An eye-popping story regarding melamine found in baby formula -- in the US!
"The FDA's test results, which the agency hid from the public and only released after the Associated Press filed a Freedom of Information Act request.

Happy Monday to you all!

Portland is partying like a mutha right now and it's time to pop the bubbly good stuff! We did it folks, the youngsters came out in force today and well, the rest is history. When the clock struck eight tonight, Obama was officially crowned, and our neighborhood erupted in jubilation -- man, I love this city.
The realization of this historic night started to sink in a little after president elect scrolled across the t.v screen, and really, I was just a teary eyed mess after that.
