Both Bernice and Maria focus on Dr. Gallon's September mesage. Bernice also reflects on the state of the news media -- prayers to St. Francis de Sales (and perhaps St. Jude) are welcomed. Maria also shares her 'Obama experience'. Olddoc catches us up on Muhlenberg and the Medical Enterprise Zone matter, among other interesting items. Over at PEPtalk, Renata has a 3-part series on Knowledge Transfer you won't want to miss. Plainfield Sports News brings us up to date with a Girls Soccer report. Assemblyman Green reminds Democrats that the season's campaign HQ on East Front Street opens Thursday, 6 PM. Councilor Burney, who was an Obama delegate to the Dem Convention, reports back -- and outlines Obama volunteer opportunities.
