follow the bouncing brain

I've spent most of the day cycling through final projects. I can only stay focused on one topic for about an hour; so it's is actually a good thing to have a few things due in the next week.

McDonald's is close to paying more than $12 million to settle lawsuits filed by vegetarians who accused the chain of concealing the use of beef flavoring in its french fries, according to a published report.
