...PIRG disagree. After conducting their own mercury tests, they have expanded the FDA list to include tuna, sea bass, Gulf Coast oysters, marlin, halibut, pike, walleye, white (Pacific) croaker and largemouth bass. According to a joint report from the groups, "The odds are greater than one in 1,000 that consumption of a single meal of these fish will expose the fetus to a potentially hazardous amount" of mercury. The report goes on to list "safe" fish, including farm-raised trout, farm-raised catfish, shrimp, fish sticks, summer flounder, wild Pacific salmon, croaker, mid-Atlantic blue crab and haddock...
...countries have a meeting scheduled for April 18 that looks likely to be anything but friendly. China has announced its delegation plans to demand that the U.S. accept full responsibility for the plane crash and cease further surveillance flights in international airspace off the Chinese coast. Fat chance. The U.S. plans not only to resume the flights, but to challenge the Chinese conduct in response to such flights.

For every part they ordered, employees had to fill out an eight-section purchase order. Those orders added up fast. Each patrol boat Bollinger built for the U.S. Coast Guard contained about 4,000 parts...
...play traveled to Dublin and Edinburgh and eventually to London's West End. (During one break, they co-starred as the tramps in Waiting for Godot. What's Irish for "busman's holiday"?) Hill, 36, the pudgy, cherub-faced one, grew up in Ballycastle, on the northeast coast. Campion, 41, the angular, rugged-looking fellow, hails from County Kilkenny in the southeast. Together they have more than three decades of stage work under their belt, though neither, oddly, ever landed a movie-extra job. Hill did pick up some work as an extra for British...
