A Michigan candy company is recalling some of its sugar-free peanut butter fudge because an ingredient used to make it is associated with a recall linked to 35 salmonella illnesses in 19 states.
State officials say in a release Monday that Kilwins Quality Confections, Inc., of Petoskey, is recalling all 7-ounce packages of the peanut butter fudge sold in its retail stores between Oct. 1, 2011 and last Friday.
The packages bear the bar code 000648. No illnesses have been reported in connection with Kilwins' product.
The Food and Drug Administration says it has found salmonella at a Sunland, Inc., plant in New Mexico. The plant produces nut butters for national retailer Trader Joe's and several other grocery chains. The Trader Joe's peanut butter is linked to the salmonella illnesses.

A former Dougherty County jailer was in court Friday, preparing for his death penalty murder trial.
It's been nearly five years since Allen Robinson, Junior was charged with killing his girlfriend, but it could be another year before his trial begins. Because Robinson could face the death penalty for Roshonda Dowell's murder, preparing for the trial has been a long and complicated legal process, to guarantee he gets a fair trial.
Robinson sat quietly at a table with his lawyers during the hearing, taking notes. The Georgia Capital Defender for his case filed 112 motions to iron out procedures for his upcoming murder trial and the judge, prosecutor, and defense attorneys will discuss each one, to make sure all his rights are preserved during his trial.
"When a defendant's life is at stake, a court must be particularly sensitive to ensure that every safeguard is observed," said Office of the Georgia Capital Defender H. Burton Baker.
Prosecutors say in November 2008 Robinson chased down Roshonda Dowell in the parking lot of an East Albany grocery store, and stabbed her to death as horrified witnesses looked on. The motions today dealt with issues from the clothes Robinson will wear during trial, to security in transport and in the courtroom.
Because Robinson was a jailer, his knowledge and experience with those security procedures and training is another issue that had long debate. "It demands that kind of particular attention, and so the state is committed to follow through appropriately. And no matter how much time it takes we are going to do what is necessary," said District Attorney Greg Edwards.
Both prosecutors and defense attorneys said there is still a lot to do before this murder trial begins. "I'm thinking that it may come to a jury trial sometime about the middle of next year. Possibly a little later than in the middle of next year," Defense Attorney Bill Murray said.
A long and costly legal process because it's a death penalty case, but prosecutors say Roshonda Dowell's murder demands it. "We believe every citizen is worth the expenditure that is needed to make sure that justice is brought in a case," Edwards said.
These hearings on the 112 defense motions will continue over the next few months. Robinson and Dowell lived together for 8 years, and had three children. Defense attorneys and prosecutors say if Robinson is convicted, that will set in motion an automatic string of appeals that will last several more years.
Robinson has been held in the Dougherty County jail, where he once worked, since November 2008.

It's Derby Time
The horses don't get all the glory. We set up our own White Wine Derby. Entries had to be under $15. The two favorites were both 100% Chardonnay. The difference was that entry Sparkle Plenty had bubbles in the Chardonnay. Its rival, Oakey Dokey, had no bubbles but very nice oak. We had four tasters for each quarter mile of the one-mile race. The winner will be our Wine of the Day.
They're Off!
After the first quarter mile—Oakey Dokey has a one length lead over Sparkle Plenty. The four tasters liked Oakey's complexity created by the fact that the Chardonnay grapes came from four northern California regions, the Napa Valley, the Russian River, Sierra Foothills and Dunnigan Hills (northwest of Sacramento).
After a half mile—Sparkle Plenty draws even.
With 1/4 mile left—Sparkle has taken a one-length lead. During the first half of the race, the tasters were the ladies. Now the men have taken over and they are showing a preference for bubbles in their Chardonnay.
The Winnah—Sparkle Plenty wins by three lengths. The male palates chose the bubbles.
Second Place Ain't Bad
We normally don't reveal the names of the losers in our tastings, but Oakey Dokey is such an easy-drinking, affordable Chardonnay we must tell you it is...
'98 Louis M. Martini Chardonnay, $10.50
Now, on to our winner. Sparkle Plenty is...
Our Wine of the Day
Korbel Chardonnay Champagne, $13
When the three Korbel brothers left Prague in 1850 for San Francisco, they knew how to make locks, guns and cigars. They did not plan to make wine. But with land at 35 cents an acre, they bought some 6,000 acres and soon were vintners.
A century after the Korbels boarded that clipper ship for America, the Heck family bought Korbel. Today, President Gary Heck, (pictured), of the next generation is as creative as the founders, lifting annual sales to the 1.2 million case level.

