...That can be chalked up to a recent ad campaign to familiarize consumers with the parent company's name and values, says Robert Fronk, a Harris senior vice president who oversaw the survey. Another newcomer: Goldman Sachs, which made the list for the first time, at No. 56, four spots from the bottom. "Here's a company that members of the public would never interact with suddenly on the list," says Fronk. Credit a slew of bad press about Goldman having its hand in everything from AIG's bailout to the flailing financial state of Greece. (See how Americans...
...deadlocked situation," says Sompop Manarungsan, another Chulalongkorn economist. Plenty of Thais are fed up with both political factions and just want a government that isn't constantly stuck in crisis mode. Abhisit has offered dialogue with the red shirts' leaders, but no amount of talking over the past four years has resulted in any political conciliation.

Despite such efforts to increase awareness, salt consumption in the U.S. has jumped 50% over the past four decades. One reason: salt often lurks where you don't expect it. A dollop of cottage cheese, for instance, can pack twice as much of the mineral as a palmful of salted peanuts. Plus, as much as 75% of Americans' sodium intake comes from processed foods like canned soup and baking mixes--which means you could easily blow past your daily allotment without ever picking up the saltshaker...
