A new report from the public affairs reporting group Iowa Watch finds many of our state's veterans face challenges getting money they're owed for the GI Bill. Veterans are waiting anywhere from a week to two months to get GI Bill payments, making it challenge for budget-strapped students to get by.
At UNI there are nearly a hundred students getting GI Bill benefits. As more veterans come home from war, and enroll in college, there's an increase in vets needing GI Bill payments, creating a backlog in getting those checks.
Dwain Caldwell is about to graduate from UNI with a degree in geographic information and computer sciences. For the Iraq war veteran, attending college is possible thanks to the post 9-11 GI Bill.
"The GI Bill as it's planned out is great. The benefits that you get are really helpful," said Caldwell.
The traditional GI Bill's been around a long time, but the post 9-11 GI Bill just started in 2009. It offers extra money to help students with books and housing, but getting that cash in hand isn't always easy.
"A lot of the benefits you plan for on a regular basis don't come when you expect them. Sometimes it can be two to three months late, and when you have a family and a mortgage and all your bills to pay, not knowing when money's coming can be really stressful," said Caldwell.
In fact, those delays mean Caldwell works two part-time jobs in addition to being a full-time student.
UNI knows student veterans like Caldwell face a lot of issues transitioning from the military to college. That's why just this year, UNI hired Julia Heuer as its first military and veterans student services coordinator.
"I used GI Bill benefits when I went through college, and a lot of times I didn't have a direct contact person. So having a face and a name that you can go to, an office you can go to hopefully puts students more at ease, that we are actually working very hard to help them," said Heuer.
She says the VA knows there's a backlog in helping students like Caldwell get money they're owed, and it's creating a better way to streamline payments.
"They're switching over from a paper format to electronic, which seems like a process to be weird that we're talking about that kind of transition in 2013, but a lot of people have seen quicker processing because of that," said Heuer.
But that might not solve all the issues. Heuer and Caldwell think the VA just needs more staff to help veterans have easy access to GI Bill money they've earned.
The good news--none of Iowa's public universities charge late fees to military students, allowing the VA more time to make payments.
UNI's Veterans Services Department also encourages military students to file for the free application for federal student aid, and to apply for scholarships to help alleviate the need for waiting on GI Bill money.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Organizers and law enforcement in Coeur d'Alene are expecting extra traffic for Labor Day weekend's Diamond Cup Hydroplane Races.
Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive from Potlach Hill Sunnyside will be reduced to just one lane. The Centennial Trail will be open but will be diverted from the Diamond Cup area.
If you want to park in the area you will have to leave your car at the Fairgrounds.
"We have transportation, our main transportation lot is the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. And we'll be running school bus shuttle services throughout the day, every day," said Diamond Cup President, Doug Miller.
The race will also be running shuttles to the Riverstone Shopping area. Parking is not allowed at the race site and you could be towed if you get caught.

Washed up or deliberately dumped on the beach? Strange it was buried without significant further investigation. I feel sure this would have interested a university biology department or a museum. Did the same happen with the Montauk monster? It all smells a bit fishy!

2 Stupid Dogs hijack Section 220Posted on July 24th, 2007 – 10:29 PM
By Howard
Big Dog and Little Dog are already sitting outside Gate D at the Metrodome, wanting to make sure they're first in line for the Michael Cuddyer bobblehead (on September 15). They have a laptop and several changes of underwear. Out of work since their TV show was canceled 12 years ago, the Dogs apparently thought that stealing this blog space could be the first step toward regaining the recognition they once had and still crave. Let's see what they have to say.
Big Dog: You know what? Johan Santana really pitched badly Monday night. I can't believe Howard didn't mention that in his blog yesterday.
Little Dog: Yeah, Johan pitched like ca-ca. And you know what?
Big Dog: What?
Little Dog: Howard's got to comment on the obvious more often, add his voice to the chorus. I read in the papers that Johan pitched badly and saw it on TV too. Even Bert said it, and without cussing. But Howard went off and wrote about all that other stuff. He just doesn't get it. I hate it when blogs bring up stuff I can't find anywhere else.
BD: Good point. We should waterboard Howard until he admits Johan stunk and bite off his fingers unless he writes it.
LD: And I want to be the one who says it: Johan isn't the best pitcher in the game any more. My vote is for Dustin McGowan. Did you see how he handled Lew Ford? And, I mean, have you seen Johan's record lately? He's 41-6 now after the All-Star break. Did you know he used to be 41-4? He's the reason the Twins are in the slow cooker.
BD: Not Nick Punto?
LD: No way. Nicky's giving 110 percent and everyone is rooting for him. I read all about it at mntwins.com.
BD: That was literature!
LD: You're right. And when you're right, you're right. And you're right, right?
BD: Right!
LD: And it was great to see Lew Ford in the lineup last night. He wasn't the reason we lost 7-0.
BD: No, that was Johan's fault. He totally took away our momentum with the way he pitched on Monday. I don't care if Howard won't admit it.
LD: Can I ask you a question?
BD: Sure.
LD: Don't you think it's stupid when guys like SethSpeaks and Ask Kleiner only make a point once? Don't you wish they would make the same point over and over and over again? Like when Seth said, "The Twins haven't consistently done 'the little things' right for a long time. It's been back to the first couple of playoff teams earlier this decade. They actually did do the little things right from about 1996-1999. And, how much did it help their records?" I wanted him to find 10 different ways to say it.
BD: Word, dogg!
LD: When do we eat?
BD: Right after we e-mail this to email@example.com.
Howard will return to Section 220 soon, if he can pry the new password out of us — BD & LD.

