When the college friends get together, they soon discover how easy it is to reignite long-forgotten rivalries and romances, all while new discoveries are made and secrets are revealed. The Best Man Holiday is the comedy that critics are calling "a feel-good celebration." (James Verniere, Boston Herald)

SHU names Bobby V new AD
Bobby Valentine is the new athletics director at Sacred Heart University.
The university, located in Fairfield, confirmed the hiring of Valentine in a press release Friday morning. A press conference will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday in the University Commons.
One coach at the school, who requested anonymity, said they were not allowed to discuss the Valentine hiring until Tuesday.
The Connecticut Post first reported Thursday night that Valentine will replace Don Cook, who is retiring July 1, as the AD.
Valentine, a Stamford native, has managed the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox.
Jim Barquinero, the senior vice president for intercollegiate athletics and student affairs, spearheaded the search for Cook's replacement. Barquinero did not return a phone call or text message about Valentine being hired on Thursday night or Friday morning.
Reached by phone Thursday night, Valentine said, "An intriguing opportunity has been presented to me and it's something I really feel I can enjoy doing and I feel could be mutually beneficial."
Valentine reportedly visited the campus in mid-January and interviewed for the job at that time.
Neither Barquinero nor the school would confirm Valentine's interview, but several sources told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers that it did take place.
Valentine spent last season as the manager of the Red Sox.

Why you should add Ireland to your Indie/RTW tripWhile the economy and standards of living have changed throughout history, one thing remains the same: Ireland is a great place for travel.
- With its lush, green countryside, charming villages, historic castles, and action-packed cities, Ireland is a tiny island that offers a plethora of travel options.
- The people! There aren't many places on Earth that have friendlier people than Ireland. They welcome you with open arms.
- Once out of the major cities, driving the countryside of Ireland is as memorable an experience as you'll have.
- Dublin is as historic a city as you'll find in Europe, chock full of great sites, plenty of culture, and amazing local people.
Indie travel tips for Ireland
- Most people who visit Ireland make a point of visiting famous places like the Blarney Castle and the Cliffs of Moher. While these are certainly worth a look and a visit, it is the time you spend interacting with the Irish people that you will remember the most once you are back home.
- A quick stop at a local pub could lead to hours of interesting conversation and the acquisition of a lifetime's worth of knowledge.
- Ireland is no longer a super cheap travel option, especially if you spend the majority of your time in Dublin or Cork. If you break away from the tourist route and if you consider taking a trip during the less busy winter/spring months, you will save money, albeit probably not as much as you will find at the end of the rainbow.
- Rent a car and drive the countryside. Start with the Connemara region, a rugged and beautiful place to take a drive.
- Visit County Clare and see The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. Stay in Doolin for a night or two and spend time in a real Irish pub drinking Guinness and listening to Irish music.

(Reuters) - A federal data-sharing system meant to prevent healthcare providers banned from one state's Medicaid program from billing another state's program isn't working as intended, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General.
Two years after its creation, the data-sharing system contained no records from 17 states or the District of Columbia of doctors, nurses or other healthcare providers who had been "terminated," or banned from billing Medicaid, for fraud or other offenses, the independent auditor said in a report to be released Thursday.
Reuters reviewed a copy of the report in advance of its release.
The report also said that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that maintains the data-sharing system, made no effort to require states to report banned providers, though it is legally empowered to do so, and that when states did report them, the data was often unreliable or incomplete.
CMS started operating the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program State Information Sharing System in 2011, as required by the Affordable Care Act. State Medicaid administrators are encouraged to report to the database medical providers who have been convicted of major crimes, have lost their medical license or were otherwise disciplined. They can then use the system to identify providers in their own Medicaid program who were terminated in other states.
"Our findings suggest that CMS's process for sharing information on terminated providers needs improvement to make it more useful to State Medicaid agencies in identifying providers that must be terminated pursuant to Federal law," the report said.
The report did not provide any estimates of the number of providers banned in at least one state but still billing in another.
According to the inspector general's office, the data-sharing system did not contain a report of a banned provider from the following states as of June 2013: Colorado, Hawaii, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. There also were no reports from the District of Columbia.
A majority of these states are expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Some of these states may have reported providers who were terminated from Medicaid and then reinstated.
The auditors found a small number of banned provider reports from most states. Four states - California, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New York - accounted for 72 percent of all records submitted. Louisiana submitted only one terminated provider in 2011. Massachusetts submitted two. Virginia submitted nine.
In a January 17 letter to the inspector general's office responding to the auditor's findings, CMS administrator Marilyn Tavenner acknowledged that the agency can require states to report terminated providers to the system. In the letter, which was included in the auditor's report, Tavenner said CMS would explore options to implement mandatory state reporting. Tavenner did not provide a timeline.
The reported information was often not useful in helping other states identify banned providers.
More than half of the 6,439 records submitted did not include a National Provider Identification number, which is critical to any state trying to identify a terminated provider, according to the inspector general's office. The Affordable Care Act requires that the CMS data system track provider numbers, but the auditor found that CMS made the provider number optional in the submissions form. The inspector general's office also said some of the reported provider numbers were incorrect.
The auditor found that one-third of providers in the database had not been terminated, but had died, retired, left the state or stopped working with Medicaid of their own accord. One-fourth of the records lacked a provider address, and one-third lacked a provider specialty.
CMS has since begun requiring that states submit termination letters for each provider entered in the shared data system and that CMS employees review each letter to ensure the provider belongs in the system, Tavenner said in her letter.

