Wash Your Bags — Or Else
San Francisco passed America's first ban on plastic bags in chain groceries and drugstores in 2007. In a research paper for the Institute for Law and Economics, law professors Jonathan Klick and Joshua Wright crunched state and federal data on emergency room admissions and food-borne illness deaths and figured that the San Francisco ban "led to an increase in infections immediately upon implementation."
They found a 46 percent rise in food-borne illness deaths. The bottom line: "Our results suggest that the San Francisco ban led to, conservatively, 5.4 annual additional deaths."
So is San Francisco's bag ban a killer? Conceivably, yes, but probably not.
Intuitively, the professors' findings make sense. The city's anti-bag laws are designed to drive consumers to reusable bags. Consumer advice types warn people about the dangers of said bags becoming germ incubators. I got this from TLC's website:
"Designate specific bags for meats and fish. Wash these bags regularly — preferably after each shopping trip — to get rid of bacteria. If your bag is fabric, toss it in the washing machine with jeans, and if it's a plastic material, let it soak in a basin filled with soapy water and either the juice of half a lemon or about a quarter cup of vinegar."
Ask your friends and family members how many of them regularly wash their reusable bags — ask how many folks ever have done any of the above steps — and you can intuit that a ban on plastic bags might not be the brightest idea.
San Francisco health officer Tomas Aragon reviewed Klick and Wright's paper and found "a biologically plausible hypothesis" but "sloppy" research. "It's a complicated topic. It's a little surprising that (they) would put this out there without a peer review," he added. If the professors had consulted with an epidemiologist, they would have understood how the city's unique demographics contribute to specific intestinal issues. (Unlike Aragon, I'm trying to be delicate here and not share too much information.)
In short, the doctor concluded that the study raised more questions than it answered.
Dave Heylen of the California Grocers Association ripped the study for not understanding something really basic about how the San Francisco bag ban worked at first. "People weren't using reusable bags," Heylen said. "They were using paper bags."
Be it noted, the grocers have supported proposals for a statewide ban on plastic bags — which would require supermarkets to charge for single-use bags — because they provide what the sponsor of Sacramento's latest effort, Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, calls "uniformity of experience" for shoppers and store owners. (It also means big stores can charge for bags and blame the government.)
For his part, Klick told me he cannot "rule out the possibility that there was something peculiar that happened in San Francisco." Maybe the cause isn't the bag ban. That's why there should be more studies that look into death rates and food-borne illness reports in the many communities — San Jose and San Mateo and Alameda counties, for example — that have passed bag laws since then-Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi introduced a bill to make San Francisco America's first city to ban plastic bags.
Mayor Ed Lee's office said the mayor will look into the health consequences of the city's now tougher bag laws if Aragon so recommends. That doesn't seem likely. Likewise, Levine didn't sound particularly concerned.
Maybe they should be. More than 60 California communities have bag bans, which means more Californians are using reusable bags. Most families probably aren't washing them. And that's not healthy.
California politicians didn't even bother studying the possible health effects of their anti-bag laws. They were in such a hurry to tell their constituents what's best for them that they forgot to check how their busybody scheme might go wrong.

The Salvation Army, with the help of dozens of volunteers, will host the 4th Annual Thanksgiving Eve Community Festival on Wednesday from 12-2 p.m. at 800 McCallie Ave. The Salvation Army will also be delivering meals to homebound neighbors on Thanksgiving Day.
The Cleveland Salvation Army will be feeding the public on Thanksgiving Day at The Salvation Army located at 437 Inman St. West from 12-2 p.m.
Last year 428 meals were served at The Thanksgiving Eve Festival and 1,087 were served on Thanksgiving Day between shelter residents, homebound deliveries in Chattanooga and guests at The Salvation Army in Cleveland. The Salvation Army expects the numbers to be close to the same as last year.
"We know people have been seriously affected by the economy over the past few years, yet we are grateful to those generous friends in our community who have provided faithful support for struggling families and individuals," says Major Al Newsome, area commander of The Salvation Army. "But unfortunately, the needs continue to present themselves, and the amount of public support is just not keeping up. We still have 2,432 Angels needing to be adopted and with the cold temperatures hitting so soon, folks are needing blankets, gloves and hats."
All are welcome to attend the Festival and the Thanksgiving Dinner. For more information about The Salvation Army's programs, to make a donation, or volunteer opportunities visit www.csarmy.org or call 756-1023.

