Even though it raised thousands of dollars for leukemia research, it still must have been extremely difficult for those two Indianapolis Colts cheerleaders to shave their heads this past weekend.
As men, we can't imagine how challenging it is for a woman to go out into public without hair. So, when a woman has to go through something like chemo, the whole experience can become even more horrendous. However, women can still be hot with a shaved head. Maybe it's for a role in a movie or play. Perhaps they just like the look. Then again, some of them may have just gone off the deep end. Of course, some may unfortunately have had a medical condition.
Regardless of the reason, here are the 11 hottest celebrity shaved heads of all time, just to prove to us guys that bald can be beautiful.
11. Sinead O'Connor
When the controversial Irish singer-songwriter released her version "Nothing Compares 2 U" in 1990 it put the shaved head at the forefront of pop culture.

10. Persis Khambatta
Khambatta was an Indian model, actress and author. She famously shaved her head for the role of Lieutenant Ilia in the 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

9. Sigourney Weaver
Word is that the actress was paid $4 million to shave her hair when she reprised Ripley in 1992's Alien 3.

8. Britney Spears
And, here's our example of a celebrity going nuts.
7. Robin Tunney
Another actress who shaved her head for a role in a movie, which Robin Tunney pulled off nicely in 1995's Empire Records.

6. Kylie Minogue
The Australian pop star was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, which resulted in her losing her hair from chemotherapy.

5. Halle Berry
The beautiful actress recently shaved her head for the 2012 movie Nappily Ever After.

4. Demi Moore
Most of us remember Demi Moore shaving her head for GI Jane in 1997. Most of us probably don't remember much about the movie other than that.

3. Amber Rose
The model, recording artist, actress and fiance to Wiz Khalifa has made a shaved head part of her signature look.

2. Natalie Portman
For 2005's film adaptation of V for Vendetta, Portman joined the likes of Demi Moore and Sigourney Weaver as actresses who shaved their heads to become a badass leading lady.

1. Charlize Theron
The beautiful South African native has been proudly showing off her shaved head, which was done in preparation for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road.

A recent collaborative effort between the Nassau Health Care Corporation (NHCC) and the Nassau County Correctional Center (NCCC) in East Meadow has overhauled the jail's ailing health care system by expanding medical services staff, and restructuring the health care delivery system. A primary aim of the new system is to reduce the number of inmates who receive healthcare outside the facility, thereby decreasing overtime costs.
Close to 100 concerned residents from New Cassel and Westbury showed up at a meeting held April 7 at the community center on Post Ave. to protest Nassau BOCES efforts to purchase a building it now rents in Westbury, the result of which would be a $320,000 loss to the tax rolls in the Westbury School District.
The Community Tennis Association of East Williston has joined the United States Tennis Association (USTA). After offering classes through an independent children's arts program for five years, it was the natural evolution for the growing sport of tennis to join the USTA as a non-profit Community Tennis Association (CTA). Being affiliated with the USTA as a CTA will improve the quality of the tennis experience, with full access to the support, funding, and services that the USTA can provide, along with the immediate benefit of friendly competition with other established CTAs.

Kim Kardashian Donates Wedding Gift Cash to Charityby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kim Kardashian has written a very large check to charity.
In a letter obtained by TMZ, the reality star addresses guests who attended her August wedding to Kris Humphries and writes:
"I would like to thank you for your generous and thoughtful wedding gift. It has taken me some time to pull everything together but I wanted to let you know that the money for every gift received by me at my wedding has been donated to the Dream Foundation."
Insiders estimate the total cash value of these items to be around $100,00 - and Kim has donated twice that amount to an organization that serves a similar function as the Make-a-Wish Foundation. It's clearly a nice gesture.
But we also must note: Kim reportedly earned over $15 million from selling the television and photos rights to the wedding. We wonder if that money has gone to a similar cause.
I've recently watched Kim Kardashian Sex Tape!
Here's the video: Kim Kardashian Sex Tape (uncensored version)
Kim Kardashian Donates Wedding Gift Cash to Charity
Hh yeah baby! It made my day!
So what if she donated the money to charity. That was a really thoughtful gesture on her part. R all these Humphries fallowers so sure that he would have returned them if they were in his position? Besides, why doesnt he help KK send them back? Kris Humphries is a pig and a bully.
have people lost their calculators? If her gifts were worth $100,000 she either has really cheap friends (coughs in fist) or she's LYING!!!! I can't even believe I googled this.
Seriously she is such a self-absorbed attention hound like paris was ,now she kim and her family has become the butt of jokes brought on by none other than their pathetic-selves. Boo Hoo can't wait till you all are totally obsolite like paris is not in the news now!!No one cares anymore!! LOL!!!!
Seriously. Give credit where credit is due. How much money do you give to charity every year? There is plenty of celebrities that make just as much or more money than Kim Kardashian that don't give a dime to charities and I don't see you posting them!

