...WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization that went online in 2006. Since then, it has irritated governments and companies around the world by posting information on its website; a 2008 U.S. Army report warned that it could pose a threat to national security. WikiLeaks has no official headquarters and has had its information posted on a Swedish server that practices so-called bulletproof hosting to protect its sources. It generates the bulk of its $600,000 annual budget from contributions by individuals, human-rights groups, assorted other nongovernmental watchdogs and press organizations...
...This jaw dropper may not rank up there with TIME's famous "Is God Dead?" cover in 1966, but from a restaurant owner's point of view, it's close. Nation's Restaurant News recently ran a special report on "feeding the needs of a new America," in which the long-running trade publication pronounces the average diner a piece of history, vanished to the same eternal twilight as the powdered wig, the liberal consensus and mounted cavalry. (See pictures of what the world eats...
...special report contains a somewhat sinister revelation as well. "The divide between haves and have-nots is growing," Nation's Restaurant News comments, stating the obvious. Francese didn't really have an answer for how this plays out in the kitchen, or at least not one he was willing to share. (He hems and haws about more customer questionnaires being needed.)

The owner of a Boston gastropub takes note of its guests' "increasingly open desire for more stimulation...

You don't need a trade publication's special report to see it. As gastropubs multiply in big cities, Burger King is boasting of ripping off the Sausage McMuffin at the same time it is trying to cope with a franchisee mutiny over the burden of selling $1 double cheeseburgers. It's truly a battle royale out there. (See "Rachael...
Researchers say they've found a way to keep more newborns alive in the poorest corners of eastern India: Get their mothers talking. A report published in The Lancet medical journal last month suggests that gathering women together for monthly chats on sound pregnancy practices and reproductive health may drastically cut neonatal mortality rates in rural communities. "Too many people in the health community think that health is about delivering little magic bullets to passive poor people," says Anthony Costello of University College London's Institute of Child Health, which spearheaded the project. "What that doesn...
