Grape-Nuts cereal, the supermarket mainstay that is made of neither grapes nor nuts, beloved by some and hated by others, has become hard to find.
Supply-chain constraints and higher demand for the cereal amid the pandemic have led to shortages of the product, Kristin DeRock, Grape-Nuts brand manager for the cereal company Post Consumer Brands, said in a statement on Friday.
“Grape-Nuts is made using a proprietary technology and a production process that isn’t easily replicated, which has made it more difficult to shift production to meet demand during this time,” she said, without elaborating on that technology or process. She said that the company was working “to get Grape-Nuts fully back on store shelves, which we expect to be this spring.”
The problems appear to date back to last year. The company responded to a customer on Facebook last fall explaining that another variety of cereal, Grape-Nuts Flakes, “may be out of stock for a while due to adjustments in our production schedules to ensure the items in highest demand are available.” The company added that it expected that flakes would be available again in October.
Grape-Nuts, Supermarket Mainstay, Is No Longer So Easy to Find

Columbia students go on tuition strike, saying online classes aren’t worth full price.
Over 1,100 undergraduate and graduate students at Columbia University have pledged to withhold their tuition for the spring semester to demand a discount for what they see as a lost spring term.
While some universities have brought students back to campus, Columbia has mostly offered online instruction for students and allowed only a sliver of them to live on campus or attend in-person classes.
In response, students are asking the university to reduce their total costs — including tuition, fees, and room and board — by at least 10 percent, following suit of several schools including Georgetown University, Princeton University and Williams College. Columbia College, the university’s undergraduate school, can cost more than $80,000 a year for students not receiving financial aid.
Strike organizers said that both graduate and undergraduate students were participating; the university has more than 31,000 students.
“It’s a reasonable demand,” said Matthew Gamero, 19, a sophomore who is one of the strike organizers. “This is about the university providing an education of its worth, and to have it online is certainly not what we’re paying for.”
“This is a moment when an active reappraisal of the status quo is understandable, and we expect nothing less from our students,” the university said in a statement. “Their voices are heard by Columbia’s leadership, and their views on strengthening the University are welcomed.”
A tuition discount is only one of a series of demands made by strikers. They have also called on the university to reduce funding for campus policing, improve working conditions for graduate students and provide aid for the surrounding West Harlem community.
The tuition strike was officially kicked off after the spring term bill was due last Friday. For undergraduates, the university could impose a $150 late fee and prevent them from registering for summer or fall classes. The university could also penalize seniors by withholding their diplomas until their balance is paid.

