Did you here about a New Flea Market that is going on in Star?

What's your take on this story...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) _ Among the most notorious on-screen gaffes ever, Janet Jackson's breast-baring "wardrobe malfunction" on CBS during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show drew a $550,000 indecency fine from the Federal Communications Commission. Now a federal appeals court has thrown it out.

A panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that the FCC "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity, which it noted lasted just over half a second. An estimated 90 million people watching the Super Bowl heard Justin Timberlake sing, "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song," as he reached for Jackson's bustier.

The court said the FCC deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so "pervasive as to amount to 'shock treatment' for the audience."

Duke University law professor Stuart M. Benjamin, a telecommunications law expert, called the decision "a slap in face for the FCC....

Immigration agents essentially leave illegal immigrants alone if they're hiding out in churches. What do you think of that policy?

The new iPhone 3G released this morning at 8am. Is it worth camping out over night or standing in line for hours just to be one of the first to get one???
I haven't quite grasped the idea of why people do this. It's not like there is only limited stock- they are still selling the original version! Maybe it's the new pricing that is significantly lower than the first $199 for 8GB and $299 for 16GB- who knows!
All I know is I don't think it's that important to brave the heat for a phone... what about you???

Truth or rumor? Was the latest sweep that netted 200 people to pick up big-time criminals or just a cover for tracking down illegals?

Anybody know about children's spanish lessons that don't cost a fortune? Everything I find is so expensive and I would love to get my son into spanish lessons. Does anyone know somebody that has good references that may do this on the side?

I'm looking for a good low calorie apple crisp recipe. I've found a few on the web but nothing really wonderful and I'm not the best cook. :) Any good recipes that I might be able to try?

Hey, I'm just wondering who will have fresh produce at our local Farmer's Markets? My garden is growing great guns but I don't have cukes and tomatoes yet. Anyone have the scoop?

Does anyone know anything about motor scooters? Specifically, what kind of gas mileage they get, how fast they go, and about how much they cost, and can you get down the freeway on one of them?

Just wondering what you're doing (creatively) to cut costs now that gas is soooo high. Don't want to do things that are depressing, but I really need to be saving money whenever and whereever I can !

Having a summer fun kid's party and wanted some good idea's on some fun kids appetizers. I need some things to go with mini hot dog wraps! Any ideas???

So who do you think will win the Sheriff's race in Canyon County?
Call it a bad dream, but I keep thinking Nourse is going to win. I just hope that's not the case on May 27.

We've had several dog attacks recently. Do you believe cities should have specific laws governing ownership of certain breeds?

It's shaping up to be a pretty good one! For starters, who do you believe?

The candidate or the paper?

I think it might be time to replace them all — well nearly all of them. There might be one spot out there where the incumbent is worthy of staying....

anyone want to weigh in? Come on....I dare you...I double dare you!

This week will be the start of the IRS sending out tax rebates. They tell everyone to go out and spend it to raise the economy, but alot of people are planning to save it. What are you going to do with it?

I'm pretty fed up with the discussion on the Nampa Library. I don't understand why the Library board can't make up its mind. I don't like the fact that people have to ask for a couple of books that may help them.

Sex is a natural act. So why are people worried about others who might read something about sex? Sure, some of those "unnatural acts" aren't something the Christian Right approves of, but why is it their business who does what?

Are these moralists afraid their church going friends having some fun?

Get real! There's more to life than just those two books. People should spend more time experimenting with sex than worrying about what's on the shelves at the library.

What do you think of The College of Idaho's plans for a "Low Carbon Diet" in its cafes? Does the move meet an important need or does it go overboard?

What's the deal with trichotillomania? Any comments, questions, or experiences with this disease? Please share!

What is with people not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks? Living next to a school on a fairly busy street, I see this on a daily basis. Not only do I see it, it happens to me. Nobody stops, let alone slow down. Its going to take a tragedy, before people realize when you see someone attempting to cross, stop for them.

Why do you think there has been such an increase in home invasions over the last couple of months? It seems like every couple of days there is one in the news. It's unsettling.

How many times have you been in a school zone and a car speeds through there like a sign was never posted? Or you are driving 20-25 mph, the posted speed limit in the zone and a car is tailgating you with little patience? Are school signs foreign to some people in the Treasure Valley?
Unfortunately, the police can not be stationed in school zones all of the time to monitor the traffic, nor should they have to. I am glad that in some school zones they have now installed the flashing light that seems to slow more motorists down.
I get so frustrated with people who do not obey these signs posted for the children's protection. What is it saying about how we feel about our youth?

Canyon County has a lot of new restaurants. Which one should I not miss?
