Kansas City police are trying to sort out a bizarre mystery -- a set of eyes were found in a container at a Northland gas station.
Police said the eyeballs were not human; they likely were from a pig. And they added that no crime was committed.
Police said they were called to a Conoco service station at Northwest 112th Street and North Ambassador Drive late Wednesday by a worker who found a package on top of the trash bin.
Police said the package was a cardboard box with wrapping stating, "keep refrigerated." Inside was a medical cooler and inside it was a sealed package containing eyes.
Investigators said there is an eye bank located on North Ambassador Drive. Police said they contacted that eye bank, along with several others in the area, including regional hospitals without success.
Surveillance video showed that two men in a blue Toyota with Nebraska plates left the container.
Police said the eyes were take to the Jackson County Medical Examiner's office to be placed in their cooler for temporary safe keeping. Investigators said no crime was committed.

When Wee Pals was first created, bringing black characters to the comics' pages was by no means an easy task. In 1965, only five major newspapers published the strip. It was not until 1968 -- and the tragic assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. -- that Wee Pals achieved nationwide acceptance. Within three months of King's death, the strip was appearing in over 100 newspapers nationwide.

Optometrist Bert Moritz, D.O., of the Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wis., explains that six extraocular muscles firmly hold the eye in the socket, making it almost impossible for eyeball subluxing (what a relief!). And though it may feel as if pressure builds in your entire face before you sneeze, it doesn't increase in your eyes. So why then do we clamp our eyes shut when we sneeze?
"This is an involuntary reflex," explains Moritz. "When our brain sends this muscle message, one part of the message is to close our eyes. It's similar to a deep tendon reflex."

There are some things you just shouldn't mess with, like a hungry, not-so-little fish lurking in the water.
Florida man, Ryan Reynolds, thought it was fun to dangle his arm like a fish bait above the water until an enormous tarpon grabbed it.
Reynolds tried to free himself as the fish's jaws clamped down on his right arm, trying to pull him into the water. The stubborn fish wasn't ready to give up and even kept its grip while wriggling on the jetty.
"Baby, get him!" a woman, recording the fiasco, screamed.
Eventually, the fish released the angler's arm and flopped back into the water.
Reynolds' epic tarpon battle has already reached more than 1.2 million views since it was uploaded on YouTube.

Awards season is already heating up, and without question one film that is sure to gather some attention is "Arbitrage" -- first-time director Nicholas Jarecki's searing dramatic thriller that all-too closely mirrors current events in the financial world.
Richard Gere stars in the film as Robert Miller, a calm and collected hedge fund magnate who under the surface is suffering a do-or-die financial crisis. Exacerbating the situation is a tragic accident involving Miller and his mistress -- the exact sort of publicity that would derail a deal sure to save his financial empire and legacy -- or totally derail him and the people who depend on him.
And the clock is ticking fast before all hell breaks loose.
Now playing in theaters and Video-On-Demand, "Arbitrage" also stars Susan Sarandon as Miller's privileged wife and Brit Marling ("Another Earth") as his daughter and business partner -- both of whom who are completely oblivious to the charismatic patriarch's dirty financial dealings.
When "Arbitrage" was released in mid-September, several journalists described Miller in "Arbitrage" as "Bernie Madoff-like," but Jarecki said when you boil Gere's character down, that's hardly the case. If anything, the financial crash in 2008 sparked the idea, but that's where the similarities end..
"I started writing the script in 2009 after the Madoff case came about," Jarecki recalled for me in a recent interview. "I was reading a lot of great articles about it in Vanity Fair magazine about the financial crisis, and its editor, Graydon Carter (who plays a pivotal character in the film) also did this great series on Madoff. He wrote about what the sons knew, what the secretaries knew, et cetera."
And what Jarecki realized quickly, was that he didn't want to make a Madoff-themed film.
"I read pretty early on that Madoff said from jail, 'F--- my victims,' so I knew right away that that character wouldn't sustain a feature film. I thought, 'He's a crazy, sick sociopath and I'll be bored with that character after five minutes. I don't have too much to learn'" Jarecki said. "So I started thinking, 'This character I want to do, Robert Miller, has to be more in the tradition of Greek tragedies. He has to be more of a good man, a larger-than-life king, a good figure, who has become corrupt over time. He's become a little too drunk with his own power and has forgotten how important luck is, and that he was real special.' So he gets carried away and starts to take liberties."
That concept is where the title "Arbitrage" came from, Jarecki added.
"It basically means to buy low, sell high and make a profit by exploiting special knowledge," explained Jarecki, a New York native. "So where I saw that relevant here was that he was emotionally exploiting the people in his life because he knew best and really 'The Man.' But how much of our lives do we really control? I think a lot of what happens to us is luck."
The key to the success of a plot like this, Jarecki observed, is whether audiences can relate or not. After all, most people in their lives -- combined -- will not see the sort of cash Miller has accrued in "Arbitrage."
"I wanted Miller to be more human -- more about something that everybody could relate to, because you don't have to be rich or poor to get carried away and have pride and hubris," Jarecki said. "Those are very human feelings."
That's not to say the financial moguls that Jarecki keys in on in "Arbitrage" weren't affected by what they saw in the film. True, the film isn't Madoff-esque per se, but that's not to say everybody else on Wall Street is squeaky clean.
"One of my proudest moments was a few weeks ago right before we opened, at a screening in the East Hamptons in New York. It's one of the wealthiest places on the planet," Jarecki recalled. "In the theater there were several hedge fund managers there, several who had inspired the film. The collective personal net worth of the people watching the film was maybe $20 billion.'"
Jarecki said he knew he had these power players in his pocket, metaphorically, of course, when he got their reactions.
"After the film these guys came up to me and said, 'We really like the film, but it really made us uneasy from beginning to end. What you've done is sort of captured our personal nightmare. This is what we all worry about,'" Jarecki recalled. "That was really fulfilling. I was thinking, 'If the real guys are saying it bothers them, then we've really captured something. We've really captured reality.'"
While the first and foremost thing Jarecki wants to do with "Arbitrage" is entertain his audiences, he won't have any problem if beyond the film it inspires people to learn more -- because what's out there to learn is pretty sobering.
"I hope people get more educated about the money system and how they're getting ripped off in every little way by credit card companies that charge usurious fees, and others that rip them off with bank card fees," Jarecki said. "For me, I believe there's a special place in hell reserved for people who overcharge the poor."

