...forced disclosure could lead more restaurants to change their offerings. A report by New York City health officials noted that since menu-labeling went into effect last summer, some chains have lowered the calorie counts on certain items. For example, in March 2007, a Chicken Club sandwich at Wendy's was listed as being 650 calories. In June 2008, as the New York law kicked in, the item was 540 calories - a 17% drop. (Wendy's used a lower-calorie mayo to reduce the count, but a spokesman insists menu-labeling played no part in the move. Call...
...could count Bullock's above-average pictures on one hand and not use the thumb. Her two early hits, plus A Time to Kill and the sinfully enjoyable Miss Congeniality, would just about exhaust the list. Even adding the very debatable large-ensemble Crash wouldn't give her a high batting average, considering her subpar romantic comedies (Two Weeks Notice), dramas (The Lake House) and female-bonding weepies (Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood). Yet every year or so, Bullock goes back in front of the camera, trying to prove there's a place in movies for a star...

I never would have expected to be singing along with an Avril Lavigne song while bumping down an African highway, but these little things make up a common language that reaches even to the furthest corners of the world...
Lobbying rules like these stifle speech of all faiths. Clergy fear voicing their views on legislation if it means opening their books to investigation. OSE says it looks at only the portion of church finances dedicated to lobbying. But to distinguish that portion is impossible. Do we count the homily, the bulletin, the prayer group? State Representative Chris Caruso, an unsympathetic Catholic, chides the Church to “Give unto Caesar, what is Caesar’s.” But the Church’s everyday finances are none of Caesar’s business...
...create it." And for that, he said, "We must start with practical issues, like getting rid of roadblocks and illegal outposts [inside the Palestinian territories]. You must understand that we used to have 41 roadblocks and now only have 16 roadblocks." But a U.N. agency disputes Lieberman's count, saying there are 69 roadblocks in the West Bank manned by Israeli security services and another 521 unmanned roadblocks restricting Palestinians' travel...
