Wednesday's story ideas

Snow removal costs. If you live where it snows, it is costing your municipality a lot more to remove it with diesel prices even higher than regular gas. How are officials dealing with it?

Cutting back on tipping. With people trimming their budget here and there, are waiters and waitresses feeling the pinch?

Weekend piece: Garage sales soar in popularity. Yet another bargain hunting aspect of a tight economy.

Computer energy savings. How much does it use in standby mode, sleep mode, etc. And should you simply unplug the thing at night?

Hearing problems in young people. Blasting tunes with your portable devices is sending kids to hearing specialists. How can you protect yourself while still enjoying music?

Bernanke talks about the economy today.

Heating oil prices have people considering wood burning stoves or heat generating fireplace inserts for next year.

Pomegranate juice is the hot new antioxidant.

Happy end of sweeps. So, is your stack of resume tapes ready to take to the post office tomorrow?