High Heel Peep Toe Pump Style ROCHELLE 3 3
Very comfortable shoes! I'm wondering if because I have wide feet, I needed to order my actual size and not a size smaller, but I digress. I tried these on in an 8 and a 9 (I'm an 8 1/2) and the 8 was squishing my toes and the 9 I was slipping out of, so they ordered me an 8 1/2. However I could tell the 8 1/2 will be comfortable, as the 9 was despite the slipping for a shoe over 3" high. It does sparkle more in person and is almost a blush / coppery color. July 19, 2014
Sparkly but Big My sister got these for my wedding. The shoes are definitely more sparkly in person than in the picture, which I love. The shoes were a half size too big. I go them in a 10, I will be exchanging them for a 9.5. But they came very fast and I love everything else about them. May 1, 2014
Great shoe, just be careful about the size I love the way these shoes look. I had to exchange my normal size for 1/2 size smaller, but now that I have the right size I cant wait to wear them on my wedding day. February 18, 2014

CLARKSVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- Two Greater Clark County Schools students and a bus driver suffered minor injuries Thursday morning after their bus was hit by a flat bed truck.
According to a news release, the bus driver is an employee of the fleet contract owner. They are not directly employed by Greater Clark County Schools.
Although the driver has had three incidents during her career that resulted in non-injury property damage claims, investigating officials have indicated that the driver was not at fault in this accident.
The release says, the contract bus driver will not transport Greater Clark students until an investigation is completed to determine whether the district will continue to utilize the driver's services. The safety of students is Greater Clark County Schools' top priority and parents should be confident utilizing the district's transportation services.
The accident happened on Broadway Street near Clevidence Boulevard just off of Veteran's Parkway around 8 a.m.
GCCS assistant superintendent said 11 students heading for River Valley Middle School were aboard bus #13J when it was hit by a semi truck and the impact knocked a wheel off the bus. GCCS said the students and bus driver's injuries are "bumps and bruises."
EMS services were on the scene and transported all three to the hospital.

Narrow your search
Did you know you can do more than quickly switch between open apps using the application switcher in OS X? I sure didn't.
Do you use the Task Switcher in Mac OS X? If you do and are moving only right through your app icons, then you are missing out.
If you've decided to switch from an iPhone or Android and take up a new Nokia Windows Phone, you might need some help finding your feet. Here are 10 great apps to get you started.
Your sound bar may only have a couple of inputs, but you can easily expand its connectivity by using your TV to switch among devices.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere believes the pieces are in place to benefit from iPhone switchers after Apple launches a new smartphone -- likely in September.
Beautiful hardware and a robust operating system don't trump apps and peripherals that don't work as they are supposed to.
Microsoft is getting more aggressive about targeting users of Salesforce and Oracle's CRM products with a new program that pays switchers.
One of the features Windows users may be used to is the capability to maximize windows to full screen using the windows' maximize button; however, the analogous button in OS X performs a slightly different default function.
The Apogee HDMI 3x1 Mini HD Digital Switcher's power-free design and affordable price tag puts it at the top of HDMI switcher heap--so long as you can live with just three inputs.
Pricing not available
The Monoprice 4x1 switcher is an excellent value, but you might as well step up to the 5x1 switcher.

