Milo O'Shea, hailed as one of Ireland's most successful actors, died peacefully at the age of 86 after battling complications from Alzheimers for a number of years. Twice nominated for Best Actor Tony Awards, he appeared in more than 90 productions on stage, film and television, working with major talents on both sides of the Atlantic including Sidney Lumet, Franco Zeffirelli, Bing Crosby, Paul Newman and Jane Fonda.
O'Shea's first Tony Award nomination was for the production of Staircase with Eli Wallach. His second nomination was for his performance in Mass Appeal which also earned him a Drama League Award and the Outer Critic's Circle Award.
He began his career as a boy actor in his native Dublin, playing such parts as Ptolemy in Caesar and Cleopatra and Oliver in Oliver Twist. He continued his career as a leading actor at the Gate Theatre and as a revue artist at the Gaiety Theatre with Jimmy O'Dea, Maureen Potter, Rosaleen Linehan and Fergus Linehan.
His London debut was opposite Dame Sybil Thorndike in Treasure Hunt directed by Sir John Gielgud. Subsequent West End productions include Moliere's School for Wives, John M. Synge's The Heart's a Wonder, Molnar's The Wolf, Once Upon a Mattress, Hans Christian Andersen, Can-Can and Corpse, which transferred to the Helen Hayes Theater on Broadway.
O'Shea made his Broadway debut in Staircase. He then co-starred with Angela Lansbury in the musical Dear World, and with Ruth Gordon and Lynn Redgrave in Mrs. Warren's Profession.
This was followed by Comedians, directed by Mike Nichols; A Touch of the Poet with Jason Robards and Geraldine Fitzgerald; Meet Me in St. Louis with George Hearn and Betty Garrett; Educating Rita with Kitty Sullivan; Philadelphia, Here I Come with Robert Sean Leonard and My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison.
O'Shea's numerous films include The Verdict, Romeo and Juliet, Barbarella, Ulysses, Hebrew Lesson, Theatre of Blood, The Dream Team, Opportunity Knocks, The Playboys, The Matchmaker and The Butcher Boy.
He had a number of plays written for him for British television including Harold Pinter's Night School and Hugh Leonard's Me Mammy which was turned into a successful BBC television series. His last stage appearance in Ireland was The Sunshine Boys with David Kelly.
His appearances on American television include QB VII, Silent Song (Italia Award), Peter Lundy and the Medicine Hat Stallion (Western Heritage Award) and guest appearances in St. Elsewhere, Golden Girls, The Commish, Who's the Boss, Cheers, Frasier, OZ for HBO and an ABC movie of the week, Swing Vote with Andy Garcia and Harry Belafonte. d
In 1984, having inspired the band's name, O'Shea reprised his Barbarella role for the Duran Duran concert film Arena.
O'Shea appeared as a guest in an episode of The West Wing for NBC, as Supreme Court Justice Roy Ashland. He also starred with David Kelly in Rough in Theatre 1, part of a special project that filmed all the plays of Samuel Beckett for international distribution, and which includes such actors as Sir Michael Gambon, John Hurt, Jeremy Irons and Julianne Moore.
His last U.S. performance was as Finian in the revival of Finian's Rainbow produced by the Irish Repertory Theatre and presented at the Westport Country Playhouse, with artistic director Joanne Woodward.)
O'Shea is survived by his wife, actress, singer and harpist Kitty Sullivan. The couple met while performing on stage together.
Following their marriage they continued to work together, most notably in Educating Rita and the 1981 Broadway revival of My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison. He is also survived by his son Colm and daughter-in-law Deirdre and their three children, Paul, Mark and Ellen. Also his son Steven and his partner Melanie Carrick, as well as his cousin Roisin White in Canada and extended family in Ireland.
The funeral will take place in his native city of Dublin where there will be a memorial followed by a memorial in his adopted city of New York, the city he loved so well and so loved him in return.
O'Shea was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Ireland and received honorary doctorates from University College Dublin and Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.
Ireland's Minister for Arts Jimmy Deenihan paid tribute to O'Shea, who he called a "giant of stage and screen."
"Over his life, he reached the widest audiences from across the globe -- on stage, on film, and on television -- and was internationally recognized for the quality of his work," Deenihan said.

The Biobehavioral Research Core is a subdivision of the Animal Models Core and assists in all aspects of behavioral testing in rodents, including the execution of behavioral tests, the development of experimental designs, and the submission of IACUC protocols, as well as analysis of data and preparation of scientific reports. Behavioral testing in rodents ranges from the assessment of general health and neurological function (i.e., sensory and motor function) to the measurement of complex behaviors such as social interaction, memory and learning.
The Biobehavioral Research Core provides assistance for the development of testing schedules with standard and/or custom batteries of behavioral tests.
Standard neurobehavioral assessment
Assessments are available to study animal models of human diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), Huntington's disease, autism, chronic pain, and drug abuse, and to study disease-specific behavioral effects of treatment/therapies.
Behavioral phenotyping
Wide-range screening of behavior to uncover neurobehavioral deficits in transgenic animals, followed by in-depth focused behavioral assessments with customized batteries of tests.
Undesirable behavioral effects of drugs and biologics (gene, vaccine and stem cell therapies)
In vivo pharmacology safety studies including standard (sensory and motor reflex responses, motor activity, and coordination) and custom (sedation, tremors, pain, mild cognitive impairment, and addictive behavior) batteries of behavioral tests to define the possible behavioral side effects of a treatment.
Best practices observed in the Biobehavioral Research Core ensure the quality and reliability of the preclinical behavioral assessments with the possibility of implementing non-GLP protocols which satisfy the requirements of the FDA.

