How to Contour Your Face
Want sculpted cheeks and a slimmer nose -- instantly? We asked a pro to show us the simplest and most effective face contouring techniques
However, the strong stripes of bronzer and highlighter that work for a photo shoot or red carpet event would look downright freakish at the grocery store or dinner table. So the trick is balance: applying enough product so that your features are defined, but then blending enough so there are no tell-tale lines, says Napoleon Perdis Makeup Academy Trainer Lana Krizki.
Click here for tips on how to contour your face shape.
The other trick: using the right contouring techniques for your face shape. Krizki says the goal with contouring is to both define features, like cheekbones, but also to get the face closer to an oval face shape, which is considered ideal (if you have an oval face, you're already halfway there). That's why she showed us exactly how to contour five different face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, and oblong.
Consider this your face-contouring-made-simple guide: Just find your face shape, follow our step-by-step instructions, and be prepared for your friends and family to wonder if you've had work done. We'll leave it up to you whether to reveal your secret or not.

Great tricks to soften my square face! Great tips for every face shape.

I have a square face and through years of trial and error had figured out the highlighting tricks, but didn't know about the shading tricks (and never would have guessed on my own). I'm eager to give them a try.

I have never thought about my face shape or contouring until reading this story. I am going to try contouring my round face.

I have a heart shaped face. Have great cheekbones but a huge nose. I just kind of work with the cheekbones and distract from the nose. Good pointers. Some of the models did look a bit too darkened.

After Seau findings, what's next for NFL?
With news that Junior Seau suffered from CTE, league will be facing greater scrutiny
Mary Ann Easterling wasn't surprised that the analysis of the brain tissue of beloved Chargers linebacker Junior Seau revealed abnormalities consistent with a form of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
The neuropathologists consulting with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discovered abnormal small clusters called neurofibrillary tangles of a protein known as tau within multiple regions of Seau's brain, as Easterling suspected they would.
Tau is a normal brain protein that folds into masses in the brain cells of patients with Alzheimer's disease and a number of other progressive neurological disorders.
Why was she so sure?
Only 13 days before Seau, 43, took his life, Eastlering's husband Ray, 62, a former safety with the Atlanta Falcons, had committed suicide. His tragic act had brought an abrupt end to more than two decades of a living, crazy, confusing hell, as Ray wrestled with insomnia, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, emotional detachment, mood swings, financial crises and other issues, and she struggled to be his devoted caregiver. Finally, in 2010, doctors connected Ray's erratic behavior to the brain trauma he had suffered while playing football. Three months before his death, he was diagnosed with dementia. An autopsy of his brain revealed CTE.
"While you can't speculate on somebody's life, because the people around Junior were saying that his suicide came as such a surprise, that he hadn't had any documented concussions in the NFL and that the initial coroner's report hadn't seen anything visibly unusual, I thought they'd find CTE," Easterling said. "Why? Because Junior's behavior was just like Ray's.
"But you have to live with somebody to be able to tell they've got it. Football players are so good at covering up, bravado and making things seem like they're not. It's a personality unlike any other. They'll regale you with stories, but at the same time, their families will say, as Junior's kids did, 'But we have to tell him five times when our game was so he'd be there. And he'd still forget.' "
Seau is biggest name
This past week's announcement that the NIH study had found CTE in Seau's brain tissue made him the latest, and most prominent, athlete to be associated with the brain disease, which has haunted the sport of football, and the NFL, in particular, in recent years as mounting research studies have exposed the possible long-term cognitive impact of head injuries sustained on the playing field.
Since CTE was diagnosed in the brain of former Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Andre Waters after his suicide in 2006, the disease has been found in nearly every former player whose brain was examined posthumously. (Currently, CTE can be diagnosed only posthumously.) That includes former Chicago Bears defensive back Dave Duerson, who committed suicide in February 2011, shooting himself in the chest to preserve his brain and leaving behind a suicide note that read, "Please, see that my brain is given to the NFL's brain bank."
Researchers at Boston University, who are pioneering the study of CTE, have discovered it in 33 of the 34 brains of former NFL players they have examined.

Forno Bravo Community Cookbook
Everyone's Invited to Join In!
Hello, Wood-Fired Oven Lovers.
Okay. I think we made a mistake. We included two pieces of similar news regarding the Forno Bravo Community Cookbook in the same publication (our June newsletter) – and it was confusing for our readers. We're sorry about that.
So, let me try to clarify things here.
As you probably know, we recently started a special program to provide Primavera ovens to a few professional chefs, in exchange for their serving in an official capacity as consistent, regular contributors to the Community Cookbook. This is a fun way for us to build momentum and grow the Cookbook.
We have heard from a number of our community members who say they think that means we only want to have professional chefs posting recipes in the Cookbook. But nothing could be further from the truth! And we are very sorry if we implied as much and caused any offense.
The Community Cookbook is, as the name says, a community resource. We created it specifically so everyone could share their own experiences, recipes and comments in a community setting. We want everyone to join in and enjoy it! That is why we've just released a new, easier-to-use version of the Cookbook.
But from some responses we've received, I can see we were not clear about what we were trying to do.
Forno Bravo is all about community. For the past 10 years, we have enjoyed seeing each other's ovens and recipes, making comments, giving tips, and getting to know a great community of people. Of all the things Forno Bravo has accomplished, I am the most proud of the group of people that has come together to create our wonderful community.
We want everyone to post recipes, make comments on other members' recipes, and even create your own wood-fired cooking blog on the Community Cookbook. Jump in!
-Post recipes and your photos (you don't even have to register to do this – we're making it that easy): http://www.fornobravo.com/cookbook/post-your-own-recipe/
-Create your own blog. Sign up and write about your own cooking experiences and ideas. It takes just a few moments to set up your (free) blog via the Cookbook: http://www.fornobravo.com/cookbook/wp-signup.php
-View other members' recipes to get ideas and inspiration. Comments and ratings welcome!: http://www.fornobravo.com/cookbook/
In summary, I want to sincerely express how much we appreciate all of you and your contributions to the world of wood-fired cooking. Please, light your ovens this weekend and let us know how it goes. We are looking forward to seeing all of your culinary creations.
– James

