McDonalds under fire in China
EXCERPT:
An online survey in China showed Thursday that three out of four people would no longer buy a McDonald's product as it reportedly contains two chemical additives that, if taken in excess, may cause nausea and vomiting.
The survey, run by a leading Chinese portal website www.sina.com.cn, showed at 2 p.m. Thursday that 75.4 percent of 30,151 respondents "would definitely not" buy McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, while only 7.1 percent said the revelation would not stop them from buying the deep fried chicken pieces.
What do McDonalds chicken mcnuggets and silly puddy have in common
EXCERPT:
The common ingredient between McNuggets and Silly Putty: Dimethylpolysiloxane
CNN investigated the ingredients of McDonald's chicken McNuggets and discovered Dimethylpolysiloxane, an "anti-foaming agent" used as a matter of safety to keep the oil from foaming. The chemical is a form of silicone also used in cosmetics and Silly Putty. CNN's review of animal studies by The World Health Organization found no adverse health effects associated with dimethylpolysiloxane.
The discovery of this common ingredient is actually the lesser of two PR problems McDonald's will have as a result of the CNN investigation. It seems that McNuggets delivered at U.S. fast food shops contain more calories and fat than McNuggets sold in the U.K.
From CNN:
American McNuggets (190 calories, 12 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat for 4 pieces) contain the chemical preservative tBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleum-based product. They also contain dimethylpolysiloxane, “an anti-foaming agent” also used in Silly Putty.
By contrast, British McNuggets (170 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat for 4 pieces) lists neither chemical among its ingredients.
McDonald’s says the differences are based on the local tastes: In the United States, McNuggets are coated and then cooked, in the United Kingdom, they are cooked and then coated. As a result, the British McNuggets absorb less oil and have less fat.

What’s Up with Free Trade in Colombia?
On radio interviews I am frequently asked about the “free trade agreement” the Bush administration is trying to hammer out with Colombia and about John McCain’s recent trip to Colombia. Here’s my answer in a nutshell:
Nine countries in Latin America have recently voted in presidents who are saying “no” to staying the course with international policies that allow foreign corporations to exploit human and/or natural resources. These democratically elected presidents have gone on the record of not seeking US aid but instead asking for reversals in policies, including “free trade agreements,” that have been very destructive to their economies — and resulted in a huge influx of immigrants to the US.
Colombia is a major exception. Washington’s push for a new trade agreement with Colombia is an attempt to bolster the Uribe administration — a president who is held in very low esteem throughout most of Latin America and is seen (along with Mexico’s Calderón) as one of the last of the old “Washington puppets.”
Uribe infuriated many Latin Americans when he illegally sent troops into Ecuador to assassinate FARC representatives who reportedly were there to try to negotiate hostage exchanges and a peace deal. I was traveling in Central America at the time and heard first-had the anger directed at the Colombian president for the way he ignored Ecuador’s sovereign rights and escalated hostilities.
This “free trade agreement” is Washington’s desperate attempt to shore up one of its few remaining Latin puppets and at the same time tilt the playing field even further in favor of the big corporations.
What you can do: Speak out against “free trade agreements” that are written to help multinational corporations exploit other countries. Email your representatives and the corporations whose goods and services you buy. Tell them you know that what is best for the US are strong Latin American economies where local resources are channeled to the poor through health, education and other social services.

Gross Up for top executives
EXCERPT:
Why gross up?
Back in the 1980s Congress imposed an excise tax on "golden parachutes," the lucrative severance benefits that were given to top executives if the company was taken over by another firm. The goal was to prevent "greedy" executives from reaping huge windfalls upon a change in control of a business. (To learn more about CEO compensation, see Putting Management Under The Microscope, Evaluating A Company's Management and Lifting The Lid On CEO Compensation.)
However, the plan put forth by Congress didn't work as planned.
Gross up clause wikipedia
A gross up clause is a provision in a contract which provides that all payments must be made in the full amount, free of any deductions or withholdings, and without exercising any right of set-off. The provision will usually indicate that if there is a mandatory withholding or deduction by operation of law (usually with respect to tax), then the paying party shall "gross up" the payment so that the receiving party receives the same net amount.
[edit] Sample clause
"All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in cleared funds, without any deduction or set-off and free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees and withholdings of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority save as required by law. If a Party to this Agreement is compelled to make any such deduction, it will pay to the receiving Party such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by the receiving Party of the full amount which that party would have received but for the deduction."