Alpine Town
St. Moritz is one of the world's most famous holiday resorts. Chic, elegant and exclusive with a cosmopolitan ambiance. It is situated at 1,856 metres above sea level in the middle of the Upper Engadine lake landscape. The dry, sparkling "champagne climate" is legendary and the celebrated St. Moritz sun shines for an average of 322 days a year.
Three different cultural regions converge in St. Moritz thanks to the Romansch language, the proximity to Italy and the fact that the majority of the local population are German speaking. The resort owes its original fame to its therapeutic springs, which have been known for over 3,000 years. As well as its superb location above and on the lake shore, St. Moritz offers an attractive mixture of nature, culture, sports, activity and tranquility.
St. Moritz was the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism (1864) and winter sports (1884), the venue for two Winter Olympic Games (1928 and 1948) as well as for numerous skiing and bob World Championships. The summer season is perhaps a little less glamorous but actually attracts more international visitors than winter. St. Moritz offers an all-year-round guarantee of exceptional leisure and sporting attractions, cultural highlights, chic shopping and world-class events. It also has top-class hotels and excellent restaurants.
The St. Moritz sun shines more intensely, the "champagne climate" is dryer and snow is more certain than anywhere else. These elements, combined with the Upper Engadin lake landscape and valley culture create an array of attractions that is unique in terms of quality and diversity. In winter: downhill and Nordic skiing, Cresta Run, Olympic bob run, horse racing on the frozen lake, polo, cricket, golf and curling tournaments, Olympic ski jump ramp, gourmet and music festivals. In summer: mountain biking, inline skating, hiking, windsurfing, ice skating, golf, tennis, sailing, opera, art and culture and the Swiss National Park – all within a radius of a few minutes.
The name "St. Moritz" is now so much in demand that it has been registered as an internationally protected trademark. As an international symbol of quality, the name "St. Moritz" epitomizes style, elegance and class.

For many football fans, it's traditional to do a shot, drink a beer or imbibe in some other vaguely ceremonial way when one's team scores.
This year, with two high-powered offenses going on the field, that kind of thing could lead to alcohol poisoning or, worse, becoming a Cowboys fan.
Unless you've recently joined a fraternity or are planning to watch the game in a bar along Bourbon Street, you probably don't want to drink vast quantities while watching the Super Bowl. So why not go for quality over quantity this year? Get the really good stuff, and make some really good drinks with it.

4 limes, cut in 8 pieces each ½ cup sugar 1 cup cachaca (Brazilian sugar cane rum) ¼ cup pomegranate liqueur
In a heavy glass container, combine the limes and the sugar. With a meddler or pestle, crush the limes with the sugar, extracting the juice. Add the cachaca and the pomegranate liquor and and shake.