Eisenhower Medical Center has received full accreditation as a chest pain center from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC). Originally accredited in 2006, Eisenhower Medical Center became the first hospital in California to earn Cycle III accreditation with PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) in 2009 is now the first in the Valley to achieve Cycle IV accreditation with PCI.
Chest Pain Centers strive to quickly diagnose cardiac patients, begin treatment within minutes and significantly improve the chance of a positive outcome. According to SCPC, Chest Pain Centers reduce mortality rates by 37 percent. SCPC is a non-profit international society focused on improving cardiac care for patients with acute coronary syndromes and other heart related issues.
The emphasis of accredited Chest Pain Centers includes focusing on high-risk patients as well as decreasing unnecessary admissions of low risk patients with chest pain. An estimated 50 to 60 percent of emergency department chest pain patients are admitted to coronary care units and most are found to be free of cardiac disease. Chest Pain Centers achieve success with early intervention and rapid initiation of therapy.
As the need for Chest Pain Centers rises, so has the need to create the standards for improving consistency and quality of care provided to patients. The Society's protocol-driven accreditation process ensures these centers meet or exceed quality of care measures in cardiac care services.
Key areas in which an accredited Chest Pain Center must demonstrate expertise include:
Heart attacks are the leading cause of death for both men and women all over the world. More than five million Americans visit hospitals each year with chest pain. The goal of the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care is to significantly reduce the mortality rate of these patients by teaching the public to recognize and react to the early symptoms of a possible heart attack, reduce the time it takes to receive treatment, and increase the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment.

England must give fringe players chance to shine in Six Nations clash with Italy, says Stuart Barnes
A fourth straight win was a great result for England, although far from their finest performance since beating New Zealand.Back to story

Hi Stuart, As an Exeter Chiefs supporter I was delighted with our performance and result at Harlequins on Saturday. I also enjoyed very much your complementary commentary during the game. I am however intregued to know who are new player called Haydn Morgan is!? Kind regards Steve

Dear Stuart I think the way he England team have won their games is to be commended but I stress this , they have won nothing yet! I love the confidence , but I feel talk of a grand slam espeially the way you the media have already all but given them the Championship is an insult to the other teams, you have two more games to go and last of all in Cardiff! I guarantee this Enland team will not have experienced a more hostile (all in good sport) atmosphere, plus the defending champions who are coming back to the form they showed last year. I would also like to touch on the War burton debate, he hasnt played to his normal standards I agree but I feel in a Lions environment where the slate is clean and its a different pressure I feel he will be the man to take on Pocock ! I am hoping Mr Lydiate will be fit and will compliment him, then you will see who is the best No7 in Northern hemisphere, I beleive England will provide a strong contingent, esp the half backs who are a class above, I am a big fan of Parling, and believe it or not think Ashton will thrive in a Lions environment, it will be important to have good blend of countries

Hi Stuart, I've just watched a Gareth Steenson masterclass in Exeter's win against Quins. Why isn't Kidney knocking the door down of a guy that can keep an international like Mieres on the bench ?

Dennis The menace says...
Do you think that the people who believe that the Lions must counter Pocock/Hooper with a like-for-like open side fetcher are missing the point somewhat. In fact what we need is someone who can wipe them off the ball and beat them with physicality at the breakdown - I am thinking Hill vs Smith from 2001 or even when sides have (rarely) managed to counter McCaw. If we concede that as far as open side fetchers go then we don't have anyone in the home nations as good as those two then in my opinion it makes Robshaw's case (or a similar sort of player) for inclusion even stronger. It would also lend to the notion that we are playing to OUR strengths and not simply basing a gameplan on countering the Aussies. We must also not forget that the likes of Cole, Jenkins, Healy, O'Driscoll & Brown aren't too bad at the fetching job themselves!

What has Danny Care ever done in a white shirt to earn a starting place on merit over Ben Youngs? Why is Farrell anything other than a metronomic goal kicker ? Why has Ashton not been dropped? Why is Lancaster doing a Saint Andre by persisting to play players out of position with negative outcomes? Thank you
Posted 12:27 26th February 2013
Melvin Longhurst says...
Stuart Barnes shifts his posistion quicker than the Titanic . Fact is that Tom Youngs immediately delivered more than Hartley did all match and as for Care deserving a start against Italy smart rhetoric as he could not fail to shine ! In fact Ben Youngs deserves to keep his place on merit whereas Care has done nothing in a white shirt to earn a start . Farrell, Hartley Marler and Lawes on form should be dropped to the bench.

Paul Jessup says...
Hi Stuart - Dont you think we should focus on the small, detail elements of the game that make ultimately big impacts either spontaneously - like England's try that should have been a scrum to France, or indeed, when amalgamated over a period of time can create "tipping point" impacts? Chris Ashton hasn't wanted to defend properly for a few games now - but it was only in Saturday's game that this detail was revealed. In this rapidly progressing professionalisation of everything in rugby, it is all about continuous marginal improvements - just look at the GB Olympic cycling team. I am as surprised as you are of the behavioural inconsistencies of some of England players, as I am with someone not giving Ashton a good talking to after the 1st time he defended poorly 3 games ago. These detail faults do not lead to enduring excellence, as exemplified in the All Black teams, and will not, if allowed to fester, lead to England rugby prevailing for years to come. I also think, though, that there should be more of this detail feedback from the BBC commentary team who increasingly seem off the pace, and armchair savvy, rather than willing to dissect and analyse key areas of the game's detail. Pair you with Moore and Greenwood and with Ryan when/if he gets off Scotland duties and Sky would do us rugby professional armchair experts much to cheer about! We dont want to lose the values that the game is built on, but I think we need more insight into the more mental and technical aspects of the game as it becomes more sophisticated...thanks for your comments!

