Going back to school gets more expensive
You’ll spend — or have already spent — an average of $363 per student on back-to-school items this year.
That’s 12 percent more than last year, says an American Express survey of 1,000 consumers nationwide. And 18 percent of those surveyed said they plan to spend $500 or more.

Only sailors at sea had any indication that something ominous swirled offshore, threatening the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts. Their radio calls gave Coast residents about 12 hours to prepare for the hurricane of 1947.
The daylight storm came ashore early Sept. 19, and the 12-hour warning allowed the fishing fleet to seek harbor in Biloxi’s Back Bay.