OKLAHOMA Democrats at campaign watch parties had something to celebrate when Ohio went into President Obama's electoral column, effectively ending the suspense on election night. Then those Democrats returned home knowing that they'll continue ceding power to Republicans here.
Meantime, Republicans gathered for watch parties had much to celebrate Tuesday yet had to return home knowing that the biggest prize had eluded them. Obama will be in situ at the White House for another four years.
Partisans in both camps left the watch parties with mixed feelings, but Republicans had more to celebrate. What's been called the reddest of the red states turned from bright red to glow-in-the-dark red:
• For the first time in history, the Legislature, every statewide office and the entire congressional delegation is in the Republican camp. The state has had two of the three distinctions before but not all of them at once.
• Party registration continues a historic slide from Democratic dominance to a Republican majority. Within the next two years, the registration advantage may flip from blue to red.
• For the third straight presidential election, every single county in Oklahoma supported the Republican nominee. Obama got only 33 percent of the vote in Oklahoma, down by more than a percentage point from his abysmal 2008 showing. In both elections, Democrats had a party registration advantage; in both elections, many registered Democrats joined Republicans in rejecting Obama.
• Republican dominance of the Legislature, already pronounced, grew even stronger with Tuesday's results. The only consolation prize for Democrats is that intraparty squabbles among Republicans offer an opportunity for coalition building.
• Hope for Democrats in two years to regain some statewide offices and increase membership in the Legislature was potentially quashed by Obama's victory. Democratic candidates in 2014 can still be tied to Obama by Republican candidates bent on nationalizing the election. It worked in 2010.

Illinois tea maker grows own herbs & crafts special blends
By CINDY LADAGE
Illinois Correspondent
FAIRFIELD, Ill. — Ellen Wilson is a young woman with big dreams, many of which have already come true. Educated in the art and use of herbs, Wilson – who hails from Fairfield – started making her own herbal teas two years ago.
Set up at the Illinois Specialty Crops, Agritourism and Organic Conference in Springfield in January, she explained how Ellen's Herbal Teas began: "I started working with herbs when I was very young. When I was six or seven, I worked in the herb garden and developed a love for herbs."
Wilson is a Certified Health specialist and a Master Herbalist with a degree from the Trinity School of Natural Health. She is studying to become a Certified Nutritional Counselor.
The first tea she created was for medicinal purposes. Her teas have names that catch attention and share about the uses for which she created them. "The first tea I made was Scare Away Sore Throat; it has Echinacea and other herbs to boast the immune system. It is one of my best-selling teas," she explained.
"I have 14 blends, they are all organic. I grow herbs and others, I order from organic suppliers," Wilson said. Such suppliers are local, or from the western U.S. or Africa.
Speaking at health fairs she provides presentations about growing herbs, their uses and her teas. Her teas may be ordered through the mail and are sold in several shops.
One variety is If I Only Had A Brain, which she said includes ginseng, ginkgo and peppermint. "It helps lift the fog and (with) tired moments," Wilson said.
One of the important aspects she explained about using herbs and mixing a tea blend is how important it is to know what the herbs do. "You can't just blend them. It is very important to research. You need to watch for side effects, too," she added.
Wilson has a tea for flexibility and joint pain, as well as another blend she calls Sail Smoothly that gives an energy boost minus the caffeine that "has a calming energy, but kick-starts the day."
Calm My Tummy Tea has some unusual ingredients; Wilson said this includes a blend of anise and licorice that is good for calming stomach problems. Happy Ladies is a tea that helps women with mood swings.
Smiling, she said, "Men want to buy (this tea) by the barrel."
Healthy Bones tea uses herbs that are high in calcium: "For families that have a tendency for osteoporosis like mine, I like to drink this it is a preventative – it nurses the bones."
Wilson also has a blend of red teas that use red rooibos, a tea from Africa. These fit into her line because the she said the health benefits include easing of nagging headaches, insomnia, asthma, eczema, bone weakness, hypertension, allergy and aging. Red rooibos is free from caffeine and low in tannin.
Each package she sells has 20 individually wrapped tea bags and goes for $5. "Business has been very successful," Wilson observed.
This past year she became a board member of the Illinois Herb Assoc. "The highlight of the year was to work with them," she added.

