– RewardsCanada.ca
When Aeroplan announced the Distinction program last June one of the benefits touted was the ‘Distinction Only’ reward flights. Similar in vain to the occasional CIBC Aerogold only flights these flights are for Aeroplan Distinction members only (100% of the plane is reserved for dSilver, dBlack or dDiamond members at Aeroplan ClassicFlight redemption levels). We are pleased to pass along the news that Aeroplan has released the first batch of Distinction only flights and much to our surprise they are not Toronto-centric like the CIBC Aerogold flights of past! The flights cannot be booked online, you have to call 1-877-341-9730 to book and the good news is there are not phone in fees on the flights. To learn more about these flights click here.The first flights have departures from Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver and are as follows:Calgary-Los Angeles: March 24-28, 2014Montreal-Orlando: March 5-12, 2014Montreal-Cancun: March 4-11, 2014Ottawa-Orlando: March 12-19, 2014Toronto-Orlando: March 12-19, 2014Toronto-Cancun: March 11-18, 2014Vancouver-Los Angeles: March 24-28, 2014Overall these are decent offers considering you can redeem at the lowest possible mileage level for either Economy or Business Class on all the flights for every seat…Upstate NY woman resentenced to 1 year in jail for decking Walmart cashier on Christmas Eve

BATAVIA, N.Y. – A 28-year-old woman has been given a court-ordered one-year sentence for punching a 70-year-old cashier at a western New York Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve 2011.
The Daily News of Batavia reports (http://bit.ly/1d3gaLK ) Jacquetta Simmons was resentenced Monday after a state appeals court earlier this month ruled that her original five-year state prison sentence was too harsh. She’ll serve a one-year term in a county jail with credit for time already served.
Simmons was convicted in August 2012 of assault for punching Wal-Mart cashier Grace Suozzi after she asked to see a receipt for merchandise Simmons was carrying out of the Batavia store on the morning of Dec. 24, 2011.
Police say the punch knocked the cashier to the ground and caused fractures to the side of her face.