By Stephen Betts January 29, 2021
SPRUCE HEAD — A 31-year-old Rockland man has been charged with making a false distress call late last year that resulted in a large search effort and drew condemnation from the Coast Guard for coming shortly after a fishing boat out of Portland was lost at sea claiming the lives of four fishermen.
A criminal complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Portland charges Nathan Libby with communicating a false distress call on Dec. 3. He is scheduled to make his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Portland on Monday. Libby faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of the crime.
Court documents don’t list a lawyer for Libby, who was being held at Cumberland County Jail on Friday night. He is scheduled to make a court appearance Monday.
The Coast Guard sent out a vessel that searched for more than four hours and a helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod spent more than five hours in the search on Dec. 3. The Maine Marine Patrol and private boats also helped in the search.
The hoax call came less than two weeks after the Coast Guard mounted an extensive search for four fisherman who were aboard the Portland-based Emmy Rose when it sank off Cape Cod on Nov. 23. The search turned up debris and an empty life raft but the fishermen were never found.
A Coast Guard official condemned the hoax call at the time.
“Today’s hoax is particularly offensive given the loss of four fishermen aboard the Emmy Rose just last week,” Capt. Brian LeFebvre, commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Northern New England, said in a statement on Dec. 3. “We will use all available resources to identify and hold the responsible individual accountable.”
The charge against Libby is outlined in an affidavit filed in court by Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent Mark Root.
The Coast Guard received a mayday call shortly after 6:30 a.m. on Dec. 3 on VHF marine radio Channel 16.
The Coast Guard dispatcher spoke with a man for about one to two minutes during which time he said he was on a boat that had lost its rudder and was taking on water fast and the pumps couldn’t keep up.
“Mayday, mayday, mayday,” says the voice in an audio recording released by the Coast Guard Sector Northern New England. “We lost our rudder and we’re taking on water fast. I just don’t have enough pumps to keep up with it.”
The man said there were three people aboard the boat and they were in Spruce Head Harbor and trying to get to the Atwood float.
Marine Patrol Officer Nicholas Stillwell responded to Atwood Lobster Co.’s wharf on Spruce Head Island in South Thomaston and boarded a private vessel in an attempt to locate the boat that made the distress call. No vessel was located.
Stillwell returned to the dock and spoke to Libby, a dock worker at the neighboring Spruce Head Fisherman’s Co-op. Libby provided Stillwell with a list of boats that had gone out that morning.
The officer then spoke to someone else at the co-op and played the recording of the distress call. That person said the voice sounded like Libby. The officer went back and spoke to Libby, who said he had heard the distress call. He also acknowledged the co-op office had a VHF radio that was on Channel 16.
The officer taped Libby and his voice was compared to the distress call by an associate research professor at the Language Technologies Institute School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Associate Professor Rita Singh concluded the voice on the distress call was the same as Libby’s, the affidavit states.
Surveillance video showed that Libby was at the co-op office at the time the distress call was made. And a check from a radio tower showed the call came from the direction of the co-op.
The Coast Guard said that Libby is not a suspect “at this time” in another fake distress call that went out in October 2019. In that case, which kicked off a 22-hour search, the purported “emergency” involved a man and three children and a capsized boat off Kennebunkport.
Coast Guard officials say that fake distress calls tie up resources that may be needed for a vessels that are actually in trouble.
“Our Coast Guard rescue crews thrive on taking risks for the sake of helping others in distress on the water,” LeFebvre, the commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Northern New England, said in the wake of the fake call on Dec. 3. “Hoax distress calls – like the one we received this morning – unnecessarily put our rescue crews at risk, drain resources, and may limit our ability to respond to actual emergencies.”

Yep, 5 years and $250.000 should make one think about pulling off a stupid stunt like that. If the fine can't be satisfied then a mandatory work session (Say working for the state every day till it's paid off) should be enforced. $ 3.00 a day to the perp and the remainder to the USCG. This should be a good place to start the chip implant program on humans. OR, as you say "Keel Haul his ass" . Do it in Chatham in July !!With zero helicopter traffic up here, any time I hear or see an orange CG chopper, overhead my heart goes out to whoever is in trouble out on the water.

Ha Ha, yeah i may like an "an electric Hummer".There better be a chit-pile of fast charging stations by then, but who's gonna pay for the electricity?
G.M. Will Sell Only Zero-Emission Vehicles by 2035
The move, one of the most ambitious in the auto industry, is a piece of a broader plan by the company to become carbon neutral by 2040.

The days of the internal combustion engine could be numbered.
General Motors said Thursday it would phase out petroleum-powered cars and trucks and sell only vehicles that have zero tailpipe emissions by 2035, a seismic shift by one of the world’s largest automakers that makes billions of dollars today from gas-guzzling pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles.
The announcement is likely to put pressure on automakers around the world to make similar commitments. It could also embolden President Biden and other elected officials to push for even more aggressive policies to fight climate change. Leaders could point to G.M.’s decision as evidence that even big businesses have decided that it is time for the world to begin to transition away from fossil fuels that have powered the global economy for more than a century.
G.M.’s move is sure to roil the auto industry, which, between car and parts makers, employed about one million people in the United States in 2019, more than any other manufacturing sector by far. It will also have huge ramifications for the oil and gas sector, whose fortunes are closely tied to the internal combustion engine.
A rapid shift by the auto industry could lead to job losses and business failures in related areas. Electric cars don’t have transmissions or need oil changes, meaning conventional service stations will have to retool what they do. Electric vehicles also require fewer workers to make, putting traditional manufacturing jobs at risk. At the same time, the move to electric cars will spark a boom in areas like battery manufacturing, mining and charging stations.