Coca Cola Scandal
EXCERPT:
At KillerCoke's Website You'll find a raft of information on Coke and its bottlers' operations in Colombia. There is extensive documentation of rampant violence committed against Coke's unionized workforce by paramilitary forces, and powerful claims of the company's complicity in the violence.
An April 2004 report from a fact-finding delegation headed by New York City Council Member Hiram Monserrate contends:
“To date, there have been a total of 179 major human rights violations of Coca-Cola's workers, including nine murders. Family members of union activists have been abducted and tortured. Union members have been fired for attending union meetings. The company has pressured workers to resign their union membership and contractual rights, and fired workers who refused to do so.”
“Most troubling to the delegation were the persistent allegations that paramilitary violence against workers was done with the knowledge of and likely under the direction of company managers. The physical access that paramilitaries have had to Coca-Cola bottling plants is impossible without company knowledge and/or tacit approval. Shockingly, company officials admitted to the delegation that they had never investigated the ties between plant managers and paramilitaries. The company's inaction and its ongoing refusal to take any responsibility for the human rights crisis faced by its workforce in Colombia demonstrates — at best — disregard for the lives of its workers.”

Venezuelan authorities turned out to be edgier. They ordered an immediate halt to production pending an investigation into "ingredients that could be harmful for the individual". Calls to the health ministry seeking elaboration were not returned.

The manufacturer was Monsanto, a company who seems always to have managed to influence FDA in pushing through profitable products which in MANY CASES are deleterious to human health and/or potentially ruinous in terms of agriculture, etc.
Criminality on a scale that is practically unfathomable, has caused aspartame / nutrasweet to be legitimized for sale around the world .. god only knows why no one anywhere else in the world has the guts to stand up to "Coca Cola diplomacy"

This week’s lawsuit follows an earlier warning by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about its marketing of Diet Coke Plus, said Reuters. Late last month, Reuters reported that Coca-Cola made claims that Diet Coke Plus includes vitamins and minerals. Those claims violate U.S. policy against marketing soda and other snack foods as more nutritious, or “fortified.”

However, al Qaeda financial records found in deserted Afghan hideouts and seized from Muslim charities in the United States suggest otherwise. These records reveal that the Saudi royal family was the source of millions of dollars which made its way not only into the hands of Osama bin Laden as he prepared to wage his extremist Islamic Jihad against America, but was used to finance the activities of Yassar Arafat’s personal Palestinian terrorist group from which the homicide bombers arose, the Palestinian Liberation Front, the Hamas and the Hezbollah. The Saudi royal family even provides “pensions” for the families of homicide bombers who are viewed as martyrs.

Hollister, CA wikipedia
History
The Mutsun Ohlone Indians were the first known inhabitants of the Hollister region.
The town, then located in Monterey County, was founded November 19, 1868 originally as the San Justo Homestead Association, established by William Welles Hollister (1818–1886), a group that originally intended to name it San Justo. An association member, Napa vintner Henry Hagen, objected. Hagen argued that place names in California were dominated by Spanish saint names, and suggested that the state should have a town named after someone less holy. The City was incorporated on August 29, 1872. The western portion of San Benito County, including Hollister, was separated from Monterey County in 1874. The county was expanded eastward in 1887 to include portions taken from Merced and Fresno Counties!