Love your site, but wondering if you can allow a checkbox next to the food you have in your daily tracking to group a meal. Currently I can create a meal but have to re type everyfood from the database and it is so cumbersome. For example, a salad for me is not anything listed under salads, so I have to list each item separately along with my other lunch items. But in creating a meal I would have liked to check off only that in the lunch section that would make my salad meal (exluding everything else I had for lunch). Hope this makes sense.

It would also be nice if there were a built-in measurement conversion table. I am forever googling how many tbsp in a cup or ounces in a pint.

You can create your own meal, and then add this meal with one click to your food diary for the day. (You do have to enter each food individually the first time you enter the meal in though). What I do is make up a meal that is a typical salad for me, save it under "My Meals" and then add/delete items as needed for any particular day.
As for a conversion table... good idea, but after I while I've just gotten these measurements in my head. There are 16 TBSP in a cup (5.33 in 1/3 cup), and 16 fl. oz in a pint (also 16 oz in a pound... I had never realized those were all similar before!)

Google and competition
By Larissa Anderson // Posted: 09/17/10 02:40 PM
On Thursday, a House subcommittee heard testimony about Google and the issues of competition and dominance in the digital marketplace.
One witness, Scott Cleland - a noted Google critic - said "Google is a vastly more serious antitrust threat than Microsoft ever was."
But it doesn't sound like the folks in Congress are convinced. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said at the hearing "Just because competitors complain about a practice does not mean it is anti-competitive."
For an in-depth look at competition in the Internet age, check out this podcast by the good people at the Berkman Center. It's a conversation between Jonathan Zittrain, law professor at Harvard Law School and co-founder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Lawrence Lessig, Director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University and law professor at Harvard Law School.
The two talk about the 12-year old battle between Microsoft and the Department of Justice as well as Google, Facebook and other tech giants.

New marketing: getting it right, getting it wrong
by John Moe // Posted: 09/17/10 11:16 AM
McDonald's increased foot traffic in its stores by 33% in one day by using FourSquare. This according to the company's head of social media Rick Wion, talking at a conference yesterday. It was a pretty simple trick, really. They placed 100 gift cards for $5 or $10 on FourSquare as check in bait. So if you checked in at McDonald's, you have a chance to eat for free. And if you don't win the gift card, hey, might as well grab something to eat. Check in McNuggets! You were also eligible for the cards if you followed/fanned the company on social media sites, which 600,000 people did. Total cost of the operation? $1000. Wion said that several people in the company's marketing department had never heard of FourSquare. They have now.
Update: Read Write Web says that, contrary to the Mashable report linked to above, it was a 33% increase in FourSquare check ins, not in feet at the restaurants.
But then there's the case of Posie's Café in Portland, Oregon. The proprietor, Jessie Burke, wanted to drive a little traffic to her place by using a Groupon discount. She offered a $13 credit for $6, intending to keep the $6. But Groupon wanted a big cut, 50%, so she was left with the $3, which didn't allow her to break even. The Groupon was a hit but that just made things worse as she would lose money on each sale until she was $8000 in the hole, unable to make payroll or rent, and dipping into personal savings.
Over the six months that the Groupon is valid, we met many, many wonderful new customers, and were so happy to have them join the Posies family. At the same time we met many, many terrible Groupon customers… customers that didn't follow the Groupon rules and used multiple Groupons for single transactions, and argued with you about it with disgusted looks on their faces or who tipped based on what they owed.
Most of the customers never came back once they had their discount.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying that the success of the McDonald's campaign is good for society. I'm merely saying that in terms of people accomplishing a goal in a given area, in this case marketing, they were very successful.

Microsoft and political repression in Russia
Posted: 09/15/10 06:00 AM
The New York Times recently reported that Russian authorities were raiding the offices of protest groups under the premise of checking for unlicensed Windows software. They'd seize computers, haul them away, attempting to silence those groups.
Microsoft has been fighting software piracy for some time. They say 41 percent of software worldwide is pirated, resulting in 750 Billion dollars of lost revenue for the software industry.
But Microsoft was quick to issue a response to these Russian raids, announcing Monday that non-governmental organizations or NGOs in Russia would be issued a blanket license, making all the software they run legal. It's a variation of their software donation program.
Microsoft's move raises some new questions. If a dissident group in Russia can stake a claim to free software, can a group in France or Libya or Mexico or the United States do the same? And more broadly, what kind of political position taking might Microsoft be forced to take going forward?
We talk to Sharon Pian Chan, who covers the northwest-based Microsoft for the Seattle Times. And we check in with James Lewis, Senior Fellow and Director of the Technology and Public Policy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
We contacted Microsoft for this story. They declined to be interviewed but they pointed us to a blog post from their chief counsel outlining their position and their plans.

