• Zeeland East soccer looks ahead
Zeeland East's girls soccer team has an eye on the future, however, the Chix plan on having fun and success in the present, too. The Chix have as many freshmen as seniors (five), and they have 12 underclassmen. But Chix coach Javier Lopez said he is confident the Chix can field a competitive team this spring, and that proved to be true during the first week of play. Zeeland East opened the year with a 3-0 loss to Holland. However, the Chix beat Hamilton 3-1. "Zeeland hasn't been known for being a big soccer school," Lopez said. "We didn't do real well last year, but we didn't have experience. We picked up five freshmen this year, and a bunch of the girls played club and they have a lot of skill and touches. So I didn't have to start (from scratch).
Risk of Eye Disease Cut with Latest Contact Lenses
ISLAMABAD:A new generation of contact lenses can significantly reduce the risk of severe eye infections, researchers said on Tuesday. Wearers who keep their lenses in overnight can develop keratitis -- inflammation or irritation of the cornea -- but scientists found the new ones cut that risk fivefold. "Those who choose to sleep in lenses should be advised to wear silicone hydrogel lenses, which carry a five times decreased risk of severe keratitis for extended wear compared with hydrogel lenses," said Dr Philip Morgan of the University of Manchester in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. He and his colleagues studied 118 patients with different degrees of keratitis in a year-long study. Each person provided details about the type of lens they used and whether or not they slept with them.
DAPAC Gives OK to Downtown Proposals
DAPAC members finally adopted recommendations for developing UC Berkeley-owned property in downtown Berkeley Wednesday, but it took more than three hours, and one key element remains to be decided. The marathon session of the Downtown Area Plan Advisory Committee didn't deal with the second major item on their agenda—adoption of the sustainabilty element, the cornerstone of the new downtown plan they're formulating. Chair Will Travis began the meeting with an announcement that the city had defeated the lawsuit challenging the court settlement that provided for the creation of the new downtown plan DAPAC is formulating. “We can move forward with total confidence that we are a legitimate body," he said. When one committee member expressed doubt, Travis said, “There are still people who don't believe in global warming and even Galileo had trouble convincing everybody." While an Alameda County Superior Court judge decided against the litigation filed by activists including Anne Wagley, Berkeley Daily Planet arts and entertainment editor, attorney Stephan Volker said he will appeal on behalf of his clients.
