Karen Breitenbeker, of Centerville, was kidding. She wasn't really surprised, since her grandson, Andrew Tulin, comes from a long line of redheads.
Breitenbeker has red hair, just like her mother and grandfather. She passed it on to her daughter, Nicole Tulin, who passed it on to Andrew.
Andrew, who is 4 years old, says having red hair is good. His mother agrees, but she didn't always feel that way.
"When I was in school, some kids were kind of mean about it," said Nicole Tulin, of Woods Cross.
So she tried to change her hair.
"When I went through beauty school, I did everything in the book to it, because I did hate it," she admits. "But I grew to love it, and love it now -- it's all natural."
In fact, she says, people want to copy her auburn hue.
"I went to Las Vegas, and was walking through a casino when one of the workers stopped me and asked what color I use on my hair," she said.
Breitenbeker isn't quite as thrilled about being a redhead.
"I remember walking home from school, and older kids would tease me," she said. "I still think that's part of the reason I don't like it."
She didn't like being called "Red," and she didn't like getting extra attention.
"People would say, 'You have such pretty hair,' and I used to put my hands over my head and say, 'Don't look at my hair,' " she remembers.
She still hasn't gotten used to it.
"I feel like when I go somewhere, I'm the only one who has red hair," she said.
Little redheads
Redheads are rare, making up just 1 percent to 2 percent of the world's population, so they do attract attention.
That's why Nicole Giladi wrote, "Little Redheads Across America" (Redhead Publishing, 2008). She wanted her son Sammy, who has bright copper-colored hair, to feel not just different, but special.
Giladi, of Granada Hills, Calif., gathered photos of red-haired kids from every state, using e-mails passed mom to mom.
The Utah page features Emma Mychajlonka, a 5-year-old from Ogden, and Andrew Tulin, then 3 and living in Bountiful. Time has passed since the book was put together; Mychajlonka is now 7 and living in Gilbert, Ariz., and Tulin is 4 and lives in Woods Cross. Both children enjoy looking through the book, to see themselves and other kids.
The book isn't just about showing young redheads that they aren't alone; it explores some of the challenges of having red hair.
Fiery tempers
People have some strange ideas about red hair, including that it's lucky to rub a redhead's hair, and unlucky to be in a redhead's shadow.
A lot of people believe redheads have fiery tempers -- even some redheads.
"Both me and my son have little tempers," said Nicole Tulin, "So, I think there's a truth to it."
Emma Mychajlonka has a fiery personality that goes with her hair, according to her mom.
"But I'm sure with any child it's probably the same," said Emma's mom, Danielle Mychajlonka. "It's like a roller coaster -- you strap in and hang on for the ride, because there are a lot of ups and downs."
One perception, that redheads feel more pain, may be true. According to Giladi, researchers say redheads may need more anesthetic during operations.
"I could say she definitely falls into that category," said Danielle Mychajlonka about Emma. "Even with a small fall, you think she's broken something."
Breitenbeker says she always has to have extra shots at the dentist, because the pain blockers don't take.
Red hair, red skin
One of the challenges that comes with red hair is fair skin.
Melanin gives color to hair, skin and eyes. It can absorb UV rays from the sun, turning skin tan. Because they have less melanin, redheads have lighter skin, which can burn.
"When I was younger, I got burned pretty good. I actually have had melanoma," said Nicole Tulin.
Mychajlonka does get a little tan in the sun, and it may be because she has brown eyes.
"If you have brown eyes and red hair, you're going to have a little more melanin in your skin," said Giladi.
Forty-five percent of redheads have blue eyes, 24 percent have green eyes, 18 percent have brown eyes, and 12 percent have hazel.
Breitenbeker says one of the reasons she was teased as a child is because, like most redheads, she has freckles.
When fair skin is in the sun, Giladi says, melanin can overproduce in small spots, causing freckles.
Emma Mychajlonka is just starting to develop a few spots.
"She is very excited about that," said her mom. "She was kind of sad that she was a redhead without freckles."
Why red hair?
Giladi attributed her son's red hair to his father's side of the family, then found out it comes from a recessive gene.
"That means both parents must carry the redhead gene," she said. "I was floored to learn that I was also responsible."
Some people believe everyone with red hair has roots in Ireland.
"People always say that," said Nicole Tulin. "I know we have family from Denmark ... I'm not sure about being Irish."
Actually, Scotland beats Ireland for red hair, according to Giladi's book. Fourteen percent of Scots are redheads, followed by Ireland and Wales with 10 percent. Red hair occasionally crops up in India, the Middle East and even Japan. The U.S. is 2 percent to 6 percent redhead, but it's such a big country there are more here than anywhere. Apparently, a lot are in Utah.
"Before we moved to Utah, we hardly ever saw any redheads," said Emma Mychajlonka's mom. "I kept telling her she was special. ... but in Utah she said, 'Mommy, they're everywhere.' "
Embracing the hue
Giladi says most redheads grow to love their hair, just as Tulin did.
"They say, 'I wouldn't have changed it -- it shaped who I am today,' " she said.
Emma Mychajlonka has embraced her red hair.
"I like that everybody likes what color I have," said Emma. "They say, 'Wow! You have such pretty hair, and it makes me feel happy about having red hair.' "
"Little Redheads Across America" is available online only, through the Web site www.littleredheadsacrossamerica.com.
Lucille Ball was known as America's Favorite Redhead, but she admitted that her hair color came from a bottle.
Plenty of genuine redheads have gained fame in America, including Carol Burnett, Conan O'Brien, Danny Bonaduce, Bette Midler, Winona Judd and comic Scott Thompson, better known as Carrot Top.
According to "Little Redheads Across America," 20 U.S. presidents had red hair, including George Washington (who used powder to make it appear white), Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
Other famous redheads listed in the book include Nicole Kidman, Vincent Van Gogh, Christopher Columbus, Alexander the Great, Queen Elizabeth I, Sarah Ferguson, Cleopatra, William Shakespeare and J.K. Rowling.

