If you've texted with an iPhone user in the past few days, you've probably had a tough time reading their messages.That's because a bug with the latest version of the phone's operating system is causing problems with a single letter — the capital I.Over the weekend, users began reporting bugs when trying to type messages with a capital I. For some reason, the letter auto corrects to a capital A with an unknown character.  448

In California’s Coachella Valley, people are concerned about catching the novel coronavirus.“They’re scared; they’re freaking out,” said Jorge Garcia, who contracted the virus. “I was scared at first because you hear a lot of stories that people don’t make it, they get really sick.” A lot of people in the desert community, located about two hours east of Los Angeles, are getting sick.Local county health officials report more than 36,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the area and more than 680 deaths.Now, health experts say there aren't enough doctors and nurses to handle the spike in cases.“At one point we had over 90 patients in the hospital with COVID,” said Alan Williamson, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage, Ca. “I think we had about three beds available at our peak.”Williamson says his staff is overworked and pushed to its limits. And that bringing in traveling nurses to help lighten the load is no longer an option.“Because of national nature of this pandemic, all of those resources were basically tapped out,” he said.Now, help is on the way from the United States military.“The Department of Defense is committed to this fight,” said U.S. Army Major General Mike Stone, who is helping lead a joint military team to help civilian hospitals fight COVID-19.“We’re tailoring the force,” he said. “We’re giving exactly what’s required where it’s needed on the frontlines to save people’s lives.”To help slow the spread of this virus and provide relief for staff, Stone says the Department of Defense has sent nearly 600 health care workers from different branches of the military to support almost two dozen hospitals in California and Texas.“There is a lot of need and if we can save a life, that’s why we’re there,” he said.The cost of this mission has not been totaled, but Stone says the price is well worth it, as the military shows its commitment to the country.“When the chips are down, America always pulls together,” he said. “We’re here for however long it takes.” 2032

I know, I know. You’ve probably heard all about how you should renegotiate your bills to save money. But that’s easier said than done, right?That’s why I tried it out. I called up some of my service providers and attempted to cut the cost of my bills.Here’s how you can learn from my successes — and improve upon my failures. (Spoiler alert: Be prepared to make sacrifices.)Formulate a game planIt’s a good idea to call up your service providers and subscription services annually to negotiate a better rate, ask about new promotions or cancel unnecessary bills. This is a powerful tool to save money.These tactics can be used for securing a better deal on cable, internet, subscription services and more.First, review all of your recurring payments by identifying charges on your credit card and bank account. Then, decide if you really want (or need) those anymore.Make a list of the bills you would like to lower or cut out entirely. On my list: Satellite radio, cable, a clothing subscription and a movie loyalty program.Next, look up each company’s website. You’ll usually find a variety of contact methods, including live chat, text messaging, email and a phone number.While you’re searching online, gather information about your current package and pricing, as well as any new promotions from your current company or competitors that can be used as leverage.Cut out what you don’t needSet aside a block of time — maybe an hour or so — and work your way through the list.My first call was to our satellite radio service provider. My husband and I have a SiriusXM subscription. But after months of spotty reception in our car, I decided it was time to cut the service completely.Instead, over the course of a 10-minute phone call, I asked to cancel, then I was met with a better offer. Before, we paid .63 per month. Now, we pay .06 a month for 12 months (for the same plan). Plus, they threw in a free month.Threatening to cancel a service can be a bargaining tactic. Here, it was the truth — I was fully ready and willing to cancel. And it got me a better price.Next? That clothing subscription. A five-minute online chat with athletic brand Fabletics resulted in me canceling my membership. Before, I paid .95 a month as an account credit, unless I logged into my account and shopped or skipped by the fifth day of the month.The customer service representative offered a store credit to stay, but I went ahead and canceled anyway.DowngradeBe patient. There’s a time commitment involved. Plus, things don’t always work out.I spent 45 minutes online chatting, then talking on the phone with DirecTV. But even after consulting with two representatives, my monthly payment remained around 0 before and after my interaction.I was told there weren’t any discounts or promotions currently available for my account. And since I didn’t want to downgrade my package (I’m not ready to give up those Lifetime movies on LMN or game shows on Game Show Network), I’ll have to wait for future offers.If you’re willing to change your TV lineup, review available channel packages online to find a slimmed-down option that works for you. Or call and talk to a representative.Ask for helpRenegotiating bills is perhaps more important now, especially for those who are dealing with financial impacts related to the coronavirus. As the pandemic began taking an economic toll in the spring, providers across a broad spectrum of industries stepped up to extend payment assistance and waive late fees for customers.I contacted some service providers to see how they’re continuing to help consumers who are struggling.Most telecommunications companies, such as Dish and Comcast, provided similar advice: If existing customers have questions or are interested in lower monthly payments, they should go online or call customer service.Contact companies proactively, and if you’ve been laid off or otherwise affected by the pandemic, be honest about your situation.Look for resources that don’t require any effort, too. I thought I might need to cancel or renegotiate my -a-year AMC Stubs Premiere movie theater loyalty account. But the company had already temporarily paused my account in light of movie theater closures.Renegotiating bills didn’t save me enough money to retire early. But I’ll manage to hold onto almost 0 over the next 12 months — which is more than if I hadn’t picked up the phone.This article was written by NerdWallet and was originally published by The Associated Press.More From NerdWalletFeeling Out of Control?

