The Associated press reports-
SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a 62-year-old employee was cooked to death at a Southern California seafood plant for tuna maker Bumble Bee Foods.
The Whittier Daily News reports Jose Melena was found shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday at the plant in Santa Fe Springs.
Erika Monterroza is a spokeswoman for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. She says it’s unclear how the man ended up inside a cooking device called a "steamer machine."
The state agency has launched an investigation.

Roger Torre Represents! In Yellowstone
Hi Joey,
Just returned from a trip to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons with my brother (one of the pics) – the place is incredible – and just makes you respect the power of Mother Nature. Attached are just some of photos taken. There are pictures of bison, elk and a bear in their natural environment – along with landscapes and geysers and thermal pool – with a short video of a geyser. Hopefully you will post them on GMG

Oopsies!
Fred Bodin writes-
Oops! While moving the largest cylindrical section of the Wind Turbine tower, which was 90 feet long including the truck in front and the rig in the rear, they nearly got hung up leaving Cruiseport. The problem was a steel pylon (painted yellow). No problem for this crew however — they just took a torch to it and cut it down to the ground. The bushes went bye bye too.

Gloucester Health Dept: Hard-Freeze Confirmation Mosquito Borne Illness Threat Virtually Eliminated
According to the National Weather Service, all areas of Massachusetts (EXCEPT Suffolk
County and the Cape and Islands) and including Gloucester, experienced a hard frost/hard freeze
on Friday night, October 12-13. A copy of the map can be found at the following website:
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/images/hardFreezeWeb.jpg
While individual mosquitoes may have survived in isolated sheltered areas, the risk of mosquitoborne
illness should be virtually eliminated at this time in areas where the hard frost occurred.
Given the reduced risk of mosquito-borne illness, programs may resume scheduling
outdoor activities between the hours of 5 pm and 8 am. However, we advise that people
continue to take certain precautions when going outdoors. This includes applying insect repellant
and wearing clothing such as long sleeves, long pants and socks.
Please contact Max Schenk, Manager of Environmental Health Services at the Gloucester Health
Department, at 978-282-8025, or by email at mschenk@gloucester-ma.gov if you have any
further questions.

I stopped to investigate and met owner Karen King of" Scout Vintage Finds." She makes amazing hats from special imported felt and uses beautiful antique hat forms to shape the hats -all one of a kind. They are amazing.

Karen said that her shop is open Thursday – Monday. .. a must see shop! 186 East Main Street, Gloucester. 978-290-05533 Alice Gardner

Turbine Offloading From The Barge Complete- Pic From Fred Bodin
Fred writes-
One of the three wind turbine blades is lowered down onto the parking lot at Cruiseport Gloucester. By the time I finished my dinner at the Seaport Grill, they had all been moved and the Chem Caribe was cleared off. I was told that the barge had to leave tomorrow, because the dock was reserved for another vessel. So all that needs to be done at Cruiseport is haul the remaining cylindrical tower sections and the blades to the erection site in Blackburn Industrial Park.

Chickity Check It- “The incredible shrinking newspaper audience” from NEWSOSAUR Alan D. Mutter

The incredible shrinking newspaper audience
Once the definitive mass medium, newspapers – in both their print and digital incarnations – have shrunk to being niche players in the typical market, according to a number of must-read research reports released in the last few weeks.
With approximately a third of adults in the average community saying they use either a print or digital edition of their local paper to stay informed, newspapers today remain “super niches,” a term I heard for the first time a few years ago from Ron Mulder, who now works at Scarborough Research. But a distinct lack of interest in newspapers among those under the age of 50 suggests it is only a matter of time before the niche turns from “super” to “sliver.”
As detailed in a moment, a steadily accumulating body of research shows that consumers are using computers, mobile devices and even Facebook to shop actively for news and information. While the research shows that newspapers have slightly more market clout in small and isolated communities than in cities and suburbs, the trends all point in the same direction. Although publishers in small and medium markets have slightly more time to adapt to the digital revolution than their metro colleagues, the challenges causing the New Orleans Times-Picayune to abandon seven-day print publication will affect all but a few outlier markets in the fullness of time.
Here’s what we know from the wealth of research that has come our way:
