Hundreds of Metro Detroiters are sporting a drastic, new look and they're proud! Men, women and children had their heads shaved in Romeo on Saturday to raise money for childhood cancer research.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Schwartz's report.
Blonde hair, red hair, even a head full of curls all met with the same fate at Romeo Lions Field House in Romeo. More than 500 brave souls all had their heads shaved during the 7th annual fundraiser for St. Balderick's.
"It's the most amazing event and being part of this is awesome," said Kerry Henderson.
She's one of 30 stylists who were buzzing away for more than four hours straight and of course they couldn't do it without volunteers -- like Dustin Tiemeyer who said goodbye to five years worth of curls.
"Oh, I'm sad and happy all at the same time," he said. "It's a great cause. I'm really happy to be here."
Shaving off your hair may seem like a bold step, but consider this: Every year, 175,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide and more children die from cancer than any other disease. That's why this event is both fun and emotional for everyone involved.
"I'm crying because I'm so happy and because I'm sad over my friend who passed away at the same time," said one participant.
Earlier this week some young people started things off having their heads shaved on live TV at fox 2. More than 1,500 of these parties take place around the world -- and this event in southeast Michigan is one of the largest. Participants are bald and beautiful and they have big hearts, like Jake Jacklyn who will go to school bald next week for a very good reason!
"So we can save people from cancer," Jake said.

Right to Left: Amy Van Hecke, Jeff Karst, Audrey Meyer
Bridget Dolan and Jeff Karst at St. Vincent de Paul Breakfast with Santa, December, 2011
Jeffrey Karst is from Sunburst, Montana and graduated with an undergraduate degree in psychology from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. He is currently in his fifth year of the clinical psychology doctoral program at Marquette under the advisement of Dr. Amy Van Hecke.
Jeff's primary research interests include Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), pediatric psychology, and parent and family functioning (see curriculum vitae below). Particularly, he is interested in how parents and caregivers are affected by having a child with an ASD, physical illness, or serious mental health concerns. In addition, he is interested in studying how parent and family involvement in various interventions can benefit both caregivers and children. Jeff completed his Master's Thesis, titled "Child and Caregiver Social Behavior and Joint Attention Change following PLAY Project Intervention" in October of 2010. His Doctoral Qualifying Exam, titled "Autism Intervention, Parent Involvement, and its Impact on Family Functioning, the Parent-Child Relationship, Parent Efficacy and Stress," was completed in the fall of 2011. An abbreviated version of this manuscript was recently published in Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review. For his dissertation, Jeff is examining how parent involvement in the Program for the Education & Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) affects parents and families of adolescents with Asperger Syndrome and high functioning autism. This project is supported by grants from the Marquette University Forward Thinking Program and the Organization for Autism Research.
Jeff began working with children with developmental disabilities as a junior in college. He then spent a year after graduation becoming certified and working as an intensive behavioral intervention therapist for a development disabilities agency in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Jeff currently provides therapy and assessment services at the Marquette Center for Psychological Services and the Marquette Autism Clinic, and also worked for two years in the Marquette ADHD Clinic. He completed an external neuropsychological assessment practicum at the Froedtert Child Neuropsychology Clinic in the 2010-2011 academic year, and is in his second year of an external therapy practicum in pediatric psychology at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin (CHW). Jeff has worked in several clinics at CHW, including Diabetes, Feeding, GI and Asthma, and is currently working in the Department of Hematology and Oncology. Jeff also taught a course in undergraduate statistics for the Marquette Department of Psychology and was named a Raynor Fellow for the 2012-2013 academic year.
In his free time, Jeff enjoys spending time with his family and friends, playing basketball, tennis, and golf, traveling, and watching Gonzaga basketball.

From a distance, the smooth-sided hemispherical object that appears on a hillock overlooking the main train line at Sanchi, 46km northeast of Bhopal, has the surreal air of an upturned satellite dish. In fact, the giant stone mound stands as testimony to a much older means of communing with the cosmos. Quite apart from being India's finest Buddhist monument, the Great Stupa is one of the earliest religious structures in the Subcontinent. It presides over a complex of ruined temples and monasteries that collectively provide a rich and unbroken record of the development of Buddhist art and architecture from the faith's first emergence in central India during the third century BC, until it was eventually squeezed out by the resurgence of Brahmanism during the medieval era.
Brief history
Unlike other famous Buddhist centres in eastern India and Nepal, Sanchi has no known connection with Buddha himself. It first became a place of pilgrimage when the Mauryan emperor Ashoka, who married a woman from nearby Besnagar, erected a polished stone pillar and brick-and-mortar stupa here midway through the third century BC. The complex was enlarged by successive dynasties, but after the eclipse of Buddhism, Sanchi lay deserted and overgrown until its rediscovery in 1818 by General Taylor of the Bengal Cavalry. In the following years a swarm of heavy-handed treasure hunters invaded the site, yet the explorer Sir Alexander Cunningham was the only one to find anything more than rubble; in 1851, he unearthed two soapstone relic boxes, containing bone fragments and bearing the names of two of Buddha's most noted followers, Sariputra and Maha-Mogalanasa. Historians equated the discovery with "finding the graves of Saints Peter and Paul". The find transformed Sanchi, for centuries neglected, into a Buddhist place of pilgrimage once again.
By the 1880s, amateur archeologists had left the ruins in a sorry state. Deep gouges gaped from the sides of stupas 1 and 2, a couple of ceremonial gateways had completely collapsed and much of the masonry was plundered by local villagers. Restoration work made little impact until 1912, when the jungle was hacked away, the main stupas and temples rebuilt, lawns and trees planted and a museum erected to house what sculpture had not been shipped off to Delhi or London.
Elsewhere around the enclosure
Elsewhere around the enclosure
Of the dozens of other numbered ruins around the 400m enclosure, only a handful are of more than passing interest. The smaller, plainer but immaculately restored Stupa 3, immediately northeast of Stupa 1, is upstaged by its slightly older cousin in every way but one. In 1851, a pair of priceless reliquaries was discovered deep in the middle of the mound. The caskets were found to contain relics belonging to two of Buddha's closest disciples. In one, fragments of bone were encased with beads made from pearls, crystal, amethyst, lapis lazuli and gypsum, while on the lid, the initial of the saint they are thought to have belonged to, Sariputra, was painted in ink. Previously kept in London's British Museum, both are now in the new Buddhist temple outside the stupa enclosure and are brought out for public view for one day in late November.
The eastern edge
From Stupa 3, pick your way through the clutter of pillars, small stupas and exposed temple floors nearby to the large complex of interconnecting raised terraces at the far eastern edge of the site. The most intact monastery of the bunch, Vihara 45, dates from the ninth and tenth centuries and has the usual layout of cells ranged around a central courtyard. Originally, a colossal, richly decorated sanctuary tower soared high above the complex, but this collapsed, leaving the inner sanctum exposed. The river goddesses Ganga and Yamuna number among the skilfully sculpted figures flanking the entrance to the shrine itself. Inside, Buddha still reigns supreme.
The enclosure's tenth-century eastern boundary wall is the best place from which to enjoy Sanchi's serene views. To the northeast, a huge, sheer-sided rock rises from the midst of Vidisha, near the site of the ancient city that sponsored the monasteries here (traces of the pilgrimage trail between Besnagar and Sanchi can still be seen crossing the hillside below). South from the hill, a wide expanse of well-watered wheat-fields stretches off towards the angular sandstone ridges of the Raisen escarpment.
The southern area
The southern area of the enclosure harbours some of Sanchi's most interesting temples. Pieces of burnt wood dug from the foundations of Temple 40 prove that the present apsidal-ended chaitya was built on top of an earlier structure contemporaneous with the Mauryan Stupa 1. Temple 17 is a fine example of early Gupta architecture and the precursor of the classical Hindu design developed later in Orissa and Khajuraho.
Before leaving the enclosure, hunt out the stump of Ashoka's Pillar on the right of Stupa 1's southern torana. The Mauryan emperor erected columns like this all over the empire to mark sacred sites and pilgrims' trails. Its finely polished shaft was originally crowned with the magnificent lion capital now housed in the site museum. The inscription etched around its base is in the Brahmi script, recording Ashoka's edicts in Pali, the early Buddhist language and forerunner of Sanskrit.
The western slope
A flight of steps beside Stupa 1 leads down the western slope of Sanchi hill to the village, passing two notable monuments. The bottom portions of the thick stone walls of Vihara 51 have been carefully restored to show its floorplan of 22 cells around a paved central courtyard. Further down, the second-century BC Stupa 2 stands on an artificial ledge, well below the main enclosure – probably because its relics were less important than those of stupas 1 and 3. The ornamental railings and gateways around it are certainly no match for those up the hill, although the carvings of lotus medallions and mythical beasts that decorate them are worth close scrutiny. The straps dangling from some of the horseriders' saddles are believed to mark the first appearance in India of stirrups.

|Full Product Review
by your Guide Elizabeth Kennedy
Photojournalist Zoran Milich has created a delightful book based on city signs. As children become aware that words mean something, they enjoy discovering words on street signs, on all kinds of vehicles, in store windows, on businesses, in parks, and in a variety of other outdoor settings. Playing word games with your children is a great way to get them excited about words and reading. It is particularly exciting when the setting provides a cue for the nonreader that allows the child to successfully identify the word.
Zoran Milich's "City Signs" provides page after page of opportunities (30 photographs in all) for children to have fun talking about pictures and identifying the word or words in them. The photographs all feature things that appeal to children, from horses and ice cream cones to pizza and a fire station. You'll be surprised and delighted at the responses you get when you ask your child to explain what is happening in each photograph.
The quality of Milich's photography is excellent. That he has a sense of humor is evident. Among my family's favorite photographs are the "RAILROAD CROSSING" sign in front of a miniature railroad for children and the horse standing right next to the "HORSES" sign. Some of his photographs not only show the words but illustrate specific actions, such as "push," "pull," "exit," and "enter."
You will want to share "City Signs" with your children for a variety of reasons, including
"City Signs" will be in bookstores in September, 2002. Kids Can Press is the publisher. (ISBN: 1553370031)

The Indiana Pacers and Paul George have agreed on a long-term deal. George is expected to be guaranteed $80 million and under the new collective bargaining agreement he can increase the value of his contract to more than $90 million if he were to make the All-NBA team or win an MVP award after the upcoming season.
A news conference is scheduled for today to announce the new deal with George.
He was drafted No. 8 overall in 2010 and was the most improved player from 2012 averaging 17.4 points per game.
The Pacers core now seems to be locked in. David West signed a three-year, $36 million deal this summer and last year Roy Hibbert signed a four-year deal worth $58 million.

Editors' review
WinPatrol is a security program intended to help clean up your computer and protect against spyware, worms, and other things that might harm it or slow it down.
This security software is certainly not for the novice computer user. It's different from other software that typically scans for threats, and that's where it can get confusing. If you know an above-average amount of information about computers, you'll probably find certain tabs -- like Startup Programs and Delayed Start -- useful, but it's going to take a period of learning to really know what to do with ones like Cookies, File Types, and Hidden Files. This software does offer some Internet security, which we appreciated. The alert sound (dog barking) is cute but annoying after a while. Fortunately, that can be turned off. There's also a Help page for every tab -- though some of the tabs are not available in the free version -- and much of the information and instructions are written in a witty style, so even though you're taking in a lot of new information it won't be too boring or highbrow to understand. You're just simply not going to be able to enjoy the full benefits of this software right away, however, if you don't know much about the inner workings of your computer.
The download process was easy and simple. There weren't any problems while installing, either, so we're willing to give this a good rating.
Publisher's Description
WinPatrol monitors and exposes adware, keyloggers, spyware, worms, cookies, and other malicious software. This program puts you back in control of your computer with no need for constant updates. WinPatrol's goal is to help you understand what programs are running on your computer and to alert you to any new programs added without your permission. Unlike traditional security programs, WinPatrol doesn't scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. Instead, it uses a heuristic behavioral approach, taking a snapshot of your critical system resources, and then alerting you to any changes that occur without your knowledge.

