Change may be a constant, but these stories of people re-inventing their lives and themselves asks why they would go so far.
It is said that change is the only constant in human life and there are countless examples to prove it. But there are those who change everything about themselves, literally inventing (or adopting) a new identity. What are we to make of these amazing cases? What do they say of the self and of the personas we all create?
THE UNEXPLAINEDTM presents the extraordinary stories of two people in search of answers to these questions. Hear from Cindy Jackson, an Ohio farm girl who became entranced with the looks and "lifestyle" of the Barbie doll. After 30 operations and $250,000, she has transformed herself into "the human Barbie." Then, examine the case of a Chicago man whose fascination with the world of Star Trek led him to abandon his wife and family in order to follow a "higher calling" as leader of the International Federation of Trekkers. Their stories are analyzed by psychologists and psychiatrists, among others, who shed light on their stunning HUMAN TRANSFORMATIONS.

African Lion Range
Fast Facts
- Type:
- Mammal
- Diet:
- Carnivore
- Size:
- Head and body, 4.5 to 6.5 ft (1.4 to 2 m); Tail, 26.25 to 39.5 in (67 to 100 cm)
- Weight:
- 265 to 420 lbs (120 to 191 kg)
- Group name:
- Pride
- Protection status:
- Vulnerable
- Size relative to a 6-ft (2-m) man:
Lions are the only cats that live in groups, which are called prides. Prides are family units that may include up to three males, a dozen or so females, and their young. All of a pride's lionesses are related, and female cubs typically stay with the group as they age. Young males eventually leave and establish their own prides by taking over a group headed by another male.
Only male lions boast manes, the impressive fringe of long hair that encircles their heads. Males defend the pride's territory, which may include some 100 square miles (259 square kilometers) of grasslands, scrub, or open woodlands. These intimidating animals mark the area with urine, roar menacingly to warn intruders, and chase off animals that encroach on their turf.
Female lions are the pride's primary hunters. They often work together to prey upon antelopes, zebras, wildebeest, and other large animals of the open grasslands. Many of these animals are faster than lions, so teamwork pays off.
After the hunt, the group effort often degenerates to squabbling over the sharing of the kill, with cubs at the bottom of the pecking order. Young lions do not help to hunt until they are about a year old. Lions will hunt alone if the opportunity presents itself, and they also steal kills from hyenas or wild dogs.
Lions have been celebrated throughout history for their courage and strength. They once roamed most of Africa and parts of Asia and Europe. Today they are found only in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, except for one very small population of Asian lions that survives in India's Gir Forest.

Thinking about trying this recipe. Always worth looking through previous comments for recommendations. The last 3-4 comments were a load of rubbish about money and cars. Is the web site vetting the comments? Judging by these comments - obviously not. I'm still interested in the recipe but may give up on the comments posted!

It's a dream of just about every Syracuse Orange football player who is lacing them up this week on Fort Drum, but an NFL career was also the dream of a man who decided to drop the cleats and pick up a rifle, even though a pro football career was possible. Our Brian Dwyer sat down with the now Fort Drum soldier who still has hopes, with some help from the Orange, the NFL will call again.
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- A college football training camp is nothing new to Fort Drum soldier Alejandro Villanueva. The now 23-year-old had the size colleges drool over and it earned him a plethora of scholarship offers.
"A kid that's 275, 6'7", he's going to be highly recruited," he said.
But with two dreams, one to play football and the other to lead a combat platoon in the military, there was only one choice: To play at West Point for Army.
"I always wanted to be infantry," Villanueva said. "I wanted to be boots on the ground with the ultimate experience of leadership. West Point offered me the fastest route to accomplish my goals."
But at the same time, Villanueva was standing out on the field. On a team known for running the football, he had over 500 yards receiving and five touchdowns his senior year.
After graduating, the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals came calling. He was invited to tryout at the team's minicamp.
"Knowing that I could compete and I could catch passes over people that played in the SEC and people that won national championships," he said of that experience. "It was really neat to see all my effort paid off at the end of the day."
But that dream was short lived. Shortly after arriving at the camp, Villanueva got a different call and had to leave.
"The Army's plans were different for me," he said of that call. "I had to hang up the cleats and pick up the rifle."
Villanueva needed to go to training schools and get ready to deploy to Afghanistan and he was going to be there for a year.
"The Army doesn't care whether you play football, basketball, lacrosse," he said. "You have an assignment and you have people who are going to be depending on you."
And believe it or not, Villanueva says serving with those people was everything he dreamed it would be.
"It was absolutely the best experience of my life," he said. "I wish I could do it again."
Villanueva even got a tryout with the Chicago Bears upon his return to the country, but the tour left him out of proper football shape and it didn't work out. His story has absolutely amazed the guys in Orange hoping to live the NFL dream as well.
"That would hurt if it was me, but it's good that he was able to do that and put the country first and that's a good thing," Orange junior RB Prince-Tyson Gulley said.
"You've got the chance to play football and do what you love, but he chose to protect our country. I respect it 100 percent," junior DT Zian Jones said.
In fact, everyone with the Orange respect it so much, the team has invited Villanueva to take part in its pro-day next year to show scouts what he can still do.
"If the opportunity arises, then it's great. If it doesn't, I've already accomplished my dream job, which is to be a platoon leader in combat," Villanueva said about the chance.
Villanueva says the most challenging part of trying to get back into football will be getting into the kind of shape you need to be successful and getting the time to do it.