Steve Parsonage says...
Hi Stuart, Whilst I agree that aggression is an important part of Owen Farrell's game I found his late ineffectual pushes and posturing on Saturday an embarrassment but nowhere near as embarrassing as Parra's theatrical dives to the turf. Isn't it time that the citing committee took action against such behaviour before it becomes an unfortunate and accepted part of our beloved game?
Posted 15:04 25th February 2013
David Rackley says...
Hi Stuart, I think my patience has reached its end with the Owen Farrell special treatment. He finally didn't have a easy ride in a match and responded to it playing in his restrictive manner. He can't attack, it's plain to see, and when Flood came on there was indeed an edge. Moreover, Farrell's etiquette is abysmal and does not make a good role model for those aspiring to be a professional sportsman. He was very lacklustre, and surprise surprise his injury turns out to be innocuous, he is hiding, and to be frank he's sitting in his father's pocket. A lions contender? I think not, if he offers nothing but kicking it is irrelevant as Halfpenny's boot is more than adequate, A replacement to Sexton needs an attacking edge, of which Farrell has none. It's been noticed before, and nothing has changed, he should not be the England Fly Half and a good dressing down is needed to show him he is not allowed to be an arrogant, boyish rugby player. In my opinion, Flood and Burns need to be in the starting squad. I know i've been very strongly opinionated, but do you agree in any way? thanks, Stuart

Welcome to the Barclays investment bank layer cake
What a difference a year makes. On April 18 last year, Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins said that the investment banking division was so important that he wanted to "de-layer" the management structure giving him a "clearer line of sight" into the business. On April 17 this year, he added that management layer right back in. What's going on?

Gabby Douglas: No Poland Spring Girl
Gabby Douglas had me at the first release move.
The gymnast who would become the breakout star of the 2012 Olympics wasn't even officially part of the American Cup all-around competition in March. She was an alternate beside the more accomplished Jordyn Wieber and Aly Raisman, only allowed to show her routines to gain experience. But when I saw Gabby perform on bars, she launched herself into the air, higher than any woman has ever done, her ponytail sticking straight up as though reaching for the sky. By the time she came back to earth, I was a fan.
Gabby has a history of beating low expectations. Even after she qualified for the Olympics and headed to London, legendary gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi picked the dependable Wieber to win at the Games, telling The New York Times: "Gabby is a flame, a beautiful flame that can shine and glow but can fade out." When it was Gabby who stuck all four routines for the gold, America was not quite prepared for her to take on the iconic title of "America's Sweetheart"—one that was first conferred to a gymnast when Mary Lou Retton won the women's all-around at the Los Angeles Games in 1984. The fact that Gabby was black made her achievement both more momentous and destabilizing.
Gabby has already been part of controversies related to race, over her hair and statements she made about being bullied at her old gym. But the media haven't discussed what it means that after Gabby got the standard cereal box endorsement for Kellogg's corn flakes, it was Raisman who recently inked an endorsement deal for Poland Spring, the top-selling bottled water brand in America.
While Raisman did get a gold in the floor exercise, the all-around is much harder to win, and has traditionally been the most prestigious medal in gymnastics. Raisman reinforced the brand's tag line when she said in the company press release: "Poland Spring is the 100% natural spring water that I have used as part of my training, recovery and everyday life."
The company cites Raisman's New England roots as a reason for the endorsement, perhaps to deflect a question that must be asked: Why didn't Gabby get it? Poland Spring is associated with many qualities that Americans have come to expect from their sweethearts—pure, unspoiled, natural. Did the company feel that Raisman could embody those qualities better than the girl who beat her in the all-around?
This is not the first time that questions of race and product endorsement have come up. One need only to examine the profiles of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, arguably the two most visible female athletes in the U.S. prior to the Olympics. Williams is far more accomplished on the tennis court, but it's Sharapova who has topped the Forbes list of highest-paid female athletes for the last seven years. Sharapova also endorses Evian Water and Clear Shampoo while Williams endorses Gatorade and Avon. The white woman's brands are all about being pure and natural, while the black woman's is all about using products to artificially boost one's athletic and aesthetic potential. And as we've seen from the discussion of Gabby's hair at the Olympics, "natural" for a black and a white woman mean entirely different things.
For those who somehow missed it, Gabby was criticized on social-media sites—primarily by other blacks—for her sloppy hair during her Olympic performances. The media went wild, publishing vigorous defenses in publications like The Washington Post, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Beast, and Essence. Many pointed out that she wore the same messy bun as her teammates, and that the natural curls in her straightened hair began to reappear because she was sweating for the gold medal.
Monisha Randolph claimed in a highly-cited blog post that Gabby is under no obligation to represent her race, then added: "Okay, let's go ahead and make her the face of Black America. She represents where we come from and the opportunities we now have because of our elders' sacrifices. I respect that and all but someone please tell me what that has to do with how she maintains her hair while playing sports?"
What Randolph and other critics don't account for is that if we accept Gabby as a positive symbol, we must also accept that her symbolic value extends far beyond her abilities as an athlete. It's impossible to control what Gabby means to people, and she can symbolize slovenliness for some even as she symbolizes athletic prowess for many others.
Telling people not to care about Gabby's hair because she wore it like her teammates masks the ugly truth that while a white girl in her natural state connotes innocence, a black girl in her natural state continues to evoke poverty, primitiveness, and dirt. This is why Lauren McEwen makes sense when she writes in The Washington Post: "It's not healthy, and it's not fair, but let's not pretend like we don't know where it comes from," in reference to black people's gibes at Gabby's hair. The stakes are higher for black people when it comes to appearance, and pretending otherwise is comforting but can also cover up underlying and persistent dynamics of race in America.
We can never discount the possibility that there are also a large number of non-black people who see Gabby as less presentable than her white teammates. But there's no way to determine if this is the case, in part because it's no longer acceptable to express such thoughts with words. What Americans may do is disproportionately buy products endorsed by white women like Raisman, unable to fully embrace Gabby as their sweetheart, even though no other woman in her sport has flown higher.

