Tylenol children’s and infant’s products recalled – Sep. 24, 2009

If you have children’s Tylenol stored in your preps, make sure you check the lot numbers.

Tylenol children’s and infant’s products recalled – Sep. 24, 2009

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The makers of Tylenol are recalling 21 children’s and infant’s Tylenol liquid products manufactured between April 2008 and June 2008 from warehouses and retail stores as a safeguard against potential contamination.

In a written statement, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Tylenol’s manufacturer, said it detected bacteria in an inactive ingredient. While that ingredient was not used in any packaged final products, it was produced at the same time as those products.

California Gun Bills upcoming….that need to be stopped. AB962 and SB585

I’ve dropped a short post on the forum here:http://thepreparednesspodcast.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=439, that goes into some details and gives some links for information on these two bills, AB962 (Ban on Internet Ammunition Sales) and SB585 (Ban on Cow Palace Gun Show).

If you live in California, and are a gun owner, future gun owner, or have any interest in personal freedom – please join us in fighting these two bills. Both of them have passed and are currently sitting on the Governor’s desk, waiting for either a signature or a veto. We need to get as many citizens as possible to contact Governor Schwarzenegger’s office and give him their thoughts (politely please…). We have a chance to stop both of these bills, if we can get enough support.

For those of you that aren’t in California, in a way I apologize for using this space for a state-specific post – but in another way everyone needs to know about this. As has been proven many times in the past, if one state gets away with something, other states usually follow. So this could be happening in your state in a year, five years, or……

Ten Bubbles in the Making: Tech Ticker, Yahoo! Finance

Here’s an interesting list about the top ten bubbles that are current in the making. I think the main thing to keep in mind is that a bubble only exists when a large amount of people “bandwagon” on something popular, with the belief that it can only keep going up. If you can recognize that, you should be able to avoid them.

Here’s the list, but read the article for a better understanding of why they deem it as a bubble (might not be what you think).

1. China bubble
2. Green bubble
3. Gold bubble
4. Federal Reserve bubble
5. Trash stock bubble
6. Education bubble
7. Subprime bubble, 2.0
8. Life insurance securitization bubble
9. Commercial real estate bubble
10. Emerging market bubble

Unemployment Jumps to 9.7 Percent – Political News – FOXNews.com

As typical, we can expect these numbers to increase for August after they have done a “better recounting.”

Unemployment Jumps to 9.7 Percent – Political News – FOXNews.com

The unemployment rate jumped almost half a point to 9.7 percent in August, the highest since 1983, reflecting a poor job market that will make it hard for the economy to begin a sustained recovery.

While the jobless rate rose more than expected, the economy shed a net total of 216,000 jobs
