WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY
Police Capture "Bonnie & Clyde" Bank Robbers: A “Bonnie & Clyde” couple wanted for multiple robberies on the east coast were captured Monday after a police chase ended near Philly International Airport, according to investigators. Police say Jennifer Carrier, 37, and her husband Joseph Carrier, 37, robbed a Citizens Bank on the 1600 block of Marsh Road in Wilmington, Delaware shortly after noon. The suspects fled the scene in a brown Buick Encore and were located by Delaware State police officers who began to pursue, investigators said. The chase continued on I-95 north where Pennsylvania State Police officers joined the pursuit, according to officials. The suspects then crashed into several vehicles along I-95 in Delaware County near Philadelphia International Airport and came to a final stop, police said. Delaware State Police officers and the FBI took the suspects and the vehicle, which police say was stolen, into custody. The husband and wife were later transported back to Delaware, officials said. Police say the husband and wife were wanted for multiple robberies in four different states. The couple allegedly stole over $4,000 from a bank in Ludlow, Massachusetts on Sept. 28, $500 from a bank in Palm Coast, Florida and $5,000 from a bank in Aberdeen, Maryland.

White House, Congressional Leaders Reach Budget Deal: Congressional leaders have reached a tentative budget deal with the White House in a breakthrough that would set government funding levels for the next two years and extend the nation's debt limit through 2017, avoiding routine talks of a government shutdown. The 144-page bipartisan funding bill, labeled a "discussion draft," was posted online just before midnight setting up a potential vote in the House as early as Wednesday. If approved, the agreement would be a milestone after years of gridlock and annual threats of government shutdowns. Government funding is set to expire on December 11th, while the debt limit deadline is November 3rd, according to the Treasury Department.
TODAY'S TALKER
Snow Plows Set to Go High Tech this Winter: The first snowfall might be weeks away, but PennDOT has high-tech plans to make winter plowing more efficient. The new system is designed to not only show where plows are clearing highways but also measure how much melting material trucks are spreading, said PennDOT spokesman Gene Blaum. "The AVL unit in each truck sends a signal through the cellular system showing where the truck is located and whether or how much material is being spread from the truck.” Drivers will be able to log on to view when major highways are cleared. "This data will be available to people through the www.511pa website," Blaum said. For this initial year, only trucks clearing major interstates in the region will be equipped with the system. Blaum said it's all part of a test to streamline Pennsylvania's plowing system and in turn save money. Learn more about snow plowing here.

A LITTLE SWEETENER
Dog's Grave Helps Put School on Historic List: A New Hampshire school named to the National Register of Historic Places has an unusual feature on its grounds: the gravesite of a dog considered to be the father of the American Cocker Spaniel. The marble block at the edge of the Rollinsford Grade School's playground marks the remains of Obo II, who was born in the United States in 1882 and died in 1895. He was the offspring of two cocker spaniel show dogs from England. His owner, James Willey, owned part of the land now occupied by the school. The historic register application discusses the gravesite, which predates the school's construction but serves as a gathering spot for schoolchildren during recess and after school.