They had both been scolded by judges in the past to get their drinking problems under control, and they have both received counseling for alcohol abuse.
They had both been scolded by judges in the past to get their drinking problems under control, and they have both received counseling for alcohol abuse.
But this past week, the two men – one a priest who stole $87,000 from his church, the other a man who killed an Observer-Dispatch carrier in a DWI crash – found themselves in trouble once again over alcohol-related allegations.
The Rev. Valentine Krul, 63, was charged last Thursday with aggravated driving while intoxicated, police said, following a two-car crash in Yorkville – his second DWI arrest since 2007, and less than two years since he spent several months in jail for stealing from the Church of the Sacred Heart and St. Mary Our Lady of Czestochowa in New York Mills.
Jason Davies, 26, was charged on Dec. 23 with driving while intoxicated as well after he allegedly went through a stop sign at the intersection of Route 12 and Mappa Avenue in the town of Trenton – just a few miles from where he had previously killed Cynthia Duquette, 41, as she delivered newspapers along a rural stretch of Mapledale Road in 2006.
Although Davies was found not guilty of vehicular manslaughter in Duquette's death, he still was sentenced to one year in jail at the time for driving drunk that rainy night, merely 12 days after Davies had pleaded guilty to a lesser alcohol-related charge that year.
Two very different men, but who both were meant to hear the same message when they were sentenced for their prior crimes:
"You are an alcoholic, Father, and you have to realize you are an alcoholic," Oneida County Court Judge Barry M. Donalty told Krul in June 2012, citing the reason for Krul's troubles.
In July 2007, county court Judge Michael L. Dwyer told Davies that young people need to realize that they cannot drive drunk "over and over and over again" and then expect to avoid punishment by saying, "All right, now I'm going to get help for my problem."
As both cases now move through the criminal justice system, it's unclear if any of their prior arrests will have any effect on how these latest charges are handled, prosecutors said Monday.
Although Krul was charged in 2007 with DWI following a one-car accident along Route 8 in New Hartford, he pleaded guilty to a lesser violation of driving while ability impaired and paid a $500 fine, court officials said.
"The arrest reports have been sent to the District Attorney's Office, and we're looking at it to determine if it should be prosecuted as a felony, if the evidence is sufficient," Assistant District Attorney Matthew Worth said.

By Pat Coleman
RESTON, Va. — My playoff odyssey might not have been as
interesting or nearly as long as Pacific Lutheran's, but I can at
least claim credit for about 4,500 miles traveled this postseason
in pursuit of Division III football.
Thankfully, a family vacation to Minnesota for Thanksgiving accounted for about half that distance. And thankfully my 2-year-old remembers what I look like. But that includes two games at St. John's, one at Montclair State, one at Mount Union and the Stagg Bowl in Salem. That's a game in each bracket except for the South, my home region.
Each of these towns has a unique relationship with its team, but none more than one Alliance, Ohio. In fact, we'll see if they ever invite me back after their team lost for the first time in four years on my first visit!
Talk before that game ranged from a particularly incendiary Terry Pluto column in the Akron Beacon Journal regarding Rowan's roster, to the possibly mythical Danny Sheridan line on the game favoring Rowan by nine, to reports that head coach Larry Kehres was interested in the Princeton head coaching job.
This is a group of people that considers Salem a second home, that still chuckles over the Johnnies of St. John's after a playoff blowout from 1993 and that basically bleeds purple.
After the game, silence from the Alliance crowd. Except for the hundreds of people standing outside the Mount Union locker room, applauding each player as he exited.
More than an hour after the game ended, one lone Mount Union senior was walking the field for one last time, with his head down. Hopefully he'll remember the 54 games his graduating class won, not the one that got away.
Even later, one person was upset that she had already gotten airplane tickets to Virginia. What, you can't drive to Salem?
Like much of small-town America, this is a friendly group of people. OK, so I didn't meet famed poster "Wartburg Fan," but I met all the nice ones. I'm told I haven't missed anything.
And in case I had forgotten in my six-hour drive home the historical significance of the game I had witnessed, the local Washington, D.C., all-news radio station reminded me. The Streak is over.
Long live Alliance.
Salem is similar. Maybe it's because there are so many Mount Union fans there. Though this was my first Stagg Bowl, it was my third trip to Salem — the two for two previous men's basketball Finals Four.
Though, at least Salem is on an interstate.
Salem always manages to put on a show. It's a town that loves its Division III athletics, relishes its semi-annual moments in the sun, and with apologies to Frosty Westering, they make the big time where they are. And they turn out for the games as well. With one team that traditionally does not travel well (Rowan) and another from 3,000 miles away (Pacific Lutheran) how else did they draw more than 4,000 for the game?
I imagine not too many other places have the mayor of the town out for the official banquet. Let me know if I'm wrong, but I'm sure Rudolph Giuliani wasn't around for the 1997 women's Final Four!
Here's looking forward to another trip to Division III's Titletown in March.

Distillation of spirits is legal in all states (there are no "dry" states). To do it legally you need a DSP (distilled spirits plant) permit
People say the darnest things!
i have two friends who shine regularly. they make damn fine hootch and have never been troubled by the law, if that's what you are wondering. if one doesn't blow up their garage, who really cares?
What I was trying to convey is that in Missouri we are allowed to include distilled spirits in the 200 gallon per 2 person household for personal and family use without having to have a license. So we can legally do homemade spirits in MO without having the tax collectors knocking at our door.