Past research studies have indicated that air pollution causes inflammation in the lungs and blood vessels and may also cause endothelial cells to function poorly, both of which lead to decreased cardiovascular health. Past studies have also indicated that HEPA air filters can reduce air pollution from vehicle emissions in urban areas, but few have addressed the impact of HEPA filter technology on wood smoke used as a heat source. Exposure to wood smoke and its particulates has been linked to a number of health problems; in fact, we did a post a few months back on the link between soot and diabetes. Perhaps it comes as no surprise, then, that this type of air pollution has also been linked to cardiovascular disease. The good news is, Canadian scientists have discovered that HEPA air filters can help curb the risk of heart disease.
HEPA stands for high efficiency particulate air. Filters Fast carries many different types of air filters, to remove dirt, dust, pollen, bacteria, mold, and smoke from your indoor air, including furnace filters that use an electrostatic charge to capture the small particulates. HEPA replacement filters for many top-of-the-line air purifiers, including IQAir, BlueAir, Holmes and Honeywell can be found, simply by typing "HEPA" into our search box at the top of the page. Don't forget to change your vacuum cleaner filter as well. 3M Filtrete makes a variety of vacuum filters, bags and belts, which are available at a competitive price from FiltersFast.com. Since air pollution is linked to obesity, a high efficiency air purifier may also help you lose weight!

Don't let the "smash" in Smashburger fool you into thinking that you are getting some flattened out typical burger, the "smash" is actually the secret to one of the best burgers you will ever taste. The smashing is a method unlike any other and as soon as you take a bite you will want to start smashing all of your food.
Smashing a burger is exactly what it sounds like, a plump meatball shaped portion of 100% Certified Angus Beef® is smashed on the grill that is lightly covered with butter. Once it is on the grill your cook takes a smashing tool and presses the beef into a patty and this action caramelizes the beef, creating a sear that locks in the juices, which you can taste in every Smashburger.
This cooking method is actually only half of the reason that Smashburger creates such a mouthwatering burger. The other part of the secret is the high quality beef that it uses and then add to it that the meat is never frozen. Smashburger starts early every morning putting together a kitchen of all fresh ingredients. While a regular burger will certainly satisfy anyone, to not try one of the specialty Smashburgers would be cheating yourself. There are a few amazing Smashburgers that are carried by every restaurant, but what makes Smashburger unique to each area as that each city or state that is home to a Smashburger will carry burgers that have specific flavors to that regions.
If you live in Southern California, fittingly you will find the OC and the LA versions of this juicy burger. The OC version is so flavorful it just might make it past the California borders very soon. The OC Smashburger is topped with truffle mayo, garlic sautéed baby portabello mushrooms, baby arugula, grilled onions and aged Swiss cheese on an egg bun. After tasting this burger you will never again settle for a typical burger, as the flavors seem to fight each other to take control of your taste buds and luckily for you they all come through. Even better than the burgers is the price, this could easily sell in the 10 to 12 dollar range and yet the regular sized Smashburger is typically 4.99 and the larger version is 5.99.While the Smashburger is the focal point of the menu, you can also find chicken sandwiches, fried pickles, chili cheese fries, bean burgers and some of the best salads around. The spinach and goat cheese salad is just a plethora of flavors and combinations that makes this a meal all by itself. The goat cheese compliments the balsamic vinaigrette and then with each bite you will find raisins, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cucumbers, tomatoes that give you an extremely healthy and filling dinner, yet one that does not shortchange you on flavor. Smashburger proves that you can take the creativity from the kitchen and transfer it to the grill.
Where has Smashburger been all your life is what you will be asking yourself after taking your first bite. Well luckily for everyone founder Tom Ryan simply decided he wanted to make a restaurant with an amazing burger. Tom took all the knowledge he has obtained over the years not only from the Ph.D. in Flavor and Fragrance Chemistry, his Masters in Lipid Toxicology and his undergraduate degree in Food Science, all from Michigan State University, but also from his years in the food industry. Tom was behind some of the best ideas from McDonalds such as McGriddles, Big 'n Tasty, Dollar Menu, as well as the Stuffed Crust Pizza and Lovers™ line at Pizza Hut. Tom came up with a burger that surely will end the arguement of what is the best burger around, it has to be the Smashburger.