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells (published 1897) is another fascinating science fiction look at the implications of a changing world of acceptance. The titular character in this story, Griffin, is an albino who had once studied medicine. Tired of being marginalized for his strange appearance, he undergoes medical experiments, ultimately succeeding in creating a formula for invisibility. He hopes that by being invisible, he can blend in with his environment, get back at those who have marginalized him, and seek power and glory by gaining access previously denied him. (more…)

From Helmet 2 Helmet:
The NFL's most blusterous coach, Rex Ryan, has been conspicuously silent since the Jets' brutal season ended. Wholesale changes to the organization are underway, with GM Mike Tannenbaum already receiving a pink slip and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano waiting for his walking papers.
Ryan, whose job is reportedly safe, has yet to hold a season-ending press conference, a league-mandated requirement for teams that failed to make the postseason. The media, growing restless, has conducted a 'Where's Waldo?' search for Gang Green's head man.
They need not look further.
Quoting a tipster who wrote into the site, Deadspin passes along word — and visual proof -- of Rex on vacation with his wife in the Bahamas.
Says the tipster:
My parents (we're all jets fans) were apparently on the same flight as him out of Newark Airport this a.m. and saw him and his wife in the baggage area waiting for bags in the Bahamas. People went up and said hi to them and he confirmed he was Rex. He was wearing a Jets/Titans throwback coat.
My parents are staying at The Cove Atlantis. After they got their bags, there was a car waiting outside from that hotel. My dad asked if they were there to pick him up and driver responded "Are you Mr. Ryan?"
Considering the Daily News reported Wednesday that Ryan flew out of New Jersey on a "trip of a personal nature," this would be appear to be legit. Shortly after the News published that story, the Jets announced that Ryan and owner Woody Johnson will conduct the elusive press conference next Tuesday, Jan. 8. Coincidence?
Ryan isn't expected to be back in town until then, but it's good to know we can call off the APB — for now.
His vacation was during the season.

J. Adamson
Narcissism and envy are two primary psychological forces that determine human behaviour. Narcissism affects a person's sense of self; envy affects his relations with others. Shakespeare seems to have anticipated the recent emergence of psychoanalytic theories about how these forces affect the masculine self. This thesis will investigate how the ideas of René Girard and Heinz Kohut coincide with issues raised by Shakespeare, in Troilus and Cressida.
According to Girard, many characters in the play are driven by 'mimetic desires' created by 'mediators'. Troilus's desire for Cressida is mediated by Pandarus; Ajax's desire to fight Hector is mediated by Ulysses. Yet these characters also display aggressive behaviour symptomatic of the 'narcissistic personality disorder', described by Kohut. Many warriors experience their environment and other people narcissistically; that is, they expect total control over these. When their narcissistic expectations are thwarted, they compensate for inward self-doubts with outward aggression and rage. Shakespeare's Trojan War is largely fuelled by man's fear of being cuckolded, "gored with Menelaus' horn" (l,i.108). Men insult, attack and cuckold rivals in 'preventive attacks', to avoid being victimized themselves.
The Trojan War can thus be seen as the culmination of many individuals' mediated envies combined with preventive attacks and narcissistic rage; behaviour symptomatic of insecurity, not moral depravity. Kohut's theory of archaic narcissism provides the deep psychic foundation on which to build Girard's behavioral model of mimetic rivalry, to create a more comprehensive model for the psychoanaiytic criticism of Shakespeare's plays.