Greenpeace NZ campaign director Chris Harris speaks with the store manager of the Quay St Foodtown where Greenpeace hangs a seven metre banner on the downtown Auckland Foodtown supermarket which reads 'Costing our Oceans? Alongside, the mascot for the Greenepace Save our Seas campaign, Sad Fish, hangs in a bottom trawl net. The message highlighted that supermarkets without sustainable seafood policies are supporting overfishing and destructive fishing practices. At street level, a model of a large piece of coral in a supermarket trolley illustrated the environmental cost of destructive fishing practices. A team of activists entered the Quay St store, accompanied by a second Sad Fish mascot, to talk with shoppers and ask the manager to implement a sustainable seafood policy and to remove orange roughy, which is caught by bottom trawling, from the shelves.

Lewis Black bringing comedy back to Summerfest
In addition to drum fills, guitar solos and the cheers of thousands, jokes and laughter have been a recurring part of the Summerfest soundtrack. Bob Hope was one of Summerfest's first big headliners, with two shows at County Stadium in 1969, and in the decades since then Billy Crystal, Jay Leno, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, Lewis Black and others have been booked to play a Summerfest stage or tent.
After 2007, the funny stuff appeared to be over at Summerfest. But Friday, comedy makes a comeback. Fest favorite Black is bringing along comedians John Bowman and Mike Wilmot as part of a special comedy day at the BMO Harris Pavilion. »Read Full Article(8)

Uber delivering ice cream on demand in Milwaukee until 5 p.m.
It only took five months for Uber to get me excited about its presence in Milwaukee. I signed up for the app when the service launched in Milwaukee in February, but I was always too skeptical or just never needed a lift from a pricey private driver.
But today, Uber gave me an offer I couldn't refuse: Pricey ice cream delivered to my doorstep. At 2 p.m. on a Friday, who can say no to a private ice cream truck rolling up to the workplace? »Read Full Blog Post
Schmidt's 'The Novel: A Biography' captures life, history, connections of literature
Michael Schmidt's massive new book, "The Novel: A Biography," covers nearly 700 years of prose and hundreds of writers. At 1,200 pages, it is much longer than "Moby-Dick" and nearly as long as "War and Peace." Although it's not necessarily the last word on any given novel, as a resource, reference and stimulator, it's a bargain and a worthy addition to your home library.
While Schmidt, born in Mexico, has long been a professor in the United Kingdom, his approach is not academic. He writes for common readers, to borrow Virginia Woolf's phrase, though he must know they'll have to do some work to keep up with him. »Read Full Article
Off the Wall Theatre's "Rope" dazzles with its darkness
In his program notes for the production of "Rope" that opened Thursday night at Off the Wall Theatre, director Dale Gutzman describes Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of Patrick Hamilton's play as "simplistic and childish."
I wouldn't go that far, but it's nevertheless true that Hitchcock's more conventional film flattened Hamilton's story about two wealthy and gay Oxford undergraduates who strangle a classmate for kicks. They then stuff the victim's body in a trunk — which becomes a food-laden table for a party whose guests include the victim's father (Lawrence J. Lukasavage) and aunt (Sandy Lewis). »Read Full Article
'My Family and Other Hazards' recounts growing up amid mini golf
Miniature golf may have been a vacation diversion for you and me, but for June Melby, the Tom Thumb Miniature Golf course outside Waupaca was the crucible where she was formed.
When Melby was 10, her schoolteacher parents bought the course to run as their summer source of income (though it first played the role of a money pit). That meant middle child June, older sister LeAnn and younger sister Carly were immediately impressed into service as deckhands on this voyage. »Read Full Article
Tiphanie Yanique's 'Land of Love and Drowning' evokes Gabriel Garcia Marquez