Version 28.6.2013 fixed options and reports menu issues, error restoring Shortcut or .lnk files that were removed but available in history file, and it has support for displaying a new Service type (Trigger Start) that is now supported by Windows 8.1.

The meeting's 35 participants met to endorse affordable, appropriate and suitable radiotherapy technologies and turn-key solutions for low and middle income Member States, and to discuss the preparation of guidelines for radiotherapy sales and service contracts to guarantee long-term radiotherapy functionality.
This meeting was the fourth in a series meant to address the shortfall of radiotherapy services in LMI countries. Radiotherapy is an essential component of treatment for many forms of cancer, but it is not accessible to many people in the developing world. Listen UN Radio Story

Nonfarm payroll employment was little changed in April (-20,000), following job losses that totaled 240,000 in the first 3 months of the year.
Job losses continued in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.
Employment grew in health care and in professional and technical services.
These data are from the BLS Current Employment Statistics program, and are seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent two months are preliminary. More information can be found in "The Employment Situation: April 2008" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 08-0588.

What Jenny McCarthy and the Taliban Have In Common
The recent selection of Jenny McCarthy for a spot on The View has angered vaccinators and people who support childhood vaccination. Her opposition to vaccination, however, puts her in company with the most notorious anti-vaxxers of modern times — the Taliban.
The coordinated murders of community health care workers in Pakistan, most of them women, in May has once again put into jeopardy the global polio eradication initiative. While the movement initially experienced exponential progress, it now finds itself trapped in an increasingly bloody battle with Islamic fundamentalists. When a female health worker wakes up in the morning, puts on her shalwar kameez, covering her head and most of her face in a dupatta, she is getting in gear to step out on to the front lines of one of the most important and dangerous wars of our time.
The global battle against polio lends itself well to the grisly metaphors of war. In many ways, the world-wide campaign to eradicate the disease has mirrored the fight against terrorism.

We're adding one week to the deadline to get Broun and Barr award entries in the mail. Because of delays in getting our new NewsGuild.org website up, we know some of you didn't get the information as quickly as we intended. Please make sure your entries are postmarked by next Friday, Feb. 3.
2011 Heywood Broun Award – Eligibility and Requirements
2012 David S. Barr Award – Eligibility and Requirements with Application
First presented in 1941, the Broun Award not only is among the most long-lived and most honored journalism prizes, but in an age of team-generated, prize-targeting projects still specifically seeks to honor individual effort. Moreover, the Broun Award prizes above all else the kind of journalism that makes a difference—reporting that "helps right a wrong or correct an injustice."
Take this year's winner, for example. David Evans, a senior writer for Bloomberg Markets magazine and former trial attorney for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, was presented with the 69th annual Heywood Broun Award at an Oct. 20 ceremony outside Baltimore for his disclosures of war-time profiteering by dozens of life insurance companies. With more than $28 billion in death benefits at stake, Evans' reporting in 2010 resulted in swift changes at the Veterans Administration—as well as shining a harsh light on the corrosively self-serving actions of corporate lobbyists.
Similarly, this year's two awards of substantial distinction went to a three-part series on the sometimes tawdry world of bail bondsmen—and their lobbyists—and to a five-part series that profiled the level of medical treatment Las Vegas residents can expect from their hospitals. Both series resulted in legislative reform efforts.
The postmark deadline for each year's Broun entries is the last Friday in January, which in 2012 will be Jan. 27. Entries should be of work largely published or broadcast in calendar year 2011 and require a supporting letter explaining the circumstances behind the entry and its consequences. First prize is a plaque and $5,000 prize, plus up to two awards of $1,000 each to runner-up entries "of substantial distinction."
Sharing the spotlight with the Broun Award each year is the David S. Barr Award, which is presented to one high school and one college journalism entry for reporting that promotes issues of importance to working people and that contributes to the pursuit of justice and fairness. This year's high school winners, the team of Ben Breuner and Michael Weinstein, won for a five-part series documenting how their local police department had been profiling teenagers. College winner Meagan Gillmore reported on the demolition of a historic downtown—and in contrast to official assurances of economic revitalization, focused on the people whose lives were upended by the project.
The Barr entries also have a Jan. 27 postmark deadline, but unlike Broun entries—which may be submitted by anyone on behalf of anyone—must be supported by a faculty member's statement. The awards include plaques and a $500 prize at the high school level, $1,500 for the college winner. Additional information about preparing entries for both awards can be found at the TNG-CWA website, www.newsguild.org.
Both awards are named after formative influences in the Newspaper Guild's development. Heywood Broun was the Guild's founding spirit, its first president, a highly successful crusading newspaper columnist, a Congressional candidate on the Socialist ticket and a mensch. His outlook may have been summarized best in a 1933 passage when he wrote, "I am a little sick and tired of being classed as soft, bourgeois and sentimental if I say that human brotherhood could solve overnight the problems concerning which men shake their heads and say, 'It's too bad but insurmountable.' "
David Barr was more recently, and for a great many years, the Guild's general counsel—and more importantly, its mentor and moral compass.

