Breaking news from the St. Petersburg Times: "Firefighters sealed off the desk of St. Petersburg Times columnist Howard Troxler after he received a white granular substance in the mail. Some of the unidentified substance fell out of the envelope after Troxler opened it over his desk in the newsroom of the paper's offices in St. Petersburg. Troxler placed the envelope on his desk. Police and firefighters were notified. 'I'm sure it's nothing, but the fire department says that in an abundance of caution, they're going through all of their procedures,' Troxler, 42, said. 'If nothing else, it's a good test.' Police put the envelope in a plastic bag and inside a tin can and drove it to a state health lab in Tampa for analysis. St. Petersburg firefighters did not have any other reports of suspicious substances Tuesday."
