| Counter Intelligence: The Nortons heading back to Red Wing
Five years after leaving the Staghead in Red Wing, Minn., to jump out on their own, Greg and Sarah Norton are returning to their roots. Sort of. In 2003, the couple bought the former Lavender Rose and turned the off-the-beaten-path location -- about 5 miles east of downtown Red Wing -- into The Nortons' (W7171 135th St., Bay City, Wis.). Now, if all goes as planned, the Nortons will be re-creating their charming restaurant in downtown Red Wing, taking over a former 1950s-era JC Penney store on the city's Main Street, just around the corner from their former employer. "It's 99 percent sure," said Greg Norton. "We've got a lot of paperwork ahead of us." The restaurant will include a lounge and an off-sale wine shop, and lunch and dinner will be served six days a week.
Bus Owner says Driver Suffered From a Blood Clot Before Accident
BALDWIN--The owner of a bus that veered off Interstate 94 last week and plowed into a snow-covered ditch says the 39-year-old bus driver suffered from a blood clot. Dave Ebertowski, the owner of Turco Travel in Minneapolis, says Curtis Prindiville came very close to passing out and was able to steer the bus but not apply the brakes. Ebertowski says his driver did a miraculous job in reacting to his sudden medical problem. The Wisconsin State Patrol says Prindiville was driving for Tourco's Northern Tours of Eau Claire when the crash happened near Baldwin last Thursday. Ebertowski says the bus, with 49 passengers, was a charter from Minneapolis to Chicago. Some passengers suffered minor injuries.

What's the best way to improve developing world health?
Ensure two square meals a day," suggests Mushtaque Chowdhury, director of the research and evaluation commission of the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee. "I believe for the poorest food is the most effective first intervention for health improvement." Ugandan television reporter Rosebell Kagumire suggests educating women is key. "An educated woman will know what a child needs to eat for nutritional purposes, and their income level is mostly higher than that of illiterate mothers," he says. Others are more political, calling for free trade to enhance household incomes in poor countries or even outright revolution to bring in governments with greater commitment to uplifting the poor. Liberian health minister Walter Gwenigale says he knows what would make a real difference in his country -- and it is the one thing Western donors will not fund.

Something besides contract negotiations
He gets a 2 year deal at a reasonable price, $2.5m and if he can prove he can stay healthy and focused for a couple seasons, then payday, here he comes. Good to hear about Enstrom, I was worried about him. He's starting to get knocked around too much. We need 2 pts in Buffablow tonight. Custance/Hossa for John Niyo/Filppula and a 1st (hey, Custance is a heck of a NHL beat guy, fellas, they owe us the 1st as well) .
