...question is whether it's better to pass on that cost via a baggage surcharge, rather than a ticket price hike. In terms of consumer psychology, the bag option may indeed be the lesser evil. On ticket-buying websites, extra fees are often not quoted in the initial price displayed to customers - only later, as they're completing their purchase. Given the advantage airlines gain by scoring better in online searches, "a price increase is a far riskier decision than going with this type of fee," says Larry Compeau, a marketing professor at Clarkson University. As Seaney puts it: "Airlines...
...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.

It is the latter that makes him scared to go out at night. "Berlusconi had to do something. His credibility is riding on it," the Neapolitan native said. "The streets need to be cleaned up." He was referring not to the trash, but to immigrants...
Propaganda will not change the deteriorating conditions in the delta. "There is an increase of people in the camps," writes an aid worker via satellite phone from the refugee-choked town of Laputta. "Heavy rain has caused flooding and worsened conditions and sanitation." There have been some cases of cholera, although so far the rate is "no greater than the background rate that we would be seeing in Myanmar during this season," a World Health Organization representative said today. Nearly 78,000 people are dead and 56,000 are missing, announced state television, almost doubling the previous count...