Walmart gets into wireless business
by John Moe // Posted: 09/14/10 05:34 PM
Walmart will begin offering their own branded wireless service (partnered through T-Mobile) starting next Monday. The retailer already offers cell plans through AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. This will add a service option for a plan under its own name.
You'll have to pay for the phone, but they're relatively cheaper - you can get a Nokia for $35. And it'll cost $45 each month for unlimited calling and texting. But data is insanely expensive. $40 for 1gb, which compares to AT&T's $25 for 2gb or T-Mobile's own $30 for unlimited. The data can be shared among multiple phones in the same family but still that's a ton of cash.
Angry Birds will let you cheat…for a price
by John Moe // Posted: 09/14/10 12:12 PM
Angry Birds is probably the most popular mobile phone game of the last year (read comedian Paul F. Tompkins' take on it). In the game you launch a variety of birds at a variety of buildings in order to destroy these green pigs and reclaim your eggs. Or something. It's strange but it's a lot of fun, in part because it's so challenging. But now players can get an extra advantage in the game by purchasing a new character, the ultra-powerful Mighty Eagle, for an additional fee. We've seen this in games before: the game is cheap or free (Angry Birds costs $3) but upgrades cost extra. They hook you, then they reel you in.
Here's the video that previews Mighty Eagle:

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

Miami – Brian McCann was out of the lineup Thursday night against the Marlins after straining his right quadriceps muscle running the bases the night before. But the Braves catcher and cleanup hitter thought he might only have to miss one day.
He said he was available to pinch hit Thursday in the series finale against the Marlins.
"I don't think it's going to be anything other than today," McCann said Thursday afternoon before going to do some light jogging, then hitting in the indoor batting cage.
Manager Bobby Cox might choose to give McCann a little longer, as he often does, saying "maybe" when it was suggested McCann might only miss one game.
McCann injured his quadriceps running between first and second base on Yunel Escobar's fly out in the fourth inning Wednesday night. He thinks he caught it before a "tweak" turned into a "pull." He stayed in the game until coming out for a pinch runner in the seventh.
"I'm almost lucky that I didn't have to air it out (on Escobar's ball)," McCann said. "I'm almost glad the ball didn't get over his head. It wouldn't have been good if I had to sprint once it grabbed. I stopped as soon as it grabbed."
With McCann out, Cox started left fielder Eric Hinske in the cleanup spot, where he'd started one other time this season, going 1-for-3 with three RBIS on April 16 against the Rockies.
Cox also moved Melky Cabrera into center field in place of Nate McLouth. McLouth has hit only 1-for-17 (.058) in his last five games, while Cabrera had hit .444 (8-for-18) in his past eight games entering Thursday, including a two-hit game against the Marlins Wednesday night.
"Melky is swinging the bat really good right now," Cox said. "Let him play back-to-back games. He's starting to hit the ball harder."

Charlie Countryman was just a normal guy... until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she's already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal.
Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm's way. Finally his exploits of blind valor create such a mess that he's left with only one way out; to save the girl of his dreams, must Charlie Countryman die?

2013 Guide Analysis: "Set to premiere at Sundance and Berlinale shortly, this action-oriented rom-com from "Project X" scribe Matt Drake made the Black List a few years ago and nearly fell apart not long after that. Shia LaBeouf was originally attached to star, then dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Zac Efron then came onboard, but the project hit a delay of nearly a year. That led to Efron departing and LaBeouf coming back.
Shot in Romania over the Summer, the story follows a young man (LaBeouf) who falls in love with a Hungarian girl named Gabi (Evan Rachel Wood). Unfortunately, Gabi is married to a violent and mentally unstable crime boss (Mads Mikkelsen). Armed with little more than his wit, the young man endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm's way.
LaBeouf reportedly tripped on acid for real while filming scenes where his character was on the drug. Commercials helmer Fredrik Bond, who has worked with musician Moby, helms the project and has brought Moby along to do the film's score. The film seems unusual for a rom-com, actually sounding more akin to a British or French gangster film. The real question is if LaBeouf and Wood share the requisite chemistry."

