---- — SALEM — Mayor Kim Driscoll says she is "definitely" running for a third term.
Although her name is often tossed as a potential candidate for state-level office, Driscoll says she has projects she wants to see through in Salem.
"I'm definitely running for re-election," Driscoll said Friday. "It sounds like a cliche, but I really like what I'm doing. ... I don't have itchy feet.
"We have some amazing work going on in the city, and I want to be part of it."
Continuing to focus on the city's public schools is at the top of Driscoll's list, she said, as well as the redevelopment of the power plant site and waterfront.
Driscoll was elected as Salem's first female mayor in 2006 and re-elected in 2009 to a term that lasts through 2013. If re-elected in the November 2013 election, Driscoll would begin a third four-year term in January 2014.
She has set up a campaign page on Facebook and hosted a fundraiser reception Nov. 29 at 43 Church restaurant.
Driscoll says she's aware that pundits often mention her name when speculating which state offices, such as treasurer, could be up for grabs in the coming year.
However, the mother of three school-age children says she's sticking around. There are pivotal projects under way in Salem — from redevelopment of the Essex Street pedestrian mall and construction at the Peabody Essex Museum to the MBTA's new train station and parking garage — and having an experienced mayor in the mix is key, Driscoll said.
"I'm still happy every day I walk out my front door to go to the office," Driscoll said. "As long as that continues, I hope to have the faith of the Salem citizens."
State Rep. John Keenan, D-Salem, was among those who said they were pleased, but not surprised, that Driscoll will seek a third term.
"I think she's grown into the position over the last two terms," Keenan said. "She's one of the best mayors in the state, a leader on many, many issues."
Keenan and Driscoll have worked closely on the power plant redevelopment, MBTA garage and other projects.
"She's been a great partner. We've got a lot to finish up, more to do," Keenan said. "The mayor and I have had a great working relationship on all fronts the last few years, and I look forward to that continuing."
City Councilor Kevin Carr also worked with Driscoll during his term on the School Committee.
"I don't agree with her on everything, but I respect her and certainly enjoy working with her," Carr said. "There's a lot of things going on, and I look forward to her staying on and seeing them through. She's provided some good leadership."
Prior to being elected mayor, Driscoll was Chelsea's deputy city manager and served two terms on the Salem City Council.
She previously worked as corporation counsel to the city of Chelsea, community development director for the city of Beverly and assistant planner for the city of Salem. She has a background in planning and land use and has also worked as a real estate and commercial development attorney.
In 2009, Driscoll captured more than 80 percent of the vote over her challenger, Ken Sawicki.
She is president of the Massachusetts Mayors Association this year, a position for which she was nominated by her peers — nearly 50 mayors from across the state.
"The mayor is an extremely effective executive," said School Committee member Brendan Walsh. "She has her eye out for anything that might enhance the quality of life in the city. She certainly works at the job — she's everywhere. Generally, I think she does a terrific job."
Longtime City Councilor Joseph O'Keefe also lauded Driscoll for the progress made under her tenure.
"She brings a lot of perspective to city government that I think we need," O'Keefe said. "She's a down-to-earth person, she has an open mind. ... The city will benefit from her wisdom, experience and honesty."
"She's an excellent mayor, I support probably 99 percent of her programs," O'Keefe said.
Driscoll lives on Glenn Avenue with her husband, Nick, and their three children, Delaney, Ailish and Nicholas.

Digging Oregon's History at Champoeg State Heritage Area
If you enjoy traveling across Oregon, consider a different sort of journey that lets you travel back to a time when pioneers were putting down roots and starting new lives. At Champoeg State Heritage Area, volunteers really dig Oregon history.
Karly Law loves digging into history and this summer she's scraping through decades of it, one centimeter at a time. The Oregon State University junior had never seen anything like the palm-sized blue ceramic that she uncovered in the dirt. The young archaeology student was about to make a little history as she pulled the piece that was buried two feet deep in the soil and perhaps dating back nearly centuries too.
OSU Archeology Professor Dr. David Brauer says that OSU's Archaeology Field School touches the past that's hidden in the dirt at an Oregon State Park that's rich with artifacts from the early 19th century. The first pioneers put down roots 180 years ago in the Willamette Valley and they didn't speak English. "You would hear French – that was the dominant language. The people, the language – all would have been French-Canadian settlers. In fact, the first floor in this house has their artifacts from the 1820's and 1830's and we didn't expect that in any way, shape or form."
Champoeg State Park Manager Bryan Nielsen adds: "It's the heritage of Oregon and part of our history that led up to statehood. We're protecting something under the ground – that we didn't even know was here – and how lucky we are to have it in a state park."
Park visitors who join in on the free guided tours of the Champoeg dig site are even luckier because they get to watch the scientists in action. OSU graduate student Molly Manion guides the tours that occur each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 am sharp. The groups range in size from a couple of dozen to as many as fifty park visitors.
The visitors have a chance to watch the action, ask questions and ponder a different time in Oregon's past. Manion said that this summer's project is rewriting the Oregon story: "By digging at this site, we've added 20 years to Oregon history that we never would have put together without putting archeology and archives together."
One of the new discoveries that they are putting together is that the French-Canadian settlers lived a much better quality of life than previously thought. That fact is measured by small classic comforts like porcelain dishware.
So far, the dig team has unearthed more than 9,000 artifacts at the park site. That brings us back to Karly Law, who discovered a ceramic chunk with a telltale British trademark. The ceramic piece was part of a larger vase or bowl. It was rare, unusual and she couldn't have been more proud.
The dig, the tours and the rewriting of Oregon history continue each Monday, Wednesday and Friday through August 13 at Champoeg State Park. The tours start 10 am sharp.

I had the pleasure of visiting my son and seeing Oregon for the first time in May. He shared the site's we could go see and Champoeg was one of them.
Spent the whole day there and loved it! What a wealth of history there! I came home wanting to move to Oregon. It's just a beautiful, green, peaceful place.
Loretta Stolarz says…
My family and I lived in the Willamette Valley for about six years. I had never done any ancestry research until after we had moved away. Now I have learned that my 3rd Great Grand Uncle was Joseph Delard (Delore)! I am descended from his brother, Charles. This was such an exciting find for me…then I saw this 'Digging Oregon' come up on my facebook page through Travel Oregon! Very cool :D I hope to visit the Champoeg area sometime soon!

Growing up the daughter of a pastor, Hope Bradley learned the importance of helping others at an early age.
So when she heard about the chance to become the new leader of Stewart's Caring Place: Cancer Wellness Center, Bradley was immediately attracted to the opportunity.
"It just felt right in my heart," she said.
Bradley, 34, of Brunswick, recently became executive director of the Fairlawn nonprofit agency, which provides support each year to about 1,000 individuals with cancer or their family members.
The previous co-directors left the organization in the spring.
Prior to joining Stewart's Caring Place in October, Bradley worked at Kent State University, where she helped secure gifts for the university's $250 million capital campaign.
The new position was appealing, she said, "because I can raise money for a building, but it's something to be able to raise funds for something that is going to change people's lives at the absolute worst times."
In her new role, Bradley said her goal is to expand the organization's financial support so more programs can be added.
Stewart's Caring Place now relies on two annual events for the majority of its annual operating budget, which she said was roughly $650,000 last year.
"I want to diversify us financially," she said. "I want to look at having an annual fund campaign. Eventually, I would like for us to do a sustainability campaign."
The two annual events — the Hope Walk and the Butterfly Gala — will continue, she said. "I want the two events to be the icing on the cake, but not the cake we're eating from."
For more information about Stewart's Caring Place, call 330-836-1772 or go online to www.stewartscaringplace.org.

Katenen Dioubate ... a.k.a. CHEKA
Among the Mandé peoples of western Africa, caste is destiny; among Katenen Dioubate ... a.k.a. CHEKA
Among the Mandé peoples of western Africa, caste is destiny; among the Dioubaté clan of Kankan, Guinea, the men and women are born to sing. Whatever else they do—going into business, higher education, or homemaking—each generation of Dioubaté is responsible for learning its society's history, its favourite stories, and its great people's lineages, and for entertaining its audiences therewith in song. Each generation is responsible, in short, for serving the community as jeli (known in the West as griots).
Katenen Dioubaté took to her calling from a tender age. She made her public debut singing for her school at the competitive Sékou Touré Kankan (festival) when she was all of 7 years old. Her school would win the festival every year until she graduated. Katenen's teachers often let her miss lessons to practise her craft, with their desk as her stage and the class her audience. (Only her teachers could explain whether they were nurturing a prodigious talent, or prolonging her schooling to capture more trophies.) With aunts and other family to foster her talents, Katenen performed at a wide array of community and public events that required the presence of a jeli—baptisms, weddings, parties—where her voice so endeared her to the people of Kankan that everyone began to call her chère Katenen, shortened in the end to Cheka.
Cheka made her Toronto debut in January 2007 at the NOW Lounge, in a tribute to the late kora master Boubacar Diabaté. This was followed by appearances at the Lula Lounge and at AfroFest Toronto the same year. At Afrofest 2007 she shared the stage with world-renowned kora player Toumani Diabaté before an audience of 10,000 in a performance that was broadcast nationally on CBC radio, Canada's national radio station.
Cheka has a great desire to share her beloved Mande' culture with all Canadians and spearheaded the establishment of Toronto's Mamaya, a secular West African festival. This annual celebration of unity and equality was born, like Cheka herself, in Kankan and over successive generations, spread to the neighbouring countries of Côte D'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal. Mamaya has even gained a foothold in New York City. Cheka was the one to present Canada's first ever Mamaya event in August 2006.
In 2009 Cheka shared the stage with Ballake Sissoko, the world-renowned kora player at York University where she explained the history of the Mande' Jeli, and the meaning behind several Jeli traditions. She has also discussed the role of the Jeli through dance and music presentations at primary and middle schools in Toronto North York.
As a griot, Katenen has a strong foundation in a profound and vast tradition. As a new Canadian she has the resources and technology to make music that both reflects her Mande' tradition and is accessible to world listeners. All who hear her agree that she is bound to make her mark on the Canadian and World music scenes.
In July of 2010 Cheka launched her first CD album titled Djelilou produced by Quammie. The title track "Djelilou", is a moving tribute to all Jelis, her mother and father and the rich tradition that they have passed down. The CD launch featured Guinean superstar Sekouba Bambino and an all star band led by Ivorian keyboardist and arranger David Mobio.

