(CBS News) CBS News legend Mike Wallace, the "60 Minutes" pit-bull reporter whose probing, brazen style made his name synonymous with the tough interview - a style he practically invented for television more than half a century ago - died Saturday night. He was 93 and passed peacefully surrounded by family members at Waveny Care Center in New Canaan, Conn., where he spent the past few years. He also had a home in Manhattan.
"It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Mike Wallace. His extraordinary contribution as a broadcaster is immeasurable and he has been a force within the television industry throughout its existence. His loss will be felt by all of us at CBS," said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO, CBS Corporation.
"All of us at CBS News and particularly at '60 Minutes' owe so much to Mike. Without him and his iconic style, there probably wouldn't be a '60 Minutes.' There simply hasn't been another broadcast journalist with that much talent. It almost didn't matter what stories he was covering, you just wanted to hear what he would ask next. Around CBS he was the same infectious, funny and ferocious person as he was on TV. We loved him and we will miss him very much," said Jeff Fager, chairman CBS News and executive producer of "60 Minutes."

The Other Mike Wallace: Philanthropist and Male Nurse
A special program dedicated to Wallace will be broadcast on "60 Minutes" next Sunday, April 15.
Wallace was as famous as the leaders, newsmakers and celebrities who suffered his blistering interrogations, winning awards and a reputation for digging out the hidden truth on Sunday nights in front of an audience that approached 40 million at the broadcast's peak.
Wallace played a huge role in "60 Minutes"' rise to the top of the ratings to become the number-one program of all time, with an unprecedented 23 seasons on the Nielsen annual top 10 list - five as the number-one program.
Besides his 21 Emmy Awards, Wallace was the recipient of five DuPont-Columbia journalism and five Peabody Awards, and was the Paul White Award winner in 1991, the highest honor given by the Radio and Television News Directors Association. He won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award grand prize and television first prize in 1996. In June of 1991, he was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.
He announced he would step down to become a "correspondent emeritus" in the spring of 2006, but Wallace continued to land big interviews for "60 Minutes." His last appearance on television, on January 6, 2008, was a sit-down on "60 Minutes" with accused steroid user Roger Clemens that made front-page news. His August 2006 interview of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won him his 21st Emmy at the age of 89. He was also granted the first post-prison interview with assisted suicide advocate and convicted killer Dr. Jack Kevorkian for a June 2007 "60 Minutes" broadcast. After a successful triple bypass operation in late January 2008, he retired from public life.
Decades before his "60 Minutes" success, Wallace was already known to millions. In the early days of broadcasting, with no line between news and entertainment, Wallace did both. In the 1940s and '50s, he appeared on a variety of radio and television programs, first as narrator/announcer, then as a reporter, actor and program host.
On his first network television news program, ABC's "The Mike Wallace Interview," he perfected his interviewing style that he first tried on a local New York television guest show called "Night Beat." Created with producer Ted Yates, "Night Beat" became an instant hit that New Yorkers began referring to as "brow beat." Wallace's relentless questioning of his subjects proved to be a compelling alternative to the polite chit-chat practiced by early television hosts.
Years later, CBS News producer Don Hewitt remembered that hard-charging style when creating his pioneering news magazine, "60 Minutes"; he picked Wallace to be a counterweight to the avuncular Harry Reasoner. On September 24, 1968, Wallace and Reasoner introduced "60 Minutes" to the 10:00 p.m. timeslot, where it ran every other Tuesday. It failed to draw large audiences. But critics praised it, awards followed, and after seven years on various nights, "60 Minutes" went to 7:00 p.m. Sunday and began its rise.
It made the top 20 in 1977 and the top 10 in 1978, then became the number-one program in 1980 - all with a tough-talking Wallace center stage.
The rising interest in Wallace and "60 Minutes" grew partly out of the Watergate scandal. Wallace's interrogations of John Erlichman, G. Gordon Liddy and H.R. Haldeman whetted the appetites of news junkies who continued to tune in to see Wallace joust with other scoundrels. Before long, he was a household name. In 1983, Coors beer took ads out in major newspapers after Wallace's "60 Minutes" investigation found little truth to rumors the company was racist. "The Four Most Dreaded Words in the English Language: Mike Wallace is Here," ran atop ads boasting that the firm had passed muster with the "grand inquisitor" himself.

CARREO by Rolando S. Luzong
Peoples Tonight (November 29, 2009)
Bakbakan 2009 : The Die is Cast
After 55 provincial elimination events that started in October 10 adding up to a record-breaking 2,413 entries and 18 separate regional semis contests held all over the country, the die is cast with the roster of grand finalists that will compete for the championship on Thursday, December 3.
Only the undefeated entries, those that after 6 matches (3 in the elims & 3 in the semis) have won all their matches or won five and drew one.
These grand finals event at the historic Big Dome will finally decide who will rule this year's Bakbakan – now regarded as the biggest cockfighting event worldwide.
There's a total of 53 championship hopefuls that will try to wrestle the crown from defending 2008 Bakbakan champions John Daguio of the United Ilocandia Gamefowl Breeders Association and Jun Pe of the Zamboanga Gamefowl Breeders Association, who both scored 10-0 win-loss cards last year to share the Bakbakan 2008 title.
The 20 5.5-pointers include the following entries : GRND HB STAR (R.Daigo & Dr. Ronnie Magbalon – RGBA) ; JM/Jeth RSJ (Teodulo Martinez – RGBA); Keyang 2 (Mel Lim); GSB Eve Farm (Mayor Raspado – Isabela); Amo Na Ni (Ramon Mansenares); GAE Bagwis (Engr Neo Andal – BBC); Kingfisher (E.Tagle/Gen. Marino Filart); Iron Eagle (Boy Ledesma/Engr Posadas); Hero 2 and Hero 3 (Joseph Pua); Sinbad OTBT Mag Iriga City (BIGBA President Bong Gazmen); Matador (Aldo Dagoc); Bacolor Cockpit Fantastik (Jun Yap); BDC Flybird (Bryan Dela Cruz – UNIGBA); Goldvives & DVH (Danilo Hinlo/Mario Golingan); Mariza GCT (Dennis Luzuriaga); Puerto Princesa (Rolly/Paeng Banzuela – Palawan); MTB RS Organic 3 LDA (Benyong Lastimado – CVBA); Hoosier Cut 1 (Troy Bustalino – CVBA) and EDL 3 (Mayor Ed Lumayag – SGBA).
The 33 6-pointers include Thunderbird endorsers Honey Yu (Honey 111) and newspaper executive Rey Briones (Spartans Catmon 88) of
Everyone set to watch the hostilities at the Araneta Coliseum on December 1 & 3 should drop by the NFGB Lounge that had been set up on the right side upon entering the Bgi Dome the Red Gate.
Officers of the NFGB, including the Presidents of all the associations affiliated with the NFGB will be on hand to answer queries of all those planning to fight in the Bakbakan next year.
Among the NFGB personalities set to grace the event are Sonny Lagon, Ricoy Palmares, Pol Estrellado, Jesry Palmares, Rey Briones, Pao Malvar, Fred Katigbak, Joey Sy, Arnel Añonuevo, Freddie Yulo, Al Garcia, Dr. Gil Sanding, Nitoy Nasser, Victor Sierra, Baba Yap, Vice Gov.

"Fastest Win" vs. "Fastest Kill"
I am watching the San Juan Coliseum Fights at the Solar Sports channel while writing this column and I had to stop as I counted how many times the word "kill" was mentioned when announcements about the fastest kill prizes for the ongoing Rambulan was being announce.
Like what I have written so many times, it should not be "FASTEST KILL", because the right term should be "FASTEST WIN".
Not only that "FASTEST WIN" is kinder to hear, but because "FASTEST WIN" is the appropriate term.
In cockfighting rules, a rooster will be declared the winner if he is able to peck his opponent twice and the opponent not bale to peck back after being give three chances to do so.
There are so many occasions when a winner was able to peck twice, but died after that. And there are also roosters that loses the fight after not being able to retaliate, but are still alive.
When "FASTEST KILL" is being mentioned so many times in succession, it already sounds like kill, kill, kill.