Blue bear sculpture at Colorado Convention Center splattered with green paint
DENVER - The blue bear sculpture at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver has been splattered with green paint.
Sunday's sunrise revealed a large splatter of bright green paint down the back of the 40-foot-tall sculpture entitled "I See What You Mean." It appears the paint was dropped onto the sculpture from above.
Created by artist Lawrence Argent and installed in 2005, the blue bear is a steel sculpture encased in a blue fiberglass and cement composite. The bear peers into the main lobby of the Colorado Convention Center with its front paws and nose pressed against the outer window.
When 7NEWS called the Convention Center around 8 a.m., their security staff was not aware of the apparent vandalism.

February 25, 2009
Charlotte— Ruins of "Robinson Rock House," a colonial era stone residence built in what is now Reedy Creek Nature Preserve, 2900 Rocky River Road, have been placed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The registry, administered US Interior Department's National Park Service, is the official list, commissioned by Congress, of American properties deemed to merit preservation.
The rock house was built in the late 1780's by James Robinson and his family. His grandfather, Robert Robinson, who bought the property, had been one of the first Europeans to live in this area. The house was typical of the time for a well-to-do farming family: three-story with large stone entry steps, two large living rooms with fireplaces, an attic, and hand-split wood shingles. Also on the site were a woodworking shop, summer kitchen, blacksmith shop and slave quarters.
The Robinson family developed the surrounding land along Reedy Creek as a farm. Years later, the farm became part of a cotton plantation. The rock house is of the same style and is believed to have the same architect as Charlotte's well-known Hezekiah Alexander House off Shamrock Drive.
Over years the Robinson property passed through many hands. In 1899, the house was abandoned and eventually a forest grew up around it.
Ruins of the structure were re-discovered in 1982 by a class from UNC-Charlotte. The class cleaned-up the site and create maps of the area, paving the way for future teams of archaeologists who recovered many artifacts from the 1700's and 1800's. In the 1980's and 1990's, the property was acquired by Mecklenburg County to become a park and a nature preserve.
Today, the foundation and crumbling walls of the Robinson house remain an important piece of Mecklenburg County history. Just behind it are ruins of another building, possibly an outbuilding or kitchen. These ruins have not been excavated and remain much as found in 1982. Also on the property is a recently fallen Osage Orange Tree, one of the oldest trees in the nature preserve. This magnificent tree was brought down by a storm about 4 years ago.

If you found yourself getting dizzy watching Pink's astonishing aerial acrobatics on Sunday night's 2010 Grammy Awards, you weren't alone.
The singer herself was a bit disoriented by the end.
"When I do it [on tour], I don't have lights above me," she said of the act, in which she spins from silk drapes while suspended in the air. "Tonight, there were lights above me, so it almost went into a strobe thing, and I actually did get a little turned around."
As she was lowered to the ground, "I thought … I was going to fall on my nude butt," she admitted. "But I worked it out."

Winning four Grammy Awards in a single night would be memorable for any artist. For Taylor Swift, Sunday was all the more special as it was a historic night for Nashville music.
Told after the show that Music City artists had pulled off an unprecedented double – album of the year for Swift and record of the year for Kings of Leon – Swift, 20, replied, "That's awesome, and I didn't know that before right now."
Keeping up the enthusiasm, Swift further declared, "Nashville is my favorite place in the world. To see it recognized in such a beautiful way tonight at the Grammys just makes me so, so happy."

