FREAKY FRIDAY: Family wakes to find a car in their pool
By Carlos
A family got a rude awakening early Sunday when a car plowed through the cinder block wall surrounding their backyard and ended up submerged in their swimming pool.
"We woke up to an awful noise and looked outside, and a car was in the pool," said Janelle Diaz, 16.
"We had always joked around about it - that someone was going to end up in the pool - because they've hit our wall before," she added.
The guy that drove the Lexus into the pool only suffered minor injuries in the crash.

FREAKY FRIDAY: By 2013, you might not even have to lace your own shoes…
By Britt
The world of research and development seems finally to be catching on to the hard fact that each and every one of us simply wants to be Marty McFly. To that end, science geek and super-inventor Blake Bevin has created a working prototype of self-lacing shoes, akin to the Nike Air 2015 Kicks worn by Michael J. Fox in the classic 1985-1990 film franchise, Back to the Future. The plucky Bevin has moved her operations to Melbourne, Australia, to develop the product further and aims to have them in stores next year, at under $200 a pair. More than just fashion, she's hoping they could serve a purpose for people with disabilities.

Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day to Cross Off Your List…
By Britt
Grocery store flowers. Come on, the woman who birthed you deserves more than a $5 bouquet of daisies you noticed next to the donuts. If you’re going to give flowers, think florist. Or give a pot of live flowers that she can enjoy all summer long.
Small appliances. Just because your mom is still using the beat up toaster she got on her wedding day does not mean she needs a new one on Mother’s Day. Besides, giving your mom a toaster just says, “Mom, make me some toast.”
Exercise equipment. Even if your mom works out every day and looks like a Greek goddess, do not give her new workout gear. You may as well tell her she's fat to her face. She can buy her own workout gadgets, thank you very much.
DIY facials. Sure there’s lots of pampering goodies to be found at make-up section of Target, but if you really want to surprise mom, send her to a spa.
Coupons for chores. You and she both know these coupons will never be redeemed. If you want to offer your time and labor, do it on Mother’s Day.
Anything from the Dollar Store. Just turn around slowly and put down the 99 cent garden gnome. You’ll thank us later.