Plug-in vehicle drivers may be associated with the oh-so-warm and fuzzy and peaceful green movement, but there's apparently some static being caused at offices with on-site vehicle chargers and the frustration that happens when all the chargers are in use. Enough so that someone coined a new phrase: "charge rage." To the rescue comes the largest maker of said chargers with a new set of solutions to try and keep the peace.
Anyone not satisfied with merely having a mortgage and a car payment, now you can have a payment plan on your plug-in vehicle charging station, too. Granted, this is more for business owners looking to provide publicly available charging stations, but ChargePoint (née Coulomb Technologies) is setting up a financing program for anyone looking to take the plunge.
One distributor of ChargePoint electric-vehicle charging stations is making an offer some owners of Ecotality's Blink stations may not be able to refuse. National Car Charging will offer dual-port Blink station owners a $2,200 trade-in credit for ChargePoint's new CT400 station and a $1,200 trade-in credit for single-port Blink station owners, according to the website Dontblinknow.biz. ChargePoint was formerly known as Coulomb Technologies and started selling the CT400 this summer, which feature
Electric-vehicle charging-station maker ChargePoint continues to edge its way closer to the gas-station model with its debut of the CT4000 model, which the company says can serve multiple vehicles working off of a single circuit. ChargePoint, formerly known as Coulomb Technologies, says its new product can supply electricity to more vehicles and is cheaper to install than previous units.
Advanced charging infrastructure in Portland, Ore. allows electric vehicle drivers to go further, faster
Like patrons at the end of a long night, automakers and charging companies can sometimes be seen leaving the bar arm in arm. Coda with Mr. Electric. Holden with Better Place. Nissan with GE. Smart USA with Coulomb. Toyota with Leviton. BMW with AeroVironment.
Coulomb Technologies' big news at EVS26 was a collaboration with Fuji Electric Corporation of America to add Fuji's 25-kW DC Quick Charging Stations into the ChargePoint Network. In fact, the very first such charger on the network was sitting there in the booth, and actual deployment in the U.S. is scheduled for later this year. Coulomb is already neck-deep in actual deployments of electric vehicle charging stations: more that 6,300 non-residential stations are online now and Coulomb says that a
Coulomb Technologies, which in 2010 set out to install 4,500 electric-vehicle charging stations throughout 10 U.S. regions as part of a U.S. Department of Energy Department (DOE) plan, has shipped more than 2,400 public and commercial stations and is finalizing the installation of the commercial stations earmarked by the DOE in its ChargePoint America program.
Ready to take your all-electric car on a road trip? If you're headed along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, 2013 might just be your year. The plan is to install EV charging stations in all 17 of the service plazas along the highway by June 30 of that year. Each plaza will get one Level 2 charging stations and two DC fast chargers, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Kevin Sunday told Essential Public Radio. The first stations will be put in in the spring of 2012.
Plug-in vehicle charging stations are still a bit of a rarity here in the United States and, while 400 additional chargers won't make for a nation that's blanketed with the technology, we'll certainly take all the charging points we can get.
With a population of around 14,000, Mill Valley, CA is too big to be called a one-horse town. The real question is whether it will become a two-EV charging station town.
Residents of Florida now have even more incentive to ditch their gasoline-burning vehicles in favor of an electric automobile. In the past year, Florida has become a plug-in vehicle hot spot. Well, sort of. There's a chicken and egg issue going on.
Despite the fact that BMW selected AeroVironment (AV) as its "preferred provider" of electric vehicle charging equipment, accessories and installation services for its Active E, the German automaker has teamed with Coulomb Technologies, not AV, to jointly announce that "drivers of the forthcoming BMW Active E all-electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the expansion of the ChargePoint Network into the Boston Metro."
Showcased during the Plug-in 2011 Conference, Coulomb Technologies has revealed two of its latest additions to its ChargePoint networked charging station lineup. Both chargers – dual-port Level 2 models based on Coulomb's CT2020 – provide two 7.2-kilowatt ports and have been specifically designed for the North American market. With the CT2025, charging is delivered via two standard SAE J1772 connectors attached to self-retracting cords. The CT2021 (pictured) makes due without the win
At the Plug-In 2011 Conference in Raleigh, NC, last week, Coulomb Technologies announced it will partner with TomTom to provide tools to help EV drivers locate charging stations. Some manufacturers have built brand-specific charging point location into the navigation systems included on their vehicles and the Coulomb solution will spot stations that are part of their own ChargePoint Network.
According to the latest Pike Pulse report, two electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) companies stand out among the competition in strategy and execution: Coulomb Technologies and Ecotality, with one above the other.
In honor of Earth Day 2011, Coulomb Technologies has announced that it will send free ChargePass cards to plug-in vehicle owners through the end of April 2011, waving the usual sign-up fee. According to Coulomb, by creating a ChargePass account and activating the free card, plug-in vehicle drivers will have access to the world's largest network of charging stations.
Chevrolet dealerships across the nation will begin installing Coulomb Technologies' Level II ChargePoint charging stations. This move is aimed at providing a means for buyers of the 2011 Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid that is shipping from General Motors' Detroit-Hamtrack assembly plant, to charge up their rides while out and about.

