Tuesday's story ideas

Grade school consultants. Yes, as obsessive parents go to great lengths to get their little darlings in just the right elementary school, they're actually hiring people to help them do it.


Firewood & room heater sales. It's December and heating oil prices are scary. Are people going back to heating their homes with fireplaces? Are they buying those small room heaters for their bedrooms so they don't have to heat the entire house at night?


In light of the thirteen year old who took her own life after getting a nasty message about her MySpace page, is it time parents took more control over what their kids are posting on the net?


Techno-shopping. A few hundred malls around the country offer a service that lets you type what you want on your cell phone, then get a text message telling you what store carries it.


Honey for children's coughs. New study shows taking a teaspoon of honey is more effective than over the counter remedies.


The movie "Golden Compass" opens this week.... keep an eye out in your market for protests