It's the height of tax season, and right now most of us are organizing our paperwork, looking for those 1099s, and trying to figure out what to deduct this year. But we have a warning about some former deductions no longer valid in 2014.
Were Valid Deductions...Until RecentlyDid you donate an old car to charity? You can no longer deduct the Blue Book value, as you could until a couple of years ago. Now you can deduct only what it sold for, which is often half the Blue Book value.Also, you can no longer deduct the sales tax you paid buying a new car.Additionally, be very careful taking a deduction for energy efficient appliances or insulation, unless your purchase specifically qualified under last year's rules. The days of almost every washing machine and refrigerator qualifying for a tax break ended in 2011. Nowadays, it must be a specific energy efficient heat pump, water heater or other device to get a break.Deductions You Can Never TakeThe IRS warns that you cannot deduct:-Legal fees, in most cases.-Pet care expenses, even if it's expensive surgery costing thousands of dollars. Human medical expenses are deductible, pet care costs are not.-Points paid when refinancing. You can deduct "points" only on a new home purchase.-Commuting costs. Driving to client meetings while on the job is deductible, but the gas you spend getting to work is not. Many people make this error, the IRS says.-Health club dues, unless it is under doctor's orders. You need to have a specific prescribed plan from a doctor for a gym or exercise plan to be tax deductible.If you're itemizing, either work with a professional, or look up the latest IRS list of what is deductible and what is not, so you don't get into trouble and don't waste your money.

City State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein met with 1st District Councilman Jim Kraft and a dozen neighbors to give an overview of the City State's Attorney's Office. The meeting, on Feb. 1 at the Admiral Fell Inn, was a follow-up to the November meeting at Max's on Broadway, which followed a spate of muggings and robberies in the Fell's Point area.
The meeting's handful of attendees, people who live in or work in the southeast, were eager to hear what Bernstein had to say. Afterward they vented about quality of life crimes, particularly in Fell's Point and Little Italy.
Bernstein, who defeated Patricia Jessamy to become State's Attorney in 2011, started off the meeting by highlighting some of the changes he has implemented in his office.
He said that upon his arrival the relationship between the State's Attorney's Office and the Baltimore City Police was "not as good as it could have been."
"The synergy that now exists is something that the city has not seen for some time. Police are much more cooperative in case-building," Bernstein said."Our conviction rate for the first six months of 2012 was close to 70 percent."
Bernstein next discussed his community prosecution model, which divides the city into three zones with zone-specific persecutors. Bernstein said zone prosecutors bring greater knowledge and familiarity to cases because they work in one geographic area. The Southeastern police district is part of zone one.
Attendees asked Bernstein what citizens could do to assist his office in getting more convictions.
"Police can't make arrests if people don't report crimes. That's step one. Police departments also make deployment decisions based on [reported crime] data," Bernstein said.
"Witnesses and victims also need to be willing to come to court and provide victim impact statements. These are given to judges and can have an impact on sentencing," he added
Bernstein then opened the meeting for residents to discuss their crime-related concerns.
Joy Giordano, executive director of Fell's Point's Main Street program, said vagrants and panhandlers were an ongoing challenge, particularly in the Fell's Point square and near Brown's Wharf.
"It's a problem, particularly during the Farmers' Market," Giordano said.
"If they're not aggressive during the daytime, you can't arrest them," Councilman Kraft explained.
"But is it acceptable for a person to sleep on a bench for 24 or 48 hours?" Giordano asked.
One meeting attendee said he'd like to chastise people who give panhandlers money.
"I'd say, 'Don't you dare give that panhandler money. Take him home to your neighborhood.'"
Bernstein said that he would bring up the matter of vagrants and panhandlers with Major Davis of the Southeastern District.
Kraft did as well. He added that he and Bernstein would try to arrange a public meeting with the zone one prosecutor, so southeast residents could get a better feel for how crimes in their area are being prosecuted.
Bernstein then told the group that his office and staff of 200 would be moving out of the court house early in 2013.
"We will be located in the SunTrust Bank building at 120 E. Baltimore St. on contiguous floors, not so spread out. It will be a huge change in how the State's Attorney's Office operates."

