Study Finds Smoking Causes Acne
Before you light up your next cigarette, a new study shows nicotine may have yet another hidden danger, especially for women. Local 12 Medical Reporter Liz Bonis explains in today's Health Alert.Not that you need another reason to quit, but this study found that smoking has been linked to serious problems with your skin. We stopped out in Western Hills today at Queen City Physicians to tell you more about this research.It is published in the British Journal of Dermatology. Scientists found women who smoke are four times more likely to develop non-inflammatory acne as non-smokers. This can cause blocked pores, large whiteheads and even small cysts. Women may be more at risk for this than guys who smoke, researchers say, because of fluctuating hormones. The nicotine makes this worse because it constricts blood vessels, and reduces the supply of oxygen to the skin which is needed for new cells.If you are having skin problems, make sure you see your own dermatologist.

McCain and Rove form a tentative alliance
We never had any ill will after the initial South Carolina thing. After we had the meeting with President Bush we moved on. I've seen Karl Rove many times when I've been over at the White House. We've always had pleasant conversations." A transcript of McCain's remarks is below, followed by the video of the event: QUESTION: Are there other signs you see that are encouraging to you... MCCAIN: Oh yeah. A lot of the fundraisers from other camps are coming on board. And yeah we're seeing that coming together really well. We're seeing it. [Inaudible] MCCAIN: Who? QUESTION: Karl Rove? MCCAIN: Oh I, listen, he ah. Nobody denies he's one of the smartest political minds in America. I'd be glad to get his advice.
Smith: Nothin' but (Inter)Net
I think I fit well," he said. "It's the Dwyane-Shaq type of team. You've got a post-up guy and a pick-and-roll guy." T.J. Ford and Chris Bosh as Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal? A stretch to be sure. The two Raptors haven't won a playoff series yet, let alone an NBA championship. And we're not even going to talk about marketing and fame. But Kapono does bring up an interesting point. As a shooter, he played in Miami with two of the very best at giving him space to operate and that's what he hopes will happen with his new team. "There's lot of high pick and rolls, Jose (Calderon) and T.J. can get those; Chris is more of a face-up guy (than Shaq) but it's the same thing, it's all about spacing. "You have to understand how to create space, let a guy make a move, and ...
