so, that's a big concern as we look at this last year and into next year." about six hundred acres of the goodhue farm season beans they planted were harvested. thanks for joining us here and i hope you had a great thanksgiving. for the agribusiness report, i'm david geiger. trt 4.02 oc for the agribusiness report, i'm david geiger. swiping right on a dating app ant more than a love&connection for one florida woman. ow tinder helped save her life and exexnd her family for the holidays. plan on a wet day across eastern iowa. temperatures mama yet stay cool enonoh for a light glaze of ice a tampa woman who desperately kidney found a match through an unexpected way -- an online dating site. marisela burgos explains how the strangers - turned family - now want to help others. there are many thanksgiving blessings tonight inside the bragen house.

"it's unconstitutio nal. section six of the state constitution says all laws have to be applied equally. his main argument centers on enforcement . noting if a car has a bike rake or other object covering the license plate, that car would not get a ticker. hughes says the cames are more about money than safety. "i think it's a basic flaw in the premise is that the city believes that increasing citations will change driver behavior, and condition drivers to being more safe. i think the opposite has occurred." iowa dot directct of traffic and safety steve gent admits the cameras can be extremely effective in getting drivers to slow down and pay attention. "that's really what we want. if drivers are alert and aware of what's going on they're a safe driver." "they can definitely help, its similar to puttidg up some kind of warning sign or device." when the cameras went up in 2010, the city y t to make its own rules on enforcement. but gent says he immediately started getting complaints and that's when the d-o-t asked the atatorney general about t tting rules for the cameras. "when we sat down and started talking about that, we saw we have a lot of responsibility. so we started thprocess of&putting together guidelines, and ultimately they turned into addnistrative rules, those administrative rules essentially hold the same enforcement powers as iowa law." those rules created annual reviews to determine if a camera is effective at improrong safety. the evaluation in february stated that the primary safety concern is the "s" curve on 3-80 in cedar rapids. ititfound two cameras were too change and needed to move closer to the s- curve. the two others only hit drivers after they were past the s-curve and needed to come down. "our evaluation said the cameras do show some safety benefit, however we really only need the cameras inbound as you approach the "s" curve." but the city says statistics prove otherwise. it's data shows 82- crashes around the s- curve two years before the camas to just 59 crashes two years after the cameras went up. but the iowa d-o-t looked at a larger data set - going back six years before the cameras and three years after and found a much different story "and at that location the total number of crcrhes was s sentially the same on an nual basis averaging about thirty two crashes per year in that stretch. so really nothing changed in the total number of crashes." "based on our further evaluation, it's really hard to o say the cameras made a significant difference." we and police to comment on the cameras but they declined because of the pending lawsuit. all of the revenue from the cameras goes to the police department's budget. accounting for 14-percent of the department's budget. gent says the d-o-t guidelines are meant to have an independent assessment of traffic cameras to make sure that money isn't the driving force behind them. "it's so critically important that the public believes that these cameras are about safety. its really about public trust in their own government." that was tv-9's brea love with that story. the lawsuit bebeeen the d-o-t and city will g gto district court next spring. you must still pay all citations from these cameras throughout this court process. the suspect in the shooting that killed 3 people at a planned parenthood in colorado will make his first court appearance today. police say 57-year-old robert lewis dear was shooting at people tside a planned jennifer markovsky and ke'arre marcell stewart and university of colorado police officer garrett swasey died. 9 others were injmred during the shooting spree. law enforcrcent says dear admdmted to having anti-abortion views, but they have not determined a motive. astern iowa islamic leaders are hoping to end negative stigmas about their faith. to do that, they spoke with the community at the iowa city public library. kcrg-tv9's forrest saunders joins me at the desk this morning. forrest, these leaders from the mosque in iowa city aree denouncing recent terrorism? that's right brady. the iowa city mosque imam says these terrorists have attacked islam. he explained how w feels to a crowd of people and answered their questions. imam molhim bilal explained the islamic faith and its purpose. he compared the definition of terrorism to the faith's beliefs of peace. that was to show that all of the are condemned and not a part of islam. imam bilal says talking about the faith might help end some of the fear surroroding it. many at the event asked him how we can help fight these extremist groups. 