DURHAM � Pre-game, mid-game and post-game, down in the dungeon that doubles as the visiting locker room at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Matt Matheny�s message to his Elon University basketball team stayed largely unchanged.
The talking points at each turn Thursday night touched on belief and opportunity and meeting a test of the highest order.
And so after Elon combined minimal stage fright with optimal signs of competiveness in its 76-54 loss to top-ranked Duke, the coach arrived at a momentary conclusion that the Phoenix hopes to develop into a lasting reality.
�What I told them after the game is we have a chance to be special,� he said. �We were challenged on every possession. And we answered the bell on a lot of those possessions.
�That�s a great feeling, because we haven�t had that in the growth of our program. Here we are on the road against No. 1, talking about, �Let�s win this game,� and our guys are believing that. And we believed it because it was true. It was true that we can compete at this level.�
On the same court where Duke (11-0) has destroyed other mid-to-low-major opponents Delaware and Cornell this month, the Blue Devils eventually delivered enough in the second half to dispatch Elon (6-5) � and secure their 100th consecutive victory at home against a non-league opponent, a streak that�s two months shy of 13 years old.
Duke played its second game in as many nights here � coach Mike Krzyzewski described his team as �mentally tired� � and shook off some uncharacteristic erratic stretches when its long-range shots finally connected.
Tyler Thornton�s back-to-back 3-pointers with about 12 minutes remaining started a nine-minute span during which the Blue Devils hit seven straight buckets from beyond the arc and steadily increased their lead from eight points to a comfortable 23-point margin.
�They played like the No. 1 team in the country the second half,� Elon guard Austin Hamilton said. �It�s hard to bounce back when a team that good gets it going.�
Duke�s Mason Plumlee, again a load inside, supplied 21 points and 15 rebounds. His physical work underneath contributed to early foul trouble for Elon�s frontline of Lucas Troutman and Ryley Beaumont.
Troutman, who entered as Elon�s second-rated scorer, top rebounder and leader in blocked shots and steals, picked up his second foul less than seven minutes into the game and thus planted himself on the Phoenix bench for all except six first-half minutes.
Beaumont picked up his second foul later in the first half, requiring reserve forwards Tony Sabato and Ryan Winters to log uncommonly extended minutes.
But that difficult situation � Troutman and Beaumont parked on the sideline, a combined two points between them at that juncture � instead became part of the encouraging stuff for Elon, which performed far from perfectly, yet still operated in an undaunted manner.
�We weren�t scared,� said swingman Sebastian Koch, who paced Elon with 14 points and nine rebounds.
Koch�s three 3s in the game�s first 13 minutes and timely 11 points in the first half helped keep the Phoenix relevant, despite its 35.7-percent shooting from the field � and one of the Cameron Crazies continually screaming �Elon, you�re irrelevant!�
Koch buried back-to-back 3s separated by 53 seconds and Elon led 21-20 as the first-half clock ticked under seven minutes. Then Winters converted off a series of fakes and the score was 25-25 until less than four minutes were left before halftime.
�I thought we played with a lot of confidence,� Hamilton said. �We wanted to attack them. That was the mindset going in, just to attack and not play tentative.�
Duke gained a boost of momentum heading into halftime.
Trailing 32-27, Elon took possession with 28.2 seconds remaining and the shot clock turned off. But Matheny said Hamilton�s driving miss probably was attempted too early. About six seconds were showing.
Ryan Kelly rebounded and Quinn Cook raced toward the other end, banking in a 30-foot, buzzer-beating runner from the �Coach K Court� logo, the floor space just in front of the Elon bench.
�I wish I would�ve put my hand up to contest it,� Matheny said, smiling. �Seems like they always make the halftime buzzer shot.�
Kelly struggled to 14 points on 4-for-13 shooting from the field. Cook also shot 4-for-13 while providing 10 points, eight rebounds, four steals and three steals. Rasheed Sulaimon added 13 points for the Blue Devils, including eight in the second half.
After his scoreless first half, Troutman finished with 13 points, 11 of them during the final 10 minutes. Elon�s Jack Isenbarger, who pumped in 21 points here as a freshman two years ago against another No. 1-ranked Duke team, chipped in 12 points.
A couple of ineffective stretches emerged as glaring for the Phoenix.
After tying the score at 25-25, Elon managed just two points during the last 5� minutes of the first half. The bogged-down offense continued in the opening 10 minutes of the second half, as Elon produced three field goals and scored eight points to fall behind by 17.
�We were faced with a daunting task, which was exactly what we wanted when we were fortunate enough to schedule the game,� Matheny said. �And I felt like we competed for 40 minutes. But in order to compete at this level on a consistent basis, we have to learn that every possession matters.�
-- TIP-INS �: Duke�s last non-conference loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium occurred on Feb. 26, 2000. That ended in an 83-82 setback against St. John�s. � The Blue Devils missed their first six 3s of the second half Thursday night before nailing their next seven in a row. All told, Kelly, Cook and Seth Curry shot a combined 11-for-36 from the field. � Beaumont, who had seven points and five rebounds, was charged with six of Elon�s 17 turnovers. Hamilton�s 2-for-10 shooting from the field didn�t help Elon, either. � Despite the extra minutes needed from its reserves, Elon received only four points from its bench. � Senior forward Roger Dugas, working back from a team-imposed suspension and balky knee issue, made his season debut for the Phoenix. He played three minutes. � Elon reserve forward Egheosa Edomwonyi missed his second game in a row due to a shoulder problem. � Koch, a junior, said he felt a more experienced vibe from the Phoenix in comparison to two Decembers ago, when it lost 98-72 at Duke. �That was the time where we were like, �Oh man, we�re in Cameron Indoor,� � Koch said. �But this time we weren�t scared at all.� � Marshall Plumlee didn�t suit up for Duke. The redshirt freshman forward made his short-lived college debut Wednesday night against Cornell, then exited after two minutes of playing time due to foot discomfort. He missed the season�s first nine games while recovering from a stress fracture in his left foot. � Duke now enters a break from games until Dec. 29, when Santa Clara visits. �I am anxious for them to get home, away from it, and then come back refreshed ready to charge on,� Krzyzewski said. � Elon must navigate a short turnaround with Saturday�s game at Columbia coming next. The Phoenix flies to New York City today.

Production of the Silver Nevada
Miner Bars was discontinued in 2009
due to extreme volatility in silver
prices. Silver prices have now
stabilized at much lower levels.
The Silver Nevada Miner bar was
created to commemorate the long and
eventful silver mining history of
Nevada and is an excellent souvenir
of Nevada, which is known as the
"Silver State." The bars are 2 3/8
inches by 1 3/8 inches and Ľ inch
thick. Each contains exactly 5-troy
ounces of pure silver. The bars are
"proof quality" and include a
year-stamp authenticating the
limited edition.
The top surface of the bar is
engraved with an authentic
reproduction of a miner in one of
the famous "square-set stopes" of
the Comstock Silver Mines at
Virginia City, Nevada, in the
mid-1860's. The bars are beautifully
crafted making them an excellent
gift item.

While very hungry, the webworm caterpillar won't harm your trees
It's the fall webworm that's eating your trees from the comfort and security of webby nests.
The greenish larvae's appetite is huge and undiscriminating, extending to 636 different species of trees. Redbuds, walnut, hickory, fruit trees and some maples are favorites of these fuzzy worms.
Late summer through early fall, when the larvae are most active, is prime time to spot webworms chowing down.
The webs they spin over foliage give them netted protection against predators as they feed.
As the larvae grow, they finish off entire leaves, leaving only skeletons. Eventually, they enshroud whole branches in a loosely spun tent of silk.
Feeding continues through mid-September, when full-grown larvae wander from their host plant in search of protected pupation sites.
Disturb the larvae and they may twitch and wave their bodies synchronously to ward off predation.
Devastating as their occupation looks, there's no need for any but aesthetic concern. Webworms chew on tree leaves late in the season when leaves have done their work and are soon to fall. They don't eat tree bark or branches, so they rarely cause any extensive damage.
Don't confuse fall webworms with bag worms, tent caterpillars or gypsy moths. Bag worms are big now, and they can kill a tree, but each worm is a single individual. Tent caterpillars are active in early spring. More dangerous gypsy moths, which can defoliate a tree, appear in late spring to early summer. Fall webworms attack in late summer or early fall.
The easiest and most environmentally safe way to get rid of the worms from your trees is to remove the nest. Cut out infested branches or use a garden rake or a strong stream of water from a hose to knock the nest out of a tree.
Then let Mother Nature do her work. Once the webworms are freed from their nests, birds and stinkbugs devour them.
What's next for webworms? a reader called to ask.
The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea of the family Arctiidae, lives in larval stages in nests for four to six weeks. Next it pupates in a thin, dark-brown, silk coccon overwoven with bits of detritus. This stage overwinters in the bark and leaf litter at the base of trees. Eventually the moth emerges, hairy with orange and bright yellow patches on the front legs and a wingspan of about an inch and a half.
How can you get rid of these pests. This year they destroyed my hundred year old Butternut tree. It is usually a gorgeous tree but looks awful this year. This is the worst invasion ever. Help.