LANSING (WKZO) -- MIRS News agency is reporting that Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway has informed the court she will be stepping down effective January 21st. Hathaway has been the subject of an FBI probe surrounding the issue of a short sale on a home.
A suit was filed in federal court in November alleging that Hathaway and her husband Michael Kingsley shuffled around some of their assets in order to move through a short sale on a home in Grosse Pointe Park. That short sale eliminated 600,000-dollars in mortgage debt for the two.

Side effects of targeted therapy are somewhat different for everyone. They also vary based on which drug you receive. Ask your oncologist or chemotherapy nurse for more details about possible side effects. Tell your doctor or nurse about any changes or side effects you notice as they can suggest things to make you feel better. In most cases, you'll stop having side effects within a few weeks after your treatment ends. Below is a list of some of the possible side effects:
Acnelike skin changes. Treatment can't prevent these skin changes, but there are some ways to make them less bothersome.
Allergic reactions. If you have a reaction, it will likely be temporary and treatable. Your doctor will decide if you can continue to receive this type of medication.
High blood pressure. Your doctor can treat this with antihypertensive medications.
Increased chance of blood clotting with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Your doctor will monitor you for this side effect. Tell your doctor right away if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness or weakness, or if you feel dizzy or faint.
Increased chance of an opening occurring in the stomach or intestine called gastrointestinal perforation. Report right away any new pain, constipation, or vomiting you have.
Increased chance for healing delay in surgical wounds. If you notice that you have any wounds that are not healing well, you should let your doctor or nurse know.
Increased chance of bleeding inside the body. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you cough up blood or notice blood in stools or urine, or bleeding from the nose or gums.
Less energy (fatigue). This occurs during and for a while after treatment.
Liver damage. Your doctor may check your blood during treatment for signs of this. Tell your doctor if you notice a yellow color in the whites of your eyes or your skin.
Spilling of protein in the urine (a sign of kidney damage). Your doctor will check a urine sample before and during your treatment to see if there is too much protein in it.

Kessler, Jackie
Adult Fiction KESSLER
Summary: Jesse Harris may no longer be a soul-stealing succubus, but she's got a Hell of a past. She'd love to come clean to her sweet, super-hot boyfriend Paul, but how exactly does a girl start that conversation? Just like some people are worth being monogamous for (shudder), some secrets are worth keeping. Like the fact that bad boy incubus Daunuan keeps popping up from the Underworld to put some toe-curling moves on her, and that her former associates are trying to strong-arm her back into the fold. But someone in the Underworld isn't ready to play nice (go figure), and this time, the stakes are nothing less than Paul's immortal soul.Praise for Jackie Kessler's Hell's Belles:'Had me hooked from the first sentence...I'll be reading this one again and again.' -MaryJanice Davidson, author of Undead and Unpopular