Once again, the Grammy Awards felt like one big concert.

The live show hadn't even started – and already Taylor Swift and Beyoncé were having a great Grammy night.
The country star, who is nominated for eight trophies at Sunday's Grammy Awards, nabbed two big awards during the pre-telecast program, including best country song (for "White Horse") and best female country vocal. And, while other stars were walking the red carpet, she was there to claim them in person.
"This is my first Grammy, you guys," said a beaming Swift, 20, accepting the award. "I mean, this is a Grammy! I live in awe of the people I was nominated against in this category."
Going into the live broadcast, Swift faced fierce competition from Beyoncé, who cleaned up at pre-telecast ceremony, winning four of the astounding 10 Grammys for which she was nominated.

No one can bring out the stars quite like Clive Davis! The music mogul's Pre-Grammy Gala & Salute to Industry Icons (this year honoring Universal Music Group Chairman and CEO Doug Morris) is an annual tradition and one of the biggest parties of the year. And with a bevy of stars – including Jay-Z, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Russell Brand, Taylor Swift, Ne-Yo, Sheryl Crow, Adam Lambert and Barbra Streisand – in attendance, Saturday night's bash at the Beverly Hilton Hotel was no exception.
"It's one of those parties that you have to come to," Ciara, in head-to-toe Givenchy, told PEOPLE on her way in. "I'm excited to see everybody! It's cool to see people that you know, people that you don't know. It's always great to see Clive, and I'm just looking forward to having a great time."
Fergie, in a Zuhair Murad party dress, breezed down the red carpet in a hurry, stopping only to have a happy chat with Nick Jonas. But the singer had a good reason to rush: The Black Eyed Peas opened the show with Slash singing the classic Guns n' Rose's tune "Sweet Child O' Mine."

Michael Jackson's two eldest children, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael, 12, are scheduled to take the stage at Sunday's telecast.
"I am very proud that my son, Michael Jackson, is a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Grammy," Joe Jackson said in a statement Saturday. "However, there [have] been some recent rumors that I am displeased with the idea that Michael's children are accepting the award on my son's behalf.

Lazy PicsPosted by: Saresa in Everyday WoWing, Quests
So, my internet was essentially borked for the last few days, which unfortunately meant no posting! However, the download limit has been reset for this month, my brother has been assured that exceeding it again will mean a loss of one finger per day of bad internet access, so all should be well for this month.
I know this a lazy picture post isn't exactly substantive, but I am hoping that this will be enough to hold people for the duration of today while I come up with something of a much better quality. Let's face it, if I was intelligent I would have been writing something good while the internet was down, all ready to be uploaded at the push of a button when everything was back to normal. Instead, I spent my time lazing about, going to the beach, and doing all those other fun RL activities that I have let slip since the advent of WoW, and definitely since the advent of blogging into my life. These are just a few assorted snaps of my adventures since Wrath came out – enjoy!

About Amy Umble:

In Mary Washington's time, breast cancer was little understood, widely feared and often fatal
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
When tourists visit the Mary Washington House tomorrow, Genevieve Bugay, the costumed guide, plans to tell them that they have arrived on a sad day.
"Mrs. Washington has just died," Bugay will say.
Saturday is the 223rd anniversary of Mary Washington's death. Those who tend her home and memory plan to mark the occasion from noon to 3 p.m. with recollections of the woman and the disease that killed her.
"She suffered dreadfully for some months with breast cancer," Bugay said.
Mary Washington died in her bed at 3 p.m. at her white-frame home at 1200 Charles Street. She was 81.
Family members were with her at the end, though her son, George, the nation's first president, was in New York City, the new seat of government. Burgess Ball, a family member, wrote to George that day to tell him of his mother's death. For the last 15 days, Mary Washington was unable to speak, Ball wrote. For the last five days she was "asleep."
Bugay, who usually serves as site coordinator at the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop, will move to the Mary Washington House tomorrow to receive mourners. She has prepared for the day by studying Washington family correspondence and medical texts from the period. She has learned that, like today, breast cancer in the Colonial period was widely known, little understood and often fatal.
Bugay said it appears that Mrs. Washington suffered from an advanced case of the disease. When her doctor wrote about her to Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia, one of the most famous physicians in the colonies, Rush advised comfort measures.
Apply poultices of opium and camphor, Rush advised. Wash the infected breast with a solution of red clover, he said, and give her cocktails of wine and bark.
Mrs. Washington's breast was apparently swollen and discolored, and the tumor may have broken through the surface of the skin. She was probably in pain.
In one letter, her daughter, Betty Lewis, told George Washington, "I'm sorry to inform you my mother's breast still continues bad. God only knows how it will end."
(The website for the Mary Washington House is here. A popular medical text from the period, Domestic Medicine by William Buchan, is available here through Google Books. It contains a chapter on cancer.)