Further proof that nothing in government is simple. For example:
At some point in our youth, most of us probably learned the mnemonic (don't feel bad, I had to look it up too!) rhyme about how many days are in each month. One version goes like this:
Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, Except February alone… blah blah, blah!
You get the idea. But it was a good way to learn how many days are in each month.
Unless you work for the federal government. Then, all bets are off. Because…
Insight by Atlassian: Voice your opinion on the state of dev/sec/ops in government by taking Federal News Network's exclusive survey.
The thing is Uncle Sam never learned the 30-days-hath September ditty. So to him, every month is the same 30 days whether its June, January or February and a leap year.
That every-month-has-30-days rule is important when it comes to figuring your retirement benefit. And that is one thing that makes finding the best date for you to retire a little tricky.
Yesterday's Your Turn radio show featured Tammy Flanagan. She's the senior benefits director for the National Institute of Transition Planning. One of the many things she does is figure the best dates to retire throughout each year. Some are the same, sometimes they change. And to make the most of your retirement, once you are otherwise ready to go, you need to know the best date or dates. Then you make the call.
The fact that the government uses a 30-day retirement month, regardless of what month it is, figures into the best-date equation. OPM pays retirement benefits based on a 30-day month, so Flanagan says, "each month of retired pay equals 30.30 of your benefit amount." So if you retired next month on Feb. 28, which is a Friday, "you'd be credited with three additional days of service" meaning that February, to Uncle Sam and to your pension, would be a 30-day month.
There are different best dates for people retiring under the old CSRS program vs. those retiring under the FERS plan.
If you are retiring under the CSRS system, Flanagan said your best date is often the first, second or third day of the month.
Don't miss a beat feds! Download the newly revamped Federal News Network app for all the latest in federal news.
If you will be retiring under FERS, the best date is often the last calendar date of the month.
If you are planning to retire in December or January (both popular months), you need to be aware of the date of the end of the leave year. Because of the annual leave carryover limit.
Here's a link to Tammy's column on GovExec for more helpful tips.

Latest postal reform bill includes USPS-only health plan The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee debated an updated version of postal reform legislation Wednesday that would allow the cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service to restructure its health benefits program. Included in the revised postal reform bill from Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) is a proposal that would create a new postal-only health plan within the broader Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).
New Leadership at DHS cracks down on overtime abuse at CBP Union and CBP officials call for reform of outdated overtime pay system, saying the purpose of Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime was misinterpreted. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson signed a memo Monday directing agency leaders to suspend Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AOU) for employees whose duties do not meet the requirements. This includes some employees working in headquarters offices, training instructors and employees who have been collecting AUO pay inappropriately, according to internal investigators.
OPM offers agencies helping hand in perking up employee morale Fueled by budget cuts and pay freezes, federal employee satisfaction across government plunged last year, according to the Office of Personnel Management's annual Employee Viewpoint Survey.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indians are cutting down on discretionary purchases like apparel, electronics and automobiles as consumer optimism in the country is on a decline, according to an emerging markets consumer survey report by Credit Suisse.
High inflation and slower growth continues to worry Indian consumers with more people expecting lower salary increases, said the survey, which interviewed 2,602 respondents across 10 cities and rural areas in India.
This is in sharp contrast with other fast-growing economies like Indonesia, where the increase in minimum wages is likely to keep consumer sentiment robust, and in China, where sentiment remains strong on the back of purchases by consumers from lower income groups, the report released on Wednesday said.
"There are signs of down trading in discretionary items in India. Fewer people are buying smartphones and more now want to buy an entry-level car," said Arnab Mitra, research analyst with Credit Suisse.
"More and more consumers are postponing big-ticket purchases.. This situation will take more than a couple of quarters to improve," he said.
Last week, investors knocked down shares of India's largest consumer company Hindustan Unilever (HLL.NS) by 5 percent after the it reported weak volume growth as consumers cut purchases of products such as packaged foods and personal care items.
The report, however, said the long-term growth potential in India remained intact due to low product penetration in most categories.

