Just in time for summer vacation, families with small children traveling on United Airlines will no longer be able to board early. Families with children who aren't flying first or business class now have to board with their ticketed boarding groups. The airline adopted the policy last month "to simplify the boarding process and to reduce the overall number of boarding groups," says United spokesman Charles Hobart. Most airlines, including JetBlue Airways, Virgin America and Delta Air Lines, let families with small children board before most coach passengers. "We work to make the travel experience as comfortable and easy as possible for our customers and know that families traveling with small children may have their hands full and need extra time to get settled in on their flights," says JetBlue spokeswoman Allison Steinberg. The move comes as airlines increasingly charge fees for passengers to board early and sit in certain seats. United's decision, says Brad Schaeppi, who flew United from Houston to Minneapolis on Sunday, makes traveling with his 6-month-old son, Asa, more uncomfortable. "With an infant who can be unhappy at any moment, it's nice to be able to go in and sit down and know you are on the plane, and you can manage your infant," he says. US Airways says that in the last year it dropped family preboarding for families with children but still lets them on earlier in the general boarding process. American Airlines has for several years made families without premium status board with most everyone else. Gate agents, however, are on the lookout for families who may need help, says spokesman Tim Smith. "The reality is that many flights and markets - think Orlando or other leisure destinations - can have many, many families on flights," Smith says. Continental Airlines allowed families to preboard, but the old United did not. The carriers merged in 2010 and have been aligning policies since. Hobart says the boarding process has run smoothly despite the change. Andrew Thomas, author of Soft Landing: Airline Industry Strategy, Service and Safety, says airlines have to balance the needs of a small group of travelers with premium customers and those who pay to board first. Edward Gee, a Houston resident, says he's seen early-boarding privileges abused by several adults going on with one child. "It doesn't take any longer to seat a family in the main boarding (time) than it does with a preboard," he says.

How are job prospects? I love a library and doing research!!

...and I have more questions than answers. 1. Who was the guy shown during the end credits? 2. Why wasn't Gwyneth in the movie more? The flick really needed some more women. 3. Was it filmed in 3D or converted after the fact? We saw it in 3D and it didn't particularly strike me as impressive in that way; I actually was more impressed with the 3D conversion of Titanic. I thought it was good movie, a fun popcorn flick, but not the second coming that some people seem to believe.

Anyone else a fan of the new BBC series. If so, SPOILER QUESTION INSIDE

It used to be you'd hear about the occasional child with leukemia and then maybe some 60+ year olds. It was very rare to hear about 20-40 year olds who were suffering from it. So rare that you'd read it in the newspapers. Now I know 17 people (closely) that have been diagnosed at very young ages with cancer, including my own brother. My nextdoor neighbor is a nearly retired hospice nurse and she swears it is from cellphones. Do you sense an uptick in cancer case numbers in the fairly young?

Apparently there is a bill before the New York legislature that would ban anonymous speech online on message boards, blogs, etc. If this bill were to pass, would it mean that Datalounge would go belly-up? Or would we all just have to authenticate?

Will this mean the end of DataLounge?

It says that Hammer Films bought the rights to make a film about it.

Christmas wishes come true, and Harry helps out a friend.

Before you tell me I'm being too mean, remember that they met through their mutual membership in the John Birch Society, okay? Anyway, his name's Greg, and the lump is still there. Regina's dress is a lacy Eighties throwback, but I've got to admit that I kind of like it on her; she looks far better than I've ever seen her. Everyone else just looks sweaty. It must have been hotter than you-know-what.

The first set photos have arrived for Star Trek 2, thanks to MTV. J.J. Abrams is currently filming the sequel, whose plot details are being kept under wraps. The images show Benedict Cumberbatch battling Spock (Zachary Quinto) on what is being called a "Space Barge set." Despite the strength of Spock's Vulcan death grip, Cumberbatch looks to be overpowering him. We don't know much about Cumberbatch's character, but it is clear that they are not getting along. What is odd is that he is wearing a black version of the Star Fleet uniform under his silver overcoat. Could this mean that Cumberbatch's character was one of the good guys before he became a villain?

I have gone out on a couple of dates with a guy. We haven't had sex yet and last night when we left the bar he told me that he has Hep C, which he is not sure how he got--most likely from a homemade tattoo a friend gave him when he was younger. He claims that Hep C is very hard to transmit sexually. I did some research and it says that if you are in a monogamous relationship, you don't even need to use condoms. Is this true? I mean, I will anyway, but is it really hard to transmit Hep C through sex?

Anytime someone is driving a car and makes a sharp turn, the tires squeal, even if they're not going at high speeds. Anytime someone pulls away from the curb quickly, the tires squeal, even if the tires are not spinning in place. Every you're in the Great Outdoors, you'll hear the scream of a Red-tailed Hawk (always the same stock sound effect), even if one is watching a Bald Eagle or some other bird. Sometimes no bird at all is needed. And of course we all know the Wilhelm scream. What other TV conventions can we think of?

The original manuscript of the novel was very explicit about Jack Kerouac's and Neal Cassady's gay experiences, and (in particular) Cassady's prostitution. I hope they keep the gay in the movie version and don't make it too much about Garrett Hedlund's love for Kristen "Sullen" Stewart... bleeeargh.

It's not fleet week again, is it? It's like when the Blue Angels show up in October.