The GM1 gangliosidoses are caused by a deficiency of beta-galactosidase, with resulting abnormal storage of acidic lipid materials. GM1 has three forms: early infantile, late infantile, and adult.
Early infantile GM1 presents with onset shortly after birth including seizures, hepatosplenomegaly, coarsening of facial features, skeletal irregularities, joint stiffness, muscle weakness and exaggerated startle response to sound. Cherry-red spots in the eyes are common. Patients may be deaf and blind by age 1 and often die by age 3 from cardiac complications or pneumonia.
Late infantile GM1 typically presents between ages 1 and 3 years with ataxia and seizure.
Onset of adult GM1 is between ages 3 and 30 with muscle atrophy, corneal clouding in some patients, and dystonia. Angiokeratomas may develop on the lower part of the trunk of the body. Most patients have a normal size liver and spleen.

Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by eaglestrike09 Top of the line Abu I bought the 6'9" MHF rod and used it for plastic texas rigged baits! This rod is very sensitive and casts a 3/16 bullit and a baby brush hog way out there!! The rod is wicked looking paired up with the MGX reel!!!! When the fish would bite I had no problem determining the fish, limb, rock or weeds!!! Loved it!! get one you will love it too!!!!!! September 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by tnd014 Broke after only a few uses I bought this rod from Dicks for my boyfriend as a birthday present in April. He loved the sensitivity of the 7'1 rod. However, while fishing this past weekend, he put a spinner bait on it and when he cast, the rod completely snapped in two!!! Needless to say I will be returning it this afternoon but we were both very disappointed that this happened. Not sure if it was a defect or what happened but I was definitely hoping for better quality considering the amount of money I spent on it. June 3, 2013

Brasil is Uruguay's second stomping ground. It's true. Their national team has won nearly as many times in Brasil as Brasil.
Back when football teams only just started to rack up wins and trophies, Uruguay reigned over all. Small yet mighty, sky blue yet bold, the 1920s national team kicked off a winning legacy. Decades of accolades followed – including 1950 world title in Brasil – which proved to the world that Los Charrúas were a force to be reckoned with.
The team looks to repeat history this summer. When they compete in Brasil, they'll don this shirt. It pays homage to that original 1920s team, specifically the shirt worn when they won gold at 1924 Summer Games in Paris. Iconic design elements, retro style, and signature colors are reborn from tradition, remixed with modern technology, and ready for new football moments in Brasil. And beyond.

The people over at Wald International beg to disagree because they've just released a pretty daft package for the British luxury car. No matter the consternation we have for such a program, you can't deny the skills of Wald International, especially when it comes to dressing up cars that are as exclusive as the Phantom Drophead Coupe. To their credit, the Japanese tuner fitted the Rolls with a comprehensive body kit, complete with a new front bumper that comes with a set of vertical LED running lights. The kit also has new air vents that have been cut into the fenders. There's also a new front lip, mesh air intake inserts, new side skirts, and a new rear bumper that comes with a small rear diffuser with dual exhaust pipes.
All in all, it's pretty extensive. Maybe even a little too extensive. But give Wald International credit; these guys know how to catch attention with their projects, especially when they use one of the most luxurious cars on the face of the planet.