Today marks the anniversary of the tragic and hideous execution of Margaret de la Pole, Countess of Salisbury, a sixty-seven year-old aristocrat born into the royal House of York and thus Henry VIII's relative on his mother's side, but who he sent to her execution in 1541. Born in 1473, Margaret was the daughter of Edward IV's younger brother, George, Duke of Clarence and his wife, Lady Isabella Neville, who was the elder sister of Richard III's wife, Queen Anne. Both of Margaret's parents may have died violent deaths, with her father being famously drowned in a barrel of malmsey wine by his brother's henchmen and her mother very possibly having been poisoned two years earlier. (Although, as with all stories of political poisoning at the time, it's best to treat the tale that Isabella was rushed to her death with a large, indeed frankly enormous, pinch of proverbial salt.)
The countdown to the elderly Margaret's execution had started at Easter, although she had actually been kept in the Tower for sometime, thanks to the inconvenient amount of royal blood running through her veins. At Easter, as rumours circulated that Henry's fifth queen, Catherine Howard, might be with child, news arrived in London that there had been another minor pro-papal rebellion in the north. One of the rebellion's leaders was a distant cousin of the Nevilles, Margaret's maternal family, and, when Henry discovered this, he flew into a vindictive rage. Despite the fact that Margaret had about as much to do with Henry's uprising as Jane Grey was to have with Wyatt's in 1554, Henry ordered the old woman's immediate execution, without the possibility of a trial or pardon.
Despite her Plantagenet ancestry, Margaret had always been a Tudor loyalist and she had been a favourite of Katherine of Aragon, which shows the extent of Margaret's ability to forgive since it was Katherine's parents who had insisted on the execution of Margaret's brother Edward in order to rid England of rival claimants to the throne before they sent their daughter there. In the early days of the reign, Margaret's loyalty had been so certain that no-one raised any objection when she was made the governess to Princess Mary. Although opposed to the Boleyn marriage on personal grounds, the countess's opposition to it had never been treasonous. It was only after her son, the devout Cardinal Reginald Pole, launched a blistering attack on the Great Divorce, safe in exile in Italy, that Margaret had fallen from favour and into suspicion.
Since Reginald's foolish proclamations, Margaret had been Henry's prisoner in the Tower for the last two years and her eldest son, Baron Montacute, had been executed on Henry's orders in 1539. Her other son, Geoffrey, had been forced to testify against his brother and later allegedly attempted to commit suicide rather than live with the guilt. Queen Catherine Howard pitied Margaret's fate and when she heard that the countess no longer had adequate clothing to protect herself, she was distressed. She summoned her personal tailor and ordered an entire new wardrobe for the prisoner, which was delivered to the Tower within days. Catherine's gifts to the old woman included a bonnet, a petticoat trimmed with fur, two nightgowns (one trimmed with fur and the other lined with satin), a warm kirtle, four pairs of shoes, four pairs of stockings and a pair of slippers.
The queen's generosity towards the countess alleviated the physical pain of her last few months, but it could not save her from the king's irrational wrath in the wake of the northern uprising. Early in the morning of
May 27th 1541, the Constable of the Tower woke Margaret out of her sleep and told her that she must die in a few hours. Naively, the countess replied in shock that no crime could be proven against her. She failed to realise that such things no longer mattered in England where Henry VIII was cutting scythes through the upper classes, whether rebellious or simply annoying, with rigged trials or, increasingly, by ignoring the rule of law entirely and simply employing the act of attainder.
When she was lead out to the scaffold a few hours later, a small crowd had gathered, mostly of political professionals and Tower staff. As with the execution of Anne Boleyn five years earlier, which took place on the same spot, the government were keen to limit the number of witnesses to what they knew would not be a very edifying spectacle. Undoubtedly that is why they took the unprecedented decision to execute the countess with no advance warning.
However, there the similarities between the deaths of Anne Boleyn and Margaret Pole come to an end. Where Anne's had been so slickly carried out that it seemed practically choreographed, Margaret's was anything but. The countess of Salisbury may have been fragile and sick, but she was not pathetic and she certainly had no intention of going quietly into the night. According to eyewitnesses, the old girl refused to put her head on the block and she had to be forced onto it. The novice executioner brought in to carry out the countess's last minute dispatch panicked and the execution was a hideous affair, with the axe swinging into Margaret's head, neck and shoulders for several minutes. After ten or eleven blows, she was dead and another imagined threat to Henry VIII's rule vanished. For many who see Henry as a flawed but strong monarch, his treatment of the countess of Salisbury is perhaps the greatest sign not of strength, but of weakness. And certainly of cruelty.
She was survived by three of her five children and in the reign of Henry VIII's daughter, Queen Mary, Reginald would be invited back from exile, becoming the last Roman Catholic Archbishop of
. Her daughter, Lady Ursula Stafford, lived into old age and her daughter Dorothy became a close friend of Queen Elizabeth I. In 1886, in recognition of her Catholic faith and unfair death, Margaret was beatified by Pope Leo XIII and became Blessed Margaret Pole. Her feast day is celebrated the day after her actual death, since the twenty-seventh of May, was the feast of Saint Augustine of Canterbury. Canterbury

Sorry Team Shakira fans. The 36-year-old Colombian pop superstar and two-time Grammy winner told Access Hollywood that she will not be returning as a coach for the next season of NBC's "The Voice." She said she will dedicate her time instead to her 4-month-old son, Milan Pique Mebarak.