Choosing an open-source CMS, part 3: Why we use WordPress
In this last installment of our three-part series on finding the best open-source content management system (CMS) for your needs, we asked two organizations -- online magazine Quartz.com and Carleton University -- to talk about why they chose WordPress over other open-source options and how well that decision has stood the test of time.
WordPress got its start as a blogging platform in May 2003 and gradually evolved, first into a blogging system that let users add Web pages outside of the blog and then into a full-featured, popular CMS. Of the three most popular open-source CMSs -- WordPress, Joomla and Drupal -- WordPress is both the most popular and the fastest growing by far, according to Web technology tracker W3Techs.
"Drupal has long provided a flexible platform, enabling it to meet a broad set of needs. However, WordPress 3.0 significantly bridged the flexibility gap," says Larry Cannell, an analyst with Gartner.

SpaceX Landing Video Cleanup Making Progress 54
from the from-worse-to-bad dept.
Follow Slashdot blog updates by subscribing to our blog RSS feed
They will shortly, there was a planned launch last month but it has been pushed back for various reasons. http://www.space.com/25822-spa... [space.com]
The fact they have this thing vertical at well below terminal velocity and apparently not spinning means the rest is just details. Controlling it down from supersonic is the hard part. They have made many successful landings with grasshopper from a vertical, low speed non spinning state.
I would *love* to see a summary of the types of problems the video stream has, and the techniques used to recover them. Anyone feel like sorting through the ~70 pages of thread and cataloging them?
Well considering HOW they actually got the video, I guess it's not too shabby. Here's a quote from Musk from the recent Dragon v2 unveiling:
"As far as the soft landing of the boost phase, it was interesting, when we got the corrupted video back, because we really actually had a real difficult time getting the telemetry. In fact, I'll tell you a funny thing. We actually had to - because normally we get the bulk of the telemetry from a boat. We also have a backup, an AP3 that was going to go up, and the P3 got iced up, the boats couldn't go out, so I sent my plane up with my pilots, and... we had to design and fabricate an antenna that exactly fit in the window of the plane. We started off with a pizza dish and we were able to do a double loop antenna with a pizza dish and point it out the window to get the link."
The story we heard from SpaceX is that due to the weather, they couldn't get a boat out in the 15-foot seas, and the NASA chase plane they usually use wasn't available, so they went up in Elon's private jet equipped with an antenna jerry-rigged from a pizza pan stuck in the window. Maybe next time they'll use a Pringles can instead.
One of the mpeg experts was lamenting the encoding - there was no error correction enabled in the MPEG encoding, and the images were interlaced from an NTSC 29.97 down to a 15-fps feed into the encoder, and interlacing crushes the compression ratio, I gather. They've been informed of this, so hopefully the next launch will see some rock-solid quality video.
Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.

