a question that you posed this morning that they're still debating about in our newsroom. but elizabeth lambert of new mexico has been suspended indefinitely for this behavior we showed you on friday on the field. just out of control. her ponytail takedown there on cassidy shumway. the mountain west conference su sports the suspension but the season is likely over. however, as a junior her suspension could carry over. meanwhile, remember this guy, brandon spikes, gouging a player's eyes? he got suspended for a half game. in fact he lengthened it to a full game. is there a double standard here in sports? matt from atlanta posted, in my opinion there is a double standard but it's okay. college football generates huge revenue. female soccer on the other hand does not. ouch! obviously the male football players should be given a little more leniency due to the amount of money they generate for the school and tv networks. meanwhile joshua from nevada wrote this is a complete double standard. i don't understand why their conferences don't invoke or show more support to punish the

i have worked in both newspaper and newsrooms that were unionized and ones that weren't. i can tell you this. the way wal-mart operates now would not be possible in a union environment. if stores started to vote to unionize one store at a time, those stores would have to be run dramatically differently. because the kinds of things unions are interested in and the kinds of things wal-mart are interested in is simply a conflict. so wal-mart would be completely transformed if you could waive a magic wand and unionize it. as part of an effort to improve its own i willagened treat its employees a little better. it now pays on average, it says $11.25 an hour 40 above minimum wage. so there are places to work that aren't as good as wal-mart but when you look at the blue jeans on sale for $9. if you're buying a full pair of adult jeans it includes both legs. right and left for $9 you can't possibly imagine the people putting them on the shelves are making a lot of money. so we bear some responsibility for that as well. host: so being non-unionized, what other benefits does wal-ma

felicia taylor is in the newsroom in new york. people are saving more but then what? >> right.that's exactly the problem. thank goodness people are saving more. what do you do with maybe say, $1,000? a round number that you might have set aside. money magazine has some creative ideas on how to spend or invest it. the first suggestion is to buy a no load stock bond. these three have a minimum investment of only $1,000. that's unusual because most minimums are closer to $2,500. let's look at the five-year returns. close to 6%, which is pretty good. meridian is 4.3. and select america is only two. that's not bad considering the stou itself was off 33% last year. also another idea, spend a few hours with a fee only financial planner. they typically charge about $150 to $250 an hour. if you're not sure where to find one, garrett planning network.com is a great place to start. this is also a great time, people wouldn't have thought of this, to upgrade your appliances. there are plenty of highly rated ones that cost less than $1,000. the epa says replacing old models with energy star
