Here are some of the other stories that Yahoo Finance is keeping an eye on today.

Big banks set to pay up
Several big banks - JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Barclays (BCS) and the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), are ready to plead guilty to felony fraud and anti-trust charges but it seems no one is headed to jail.

Frequent flier expansion
Good news for frequent flyers...maybe. A new survey finds airlines worldwide are making a greater percentage of seats available for travelers to buy with frequent flyer miles. Among the U.S. carriers, Southwest (LUV) is number 1...followed by JetBlue (JBLU), Alaska Air (ALK), United (UAL) and American (AAL).

Dish Network to expand into wireless
Dish Network (DISH) is planning a big challenge to communications giants such as Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T).  Yahoo Finance has learned the second-biggest satellite TV provider is planning to offer customers video, data and wireless voice services.

Short attention span
How is your attention span? Do you think it's better than...say...a goldfish? Well, apparently it isn't.  A study done by Microsoft (MSFT) finds because our brains are so overloaded by our tech gadgets, our ability to stay focused is actually less than that of the pet swimming around your aquarium.
