| Palomar sues Candela over patents
In the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, Palomar said Candela\'s light-based hair removal systems, including GentleLas and GentleYag, infringe on patents it has exclusively licensed from General Hospital Corp. Palomar is seeking monetary damages and an injunction against further infringement by the Wayland, Mass.-based Candela. \"For over seven years, Palomar has sent Candela letters notifying Candela that its products need a license to the \'844 Patent and offering to grant Candela such a license,\" said Patricia Davis, the company\'s general counsel. Candela could not be immediately reached for comment. Palomar favorably settled a similar suit in June against Cutera Inc., which also makes skin laser treatments. Shares of Palomar fell 75 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $34.44 in morning trading on the Nasdaq, while Candela Corp.\'s stock dropped $1.40, or 9.5 percent, to $13.36 on the Nasdaq.

I don't have a problem but my "friend" does While we all know that plastic surgery is becoming more popular, what we do not know is exactly why so many are seeking surgery as a solution. Are they just taking the easy route when diet and exercise can often accomplish the same goals as some surgeries? "I think that most plastic surgery is done because people lack self confidence, and by enhancing certain aspects of one’s physical appearance they think they can somehow gain that self confidence back," Chemical engineering junior Blake Kliebert said. "God made us all the way we are for a reason, and we shouldn’t be judgmental of ourselves because we are all equal in His eyes." Local resident Stephanie Aymond, 28, compared her generation’s young adult years to today’s young adults. "People in my generation weren’t getting plastic surgery in high school or even right after," she said.
