Wow, what a great experience tonight! Free parking, free admission, festival seating and full access to the field and dugouts. That jumbo screen is soooooo great! After a short while you forget that it's not live!. All the camera shots and commentary made it a great night indeed! And of course, we won! Thanks Mariners for the great treat tonight! We could not have asked for anything more!
Is there anything that can elevate the Mariner's game experience? Besides maybe a new team...
Hope they'll tune into other games in progress so we all can watch real MLB baseball while the farm team plays on the field!
Lets give the company that installed the screen a yell! Kudos to all the hard working team!
Take this... It'll make ya feel better.Â
No, yer still sick, and the temperature and symptoms won't go away. But you'll feel better.
the better the player the bigger the ego, the bigger the ego the more  big screen is needed, this sould really get the best
I love baseball. Â I really love baseball a lot. Â I would watch a neighborhood pickup game just to see pitches thrown and hear bats connecting with the leather bound orb. Â Yup, I love baseball and played the game for a lot of years even though I possess marginal talent for the game. Â Thank heaven above for a daughter who is a flight attendant so I get super cheap flights to cities where the home team wins more than it looses. Â Sorry Seattle, but ya would be a bunch better off getting new ownership and front office management instead of bigger and better toys. Â 'Scuse me now while I go watch Texas win a game.
Wow! There sure are a lot of baseball haters. Please be sure to NEVER attend a game especially you people born and raise in Renton that dress up like Red Sox fans when they come to town.
Will there be any room to actually have the Mariners on the screen or is it going to be all gigantic ads?
M's have serious competition this year for the cellar dweller postion with the Astro's joining the AL West....
Worthless if they still don't show replays or even somewhat controversial calls on it. I've always hated that aspect of going to a Mariners game.
I for one am a fan and will always be a fan, in good times and bad. Investment in infrastructure makes sense in the long term, something to entice a return of the All Star game? Moving the fences in also makes sense. Hope springs eternal every year with opening day, and I'll wear my cap and jersey proudly.
The only thing that will enhance a Mariners game is Them winning ,not some video screen. Whats the name of the new screen going to be................... Â "The what could have been highlights screen." Â
Forget about fielding a good team! We want bobblehead giveaways and hydro races on the big screen! We live for the Safeco Field Experience!
The only way that screen will elevate the Mariners is if it were placed on the field and played videos of when we were good.
Quit your bitching people. Pool your money and buy the Mariners and move them to Tacoma. where they can play in a dome!
This spring training has me excited for the season. Nice TV too. How about the new fence and restruant?
Oh, good, because that's worth a $150 evening at Safeco. God knows nobody in Seattle is unrealistic enough to go there to see quality baseball.
Idiots. They could have salvaged the scoreboard Jeff Smulyan bought back in the day. They want to do the old-school ballpark thing, except for all the changes necessary to extract as much money as possible from suckers who still think that major league baseball is an event worth experiencing anymore. The result is a patchwork anachronistic half-billion dollar abomination that we said we didn't want, featuring the worst team in the history of major league baseball.
A gigantic new screen to see in much higher clarity the gigantic waste of space that is the Mariners.
@Goodwin I agree, as a lifelong Braves fan, I never turned my back on the Braves, win or lose. As a Mariners fan,now for a little over seven years, I will live and die with them. I am right in the heart of Winslow, so I can easily get on the ferry, and walk to games,I love it! i am going to my second opening night game, so excited!
@IAMARUNNER i agree with your comment.. Also what a waste of money. Could have used it to buy better players offensively..
@Steve Giovanis @slappywag Â
Perhaps because his taxes were used to support the Mariners/ Safeco Field for 15 years? Â Perhaps because, as a Seattle-area resident, he is embarrassed by them being the SEATTLE Mariners?
@Thusky59Â @IAMARUNNERÂ 1) They did bring in better offensive players. 2) Yeah they aren't Josh Hamilton, but guess what a guy with maybe 3 years left is looking for a ring not to be the center piece of a team in a decade long process of rebuilding.
Just look at the Seahawks and the free agents and trades they are pulling off. That wasn't happening when they were 4-12.
@Kramula @Steve Giovanis
I like when other people speak for others.
@wysoumible If you are spending $150 for an evening at Safeco you are doing it wrong.  Please tell me the events that are worth the experience so I can stop doing things I enjoy.Â

When and how should I apply for financial aid?
Our priority deadline for scholarships and awards is March 1. If you miss the deadline, you will still be considered for all financial aid available, but you run the risk of missing some opportunities.
New students need to fill out the Application for Admission and Scholarships. If you want to receive financial aid, students must submit the FAFSA each year (available January 1st.)
What is the difference between merit awards and need-based aid?
Merit awards are based on a student's talents and/or achievements and are available at Bethany in the areas of academics, servant leadership, athletics, and fine arts. A family's ability to pay is not factored in when these are awarded.
Need-based aid is awarded to admitted students based solely on ability to pay as determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
How do I apply for need-based aid?
Students are asked to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our school code is 001904.
Can I receive a financial aid award before I apply for admission?
Students who want to know where they stand financially with Bethany before applying need to fill out our Net Price Calculator. This will give you an estimated award that you could receive based on your financial information.
What if my financial situation changes during the year or I have special circumstances not shown on my FAFSA?
Families who feel they have encountered a significant financial change or have special circumstances and would like to request a review of a current aid package should contact the office of Financial Aid to fill out a Professional Judgement form.
Can I receive financial aid if I study overseas?
The financial aid a student is able to receive when studying abroad may differ depending on the program and/or University as well as the terms of enrollment. Typically, enrollment in a program of study abroad approved for credit by the home institution may be considered enrollment in the home institution for purposes of applying for federal student financial aid. In most cases Bethany will honor academic merit scholarships for which the student qualifies. Other awards will be subject to the approval of the program director.
Additional scholarship opportunities may be available. Students are encouraged to contact Student Financial Services early in the planning process. Please see our Study Abroad page for more information.
How do I know if I am selected for verification an what do I need to do?
Once you submit your FAFSA form you will get an email that shows your Expected Family Contribution or (EFC). If your number has an asterisk or (*) beside it, this means you are selected for verification.
(Example: Estimated Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = 003650*)
People are randomly selected for verification by the government every year. If you are selected for verification, the school will follow up with you on what forms we will need to complete your award process.
How do I access my account balance online?
Log-in to the student's eSwede account found on our Bethany website located at the top of the page. (If you don't know your log-in information, contact the admissions office (785-227-3380.) Once logged in, click on the "Current Students" tab at the top of the page. On the current students page under "My Account Info" you will click on "Course Fee and Statement." Select the current term you are needing your account balance for and click "Generate my Course and Fee Statement." You will see a PDF file show up in blue. (Example: View my Course and Fee Statement for Term: Spring 2014 Undergraduate .) Click on this and this sheet will break down what classes you are taking, what you are being charged for, and what has been awarded and applied to your account. Notice on any loans you take out , what has been applied to your account might be different then what has been awarded. When you take out loans, the government automatically takes out an origination fee. (To calculate your account balance, you will want to take the total charges minus what has been applied to your account.)
No results.