'Wild Ones' - Marlon Brando
EXCERPT:
Because of the controversial nature of the film, public screenings were banned in England by the British Board of Film Censors for fourteen years (until 1968) after its release. Even in America, it was feared that the shocking, 'Communist' movie glamorized a anti-social subculture in revolt, would set a bad example, and cause impressionable viewers to copy-cat its plot and incite deliquency and riots. In fact, it took many years for pacifist motorcyclists to overcome stereotypes and fabrications promoted by the film.
James Dean's disaffected, frustrated youth Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Elvis Presley's anti-hero character in Jailhouse Rock (1957), and even the significant counter-cultural Easy Rider (1969) - plus a spate of exploitation biker films (i.e., Roger Corman's trashy B-film classic The Wild Angels (1966) - owe their existence to this original, cult classic film. Although Marlon Brando portrays a stunning, brooding, nomadic character in one of his central and early roles (his fifth screen role), the film lacked Academy Award nominations.

A note for visitors to bikewriter.com: These interviews were conducted in late 1998. All participants were eyewitnesses to the events which came to be known as the Hollister 'motorcycle riot'. Excerpts of these interviews were published in Classic Bike, but the full transcripts are presented here, in order to fully document this important event in motorcycling history.
Summary/Lead:
On July 4 1947, 4,000 'straight-pipers' rode into Hollister. Their plan was to spend the long weekend partying and watching the races, but the partying got a little out of control. Even the local police admitted that the bikers "did more harm to themselves than they did to the town" but the press blew the story out of proportion. When the events were dramatized by Hollywood in 'The Wild One', America's image of motorcycling changed forever. Now you can read what really happened, in the words of people who were really there.
Introduction
At the end of World War II, the central California town of Hollister had a population of about 4,500. The gently rolling farmland surrounding the community was well-suited to motorcycle riding; there were facilities for scrambles, hillclimbs, and dirt-track racing at Bolado Park (about 10 miles away) and at Memorial Park, on the outskirts of town.
Through the 1930's, Hollister had been the site of popular races sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association, and promoted by the Salinas Scramblers (correction - Salinas Ramblers). Spectators rode in on A.M.A.-organized 'Gypsy Tours', and as attendances grew, the Memorial Day races became as important to Hollister as the livestock fair or the rodeo.
Racing was postponed after America's belated entrance into the war. When it was organized again for 1947, local merchants welcomed a major source of revenue back to the Hollister economy.
When peace broke out, many American servicemen were demobilized in California, and settled there. As soldiers, they had earned regular pay, but found little to spend it on. In sunny California, with extra money on hand, they did the same thing any Classic Bike reader would do. Then, when they were spent, they bought motorcycles with the dough left over.
The bikers used to head up to Bass Lake from Hollister and stop over and visit Los Banos, CA....... (Back in the day one of my closest friend's family had a cabin (second home) on the lake and we'd visit sometimes..... It is beautiful.)

History
The Mutsun Ohlone Indians were the first known inhabitants of the Hollister region.
The town, then located in Monterey County, was founded November 19, 1868 originally as the San Justo Homestead Association, established by William Welles Hollister (1818–1886), a group that originally intended to name it San Justo. An association member, Napa vintner Henry Hagen, objected. Hagen argued that place names in California were dominated by Spanish saint names, and suggested that the state should have a town named after someone less holy. The City was incorporated on August 29, 1872. The western portion of San Benito County, including Hollister, was separated from Monterey County in 1874. The county was expanded eastward in 1887 to include portions taken from Merced and Fresno Counties!

'Wild Ones' - Marlon Brando
EXCERPT:
Because of the controversial nature of the film, public screenings were banned in England by the British Board of Film Censors for fourteen years (until 1968) after its release. Even in America, it was feared that the shocking, 'Communist' movie glamorized a anti-social subculture in revolt, would set a bad example, and cause impressionable viewers to copy-cat its plot and incite deliquency and riots. In fact, it took many years for pacifist motorcyclists to overcome stereotypes and fabrications promoted by the film.
James Dean's disaffected, frustrated youth Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Elvis Presley's anti-hero character in Jailhouse Rock (1957), and even the significant counter-cultural Easy Rider (1969) - plus a spate of exploitation biker films (i.e., Roger Corman's trashy B-film classic The Wild Angels (1966) - owe their existence to this original, cult classic film. Although Marlon Brando portrays a stunning, brooding, nomadic character in one of his central and early roles (his fifth screen role), the film lacked Academy Award nominations.