Katy Perry Vs Lady Gaga. Who Will Win?
It's a good old fashioned pop superstar showdown with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga unintentionally going at each other this week.
Both popstars have released the lead singles off their upcoming albums and both are vying for the number 1 spot on Billboard's Charts.
It looks like Katy will win this round however if we look at sales. She could potentially sell upwards of 500,000 downloads of Roar in one week which could be a best for Katy.
Gaga looks to bow out at around 250,000 downloads this week far from the 400,000 Billboard initially projected.
If we go off of the sales Katy wins this round, but if you go off of fans reactions, Gaga has this one in the bag. Her fans are some of the most loyal in the industry.
We personally think both artists win because both singles are catchy and are far different from each other.

NFL Draft 2011: Eagles Decide Brandon Harris Vs. Jimmy Smith at Pick No. 23
By Robert Ivaniszyn ,
And Reid could be looking for help in the secondary from the draft and there's no better place to look than the first round pick the Eagles have at No. 23.
In this year's draft class, the top two cornerback prospects are obvious picks. Patrick Peterson is, put simply, the best overall prospect in the draft and Prince Amukamara is a clear second best, character issues aside.
However, as you look down the draft board in both picks and in player rankings, it isn't as cut and dry who could be the next CB in line. While it is clear that another CB or three will be taken before even the first safety in this year's draft, the choice between Miami's Brandon Harris and Colorado's Jimmy Smith may not be as clear-cut as Mel Kiper would make it out to be.
Sure, Smith wowed the scouts at the combine and blew pretty much anyone else hoping for that No. 3 CB spot out of the water, but Harris is still one of the best coverage guys in this class and could quickly jump up the board if the right team feels he can fit their needs.
With the draft little more than a month-and-a-half away, we at Bleacher Report decided to make the choice easy and break it down to a category-by-category battle between these two potential shutdown, Pro Bowl cornerbacks before the NFL owners and GMs make the final call.
ESPN's Mel Kiper currently feels that the Philadelphia Eagles will be looking to bolster either side of their line in the first round with the 23rd overall pick, but even he recognizes their need for help in the secondary. With so few good safety prospects, filling that need in the first round would then fall to either Harris or Smith.
Here, then, is the debate between Brandon Harris and Jimmy Smith simplified. Ten rounds, one winner. May the best man win.
Neither of these corners were pulling down every other pass thrown their way in their college careers, but there is still a clear winner in this category.
Brandon Harris wins this for his four career interceptions, one more than Smith, and seven total turnovers created, three more than Smith.
Harris also had six tackles for loss in 2009, a very good number for a CB who has to take advantage of opportunities to stop the runs to the outside and blitz the QB effectively when given the rare nod to do so.
This was an easy one to decide. Brandon Harris is a good kid, but Jimmy Smith is simply a better guy.
Smith leads by example and keeps his mouth shut while letting his play do the talking. He keeps his ego in check and also is respected by everyone in the athletic department at Colorado.
Pair that with his willingness to give back to his community and you've got a recipe for a talented kid who is grounded and has a good head on his shoulders.
This one is a toss-up.
Both players are dedicated students of the game and are hard workers on and off the field. Some could argue that maybe Smith works harder in the weight room based on his combine numbers, but Harris' instincts in coverage are so well developed that he makes up for the work he maybe doesn't do in physical training with mental preparedness.
Speaking of instincts in the game, Brandon Harris has those in spades.
He rarely gets caught out of position or trying to jump plays on the outside. He prepares well for games and his confidence in matching up against anyone shows that.
Oh, and did I mention that he was on the ACC All-Academic Team in 2008? This is a naturally smart kid. You can train for strength or quickness and you can learn aspects of the game. You cannot teach a desire, willingness or ability to learn, however, and Harris has all three in a rare combination for an athlete.
This is one of those indirect-translation categories. True, never being injured in college doesn't mean you won't end your career on your first play due to injury or simply have a Bob Sanders-esque plague following you around.
However, this breaks down to the fact that Brandon Harris has never missed a game to injury at Miami while Smith missed the first two games of the 2008 season to an undisclosed injury.
I do not doubt Smith's durability so much as I praise the hard-hitting Harris' ability to stay health so far.
The CB from Colorado ran away with this category at the NFL scouting combine earlier this month.
This comes down to simple measureables. Smith tallied 11 more bench press reps with 24, scored a half an inch higher in the vertical jump, and, even more impressive, jumped nearly a foot farther than Harris in the broad jump.
Strength and explosiveness may be a more important trait for a safety than a DB/CB in the NFL, but it is still a key ability for any defender at the next level.
Not sure how to capture this slide in picture form, so here's a picture of one of the premier speed runners, Chris Johnson.
This one is a tie for now since both players have shown willingness to come up and play the run without being overeager and getting caught far out of position on play-action passes.
Smith will likely prove to be better in the run as time goes on due to his press coverage and line-of-scrimmage-battle skills, but only time will tell that.
For the time being, neither are bad against the run, but neither are prodigies either.
This is simple, but important. Jimmy Smith wins this not only with a faster 40 time of 4.46 versus a 4.53, but he also notched a faster 10-yard time as well.
Smith also showed abilities in his drills to go step-for-step with any receiver and has also displayed that ability in games. Combine that with his ability to close gaps quickly and his powerful lower body, and Smith runs away with this category.
As in the run game, neither player shows elite skills in this category, but Harris shows better instincts on the ball.
He has shown the ability to better diagnose when to attack for the pick and when to play the ball softer and just break up the pass.
He also reacts faster than Smith on turning his head and locating the ball, and for that he wins this important category by the slimmest of margins.
Clearly the most important ability for a cornerback, Jimmy Smith excels in coverage. His zone coverage needs work, but few defensive coordinators would think twice before putting him on an island in man coverage against any team's top receiver in a year or two.
He has long arms which he uses effectively to jam wideouts and push them off their routes. Smith is also very skilled at shadowing receivers only to close the gap in short bursts to make plays on the ball as the receiver tries to haul it in.
He has the ability to develop into one of the best shutdown corners of the twenty-teens and would be a great pickup for Philly with that 23rd overall pick.
Through 10 rounds, this debate is tied. However, as the categories are in order of importance, Smith's victories come in key areas.
Going 3-1-1 in the top five categories—including the all-important No. 1 category of ability to play pass coverage—Smith is the clear victor here. Whoever takes these guys will likely be very pleased with their selection, and neither of these two are likely to fall farther than late in the second round—and would be a steal even there.
That being said, if Philly targets a corner with their 23rd pick, and Peterson and Amukamara are off the board as expected, expect Jimmy Smith to be wearing green in 2011.

Gender Divide: Gene Expression Differs in Males and Females
Brownlee, C., Science News
There are far more biological differences between males and females than meet the naked eye. A new study suggests that the two sexes vary in the amounts of proteins produced by thousands of genes--information that could explain why some diseases strike men and women differently.
"We're certainly conscious that sex can have an effect on numerous diseases," says Thomas Drake of the University of California, Los Angeles. For example, he points out, autoimmune diseases such as lupus disproportionately strike women, whereas men are more likely to have autism and some other mental disorders.
Ongoing studies by Drake and his colleagues are investigating the root causes of diabetes, obesity, and related metabolic diseases. To see how gender interacts with genetics to affect those diseases, Drake and his colleagues worked with 165 male and 169 female mice. Using samples of four tissues--liver, fat, muscle, and brain--the researchers measured production of the proteins encoded by each of 23,000 of the animals' genes.
"We were immediately struck by the differences in gender" Drake says. "They went way beyond what we were expecting."
The team found that in liver, fat, and muscle tissue, males and females differently expressed 55 to 72 percent of the genes studied. The brain had the smallest differences in gene expression between the sexes, occurring in only about 15 percent of the genes. …

Comments about 'How the federal shutdown is affecting education'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
Several problems with this story.
First, there is no need for the
federal government to be involved in education at all. The entire Department of
Education and every employee should be shut down permanently. They add
complexity and overhead and produce little or nothing of value except
bureaucratic administrivia. Sure, the dole out lots of money, but the cost for
them to do so is unacceptable.
Second, the "Head Start"
Program has been studied and the results show that there is no significant long
term educational benefit. It is another "feel good" program (among
dozens of others) that no one will end because "we have always done it that
way" and most beneficiaries are minorities and thus any criticism is branded
as racist.
The federal debt has been run up by hundreds of programs
and agencies like this, and we cannot continue doing anything but the most
essential and effective programs. Time to end Head Start and the Department of
Education-- unless you want to cut Social Security and Medicaid instead.

Why is the Federal government in the education business anyway? If and when the new budget is passed, hopefully it won't include any education subsidies. States should handle their own education.

Emperor : the gates of Rome
by Conn Iggulden
21 editions published between 2002 and 2009 in English and held by 1,417 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Rarely, if ever, does a new writer dazzle us with such a vivid imagination and storytelling, flawlessly capturing the essence of a land, a people, a legend. Conn Iggulden is just such a writer, bringing to vivid life one of the most fascinating eras in human history. In a true masterpiece of historical fiction, Iggulden takes us on a breathtaking journey through ancient Rome, sweeping us into a realm of tyrants and slaves, of dark intrigues and seething passions. What emerges is both a grand romantic tale of coming-of-age in the Roman Empire and a vibrant portrait of the early years of a man who would become the most powerful ruler on earth: Julius Caesar. On the lush Italian peninsula, a new empire is taking shape. At its heart is the city of Rome, a place of glory and decadence, beauty and bloodshed. Against this vivid backdrop, two boys are growing to manhood, dreaming of battles, fame, and glory in service of the mightiest empire the world has ever known. One is the son of a senator, a boy of privilege and ambition to whom much has been given and from whom much is expected. The other is a bastard child, a boy of strength and cunning, whose love for his adoptive family-and his adoptive brother-will be the most powerful force in his life. As young Gaius and Marcus are trained in the art of combat-under the tutelage of one of Rome's most fearsome gladiators-Rome itself is being rocked by the art of treachery and ambition, caught in a tug-of-war as two rival generals, Marius and Sulla, push the empire toward civil war. For Marcus, a bloody campaign in Greece will become a young soldier's proving ground. For Gaius, the equally deadly infighting of the Roman Senate will be the battlefield where he hones his courage and skill. And for both, the love of an extraordinary slave girl will be an honor each will covet but only one will win. The two friends are forced to walk different paths, and by the time they meet again everything will have changed. Both will have known love, loss, and violence. And the land where they were once innocent will be thrust into the grip of bitter conflict-a conflict that will set Roman against Roman...and put their friendship to the ultimate test. Brilliantly interweaving history and adventure, Conn Iggulden conjures a stunning array of contrasts-from the bloody stench of a battlefield to the opulence of the greatest city in history, from the tenderness of a lover to the treachery of an assassin.

