The firm released a list last week of the top 40 "weird, wild and wonderful" rewards. If you want a leather vest signed by George Clooney, you'll need to rack up 177,000 miles with Air Canada. American Airlines passengers can trade in 14,700 points for a beer-tasting tour in Brussels. And with 21,000 points on Lufthansa, passengers can get a "sockscription" of three pairs of socks delivered immediately, followed by identical deliveries four and eight months later.

Titanic exhibit in D.C. focuses on human toll The one fact that the National Geographic Museum's new exhibition on the Titanic saga doesn't let visitors forget is its human toll: 1,496 victims and 712 survivors. This is the dominant theme of "Titanic: 100 Year Obsession," which runs through July 8 at the museum in Washington, D.C. The most effective interactive elements are reserved for the story of the ship's discovery in 1985. Info at tinyurl.com/c4bgda

The Federal Aviation Administration doesn't have a rule on where diaper changing should occur, only when (when the seat belt sign is off). If an airline has no regulation (check websites), it is up to the parent.
