You may not want to nibble on your Nestle raw cookie dough. Nestle is recalling its refrigerated Toll House Cookie Dough after the Centers for Disease Control investigation showed "a strong association" between eating raw refrigerated cookie dough made by Nestle and the E. coli illnesses of 65 people in 29 states since March.
Nestles has temporarily stopped making the refrigerated dough products while the FDA investigates their Danville, Virginia factory where all the recalled items are made.

Fox News reporting that Iran's Revolutionary guard threatens to ‘crush’ any further opposition protests. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Moussavi is calling for more demonstrations but cautioning political protesters to use “self control”. Iran's election authority is rejecting claims of voting irregularities in the presidential election, while acknowledging the number of ballots cast in some cities exceeded the number of eligible voters. Iranian authorities have arrested over 400 people during violent post-election protesters. More than 17 people have died in the unrest. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,528047,00.html

A respiratory therapist who may have exposed 33 babies to the H1N1 virus at Women's Hospital in Greensboro has tested positive for the virus. The therapist probably contracted the virus while treating another patient who tested positive for the virus last week. So far, none of the infants have shown any ‘flu-like’ symptoms and are being treated with Tamiflu.
BTW: Officials at the UNC-G confirmed that a second student at the school had also tested positive for the virus late last week. http://www.wxii12.com/health/19799942/detail.html