So says Anette, the most compelling of the characters populating "Land of Love and Drowning" by Virgin Islands native Tiphanie Yanique. A multigenerational novel set in Yanique's native land, "Love and Drowning" opens just before the U.S. arrives, after purchasing several of the islands from Denmark in 1917. It concludes in the 1970s. »Read Full Article
Grand Avenue Club, Center for Independence host annual galas
The broad smile on the face of Jerry Holmes says everything. He is happy, and the job he has at Biltrite Furniture is clearly built right for him. For the past five years, Holmes has worked part time as a custodian at the local furniture manufacturing firm where he empties trash, cleans the kitchen and sweeps floors. It is a job he says he likes a lot.
And the Komisar family that owns Biltrite clearly thinks a lot of him — enough to bring nearly 40 family members and employees to the Grand Avenue Club's annual dinner where Holmes was recognized along with his employer. He was at the dinner, held June 26 at the Pfister Hotel, with his sister and brother-in-law Louisa and Fared Madinah. »Read Full Article
Pizza Vino in Brookfield will expand its menu with sandwiches and pasta
The former owner of Christopher's on Astor in Milwaukee quietly opened an Italian restaurant in Brookfield in November called Pizza Vino, and now he's preparing to expand the menu.
Christopher Fortune said his Brookfield restaurant is geared toward families, serving pizzas, appetizers and salads. He makes items like the crust, sausage and sauce from scratch; for the Friday fish fry, he makes the coleslaw, tartar sauce and rye bread. The fish fry ($11.95 for cod, $14.95 for pan-fried lake perch and $11.95 for baked cod) includes a relish tray. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
'Listening to Mitchell' captures sounds, images of street
Historic Mitchell Street was called "a street of modern stores," a thoroughfare where "every crosstown car" (meaning street cars) seemed to converge, according to a 1931 Milwaukee Sentinel feature about the near south side district.
For a time, the street, surrounded by Polish flats, competed with Wisconsin Ave. for shopping at department stores like Goldmann's and Schuster's and was called the "Polish Grand Avenue." »Read Full Article(1)

'The Grand Seduction' is a familiarly quirky tale
Bill Forsyth lives, because, well, the 67-year-old Scottish filmmaker is still alive.
But — I wrote in a 2000 profile of Forsyth — people don't have to die for their presence to be missed. Forsyth, director of wry and subtle films like "Gregory's Girl" and "Local Hero," hasn't made a film since 1999. But the quirky humanity of those films lives on. »Read Full Article

First Dive at Nemo 33Bell&Ross invited a group of Belgium journalists for an unforgettable diving introduction at NEMO 33, the world's deepest diving pit, 33 meters.
This venue, with its surprising submarine construction, is in perfect keeping with the ultra-marine expertise acquired by Bell&Ross. Alongside with Marc Sluszny, extreme sports lover and fan of our brand, the journalists discovered or rediscovered the Marine BR02 collection; professional diving instruments. Wearing a watch on their wrist, each one of them noted that the BR02 is not just a reliable instrument ready for any professional diving mission, but an ally of every moment…

Jet Family PartyThe Jet Family Party was organized in Vnukovo-3 airport with the support of Bell & Ross and marked the opening of the 5th annual business aviation exhibition.
The Business aviation complex proved an ideal spot for holding such a large-scale event, taking place in Russia for the first time.
The guests of the event had a unique opportunity to discover the latest models of luxurious business jets: Embraer Lineage 1000, and others.
Spacious tents set up on the territory of the complex were adorned with an exhibition of Bell & Ross timepieces. It was the occasion for the brand to officially launch its collections in the Russian territory with its distributor Mercury.
It's no surprise Bell & Ross chose this particular event as a premiere as the brand has always been inspired by the world of aviation.
The event gathered a large number of Bell & Ross fans, who showed great interest in the brand's latest collections.
The evening take-off strip, illuminated jets, the light show on the stage and white tents - everything was covered in mystery with the beat of rock-music setting the tone of the party.
The performance by famous singer Yoav filled the party with a special atmosphere whereas the funky chords of the legendary Russian band "Bi-2" left nobody indifferent!
The guests didn't leave the party till late at night, enjoying a unique atmosphere of the evening...

It is important that foreigners find their way to Estonia and see the local life, but it is equally important to communicate with the outside world and to talk about Estonia. If we want to do it well and achieve our goals, we must agree on what and how to talk about. If we believe that we are a future facing young nation with fresh ideas and the knowledge how to say it out loud, then others will believe us too.

Art City Looks: Graeme Reid
In a week when the big news is the appointment of Laurie Winters as director at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, it seems like a good time to stop and consider what it means to be a Wisconsin artist.

Art critic Lori Waxman gives her reviews in public
Culture is more than an enveloping painting on a museum wall or the confounding installation at an upstart gallery. It exists in the way we look at, talk about and express ourselves about art.
The idea that the writing of art criticism qualifies as the making of culture certainly fits the professional practice of Lori Waxman, a regular freelance critic for the Chicago Tribune and a frequent writer for publications such as Artforum. »Read Full Article

Visit the new official Tim DeChristopher website:
We just launched a new official Tim DeChristopher website. Please visit and join this new site to connect with Tim, receive updates and support his climate justice work.
On April 22nd, 2013 Tim DeChristopher was released from Federal Prison after serving his 2 year sentence. A month before his release, Tim was accepted into Harvard Divinity School for Fall 2013.
Tim DeChristopher's 5 year struggle within the US Justice System has come to a close, but the battle for a livable future continues. Get involved. Act. Organize.
"Throughout my incarceration I have witnessed the direct personal impacts of a legal system obsessed
with technicalities rather than justice. The prisons I have been in are filled with nonviolent inmates suffering from mandatory minimums and other policies which are completely detached from the best interests of the individual or society. The injustice on display in my case is truly systemic, and we will put our continuing efforts toward creating a system of genuine justice for all."