I too was surprised that Gabby didn't get this endorsement! She is the All Around Champion and the excuse they use for choosing Raisman is that she's from New England ? So let me get this straight, people who don't live in New England don't drink Poland Spring ? Screw them, I won't be buying their water anyway! Nothing against Raisman but I think it says a lot about this company that they didn't choose the Champion. I think they're a racist company and for the record I'm WHITE!

Raisman was chosen team captain because she was the oldest not because she was the supposed best let's be clear! Gabby was seen as the underdog the whole time. They never thought she would make it past qualifications and she proved them wrong! She came out on top and for that she deserves the choicest endorsements that come with being the champion! That is how it has been in the past! This country is still so racist and sometimes I can't stand being white!

You're absolutely right. Aly's individual achievements were noted in an earlier draft of the article but it got lost during the editing process. I did intend to point it out, and am going to add a sentence to note it.
That said, points in Aly and Gabby's favor can be made on both sides. Aly won more medals, but the all-around is more prestigious, harder to win, and traditionally what people most focus on. Aly was the captain, but Gabby was the only one to compete all four events in the team final. I'm not arguing that there are no other factors or that the racism is overt and clear-cut. I just want to point out that it's important for all of us to think about how we perceive athletes we admire and whether race plays a factor in our perceptions.
Fri, 2012-08-31 15:48
Also Gabby was only allowed to exhibition at the American Cup because it was a FIG world cup event and invitations were based off FIG rankings. It isn't like Jo and Aly were selected ahead of Gabby, like in the Olympic AA there is a two per country rule. Gabby at that point was ranked the third best American.

Now it's officially on record you are hiding your racism. Good job cracker. It's amazing how the left can turn anything around to their viewpoint whether it is true or not. I see the author has slaves in the Phillipines who knit for her so she can make an obscene profit. Right on! This is actually fun, just say what ever the hell you want, don't worry about the truth. Damn I'm a democrat and didn't know it.
Sun, 2012-09-02 17:46
You seriously have to be the biggest idiot I have ever seen write comments in an article.lol
New England has always supported New England athletes and Gabby is not from here. You are obviously too stupid to understand facts.
You are not white. What you are is a liar.
I am going to the store today and buy 8 24 packs of water just to counter your stupidity.
Fri, 2012-08-31 13:13
First of all, "people" are not raising the question, you are.
Second, maybe it's because Raisman uses the product, and Gabby doesn't?
Third, I saw Gabby interviewed twice, and I don't like her personality. I found her haughty and egotistical. I'm sure the water company has research data saying I'm not alone.
Blame sexism, not racism, for the Sharapova-Williams deal. Sharapova is hot: Williams looks like a linebacker (black and white linebackers run about the same size, I've noted).
So what EVIDENCE exactly do you have that this is about racism. Because McEwen says so? This article is silly, small, and beneath the dignity of this publication.
Fri, 2012-08-31 15:18
Is Kelloggs anti-Semitic because they aren't putting the captain and most decorated American gymnast on their cereal box alone?
Gabby and her agent have both said that they are fielding HUNDREDS of offers. Poland Springs AND Aly AND her agent was able to act fast. These girls have has a ton on their plates and it seems that the media is trying to make this more of an issue.
I agree that if anything its more about sexism than racism.
Fri, 2012-08-31 15:30
Are you serious ? Traditionally, Kellogg's or Wheaties always contracts with the All Around Champion so WTF ??? This is definitely a RACIST move on the part of Poland Spring!! There is zero evidence that Aly Raisman drinks Poland Spring!! Gabby should have gotten that endorsement and I think they didn't give her the deal because she is African American and she is not your traditional Jewish American Princess where as Aly is!!!

This is ridiculous! And by the way, the last time I checked, Aly Raisman was/is Jewish. Articles like this are helping to make Gabby a polarizing figure. There are plenty of endorsement deals to be made, however Gabby needs some media training STAT, if she wants to secure more endorsements.
Fri, 2012-08-31 18:16
Speaking of "racism" Gabby's agent Sheryl Shade and her husband just lost a 4 year battle in court in a case brought by their former black nanny. If you want to read the story, Google "Sheryl Shade Nanny Lawsuit" to read about the racist names Ms Shade's husband called the nanny, how he physically assaulted her & they didn't pay the wages she was owed. Now THAT is true racism!
Sun, 2012-09-02 17:15
Gabby did not get this deal because she comes across as a cocky spoiled brat , ignorant, arrogant and obnoxious. That is the same reason no one likes Serena Williams.
I don't see Gabby getting many deals at all if she continues to act like the self entitled jerk. It's just the way it is.
The only people making racists comments at this article are the black people calling white people crackers. The writer of this article is obvious racist himself which is why he find it okay to call a white person a cracker.
Time to get over it. Gabby is a jerk and if she continues to act this way no one will ever hire her for any endorsements.
Beyonce is a star and she comes across as a very gracious humble down to earth person. That is why she is a huge name. That is why she stars in television commercials. Last time I checked she was black.
This is the same reason Shawn was the star from 08 and Nastia was the who won again girl? One was arrogant and obnoxious that treated her teammates badly, called them fat and ran around saying they stole her world AA medal. That comes across every time she tries to sell something where as Shawn is a sweet, down to earth kid and she stars in the coke commercials because of it.
Tue, 2012-09-04 20:59
What I find powerful about this article is that the author isn't making any simple claims as to whether Poland Springs is or isn't racist, but rather the ways these nationwide endorsement choices reflect race-related bias among the American public, a bias that often passes unrecognized. I'm grateful to the author for bringing up the point that this affects us across the board: white and black people (and people of color in general) are beholden to unspoken realities about what black signifies in our society. What seems to me the most significant line here is: "The stakes are higher for black people when it comes to appearance, and pretending otherwise is comforting but can also cover up underlying and persistent dynamics of race in America." The point being, all the controversy about Gabby and her race reveals more than racism and specific perpetrators; it reveals racism's far-reaching effects even within the black community which must find ways to salvage its own dignity while living within its pervasive and inevitable embrace.
Fri, 2012-09-07 22:13
Don't worry folks, Gabby is getting plenty of endorsement deals. You will be seeing her a lot in the future.
@Gym Mom - You definitely don't have your facts straight and must be one of those people that believe what they read online. Sheryl Shade and Matt Mazer won and feel vindicated after 3 years of litigation and 8 days of trial. The jury deliberated and found that Mr. Mazer did not make racial statements, did not physically strike Ms. Francois, did not commit battery, so they dismissed her claims of battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The jury found both Ms. Francois and Mr. Mazer at fault with respect to the assault claim (which means they were both engaged in a verbal argument). You did, however, fail to mention that the nanny is an illegal immigrant, has never paid taxes, has the same SSN as 3 other people, has not worked in nearly 4 years, her blurry vision is caused by hereditary glaucoma not by Mr. Mazer and she had no proof of any of her allegations. She basically was going for a big pay day in court. Fortunately the jury saw through her lies. Sheryl Shade represents Gabby a wonderful young black woman, Coach Chow from China, Coach Bela Karolyi from Romania along with many wonderful American athletes . . . . . that's hardly a line up of someone that's supposedly a racist.

Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim has launched an astonishing assault against ESPN college basketball reporter Andy Katz Wednesday night. At Boeheim's press conference after the #6 Orange were upset by Connecticut, Katz asked the coach a question about the Syracuse-UConn series and Boeheim responded by saying he wasn't going to answer it. He also included these choice words about Katz recorded by WAER: "I'll answer anyone's question but yours because you're an idiot and really a disloyal person. And a few other things I can add, but I'm not gonna go there." Let me pick up mouth on the floor! That's an attack you will rarely ever see from a coach to a well-known national reporter... and seemingly out of the blue as well. Although Boeheim may still hold a grudge against ESPN and Katz for reporting that goes all the way back to the Bernie Fine case, it's more likely Katz's recent reporting on ineligible Orange player James Southerland is the crux of the issue. Katz shared specifics about Southerland's academic eligibility during Wednesday night's game. Larry Brown Sports notes Fox's Peter Schrager says that's why Boeheim called Katz "disloyal"... I'm told by "in the know" sources that Katz irked Boeheim by sharing info JB believed was off the record on the air re: James Southerland. — P. Schrager (@PSchrags) February 14, 2013 Katz had this response in the press room according to WAER: .@espnandykatz response to the press room crowd: last time I checked I wasn't getting paid by Syracuse U — WAER Sports (@WAERSports) February 14, 2013 This controversy is a bit trickier of a situation than initially meets the eye. If Katz was told that information about Southerland confidentially by Boeheim, you can understand why the coach would be upset. That said, Katz's checks are written by ESPN, not Syracuse, and certainly not Boeheim. To launch such an outlandish personal attack on Katz from his bully pulpit isn't a good look for the Syracuse coach, and it's far from the first time Boeheim has overstepped with little class in this manner. College coaches have enough of a problem with insane, egotistical power trips as it is without trying to intimidate and bully members of the media. It's a complex situation and one likely involving Katz's sources, which means we'll probably never know the full story. However, at the end of the day Andy Katz's loyalty lies with his reporting and ESPN. Not Jim Boeheim.
so he takes a shot at a scribbler/mumbler...so fekkin what...those under the lights catch the rocks all the time, what's so holy about the media they can't take a salvo now and then, look who's crying for him, other scribblers,,,grow up
The Press deserves what they get from BOOHIME because he is not able to sit down without having the Press's liplock on his butt. Last month he was interviewed and quoted by the Press for his thoughts and opinion on gun control. When BOOHIME's own Sandusky story surfaced; The Press did nothing compared to the efforts you put forth to unveil the truth. Stop whining and become real reporters instead of a bunch of spineless liplocks with no balls!
where are the comments
As a reporter you better have some ethics or these coaches will kick you to the curb. If it was off the record Katz should have kept his piehole shut. That is burning bridges my friend but than again I feel most reporters are bottom feeders.
Love JB All he does is get the most out of his players.
Who is Andy Katz???
YES! The press is a joke and Katz especially,
Go get him Jim,reporters and newscasters are just talking heads with no real skills. It's time to give it back to them. Don't be afraid to go after them.You have worked your butt off and accomplished great things.Thanks.
I love how you are all ripping repoters but look where you are. Right here reading what they report. You are a bunch of hypocrites. If you dont like thier reporting dont read the news, stay off the websites and shut the hell up.
Only a REPORTER would say that...TROLL!!!!!!
you shut the hell up andy
I love coach when he protects his student athletes. The media tried to attack Derrick Coleman as well and coach defended him like he was his own child. The media have to remember that these are children and a lot of them come from stressed backgrounds and is thrown in the Lions Den (media/publics eye) at a very young age and the public (consumers) expect these children to perform socially like seasoned adults. It takes a while to make the adjustment if the adjustment is made at all. The public & media is the crux to all of our athletes that we enjoy because we creat the monsters they become. Enjoy the damn sport and leave their personal life out of it. Katz is an idiot. I met Sutherland and this is one of the nicest kids you would ever want to meet. These kids showed me a lot of respect , both basketball and football and we need to cut them some slack.
JB is a Blowhard !!! He shows it everytime he opens his big mouth !! Every year he has kids get into eligebility problems with their grades So He is not on top of That Part of there College expeience..Lets Be honest these guys aren't taking Pre Med !! He should b3e in constant contact with professors if His Players! And if they are having problems and remedy it with extra help..They go to college to get a degree not jusp play basketball and try to make JB look Good !!
So, you must think SU os the only school to have this issue?? JB is only the 2nd best college hoops coach of ALL TIME!!! You should keep your SEXUAL preferences to yourself!!!!!!
eligebility problems
That Part of there College expeience
Lets Be honest
with professors if His Players
not jusp play basketball
Maybe you should have been on top of YOUR college "expeience." Is this even English?
Come on Andy ur the blowhard always wanting to start some controversy so you can have something to write.
The author of this article must not remember 2006, when Coach JB ripped an opposing assistant coach a new one in postgame conference (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn3kPBww2w0&playnext=1&list=PLB121D0F72D868BA7&feature=results_video, if the link doesn't work just search on "Jim Boeheim uncensored," and turn down the sound or use earbuds if you're in the office, because it's NSFW). Coach JB has won over 900 games, has the ring and the cut-down net, is in the Hall of Fame, earns millions with much less talent than Coach K, Coach Cal or any of a number of his colleagues, has a beautiful wife, beautiful children, and, at age 68, doesn't really give a **** about what anyone else thinks.
The PRESS will always back the PRESS, even when they are wrong. The PRESS ran out Bernie FIne and never reported on their failings. Katz took off the record info and put it on air, all in the name of his paycheck. He has no journalistic credibility. I would never give this guy the time of day if I were a coach or player. In fact,I'd never talk to any of them,
Katz, I believe, is an SU graduate and I'm sure has used that to get inside information. He has not been a friend of SU since he has been at ESPN. I'm not sure why any coach feels the need to give anythng to these media divas.
The cheater is taking the heat and striking out at the reporter. How many "student" athletes does he have in his program.
I don't know why people keep giving info to reporters and expect it to not get reported. Knowledge is power and reporters are just gossip mongers on a power trip.
"Off the record" means just that. If Katz reports something he was told in confidence, he broke a trust that he probably won't get back. I don't care who writes his check, he can't be trusted.
Who the hell wrote this story? This is some pimply face noob blogger sucking up to Katz.
Come on! When did this country believe that the media is anything but a fringe benefit to sports regardless of how much money they pour into the system? It's getting old that the media believe they are above or privledged compared to the game, coaches, schools, owners, and players. They are reporters, not children who deserve to be handled like babies. Reporting should be a career of hard knocks. Only a very view, if any, should have equal rights to those directly involved. No doubt coaches, especially after losing,even Boeheim whose been around forever, get edgy now and again and say the wrong thing at the wrong time. But I guarentee poor little Andy Katz said something he should never have. Reporter for elite ESPN or not, they should treat players and coaches with respect... ALWAYS.
Totally unprofessiional.
"College coaches have enough of a problem with insane, egotistical power trips as it is without trying to intimidate and bully members of the media like Jim Boeheim." This pretty much sums it up. There is a good percentage of coaches who are normal, steady individuals. Then there is a certain segment whose "authority" and salary give them a megalomaniac personality. Boeheim is one of those who feels his words should not be be questioned. I bet anything he apologizes to Katz before the day is over.
When I see Jim Boeheim on TV he should have a diaper on and a bottle in his mouth. He is always crying to the Ref about everthing. When is he going to retire!!!!!
What a cry baby! Get it over pal, talk happens in sports and it's not alway's what you want to hear. If you can't handle the talk then you need to get out of sports. Maybe you would be better suited for a childs basketball team.
fox and espn SUCKS! give'm hell boeheim.
Sports news has become "tabloid" crap - Siccum Coach
Most sports reporters are full of themselves, if they knew half of what they want the listener/viewer to think they know, wouldn't they be somewhere actually coaching instead of trying to sensationalize somthing about a coach, player or team seemingly for his own agrandizement !
I'm an SU fan. I think Boeheim's great. I watched the game and heard Katz's comments about Southerland.
This may be a misunderstanding. JB was apparently told about Katz mentioning what he learned about the suspension and was understandably steamed at an apparent breach of confidence on a sensitive subject. But when JB has time to sit down and listen to what Katz actually said, he may change his mind in light of two things. First, Katz reported a conversation he had directly w/ Southerland, not some off-the-record backgrounder from SU staff. Second, the gist of the story was that Southerland was totally innocent and now cleared of the suspected wrongdoing. Katz didn't say anything that made either SU or Southerland look bad; the blame was directed toward an overly paranoid NCAA. I doubt that JB would disagree.
take any sports figure in the limelight,,,he's going to face a barrage of questions and as reporters work to get the skinny, they may tick a guy off,,,the coach or player goes back to the game,,,the reporter,,,he just reloads,,,all in a days work,,,you gotta take it when you're out to give it.
I heard Andy Katz on Mike and Mike this morning and he sounded like your typical media weasel. In other words, its really all about him and he will do anything to attract attention. If he can get that attention by violating JB's trust on the Southerland issue, so be it. Not a Syracuse fan but I will never take the side of a media tool over someone who is in the arena.

