Story Ideas for January 30

1. There's a new study out regarding eye strain in the technological era, according to a Chicago news report, "Digital eye strain a computer use concern." Everything is becoming digitized here on campus, from the Music Department bringing in iPads, to simply the use of joule for every assignment. How is it really affecting our eyesight? Are more people wearing contacts/glasses? Are students finding it difficult to focus their eyes?

2. The recent flu outbreak in Illinois has hospitals being really cautious by restricting visitors and turning away visitors with any flu-like symptoms. How bad is it really? Is it affecting Bourbonnais? Why is the flu seemingly worse this year? Apparently it's the same strain of H1N1 that spread like wildfire in 2009. It's regional, according health officials, and not widespread. According to health officials, the flu season can last until March and April. It's not to late to get a flu shot!

3. A simple story on winter blues. We all occasionally feel a little depressed about the freezing cold and lack of sunlight. How can we make the most of the rest of winter?