Stress Management Health Center
Serving Up Stress Relief: Comfort Food In High Demand
Nov. 9, 2001 -- At the Silver Grill in midtown Atlanta, the blue-plate special is in demand. "Meat, three vegetables, that kind of thing," says owner Kevin Huggins. "Straight-ahead basic American fare -- Southern diner fare."
These days, Huggins is hearing about comfort food. "Guy said to me the other day, he just had to get his comfort food."
All over the country, people are ordering more of the stuff they grew up eating -- quintessential comfort food -- meals that soothe our souls in tumultuous times.
Piled-high mashed potatoes. Country-fried steak. Meatloaf. Fried chicken. Macaroni-and-cheese. Pancakes on Saturday morning. A burger-and-fries lunch. And at snack time, there's good old-fashioned chips.
A recent ACNielsen survey of grocery store sales showed that snack food sales were up nearly 12.4% in September over last year. The sale of instant potatoes jumped almost 13%, according to Information Resources, Inc.
In offices around Atlanta, snack distributor Larry Stuckey keeps vending machines packed with chips, cookies, pastries, and candy. The stuff seems to be moving faster these days -- but certainly not the healthy stuff. Those granola bars haven't moved in weeks.
"Junk food still leads," he tells WebMD.
Indulging in our favorite foods "certainly is not unusual in times of stress," says Alan Hack, PhD, private practice clinical psychologist in Manhattan.
"People regress, trying to find ways to feel safe," he tells WebMD. "All of our earliest experiences of safety are about food, when mother was feeding us."
Eating also offers us the sense of control we crave, says Hack. "This terrorist act has taken a lot of that from us. What we put in our mouths feels like control, the one thing I can do that helps me take care of myself."
Unfortunately, we forget the long-term effects of all that fattening food.
"The risks of chronic disease -- heart disease and cancer -- don't go away," says Chris Rosenbloom, PhD, chairman of nutrition at Georgia State University and spokesperson for the American Dietetics Association.
Her advice: if you can't resist comfort foods, try cooking at home.
"You can still have your mashed potatoes, just use chicken broth or skim milk instead of cream," she tells WebMD. "There are lots of wonderful cookbooks of healthy, home-style, or comfort food."
Remember, too, to get some exercise, Rosenbloom advises. "I find the best way to relieve stress is to take care of myself, to exercise. I'm not a marathon runner, not a tri-athlete. There's nothing like a walk on a beautiful day -- going out with your dog for a brisk walk or taking your kids to the park when the fall weather is beautiful. Studies show that exercise is a great stress releaser."
Keep in mind that the holidays are coming up, she says. One study published last year showed that people don't tend to gain much weight over the holidays -- maybe just one or two pounds -- but they also don't take off the weight in January.

Plan to Take on Drug-resistant Tuberculosis: Government Official
by Rukmani Krishna on August 20, 2013 at 11:57 PM General Health News - G J E 4
An official said that improving diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis and strengthening the quality of preventive care are some key measure being taken by the government to check the spread of the disease.
Under the revised national tuberculosis control programme, the government has envisaged implementing these steps as part of the 12th five-year plan, a health and family welfare ministry official said.
He said the government planned to provide quality preventive care to vulnerable groups like slum dwellers and tribals.
The focus would also be on expanding the diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis and promoting research on the disease.
According to the WHO, 320,000 tuberculosis patients died in 2010 in India.
The estimated death rate per 100,000 people due to tuberculosis declined from 38 in 1990 to 27 in 2010 and further down to 24 in 2011.

Occupy Wall Street Removed from Zuccotti Park by NYPD (11/15/2011)
Around 1 a.m. on November 15, the New York Police Department
forcibly removed Occupy Wall Street protesters (OWS) from their
months-long encampment in Zuccotti Park. Depending on how you feel
about OWS, the clearing of the privately owned park was either long
overdue or a violation of First Amendment rights. A new policy
allows protesters to gather in the park, but they cannot sleep or
camp there.
Reason contributor Michael Tracey captured live footage as the NYPD forced OWS participants out of the park and away from adjacent areas. This four-minute video is taken from about 35 minutes of footage and includes an interview with a protester explaining how the original clearing of the park took place. "Even like the legitimate press," he explains, "like CNN, they [the NYPD] wouldn't allow them in there."
Watch also NYPD Cop Punches Protester, similarly taken from Tracey's footage.
And check out our ongoing OWS videos and coverage here.

All you compulsive voters out there who helped the Berkley High School Marching Band take number one in the MY TV 20 Marching Band award will see the $1,000 put to colorful use this fall.
BHS Band Director Alan Posner says the money awarded by TV20 in sponsorship with Xfinity and the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning, is being used to fund a color guard, something the band has not had in more than five years.
"We currently have 16 in color guard and have been rehearsing for a couple weeks," says Posner. "The color guard adds to our 'general effect.' The group will make the band seem even larger while adding a positive visual aspect to the performance."
Posner estimates that nearly 90 percent of all high school bands in Michigan have a color guard or some form of non-musical visual element. The color guard gives students a chance to be a part of the band even if they don't play an instrument, though Posner states that color guard will be learning instrumentation for a portion of the semester.
Holly Vollmar, a Berkley resident and music student at Wayne State University, is rehearsing with color guard once a week. No word yet on what the program will be for the Marching Band this fall, but color guard and drumline are already rehearsing weekly, and full Marching Band camp will begin August 12.
Posner thanked all the voters who helped make this possible. TV20 also donated "rally towels," which were distributed to students and faculty at the Snowcoming pep assembly earlier this month.