Meredith G.Saw Dr. Khosh for a fractured nose. He reset my nose beautifully (and with little discomfort to me) and then discussed some of my sinus issues with me upon my follow up visit. Never felt like he was rushing me out and felt very confident in his abilities. I would highly recommend to anyone needing plastic or reconstructive options!
Jackie C.Great front office, really good experience after what was a terrible accident. I was made to feel comfortable. Dr. Khosh is very good at what he does. I'm still healing but I'm confident of the results
Kaitlin M.Dr. Khosh takes exceptional care of his patients. He has operated on me twice, each time making me feel extremely comfortable and satisfied with the results. His staff is also very kind and knowledgeable.
Diana G.Dr. Khosh & his staff Susan & Christine are absolutely amazing! They were so supportive & helpful from beginning to end & they are just wonderful people. Thank you guys I truly appreciate everything you guys have done for me. I would recommend them to anyone & everyone!
Joann M.After visiting and being evaluated by several doctors, I kept going back to Dr. Khosh. His tranquil spirit and professionalism were captivating. Thank you for a job well done and keeping me calm throughout the entire process. A special thanks to your staff Susan and Christine for all of their support as well. Hi highly recommend Dr. Khosh.
Leah G.Upon hearing of the overwhelmingly positive experience a friend of mine had in choosing Dr. Khosh as her surgeon, I decided to make an appointment for my own septoplasty/rhinoplasty/turbinate reduction. Although I was slightly skeptical as the praise I had heard seemed a bit hyperbolic, all uncertainty dissipated after meeting the Doctor and his staff. My pre- and post-operative experience was excellent in terms of concerns adequately addressed prior to the surgery and mitigation of any bruising in the convalescent period. Despite my apparent predisposition to rather slower healing, a year after the surgery, my nose looks really pretty and my breathing entirely unobstructed! I highly recommend Dr. Khosh!
Courtney G.AMAZING!!!!!! I had Dr Khosh perform lipo on my chin/neck and my result is unbelievable! Better than I could have expected! I met with a couple of surgeons and the second I met with Dr Khosh I knew he was the one I was going with. He was compassionate and explained every detail of what would take place during the surgery and what to expect during recovery. I even emailed a few times during recovery with various questions and he got right back to me asap which was really comforting! I honestly fully recommend Dr Khosh, he did an amazing job and is an amazing person.
Frieda S.i can finally breathe!! Dr. Khosh made the entire experience a breeze, it was truly a pleasure to be under his care. I am forever thankful and highly recommend him. Not only does his work speak for himself, but he has excellent bedside manner. His kindness and patience is above and beyond. He takes the time to answer to every question you have to help you understand the process while at the same time making you feel so comfortable. From the first consultation i knew i was in good hands. I am so pleased with the result and forever thankful.
Tamara G.My Favorite Doctor Khosh <3
Words can not express my gratitude for his amazing life-changing work.
I had a tonsillectomy and a Neck Lump removal done on the same day.
Everything that you ever heard or read about tonsillectomy, is a dramatic over-exaggeration of people who can NOT tolerate pain.
I was so ready for a long misery and stressful recovery... Pffttt , turned out to be a really easy experience.
Dr. Khosh did an amazing job!!! Also taking in to consideration that I had 2 surgeries performed on the same day. I was out walking my dogs on day 2. Day 3 Walking dogs, doing some shopping and cooking... day 4 5 and 6 you get the picture. 0 limitations, just listened to my body and didnt overwork myself.
Just want to tell anyone and everyone who is either thinking of or NEEDS to have adult tonsillectomy done - Please don't even think twice. You get a perfect dose of painkillers, and they can solve all your pain-needs.
Dr.Khosh has an amazing warm and friendly personality, with a heart of gold and superb skills.
Susan - my comforting shoulder, and Christine - always happy and positive to brighten your day. I am forever grateful .
CathyChoosing Dr. Khosh was the best decision I made for removing my stubborn ear keloid. Other doctors I previously consulted with would tell me that they would not be able to remove it completely and I would need to use radiation to treat the remaining scar and to prevent it from growing again. Also, since I am an out of state patient, he would kindly consult with me over the phone without any extra fees whatsoever. I'm so thankful to Dr. Khosh and his caring team for finally ending this lifelong issue of mine.
Sara P.Dr. Khosh and his staff are simply the best. Extremely professional and easy to talk to, while clearly wanting to take the best care of their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Khosh if you want the results that deliver on both functionality and aesthetics.
Kirsten F.When I was a child, I broke my nose in 3 different places, 3 different times. Consequently, I found it difficult to breathe. I was diagnosed with a deviated septum and underwent a septoplasty. Years later, I was having trouble breathing again, I was then informed that I had nasal vestibular stenosis and my nose was collapsing. I went to several different doctors and one informed me that if I had It fixed, it might completely collapse. I then realized how important it was to find a specialist. After doing a lot of research, I found Dr. Khosh. He has fully restored my breathing, my nose looks great and I feel wonderful!
Jodi S.Dr. Khosh is a miracle worker. I had almost given up hope of breathing properly again until I found him. My story begins when I had a rhinoplasty (nose job) at 15 by a local ENT. This was not for cosmetic reasons, but to correct a deviated septum. This had limited my breathing capacity. One year later my doctor redid the surgery because my nose had fallen. Over the next fifteen years I developed a series of problems with my breathing: polyps, scar tissue, and had numerous sinus infections. As I got older these became more frequent. I finally decided to change doctors, as my doctor was getting older.
My new ENT pointed out that I had a problem: my nasal valves had collapsed due to the loss of cartilage in my nose. I had no idea until he pointed this out to me. To correct this surgery would be needed. However, this proved to be far more challenging. My new ENT did not do this kind of surgery but recommended 2 doctors who were affiliated with his practice. (I should mention here that I went to another doctor who confirmed this.) I scheduled the appointment with the recommended doctors who were plastic surgeons as well as ENT's. All concurred with the diagnosis but were unable to correct it. I presented with a very difficult case: there was very little cartilage remaining in my nose which resulted in its collapse. The surgery would require using cartilage from either behind the ear or the ribs. Unfortunately, neither doctor felt they had the experience to perform the required surgery. I was grateful for their honesty. They told me that I needed to find a doctor who routinely performed this kind of surgery and had experience with nasal reconstruction. In my search for a doctor I became truly frustrated. Some said the surgery was too complicated and that they did not have the proper experience and one doctor was only interested in telling me his fee and how wonderful he was. My parents were concerned that since I had developed scar tissue previously this might happen again. I refused to accept what these doctors said and began an extensive search online. This led me to Dr. Khosh.
Dr. Khosh had glowing recommendations, performed this type of surgery routinely, and had an impressive resume. At my first and only visit with Dr. Khosh before my surgery, he immediately put my mind at ease. He answered all my questions, discussed my particular case, and how he would fix the problem. I knew he was the one and left his office with a date for my surgery which required a nasal valve repair and reconstruction. My nose needed to be rebuild using cartilage from my ribs as I did not have enough behind the ear.
Susan, the office manager, was wonderful in more ways than I can describe. She took care of everything for me: filling out all the forms for my insurance and submitting them. She was there throughout the process and never failed to answer any of my questions. The surgery turned out to be one of Dr. Khosh's more challenging case (his words, not mine). He removed old scar tissue and rebuilt my nose. He prescribed medicine that amazingly reduced the swelling nor did I have black eyes following surgery. He called several times to see how I was doing. Unbelievable!
On my follow-up visits I feel as though i am seeing an old friend. He never fails to ask how I am doing and any concerns I have. Best of all, my nose works and I can breathe through it.
Alex S.Great office. Dr Krishna and his staff are attentive, compassionate, and highly skilled. I would recommend them highly for any facial plastic surgical procedure.
Alex NDoctor Khosh is a remarkable man as well as a very talented surgeon. He operated on my teenage son and the surgery was very successful. Dr. Khosh reshaped my son's ear to make it look normal. The surgery went very smooth and the results were amazing. Dr. Khosh also has very good bedside manners. We would definitely recommend Dr. Khosh to anyone who is in need of a surgery.
Clark K.I had my keliod removed today. Thank you Doc. To you Chris and Susan. Everyone was pleasant non judgmental. Everyone showed a high level of understanding. Which was a breath of fresh air. Other doctor's in the industry that I've met prior to Khosh rushed...the consultation....no words can describe how happy I am with the surgery I had today. Don't waste your time with other plastic surgeon and spending consultation fees with no result. See Khosh.
Nasrin Y.Dr. Khosh is truly a compassionate, gifted and kind physician. I always felt like he truly cared about me and my concerns. I had an incredible outcome and everyone complimented how great I looked after my injections. It's like I looked 30 years younger in 30 minutes. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family.
Charlotte L.Dr. Khosh is the best! I needed to have surgery on my cheek and was so nervous about it so wanted to find the best facial plastic surgeon in NYC. Dr. Khosh came highly recommended from my dermatologist and had top credentials with double-board certification, so I went with him. We decided together on the best course of action both medically and cosmetically and he was so assuring with his terrific bedside manner. He was unrushed with each consultation and with the surgery, and he even added extra dressing to my wound after I requested it (it was unnecessary but just gave me the comfort I was seeking). His surgery work was careful and thorough, and I'm thrilled with the results. There is very little scarring as he promised. Dr. Khosh has everything you want in a doctor -- friendly and helpful staff, a beautiful and tranquil facility, top credentials and experience, amazing bedside manner, and thorough follow-up! You will be in safe hands with Dr. Khosh!
Miguel S.Dr. Khosh and his staff are true professionals & were extremely informative, patient and helpful in all my interactions. I suffered, for as far back as I can remember, from a SEVERELY deviated septum. I had a botched septoplasty 15 years earlier by another Dr. that did not resolve my breathing issues. My nasal passage was over 95% blocked. I also suffered from severe sleep apnea, which we later determined was due to my breathing issues. I did quite a bit of research and visited a number of Dr.'s before I landed on Dr. Khosh. He is a certified facial plastic surgeon and ENT. Dr. Khosh walked me through all my options in detail and was very helpful in answering all of my questions. My surgery was life changing. I had a septoplasty to correct the nasal passage and a rhinoplasty to help with the airflow. Dr. Khosh also helped open up my sinus passages and polyps. I was nervous that the rhinoplasty would severely alter the 'look' of my nose, but that was not the case. I was extremely pleased with the aesthetic outcome and more importantly was able to finally breathe properly! I was also finally able to sleep through the night and wake up refreshed and energized for the first time in my life…like I said, truly LIFE CHANGING! The facility where the procedure was conducted was also very friendly and helped ease my nerves the day of the surgery. I recouped with practically zero bruising and was back at work after 5 days. Make sure you take Arnica to help w/ any bruising. Also, the NeliMed Sinus Rinse helped with the healing. My only regret is not meeting with Dr. Khosh sooner in my life to have this completed. Thank you again to Dr. Khosh and staff for all of your efforts! If you suffer from a deviated septum then you MUST visit Dr. Khosh, at the very least, for a consultation. You will quickly see why he is so highly accredited in his field.
Frieda S.i can finally breathe!! Dr. Khosh made the entire experience a breeze, it was truly a pleasure to be under his care. I am forever thankful and highly recommend him. Not only does his work speak for himself, but he has excellent bedside manner. His kindness and patience is above and beyond.

