Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 20, 1942, Lt. Edward "Butch" O'Hare became the U.S. Navy's first flying ace of World War II by shooting down five Japanese bombers while defending the aircraft carrier USS Lexington in the South Pacific. (O'Hare, a recipient of the Medal of Honor, was killed in action in 1943; Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is named for him.)
On this date:
In 1792, President George Washington signed an act creating the United States Post Office Department.
In 1816, the opera buffa "The Barber of Seville" by Gioachino Rossini premiered in Rome under its original title, "Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution."
In 1862, William Wallace Lincoln, the 11-year-old son of President Abraham Lincoln and first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, died at the White House, apparently of typhoid fever.
In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an immigration act which excluded "idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons" from being admitted to the United States.
In 1915, the Panama Pacific International Exposition opened in San Francisco (the fair lasted until December).
In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's decision to negotiate with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. Rabinowitz, ruled 5-3 that authorities making a lawful arrest did not need a warrant to search and seize evidence in an area that was in the "immediate and complete control" of the suspect.
In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Project Mercury's Friendship 7 spacecraft.
In 1971, the National Emergency Warning Center in Colorado erroneously ordered U.S. radio and TV stations off the air; some stations heeded the alert, which was not lifted for about 40 minutes.
In 1987, a bomb left by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski exploded behind a computer store in Salt Lake City, seriously injuring store owner Gary Wright. Soviet authorities released Jewish activist Josef Begun.
In 1998, Tara Lipinski of the U.S. won the ladies' figure skating gold medal at the Nagano Olympics; fellow American Michelle Kwan won the silver.
In 2003, a fire sparked by pyrotechnics broke out during a concert by the group Great White at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, killing 100 people and injuring about 200 others.

Five years ago: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (dih-MEE'-tree med-VYEH'-dyev) held an unprecedented meeting with opposition leaders, who said they were encouraged by his promises to make it easier for anti-Kremlin parties to take part in elections. Former senator and astronaut John Glenn celebrated the 50th anniversary of his history-making space flight at Ohio State University by kicking off a forum about NASA's future.
One year ago: Six people were shot to death in the Kalamazoo, Michigan, area; an Uber driver is charged with murder and attempted murder in the apparently random attacks. Donald Trump barreled to victory in South Carolina's Republican primary; Hillary Clinton pulled out a crucial win over Bernie Sanders in Nevada's Democratic caucuses. A funeral Mass was held for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. Lindsey Vonn clinched a record 20th World Cup crystal globe title in La Thuile (lah tweel), Italy, surpassing Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark.

There are some interesting new rules surrounding the Daytona 500 this season. As will be the case with all races in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series this year, there will be three stages to the race, with points being awarded after each.
Kenny Bruce of NASCAR's website broke down how the point system will work with multiple stages:
Upon the completion of each of the first two stages, drivers finishing first through 10th will be awarded additional points (10th for first, nine for second, etc.) that will be included in their final total for that race only. Additionally, one point per stage win will be awarded to those drivers qualifying for the 10-race playoff at the end of the season. Race-winning drivers also will earn five bonus points per win to be applied following the completion of the regular season.
For Daytona, there will be two 60-lap stages, followed by an 80-lap final stage.
According to NASCAR senior vice president Scott Miller, Daytona's stages were specifically set at 40 percent, 40 percent and 60 percent in order to play to the excitement of the race.
"We had to kind of set the stages to where they landed as far away from a fuel window as they possibly could-so the teams could either make it to the stage finish or guaranteed that they would have to stop before they made it to the stage finish so we wouldn't turn these races into fuel-mileage races," Miller explained , per Bob Pockrass of ESPN.com.
Other new rules at Daytona this year affect how cars can be repaired during the race. Cars may no longer go to the garage to fix damage. Instead, they're given a five-minute window to fix problems on the pit road. If repairs take longer than five minutes or require more than six crew members to help fix the vehicle, the car will be pulled from the race.
New body components, such as panels, are not allowed. Cars will be able to visit the repair garage to fix mechanical or electrical issues that were not the result of a collision.

If you’ve ever been so blessed to feel the semi-soft touch of cheap Snuggie fleece against your skin, you likely weren’t wondering whether or not it should be classified as clothing or a blanket — you were just immersed in peak coziness. The Justice Department, however, took a break from more frivolous matters at hand to finally take on the pressing matter of Snuggie categorization.

