Stem Cell Beauty Treatment
It's the latest buzz word in beauty treatments...stem cells. In our Healthy Living report, a new anti-aging cream made right here in Utah. It's called Amatokin. They're being studied to treat disease, but the developers of a new beauty cream say stem cells may hold the key to the fountain of youth.“Improving wrinkles, small lines, deep wrinkles, lightening the skin color," said PhD researcher Nathalie Chevreau.Amatokin is a new wrinkle cream that's creating a lot of buzz in the beauty industry. The key ingredient is a peptide that's said to help stimulate the body's own stem cells.“It helps you, using your own skin stem cells which is the biggest reservoir of stem cells in the body to help the cells get younger and therefore you will look younger," said Chevreau. Nathalie Chevreau is a researcher for Basic Research, the Utah company that markets Amatokin.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I think it was a very good trade provided Kotsay is healthy, because the Braves only pay $2 mill (A's paying other $5 mill of his $7 mill salary, plus the $350,000 bonus he gets for moving, which was part of his contract). And they give up a hard-throwing reliever who hasn't panned out yet and probably wasn't going to be more than a middle man if he made this year's bullpen. Trading Devine is not akin to trading Adam Wainwright, who had potential to be an ace starter (still does have that potential) and ended up being a closer on St. Louis' World Series championship team. (And personally, I don't think that Drew-for-Wainwright deal was bad, either, because Drew was the Braves' MVP that season and very nearly helped them win a pennant. You don't get difference-makers without giving up talent, folks.
