A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
As of Friday, 1.8
million Ohioans will see their food stamp benefits drop.
Advocates say the
poor are going to be hurt and food banks like the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food
Bank will be slammed. The food bank distributes food to 300 agencies in eight
counties, including day care centers, food pantries, senior centers and soup
"We're going
to need to have more food in order to distribute it to clients," said
Laurie Cohen of the food bank.
The 2009 economic
stimulus bill temporarily boosted the federal food stamp program for its 48
million nationwide recipients. The boosted benefits expired midnight Thursday,
resulting in automatic 5.5 percent cuts to monthly distributions.
For a family of
four, it's a cut of about $36.00.
"I think
it's a shame," Cohen said. "Hunger is something that can be solved in our
country and that's what we're here for."
Deacon Tom's
Pantry at the Historic Church of St. Patrick receives supplies from the food
bank. One of the regular weekly 250 clients there is Damien Porter.
"It helps me
very well," Porter said. "What I don't have at home, it helps me get more food
to eat."
Pantry volunteers
worry their shelves may go bare, so they'll have to cut down on portions.
we try to give them enough for three meals," said Mary Kay McPartlin, from the
pantry. "Today, we've been able to give them enough for one meal."
The Toledo
Northwestern Ohio Food Bank needs help. The agency is now accepting not only
food donations, but financial contributions. Visit their website for
information on how to donate.

Schlosser moving to OMB's E-Gov office
Wednesday - 6/1/2011, 5:56pm EDT
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
Lisa Schlosser will become the next deputy administrator in the Office of E-Government and Information Technology in the Office of Management and Budget.
Government sources confirm she starts July 5 in her new role. Schlosser replaces Mike Howell, who left in November to become the deputy program manager in the Information Sharing Environment (ISE). Dominic Sale had been acting in Howell's place.
Schlosser was a finalist for this same position in 2008 when Howell got the job.
Schlosser's new job was first reported by the Dorobek Insider.
In her new role, Schlosser will work closely with federal CIO Vivek Kundra on oversight and implementation of the administration's initiatives.
Kundra, in an email to Federal News Radio, said "Lisa Schlosser brings to the egov team 25 years of experience in providing information technology and security solutions to both the private and public sectors, including for both military and civilian agencies. Her knowledge and diversity of experience will be invaluable to our continued efforts to cut waste and improve critical services the American people depend upon by changing the way the federal government manages IT."
Schlosser currently holds the position of principal deputy associate administrator of EPA's Office of External Affairs and Environmental Education. She has been at EPA since December 2008.
Before coming to EPA, Schlosser was the CIO at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. She also was the associate CIO and chief information security officer at Department of Transportation.
Prior to joining the government, Schlosser was vice-president for Business Operations and Response Services for Global Integrity and a senior manager for Ernst & Young.
Schlosser is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves and did a tour of duty in the Middle East during the Iraq war.