Worst dollar-store purchases
Pens, vitamins and toothpaste are on his list.
We're all for dollar stores. They can provide savings, many people agree. At last count, 55% of about 423,000 people who have participated in an MSN Money online poll said they sometimes shop at dollar stores, and 36% said they frequently do. (Another 3% chose "I'd never set foot in one.")
But there are some products "rutgerskevin" of The Red Stapler Chronicles recommends you avoid, via his post called "The 10 dumbest things to buy at a dollar store." First on his list are home pregnancy tests.
- Find on Bing: Dollar stores thriving in recession
Pregnancy test from the dollar store? That's a product you'd want to spend more on for a result you can trust. "I almost bought this just to see what it looked like, but the girlfriend vetoed this idea in disgust," Kevin said. (Update: A lot of our women readers said the dollar store pregnancy tests work just fine.)
That gets to a point about dollar-store shopping. Some items, like gift wrap and shampoo, are perfectly fine as well as a bargain. But others are not. Dollar store batteries are often the carbon-zinc kind and will wear out quicker. Electrical cords and similar products may not be adequately tested for safety. Also, the MSN Money slide show "Dollar-store deals and duds" says, "Jewelry and vinyl lunchboxes have been recalled from dollar stores as dangerous sources of lead."
Other samples from Kevin's recommendations of dollar-store products to avoid:
- Pens. He bought co-workers 10-packs of dollar-store pens, which didn't work or quickly broke. One leaked on a co-worker's shirt. "I was mortified!!" Kevin wrote (in mock horror).
- Vitamins. They could be sugar pills, Kevin wrote. MSN Money said, "Several years ago, Consumer Reports found that half of the dollar-store brands it studied contained less of the vitamins than the labels indicated and didn't dissolve properly when ingested." Contrary to what you might expect, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not tightly control these products.
- Any kind of paste, including toothpaste and treatments for rashes. MSN Money added: "In 2007, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers that many brands of toothpaste found at dollar stores carried diethylene glycol, a poisonous chemical found in antifreeze."
- Tampons. Considering the risk of toxic shock syndrome, we'd have to agree. You want to be absolutely confident about the materials they're made from.
- Perishable food. Kevin found a box of fruit bars that was dated 2002. Maybe still safe to eat. "However, all signs pointed to this product being on various stores' shelves for seven years," Kevin observed.
Kevin's bonus tip: "If they spell the name of the product incorrectly, I would not put it in your mouth. Just some words to live by."

Stone said stocks are trading sideways in part because many investors are awaiting economic reports later this week, especially the employment report. There is agreement among economists and analysts that the economy slowed in the fourth quarter, he said, and this week's numbers will help answer the question of "how slow, and how much did it impact employment."
The yield in the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.97 percent from 1.95 percent late Friday, reflecting lower demand for ultra-safe investments. After Monday's factory orders report, the yield rose briefly above 2 percent for the first time since April. A bond's yield rises as demand for it decreases.

Pat is curiously confident and upbeat for a man just released from a mental hospital and under a restraining order from his wife. That's because he's determined to repair the damage he's done to his life and surprise everyone by moving ever onward and upward. His motto is, "Excelsior!" What stage of bipolar disorder would you guess he's in?
At the top of his priority list is rebuilding his marriage with his wife; after they split, he beat up her new boyfriend, but what's past is past. Pat (Bradley Cooper) assures his parents, Pat Sr. and Dolores (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver), that all will be well. They're not so sure. One of the charms of "Silver Linings Playbook," the screwy new comedy by David O. Russell, is how Dolores is a sane and caring woman and has had long experience in dealing with compulsive behavior, because her husband is a fanatic fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. Having been banned from the Eagles' stadium for fighting, Pat Sr. now focuses uneasily on his TV set, convinced that the Eagles will win only if his several superstitions are fulfilled.
Pat Jr. in desperation is drawn toward Tiffany (2010 Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence), a young widow in the neighborhood. Lawrence appears here much transformed from the woman we saw in "Winter's Bone" and "The Hunger Games." Still only 22, she looks softer, sweeter and somehow prettier than before, yet she plays Tiffany as all edges and elbows, who can understand Pat because she's crazy herself. People call her a slut, and she agrees. She's pissed off about Pat because he continues to obsess about his ex-wife — and also because much of her value to him is that's she's still in contact with the other woman.
In supporting roles, we meet Danny (Chris Tucker), Pat's fellow patient at the hospital, and Dr. Cliff Patel (Anupam Kher), his shrink. Danny's worried that Pat's off his meds. Dr. Patel plays an increasingly common type in American movies, the Indian immigrant who seems to embody certain stereotypes and then is revealed to be completely assimilated.
Tiffany thinks she and Pat should have sex. Pat objects. He doesn't want to be unfaithful to his ex-wife. Tiffany's eyes narrow. We realize Pat doesn't have a chance. This all builds up into a classic screwball comedy situation in which two bets are inspired — one involving an Eagles-Cowboys game and the other involving a ballroom dancing contest that Tiffany has forced Pat to join her in with a form of emotional blackmail.
How these bets play out I will, of course, not hint. I will note that Pat, in keeping with family tradition, gets in trouble at the game for fighting. Don't you sometimes wish movies watched other movies? Imagine Pat running into the Patton Oswalt character from "Big Fan." How cool would that be?
I love actors. I've been on an almost lifelong journey with Robert De Niro, and feel intimately familiar with him as an actor (not as a person). Here his work unobtrusively charmed my socks off. He's harmlessly obsessed with the Eagles, gratefully in love with his wife and cluelessly supportive of his son, who he doesn't realize is an apple who has fallen very close to the tree.
One of the ingenious and sort of brave accomplishments of Russell's screenplay (inspired by a novel by Matthew Quick) is the way it requires both father and son to face and deal with their mental problems and against all odds finds a way to do that through both an Eagles game and a dance contest. We're fully aware of the plot conventions at work here, the wheels and gears churning within the machinery, but with these actors, this velocity and the oblique economy of the dialogue, we realize we don't often see it done this well. "Silver Linings Playbook" is so good, it could almost be a terrific old classic.