I just finished upgrading the firmware on my D3 and D700 (to v2.1 and 1.1 respectively). One of the things this is supposed to address is auto-focus in dim lighting.
I did some initial tests on focusing in the shadows. It appeared a bit faster to start and finish the hunt.
Then I put the new 50mm f1.4 AFS-G lens on. This didn't really focus any better than the original 50mm f1.4 AF lens. But after the firmware upgrade, this lens now focuses much quicker. The way I was hoping and expecting it too.
Thank you Nikon!

Widespread Panic: Why are you trying to kill me?
With at nod to these guys, and, for that matter, these guys too.
1. Destroying their bodies
Whether it's drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, a lack of sleep or, most likely, all of the above, few groups of people are into excess like Panic fans. And no one, NO ONE, is more likely to polish off an organically grown, fully vegan meal with a half gallon of bourbon. Let it be said, though, that Panic fans have good taste, and choose to destroy their internal organs with only the finest bourbons, beers, pills and powders when possible.
2. Making sarcastic remarks
Often about hippies, how they hate hippies or how dirty hippies are. It's ironic, I know.
3. The music of Widespread Panic
They pretend to like other music.
4. Dancing "my ass off"
Typically poorly. See #s 1 and 3.
5. Ridiculous outfits
As I walked out of a show last week there was a guy in a white ape suit playing a guitar and harmonica. On any other day, that might have seemed strange.
Yep. Lots of this guy.
6. T-shirts with clever sayings and/or song lyrics printed on them (men only)
This is not be confused with No. 5, and in fact has far more in common with No. 2. I suppose the female equivalent would be either a homemade dress, or an outfit that allows the girl to blend in with all the hippies wearing homemade dresses, but still look super hot.
7. Forcing other people to listen to their music.
Seriously, what makes someone decide to bring their own drum to a concert?
8. Not paying for things
I'm convinced some Panic fans have two-year community college degrees in the art of grifting.
9. Over-paying for things
This might seem at odds with No. 8, but I assure you it is not. $5 for a bottle of water? I'll have six.
10. Owning ridiculous amounts of technology
That dred-locked hippie might not have a place to stay tonight, but he's got a $3,000 laptop, a digital recorder with dual mike set and a sweet titanium mike stand. He also has an iPhone and a walkie-talkie. Can he sleep on your floor tonight?
11. Washing over you like locusts
Attention concert promoters: You cannot have too many kegs of beer or $5 bottles of water on hand for a Widespread Panic concert. I know you think you can, but you can't.
12. Selling you something
No, I don't want a veggie burrito or your charcoal drawing of "Mickey Hauser." See also: No. 8. By the way, whoever invented grill cheese sandwiches with garlic powder for $1 is a flat-out genius of consumerism.
13. Not being able to find things that are clearly in their pockets
See No. 1.
Joe Cox: Probably a Widespread fan.
14. Noticing coincidences
See No 1.
15. Talking about how awesome shows they attended were
Trust me, unless a member of the band ascended into heaven during the show you're talking about, you might as well be quiet. See also: No. 1.
16. Predicting the next song
This is often followed by an insistence that the band was, in fact, "teasing" that song "just like two nights ago in Orange Beach." See also: Knowing that was a Bloodkin song.
17. Referring to band members as "the boys."
See also: Referring to multiple shows in a row as "runs."
18. Talking about how awesome Eugene, Ore., and the entire state of Colorado are
Athens would also be on this list, except everybody already knows how awesome it is. Even people who've never been there.
Yes, I've heard. Thanks.
19. Being from Tennessee
I have no idea why. Though I once knew a guy who lived in Memphis specifically because it was a convenient place to get to Panic shows from.
20. Text messaging songs as they are played
I don't know why everybody's cousin needs to know what songs are performed at at show they are not attending, but they do. See also: Holding their cell phones up and swaying back an forth during slow Talking Heads covers, posting shaky video of songs to YouTube and having hour-long conversations on internet message boards.
21. Becoming best friends with people they clearly will never see or talk to again
See No. 1.
22. Actually seeing those people at another show, and doing them some kind of favor
See No. 1 and No. 3.
23. Holding grudges
Largely because it gives them ample opportunity to exercise their right to No. 2. I once saw a band review that panned Widespread with more than 4,000 follow-up comments posted to it (I am not making that number up), including someone posting the reviewer's telephone number and address.
p.s. - i made that number up. It was 785.
24. Exagerating
You know, just for effect.
25. Despite it all, or possibly because of it, not wanting to leave
This town is nuts, my kind of place...
I don't know who this guy is, but the visor and Colorado sky are dead giveaways.
90 comments:
What did you think about the shows? I only caught night two. They were on fire. Encore was sweet. I agree with the Colorado comments. I will be making my fifth trip to Red Rocks in a couple months.

26. Creating t-shirts using song lyrics and photographs to cleverly let everyone at the Panic show know about an internet message board saga in which Guy A meets his girlfriend on said Panic message board, falls in love, and then girlfriend ends up sleeping with Guy B behind Guy A's back. Guy B also happens to be Guy A's best friend and a fellow message board poster. Chaos ensues and it all unfolds between Guy's A & B in a huge e-fight on said internet message board for all to see.

By the way - It should be noted that I'm pretty sure Brian came up with "Widespread Panic, why are you trying to kill me?" which is easily the best line in the whole thing.
He probably had input into several items on the list, too. My memory is hazy. See No. 1.
As for the Savannah shows - the first night was pretty much all fire. (Rule 26: Calling songs "dirty" or "fire"). The second night I didn't love the first set, but the second set was damn good.
All in all a great time, though I did get pushed into a fence. No worries, though, because I'm holding a grudge.
- April 29, 2008 at 1:50 PM
pretty spot on. could add (for girls only) wearing ridiculously large glasses and overpriced sundresses (aka j.crew hippies)that will be ruined by the end of the first set due to consumption of copious amounts of drugs and/or alcohol.
Not that I know from experience or anything. :)

Does not having a pre-nup mean she gets half of everything, including illegal things?