When bold new ideas come along to help you take control of your finances, we love to tell you about them; that's why we're here.
We also strive to be transparent, because we're human. David and I have always shared about how we've messed up our finances in the past, and then took positive steps to regain control. It's not about perfection, but correction. We all make mistakes, or get into tough spots. It's how we respond to those missteps and obstacles that makes all the difference.
That's why this column is particularly special. If there's one financial lament I hear from readers and students, it involves how student loan debt is strangling them. As the founder of AOL's Money College, I asked former Loyola University Chicago student Fruzsina Eordogh to tell the story of her travails with Sallie Mae. That column touched a nerve: More than 1 million people read it, making it one of the most popular pieces that week.
Got Student Loans? You're not Alone!
Today, young adults carry around more than $26,000 in student loan debt on average, according to The Project on Student Debt. It's an albatross for young adults trying to establish themselves financially. Can anything be done? Who's out there to help?
Dan Macklin (pictured), the co-founder of SoFi, wondered much the same while finishing up at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. It was 2011, and over drinks with a few of his classmates, the group talked about the state of the student loan realm—a state of emergency, if you prefer.
"We were horrified by the high rates people were patting for student loans, and 93 percent of loans are made by the government, so there is very little choice for students out there," Macklin says. "It's an underserved market and we wanted to bring a new solution, something that was completely fresh."
And so Macklin set to work immediately. He graduated Stanford on a Saturday and started SoFi the following Monday.
Enter SoFi: Student Loan Refinancing With Help From Your Alumni Network
Let's say, for example, that you lose your job. SoFi's network has set up uses those same alumni connections to help you get a new job, or get started with professional development. (For that reason alone, I wish SoFi existed and that I was a part of it when I lost my Chicago Tribune staff job in 2009.)
As for the loan rates, they're likely to beat anything you currently — even through the federal government. If you sign up for a fixed rate loan with AutoPay deductions, you'll be starting as low as 4.99 percent APR. For variable rate loans, the starting rate with AutoPay is 2.92 percent APR.
SoFi will also originate new student loans, but borrowers looking to refinance student loans will likely see the greatest financial benefit.
SoFi is still very much a growing concern, and so your school may not be on the list of 100 schools represented. (My alma mater, Rutgers, has yet to join forces.) Visit SoFi to see if your school is on the list. If it doesn't, Macklin and the SoFi team encourage you to talk to your school's financial aid office, alumni office, or your own community within social networks to get the ball rolling, or to contact SoFi directly.
All of this made me wonder: Why would alumni and institutional investments get involved in helping SoFi lend to students and graduates of your college, my college, or any college? Here, Macklin appeals not just to school spirit, but the community spirit that once drove the banking industry.
"It is simple: It's a return to the community banking days where people banked within their towns and villages, and everyone knew everyone" Mackin says. "It has a bit more heart and soul to it."
Yet clearly, SoFi approaches this with 21st Century savvy. Based in San Francisco, it combines social networks, high tech and a fresh, entrepreneurial vision to create a breakthrough financial tool where none existed before.
In two years, the company has grown to 70 full-time employees, with 2,500 borrowers, and $200 million in loans funded. SoFi is also running an entrepreneur program to help students and alumni take the next step towards making their business dreams come true.
"We help to connect them with investors and help them to start this business," Macklin says. "We had two entrepreneurs who went the through this last year. One sold [their business] to Intuit and the other raised $1 million. We can claim some small part of helping them out of their success."
All of this and more explains why we're teaming up with SoFi to lend a hand to Money Under 30 readers. If your student loans have you over a barrel, or feeling despondent about your future, then we can say in this case you're truly not alone: alumni through the SoFi network are waiting to help.
Also, Money Under 30 readers who are approved for a SoFi loan will receive $100 off their first interest payment.

Watch: 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Footage Shows Dr. Connors Becoming a Vile, Disgusting Lizard
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs superhero fever sweeps across the world and The Amazing Spider-Man's release date approaches, the film's Viral Videos Division (I assume this is a thing movies have) is ramping up their efforts and doing everything possible to get the public excited about Spidey's new screen villain, The Lizard. To that end, two new videos have been released: one that's structured as a fake recruitment video and feels all virally, and another that looks like the traditional sort of featurette you'd find in a DVD's special features menu or whatnot.