LAHS also has a construction career class with similar types of modules. This was also offered in a different fashion at Alta Vista HS. I've volunteered in the construction class last year - found it rather interesting. (complements to MVLA District Assoc. Sup. Brigitte Sarraf for pushing this kind of "hands-on" learning)
These can be fine academic classes! My nephew at Acalanes HS (high performing Lafayette, US #263, LAHS = #404) took "auto shop". My sister advised him to enroll against the advice of the HS counselors. It became part of his essay that got him into UC Berkeley, where he graduated in the top part of his class in Civil Engineering.
hands-on technical careers are just fine for some young people, $80,000 high-end auto tech (with a decade or more experience)

A little sentient material to spice up a fantasy setting
Lightning steel is a miraculous metal formed from an alloy of iron, carbon, silver and pure captured lightning.
A mineral responsible for refrigeration, arctic landscapes, and hot springs across the world.
Part of my series on pseudo-magical world building
Not all armor is created the same, some is made from sterner stuff, others, not so much.
A thankfully rare mineral that burn's one skin as if the Devil himself had spit on you
Myths and misunderstandings swirl around this mysterious metal
"Beware those gems that adventurers try to sell you. Before you know, they turn to fools' gems"
Few things shine as bright as the jewels of Hell
"Ve'laan rust!" - Sailor slang, meaning "nonsense"
A metal with unique properties, ve'laan is prized by seafaring folk and admired by jewelers.
The Essence of Light, mined from the body of a fallen Star-Child.
Different types of fabrics in a fantasy setting
A type of silk woven from tree saps
A material similar in texture to normal silk, but woven from strands of ice
A type of silk given by a special type of larvae, much finer than conventional silk. Gowns woven from Moonsilk are not more alluring but can also give off musical sounds as breezes rustle over them.
The Writer glimpsed it in his journeys through the various hells, but he paid no heed to it. His tale was about the afterlife and the punishments therein, not the arms and armor of the Darkness.
A magical Salt, a dangerous bane against ice and snow…
Crystals have long be heralded as recepticals of magic power. Ice too, is a crystal.
A metal with the properties of ordinary gold, which has the properties of pure silver when covered with water.
A rare and diseased jewel, a canker fallen from the heavens
"What does this marveous ointment do you ask? It's easily worth the 50 gold an ounce I'm selling it to you for my friend, I can promise you that. ... You still want to know what it does? Well, it ... it sorta ... and then it ... Here! Just try a sample here and see!"
Maybe in the future, you can earn money by allowing yourself to be possessed by the genius loci of Taco Bell. And then it just spews ads out of your mouth during all the times you aren't using it.

The Ford Falcon GT is an automobile which was produced by Ford Australia
from 1967 to 1976 and 2003 to the present day with intermittent limited
edition anniversary models offered in between. Since 2003 the car has been
marketed as the FPV GT but FPV continue to release anniversary editions
commemorating the release of the original 1967 model. The Falcon GT is
inextricably linked with the history of Australian muscle car production
and with the evolution of Australian domestic motor racing.
The GT was introduced as a performance variant of the Australian Ford
Falcon XR series in 1967. GT variants were also offered in: 1968 XT, 1969
XW, 1971 XY, 1972 XA, 1973 XB models. HO (Handling Options) variants
released with XW and XY model ranges, further modified for performance and
were essentially homologation specials for motor racing. A XA version of
the HO was abandoned in the early stage of development due to public
pressure in 1972 after an infamous newspaper campaign.
After a rest of sixteen years the GT badge was revived for a 25th
anniversary edition of the 1992 EB series Falcon with a 30th anniversary
version offered in 1997 on the EL Falcon. From 2003 the GT badge was
inherited by Ford Australia's performance tuning arm, Ford Performance
Vehicles and the FPV GT has been offered continuously since 2003 on the BA,
BF (2006) and FG (2008) model ranges.
The 1967 XR series was a major shift in the evolution of the Falcon, then
still being adapted from its American counterpart for Australian release.
The car was noticeably larger compared to the XP model range. For the first
time Ford Australia offered a V8 engine on the range, the 289-cubic-inch
engine then in use on the Ford Mustang. As part of the introduction
a new high-performance version, the GT was introduced, based around the
success of GT versions of the Ford Cortina. The GT Falcon would be marketed
in exactly the same way as the GT Cortinas with the competition arm of Ford
Australia preparing production racing cars to race at the Bathurst 500. The
factory racing team, led by veteran driver/engineer Harry Firth entered two
cars, one for himself and Fred Gibson and the other for the Geoghegan
brothers, Ian and Leo. After a day long battle against three Alfa Romeos at
Bathurst in 1967, the team emerged with a 1--2 team victory which captured
the public imagination and sales figures soared. The move forced General
Motors-Holden's and Chrysler Australia to respond with their own
performance editions of their large sedan in 1968 when neither had such
vehicles planned, beginning the era of the Australian muscle car.
Over the next five years each of the three manufacturers produced faster and faster variants. Engine capacity increased,
first to 302 cubic inches displaced, then finally 351 c.i.d. Ford
introduced the HO (handling options) package in the 1969 XW model range,
essentially producing road registerable racing cars for the leading
production touring car teams to exploit. these homolgation specials reached
their zenith with the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III in 1971, a car which Allan
Moffat used to smash all opposition in the 1971 Bathurst enduro and would
remain the fastest four-door production saloon in the world until the
introduction of the Lotus Carlton 19 years later.
A fear campaign against the homolgation specials started with headlines of
"160 MPH Street Cars soon!" led to Ford dropping production with the
planned Falcon GT HO Phase IV. For their own part, touring car racing
regulations were altered, creating the 1973 Group C regulations, which
allowed production cars to be modified for racing independently of the road
going cars, reducing pressure on manufacturers to put racing modifications
into the road cars.
A Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III was the most expensive Australian vehicle sold
at auction selling for $A750.000. A previous sale had been for $A683,650.
In 1971 a Phase III won the Bathurst 500 driven by Allan Moffat.

