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.
Well, That's Done
It had been 99 percent clear Feliz wasn't going to get what he wanted from the Giants: a multiyear deal. And for many fans it has been 100 percent clear that they weren't going to get what they wanted from Feliz: A guy who was more patient at the plate. So ends another disappointing attempt by the Giants to develop a good middle-of-the-lineup hitter. His OBP in eight seasons? .288 But he could field, right?

Broken families, broken courts: How rushed justice fails our kids
The doctor believed Joseph had intentionally burned the toddler. In dependency court, Monique faced a common allegation: She had failed to protect her child. With her youngest still in the hospital, police escorted Monique's two older children to a Spanish-speaking foster home in Gilroy, although they spoke only English. Later, the two would move to the children's shelter, and then to a second foster home in Hollister. Joseph was arrested, and after two years of court hearings, he pleaded guilty to felony criminal negligence, serving a seven-month jail sentence. Meanwhile, Monique battled in dependency court to regain custody of her children. But her desperation was matched by the court's seeming indifference. "You're in, you're out, they don't even talk to you," she said.