Chinese basketball fans are nuts
Benjamin Hochman: I'm here at the Olympic Basketball Gymnasium and, I must admit, the Chinese basketball fans are growing on me. Today China is playing Spain, and the place is noisier than a Guns N' Roses cover band (which, actually, I had the privilege of hearing last night at a local bar. They also showed versatility by playing a Cranberries song).
In China's first game, against Team USA, the final three quarters were basically a blowout, and the fans, too, were taken out of the game.
But today, the fans are continuously raucous — Chi-na! Chi-na! Chi-na! They won't stop chanting. After every basket they cheer like it's Keith Smart or Mario Chalmers.
Even after free throws, they cheer. Like, loudly.
And they make an astonished "oooooh" noise if, heaven forbid, a free throw is missed.
Also, here's something we didn't hear in the US game – booing. It's merciless. Every time a Spanish player sets up the offense, boos fill the arena like Beijing smog. What did Jose Calderon ever do to these people?
In the end, China fans left disappointed, as Spain rallied in the second half to force overtime, then won the game.

The PAWS-IFAW Disaster Response Team headed out to Bohol on October 19, 2013 to conduct an assessment of the effects of the earthquake in the area and to check on the conditions of the animals. It was a gruelling 6-hour per day road trip to get from Tagbilaran, Bohol to Loon, Bohol, while conducting a visual headcount of the animals through the baranggays and towns that were affected along the way.
It was heart-wrenching to see homes turned into rubble and one can only imagine the magnitude it took to shake these concrete structures down. Many residents were living in tents put up in open field with signs asking for food and water. As in many rural areas, many of the dogs would be seen in the streets or tagging along behind their owners as they tried to go about their farming or line up for relief distribution in the town halls. Generally, the dogs were in good condition and valued as part of their families. For a few of the dogs and cats that the team encountered, they were still skittish and showed signs of nervousness – probably from the initial shock of the earthquake or having to continually feel the aftershocks on a daily basis.
The team, whose main objective was to conduct a rapid assessment, had only two days to cover all the areas. On Day 1, the team reached 5 towns – Catigbian, Sagbayan, Tubigon, Calape, and Loon. The team made a visual count of 241 dogs, 59 cattle, 13 pigs, 55 goats, 8 carabaos and 35 cats. They were able to feed some 70 dogs and 25 cats and distributed 72 bottled water to pet owners.
The team met Lucina and Albert who had two dogs and some pigs – amidst their house which was in ruins but they still greeted the team with smiles. They recalled to us how terrified they were when the earthquake struck and prayed that all family members were safe – including their pet dogs and pigs. We also met a man from Sagbayan, who had 16 cats. He was very happy to receive the food we could give his cats but then, he sadly turned to the rubble of what used to be his kitchen and dining area. When we asked about it, he said that one of the kittens didn't escape the wall that fell on it. He then turned to the cats that were now feeding and started to call all of them by name. He still managed to give us a smile and a wave of thank you as he saw us off.
On Day 2, the team was honoured to meet King and Duke, the brave Labradors of MMDA Canine Rescue Unit, with their handlers, Martin de Castro and Melvic Galagate, who helped in the search and retrieval of victims in Loon, Bohol. According to de Castro, they are very proud of King and Duke who performed exceptionally during operations by helping identify 69 victims in the mountain side.
Since the team had little time left on Day 2, only an approximation can be made of the towns along the way. In the towns of Antequerra, Maribojoc, and the other side of Loon, there were about 180 dogs, 30 cats, and 30 farm animals like cattle, goats, and carabaos.
In the next few weeks the PAWS-IFAW team will identify local groups in need of animal food to distribute throughout the disaster area.
The team left Bohol bringing with them the appreciation and gratitude of the Boholanos they met along the way with the sympathy and whatever little relief the team had brought with them. What will always be remembered by the team are the warmth, resilience, the positive-outlook, and the sincerity of the people of Bohol. They may have encountered such a devastating tragedy but definitely, the Boholanos will transcend this. As they say, "Bangon Bohol" (Rise Bohol).

NEW YORK (AP) Travis Nichols scored a game-high 15 points and St. Francis Brooklyn dominated both halves of a 70-51 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson Saturday in a Northeast Conference game.
The Terriers (8-9, 4-2), who led the entire way, took a 36-25 lead at halftime and outscored the Knights 34-26 after the break to win easily.
Fairleigh Dickson's defeat was largely due to a dreadful 3-point performance. The Knights (7-12, 2-4) missed all 16 of their attempts from long range. They went 0 for 12 in the second half. Ben Mockford, meanwhile, scored all 12 of his points for the Terriers on four 3-pointers.
St. Francis Brooklyn, which led by as many as 21 points in the second half, got a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double from Jalen Cannon. The Terriers also outrebounded Fairleigh Dickinson 47-33, 19-11 on the offensive boards.
Melquan Bolding led the Knights with 12 points. Sidney Sanders Jr. added 10.

