We fly alot. My Purell always garnered extra scrutiny. In fact, I even had it confiscated several times. My solution? I now soak some baby wipes with Purell and carry them with us in a zip lock bag. (a little tip for germ paranoid frequent flyers, like me)

Approximately three hundred and thirty six (336) cartons of cantaloupes were distributed in New York City and Boston between November 1 and November 4, 2006 no product was sold internationally. This cantaloupe was distributed for sale in 1-1/9 bushel cartons with 12 cantaloupes to a carton, under the Lucia label. The cantaloupes are straw-colored on the exterior, with orange flesh.

Farmer’s Best and Agroproductos San Rafael are working together with the FDA to investigate and identify the source of the problem.

The recall was a result of a routine sampling program by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration on October 31, 2006.

"Philippine Forces Score Victory Against RSM"
by Nick Grace
(December 6, 2006)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Philippines has scored a major victory in the second front of the long war with the capture of Feliciano de los Reyes, aka Ustadz Abubakar, a key member of the Rajah Solaiman Movement (RSM) in Lamitan on Basilan island. De los Reyes is believed to be singing to the authorities and has revealed in detail, according to local press reports, RSM's ties with al Qaeda's Philippines syndicate Abu Sayyaf.
While its strength is estimated at approximately 30 members, the RSM is of special interest to Manila because it consists of Catholic converts to Salafism who are better able to penetrate and infiltrate non-Muslim regions of the Philippines, including Luzon, without giving away a southern accent or ethnic appearance. The group extends the capabilities of Abu Sayyaf for large-scale terror operations outside and beyond Jolo, Sulu and Mindanao islands. Together with Abu Sayyaf, in fact, the RSM was responsible for the simultaneous 2004 Valentine’s Day bombing attacks that killed 100 people - the world's worst maritime terror attack in recent years."

"Lebanese Daily: The Opposition's Street Actions are a Syrian-Iranian Coup"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In its December 1, 2006 editorial, the Lebanese daily Al-Mustaqbal, which is affiliated with the March 14 Forces, warned that the street actions organized by the Hizbullah-led Lebanese opposition are actually a coup that is being carried out on Syrian and Iranian orders. The daily pointed to the similarity between the situation in Lebanon and the situation in the Palestinian territories, stating that the resemblance arises from Syria's and Iran's involvement in both.
The following are excerpts from the editorial:"
Great idea RR! Who would have thought just a few years ago you would have needed to be so resourseful, to keep germs at bay. After reading the Hot Zone (Ebola) a few years ago, the one thing that I have never forgotten is the descriptions of the spread of an outbreak in airplane cabins! Like a big shiney flying petri dish with windows!
