Doctor Hoang Van Minh, head of the dermatology ward at Ho Chi Minh City Medical University, diagnosed Ms Nguyen's condition as mastocytosis, according to local news publication. But Dr Hunt said this condition, a rare disorder caused by too many mast cells, would usually cause a patient's skin to look red and pigmented, rather than making it
sag and droop. Dr Hunt said the condition would most likely need to be corrected with cosmetic surgery. Ms Nguyen's husband has stood by her side and says that he still loves her as much as the day they met. "I married Phuong when she was a beautiful woman. I have followed her through her disease and have never been shocked at all," he said. "It's not easy to talk about one's own marital affairs. Just simply understand that I still love her very much." What could she be suffering from?

Coke plans $2bn IndIa Investment In bId to boost growth
Coca-Cola has said it will invest $2bn in India over the next five years in a bid to increase its market share in the country. Part of the investment will go towards expanding manufacturing capacity and the distribution network to meet increased demand. The worlds largest soft drink company said it expects India to be one of its top five markets by 2020. The amount is equal to what Coke has invested in India in the past 18 years. This investment is a part of our longterm commitment to invest in innovation, partnerships and a portfolio of brands that will enable us to grow our business in a sustainable and responsible way, said Atul Singh, president of Coca-Cola India. The countrys demographics, economic and social parameters are all huge drivers of growth and we have to ensure that we capitalise on the opportunity, he added. Important growth markets With robust economic growth in recent years and a more affluent middle class, India is one of the fastest growing consumer markets in the world. Coca-Cola has also benefited from Indias rapid rise, with the company the last 21 quarters. Ahmet C. Bozer, Coca-Colas president, Eurasia and Africa Group, said the company was keen to tap further into Indias expanding market. India is one of our most important growth markets as we work toward our 2020 vision of doubling system revenues and servings this decade, he said. If we continue to do the right things each day and at all times, it would not surprise me if India becomes one of the top five markets for the company globally by the end of this decade, he added. The company said it will use part of the investment to focus on enhancing the consumer experience and building brand loyalty.

when san Jose man Charles preston noticed the windows in his second-hand minivan would not go down properly he figured he would live with it because it had a great air-conditioning system. But Preston was shocked when his mechanic found the cause of the window jam half a million dollars worth of cocaine packed in the door panels, the San Jose News reported. Preston paid $14,000 for the 2008 Chrysler minivan, which he uses to deliver food to people living on the street, in May last year. Recently he noticed the brakes were making funny noises so he took it to the mechanic, who checked and repaired them. When Preston arrived to pick up his van, the mechanic said he noticed a problem with the windows and offered to look into it. At first the mechanic thought the objects he found wrapped in purple and clear cellophane were some kind of insulation, but soon realized they were not installed by the manufacturer, and instead contained drugs. Im, like, dumbfounded, said Preston, a psychologist. Honest to God, my hands went numb. After the police were called they found 14 packages of cocaine hidden in the doors. After impounding the van, they found five more above the back wheels. They told me, Youre so lucky, youd be in jail for the rest of your life if you got searched in a traffic stop and they found this, Preston said. The van was previously owned by a rental car agency and the car lot that sold it to Preston has offered to replace the van with a drug-free ride. I just want to get rid of the van. I dont want it in front of my house, Preston said. Somebody could just come and want the car and run me off the road. When I drive now, Im always looking around.
emaIls show people arrIvIng In uk on prIvate Jets were not CheCked by border offICIals
a uk border agency (ukba) official has leaked emails which claim some passengers arriving on private charter flights did not face any passport or customs checks. The official, working at Durham Tees Airport in northern England, voiced concerns to management at the UKBA that his staff did not even see some of the passengers. He was told the no-checks policy was part of a new national General Aviation Strategy being rolled out and that the policy at his airport was consistent with national policy. The whistleblower wrote, As we are not allowed to physically see the passengers ... we have no way of checking whether the handling agent information is correct or even if the number of people arriving matches the number we have been advised. It is creating a situation where we are not able to secure the borders as robustly as we would like to, for no justifiable reason. In an extract from an email written back to the whistleblower, management said, The procedures were put in place to satisfy the business need and after consideration of the perceived risk of the traffic at the airport ... it suits the business and eases the never ending pressure on resources we have on a daily basis. In response to the leak, a spokesperson from the UKBA said in a statement, It is not true that we dont carry out passport and warnings index checks on private flight passengers and we will deploy officers to airfields where we have concerns. The official is the latest in a series of whistleblowers claiming that border officials were authorised to water down checks at UK ports and airports and that this had come from Home Secretary Theresa May. May insists she only approved the pilot scheme to relax checks on some European passport holders and that Brodie Clark, the former head of the UKBA, extended that to thousands more EU and non-EU passengers without her permission. He resigned to pursue a case of constructive dismissal after May was accused of hanging him out to dry over the controversy.
woman had drunken sex wIth four boys and esCapes JaIl sentenCe
a woman who had sex with four teenage boys has walked free from court after being handed a suspended prison sentence. Laura ODonnell, 20, pleaded guilty and was convicted in the County Court of four counts of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and five counts of committing an indecent act with a child under 16. Court documents reveal she plied the alcohol on three separate occasions. The first two involved one victim and the third, all four. Documents show ODonnell, who had trained to be a childcare worker, assaulted the boys while drunk between February and June last year in Ballarat . Judge Sue Pullen wholly suspended
ODonnells two-year, five-month sentence and placed her on an 18-month community-based order despite her previously breaching a similar order for an attempted robbery. A report handed to Judge Pullen by a community corrections officer said hour order and even failed to attend an assessment for the order she was eventually granted. The judge attributed her offending to a troubled background, low self-esteem and alcohol abuse. president Noel McNamara said the sentence was a disgrace. If it was a man on those charges it would have been a different story, he said.