On Thursday, Empire State South and chef Ryan Smith will host chef Brandon Baltzley, author of the new culinary memoir "Nine Lives: A Chef's Journey from Chaos to Control."
Baltzley's story begins at age nine, when he fell in love with cooking at the Whistle Stop Cafe, a kitchen in the back of a gay bar in Jacksonville, Florida, where his single mom made soup and sandwiches.
From there, he paid his dues job-hopping through kitchens high and low, while playing drums in punk and heavy metal bands and battling multiple addictions — finally rising to chef positions in high profile fine dining restaurants in New York and Chicago.
Baltzley's dark, funny and passionate account of food, rock, drugs and sex has drawn comparisons to Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential" and Gabrielle Hamilton's "Blood, Bones and Butter."
But Baltzley, who is still under 30 and clearly something of a culinary prodigy, is his own man, capturing the culture and attitudes of his generation in prose that's raw and real, and sometimes shocking. Especially when he's writing about food, it can be exhilarating, too.
Thankfully, Baltzley's story has a happy ending. Currently, he's on tour with Crux, his nomadic culinary collective. And next year, he and his wife, Leigh, plan to open a restaurant, TMIP, on their farm in Indiana.
I caught up with Baltzley last week, when he phoned from a stop in Miami, where he was doing a couple of Crux pop-up events. Here's some of what he had to say:
Q. How's the tour going so far?
A. We went through Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York and did some signings, but nobody really knows who I am right now. The book signings at places like Barnes and Noble are really, really strange. Very "Spinal Tap." I go there and there might be two people in the audience.
Q. But now you're on tour cooking, again, right?
A. This leg of the tour I'm doing independently. I'm going to places where people have expressed interest in cooking with me or where I've cooked before. But we had a little problem when we headed out from Chicago. We got pulled over in Nashville, and I didn't have a drivers license. They didn't impound the car, but they said it might be wise if I fly for the next few dates, and then go back to Indiana and get a drivers license.
Q. Where is home now?
A. The farm is in Michigan City, Indiana. We're moving there from Chicago in June. It's about an hour drive. We've already seeded our first crops and they're all healthy and good looking. My mom is coming from Florida to help out. We're gutting the place and turning it into a restaurant in the next couple of months. The entire staff is going to move in on October 1. We're going to spend two or three months getting ready and doing friends and family. When we open to the public, I'll hand off Crux to another chef. We don't want that to ever go away.
Q. What brings you to Atlanta and Empire State South?
A. I've never met Ryan in person, but I know about their food and I really like Hugh's philosophy. It's pretty much what we're trying to do at TMIP. When I was planning out this tour, I was looking at people who share the same food beliefs as we do, and we just reached out to them. A lot of them were super long shots, like Sean Brock and Hugh Acheson, but they responded really quickly, so that was wonderful.
Q. What will the ESS dinner be like?
A. It will be a little different, because Ryan will be doing a couple of dishes and I'm going to be doing a couple of dishes. Usually, we have all the chefs hands in every plate. So it will be interesting to see how it all flows together. But I'm really happy with how the menu came out.
Q. Has your cooking changed?
A. It's changed a lot over the last couple of years. I don't even [mess] with molecular [stuff] anymore. What we're doing is picking flavors that go well together and finding ingredients that are really fresh. I don't really think about technique until the product is there in front of me in the kitchen and it's time to go at it. That's the way I cook now, and it feels much more natural.
On Thursday evening at ESS, Brandon Baltzley and Ryan Smith will be preparing a six-course dinner, with optional wine pairings by Steve Grubbs or non-alcoholic pairings by Kellie Thorn. $130 (tax and gratuity not included), includes a copy of "Nine Lives" signed by Baltzley. Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m.
Call for reservations: 404-541-1105.

Midwife - We tried a variety from the menu, and it was all excellent. So good that we came back later and shared a rack of lamb. Wow! It was one of the best meals that we have ever had from a restaurant, for any price. Simple, but absolutely delicious, and the lamb was fork-tender. One rack fed us both. Our waiter the second time was the bartender; he was courtly with a good sense of fun and humor, and the service was as delightful as the food that time. Yes, we will definitely go back. less

Midwife - The best Egg Flower Soup we have ever had, anywhere! Very good service, family owned (we were honored to have grandma come out and say hello to us in Chinese), and the servings are very generous. We liked it enough to go back every time we were in the area, which says a lot. As a side note, our waiter was a youngster back when we first ate at this restaurant when it was located in La Center, WA, and the food was also excellent back then. Small world, indeed. less

