| Hold Onto Your Daughters, John Mayer Is Roaming LA
John Mayer showed off that excellent bone structure of his stopping to sign a few autographs leaving dinner in LA last night. Mr. Mayer has been getting quite a lot of attention (especially from the ladies) these days and while we all know he's looking for The One, he's also sick of all the love. Over the weekend he supposedly left a party saying, "People keep coming up to me and touching me and telling me I'm so cute ... I'm over this!" Awww, John doesn't love random groping? Poor baby, but you can't blame the ladies for not being able to keep their paws off him, right? .

Council to consider mandatory garbage, recycling service
The Eureka City Council can take another step Tuesday toward making universal curbside garbage and recycling collection a way of life. Special Projects Manager Gary Bird will ask the council to authorize city staff to bring back a universal curbside collection ordinance intended to assist the city in meeting state waste diversion mandates, and in reducing the amount of illegal dumping within city limits. The roots of the ordinance go back 18 years, to when California passed the Integrated Waste Management Act, which required cities and the state to cut their total garbage production in half by the year 2000. California Integrated Waste Management Board Chair Margo Reid Brown announced last September that California exceeded those goals, diverting 52 percent of its waste away from landfills -- a sizable accomplishment considering 90 percent of the state's waste ended up in landfills as recently as 1990, according to the waste management board.

Alycia Lane goes free
NEW YORK - Former CBS3 anchor Alycia Lane moved a step toward vindication in a five-minute hearing this morning in criminal court here. Lane, 35, no longer faces a felony assault charge, filed Dec. 16 after a middle-of-the-night encounter with police on a Manhattan street. Lane, out of work since Jan. 1, now faces less serious counts of obstruction of governmental administration and harassment. Both will be dismissed in six months if Lane stays out of trouble, Judge Dina Douglas said. Lane will carry neither a guilty plea nor a conviction on her record. Prosecutor Mike Greenman said the felony charge was dropped because the scratches to the plainclothes police officer were not serious enough to support the charge. Lane also agreed to one day's community service, which she has already performed.
Weekend preview: Elite teams flock to weekend tournaments
Since 2004, Houston's Minute Maid Park has been the center of the college baseball universe in February. The Houston College Classic (formerly the Minute Maid Classic) has earned a reputation as the unofficial kickoff event to the college baseball season, attracting bunches of elite teams and scores of scouts and scouting directors eager to get an early look at some of the nation's top talent. This year's Houston College Classic figures to be another strong event -- you can expect fireworks anytime rivals and perennial national powers Rice and Texas get together, and unranked teams like Tennessee and Oklahoma have intriguing young talent -- but it's no longer a can't-miss stop on the college baseball calendar. The Feb. 22 uniform start date has created a proliferation of early-season tournaments from coast to coast.

Dollar closes weaker as credit concerns resurface
THE dollar closed weaker today as offshore influences conspired to boost risk aversion, sending investors scrambling for safe haven assets. At 5pm AEDT, the Australian dollar was trading at $US0.8856/59, down from yesterday's close of 0.8999/01. During the day the dollar traded between a low of $US0.8818 and a high of 0.8881. The dollar traded in a choppy fashion through most of the local session, ending the day close to its opening price of $US0.8856/61. Westpac currency strategist Jonathan Cavenagh said the unit had been hammered in the latest bout of risk aversion and that further short-term weakness was likely. He said the slide in risk appetite - also evident in a sell-off in Asian and local equity markets, and a rally in safe-haven bonds, was prompted by ongoing concerns over conditions in credit markets.
Young Peregrine Falcons Spread Their Wings. Six Peregrines Currently ...
(CSRwire) Belle and Stewart, the peregrine falcons raising their young atop Washington Mutual Tower, once again have an empty nest. All four of their offspring have now "fledged" and left the nest to learn to fend for themselves. Belle and Stewart, named after two downtown Seattle streets, have been nesting and raising their young atop the 55-story high-rise since 1995. Belle and Stewart's success in raising all four of their offspring to the fledgling stage is unmatched in their mating history, and rare among all falcons. Disease and injury takes the lives of many young falcons soon after birth. The natural survival rate for newborn falcons, or "eyasses," is one in three. Since March, Seattleites have watched Belle and Stewart successfully hatch and raise the young falcons via a color television monitor in Washington Mutual's Tower Financial Center.
