> If you're going to do it, be smart. STARING AT A COMPUTER SCREEN
It's not until you've closed your laptop that you realize you've been staring at it for three hours. The time flew by, but the illuminated rectangle has kept you sucked in with your nose nearly rubbing against the screen.
According to Jim Sheedy, optometrist at Pacific University in Portland, some kids may experience what eye doctors are referring to as the three Ds: discomfort, dizziness and lack of depth. Sheedy notes that if you are encountering these problems, you may suffer from "3-D vision syndrome." Sitting the computer at least 18 inches from your face and using an overhead lamp can be a few ways to prevent this from happening.
Problems don't just occur with eyesight. For
Students use their computers for taking notes, watching videos, studying and social networking. There anything that you can't accomplish on the computer, which is exactly why staring at your computer for hours at a time continues to get a bad rap. New studies are starting to show that many kids suffer from uncorrected eye disorders due to staring at the screen.

some students, the discomfort can come in the form of neck and back pain. Adam Herpolsheimer, a senior from Wichita, lies on his back while on his computer. "After being on my back long enough, it aches for awhile even after a position change," Herpolsheimer says.
With more people experiencing nags when engaging with a computer screen, Sheedy says he believes the computer will eventually need to adapt to better accommodate humans.

sidering that this season is pretty much lost.
I would have to think Berglund is reconsidering a return to Lawrence, given the state of the football team. He had offers from more than 10 schools, and I would have to think one of them would still like to have him.
I don't see Berglund wearing a Jayhawk uniform when his legal issues settle. Until then this is Jordan Webb's team, and he needs to find a way to win or his last two years at Kansas may be more difficult than the first two.
Reports have said that Berglund loves Lawrence and this University and is wearing Jayhawk clothes back home. That's all fine and dandy, but Berglund won't come back to Kansas unless he's just looking for a quality education.
in Kansas in 2009, the program had just wiped itself clean of Mark Mangino, the second most successful coach in the University's history.
But just how broken was the football program, besides the black eye that it got from the Mangino drama?
When Gill was hired, the program was two years removed from its most successful season ever, in which it gained America's attention and brought home a trophy full of oranges. The freshmen on that team were part of the 50th best recruiting class in the NCAA, according to rivals.com, and seven of those
After Mangino resigned following scrutiny of his conduct with players, Gill was put in charge of a program with a bruised public image.
"I came here to try to fix something, and that's what I'm here to do." Gill said.
are a team on the job and you figure that will attract pretty big recruits', senior wide receiver Kale Pick said.
And it did, as the recruiting class rankings for Kansas improved the following two seasons, though the program took a wild ride of highs and lows. Kansas won a bowl game in 2008, lost its final seven games of the 2009 season, and ended the year with the departure of former coach Mangino.
When Gill arrived at Kansas, he was taking over a program that had just lost its core group of key players — quarterback Todd Reesing, running back Jake Sharp, and receiver Kerry Meier, to name a few.
But he did inherit a team made up of four top 50 classes, according to rivals.com, and this
