(BCN) -- The Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center was approved by state regulators on Wednesday for Medicaid recertification, a move celebrated by San Francisco city officials who had fought to keep the century-plus-old facility open amid its threatened closure.

Sitting in Denver traffic can cost you thousands

DENVER (KDVR) — Nothing says a Denver commute like hitting 10 red lights for a drive that was supposed to take 10 minutes or constant breaking on Interstate 25 by Empower Field. Waiting in traffic may cost more than just your patience. A new study shows that Coloradans lose $6,740.21 a year from sitting in Denver traffic. These vehicles are stolen most from the airport — and they’re not Kia or Hyundai Most Coloradans in Denver get to work within 25 minutes. Roundtrip, the drive time is less than an hour. But when it comes to the daily commute cost, it tallies to about $26 a day, according to the study. This is lower than full-time workers' median hourly earnings, but just like Starbucks coffees, it adds up. If you're earning a Denver median wage, which is about $66,000, and spending 25 minutes sitting through traffic, expect 10% of your yearly paycheck to disappear. To make your commute less fun than it already is, for comparison, this would be around three months of rent in Denv...