Jun 17, 2011The inclusion of four new multiplayer maps and a zombie map frankly don't do anything for the game that weren't done when you first opened the box last November, but that's not a bad thing. If you're avid about Call of Duty: Black Ops, there's nothing to complain about, even at roughly three bucks a map. If you've already put away the game in favor of other engagements, don't expect this DLC offering to suck you back in for very long. If you remain fully engaged, the Escalation content will only enhance the game.
Jun 19, 2011Escalation's maps are great additions to the main game, however the $15 price tag is still at least $5 too high.

Jan 19, 2013It's the best game for playing when I have time. I can play for 20 minutes, or half a day, either way the multiplayer is always fun. Graphics look great once you install the HD texture pack, zombies is decent, and the campaign is fun. It's no revolution, but who cares!?… Expand
Jan 14, 2012This map pack came with some rather boring maps. Out of Convoy, Stockpile, Hotel, and Zoo, I thought Hotel was the best. Hotel was rather addicting and is lots of fun. Convoy is possibly the second best, but only by a little bit. The rest of the maps were a disappointment, and I rarely ever play them. If I were you, I would buy this only for Convoy and Hotel. I would also think very intently whether or not it is worth it or not.… Expand

Summer Bird House
I'm back with a small gift card. I am still on my challenge kick today. I wanted to participate in my buddy, Shirley's, challenge over at Impression Obsession. The theme is : Summer Time. Simon Says Stamp is having a bingo game too. I selected: Shape, Lace, and Flowers. Crafts 4 Eternity is having a recipe challenge and the theme is Embellishments that start with R (I used ribbon, roses, and rhinestones).
I stamped the image - Tweet Summer Time (F1648) with black ink and colored with Copics. I cut the image and a folded card with a Spellbinders die. This is a small card ( 5 x 3 1/2 ) and I think it will be used for a girt card. I added the ribbon loop at the top so that it could be attached to a box or gift bag.
I added a stamped bird (Stampin' Up) to the roof of the bird house. I added lace and paper roses for accents.
And one more detail photo.
And, why not one more challenge:
Really Reasonable Ribbon: handwritten sentiment (I wrote Summer Home on the horizontal piece of wood on bottom of bird house.)
I better get going! Have a great day!!

UPDATE: Authorities say attempted abduction in Golden a misunderstanding
Updated On: Oct 14 2012 11:14:27 AM CDT
Authorities said Sunday that an attempted abduction in Golden was a misunderstanding.
The Jefferson Co. Sheriff's Office told our news partners at KMGH that the man involved in allegedly trying to lure a 13-year-old boy Saturday turned himself in.
Investigators said the 18-year-old said he was trying to get the boy to go knock on the door of his ex-girlfriend's home. When the boy became scared and tried to get away, the teen got out of the car to try explaining himself.
The 13-year-old boy's mother snapped a picture of the man in his car and released it to news outlets.
"I think everyone reacted just the way they should have, in the light of everything that is going on," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Mark Techmeyer.

No other dance form has been as mythologized as Middle Eastern dance. Popularized in the West as "belly dance" or "Oriental dance," it is known in the Arab world as raqs sharqi. While it is impossible to determine its precise origins we do know that dance of a similar nature has survived since antiquity. Variously associated with exotic Eastern entertainment, fertility rites and tawdry nightclubs, it has been difficult to gain acceptance for raqs sharqi as a respectful profession in Middle Eastern society. Nevertheless, the genre has stood the test of time and become a worldwide phenomenon.