Albert Camus wrote, "Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
Barbara Fassett, a retired managing planner for Chesterfield County, was a friend of mine and a friend to her colleagues and her County for many years before retiring last year.
It is hard to describe what a friend is; as she worked tirelessly for the planning Department. In charge of the comprehensive plan, she met many people as she worked with them to identify and improve their community. That's just what she did for the Chester community. For the 25 years that Barbara worked for the County there were 25 individual communities, which were part of the comprehensive plan.
Barbara loved the small community where she lived with her daughter Elizabeth. But then Barbara loved all the communities of Chesterfield and found that each could find its sense of place. As she worked with the communities in Chesterfield she became friends with anyone she worked with to improve the place in which they lived. She was not just some worker from the County who had come out to tell folks how their community should be; she had a genuine interest in making things better for everyone.
I had never, in the 12 years that I knew her, ever heard anyone say one negative word about her. She could always be depended on to offer a smile and a nice word.
In 2004, her work brought her to Chester along with Sara Carter to help make Chester a more livable and cohesive place where neighbors and all of the community could share in the responsibility of making our home the best.
A few years after meeting her, I had written a disparaging article about how our community was described on the County's website. It was only a couple of days later when Ms. Carter called me to set up a meeting with her and Barbara to discuss how they might help change the image of Chester. They got to work and almost 300 people packed the cafeteria in the former Chester Middle School building. The group had hundreds of ideas and ways to improve the Chester community.
Later she told me, smiling with her full welcoming smile, that you all sure have a lot on your plate, maybe you should pick just a few things that you could really change. She encouraged us to form a group that could help accomplish the goals of the community. She said she would be there to help.
Now, I don't know much about her private life except that she loved her daughter Elizabeth. I have no doubt about that. If she loved Elizabeth anymore than she loved her County, Elizabeth had to be one of the most loved people around.
Barbara spent the final years of her job in the Chesterfield County Planning Department working on what was known as the Countywide Comprehensive Plan that took over three years to complete. I watched as she planned meeting after meeting to make sure that everyone had a voice in this most important document. It surely had to be a whirlwind for her, but during the process, as during the rest of her life, she had to have added hundreds to the list of her friends.
Chesterfield was not her home. She held from Northern Virginia and Maryland and her family continues to live there today. But she adopted Chesterfield and lived here for almost half of her life. When she retired from the planning department, she said it would give her more time to look after her daughter who had some challenges.
It was a week ago, Monday, when our friend fell victim to a senseless killing. Barbara Fassett and her daughter Elizabeth died by gunshot at the hands of Herbert Bland Jr. Bland also killed his father. Reports say Bland was mentally unstable.
This is not a comment on gun violence or any political rant on gun ownership. Barbara was a friend to me just as she probably found friendship with whomever she encountered, and I'm sure she'd treated Herbert Bland Jr., with respect and friendship until he became a problem. When I found out about Barbara and her daughter, I was knocked back on my heels. These things don't happen to good people you know and have enormous respect for.
After Barbara and her daughter Elizabeth were murdered, there was no special memorial service. Her ashes were sent to Northern Virginia where her family would memorialize her in their own way. Hundreds of her friends memorialized her in a small way by signing an online guest book at J.T. Morriss Funeral Home.
I'm certain whoever reads this column will remember Barbara in their own way. This has been my own selfish way of memorializing her for myself. There are too many good things to say about her and I have missed most of them. I can say one thing for sure; for those who knew her, all you have to do is think of her, close your eyes tightly and you will see her smiling face, her bright eyes and hear her voice saying nothing but nice things.
Nice tribute to Barbara Fassett. In all honesty, I had never heard of her before seeing the story of her murder on the evening news. Your editorial provides meaningful perspective into such a senseless tragedy. Coupled with the death of Sgt. Aaron X. Wittman in Afghanistan, Village News was certainly a newsworthy but very grim issue this week.

Meredith Shaw CD Release - The Rivoli, Toronto - May 10th, 2011
Review and Photos by Valerie Bennett
Meredith Shaw is in her happy place and isn't afraid to share it, with the release of her debut album on May 10th. The ten-track album, titled A Place Called Happy, was produced by Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar) at Willie Nelson's studio in Texas.
The singer/songwriter celebrated the album's release with friends, family, and media at The Rivoli last Tuesday. Guests received a goodie bag of candy treats upon their arrival, but the goodies didn't stop there. Tiers of colourful cupcakes adorned the bar, while the tables were stocked with bottles of blowing bubbles and star-shaped sunglasses. Shaw's merch table was filled with more candies, chocolates, and lip balms (from muffymade, her own line of gifts and greeting cards) along with, of course, her new album. The atmosphere that Shaw had created for her release party served as an apt indicator of her own quirky, feminine personality.
The show began with a brief video of Shaw recounting her experiences with making A Place Called Happy, before the screen was lifted and the band kicked off the set. Shaw joined them onstage and the crowd cheered, as she performed her signature blend of pop, folk and country music.
While her soft melodies proved to hook those in attendance, it was her bright, fun-loving and slightly sensual demeanour that made her stand out as a new artist. She interacted with the audience in between each song, explaining the meaning behind each and what inspired them.
She performed tracks such as "Joey", "King of the Road", "Stars" and "Little Fishy". Shaw made a special dedication for the song "Girls Who Believe", the final track from A Place Called Happy. The single has been featured on the popular Canadian television show Degrassi. Since its debut on the show, Shaw has developed a traveling showcase of the same name, targeted toward high school girls. The Girls Who Believe showcase approaches self-esteem, songwriting and careers in the field of music.
Shaw wrapped up her set, genuinely thanking everyone for attending, before joining the crowd to mingle, chat and just be happy.

