...flyers as they rebook, one by one by one. And isn't that fun? United's answer is a customer-advocate center that automatically rebooks passengers as soon as a flight is canceled. The company has also been employing portable service counters that it rushes around terminals, like forest rangers responding to hot spots. Now, if they can only eliminate that nasty rush to get on the plane...
...Colin Farrell? the 24-year-old Dubliner has acted in four movies in two years. He has worked with Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker. He has been directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever) twice. And he's currently filming with Steven Spielberg alongside some guy called Tom Cruise. Last year his turn as Roland Bozz, the lead in Schumacher's low-budget Vietnam flick Tigerland, had American journalists branding him the One to Watch, the Next Big Thing.

First up were three first-graders. Unfortunately, their favorite game is Pokemon, and there won't be an Advance version until sometime next year. Duh. I did, however, manage to tempt them with Activision's Pinobee, in which kids play a flight-challenged bumblebee that frolics through a pretty forest collecting flowers, meeting fairies and dodging funny-looking bad guys.

On Chorus and the Ring, he sings, "It's the poison that in measures brings illuminating vision/It's the knowing with a wink...
SCORCHED EARTH He made himself an easy target for environmentalists by going soft on CO2 and arsenic, but President Bush has become a savvier woodsman. Last week the President faked left and installed Clinton-era regulations preventing road building and logging on about 60 million acres of national forest. The catch: he will give local authorities the power to bend these rules on a case-by-case basis, effectively negating the rules before putting them in place. Most of the land in question is in the West, including Alaska's Tongass, which has the most pending permits for logging...
