Melumine is rich in nitrogen. whtch registers as protein on many routine tests. Authorities say the melamine was added to Chinese formula to urtifkially boost its pro~ein levels.

Bv MARlliA MENDOZA AP NAtiONAl WRITER · The Food and Drug Administration says the industrial chemical melamine and a by!)roduct cyanuric acid have · now been detected in four of 89 containers of infant formula made in the · United States, doubling previously reported positive results. The contamination 'is eMremely mmute, at levels federal re~ulators say are safe for babies. In November, The Assoctated Press reported previously undisclosed FDA tests, obtained under the Freedom of lnformati<ln Act, showing that out of 77 containers of domestic infant fonnula· tested, a can of milk-based liquid Nestle GOod Start Supreme Infant Fonnula with Iron con. rained traces of melamine while Mead Johnson's Enfamil LIPIL with Iron had traces of cyanuric acid. The FDA has now updated its response to the AP's FOIA request by posting results of 89 tests on its Web site. Those results show that two additional container.> of ·Enfumil I.IPIL with Iron had traces of cyanuric add. Separutely, a third major formula maker· - Abbott Laboratories, whose brands includt" Similac - told AP in November that in-house te~ts had detected trace levels of melumine in its infant fut'mulu. Those levels were below what FDA found in the other formulas. an Abbott spokesman suid. und be.low any national s.ufety guidelines. FDA tested 37 different Abbott Laboratories formulas and had no detections . · Abbott Laborutories. Nestle and Mend ·Johnson make .more than 90 percent of all infant formula produced in the United States, In addition to the Abbott formulas, the FDA tested five Nestle fonnulas, 21 Mead Johnson formulas and '26 pl\lducts of a fourth company. PBM Products. Melamine ut much higher levels was recently found to have contaminated milk products around the world and has been implicated in the stckening of nearly 300.000 babies in China and killinl! at least six infants there. Melumine is rich in nitrogen. whtch registers as protein on many routine tests. Authorities say the melamine was added to Chinese formula to urtifkially boost its pro~ein levels. The FDA arid other experts said they believe the minute melamine contamination in U.S.-made fonnula had Ol:cun-ed during t.he manufacturing process. ruther than intentionally . . The U.S. gover.nment quietly began testingdomesticully pmduced infant formulu in September. soon alter problems with melamine-spiked fonnula surfaced in China. No Chinese manufacturers of infant fonnulu huve met requirements to sell their product here, according to the FDA . . Melnmme can legally be used in some food packaging, und can rub off into food from there. It's also part of u cleaning solution used on some food processing equipment. Mead·Johnson oiTiciuls suid the FDA had informed them of the test results and they were confident the levels of cya- · nuric acid are so low thut they do not pose a health risk to infants. The company said it is considering chnnging the cleaning solutions it uses on its manufucturlng equipment to reduce cyumiric acid contaminution. Thougll melamine is not believed harmful in tiny mnounts. higher concentrations produce kidney stone:-. which 'can block the ducts that curry urine from the body, und in serious cnses cun cuusc kidney fuilure . To date, here are the FDA results for detections in U.S.made formulu : • Two s4mples tested from one ~un of Mead Johnson's Infant Formulu Powder, Enfamil LIPIL with Iron had cyanuric ucid ut levels of 0.412 und 0.31 purts per million: • Three. samples tested from one ctm of Mead Johnson's Infant Formula Powder.

Bill Richardson. has withdrllwn under an ethics cloud. It's a hard dose of reality to swatlow at the threshold to the White House . While these are hiccups in what has otherwise been .a smooth transition, Obama's response suggests that he is a ~tient and pragmatic politician, willing to trade time for consensus on legisJation and to jettison allies who jeopardize his carefully buih reformist image. · The next president of the United .States understands that the power of his office has its limits. even in crisis. He knows, too. how weary voters are of the seamy, transactional side of politics as outlined in the cases involving Richardson and Illinois Gov.