Giants Music Playlist vs. SteelersPosted by on November 2, 2012 – 3:09 pm
Every week, we're asking a handful of Giants players what's playing in their headphones before a game. This is what they had to say as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday:
LB Spencer Paysinger

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. "
God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

This is an amalgamation of a few mulled wine recipes and it turned out great! The easiest method is to substitute out the spices and zest for a pre-made tea bag of mulling spices (one tea bag per 16 ounces so this recipe would need about 3) but I've included the spices here in case that's not available. Any red wine will do but I think the merlot has a nice balanced flavor for this. The vermouth really adds a nice layer to the warmth and taste of this wine.

Lee University junior outfielders Chris Grayson and Jonathan Clark were selected in the major league baseball draft Tuesday, leaving Flames coach Mark Brew with mixed emotions.
"It's big for them, but it's a good and bad situation," he said. "You're happy for them but now you're [probably] looking for a No. 3 or No. 4 hole hitter and a leadoff guy."
Grayson was selected by the Texas Rangers, Clark by the New York Mets.
Also drafted Tuesday were Tennessee Wesleyan outfielder Sam Munson, by the Atlanta Braves, and All-American designated hitter David Bergin, who was picked as a pitcher by St. Louis. Bulldogs coach Billy Berry could empathize with Brew's dilemma.
"It's a whirlwind for those guys right now," Berry said. "Any time you lose somebody it's difficult, especially guys you expect to come back and to hit again in the middle of your order. But it's a win for them and a win for us. ... It tells me we're signing the right kind of kid, and [them being drafted] is another good selling point for our program."
Bergin went 9-2 as a right-handed pitcher. He also hit .430 and tied for the national NAIA lead in home runs with 23.
"It's hard to tell where he will play," Berry said. "I think he could do either one. He definitely did a really good job for us."
The only area high school player taken Tuesday was lanky Walker Valley pitcher Brandon Zajac. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound left-hander was taken by the Pittsburgh Pirates in round 30, the final round of the day.
Scouts were all over Zajac early but then backed off in midseason when he strained an oblique muscle, which probably cost him a few rounds. However, Zajac also has a University of Tennessee scholarship in hand as a bargaining chip.
"If the money is there and if it would make [financial] sense over the next five or six years, I would really consider it, but right now I'm not leaning either way," he said.
The 6-foot, 190-pound Grayson hit .364 with five home runs, 11 triples and 11 doubles and 17 stolen bases in 20 attempts.
"He has choices," Brew said. "I would expect him to use his leverage [of returning to Lee] and get [a contract signing] done."
Clark, another of Lee's left-handed batters and also a junior this past season, started 47 games, hitting .323 with 13 home runs, three triples and 17 doubles.
Like Bergin, Munson was a junior transfer at TWC. He hit .354 with six homers, eight doubles, two triples, 31 RBIs and 51 runs. A year ago at Walters State he had 70 RBIs while hitting .399.
Major league teams resume with Round 31 at noon today in Secaucus, N.J. and the draft will continue through Round 50 unless all teams have passed before then.

Shoe Review: M&S Insolia patent pumps
My love of shoes is well-documented but when it comes to my own purchases I tend to shrink back from styles that are excessively high; particularly when they're closed-off and look like they might pinch. Yup, I'm a bit of a high heel wuss, but I do love the way they look: this season's pointed-toe pumps are amazingly elegant and chic worn with floaty summer frocks, but it wasn't a look I expected to be able to pull off (or, indeed, put on)...
Then I spotted this patent pump from Marks and Spencers' Insolia range, which is made to be kinder to the feet than your average high heels. Having owned a few styles from this range already, I can vouch for how comfortable the pieces are and tend to approach the collection in a completely different way when shopping for shoes: instead of shying away from those notorious styles, I go for the highest I can find, because I know I can wear them pain free!
So when I was offered the chance to roadtest a pair from the current collection, I immediately opted to try out some nude pink platform courts, which looked like they'd provide instant polish to my summer wardrobe. And I wasn't disappointed: here I am wearing the all-purpose neutral heels with one of my loudest neon numbers in the office:
The look of the shoes was everything I'd hoped for and more: with a gentle platform and slender heel they're not dissimilar from the L.K Bennett 'Sledge' shoes so frequently worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, but they've got a bit more of a fashion edge that stops them from being too plain or frumpy: I love the super slick finish on the leather, and the sharp points at the toe; the mix of classic and contemporary makes them equally suitable for dressed up and casual occasions.
But are they comfortable? I have to admit that even with my prior knowledge of Insolia I was skeptical before trying them on: patent leather has a habit of being unforgiving on the feet, and those heels are certainly verging on the lofty. But once again the M&S magic has worked, and the shoes fit me like a glove. You know that feeling of relief you get when 'dismounting' from a pair of heels at the end of the day? I haven't had that with these - they're so comfy I barely notice I'm wearing them, even over bare feet.
M&S Autugraph coated leather platform shoes with Insolia are £49.50, here