AIG Executive Bonus Debacle
Apparently Jake DeSantis did his job working 10-14-hour days and taking an annual salary of $1 at AIG ["Jake DeSantis: Dear AIG, I Quit!" usnews.com].
Apparently Jake DeSantis did his job working 10-14-hour days and taking an annual salary of $1 at AIG ["Jake DeSantis: Dear AIG, I Quit!" usnews.com]. Under contract he would make a bonus based on profitability of his division. He knew the risks involved under contract, performed his job duties under contract, and should be paid based on his contract. He did his job. I would not give up my hard earned money. He sacrificed his life and family life. By the way Jake I am starting a new business. My team consists of honesty, credibility, and integrity. I want you on my team.
Comment by Paul M. of IL
I believe that all AIG should be free to offer whatever bonuses it desires without interference from the U.S. government, and our alleged representatives. I feel just as strongly that they should receive no monetary assistance from the U.S. taxpayers whatsoever. If they fail? So be it. I bet Mr. DeSantis wouldn't get a bonus then either. I do believe he has a point in that there appears to be insufficient accountability held against those in his company that did cause their problems and subsequently absconded.
Comment by Blaise of CT
DeSantis is exactly right. Do you punish a plumber who fixed the pipes when a careless electrician burned the house down ... even if both work for the same builder? It's a scary mob mentality out there on these bonuses. Mr. DeSantis's letter [to the New York Times] shows that it isn't quite as simple as the press, politicians, or John Q Public is making it out to be. And the attorneys general? Please. They're running for governor in their respective states and are demagoguing this. Well done, Mr. DeSantis.
Comment by Michael McKinney of MD
Why do we compare an MIT graduate to people who barely made it out of high school? Look, the guy worked hard. He chose a difficult profession. Most people don't understand finance, derivatives, etc. Like it or not, there's a big difference between that field and punching a cash register for a living. Sorry, but those are the facts. And how many people would agree to work for $1 now for a bonus a year later no matter how large? Most of us couldn't or wouldn't. Most of us want our money now. We're just not risk-takers. People in this profession are.
Comment by G. Garza of TX
It is inconceivable that a man as intelligent as Jake DeSantis did not understand that others in AIG Financial Products were playing fast and loose with the credit default swap transactions, spelling eventual disaster. And yet he chose to stay. Now he is shocked—shocked at his guilt by association. Give me a break.
Comment by Steve R. of GA
Mr. DeSantis gave me a different perspective on this issue and much to think about. This bonus situation was not as black and white as we were led to believe. I wish him well.
Comment by Suzanne Horn of CA
People criticize what they don't understand. Will we ever know the full truth? So many make the assumption they know it all. The whole media and congressional reaction to these payments reminds me of an angry mob looking to go out lynching a witch in Protestant Salem or a dictator in Iraq. Will the American public or its leaders ever grow up? Hats off to a man dedicated to giving it to those who really need it, I look forward to seeing his list.

"Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" was the gold standard for TV viewing on the biggest party night of the year, while also providing the inspiration for the Couch Potato's own annual party, "New Year's Freakin', Rockin' Eve."
The Y2K crisis came and went, but "New Year's Freakin', Rockin' Eve" lasted on into my college years, before all of my friends turned 21 and put a halt to the celebrations, at least in terms of them happening in my parent's basement.
By 2006, Mrs. Couch Potato had happily said 'I do' and we moved into our little apartment. After a two-year party hosting hiatus, we decided to resurrect the "New Year's Freakin', Rockin' Eve" and have been hosting ever since.
So here's some of the highlights (and lowlights) from the last seven years of parties:
Year 1 - My aforementioned friend Dennis, who now lives in Japan, knocked over my DVD stack, spent an hour trying to put them back in alphabetical order, dumped thousands of pieces of confetti all over our apartment, sang Huey Lewis songs on a portable karaoke and then proceeded to run the sweeper and try to do dishes at 6 o'clock in the morning as everyone slept (or at least tried to).
Year 2 - We were now moved into a new house that Mrs. Couch Potato had meticulously decorated. A conversation of strength and toughness somehow arose, so my friend Eggy (his head is shaped like an egg) and I wrestled in our living room. He's a personal trainer and I'm a lazy bum, but I pinned him. He claims it was due to him wearing socks and me wearing shoes, but we all know the truth.
Year 4 - An uneventful year 3 led to some fireworks in year 4. My friend RJ brought a surprise guest who was a college friend of ours from Slippery Rock. That was great, but the surprise guest brought his own surprise guest (which none of us knew). He turned out to be a lot of fun, but we all stuck our collective feet in our mouths as we gossiped about a non-invited friend who recently had been divorced. The double surprise guest meekly said, "I just got divorced, too." Whoops.
Year 5 - My friend Z-bird broke out his new stand-up routine, which was met with a less-than-positive response, including plenty of groans. About one-half of the 5 minute set focused on his theory that traffic lights mimicked human characteristics. Red lights were mean people, green lights were laid back people and yellow lights were high strung people. It was even worse than it sounds. His one high note was a Chewbacca impression, who was upset at the recent hike in gas prices while trying to fill up the Starship Enterprise.
Year 6 - This was the first party in our brand new home. I was sick, nothing happened and everyone wondered how we got so old. Good times!
Year 7 - Last year picked up a little bit. Z-bird's stand-up routine reached new heights (it was actually funny), Eggy got pummeled in a political debate and RJ ran the remote control to perfection. It wasn't the high point of the party life, but we had fun.