August 2014
Dead Native's self-titled sophomore album has an overall cosmic feel starting with the cover but building through out in the sound. The band blends echoing elements of psych rock, shoegaze, mototik, and pop. There is also a blues under current, but it is toned down from their 2013 debut, Keep It Strange". The adventure on the new album builds through out the tracks, but the most effective cosmic track has to be "Traveling". The 9 minute epic space journey seems built to put anyone into orbit. It is followed up by the one of the heavier tracks, "Clean Kill", that trudges through muddy fields of throbbing guitars. The album closes with an anthemic flourish with "Respite" with all instruments soaring to a close. This may or may not be a concept album, but it does truly feel like a complete listen that was meant to be played track by track. Dead Native's new album will be released on Sept. 2nd.

BBA/MSA Program
Loyola's nationally ranked BBA/MSA degree program is rigorous yet flexible. Students who major in accounting at the undergraduate level pursue careers in auditing, taxation, systems, consulting, and management accounting. Coursework prepares students for the CPA, CMA, CFE, and CIA examinations. Interested and qualified students must apply to complete the master's portion of the program by the first semester of their junior year in order to take advantage of some MSA program course reduction opportunities. However, students can apply to the MSA program at any time during their academic career. BBA/MSA students can complete the graduate coursework component in one year.
Benefits of the BBA/MSA Program
- Provides the necessary credit hours to meet the 150-hour requirement for CPA examination
- Allows students to meet their competition head on once they become accounting professionals
- Provides accounting depth and breadth beyond what is gained from the typical undergraduate education
- Supplies the necessary critical business and accounting decision-making and problem-solving skills to succeed in today's demanding workplace
- Allows students to explore ethics and values across all areas of accounting and business, fully preparing them to excel in the current climate of heightened accountability
- Enables students to better understand the global implications of accounting and business decisions
University Core Curriculum
Loyola undergraduate students must complete University Core Curriculum, which is a "learning outcomes" approach that emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and values students obtain in their education.
Business Core Curriculum
All Quinlan School of Business students must complete the Business Core Curriculum to develop a solid understanding of all aspects of business.
BBA Accounting Major Requirements
Undergraduate students who choose to complete the accounting major must complete the 21 credit hours within the major.
BBA/MSA Requirements
BBA/MSA students must complete 12 additional courses (36 hours) beyond the BBA accounting major requirements. This includes six accounting courses (minimum five MSA-level), one graduate business ethics course, two MBA elective courses (non-accounting), and three general elective courses (MBA, MSA, and/or upper-level undergraduate accounting courses).
Some reduction in course requirements is allowed if Loyola students take additional upper-level accounting classes beyond the minimum requirements for an undergraduate accounting degree. See MSA Program Director for additional information.

