SUNDAY, Nov. 17, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Overweight or obese people can cut their risk of trouble with a potentially fatal irregular heart beat if they lose a lot of weight, a new study has found.
Losing a bit more than 30 pounds, on average, caused people to have fewer and less severe bouts of heart palpitations related to atrial fibrillation.
The findings were presented Sunday at the American Heart Association annual meeting in Dallas, and published simultaneously in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Atrial fibrillation is a disorder of the electrical impulses that coordinate the beating of the heart. Rapid and disorganized electrical signals cause the heart's two upper chambers -- the atria -- to contract in a fast and irregular way. The condition can increase a person's risk of stroke and contribute to heart problems.
The new study found that people on a strict weight-management plan experienced a five-fold decrease in the severity of their atrial fibrillation symptoms, compared with those who only received nutrition and fitness advice.
The dieters also had a 4.5-times better overall decrease in symptoms and a two-and-a-half-times greater decline in episodes of atrial fibrillation, the study authors said. Symptoms can include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, fainting and chest pain.
"Weight loss will help most people who are overweight" with their atrial fibrillation, said study co-author Dr. Prashanthan Sanders, director of the Centre for Heart Rhythm Disorders at the University of Adelaide in Australia. "Extra weight, through so many ways, has a significant impact on the atria [upper chambers of the heart]."
For example, obesity increases inflammation and can contribute to the thickening of the heart's wall, the study authors said.
The study authors called atrial fibrillation "the epidemic of the new millennium," projecting that by 2050 between 12 million and 15 million Americans will be affected by the heart disorder. The reason: the growing obesity epidemic.
The 19-month study involved 150 people with a body-mass index (BMI) greater than 27. In general, a person with a BMI -- a ratio of weight to height -- greater than 25 is considered overweight. Someone with a BMI greater than 30 is considered obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Obesity is thought to be a major contributor to atrial fibrillation, Sanders said. "Several epidemiological studies have suggested this," he said. "There are several reasons why -- sleep apnea, hypertension [high blood pressure] and metabolic syndrome."
According to background information provided in the study, people experience a 4 percent to 5 percent increased risk of atrial fibrillation every time their BMI increases by 1 point.
For the new study, half of the participants underwent a weight-management plan that for the first eight weeks required a very low-calorie diet of between 800 and 1,200 calories per day. They received a weight-loss shake for two of their daily meals, and a third meal with high levels of proteins.
These people also had to follow a written exercise plan that prescribed low-intensity exercise like walking or cycling three times a week, starting at 20 minutes per session and gradually increasing to up to 45 minutes.
The other study participants were just provided advice on nutrition and exercise.
The people in the weight management plan ended up losing 33 pounds on average, compared with an average 12.5 pounds lost by the advice group.
Along with the weight, both groups also shed symptoms of atrial fibrillation. But the weight-management group experienced significantly greater reductions in problems with atrial fibrillation.
American Heart Association Past President Dr. Gordon Tomaselli said it makes sense that losing weight would help people who are experiencing an irregular heart beat.
"Anything that increases cardiac demand can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation," he said.
Tomaselli, chief of cardiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, added that a person doesn't have to go to the extremes undertaken by the weight-management group to get some benefit.
"Time and time again, any weight loss has been shown to help people," he said. "Exercise is good for you. If you exercise more tomorrow than you did today, you're doing the right thing."

The Houston Dynamo's trip to Trinidad and Tobago was supposed to be their chance to capture three crucial road points, but an uninspiring performance turned it into a failed opportunity. The Dynamo were short on ideas and urgency in a 0-0 draw with W Connection, leaving them two points back of Group 1 leaders Arabe Unido.
The draw leaves W Connection with almost no chance of advancing to the knockout stages, as they sit on one point after two matches. Arabe Unido lead the group with the Dynamo in second after one match apiece.
Houston managed just eight shots, none of them especially dangerous. They were playing without several starters and despite 10 corner kicks, the Dynamo never showed the same potency on them that they normal have on set pieces.
The best chance of the game went to the home side, who really should have won. Neil Benjamin found himself wide open in front of goal and somehow managed to miss the frame, gifting the Dynamo a point.
With just one point from Trinidad and Tobago, Houston needs all three points when they host Arabe Unido next week. If they can't get the win, Arabe Unido will have first place and a home match against the Dynamo left, leaving them in the driver's seat to win the group.