Cornish Hen HistoryOne food historian credits chicken mogul Donald John Tyson for creating the Rock Cornish game hen by cross-breeding White Rock hens and Cornish hens in 1965. His intent was alledgedly to create a specialty item at a higher price to appeal to a fast-growing contingent of consumers referred to in our contemporary times as foodies.
However, other sources credit Alphonsine and Jacques Makowsky of Connecticut for developing this small bird some ten years earlier. Their intent was similar, to breed a small chicken with mostly white meat suitable for a single serving. The Makowskys sold their business in 1967.
The U.S. patent and trademark files show no ownership filings for the breed. Perhaps the origin confusion arises as a combined result of the sale of the Makowsky business and the commercial success of Tyson in marketing these little tasty birds.
In addition to commanding a higher price, the game hens have a shorter growing span, 28 to 30 days as opposed to 42 or more for regular chicken. In spite of the higher prices for all things small these days, Cornish game hens are still quite affordable.
Two-thirds of Cornish game hens sold in the United States come from Tyson Foods, Inc.

The work, while tiring, can be very personally rewarding. You are basically creating a work of art every time someone sits down in your chair and gives you an hour to transform their appearance. Film is a visual medium, and there is nothing more visual than what you do. If working on a film such as Alice in Wonderland, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, or The Chronicles of Narnia, your work may be one of the most memorable aspects of the film to a movie-goer. This is certainly the case for a film such as Norbit, which the audience will mainly like to otherwise forget.

Five steps the recently re-elected mayor could take to honor the office
EDITORIAL Mayor Ed Lee has always talked about bringing the city together, about avoiding division and harsh conflict. And how that he's won a four-year term, he's going to have to address a wide range of city problems that in the past haven't responded well to consensus and compromise.
He's going to have to do it in the wake of an election in which the centrist candidates all finished low in the pack — and the strongest progressive actually won more votes than anyone else on Election Day. And his victory comes at a time when there's more concern over economic inequality than this country has seen since the 1930s — represented most visibly by the large and growing OccupySF encampment.
The mayor received huge financial support — in the hundreds of thousands of dollars — from some of the same people and businesses that the Occupy movement is targeting. Some of his campaign contributors have an conservative economic agenda that's way to the right of the center of San Francisco politics. And some of his closest allies (and strongest supporters) are, to put it kindly, ethically challenged.
So it's not going to be easy for the mild-mannered mayor to lead the city — and if he wants to be successful, he needs to work with and not ignore the left.
There are a few critical steps that would show the people who opposed him that he's not a captive of big-business interests and that he can be trusted:
1. Appoint a real progressive to Sheriff-elect Ross Mirkarimi's District Five supervisorial seat. If Lee is really a mayor who's above petty politics, the chief criterion for the appointment shouldn't be loyalty to Lee.
District Five supported Avalos over Lee by a solid margin (in the Haight, Avalos got twice as many votes as Lee). The district has been represented by two people, Matt Gonzalez and Mirkarimi, both of whom were elected as Green Party members. It's almost certainly the most left-leaning district in the city, and deserves a supervisor who represents that political perspective. Most of the qualified people who fit that description supported a candidate other than Ed Lee for mayor.
2. Don't send the cops to roust OccupySF. The movement has support all over the city and is making an historic statement. It's probably the most important political demonstration in San Francisco since the 1960s. A mayor who has any shred of a progressive soul should recognize that the most important issue facing this city and this nation is the wealth and income gap and help OccupySF make its voice even louder.
3. Present a plan for more than a "cuts only" budget. Yes, the sales tax measure lost, putting a hole in the city budget, and yes, it will be a year before a credible new revenue measure can go on the ballot. But now is the time to start bringing people together to look at what comprehensive tax reforms might be more appealing than a regressive sales tax.
4. Don't give away the city to the One Percent. A developer wants to build 160 condos for the very, very rich on the waterfront at 8 Washington. Mayoral ally Rose Pak supports the project. It's about as blatant an example as possible of something that only benefits multimillionaires, and it will be one of the first major land-use decisions Lee will have to grapple with. Making his opposition clear would demonstrate his independence.
5. Run an open administration. Both previous mayors, Gavin Newsom and Willie Brown, were openly hostile to the press, hostile to open government and supremely arrogant. Lee has a different personal style — and he ought to show that he respect the Sunshine Ordinance by directing his departments to abide by the rulings of the Sunshine Task Force.
That's what good government would look like.
Having recently picked up a street copy of the SFBG, I was incredibly disappointed to see no less than 3 typos on page 5 (your editorial section)!
If we are going to take the time to read your paper, you all should take the time to proofread it before your readers do it for you.
"And how that he's won a four-year term, he's going to ..."
>> And now that he's won
"Some of his campaign contributions have an conservative economic agenda ..."
>> have a conservative economic agenda
"But the new super rich of Silicon Valley have managed to come up in an economy that as shed jobs and houses ..."
>> an economy that has shed jobs and houses
After reading this page, I declined to read the remainder of your paper.
Please try harder.