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

STOREY COUNTY, NV -- Volunteers were busy sorting supplies at the Food Bank in Storey County Monday. Several people said they are volunteering to mark Martin Luther King Day. In the mid-90s congress designated the holiday as a day of service.
"I'm happy to be here I like working hard, so it's working out," a Patagonia worker who was volunteering said.
"It makes me feel like I'm helping the community out," Victoria McCrea, a volunteer, said.
Jocelyn Lantrip, the marketing director at the Food Bank, said despite an economic recovery, demand for assistance has not diminished.
"We've still been seeing increases, we've still been seeing people that have been out of work for a long period of time that are needing help month after month," Lantrip said.
Volunteer Lauren Cromer said: "They're usually not open on Mondays but it's a great time that people are available to come down and it works out great to have a bunch of people in here doing a bunch of work."

Watchlist for 11/14/13
AAPL - I entered a call spread today using the 520/530 strikes expiring next week. Looking for this triangle formation its in to breakout soon. Watch this one above 522-523 I think that will get AAPL into motion. Until then expecting range bound action. Im long overnight.
WFC BAC MET JPM C GS - All of these look really good. I tweeted (@camar024) this morning that I was going to buy the dip by buying the banks but I only managed to get entries on C and GS …..BAC today was the strongest, breaking out of a multi-month consolidation pattern and closed the day at the highs. I like all these setups for breaks above prior high tomorrow. I am currently long C via Dec. 50x calls. I did a video few days ago on why I thought we would see a rotation into the banks, you can watch that video here.
MSFT - In bull flag pattern on the daily candles and today saw a big gap down with the market but found a way to rip all day long and close at the highs giving it a huge engulfing bar. Looks great for new 52w highs tomorrow. Looking at taking 38x calls for next week with 40s being my target

Huntington University women's basketball coach, Lori Culler, announced the addition of two more recruits who will bolster an already strong incoming class this fall. The Elmhurst High School duo of Teirenney Fincher and Ebony Robinson has chosen to continue their careers in the Foresters' program. As seniors, both played instrumental roles in helping lead the Trojans to a 23-3 record and a Summit Athletic Conference championship. Fincher, a 5-2 shooting guard, averaged 12.6 points and 3.9 assists as a junior and knocked down 55 3-point field goals. She also earned First Team All-SAC honors. In her final campaign, Fincher posted averages of 9 points and 2.8 assists per game as well as hit 42 treys. She was a Second Team All-Conference selection and was selected to play in the Nancy Rehm All-Star game. For her career, Fincher scored 781 points and finished with 285 assists and 118 3-point field goals. "Teirenney has good knowledge of the game, and coming from a winning program, she understands what it takes to be successful," said Coach Culler. "She is a very hard worker and a great team player. Her ability to shoot the three will help fill a void on our roster. Aside from her basketball skills, Teirenney is a quality individual that every coach would love to have." At 5-5, Robinson played the point guard position for the Trojans. During her junior season, she led the team with 6.8 assists per game and chipped in 8.7 points as well. Her performance earned her Second Team All-SAC honors. As a senior, Robinson averaged 8.7 points, 4.9 assists and 4 steals per game to earn First Team All-Conference honors. She completed her Trojan career with 519 points, 306 assists and 256 steals. "Having played point, Ebony brings tremendous court awareness and vision with her game," said Culler. "She is adept at handling the ball and her quickness and ability to apply full court pressure will be an asset to the aggressive, up-tempo style of play we like to use. Ebony's character and work ethic would make her a valuable addition to any program. We're glad she chose HU."