Heightened security is now in effect for a Lubbock murder trial, after a demonstration in the courtroom early Tuesday.
Authorities say a woman watching the trial of Mitchell Wachholtz held up a sign they perceived as a threat. Now, all people going into the courtroom must pass through a metal detector. Deputies had the detector installed by Tuesday afternoon. NewsChannel 11 passed through it around 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Wachholtz is on trial for the July 2, 2007 shooting death of 21-year-old Chase Pendleton. EMS rushed Pendleton to University Medical Center after investigators say Wachholtz opened fire at the 7-Eleven at 34th and Memphis.
Authorities arrested Wachholtz the following day after several Crime Line tips. Tuesday, jury members heard from a Lubbock Police Detective and saw the bullet hole in Pendleton's polo and blood soaked undershirt he wore the night of the shooting.
Lubbock County Chief Deputy Paul Scarborough tells NewsChannel 11 that Tuesday morning, a woman walked out of the courtroom and flashed a sign. He says it was written on an 8x10 piece of paper. Scarborough says it was clearly written, and that the judge and jury could easily read it. He says it read something to the effect of "an eye for an eye".
Authorities perceived that as a threat, and installed the metal detector shortly after. Investigators suspect the woman knew Pendleton, but they are not sure how. They also suspect she planned the demonstration. Now, that woman is not allowed back in the trial, and if she tries to get in, she could face a charge of criminal trespass.
Testimony continues Wednesday morning and NewsChannel 11 will bring you the latest as it becomes available.

Opera star, director and teacher Regina Resnik has died at the age of 91.
Born in New York, Resnik's career began when at age 19 she sang Verdi's Lady Macbeth in New York. She joined the Metropolitan in 1944. Appearing at the last-minute as Leonora in Verdi's Il trovatore, she earned accolades from the New York Times: "Miss Resnik, still in her twenties, was notified to appear twenty-four hours before curtain time…with only one and a quarter hours rehearsal, she took over this difficult role and won several ovations for her efforts."
Miss Resnik's career as a soprano continued through the mid 1950s. After a period of study, she began a second career as a mezzo-soprano. The great dramatic roles were now hers: Carmen, Klytamnestra in Elektra, Mrs. Quickly in Verdi's Falstaff, the Countess in Pique Dame. She recorded all of these operas and directed several of them.
She sang at the Met until 1983. Her Marquise in The Daughter of the Regiment was a comedic turn worthy of Edna Mae Oliver, but with a better voice. She was the Carmen of choice in London, Vienna, Salzburg and Buenos Aires. Metropolitan Opera director Rudolf Bing reportedly did not care for the mezzo Resnik. No matter, she was acclaimed everywhere else.
I treasure her masterclasses I attended in New York. Resnik taught clearly and patiently a number of young singers. None of these had the opportunities at 20 she enjoyed. Nevertheless, the lady's years of wisdom and humor gave a lot of encouragement to talented young artists. Her marriage to painter Arbit Blatas led to on stage collaborations in several of Regina Resnik's most notable operas.
Resnik was an artist who could do anything. She had the personality and the graciousness that kept her before the public into her ninth decade. Later career found her on Broadway in Cabaret, and at the New York City Opera in A Little Night Music. Resnik began her career on a major New York stage and that's where it ended, fifty years later. Brava.