Guide Review - Canon Pixma MP990 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer
That caveat aside, you will get very good results from this printer. Blacks came out much richer and deeper than on many other printers I've seen, making text look that much better. A 4x6 color photo came out looking spectacular, with colors vivid and sharp (and the ink dry to the touch when it finished).
Print speeds across the wireless network were certainly very good. A four-page Word document printed across the wireless network in only 37 seconds, with the first page out in about 21 seconds. A colorful four-page PDF took about two minutes when using the built-in duplexer--that's as long as some other Canon Pixma printers take to print out that document simplex--and switching to simplex printing (one side only) saw print time drop to 58 seconds. Again, though, when using duplex mode the colored graphics left the copy paper limp. A 4x6 took about 57 seconds, which isn't all that fast (and is a lot slower than the 21 seconds that Canon says is possible--likely with much lower resolution.
The printer (which has no fax) is fairly big, but looks good with rounded corners and a very large (3.8-inch) LCD screen and buttons under a fold-up panel. The large LCD screen makes browsing photos from a memory card easy. The printer has an "Easy Scroll Wheel" that allows you to flip quickly through features. The lid of the scanner has a place to fit photo negatives, which is very handy--a quick and simple fix to a serious issue for photographers.

There has been a large increase in oat bran sales, said Kenneth Treat, regional grocery manager for Safeway in the Northwest. Demand at one point was so great that Safeway could not keep shelves stocked with the leading brand, Quaker, according to Treat.

Regional pay deal proposal revealed (From Wharfedale Observer)

Regional pay deal proposal revealed
10:44pm Friday 16th March 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A move to shift civil servants to regional pay deals under Budget proposals will spark anger from trade unions
Civil servants could be moved to regional pay deals from as early as next month under Budget proposals that risk inflaming trade union anger.
As political wrangling continued over the final details of the package to be unveiled by Chancellor George Osborne, more details emerged of some expected changes.
North Sea oil firms are to be offered guarantees of long-term tax breaks for decommissioning old rigs in a bid to encourage billions of pounds of investment. And controversial moves to recalculate public sector pay rates to better reflect local variations in the private sector are expected to be accelerated.
Some of the more highly contentious aspects of Wednesday's Budget were discussed in a conference call by the so-called "Quad" of senior Conservative and Liberal Democrat figures at lunchtime. David Cameron, Mr Osborne, Nick Clegg and Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander are due to gather in person on Monday to put the finishing touches to the measures.
It is understood that the Budget "scorecard" has been presented to the Office for Budget Responsibility so it can calculate the economic impact of the changes. But although that met the deadline set for the independent body to start crunching the numbers, Downing Street indicated that the negotiations would continue into next week.
Those wrangles are mainly over tax cuts for top earners amid reports the Chancellor will set out moves to scrap the top 50p income tax rate on £150,000-plus salaries. While that would be hugely popular with Tory MPs as a stimulus to growth and a victory within the coalition, the Lib Dems want extra taxes on the rich and help for the lowest paid in return.
The Independent reported that Mr Clegg, whose party was previously opposed to lowering the rate, had struck a deal that a drop to 45p would be countered by a "tycoon tax" on the super wealthy. His proposal would set a minimum floor on the percentage of overall income paid by the wealthiest. But Labour leader Ed Miliband denounced an income tax cut "targeted at the richest people in Britain" as the "wrong priority" - saying youth unemployment should be the prime focus.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "Moving to regional pay will not just reduce the pay of millions of public servants, but hit regional economies outside London and the South East as people have less to spend. This budget is shaping up to be a giveaway for the super-rich and a takeaway from Britain's hardest hit regions."
Business Secretary Vince Cable said care needed to be taken over how local pay was implemented to protect career progression in the civil service. He said: "The idea of having more flexibility in the public sector is surely right.
"What we are trying to do is to make sure that throughout the public sector there is more genuine decision making at a local level and you have to take into account pay and conditions. But it has got to be done very carefully because in the civil service, for example, you have to have career progression and that kind of national consideration has to be woven into the story as well."

More layoffs to report in Eastern Carolina.
Domtar Corporation announced Monday that 185 people will lose their jobs at the end of February. Domtar is permanently shutting down one of the two paper machines at the plant in Plymouth, according to a press release.
The layoffs will affect various parts of the mill.
"Continued adverse economic conditions and the decline of fine paper orders require that we reduce our uncoated freesheet manufacturing capacity," said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Domtar. "Plymouth employees have made commendable efforts over the years to keep their facility operating efficiently and I want to thank all affected employees for their hard work and dedication," Mr. Williams said in a press release.
Domtar says the Plymouth mill will continue to operate two pulp lines, one pulp dryer and one paper machine.

Severe flood warning issued for Lymington with 'risk to life'
Updated 4:29pm Friday 14th February 2014 in News By James Franklin, Political reporter
A SEVERE flood warning has been issued for a Hampshire community today.
The Environment Agency (EA) has issued its most serious warning, meaning there is a risk to life, for Lymington this evening.
The organisation says high tides and strong winds from 11pm onwards will pose a risk to homes near to the coastline.
Water levels will be near the top of the sea walls, causing some waves to crash over the defences.
Riverside areas in Lymington, Lower Pennington and Keyhaven are all considered at risk, although the EA says flood defences should be able to protect "most properties".
Homes in Town Slip, Lymington, are seen as the most vulnerable, and the EA has warned that water levels could be as much as half-a-metre deep if their pumping efforts fail.
EA staff and firefighters will all man the defences this evening, attempting to pump out water.
The gate over the toll bridge will also be closed to stop water flowing down Waterloo Road.
Anyone with concerns should contact the EA's floodline on 0845 9881188, selecting option one.
While there have been a number of warnings for Lymington over the past two months, this is the most serious issued by the EA.