From the first consultation i knew i was in good hands. I am so pleased with the result and forever thankful.
Andre C.Very thoughtful care through assessment, surgery and follow up
K M.Dr. Khosh takes exceptional care of his patients. He has operated on me twice, each time making me feel extremely comfortable and satisfied with the results. His staff is also very kind and knowledgeable.
Jackie C.Great front office, really good experience after what was a terrible accident. I was made to feel comfortable. Dr. Khosh is very good at what he does. I'm still healing but I'm confident of the results
Conrad K.I had really bad scars all over my back for a few years. I was pretty self-conscious about it to be honest. But Doctor Khosh was very professional and kind throughout the entire time I was with him. He and his staff helped me with any issues I had and in a little over a year, my scars were all virtually gone. 10/10 IGN, Would Recommend.
Diana G.Dr. Khosh & his staff Susan & Christine are absolutely amazing! They were so supportive & helpful from beginning to end & they are just wonderful people. Thank you guys I truly appreciate everything you guys have done for me. I would recommend them to anyone & everyone!

Yovanny V.I had a huge keloid in my ear and I was desperate to remove it, someone recommended me doctor Maurice Krosh and thanks to him I could remove that from my ear, the surgery was so perfect, that there is no way that you can tell I had A keloid before, my first visit to his office felt very comfortable, I immediately realized that it was a place with a lot of professionalism, very clean and quite pleasant, his staff very professional and very helpful, and especially the doctor Maurice krosh very friendly, I felt very comfortable with him,
Leah G.Upon hearing of the overwhelmingly positive experience a friend of mine had in choosing Dr. Khosh as her surgeon, I decided to make an appointment for my own septoplasty/rhinoplasty/turbinate reduction.

Jennifer H.It is very rare to find someone who is incredible at what they do, and also take their time to address anything and everything you have to say. I have seen many doctors in my life and he is the absolute best. This man changed my life so much! So talented, and cares for you on a level that you won't find anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Khosh and your team for taking care of me while I was here. A thank you seems so small for all you have done in my life!
dyeroushalmi5 stars do not do justice in describing Dr. Khosh's excellence! I came to see Dr. Khosh after breaking my nose. Upon arriving at his beautiful office, I spent little to no time waiting in his waiting room and was seen by Dr. Khosh almost immediately. His compassion and bedside manner were only surpassed by superior surgical ability. I left his office in virtually no pain and by the next day, my nose felt straighter and easier to breathe out of than before I had broken it. I cannot thank Dr. Khosh and his staff enough for their warmth and compassion. If you are looking for a top plastic surgeon, there is no other choice.
Tamara PDoctor Khosh is an amazing doctor. I have been looking for a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to help me with a keloid that I had on my chest for years. I had gone to several doctors prior and the results were minimal. I even considered laser therapy. I did an internet search for doctors that had proven results in shrinking and/or removing keloids and found Dr. Kosh's reviews on Yelp. At first I was skeptical and a little nervous, but once I actually met with Dr. Khosh, his friendly bedside manor put me at ease. He is such a nice person and his wealth of experience and knowledge is impressive. And yet he is one of the most humble doctors that I have ever met.
The results are phenomenal. It took about 6 months of visits, but I can't even see a keloid any more. Thank you Dr. Khosh. I feel so much more confident now and I am ready for the beach.
Shikha P.I had/am having a great experience working with Dr. Khosh. I was very nervous when I broke my nose, especially because it's in the center of my face. I appreciated his patience and calm demeanor as he walked me through my options. He did not sugarcoat or misrepresent the potential results. Overall, he made me as comfortable as possible through the process.
Julia P.Dr. Khosh is excellent and professional! I have been his patient since 2012. His staff is lovely and his office is beautiful. I recommend him without any reservations!
Vasileios P.I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Khosh's office. I have been suffering from frequent nose bleeds and he fixed the problem in no time. He was extremely professional, pleasant, and personable. He inspires trust and I would recommend him to anybody who might need his services! Kudos!
Jun C.I came in for ear keloids, and through injections/surgery, Dr. Khosh was able to remove my larger keloid and restore me to aesthetic norms with minimal surgical scarring and unelevated keloid remnants (which are unavoidable due to the original keloid size). Dr. Khosh is courteous, honest, kind, professional, and takes pride in his work - qualities that all made it easy for me to place faith in his abilities to take care of my keloids. Christine and Susan are very kind and attentive, and have been patient in dealing with my questions.
I'm currently 2-3 months out of surgery with fingers crossed that the keloid doesn't return, and will update this post as it progresses! You can probably ask the office for pictures of my keloid journey (or others) pre and post-op.
Ramon Z.After suffering from what I thought to be swollen lymph nodes in the neck and the resulting anxiety/pain associated with it, I knew I had to see a good ENT doctor right away. Went to see Dr. Khosh today after reading about him on Google, and boy was I not disappointed at all. He was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and humble, to the point where he said I can call him by his first name, Maurice. What doctor does this?!
He felt around my neck and assured me it was not lymph nodes, but swollen muslces. He then placed a fiber optic camera (more efficient than sonograms and x rays) down my throat via the nasal passage, with care. He confirmed that I had no infection and no signs of any serious illness - perfectlt normal! Whew! Anxiety gone! And guess what, the swelling has subsided some already. He did say anxiety could worsen the issue, then ordered me back to the gym to relieve this tension.
I would reccommend Dr. Khosh any day of the week to anyone with worries about their neck and throat. Even his office staff are wonderful people! Thank you, Doctor Kosh, for quelling my anxiety with professionalism and thoroughness. God bless!
Eric W.Excellent work, and a really gentle, decent guy. I went in for a somewhat routine (some would say unnecessary) procedure and Dr. Khosh and his staff could not have been nicer. Completely painless procedure and smooth healing process. High marks all around.
Rachel H.I chose Dr. Khosh to perform my rhinoplasty and I could not be happier with the results! Throughout the entire process Dr. Khosh was present and very involved. He listened to what I wanted and also, very importantly, made sure my breathing was improved through the surgery. Many plastic surgeons performing rhinoplasties ignore the functional aspect and make their patient's breathing worse through surgery in the name of cosmetics. Dr. Khosh however, improved my breathing greatly! Perhaps what made him stand out the most was just how natural he made my nose look. He made a computer rendering before the surgery and the final result was almost identical. People who don't know me very well couldn't believe I had a rhinoplasty done, but my close friends said it brought out my natural beauty. I love how my nose looks now because it doesn't look ""done,"" but instead accentuates me. I used to be very insecure about my nose and now I feel so much more confident. Dr. Khosh is not only a surgeon, he is an artist. Would recommend to anyone!
Rich E.In June 2016 I had Mohs surgery to eliminate cancer cells from my left inner ear lobe. After the surgeon was done with the surgery she showed my how much cartilage was removed from my earlobe. She advised me that it was too much to suture and I needed reconstruction. She recommended Dr. Khosh. I feel that Dr Khosh's bedside manner both before surgery, during and after was outstanding. He was available to me any time including after hours and he called me several times or texted me. Since he also did a skin graft on my good ear, I had to deal with both ears being in pain at the same time and sleeping was impossible. Dr Khosh was sympathetic to my needs and walked me through the first few weeks. I have now fully recovered with very little scarring on the reconstruction and skin grafts and would recommend Dr. Khosh to anyone needing reconstruction surgery.
Divya SDr. Khosh is a wonderful and knowledgeable physician. He is very friendly and always takes the time to ensure all my questions are answered. When scheduling appointments, he and his staff have been so helpful and accommodating. I have had a very positive experience and would highly recommend Dr. Khosh!
Karen W.Not only does Dr. M. Khosh work speak for itself, but one consultation with him and you will understand why he gets such rave reviews. I wanted to take a moment to thank you Dr. Khosh for taking such great care of me. I knew from the moment I met you over 18 years ago that if anyone was going to operate on me, it would be you. I cannot thank you enough for your care throughout my entire experience at your office. I am beyond pleased with my results and overwhelmed by your patience and kindness. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon and team to accompany me on my journey towards health & wholeness. As a patient and as a Family Nurse Practitioner you have my highest recommendation for any new patient.
With heartfelt thanks,
Allen Y.I've known Dr. Khosh for many years. Having referred numerous patients to him, I am always amazed at how much my patients rave about his warm and caring bedside manner and impeccable results. His unparalleled surgical results with his kind and affable demeanor are a unique combination that is rarely found.
Jacquelin a.Dr. Khosh was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The waiting time in the office was minimal and he explained everything in detail about the procedure.
Hulk O.This man saved my life. I'm 25 years old and I've been suffering from keloids since the age of 7. I had my first surgery at 8 years old. For those of you unfamiliar with keloids, there's no guarantee they won't grow back. However, I've had the best results working with Dr. Khosh. Before meeting him, there were times when I felt extremely hopeless and didn't know what to do next after being turned away by several plastic surgeons. I met Dr. Khosh when I was 19 years old and he's worked with me ever since. Dr. Khosh is the best hands down. #Salute #ThankYou
l s14I usually visit Dr.Khosh as a ENT, it is always a pleasure to be greeted by the staff, Susan is always so cheerful and makes the place friendly and welcoming, especially when your not feeling well. Dr.Khosh always has the answers and is very gentle and caring which is needed with any doctor. Love him love the office! 5 stars all around!
Liann W.I saw Dr. Khosh for a bilateral earlobe repair procedure. From start to finish, I had a very seamless experience - the doctor and his staff made sure I was well-informed and comfortable through the whole process. The procedure was quick, painless and without any complications. The ears are healing quickly. I cannot express my gratitude to the doctor and I highly recommend him to anyone.
Kal N.I took my daughter to visit Dr. Khosh for a face check up. From the moment we called the office for an appointment to the moment we walked in to the office we knew we will be in good hands. The office Manager Ms. Suzan did receive us in a professional manner, she was so helpful. Dr. Khosh did comprehensive exam on my daughter's face with a nice smile that gave my daughter so much comfort. He answered all our questions and gave us all time we needed. A friend of us recommended Dr. Khosh to us and she was %100 correct. He is a great Dr. and we will be back to see him soon.
christine n.My rhinoplasty with Dr. Khosh was a wonderful experience. From the first moment I spoke to the doctor, I was sure that he was going to do a fantastic job on my nose. He has a very calm and patient demeanor, which coupled with his obvious expertise, made the decision to have my rhinoplasty with Dr. Khosh, a simple one. He answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. He was kind and reassuring before the surgery and afterwards, very available to address any concerns that I had while I recovered at home. When he removed the bandages, the results were quite pretty from day one and have only gotten better and better in the two and a half months since the surgery. My nose is beautiful and natural-looking. I am thrilled with the results! Dr. Khosh is an extremely talented plastic surgeon and I am thankful that I was referred to him for my surgery. I feel I should also mention that Susan and Cristina, who make up Dr. Khosh's office staff, are accommodating, caring and a pleasure to deal with! Thank you again, Dr. Khosh, for both your skill and kindness throughout the experience!
Janis H.Dr. Khosh is an amazing surgeon. He did a great job telling me exactly what to expect before, during and after my surgery. He is very gentle and kind. I feel like I am in good hands. Plus I had rhinoplasty (nose job) and it looks incredible.
I strongly recommend him.
Stephen A.I came to Dr. Khosh because I had experienced difficulty breathing and snoring at night. He was able to come to the conclusion that I had a severely deviated septum, and that surgery would help me immensely. I had surgery on my septum July 14 and one month later I can truly say I feel like a new person. My breathing has never been better and it is all a credit to Dr. Khosh. Prior to surgery, Dr. Khosh and his staff could not have been more accommodating. We had to reschedule our surgery and it could not have gone smother. I highly recommend Dr. Khosh, not only based on his merit and evident body of work, but because he was extremely helpful, thorough, and patient oriented.
Chelsea M.Dr. Khosh is an incredible doctor and surgeon. From the beginning he was patient, calm, knowledgeable, and kind. He listened to my concerns and addressed each of them, never pressuring me and always making sure I felt comfortable. His bedside manner is compassionate and nurturing and he makes you feel at ease. The results of the surgery were fantastic, and I recommend anyone who wants the best care and results to see Dr. Khosh.
Max A.I had breathing problems for more than 4 years, basically sneezing a lot, stuffy nose in horizontal position and awful sleeping, and finally found the doctor who can help me with it. Dr. Khosh made surgery (turbinates reduction) super easy and fast, I came home same day. No pain at all even after surgery. And one week after surgery I was breathing almost perfectly! It is such a great feeling to breath through nose as regular people! No more stuffy nose, mouth breathing, bad sleeping and snoring! He is also have super friendly personal at his office.
tconnolly129I underwent revisionary septoplasty with Dr. Khosh back in December of 2014 and I could not be happier with the results. I made the mistake of going to someone less than qualified in comparison do Dr. Khosh and I suffered. My septum was still grossly crooked before revisionary surgery with Dr. Khosh and now it is essentially perfect. Granted I still have some breathing issues, but that is attributable to my allergies--it is important to realize you probably won't breath perfectly after all is said and done.
I would highly recommend Dr. Khosh to anyone looking for nasal surgery as he is kind, reassuring, and excellent at what he does. His staff is also wonderful! Thank you Susan and Christina!
Mirjete MDr. Khosh is an amazing doctor. He is genuine, caring, and kind hearted. I had work done recently on my deviated spectrum due to being a premature baby. My surgery was a success and thanks to him, I can finally breathe better and gotten the results I always dreamed of. I don't think anyone else but Dr. Khosh could have fixed my nose and I am forever grateful to him and his staff. I highly recommend him, I promise, you will be far from disappointed.
Daniel L.I went to Dr. Maurice Khosh because I read all the great reviews he had concerning keloids. When I went to his office for a consultation, he looked at what I thought was a keloid on my ear. After further inspection, he came to the conclusion that it wasn't a keloid but a cyst and he took care of it right on the spot. That cyst was bothering me for over a year and he made it disappear in less than 2 minutes. He is a very knowledgeable doctor and made me feel super comfortable during my visit. Thank you Dr. Khosh!
James D.Dr. Khosh an his team are excellent. The entire experience was first rate. I highly recommend Dr. Khosh!
Jack B.Fantastic experience from start to finish. I had a septoplasty and turbinectomy done to fix my deviated septum and breathing problems. The procedure and recovery went perfectly, and the doctor and his employees were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. If you have this problem you should definitely use Dr. Khosh.
Katherine A.Dr. Khosh fixed my deviated septum which was causing me MAJOR breathing problems. I was scared of being overly swollen and blue like the people i've seen BUT that was NOT the case with my surgery. I had very very minor swelling the first day only but I wasnt bruised at all. The minor swelling was gone quickly. Overall, I am extremely happy I picked Dr.Khosh to do my surgery. He made me feel more at ease about my surgery and the results were absolutely amazing. I feel brand new! He was available to address all my concerns and questions before and after surgery. I could have not picked a better surgeon I had a great experience with him as well as great results I can breathe like a normal person now.
I highly recommend Dr.Khosh!
Isaiah L.Dr. Khosh is a sensational surgeon. I'm 17 and I had a mole located on the corner of my mouth that had been killing my confidence for most of my life. The job he did removing it was absolutely phenomenal. My biggest fear going into the surgery was the risk of scarring on my lips. But there was no trace of a scar and my lips are now perfectly symmetrical. I will forever be thankful to Dr. Khosh and highly recommend him.
Rosemarie B.I am not one for writing reviews, however, this had to be said and is definitely worth my time. After making several call to different doctors and putting down the phone amazed how rude the front desk can be, my search stopped when I called Dr. Khosh office. The front desk had the right manner for me to go further, Dr. Khosh have a warm bedside manner, soft spoken, caring professional and experienced. After decades of going to several different doctors regarding my keloid, Dr. Khosh understood my issues and offered great advise and treatment, I am so happy I found Dr. Khosh. My search has stopped, I found gold! My experience here is 5 stars. The best Dr. in NY in his field and the best team! Don't just go...Run...
Nili S.Dr. Khosh is an amazing surgeon - he is extremely talented and a wonderful and caring person. He did a gorgeous job on reconstructing my daughter's nose. She had been born with a massive facial hemangioma which significantly deformed her nose. Her vascular birthmark's surgeon recommended Dr. Khosh to fix her nose, and we are just thrilled with the results. Her nose looks so natural, straight, and symmetrical, which is so hard to believe because her face was so disfigured. From our first consultation to our post-surgical follow-up appointments, Dr. Khosh has been so kind, warm, and caring. He made sure to discuss our specific expectations to make sure that we were realistic about the outcome. His work so far exceeded what we had hoped for, and now my daughter has the nicest nose in our whole family! Besides his obvious surgical talents, I am so impressed with him as a person, and his entire staff is just wonderful. They are so accommodating, and thought nothing of staying 2 hours late when we were stuck in traffic for an appointment with him. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Khosh and his staff. He performed nothing short of a miracle in reconstructing my daughter's nose, and I am very grateful to have found him.
Victor P.I had a ear keloid for many years i did a lot resources on many doctors i was lucky to found dr. khosh and immediately he make me feel safe in his hands and i couldn't be happier with my results hi have a wonderful and friendly staff beside his miracle wonderful hands after all my resources i definely did the right choice and i highly recommended him to every one hi would definely put a smile in you face after you see you results.
Jimmy P.I visited Dr. Khosh to help me treat my ear that I injured in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I had some swelling and fluid in the cartilage/lobe area that I did not want to turn into cauliflower ear. He was able to treat it and it is healing nicely. I wanted to go to someone who had treated it before and was difficult to figure out if I should go to a plastic surgeon or ENT.
He was not only experienced in this issue, but understood the different types of procedures to treat depending on the severity of the injury. He spent a lot of time with me about the condition, his decision on how to treat and his office was very clean.
Kimberly J.Had issues with an reoccurring keloid, after 2 failed surgeries, found Dr. Khosh, third time was a charm, Been almost 6 months ... So far so good .. Would highly recommend him, if you are having the same issue I had...:)
Suzy P.Z and I went to Dr. Khosh for Z's breathing issues. Dr. Khosh repaired Z's perforated septum. Dr. Khosh is extremely personable. He's a nice man, and he put us at ease. He explained things in a way that was very understandable. He was extremely thorough in his examinations-- pre-op and post-op. After the surgery he saw Z for at least 10 follow-up appointments. Right after Z's release from the hospital, Dr. Khosh was in touch by phone when we really needed him. Dr. Khosh was also very respectful of Z's companion (me!). We thought Dr. Khosh was GREAT and would recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT.
Thomas R.On a beautiful July day, I arrived at Dr Khosh's office after a jet skiing accident on the East River. Krystyna was able to squeeze me in for an emergency appointment that I will forever be thankful for. Upon arrival Dr. Khosh mentioned it was one of the most challenging repairs he had to perform. With my confidence dropped, they immediately got to work. After numerous internal & external stitches of my chin, they fixed my face and it was time to heal. I grew a beard for 8 weeks and didn't look. Once I shaved my beard, my friends thought I had lied to them about having an accident due to minimal signs of scaring. Dr Khosh is a true miracle worker, and I would refer anyone to him as his work is second to none.
Jason M. K.Quick, easy, and breezy. Dr. Khosh is as friendly as he is capable.

