Bald and beautiful: Beauty queen suffering from alopecia could be first Miss America with no hair
There's no denying looks take top billing at beauty pageants.
But Miss Delaware Kayla Martell is set to challenge stereotypes at the Miss America final on Saturday - as the first bald contestant.
Despite being told by organisers she doesn't have to don a wig for the Las Vegas event, Kayla, who suffers from alopecia areata, has opted to wear one 'to appear more approachable.'
Inspiration: Kayla Martell, pictured wearing a wig (right) suffers from alopecia areata and will be the first bald contestant to compete in Miss America on Friday
The beauty queen competed for the Miss Delaware title without her wig three times before she was told she might be more successful sporting fake locks before going on to win her fourth attempt.
However, in her everyday life, Kayla prefers the natural look.
She told abc News: 'Miss America, she needs to be relatable to all people, but she also must be approachable.
Determined: The beauty queen, representing Delaware, will wear a wig for the event despite preferring the natural look in her everyday life
Oftentimes when people see me, at first glance, they assume that I'm either very, very sick or that I'm going through chemotherapy.
'The wig gives me an opportunity to meet them and have that initial moment where they're not worried about me. Then I get to bring up my alopecia areata on my own terms.
'People are so surprised to see a bald woman, let alone a bald beauty pageant contestant.'
I dreamed a dream: Pictured in Las Vegas without and, below, with her wig, 22-year-old Kayla has dreamed of being crowned Miss America since the age of three, but started losing her hair seven years later
Journey: Kayla, pictured with her dog in Wyoming, was diagnosed with alopecia when she was ten years old
'When I go grocery shopping, when I'm out with my friends, when I'm at home, I'm without the wig. That's me. That's the real me.'
Fellow sufferer: Gail Porter, pictured at a swimathon to raise money for cancer, has alopecia but her hair has now started to grow back
The 22-year-old has dreamed of being crowned Miss America since the age of three, but began losing her hair seven years later when she noticed that her parting was widening and was diagnosed when the bald patch continued to grow.
Despite being different to the other contestants, Kayla insists she doesn't feel nervous and is proud to forgo the wig in public.
She will be championing the cause for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation.
She told CBS news: 'The biggest thing is just to find other people out there who have alopecia.
'If you find someone who can be supportive of you and you can learn from, that's the greatest thing, to build relationships.'
Alopecia areata is a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body, usually from the scalp.
It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own hair follicles and suppresses or stops hair growth.
Scottish TV presenter Gail Porter suffers from the condition since 2005 and also refused to wear a wig to raise awareness for the condition.
Alopecia affects approximately 1.7% of the UK population and both men and women are equally affected.

Minister reassures Christians over rights
Guarantees made despite political uncertainty
September 20, 2012
Senior politicians yesterday reassured Nepalese Christians that the state will guarantee secularism, amid political uncertainty which has seen extended delays to a new constitution. Minister for Peace and Reconstruction Top Bahadur Rayamajhi told a meeting in Kathmandu that the government would abide by an agreement signed with the Christian Federation in May, safeguarding secularism in the predominantly Hindu country. "Among the things we have achieved after our long struggle for democracy is secularism. There is no chance of backtracking on that now," he said at the event, which included about 1,000 Christians at one of Nepal's oldest ecclesiastical buildings, Putalisadak Church. Rayamajhi, who has helped form a national Muslim commission since becoming a minister, is considered sympathetic to ethnic and religious minorities as a member of an interim government which has been weakened by the recent political upheavals. Elections have been delayed and the constituent assembly disbanded after lawmakers were unable to agree on a new constitution. "Your visit to this holy place has turned our pain and anxiety into hope and faith," Vice-President of the Christian Federation Pastor Isu Jung Karki told the meeting, which included former parliamentarians. The latest edition of the monthly Christian Federation magazine Mahan Aviyan reported that the Maoist-dominated government continues to discriminate against Christians by donating millions of rupees every year to Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim places of worship, but not to churches.