WASHINGTON - Local transportation leaders want area residents to know that ending the solo drive to work in favor of ride sharing could save them time and money.
"(You) may be able to save $8,000 a year carpooling or using transit," says Walter Daniel, demand management coordinator for the Fairfax County Department of Transportation.
The region also offers cash incentives for people who use ride sharing to subsidize vanpools and encourage carpools.
"The number one thing is less stress," Daniel says. "You don't have to worry about texting while you're driving. You don't have to worry about traffic congestion."
Daniel's goal is to cut down on the number of trips taken with just one person in the car.
One big reason many people cite for using carpools or slug lines is access to HOV lanes they would not have been able to use if they were alone. The benefits also include free access to the new Beltway Express Lanes.
Local governments are less involved in slugging than in other forms of ride sharing and transit, but there is a relatively new app just for employees at seven locations impacted by BRAC that aims to pair workers with other military personnel heading in the same direction.
WeGoMil includes an automated payment system and is intended to help workers going to or from DHHQ, Fort Belvoir, the National GeoSpatial-Intelligence Agency, Mark Center, Navy Yard, Quantico Marine Base or Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
"It's like real-time ride sharing for the government," Daniel says, adding that it seems to be catching on.
The app is available for both iPhone and Android devices. It includes information like photos and the car that a user should be looking for. App users must must have a .mil, .gov or certain .org email address.
The app offers rewards for referring friends and for some of the service's most frequent users.
It charges $1 for the first mile, 20 cents per mile for the next nine miles and 10 cents per mile after that. Eighty-five percent of the cash goes to the driver, up to $0.55 per mile.
If area residents do carpool, vanpool, bike or take public transportation to work on a regular basis, they are eligible for the Guaranteed Ride Home Program.
"Four times a year, regardless of what time it is, you join the Guaranteed Ride Home Program and you get a free ride home in case of unexpected emergency at home - your kid's sick or your boss asks you to work late," Daniel explains.
It is not available during severe weather like snowstorms, but at other times, a person is guaranteed a car will show up within ten minutes after he or she calls. To register for the free program, click here.