You should also add a number for people who nickname themselves or make a play on their name to coinside with any "Jam" song, ie, large guys named "Bear", hairy guys named"Big Wooley" or "Disco" for that frat guy that parties way too much. Also, the screen names, St. Stephen, Sunshine Daydream, Mr. Soul or Joyous Occasion.

How about the comments about how many shows you've attended, and how many times you've partied with one of"the boys"? And yes, they are on fire. Which people say at some point of almost every tour.

Ok, so you saw the nickname, and yes my dogs name is Houser but only because he was born the day after Houser died. I actually called the guy from Dallas who wrote the bad review and left him messages about his anal lube deliveries! Oh yeah, I have more electronic gadgets than I know what to do with! I travel like a Bandit, and Im taking my 5th Red Rocks trip in two months! And Orange Beach was the heat!!!!

There really is nothing and no one better to see in concert than Widespread Panic! Never the same thing twice! Who cares what others think of us who follow them. I own my on business and my husband is a CPA and we manage just fine and we won't stop until the boys do!
- May 20, 2008 at 4:48 PM
I love it! I agree with Brooke G. I don't care what others think of me and my panic buddies. I'm an insurance company executive and have been to see 174 WSP shows. As long as the "boys" keep it up...I'll be there. Long live Panic.

Panic is cool when you are 16 and just starting to come into your own and party with your friends. Sure, the concerts are fun, but nobody over the age of 23 should be allowed to like Panic anymore. Plus, folks talk all about the hippies and such....but it's all the sweet fratty guys that dominate the shows. And I enjoy going to hang with friends and all of that....but the boys just aint that sweet anymore, or maybe I've grown up and get embarrased at the people around me when there. The chicks are hot at the shows though.

After 23 you shouldn't like panic anymore? That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. "oh wait, it's my 23rd birthday...time to start liking Kenny chesney." I guess after the age of 5, I shouldn't like McNuggets from McDonalds anymore...what a loser.

When you think about the specification of the expression enjoy, installing relation to its a romantic romance together with a different, nonetheless being a sensing which is engendered for those who have miltchmonkey an improved connection with ourselves too ( space ) and even as a a feeling of larger oneness family members or simply the human race - it then gets to be much more extra ordinary that all anybody wants in your life is enjoy.

I Sell the Dead (UK - BD RB)
Whatever they're selling, I ain't buying says Marcus as he runs the other way
After the execution of friend and work colleague Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden), Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan), also waiting for his own execution, is visited by Father Francis Duffy (Ron Perlman). Arthur is asked to recount the story of what led him to his execution and how he got tangled up with the Murphy gang.
Arthur tells his tale of how what started with simple dead body snatching to earn a living and ended up unearthing the un-dead (as well as other more bizarre creatures).
What a bizarre little flick I Sell the Dead is. Set in a period setting with a micro budget, the comparison that slipped into my mind was the old Comic Strip Presents... from the eighties. The modern storytelling techniques mixed with period clichés all within an almost comic book feel to its style. An interesting approach and one that I always enjoyed with the likes of Comic Strip Presents..., however that is where the comparisons end.
Sadly, despite its toe dipping into many a different genre, I Sell The Dead isn't really much of anything. It's neither funny enough to be considered a comedy, dramatic enough to be considered a drama, scary enough to be considered a horror, kooky enough to sit well with the cult crowd, or tight enough to feel like anything more than a movie you'll soon forget about.
With its many weird and wonderful attempts at an Irish accent from most of the cast (the worst being the kid playing young Arthur—who has an Australian/English/Irish/American without sounding much like any of them accent) and hiding its limitations in the darkened backgrounds, this movie never really seems to grasps the possibilities it's playing with.
Potentially this could have ended up one crazy-ass ride through the world of grave robbing with a twist. The monsters they unearth really could have played a wilder part in all this and made for a better movie. In fact what we do see of the monsters is quite a good in a buffy-esq sort of way and Glenn McQuaid's direction when the grave digging duo come across a vampire girl shows that he's more than capable of delivering fun, kinetic scares and laughs with what he had. Instead he seems more inclined to focus on the Murphy Gang (probably the least enjoyable aspect of the whole movie) and the ultimate twist in the tale—which in all honesty wasn't really that much of a curve ball.
At first I was quite surprised by the quality of the picture for I Sell the Dead. After the initial brightly lit—though quite blandly coloured—opening beheading, we enter Arthur's cell and it's a well presented dark set, with black levels deep and convincing, the characters lit only by candle light look fantastic (even if the good lighting covers up for the slight softness to the details).
Stepping into our flashbacks, everything changes. This is in part due to the fact that the scene is actually the short film that inspired the feature length outing, filmed some two years earlier, but even so the presence of grain floating in the fog really overwhelms and when young Arthur climbs down into the open grave it just looks awful, with slight colour bleeding.
Jumping back into the newly filmed scenes everything climbs back to looking great again and much of the movie hides its low budget limitations within its dark styling and well placed lighting. Because of this, skin tones look pretty natural and detail looks nice and sharp. Also despite the odd moments of low budget tell tale signs, [/i]I Sell the Dead[/i] actually manages to deliver some very effective looking special effects, in both practical and computer generated incarnations.
For the most part nothing really stands out here. The dialogue sits nicely in the front speakers and while clear it's never that strong (beyond Perlman's gravelly voice) there are a few atmospherics that are placed well in the surrounds, with a standout moment being the vampire sweeping around the moors in an American Werewolf in London type affair.
Another bit of standout audio was the splish-splashing of the water around the characters as they head to the island (what is it with Dominic Monaghan and Islands?) in their row boat. Unfortunately the illusion is shattered with the visuals as the boat doesn't look like it's moving an inch.
Straight into the two commentaries, the Monaghan and Fessenden track is the most fun with the two bouncing off of each other well and hyping up the small project throughout. The director's commentary is quite typical of a first timer with McQuaid giving us plenty of insight into the project and lots and lots of talk of the films and books that have influenced him. He also gives lots of detail about how scenes changed and came together and how outside influences formed changes (like Perlman being nabbed early for Hellboy 2).
The making of (01:04:00 HD) is a long one and not always that enjoyable a watch. Seeing how this small film was made starts off as interesting but I soon found myself yearning for another interview with a cast member as opposed to more long shots of watching the set up of a scene.
'I Sell the Dead: The Visual Effects' (13:05 HD) highlights the small but very effective effects and while not all of them worked for me in the movie, when they did they were very impressive, especially considering how small a project this was.
I Sell the Dead is a movie that has a lot of promising elements without really delivering on any of them. Its limited budget and charm run out when you realise that this one really isn't going anywhere too exciting and despite having a pretty kooky ending it all comes off as a pilot episode to a TV show I probably wouldn't watch.
As for the disc, there are plenty of features and generally some nice A/V on offer, however even with all this, I'm not sure this one is destined to find its audience.