excerpted from the Los Angeles Times Bleacher Report article October 17, 2012
"According to Rivals.com's comprehensive team recruiting rankings, Brown hasn't brought in a class ranked lower than No. 20 since 2002, and seven of these hauls have been Top 5 rated groups.
Brown's last four classes at Texas have been rated No. 5 (2009), No. 3 (2010), No. 3 (2011) and No. 2 (2012).
When you put the Longhorns' wins, losses, scores and other stats in front of this striking backdrop, it becomes almost impossible not to question the quality of coaching.
And the coaching buck at the University of Texas stops with Mack Brown—not Manny Diaz, not Bryan Harsin and no, not Major Applewhite.
Simply put, the Longhorns 17-14 record since 2010 might be the most criminal misuse of talent in the history of major college football.
Don't think so?
Well, Alabama has recruited No. 1, No. 5, No. 1 and No. 1 classes from 2009-12, respectively, and their record since 2010 is 28-4, which includes a national championship.
Want more?
Oregon's recruiting numbers are No. 32, No. 13, No. 9 and No. 16 over the same four years and they've gone 30-3 since 2010 and won back-to-back Pac-12 championships.

The official player list for all 14 SEC schools is out, and Toney Hurd, Jr. will be joining the usual suspects Johnny Manziel and Jake Matthews.
Hurd, a longtime anchor at the nickel position, will provide senior leadership in the secondary this season. The defensive backfield returns the most players of the three levels and looks to be the strength of the defense heading into 2013. Hurd is known for his hard hitting out of the backfield and had the game-sealing interception in Oxford against Ole Miss in 2012.
He has also embraced THE SHARK as his signature celebration move, and the craze is spreading amongst all kinds of Aggie dignitaries.
Toney is also winning the mantle of GBH's new favorite Aggie Football Tweeter now that EZ and Porter have moved on to the NFL.

William G. Cunningham, professor of educational leadership and counseling, is, he admits, in a bit of a rut, having taught the same introductory-level course for the past 25 years. But it's where he wants to be.
In fact, he enjoys introductory-level teaching so much that he co-authored "Educational Administration: A Problem-Based Approach" with Paula A. Cordeiro, dean at the University of San Diego.
Published in November by Allyn & Bacon, the work is a comprehensive textbook for introductory-level courses in educational administration. It shares the latest thinking in the field and relates it to significant real-life problems of practice.
"Most professors would prefer to avoid teaching an introductory class for a more advanced class," Cunningham said. But he has yet to tire of teaching the introductory-level course for the master's program in educational administration.
Although Cunningham's research and publications are focused on more advanced administrative topics, seeing firsthand the enthusiasm of the students who are new to the field has been an incentive for him to continue teaching at that level, he said.
Cunningham explains in the foreword of the book, "Nowhere is the transformation that occurs through education more clear than when a student stands on the threshold of a new subject and first begins to understand its power. That is the wonderful experience that so often occurs in this introductory-level class."
The book includes original expert reflections, vignettes, problems, diagnostic inventories and the latest research and practice.
"It is a true-to-theory practice treatise on effective leadership," Cunningham said, adding, "The book contains the essential information needed to be an effective educational leader, presented in a way that constantly challenges students to be reflective and to test themselves and their ability to apply their new-found knowledge."
Cunningham is the author of several books and many articles. His most recent co-written books are "The American School Superintendent: Leading in an Age of Pressure" (1997) and "Cultural Leadership: The Culture of Excellence in Education" (1993). He has taught at Old Dominion University since 1974.