Latest Skin News
Technique Works in Mice, but Is It Safe for People?
Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health News
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Nov. 29, 2007 -- Researchers say they've turned back the clock on aging skin -- in mice, at least -- and may be one step closer to unlocking the aging process.
"The implication is that the aging process is plastic and potentially amenable to intervention," Stanford University assistant professor of dermatology Howard Chang, MD, PhD, says in a news release.
But don't kiss your wrinkles good-bye just yet. The technique hasn't been tested in people and its long-term effects aren't known.
Here's how the experiment worked.
First, Chang's team did some genetic detective work. They analyzed human tissue samples, looking for signs of gene activity related to aging.
A protein called NF-kB was "strongly associated with aging," write the researchers. That protein appeared to control several age-related genes.
Then, Chang and colleagues turned their attention to elderly mice. For two weeks, the researchers slathered a chemical that blocks NF-kB activity in the mice's skin.
Those mice developed younger-looking skin that was about as thick as the skin of a newborn mouse.
"We found a pretty striking reversal to that of the young skin," says Chang.
He adds that "the findings suggest that aging is not just a result of wear and tear, but is also the consequence of a continually active genetic program that might be blocked for improving human health."
But the study was short, and it's not clear if blocking NF-kB is safe for mice, let alone people.
The findings will appear in the Dec. 15 edition of Genes & Development.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch at home while you stay at home and figure out your Halloween costume this year. Snooki? Too lame. That JetBlue attendant? Played out. Oh, oh! What about being an oil spill? Just cover yourself with oil and dead birds. Timely AND poignant. LET'S GO!
IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN – 8:00PM (ABC) It's the Halloween classic. And, thanks to the advent of DVR, you are now free to skip the part where Snoopy does LSD, pretends he's a World War I pilot, gets shot down, and suddenly the whole special turns into an animated version of "Rescue Dawn." Seriously, Charles Schultz. Just because you suffered from clinical depression doesn't mean the rest of us have to. Don't you think Linus grew up to be insane and was locked in a police car with his eyes rolling back into his head and muttering something about how he still thinks the Great Pumpkin is real? I do. ANTICIPATION: TREAT!
SCARED SHREKLESS – 8:00PM (NBC) NBC counters the Great Pumpkin with this new special featuring Shrek and his friends telling spoooooooky ghost stories. All the original film voices are on hand, except for Eddie Murphy, who presumably won't leave his house unless you pay him $20 million and line his walking path with daisy petals. Replacing Eddie as the voice of donkey will be SNL alum Dean Edwards. ANTICIPATION: OGRES ARE LIKE KIT KATS!
PROJECT RUNWAY – 9:00PM (Lifetime) It's Part 2 of the season finale, which means it's the actual finale. Phew! And I saw from the teaser that they're gonna bring all the old losers back, including Ivy. Booooooooooo. Ivy sucks. Anyway, before I prognosticate, how about Michael Costello having a nervous breakdown on camera last week? Man, was that brutal to watch. Turns out he was outed four years ago and his family shunned him, which is sad and awful. Even worse is that Michael thought he had to win it all to have any shot of his family accepting him, which is again sad and awful. Not as sad and awful as the collection he put out, but sad and awful just the same.
Your three finalists are as follows: Gretchen, who we found out is dumped and broke. It almost made me like her, and then she went right back to being Gretchen again. The there's Andy, who seems nice. And then there's Mondo, who will win. They will say it was a hard decision tonight, but it won't be. Mondo takes it home. Take it home, my little angel! ANTICIPATION: MONDO!
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) The gals go to Vegas and take in a Jay-Z concert. Jay-Z also appears, almost certainly to his chagrin. ANTICIPATION: H TO THE OUSEWIFE!
JERSEY SHORE – 10:00PM (MTV) The reunion. Because they've all been apart for so long! ANTICIPATION: TRASHY!