Chicago Bears ticket scalpers are finding minimal success in moving football tickets for the anticipated showdown this Sunday. With prices initially starting out at $500 each for nosebleed seats, ticket demand has yet to take a dent out of ticket supply. If you are thinking about buying football tickets for the epic showdown, wait until Friday and Saturday (1-20 update – maybe the scalpers have been reading this article and have started to panic, prices have really started to fall now and are in the low $300′s so as you see good bargains, snatch them up knowing you saved 40%). By then ticket scalpers will continuously drop their prices to avoid being left hawking their tickets in front of Soldier Field on Sunday.
On Monday January 17th, plenty of tickets were available for sale on Stubhub, TicketsNow (ties into NFL Ticket Exchange), Ticket Networks, and RazorGator. Below are # of tickets and cheapest price per ticket for at least two tickets:
***Sunday am update, the price drop ROLLS ON!!!! We broke the $300 barrier. Bears tickets on TicketNetwork now are at $267!!! These tickets are in section 442 row 29 and the lowest price all week. TicketNetwork guarantees their tickets, so unless you know someone on the street, would be a much more secure transaction. TicketsNow also has tickets for $314. Tickets at these level are pretty incredible bargains compared to Sunday at $500 – 40%+ price drop. From late Thursday afternoon to Saturday, ticket prices haven't dropped much past the low $300′s so appears the scalpers are having to price the nosebleeds from $300-$345 to be able to sell their Bears tickets. Season Ticket holders on TicketsNow dropped prices down to $315 as game time is approaching and realizing they need to move their tickets.
TicketsNow (NFL Ticket Exchange)
Day Tickets avail. Cheapest Price per ticket
Monday 2,865 $460
Tuesday 3,015 $450
Wed. AM 3,055 $461
Wed. 3pm 2,951 $407
Wed. 11pm 3,152 $400
Thurs AM 3,056 $375
Thurs 4pm 3,084 $343
Thur 10pm 2,745 $340
Fri. 10am 2,596 $325
Fri. 5pm 1,710 $330
Sat 4am 1,566 $330
Sat 11am 1,433 $300
Sat 5pm 1,014 $335
Sat 9pm 826 $315
Sun 10am 466 $314
As the game draws closer and if the number of tickets available is stagnant, prices will certainly drop. I will update the number of tickets available and cheapest price per ticket each day.
TicketNetwork has been lower and the cheapest seats are now at $267. Tuesday evening the lowest price was $432, by Wednesday afternoon they were down to $388 – the sale is definitely on!!! As prices dropped to the low $300′s, buyers have been picking them up.
Over the same time period, RazorGator has seen the cheapest pair drop from $470 down to $343 and total number of tickets hasn't moved much from 2,283 to 1,751. Friday am update – with the FedEx deadline passed, RazorGator has less of a selection. Best deals will be on TicketsNow and TicketNetworks.
Football ticket prices for the Chicago Bears divisional playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks experienced a major collapse. Seats in Section 107 row 13 went for $695 on January 2nd and by January 11th went for $300. Great seats in Section 239 row 9 sold for $750 on Dec. 28th and by January 14th were going for $250. Have some patience and avoid jumping the gun to early in buying your NFC Championship football tickets.
This is awesome! Do you guys think they will keep dropping until sat? Or do you think people are going to start buying earlier that that?
Your write-up is a good trend analysis on ticket prices, but you are not mentioning that these sites charge $60-70 per ticket to close, in addition to a $20 shipping fee. Our ticket price is above $430 right now for nosebleads using this site, if lucky.
I still think the best indicator is eBay, since its true market value. Tickets there are going for $380-$400 each (a huge drop, like your article states, from one to days ago). I am also curious, do you expect tickets to continue dropping until game time or pick up with gametime urgency?
[...] I agree – if tix go below $300, think my wife will let me go. keep tumbling down… Chicago Bears NFL Football Tickets Overpriced ready to drop | Sports on a Dime [...]
[...] Tickets going below $300? I'm hoping there are a few scalpers/sellers that panic and drop their prices below $300 and maybe can convince my wife. Been good to see a 40% drop, just need little more decline. Chicago Bears NFL Football Tickets Overpriced ready to drop | Sports on a Dime [...]

Bailed Barton: I'm going on holiday
Jun 05 2012
Premier League footballer Joey Barton is on his way to Portugal for a holiday after being released from police custody on Monday night following his arrest for affray.
The Queens Park Rangers midfielder, 29, was involved in trouble in the early hours of Monday while on a night out with his girlfriend in Liverpool city centre.
Two men aged 21 and from the Old Swan area of Liverpool were arrested on suspicion of a public order offence at around 5.30am at the scene of the incident, outside Garlands nightclub in the city.
But after they were held in custody and questioned, Barton and a 20-year-old man were also arrested. Barton was released on bail by Merseyside Police pending further inquiries.
The three other men were bailed earlier.
A statement from the force said: "Merseyside Police can confirm that the 29-year-old man arrested on suspicion of affray has been released on bail pending further inquiries."
Barton, who has become well known for his opinionated Twitter outbursts, on Monday night indicated he was going on holiday. He tweeted: "Looking forward to Portugal now tomo. Bit of rest and lots of golf..."
Earlier on Monday, the Liverpool-born midfielder confirmed the incident by tweeting: "I got sucker punched in the back of the head. Not injured as reported just a small bruise on rear of head/ear. I've had worse. Life goes on! Thanks for the concern. Have a good day people."

