The dishwasher is supposed to clean your dishes and glasses, but recently consumers have been discovering clean glasses are coming out cloudy. Consumers are going crazy trying to figure out why, all of a sudden, cloudy glasses are coming out of clean dishwashers. It’s a simple chore: dirty dishes in, clean dishes out -- but maybe it’s not so simple any more. Consumers are clearly confused to see cloudy glasses pulled out of a clean dishwasher. “They look cloudy, it's hard to explain: like they're smudged, like they're dirty,” said Angela Tandy.

Dozens of children across Alaska will be handed lemons Saturday in an effort to spread entrepreneurial spirit and business ethics, as they celebrate Lemonade Day by opening beverage stands to quench visitors' thirst. The University of Alaska's Center for Economic Development and the University of Alaska Anchorage's College of Business and Public Policy are both backing the event, which is being held for its third consecutive year Saturday. UA officials say the day is meant to teach participants as young as kindergarten through 12th grade skills like financial literacy, attracting investors and creating a business plan.

They're real human bodies frozen in time through a process called plastination. The Body Worlds Vital exhibition makes its Alaska debut next month at the Anchorage Museum. "We want to show to the public, the wonder of the human body, the intricacies of the human body, and how the human body can inspire better health,” said museum director James Pepper Henry. Henry says museum members were surveyed on what on the kind of exhibitions they would want to see and an overwhelming majority wanted Body Worlds, but that doesn't mean everyone is happy about it. "I find the exhibit morally problematic at a minimum, and I would not encourage parents with young children to take them there," said Father Tom Lilly, the Vicar-General in the Anchorage Catholic Diocese.