Until recently, much of the research on students' understanding of statistical ideas has focused on their conceptions of center (e.g., Mokros and Russell 1995) or on what constitutes a good sample (e.g., Jacobs 1999). However, in the past decade research on students' statistical thinking has broadened and increasing interest has been paid to how students think about variability in data or variability in distributions of data. Within the field of statistics, variability arises everywhere. Data vary, samples vary, and distributions vary. Furthermore, variation occurs both within samples and distributions as well as across samples and distributions. A large part of statistical analysis often involves parsing out the relative contributions and locations of sources of variation in data, in samples, and in distributions.
Among the questions that researchers have investigated in considering student thinking about variability are:
A number of studies have begun to provide evidence for developmental trajectories in students' thinking about variability. Reading and Shaughnessy (2004) used the results from students' work on several statistical tasks to hypothesize both a description hierarchy and a causation hierarchy for students' thinking about variability. In these hierarchies lower level student responses might be concerned only with outliers or only with middles, whereas higher level responses might begin to mention both middles and extremes in data. At an even higher level a student response might discuss the connections between middles in data and the variability of data dispersed around a middle, or might even point out deviations of data from some fixed value, such as the mean or median. A closer look at some students' responses on several research tasks will help further clarify the development of students' thinking about variability.
Variability in Data Collected over Time
Data sets tell stories, and the heart of any statistical story is usually contained in the variability in the data. When analyzing data, the role of a student or a statistician is to be a "data detective," to uncover the stories that are hidden in the data. From a data-detective point of view, important signals in the variability are noted. Such signals are particularly evident in data that are collected over time, such as the data on annual consumption of fruit juice collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, depicted in figure 1. When asked what the overall pattern in the data was, and why the data might be varying, middle and secondary students' responses went from no idea: "This is just crazy, I have no idea why it would do that, it looks totally random!" to reasons that had some substance but were not applicable to the type of data: "It's going up because the population is growing, and so we're drinking more," to intricate analyses and detail: "The general trend is a line upward. People are drinking more fruit juice per person. Maybe they are drinking less milk, so more fruit juice. Also, there are years when things go way up or down—maybe there were new products introduced in the early 1980s to make it go up, or a bad frost around 1990 to make it go down." These excerpts show a spectrum of student reasoning on this task that ranges from no recognition of potential sources of variation in the data—just thinking it's random variation, to a naïve conception of a cause for an increasing trend (population growth), to a rather deep analysis of why the per capita increase may be occurring with some potential viable reasons for the ups and downs in the consumption over time (Shaughnessy 2007). We need to provide more opportunities for students to be "data detectives" to give them a chance to develop and share their reasoning about sources of variation in data over time (Shaughnessy and Pfannkuch 2002).
Variability in Data Obtained from Repeated Sampling
Researchers have begun to build a conceptual model to describe the progression of students' reasoning about variation on repeated sampling tasks, similar to the candy-sampling task below. In such sampling tasks, researchers have been interested in what students will predict for the outcomes of an empirical sampling distribution when repeated samples are drawn from either a known or unknown "population."
Candy Sampling Task. Custom Candies assembles Ten Sweets Bags for the holiday season. Their machines fill bags with 10 candies by scooping up exactly 10 each time from a giant mixture that is constantly adjusted to have 7000 red (70% red) and 3000 green (30% green). What would you predict for the number of reds that would occur in 1 bag of 10 candies? What would you predict for the numbers of reds that would occur in a collection of 50 bags of 10 candies each?
Students' reasoning on such repeated sampling tasks indicate a progression from ikonic, to additive, to proportional, and finally to distributional types of reasoning. According to Kelly and Watson (2002), some students, particularly younger students, reason ikonically, because they refer to physical circumstances or personal stories when they predict sample outcomes. Ikonic reasoners say such things as, "They might get more reds because their hand could find them," or "Maybe they are lucky and will get all reds," without any reference to the actual contents or the proportion of colors in the mixture. Both Watson and her colleagues, and Shaughnessy and his colleagues have found numerous examples of the other types of student reasoning about variability in repeated sampling contexts (Watson and Kelly 2002; Shaughnessy, Ciancetta, and Canada 2004). In research with grade 6–12 students, Shaughnessy and his colleagues (2004) found that additive reasoners predicted that a lot of red candies would be in the bags of 10 candies "because there are more reds in the mixture." Additive reasoners never referred to the actual percent of reds, or proportion of reds, just that "there are more," thus, theirs is a frequency-based argument. In contrast, proportional reasoners tend to predict "around 7 reds in 10 candies" for this sampling problem, defending their predictions with such statements as, "There are 70% red," or "I'd expect 7 red out of the 10 candies, because that is the ratio in the mixture." Proportional reasoners explicitly discuss the connections between sample proportions and population proportions. Distributional reasoners go one step further and combine both centers and spreads in their reasoning about such sampling problems. They make comparisons between the sample proportions and the population proportion, and they also explicitly mention variation about the expected value. In the candy sampling problem above, distributional reasoners say such things as, "I'd expect a range of numbers of reds in the bags, clustering around 7 reds. Some bags will have a little less, say 5 or 6 reds; others will have 8 or 9 or even 10."
Variability—variation in data, in samples, and in distributions of data —is a fundamental idea in statistics and in decision making from data. When students start to attend to variability, they may also begin to notice shapes of various distributions (i.e., flat, humped, double humped, and so forth). However, the research shows that attention to just one of the aspects of a distribution (e.g., center, shape, or spread) does not necessarily guarantee that students will pay attention to the other aspects as they investigate data. Students need some time to be able to integrate the various aspects of a distribution —center, shape, and spread —into a coherent whole as they grow as "data detectives." The research suggests that students' understanding of variability can develop over time if they are given consistent opportunities to explore data and if they are explicitly asked to attend to variability. We hear a very clear message from the research on students' understanding of variability: In the world of statistics and data analysis, there is more to life than centers!

