Thursday's story ideas

People who get too little sleep have a tendency to be obese.

Gambling industry finally takes a hit from the economy, as revenues are down. What are casinos doing to lure people back?

Check with retailers to see if those tax rebate checks are finding their way into the economy. Is the "economic stimulus" plan working?

The Catholic Church is turning to the digital age to attract young people, as the Pope will begin sending daily text messages soon.

Websites to save money on groceries. There are tons of Internet sites with coupons, so show your viewers where to find the best ones.

Do-it-yourself genetic testing. Online kits are out there, but how accurate and safe are they?

How's the kid's birthday party business? Are parents still throwing lavish affairs, or have cut backs trickled down to the little darlings. Check with people that rent those inflatable things, party stores, etc. Then show how to throw a fun party on the cheap.

Laptop prices are going up, since the prices of cobalt and nickel, two elements used in making batteries, are going up.