Do you believe in second chances? Robert McNerney does. A few years back, he went to the Atlantic City Classic Car Auction in hopes of finding a C1 that he could buy as a weekend driver and occasional show car. "I was looking at '58s and '59s, but when I saw this car, the color grabbed my eye right away," he says from his Mahwah, New Jersey, home. "And the condition-it was impeccable."
What he'd found was a Fawn Beige Metallic with Ermine White coves '61 set to cross the auction block, originally sold in New York, meticulously maintained and in great condition. Unfortunately, when the hammer came down, the auctioneer didn't point to Robert. "I was outbid on it," he recalls. "The car went back to the auction the subsequent year, and I bought it off the second owner. He was trying to sell it there, but he didn't. I'd left my number with him, and he called me, and we ended up making the deal. I wasn't going to miss it the second time!"
Not only did Robert buy a distinctive-looking C1, but he also bought a late-production car built in July 1961, the last month of model-year-'61 production (per its VIN number and Mike Antonick's Corvette Black Book) with some fairly rare factory options. There's the two-tone paint, which-in these colors-was only applied to 358 of the nearly 11,000 '61 Corvettes built. Underneath is an RPO 469, highlighted by dual Carter AVS four-barrel carburetors atop the hydraulic-lifter-cammed, 245hp 283-an option which only 1,175 Vettes received that year.
Being a '61, there are plenty of "firsts" and "lasts" on the car. It was the first year for the Sting Ray-influenced rear styling with four taillights, a horizontal-pattern grille up front minus the chrome "teeth" that had been a Corvette hallmark, a narrower transmission tunnel atop an aluminum-cased Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed (with an aluminum case for Powerglide on its way for '62), and an all-new aluminum crossflow radiator from GM's Harrison Radiator Division that appeared early in the model run. Also, formerly optional items such as windshield washers, sun shades, a parking-brake warning light, and a temperature-controlled radiator fan were now standard equipment. Meanwhile, 1961 was the last year for the 283 in its five carbureted and fuel-injected versions, as well as for the two-tone paint and wide whitewall tires-replaced, respectively, by the 327 (with one high-output carbureted and one fuelie variation optional), single-color paint, and 1-inch-wide whitewalls.

Circa 1600 B.C. the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the basis for some later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew aleph.
When the Ancient Greeks adopted the alphabet, they had no use for the glottal stop that the letter had denoted in Phoenician and other Semitic languages, so they used the sign for the vowel /a/, and kept its name with a minor change (alpha). In the earliest Greek inscriptions after the Greek Dark Ages, dating to the 8th century BC, the letter rests upon its side, but in the Greek alphabet of later times it generally resembles the modern capital letter, although many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of one leg, or by the angle at which the cross line is set.
The Etruscans brought the Greek alphabet to their civilization in the Italian Peninsula and left the letter unchanged. The Romans later adopted the Etruscan alphabet to write Latin, and the resulting letter was preserved in the modern Latin alphabet used to write many languages, including English.

Modern Roman A
Modern Italic A
Modern Script A
In English, the letter "A" by itself usually denotes the near-open front unrounded vowel (/æ/) as in pad, the open back unrounded vowel (/ɑː/) as in father, or, in concert with a later orthographic vowel, the diphthong /eɪ/ (though the pronunciation varies with the dialect) as in ace and major, due to effects of the great vowel shift.
In most other languages that use the Latin alphabet, the letter A denotes either an open back unrounded vowel (/ɑ/), or an open central unrounded vowel (/a/). In the IPA, variants of the letter A denote various vowels. In X-SAMPA, capital A denotes the open back unrounded vowel and lowercase a denotes the open front unrounded vowel.
A is the third-most common letter in English, and the second-most common in Spanish and French. On average, about 8.2% of letters in English tend to be As, while the number is 6.2% in Spanish and 4% in French.
In positional numeral systems with base higher than 10, A is the character used to represent decimal 10, or in binary, 1010
The ASCII code for capital A is 65 and for lowercase a is 97; or in binary 01000001 and 01100001, respectively.
The EBCDIC code for capital A is 193 and for lowercase a is 129.
The morse code for A is dit dah or a dot and a dash.
The numeric character references in HTML and XML are "A" and "a" for upper and lower case respectively.

