Adult sufferers find acne is hard to face
Age lines and acne? This wasn't supposed to happen. Acne, normally the bane of teenagers, was flaring up on Kim Noble's 50-year-old face, causing the Atlanta businesswoman no small degree of frustration. "I started when I was a teenager with acne problems, and as I got older, it got worse," she says. "I was told it was due to stress and hormones. I've tried everything that was out there, from (rubbing) alcohol to injections to Accutane to Proactiv," says Noble, who has been seeing a dermatologist for years but still has flare-ups. She's not alone. Dr. Jodi Ganz, an Atlanta dermatologist, estimates half her patients are adults with mild to severe acne breakouts. "There are a ton of people with adult acne. For women, flare-ups usually occur the week before their periods; that's what we call hormonally linked acne.
Blackface-wearing Party Goers Racist?
Let me tell you a story about a party where one or more of the attendees were dressed in blackface as part of their costume. The students were having a great time. Drinks were flowing, music playing, stories were being shared. Each costume brought more and more laughter. Some were dressed as ball players, one as Madonna, others as astronauts and even a few religious figures could be seen. Then it happened. In walks a kid wearing blackface. The party guests, made up of different races, quickly begin to whisper and stare at the new guest as he walks over to get a drink. Not that it's important, but the rest of the costume is a dark 3-piece suit, sunglasses and a pendant around his neck. He's carrying a briefcase. There may have been a top hat too but I can't remember.
'You must stop this manhunt!'
On the first floor of Société Générale's giant glass tower in Paris' business district La Défense, the normally sedate corridors thronged with people in crisis management. Daniel Bouton, the chief executive of France's second biggest bank emerged to explain why the discovery of one of the financial world's biggest ever frauds - a rogue trader who lost nearly €5bn committing hidden transactions from his desk - was not all bad news. But the one question that eluded the big bosses of Société Générale was the issue all were trying to comprehend: who was this lone trader in his 30s? What motivated an intelligent, young man to commit a fraud five times greater than the infamous rogue trader Nick Leeson who caused the collapse of Barings bank in 1995? At Société Générale's head office, the men in charge shrugged their shoulders, saying they wouldn't name him.
Calling out for a hero
Modise resigned from SABC3 last week, hopefully her replacement will continue with the good work. But, back to the finale. Ever since flaky artist Isaac painted those mushroom clouds over NYC canvasses, we have known what was in store, and Wednesday is the night. No spoilers, but expect quite an overview of the whole season as we plunge forth into the end-is- nigh territory. As if he hasn't got enough on board, Peter discovers he has another power, while Hiro, who has never really accepted his new life, finally lays his superhero lot on the line. There are heart-stopping moments and bullet-stopping moments - yet another new power for someone So, will the cheerleader finally fulfil her promise and "save the world". We're saying nothing.