We have recently seen the rapid development of why do I have a bump in my nose. People have always sought to improve or beautify their appearance.
The external beauty of the body and face has always been of great importance for a person. Today, this branch of aesthetic medicine has ceased to be a privilege of the powerful and has become available to almost everyone.
And very few people now will agree with the opinion that it is necessary to be content with that appearance which is by nature. Each of us wants to look better or younger.
It is no secret that a pleasant appearance promotes communication, and in many professions, it is even the key to success. You dont like your own nose?
One of the most complex and most popular sections of plastic surgery is why do I have a bump in my nose. With rhinoplasty, you can practically change your face, as the nose occupies the Central part of it.
1. Nose shape correction;
2. Сhange (increase or decrease) size;
3. To correct both congenital and acquired as a result of injury defects.
In addition to this, the correction of the appearance of the why do I have a bump in my nose can be supplemented by the work of an otolaryngologist, which leads to improvement or restoration of breathing:
– alignment of the curvature of the septum in the nose;
– elimination of hypertrophy of the nasal shells;
– removal of polyps.
The work of the surgeon in the correction of nose defects requires precision jewelry. The skin (or mucous membrane) is separated from the bones and cartilage, after which comes the most crucial moment – changing the shape of the bones with a special tool.
In complex cases, most often after injury, may require re-operation why do I have a bump in my nose.
A person can return to his usual life in half a month, but the final result is estimated not earlier than in 6 months.

How to Watch the Oscar-Nominated Documentaries
All the Oscar-nominated documentaries are easily accessible. Here's a look.
Back in prehistoric days, it was next to impossible to see all of the Oscar-nominated documentaries. If they even came to a theater near your cave, the documentaries would only play a short run and then disappear. In a sign of how much movie distribution has changed, all five of the nominated films are available this week with a click of the remote. Four of the five Oscar-nominated documentary films are available on Netflix's $7.99-a-month streaming service. The fifth, "20 Feet From Stardom," is available for rental on Amazon instant video for $3.99. That means for about $12, or less than a price of a movie ticket in many cities, you can watch five Oscar-worthy docs.
After the jump, read the Academy's synopsis of each film and a snippet from Joe Morgenstern's review.

PORTSMOUTH — A local woman wanted for questioning in connection with a fatal heroin overdose last month was ordered held on $5,000 cash-only bail Wednesday during her arraignment on a felony-level heroin possession charge.
Jennifer Landry, 42, of 309 Oriental Gardens, was previously wanted by police for possessing the drug on Friday, Nov. 23.
A Nov. 28 press release issued by Portsmouth police stated Landry was wanted for possession of a controlled drug in addition to questioning regarding the death of a local woman earlier in November.
Landry was later in Portland, Maine, only hours after the press release was issued.
Landry was sought by police for questioning in the case of a 22-year-old Portsmouth woman who died on Nov. 20 from what police believe was a fatal heroin overdose. Detectives are currently looking for the source of the drug and stated Landry could possibly have information relative to their investigation.
"We are committed to finding the person or persons who provided heroin to the young woman who overdosed and to ensuring that they are held responsible for selling her the drugs that we believe may have resulted in her death," Deputy Chief Corey MacDonald said in the Nov. 28 press release.
Under New Hampshire RSA 318-B: 26 IX, "Any person who manufactures, sells or dispenses methamphetamine, lysergic acid (LSD), PCP, or any other controlled drug classified in schedule I, II, or any controlled drug analog there of, in violation of RSA 318-B: 2, is strictly liable for a death which results from the injection, inhalation or ingestion of that substance and may be sentenced to imprisonment for life or for such term as the court may order."
Judge Sawako Gardner issued the $5,000 cash-only bail order Wednesday during Landry's video arraignment from the county jail. She is scheduled to appear in court next for a probable cause hearing on Dec. 17.
Anyone with information regarding the circumstances surrounding the Nov. 20 overdose are asked to call Detective Rochelle Jones at 610-7503, or Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous. Individuals can also leave an anonymous tip by logging on towww.seacoastcrimestoppers.org or send an SMS text to CRIMES (274637) and include TIPSCS in your message. You could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your information leads to an arrest and indictment.

Another skull drawing for the books and this time I incorporated two very cool objects together. I wanted to somehow draw a cool looking skull on top of a nice stubby iron cross. So what I did was sketch out a small skull design and placed it in the middle of a simple looking iron cross. I think the drawing came out cool, and as I sketched even more the ideas starting rolling in. To make the skull look even cooler, I colored it in a fiery reddish orange color and gave some awesome looking flames coming out of the eyes. I left out the bottom jaw and only made this skull head something simple. I mean if you think about it, when you want to learn "how to draw a skull head", it can sometimes be pretty hard to accomplish. So with that said I will show you "how to draw an iron skull cross step by step. I know you will find this lesson fun to do because everyone loves to draw skulls. I shall return in a bit, of course you already know that don't you. Peace out and have a happy drawing day.

