12/30   http://www.sjmercury.com/premium/svlife/docs/016199.htm : credit card
        surcharges are against the law as stated on the motd a few days ago.
        In California, anyway.
                \- if a merchant offers a "cash discount" or has a credit card
                minimum parchase, you can in theory call VISA and report them.
                again, in theory, VISA is supposed to threaten the vendor
                with revokation if they get enough complaints. i assume MC is
                the same way. there is an interesting case on this. VISA v.
                NABANCO. I dont have the cite handy. --psb

        \_ Why not raise tuition? At private universities, students generate
           revenue. Students should not be seen as an expense. UC has
           been a tremendous bargain for most of its existence. It's time

Sharks Get First Win in Western Finals Evgeni Nabokov finally got a victory over his former backup. He also got the San Jose Sharks back in the Western Conference finals. Arnold Schwarzenegger released a $103 billion plan for restoring California's financial health Thursday that calls for cutting spending in all departments and services but backs away from some of the most painful reductions he proposed in January. Rumsfeld: No cover-up of abuses Hoping to contain a spreading scandal, Defense Secretary Donald H Rumsfeld went to the Abu Ghraib prison camp and insisted the Pentagon did not try to cover up abuses there. Canada's team Sharks face a frenzy in Calgary Oh sure, we like our Sharks. A lot of people are very passionate about the San Jose team. On game day, there are thousands of team jerseys worn in town. A few people even have Sharks flags attached to their car. Brotherly bond SJSU'S FRANDSEN INSPIRED BY CANCER-STRICKEN SIBLING Senior third baseman Kevin Frandsen, told by several colleges that he wasn't good enough to merit a scholarship, is one hit from breaking San Jose State's career record. But the true marvel is that his brother DJ is alive to see it. Opening this weekend "Troy" abounds with buff bodies, epic battle scenes and Greek history lessons, "Breakin' All the Rules" is "Pillow Talk" for the hip-hop generation, "Twilight Samurai" creeps into your affections with admirable stealth, and "James' Journey to Jerusalem" is a wise, clever Israeli film. Google to place ads with images In a key departure from its text-only advertising strategy, search engine leader Google said Wednesday that will it begin to accept the banner-like image ads that are common on other parts of the Internet.