Besides enrolling my elementary-school-aged child in enrichment classes, how can I keep her academically engaged during the summer months?
It's a good idea to expose your child to as many different things as possible at an early age. Museums and children's events are excellent. I took my own daughter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art because there's a lot of stuff to do for kids there and it's very very engaging and interesting.
Keep in mind that exposure to different things is very important so that your child has a well-rounded education. At our center we do astronomy, we do biology at the kids' developmental level, but it shouldn't just be science that they're exposed to. The important thing is to focus on things they are curious about. Maybe they're going to learn about butterflies. Maybe when they observe something in nature they'll want to go to the library and get a book and further expand that curiosity. That's why you need to expose them to as much as possible.
Be very observant when it comes to your child. See what they play and introduce new toys, because children tend to play with the same thing over and over again and they get bored quickly. Any time you buy a toy it should be really educational. And before you just let the child play with that toy you should definitely show them how the toy should be used. A lot of parents say they buy toys but the kids don't play with them. "We have so many toys at home but the kids don't play. Why?" Because the kids don't know how to play with the new toys. Sometimes they need company to play with certain toys. So it's a good idea to sit down and demonstrate how the toy should be played, keep the child company, play together.
Definitely limit TV for sure because that's not really encouraging the child's thinking.
Expose children to a lot of new things, buy educational toys, and demonstrate to the child. Be very observant of your child, listen to the child, to their interests and what they want to do, but sometimes parents listen to them too much, because the children don't know. You have to keep kids occupied and show them the world because they don't know much yet. When I say, "listen to the child," I don't mean if the child wants something just give it to them, I mean be observant of what kind of child you have.
Is your child very creative? Interested in science? Then go with those interests. If your child is very artistic and likes painting you can go that direction more, but also try everything. Sometimes it seems the child is artistic but if you show them something in the sciences they'll realize they like it, and you'd never know if you hadn't tried. I believe in multiple intelligence and exposing the child to very many different things. It doesn't mean you need to enroll them in 15 programs, just show them one thing at a time.
What can teachers and parents do to help kids who are reluctant about learning—especially learning outside of the school setting—to get excited about the process and become lifelong learners?
I think parents need to know right from the start that they need to educate children as early as possible. I prefer for children to always be ahead never catching up.
We're always learning. Parents are afraid of putting kids in too many programs because they think, "They're going to be in school all their lives, just let them play!" But what do you think they're doing when they're playing? They're learning to play, and that's how they learn things.
They're digging a hole. They saw a worm. They're evaluating the dirt. They taste the dirt and the parents will say, "Don't put it in your mouth!" but what they're doing is they're learning the world. You cannot stop them from that.
They learn through play. They're touching, smelling, seeing, evaluating the world…that's how they do it. You cannot stop them, so you may as well put them in a program that encourages learning. We're not putting them in a desk with a worksheet at two years old for two hours or five hours. What I mean is, create an environment where they can learn something. That's my philosophy.

Hollywood spent the weekend celebrating themselves -- first up, the Critics Choice Awards! There were some amazing standouts amongst the women walking the red carpet, plus a handful of WTFs and a couple of ladies just phoning it in. Only a few completely knocked my socks off, but hopefully that's because everyone else was saving the glam for the Golden Globes? (Find out when we post that slideshow later this morning...)

Democratizing International Business and Human Rights by Catalyzing Strategic Litigation: The Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the U.N. Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights from the Bottom UpLarry Catá BackerPennsylvania State University - Dickinson School of Law Nabih HaddadMichigan State University - College of Education Tomonori TeraokaUniversity of Tokyo Keren WangCommunication Arts & Sciences; Pennsylvania State University - School of International Affairs September 14, 2013 Abstract: With the June 2011 endorsement of the U.N. Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights by the U.N. Human Rights Council, the international community entered a new phase in the approach to the important work of developing global norms for economic activity with human rights impacts, irrespective of the states in which these occur. But the business and human rights project still privileges the state and the elite communities of enterprises, lawyers and civil society organizations that form the networks of norm creation and operationalization on which the objects of human rights discourse are dependent. To effectively implement the Guiding Principles requires an empowerment of all stakeholders down the supply and value chain. This empowerment must naturalize the substantive norms embedded in the Guiding Principles into the cultures of business activity shared by all stakeholders. This article, then, elaborates our initial framework for a three-phase approach for the Democratizing Human Rights/Catalyzing Strategic Litigation (DHR/CSL) initiative, which begins with knowledge production centered on focused toolkits, followed by the education/knowledge transmission phase that involves deployment of knowledge-product as toolkits through student centered training, education, and technical assistance; finally, the project will move towards the operationalization phase where large networks of stakeholders can both effectively and sustainably enforce business due diligence through the implementation of litigation/complaint strategies. The combination of knowledge creation, education/technical assistance and targeted litigation/complaint strategies may serve to overcome the problem of evolving the current development of business and human rights project from a bauble for the use of global elites and as an instrumental project to protect the privilege of states to a mechanics of asserting popular power through the mechanics of markets and the invocation of the international procedures which states themselves are bound to honor.

Sour Beer article in Edible Westside magazine
Just this March, a brand new Los Angeles food magazine sprung into existence called Edible Westside. The debut Spring 2012 issue was stellar, and I'm not *just* saying that because it contained an article I'd written on SoCal wheat beers! Everything about it was incredible, and I couldn't wait to be a part of the Summer 2012 issue. Well, fast forward to June and here she is in all her glory.
I was honored to be asked to write another article, this time focusing on spontaneous fermentation and sour beers. It gave me a chance to do some really in-depth research (not just drinking…) and I was able to interview a few pretty nice people, who also happen to be experts in the field, like Chris White, eponymous president of San Diego's White Labs and co-author of Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation. I also interviewed several esteemed brewmasters: Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing Co. (Santa Rosa, CA), Patrick Rue of The Bruery (Placentia, CA), Tomme Arthur of Port Brewing/The Lost Abbey (San Marcos, CA), and the undisputed king of spontaneous fermentation, Jean Van Roy from Brouwerij Cantillon (Brussels, Belgium)!
Behold… my sour beer article in Edible Westside magazine!
I also cooked up a recipe for Oysters with a Sour Beer Mignonette on the Edible Westside blog, since there was a really great article on Carlsbad Aquafarms oysters in the same issue. Not an oyster fan? Me either. Stir in some extra virgin olive oil and turn the mignonette into an awesome salad dressing!

Raelyn, the bartender at Yak and Yeti.
In the rare moments of silence that hang in the rooms of the big yellow mansion that houses Yak and Yeti (7803 Ralston Road, Arvada), I can almost hear Cora, the woman who allegedly hung around to haunt the place after falling down a flight of stairs, screaming up from the floor boards. I definitely wouldn't want to be here alone after dark. Continue reading Laura Shunk's review of Yak and Yeti. Photos by Mark Manger.