Catholic leaders honor former Pope in Houston
The impending conclave were on the minds of Catholic leaders who gathered at Houston's Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
John: Well, when telling the truth is no longer acceptable, you know you're living in a tyranny or an asylum...maybe both. The fact that we have someone who's both careless and corrupt leading in the presidential polls pretty much tells you all you need to know both about the electorate and the system which has propelled her to the top. Even the late Empire Romans would have laughed at our folly and pretense that this nation somehow has anything close to a functioning and competent system of government.

Hi, I am a concerned mother of a 7 year old child that had stage 2 lyme when he was 4 and has vitiligo that is progressively getting worse to date. I have spoken to pediatricians and dermatologists about the correlation between the sudden increase of vitiligo occurring after the lyme, but no medical practitioner has agreed that they could indeed be related. So yes, I feel alone and I hope joining this support group could help lead me to other practitioners who will listen to a mother's instinct and reason and I can get some answers and hopefully put an end to my son's vitiligo and any other underlying Lyme related residual ailments, which could potentially manifest in the future. Thank you! Nicole

"As the fall semester begins at colleges and universities, liquor enforcement officers from the (state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement) will be working with both local and state police in an effort to target underage drinking in and around campuses within our jurisdiction," Sgt. Gary Severns of the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement said in a news release.
Class began for the University of Scranton, Marywood University and Lackawanna College on Aug. 26.
Scranton police acting Capt. Glenn Thomas said that officers regularly patrol the city looking for signs of drinking in both marked and unmarked cars. When patrolling in the area of the University of Scranton, the school's own police force assists.
The penalty for underage drinking is a fine of up to $500 for the first offense and up to a $1,000 fine for the second and subsequent offenses, Trooper Connie Devens said. Driving privileges are also suspended when cited for underage drinking.
However, both state and local police emphasized that it is a problem that needs to be addressed year-round.
"Our troopers are always on the lookout for underage drinkers to send the message that we won't tolerate it," Trooper Adam Reed said in an email. "We work closely with other law enforcement agencies, school districts, colleges and universities to prevent underage drinking and enforce the laws associated with it."

Cottonwood Heights Family Earns Black Belts
A local family in Cottonwood Heights, Utah all earned their black belts together this last December.
"Having a complete family start and finish together with a black belt is something that is extremely rare and very unlikely," Albrecht said. "Needless to say, I am very proud of my boys."
Albrecht said he and his boys found Personal Mastery Martial Arts Studio down the street from their home and decided to begin their venture together. Practicing Taekwondo multiple times a week and achieving promotions every two months brought Albrecht and his sons together on equal footing, as they learned a skill together and many life lessons as a result.
"Taekwondo has helped me structure our lives, and give my boys focus and self-control, even in the worst moments," Albrecht said. "I am mighty proud of their accomplishments, their perseverance and the character they have shown throughout."
Gabriel and Michael-Angelo, both Butler Elementary students, have helped their dad learn the Korean words associated with Taekwondo, and they work together to perfect their techniques in and out of the dojo.
In addition to Taekwondo, the Albrecht boys take weekly piano and drum lessons. They also enjoy skiing and golfing, among other activities, helping them have a "good and fulfilled life," according to their father.
Albrecht, who is a German immigrant, credits Taekwondo with helping him raise his boys. "I have lived my life, I have done many things others don't get to do," he said. "I cannot imagine anything more fulfilling than focusing completely on my family and grooming a new generation."
Now father and sons are preparing for the 2nd degree black belt test in 2 years, and all are planning to compete at the 6th Annual U.S. Open Taekwondo Hanmadang in Colorado Springs June 20-21.