The autobiography of Conrad Phillips
'Aiming True' is the autobiography of Conrad Phillips, star of the long-running television series 'William Tell', who played many roles in theatre, film and television over a span of more than 40 years.
As might be expected, the book gives us anecdotes about other actors and actresses – hilarious snippets which allow us to peek into the lives of other celebrities – but it is much, much more than that. Conrad's life encompasses experiences far removed from the world of acting – a childhood of poverty, a youth in which he saw wartime action in the Royal Navy, a divorce in which he left behind all his hard-earned wealth in order to regain his freedom, and a fresh start which he embraced with such certainty that he married his new wife only 10 weeks after they first met.
Conrad has known ups and downs like few others have in their life, and he recounts his own actions and feelings with a candour and modesty that make him at once both admirable and likeable. Humour lurks always behind the gritty realism with which hardships and heartache are described, and the upbeat ending justifies the unbroken thread of optimism.
Buy in confidence – full 'No Quibble' refund if not satisfied.
Over the years, Conrad has rubbed shoulders with some of the great names of the small and big screens including Frankie Howerd, Sid James, Spike Milligan, Sir Lawrence Olivier, Jennifer Jayne (his co-star from William Tell), Michael Caine, Nigel Green, Wendy Richards, Bill Franklyn, Wilfred Bramble, Donald Pleasence, Diana Fairfax and Frank Thornton to name but just a few.
Aiming True is a heart-warming and highly entertaining account of one man's successful struggle to remain both cheerful and true to himself in the face of extreme adversity.
Conrad Phillips was born in London on 13th April, 1925.
The book contains 48 photos and a complete filmography of Conrad Phillips.

What you say
Conrad Phillips reveals much about his eventful and interesting life in this autobiography, it is a delightful read especially so as Conrad "tells all " in a warm, considerate and revealing way unlike so many biographies.

Yves Klein – Anthropometry Performance (1960)
May 15, 2009
About Yves Klein
Yves Klein (28 April 1928 – 6 June 1962) was a French artist. Klein was born in Nice. Both his parents were painters. He lived in Japan for a time, becoming an expert in judo, before settling in Paris and beginning to exhibit his work there. Many of these early paintings were monochrome and in a variety of colours. By the late 1950s, Klein's monochrome works were almost exclusively in a deep blue hue which he eventually patented as International Klein Blue (IKB). As well as conventionally made paintings, in a number of works Klein had naked female models covered in blue paint dragged across or laid upon canvases to make the image, using the models as brushes. Sometimes the creation of these paintings was turned into a kind of performance art – an event in 1960, for example, had an audience dressed in formal evening wear watching the models go about their task while an instrumental ensemble played Klein's The Monotone Symphony, which consisted of a single sustained note. Klein also made sculptures in deep blue, and worked with fire, creating some sculptures using it, and setting fire to some of his canvases, thus making scorched holes in them. Klein is also well known for a photograph, Saut dans le Vide (Leap into the Void), which apparently shows him jumping off a wall, arms outstretched, towards the pavement. Klein is considered an important figure in post-war European neo-dadaism. He engaged in such provocations as "publishing" a chapbook containing only empty pages and selling empty spaces in exchange for gold which he then threw into the river Seine. Klein died in Paris of a heart attack.
Saut Dans Le Vide
The Monotone Symphony (1949, rec. March 9, 1960)
On a clear night in March at ten pm sharp a crowd of one hundred people, all dressed in black tie attire, came to the Galerie International d'Art Contemporain in Paris. The event was the first conceptual piece to be shown at this gallery by their new artist Mr. Yves Klein. The gallery was one of the finest in Paris.
Mr. Klein in a black dinner jacket proceeded to conduct a ten piece orchestra in his personal composition of The Monotone Symphony, which he had written in 1949. This symphony consisted of one note.
Three models appeared, all with very beautiful naked bodies. They were then conducted as was the full orchestra by Mr. Klein. The music began. The models then rolled themselves in the blue paint that had been placed on giant pieces of artist paper – the paper had been carefully placed on one side of the galleries' wall and floor area – opposite the full orchestra. Everything was composed so breathtakingly beautifully. The spectacle was surely a metaphysical and spiritual event for all. This went on for twenty minutes. When the symphony stopped it was followed by a strict twenty minutes of silence, in which everyone in the room willingly froze themselves in their own private meditation space.
At the end of Yves' piece everyone in the audience was fully aware they had been in the presence of a genius at work, the piece was a huge success! Mr. Klein triumphed. It would be his greatest moment in art history, a total success. The spectacle had unquestionable poetic beauty, and Mr. Kleins' last words that night were, "THE MYTH IS IN ART".

The phrase "body of art" aptly describes Yves Klein's "Anthropometrie" series. Klein (1928 – 1962) employed female models as "living paintbrushes" for the paintings, which were named after the study of human body measurements. Clad only in the artist's patented International Klein Blue paint, the models made imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper. Klein often staged the creation of these works as elaborate spectacles for an audience, who imbibed blue cocktails and listened to a performance of his "Monotone Symphony," a solitary note played for 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of silence. The prints are on the boundary between the figurative and the abstract, but instead of a dramatic expression of experiences they are simply expressive prints of bodies.

