Excerpt:
Back at the lab, they discover it was an American bullet and friendly fire that wounded Abby in action, not Taliban insurgents as reported. Lt. Col. Beard Force says the Army always owns up to its friendly fire accidents and Jane snarks back, “Tell that to Pat Tillman’s family.” And, another boyfriend bites the dust. Nice work, ladies. To celebrate, Maura invades Jane’s personal space while she’s on a phone call. I have a feeling being in each other’s personal bubbles is how a lot of things get celebrated between those two.




Bottled water contains disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and pain medication

The bottled water industry promotes an image of purity, but comprehensive testing by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reveals a surprising array of chemical contaminants in every bottled water brand analyzed, including toxic byproducts of chlorination in Walmart’s Sam’s Choice and Giant Supermarket's Acadia brands, at levels no different than routinely found in tap water. Several Sam's Choice samples purchased in California exceeded legal limits for bottled water contaminants in that state. Cancer-causing contaminants in bottled water purchased in 5 states (North Carolina, California, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland) and the District of Columbia substantially exceeded the voluntary standards established by the bottled water industry.
Unlike tap water, where consumers are provided with test results every year, the bottled water industry is not required to disclose the results of any contaminant testing that it conducts. Instead, the industry hides behind the claim that bottled water is held to the same safety standards as tap water. But with promotional campaigns saturated with images of mountain springs, and prices 1,900 times the price of tap water, consumers are clearly led to believe that they are buying a product that has been purified to a level beyond the water that comes out of the garden hose.

Environmental Working Groups Finds Contaminants in 10 Bottled Water Brands Tested

The $12 Billion bottled water industry is reeling this morning after the publication of an Environmental Working Group research paper that showed contamination in every one of the ten brands of bottled water purchased at various locations.
Two of the brands were identified as exceeding the legal limits allowed in California, and all the brands featured some kind of contaminents, though eight of the brands weren’t identified. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization with offices in Oakland, tested 10 brands of bottled water and found that Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Choice contained chemical levels that exceeded legal limits in California and the voluntary standards adopted by the
industry.
The tests discovered an average of eight contaminants in each brand. Four brands besides Wal-Mart’s also were contaminated with bacteria.
The Environmental Working Group’s press release pretty much lays it out for today’s bottled water drinker:
