Tara Aybar Payor

Tara Aybar Payor This morning you showed a video about a woman who bought wrapping paper with swastikas on it. I noticed that the swastikas had dots inside each of the 4 arms, and I am familiar with the Hindu swastika: it differs from the Nazi associated swastika. It is not anti-semitic. While I wouldn't buy the wrapping paper, I would suggest doing more research before airing such stories and possibly doing a follow up.

Alicia Roberts What do your feet reveal about you... turns out, they could tell alot. Toe readers, like palm readers, say you can learn about a person's personality by studying their toes. So what do Jen's 'little piggies' divulge about our favorite weather wonder woman ?

Bravo for this institute. When my husband passed away last year his eyes were donated. Two young people in India received his eyes. What a blessing. If they couldn't have been used by someone they would have been used for research. Wonderful work by a wonderful organization.
