Researchers in Israel from the rights group witnessed hours of artillery bombardments that sent trails of burning smoke indicating white phosphorus over the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza. But they could not confirm ipju ries on the ground because they have been barred from entering the territory. The chief doctor at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza said he treated several victims there with serious burns that might have Peanut butter contaminated COLUMBUS, Ohio An Ohio distributor says it has recalled two brands of its peanut butter after an open container tested positive for salmonella bacteria. King Nut Companies said in a statement that it asked customers to stop distributing all pea nut butter under its King Nut and Parnell’s Pride brands with a lot code that begins with the numeral “8.” The peanut butter was distributed through food service providers in Ohio, Michigan, North Dakota, Minnesota, Arizona, Idaho, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Florida. It was not sold directly to consumers. Preliminary laboratory testing found salmonella bacteria in a 5-pound container of King Nut creamy peanut butter, the Minnesota Department of Health said Friday. The Minnesota tests had not linked it to the type of salmonella in the outbreak that has sick- WEDNESDAY 1/14 3 FOOT SWAGGER w/ Elijah - ONLY $5! doors @ 9 The Daily Puzzle 2 3 4 Hp 6 7 e ■■sT - " 10 12 13 _ H- Hit 'Sr" 20 21 |HH22 23 30 32 33 34 36 rHH4O 41 4 8 ' 49 56 57 58 84 ujes m ■■77 |H rßr _ S jH-- 1/12/09 Rigid, medical devices Small press site Longest sen tence?

He said, however, that he did not have the resources or exper tise to say with certainty what caused the injuries. The substance can cause seri ous bums if it touches the skin and can spark fires on the ground, the rights group said in a written statement calling on Israel not to use it in crowded areas of Gaza, Military spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovich refused to com ment directly on whether Israel was using phosphorus, but said the army was “using its munitions in accordance with international law.” Israel used white phosphorus in its 34-day war with Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006. Associated Press NATION ened almost 400 people in 42 states, but the department said addi tional results are expect ed early next week. King Nut’s president, Martin Kanan, said Sunday that the recall involved approximately 1,000 cases of peanut butter. He said he did not know the names of the company’s customers. “We don’t know exact ly where they sell to,” Kanan said. “They could sell cross-state, too.” The CDC said Friday that 399 cases had been confirmed nationally, with about one in five of victims hospitalized. California has reported the most cases, with 55, followed by Ohio with 53. All the illnesses began between Sept. 3 and Dec. 29, but most of the peo ple grew sick after Oct. 1.

Budget cuts may hinder infrastructure demands ATLANTA Show us the money. That’ll be the refrain when Georgia’s Legislature returns to Atlanta on Monday and lawmakers will grapple with a massive bud get shortfall that will color nearly every decision that’s made under the Gold Dome. Gov. Sonny Perdue already has ordered most state agencies to slash their budgets by 8 percent. State workers have been fur loughed. Fees at public col leges are rising. Health ben efits for the poor are being scaled back. And the cuts could go deeper if the economy con tinues to worsen. Tumbling state revenues have ripped a deficit in the budget that’s expected to top $2 billion for the current fiscal year. At the same time, Georgia is wrestling with costly infra structure needs to keep up with booming growth in metro Atlanta. Roadways are clogged with traffic. Additional reservoirs are STATE needed to quench the region’s fast-growing thirst. “It’s going to be a painful session,” predicted Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle. The first salvo in the bud get battle will come Wednesday• when Perdue unveils his spending plan. He’s pledged to include an aggressive bond package to kick start the state’s econo my by borrowing to fund road projects and school construction. Legislators will be able to tinker with how the money is spent. They won’t be able to change the amount the state may spend. The gover nor has the sole authority to set that figure and the state is constitutionally prohibit ed from running a deficit. “It’s going to be a legisla tive session of making cuts where it hurts the least,” said state Sen. Don Thomas, a Dalton Republican. Associated Press
