CDL State Law Changes
To comply with federal regulations, a new Pennsylvania state law is now in effect that may affect individuals who hold commercial driver licenses (CDL) or those who will be seeking them. Most of the changes went into effect earlier this year. The changes are a result of Act 49 of 2015, which seeks to enhance public and driver safety while making the process a bit simpler for those who are seeking to renew a CDL.
All new CDL applicants and current holders required to renew or make any changes or upgrades to their CDL will need to do so in person. License holders are required to prove citizenship or legal presence in the form of a birth certificate, passport, naturalization documents or current immigration documents in person. The requirement to prove citizenship or legal presence for permanent residents and citizens will only need to be done once as a notation will be made on the customer’s record confirming the verification was made and the date it was made.
Additionally, residency documents will be required initially, at renewal and any time an address change occurs. Proof of residency can be accomplished by providing tax records, lease agreements, mortgage documents, W-2 form, current weapons permit, current utility bills (water, gas, electric, cable, etc.), a letter from PennDOT or a current license.
More information is also available via PennDOT’s website at www.dmv.pa.gov by typing “CDL” in the search bar.

Turkish Engineers Show Off
Transformer Robot Car
ANKARA, Turkey, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- A team of Turkish engineers are turning science fiction into science reality by building a real-life "Transformer" that morphs from a car to a giant robot. Turkish company Letrons posted a video to YouTube showing their creation, which is also dubbed Letrons, taking an outdoor test drive.
The vehicle doesn't have room for a driver or passenger like its cinematic counterparts, but it does actually drive via remote-control, the creators said.
The video shows the car driving around a paved lot before stopping and transforming into a giant robot that moves its head, arms and fingers.
The robot then transforms back into a car and continues its drive.
Letrons said it took 12 engineers a total eight months to create the robot using what used to be a BMW sports car.

Winterizing is Key to a Better Lawn
(BPT) - As September closes the door on summer with falling temperatures and leaves, many homeowners mistakenly slip into hibernation from yard work. However, this timeframe is crucial for prepping your yard for the coming winter- and positioning it to look its best the following spring. The typical yard goes through a lot in a given year: natural wear and tear, rainstorms, dry spells, blankets of leaves, weeds and so on. Properly managing the inevitability before the season changes requires simple planning and a little elbow grease.
The following tips will help even the novice homeowner stay on top of things.
Fertilizing
Your yard is like a bear - it stores the most nutrients as possible to survive lean months. Fertilizer is the easiest route. Apply nitrogen fertilizer - at a lower dosage than your spring application - to promote growth and help roots prepare for the harsh winter months.
Raking
While it seems obvious, it is deceptively easy to let leaves and debris pile up to the point where a homeowner gives up for the season. Regular raking is one of the simplest ways to protect your lawn. Fallen leaves during the wintertime smother grass and can prevent new grass from sprouting. Moreover, getting the job done in the fall makes for a much drier chore come spring.
Aerating
Aeration is less common than raking and fertilizing but is just as important. Tools like the Strongway Tow-Behind Plug Aerator by Northern Tool + Equipment penetrate and extract plugs from lawns to loosen compacted soil and break up thatch. In turn, aerating frees up the soil to allow for air, nutrients and water to flow down to the roots of the grass. The rejuvenated roots grow deeper, producing a stronger and richer looking lawn.
Tree Therapy
Trimming and pruning trees are a heavy dose of risk management for homeowners.
Pruning branches allows new growth and can stop diseases from spreading to the rest of the tree. Troubleshoot your trees each fall for weak branches that may become weighed down by the weather. Having these trimmed will save you from the misfortunes of a broken window or hole in your roof.
Yard care should take a rightful place on homeowners' winterization checklist, right next to installing storm doors and checking the furnace. As with many things, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Save Money and Time
Running Your Small Business
(StatePoint) Being at the helm of a small business can be overwhelming. Whether you’re already your own boss or are thinking of making the leap, these tips from small business owners can help you get organized and boost productivity.
Make it Official
“If you’re thinking of starting a business, the simple act of making business cards will make you feel so much more official,” says Laura Essl, owner of “Blue Eye Brown Eye,” a calligraphy and design service.
Essl, who recently partnered with Staples as part of their #MakeMoreHappen campaign to help small business owners learn about resources to help them get things done, suggests the Staples Copy & Print Center as a go-to destination for business cards, note pads and other customized supplies. Like others too busy to go to the store, she calls their online ordering system and takes advantage of free delivery for orders over $49.99 as “the cherry on top.”
Make the Effort
If you are newly taking a crack at operating a business, you may quickly notice the little things you took for granted as an employee. No longer relying on someone else to provide basics like pens, paper and file folders, it’s important to supply your office cost-efficiently.
Buying supplies haphazardly while you happen to be grocery shopping, for example, as interior designer Anissa Zajac, owner of House Seven was doing at first, is neither a good strategy for staying organized or on-budget.
“I spend most of my time visiting clients and so I don't need a lot of supplies, but I’ve discovered that making a special trip to an office supplies retailer is well worth it for the money I will save in the long run,” says Zajac.
Get Professional
When working from home, it can be tempting to let things lapse into chaos. But if you video conference, meet with clients or just want to get serious, it’s important to differentiate your home office from your home, at least mentally.
“What I previously called my office was a makeshift desk in my son's playroom. It worked fine for me, as my requirements and hours were flexible, but now that my husband is working from home and conducting online business meetings and conference calls, we quickly discovered that toys in the background was just not a professional look,” says Shannon Peterson, lifestyle blogger behind “Much Most Darling.”
When upgrading your office, Peterson suggests stretching dollars by taking advantage of resources like the Staples Rewards program, which offers rewards on purchases, cash back on recycled ink cartridges and special coupons and deals. She also points out that you can enjoy further cost-savings when opting for the generic store brand, which, in most cases, is as high quality as name brand alternatives.
More cost and time efficient ideas for small businesses can be found by visiting Staples.com and by following #MakeMoreHappen on social media.
When money and time is tight, as it often is when running a small business, turn to smart strategies to take your business further with fewer resources.
