Monday's story ideas

The Senate blocked a bill this weekend that would have helped low income families pay their utility bills.

We know that more and more students are taking classes over the Internet, but what is it like for teachers who conduct classes without ever meeting their students?

FCC gives go ahead to XM acquisition of Sirius satellite radio. What does this do to service, existing equipment, etc.?

California bans restaurants from preparing food using trans fats. What's coming in your state, if anything?

What's the latest with a la carte cable? Congress has been looking into it, and it would seem to be a clever campaign issue.

Cafeteria trays are disappearing on college campuses for fall, as schools seek to find ways to save energy. They'll save a small fortune not having to wash the things. (Sadly, this puts an end to cafeteria tray snowboarding at many Northern universities.)

A can of cat food now costs more (75 cents to 50 cents) than a can of tuna. Should you just feed Fluffy a can of Bumble Bee? Talk to a vet.
