| Lip implant surgery - in just fifteen minutes
According to a report in The Sunday Times, the implants, made from the same material as breast implants can be inserted into the lips in just fifteen minutes. The new implants, called PermaLip, cost between £2,000 and £2,500, and are marketed at patients who either want to boost the size of their lips, or whose lips have narrowed with age. "The PermaLip implants are soft and malleable," says Patrick Mallucci, a plastic surgeon with London Plastic Surgery Associates "so the look and feel is entirely natural and wouldn’t hinder any activity such as kissing or eating." Surgeons say that inserting the implants is a simple operation that can be carried out under local anaesthetic. The surgeon makes two small incisions in the corners of the mouth, and the implant is passed through a tunnel in the lip.

Manguso knows that he has a special group, led by eight seniors who have played hundreds of games together over the years in a number of sports, including a run to a Super Bowl title in football last fall: "They're great kids." The unquestioned floor leader is senior Bryant Johnson.
2002 set high standards
The crap-shoot that is collegiate football recruiting had to be even tougher for UL's football program five seasons ago. The Cajuns were in turmoil as a team, with Jerry Baldwin fired following the 2001 season and the squad winning only six games out of 33 starts the previous three years. New head coach Rickey Bustle kept only three holdovers from the previous year's coaching staff, and none of the new coaches had backgrounds anywhere close to UL, Louisiana or the Gulf South. .