When the curtain came down on its final ~rformance last year, .she carne back to be there, too. So when producers decided to launch a national tour studded with original veterans , i1 made sense for Stewart to pack her bags and be there again. · " I used 'to say, 'Oh my lJod, this show is so hard l'd never travel with it.' Yet here I am 13 years later," Stewart, now in her late 40s, says with a smile. "I'm just hoping these old bones will serve me well on the road. We'll have to see." Stewart, who had several small roles in the show and liecarne known as the lead "ocalist for the signature song "Seasons of Love," joins the show's two male leads Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp for the eightmonth 'Rent, The Broadway Tour." It's a reunion that Rapp says he couldn't turn down. Though his stage credits include "Precious Sons," Degrees of "Six Separation," and the revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," little compares to the show he originally joined while working at a Starbucks. "I had quite a few years of experience before doing '·Rent' and I've had some really good experiences since, but it's by far the most fulfilling one I've ever had," he says. · . The. musical, based on Giacomo Puccini's classic 1896 o~ra ''La Boheme," tells the story of struggling young artists in >New York's East Village. The show's book, music and lyrics were created by Jonathan Larson, who died shortly after "Rent" began its life offBroadway. "Rent" played its final, tearful performance 'in New York on Sept. 7, 2008, after ~ .124 ~rformances, the seventh longest running show in Broadway history. It helped launch the careers of Rapp, Pascal and Stewart, as well as Taye Diggs, Idina Men·zel and Jesse L. Martin, and netted four Tony Awards .

PORTSMOUTH - For three months, January through March at Shawnee State University, Matt Matthews' Black History Month program begins with "Celebrating the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." 1be movie "King" will be shown at I :30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 15 in the Flohr Lecture Hall at Clark Memorial Library followed by featured guest s~aker Dr. Samuel H. Hancock. special assistant to the' president for Diversity, University of Toledo. He 1s one of the leaders of the newly formed state organization, Ohio Chapter of Diversity Officers in Higher Education. · Hancock is also an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine and an internationltl consultant specializing in Developing , Cultural Competence; arid he .has held diverSity training sessions for the past 20 years, training more than I ,500 people. His topic is "Unfinished Business," discussing the primary initiative King was working on before his assassination. "The primary objective of the presentation will be to chilllenge all of us, particularly our young ~pie, to work toward fimshing the work he . started and to understand tha.t despite our greatest intentions , resistance will come from within, which is where we least ex~ct it," Hancock said. "Another goal will be to try to show that Dr. King in his own words was primarily a Baptist preacher who had fears, frustrations and concerns just like the rest of us, but had the extraordinary ability to overcome his fears and was literally driven to do what was right regardless of the cost." A video, "The Nuns March on Selma," will be shown at I :30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan . 22 in the Flohr Lecture Hall. The video is about King ~ti­ tioning the clergy of different faiths to come to Alabama and protest in a non-violent way to lend their support for the civil rights movement. The nuns of the Catholic Church were one of the first religious groups to support .the civif · rights movement. ln February, the Black History Month theme is "The History of Black Music from the GosfCI to Jazz and the Blues.

Yet here I am 13 years later," Stewart, now in her late 40s, says with a smile. "I'm just hoping these old bones will serve me well on the road. We'll have to see." Stewart, who had several small roles in the show and liecarne known as the lead "ocalist for the signature song "Seasons of Love," joins the show's two male leads Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp for the eightmonth 'Rent, The Broadway Tour." It's a reunion that Rapp says he couldn't turn down. Though his stage credits include "Precious Sons," Degrees of "Six Separation," and the revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," little compares to the show he originally joined while working at a Starbucks. "I had quite a few years of experience before doing '·Rent' and I've had some really good experiences since, but it's by far the most fulfilling one I've ever had," he says. · . The. musical, based on Giacomo Puccini's classic 1896 o~ra ''La Boheme," tells the story of struggling young artists in >New York's East Village.

"Rent" played its final, tearful performance 'in New York on Sept. 7, 2008, after ~ .124 ~rformances, the seventh longest running show in Broadway history.

"Another goal will be to try to show that Dr. King in his own words was primarily a Baptist preacher who had fears, frustrations and concerns just like the rest of us, but had the extraordinary ability to overcome his fears and was literally driven to do what was right regardless of the cost."

Unfortunately for the Giants. they aren't one of them . They are the NFC"s top-seeded team . the hunted instead of the hunter. as they prepare to meet Philadelphia for the third time this season. Actually, ot wouldr't be too long a shot to suggest that the two sixth-seeded teams could make it to the Super Bowl on Tampa. Pittsburgh went that route in 2006 and won, and the Giants. the fifth seed (same difference) did it last year. But never have two teams seeded that low gone to the same Super Bowl. This season's bottom seeds are the Ravens in the AFC and the Eagles in the NFC. They go up against the top-seeded Titans and Giants on the road in an all-rematch weekend. Both are live underdogs who would surprise no one if they won. The Ravens lost 13-10 to the Titans in Baltimore in October with the help of a dubious penalty that extended Tennessee's winning drive. And the Eagles and Giants split their two games, each wmning on the road. "They're about as dangerous as all four teams left in the playoffs," Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce said of the Eagles - the four referring to the teams remaining in the NFC. He might as well have said that for all eight teams. AFC Put a blanket 'over all four contestants, including San Diego, which is just 9-8.

