Beloved ESPN anchor Stuart Scott dies @ 49



Long time ESPN anchor Stuart Scott died Sunday morning aged 49. Sportscenter colleague Hannah Storm announced Scott's passing live on the air as she fought back tears.

Scott who was diagnosed with cancer in November 2007 opened up about his fight with cancer at the ESPYs last July, when accepting the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance.

"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer," Scott said at the time. "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."



Rest in peace! What a loss!

Rather than sweeping blusher diagonally along the cheekbone from mouth, or even dabbing it on the apples of your cheeks, the new place for it to go is directly underneath your eyes. 
 
The red around the eyes gives the impression that its wearer is slightly unwell or as if they've been crying, and in need of looking after.
  

Known as 'byojaku face', the sickly look has proved hugely popular in Japan
The look was pioneered by Ranzuki, a teen magazine with the tagline 'I can be the cutest and most stylish girl in class'. 
Popular online site Tokyo Girls Update published a feature on the trend.
Author Kanako Kirita wrote: 'According to Japanese school girls, a sickly face consists of pale skin, worried brows, and slightly tinted cheeks and lips.

Relatives of the passengers hear news that bodies have been found
The discovery of six bodies and debris in the Java Sea today put a painful end to the mystery of the missing AirAsia Flight 8501, which disappeared two days ago with 162 people on board.
The bodies were found about 160km from  land and 10km from the plane's last communication with air traffic control. The plane vanished on Sunday on its way from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore after encountering storm clouds.
Six bodies were taken to an Indonesian navy ship, First Admiral Sigit Setiayanta, the Naval Aviation Centre commander at the Surabaya air force base, told reporters. The victims were not wearing life jackets.

Search and rescue teams were lowered on ropes from a hovering helicopter amidst strong winds to recover the bodies.
The discovery came after several pieces of red, white and black debris were spotted in the Java Sea near Borneo island. AirAsia planes are red and white.
Mr Supriyadi said that, from an aircraft above, he saw what appeared to be a life jacket and an emergency exit door. More wreckage could be seen beneath the water.
Indonesian television showed the half-naked body of a man whose shirt partially covered his head. The images sent a shockwave through family members watching together in a waiting room at Surabaya airport.
Many screamed and wailed uncontrollably, breaking down in tears while they squeezed each other. One middle-aged man collapsed and had to be taken out on a stretcher.
AirAsia group chief executive Tony Fernandes said on Twitter: "My heart is filled with sadness for all the families involved in QZ 8501. On behalf of AirAsia my condolences to all. Words cannot express how sorry I am."