Here's what was included in August box:
- Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer, Private Dancer- I'm a nail polish junkie so I was happy to receive this. I have never tried Deborah Lippmann polish mainly because of the price. I'm expecting this stuff to be pretty good at $18.00 a bottle. I wish it was in another color, only because I have so much purple polish, but the color is pretty. This sample was FULL SIZED and valued at $18.00.
- Elemental Herbology Facial Detox - Purifying Facial Mask- I love facial masks but I have to be careful because I have somewhat sensitive skin and masks have irritated my face in the past. This stuff smells really refreshing so I'm hoping it doesn't irritate my face. The sample value for this one is $9.20.
- Jane Iredale Longest Lash Mascara, Black Ice Deluxe Sample- I was excited to get a mascara sample! I have never tried this brand before so I am anxious to give it a try. The sample value for this one is $7.85.
- Phyto Phytonectar Oil Deluxe Sample- I'm kind of buried in hair oils right now so I am on the fence about this one. I will still try it out it just might take me a while to get around to it. Sample value for this one is $3.96.
- Arcona Cranberry Toner Deluxe Sample- I'm excited for this one because I love trying new toners but I'm hoping it's not too smelly, we all know how I feel about "smelly face". Sample value for this one is $8.60.
- Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturizer- I don't mind getting moisturizer samples even though I have a billion of them but I'm not crazy about the foil packet. It's hard to save the packet for more than one use once you open it. Sample value is $0.45.
Like I said above, please bear with me as I move through this rough patch at work and I promise when it is all over I will blog more regularly.
In the meantime, check out our giveaway!
The Sample Society box was purchased by me with my own money. I am not affiliated with Beauty Bar or any of the brands listed above. I am not being paid for my reviews and all opinions are my own personal opinions.

It's perfectly natural to want to jump at the first job offer that comes along. But at the same time, there's no point in taking a job that won't pay the bills. That wastes everybody's time and can lead to frustration as well as financial problems for you down the road.
One of the most common questions Monster members post on the Salary and Negotiation Tips message board is "What should I say when asked to define salary requirements?"
Establishing a realistic salary range that reflects your actual income requirements is important. Once you've done that, the whole process of finding a job becomes much easier, because you know how low you can go and can eliminate prospective jobs that fall outside your range.
Develop a Budget
You need to do some research to come up with your realistic salary range. Take a hard look at your living expenses. Which are fixed? Which are variable? Which are discretionary?
Whip out the checkbook and start adding up fixed expenses, such as a mortgage payment, rent payment or car payment -- the predictable, ongoing expenses. Add in the variables, like a 12-month average of electric bills, telephone bills, heating bills and grocery bills. Finally, do a monthly average of discretionary expenses, things like entertainment, travel, gifts and credit card purchases. Add all that up, and you should have a fairly accurate picture of what it costs each month to maintain your current standard of living. This is the amount of take-home money you must earn to at least maintain your financial status quo. While that number may not represent the salary level you want, it will tell you the amount of income below which you cannot go without making some budget cuts.
Trim the Fat
Depending on your personal financial situation, you might want to consider reducing some of your discretionary expenses, especially if you've been out of work for an extended period of time.
Set Realistic Salary Expectations
Many people seem to get caught up in the "they're not offering what I'm worth" syndrome. Realize that what you may think you're worth really doesn't matter as much as what the prospective employer thinks the job is worth.
Determine Your Range
Once you've determined your salary requirements to keep body and soul together, make that the bottom of your salary range, and add $10,000 to that number to establish the top of your range. Some argue that you should add $20,000 to establish the top of your range, but where you put that top amount depends on how willing and able you are to negotiate once an offer is made.
Now, if you're asked to provide salary information as part of the application process, you can do it without worrying about pricing yourself out of the market or grabbing a job that won't pay the bills.

I'd start by asking the following questions . . .
What is the business context? What are current business issues driving the need? Tie TLC to the specific business objectives. For example if the company is losing ground, point out that a leadership culture is more innovative. A study of the Financial Times 1000 found the #1 factor in determining innovation (defined by revenue of new product in last three years) is management trust, "I feel trusted more."
What are the expectations? What results are you looking for? Set goals and measurements, establish success factors. What will success look like when we have implemented TLC? If, for example, your organization is concerned about succession planning (by the year 2015 the present ranks of management will be thinned by one third, simply by retirement) then establish success factors based on the expectation that you will be developing leaders to replace those that are leaving.
What is happening in their business world that's affecting their role as leaders? Only 2.4% of the top three levels of executives spend their time thinking about the future. Probe for areas where future thinking could positively impact the business.
