...addition to the giveaways, the company is employing another aggressive plan to expand its brand in tough times. Denny's is embracing its history as an after-party haven for young, hungry drunks (and, the company is quick to point out, sober people too). For years, countless 20-somethings across the country, after a night of carousing, have suddenly craved a Grand Slam - pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, the works - to soak up the alcoholic suds in their stomachs. It's 3 a.m., the bars are closed ... let's go to Denny's. (Not that I, for one, know...
...journey started out well enough. We left the Restrepo firebase the usual way: a series of sprints down an exposed trail interspersed with a quick breather behind a hesco barrier - something like a six-cubic foot sandbag - put up for that purpose. Then we hit a creek, and followed it down about 500 meters through holly, oak and cedar forest.

Walls and streetlights in the town's main drag, Nelson Mandela Drive, are plastered with posters offering "Safe Abortion, Same Day," "Quick and Safe Abortion, 3 Hours," even a free lottery ticket with every "100% guarantee, 2-hour" procedure. Nobu Sipoka, director of the Mthatha Child Abuse Resource Center, says there is no precise data on the incidence of child rape, but says she founded the center because anecdotal evidence from doctors...
...Rome, including Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, who said the Colombian Cardinal should have known about Bishop Williamson's troubling views on the Holocaust. Levada does not take sides in the dispute but concedes that the Vatican was "a human structure, with its limitations and possibilities for improvement." Levada is quick to add that his own congregation, which was run for 24 years by the future Pope, was functioning like clockwork when he took over...