That's a great review Marcus.
I was looking forward to seeing this, having read about it in Fangoria (where it actually got a Seal of Approval). I'll still buy it, being the horror movie buff that I am. It's not likely this is a movie that i'll be able to rent over here, so I'll be forced to buy it, but this makes me think of course.

Definate purchase for me. A good flick for Halloween. Only downside is it's too short. Still, i'd take this over Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 which will probably make a s**t load of money.

NEW YORK, March 3 (UPI) -- Bisphenol-A -- a chemical found in plastics -- was detected in at least 94 percent of urine samples in U.S. urban mothers and children, researchers say.
Lori Hoepner, Robin M Whyatt, Allan C. Just, Antonia M. Calafat, Frederica P. Perera and Andrew G. Rundle of the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health at the Mailman School of Public Health in New York said BPA was a chemical found in certain plastics and has applications in everyday consumer products. It is found in toys, reusable water bottles, medical equipment, food and beverage can linings and glass jar tops.
Diet is the most common route of BPA exposure, but it is also in store receipts. Past research has linked BPA with health effects such as cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and metabolic disorders, the researchers said.
The study involved 568 mothers and children enrolled in the Center's Mothers & Newborns study. Study leader Hoepner and colleagues analysed BPA concentrations found in urine samples collected prenatally and at ages 3, 5 and 7 years.
The study detected BPA in 94 percent of prenatal samples and at least 96 percent of the childhood samples, but the maternal prenatal BPA concentrations were significantly lower than those of their children.
Additionally, the study found concentrations were significantly higher among African-Americans as compared to Dominicans.
BPA concentrations were also correlated with concentrations of another chemical of concern, phthalates, used to soften plastics to increase their flexibility and found in a variety of products including enteric coatings of pharmaceutical pills and nutritional supplements, adhesives, electronics, building materials, personal care products, medical devices, detergents, children's toys, modeling clay, waxes, paint, ink, pharmaceuticals, food products and textiles, the researchers said.

NORTH VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It was the first chance people in the Lower Mainland have had to check out Kinder Morgan's plans to twin its pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby.
The info session included project details laid out on poster boards and experts to answer questions.
Many who came to the open house in North Vancouver had already made up their minds about the project.
"I think the increase in tanker traffic to the Port of Vancouver is just a catastrophic mistake. When a spill happens in the Salish Sea, it would devastate our coastline, and it's too precious to us to take that risk," said one woman.
She wasn't alone. Many people fear potential accidents.
"An increase to one oil tanker a day is going to massively increase the risk for Vancouver," said one North Vancouver woman.
"It's not worth the risk. I'm concerned about spills and leaks and to that regard I haven't heard too much reassurance," said another.
Others were dissatisfied about the information provided.
"I'm just kind of concerned that maybe some of these pipelines are going to be going through private properties, so I'm not for it," said one man.
"They're here to sell the project, they're not here for public engagement," said another.
Both Vancouver and Burnaby mayors have already come out opposed to the plans, and the province wants the company to beef up oil spill prevention and response before it will support the project.
This was the first of many info sessions set for the Lower Mainland.

