Wednesday's story ideas

Government forecasts $4 gasoline this summer. What will this do to the travel industry? And NOW will people cut back on driving?

Egg prices are skyrocketing, and so is everything that takes eggs in a recipe. (Cakes, bread, etc.)

Cavity fighting candy tests prove successful with children. Now you can have your sweet tooth and not have it fall out.

Virtual movie rentals. Now you can download movies directly to your TV. (Apple TV)

One week till the tax deadline. You still have time to put money in an IRA.

Meanwhile, identity thieves will steal your social security number to actually file a tax return and then steal your refund or this summer's rebate check. Talk to an IRS agent.

Federal audit shows government employees often use their company credit cards for personal stuff. You might check the policies of the people at the trough in your market. And you might check the bills as well.

With all these airlines going under, what happens to your frequent flier miles? And should you use the ones you've got for the airlines that are still flying instead of hoarding them?
