You’ve probably seen them on your social media feed – those crazy cheap flight deals, some as low as .99. Those deals often seem too good to be true, so what’s the catch? Skyler McKinley with AAA says airlines offer cheap flights for various reasons. It might to fill seats that aren’t booked, or it could be to compete with other airlines. “Airlines aren't going to be in the business in losing money,” said McKinley. “With them offering these very cheap seats, it's not because they love you so much, it’s because it’s in their economic interest to offer these reduce seats.”Despite why they do it, McKinley says these deals can be worth it for some fliers. If you are flexible, these deals are for you."Typically, you will see blackout dates like you can't fly surrounding Christmas. You can't fly on Friday. You can't fly on Saturday. You have to fly on Tuesday,” said McKinley. “All of those restrictions are in place because airlines are able to fill those high in demand flights on their own. You’re getting this deal because it's a less desirable leg.”Other restrictions might be on how many bags you’re allowed to take, and the baggage fee may be high to make up for the low-cost ticket.For example, we found a Spirit Airlines deal page that offers a one-way ticket for , but you had to forgo bags and you weren’t able to pick the seat of your liking.However, there are ways to use these offers to your advantage."If I bundle it, I get to do what we typically think when we book a flight,” McKinley. “I get to pick my seat, bring some luggage on and that adds per person per way. All the airlines have a deal page, so if you have a preferred airline, you can find a deal."These deals can be a little restrictive, but you can sign up for notifications for flight deals from your airport in case it fits your next trip.Ultimately, yes, these deals will save you money, but not as much as advertised. "Don't be disappointed when a deal that said , , , ends up being twice that or more by the time you enter in your credit card details and pay."Another way you can save and get better deals is by booking one-way tickets. When you book round-trip, typically bundling flights can cost more because you are limiting your flight route and airline. 2284

Zach Balogh and his roommate were sitting in their living room in Clemson, South Carolina, as winds started to howl when they heard the piercing beeps and buzzes of storm alerts.They ran to their window to take in the tumultuous scene outside. Across the street at a restaurant, the Esso Club, employees were struggling to secure a tent to the ground during the storm.Balogh started filming and was astounded when seconds later the strong winds physically swept two people off of their feet.The winds flung a man up in the air higher than the roof of the Esso Club and threw him on the side of the building.As the man, Samuel Foster, released the tent leg he was holding onto, he ended up hitting the gutter, followed by an abrupt landing, Balogh's video shows.Foster told 785

(AP) — Scamp the Tramp will never win a beauty contest. But he's won an ugly one.The bug-eyed, dreadlocked pooch took top honors Friday night at the 31st annual World's Ugliest Dog Contest.Owner Yvonne Morones of Santa Rosa, California, won an appearance with Scamp on the "Today" show, ,500 in cash, another ,500 to donate to an animal shelter — and a trophy the size of a Rottweiler."He's Scamp the Champ, no longer Scamp the Tramp," Morones told the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat after the victory. "I think the audience saw his beautiful spirit and everything he's given back to the community."Scamp makes volunteer visits to schoolchildren and a local senior citizens center.PHOTOS: The World's Ugliest Dog contestants and winners over the yearsThe street dog from Compton was rescued by Morones in 2014 after she spotted him on Pet Finder."It was on the way home that I knew I made the right choice," she said in a contest press statement. "There we were, two strangers in a car on the way home to a new start. Bob Marley was playing 'One Love' and I looked over and little Scamp was bobbing his head. It was like he knew he had found his forever home."Scamp beat out 18 other contestants who showed off their droopy tongues, bowed legs, perpetually confused looks and other strange attributes.The contestants got to walk the red carpet and preen for adoring fans at Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in the heart of Northern California wine country.The competition, as they say, was fierce.Second place went to Wild Thang, a Pekinese with beady eyes and a disturbing tongue, owned by Ann Lewis of Los Angeles.Third place went to Tostito, a Chihuahua whose damaged ears and droopy tongue make him look like he just stuck his foot into an electrical socket. Tostito, owned by Molly Horgan of Falmouth, Maine, also won the Spirit Award.This year's People's Choice Award went to Meatloaf, a bulldog mix with protruding teeth owned by Denae Pruner of Sacramento, California.Everyone knows ugliness is in the eye of the beholder and, to a dog lover, there is no such thing as an uncomely canine. Weird-looking, maybe. Appearance-challenged, perhaps. Or, as owners of ugly dogs like to say, "unique."Like Willie Wonka, a sweet-natured pit bull abandoned after he was discovered to have a genetic malady that left his legs so bowed he could barely walk.With a chuckle, publicist Christy Gentry said the competition wasn't just about being ugly."Judges are looking for special attributes like hanging tongues, slobber, drool (the more the better). Maybe unusual patches of skin or hair," she explained.Last year's champion, an English bulldog named Zsa Zsa, with a tongue that hung nearly to the ground, endeared herself to the judges when she sneezed and drooled all over them.Soon she was headed to New York for national TV appearances. Sadly, Zsa Zsa died about a year ago at age 9.Another previous winner, Nana, made the cover of an album by the Grateful Dead spinoff band Ratdog.Organizers say the contest isn't just skin-deep. It's also about bringing attention to the needs of rescue dogs.Most competitors were previously abandoned or rescued from kill shelters in the U.S., found abandoned on streets or seized from unscrupulous breeders."What we're really doing is we're showcasing dogs that have been rescued and adopted and brought into loving homes," Gentry said. "These are sort of spokesdogs for adoption." 3417