pressherald.com/2021/01/30/huge-stubborn-recycling-plant-fire-in-new-jersey-could-burn-for-days/
By Associated Press January 30, 2021
PASSAIC, N.J. — A huge fire engulfed a recycling plant overnight in northern New Jersey and raged into Saturday as firefighters battled flames, wind and frigid cold that turned the water from their hoses into treacherous ice. Officials warned it could burn for days.
Two firefighters suffered minor injuries, but all 70 employees at the Atlantic Coast Fibers plant are accounted for, Passaic Mayor Hector Lora said.
The blaze broke out around midnight, shooting flames into the dark as more than two dozen fire departments responded. There were at least two explosions, one involving a truck with gas tanks on it, Lora said.
Smoke billowed into the sky even after sunup, and Lora said firefighters planned to tap the Passaic River to keep dousing an inferno that could take days to extinguish.
“When you consider a recycling plant, everything inside is conducive for continuing to burn,” he told WABC-TV, calling the building “a complete loss.”
The cause is under investigation, Fire Chief Patrick Trentacost said, but he doesn’t consider it suspicious. Fires are not uncommon in recycling plants, he said.
“A lot of oils get on the recycling, the cardboard that they pick up on the streets in the sanitation trucks. So, batteries, acids can start a fire. A lot of factors,” Trentacost told WLNY-TV.
The flames erupted on a “punch-you-in-the-face cold” night, as the mayor put it, with temperatures in the teens. One firefighter was taken to a hospital with exhaustion, and another after falling on surfaces that were “like an ice-skating rink,” he said.

Firefighters did “a remarkable job, nonstop, just hitting the fire at every direction in order to contain it in that structure,” Lora said. There had been concern about the flames spreading, particularly to a former chemical factory that is now a woodworking firm.
“We’re going to be here for a few days dealing with this,” he said, also citing the impact on hundreds of employees at the plant and in neighboring structures.
Atlantic Coast Fibers processes cardboard, paper, plastic containers and other materials for recycling, according to its website. The family-run company dates back over 80 years.
The fire came two years to the day after a blaze at the Marcal paper plant in nearby Elmwood Park destroyed 30 of 36 buildings, as well as a familiar red sign visible from Interstate 80. About 500 people lost their jobs. The cause was never determined, but prosecutors said arson wasn’t suspected.

You know what the ironic part of this is? Since it was a Maine-based boat, that monster had to get tossed back over the side!! Maine is one of the few states that have a maximum size limit on lobsters. Don't ever believe a lobster over 4 lbs came out of a Maine port, that's about the max weight of the slot.
Maine draggers tried to get an exception to this rule for lobsters that came up in their nets, but it wasn't allowed. If a dragger gets a decent haul of larger lobsters, the captain needs to do a quick "Plus/Minus" analysis to see if steaming down to NH to unload the catch and lobsters will mean more money than tossing over the monstah lobstahs and heading back into their Maine home port.

Don't forget, if he steams down to NH he had better have a NH out of state Comm. license. Otherwise they can own your boat. That alone makes it almost a no brainer for dropping them over the side . Hey, Nothing to do with this but, did i ever tell you we had a BBQ on board

All states an the feds have a max size gauge. I can't get those 25-30 pounders anywhere anymore. All of the big (10+) lobsters come from draggers, they're too big to fit in the pots. MA is the big landing port for draggers with a load of lobsters.

Massachusetts man sues Market Basket over its coffee
Associated Press February 4, 2021
BOSTON — A Massachusetts man has sued a supermarket chain he alleges overstated the number of cups of coffee that could be made from a store brand can of coffee.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Boston alleges the Market Basket cans which contain roughly 11 ounces of coffee are labeled as containing enough coffee to brew 79 cups in the case of regular or 76 cups in the case of decaffeinated, WCVB-TV reported.
But the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, David Cohen, of Weymouth, alleges when he follows the directions on the can he can brew only 39 and 37 cups respectively.
“This means that consumers of the products, including plaintiff, were cheated out of 51 percent of the servings they paid for, in both cases, based on the advertising, marketing, and labeling of the products,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit says there are possibly tens of thousands of potential plaintiffs, and is asking for at least $25 in damages for each one.
Market Basket has two locations in Maine, one in Biddeford and one in Westbrook.
A spokesperson for Tewksbury-based company said the chain no longer sells the coffee in question.
“The label referenced in the lawsuit is no longer in our stores,” the spokesperson said. “We believe the lawsuit has no merit.”