He says he'll play, but the final verdict is up to the doctors. Moreover. the reason Ben was carried off was a shaky offensive line that allowed 49 sacks this season and was especially vulnerable to teams such as the Eagles and Giants. who rush the pa~ser well . The Chargers can do that with outstde linebackers Jyles Tucker and Shaun Phillips and can stuff the run withhlamal Williams. Tlie Steelers may have been four games better in the regular season, but this is no gimme. The. game between Baltimore (12-5) and Tennessee (13-3) takes us back to the pre-realignment tum of the century. when both teams played in the AFC Central. In the same roWld that season, the Ravens won 24-10 in Nashville as a wild card against the Tennessee team that had won the divisioo. Baltimore had just 134 yards of offense and six first downs in that game, but won because of two obscure spectal learners and sttll-verymuch around Ray Lewis. who had just been chosen the league's defensive player of ·the year.

He was given another chance and cleared to play 'in 2008 by commissioner Roger Goodell. But on Oct. 7, Jones got into a scuffle with a body- No.1 from Page Bl deciding whether to enter the draft or return for his senior season. Tebow IS not exactly elegant with his lefthanded tosses. and some scouts project he'll wind up as a tight end on the pros. '"I'll hear somethmg about Tim's throwing motion or the NFL is looking for ..., I sometimes get confused," Meyer said. "Do they want a guy that's going to lead a team to win games? I don't know if there "s any ·better than Tim." Tebow drew the most first-place votes in the H~isman balloting last to be in treatment, and he got the treatment he needed," Robinson said. , "He came out of there a better person and a healthier person because of that." Robinson said he did not think Jones· suspension was a factor in the Cowboys' decision to release the cornerback. "We doo 't have any reason to believe at this point thl\1 that off-the-field incodent had anythmg to do with the team's decision today," Robinson said. "I know there was certainly a lot of bad that came out of that situation, but there was some good that came out of that situation as well." Jones had 31 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. On special teams, he averaged 22.1 yards on seven kickoff returns. The yearlong ban in 2007 and six-week suspension m 2008 contributed to Jones playi,ng below expectations, Robinson said. month, but finished third overall. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford took home the trophy - he smd his parents now have it somewhere in their house. Bradford, a sophomore, also has submitted paperwork to the NFL's advisory board to see how highly he could get picked in the draft. Tebow and Bradford expect to make their decisions a few days after the big game. While Florida boasts great speed, the secondranked Sooners operate at a blink-of-the-eye pace. They set a modern record for points this 'season. averaging 54 a game. With their linemen, receivers and backs rushmg downfield, their no-huddle offense often leaves opponents gasping and disorganized. Teams are allowed 40 seconds to run a play; Oklahoma tnes to snap the ball in half that time. Given more than a month to prepare, Meyer said it's still hard to simulate what the Sooners do. "You don 'I understand you have substitution limi· rations because of tempo , you have the fatigue factor and you have the chaos factor where you like to I ine up,'' he said. Oklahoma has lo~t four strmght BCS games. including two for the national title. Down here in Gator country, both teams got m early shots th1s week. Sooners cornerback Dominique Franks went first, saying Tebow would be nothing more than the fourth-best quarterback in the Big 12: The next day, Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes called Bi~ 12 defenses "a joke." Usually, teams try to avoid giving their opponents something to tack up on the bulletin board. This time, Meyer seemed more than fine with the baFbs. His team wlls a four-point favorite, and he wanted to avoid any chance of complacency. '"If I had my druthers, I'd rather coach a very mean, angry, nasty, upset team," he said. '"I have to get to that point." . · • ' the defensive line coach also ~poke with New York from 1997-99.

(FOX) : Thursday, January a, 2009 www;mydallysentlnel.com Everyone wants to be last year's Giants NFL Plow<>lf Glonce ' Thursday, January·s, 2009 With the second round of the NFL playoff~ upon us. there are multiple aspirants to become last season "s Giants, the team from nowhere that swept through the postseason to an improbable Super Bow lillie. Unfortunately for the Giants. they aren't one of them . They are the NFC"s top-seeded team . the hunted instead of the hunter. as they prepare to meet Philadelphia for the third time this season. Actually, ot wouldr't be too long a shot to suggest that the two sixth-seeded teams could make it to the Super Bowl on Tampa. Pittsburgh went that route in 2006 and won, and the Giants. the fifth seed (same difference) did it last year. But never have two teams seeded that low gone to the same Super Bowl. This season's bottom seeds are the Ravens in the AFC and the Eagles in the NFC. They go up against the top-seeded Titans and Giants on the road in an all-rematch weekend. Both are live underdogs who would surprise no one if they won. The Ravens lost 13-10 to the Titans in Baltimore in October with the help of a dubious penalty that extended Tennessee's winning drive. And the Eagles and Giants split their two games, each wmning on the road. "They're about as dangerous as all four teams left in the playoffs," Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce said of the Eagles - the four referring to the teams remaining in the NFC. He might as well have said that for all eight teams. AFC Put a blanket 'over all four contestants, including San Diego, which is just 9-8.