A man who lived for battle and blood, Genghis leads his warriors across the Gobi Desert and into a realm his people had never seen before -- with gleaming cities, soaring walls, and canals. Laying siege to one fortress after another, Genghis called upon his cunning and imagination to crush each enemy in a different way, to overcome moats, barriers, deceptions, and superior firepower -- until his army faced the ultimate test of all

Chat about the T's future with Cliff Galante
June 13, 2007
This chat has already taken place. Read the transcript below.
Lawrence Transit System Administrator Cliff Galante joined us for an online chat Wednesday to take questions on proposed changes to T fares and other policy changes.
This is Laura McHugh, 6 News Reporter. Cliff, thanks so much for joining us today. Maybe you could start out by explaining what changes riders can expect come July 1.
Cliff Galante:
Laura, thank you for inviting me to participate in this chat.
On July 1st transit riders should expect the following changes:
(1) Fare increase for T and T Lift service. Specifically, the full-fare for T service will increase to $0.75 (one-way trip) and the fare T Lift service will increase to $1.50. Also, in terms of fares we will begin offering an unlimited daily ride pass for T service.
Cliff Galante:
(2) Specifically for T Lift riders there will be a revised certification process that will require professional verfication of disability. Current certified passengers will be "grandfathered" and will have until December 31, 2007 to become recertified through the new process. Other changes include: Recertification of service eligibility every three years. Only persons with permanent disabilities will not be required to go through the professional verification process upon recertification (after recertifying the first time). Advanced reservation window to schedule trips will be reduced from 2 weeks to 3 days. Trips scheduled by persons certified as conditionally eligible will be determined on a trip by trip basis to determine if they meet the conditions of their eligibility. Also, persons who cancel 50% or more of their scheduled (non-subscription) trips with a minimum of 6 cancellations over a 90 day period would be subject to a 30-day suspension from service.
Cliff Galante:
(3) Regarding T fixed-route service - The honor system to qualify for the reduced fare has been eliminated. Specifically, students grades 10 -12, HINU students, persons age 60+, and persons with disabilities will be required to show proof of age, school enrollment or disability to qualify for the reduced fare. Persons with disabilities will need to show either a medicare card or a T Lift Photo Identification Card. The only people that qualify for a reduced fare where no proof is required are students K-9.
Some people live on very little money. It is not unusual to have only two or three dollars together to buy food. Now it costs three dollars (round trip) to buy two dollars of food, soon it will cost four dollars to buy two dollars of food. Can you please not raise the fare.
Cliff Galante:
Derald, yesterday evening the City Commission approved the fare increases. At this time to maintain the level of transit service provided for the remainder of this year as well as next, will require additional revenues dedicated to transit. Please keep in mind that transit fares only represent one source (small source) of funding needed to operate the service. Approximately 50% of revenue to support transit operations comes from Federal and State sources. The other 50% is made up from local taxes and fares. It is not our intent to place financial hardship on people, but rather to maintain service levels to help people.
before you raise the price of T-lift rides and screen for disabilities, would you consider revamping your scheduling computer to organize the T-lift vans in a more effectient way? Most businesses would rejoice and never consider ways to decrease consumer demand.
Cliff Galante:
Dear Bearded_Gnome - The scheduling software you refer too,called "Trapeze", is designed to maximize the most efficient use of transit vehicles to serve as many people as possible. Many adjustments have been made to the software to maximize efficiency, however, demand for service is outstripping our available resources to provide service.
Are there any plans for an annual pass?
Cliff Galante:
