Apple doesn’t play by the same rules as most companies. That’s a good thing — usually.

Tiger Woods has not been seen in a TV ad since Nov. 29, according to Bloomberg. The not-surprising news indicates that Woods' deals with endorsers are in a state of disarray, with advertisers unable to capitalize on them. And it's a strong indicator that Woods will have extreme difficulty replacing them as clients.

An increasing number of businesses, from hotels to cell phone providers, are advertising bargain prices and then tacking on hidden fees and charges to boost the final cost. Here’s how you can fight back.

Twenty juvenile whooping cranes reached Carroll County, Tennessee on December 5, 2009, on their ultralight-guided migration from Necedah National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in central Wisconsin to Chassahowitzka and St. Marks National Wildlife Refuges along Florida's Gulf Coast. To date, weather conditions have kept the migration from moving to the next stop in Hardin County.
 
These majestic birds, the tallest in North America, left Necedah refuge on October 23, following Operation Migration’s four ultralight aircraft.  Tennessee is one of the seven states the ultralight-guided migration will fly over before reaching Florida.
 
The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP), an international coalition of public and private groups conducting this project, is now in its ninth year, in an effort to reintroduce this endangered species in eastern North America.
 
“Two of our refuges in the Southeast, St. Marks and Chassahowitzka serve as a crucial base of winter operations for these great birds,” said Cindy Dohner, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Southeast Regional Director. “I hope all Americans and all those interested in saving species for future generation can appreciate the monumental task this truly is.”
 
There are now 77 migratory whooping cranes in the wild in eastern North America -- including the first whooping crane chick to hatch in the wild in Wisconsin in more than a century.

 
Each fall, pilots from Operation Migration (OM), a WCEP founding partner, leads a new generation of whooping cranes behind their ultralight aircraft to wintering grounds in Florida. Unaided, the cranes will make the return migration to the Upper Midwest in the spring.
  
"This is our ninth season leading a generation of endangered whooping cranes south to teach them a migration route, and it is proving to be as challenging as each one before," said Operation Migration CEO Joe Duff. "While we only need about 23 to 25 days of flying weather in total to complete the journey, each succeeding year it has taken longer to get those flyable days.  Although off to a slow start this year, we're still hopeful of shaving some days off 2008's eighty-eight day migration timeline."
 
The ultra-led flock from Necedah NWR passed through Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, and passes through Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia to reach the final destinations in Florida. Because the ability to fly with the birds is entirely weather dependent, the duration of the migration is unknown. To help speed the migration and improve safety for the birds and the pilots, a new route was developed last year that takes the team around the Appalachian Mountains rather than over them.
 
In addition to the 20 ultralight-led birds, biologists from the International Crane Foundation (ICF) and the Service reared nine whooping cranes at Necedah NWR.  The birds were released in the company of older cranes from whom the young birds will learn the migration route.&nbs