The ways in which SLU doctors help their patients and make the world a better place are endless. Building hospitals for orphans in the Congo. Working to end disparities in medical care. Encouraging interfaith understanding. Bringing cookies to an elderly homebound patient. Testing life-saving drugs.
Each year, St. Louis Magazine recognizes the area's "Best Doctors" in a special issue. This year, SLUCare - the physician practice of Saint Louis University - had 157 doctors named to the list. SLUCare doctors balance treating patients, researching new treatments and training the next generation of physicians.
How do our busy doctors measure success? We asked this year's "Best Doctors" how they define excellence in the profession. We shared some of their thoughtful responses on the SLUHealth Facebook page this week. Their answers demonstrate compassion, dedication and selflessness, and we're proud that they're SLUCare doctors.
Listen to the reflections of six SLUCare "Best Doctors" and read many more below:
Eli Feen, M.D., neurology: "One of my inspiring medical school professors, Dr. Thomas Woodward, often quoted Dr. Francis Peabody's lecture to graduating medical students in 1925: 'The secret of caring for the patient is caring for the patient.'"
Miguel Paniagua, M.D., geriatrics: "My father said the day you feel comfortable practicing is the day you should quit, as complacency leads to mistakes. We should always be students of the art and science of medicine."
Salvador Cruz-Flores, M.D., neurology: "A great physician should be caring, compassionate and competent but he or she should also be available and affable. A physician should care more for the person who suffers an illness than for the disease a patient has."
Bradley Davitt, M.D., ophthalmology: "The best doctors are those who physicians choose to send their family members to."
Bishnu Devkota, M.D., internal medicine: "Compassion, integrity and humility are the ideal characteristics of a physician. Physicians should always listen to their patients' concerns, involve them in their shared decision making processes and treat their patients the same way as they would want their loved ones or themselves treated. Above all, empathy is the 'Holy Grail' of the profession and takes one to the highest road."
Donald Jacobs, M.D., vascular surgery: "How do you define excellence in the profession? Dedication and commitment to provide the most advanced care and the ability to effectively communicate in a compassionate way."
Terry Moore, M.D., rheumatology: "I would define excellence in the profession as being a physician who updates his knowledge daily and keeps abreast of all new findings, teaches medical students, residents, and fellows well, and is active in clinical, transitional, or basic research. A great doctor not only treats the whole patient medically, but is courteous and fully explains and answers a patient's questions."
John Eisenbeis, M.D., otolaryngology: "Always put the patient first. Think about how you would be feeling if you were the patient. What are your concerns as the patient and, as the doctor, believe and address every single one of those concerns. Worry about your patients. If you do, you won't stop trying to cure them until they are cured."
Julie Gammack, M.D., geriatrics: "A great physician puts the needs of the patient above his or her personal, financial, and professional aspirations....hears, not just listens to the patient, and fosters a caring and trusting therapeutic relationship."
Lisa Cannada, M.D., orthopaedic surgery: "My golden rule is 'always treat the patients as if they are your family members.' Make sure you are available to answer questions and that they understand the answers."
Ali Mehdirad, M.D., cardiology: "Be familiar with the latest literature, apply it to patient care, love what you do, respect, communicate, listen, respond to your patients' concerns and always remember that your patient is number one on your list."
Dulce Cruz Oliver, M.D., geriatrics: "A good doctor is a person who will accompany a patient on his or her journey both while suffering and while enjoying life."
Bruce Bacon, M.D., hepatology: "I think it is a privilege to be able to care for patients and to have their trust. Important attributes are to be caring and compassionate, to listen to your patient's needs, to answer their questions honestly, realizing that they are often afraid of what is going on, and to provide careful follow up communicating with patients in language and terms that they can understand."
Ghazala Hayat, M.D., neurology: "I value being such an integral part of the lives of my patients, having their trust, trying my best to cure or alleviate their ailments and furthering the progress of medicine through research and education."
David Karges, M.D., orthopaedic surgery: "A 'best doctor' is one who is removed of hubris, who avoids the comfort zone and who strives to continually educate patients, and self, about injury and disease."
Jeffrey Teckman, M.D., pediatrics: "When you respect the intellect, are comfortable with the manner, and sense the heart of compassion you know you've got a 'Best Doctor.'"
Anthony J. Scalzo, M.D., pediatrics: "We take a sacred oath upon becoming physicians and should never lose sight of what is really important, the health of individual patients, their physical, emotional and spiritual needs and those of their family and loved ones. If one's compass heading is set on doing your very best to heal all of these aspects of human health, then you will achieve best practice and always do what is right for the patient."
Dee Anna Glaser, M.D., dermatology: "I believe that you should treat your patients in the same way that you would want your own family treated. If you have done that, you have done the best you possibly could!"
Bill Sasser, M.D., cardiothoracic surgery: "Be prepared to give your best, always. Sometimes it is hard to be happy, but it is never acceptable to be rude. Let the patient know that you are human.Tell them stories about your life and family. Laugh every now and then."
David Thomas, M.D., geriatrics: "Although a label conferred by peers, being a 'Best Doctor' tends to rest in the back of one's mind as an incentive to rise to the level of expectations in the care of patients."
Caroline Rudnick, M.D., family medicine: "In the field of family medicine, a great physician is one who really listens to his or her patients and is thorough and diligent in their care."
Tim Rice, M.D., general internal medicine and pediatrics: "Great doctors are good communicators. They have the ability to listen to and understand their patient's concerns, and help them understand their condition. Great doctors care about their patients and people in need and are willing to help in anyway they can, whether the patient is sitting in their office or half a world away."SLUCare, the physician practice of Saint Louis University School of Medicine, is the only academic medical practice in St. Louis that is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care Inc. This accreditation is a voluntary process through which the quality of SLUCare services and performance is measured against nationally recognized standards.

Relief of Princess Khekeret-nebty
The column of hieroglyphs to the right of this depiction of Khekeret-nebty identifies her as "the king's daughter of his body, beloved of him." Her name is written above her head.

The carving lacks details and the surface was never polished, suggesting that the princess may have died before this relief was completed.

Pepper Shaker
The vegetable-shaped salt and pepper shakers and the curvilinear flask are splendid examples of the Aesthetic Movement style, which appeared strikingly new and modern to consumers at the time. The form of the shakers was inspired by realistic Japanese metal objects with which Americans were just becoming familiar, and their maker used a newly invented process to patinate the silver to resemble weathered copper. The irregular, ergonomic contour and dense Southwestern landscape of the flask would have also seemed quite daring to the original purchaser. In contrast, the all-over, hard-edged design of the later flask evokes the emerging, dynamic skyscraper skyline of big cities, and the unadorned, pyramidal forms of the later salt and pepper shakers have a timeless quality. While all of these objects were progressive when made, only the later ones still speak the language of modern design.
This text refers to these objects: ' 1990.10a-b; 1999.102.1; 1999.102.2; 1998.3.1; 1998.3.2; 82.70
