A recent article in the Calgary Herald explains researchers believe that eating is the new "drug of choice." Areas of the brain stimulated by food can lead to an addiction to eating. The availability of many cheap, high calorie foods makes eating easy and appealing, but these foods can be harmful to people's health. These same researchers believe that weight problems can begin very early in childhood, and must be combated.

After eight months of a bitter first contract fight, the strike by about 90 workers at the Calgary Herald went down to ignominious defeat late last week. The strikers lost the fight for a union contract and now have the choice between a cash buyout or an uncertain future at the Herald with virtually no protections.

According to the Calgary *Herald*, 23 Mar 2004, the Student Union Review Board on 22 Mar 2004 ordered a complete new election. There is apparently a higher level of appeal within the Students' Union, so the story may not be entirely over. The *Herald* story did not add any details not already known about the flaws in the online voting software. Excerpts from Chris Beachamp, Online voting glitches?, "The Gauntlet", the student newspaper of the University of Calgary, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 18 Mar 2004, regarding potential flaws in the online voting system used in this year's Students' Union General Election (PGN-ed): Sorex Software Inc. ``discovered an issue that allows for the possibility for the system to mix up one voter for another.'' The system slowed down due to the larger than normal ballot size and "significantly larger HTML data'' in the ballot code, which was too large for the word processor software! ``The slow down may have caused some voters to leave their voting stations before their ballot was complete. This could have allowed another voter to [log in] and complete the first voter's ballot.'' Because of the anonymity, it was impossible to trace how often this problem might have occurred.