Kansas Child Deaths Lowest On Record
A new report shows the number of child fatalities in Kansas in 2011 was the lowest on record. Those records date back to 1992, when the Child Death Review Board was established.
The annual report from the review board says 391 children died in Kansas in 2011. Of those deaths, 230 were due to natural causes. Almost two-thirds involved babies who died in their first month of life, most of those deaths were due to premature birth and congenital conditions.
Overall, the infant mortality rate—the number of babies who die before their first birthday—was down to 5.9 deaths for every 1,000 live births.
The lowest number on record of children dying in car crashes was also recorded in 2011. There were 78 deaths due to unintentional injury—33 of those in motor vehicle wrecks. Almost half of those killed were not properly using their seat belts.

Britney Spears is heading back to MTV's "Video Music Awards," Access Hollywood has confirmed.
The pop singer, who made headlines last year after a rough performance of "Gimme More" opened the show, filmed a cameo for the 2008 "VMA" promos, Tuesday in Los Angeles.
According to E! News columnist Marc Malkin, Spears recorded the promo at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, the same locale the "VMAs" will broadcast from this year.
Spears appears in the spot with "VMA" host, British comedian and co-star of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," Russell Brand.
"It was mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show," a source told Malkin. "There's also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in 'the elephant in the room.'"
It was unclear at press time if Spears will perform on the September 7 show.

NEW YORK -- Winnipeg has been targeted by the NHL for an outdoor game and could host a Heritage Classic as early as 2016.
True North chairman Mark Chipman confirmed to the Free Press on Saturday they have been in negotiations with the NHL and they are hopeful an announcement can be made as early as the end of March.
An NHL source says the league is hoping to make a number of outdoor game announcements in the near future and the aim is play a Heritage Classic in Canada in 2014 and 2016.
Vancouver's B.C. Place is the likely destination for 2014 and talks are underway to secure a game for Winnipeg in 2016.
An outdoor game in Winnipeg would be played in early March at the new football stadium, Investors Group Field.
The NHL had originally wanted to bring an outdoor game to Winnipeg next year to be played shortly after the Winter Olympics but delays at the new stadium have pushed that date back.
The NHL wants the stadium to host a number of events and to have any kinks worked out before it brings the focus of a global audience on Winnipeg.
The stadium will have a football capacity north of 33,000 and temporary seating for 7,000 or so will be erected in the south endzone.
The NHL prefers seating for more than 40,000 for its outdoor games.
Next winter will see the Winter Classic played at the University of Michigan between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs.
The league has sold more than 100,000 tickets for the game. Canada has played host to two Heritage Classics, the first in Edmonton in 2003 and second in Calgary in 2011.
The Blue Bombers, main tenant at the stadium, had no comment on Saturday.