5:08:41-52 "the number one way to fight them is not by dropping bombs on them, is not by killing em because once you kill them another group will come. the best way to fight them is by knowledge. " imam bilal also said many of those who join groups like isis are young and do not know the true meaning of islam. he says they see injustice and make decisions not truly based on islam. imam bilal ended his speech with the statement, "the religion of islam and its followers of it, condemns and disassociate itself from every terrorist attack, and every terrorist." any more oututach events planned, but they will consider it in the future. brady? thanks a lot forrest. republican presidential candidate john kasich is going to be talking to college students in eastern iowa today. the ohihi governor wilil be speaking at coe college in cedar rapids at 10 this morning. a-c-t and the iowa association of independent colleges and universities put on this event. after that, kasich will head to ames to speak at iowa state university. texas senator ted cruz will be in coralville today for a 10 a-m town hall meeting at the kirkwood regional center at the university of iowa. he startea day of campaigningng yesterday in central iowa at a worship service. cruz then appeared in tama at a casey's general store for "retail politicking". after that, cruz went to an event in van horne. in the moststecent quinnipiac poll, cruz clinched second place among iowa voters. the stage is now set with two candidates running for iowa representative kraig paulsen's seat. paulsen is the current speaker of the iowa a use and announced he is not seeking re-election. former tv-9 morning anchor and reporter ashley hinson has announced she is running for his seat as the republican candidate. hinson says she wants to lead the charge in working with all lawmakers on tough issues. her opponent is cedar rapids attorney mark seidl. he says his top priorities are to create good jobs by working with entrtrreneurs and small businesses and expand leadership in renewable energy. today is cyber monday, another retail holiday that promises big deals for but today is more focused on online shopping.. . but today isn't the only day that shoppers chose to go online. for black friday, in- store sales fell more than a billion dollars from a year ago. but americans spent nearly 3 billion dollars online. that's up 14 percent over last year. and industry analysts predict we'll shell out even easier to buy onlle. one online retail giant is delivery speed. amazon has released a sneak peek of its new drone service. plan on a wet day across eastern iowa. temperatures mamayet stay cool enoughghor a light glaze of ice over our thanks kaj. plan on a wet day across eastern iowa. temperatures may yet stay cool enough for a light glaze of ice over our northwest third today a popular social media company is changing up its parental leave program. it comes after its c-e-o announced he's taking two months off from work when his wife gives birth. stay with your 24 hour stocks finished mostly higher on friday at the end of a quiet, holiday-shortened week of trading. and if you didn't make it to the mall to catch the black friday deals, you can still find manyoday in the comfort of your own homom lots of shoppers chose to avoid the crowds this holiday weekend by shopping online. cyber monday deals began as early as saturday. 30 rcent of people say ey plan to shop after work today. so, walmart is bringing backck their cyber monday "evening edition" to give people a chance at its deals. amazon has released a video of its latest drone prototype. the online retailer hopes to deploy the drone as part of its prime air service to deliver packages in under 30 minut. the drones can carry packages up to five pounds. following mark zukerberg's announcement that he's taking two months of parental leave when his wife gives birth, facebook has announced its 12-thousand employees will get four months of paid parental leave. the updated policy also applies to men and people in same-sex relationships. it does not change the company's current maternity leave time. hhe's a live look at i i80 on our d-o-t camera. kaj will be back with another check of your weather coming up. stay with plan on a wet day across eastern iowa. temperatures may yet stay cool enough for a light glaze of ice thanks kaj. here's a look at today's top the iowa dot and the city of cedar rapids still don't agree on the traffic cameras along interstate 380. the city says it's all about safety, but the dot says data doesn't prove a decrease ih crashes. revenue from the cameras goes to the city's police department. final game, iowa state has found its next football head coach. ... the school announced today that it has hired toledo's matt campbell. he'll be introduced at a press conference tomorrow at noon. his deal at iowa state is reportedly 6 years and pays him 2 million in the first seseon. campbell was 35-15 in four seasons at toledo. it's also his birthday today. just before he left toledo, campbell says he's excited about this opportunity.