I have recently found the wonders and delights of this product. These disposable contact lenses come in an array of vibrant and exciting shades from the other side of the colour spectrum, that range from blues to greens to browns to vivid turquoise and sapphire blue.
I procured my excellent lenses from my local optician plus the disposable contact prepared and altered them. I've both turquoise and violet. The fit is magnificent, the comfort is brilliant and my ability to observe the women whilst I traverse my odd and curious haunts around London, has not been deterred in the slightest. On the contrary, I consider not only am I more attractive to the ladies with my lenses that are coloured and dazzling, but I'm able to differentiate their features more clearly as my vision is substantially improved when they are worn.
Prior to my wearing Cibi Lenses, I was, I consider, less attractive to the female. I've discovered as the ladies stare that they are actually not able to tear their eyes away from my visage, fixated, into my adoring and doting violet or turquoise eyes. The compliments are numerous along with the sighs are plentiful, as the women are brought to my extreme stares and come hither expression.
I've discovered these magnificent lenses are able to supply me with perfect vision without irritation or pain for as much as a maximum of 7 hours. They are unproblematic remove or to insert and cause me no distress whatsoever.
An evening of vigorous and lively dancing in Club de Fromage won't dislodge the lens from my eye, and I'm free to meander the joy of my favorite club and impress the captivating females of my preference, safe in the knowledge that my eyes will stay undamaged.
I have been wearing prescription contact lenses for over 5 years and I recently decided to get some coloured contact lenses. Having quite a dark brown iris I really wanted to know how changing the colour of my eyes would affect my overall appearance.
The contacts comes in different colours such as green, blue, brown and grey. These are daily disposable lenses so the lenses are worn for a day and then they are thrown away at the end of the day. I choose the grey colour after trying a pair of trial lenses. They looked pretty good and so I ordered 10 pairs of them. They seemed to give a nice natural colour but this is probably because I have quite large pupils and my iris is quite dark so its not so obvious that I am wearing lenses. They really aren't suitable for those with a small pupil AND light iris because the true colour will still be seen. The diameter is very large of the iris colour on the contact lens and so those with larger pupils will get a more natural colour. I got mine from my local opticians for £20 and this seems pretty expensive but if you choose the monthly ones they are much cheaper. I don't like cleaning the lenses and prefer to have a fresh pair of lenses each day.
When I tried the contact lenses for the day they instantly transformed my eyes and my face. The colour of the contacts seemed to brighten my face and my eyes. My eyes where defined and bright. There was a major problem though that I found with these lenses is that the material is hydrogel and has a high water content, so this means it dehydrates really quickly and as I have dry eyes this makes it worse. I find that the lens stick to my eye making it very difficult to remove the lenses and so subsequently I don't wear my contacts for that long.
The main reason for getting coloured contacts was because I have brown eyes and think that this quite boring. The contacts did make my eyes brighter but the material is of poor quality and they exasperated my dry eyes. I did use drops to help with the symptoms but they didn't work very well. If the contacts where made from silicone hydrogel then I am certain that they would be more comfortable. The market for coloured lenses is not huge and this is the primary reason that these lenses have not been upgraded to a silicon hydrogel. I have stopped using them as they are unhealthy for my eyes but they may work better with those who have a better ocular surface.
After recommendation from my optometrist that the lenses are making my dry eye worse I have discontinued use. For those looking for an occasional colour change then this is the best product but it does depend on your eyes, so ask your optometrist first.
I am one of those people who is never happy with the way I look and always wanting to change something. It's just a good job I can't afford plastic surgery, as no doubt I'd end up looking like Pete Burns! Last year I convinced myself that I needed (not wanted, needed) to have brown eyes. My grey-blue eyes just weren't cutting it! I have pale skin and dye my hair dark and I figured that dark eyes would look much better on me.
I wear contact lenses most days as I have really poor vision and set about trying to find some coloured lenses online. I wear daily disposables and although I have in the past used the washable lenses I simply don't like them, so looked specifically for daily disposable coloured lenses. The only make I could find were the Ciba Vision freshlook dailies. These are prescription soft lenses, so you will need to know what your prescription is before you buy them.
Unfortunately the choice of colours available for the one day lenses was more limited than with the washable ranges. As far as I can tell there are only four colour options - Pure Hazel, Blue, Green and Grey. As I wanted brown eyes I went for Pure Hazel, although would have opted for a darker brown if there had been that option available.
The lenses come boxed and you get 10 lenses per box (two strips of five), and obviously as you need to wear two at a time (unless you're going for the one eyed look!) then this will give you five days of wear.
The lenses come in a blister pack like any other contact lenses would and they actually have a coloured eye printed onto each lens. Rather than being a solid colour it is printed to look like an actual iris, to make it look more natural when you're wearing the lenses. To be honest this actually looks slightly terrifying when you remove the strip of lenses from the box as it's like there's five little brown eyes staring up at you!
When it came to putting the lenses in I found them to be very comfortable and they felt no different to wearing my usual lenses. They were in no way scratchy and nor did they become dry or irritated at any point.
The colour was quite strong and they did make my eyes look like they were brown - there was no hint of the blue coming through. One thing I did notice was that the size of the coloured iris printed onto the lens, was slightly bigger than the actual iris of my eye. This meant that you could see less white of my eye, making my eyes look smaller. I guess this is just because different people have different sized eyes and I suppose it's better than having the coloured part be too small, as no doubt that would look even stranger. Other than that I did think that they looked fairly natural, although having gone 26 years with blue eyes, it took a bit of getting used to when looking in the mirror!
I remember the first time I wore these I went out for an evening meal with some friends. The restaurant was dimly lit and I remember thinking that my vision was very slightly blurry. It happened the second time I wore them too, so I got on the internet and discovered the cause, which is actually quite obvious when you think about it...
When you're in a dark place your pupil expands to let in more light. Obviously as these lenses have a pattern of an eye printed onto them, when your pupils dilate unfortunately it is possible for the pattern to actually cover the pupil very slightly which will obscure your vision. I must say this was only very slight and it didn't stop me from seeing completely, it was just that now and again things would seem to blur just a little bit. Due to this little problem, these are probably more suited to wearing during the day, which is a shame as I think most people would probably choose to wear coloured contact lenses for nights out.
As these are one day lenses you simply need to take them out and throw them away when you're done. You can't sleep in them, and they can't be put in solution to re-use either.
Like all daily disposables these are a bit more expensive than the washable lenses. They cost £13 for a box of 10 and I bought mine from www.contactlenses.co.uk. Although it's a site I've only used once I was impressed with the service and would recommend it.
I do like these lenses and I do think that they are a bit of fun for when you fancy a change. The price is too high for me to want to wear them every day so I do keep them for special occasions. It's a little bit of a shame that they can obscure your vision a bit at night, but they're comfortable to wear and the fact you throw them away after one use makes them more hygienic too. They're not perfect but I would recommend them if you want to change your look.

