Halloween Makeup Dangers by Alexa Jones
It's that time of year. Your kids will paint their faces to look like ghosts and goblins and hit the trick-or-treating route.It's time to get pick your costume and get ready to go trick-or-treating, but you can't have a bunny and a cat without a little makeup. There are two kinds of face paint, oil-based and water-based. When you're talking about children's faces, water-based paint works best because it's easy to take off and gentler on the skin."If you're using oil-based paint, the concern with that is if you leave it on too long, it can be irritating. But in addition it can make, especially teenagers, more prone to breakouts because it is oil-based it can clog the pours and make them more prone to acne breakouts," said dermatologist Dr. Ranjani Katta.While acne breakouts are not a big concern for younger children, there are plenty of other ways that makeup can cause irritation."It's not so much that their skin hasn't developed, but we're concerned about is the young child. The infants and toddlers, that they might more easily get it into their eyes or into their mouths, and they're rubbing their face a lot more and don't realize what they're doing," said Katta.After the kids head out into the neighborhood to gather all that candy, it's time to go home and take off the makeup. The water-based allows you to take it off with just soap and water. But if your child begins to itch their face after you take it off, there are ways to take care of the problem."If it's from irritation from it being left on too long, usually you're okay using some over-the-counter hydro-cortisone cream. You wouldn't want to use that for more than a couple of days, and if it still goes on, you might want to see your dermatologist about it," said Katta.It's important to read the directions before applying the makeup because some products made overseas might not contain ingredients approved by the food and drug administration.

Ronaldo fluffs his lines as Spurs' backbone shows
Arsenal are two points in front of us now and it will be nip and tuck until the end of the season. You cannot say who is going to win the league this season, but it looks like going all the way to the end.' Spurs boss Juande Ramos was right to take the positives from a performance that epitomised just how far he has taken this group of players in the last few weeks. 'It's very frustrating to lose a goal in the final moments, but I feel pleased with the level of many individual performances,' said the Spaniard, again speaking through a translator. 'It's good that we are coming away from a game against Manchester United feeling disappointed with a draw. I'm satisfied with the performances of Woodgate and Hutton and feel we are taking some steps forward.' This may prove to be a crucial point in United's pursuit of a second straight Premier League crown as they proved they can find a way out of a hole on a day when their match winner fluffed his lines.

Adjusting to a new life
Major professional sports are filled with young men who were raised in a street culture where Air Force Ones are regarded as dress shoes, the N-word is a term of endearment and self-worth is derived from what you wear and drive. They have been indoctrinated with morals based on unique concepts of loyalty, respect and rebellion. But, being professional athletes, or even big-time college athletes, they're expected to adopt mainstream culture. Immediately. .
