...status (which gives them perks like upgrades to first class); passengers traveling on discounted tickets now get only half as many points toward elite status as full-fare travelers. US Airways tried something similar but backed down when its frequent flyers balked. But the airline found another way to milk its best customers. It used to send free luggage tags identifying elite flyers. Now the tags cost $10. --L.McL...

A big part of the problem is that cases of Type 2 diabetes, which used to be called adult-onset diabetes, are exploding among children and young adults.

Proud locals also say tortellini, the small triangle-shaped meat-and-cheese-filled pasta, were invented in Bologna - though Modena also stakes that claim. Situated at the base of the Apennine foothills halfway between Florence...
More from the quirkiness department: Rick Du Puy, described by some as an old-fashioned polymath for his concurrent interests in math, music theory and philosophy, betrayed the extent of his nostalgia for days past by ordering a tall glass of milk. Krish Subrahmanian, the Class of 2003’s first class marshal, also displayed self-assured innocence in his drink selection when he requested a Shirley Temple to the jaw-dropped surprise of the waitress. As she continued down the length of the table, though, she was soon fighting back an onslaught of drink pleas...