Don't expect bikini clad ladies shaking their hips to samba music on the streets after reading the word "Carnival", it happens in Brazil and the one I went to was Mexican kinds. Autlán, a town in the state of Jalisco, was my destination for the long weekend and it was not for the usual hiking, adventure or photography but for a carnival - Carnaval Autlán 2008. It was an impulsive decision of going along with few friends, which was worthy in all sense. Before I say more about the carnival, let me summarize the carnival with 3Ds - Dance, Dames and Drinking.
Located about 150Km south-west from Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, Autlán claims the fame of giving birth to, one of my favourite guitarists, Carlos Santana. The drive from Guadalajara takes unusually long time due to single lane roads, traffic and curves. Autlán has the most pleasing weather all year round and is just an hour and a half away from Barra de Navidad, the nearest beach. The town is surrounded by mountains and has umpteen farms of blue agaves, which is the main ingredient of "One shot-two shot- three shot-FLOOR" tequila, the national drink of Mexico. I had heard that women from Jalisco are the prettiest in Mexico, but during this trip the statement was proved QED.
Autlán carnival is held for 10 days before it gets terminated on Ash Wednesday and hence it can start as early as 25th January or as late as 1st March. The specialties of the carnival include rodeo and bull fighting, Banda music and dance and crowning of the beauty queen of Autlán. The sounds of Banda starts hitting the air waves near the town center as early as 10 in the morning, replacing the idle chatter of the crowd. Bands carrying brass trumpets and trombones, gigantic sousaphones, alto horns and drums crowd the street Callejon del Vicio, making everybody move their pelvises to the banda tunes. By evening, without any caste-creed-sex bar, the street is herded by people to the brim. It takes eternally long to pass the street just 200 meters long. There are beverage vendors on one side serving gallons of beer, whiskey, tequila and all the imaginable cocktails out of it, not a single person on street is empty handed. Even the dancer would have his beer while dancing. The bands are umpteen in number and you can get them to play a song for you, while you can hook up with a senorita for a round of dance. As I was passing through the crowd trying to reach the other end of road, I saw two ladies holding jars fitted with spray guns and inviting everybody for a shot. I couldn't hold myself from trying it, as I went and opened my mouth wide open a strong jet of tequila hit my throat and filled my mouth in no time. They don't stop until you close your mouth. As they say, free booze tastes better, it did taste a lot nice and I parted my lips once again for another shot, thanked them and went ahead.
I had a rare privilege to witness the delirious Rodeo (bull riding) show. The auriferous arena contained hatted horsemen making their horses dance rhythmically to the banda music. The frenzy crowd was cheering for the vaquero who was getting ready to ride the bull which was being aroused and chevied within the pen. As the gates were pulled open, the bull with all it's machismo and might started jumping chaotically and crazily trying to throw the vaquero down. It danced and sprang and leapt all over the arena until the vaquero was down on ground and running for his life. Then the horsemen threw their knots to control the bull and finally a man with a spear would poke the bull until it withdrew into passage outside arena. The more time the vaquero holds on to the bull, the better he is. Tequila and beer were profusely served for the audience. After a gap of 2 hours there was bull fight, but we couldn't watch it for time and cost reasons.
A less violent and more aesthetic event that pulled an enormous crowd was the crowning of La Reina, the queen of Autlán. The stage was well set with elevated grand thrones for the crowned ones, bottom lit ramp, lavish flower vases and colourful lights. The crowd was restlessly waiting for the event to start, after few glitches in the microphone the event kick-started with few live songs by an unknown artist, followed by ramp walk of the beauty queen contestants and finally crowning the La Reina.
The carnival also had many well known artists/musicians performing live, but we didn't have time for that. This is the first ever carnival of my life which would give sweet memoirs years down the line and I highly recommend this event, for not many Mexicans are aware of this carnival.

Maria Adams, MS, MPH, RD
The primary goal of this diet is to lower your levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad, cholesterol. This diet may also raise your levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good, cholesterol. Having too much LDL cholesterol, and/or not enough HDL cholesterol, can lead to a condition known as
, which causes plaque to build up in your arteries. Plaque buildup narrows and hardens your arteries, increasing your risk of having a
heart attack
A cholesterol test should be done after a 9- to12-hour fast. The results that you want to focus on are the total, LDL, and HDL levels.
Diet is one of several factors that affect cholesterol levels. Other factors include heredity, age, sex, physical inactivity, and being overweight. The main dietary components that impact cholesterol levels are
cholesterol, and
Fat is an essential nutrient with many responsibilities, including transporting the fat soluble vitamins
, and
, protecting vital organs, and providing a sense of fullness after meals. Fat can be broken down into four main types:
Fats that increase LDL levels and should be avoided or limited:
Saturated fat
Found in margarine and vegetable shortening, shelf stable snack foods, and fried foods, it increases total blood cholesterol, especially LDL levels.
Hydrogenated or
Found in margarine and vegetable shortening, it increases total blood cholesterol, including LDL levels. It also decreases HDL levels.
Fats that improve cholesterol profile and should be eaten in moderation:
Monounsaturated fat
Found in oils such as olive and canola, it can decrease total cholesterol level while keeping levels of HDL high.
Polyunsaturated fat
Found in oils such as safflower, sunflower, soybean, corn, and sesame, it can decrease total cholesterol.
Less than 10% of calories should come from saturated fat on a cholesterol-lowering diet.
fat intake should be as little as possible, ideally reduced to zero.
On an 1,800 calorie diet, this translates into less than 20 grams of saturated fat per day, leaving 40 grams to come from mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
Dietary cholesterol is found only in animal products. Although dietary cholesterol can increase LDL cholesterol, it does not affect it nearly as much as saturated or
fats. On a cholesterol-lowering diet, you should consume no more than 200 milligrams of cholesterol a day.
Eating a diet high in soluble fiber can help lower your LDL cholesterol. There are two main types of
: soluble and insoluble. While both are very important to health, only soluble fiber impacts cholesterol levels. When soluble fiber is digested, it dissolves into a gel-like substance that helps block the absorption of fat and cholesterol into the bloodstream.
Soluble fiber is found in foods such as oatmeal, oat bran, barley, soy products, legumes, apples, and strawberries. On a cholesterol-lowering diet you should consume at least 5-10 grams of soluble fiber per day, and ideally 10-25 grams.
Stanols and sterols are substances found in certain plants. Plant stanols and sterols can lower LDL cholesterol levels in a similar way to soluble fiber, by blocking their absorption from the digestive tract. Certain foods, including margarines and orange juice, are now being fortified with these cholesterol-lowering substances. Research shows that consuming at least 2 grams of plant stanols or sterols a day can reduce LDL cholesterol by more than 10%.

