• And to think, someone in an office called the Office of the Special Counsel, spent time on giving fashion tips to employees. (Chicago Tribune.)
• For the sake of our photo-literate community, here's an idea from a Detroit couple that maybe holds some intrigue. Or maybe not. (Detroit News.)
• Here's another community benefitting from increased spending on homeland security. (San Diego Union Tribune.)
• Forgetting your wallet at the store may not be a huge problem in the future, if this technology spreads to our area. (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.)