Two men are safe after their 18-wheeler truck cab caught fire as they were in it Thursday morning.
Shortly after midnight, the truck that was hauling Little Debbie snacks developed a problem. The driver pulled over on the southbound Stemmons Freeway near Hiline Drive when his "check engine" light came on.
As he began to check the rig, he realized the engine was on fire. He quickly woke the other man, who was in the sleeper compartment of the truck. Together they managed to unhitch the trailer and move the cab further up the road.
The men called 911 and tried to put out the flames themselves with fire extinguishers, but it took Dallas firefighters to quench the flames with water hoses.
Fortunately, no one was injured.

Just 2 percent of adults consider President Obama the greatest of an eclectic collection of 27 world leaders from Mother Teresa to Che Guevara, putting Obama near the bottom of the handful of American politicians on the list. Former President Reagan topped that category at 10 percent.
The new YouGov/Economist survey had Obama just above former President Clinton, whom 1 percent consider the greatest. The list was topped by Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King Jr., who each won 12 percent.
Reagan tied for second on the greatest list with Albert Einstein, also at 10 percent.
Obama didn't fare much better when the pollster asked the survey sample of 1,000 to grade the 27 world leaders from "great" to "not great." Just 15 percent graded Obama as great, putting him 24th on that list. Another 21 percent called Obama "near great," and a whopping 56 percent called him "not great."

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. -- More than 15 vehicles were vandalized this week in the Otis Orchards area.
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office is searching for the person or people who are responsible for smashing the vehicles' windows Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Cars on Wellesley Road between Campbell Road and the Idaho state line were damaged, including Dan Hendrix's.
"It's very sad. It cost a lot of people a lot of money," Hendrix, who lost $245 alone, said.
Nothing was taken from his car, which makes him think someone did this just to cause trouble.
"This is a pretty quiet neighborhood. That's why we live out here."
Deputies do not have any suspect information. Anyone with details on this investigation should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Tipsters with information leading to a conviction could collect a cash reward.

Thursday marked Dr. Kriner Cash's last day as superintendent of Memphis City Schools.
As with any leadership position, the job of superintendent comes with challenges and controversies, as well as fans and foes. Dr. Cash saw plenty of these things during his time in Memphis.
Some might say Dr. Cash took over an impossible situation when he came to Memphis five years ago. MCS was a school district with "performance problems" and budget issues. Dr. Cash announced he would step down from the superintendent post earlier this month, saying there should be only "one-leader" during the school merger between Memphis City and Shelby County Schools.
Dr. Cash was hired in 2008. He soon-after outlined his 100-day plan to improve student achievement. However, later that year, he cut more than 100 teachers.
In 2009, under Dr. Cash's leadership, MCS was awarded a $90 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Dr. Cash was also featured that same year in TIME magazine for his vision to open a residential school that would house homeless students. That same year, he also opened the first school-based health clinic at Northside High.
In 2010, Memphis City Schools surrendered its charter, putting Dr. Cash's future in doubt.
In July of 2011, Dr. Cash and the School Board threatened to delay the first day of school because the city owed the district money. The city later paid MCS $3 million, so school could start.
In 2012, two of Dr. Cash's employees came under fire. In February, Deputy Superintendent Irving Hamer resigned after making inappropriate comments to a woman at Dr. Cash's house. In September of that same year, one of Dr. Cash's drivers was investigated for texting a teenager. However, the case was later dismissed.
In June of 2012, the Unified School Board voted it would not renew Dr. Cash's contract. On Jan. 11, 2013, Dr. Cash resigned from his post as superintendent. He will continue to be paid until July 31.
Dorsey Hopson, attorney for Memphis City Schools, will take over as interim superintendent until the district dissolves July. 1
