Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 21:33:33 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Missouri, has a law about obstructive driving, which means anything that can block your driving view and then render the vehicle unsafe to drive. Cracked windshields and hanging things from review mirrors can be considered breaking the law.

The side mirrors should be visible as well.  Any cracks, breaks, or chips in windshields that are more than two inches wide and in th...

NFL Picks: Lamar Jackson, Ravens take control of AFC North, plus a prime-time Super Bowl rematch

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 21:33:33 GMT

Around the AFCBirds soar, Bengals sore. Baltimore hammered Cincinnati Thursday night to take further control of the AFC North. Big-time performance. Just as impactful, though, was Cincinnati losing star quarterback Joe Burrow to an apparent right hand injury. Depending on the severity, it could change the complexion of the AFC postseason race. In fact, it already did. The Bengals were trailing when he got hurt, but had no chance of keeping up once he left the game. Now they’re 5-5 and the Ravens, led by MVP candidate Lamar Jackson (264 passing yards, two TDs, 54 rushing yards) are 8-3.Black and silver (and winning). The Raiders have won two straight since Antonio Pierce took over for fired head coach Josh McDaniels. It wasn’t pretty against the Jets, but hey, Las Vegas is 5-5 now. Only trouble? The next two before a bye week are at Miami and home against Kansas City. If Pierce gets those two – or, heck, even if he splits — that’ll be a major accomplishment for the interi...

Chino Valley school board enacts controversial book 'ban' policy

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 21:33:33 GMT

The Chino Valley Unified School Board has voted to create a process that could lead to books and other teaching materials getting pulled over “sexually obscene” content, or even political material.The controversial policy, which some critics equate to a book ban, was enacted Thursday night and lays out steps for how schools deal with complaints lodged by parents and students. When someone comes forward, the student is first excused from using the material in question, the new policy states. Ultimately, a district panel comprised of administrators, teachers, librarians and community members could decide to remove it permanently.Among the reasons teaching material could get banned include not being deemed "age-appropriate," being "contrary to the moral and ethical standards generally held by the community," or presenting "one-sided" political views. In July, Chino Valley's right-leaning board enacted another controversial policy - one that would have required schools to notify parents...
