Private wakes for frozen tots
YELLOW QUILL RESERVE, Sask. -- A Saskatchewan community is preparing to say goodbye to two little girls who froze to death earlier this week. But the Yellow Quill First Nation wants to do it without the media there. Chief Robert Whitehead said yesterday they banned the media at the request of the family and the band's elders, to allow people time to mourn. "A lot of times, our belief system's kind of overlooked when something like this happens. It's not respected, and therefore I think our young people are beginning to see that, nobody else respects it, why should we respect it?" RCMP say the two girls were taken outside by their father early Tuesday morning and ended up freezing to death in a field by their home. .
New Study Shows Isolaz Can Reduce Acne Up to 90 Percent
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southern California-based dermatologist Ava Shamban, MD and co-investigators Mikiko Enokibori, MD, and Vic Narurkar, MD, conducted a global multi-center study using Isolaz to treat patients suffering from various degrees of acne, ranging from mild and moderate inflammatory acne to severe nodular and cystic acne. The February edition of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology will report the results of this study using the Isolaz device (Aesthera Corp(TM), Pleasanton, CA) for the treatment of mild to severe acne. Prospective and retrospective data was collected from 56 patients who had undergone two to four treatments with a photopneumatic device (Isolaz). Evaluation criteria included lesion counts, using blinded physician evaluations of acne clearance, as well as treatment satisfaction surveys given to the participating physicians and patients.
Speaker's corner
Suspected drunk drivers in Britain are sometimes asked to try to say, without slurring: "The Leith Police dismisseth us". That was the Leith Police's only claim to fame until now. Now they are all over the internet after somebody leaked some e-mails between the Leith Police and an irate citizen. The correspondence began: Dear Sir/madam/automated telephone answering service. Having spent the past 20 minutes waiting for Leith Police Station to pick up a telephone, I have decided to try e-mailing. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or ouji board. As I'm writing there are 11 failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in West Cromwell Street who seem happy to play a game which involves kicking a football against an iron gate with the force of a meteorite.
Handshake ‘disrespect by Boruc’
Maybe some people are saying I am only just playing for a new contract but that doesn't bother me because I am an honest player," he added. "Six years ago, I was playing in the third division, so this is the best thing which as happened in my career to be playing for Rangers in the Champions League. "Playing against Barcelona would mean a lot to me. They are obviously a big team and a Spanish team as well, so all the time you love to play against teams from your home country. Me, Carlos and every player in the changing rooms would love to be on the pitch against such a massive club." If there was a predictable lack of tiredness from Scotland call-offs Scott Brown and Alan Hutton, Barcelona on Tuesday will be the third massive game in seven days for Barry Ferguson, despite him playing through a thigh problem sustained in the first half.