The Praekelt Foundation is a non-profit that builds open source, scalable mobile technologies and solutions to improve the health and well-being of people living in poverty. Their Vumi solution was created as a response to the rapid spread of mobile phones across Africa. Vumi allows for large scale mobile messaging using SMS and USSD, so no internet connectivity is required. Vumi uses Riak as a super reliable backend to store all the messages that are being processed and all responses. This data is all archived to allow for further analysis to see trends of areas and which campaigns are the most successful.
The Vumi Network reaches hundreds of thousands of end users across many countries. It works with non-governmental organizations to set up campaigns and services for emerging markets. These include education (Wikipedia uses Vumi to allow end-users to search and retrieve information from Wikipedia over SMS/USSD), health (partnering with Johnson & Johnson, the MAMA campaign (Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action) allows pregnant women to receive health information over SMS based pregnancy stage and HIV diagnosis), peaceful messaging (Sisi Ni Amani uses Vumi to prevent election violence in Kenya through grassroots engagement and tracking of early conflict warning signs), as well as many other utilities.
They had been using Postgres for years but, when it came to storing messages, they knew Postgres was only an interim solution. Since they needed a non-relational system, they started evaluating the key players in the NoSQL space. With MongoDB, they found the durability defaults needed for a performance boost were not adequate for their zero downtime needs; CouchDB did not give them the performance they needed; and Cassandra was too operationally intensive for their small team and Riak offered better features. When they began testing Riak, Praekelt Foundation Chief Engineer, Simon de Haan, was able to get a three-node cluster up and running on his laptop in 20 minutes. This operational simplicity, the reliability of the system, the ability to seamlessly scale to entire populations, and the range of query options made Riak a clear choice to power Vumi.
"It blew my mind how easy it was to set up Riak and was a huge selling point for our small operations team," said de Haan. "We also needed a reliable system with solid up-time guarantees. Riak has never gone down on us and continues to survive individual restarts. The whole thing just works."
Since launching Riak two years ago, they are running five nodes and push 1,000 messages each second. All messages are stored as JSON in Riak, which makes it easy for them utilize Secondary Indexing and MapReduce when querying this data. With the introduction of pagination with Secondary Indexes and Eventually Consistent Counters in Riak 1.4, they have also been able to move a lot of data from Redis over to Riak to take advantage of these new features. Additionally, The Praekelt Foundation will expand their querying capabilities later this year when Riak Search gets a makeover in the Riak 2.0 release.
The Praekelt Foundation is currently evaluating Riak and Riak CS for some of their other technologies and Basho is proud to be a part of such a great cause. For more information on the Praekelt Foundation and Vumi, visit their site at www.praekeltfoundation.org/

Burn360: Earlier in the year we had a sneak peek at the Beta for 1 vs. 100. The concept was fun. Get together with your friends and play a live action game show from the comfort of your living room. This was a fun time when I thought I was eligible for prizes but when the rumors where squashed that no MS points were to be won, the nightly 1v100 sessions came to a halt fairly quickly. During this time we noticed that Microsoft was doing an excellent job of promoting the game through a reminder system when a game time was approaching on any given session I would check to see how many of my Live friends would be playing in a live session of 1 vs. 100 and the numbers were fairly staggering between all of our xbox live accounts roughly 20% would be playing the game, now this was during the beta, and with the new season starting back up we were interested to see if this would have carried over into the real live season out of the beta. With prizes thrown into the mix it seems like a shoe-in right?
If you use Twitter you may have noticed that your Major Nelson sent 20 twitter messages urging his followers to hop on and play tonight with tweets about the 1 vs. 100. While this is....
So because Major Nelson was promoting 1vs100 it must be in trouble? WTF kind of logic is this? This article is total sh*t. Wow. Ive played 1vs100 from time to time and there were about 30,000 or more online. What a terrible excuse for an article.
How do articles like this get accepted?
I play 1vs100 on occasion and it is great fun. There was about 50,000 people on when I played and I remember one night it was so popular it crashed. It is actually a hit. People call in on the live shows and you hear people of all walks of life and genders. Not to mention it is free and has achievements.
LOL. What a sorry excuse for an article. MN is the Xbox Live community manger, it is his job to promote stuff. So the new season start, don't you want people to know about it using all mediums.
what do you expect from the 360 when by itself it's a total failure... not just failure but a failure of all time magnitude.

Cardenas has proved that he is almost the indispensable man. He makes the difficult play look routine; and he makes the routine play. At a spot as important as shortstop, doing this on a consistent basis often is the difference between a winning and losing game.
- Sportswriter Si Burick
Born in Cuba in 1938, Leo Cardenas was signed by the Reds at age 17 in 1956. The son of an accomplished player in the Cuban professional leagues, Leo spent 4 1/2 years working his way up through the Reds minor league system, arriving in Cincinnati in 1960. Cardenas appeared in 48 games for the Reds late in the 1960 season, and while he struggled at the plate, he demonstrated the defensive excellence that would become his trademark for the balance of his career. The Reds' incumbent shortstop, Roy McMillan, had set the standard for defensive play at the position for nearly a decade. But the promise shown by Cardenas, coupled with the Reds' need to add pitching, prompted the club to trade McMillan to the Milwaukee Braves in the winter of 1960. In return, the Reds received pitchers Joey Jay and Juan Pizarro. Both players proved critical to the Reds' 1961 pennant run as Jay led the club in victories and Pizarro was packaged in a trade that netted the Reds Gene Freese, who became the club's staring third baseman.
Splitting time at short with Eddie Kasko, Cardenas hit .308 and belted five home runs in 198 at-bats and continued to shine defensively. Named the starting shortstop for the 1962 season, Cardenas would remain at the position for the next seven seasons, during which time his play ensured that the standard of excellence at short set by McMillan would be maintained. Christened "Mr. Automatic" for his defensive reliability, Cardenas lead National League shortstops in fielding percentage twice and was the league's Gold Glove winner at short in 1965. Far from being the "good glove, no-hit" shortstop that was typical of the era, Cardenas regularly demonstrated pop in his bat. In 1966 Cardenas broke Eddie Miller's 1947 club record for home runs by a shortstop when he belted his 20th of the season. Cardenas's mark remained the club record until Barry Larkin hit 33 in 1996 (Larkin had tied the record in 1991).
Following the 1968 season, the Reds were once again in need of pitching (the 1968 staff was, statistically, the worst in the league) and, with a young Dave Concepcion waiting in the wings, the club traded Cardenas to the Minnesota Twins for starting pitcher Jim Merritt. The trade proved to be beneficial to both clubs with Merritt posting a 20-win season in the Reds' 1970 pennant-winning year while Cardenas helped the Twins to back-to-back division-winning seasons as that club's starting shortstop.
Perhaps the most significant byproduct of Cardenas's departure was the space it created for Concepcion. Similar in many respects to his predecessor, Concepcion quickly established himself as the premier shortstop of the 1970s and was one of the most important components of the Big Red Machine clubs that dominated the decade. Concepcion's emergence also continued the almost unbroken line of superior play by Reds shortstops. From Roy McMillan in the 1950s to Cardenas in the 1960s to Concepcion in the 1970s and 1980s to Barry Larkin in the 1980s and 1990s, the Reds boast an unprecedented history of sublime performance at the infield's most challenging and important position.
Indeed it is no coincidence that the high level of play demonstrated by Reds shortstops has coincided with some of the best seasons in Reds history. Commenting on the play of Cardenas, Si Burick of the Dayton Daily News could have been writing about any one of the great Reds shortstops when he wrote, "Cardenas has proved that he is almost the indispensable man. He makes the difficult play look routine; and he makes the routine play. At a spot as important as shortstop, doing this on a consistent basis often is the difference between a winning and a losing game."
Leo Cardenas retired from baseball following the 1975 season. He was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1981 and has made Cincinnati his adopted home.