Dear kat66044 - Yes there has been discussions about offering an annual pass. Stay tuned.
What can we as Lawrence citizens do to make a commuter line between Lawrence and Topeka a possibility?
Cliff Galante:
Dear kolisach - There have been some preliminary discussions about establishing a commuter line between Lawrence and Topeka. There is interest in both communities. However, there are a variety of challenges we face, the largest being available funding, to make this happen. In case you were not aware, last year we launched "Carpool Connection", an online carpooling matching service for commuters interested in ridesharing. So far, over 1,250 have registered on the site. It is a free service on the Lawrence Transit website at www.lawrencetransit.org. All you need to do is create a user-name and profile and it matches you up with people with similiar commutes. The service serves as a forum for people to link up. Other areas I am interested in futher exploring deal with promoting public/private partnerships to establish vanpools. I had much experience with this when I work in New Orleans where vanpooling was extremely popular.
Mr. Galante,
After reading about the T's future, I wonder why advertisements are not allowed on the outside of the buses. It occurred to me that it may be prevented by the contract between the city and MV, and may not be immediately changeable -- but if I were a business, I would love to see my name on the side of a hard-to-miss moving vehicle, and I would pay for the advertising space. Why is no one paying for advertisements on the T buses? It would certainly help.
Cliff Galante:
Dear Grammation, The City is currently exploring the feasibility of bus advertising. As you are aware, the City currently does not advertise on the bus. It is my understanding that there was some valid reasons for that decision such as branding a new bus service to make sure people knew the service was able to them. To this day, people still confuse the City bus system with the KU on Wheels bus system for University students. Due to our recent budget challenges, there has been a shift of thinking on this issue. I will tell you based on the research I conducted talking with other communities that operate similiar sized transit systems in Kansas and other states that currently advertise, the revenue generated would likely be around $50,000 annually. This additional revenue will help, but will not solve our current budget challenges.
We're out of time. Cliff, thank you again for participating in our chat.
Cliff Galante:
Thank you and thanks to people that submitted questions.
Information regarding the new service and policy changes is available on the transit website at www.lawrencetransit.org.
>I hope the public understands that last weeks LJW article regarding transit service reductions are by no means a recommendation, but rather what citizens should expect if additional revenues are not dedicated to operate the transit system next year. I believe sometimes it is hard for people to understand just a dollar amount. What I was trying to illustrate to the City Commissioners and what the LJW picked up on is what $450,000 will buy citizens with regard to transit service.
Please keep in mind that 50% of cost to operate the transit system is covered by Federal and State sources. These funds are given to Lawrence specifically for transit purposes based on our population. If Lawrence did not have a transit system, then these funds would be redirected to other communities in Kansas that operate public transit service. The other half of funding needed to support transit operations is made up from local taxes, fares and bus pass sales. In terms of capital such as vehicle acquistion, the Federal Government pays for up to 83% of the cost as long as the vehicles are handicapped accessible. Finally, citizens may have noticed six new T Lift paratransit vehicles driving around that replaced older vehicles that fulfilled their useful lives. Those six vehicles were acquired with 100% state funds with no local funding required.
Cliff Galante:
Lastly, June 21st we will be joining other transit systems around the country in celebrating the 2nd annual Dump the Pump campaign. We will be offering a free ridership day on T fixed-route service to increase awareness about the many benefits of public transit and to encourage more transit usage.
Thanks again for supporting YOUR transit system.
Take care.

