...years. It is a system devised by lawyers, the only ones who benefit from it. Attacking the use of the chemical solutions is just one more excuse to end the death penalty. We need the death penalty to protect our policemen and the most vulnerable in our society. Allan Gillingham, GILBERT, ARIZ...
...Pizza Hut restaurants now number more than 12,000 in 110 countries outside China, says Graham Allan, president of Yum Restaurants International (YRI). Of those stores, 85% are owned and run by franchisees. Operating profit more than doubled, from $186 million in 1998 to $407 million in 2006. International profits drove the stock price up 82% over 10 years. Yum's largest markets overseas include Australia and the U.K. Pizza Hut ranks as the most trusted food-service brand in India, and Russia will soon greet the Colonel through a partnership with top chicken chain Rostik...

So for now, Taco Bell Mexico imports taco shells from the U.S., a fact that might irk consumers in the birthplace of the taco. But Allan stresses that the tactic is a stopgap; importing basic supplies is expensive and time-consuming. "In the long run, it's not sustainable...
...pathologically. They were, the scientists suggested, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder - terminology usually reserved for humans - responding to years of hardship, inflicted by people. Their population and social order had been decimated by poaching, culls and habitat loss, and the elephants, in a sense, were striking back. Neuroscientist Allan N. Schore, one of the paper's authors and a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the UCLA Medical School, demurred at calling such actions "revenge" or evidence of a "grudge" - but says the fact that elephants act out under stress suggests that their psychology...
