A newlywed and expectant father in New Hampshire was killed by an exploding beer keg.

Ben Harris, 26, a worker at the Redhook Ale Brewery in Portsmouth, was filling a plastic keg with air to remove old beer on Tuesday when it burst, peppering him with shrapnel.

“We are heartbroken by this tragedy and are grieving with the family,” the brewery said in a statement.

Harris had worked there since he left high school. His new wife, Alysha Miller, is a waitress at the brewery’s pub.

She told the Portsmouth Herald that he was thrilled that she was pregnant.

“His goal in life was to be a father,” she said.

Mary Moore, 45, and her son Thomas Olson, 22, died in separate car crashes that occured hours apart.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — A Wisconsin woman and her adult son were killed in separate traffic crashes just hours apart in a Milwaukee suburb, police said Monday.

Mary J. Moore, 45, died after she was struck by a vehicle on a street in West Allis. A friend was speeding her son, Thomas M. Olson, 22, to the hospital to see her when he struck three parked cars and overturned, West Allis Deputy Chief Charles Padgett said. Olson was killed in the crash about 5:30 a.m. Sunday.

Padgett said Olson knew his mother had been hit, but he wasn't sure if Olson knew she had died.

"It's emotional. We want to get there fast and sometimes disregard our safety," Padgett said. "I use it to remind people that regardless of the circumstances, be aware of the speed."

The driver of the car OIson was riding in was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. He and two other passengers suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Moore was hit as she lay prone in the street. A motorist following the car that struck her told police it looked as though the vehicle hit a speed bump, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's report. The witness did not realize that it was a person until getting closer, the report said.

Padgett said Moore had been drinking before she was hit, but it's not clear how much. An autopsy on her body was expected to be done Monday.

The driver that hit Moore drove off, but officers later found and arrested the person they believe is responsible. That driver may also have been drinking, authorities said.

"In my 24 years (of law enforcement), I've seen a lot of strange things, but don't specifically remember a case like this," Padgett said.

Super allergies, a worthy read:

Will 2040 be the year of the allergy apocalypse?

By: Tim Barribeau

Climate change could mean that your allergies are about to go into overdrive. A new study suggests that by 2040, pollen counts will have doubled — that's a hell of a lot of sneezing and scratchy eyes headed our way.

The research is set to be presented by Leonard Bielory by at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), and Beilory believes that climate change is set to bring about longer and worse allergy seasons in the coming decades. In a release, he said:

Climate changes will increase pollen production considerably in the near future in different parts of the country. Economic growth, global environment sustainability, temperature and human-induced changes, such as increased levels of carbon dioxide, are all responsible for the influx that will continue to be seen.

After comparing data from 2000 to forecasts for 2040, Beilory and his team believe the average pollen count will skyrocket from 8,455 to 21,735, and peak pollen will move back from May 1 to April 8 — almost an extra month of misery.

Anyone want to go in with me on a hermetically sealed, anti-pollen living space? Alternatively — Mars?
