It is estimated that approximately 50 million people in the United States alone are affected by acne vulgaris, and another 14 million Americans experience the redness, flushing and pronounced blood vessels associated with rosacea. While there are no cures for these persistent skin conditions, dermatologists are broadening their treatment options to include laser, light and cosmetic therapies that are proving effective in managing these conditions and improving patient satisfaction.

Defiant Amy Winehouse wins big at Grammys

Tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go," she pledged in the former, even though rehab is exactly where she's been spending a lot of time, lately. "I told you, I was trouble," she sang, dolefully, on the latter. When "Rehab" was named Record of the Year, she seemed overwhelmed, covering her face and collapsing into the arms of her backing musicians. The crowd in London chanted "Amy, Amy." Recovering her composure, she gave a brief acceptance speech, thanking her parents, her business and music associates, and her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Winehouse had been nominated for six Grammys, and won five of them, including Record, Song (songwriting) and New Artist of the Year. Also, Mark Ronson was named Producer of the Year, largely for his work with her.

Student Bands ‘Masquerock’

Beer and Butterfingers usually amount to a mediocre Thursday night, but as counterparts to the first-annual Masquerock at Quincy, they seemed to set a different tone.

There were Halloween jack-o-lanterns aplenty—and even a Great Pumpkin dedicated to a certain UC representative who failed to provide a proper speaker system. Despite the shoddy amps and microphones, a campy sense of fun settled over the Quincy Collective and the three Harvard-based bands that celebrated the whole point of Halloween: dressing up like somebody else. In this case, the bands donned the appropriate costumes to present covers of rock bands Third Eye Blind, and Nirvana.

Buoyed by the enthusiasm of “emcee" and Crimson Executive Abraham J.R. Riesman '08, the Quincy Cage (in the basement of Quincy House) became the epicenter for indie rock enthusiasts at Harvard eager for free beer and music.

New Fallout 3 Developer Diary: Brotherhood of Steel

Now imagine all of that compulsion, all of that addiction we as an entire race share, and encapsulate it into one group of people. Imagine the obsession and fervor, the unending need for technological superiority, and the ultimate futility of such a goal.

Imagine, if you will, the Brotherhood of Steel.

In Fallout 3, the Brotherhood of Steel is one of the most important and influential factions you'll encounter. And while it's true they are a military organization, the Brotherhood's values and command structure are actually more representative of a medieval knightly order. Like the Templars of old, in their own eyes, the members of the Brotherhood of Steel are pure, they are just -- they are truly human in a world filled with both physical and moral corruption.

But it is the worship of technology that truly defines and drives them.