This is the first in our series of reboots that need the boot. Look for the next installments this Saturday and Sunday on Ars Technica.
There's no movie franchise closer to my heart than 20th Century Fox's Aliens series of movies—I grew up watching Alien and Aliens, and for better or for worse the movies helped make me into the upstanding individual I am today (Ha! Take that, child psychologists!). The best thing that can be said about the Aliens vs. Predator series of spin-off films is that they are at least fun popcorn fare—no one, not even the studio executives, could argue that the films are good by any stretch of the imagination.
But Aliens vs. Predator has for decades been a pairing that makes the fanboy heart race. Pairing two unstoppable killers against each other is a fun idea, and even I have to admit that it makes for an exciting video game. The AvP concept has been tried out many times on many different systems, but by far the best iteration of the formula was Monolith Productions' 2000 title Aliens vs. Predator 2. It has a great single-player story split across three separate but equally interesting campaigns: one each for the titular alien and predator and a third for the humans, because it's not AvP without some gun-toting Colonial Marines bringing the rock and roll to the party. The game also has a well-balanced multiplayer, but it's not too well-balanced; I have plenty of not-so-fond memories of one particular LAN party where someone dominated an entire afternoon by expertly bouncing grenades around the map (cough-cough-JUSTIN-cough).
Annoyingly, the next big Aliens vs. Predator title, released by Rebellion in 2010, fails to measure up to the 2001 title. The graphics are of course greatly improved, but it feels hollow—it's all flash and no guts, and more than anything else the game reminded me of what an enjoyable experience AvP 2 was. It's never a good sign when a reboot leaves you pining for its 9-year-old predecessor.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Tom Thibodeau likes his flexible bigs.
Tom Thibodeau joined 790 The Ticket in Miami with The Dan Lebatard Show with Stugotz and Stan Van Gundy to discuss why it took him so long to get a head-coaching gig, being labeled as a defensive guru, his team's recent history with the Miami Heat, why he hasn't gone smaller with his Chicago Bulls lineup and his thoughts about how smaller lineups perform defensively.
Why do you think it took you so long to get a head-coaching job?
"I don't know. I think for everyone it's different. You need a break along the way. And the thing for me was, I never was disappointed because I always felt like I was with great teams and great head coaches, so I always enjoyed that part of it and being a part of a group. I always felt that, somewhere along the line, I would get an opportunity, and I've been very fortunate to get this one."
Did being labeled as a defensive guru help or hurt that situation?
"Probably a little of both. I think today everyone tries to put you in a box - you're an offensive guy, you're a defensive guy, you're too loose, you're too stringent. … In reality, everyone's looking for the perfect person, and there really isn't one. But I think when you study coaching, I think if you look at the people that a guy has worked under, I think in order to be a great coach, you have to have worked under great coaches. … There are exceptions. Certainly Doc Rivers is a great coach and he got his opportunity a different way."
Two years ago, you're up 1-0 on the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Did you think you were going to win that series?
"I think you go game-to-game. Over the past couple of years, every one of our games against them has been a really hard-fought battle. I give them a lot of credit. They persevered. Each one of those games in that series was extremely close. We had our chances."
Many teams have chosen to go with smaller lineups, but you haven't. Why not?
"The flexibility of our bigs. … With Noah and Taj Gibson, Gibson can guard all five positions, so it gives us the opportunity to stay big. I think you can hurt teams that go small, at times, with your rebounding and your defense. With Taj, we do a lot of switching. … We sort of did that, at times, in Boston, with Garnett also. I think he can hurt teams on the boards and that's what we tried to do. But I do think you need the flexibility to do both."
Do you think the Heat are better than they were last year or are some of the sacrifices they're making in going small making them worse?
"I still think they're great defensively, and that organization has been built that way. … When you look at a guy like LeBron, he can guard every position on the floor as well, so he's unique. When you have somebody like that, it allows you to do things like that. And I think winning the championship, that experience helps them. And with the addition of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, to me, when I watch them play, they look pretty strong."
But can you be an elite defensive team if you play a lineup that small?
"If the opponent can make you pay on the board, you're giving up the rebounding part a little bit, I think. But they've shown that they can do it collectively. It's hard to argue with the results that they got last year."

