Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses, thus doctors and previous medical literature treats this medical problem with antibiotics. However, a new study found out that antibiotics and steroid sprays do little to cure sinus infections.

The latest study, published in December in The Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at 240 cases. The subjects were assigned to four groups for different treatments: a full amoxicillin course for a week along with 400 units of steroid spray for 10 days, just the spray, just the amoxicillin or just a placebo. The treatments were no better than placebo, a finding shown in studies of children. The reason is not entirely clear, but researchers suspect that antibiotics may not be very good at reaching the sinuses. NY Times

Aston Martin has released sketches of a new GT2 race car, based on the Aston Martin V8 Vantage road car. The Aston Martin Vantage GT2, as it will be known, will feature likely feature a race-spec version of the V-8 engine found in the road going Vantage, but whatever the configuration, we do know that it has been designed to run on either standard race fuel or E85 bio-ethanol.

With the introduction of the Vantage GT2 to Aston’s racing lineup, the UK-based luxury sports car manufacturer has a vehicle for every GT racing class. Aston Martin already offers its DBR9 for the GT1 category, the DBRS9 for GT3, and the Vantage N24 in the GT4 class. Primary GT2 competition will likely be the Ferrari F430 GT2, Porsche 997 GT3 RSR, and Dodge Viper GTSR in both the Euro-centric FIA GT series, as well as the U.S.-based American Le Mans Series (ALMS).

Aston Martin will officially unveil the Vantage GT2 at the Autosport International show January 10th, so we should have more pictures and information for you then. Keep in mind that Aston Martin chairman and head of Prodrive Racing, David Richards, is also slated to divulge Aston’s racing plans for 2008 at the show, meaning we should find out if Corvette Racing’s all-conquering C6.R GT1 racers should have a pack of DB9Rs to be concerned about in the 2008 ALMS season.

If you’ve got it, why not flaunt it (and make a total fool of yourself in the process)? That seems to be the slogan of the world’s most famous Scientologist, Tom Cruise. The once-cool movie star (seriously, remember him in Top Gun?) is acting about as outlandish as celebrities come these days, as his fuel spending habits prove. According to a note in Star (wait, are we quoting Star now? Oh boy) that’s repeated on MSNBC (that’s better), Cruise spent close to a million dollars (!) on fuel in the past year for “his Porsches, his homes, his planes and his motorcycles,” vehicles that a source said he liked to brag about. Yes, that’s planes with an s. Apparently he owns four of them. What a tool.