Fortunately, they were able to accommodate my request and moved me to suite 2193, which was fantastic. No pole, and the balcony was covered. I believe this suite may be categorized as an "obstructed view", but that may be due to a support strut on the side of the ship, but the view was perfect. Also, the glass fence around the balcony is clear where the balcony glass in 1667 was frosted. If sitting on the balcony chairs on 1667, one would not be able to see through the glass and the view. Also, 1667 has an uncovered balcony. 2193 with its covered balcony brought protection from the wind and rain, as well as the sun. It was great. I was worried about the suite being located
Directly below the Ocean View Cafe and the accompanying noise, shuffling of chairs, etc, but I did not hear any disrupting sounds. I did like being on the 12th floor and close to the Aqua Spa.
The numerous Spa treatments I had were all excellent. The therapists were very professional and I was thoroughly relaxed after my massages, wraps and facials. One note: the Spa is located directly below the gym and free weights were being dropped on the floor! My therapist had to leave the room and try to negotiate the gym users to not drop the weights on the floor. I left a guest comment card suggesting that free weight use be prohibited during Spa hours or the free weight room relocated away from above the Spa. It is truly hard to relax with 90 pounds or more being dropped on the floor above you.
Murano remains my favorite restaurant . Veronique, Nikolai and Denis provided outstanding service and catered to my every whim. I had Chateaubriand, lamp chops, caviar, crab and avocado parfait, goat cheese souffle and more during my four visits to Murano and it is impossible to select a favorite.
Also had dinner at the Lawn Club Grill and Qsine. I enjoyed the New York steak at the Grill. It was cooked to perfection and the lobster Mac and cheese was delicious. The service felt a lot frenetic, but was friendly.
Overall, I had a great trip and look forward to my next Celebrity Cruise.

Mashpee/UCT Hockey Splits First Two Games
By: Rich Maclone, December 19, 2013
A three-goal third period opened the game up for victorious Cohasset on Wednesday night against the Mashpee/Upper Cape Tech boys' ice hockey team. Chris Donnan scored a pair of goals, just a minute apart, to lead the fray against the Falcons, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 3-0 one for M/UCT just as the middle period had passed its second minute. Late in the second the Skippers got another to make it 4-0 as they went on to take a 5-1 win.
Mashpee is now 1-1 to start the season, Cohasset is 3-0. While M/UCT certainly would have preferred a better outcome, the loss did see improvement for the team over their clashes with Cohasset from a year ago. During the previous campaign, CHS won the two games by scores of 7-1 and 8-0.
M/UCT goalie Tony Visconte stopped 25 shots in the game.
The Falcons did cut into the Cohasset lead midway through the third period, making it a 4-1 game. Ben Daigneault netted his first of the year, finishing off assists from Aiden Sullivan and Cam Ventre. CHS finished the scoring with 45 seconds left on the game clock.
The Falcons began their season with a quality victory on Saturday night against Pope John Paul II. Behind a two-goal performance by Aidan Sullivan, the Falcons scored a 5-4 win to secure their first points of the year in the standings.
The game went back-and-forth through much of the first two periods, but Mashpee was able to take a 4-2 led into the second intermission thanks to a three-goal outburst, two of which came of the stick of Sullivan. M/UCT took a 2-1 lead on Sullivan's first of the night, which was an absolute snipe from the bottom of the left wing circle. The big forward took the puck deep, breaking over the blue line, and let it fly from a tough angle, about 15 feet to the right of goalie Seamus McArdle. The goalie hugged the nearside pipe, but Sullivan rattled the puck in off the far side iron to make it 2-1 at the 3:07 mark of the frame.
Less than two minutes later the Lions squared the game at 2-2. Patrick Connolly poked one through traffic and under Tony Visconte for PJP2.
The back-and-forth action continued, though. Mashpee/UCT added two more in the second to seemingly take control of the game. Cam Ventre did his best Bobby Orr impersonation at the 6:29 mark of the second, slipping one by the goalie while going airborne across the crease. Ventre had his fist pumping in celebration before crashing to the ice. Two minutes later Sullivan made it 4-2 with an equally pretty goal. Sullivan was set up behind the PJP2 goal and took a quick feed from Ventre, wrapping the puck in from behind the cage.
The two-goal lead didn't last very long once the third period began, though. Connolly's second of the game came just 47 seconds into the stanza, cutting the Falcons' edge to a single goal. They were able to increase it back to two with 5:05 remaining on a nice shot by Nick White, who was assisted by Sean Kelso
Leading 5-3, things looked good for the Falcons, but PJP2 certainly made things interesting late. M/UCT was attempting to kill the clock while enjoying a 5-on-3 power play late in the game, but a costly turnover occurred just as the first man was exiting the penalty box. Ryan Corcoran sprinted out of the penalty box and was sent in alone against Visconte, beating the goalie with just 1:58 to play to make it 5-4.

