	Trains will run Tuesday as talks continue OAKLAND -- A BART shutdown for Tuesday morning was averted after both sides agreed to keep talking into the wee hours.Federal mediator George Cohen made the announcement around 1 a.m. and said both sides had made "substantial progress" but declined to elaborate. It was unclear whether another strike would be threatened for Wednesday or later."We apologize (that) the Bay Area continues to have to wait until the middle of the night to find out if union leadership will allow the trains to run each morning," BART said in a statement early Tuesday. "We hope we can get this situation resolved quickly so the uncertainty can come to an end."At 5:35 a.m., Cohen announced both sid...
	Ancient 'Strip Mall' Unearthed In Greece Along the scenic coast of the northern Aegean Sea, archaeologists have uncovered a Greek portico, which, 2,500 years ago, would have been a bustling public space, something like an ancient strip mall. The seaside portico, or stoa, stretches 130 feet (40 meters) across with seven rooms inside, each bearing the distinct architectural touches of their ancient shop owners, the site's excavators say. Strewn about the ruins, archaeologists found coins, vases and other artifacts that hold clues to when and how people lived in the archaic city. "Porticos are well known from the Hellenistic period, from the third to first century B.C., but earlier examples are extremely rare," archaeo...

	October dedicated to vegetarian awareness BENNINGTON -- October, sometimes known as the month that kicks off hunting season, is also dedicated to vegetarian awareness. While hunters have been feeding their families with deer and other red meat for centuries, vegetarian practices were officially celebrated by the North American Vegetarian Society beginning in 1977. The dietary practice is intended as a positive way to introduce alternative food choices and improve overall health and well-being. The busy season for many local restaurants, October can be a good time to try new hearty vegetable soups and sandwiches as well as locally grown produce. Vegetarian-friendly menu items are available at most restaurants.
	15 Years Later, Where Did All The Cigarette Money Go? Fifteen years after tobacco companies agreed to pay billions of dollars in fines in what is still the largest civil litigation settlement in U.S. history, it's unclear how state governments are using much of that money. So far tobacco companies have paid more than $100 billion to state governments as part of the 25-year, $246 billion settlement. Among many state governments receiving money, Orange County, Calif., is an outlier. Voters mandated that 80 percent of money from tobacco companies be spent on smoking-related programs, like a cessation class taught in the basement of Anaheim Regional Medical Center. "So go ahead and take a minute or two to write down reaso...
