Baylor Women’s Basketball Coach Kim Mulkey Has Bell’s Palsy

Coach Kim Mulkey, who is taking undefeated Baylor University into the Final Four of the national women’s basketball championship in two days, has been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, the school said.
Bell’s palsy is a form of facial paralysis caused by a nerve dysfunction that results in the inability to control muscles. The condition usually has a rapid onset, often occurring overnight.

“I noticed while we were in Des Moines last week that my tongue felt strange,” Mulkey said yesterday in a statement. “Yesterday I noticed when I smiled, only the left side of my mouth was working. Also, my right eye was drooping and I couldn’t hear properly out of my right ear.”
Mulkey said she missed practice two days ago and went to the doctor after consulting with the team’s trainer, Alex Olson.

“Coach Mulkey is being treated with an anti-viral medication along with oral steroids to reduce the inflammation of the facial nerve,” Olson said.
The Lady Bears are two wins from their second national championship under Mulkey and the NCAA’s first 40-win season. Baylor meets Stanford on April 1 in Denver, while Connecticut and Notre Dame play in the second National Collegiate Athletic Association national semifinal contest.
The championship game is April 3.

6 Shapes of women revealed

One in five women is shaped like butternut squash, which means that their bust and hip sizes are the same but the waist is smaller by about 10 inches.

Examples of this shape are Kelly Brook and 'Mad Men' star Christina Hendricks, says a new poll.

Experts also found one in four British women are carrot-shaped, 23 per cent are pears and 18 per cent are apples.

Big-hipped aubergines and busty broccolis scored less than six per cent each.

The survey, for the Vitality Show - from March 22 to 25 at London's Earls Court - studied 3,000 volunteers, the Sun reported.

Singers Jennifer Hudson and Kerry Katona are a typical apple shape. The waist is equal to or larger than the hips and bust and there is only 2-4 inches difference between all three.

Lindsay Lohan and TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson are broccolis wherein the bust is the widest part and hips and waist are about the same size.

Hollywood A-listers Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman fall under the carrot category with bust and hips wider than the waist but only by about 6-8 inches.

Pear shaped women have a waist that is at least 10 inches smaller than their hips but the bust isn''t as large as the bum.

Famous pears are Jennifer Lopez or 'Sex and the City' star Kristin Davis.

Clare Richards from Steps and Adele are aubergine-shaped as their bust is the smallest measurement and hips the largest. The waist size lies between the two.
