...lamps (CFLs), which last 10 times as longer as their incandescent counterparts while consuming less than one-third the electricity. The European Union began phasing out incandescents on Sept. 1, banning stores from buying new stock. At up to $10 each, CFLs are more expensive, but experts say they pay for themselves in energy savings within just a few months. The E.U. is even touting the switch as an economic stimulus; experts estimate that the swap to CFLs will save customers €5 billion annually...

Another 115 schools had endowments averaging $100,000-$500,000 per student, and the 2,000+ remaining schools had smaller endowments or none at all. Faculty pay varied widely as well. After adjusting for inflation, full-time faculty at two-year public schools saw no increase in salary between 1991-92 and 2007-08. At private, four-year schools, by contrast, faculty pay rose...
...doctors' reimbursement issue from the broader health-care effort is removing a major expense, and headache, from an already very complicated process. But opponents of the fix aren't entirely consistent in their demand for fiscal discipline.
