NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Contraceptive pregnancy drug company Pfizer announced last Wednesday the nationwide recall of Brand Lo/Ovral-28 tablets used by women to supplement the prevention of pregnancy. The Pfizer press release states that “some packages of the oral contraceptive may contain the incorrect amount of active-ingredient tablets and the tablets in the packages may be out of sequence.“
Typically, there are 21 white and seven pink birth control pills in a single lot that are systematically ordered in a specific sequence. Packaging the pills in the wrong order can eliminate the effects of the contraceptive and increase the likelihood of pregnancy.

New Brunswick, N.J. -- The last two weeks of the semester are upon Rutgers University and stress relieving events are in full swing.
The “De-stress At The Zone” program took place on Dec. 13 at the RutgersZone on Livingston campus and provided activities for stressed-out students including coloring, jewelry making, Play-Doh sculpting, and free five minute massages.
The event, sponsored by Rutgers Student Life, Rutgers Health Services, Health Outreach, Promotion, and Education (H.O.P.E.) and Student Volunteer Council, was a way for students to learn healthy methods of stress management and to unwind before finals started.

Snow is tough to come by for East Coast winter resorts
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Early December usually means opening day for Mountain Creek, a small winter resort situated in the mountains of northern New Jersey. But with warm weather this year, the resort has had difficult times making snow.
Mountain Creek markets itself as the closest resort to New York City, a short 47 miles. But the 167 skiable acres the mountain has to offer remains mostly absent of snow.
Despite the abnormal temperatures that make blowing snow a challenge, the resort has been trying everything it can to get mountain ready before the holidays.

ROSELLE PARK, N.J.—At least 435 people were killed by flash floods Saturday, when a typhoon ripped through two southern coastal cities in the Philippines, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Tropical Strom Washi decimated the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro, dropping an extraordinary month’s worth of rain within 12 hours, causing rivers to overflow and carry hundreds out to sea, according to the Los Angeles Times.