opining4you - In 2002 The Melrose opened its doors in late January. A restaurant steeped in Renton heritage from the early 1900's. What was once a hotel, cafe and saloon is now Renton's "it" steakhouse according to Google with its 4.4 stars. I have visited The Melrose twice in the past month and really wanted to give it a fair review. Upon arriving promptly at 5 with no reservation we were seated immediately and our drink orders were taken after a brief introduction by the wait staff. For those of you who enjoy cocktails. I ordered a Grey Goose Martini, dry with two olives served up and my fiancé had their Manhattan, which were delivered promptly and tasted as one would expect great cocktails to taste. Tonight it was the Boneless Rib Eye and The Bone-In New York for dinner. Prior to the entrees the customary bread basket was presented upon request and included 2 warm buns with cool stale centers. The staff quickly replaced those with fresh buns and salads arrived shortly after. Brown edged greens with arugula and dressing was the "salad" presented. Needless to say these salads were not scrutinized before leaving the kitchen. Immediately after salads, the entrees were being served. At first the presentation was lackluster at best. A cross hatched charred rib eye steak served with a baked potato with wilted vegetables atop a bone white plate. Upon slicing into the rib eye it was evident that "Medium" was not appreciated in the kitchen as the steak was bright red with a cool center. The initial flavor of teriyaki left me curious and on further review of the menu, no mention of the rib eye being flavored with teriyaki. The bone in New York required vigorous slicing and had an unimpressive flavor. The baked potato was fine yet having to ask for butter with a potato that comes with everything seemed rather sad. The steaks were okay as was the potato and the vegetables did not merit eating. This experience is almost identical to my last visit as I ordered the same thing. Desert was without a doubt the best part of this experience. The chocolate torte was richly decadent with a generous amount of fresh raspberry sauce. Sadly, for such a fantastic location with a rich heritage the Melrose is not a place I would call my own. The service is very good. I have no issue with the wait staff and the bartender knows how to make a great cocktail. However, the entrees were dismal at best. If you're looking for a solid cocktail and good service, check this place out. If you're looking for a good steak, good luck. less

Maggie H. - Just moved to the area and looking for a great Mexican diner. Went a week ago for lunch to scope it out before taking the family there. Asked the waiter if there was sour cream on the chicken burrito I ordered for lunch (lunch special $6.00) and he empatically said NO! NO SOUR CREAM. Great lunch that time. Went back yesterday and order the exact same item. SMOTHERED in SOUR CREAM. GROSS!!!! It was running out the sides. Also said no rice and they brought me rice. Stupid people. The waiter denied saying previously that it had no sour cream so he is also a liar!!! Management just shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. Will NOT BE BACK!!! less

Phil N. - PC Restaurant - Customer Service = 0 My wife and I entered the restaurant and immediately felt unwelcome. No one to greet us, we seated ourselves. The waiter came to the table, no greeting, no smile, felt as though we were intruding. We placed our order and I ordered a beer. I asked about a coupon that came in the mail to us. one free fried rice with pork if ordering 30.00 worth of food. The waiter stated that the offer was only good for take out. The coupon had no disclaimers on it stating that. I showed the waiter the coupon, he would not look at it and stated that his regular customers know that this is for take out and that he did not like being taken advantaged of. I got up from the table and asked to speak to the manager/owner. No one identified themselves as such. I told the wait person that I would pay for the beer since I drank it and that we would not be staying for the meal. The wait person made no attempt to apologize, I told him he was rude and that is why we were leaving. There are more Chinese restaurants out there that are more professional and courteous, Do not waste your time at this one. My wife and I felt very disrespected. less

Doctor_Freckles - If you're ideal sandwhich looks like something really greasy, sat on by a drunk elephant and sliced by someone with tremors - then this place is great (sarcasm). The service is horrible, attention to detail is non-existent and my last burger-dip (and I mean LAST) was smushed and disgusting. And I paid 11.05 for this crap. This place is consistently horrible. Kidd Valley used to be good, I really don't know what happened, but now the food is quite bad there. less

Steven W. - I am a regular customer at the Federal Way, WA location. I typically go there on Sundays after church. This Sunday however, my treatment by the staff in general and then the manager was unacceptable. First, there was a group of 6 of us. I came in and put in my name on the waiting list for 6 people , 2 of us were there, and we were waiting on 4 in our party to arrive. After about 15 minutes a host took us to seat us at a table too small to fit 6 people. Apparently he thought it was just the 2 of us, so we had to be put back on the waiting list. By this time the rest of my party had arrived. After waiting another 10-15 minutes or more I approached the host because there was an entire section of the restaurant with all open tables. He told me it was closed, I said we'd been waiting quite a while and asked if maybe they could seat us there and have a server come over. After about another 5 minutes my friend Nathan approached one of the hostesses to ask to speak to a manager. Jack Hernandez, the manager on duty came and before letting Nathan finish his sentence got in his face and was interrupting him shouting "where? what tables? why don't you show me what tables I have in my restaurant? where? come on, show me!" Needless to say I was shocked by the waiter's response. I came to the defense of my friend and said, "there is a whole section open over there, that is what he is talking about". Jack told me that section was closed. I said we'd been waiting 30 minutes, could you open it? He said "I don't know how long you've been waiting, thats not my fault". He began at that point interrupting not letting me finish my sentences or speak without cutting me off, and he being taller than me leaned in and put his face right up in mine. I asked him repeatedly to back down and he would not, he just kept shouting in my face. My other friends said "well, with that attitude we will take our business elsewhere". He told them "good, take your business wherever you like". I said "wow, you give really bad customer service, you are totally out of line, we don't deserve to be trea..." again he interrupted and got in my face, finally I said "Get the f**k out of my face sir". I don't usually use that kind of language but he was physically intimidating me by leaning over and in my face after I had asked him not to. Then he basically started yelling at me and all of my friends to "leave now" and even though we were gladly exiting, he kept getting in my face and saying "good, go, get out, go on" and so forth, then saying "and I'm writing down your license plate too" and threatening to call the police. He said I had not right to tell him how to do his job, I said "free speech, its America". To that he replied "Not in here it isn't", then he proceeded to repeat "adios amigos" several times. Again he threatened to call the police as we were trying to exit. The police? For what, leaving because we waited too long for a table and then got yelled at for complaining? I should add that during the entire time we waited for our table, the last 25 minutes of it we were the only people waiting for one. Also, its a Sunday morning, one of the busiest times for Black Bear, and yet an entire section of the restaurant closed? Nonetheless I was literally shaking after the experience. I called later and a server or hostess answered, I just wanted to know the name of the general manager. I was told it was "Jack Hernandez". I have only seen Jack there one other time when eating, so I'm not even sure if they were lying or being honest because at that point Jack took the phone and started yelling at me. This is where it gets really bad. He said "why don't you get a lawyer, what you gonna do? Do whatever you want but if you try and come back here I'll call the cops". Then he mentioned that he knew where my "little friend or girlfriend, or whatever you call it" worked and he was gonna come down to Shari's and show them what its like to be treated bad. My "little friend" Nathan is gay, and our entire group was adult males. So now he is making homophobic remarks and threatening us? I have been going to Black Bear diner for great food ever since they opened. I would love to continue to do so but I am both shocked and beside myself after this experience. I cannot imagine how somebody who treats people like this could be made manager. The threats and homophobic remarks were the last straw, and like Jack suggested, I just might contact an attorney. less

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A six-year-old boy who was struck and killed by a car in Milwaukee Thursday morning was identified as Corey Stevenson Jr.
Police said he was on his way to school when he left an alley and crossed in the middle of a block on a busy North Avenue. That's where he was hit by a car driven by a 58-year-old Milwaukee woman.
She was not injured, and police said she was cooperating with their investigation.
Corey was a kindergarten student at Clarke Street Elementary School on Milwaukee's north side.
School Superintendent Greg Thornton met with the victim's family, and said Corey would be greatly missed. Thornton said the child loved school, and his classwork was on display throughout his family's house.
Counselors are available Thursday to help Milwaukee school kids and staffers cope with the tragedy.

Great write-up! After hearing him speak, I definitely think it will be hard for someone to beat Kaleb out for the head coaching job.
Thanks. Another reason the job seems to be Kaleb's to lose is that he will have gone through the draft process with franchise and will know more about the new players than an incoming coach. Another option is to bring in a new coach and Kaleb is one of his assistants. We'll see.