Mustangs off to 4-1 start
The 2011 season is just five games old. However, the Sweetwater varsity baseball team is already halfway to matching its win total for all of 2010.Sweetwater (4-1) — which will be hosting its three-day Wood Bat Classic tournament starting Thursday at Newman Park — captured the championship at San Angelo Lake View's tournament before losing at San Angelo Central by a score of 10-4 on Monday.At Lake View's tourna-ment, however, Sweetwater went 3-0 and dominated the competition, outscoring them 34-8. Sweetwater began its great tournament run last Thursday by defeating Crane 8-1, then routed Lake View 11-2 later that day to advance to Friday's title game where it outscored Wall, 15-5.Freshman Kaleb Hoover was the winning pitcher for the Mustangs in Thursday's win over Crane. He allowed two hits — singles in the second and third innings — and had 11 strikeouts in seven innings. Hoover retired the last 13 batters in order, eight of them coming on strikeouts. Connor Stafford was 4-for-4 at the plate with three RBI for Sweetwater, which led just 3-1 until a four-run fifth.Against Lake View, Staf-ford got the pitching win as he hurled a five-inning complete game and allowed just two hits, both singles, while striking out seven. Sweetwater broke the game open with a seven-run fifth inning in which Greg Aiken, Cameron Fox, Stafford, Austin Burt, Tanner Crain, Ryan Linebaugh and Kris Mayes all scored.Against Wall, Larry Dan-iel pitched the first 4 1/3 innings to get the win with Kris Mayes coming in to throw the last 2 2/3 in relief. They combined to allow just five hits and three earned runs while issuing a total of 10 strikeouts.Sweetwater's big inning this time was the second, when the Mustangs scored nine runs in staking Daniel to an early 12-1 lead. Sweet-water added three more runs and finished with 13 hits, led by a 4-for-4 game by Ryan Linebaugh with three RBI. Cameron Fox and Tanner Crain scored three runs apiece and Stafford and Parker Scott two, with Mayes, Aiken, Linebaugh, Sterling Reeves and Brett Rivera also scoring runs.Mayes pitched the first 4 2/3 innings until running into trouble against Class 5A Central, which scored the last nine runs Monday after trailing 4-1. Mayes gave up seven hits, including a go-ahead triple in the fifth, and struck out six before being replaced by Linebaugh. Of Central's first seven runs, only two were earned.Stafford collected two of Sweetwater's seven hits and Mayes, Reeves and Willie Norman had RBI. The Mus-led used a three-run second to go up 3-0 on a single by Crain, plus walks to Fox, Sean Morrow and Mayes and a Lake View error. In the fourth, Reeves doubled and scored on Norman's single to make it 4-1.But a five-run fifth put Central ahead 7-4 and chased Mayes, and the Bobcats added three more runs in the sixth inning before the game was called because of darkness. Sweetwater will play a total of six games at its annual Wood Bat Classic that starts with seven games on Thursday. Sweetwater will play Post at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, followed by two games Friday — against Lamesa at 4:30 p.m. and Ozona at 8:30 p.m. — and games against Post, Slaton and Clyde on Saturday.

In roughly half a century, Warren Buffett has built up Berkshire Hathaway Inc. into a multibillion-dollar holding company with interests in insurance, banking, railroads, media, fast food and furniture.
Today, it is one of the world's largest public companies with a market capitalization of $314 billion. Its Class A shares closed Friday at $190,686, up 7% year to date.
But as the company that Buffett built grows in size and Buffett gets on in years — he will be 84 in August — suggestions that Berkshire should be broken up are percolating under the surface, as evidenced by this article in The Economist.
As of yet, there is no indication that Buffett has entertained the thought of reorganizing the conglomerate into smaller units. Instead, the \"Oracle of Omaha\" has reassured investors time and time again that his successor has already been identified to ensure a smooth transition when he is no longer around. Expect more of the same when Berkshire shareholders gather for their annual meeting next weekend.