GCX™ Series
Advanced air-purifier technology.
The GCX™ is designed to lead the air cleaning industry.
Designed for full-spectrum protection
Particles, gases, odors, chemicals – under control.
320-degree exhaust
Most air cleaners return filtered air into the environment through a small, noisy outlet that makes it difficult to even communicate. The IQAir GCX Series was designed with a 320-degree EvenFlow Diffuser to supply more air in more directions without drafts or noise. Other systems create annoying air drafts and restrict the ability of a system to produce fresh, clean air that can fill the room. The IQAir GCX Series EvenFlow Diffuser boosts system efficiency by evenly returning cleaned air through a large 320-degree outlet. The wide dispersion pattern allows the GCX Series to produce an elevated air delivery rate with very little noise.
Designed for full-spectrum protection
IQAir GCX Series air purifiers are designed to clean the full spectrum of airborne pollutants with the very best filtration technology available at each stage of filtration. Air is drawn into the GCX Series air purifier through the bottom of the system by a powerful New Edition IQAir fan. Then the air pulled into the system is sequentially cleaned in a step-by-step process that delivers clean, healthy air. IQAir's unique no-leakage design prevents air from escaping back into the room without being drawn first through the GCX Series filters. The multiple filtration stages include:
- Micro- and nano-particle filtration: The first stage of filtration features a powerful H11 HyperHEPA® pre-filter that eliminates micro- and nano-particles such as allergens, smoke, bacteria, and viruses.
- Cartridge-based activated carbon adsorption (Except ChemiSorber model): Eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are responsible for odors.
- Cartridge-based chemisorption (MultiGas and ChemiSorber models): Destroys harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, by an oxidation process inside chemically active alumina pellets.
- Micro-charged filtration: Post-filter sleeves eliminate activated carbon and chemisorption abrasion particles through a charged fiber structure.
100% Healthy technology
IQAir's HyperHEPA filtration technology is the safest, healthiest and most effective way to clean the air. The GCX Series particle filters work together to remove more than 99% of all airborne particles (0.3 microns and larger) without using unsafe or unproven technologies such as ozone generation, ionization or ultraviolet radiation. The micro-charged post-filters in the GCX Series systems eliminate any particles that might be released from the gas, odor and chemical filtration stage. Why risk your health on air cleaner gimmicks when IQAir's unique design offers proven protection without harmful byproducts?
The quietest high-performance air purifiers
IQAir GCX Series air purifiers produce an average of 32% less sound across all fan speeds compared to previous generations, without sacrificing filter life or system efficiency. The result is clean, healthy air without disrupting the environment with noise. IQAir's "fan-in-center" design places the fan motor between sound-attenuating filters. The double-walled housing effectively reduces sound transmission. Rubber suspension pads systematically isolate motor vibration from the air cleaner housing. The EvenFlow Diffuser deflects sounds back into the system while returning low turbulence and low velocity air to the room. The result is an air purifier quiet enough for any commercial environment.
Swiss quality
Swiss Made is more than just a label of origin. It is a sign of outstanding quality, uniqueness, superior design, innovation, precision and reliability. In an industry in which most air cleaners don't meet manufacturers' claims, IQAir tests and certifies each and every IQAir air purification system. All manufacturing is done in IQAir's own state-of-the-art Swiss production facility on the pristine shores of the Lake of Constance. By using the highest quality components, a dedicated team of highly skilled and extensively trained craftsmen and women, and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes refined over 50 years, IQAir is able to build the finest air purifiers in the world. That's how serious we are about quality.
Easy filter replacement
All GCX Series air purifiers feature IQAir's revolutionary modular tower design that snaps open to allow access to all of the system filters in a matter of seconds. By simply releasing the locking arms and sliding the filters out of the frame, almost anyone in the office can replace any of the GCX Series filters in moments without special tools or complicated processes. Color-coded lights on the control panel also make it easy to know when each of the filters needs replacing.
Energy efficient
Even though IQAir GCX Series air purifiers offer maximum-level power, they cost very little to operate. In fact, the GCX Series air purifiers consume no more power than a conventional light bulb. At the very heart of these air purifiers is the ultra-efficient centrifugal, high performance IQAir New Edition fan and its maintenance-free motor. This mechanical powerhouse delivers up to 780 cubic feet of air per minute (without filters) while requiring as little as 27 watts of power at the lowest speed and up to a maximum of 215 watts at the highest speed. As a result, it costs only pennies per day to run the most advanced and effective air purifiers in the world.

