...Delta say they are considering similar charges; Continental declined to comment on American's plan. Southwest Airline - one carrier that is feeling relatively less of the pain, having locked in 70% of its 2008 oil supply at $51 a barrel - said it had "no plans" to institute a bag fee. But even Southwest expects to pay $800 million more in fuel costs in 2008 than last year (compared to United's extimated $2 billion in extra costs). "Our fuel hedges have allowed us to remain profitable, compared to other carriers, but they don't provide full protection against escalating fuel...
...green coincides with a fervor among couples to go green. Conte's engagement ring is a family heirloom--free of both cost and conflict. Conte and Kielich's caterer is a local farmer, so all the meat and seasonal produce will come straight from the source, without a middleman fee.

But most of the services that tackle this problem want us to either "rent" downloadable video--typically for a day or two--or buy the bits outright. Products range from the nifty Apple TV set-top box--which has the added virtue of connecting to YouTube--to Vudu, whose sleek device links your TV to a library of 6,000 films and TV shows. Both products are promising and let you rent...
...grand scheme of things, a one-dollar refund might not seem like much. But in the case of the Harvard University Health Services (UHS) policy that grants students with a “strong moral objection” to abortion a refund on a portion of their health fee, this dollar has more serious implications. It not only undermines the efficacy of University health policy, but also unduly elevates the moral claims of anti-abortionists above all other moral claims...