I know you can't overfeed a BF child but the LC says that while that is true, he should not be on the breast for as long as he is for babies his age and that due to his reflux and size, he may be overfed. He has wanted to be on for 40 min- hour. And he isn't actively sucking the entire time but I let him stay on because I thought you trusted the baby to tell you when he is done. He usually never pulls away on his own though. The LC thinks that he should be on for 20 minutes total (30 if I am comfortable).
I am very worried that my son is too big and that I should be timing his feeds like the LC suggests. He must be about 18 pounds now at nearly 11 weeks. I don't want to time his feeds but perhaps that he may be overeating, possibly due to the reflux. I have so much milk that if he takes both sides or even just one side, I am positive that he gets more than 4 ounces per feeding. I also offer him the breast when he is upset. The LC thinks I should really use a pacifier to help satisfy his need to suck even during his feeds But I am afraid that I will be ignoring his hunger cues which will send signals to my body to stop producing as much as he needs.
Again sorry for rambling on. I suppose it's been a tough week and I am so insecure that I am doing things poorly for Sebastian. He has been taking so long and everyone is telling me that he is way too big.

Kids Day: Pickup ballgame leads to scary diagnosis for boy hit in the head
It only took a split second, a turn to one side instead of the other.
In that one moment in June 2010, Austin Lee went from active adolescent to hospital patient.
Austin – he was 12 years old then – had gone from his Cheektowaga home to play a pickup baseball game nearby with some friends. He was pitching, and the batter hit a line drive toward him. Austin turned and tried to duck. But the hardball hit him squarely in the back of the head.
He went home. His mother, Dessie Bellinger, applied ice to reduce any swelling, and the next day he woke up feeling fine.
Everything seemed OK, except Bellinger wasn't taking any chances. The morning after the incident, she took Austin to a doctor, who diagnosed a mild concussion, something to be taken seriously but an injury that generally heals on its own. The family breathed a collective sigh of relief, thinking that nothing truly worrisome had happened.
Their relief was short-lived.
"In the next several days, Austin just wanted to sleep. He wasn't hungry. It wasn't normal," said Bellinger, who handles inpatient credit reviews for Kaleida Health.
The symptoms prompted her to drive Austin to the emergency department at Women & Children's Hospital, where personnel performed a CT scan. CT stands for computerized tomography. It's a common diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images of parts of the body.
In this case, a scan of Austin's head revealed the injury was more serious than a mild concussion. He had suffered a skull fracture and bleeding in the brain.
He was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit, and Bellinger grew anxious.
"You think you can handle anything until it is your own kid," she said. "I almost hit the ground when I saw the CT scan. I was scared."
Austin had a linear skull fracture, the most common type, in which the skull fractures in one line. Such fractures are common and tend to heal on their own. In this case, the more problematic issue was the bleeding.
"We needed to make sure the hemorrhage didn't get bigger and fully understand the cause, because it had features not typical of that kind of fracture," said Dr. Veetai Li, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at the hospital.
Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong. The treatment – plus rest and observation – took time but required no medications or procedures.
Austin, an active child who played league football, baseball and floor hockey at the time, also was required to avoid contact sports.
"It's like a bruise on the brain. The only treatment is time," said Bellinger, who also has a younger daughter and a stepson.
Today, nearly three years later at age 15, Austin has recovered but needs to be careful. He still must avoid contact sports. But there is no sign of any long-term cognitive effects, although loud noises, bright lights and sudden motions can bother him.
"I get a headache every now and then, but I feel normal. I'm fortunate," said Austin, who now plays in the outfield for the junior varsity baseball team at Cheektowaga Central High School.
He doesn't plan to get near a pitcher's mound again.
"In the outfield, you have more time to react to the ball, so I feel safe," he said.
How common are youth sports injuries?
The incidence of cases that end up in a hospital emergency room from the eight most common sports and recreational activities of children ages 5 to 14 decreased by 12.4 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to a study presented last month at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
The research from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center found that while overall sports injuries in children have declined over the past decade, injuries are on the rise for those playing football and soccer.
Statistics used in the study came from the Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. The researchers examined bicycling, basketball, football, roller sports, playground equipment activities, baseball and softball, soccer and trampoline.
An estimated 19 million children and adolescents play baseball as part of a team or in backyards each year in the United States, according to the Center for Injury Research and Policy of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
A 2009 study by the center found that the number of youth baseball-related injuries that end with a visit to the emergency room decreased 25 percent from 1994 through 2006, from 147,000 cases to 111,000.
The most common method of injury was being hit by a baseball or a bat. The most common injuries and commonly injured areas were cuts and bruises to the face, and arm or hand.
The authors of the study concluded that baseball is a relatively safe sport, and children should be encouraged to participate but that parents and leagues could take steps to make the sport even safer.
Injuries to pitchers from batted balls are not common in baseball, for youths or adults, whether in organized games or in backyards. But when they do occur, they can be frightening and pose the potential for catastrophic injury. Incidents in recent years have spurred calls for developing and requiring some sort of protective gear for pitchers.
Interest in protective headgear for pitchers appears to be growing, and manufacturers have introduced designs in recent years. But few leagues or schools have made the practice mandatory.
Tim Gardner, president of Mel Ott Little League, said that one of the problems leagues have tried to address but that still exists is the use of bats that are more powerful than those used in the past. He said that if pitchers are more at risk today, that may be one reason why.
"Bats are more souped up, even the legal ones. They react to the ball like trampolines, and the ball really hops off," he said.
Another factor potentially increasing the risk of injury, he said, is that children and adolescents who play baseball today tend to play it less because of the trend among families toward more organized play.
"Kids used to be outside playing all day," he said. "That made them more athletically attuned to the sport. You don't see that as much anymore."
