Banning Cantarini Special to Village News Culture is a funny thing. As it progresses through the motions of change and growth the new ideals and trends that sprout up can leave its inhabitants with two options: adapt or be left behind. And the reality is nobody wants to be left behind. They want to be integrated, trendy or "woke." What if you didn't have the option to stay relevant? What if you were born into a world that would never be accessible to you? It might be...

Elaine Kurtenbach AP Business Writer President Xi Jinping said Friday that Beijing wants to work for a trade deal with the United States but is not afraid to "fight back" to protect its own interests. Echoing the upbeat tone adopted by other Chinese officials in recent days, Xi told a visiting U.S. business delegation that China holds a "positive attitude" about the trade talks. "As we always said we don't want to start the trade war, but we are not afraid," Xi said. "When...
Where has the year gone? It seems like I was just being sworn into office and now it’s the holiday season. This is always a great time to reflect on the past year and a time to start looking ahead. I am grateful this Thanksgiving to have all of my children under our roof, even if it’s just for the day. It is one of the only times of the year we all get together, so we have a lot of catching up to do. We will talk about new jobs and maybe the football game on TV, but one thi...
Carla K. Johnson Associated Press The U.S. government is barring federal dollars meant for opioid addiction treatment to be used on medical marijuana. The move is aimed at states that allow marijuana for medical uses, particularly those letting patients with opioid addiction use pot as a treatment, Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz, whose federal agency doles out money to states for treatment programs, said. "There's zero evidence for that," McCance-Katz said. "We felt that it was...
Eric Tucker and Deb Riechmann Associated Press An FBI lawyer is suspected of altering a document related to surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser, a person familiar with the situation said Friday. President Donald Trump, who has long attacked as a "hoax" and a "witch hunt" the FBI's investigation into ties between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign, immediately touted news reports about the allegations to assert that the FBI had tried to "overthrow the...
Michael Balsamo Associated Press Attorney General William Barr said he initially had his own suspicions about financier Jeffrey Epstein's death while behind bars at one of the most secure jails in America but came to conclude that his suicide was the result of "a perfect storm of screw-ups." In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said his concerns were prompted by the numerous irregularities at the New York jail where Epstein was being held. But he said after the FBI...

Special to Village News It all starts with a food diary. You know that small, red Atkins Carb Counter? It is my bible. Starting out, everything that went in my mouth went in my diary. For months I noted every morsel of food whether it was a half a cup of peas or a tablespoon of fat free diet ranch dressing, an ounce of ham, 1/2 cup of green beans, a cup of lettuce greens, a teaspoon of jam or even a smear of butter – it all went in the food diary. At first, meat was weighed o...
More than 600 influenza cases have been reported in the region this season, nearly 2 1.2 times the number that had been reported at the same time last year, the county Health and Human Services Agency announced.

In comparison, 57 flu cases were reported during the same week last season for 247 cases total at the same time last year. “Given the numbers tha...
Wendy Hammarstrom Special to Village News In "Circles of Healing, The Complete Guide to Healing with Massage and Yoga for Practitioners, Caregivers, Students and Clients," I wrote about my work beginning in the mid-1970s. The status of healing arts has come a long way since then. In 1980 when I mentioned I taught yoga, more often than not people would laugh and say, "Oh, you mean yogurt." Today, yoga is everywhere. In the late 1970s my husband at the time, Steve Braff, and I c...
Maggie Stewart Special to Village News Thanksgiving photos often show a turkey, a cornucopia filled with fruits and vegetables, smiling faces around a table full of food. It speaks of tradition, history and a new addition to their story. It's a day where people do what they do every day. They make a meal; they eat. Sometimes they're alone, with family or possibly with friends. What makes Thanksgiving so special? It's a day when ordinary things become a public commemoration,...
If you’re in a work situation where you have a strong, positive relationship with that supervisor or boss above you, congratulations. While it does happen, it is not always the case for many people in their jobs. Good relationships with a supervisor require effort on the employee’s part, but it’s effort that pays dividends. Studies have shown that one of the most important things affecting someone’s job performance, stress levels and overall job satisfaction and happiness is the relationship they have with the person above t...
SACRAMENTO – With clogs and problems in California’s wastewater systems continuing to make headlines, INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry and the Responsible Flushing Alliance are raising awareness that many clogs in wastewater systems persist because items not labeled “flushable” are being flushed. These items include baby wipes, disinfecting wipes, hand and face wipes, feminine care products, washroom paper towels and other products not labeled as “flushable.” Forensic studies undertaken to find the ca...
A western harvest mouse collected in Escondido has tested positive for hantavirus and San Diego County officials are reminding people to never sweep or vacuum up after rodents if they find them in homes, garages, sheds and living spaces. The mouse was collected by County Vector Control surveillance in routine monitoring.

Lance Cpl. Melissa Ugalde U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton was established Sept. 25, 1942, along the Southern California coastline. Before then, Camp Pendleton's 125,000 acres of land was home to over 1,000 years of Native American culture and heritage. More than 10,000 years ago, California was inhabited by more than 300,000 natives, residing in more than 500 separate villages. Preserving this rich history and culture is important to...
The intersection of Old Highway 395 and Rainbow Glen Road has been placed on the San Diego County’s Traffic Signal Priority List. A 5-0 board of supervisors vote, Wednesday, Nov. 20, placed the intersection on the Traffic Signal Priority List. Normally priority points rather than the length of time an intersection has been on the list will determine the next intersection to be signalized once funding permits, but design readiness issues may allow a lower-ranked intersection to be signalized first as can grant funding for a s...
North County Fire Protection District officials again pushed back the timeline for when results may be available for the district's special election for Proposition A, Nov. 22.

Fire officials announced Nov. 1 that it was taking...
