "I'm going up there with the mentality that I'm going to get a hit every time, and that's really what separates me now from me before."
Iwakuma, meanwhile, continued his career-long dominance of the Twins. He has faced them four times and won all four. Iwakuma (10-4) has not allowed an earned run against Minnesota in 262
3 innings.
In this one, he blanked the Twins on four hits over six innings, striking out nine. The Twins were without three-time batting champion Joe Mauer, who is on paternity leave after his wife gave birth to twin girls on Wednesday.
Besides the defense, about the only unsettling note for the Mariners came when catcher Mike Zunino had to leave the game after the fourth inning. He was taken out for precautionary reasons after taking a foul ball off his left wrist. X-rays were negative, and Zunino will be re-evaluated on Friday.
Iwakuma was undeterred by the Mariners' three errors, two by third baseman Kyle Seager and one by Franklin.
He worked out of several jams, most notably in the third, when the Twins loaded the bases with one out, helped by a Seager miscue. Iwakuma struck out Trevor Plouffe and got Clete Thomas on a ground out.
"A lot of times you have infielders or outfielders pick up the pitcher; well, he definitely picked up our infield tonight,'' Thompson said of Iwakuma.
Said Iwakuma, through his interpreter: "Well, you know, stuff like that happens in this game. It's the long course of a season. When stuff like that happens, you just have to go from there and see how much you can cover up as a pitcher. That's what I had in mind."

Officials across the east looking for the suspects that broke into storage facilities across three counties have released surveillance video.
In the video from a rental storage facility in Lenior County you can see three people in a full-sized Chevy 4-door pick up truck going from
unit to unit taking items.
The Carteret County Sheriff's Office says they aren't releasing what the stolen items are but they beleive the rash of thefts are related based on the nature of what was taken.
In the meantime, the sheriff's office says people with storage units should check their unit and make sure the rental facility has their current contact information. They also recommend investing in a disk lock.
Deputies are working wih Lenoir, Jones and Pitt Counties, along with police in Newport, Kinston, Maysville and Ayden.
Lawmen in four Eastern Carolina counties are working together, trying to solve a rash of storage unit break-ins.
Lenoir County deputies say on Wednesday a rental storage facility on Kennedy Home Road was hit, with the locks of multiple units cut off. Review of surveillance footage showed the thefts actually occurred on Monday.
That video shows three people in a full-sized Chevy 4-door pickup truck. The vehicle is blue with chrome bumpers, and it's pulling a black metal trailer.
To view the surveillance pictures, click the PHOTOS tab at the top of the story
Deputies say they've also learned that similar thefts at storage facilities have also taken place in Carteret, Jones and Pitt counties as well. Lenoir County deputies say they're now working with deputies from Carteret and Jones counties, along with police in Newport, Kinston, Maysville and Ayden on the case.
Anyone with information on these thefts should call Crimestoppers at 252-523-4444 or your local law enforcement agency.

Three people arrested following traffic stop
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 4:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 4:19 p.m.
OCALA - Three people were taken into custody by sheriff's deputies early Thursday following a traffic stop.
Deputies went to North Roads Apartments at 2100 NW First Ave. on a tip that a man with several outstanding warrants might be there.
Deputy Daniel Bowen saw a white Honda Civic come out of the complex and fail to stop before entering traffic, and saw that the driver was not wearing a seat belt. Bowen attempted to stop the car, but it drove away.
A pursuit went down numerous streets. At one point, a man got out of the car and K-9 Deputy Colton Sullivan and his dog Pyro, together with Deputy Clayton Starling, gave chase.
Bowen stopped the car by performing the PIT maneuver in the 1000 block of West County Road 40. Ashley Hollin, 29, the driver, was arrested on charges of fleeing and eluding and driving while license is suspended or revoked. Passenger Jessica Ragins was arrested for having an outstanding warrant for violation of probation for prostitution.