If you hired a TaskRabbit in D.C. in the last two weeks and got someone wearing a skirt suit and a long-suffering facial expression, we might've found the answer.
Fast Company points to a rather boastful TaskRabbit tweet from yesterday evening, in which the odd-jobs platform disclosed an unusually large number of signups during the first days of the shutdown. Don't tell the dysfunction fetishists, or we'll never hear the end of it.
You know, around the time it hit "non-essential" federal employees that they wouldn't be getting paid for an indefinite period of time and they couldn't just ride this thing out watching Scandal re-runs.
Here's the exchange:
@jowyang We had a lot of furloughed workers (dozens of them) earning money during the shutdown.—
(@TaskRabbit) October 17, 2013
@jowyang No, it was totally organic. The week the shutdown happened we had 13,000 TaskRabbit applications in a single day! Huge record.—
(@TaskRabbit) October 17, 2013
That number does seem a little suspect. For one thing, it sounds like overall signups, not just D.C., and it doesn't indicate whether applicants actually booked any gigs. (If half the town was furloughed, how many tasks could there have been?) But a TaskRabbit spokesperson elaborated to CNBC shortly after the shutdown began:
"A few dozen government workers have applied and some are already running tasks," said Johnny Brackett, TaskRabbit's senior manager of marketing and communications. "The backgrounds vary from male to female, from government agencies, to other jobs."
He added that he's sure it's "safe to assume a significant percentage" of the 13,000 applications were federal workers. Sure, why not?
Glad this asinine political farce worked out well for somebody.

Social Radar is a platform that provides consumer analytics by tracking trends online. Infegy, the company behind the technology, is bringing it to the public. Using Social Radar, Infegy has produced an interactive weekly report on the current top 50 brands, based on positive online conversations. And it is not only a list 1 to 50 updated weekly with the brand names. Gender distribution, comment types (positive or negative) and conversation flow (number of posts about the brand each day during the past week) is shown. Clicking on a brand name brings you to a page of infographics focusing on that specific brand, where data shown on the first page is explored further. In addition there is a word cloud with different topics that were brought up when the brand was mentioned, each color coded based on whether it was brought up in a positive or negative mention of the brand.
There is a lot of information, but it is all well organized in infographics, so it's very easy to take it all in. It is fun to see the details of each brand, my personal favorite probably being the word clouds. Recently princess in relation to disney was brought up 487,000 times in one week, villains 122,000 times. Grey was mentioned with 100% positivity in reference to Nike while Brown was mentioned with only 20% positivity. This information provides a fascinating insight on consumer opinion and word choice.
I find this weekly brand report engaging, fun, and informative, and hopefully you do to. See it here.

Some Quincy University students got the chance to ditch the textbooks today in favor of a hands on classroom experience.
Nine education majors had the chance to shadow teachers at Quincy's Monroe Elementary.
QU students zeroed in on how teachers actually manage a classroom-- from dealing with rowdy kids to transitioning from one subject to the other.
The college students say the experience is priceless.
"Sitting in a classroom and learning out of a textbook, you really don't learn as much as you do getting in a classroom and making everything, it's just so worth while." said Jennifer Buss, an elementary and special education major.
"It gives me a chance to get in there and see the situations that occur, figure out how the teachers address them and how I can possibly address them when I'm finally there," said Abby Pyse an elementary and special education major.
QU students will also be shadowing teachers at Baldwin and Quincy Junior High in the coming months.

