“Obama To Visit Cuba Next Month”

President Obama is planning a trip to Cuba some time next month, marking the first time in more than 80 years a sitting U.S. president will visit the country. The visit will be officially announced on Thursday. The trip is planned for March Since December 2014 Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro have been working on restoring diplomatic relations between the countries. Since that time a prisoner exchange was carried out. Embassies in Havana and Washington, D.C., were reopened last summer. On Tuesday the two nations signed an agreement to restore scheduled commercial air service for the first time in decades as early as later this year. Word that Obama will visit Cuba brought immediate criticism from Republican presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Marco Rubio of Fla., both the sons of Cuban immigrants to the U.S. Cruz said Obama should not visit Cuba while the Castro family remains in power. Rubio condemned the planned visit to an "anti- American communist dictatorship."

In Other News  The last and only sitting U.S. president to visit Cuba, only 90 miles south of the Florida keys, was Calvin Coolidge, in  Caitlyn Jenner spoke with students at the University of Pennsylvania Wednesday night, many of them captivated by curiosity and how she's using her high-profile life to help other transgenders. 1,300 people, many of them students packed into Irvine Auditorium after waiting in line on a cold, brisk night that snaked around the building. The event was closed to news cameras, but included a Q&A segment with questions that were pre-screened.  A computer glitch led to a brief price war between two gas stations in northwest Ohio, allowing some drivers to fill their tanks for pennies per gallon. WTOL-TV reports that a computer malfunction dropped prices at one north Toledo gas station, and another across the street lowered its prices to stay competitive early Sunday. Customer Taylor Kline told the station he filled his empty tank for just 26 cents. The extra-low pricing lasted at least three hours before returning to normal. Ohio's average price for a gallon of regular gas was $1.55.
