| "This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach" |

The shampoo brand has come up with Lloyds of London policy protecting their spokesperson Polamalu's hair.
"It's like J.Lo's insured butt!" People mag quoted Polamalu's as joking after learning about his own insurance policy.
Polamalu's curls are a rage amongst women and men across.

Taking 45 minutes pregame to care for his hair has become a ritual for the all-pro safety, who explained, "It's correlated to what a warrior in the past would do to prepare for war."
"You have the Mongolians, the Japanese Samurai, the Spartans-all of these warriors with long hair...and in that way you can almost get into the mind-way, preparing for some type of battle when you are doing your hair," he said. (ANI) |

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Pittsburgh news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.
This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Pittsburgh Star is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Pittsburgh.
We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Pittsburgh weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Pittsburgh Star is for you.
Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York.
