		<description><![CDATA[There’s something funny in the water. Well, actually, it’s in the beer. And, really, it’s more potentially blindness-inducing than funny. Skyrocketing copper prices have resulted in various forms of black-market activity around the city. This mostly means the theft and resale of copper components ripped from abandoned or newly built homes, including a devastating hit on Phase IV of the Walden Cliffs subdivision. But the scallawags have hit another sector, and it’s having a direct effect on Joe Six-Pack. Beer kegs, which are traditionally lined with copper, are being stolen from distributors or rented from party stores and not returned. The copper pirates sell their booty to various buyers all over town: Carrie’s Dicker-and-Deal, Ye Olde Trash Heape, and Copper &#38; Copper among them. This has led, in just a few months, to a severe citywide keg shortage, according to the City Taverns and Spirits Merchants Association (CTSMA). Popular watering holes like the Cracker Box, Captain Mortimer’s, and The Parrot &#38; the Palm have been forced to offer only bottled or canned brews, leading to grumpy patrons and overworked bar backs.

		<description><![CDATA[As a public service to our readers, we offer the following news item: The City Department of Health Services has announced the discovery of several cases of food contamination in the area. The culprit appears to be a microbe, a potentially fatal large, gram-negative bacillus with features consistent with the botulinum toxin-producing Clostridium genus which has contaminated a number of jars of baby food manufactured locally by Healthy Infant Organic Foods, Ltd. Healthy Infant has issued an immediate recall of jars with lot numbers 00001 through 07659 manufactured between November 2006 and April 2007. This accounts for over 50,000 containers sold under the brand names Tummy Hugs®, Bright Future® and Mommy’s Sweet Angel®. Any such jars matching this description should be returned to Healthy Foods ASAP for immediate incineration. Do not, repeat, DO NOT attempt to open the jars without wearing at least Class IV respiratory protective equipment. Consumption of contents is also not advised.