The study does not examine the reasons immigrants tend to have better health, but those are likely to include the screening that selects an inherently healthier group of people who arrive in Canada, and also those who have a healthier diet and are more physically active in their native countries. The longer the immigrants live in Canada, the more closely they adopt the patterns and behaviours common here.

In 2007, Jesse Germaniuk told police that he chained his 2002 Honda 600 motorcycle to a wooden post in the town for a couple of days and when he returned the motorcycle had been stolen. Germaniuk subsequently filed a stolen vehicle claim with ICBC and because he carried comprehensive insurance, which includes coverage for stolen vehicles, he collision coverage on the motorcycle though, so had he been in a crash, he would not have been compensated for damages to his bike. In 2010, ICBC received a tip about the claim through its fraud tips line. ICBCs subsequently investigated the claim and determined that the motorcycle was not stolen as Germaniuk claimed. In fact, Germaniuk had crashed his motorcycle into a pole and then salvaged the investigation that led to the seizure of the Honda engine and other motorcycle parts and accessories from a shed on Germaniuks property, following the execution of a search warrant. After pleading guilty to fraud by filing a false claim last June, Germaniuk was in victim surcharge costs.

Gods and mere mortals collide in Immortals, a rambunctious offering from Alliance Films that works on a variety of levels. Sure to prove popular with those into mega fantasies like 300 and Clash of the Titans, Immortals charts a brutal course of a plain man battling a ruthless leader out to control the world. Steeped in mythology and tradition its the Gods that are looking down on Earth as a relentless madman sets his sights on conquest of the lands. By all accounts King Hyperion is as ruthless as they come. Oscar winning heavyweight Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2) gets lots of screen time which he uses to full advantage as he slices and dices his way through the lands in a quest for immortality. Number one objective is for him to secure a magical bow that wields unbelievable powers. Out to stop him are some ordinary citizens led by the most unlikely of heroes. Not quite ready for prime time warrior to be is Theseus, a man with his own grudge to settle against King Hyperion. Relative unknown actor Henry Cavill (the Count of Monte Cristo) may well be headed to stardom as the mild-mannered peasant/slave who rises to the occasion to lead the revolt against Hyperion and his mammoth army.

Director Tarsem Singh (The Cell) takes us back in time to the ancient world and succeeds in building a strong rivalry with good against evil and creates great tension and epic battle scenes worthy of your consideration. Strong support from the likes of Stephen Dorff (Public Enemies) as a comrade in arms to Theseus and Freida Pinto (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) as a virgin with the ability to foresee the future help make this epic journey a lot of fun. lends a hand as a mentor or sorts with lots of historical baggage in his resume. Bottom line on Immortals is that its fantasy with lame 3-D elements but engaging battle scenes and rivalry that makes this movie rock!

