...database dubbed FACES (Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement), based on skeletal and dental structure data gathered from murder victims and research cadavers, some from body farms. The data is used to help reconstruct 3-D portraits of skeletal remains. While she has no plans for a body farm at LSU - the facilities can be expensive and pose security problems - she said they do provide important research for forensic anthropologists and criminologists...

Many “big-time schools,” as Meehan suggests, were represented as well, as kids from the University of Texas, USC, and LSU participated.

During the post-game interview, the euphoric LSU head coach, John Brady, gushed into the microphone about how his excellent group of guys had worked so hard and deserved the victory. But what student athletes really deserve is a future, and a successful life after college basketball glory begins with a diploma...