Sickle cell disease is a serious inherited disease in which the body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells. The sickled red blood cells are fragile and prone to rupture. When the number of red blood cells decreases from rupture (haemolysis), anaemia is the result. The sickled cells can also block blood vessels causing tissue and organ damage and pain.
In black American populations, sickle-cell trait has a frequency of 8%.
Symptoms usually don't occur until after age 4 months. Almost all patients with sickle-cell anemia have painful episodes (crises), which may last from hours to days. These crises can affect the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest. Some patients have one episode every few years. Others have many episodes per year.
Common symptoms include attacks of abdominal pain ,bone pain ,breathlessness ,delayed growth and puberty, fatigue, fever, paleness, rapid heart rate, ulcers on the lower legs (in adolescents and adults) and yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice).
Diagnosis is by laboratory investigations. The blood film shows sickle cells, target cells and features of hyposplenism. Hb electrophoresis demonstrates the absence of HbA, 2 – 20% HbF and the predominance of HbS.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease. People who have the disease, inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene-one from each parent. Homozygotes only produce abnormal beta chains that make haemoglobin S (Hbs, termed SS), and this results in the clinical syndrome of sickle – cell disease. Heterozygotes produce a mixture of normal and abnormal beta chains that make normal HbA and Hbs (termed AS), and this results in the clinically asymptomatic sickle -cell trait.
When haemoglobin S is deoxygenated it distorts the red cell membrane and produces characteristic sickle- shaped cells. The sickled red blood cells tend to stick together and block the blood vessels producing tissue and organ damage. Also, these blood cells are more fragile than usual and are easily broken down producing anaemia.
Since it is an inherited disease it cannot be prevented. People who are at high risk for sickle cell anemia and are planning to have children, may consider genetic counseling. A counsellor may help to understand the risk of having a child who has the disease and help explain the choices that are available.
Sickling of red blood cells can be prevented by getting enough fluids, getting enough oxygen, quickly treating infections, getting enough nutrition and activity and receiving proper vaccinations and antibiotics to prevent infections.
Sickling is precipitated by hypoxia, acidosis, dehydration and infection. This results in a number of acute syndromes, termed crises' and chronic organ damage.
Vaso-occlusive crisis. Plugging of small vessels in the bone produces acute severe bone pain with tachycardia, sweating and a fever. Sickle chest syndrome is most common cause of death in adult sickle disease. Sequestration crisis. Thrombosis of the venous outflow from an organ causes loss of function and acute painful enlargement. Aplastic crisis: Infection of adult sicklers with human erythrovirus 19 results in a severe but self-limiting red cell aplasia. This produces very low haemoglobin which may cause heart failure.
All patients with sickle – cell disease should receive prophylaxis with daily supplements of folic acid, and penicillin V to protect against pneumococcal infection which may be lethal in the presence of hyposplenism. These patients should be vaccinated against Pneumococcus and, where vaccine is available, haemophilus influenzae B and hepatitis B. Vaso-occlusive crises are managed by aggressive rehydration, oxygen therapy, adequate analgesia (which often requires opiates) and antibiotics. Allogeneic stem- cell transplants from HLA – matched siblings appears to be potentially curative.

The TBR and UT system have come together to develop the Tennessee Transfer Pathway Guarantee.
If followed exactly as it is laid out, the pathway guarantees admission, as a junior, to all public universities in the state, provided participants also meet the specific program requirements.
Cleveland State also has many transfer arrangements with private universities throughout the state in specific programs.
"Students have a real advantage by following a Tennessee Transfer Pathway program of study," stated Dr. Denise King, vice president for Academic Affairs.
"By completing the specified program requirements laid out for the first two years of study at the community college, graduating students transfer with junior status. This puts them right into upper level studies at their baccalaureate institution. No guessing if something will transfer, no negotiation for credit. It's simple, and it works."
For a complete list of Cleveland State's pathway programs or for more information, contact the Cleveland State ACCESS Center at 423-478-6217 or visit them in the George L. Mathis Student Center, Suite 118.

David Cameron and Mark Prisk to resign
Welfare reforms will cut the amount of benefit that people can get if they are deemed to have a spare bedroom in their council or housing association home. This measure will apply from April 2013 to tenants of working age. The power to do this is contained in the Welfare Reform Act 2012 and is commonly referred to as the bedroom tax, size criteria or under-occupation penalty. Poor people and families will get hit by this bedroom tax and I'm asking for David Cameron and Mark Prisk to resign. I'm also calling for a general election.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, | 1 In the last days the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. |
2 and many nations shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. | 2 Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. |
3 He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more; | 3 He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. |
4 but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken. | 4 Every man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the LORD Almighty has spoken. |
5 For all the peoples walk each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. | 5 All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. |
6 In that day, says the LORD, I will assemble the lame and gather those who have been driven away, and those whom I have afflicted; | 6 "In that day," declares the LORD, "I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. |
7 and the lame I will make the remnant; and those who were cast off, a strong nation; and the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth and for evermore. | 7 I will make the lame a remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. |
8 And you, O tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. | 8 As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem." |
9 Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in travail? | 9 Why do you now cry aloud-- have you no king? Has your counselor perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor? |
10 Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you shall go forth from the city and dwell in the open country; you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be rescued, there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies. | 10 Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies. |
11 Now many nations are assembled against you, saying, "Let her be profaned, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion." | 11 But now many nations are gathered against you. They say, "Let her be defiled, let our eyes gloat over Zion!" |
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor. | 12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD; they do not understand his plan, he who gathers them like sheaves to the threshing floor. |
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples, and shall devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth. | 13 "Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron; I will give you hoofs of bronze and you will break to pieces many nations." You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth. |