Rats, missed the chance to ask a question. Regardless, thanks Cliff and the Lawrence Transit folks. I just started riding the K-10 connector last week (which I understand the City of Lawrence supports). It's an excellent service, not to mention highly used. I have no doubt that a Lawrence-Topeka connector would be just as highly used, if not moreso.
Also, being completely selfish, I'd like to suggest a once- or twice-a-day bus between Lawrence and Baldwin City. I work there, as do several other Lawrencians I know (and probably many more Baldwinians that I don't know work in Lawrence). My co-workers and I try to carpool as much as possible, but sometimes our schedules don't match up and we all drive alone. Having a bus make a round-trip twice a day (around 7:30 or 8:00 am and 4:30 or 5:00 pm) would be really convenient. That said, I realize the T is stretched pretty thin and the resources are there to make it happen.
Regardless, kudos to the T!

text: I noticed that I keep getting a Intent to Foreclosure letter whenever we are 2 months behind on our mortgages. However, we are currently on a special Forebearance Payment Plan with AHMSI so I had hoped those letter would stop but I was told that those are form letters that are generated by the computer and cannot stop until we catch up on our payments. When should I start to worry about those notices? How can I tell the difference between an Intent to Foreclose letter and an actual Notice of Foreclosure? My biggest fear is that I keep ignoring the usual intent letters and not notice when they actually send me the Foreclosure notice. I know it is not supposed to happen while I am on a special repayment plan but I also know that mortgage companies make mistakes all the time. Can anyone tell me the difference?