He says he'll play, but the final verdict is up to the doctors. Moreover. the reason Ben was carried off was a shaky offensive line that allowed 49 sacks this season and was especially vulnerable to teams such as the Eagles and Giants. who rush the pa~ser well . The Chargers can do that with outstde linebackers Jyles Tucker and Shaun Phillips and can stuff the run withhlamal Williams. Tlie Steelers may have been four games better in the regular season, but this is no gimme. The. game between Baltimore (12-5) and Tennessee (13-3) takes us back to the pre-realignment tum of the century. when both teams played in the AFC Central. In the same roWld that season, the Ravens won 24-10 in Nashville as a wild card against the Tennessee team that had won the divisioo. Baltimore had just 134 yards of offense and six first downs in that game, but won because of two obscure spectal learners and sttll-verymuch around Ray Lewis. who had just been chosen the league's defensive player of ·the year. How exactly? First Keith Washington blocked a field-goal attempt and Anthony Mitchell returned it 90 yards for the go-ahead score, then Lewis returned an interception 50 yards. .Omens1 The S~per Bowl that ~~·son was m Tampa, where II Is agam.

The Giants, who lost three of their last four games, got the only one they needed in that span by beating Carolina in overtime to secure homefield advantage. The formula: bangmg with Brandon Jacobs to wear down the defensive front. then sending Derrick Ward for 215 yards through ever-widening holes.

He was given another chance and cleared to play 'in 2008 by commissioner Roger Goodell. But on Oct. 7, Jones got into a scuffle with a body- No.1 from Page Bl deciding whether to enter the draft or return for his senior season. Tebow IS not exactly elegant with his lefthanded tosses. and some scouts project he'll wind up as a tight end on the pros. '"I'll hear somethmg about Tim's throwing motion or the NFL is looking for ..., I sometimes get confused," Meyer said. "Do they want a guy that's going to lead a team to win games? I don't know if there "s any ·better than Tim." Tebow drew the most first-place votes in the H~isman balloting last to be in treatment, and he got the treatment he needed," Robinson said. , "He came out of there a better person and a healthier person because of that." Robinson said he did not think Jones· suspension was a factor in the Cowboys' decision to release the cornerback. "We doo 't have any reason to believe at this point thl\1 that off-the-field incodent had anythmg to do with the team's decision today," Robinson said. "I know there was certainly a lot of bad that came out of that situation, but there was some good that came out of that situation as well." Jones had 31 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. On special teams, he averaged 22.1 yards on seven kickoff returns. The yearlong ban in 2007 and six-week suspension m 2008 contributed to Jones playi,ng below expectations, Robinson said. month, but finished third overall. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford took home the trophy - he smd his parents now have it somewhere in their house. Bradford, a sophomore, also has submitted paperwork to the NFL's advisory board to see how highly he could get picked in the draft. Tebow and Bradford expect to make their decisions a few days after the big game. While Florida boasts great speed, the secondranked Sooners operate at a blink-of-the-eye pace. They set a modern record for points this 'season. averaging 54 a game. With their linemen, receivers and backs rushmg downfield, their no-huddle offense often leaves opponents gasping and disorganized. Teams are allowed 40 seconds to run a play; Oklahoma tnes to snap the ball in half that time. Given more than a month to prepare, Meyer said it's still hard to simulate what the Sooners do. "You don 'I understand you have substitution limi· rations because of tempo , you have the fatigue factor and you have the chaos factor where you like to I ine up,'' he said. Oklahoma has lo~t four strmght BCS games. including two for the national title. Down here in Gator country, both teams got m early shots th1s week. Sooners cornerback Dominique Franks went first, saying Tebow would be nothing more than the fourth-best quarterback in the Big 12: The next day, Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes called Bi~ 12 defenses "a joke." Usually, teams try to avoid giving their opponents something to tack up on the bulletin board. This time, Meyer seemed more than fine with the baFbs. His team wlls a four-point favorite, and he wanted to avoid any chance of complacency. '"If I had my druthers, I'd rather coach a very mean, angry, nasty, upset team," he said.