Love this jacket! I get tons of compliments on the shiny gray color and how soft it is! I'm 5'4 135 lbs and the Medium is long enough to cover my hips and just big enough to wear layers underneath. It's very warm. I have an original Osito also and this one is definitely a little longer and more fitting/flattering in the waist. I bought a second one for my daughter who is 12 (size small) and she loves it! We wear them everyday!

I got this jacket for my wife & she loves it. The North Face jackets are expensive but being comfortable & warm is worth it. We have bought our daughter 2 Osito jackets and she also loves them.

Bought for my 90 year old mother who is in assisted living in northern Ontario, Canada. She gets chilled easily so thought this would keep her warm. She absolutely loves it! It's liked being hugged by a really soft teddy bear and the color is gorgeous on her. Highly recommend.
- Lorraine M - customer

- November 29, 2014
I really like this jacket; it is warmer than expected. I get lots of compliments. However, buyer beware. I would wash this four times before wearing it and always air or line dry. If you do not wash it multiple times before wearing it, you will get gray fuzzies on every single thing you come near. I am still finding them and I've had this jacket for at least a month. This is no exaggeration.

ULITZER AUTHOR SINCE:December 7, 2008
Today data has replaced money as the global currency for trade.
"McKinsey estimates that about 75 percent of the value added by data flows
on the Internet accrues to "traditional" industries, especially via
increases in global growth, productivity, and employment. Furthermore, the
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates that
about 50 percent of all traded services are enabled by the technology sector,
including by cross-border data flows."
As the global economy has become fully dependent on the transformative nature
of electronic data exchange, its participants have also become more
protective of data's inherent value. The rise of this data protectionism is
now so acute that it threatens to restrict the flow of data across national
borders. Data-residency requirements, widely used to buffer domestic
technology providers from internation... (more)

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Treasury Secretary Melba Acosta Febo and Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB) Chairman David H. Chafey commented on Fitch Ratings' decision regarding outstanding bonds of the Commonwealth and related entities.
"We are disappointed with Fitch's decision, though we are pleased that it has recognized Puerto Rico's quick and decisive response to challenges that have arisen in recent years, our significant progress in addressing longstanding fiscal and economic issues, and the uniquely strong pledge our Constitution provides for our general obligation credit."
The GDB, Treasury and OMB will hold a joint webcast on February 18, 2014 at 2PM EST to discuss the Commonwealth's fiscal and economic plans and progress, and to update investors on its financing plans.

FDA releases new cigarette warnings
And we have some winners! The FDA on Tuesday unveiled its nine choices for imagery that will go on packs of cigarettes by next year.
The best of the lot -- or the grisliest, anyway -- in the government's competition turned out to be:
- Guy with tracheotomy.
- Mother swirling an impossibly large cloud of smoke around her innocent baby.
- Rotting teeth.
- Dead guy with stitched-up chest.
- Healthy pink lungs, then smoke-charred ones.
- Anguished woman, and then some text about second-hand smoke.
- Premature baby in an incubator.
- Bald guy with an "I quit" T-shirt. A rare hopeful message.
- Fat guy with oxygen mask, apparently after having a stroke or heart attack.
Click on the image to see all nine images and accompanying warning labels.
And visit this post from last fall to see the artwork that didn't make the cut. I think the FDA went soft, apparently. There's not one image among the finalists of a body with toe tag, or a sickly woman in the hospital.
The new artwork -- part of the biggest change to cigarette packaging since warning labels were first mandated in 1965 -- will take up the top half of a cigarette pack, front and back. And each image will include the 1-800-QUIT-NOW help line. The graphic images also must appear in cigarette advertising and take up 20 percent of ads.
Manufacturers have until the fall of 2012 to comply.
The question is, will they have an effect? The adult smoking rate in the United States plummeted from about 40 percent in 1970 to 20 percent by 2004, but it has leveled off since then. California consistently has one of the lowest rates in the country, about 13 percent. But rates remain alarmingly high in many parts of the country, especially the South. Maybe the rates can only go so low.
Do you think the new images and warning labels will have an impact?
