Special report What's wrong with our food?
Food agency takes on industry over junk labels
TV ads to counter multimillion pound campaign by manufacturers

The Guardian
Consumers are to be presented with two rival new year advertising
campaigns as the Food Standards Agency goes public in its battle with
the industry over the labelling of unhealthy foods.
The Guardian has learned that the FSA will launch a series of
10-second television adverts in January telling shoppers how to follow
a red, amber and green traffic light labelling system on the front of
food packs, which is designed to tackle Britain's obesity epidemic.

Lawyer falls to death at hotel
Seaside: Police suspect Paul Sanford committed suicide
By JULIA REYNOLDS
Herald Staff Writer
In what police describe as a "probable" suicide leap, a prominent
Monterey Bay Area attorney fell at least nine floors to his death at
the Embassy Suites Hotel Monterey Bay in Seaside the morning before
Christmas.
Shortly before 9:30 a.m. Sunday, officers found the body of Aptos
attorney Paul Sanford in the west end of the hotel lobby, where he had
landed on a large ventilation grate.
Police Capt. Steve Cercone said horrified guests were eating breakfast
in the atrium at the time, and a number of witnesses saw Sanford fall
from somewhere between the 9th and 12th floors.
"I'm at a loss for words," said Sanford's friend and business
associate, Monterey attorney Shawn Mills. "Paul really had his fingers
in a lot of different pies. He was from the East Coast, and I used to
call him our 'West Coast Kennedy.'"

How do you know they're legal residents? Hospitals and doctors
don't ask what your citizenship is - or whether you have a green card!

Mexicans can be "legal residents" just like Canadians can be.