Strangest thing is the Warden basically works for a foreign government and she has Presidents Day and MLK Day both off neither of which did she ever get off with the company before the takeover.And it's still less days off that the company probably gives at their home location.
I remember when some companies used to give off Good Friday, much of Europe still does as well as Easter Monday and a number of other Christian holidays.

why can't they just let them take their fastest car and go as fast as the can and whoever crosses the finish line wins?

next thing you know they'll be putting road signs on the track, Yield Right Of Way, Merge Left, Watch For Slow Vehicles.It's a new world out there Dean!I'm confused. isn't that how NASCAR started? now when they race it looks like a bowling alley with bumpers in the gutters.Because that might make car racing too dangerous, sheesh Dean what are you thinking?@ NASCAR Fans, some interesting new Cup Rules for this year, they might actually add some interest to the racing. This is a good overview with the first thing noted is a new Name for the series: Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (guess Sprint was too broke to continue).
There are some interesting new rules surrounding the Daytona 500 this season. As will be the case with all races in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series this year, there will be three stages to the race, with points being awarded after each.
Kenny Bruce of NASCAR's website broke down how the point system will work with multiple stages:
Upon the completion of each of the first two stages, drivers finishing first through 10th will be awarded additional points (10th for first, nine for second, etc.) that will be included in their final total for that race only. Additionally, one point per stage win will be awarded to those drivers qualifying for the 10-race playoff at the end of the season. Race-winning drivers also will earn five bonus points per win to be applied following the completion of the regular season.
For Daytona, there will be two 60-lap stages, followed by an 80-lap final stage.
According to NASCAR senior vice president Scott Miller, Daytona's stages were specifically set at 40 percent, 40 percent and 60 percent in order to play to the excitement of the race.
"We had to kind of set the stages to where they landed as far away from a fuel window as they possibly could-so the teams could either make it to the stage finish or guaranteed that they would have to stop before they made it to the stage finish so we wouldn't turn these races into fuel-mileage races," Miller explained , per Bob Pockrass of ESPN.com.
Other new rules at Daytona this year affect how cars can be repaired during the race. Cars may no longer go to the garage to fix damage. Instead, they're given a five-minute window to fix problems on the pit road. If repairs take longer than five minutes or require more than six crew members to help fix the vehicle, the car will be pulled from the race.
New body components, such as panels, are not allowed. Cars will be able to visit the repair garage to fix mechanical or electrical issues that were not the result of a collision.
why can't they just let them take their fastest car and go as fast as the can and whoever crosses the finish line wins?
surprised they don't put GPS in the cars so they know where they're going.

one shed is an old tin thing, the other is a custom shed, real nice but off in the back of the 1/2 acre lot.Chit, add a screen door then put you a wood stove in there for the cool days and nights and a ceiling fan for summer and you will be set.

It did take me about 90 minutes though.I was supposed to be studying this week but instead I opted to fix the running toilet in the half bath. Finally done.It took you a week to fix a toilet?

But it's original to the house. If I could find the right stopper, it'll be fine. I once bought one from a local hardware store and it lasted me about 8 years. He's still in business (barely) but doesn't stock those stoppers any longer. I should see if he could special order it for me.Yeah, that toilet is older than Dean so about time to think about updatingThe one upstairs leaks too but it's not easy to find the right stopper for it.

They say law-abiding gun owners should be allowed to take their weapons to airports, government meetings and state universities, and would be in a better position to protect themselves and others if a mass shooting should erupt in one of those places.
"Anytime you create a gun-free zone, you essentially are creating a safe haven for mass shooters and the criminal element and you put law-abiding people at a disadvantage," said Marion Hammer, who has lobbied for the National Rifle Association for more than 42 years.
There are about two dozen gun-related bills filed ahead of next month's 60-day legislative session and the vast majority would expand gun rights so they can be carried, as one opponent said, "pretty much everywhere."
"If it's a reaction to the Pulse shooting and Fort Lauderdale, it's a very odd reaction," said Patti Brigham, a vice president at the League of Women Voters of Florida and co-chair of the Florida Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence. "It's like bad gun bills on steroids."
