Ease the pain of winter-ravaged lips
Anyone who's said it doesn't hurt to smile must not have had chapped lips.
Chapped lips are basically an infl ammation of the lip itself and can occur for a variety of reasons, including exposure to wind, dry air, cold temperatures and the sun, said Stephanie Burleson, family medical physician with Utica Park Clinic Jenks.
“Chapped lips can be a big problem when they get sore. They can interfere with eating, drinking, talking or other types of everyday things," she said.
Breathing problems such as asthma that cause people to breath out of their mouth more than their nose can also trigger chapped lips, as can some medications.
“Medications for acne, like Accutane, are notorious for drying lips," Burleson said.
Heaters also affect the lips by causing the air to dry out.
Anger at university principals’£142,000 pay raise
University principals in Scotland have been awarded salary increases of more than twice the rate of inflation despite the tight financial climate facing the sector. A survey by The Herald reveals that in 2006-07 university principals received an average salary of £162,000, a rise of 5.2% on the previous year. The increase represents an additional £142,000 taken out of the sector's annual budget. The highest paid principals are Professor Duncan Rice, from Aberdeen University, and Professor Timothy O'Shea, from Edinburgh University, who get paid £209,000. Sir Alan Langlands, from Dundee, is paid £206,000. Lecturers' representatives have criticised the rises, following a 3.5% deal for academic staff. .