When it comes to cancer, many cases are mysteries. It's very difficult—even impossible—to pinpoint what leads to a malignancy. Yet there are a few cancers that clearly are linked to specific causes. Smoking contributes to lung cancer, sun damage contributes to skin cancer, and—in a stunning 99 percent of cases—human papillomavirus (HPV) is present in cervical cancer cases.
Play: Shirley Valentine
The weather may be warming, but that doesn't necessarily mean there's anything in theaters worth seeing. If you remain firmly planted to your couch, rightfully suspicious of the thaw, you have options. Here's what's new on DVD:
Recognition of stellar productions by nearly two dozen local theater companies will take center stage when the St. Louis Theater Circle presents its second annual awards ceremony honoring the best in local professional theater, on stage and behind the scenes, on Monday, March 17, 2014 at the Center of Creative Arts (COCA), 524 Trinity Avenue in University City.
Story: Most days, Shirley Bradshaw puts on a face that she keeps in a jar by the door. She's only 42 years old, but she feels more like 142. It's the mid-1980s, and Shirley lives a humdrum existence in a working-class neighborhood in Liverpool, England, where John, Paul, George and Ringo got their start.
Spring has sprung in the land of fashion, and one of my favorite trends for the new season are watercolor prints. Brush strokes of color in vibrant hues, these prints give an artsy look to your spring wardrobe. Pair them with white or classic denim, a lime neon clutch or bring a pop to your feet when wearing a solid dress...there's nothing abstract about it!
Story: Two one-act plays bridged by a common theme and title, Lovers takes place in small-town Ireland in the mid-1960s. The first vignette, Winners, pertains to a pair of 17-year-olds, Joseph Michael Brennan and Margaret Mary Enright. Joe has gotten Maggie into the family way, which necessitates a hasty marriage at the end of the school year three weeks hence.
Story: The Wyeths share their surname with a family of famous artists who counted celebrities among their friends and admirers. So it is with Lyman Wyeth, a retired actor who gave up success on the silver screen for patronage roles with the Grand Old Party, which was led by his friend and fellow former actor Ronald Reagan. Lyman was good as a leading man in the pictures and just as polished as a genial Republican ambassador.
Although our skin is still covered by sweaters and scarves, before long, we'll be baring our faces, necks and arms to the sun. We all know that sunscreen is crucial to protecting ourselves from premature aging, pigmentation and—most important—skin cancer. Yet another aspect of prevention is early detection of potential problems, so now is the time to take a close look at your skin.
One of the mainstays of preventive health for women is the 'well-woman exam,' the annual check-up that includes a pelvic and breast exam. However, since the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists revised screening guidelines for pap smears, calling for them as long as five years apart under certain circumstances, some women are under the impression that they have no reason to see the doctor for their annual exam. Not so.

In late September 2001, I found myself in New York City just days after 9/11.

Two U.S. senators say H-1B visas allow 'legal discrimination'
Grassley, Durbin renew efforts to get H-1B restrictions
Computerworld - WASHINGTON -- The H-1B visa program allows companies to "legally discriminate" against U.S. workers and displace them, said two U.S. senators who today introduced new legislation to "mend," not end, the controversial program.
The H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act, introduced by Sens. Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa), and Dick Durbin, (D-Ill.), is similar to legislation the two senators introduced last year. But while the bill may be similar, what has changed since then is the economy.
Indeed, the two senators hope to the duplicate the success Grassley and co-sponsor Sen. Bernard Sanders, (I-Vt.), had in getting restrictions placed on H-1B use by financial services firms receiving bailout funds under the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). That bill was approved as part of the massive stimulus package passed by Congress in February.
This legislation, however, is far more sweeping than the TARP-related measure and seeks some permanent changes in how the H-1B program operates, especially when used by offshoring firms.
Regarding the legislation, Durbin wrote that "an outsourcing company can use American workers to train H-1B guest workers, fire the American workers and outsource the H-1B workers to a foreign country where they will do the same job for a much lower wage. In fact, Indian Commerce Minister Kamal Nath has referred to the H-1B as 'the outsourcing visa'" -- a quote from a story by the International Herald Tribune in April 2007. India-based firms are the largest users of the visa.
Grassley and Durbin contend that current law allows companies to "legally discriminate against qualified Americans by firing them without cause and recruiting only H-1B workers to replace them."
The proposed bill requires U.S. employers looking to hire an H-1B visa holder to "first make a good-faith attempt" to recruit a qualified U.S. worker. It would also prohibit displacing U.S. workers with H-1B visa holders, ban "H-1B-only" ads and prevent employers from hiring additional H-1B and L-1 visa holders if more than half of their employees rely on those visas. The L-1 visa is used by companies to transfer foreign employees.
The measure also includes a provision to give the U.S. Department of Labor more latitude and authority to initiate investigations and conduct random audits.
Ron Hira, an assistant professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology and author of Outsourcing America, said the "bill takes the necessary steps to clean up the corrupted H-1B and L-1 visa programs by closing major loopholes that have allowed firms to replace Americans with lower-cost foreign guest workers. It also ensures that firms comply with the regulations by instituting a random auditing process. If passed, both American and foreign workers would be treated fairly."