Jordan's copy of Off! was intercepted in the mailroom; at a disciplinary hearing, he was found guilty of "unauthorized contact with the public." The bureau's ban on inmates publishing under a byline has existed for decades but has rarely been used; lately, though, it's been getting a workout at ADX. Unabomber Kaczynski has also written for Off! and was recently investigated for another article published in a radical environmental newsletter, Green Anarchy.
Perhaps the most famous use of the no-byline rule was an attempt in the late 1980s to silence Danny "Red Hog" Martin, a federal inmate who wrote regular dispatches about prison life for the San Francisco Chronicle. Sussman, who was Martin's editor at the Chronicle and later co-authored a book with him called Committing Journalism, says the byline rule was used as a pretext for punishing Martin when his essays hit a nerve with prison administrators. The case turned into a long-running court battle between the newspaper and the bureau that was never fully resolved; the government managed to get the case dismissed as moot after Martin was paroled.
"We were the first case in the fifteen years the regulation had been in existence," Sussman recalls. "The theoretical reason for the rule is that [publishing] gives inmates standing among their fellow inmates; it makes them 'big wheels.' But they knew all along that Danny was publishing under a byline. What happened was they put him in the hole, then they went looking for something to hold him on."
Sussman and Martin got around the byline ban by arranging to publish Martin's work anonymously ("By a Federal Prisoner"). Jordan tried a similar strategy, submitting a second article to Off! under a pseudonym. But ADX officials cited him again for violating the no-byline rule, stating that even a pseudonym wasn't permissible. In fact, one officer decided that the mere act of sending out the manuscript "constitutes an unauthorized contact with the public," regardless of whether it's published.
"He can send a letter to anybody," says ADX's Montgomery. "There's a difference between a letter and something written as an article for publication purposes. As long as it's a letter, they can write to anybody."
But the distinction may not be as clear-cut as Montgomery suggests. According to Bureau of Prisons spokesman Daniel Dunne, federal prisoners are still allowed to write letters to the editor, which are clearly intended for publication. What if an editor transforms that letter into a bylined article? If a family member receives a letter from a prisoner and turns it over to a reporter who prints its contents, can the prisoner get in trouble for that?
"Yes, because they're trying to circumvent the policy," Montgomery replies. "I would imagine it would be investigated."
Jordan has filed a series of actions in Denver's federal courts challenging his long "holdover" at ADX and the ongoing interference with his mail and his writings. He claims that the no-byline rule is overly broad and vague and tramples on his First Amendment rights. He argues that he has no control over whether a recipient views his work as a "letter" or an "article" or how it might be presented in a publication, yet he's punished for the result. And he says the possible consequences of being published -- which could include loss of "good time" that would otherwise shorten his sentence and restrictions on his mail, property, phone and visitor privileges -- have made him think twice every time he puts pen to paper.
"When I write the media...I am forced to weigh my interest in getting the information out there against the punitive consequences which are sure to follow," he writes. "Even when I write personal letters, I refrain from writing about certain things I would otherwise for fear of less official retaliatory punishment."
Sussman points out that several state prison systems have banned face-to-face interviews with prisoners, contending that prisoners have other means, such as writing letters, to communicate with the public. ADX's increased muzzling of its prisoners contradicts that assumption.
"They say prisoners have other ways to get their views out without being interviewed, but if you can't send mail to the news media, that's an issue in itself," Sussman says. "If you can't do that, there's no way to learn of abuses in the prison system."
Certainly, the blanket ban on articles about "inmates and their causes" could prevent ADX prisoners from reading about abuses in their own prison. Mark Jordan's expected release date is sixteen years away, and it may be that long before he's allowed to read this article.

For immediate release -- Friday, September 28, 2001. Contact: Eric Tabor 515-281-5166
DES MOINES-- Attorney General Tom Miller has named John Perkins, 58, of Des Moines to serve as head of the Office of Consumer Advocate, an office of state government that represents the interests of consumers and the public in matters before the Iowa Utilities Board.
"I am happy that John is returning to public service," Miller said. "He is an exceptional lawyer and a person of extraordinary judgement. This post is crucial in so many ways for Iowa. For instance, the issues of energy cost and supply are strongly tied to our citizens well being and our economic growth."
The Consumer Advocate is head of the Office of Consumer Advocate, a division of the Iowa Department of Justice which is headed by the Attorney General. The office investigates the legality of rates and other matters under the jurisdiction of the Iowa Utilities Board and is located with the Utilities Division of the Department of Commerce.
Perkins most recently was with the Des Moines law firm of Pingel & Templer. He served as a Deputy Attorney General from 1985 to 1993 and as an Assistant Attorney General from 1972 to 1985. He received his law degree from the University of Iowa in1968.
Gary Stewart, who had been the Advocate since 1999, and who had a long career in the office prior to that, returned in July to be a staff attorney in the Office of Consumer Advocate. Deputy Attorney General Tam Ormiston has served as Acting Consumer Advocate during the interim.
The Consumer Advocate position requires approval by the Iowa Senate early next year. If approved, Perkins will fill the remainder of the four-year term ending in 2003.

Translate this page Governor signs lawmaker's bill to ensure proper burial of military veteransFriday, September 28th, 2012 Issue 39, Volume 16.
"I'm thrilled the governor signed this important bill," said Assemblyman Paul Cook, R-Beaumont. "Veterans who have served their country deserve better than to be forgotten at the county morgue after they pass on. We have groups that are willing and able to give them a proper burial, but we need to make sure they're able to locate our fallen heroes." Cook's Assembly Bill 1806 received unanimous support in the Assembly and Senate last month. Under the legislation, any U.S. military veteran or that veteran's immediate dependent whose remains are not claimed but Advertisement The California Department of Veterans Affairs, working with county public administrators and federal agencies, will maintain a statewide database of veterans and veterans' dependents' unclaimed remains, according to the legislation. If the remains are not claimed by relatives in a year, they can be released to state-recognized veterans' groups, such as the Redding, Calif.- based Missing in America Project, for burial. "When veterans end up at county morgues and go unclaimed, they are often buried without ceremony or any of the recognition that normally goes along with service in the military," Cook said in an earlier statement.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jake, a Plainfield Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle for sale in Plainfield, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle dog from a breeder in Plainfield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Plainfield already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Plainfield breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Plainfield paves the way for another one to be saved.

Green has arrived even in Norway and the migrating birds have started their annual cycle of reproduction. This Little Plover is not a very common breeding bird in Norway, and it finds its place in the strangest places. The most common breeding habitats of this little wading bird are actually construction sites and abandoned real estate land. By laying flat on my stomach and using the green grass in the foreground as a softening filter I turned this construction site into a lush, pleasing frame for the bird in focus.