Visconte lost that battle, but came up big seconds later. Connolly was attempting to finish off a hat trick, and tie the game, with just 50 seconds to play. The Lion wristed one for the upper near corner, but the Falcons' netminder snared the puck out of the air to preserve the victory.
Each team had scored a goal in the first period. Mashpee struck first when a shot from the point by Eric Garrison deflected off a PJP2 stick and found the back of the net. A minute later the home team tied the score.
Next up for the Falcons is a trip to Rockland Arena to face Abington High School tomorrow night. Game time is 6 PM.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kevin Ware strolled into the University of Louisville Cardinal Caravan stop at Captains Quarters Tuesday night to the surprise of a crowd of about 1,000, which gave him a standing ovation when he climbed up to the podium.Ware says he's doing well. When asked about his hoped for return date, he said, "Start of practice. No reason not to."I asked him if he was in any pain, and he said, "Yeah, I just had my wisdom teeth pulled and it hurts." To which I replied, "No, in your leg. Is there any pain there?" He said, "No. No pain there."Ware got up and thanked fans and supporters for all of the well-wishes he's received. "I wouldn't have bounced back this fast if not for so many peoples' prayers and encouragement."Ware has not watched video of the injury, and says he never will. But every day, he said, he's dismayed by people who post the picture of the injury to his Twitter or Instagram accounts or send him links to the YouTube video of the gruesome injury that occurred in the Midwest Regional Final against Duke. If it's not that, they're sending him jokes making light of the injury."Idiots," Ware said. "It's annoying. I say that so maybe people will stop sending it and making jokes and being negative about it."Ware, as reported here a couple of days ago, is back in the gym shooting jump shots. Rick Pitino isn't allowed to watch the players play, but he saw a lone guy shooting jump shots in the gym on Monday and had to do a double take, then ask someone in the office, "Hey, is that Kevin shooting jumpers in the gym?""He was actually shocked," Ware said. "He called my name."Ware said he's continually amazed by the outpouring, both national and local, on his behalf. When asked if he could remember the moment he went down, he said, "Yeah. I can remember everything." When asked what he thought of his teammates' emotional reactions, he said, "Yeah, I remember the crybabies."In addition to his appearance on stage and his thank you to the fans, Ware had one more big applause line when asked about what the key will be for U of L in the coming season."Definitely ego," Ware said. "We're coming off two Final Fours the last two years. If we have ego, we'll be in the NIT like Kentucky. So we have to stay humble, and we have to stay together."I had a chance recently to read through the bins and bins of mail that came to Kevin Ware after his injury, and will write more about it soon on WDRB.com.U OF L NAMES NEW SENIOR WOMAN ADMINISTRATOR: Julie Hermann still finds herself amid a mess as the new athletic director at Rutgers, but U of L appears to have moved on. At an athletic board meeting Tuesday, it named Christine Krellwitz its new senior woman administrator and assistant athletic director. It's part of a sweeping reorganization of the department's top level directly under Tom Jurich. Official announcements are expected in the coming days.ZACH PRICE TO TRANSFER: University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino says center Zach Price will leave the program after two seasons."There's no uncertainty to it, Zach is going to transfer," Pitino said. "We wish him well, Godspeed. We're a deep basketball team and we respect anybody's decision that wants to play a lot. Certainly he didn't play a whole lot for us and wasn't a major factor in what we do and felt that going elsewhere he could be a major factor. We wish him the best."AN ANNIVERSARY: Yesterday was a big day for me. It marked one year since I quit the newspaper business (along with Rick Bozich) and today marks one year since I joined WDRB television. I'll have a column looking back at the year sometime this afternoon. It was also a big day for another reason -- we shipped the book manuscript for Rick Pitino's next book to the publisher. The book will be available Oct. 1. I'll have more on that project as the time for publication gets closer.Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

-- Robert Preidt
SATURDAY, April 30 (HealthDay News) -- Aspirin's ability to
prevent potentially deadly blood clots may be hindered by elevated
levels of fatty acids in the bloodstream, a new study suggests.
It's common for doctors to prescribe aspirin as a blood thinner
for patients at high risk of a heart attack. Aspirin inhibits the
activity of the COX-1 enzyme, which plays a role in blood clot
It's known that free fatty acids -- released into the
bloodstream during the breakdown of fat cells -- also inhibit COX-1
In this study, researchers looked at the effect that two fatty
acids -- oleic acid and palmitic acid -- have on aspirin's
effectiveness in preventing clots. Oleic acid is found in various
animal and vegetable fats, and palmitic acid is one of the most
common saturated fats found in plants and animals.
The researchers found that both types of fatty acids interfered
with aspirin's ability to reduce the risk of clots, according to an
American Heart Association news release.
The study was to be presented Saturday at the American Heart
Association's Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology
2011 Scientific Sessions in Chicago.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data
and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in
a peer-reviewed journal.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for November 6, 2013 at 5:00 am. Grain futures edge higher as a weather system drives farmers from the fields. Talk of export business is providing support although the expectation of negative numbers from the USDA limits any rallies.
Weather forecasts are for normal Fall, wet and cold, conditions for the next few days are followed by drier, warmer conditions. Argentina is getting rain where they needed and Brazil continues with soybean plantings.
Traders are discussing recent newswire polls that put corn yield under 159 bushels per acre. Some think that USDA yield and total production estimates could lead to nothing but a bearish report. Likely a reason for limited strength before Friday's report.
(Reuters) – The trustee of MF Global's defunct brokerage received approval from a bankruptcy judge on Tuesday for a plan that will repay its former commodity trader customers in full.
The Goldman roll will begin on Thursday as well as the DOW roll. Index funds are rebalancing which means they are believed to be adding to long positions in corn.
South Korea and Egypt are tendering for wheat on the world market.
Yesterday's USDA hog slaughter was 436,000 which was the largest work load in almost a year. Pork cutout values were down 1.08 on Tuesday. Cash hogs are down over $5.00 in the past week.
Cattle slaughter is about 12,000 head below last week's level. Normally, some of this drop in production is made up by cow slaughter. However cow slaughter over the past 4 weeks is 10% less than last year. Choice beef was down .11 and select was down 1.08 yesterday. The CME Feeder Index is 164.63 up .11.

text: SEATTLE (AP) - A marksman last month killed the alpha male of a wolf pack that had repeatedly attacked a rancher's cattle. The shooting put an end to the so-called Wedge pack, but it did little to quell the controversy over wolves in Washington state. The issue has been so explosive that state wildlife officials received death threats and the head of the Fish and Wildlife Commission warned the public at a recent hearing in Olympia on wolves that uniformed and undercover officers were in the room ready to act. More conflicts between wolves and livestock are inevitable, officials say, as wolves in Washington recover, growing in number more quickly than expected. The animals numbered a handful in 2008, and are now estimated at between 80 and 100.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

A worldwide leader in ecotourism, Costa Rica is known for its rich biodiversity, myriad ecosystems, and not to mention its warm and welcoming people. Learn more about this vibrant country firsthand with our Costa Rica volunteer program.
...Costa Rica is known for its rich biodiversity...
While this incredible environmental richness is a national treasure, it also brings with it some interesting social and economic challenges, such as an increasing percentage of regional immigration. Costa Rica's reputation for social stability, along with its free education and universal healthcare, has drawn the attention of international trading partners, as well as immigrants from other Central American countries seeking better lives. As the economy changes, so do traditional social structures, which abandon vulnerable populations and leave them little access to healthcare, education, or social services. As a Cross-Cultural Solutions volunteer abroad in Costa Rica, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside local organizations as they work to address these societal issues.
As a volunteer in Costa Rica, you'll assist with the care of infants and children, improve education for children, improve health and the sense of dignity among the elderly, or work to improve the quality of care for people with disabilities. As a CCS Costa Rica volunteer, you'll contribute your time and passion to a local organization working to effect real and lasting change. No matter where you spend your time as a Costa Rica volunteer, your unique energy will offer a refreshing change of pace to under-resourced local organizations.