WWE Survivor Series 2011
Since CM Punk became the best in the world, the WWE has buried him to the point of almost completely stopping all the momentum he built this summer. Thats why at Survivor Series the WWE has to give CM Punk the WWE title. CM Punk is one of the best pure wrestlers in the business, and his talent on the microphone leaves all others in the company to shame. Alberto del Rio is solid on the mic and in the ring, but he doesnt have that charisma that the WWE wants from their title holder. The experiment of him holding the WWE title hasnt been a huge disaster, but it has been lackluster enough to warrant a change of hands. All of the change that CM Punk was talking about is bound to take place sooner or later, and what better time than at the If the WWE wants their shows to be interesting again, they need to hand CM Punk the WWE title and a microphone and allow him to run the show. That wont happen, though. This is the WWE were talking about. There are enough stars not involved in matches that this has the feel of yet another run in. John Laurinaitis and Kevin Nash are still kicking around in the backstage area, and to think that someone who doesnt like CM Punk wont interfere is just nave. WWE is trying to blow the doors off Survivor Series this year, so I imagine in this match. What that means is anyones guess.
Roloson is struggling this year. Some of that is the play in front of him and some of that is his age. So lets say that the Lightning, or another team that rises up, feel that they are one goaltender away from getting back to the Finals this year and are in the market. Would Schneider be that guy? There are other options that may come to get equal value. In Long Island the Islanders are carrying three goalies right now. Most notably is Evgeni Nabakov who has made it pretty clear he would like out. Nabakov would be cheaper and is a guy who has much more experience than Schneider. The Lightning has already mined the Islanders for a goalie and might prefer to do so again over Schneider. Then there is Jonathan Bernier in Los Angeles. He is stuck behind Jonathan Quick and the Kings might also be looking to move their back up. Bernier and Schneider are both
and both considered future number one goalies. Bernier may come cheaper than Schneider to Schneider. Schneider was on the Presidents Trophy winning team, got a start in the playoffs and has some cache across the league. If a team could get Bernier for less than Schneider they might prefer that, thinking they were getting a player with a similar upside. Schneider is not the only option for other teams looking to make a deadline deal. That may force them to hold onto Schneider and make decisions this off season. In the off season more teams will come into play as landing a young and up coming goalie will be a much sought after commodity, even for some contending teams. It looks like the Schneider versus Luongo debate will be a topic all year in

Frankie Edgar awaits Henderson at uFC 144 in JapanuFC on FOX 1 victory
The widest grin after UFC on FOX 1 belonged to the man who just found out he the man who just won one.

Henderson will tentatively meet Edgar, who is coming off of a comeback TKO victory over Gray Maynard at UFC 144 in Saitama, Japan, on Feb. 26, 2012.

Although it was close, peoples faces and get people cheering, Henderson did enough to win eight out of Guida said. I feel my fans with every a possible nine rounds on the three judges punch I throw.

Next Its going to be a daunting task against the has never lost via stoppage. Maynard in each of his last two bouts. But Henderson, a former WEC lightweight champion, promised he would come in at his best against Edgar. I can do a lot better than that, Henderson said. You guys havent seen nothing yet.

This will be We are back for the fourth straight week with The Hot Seat. Beginning with UFC 137, covering UFC 138 in England, before moving on to the historic UFC on Fox event that took place last Saturday, the UFC ends a dramatic run of events with UFC 139, which will take place in San Jose on Saturday night. The main event pits two former Pride stalwarts against each other as former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Shogun Rua battles former pride welterweight and middleweight champion and current Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Dan Henderson. Obviously this is a matchup that would have been more exciting when the two were are Ruas knees, which have gone through he has never fought anyone quite like Silva, Urijah Faber and Brian Bowles will face off to determine who will lose to current UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz again. Bowles lost the WEC version of the title to Cruz back in March of 2010 when he couldnt continue after the second round, due to a broken hand. Faber just lost an exciting unanimous decision to Cruz at UFC 132. and didnt disappoint, but it was evident that The rest of the card has its ups and downs, jeopardy of losing their jobs, but a couple of them are very interesting.
