THE KANSAS SEATBELT LAW MAY BE GETTING A MAKEOVER. THIS NEW LAW WOULD ALLOW OFFICERS TO PULL A DRIVER OVER ONLY FOR NOT WEARING THEIR SEAT BELT. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN ONLY GET A SEAT BELT CITATION IF YOU ARE PULLED OVER FOR SOMETHING ELSE. THE FINE WILL ALSO DOUBLE TO $60. ANOTHER PART OF THE LAW WOULD REQUIRE ANYONE ABOVE THE AGE OF 14 TO WEAR THEIR SEATBELT. RIGHT NOW IT ONLY REQUIRES ADULTS IN THE FRONT SEATS.
ANOTHER LAW GETTING FIXED IS JESSICA’S LAW…WHICH IS GIVES STRICTER PENALTIES FOR SEX CRIMES WITH A CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 14. IT PASSED YESTERDAY WITH A 119 TO 0VOTE.

THE BILL ALSO ADDS ATTEMPTED OF ACTUAL CRIMINAL SOLICITATION OF A CHILD TO QUALIFY FOR THE SENTENCE.
THE TALIBAN'S TOP MILITARY COMMANDER HAS BEEN ARRESTED ACCORDING TO REPORTS. MULLAH ABDUL GHANI BARADER WAS CAPTURED 10 DAYS AGO IN THE SOUTHERN PAKISTANI CITY OF KARACHI.

ACCORDING TO US AND PAKISTANI OFFICIALS BARADER'S ARREST WAS A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND PAKISTANI INTELLIGENCE. BARADER HAS BEEN TALKING TO INTERROGATORS.
RESCUE EFFORTS RESUMED TODAY IN WASHINGTON TO RETRIEVE A MAN TRAPPED IN THE CRATER AT MOUNT SAINT HELEN'S. ALTHOUGH AUTHORITIES HAVEN'T RELEASED HIS NAME… THEY SAY THE WASHINGTON MAN IS AN EXPERIENCED HIKER WHO THEY BELIEVE FELL INTO THE CRATER WHILE POSING FOR A PICTURE. HIGH WINDS MONDAY DELAYED EFFORTS TO RETRIEVE THE MAN WHO WASN'T MOVING AT LAST SIGHT. WHILE OFFICIALS AGREE THE MAN IS IN DANGER SAINT HELEN'S ERUPTED FOR THE LAST TIME IN 1980 AND HAS BEEN DORMANT EVER SINCE.
COLD HANDS MAKE CATCHING BEAD DIFFICULT. DESPITE TEMPERATURES NOT GETTING MUCH HIGHER THAN 50 TODAY…THAT’S NOT STOPPING THE PARTY. LAST NIGHT PARADES WENT LATE INTO THE NIGHT AND PEOPLE STAYED ON BOURBON STREET UNTIL EVEN LATER. PEOPLE WERE ALSO STAKING OUT THEIR AREAS FOR THE FESTIVITIES TO RESUME TODAY AS MARDI GRAS GETS UNDERWAY. ONE OF THE MARCHING CLUBS IN THE PARADE, PETE FOUNTAIN’S “HALF FAST WALKING CLUB” IS CELEBRATING ITS 50TH YEAR IN THE PARADE.
WEDDING BELLS WILL BE RINGING IN NICOLE RICHIE AND JOEL MADDEN’S FUTURE. THE COUPLE, WHO’S BEEN TOGETHER FOR THREE YEARS AND HAVE TWO CHILDREN, ARE OFFICIALLY ENGAGED. MADDEN SAID IN A TWEET YESTERDAY THAT THEY’VE ACTUALLY “BEEN ENGAGED FOR A WHILE.” RICHIE TOLD DAVID LETTERMAN LAST NIGHT ON HIS SHOW. BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN RUMORS WERE FLYING OF AN ENGAGEMENT RICHIE SAID “ONE DAY I WOULD LOVE TO GET MARRIED.” IT LOOKS LIKE THAT DAY ISN’T SO FAR OFF ANYMORE.