Over the following days you have reverted to quoting the old 0845 number again.
Continue to call the 0845 number only if you are on "BT Weekend" or "BT Evening and Weekend" (or a landline provider that copies those BT prices) and you are making a call during a weekday and you therefore have to pay for it, or you are on "Vodafone pay as you go".
Almost everyone else should call the brand new 0345 number and this applies whether using a landline or a mobile.
All callers with an inclusive call plan on their landline or mobile will find that calls to 0345 numbers are inclusive within their calls allowance.
Mobile users on pay as you go phones pay less for 0345 calls than for 0845 calls (except for those on Vodafone, which charges 0845 calls at a discounted rate).

Just I case you didn't know all 0300, 0330, 0345 are inclusive of any "free minutes"

Story by Jeff Lipton
Not even a superstorm could dampen the holiday
spirit enjoyed by the children in Long Beach.
Acting like a modern-day Grinch, Hurricane Sandy
arrived within striking distance of Christmas and tried to steal the holiday
from Long Beach children and their families.
On top of that, a devastating fire at the Knights of
Columbus headquarters in Long Beach, where the annual children's Christmas
party was scheduled to be held, all but dashed hopes for a normal holiday
celebration for the kids.
However, a massive toy drive was undertaken and not
one but two Christmas parties will be held for Long Beach kids.
blaze at the Long Beach Knights of ColumbusMsgr. Cass 2626, at 970 West Beech St., on Dec. 10, sent the Knights scrambling
for an alternative location for the annual party.
The party will now be held on Sunday, Dec. 23, from
1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at St. Ignatius gymnasium on West Broadway and New York
Avenue. Ronald Bowne, the grand knight, said his list of guests includes at
least 75 children, who will be given about 400 toys that were donated.
"For the last two and a half months, these residents
have been stressing and it will be nice just to see a smile on the children's
faces, which will make it all worthwhile," said Browne.
In addition, the Nassau County Sheriff's Correction
Officers Benevolent Association (COBA) organized a week-long toy drive for Long
Beach kids impacted by Sandy, collecting more than 500 toys at its headquarters
in East Meadow. COBA ramped up its efforts after learning about the devastating
fire at the Knights of Columbus.
"We thought that helping the kids in the community
of Long Beach was a great idea," said Greg Lanning, a COBA delegate. "But after
the fire happened, we said, 'Wow, now what?"
The toys will be distributed during an
invitation-only party for the children at the Father Joseph O'Connell Council
of the Knights of Columbus, at 27 Kenneth Place in Oceanside, on Saturday, Dec.
22, from 12 noon to 4 p.m.
About 100 children will attend that party, said
Lanning, who added that it will include a magician, a clown, a DJ and, of
course, Santa.
He added that about 300 new winter coats that were donated
will also be distributed.
"At the end of the day, it's all about cheering
things up a little bit for the children and their families," said Lanning. "It's
about people stepping up."
Lanning said COBA heard that the Long Beach Knights were using their lodge as a
distribution point for Sandy victims in need of food and clothing.
"What do you do when the place that helps those in
need is now in need themselves?" said Lanning. "It was a no-brainer. We've got
to be there for them. It was not a big deal. We do the toy drive anyway. We
just had to kick it up a little."
He credits Brielle Hills of Oceanside, who helps out
with the American Red Cross, for getting donations and spearheading the toy
drive and the Oceanside party's activities.
"I see these kids and my heart bleeds for them,"
said Hills, who grew up in Long Beach. "With the Red Cross, I've just seen
about everything from the hurricane.
"I want to put a smile on every child's face," she
added. "I want them to be happy and joyful. I want this to be a moment they
will never forget."
Meanwhile, Browne said the burned-out building in
Long Beach will be razed and a new one built in its place, where the Knights
plan to hold next year's Christmas party.

With September drawing to a close, we came to the end of the third quarter of 2011. The end of a quarter is a good time to look back and see how the real estate market performed both over the quarter and year to date. All data below was obtained from the MLS Property Information Network, Inc.
For the period of July 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011, there were 47 in Canton. Year to date through September 30, 2011, there have been 107 homes sold in Canton. The average number of days on the market for the entire three quarters was 115.
How does that compare to last year? For July 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, there were 35 in Canton. For the first three quarters of 2010, there were a total of 114 homes sold in Canton. The average number of days on the market for that same period was 118.
While there were overall fewer home sales in Canton in the first three quarters of 2011 compared to 2010, the silver lining is that the third quarter of 2011 showed a gain over the second quarter of 2011, as well as a gain compaired to the same time period in 2010. Furthermore, 2011 showed a steady inrease of sales over each quarter. Also, remember that the Federal tax credit for home buyers was still in effect for transactions closed by the end of September, 2010. When you figure that in to the numbers, the number of homes sold year to year is not off all that much.
As for average , that dropped slightly from 2010 to 2011. However, the tax credit could have impacted these numbers as well.
The good news in this is for home buyers looking to in Canton, the low prices combined with the still historic low interest rates make it a good time to buy. The last quarter will show us if home prices may be on the rebound. Furthermore, the numbers indicate that the real estate market in Canton is holding its own.
Stay tuned to see what the numbers show for the final quarter of 2011.