HOUSTON (AP) — President George H.W. Bush said a lot with socks.A visit from friend and fellow former president, Bill Clinton, inspired him to wear a pair emblazoned with Clinton's face. He wore Houston Texans' socks when meeting with the head coach. At the funeral for his wife, Barbara Bush, he wore socks featuring books as a tribute to her work promoting literacy.Bush, who was a naval aviator in World War II, will be buried this week wearing socks featuring jets flying in formation — a tribute, his spokesman says, to the former president's lifetime of service. The mayor of Houston urged people attending a City Hall tribute to Bush on Monday evening to wear colorful socks in memory of the former president, who died Friday at age 94 .Michael Meaux, who worked in the U.S. State Department under Bush's son, former President George W. Bush, sported a pair of hot-pink socks as he waited for Monday evening's tribute to begin."I've had them for a while, but I've never worn them before," Meaux said, laughing.Bush was one of several a high-profile figures to adopt a menswear trend of using socks to add a bit of flash to an outfit. Others include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The trend hit a peak in the men's market four years ago, said Marshal Cohen, a chief industry adviser of the market research firm NPD Group.It has endured, with color and novelty driving growth in the market, he said. And as menswear became more casual, socks replaced the tie as a conversation piece."Year after year we got more and more casual and the fun novelty sock became an opportunity of expression," Cohen said. "As we got rid of ties, guys still wanted to be able to put some style to a navy suit or a black suit."The socks can add some fun and color to an outfit, while also making a statement.Bush embraced the practice, and gave it meaning.In March, the former president tweeted a photo of himself wearing a brightly colored pair of "Down Syndrome Super Hero" socks sent to him by John Cronin, a 22-year-old New York man with Down syndrome who with his father runs an online business selling socks.Cronin's mother, Carol Cronin, said her son and Bush became "kind of sock buddies." Not long after starting John's Crazy Socks , John Cronin learned of Bush's love of colorful socks and sent him a box. After Barbara Bush died in April, it was Cronin who sent Bush the socks featuring books that he wore at her funeral.Carol Cronin said that when her son learned that it was Bush who signed the Americans with Disabilities Act banning workplace discrimination of people with disabilities and requiring improved access to public places and transportation, he felt their connection was "meant to be.""The inclusiveness that is envisioned by that legislation has changed his life and every other person who has a differing ability for the better," said Cronin, who noted that the majority of employees hired for the business have differing abilities.She said her son's idea of starting a sock business turned out to be a successful and fulfilling one."I think it lets people express themselves in a subtle way," she said.___Stengle reported from Dallas. 3164

If you’re shopping for a car, you may already know that buying used is a smart move that greatly expands your choices. The key is knowing where to look for them.Buying a used car will not only save you money but also allow you to shop higher-end brands, says Ivan Drury, Edmunds.com’s senior manager of insights. For example, maybe you wanted a new Toyota Camry. Instead, he says, you can save about ,000 and get a 3-year-old Lexus.Because of the bankruptcy of Hertz rental car agency, along with the many cars coming off lease, there are a lot of used vehicles to choose from, says Jeff Huang, who attends auctions as the remarketing sales supervisor at Westlake Financial Services. “A good used car is a real value proposition — and there are definitely deals to be had,” Huang says.Shoppers looking for great bargains will find them in cars older than 7 years, says Mark Holthoff, used car editor at Klipnik, a website for used car enthusiasts. “That’s because the depreciation curve has mostly been flattened,” he says. For example, a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, costing ,000 new, now sells for about ,000.Shop in the right placeNew cars are sold only by franchised dealers, but used cars can be purchased from a variety of sellers:Used car departments at new-car dealerships.Used car superstores such as CarMax.Online used car sellers such as Carvana, Shift and Vroom.Car rental sales lots.Independent used car lots.Private parties.Public auctions.You’ll typically find the newest and more expensive models at new-car dealers’ used-car lots, the only place to turn if you want a certified car with a warranty and factory financing. Prices are likely to be higher than other lots’ but negotiable.National used-car chains such as CarMax, online retailers and rental car agencies also offer newer cars, often with factory warranty remaining. You can also get a loan and buy extended warranties. Prices are typically no-haggle.Independent lots, private parties and public auctions typically deal in older or cheaper cars. The upside is that you may find a 20-year-old one-owner cream puff, cheap. It does happen. But most cars have had several previous owners, and a checkered past is not rare. Plus, you’ll have to arrange your own financing.Adjust your expectationsThere is a built-in risk-versus-reward element to used car shopping: The more you’re willing to spend, the less chance the car will need repairs and overdue maintenance. Here’s an overview of the three price levels of used cars:High-end used cars: If your budget is over, say, ,000, you might consider getting a certified pre-owned (CPO) car from a dealer. Shopping for a CPO car is easier because it’s pre-inspected and comes with an included warranty. While you’ll have to pay a premium, you’ll also be able to buy a car with more modern technology and safety features. Of course, you can always buy a non-CPO car and purchase an extended warranty.Midrange used cars: A sweet spot for used car buying is a 3-year-old vehicle coming off a lease. Many of these cars will sell for 40% of their original price and still retain a new-car feel, according to Drury. Another source of near-new bargain-priced vehicles is car rental lots. According to an iSeeCars analysis, Hertz vehicles are selling for an average of ,389 below market value.Older used cars: Many people are afraid that cars from 7 to 15 years old will require costly repairs. But Holthoff points out that new cars can effectively cost the owner ,000 a month in depreciation.“You might have to spend money on a repair, but depreciation is a constant,” he says.To offset repairs, set aside 0 a month so sudden mechanic bills won’t deplete your savings.It’s best to buy older cars from private-party sellers because you can get a better idea of the mechanical condition, Holthoff advises. A used car dealer will show you the vehicle history report, but a private party might have the service records and can answer many other questions.Look for unexpected valueThe used car market is vast and, if you can spot an outlier, you can save big money. Here are a few examples of how to find that diamond in the rough:Cars that haven’t been recently redesigned will sell for less. Check car sites such as Edmunds.com to find out when the last time major changes were made to a model.While there is a stigma to buying a used rental car, the vehicles are well-maintained and priced lower than buying from dealers, Drury says.If a car dealer’s vehicle history report shows you are looking at a former rental car, leave and buy a similar one directly from the rental agency’s sales lot. You’re likely to find it cheaper.Be willing to travel to an area where the car you want is less popular. For example, all-wheel-drive vehicles sell for less in the southern U.S., where winter driving isn’t a factor.Be willing to travel to a more competitive market. A Honda dealer with a city to itself has less pressure to dicker on a CPO vehicle than a dealer in a city with three or four rivals.Used luxury cars often offer the biggest savings, according to Holthoff. The money you save on the purchase can be used if any repairs are needed.More From NerdWalletDon’t Fall for COVID-19 Student Loan Relief ScamsGet Your Finances Ready to Refi Student Loans5 Reasons It’s Smart to Lease a Car Right NowPhilip Reed is a writer at NerdWallet.