'Disaster' looms for 2013 tax season
Lawmakers have put off major tax decisions, including whether to continue the Bush tax cuts, until after the Nov. 6 election. That doesn't leave much time to make changes.
You think this tax season is difficult?
Next tax filing season could be a "real disaster," IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman said Thursday, if Congress doesn't make key tax decisions before Jan. 1.
"You could have a real disaster in the filing season where there is total confusion," Shulman said during a speech at the National Press Club.
Members of Congress strongly disagree on tax policy and most have agreed to put off any substantive changes until after Nov. 6 elections. That doesn't leave much time to make decisions and revamp IRS procedures before the traditional Jan. 1 beginning of tax season.
And there are a lot of decisions to be made.
- The tax cuts exacted in 2001 and 2003 under President George W. Bush will expire at the end of 2012 unless Congress votes to extend them. Tax rates also will rise. (Post continues after video.)
- The Social Security payroll tax cut that lawmakers extended earlier this year after some resistance expires Dec. 31.
- The alternative minimum tax patch, a perennial congressional favorite, expires at the end of the year. If Congress takes no action, millions of Americans will face a take hike next year.
- Lawmakers may want to renew some tax breaks that have already expired.
- Whoever is elected president is likely to have some new tax initiatives.
Both President Barack Obama and his GOP rivals have expressed a desire for changes in the tax system, but neither side can muster the votes in Congress for a specific plan now. Whether the votes are there after the election is anyone's guess.
This year's tax filing season was able to go forward with little trouble because Congress didn't make any substantive changes at year's end. But the previous year, some taxpayers had to wait for the IRS to conform to late-breaking changes in the law and couldn't file their returns until mid-February.
In his prepared remarks, which focused on improvements made at the IRS in recent years, Shulman also noted that the agency relies on some technology dating from the 1960s and spends less than 3% of its budget on improvements to its technology infrastructure.
More from MSN Money:
Abolish the current Federal income tax system and implement the Fair Tax national sales tax now. It's about time! No more congressional tax games. It replaces the current 70,000+ pages of tax code with 120 pages that we can all understand. Congressional bills HR-25 and S-13 have been introduced and have 74 co-sponsors. See fairtax . org to learn about it and let congress know you support it.
Enough already! Change has to happen. A tax policy needs to be in place by the end of the year for the year 2013. Are the politicians in Washington, public servants? They are supposed to be. So here is what I am going to look into.
Forcing our public servant politicians to do work.
We have a task: Put a tax policy together for 2013
We have employees today that can make decisions: Politicians
We have a president today: Obama (and I could care less whether I like this guy or not. I also care less whether the local grocery store cart attendant becomes President in 2013. Right now we have a issue and it needs solved now.)
Vacations: Denied, get this settled now
I am tired of paying these people to avoid topics of tomorrow that need solutions today. It is April and the intelligent move is to table discussions until November. It is our fault. We are the ones voting these idiots into office.

HOUSTON, TX — With the prestigious "green" certification to the renovated JSC Public Affairs Office Building originally built in 1964, Johnson Space Center is now the home to two Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-Gold certified buildings, according to a press release.
The 17,644 square feet space has undergone a "green" renovation which enabled it to achieve the LEED-Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the release noted.
The LEED-Gold distinction highlights excellence in carbon emissions reduction, water efficiency, energy savings, sustainable materials selection and indoor air quality, the release stated.
According to the release, the three-storey office building is built to support NASA''s building refurbishment program: Many sustainable systems and products have gone into the refurbishment scheme in an attempt to cut energy and water consumption, apart from reducing energy and operation expenses.
JSC Center Operations Director Joel Walker has stated that they are striving to attain LEED recognition for other projects by reducing the impact of JSC on the environment, along with providing the highest quality workplace.

It was no conscious boycott. I just didn't think anyone would care. Sunday would be more about grooming the new cat than the gridiron. But after consistent pleas from my oldest to watch The Big Game, I asked some neighbors if we could invade their Super Bowl party.
I have nothing against epic sporting events and have even set my alarm for profane hours to catch World Cup soccer.
"It'll be fun!" "It's American!," I told my girls.
The game was a major mismatch, as the entire planet now knows, but this did not bother my eldest daughter.
"The thing is," she announced proudly to everyone, "I don't watch the Super Bowl for the game. I really just get excited about the commercials."
Say what?
Kids are terrific meters of culture's reach. The fact that hype over Super Bowl commercials got to my fourth-grader, who rarely watches television, is frightfully telling.
The smiles on Madison Avenue must be obscene now that Americans consider viewing commercials—openly intended to do little more than manipulate us and get our money—a rousing pastime.
My Facebook feed swarmed last night with updates effervescing over the bi-racial Cheerios commercial and the gay dads in the Coca-Cola campaign. Sure it's great, but I won't be surprised if my kids get a can of Coke (of which they have probably had three in their lifetimes) at some point this week.
More friends seemed to weigh in on James Franco in the Ford Fusion spot then they did on the actual football game. Media outlets all over the web are inviting us to vote for our favorite commercial. That's genius advertising.
But haven't we all been watching Mad Men for the last seven years?
In the immortal words of Don Draper: "Advertising is based on happiness. We make the lie, we invent want."
Hut 1, Hut 2, Hut 3, America. We're being snowed.