MINOT, N.D. — Todd Hoffner never gave up the dream of coaching college football again, but he admitted Thursday that there were times, having applied for several other jobs, that he wondered when it would happen.
On Thursday, Hoffner was named the football coach at Minot State, and you could hear the emotion in his voice. Almost nine months ago, he was fired by Minnesota State University, even after charges of producing child pornography were dropped by prosecutors.
"It's gratifying," he said. "I was up against all the odds, given that accusation. I think I've climbed a mountain that not many people thought I could. It's very refreshing that the people at Minot gave me this opportunity."
Hoffner addressed the team at 6 a.m. Thursday in Minot before an offseason weight-training session and then spoke at an afternoon news conference. He said that he asked for several improvements in the program, such as assistants' pay and increased scholarships, before accepting the position. There is also a $4 million stadium renovation that will include coaches' offices, meeting room, suites and a press box.
"We are extremely excited to bring Todd Hoffner on board as our next head football coach," Minot State athletic director Rick Hedberg said in a press release. "To get someone with his experience and success at the Division II level is really a plus for our program and our entire athletic department."
Hoffner was one of three finalists for the job and had an interview on campus Monday. The other finalists were Wayne State defensive coordinator Mike Aldrich and Wisconsin-Stevens Point offensive coordinator Aaron Vlcko.
Hoffner coached at Minnesota State from 2008 to 2012, when his teams went 34-13, winning a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championship in 2011 and South Division titles in 2008, 2009 and 2011. In 2009, he led the Mavericks to the Division II playoffs, hosting the first-ever postseason game at Blakeslee Stadium.

PASADENA, Calif. -- Though she's had highly publicized law enforcement encounters involving cocaine and marijuana, Paris Hilton is pretty sure no one is talking about whether or not she has a drug problem.
"No one is saying that," she insists during an interview to promote "The World According to Paris," a new unscripted series about her real life.
In recent years, Hilton has made a name for herself for legal woes and brushes with the law as much as her career accomplishments. She's had her driver's license suspended after being arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Later, she served jail time. Last year, she was detained and released after being caught in possession of cannabis at Figari airport, Corsica. A month later, Hilton was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession in Las Vegas.
Despite being the brunt of late-night jokes for those incidents, Hilton claims, "I don't listen to (the comedians)."
However, Hilton does listen to her instinct about what people want to see from her. "The World According to Paris" (10 p.m. Wednesdays, Oxygen) marks the first time she's let cameras into her daily life. "The Simple Life," her entry in reality TV and airing in 2003, paired her with best friend Nicole Richie to travel across the country and live life with families and other strangers in the Midwest. She followed that with "Paris Hilton's My New BFF," a MTV competition from 2008.
Hilton also has her hands in many ventures, including fashion and perfumes. She can make a small fortune by just showing up at a club on opening night.
"I was the one who started reality television," she says, though MTV's "The Real World" debuted more than a decade before "The Simple Life" and even "Survivor" on CBS, the longest-running network reality show, started in 2000. What Hilton has done for reality TV is to bring celebrities into that genre that, for the most part, has mainly featuring non-actors who gained fame through their series.
" 'The Simple Life' is the first big reality show out there," she says. "I enjoyed doing that. I'm not an actress. I'm a business woman."
The catalyst for her new series was turning 30. Hilton says the milestone caused her to take stock. "There are so many misconceptions and rumors and lies about me," she says. "When people see the show, they are going to see I am a real person with feelings, and I go through things just like any other woman."

Alert: Toxic Hair Treatments
04.19.11 Alert: Toxic Hair Treatments
People go to great lengths to have beautiful hair. But is wearing a gas mask going too far? OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has issued a hazard alert surrounding the usage of products involved in straightening hair, particularly the trendy "Brazilian Blowout". The alert went into effect this week after dangerously high levels of formaldehyde were found in the air of salons using these hair-straightening keratin products—even though, as the report discloses, the products are often listed as "formaldehyde-free".
After reported side effects including hair loss, blistered scalps, nosebleeds, eye irritation and difficulty breathing, tests were performed on this hot product and found that it contained 10% Formaldehyde, which is a known carcinogen and allergen. OSHA states, "Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas. You can be exposed to formaldehyde if you breathe it into your lungs, if it gets into your eyes, or if it is contained in a product that gets onto your skin. You can also be exposed accidentally if you touch your face, eat food, or drink after using a product containing formaldehyde without first washing your hands. Formaldehyde is a "sensitizer," which means that it can cause allergic reactions of the skin, eyes, and lungs such as asthma-like breathing problems and skin rashes and itching. When formaldehyde is in a product that gets sprayed into the eyes, it can damage the eyes and cause blindness. It is also a cancer hazard that has been linked to nose and lung cancer."
Stacy Malkan, co-founder of the national campaign for safe cosmetics, writes "It's time to bring the FDA and federal cosmetic regulations into the 21st century. The federal Safe Cosmetics Act, would give the FDA the authority to do its job of protecting the public. First introduced in 2010, the law would prohibit cancer-causing chemicals (like formaldehyde) from cosmetics, require full labeling of personal care products and set up a system to assess ingredient safety."
John Bailey, former FDA official and current spokesperson for the cosmetics industry was even surprised by the recent warning. As he told TIME magazine, he'd "never before seen OSHA issue a warning of this sort before the FDA had acted."
After reading this information, I've certainly wondered about the rest of the salon customers, simply getting a haircut, without a mask, a couple of chairs away...