Some updates in puke-on-the-page style, because I just took NyQuil and am falling asleep…
1) A couple of weeks ago I left The Italian a voicemail saying I was checking in to see how he was feeling (he had a cold). This morning I told him I was staying home because I wasn't feeling well. He phoned tonight after work to ask how I was feeling and wish me sweet dreams. I was in awe by the sweetness of this because it was thoughtful and because we don't usually talk on the phone. I'm glad to know I set a precedent of sorts. I'm also reminded of all the sweet things Y did for me… before he cheated on me… and then the scepticism creeps in and I'm just confused. I guess it'll be a while before that goes away.
2) I'm trying to be open to The Italian as more than a rebound boyfriend. He's acting as though he legitimately likes me, and I don't want to miss an opportunity because my head is somewhere else. Besides, he made some crack the other day about me not noticing him even when he was sitting right beside me. Oops. That said, I'm still taking it slow… really, I have no choice. I'm just not in a position to jump right in with my heart.
3) I should have the keys to my new place by the end of this weekend. I'm so excited, I can't wait to have my own space again. I've been decorating it on Pinterest all day.
4) I tried to shave my 100 pound dog today, so she wouldn't shed so much in my new place. She looks horrid. Poor thing.
5) Therapy is going pretty well. She's given me some good tips for handling my anxiety. To be honest, it's just nice to be able to talk to someone who knows how to ask the right questions.
6) The meds are keeping me level and keeping the anxiety at bay as well. If only I could remember to take them every day. I've been bad about that this week.
7) Y's best friends fiancé has been inviting me over for coffee then rescheduling last minute. She's not very organized, but she desperately wants to be my friend and she hates Y. She told me she wants me to attend their wedding. Yeah… awkward much?
8) Speaking of Y… people keep asking me if he went back to Turkey. Honestly, I don't know. I think he's still here, but I've done my best to block all thoughts of him out of my mind completely (survival tactic). I really don't want to talk about him yet. I still just can't go there. It will probably be years before I can think back on it and not be hurt. I know there's a lesson in there somewhere, but it will be longer, if ever, before I figure out what it is.
9) I deactivated my Facebook before I went on my vacation to Florida, and aside from a couple of times I logged in quickly to search for an address, photo etc., it's still deactivated. I don't really miss it like I thought I would. I needed to disconnect. I've been living my life more.
10) I've been busy as all hell… and on purpose. I have been making a point of getting out with friends as much as possible, spending time with The Italian once or twice a week, and making efforts to progress my life and just be happy.
11) I had the most amazing vacation. Visiting my family (who I'd mostly never met) was awesome! They were so much fun, and I saw some amazing places (Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota was by far the most gorgeous place I've ever seen). To be honest, it was nice to spend a few days with people who didn't know anything about my recent breakup. No one asked questions, I didn't have to explain anything, and I just got a break from it! The last half of my trip was phenomenal too! I got to catch up with a friend from high school who I've really been missing. We had such a nice time re-connecting and just hanging out. I loved every minute of it!! It was so nice to see the life she's built for herself and to get to be a part of it for a few days. My vacation was exactly the break I'd been hoping for.
12) Two weeks from today I board a plane for Chicago, where I get to meet some of my best friends for the first time. Me and four of my best blogger girlfriends in the same room… finally. It seems surreal. We have a lot of fun stuff planned for the weekend, but honestly I would be happy to sit on the floor beside them, painting our toenails and having girl chat all weekend. I can't wait. And no, I'm not nervous in the least. What's there to be nervous about? They're my best friends. :)
13) I've passed the point of no return with the NyQuil.

Ah yes, spring is in the air and what a relief it is. It has been a brutal winter for many across the country. For most of us, the beginning of spring brings happy thoughts of warm weather, flowers, bike rides and picnics at the park. Sadly if you are someone who suffers from allergies the first signs of spring can remind you of sneezing, coughing, and itchy, watery eyes that you go through every spring.
If you suffer from an eye allergy, also called allergic conjunctivitis, springtime can make your life miserable. Eye allergies is a reaction to indoor and outdoor allergens which include dust mites, pet dander, mold, grass and pollen that get in the eyes and cause inflammation of the tissue that lines the eyelid. Once inflamed, the eye can be very painful for extended periods of time.
Eye allergies can affect anyone but it is particularly hard on contact lens wearers. Today people use extended wear contacts that require less frequent cleaning and replacement. Not only can the allergens inflame the eyelid they get under the contacts making matters even worse.
To effectively treat and relieve the symptoms caused by eye allergies, you really need to see your optometrist. They usually will prescribe soothing medicated eye drops or rinses to remove the allergens. Many who try the DIY route will treat their symptoms with an over-the-counter antihistamine. The problem is antihistamines can help with the running noses and sneezing but they can make eye allergy symptoms worse by reducing the moisture in the eyes.
If you have problems with allergies and your eyes then try some of these tips. If you visit your doctor we bet they will suggest several them because they work.
We know first hand that you can not completely avoid eye problems during the spring but you can do some or all of the things we mentioned above to make this spring a bit better.
Wishing you the best of health

This article is from the WebMD News Archive
Nov. 14, 2011 -- Brainy kids -- especially girls -- may be more likely to experiment with marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drugs when they grow up, according to a new report.
In the study of close to 8,000 people, those who had high IQs when they were aged 5 and 10 were more likely to use certain illicit drugs at age 16 and at age 30.
The findings appear online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
Exactly why having a high IQ at age 5 or 10 may encourage future drug use is not fully understood. But researchers have a theory. "People with a high IQ have also been found to be more open to new experiences," says study researcher James White, PhD, in an email.
White is a research associate at the Center for Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions for Public Health Improvement at Cardiff University, Wales.
The research has been mixed on how a high childhood IQ affects behavior in adulthood, White says.
"Previous studies have found high childhood IQ is associated with mostly healthy behaviors in adult life, such as having a healthy diet, being physically active, and not smoking," he says. "However, other studies have found high childhood IQ is linked to excess alcohol intake and alcohol dependency in adult life."
