Costco's meat tenderizing process
halted after E. coli tainted steaks
linked to Edmonton store

Edmonton Sun [Alberta, Canada], by Allison Salz Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 9/27/2012 4:04:09 PM Post Reply

A “tenderizing” steak process could be to blame after four people contracted E. coli earlier this month after eating steak from a north east Edmonton Costco store, says the province’s health super-board. Top health officials say they’re unsure if the bacteria was already on the fresh steaks when they were shipped from XL Foods Processing Plant, or if a meat tenderizing machine employed in all Costco locations is to blame. (Snip) Costco was cleaning the machine daily, he said, but health officials have ordered managers at Costco stores throughout the province to stop this particular tenderizing process, added Predy.

FORMER first brother ROGER CLINTON is in hot water – again as cops called after bloody slugfest in his home! The 56-year-old black sheep – who served 15 months in federal prison for dealing cocaine and landed in rehab in 2001 after a DUI arrest – is being accused of paying women to fight while he watched! In the bizarre case, a woman claims Clinton didn’t lift a finger to help her while another gal smacked her with a frying pan – because he likes to see girls beat each other up!

New York Wheel: World's largest
Ferris wheel proposed for NYC

Super-sized sodas may not be welcome in New York City, but if Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his way, America's biggest city may someday have the world's biggest Ferris wheel -- a 625-foot-tall behemoth capable of carrying 1,440 people per ride. Bloomberg announced plans for the giant ride, envisioned for the borough of Staten Island, on Thursday, further cementing his reputation as a mayor for whom size does matter. Earlier this month, he ushered through the nation's first law cracking down on sales of giant sugary sodas. Beginning in March, restaurants, delis and food concession stands won't be able

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has plenty of reasons to be worried -- and 8 million reasons not to be. Arpaio's re-election campaign issued a news release Wednesday saying the campaign has raised more than $8 million, adding, "over $1 million in the last three months alone." Arpaio has two opponents in the November election. His fifth term in office, during which Arpaio turned 80, has been his most controversial. And with Arpaio, that's saying something.He's taken justifiable heat for being the anti-immigration enforcer for now-disbarred former County Attorney Andrew Thomas, a man with whom Arpaio

Ann Coulter‘s Thursday morning appearance on The View was as uncomfortably tense as one likely would expect. While discussing her new book Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama, Coulter got into a heated tiff with all of the co-hosts (except conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck), with Whoopi Goldberg taking the most offense, demanding that the conservative columnist explain how much she actually knows “about being black.” As Coulter began to describe her thesis that “race-mongering has been very bad for America” and white “liberals use it to promote causes that have nothing to do with blacks and, in fact,

Gaza City, Gaza Strip - Hamas is launching a media boycott of Barcelona after reports the Spanish league leader gave a complimentary ticket for an upcoming match to an Israeli soldier formerly held captive by militants in the Gaza Strip. A Barcelona spokesman confirmed the team had given the ticket to Gilad Schalit, who was captured by Gaza militants in June 2006 and returned home last October under an Israel-Palestinian deal on prisoner exchange.

Canada? Really? Yes, the country with residents who supposedly leave their doors unlocked, the country with a murder rate a third of that of the U.S., the country with no Pam Gellar, no Tea Party, and no 2nd Amendment, is the what the Iranian government would consider "dangerous" for its citizens. Diplomats from Canada—officially the "world's most recommended country to visit"—recently walked out of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech at the U.N. General Assembly. On top of that, they also kicked Iranian diplomats out of the country and closed up Iran's Embassy.

New York - Prices for long-acting contraception will be halved for 27 million women in the developing world through a new partnership, former President Bill Clinton and other world leaders announced on Wednesday. The deal will help avoid almost 30 million unwanted pregnancies and save an estimated $250m in health costs, the partnership said.

