That said, the problem is in poor drainage areas youll see just these little rivers develop so that is going to be a headache. It will help to tap down snow totals but it is going to be a mess. Your day today, not a mess but take the rain gear. We have these afternoon showers rolling in after that mix of sun and clouds and patchy fog to start the day, then the winds will shift to northwest wind tonight and that northwest wind will accomplish clearing but it will be cooler look at that 37 and then tomorrow, youre just at 47, the problem is oh, boy, look at this guy. Sun in the area so our localprognosticators generally in Staten Island chuck they could actually see their shadow. I know.

It is time to start thinking about filing for your taxes. But before you send your info to uncle sam there are alex denis is here with the warning. That was a touchdown. If youre traveling here its hard to believe but its that time of the year again tax time but that also means thieves are on the hunt to steal your well earned refund. Now before you file your taxes, there are some things youll need to know that can keep your identity safe. Millions will soon put their most sensitive personal and Financial Information in the hands of uncle sam thats why its so important to choose a tax preparer wisely. The irs says to lock for an irs preparer, tax identification number, avoid people who base their fee on a percentage of your refund, and note, if your preparer doesnt ask for receipts. Not asking enough questions about deductions and credits could be a warning sign that something is wrong. Also, never sign a blank tax return. Tax time is also prime season for Identity Theft. Never give your personal information over the phone or online unless you started the conversation and confirmed the identity of your tax if information on your return is missing or wrong, that could also be a red flag. Common examples of Identity Theft from tax returns, finding out more than one return was filed for one person in a year, or seeing more tax owed or refund offset for a year you didnt file, another seems like a good thing but its not. Irs records pointing to more wages than actually earned. It could mean someone was using your information to steal your money. Well if you think someone has used your identity experts say you should contact the irs immediately and put a fraud alert on your Credit Report so its the last thing you want. Last thing. Its gotten a little easier over the last couple years but before, it took years to clear up. I was Maria Gonzalez for a very long time. She stole my identity out of miami.

Former new jersey mayor frank ryan says its been 71 years since he took out a library book and as he recently found out, its also been 71 years since he returned one. My daughter found it up as long as live lived nobody has ever said anything to me about the book. That book hes referring to is called football through the years. Ryan says he signed it out on june 8 of 1944 and completely forgot he had it, until his wife died in december an his daughter started going through her keepsakes. She says you know youre a little late with this book. I said dont tell anybody. I said because i dont want to go to jail. But ryan says his son picked up the phone and turned him in. The first i heard was that he was concerned he would go to jail, which he will not. I can assure him. But what about the late fee . The going rate in is 0. 10 a day but the head librarian says ryan doesnt have to worry about that either. The Library System actually caps their fines for an overdue book at 10. It all comes as good news for ryan who says he considers especially since he met his wife shortly after taking it out. She was the head cheerleader for two years and i was the quarterback. And now, the book is a nice way to remember. This book is so old. Its in good shape. This is what we used to play with. I threw four touchdown passes. As for whether football through the years will reenter circulation . The library says it would have to evaluate its value to the community but only if ryan chooses not to keep it. You know whats funny i went back and got game film of that game reviewing those four touchdown passes. I wish you did. [laughter] thats great. It would be about 3000 for that book for late fee. Hes all right though. Hes totally fine. What do you do . Its a funny story and nice sentimental value of the book and his wife. Dont forget to support your im at my Library Every week and i love it.
