Potentially harmful chemicals that were banned from children’s teething rings and rubber duck toys a decade ago may still be present in high concentrations in your child’s favorite meal: macaroni and cheese mixes made with powdered cheese.
The chemicals, called phthalates, can disrupt male hormones like testosterone and have been linked to genital birth defects in infant boys and learning and behavior problems in older children. The chemicals migrate into food from packaging and equipment used in manufacturing and may pose special risks to pregnant women and young children.
A new study of 30 cheese products has detected phthalates the highest concentrations found in the highly processed cheese powder in boxed mac and cheese mixes.

Two former employees of the U.S. House of Representatives have been indicted for allegedly circulating private, nude photos and videos of a Congress member and the member’s spouse, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday.
A grand jury indicted Juan R. McCullum on cyberstalking and Dorene Browne-Louis on obstruction of justice.
According to the indictment, McCullum offered to help repair the Congress member's iPhone in March 2016 by taking the device to a local Apple store. The iPhone had private, nude photos and videos on it.
McCullum created a Facebook account with a fake name, Susan Ricenville. He friended many Facebook users, including those of politicians competing with the member of Congress, prosecutors say. In July 2016, Plaskett said in a statement someone had copied personal photos and a private family video of her and her husband, according to a Politico report.
McCullum sent text messages and emails to Dorene about distributing the images. She allegedly deleted texts from McCullum from her phone in addition to making false, incomplete and misleading statements to law enforcement and a federal grand jury about what she know, the indictment said.

The Move...
Traditionally buttoned-up Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs has relaxed the dress code for its computer engineers in a bid to attract tech talent with a more casual environment.
The fifth-largest U.S. bank by assets told employees in its technology division to "exercise judgment in determining when to adapt to business attire," according to an internal memo from late June seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The move comes as the bank makes a push to recruit and keep hold of top tech talent in the face of intensifying competition.
Goldman and other Wall Street banks compete for the best employees with Silicon Valley firms and hedge funds. So relax, this is a good time.