Schwartz medals in SA win
South Adams' Sam Schwartz recorded one par and two bogeys and led a field of ten golfers with a round of 52 Wednesday afternoon to take medalist honors by a stroke and led the Starfires to a 216-244 win over Wes-Del in varsity girls golf at Golf Club of the Limberlost.
Wes-Del had two golfers a stroke behind Schwartz, but a pack of mid 50 scores helped South Adams overcome that. Kristen Lehman and Abbie Fisher both shot 54s for the Starfires and Kristal All rounded out the scoring with a 56. Alleigh Wingler shot a 62.
South Adams' junior varsity beat an incomplete Wes-Del team. Kelli Lehman shot 67 for South Adams, Adrianna Teeter and Maddie Graber shot 71s, Catlyn Hofstetter 77 and Ellerie Baer 78.

Also such things as city maps, recommended restaurants etc. added a nice touch. All in all, more valute for the money than a hotel - and also cheaper. Highly recommendend :-)
The best located accommodation I've found in Verona, the terrace has a breathtaking view, but it needs to be decorated, if so, it would look really better. The apartment is comfortable and warm. We'll come back.

President's Notebook
My View from South Hill
Wednesday, December 31, 2008
This is the time of year for New Year's resolutions, and I don't want to be left out. I decided to seek inspiration for my own list of commitments in the coming year by looking online to see what other people are resolving. Looks like human nature didn't change much during 2008 – our resolutions for 2009 still center primarily on developing good habits (like exercising more), and getting rid of bad habits (examples too numerous to mention).
Among all those resolutions, one caught my eye: "I will no longer waste my time re-living the past, but will instead start worrying about the future." Captures the Zeitgeist of the new year pretty well, don't you think?
I won't be adding "Worry about the future" to my own list of resolutions on behalf of Ithaca College. I do, however, want to plan for the future in a way that is informed by the difficult economy of the present. So here are a few of my own resolutions for 2009:
- Ithaca College will increase the cost of tuition in the coming year by a smaller percentage than at any time in the last five years.
- We will increase our financial aid budget by the largest amount in College history.
- We will expand our emergency financial aid fund for those students whose personal or family financial circumstances change in unexpected ways while they are enrolled.
- We will move ahead with our strategic priorities to advance educational excellence, even where those require new funding.
- We will pay for the reduced rate of tuition increase, the increased financial aid, and the excellence initiatives in part by scrutinizing expenditures within the College. We will question whether each category of expenditure directly contributes to the quality of the student educational experience. Where it does not, we will evaluate the continued need for that expenditure.
- We will ask our friends and alumni to help us assemble the resources necessary to keep Ithaca College as accessible as possible to all students of talent.
As we develop our detailed budget at Ithaca College for the coming year, I will be communicating with our students, prospective students, friends and supporters about how we plan to respond to the changed economic environment. Our priorities, though, are already set: to maintain the excellence of the Ithaca College experience and to keep that experience as affordable as possible.
It helps a lot that we are consistently named by US News and World Report as one of the top ten "Great Schools, Great Prices" in our category. But this is no time to rest on our laurels. It is instead a moment in which we must act with unity and clarity of purpose.
Sounds like a better approach than worrying, don't you think?
