REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Student identification cards issued this week with the name of the school and its town misspelled are only temporary, school officials said.

Given the level of today's education, it's amazing they noticed.

HINGHAM, Mass., Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Police in Massachusetts said they arrested a woman who attacked a store clerk with a Slim Jim meat snack and a bottle of apple juice...The woman allegedly threw a bottle of apple juice at the clerk, striking him in the head, and punched him before throwing the Slim Jim snack at him. Then, police said, she tore down the store's flag and drove away in a black Saab convertible.

We usually don't expect Saab owners to do things like that.  They usually attack with tofu and vegetarian delicacies.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif., Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A California defense attorney said he delivered his closing arguments in a case despite suffering a major heart attack early in the day.
Michael Lukehart said he woke up with major chest paints at 5 a.m. Monday but he ignored the signs of the heart problem and went to the Bakersfield courthouse to deliver his closing arguments in a case, KERO-TV, Bakersfield, reported Wednesday.

Well, he's either dumb or dedicated, or maybe both, but it's always good to report the story of a devoted lawyer.  No indication in the story of which way the case is going.