Newspapers everywhere are dying, even as their publishers find a faint pulse and excuses to say they could live forever. Saturday's broadsheets in Melbourne and Sydney were once considered ''rivers of gold'' because they contained so much classified and display advertising.
Next week's tabloid editions will show that the ''rivers of gold'' have run dry. Australia is at the forefront of the changes in news delivery because it's a relatively small, urbanised and prosperous market.
So Aussies have been quick to adopt 21st century forms of news delivery at the expense of print. What's happening in Melbourne and Sydney will be happening elsewhere and everywhere soon.
In Australia, tabloid newspapers are dying just as fast as broadsheets. Yet readers' choices are improving thanks to the Internet, with an Australian version of 'The Guardian' now being avidly read online and 'The Daily Mail' arriving soon.
Sadly, the grand Aussie broadsheets have hastened their demise by dumbing down to pursue the same sensationalist celebrity nonsense as the tabloids. Serious journalism still has a value, but serious journalists are more difficult to find these days, in print or online.
Newspapers, of course, have always become obsolete the moment they roll off the presses. Now fewer of them are coming off, and the presses are disappearing.
With news already available instantly via your telephone, and soon via your watch or your eyeglasses, the owners of birds will soon be scratching to find newsprint to line the bottom of their birdcages.
Extinction for newspapers is inevitable.
Journalism, on the other hand, is being given new life. But the question remains whether serious journalism can flourish beyond the complacent monopolies of the once-great newspapers.
Deprived of revenue, choked of influence, newspapers are turning to space-filling and unlabelled promotions, as readers are discovering. The only certainty: in future, readers will have a greater variety of space-filling and unidentified promotions from which to choose.
''The glory days are well and truly gone,'' Australia's Media Watch program summed up neatly on ABC television this week.
Nowhere in the world these days are newspaper publishers boasting about the size of their staff. They know that cutbacks, lay-offs and downsizing are on the way as the newspaper world follows Australia's lead.
The end is nigh.

Students in the Caldwell County Schools will have three more chances to prove their reading proficiency by the end of third grade, if the state approves a request made Monday by the county board of education.
Under the 2012 Read to Achieve law, implemented this year, students have to prove their proficiency in reading to be promoted to the fourth grade. They prove it by making a "3" or higher on end-of-grade tests or meeting one of several exemptions set by the state by the end of third grade.
The school board is asking the state to approve three alternative assessments.
David Clifton Johnson was appointed the new finance director for the Caldwell County Schools at the Caldwell County Board of Education's meeting Monday night.

James Fleischer, the first Republican candidate in 12 years for Caldwell County Clerk of Superior Court, announced that he will withdraw from the race.

Twenty Dollars
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the
ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."

NJ OKs statewide Internet gambling for 6 casinos
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — New Jersey gambling regulators gave six casinos the green light to offer Internet gambling statewide on Monday.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement's decision, which came after more than four days of testing the technology involved in online betting and making sure gamblers are within New Jersey, allows the state to join Nevada and Delaware as the only ones offering Internet gambling. It authorized six of the seven casinos that hold Internet gambling permits to immediately offer online gambling throughout New Jersey.