Greetings, on behalf of the entire Graduate Students' Association (GSA) executive of 2013-2014, I would like to welcome you to the new school year. If you are new to Brock University you are especially welcomed. You have decided to join a vibrant and growing graduate community nestled in the beautiful Niagara Region. The GSA is dedicated to making your time at Brock as fruitful and enjoyable as possible through our advocacy, social events, programming and community outreach. The executive has developed a strategic approach to tackle issues, that we feel, affect the majority of graduate students. I am excited to unveil our major touchstones that we will focus on during this year.
1) Community Outreach
The number of graduate students has rapidly increased at Brock University and we want to show the community and Niagara region that we care. To achieve this we are planning two fund raising initiatives: a fall formal with all proceeds going to a local charity and a second event to raise funds for a worthy international cause. For the holiday season, a Christmas shoebox drive is planned to give needy children a gift to open during the holiday season. If anybody has any ideas or charities they are passionate about please feel free to bring it up at our council meetings or contact a GSA executive member.
2) Student Supervisor Relations
The relationship that a graduate student has with her/his supervisor is a major defining feature of their academic life. For most of us, the mentorship role played by our supervisor is excellent and develops without any issues. In the unfortunate cases when it doesn't, students often find it difficult to address the situation and feel trapped. We want to continue with the excellent work done by last year's executive to create an equitable system for both students and supervisors.
3) Professional Development
During our studies, the major focus is our research which is the fundamental reason we have decided to pursue graduate studies. That being said, in today's job market employers are looking for more than just an academic background. More than ever, recent graduates are required to have finely honed professional skills involving resumes, interviews, conflict resolution, delegation skills, entrepreneurial, etc. In addition, many graduate students are not sure what to do when they're finished with their education. The GSA would like to help! We are working with Faculty of Graduate Studies on professional development programs. Near the end of the year we are planning a day where professionals from different backgrounds will give talks and answer questions about their background and how they achieved professional success.
4) Graduate Space
If you have spent time on campus it is not hard to see that space is an issue for everybody. With the increases in graduate student numbers it is important to find a long term solution to our space issues. Grads need space to hang out, unwind and engage one another in order to build a true collegial atmosphere for us at Brock. The GSA will be actively working the Faculty of Graduate Studies and senior administration to address our space needs.
5) Student Health
Let's face it, it's stressful being a grad student. We have to balance being a student, researcher, TA and possibly a parent. On top of this we need to find time to do the things outside of university life that make us happy. It is a very delicate balance. When this balance is upset it is important to have the support you need whether it be friends, family or a counselor. The GSA is putting together events to relax such as socials, pub nights and movie nights. In addition, we want to advocate for stronger support for graduate students living with mental health issues.
Last but not least, we want you to know that we are here for you! You are encouraged to come out and get involved by coming to our events, sitting on council, joining committees and volunteering in our outreach programs. If you have any issues or ideas you want to share with us feel free to contact an executive member or the GSA office. If you find yourself around C block come in and drop by the office MCC 302. Have a great year, we hope to see you.

I, along with everyone, was SHOCKED to hear that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West REALLY DID name their daughter North West... I mean, REALLY?!?!?
But I guess this latest rumors makes it at least somewhat understandable...Sources close to the couple have told TMZ that they chose the name North because they see it as a metaphor for "up", telling friends, "What's North of North? Nothing." Translation ... nothing better.
TMZ reports: "the duo believes baby North is their highest point together as a couple ..."

City-Wide Pothole Repair Blitz Begins
Crews to Fill Potholes Every Day in March
LOUISVILLE (March 6, 2007) – Starting tomorrow, crews from the Louisville Metro Division of Streets and Roads will begin a month-long, city-wide pothole repair blitz. During the blitz, crews expect to cover 1,000 miles of road and fill 3,500 potholes.
Each day in March, weather permitting, ten crews made up of five employees will concentrate on filling potholes and pavement failures created by the weather. Pothole teams will begin work in the center of the city and work their way out to the far corners of the community in a methodical fashion. Each crew is assigned specific geographic areas.
On Wednesday, March 7 at 10:30 a.m., reporters and photographers can see crews in action on Wenzel Street between Liberty and Market streets. There will also be several opportunities available for interviews. For more information about this media availability, contact Allison Martin at 574-1909.
Pothole Facts & Figures
Potholes are created when moisture penetrates and collects in depressions and cracks in the asphalt. The freezing and thawing process during the winter creates weak spots in the pavement that become craters as cars travel over the road.
Last year the city filled 13,926 potholes and filled 202,895 square feet of road surface, which translates into 4.7 acres of asphalt.
So far this year, crews have filled 2,513 potholes and filled 15,605 square feet of asphalt. A relatively mild winter this year has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of potholes reported, when compared to prior years.
Streets and Roads employees will fill potholes on roads that are maintained by the city. The Kentucky Department of Transportation is responsible for filling potholes on interstates, expressways and major thoroughfares, such as Bardstown Road and Dixie Highway.
Residents who would like to a report a pothole should call MetroCall 311 or visit the "I want to" section of www.LouisvilleKy.gov. Crews will make every effort to fill the pothole within 48 hours, weather permitting.