This is how the MLS season goes: It's freezing when it starts, and if you last long enough, it gets freezing again. So even though many layers of clothing are required to be appropriately clad for a playoff game at RFK Stadium, the weather is a brisk reminder that D.C. United has postseason relevance again for the first time in a long time.
Despite the short notice after the switch on Wednesday, Lot 8 is brimming with folks and there's a lot of attention on tonight's match, with District Mayor Vincent Gray and MLS commissioner Don Garber among those expected to attend.
There have also been developments for the second leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals, too. MLS, working with D.C. United and the Red Bulls, is providing buses and tickets (first-come, first-serve) for United supporters who want to travel to New Jersey on Wednesday.
As for on the field, given that he'd returned to training, it comes as no surprise that Dwayne De Rosario was upgraded to questionable on the MLS injury report released late Friday. Just as interesting for D.C. is Daniel Woolard and Lewis Neal are both probable, further adding to the players available for United coach Ben Olsen. Neal is the most likely of that group to make the 18-man roster for tonight's match.
Keep in mind, if United advances, it will have to play three matches in eight days, as the conference finals begin next weekend. Depth may yet prove to be crucial to how the playoffs unfold.
As for the New York side of the report, Tim Cahill (left calf) is questionable and Brandon Barklage (left foot plantar fasciitis), who scored twice against his former team back in June, is out.
You may have read my preview from Friday's print edition, but here are a few other great quotes from this week:
*Dejan Jakovic on preparing for the New York attack: "The biggest concern is that they do a lot of interchanging with their players, as in [Thierry] Henry comes back into the midfield, and then Dax [McCarty] and Cahill go up top and make runs in behind. So we've got to be careful with that. Communication is going to have to be really important, communicating with the midfielders, whether there's a switch. They've got some good players, but we've faced them already. We know what we're going to have to do. Obviously, we have to keep a close eye on Henry at all times. He can change the game in a second. It's a good test for us."
*Perry Kitchen on his former teammate, McCarty: "He's a guy that's definitely great in possession. He works in their system very well, and they're a team that has a lot of numbers in the midfield, especially the center of the park. It's going to be crowded in there. We're going to have to do well dealing with it, whether we're having our wide guys come in, our backs stepping up. We've discussed it a lot this week so I think we're ready for it."
*Brandon McDonald on the feel of the playoffs, especially for United's inexperienced group: "When it comes playoff time, it's animals on the field. I'm trying to instill that in the guys here. Look man, playoffs is pretty soccer. It's who is going to bite their teeth the hardest and have the most grit on the pitch. For us, we've got a fairly young team, but they've got to grow up quick."
*Olsen on Bill Hamid's form: "He's been coming up with big saves, but he's also been steady. That's what you want from your goalkeeper. Yeah, of course you want the big save and the spectacular save, but you really just want him to be steady and make the saves he can and do his job back there. He's been good on both fronts."
*Olsen on the comparison of sides: "They've got more World Cup games than I think we have playoff games. It's a great group. They put together a star studded lineup, and they're playing very well right now. Guys like Henry are playing at their tops. He's playing better than I've ever seen him play in America. We got a big job ahead of us, no question. But I like our team. We've got a good group., and sometimes that gets you through and gets you past teams that have great individuals. That's what this is about right now…We have a huge challenge, but we've had a huge challenge for a while. I think people will continue to doubt us, and we'll continue to try to do what we can to spoil teams' nights."

Youth sports can teach children so much about teamwork, leadership, perseverance and overcoming obstacles, but sometimes kids also get injured. We got a doctor's advice on staying safe.
No surprise football is the sport that has the greatest number of injuries in a Safe Kids Worldwide study, and the knee is one of the most vulnerable body parts.
"Football players when they're sprinting down ten yards and going to go and pivot, the knee can sometimes come out of place," said Dr. James Bicos, an orthopedic surgeon with Beaumont Health System.
He is the doctor for the U.S. men's and women's Olympic gymnastic teams. He has seen many injuries with many youth sports.
It is important for parents and coaches to know if everyone follows some simple guidelines, you can prevent a lot of aches and pains.
"The first thing is not to increase their routines too quickly. Go for the ten percent rule. Don't go more than ten percent per week or you have a higher risk of injury. The second thing is make sure to warm up and cool down. Don't forget the cool down. That's extremely important," Bicos recommended. "Eat a nutritious diet. Stay away from caffeinated beverages, and the other thing is get rest because your body needs rest to recover."
Let's reiterate one point. For athletes of any age at any skill level, Bicos said you cannot get away with skipping the warm up or the cool down. Those are critical to your body.
"Warming up brings blood flow to the muscles, and it actually activates your nervous system, so it kind of gets your body ready for the sporting activity, which is important. Cool down just as important because it helps to get rid of the swelling, helps to lengthen some of the muscles, and a lot of the times you can use it for a mental cool down and to review what you did," Bicos explained.
Safe Kids Worldwide does offer up some really good resources on its website -- www.safekids.org -- when it comes to keeping children of all ages safe.