(AP) — Embers falling on their heads, Venesa Rhodes and her husband had seconds to rush their two beloved cats into their SUV before a wildfire last summer would overtake them all.One cat got in. But the other, named Bella, bolted and disappeared as the blaze bore down. The couple had no choice but to flee, and their home and much of the neighborhood in Redding, California, soon was reduced to ash.Rhodes and her husband, Stephen Cobb, presumed Bella was dead. Devastated by their losses, they moved 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to Rhodes' hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, to start over.Nearly six weeks later, they got a call that left them gobsmacked: Bella was alive. Volunteers had put out a feeding station at Rhodes' burned-out property, staked it out after spotting the cat, and then trapped her."I started bawling," Rhodes said from Anchorage, where Bella was curled up in a corner sleeping. "We were shocked. We were just so overjoyed and just hoping she was OK."Rhodes and Cobb are among dozens of people who lost their homes in the deadly Carr Fire but had their lives brightened weeks or months later when their pets were found.A network of about 35 volunteers — called Carr Fire Pet Rescue and Reunification — is responsible for many of the happy endings, which continue more than two months after firefighters extinguished the blaze, which destroyed more than 1,000 homes and killed six people.The group formed with the help of another volunteer animal group born out of the devastating Tubbs Fire, which killed at least 22 people and destroyed thousands of homes last year in wine country north of San Francisco.Robin Bray, a field coordinator for the Carr Fire group, said about 80 pets have been reunited with their families using social media and specially made kiosks in Redding where images of found pets are posted. Most are cats that have "been through hell," she said.Bray said each new reunion fuels her and the other volunteers, many of whom use their own money to trap and treat the animals."We've seen amazing things," Bray said. "We're finding cats that were in a house and the owners presumed they had passed. The heat of fire breaks windows in houses and cats jump out and run and hide. They're survivalists."The volunteers go to elaborate lengths to catch the animals, which often are traumatized and injured. Equipped with night-vision cameras, traps and lots of food for bait, the volunteers stake out an area where a missing pet has been spotted, waiting for the right moment to drop a trap.They won a hard-fought rescue of a dog nicknamed Buddy on Oct. 27 after he had eluded capture for weeks. They tried luring him with steak and french fries, another dog and a pickup truck like the one his owner drove before finally nabbing him.It was a two-woman, two-hour operation. One woman crawled on the ground and placed food under a trap and the other waited in a truck and pulled a rope to complete the capture.Bray, a private pilot by day, once spent nearly seven hours trapping a cat. The wait was worth it, she said."So many of these people have lost everything," Bray said. "The only thing they care about is finding their pet that they love. They want that hope back in their lives and we're trying to provide that."Jessica Pierce, a Lyons, Colorado-based bioethicist who studies end-of-life issues involving humans and their pets, said losing a beloved animal and a home is a double whammy of grief."To then be reunited with a pet you thought was gone, that would be like getting a piece of your home back," she said. "For many people, pets are a sense of home, and they identify home with a sense of comfort and peace."Steve and Susan Cortopassi were reunited with their cat, Big Ernie, on Oct. 3, more than two months after the fire started. Their other cat, Elsa, was found about three weeks after the fire, which destroyed their home of 30 years.The Cortopassis had to evacuate in the middle of the night. They grabbed their two dogs but weren't able to track down the cats. A friend showed Cortopassi cellphone video of her destroyed home a couple days after the fire and she figured the cats were gone forever."It was just complete and utter devastation," she said. "It's just a miracle they're alive. It's like, life finds a way."Rhodes got her call on Sept. 2, 41 days after the fire began. Bella, who is 2, had some burns on her belly, her long black hair was singed to medium length and she was underweight. Her formerly gray paws are now permanently pink.When she was found, Rhodes and Cobb drove to Redding over five days with their other cat, Mama, so the whole family could be reunited. After staying in a hotel for another five days to make sure Bella was OK, the whole family returned to Alaska."We have friends that don't even like cats thinking how crazy we were and we just said, 'They're part of our family,'" Rhodes said. "I lost a lot. Thank goodness we did get Bella back because our hearts were just sunken." 4981

(AP) — As vice president in 2012, Joe Biden endeared himself to many LGBTQ Americans by endorsing same-sex marriage even before his boss, President Barack Obama. Now, as president-elect, Biden is making sweeping promises to LGBTQ activists, proposing to carry out virtually every major proposal on their wish lists. One is to lift the Trump administration’s near-total ban on military service for transgender people. Biden also is backing a bill passed by the House last year that would extend federal anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ people nationwide. But most Senate Republicans are wary, due in part to opposition from religious conservatives who say the measure threatens religious liberty. 711