It certainly is a hostile time between the mayor and the city's union workers, who have been working without a contract for nearly five years!
Mayor Michael Nutter was shouted down from the podium last week as he attempted to deliver his budget address to city council.
We should all care about this battle. AFSCME District Council 33 has 10,000 members. When you include all of the families that could be 10,0000 people, some of whom you see every day, such as crossing guards, trash haulers and water department crews.
Earlier this week, we talked to the mayor, who said: "The unions have said, specifically DC 33, we don't want to talk about anything other than give us more money in raises, give us more money for our health and welfare, and we don't want to talk about anything else. That's not negotiating – at all. And what they've said is no to everything else. So, you know, I'm not going to get into a back-and-forth. That's just a fact. That's what it is. That's what's been going on. We're trying to get a resolution, and they're just trying to maintain the status quo."
Joining "Good Day" on Thursday morning was DC 33 President Pete Matthews, who reacted to Nutter's remarks by saying, "That's absolutely not true."
"We've been negotiating for the past five years," Matthews said. "We just sent in proposals last week that were rejected. So, that's not true. The problem with the mayor is he wants to dictate terms. We have moved so much in the past five years."
As to claims that the city doesn't have money to pay the employees, Matthews also said that isn't true. He said Nutter told them he couldn't pass a budget the first year, and he has passed four since then with the unions' help.
"There is money," Matthews said. "Mayors have ways of hiding money. The money is there."
Although the city says there's an offer on the table with 2.5-percent increases if it's accepted within 30 days, Matthews says that when you look at all of the details and what the mayor wants in concessions, it comes to a "negative increase."
"He's not talking the truth," Matthews said of Nutter. "He's not dealing with the facts. And every time he comes on TV or news, he spins. So, it's not true, and if you look at all of the facts, we can show you the facts."
If the money's there, why would the unions be getting stiffed for five years?
Matthews' answer: "The mayor wants a legacy, and his legacy is breaking the unions. He went to the Supreme Court and he did something that I couldn't even do – he unified all the unions with that. As I've said before, he doesn't negotiate. He wants to dictate his terms. It's his way or no way. It's like Councilwoman Blackwell says, he has so much of a disconnect with the community and labor, he doesn't understand what's really going on."
Is it time to strike? "Quite possibly," Matthews answered. "Let's see what happens in the Supreme Court case."
As for whether the unions' tone, including portrayals of Nutter as "Bozo the Clown" and screaming at people, and whether the public will still back them, Matthews said he has respect for city council, its president and even the mayor's office.
"But we have no respect for the mayor," Matthews said, adding that the unions want to sit down and negotiate the contract fairly.
"Let me say this: Is the trash being picked up? Are those main breaks being taken care of? Are the correctional officers working? Are the crossing guards – we're out here through five years. We haven't done what the mayor wants – the mayor wants a strike, there's no doubt about it. And quite possibly, he's going to get that," Matthews said. "The public should watch and see how we've been out here and how we've tried to work with the mayor."