Far East: Wars have started over less weighty issues than the sovereignty of islands in the East China Sea called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. They are barely rocks above water, but they sit atop valuable resources and are rapidly becoming a flash point as a rising power confronts one whose sun has set. These islands have become involved in a three-way tug of war between China, Taiwan and Japan with each sending fishing boats, even armed vessels, to the area. Private boats from

The U.S. Army Soldier in this video believed his unit was trapped by enemy fire, so the only solution was to draw the fire away from them. The kicker is that he had to become the target. When buddies—brothers—fellow soldiers in your unit are in danger, no action is too much, nothing goes without consideration, and in a flash you move. The description of the video, allegedly from the soldier himself, says he "got hit four times" as he made his way down the mountain.

Report: Federal agencies
behind in paying taxes

WASHINGTON — The IRS needs to take a closer look at the federal government in its search for tax scofflaws. That's right — a Treasury Department watchdog office said Thursday that 70 federal agencies owed about $14 million in unpaid taxes at the end of last year. (Snip) Cracking down on delinquents is complicated by IRS policies that do not allow enforcement actions against federal agencies and restrictions against penalizing or imposing interest on agencies that are behind in making their payments. Another problem is that federal law generally allows agencies to pay their current-year taxes only with current-year funds

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a dramatic speech to the United Nations, employed a simple diagram to hammer home his plea to the international community to set a "clear red line" over Iran's nuclear program -- warning that a nuclear-armed Iran would be tantamount to a nuclear-armed Al Qaeda. Netanyahu's address before the U.N. General Assembly amounted to an appeal to the U.S. and other nations to join Israel in drawing a line that Iran cannot cross without risking a military response. Netanyahu argued that nothing less than the "security of the world" is at stake.

WASHINGTON -- With college enrollment growing, student debt has stretched to a record number of U.S. households -- nearly 1 in 5 -- with the biggest burdens falling on the young and poor. The analysis by the Pew Research Center found that 22.4 million households, or 19 percent, had college debt in 2010. That is double the share in 1989, and up from 15 percent in 2007, just prior to the recession -- representing the biggest three-year increase in student debt in more than two decades. The increase was driven by higher tuition costs

Washington - Demand for U.S. durable goods other than transportation equipment unexpectedly dropped in August for a third consecutive month, signaling that slowdowns in business investment and exports will restrain the economic expansion. Orders for goods meant to last at least three years, excluding volatile demand for airplanes and automobiles, fell 1.6 percent last month after decreasing 1.3 percent in July, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. Total bookings plunged 13 percent, the most since January 2009, as demand for civilian aircraft plunged.

President Obama is not running on his record. He’s running like he’s not been in the Oval Office for the last four years and barely had anything to do with the nearly $6 trillion in new debt he’s racked up (a lie even the Washington Post had to give 4 Pinocchios). Even his cheerleaders in the media spend little to no time defending or championing his time in office; all they do is attack Mitt Romney.

Vaughn, N.M. - A drug-sniffing dog now is the only certified member of the police force in the small eastern New Mexico town of Vaughn. Police Chief Ernest “Chris” Armijo decided to step down Wednesday after news stories reported that he wasn’t allowed to carry a gun because of his criminal background. “He decided the attention was distracting,” said Dave Romero, an attorney for the town. State officials said Armijo couldn’t carry a gun since acknowledging that he owed tens of thousands of dollars in delinquent child support payments in Texas. Armijo also faces new felony charges after being accused

Voter assistance programs for the military – specifically targeted for improvement with $75 million after low military turnout in 2008 – have been left to languish by the Obama administration and the result may be depressed military turnout.

The situation is especially alarming for the Mitt Romney campaign, because polls have consistently shown that Romney’s support from military voters and their families exceeds that of Barack Obama’s support by double digits.

But the campaign is trying to avoid the legal pitfalls that snagged Sebelius the last time around when she was accused of making political statements in her official capacity. An Obama campaign spokesman told FoxNews.com that in New Hampshire, "she is attending in her personal capacity."

NASA's Rubber Ruler Scandal

It turns out that there is no way to reliably compare current global temperatures to historical data using NASA's database. It is a scientific scandal. I wrote recently about NASA changing its entire temperature record database, just from July to September. That is, in 2012, NASA changed temperatures going back to 1880. And it did that without telling anyone or explaining it. The net effect was to make the 130-year warming trend steeper, by lowering older (pre-1963) temperatures and slightly raising recent ones. (Snip) It is what all claims of global warming are based on. And about one third of
