CIA HEAD AND MASSIVE LAW BREAKER MICHAEL HAYDEN is still wearing his
general's uniform at the allegedly civilian agency, reports Al Kamen of
the Washington Post. Maybe we could work out a compromise: he gets to
keep his uniform so he'll still feel brave, but gets rid of all those
silly ribbons. Did you ever wonder why military men need so much visual
psychological reinforcement as opposed to their civilian peers?

BUSH CBC, CANADA - Standardizing the language used by Inuit around the
circumpolar world would help to preserve it, the former president of
Canada's national Inuit organization says. Speaking to delegates
attending the Inuit Circumpolar Conference in Barrow, Alaska, on
Tuesday, Jose Kusugak made a passionate plea for a standard language and
writing system in the Arctic. . . Kusugak, who led the Inuit Tapiriit
Kanatami, said Inuit speak one language from Alaska to Greenland, with
many of the same sounds in the different dialects. Yet people tend to
fight over words that may differ, depending on the region, he said. "I'm
suggesting to come up with a dialect that works between us and try and
get it taught in all the different countries, " said Kusugak. "Not to
replace your dialect, but so we can go further with our education and so
on."

VICTOR D'ANGELO, WORLD FITNESS - People who live in areas where there
is a lacking of grocery stores and plentiful fast food restaurants are
more prone to die prematurely, get diabetes, cancer, or heart disease.
This is most prevalent in Chicago areas on the West and South sides as
they are also far more prone to suffer from hypertension.
A researcher by the name of Mari Gallagher measured the distance to the
nearest grocery store and fast-food restaurant for every city block and
made a "food balance" for each Chicago community. Gallagher found that
the more out of balance the community is, the higher the prevalence of
chronic health issues and diet-related deaths.

BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL - Newspapers contain the news that a report by
consumer advice group Which? has concluded that some "healthy" breakfast
cereals contain more fat per bowl than two fried eggs or a bacon
sandwich. Other cereals considered to be lighter options by shoppers
contain as much sugar or salt as a chocolate bar or packet of crisps.
The survey of 275 breakfast cereals found that more than three-quarters
had high levels of sugar, a fifth had high levels of salt, while seven
per cent were high in saturated fat. . . Almost nine out of ten cereals
marketed for children were high in sugar, 13 per cent were high in salt
and 10 per cent were high in saturated fat. Although fat was less of a
problem, levels were high in cereals containing nuts.