These jobs promise a bigger paycheck than some jobs that require a college education.
This post comes from Donna Gehrke-White at partner site Money Talks News.
Conventional wisdom has it that if you want a good job that pays well, you need a college degree.
But five of the professions expected to see the most new jobs this year not only don't require a four-year degree, they can pay more than the average $46,000 salary of a college graduate.
Get one of these jobs, and you may be the envy of a humanities major with a job paying less than $30,000 a year or no job at all.
Google is blamed for directing a pedestrian to a state highway with no sidewalks.
File this under "We're not making this up": A woman is suing Google after she followed a suggested Google Maps walking route and was struck by a car.
Lauren Rosenberg looked up Google Maps directions on her BlackBerry on Jan. 19, 2009, to walk from a street address in Park City, Utah, to another Park City location. The directions included just over a half-mile walk on Deer Valley Drive or State Road 224, which has no sidewalks and looks like this.
Her lawsuit seeks at least $100,000. Her pain and suffering could very well be exacerbated by comments across the Web.
"PSA for the day: Google may seem all-powerful and all-knowing, but if it tells you to walk off a cliff, you really don't have to," Kayla Webly wrote in her report about the lawsuit at Time.
Want a cheap handset? Steer clear of your carrier.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
In the market for a new cell phone? Consider shopping at the nearest electronics store.
Starting today, Wal-Mart will sell the 16GB iPhone 3GS for $97 with a two-year AT&T contract, instead of the $199 price tag both AT&T and Apple offer. When Wal-Mart announced its planned price drop last week, analysts and consumers alike saw the move as a confirmation that Apple would unveil a new model of the popular smart phone in June.
But it's not at all unusual for big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, Best Buy and RadioShack to offer handset prices that are significantly lower than those at carriers.
Picking the right time and a high-traffic location are the first rules for a community yard sale.
This post comes from Leah Ingram of partner site Money Talks News.
Recently, I organized a community yard sale. Its purpose was to raise money for our middle school, plus provide a service to folks like myself who live in a place that is not conducive to having a yard sale.
Organizing it was easier than you might have thought.
Is it OK to use taxpayer money to reduce the mortgage balances of struggling homeowners? Some states are considering this.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Where do you think we should draw a line in the sand with these mortgage bailouts? Myself, I'm not a hardball libertarian make-your-bed-and-you-lie-in-it type of taxpayer; I do believe in government. I'm not a bleeding heart type, I tell myself, but I like to think I do have a heart.
- Bing: Why not just walk away?
It seems right to me that government should pave roads and hire teachers and cops. When life whumps people upside the head through no fault of their own, it seems like a decent thing to have a safety net that helps get them on their feet. Not a down cushion, mind you. Just a net, with big wide mesh.
But this business of failed mortgages just confounds me. Who should we help?
Theater chains offer special programs of family-friendly flicks on weekday mornings.
It's summer, and a young mother's fancy turns to -- free and cheap movies to entertain her children in air-conditioned comfort. Dads and grandparents may like these films, too.
Most of the major theater chains have a summer program of free or discounted movies for children.
Some public libraries, cities and parks also show free movies during the summer. If school is already out in your district, the summer movie programs may start as early as this week, but most start next week or the week after.
It exists everywhere, but some places have more of it than others.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
I'm back! After 10 days boating through Southeast Alaska (and two days of recovery), I'm ready to think about personal finance once again. Actually, it'll probably come as no surprise that I never stopped thinking about personal finance. Even while we were skirting among ice floes, pulling up prawns, and admiring whales, my mind never strayed far from the topic of money. (I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it's the truth.)
It would be all too easy for me to share another sermon about the perils of stuff -- when you spend 10 days on a 38-foot boat, living out of a single carry-on bag, you come to realize how little you actually need in life -- but I think I've beaten that topic into the ground over the past few months. I'm working to cut down my dependence on things, and I know that many of you are, too; let's save further discussion for another day.
Today, I want to talk about the value of social capital.
Though I don't mention it often around GRS, the idea of social capital is constantly lurking behind the scenes.
The poll found that most people don't know how to react to a yellow traffic light.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
One reason highways are hazardous is because too many drivers don't know what they are doing, an insurance company study suggests.
GMAC Insurance conducted an online survey, posing 20 questions taken from state driver's-license exams. The results showed that many respondents might have flunked if it had been a real test.
For example, 85% of respondents did not know how to react to a traffic signal when the light is yellow. Others showed confusion on other questions or admitted to unsafe habits like texting while driving.
