On January 21, 2010 Toyota issued a recall of 2.3 million vehicles of eight different models. The reason, faulty gas pedals that can stick or suddenly accelerate, even while the car is stopped. Adding to Toyota’s troubles, they do not yet know the cause of the problem and shut down production lines. Once they identify the issue engineers must then design a remedy for the recalled cars and have it approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall has now expanded to the European markets, and also comes on the heels of a 4.5 million vehicle recall in Fall 2009 because of floor mats that jammed accelerators. Estimates are this recall will cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars and Toyota will need to work hard to convince customers of the brand’s safety and reliability. Other car manufacturers are seizing the opportunity and are offering incentives for consumers who trade in a Toyota for one of their vehicles.

He quickly emerged and told is accomplices that there was no one minding the store – no one to open the register. A witness saw all of this take place and called the police who quickly arrested the trio.

California’s Menifee Union School District made headlines this week when administrators pulled a book from their shelves that was deemed “age inappropriate.” The offending book, Merriam –Webster’s Dictionary. One parent complained to administrators after a curious child looked up the meaning of “oral sex.” School officials are forming a committee to determine the final verdict—and in the meantime, kids must turn elsewhere for the childhood right-of-passage to look up “dirty words” in the dictionary.

Dieter and Rosemarie Friebel could not figure out why, for years, the plants they tended to so carefully kept dying. The Hamburg, Germany couple even considered having the soil tested for poison but it was cost prohibitive. They never would have imagined that their neighbor, whom they had an ongoing feud with, was doing obscene things to their foliage in the middle of the night. But, when they anonymously received a CD containing 12 videos of the neighbor urinating on the plants, the mystery was solved. The neighbor has since apologized.

Historically the stock market demonstrates investment gains in the long-term. Unfortunately USA Today reports the 2000s are being called the “Lost Decade.” Not because of the popular ABC series, but rather the loss in investment income. This is the first time that the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index will end a decade with a negative return. In concrete terms, $1 invested in the S&P 500 on December 31, 1999 would have an approximate value of .90 at the close of 2009. Other investments did fare much better these past ten years: $1 invested in bonds would have almost doubled and $1 invested in gold would be close to quadrupling.

“Heated homes are a modern concept” says Laura Nichols, the 2008 New Jersey “furnace abstinence” winner. She is one of many people in some of the colder parts of the United States that are willingly turning off the heat in their homes to see who can last the longest. This is the third year of the contest and it appears this was born from an interest in reducing one’s carbon footprint but the tight economy has spurred others to join as well. Space heaters and fireplaces are allowed and some folks have even resorted to Snuggies and old-fashioned remedies like sleeping with pets and hot water bottles!

Bob Garrison of Henniker, New Hampshire dubbed himself the “Trail Bandit” and set out to right some wrongs. He is an avid hiker and found that a number of trails in Ossipee Mountains had become abandoned and overgrown. So, armed with GPS and a machete, he spent over 10 years clearing ten to fifteen miles of the paths and distributed maps. However some of the land is on private property (including a driveway) and other parts contained endangered species. Because of his work, some property owners have “posted” their land by putting up no trespassing signs. As a result Garrison was told by officials to stop his work and is currently banned from the area.

In the United States, the day after Thanksgiving is known as “Black Friday”. It is the unofficial start of the Christmas shopping season. It achieved its name because for many retailers it marks the time of the year that they go from a loss (in the red) to a profit (in the black). To maximize the day, stores open extraordinarily early and a rare few remain open for 24 hours. The earliest shoppers get the best deals on desirable items that are in strict limited quantity (called doorbusters). Unfortunately, some people take that term very literally and press up against the doors in an effort to be the first in. This “mob mentality” has caused some tragic accidents in recent years. In 2008, an employee at a Long Island, NY Wal-Mart was trampled to death when the crowd took the doors off their hinges and rushed inside.
