Watch Friday Night Lights Season 4 Episode 4

Friday Night LightsFriday Night - Its the one night that really matters in the small town of Dillon, Texas. The Dillon High School Panthers are the town's pride and they have recently hired Eric Taylor. Friday Night Light is a gripping season that realistically depicts the tension and stress the town gives the high schools players to win the games, how this team is a hope for the small town, the lows and highs they go through, and the struggle and team effort that paves their way to victory.

The 4th Episode of Season 4, entitled "'I need you to not be weird about it". According to Los Angeles Times:

Four episodes into its fourth season, "Friday Night Lights" continues to barrel helmet-first into big-picture issues, covering topics of gender, race and death Wednesday night. This season is unfolding as a sort of resetting of the series. A town divided after a redistricting, technicalities such as where an entire side of the city suddenly materialized from, or when Stephanie Hunt's Devin and Julie became close, are glossed over.

Sammy Sosa bleached his skin ?!?!

Sammy-Sosa-transition

Sammy Sosa, the famous former slugger, has managed to give his fans a shock again. First, he was tested positive for steroids in 2003. However, this time he hit a bigger home-run by appearing in public with a bleached skin !!

Earlier it was assumed that the loss of skin pigmentation might be linked to the usage of steroids (which have sometimes triggered Vitiligo - a disease in which the skin loses its pigmentation). But the latest update is that the Chicago Tribune spoke to Rebecca Polihronis, an acquaintance of Sosa, who stated:

"He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.

"He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, 'If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture ... People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can't believe it is such a big deal."

The latest picture (seen below) that has stirred this issue was taken at a recent event in Las Vegas.

Maclaren Stroller Recall on November 10th

British stroller manufacturer is facing a major setback. The company is recalling all sold strollers sold after 1999 after it received more than a dozen complaints where children got their fingers amputated.

Maclaren is going to provide a hinge cover to protect the children from the hinge that is located at the side of the stroller. This hinge cover will be available from Maclaren's website and also a special  phone line. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has advised parents to stop using Maclaren strollers till the problem is fixed.

The recall was not to be announced officially till tomorrow, so its still uncertain exactly which model numbers are affected.

Dr. Jennifer Ashton spoke to Harry Smith of CNet.com about the government's recall of one million Maclaren strollers made from 1999 to 2000
