So if you have brown or black skin that’s prone to acne, here are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to dealing with breakouts....

The fact is admitting privileges laws ultimately harm women. Abortion is extremely safe, with more than 99 percent of abortions resulting in no major complications. These laws make no difference in patient safety, but hamper a woman’s ability to get an abortion.

We are slightly more than a month past the 20th anniversary of the dismissal by Indiana of Hoosiers legend Bob Knight, perhaps the most gifted basketball coach in the game’s history. It was a decision rendered somewhat reluctantly by a university that had countenanced his often inappropriate and occasionally cruel behavior, but reached a breaking point when video was made public by CNN earlier that year showing Knight striking IU guard Neil Reed in the throat....
