Supreme Court lets tipped employees sue for more pay
The Supreme Court will allow bartenders and servers who make part of their money from tips file lawsuits for more money when they do work that doesn't involve tips.
The high court refused to hear an appeal from Applebee's International, which wanted to overturn a lower court ruling.
Restaurants consider tips part of some employees' salary to get the pay up to the minimum wage. But if a worker spends 20% of the time doing general maintenance and preparation work, they currently get full minimum wage.
Gerald Fast and more than 5,500 other current and former servers and bartenders at Applebee's restaurants sued, saying that opening and closing restaurants, as well as cleaning and stocking, consumed significant work time and Applebee's should pay them additional wages.
The lower courts refused to dismiss the complaint and the high court agreed.

Split over union law reaches Wis. court race
The slim margin between Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser and his challenger, JoAnne Kloppenburg, has grown slightly in favor of the incumbent as late election numbers are tallied.
But the race that reflected Wisconsin's fight over union rights is still too close to call Wednesday morning. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, conservative-leaning Prosser is leading Kloppenburg by 835 votes. Final, official results could vary and a recount appears likely.
The race highlights the divide in the state over Republican Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining law, which would strip public workers of nearly all their union rights. The issue, which could ultimately be decided by the state Supreme Court, has propelled the relatively unknown Kloppenburg into prominence and heightened voter interest in the election.

“MUD SLIDE DISASTERS – The Logan Canal Story”
This is a tragic story of Government and Corporate Irresponsibility that resulted in the clearly preventable deaths of three innocent Logan, Utah residents, Jackie Leavey, Age 43, and her 2 children, Victor Age 13, and Abbey Age 12.
Everyone in authority at the city, the State University, the Department of Transportation, and the local canal company knew there was a serious problem with the Logan canal, in Logan, Utah.
In the days preceding the mudslide, officials had visited the site and had seen the water squirting 10 feet high into the air because it was under so much pressure in the canal.
They all knew the danger of a mudslide in that particular area. It had happened before-they knew it would happen again, soon. Folks in the affected neighborhood kept calling the city. Call after call and nobody cared.
No one took action, no one did a thing. Then the unthinkable occurred. A mudslide of tremendous proportions dropped on a home, killing a mother and her two children.
It took days to sift through the mud, trying to recover their bodies. Folks were somber and reflective. But then the finger pointing began. Each department blamed another for not taking action. Only it was too late, too late to save the mother and her children.

Court rejects bid to remove judge in Pitino case
A federal appeals court has rejected a bid to remove the judge overseeing the case of a woman convicted of trying to extort millions from University of Louisville coach Rick Pitino.
The two-page decision issued Monday by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals also turned down a request by Karen Cunagin Sypher to delay her sentencing, which is set for Feb. 18.
Sypher was convicted in August of extortion, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness. Prosecutors said she sought millions in cash, cars and a house from Pitino to stay quiet about their one-night stand at a Louisville restaurant in 2003.
Her attorney, David Nolan, has filed multiple motions alleging a wide-ranging conspiracy involving Pitino, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Simpson III and multiple people involved in the case. Prosecutors have called Sypher's claims meritless.

Voters to narrow Supreme Court candidate field
Wisconsin has focused on the Green Bay Packers and Gov. Scott Walker for the last month, but another fight with perhaps just as much impact on the state is about to take center stage -- the state Supreme Court primary.
Justice David Prosser faces three challengers. Voters on Tuesday will choose two survivors who will face off in April's general election. The winner gets a 10-year term on the court.
The primary has played out in the background as the Packers charged to a Super Bowl title and Walker proposed doing away with state workers' unions. But the general election could ultimately tilt the ideological balance of the court for years to come.
State election officials expect about 10 percent of the state's voters will venture to the polls Tuesday.