Tay Zonday
| One or more of the authors of this entry was terribly bored.
They may be afflicted with Attention Deficit... hey, we should go fly kites. That'd be so awesome! We haven't flown kites, since, like, summer. Hey, summer is when birds come out! Birds are so cool.
"Back in my day, we didn't have chocolate rain. We had vanilla rain, and damn it, we LIKED IT!"
"Chocolate rain. Listening to this song makes me insane."
"Chuck Norris is the only one who doesn't feel pain when some stay dry."
"I may or may not be his father... Probably may."
"That's racist!"
[Zonday quietly moves away from the Mike and does something unfinished ]...
The Chocolate Rain Guy (born Tay Zonday or less commonly Thai Zonday; July 6, 1982 – disappeared August 11, 2008) was an American musician and alchemist best known for his vocal opposition to chocolate rain cessation theory. After many unsuccessful attempts to disseminate his opposition to the theory, he recently popularized his views in a song made famous through a music video. He also has the world record (69) for moving away from microphone more than any other musician.
As Mr. Zonday creatively pointed out, a peculiar fad of the time in which people would flaunt their enormously distracting bubons while ringing around any rosie that happened to be in the immediate vicinity, or drowning themselves in chocolate precipitation, might have been the cause of multiple unconfirmed reports of
babies dying before the sin. His family was a site of much strife, with his father often beating his entire family with a small penis. After escaping the sexual relationship he foolishly began with his mother, he tried his hand at his childhood passion of beekeeping, before releasing his online videos in a drunken stupor. Due to his healthy diet of wine, bread, and halfback, Mr. Zonday has lived a relatively full life and has recently celebrated his 575th birthday. Zonday's surprisingly youthful, yet brown appearance has been accredited to his very close, personal relationship with well-known singer/songwriter Michael Jackson. Jackson reportedly referred Zonday to his personal plastic surgeon who took it upon himself to reconstruct Zonday's facial features such that he may look more like the illegitimate son of Janet Jackson and Kermit the Frog. He has also maintained his youthful appearance through the use of the Philosopher's stone. Hey, better than his brother, Gay Zonday. He ended up working as a slave to Mexicans.
Career in Alchemy[edit]
Early in the 1990's Zonday joined other famed Alchemists such as Saint Thomas Aquinas, Toby Keith, and Oscar Wilde in the search for a way to transform some random shit into some other random shit. Zonday and Keith joined forces, and the resulting team, Zonday the Alchemy Man and his loyal sidekick Keith. Zonday once said,m"I know some super secret shit . . . you don't wanna screw with me . . . dude", (mysteriously moves away from the mike). Unleashed a wave of destruction the likes of which the world had not seen since the legendary battle between Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris.
Due to the clash in brain power between the brilliantly intelligent Zonday and Keith, a man who completely misunderstands the way the world works in every way, and would later write the following song lyrics-- "i'm just a middle aged middle eastern camel herding man! i've got a two bedroom cave here in north Afghanistan . . . we'll flip the finger to and give a big boner to the taliban!," the duo attempted to transform water in any of it's physical phases (liquid, gas, solid) into something containing chocolate without the physical addition of cocoa. The ultimate goal of Zonday's work was to disprove the commonly accepted Chocolate Rain Cessation Theory which proposes that the only way to transform water into chocolate is using an almost mythical chemical known today as Solderfiend. Scientists agree that after the Big Bang, Solderfiend was completely obliterated in the atmosphere, making chocolate rain a physical impossibility. This could have lead to the extinction of dinosaurs as they subsisted almost entirely on falling chocolate. Zonday believes that it is possible to use alchemy to chemically synthesize Solderfiend, proving that it could still exist in nature causing the undetectably small cocoa content of rainclouds in the Amazon. Unlike Zonday, Kieth did not have an ultimate goal in his attempts to create chocolate rain, he was more like a helper monkey who Zonday lured into his laboratory by waving various shiny objects in front of the window.
"Chocolate Rain"[edit]
Chocolate rain is a song made popular and performed by Tay Zonday. Though originally written by Billy Ray Cyrus, Tay has received all the credit for it. Billy Ray has said that he will take Tay to court if he doesn't credit him in the video's "info" section on Youtube.com. Tay mentioned Billy Ray for three weeks, but due to receiving 30,000 less views a week he took it out. His views returned almost instantly. It was revealed in a 2007 interview with Time that Tay and Billy Ray had a former relationship. It seemed that Tay liked to make BR swim in his chocolate and drink his rain. They adopted a child, who they left in the basement for 38 years. As soon as the no-longer-baby was found, it was adopted by Brad Pitt. The baby later grew up to be Angelina Jolie.
The meaning of the cryptic lyrics has long been controversial. Many different interpretations have been put forward by various people. However, in a rare tell-all interview with Roseanne, Zonday revealed that he was inspired to pen the song after spending a night repeatedly watching the video 2 Girls 1 Cup. This revelation led to a long awkward pause in the interview, as Tay did not realize that Roseanne was one of the actresses on the infamous viral video - this was subsequently edited out in post-production.
In November of 2007, Kenny G covered "Chocolate Rain" on his album, "I Suck But Still Put Out Albums". This led to Zonday's resurgence in popularity, because they wanted to hear his rendition more than Kenny G's.

Chocolate Rain Cessation Theory (CRoCheT)[edit]
Chocolate Rain Cessation Theory, which posits the conclusion of the centuries-long meteorological-cum-sociological phenomenon known as chocolate rain, is based upon one simple principle, namely, that all stay dry and no one feels the pain. It follows from this premise that babies born will not die before the sin, that we will not be happy living in a gate, and that test scores are not how much the parents make. Since it was first postulated in the early modern period, the theory has thoroughly enriched and substantiated by the scientific community. Widely considered the piece de resistance of CRoCheT studies, Nicholas Sparks' popular novel The Notebook effectively closed debate on the issue. John Stamos is actually believed to be the true originator of this Theory by die-hard fans and "The Stamos" himself.
Although Zonday's life began almost six centuries ago, he did not begin to pursue his career as an alchemist and a musician until he reached the ripe old age of eleven. Despite the flurry of scientific discoveries that defined the Middle Ages, Zonday was unable to make significant headway in his attempts to disprove the chocolate rain cessation theory. As was custom at the time, he traveled far and wide, discussing the matter with various priests, oracles, and other godlike mythical people and creatures.
The answer he received from each of these beings, however, was not what he wanted to hear. It seemed that Zonday would need an appropriate sidekick to help him complete his master plan, and that his sidekick would not be born until approximately half a millennium had passed. Although ignorance and misunderstanding were prevolent in Zonday's society, he could not locate any one person who was quite chocolate minded enough for the job, and he accepted the idea that he would just have to wait until he could locate the legendary Toby Kieth as the oracles had promised. To pass the time until he could resume his study of the art of alchemy, Zonday teamed up with the most famous singer, songwriter, writer, poet of our and any time -- anonymous! The two of them began infusing the folk music scene with songs advertising the existence and ill effects of chocolate rain. This method of informing the public about chocolate rain proved to be a successful way of communicating the key points of the issue to the general public. Zonday's methods of publicizing the phenomenon of chocolate rain would later be referenced by other environmental visionaries including Al Gore, who reciently used a very similar method to inform the public about global warming.
In recent times children have claimed to have spotted Michael Jackson, unknowing of Tay Zonday. Zonday was held in a Chocolate jail cell for many seconds, before being released into court. When asked how he plead, he yelled out "Chocolate Rain". It would seem the same crime holds the higher price to pay.

In recent years, while on a spiritual quest, he found out that he, was in fact, related to Darth Vader in some capacitation, explaining the deepness of his voice, and his love for Chocolate. He has allegedly recently been found placing pieces of chocolate inside of his anus. This report is yet to be confirmed, but by the sound of his voice, it is quite certain he has been. As developments arise, we will report, but for the time being, Zay's boyfriends should stay a good 10 yards away from his anus.
Rivalry with The Hulk[edit]
After slaying the King (Yul Brynner) and blowing up the Death Star, Zonday ventured into some random city where the Hulk was smashing stuff with his emerald fists. Zonday witnessed in pain as the green biatch destroyed his beloved chocolate candy/dildo emporium. He vowed revenge on the Hulk, and was seen running around slapping green Barbie dolls around. Weeks after, Zonday planned to break into the Hulk's house and ass rape his dog. However, he was shot by a racist police officer. "Negro at night, I had to do something!" As offensive as this was, he was awarded a Medal of Honor, even though he didn't go to any wars.
Current Status[edit]
As of May 2008, Tay has been somewhat complacent. James Peterson, a fourteen year-old from Middleberry, TX, who is seriously considering becoming a potential news reporter, recently bumped into Tay in whatever city within whatever state that city is in at the local Carl's Jr. Tay was eating the six dollar burgar for $4.99. James asked, "Hows it goin'?" to which Mr. Zonday reported, "Complacent." Tay ate all but three fries and got two refills on his Mr. Pibb.
On August 11th, 2008, an Amber Alert was issued for the disappearance of Tay Zonday. Currently, the kidnappers, and the whereabouts of Zonday, are unknown.[citation needed]
He's presumed dead.

The userattr keyword specifies which attribute values in the entry that was used to bind must match those in the targeted entry. The userattr keyword can be used for the following attributes:
User DN
Group DN
Role DN
LDAP filter, in an LDAP URL
Any attribute type
An attribute generated by a Class of Service (CoS) definition cannot be used with the userattr keyword. ACIs that contain bind rules that depend on attribute values generated by CoS will not work.
The userattr keyword uses this syntax:
userattr = "attrName#bindType"
Alternatively, if you are using an attribute type that requires a value other than a user DN, group DN, role DN, or an LDAP filter, the userattr keyword uses this syntax:
userattr = "attrName#attrValue"
The userattr keyword can have one of the following values:
The name of the attribute used for value matching
One of the following types of bind: USERDN,GROUPDN,ROLEDN,LDAPURL
Any string that represents an attribute value
