Christine Adkins here with your morning fix:

Toll booth workers are going to get nicer! At least thatÂ’s the hope, after the NJ Turnpike forces collectors to take mandatory customer service courses. Also, click here for a veritable treasure trove of NJ Turnpike complaints.

April FoolÂ’s Day is here, so get ready for apps that help practical jokers make the best of this holiday.

Haiti just received more aid, this time it’s over $10 billion from international donors via the UN’s conference “Towards a New Future for Haiti.”

Natives on both sides arenÂ’t fans of the proposed marriage between Indian tennis player Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricket player Shoaib Malik. The announcement sparked protests, many citizens publicly burning photos of the international stars.

Thoughts on the newest Apple invention, the iPad? Let ‘em rip folks.