10 best concerts of 2013 in Milwaukee
This really felt like the year in music where anything could happen.
10 favorite, best and worst moments in a year of music

- "Easy Eyes,"Fever Marlene
- "Hostage,"L&R
- "One of these Kids,"Dana Coppafeel & Speak Easy

10 best local albums of 2013
Last year was an accomplished one in terms of widespread exposure for Milwaukee bands, with Field Report, Trapper Schoepp & the Shades and Lorn ending up on established and respected independent labels in 2012. That didn't happen in 2013, but there might have been even more worthy album offerings from Milwaukee bands this year. Maybe we'll see some of these acts gets some indie-label love in 2014. Like the No. 1 band on this list; they all deserve it.
1."Repave,"Volcano Choir: Unfairly labeled in the press as Justin Vernon's pet project, Volcano Choir is truly a collaborative band effort, and it wouldn't be the achievement it is without the contribution of past and present members of local avant-garde band Collections of Colonies of Bees, including current Milwaukee residents Chris Rosenau, Jon Mueller and Daniel Spack. Rosenau provided the wistful guitar, Mueller the potent percussion, and Spack was the chief songwriter and inspiration for one of the album's warmest tracks, "Dancepack" ("Dancepack" = Dan Spack). »Read Full Article

1."Diane Young,"Vampire Weekend: The Afropop indie rock band didn't just signal a band sound change with "Diane Young"; it introduced ears around the country to a new style, a blend of George Michael coos with rail-riding guitar, and frantic drumbeats that brought the whole thing to the verge of self-destruction — all in 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

10 favorite new books of 2013: Editor's picks
In putting together a list of my 10 favorite new books of 2013, I was struck by how many of them consider, in this world of 7 billion humans, the value of a single life.
Jennifer Michael Hecht's "Stay" makes a compelling argument that even a life troubled by depression and suicidal thoughts is worth living. In Kate Atkinson's novel "Life After Life," a seemingly ordinary woman's single life is so important to the fabric of the universe that she keeps being reborn until she gets something right. In her memoir "Men We Reaped," Jesmyn Ward remembers, and grieves, five men she grew up with who died young and unnecessarily. »Read Full Article

2013's Top 10 Country Albums
This has been a remarkable year in country music. While it has been fun to watch all of the attention garnered across the mainstream by the genre's big flashy singles (Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" and Luke Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night" among the biggest), the real joy has come from the litany of teriffic albums crafted by newcomers and veterans alike. Anyone who writes off country music as a genre that has sold out to pop hasn't been paying attention to these discs.
With so many terrific offerings to choose from, picking a top 10 was a very difficult feat this year. While it would have been easy to spotlight at least 20 deserving discs, 10 is the going standard and decisions - some tough (I hated leaving off Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell's "Old Yellow Moon") and some easy (Brandi Clark's "12 Stories" was my clear number one from the very first listen) - had to be made. »Read Full Blog Post

Forget Meatless Mondays. Every day is meatless at an elementary school cafeteria that's gone completely vegetarian.
New York City's Public School 244 started serving vegetarian lunches three days a week, and went to five days a week after finding students gravitated toward those options, The Associated Press reported.
The school is thought to be one of the first meat-free elementary schools in the country, according to NBC News.
Among the menu items offered: tofu wraps, veggie chili, braised black beans and plantains, quesadillas, falafel, pizza and roasted potatoes.
Breakfast options include whole-grain banana bread.
The Queens school has 400 students in pre-kindergarten through third grade.

All seem to be a variation of a similar scene in "The Dark Knight Rises," in which the villain Bane proceeds to destroy and escape from the plane on which he is held a prisoner. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

Although it grows slowly, prostate is one of the most common types of cancer in men. According to the Mayo Clinic, prostate occurs in the small gland where seminal fluid transports sperm.
Much like other types of cancer, the earlier prostate cancer is detected, the more likely treatment will work. Prostate cancer spreads quickly and easily. If it is not caught early, it can spread through your bloodstream to your vital organs.
Some treatments include radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. Your doctor can help you decide what option would be best for you based upon your specific situation and stage in the disease.