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of
your website? Its very well written; I love what youve
got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Our President, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall, has visited the fictional Borsetshire Support Group on Radio 4's The Archers. Find out about the work of one of our Support Groups below.
The group is entering its eleventh year and is proud to celebrate the successful lobbying of politicians, healthcare professionals and organisations with the opening of a dedicated osteoporosis clinic and DEXA scanning unit for the population of Gwent, based in Panteg hospital. During the last 18 months, the group has raised £1200 to donate to this clinic, for the provision of patient chairs and leaflet racks.
Throughout the year they hold awareness days at:• Local shopping precincts• Local authority leisure centres
and provide stalls at:• Age UK events• GP surgery flu jab sessions• Local Authority health awareness days
The group are welcomed at three major Hospitals and four Primary Care Units where they provide leaflets, set up stalls and offer advice and help. Every month, they attend a local fracture clinic where they aim to make patients aware of the National Osteoporosis Society and its work.
Every six weeks they give talks to a falls prevention course, WI or other voluntary organisations in Gwent.Fundraising and awareness days are held at five supermarkets each year and the group rattle their tins and offer help and information to those who suffer from the disease or who are interested in finding out more about it. They regularly attend meetings with other local voluntary health organisations.
Sheila Fox – Chairlady (living with osteoporosis). Sheila fractured hip at 53 years of age and it made her realise the importance of early diagnosis and fracture prevention. She has one daughter, a beautiful grandson, an understanding husband and a faithful "Scottie" dog. She enjoys furniture restoration and is a member of the local quilting and sewing group. Time permitting, she grows flowers and vegetables from seed.
Pauline Lewis – Secretary (Pauline has osteopenia and osteogenesis imperfecta). Pauline has two daughters and three grandchildren. As group secretary, she writes a quarterly newsletter and is heavily involved with the organising of speakers, events, awareness days and fundraising. Pauline spends at least 3 days per week on group and national charity business.
Gwyneth Catley – committee member (living with osteoporosis). Gwneth is married with three sons and three grandchildren. Although she has osteoporosis, she travels several times a year to the historical cities of Europe. Her weekends are spent visiting national trust properties. She also finds time for U3A, Probus and the local Art Society. Gwyneth is an extremely talented artist and the group benefits from the paintings she donates to raffles throughout the year.
Jenny Davies – committee member (living with osteoporosis). Jenny has 5 grandchildren and is extremely diligent at improving her bone health. She is a member of a local walking club and leisure centre. Jenny is a very spirited lady who will take off to Australia at the drop of a hat! Jenny is always prepared to model for the group's fashion show.
Jasmin Garland– committee member (living with osteoporosis). Jasmin was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2001 after having debilitating back pain. She now eats a bone-healthy diet and is an avid walker. She has raised money for the National Osteoporosis Society and has trekked to Peru, the Himalayan mountains, Everest and the Great Wall of China.
Joyce Hickenbottom– committee member (living with osteoporosis). Joyce is one of the longest serving committee members and has grown up children and grandchildren. Joyce runs the group's monthly raffle. She has been involved with the Town Twinning society for over 40 years.
Eileen Seer – committee member (living with osteoporosis). Eileen has a grown up son and daughter and young grandchildren. She enjoys Church activities and does volunteer work in a charity shop. Eileen helps with refreshments and is involved with group fundraising.
Kay Jones – committee member (living with osteoporosis). Kay is married with four sons, seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Kay was shocked to be diagnosed with osteoporosis in 1998 as she has no family history and has always led a healthy lifestyle. She became involved with the group after meeting some members at an awareness day at a local supermarket. Invited to attend the group meetings, she brought a friend along and became a member of the charity. Kay is involved with collections and preparing refreshments for fundraising events.
Pat Hulston – committee member (living with osteoporosis). Pat is a married mother of grown up children and is also a grandmother. She is a volunteer at the local hospital and helps to raise funds for the group with market stalls and supermarket collections. Pat helps with awareness days and organising refreshments for fundraising events.
