SLU researchers to look at laser treatment for acne scars
ST on Monday, January 14, 2008 ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine plan to test a special laser treatment that might improve acne scars on people with darker skin. The scars are difficult to remove. Physicians usually treat the scars by removing the surface of the skin with powerful lasers or chemical treatments. These treatments can cause discoloration for people with darker skin. Dermatologists at Saint Louis University plan a clinical trial to see if a gentler laser treatment might help. The technique would use lasers that bypass the surface of the skin and stimulate collagen growth underneath. .

Telus World of Science president George Smith said most people will see beauty in the specimens rather than gore and expects the $26 tickets to sell out fast. University of Alberta anatomy professor Dr. Gail Amort-Larson expects the exhibit will be a hit with Edmontonians. "Medical students especially. At the university they only have the chance to see brain slices, nothing like this. This has the potential to be a transforming growth experience for anyone who sees it," she said.

Crisis? Only because the BCCI chose to make it one
Provided Steve Bucknor is allowed the dignified retirement he wants and deserves, at a time of his own choosing, the frequently villified ICC may be said to have come rather well out of the affair of Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds. I am not sure that the same is true of the BCCI, whose muscles were flexed somewhat indecently throughout. One understands, of course, the particular sensitivity of matters pertaining to race, but either the BCCI, like all other national representative bodies, accepts the rules of the ICC and, in this case, the procedures that everyone has agreed, whatever the outcome, or there is potential anarchy. The row that erupted at Sydney when some of the Australian players accused Harbhajan of calling Symonds a 'monkey' was only a crisis so long as the BCCI chose to make it so.

The NFL regular season has come to a close and the Cleveland Browns just missed making the playoffs. A few weeks ago it sure looked like they were in good shape as far as the post season was concerned, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Still, the Browns did register a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in their final game and there will be high hopes for this team entering the 2008 season. The Brownies finished with a 10-6 record, far exceeding expectations for this team entering 2007. This is the first time this franchise has reached a double digit win total since they re-entered the league in 1999. They provided many thrills for their die hard fans this season and belive me it was long overdue. I grew up in Cleveland and have been a life long Browns fan, so the following opinion might be a bit bias.