ALBANY, N.Y. - The New York SAFE Act heads to the State Supreme Court Wednesday, a judge denying an application for a preliminary injunction to the controversial act.
State Supreme Court Judge Thomas McNamara has denied the injunction against NY SAFE Act, saying, "Concerns raised should be issues raised in elective process. This is not a judicial issue." The judge says he has to deal with issues of law, not tragedies that have happened prompting SAFE Act, denying the application for preliminary injunction.
The judge heard breief arguments from both the plaintiff and the attorney representing the governor and legislators listed on the complaint before ultimately making his decision.
Opponents were presenting a constitutional challenge asking to motion for a preliminary injunction for taking any further action on the SAFE Act. The plaintiff, Robert Schultz, argues the way Governor Andrew Cuomo passed the act - waving the 3 day aging - is unconstitutional.
"Lawmakers did not read the bill, did not know content, message of necessity should not have been used and it was part of a 'deal,'" Schultz, who is not an attorney, argued in court. "This act does not take my so-called assault weapon as long as I register it. Where was the need for speed on January 14?"
Schultz reminded the judge, "50 individual counties going on record calling for the repeal of this act."
The Attorney representing Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders says the preliminary injunction of the SAFE Act is "offensive" and the ground the plaintiff is relying on is insufficient.
The Governor's attorney argued that the SAFE Act is exceedingly more than a ban on assault weapons.
At one point, the judge needed to interrupt both attorneys, warning then both to stay on point.
The Governor's office is not commenting on the ruling. Shultz says he plans to appeal the case to a higher court.
A petition signed by over 1,200 New Yorkers claims that the gun law is unconstitutional because lawmakers rushed to pass the legislation, without waiting for public comment, also arguing many provisions inside the act.
Those provisions include the ban of "high-capacity magazines" regardless of when they were made or sold. The maximum capacity for a detachable magazine was reduced from ten rounds to seven.
Ammunition dealers will be required to do background checks, similar to those for gun buyers. Dealers are required to report all sales, including amounts, to the state. The ammunition background checks take effect in January of next year.
The law requires creation of a registry of assault weapons. New Yorkers who already own such weapons would be required to register their guns with the state.
There will be increased sentences for gun crimes, including upgrading the offense for taking a gun on school property from a misdemeanor to a felony.
And finally, the SAFE Act allows law enforcement officials to preemptively seize a person's firearms without a warrant if they have probable cause the person may be mentally unstable or intends to use the weapons to commit a crime.

Natural Born Killers
Plodding Through the Courts
But, in the end, the question over culpability would be settled in and by the courts. Columnists and panelists could pontificate as much as they wanted from either side of the political spectrum, their views likely had little to do with the case's final outcome.
On January 23, 1997, the 21st Judicial District Court ruled in favor of Stone and the other defendants. The court found that "the law simply does not recognize a cause of action such as that in Byers' petition." An immediate appeal was filed by Byers and her attorneys.
The suit continued despite Byers's death later that year and, on May 15, 1998, the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal tossed out the lower court's ruling. They ruled that Natural Born Killers fell within the "incitement" exception to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech; that is, it advocated "the use of imminent force or unlawful action." The appeals judges determined that Stone's intent was to incite people to commit violent crimes, and was therefore not eligible for First Amendment protection. The case was allowed to proceed to trial.
Stone's attorneys petitioned the Louisiana Supreme Court to hear the case, claiming that, "No court in America has ever held a filmmaker or film distributor liable for injuries allegedly resulting from the imitation of a film." Their argument went on to say, "The specter of such boundless liability would cause those who create movies, music, books, and other creative works to avoid controversial or provocative subjects."
However, the State Supreme Court was unswayed by their arguments. In October of that year the seven justices voted unanimously to decline review the Court of Appeals' decision, thus allowing it to stand. Stone and his attorneys then took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court where, on March 8, 1999, the High Court also declined to intervene. This also meant that the circuit court's decision would stand. This was considered a victory by the Byers family but the issue would be far from settled.
Four months later, Stone agreed to give a deposition on his side in the case, including his motives for making the movie. His attorneys said he would come to Louisiana to file the deposition by the end of the year. Plaintiff attorney Joe Simpson said, among other things, he wanted to see materials related to how Stone and Time Warner were promoting the movie. "We have to show that he intended to provoke violence," Simpson told reporters.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs cited a recent precedent handed down by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1997. In the case of Rice v. Paladin, the court ruled that a book publishing company, in this case Paladin, could be held liable for the actions of readers of a book that was essentially a manual for contract killers. The book, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors, was linked to a murder-for-hire, despite the publisher's contention that the book also provided a valuable educational service for law enforcement personnel and writers of mysteries and true crime books.
However, Rodney Smolla, a law professor representing the Rice family in the Hit Man case, cautioned the Byers family attorneys that the two cases were very different. He said movies like Natural Born Killers are intended "to entertain people and a murder manual is meant to train people."

