How about instead of making portion sizes at fast food and other restaurants smaller, the FDA should start finding ways to make the good and healthy foods cheaper and the fatty and unhealthy foods more expensive. I am sick of going shopping and seeing that a bag of chips or dessert Snack Packs are cheaper than a pound of apples or a loaf of whole-wheat bread.

I wish to comment on Caitlin Scuderi's column, "English as official language doesn't threaten culture, instead unifies U.S." (SN 6/6) I could not disagree more with her assessment of the situation or of her characterization of it as a means of unifying all people.
The city of East Lansing celebrated the United Nations' World Environment Day on Monday by marking the completion of the Combined Sewer Overflow Control Program. The program, which cost about $30 million, will clean water that is collected from storms and sanitary sewage overflow, and place it in the Red Cedar River. Consisting of three phases, the program called for the construction of a 12-foot-wide tunnel running under Grand River and Michigan avenues, the development of a storm drain in the Wilmarth Drainage District and the creation of a 2.6 million gallon holding tank to receive water overflow.

All hype and no horror. During the late show at Lansing's Celebration Cinema, 200 E. Edgewood Blvd., on 6-6-06 — ah, scary — audience members openly laughed at the spooky and serious bits during "The Omen." Hollywood's interest in remakes boggles the mind.
MSU is not required to release the initial police report from the alleged Feb. 23 Hubbard Hall assault to The State News by Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Joyce Draganchuck this afternoon. The State News filed the lawsuit in Oakland County against the university May 19 after MSU refused the newspaper's requests to release the initial police report regarding the alleged Hubbard Hall assault. Herschel Fink, a First Amendment and media lawyer representing The State News in this case, said he filed the lawsuit with the Oakland County Circuit Court "to remove this case from the politics of Ingham County," which was prompted by a letter sent to the university from Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III. Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Denise Langford Morris heard the case May 31, but referred it to Ingham County because "it would be more convenient if it took place where it appears most of the occurrences took place," According to the denial letters from the university, releasing the information would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy, interfere with investigation proceedings and deprive the men arrested of a fair trial. On Feb.
In his speech Saturday, Bush again called for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Rather than relying on false words, though, Bush based his argument on false premises — reasons with no valid support. Yesterday the Senate saw right through Bush's proposal when the legislators' vote was 49-48 — 11 short of the 60 needed to pass the amendment. While it's easy to rely on naturalistic fallacies and religious premises, there is no factual or scientific evidence supporting Bush's claim that same-sex marriages are "bad," while heterosexual ones are "good." Bush claimed that, "Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children." A seemingly commonsensical claim.
Teaching students to act responsibly and increasing the university's impact on the local economy were the focus of MSU President Lou Anna K.

When you look at Lansing, you probably aren't thinking "hip-hop." Let's be honest, not only does it look like a city where hip-hop would have a hard time existing, but it doesn't really even feel like the town has the capacity to incubate such an art form.
Using MySpace.com and other social networking Web sites may no longer be allowed in public schools and libraries if a current act passes Congress. The Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006, or DOPA, would revise the Communications Act of 1934 "to require recipients of universal service support for schools and libraries to protect minors from commercial social networking Web sites and chat rooms." "It's aimed at extending or filtering technology to schools and public libraries so that technology would be in place to prevent accessing social networking sites unless it's for an educational reason," said Jeff Urbanchuk, spokesman for U.S.
Hooray for the FDA and its recently released guidelines that will put more information in the hands of restaurant patrons. The goal of these recommendations, of course, is to curb the obesity epidemic in the U.S.
In the early '90s, Pedro Zamora of the San Francisco "The Real World" cast fit the AIDS stereotype — a gay man. Throughout the season, the MTV audience got acquainted with the devastating disease.
