The Girls Can Now Sell Their Cookies
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Savannah's city manager has granted an exemption for Girl Scouts to sell cookies outside the historic mansion of the woman who founded the organization nearly a century ago.

A complaint had halted the longtime practice of selling cookies on the public sidewalk outside the home of Juliette Gordon Low near a busy Savannah intersection. Savannah has an ordinance banning peddling on public sidewalks.

City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney used her power to make specific exemptions to city ordinance to allow the Scouts to continue their sales.
Low founded the Girl Scouts in Savannah in 1912.

Reason’s We Are Late for Work
15% of workers admit to arriving late at least once a week, according to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey. Why are so many of us running late? You might be surprised that the snooze button is not the primary culprit of tardiness.

• 32 percent of workers attribute their late arrivals to traffic gridlock

• 17 percent claim a lack of sleep is the reason

• 7 percent have trouble arriving on time because they need to get their children ready for school or day care

• Other issues, like forgetting something at home or not feeling well, are also popular.
. . .
The View on Porn
When men look at pornography, what effect does that have on the women who love them? Well, 47% of women and 33% of men believe porn harms relationships. Even so, a recent online Harris Poll finds that when it comes to the dirty little secret of pornography, we're not sure what should be done about it.

Women are generally much more critical of pornography than men. As a result, a small majority of women, but not of men, favors government regulation of pornography on the Internet.

About half of all adults believe that pornography raises men's expectation of how women should look and that it changes men's expectations of how women should behave.

High Cost for Low-Cal
A daily diet of healthy, nutritious low-calorie fare can cost a whopping 10 times more than feasting on calorie rich funk food, says a recent study.

Eating 2000 calories a day costs only $3.52 if taken from a menu of junk food like snacks, baked goods, pastries and candy, say researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle. But consuming the same number of calories cost $36.32 a day if the meals were cooked up with wholesome low calorie foods, including fruits and vegetables.

The prices of healthy foods were much more likely to be boosted by inflation than tasty treats that feature easy to come by ingredients like salt, sugar and grease. During the two year study, the cost of junk foods increased a measly 1.8 percent while prices for nourishing, low calorie foods skyrocketed by 19.5 percent.
