American Airlines Announces New Fee
Checking a First Bag on Your Flight Will Cost You
Of all the fee increases that airlines have imposed during the past couple months — like United's fee increase to change your ticket, most domestic airlines charging extra to check a second bag, US Airways requiring extra payment if you want an aisle or window seat, and all of the smaller details that can add up — this most recent announcement gets me more red in the face than the others. For someone who usually keeps her cool, that's saying a lot! To find out the details on the travel news that has me all fired up just read more
On May 5 most domestic airlines instituted their new fee policies for checking a second bag, and American Airlines announced another new policy just yesterday. If you plan on packing more than a carry-on and are flying AA, plan on paying $15 for your first checked bag as of June 15. It will also raise fees for services like reservation help and bags. The only exemptions to the first-bag fee will be those passengers belonging to elite levels of its frequent flyer program, full-fare tickets purchasers, and overseas travelers. As with most airline fee hikes, others will likely follow the example of AA and United has already indicated they're considering making this move. What's next? Charging for using the in-flight bathroom?

Ray Allen's 3-pointer with 46 seconds remaining electrified the crowd and the Celtics overcame blowing a 22-point third-quarter lead in a 117-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday afternoon at TD Garden. Allen finished with a team-high 33 points, offsetting 42 points from LeBron James as the Celtics snapped a three-game home court losing streak. James helped the Celtics by missing all nine 3-point attempts on the day, including a pull-up trey with 3.2 seconds that would have given Cleveland the lead. James also missed eight of 22 free throw attempts. The Easter Sunday game featured five technical fouls, including the third-quarter ejection of Cleveland coach Mike Brown.

Instead of being rewarded for keeping his big boy pants dry, he found himself slapped with a $2,500 fine for public urination.

These SHG women selflessly handle used plastic sheets turning them into a boon on the short run.
Pink, blue and white in colour, plastic bags are the symbols of 'use and throw' culture that has become the scourge of our modern day life.
As you enter the office of Karaikudi-based Meenakshi self-help group (SHG) a nauseating smell emanates. A group of seven masked and uniformed women, unmindful of the bad odour and filth around, meticulously clean the covers and put them to dry.
The SHG members go around Sankarapuram to collect plastic waste for Rs.5 a kilo. They also collect it from nearby panchayat unions, hostels, shops and households. Everyday, each member collects 10 to 15 kilos of plastic waste. Panchayats and other unions yield 500 to 600 kilos of plastic waste.
They break and tear plastic waste and dry them before feeding it into the plastic crushing machine. They crush the plastic and fill them up in gunny bags weighing 10 kg, 15 kg and 50 kg. The SHG sells crushed plastic for Rs.30 per kg. People from various parts of the districts purchase crushed plastic waste for laying roads and other purposes.
"Everyday, we need to churn around 100 kg of waste plastic to be able to earn daily wages of Rs.100," says Shanthi, secretary of Sankarapuram Panchayat Level Federation.
"Our aim is not only to earn money but also to create plastic-free environment at Sankarapuram," says S. Selvi. They work between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all days. "In fact, the Sivagangai District Collector paid a surprise visit to our unit on Christmas when we were engrossed in our work," she says. He appreciated their work."
After seeing the women toil under hazardous conditions, the Collector ordered a monthly health check up camp for them at the Government Hospital free of cost.
When Tamil Nadu Mahalir Thittam informed the SHG women about the project of cashing in on plastic waste, as many as 45 women opted to undergo training in Madurai, Dindigul and Ramanathapuram. Of the 45, only nine women belonging to various SHGs volunteered to venture into the project. Mahalir Thittam also plans to establish water facilities and a working shed for the benefit of women in the plastic waste unit,
"Basically, we all have a heart to help the needy," says T. Kalaiselvi and adds "we have been helping women to get their old age and widow pensions."
"One small plastic bag can spoil one foot of land. We use them for minimum time but it takes a gargantuan 1000 years to rot to nothing," she says "And the loss is irreparable."
"And when we learnt about this opportunity that would not only help us to earn but also to protect the environment and make our panchayat clean and tidy and free from the dangerous garbage, we naturally took it up." she says.
With this successful venture, the women now plan to take it to the next level of preparing plastic moulds. With the crushed plastic waste, they plan to make moulds that are used in chairs, tables, plastic pots and pipes and in the process widen their business prospects.
The women also create awareness about the ill effects of plastic use and its impact on the earth. They speak about global warming and degradation to school students hoping that they would influence their parents and adults at home. They also organise anti-plastic skits and programme to deter throwing of plastic waste which can deteriorate the environment.
What will happen to their business if there are no plastic bags?
"We will try to explore other avenues," says Shanthi.

Gary Waddock admitted Oxford United had been hit by a double blow after it emerged Ryan Clarke and Andy Whing require operations which are expected to rule the pair out of pre-season.
Clarke, United's player of the season, will go under the knife to cure a long-term bone issue in one of his feet, and the goalkeeper could also miss the first month of the new campaign.
Whing is due to have surgery this week on a hip injury, which is believed to be linked to the groin problems which saw him miss four months of this season.
Waddock, United's head coach, knows the senior players will be missed, but hopes taking action now would reap benefits in the long term.
He said: "They are big blows. Both of them are very influential within the group on and off the pitch.
Andy Whing is due to undergo surgery on his hip injury
"But they have to have these operations and we have to deal with it as best we can. If you are going to be out, this is the best time to have it done.
"In terms of timescale you can't put a finger on it, but when they get back they will have to have a pre-season, which is hard on their own.
"The most important thing now is to get them right."
Clarke tweeted: "Devastated the foot needs an op, but quick recovery again and will be back even stronger and better again, no problem."
The lay-off opens the door for Max Crocombe, who has not played for the first-team since keeping clean sheets in the final three games of the 2012-13 season.
Waddock was clear Crocombe deserves a chance to stake his claim and has plenty of faith in the 20-year-old Kiwi.
He said: "Young Max is a talented keeper and it's an opportunity for him. I have been very impressed with him since I've been here."
There was no news yesterday on the outcomes of James Constable and Tom Newey's contract offers.
Waddock had hoped for answers by the end of last week, but said the time for a decision was "fast approaching".
OXFORD United have announced five pre-season fixtures, including a home friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Sky Bet League One champions will visit the Kassam Stadium on July 29.

Big Screen Classics: THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
Presented by Coolidge Corner Theatre at Coolidge Corner Theatre
April 8, 2013
The Night of the Hunter, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed, is truly a stand-alone masterwork.
A southern gothic with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a traveling preacher named Harry Powell (he of the tattooed knuckles), whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow, played by Shelley Winters, are uncovered by her terrified young children. Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humor, this ethereal, expressionistic American classic (also featuring the contributions of actress Lillian Gish and writer James Agee) is cinema's most eccentric rendering of the battle between good and evil.
290 Harvard St
Brookline, MA 02446
