The restaurant industry isn t happy about the new bill. Arguments against it include the fact that diet alone is not the reason for America s obesity epidemic. A lack of adequate exercise is also to blame. In addi-(40) tion, many fast food chains already post nutritional information on their websites, or on posters located in their restaurants. 

Polsby, Daniel B. Treating the Second Amendment as Normal Constitutional Law. Kentucky Firearms Foundation. Available online. URL http //www.kyfirearms.org/news/polsby.htm. Posted on December 13, 1997. Explores how the Second Amendment would be applied if it were treated like other first class provisions of the Bill of Rights, such as the First Amendment. Polsby suggests that, like speech, the time, place and manner of bearing arms could be regulated, but the right itself would have to be respected. 

Bill Clinton, though, shifted the emphasis somewhat away from enforcement. As implemented today, the struggle against drug abuse and drug trafficking has many levels or aspects. It stretches from the street corner to the courthouse, from the border inspection post to fields of coca in Bolivia or of opium poppies in Afghanistan. 

Such prankery, proto-Situationist, anti-spectacular but fully spectacularized, seeded a movement. Offensive shock and the trashing of conventional values are not confined to the rarefied zone of the art world in the post-war period. One example provides a lesson on value from various perspectives. On 22 August 1994 Jim Cauty and Bill Drummond, The k Foundation, travelled to the island of Jura off the west coast of ScotJand with a suitcase containing 1,000,000 in new 50 notes. Two others accompanied them as witnesses to the deed they were about to commit. In the early hours of the next morning... 

This tradition of resistance at the dacha has continued into the post-Soviet period. Several informants pointed out that much like Kasyanov, even ordinary people turn to their dachas to resist the changes in allocation and privatization laws currently taking place in Russia. Even as building codes have eased and taxes on produce have been eliminated, post-Soviet citizens find other ways to articulate their views on the state of their new society. Like many apartment dwellers across the country, many dacha owners choose not to pay their utility bills. Others sneak into the fields of private farms to harvest fresh produce or borrow building materials for their own personal use.

HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. HIPAA evolved as a result of the rapid evolution of health information systems technology as well as the challenges for maintaining the confidentiality of health information. HIPAA was introduced initially as the Kennedy-Kassebaum bill, an outgrowth of the Clinton administration s attempt to revamp the health care system. The result in HIPAA was an effort to streamline and standardize the health care system and to establish the privacy of subject information. The result of this effort was the issuance of the final HIPAA rules in August, 2002, which establish the requirements that prevent the disclosure of individually identifiable health information (Privacy Rule) (1) without authorization from the subject. An accidental posting of individuals health records and fraudulent use of medical records precipitated the passage of HIPAA. 

The realized market risk premium (over the risk-free rate) is highly volatile over time, while expected risks are assumed to be stable over long periods. Therefore, the market risk premium is typically estimated over a long period of time (198). Myers and Shyam-Sunder found an arithmetic mean of 8.7 percent for excess market return over the Treasury bill rate for the period 1926-89 (285). The market risk premium declined in the post-war period, however, and the premium for the period 1947-88 was 8.3 percent (285).
