2011-05-27

MILAN, ITALY, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) The huge San Siro stadium will host two performances of the hit opera production Notre Dame de Paris next month.

Officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, AC Milan and Inter Milan's football stadium will be transformed into a concert venue for the shows on June 29th and 30th.

Notre Dame de Paris has been a consistent success since first being performed in 2001 and it is celebrating its tenth anniversary by going on tour.

However, production values will not be compromised, with a huge cast and a complex staging system all being brought to entertain the Milan audience.

Tickets for the shows start from EUR17 (GBP14.75). It begins at 21:00 local time on both nights.

With an 80,000-person capacity if the pitch is used, the San Siro stadium is ideal for such a high-profile act.

The venue was commissioned in 1925 and could fit 100,000 people at one point, although this was eventually reduced to improve safety.

Opera fans can find a vast selection of luxury hotels in Milan on LateRooms.com, including the Hotel Berna Milan.

New study suggests link between estrogen exposure, high blood pressure

2011-05-27

EAST LANSING, Mich. — While recent studies have shown long-term exposure to estrogen can be a danger to women – overturning physicians' long-held beliefs that the hormone was good for their patients' hearts – the process by which estrogen induces high blood pressure was unclear. In a new study, Michigan State University researchers found long-term estrogen exposure generates excessive levels of the compound superoxide, which causes stress in the body. The buildup of this compound occurs in an area of the brain that is crucial to regulating blood pressure, suggesting that ...

High risk of Parkinson's disease for people exposed to pesticides near workplace

2011-05-27

In April 2009, researchers at UCLA announced they had discovered a link between Parkinson's disease and two chemicals commonly sprayed on crops to fight pests. That epidemiological study didn't examine farmers who constantly work with pesticides but people who simply lived near where farm fields were sprayed with the fungicide maneb and the herbicide paraquat. It found that the risk for Parkinson's disease for these people increased by 75 percent. Now a follow-up study adds two new twists. Once again the researchers returned to California's fertile Central Valley, ...

Folic acid given to mother rats protects offspring from colon cancer

2011-05-27

TORONTO, Ont., May 26, 2011—Folic acid supplements given to pregnant and breast-feeding rats reduced the rate of colon cancer in their offspring by 64 per cent, a new study has found. The research, led by Dr. Young-in Kim, a gastroenterologist at St. Michael's Hospital, adds to the growing but sometimes contradictory evidence that folic acid supplementation during pregnancy and lactation can increase or decrease the development or progression of some pediatric malignancies and common cancers in their offspring in adulthood. For example, a separate study by Kim published ...

Solutions to Rising Food Prices and Threats to World Food Supply Available in "Food Shock" Report from OffTheGridNews.net

2011-05-27

In an article published by Bloomberg.com on May 12, 2011 it was reported that global food prices could climb an additional 4.4% by the end of the year, providing further evidence that the current state of the world's food supply is in flux and in dire need of stabilization. Unfortunately the need isn't being met with enough action as more than 44 million people have been pushed into poverty since last June due to rising food prices and that figure will likely climb alongside the anticipated escalation of food costs. As it becomes evident that governmental involvement and ...

Significant role of oceans in onset of ancient global cooling

2011-05-27

Thirty-eight million years ago, tropical jungles thrived in what are now the cornfields of the American Midwest and furry marsupials wandered temperate forests in what is now the frozen Antarctic. The temperature differences of that era, known as the late Eocene, between the equator and Antarctica were half what they are today. A debate has been ongoing in the scientific community about what changes in our global climate system led to such a major shift from the more tropical, greenhouse climate of the Eocene to modern and much cooler climates. New research results ...

World-wide assessment determines differences in cultures

2011-05-27

Published in the May 27 issue of the journal Science, the study for the first time assesses the degree to which countries are restrictive ...

NASA: Songda becomes a super typhoon

2011-05-27

As predicted, Typhoon Songda intensified and was a super typhoon with wind speeds estimated at over 130 knots ( ~145 mph) when NASA's TRMM satellite passed directly over head on May 26, 2011 at 0806 UTC (4:06 a.m. EDT).
