...Flight Oscar Lineup. Virgin America is adding 25 new films to its on-demand service, including the latest Oscar winners and nominees - Slumdog Millionaire, Doubt, The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder. If you'd rather provide your own entertainment, wi-fi is available on nearly half the airline's fleet (you can check on which flights are enabled when you book online). Virgin America plans to have wi-fi on all flights between Washington and L.A. by April and on fleet-wide service by summer...
...sports bar, but Rudd seems to know what he's after. "If we went to ESPN Zone - that's not our kind of guy," he says. "We want someone nerdy. Bookish. Probably wears Chuck Taylors.

In fact, about half its roughly 50-member crew is military.) "The Chinese, like...
...However, Jim Kliesch, senior engineer with the Union of Concerned Scientists, argues that the industry can meet California standards with relatively modest improvements to the traditional internal combustion engines, especially if the automobile fleet continues to absorb more hybrid and electric vehicles. Bob Kruse, executive director of GM's Chevrolet Volt, said this week that the Volt hasn't gotten an EPA rating yet. But under current test procedures it could get a rating of better than 100 miles per gallon because it uses electricity rather than gasoline to propel the vehicle. The gasoline only would be used to power...
