...Section 501 groups, unlike political action committees or campaigns, are not required to publicly disclose their donors, who are permitted to make unlimited donations. And nonprofits are under little obligation to open up their books to show where those cash streams are used. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example, regularly relies on a Sacramento-based nonprofit, the California State Protocol Foundation, to pay for his overseas travel, including private jets.

It is clear that these appeals are not working. In order to ensure participation, each student should have to complete their course evaluations in order to receive his or her grades at the end of the semester. If a student fails to fill...
...credit-card company. Nokia will soon have available in Finland cell phones that contain two chips, one for mobile-telephone service and one from Visa that adds a nifty credit-card function to the handset. The Visa chip will allow a customer to hold the phone near a cash register and push a button to pay a bill rather than having a clerk swipe a credit card. The digital mobile phone can replace the customer's signature as well...