Verizon is Also Getting the iPad CDMA or LTE(0)
According to a Bloomberg report, Verizon Wireless will also sell a version of the iPad that directly connects to their network. It is unclear on whether it will be based off of CDMA or LTE technologies.
Verizon will get an embedded chip in the iPad for use on its network, Francis Shammo, chief financial officer of Verizon Communications Inc., the parent of the wireless unit, said today in an interview in New York. IPad users currently need an extra device to connect to Verizon's network. Shammo declined to say when the change may happen.
Verizon Will Finally Carry the Apple iPhone 4 [Confirmed](0)
Verizon today announced that it will finally be carrying the Apple iPhone 4 at a press event in New York City.

The promotion requires a monthly data plan and a two-year customer agreement.

For the last month it has been Calipari, Calipari in the bluegrass. Now Rick Pitino, one of the only coaches in America with a profile/ego to rival that of the new Big Blue coach has found himself at the center of local, and national headlines. The extortion side of this at the least is a serious issue. Whether or not Pitino was nailing Sypher, I personally could careless. That is both persons personal lives and I am not concerned with what they do on their own time. It isn't a crime to have an affair, it is to attempt and blackmail someone.
The last time these two programs met, Denny Crum was pacing the sidelines and Mateen Cleaves, Mo Peterson and Charlie Bell led Tom Izzo's Spartans to a 69-57 win in East Lansing. Michigan State went on to lose to Duke in the National Semifinals that year (1999) and win it all the following year (2000). Ten years later, Louisville (31-5) is now the team sporting multiple future NBA draft picks and will face Michigan State (29-6) Sunday in the Elite Eight.

Louisville fans can take comfort that this group of Cardinals will not go down without a fight. The Cards displayed real basketball toughness en route to Sunday evening's 79-72 victory over Siena in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at University of Dayton Arena. The win propelled the Cards to the Midwest Regional Semifinals against Arizona (the lowest seeded team remaining in the entire tournament) next Friday at 7:05 p.m at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Louisville and Morehead State played each other for the second time this season on Friday, and pretty much played the exact same game. Morehead hung with the Cards for the entire first half, trailing by just two at the break, 35-33. The second half was all Louisville, and number one seeds moved to 100-0 all-time against 16-seeds, as the Cardinals dominated the Eagles 39-21 in the half for the final 74-54 margin. Samardo Samuels led Louisville (29-5) with ... Coming off a double overtime thriller that ended early Saturday morning, Siena is going to need to dig deep to find the stamina that will enable them to keep up with the Cardinals. Louisville's relentess defensive pressure wears teams down as evidenced by their last three games in which they either trailed at the half (final two BIG EAST tournament games) or led by just two (Morehead State), but went on to win big as their opponents succombed to the pressure and folded in the second half....

At one point during the season the experts were saying that the Big East could get as many as nine teams in the Big Dance. Well, that did not happen, but for the seven teams that got in they were all rewarded with at least a No.6 seed. Watch out for Chattanooga, this year's Cinderella team - that was a joke.

No SpiderTech in 2013... back in 2014?
Awful news, especially late in October as roster spots are hard to find. There were some great new up and coming riders (Houle, Boivin and Boily come to mind), hope they can find some new places as a year off at that age will be terrible for developpment. I feel bad also for François Parisien who had a really good end of the season and for US Champ Duggan who signed there some time ago. They will not race in 2013, trying instead to hunt for new corporate sponsorship. How does not racing in 2013 help a team to go WorldTour in 2014? It was good to have a ProConti Canadian team while it lasted. I hope that their plan goes well and that they do find sponsors, but I'm not very confident.

Heritage Field opened this week, more than a year behind schedule, on the site of the old Yankee Stadium the last of which was demolished in 2010 and nearly every inch, from the pavement stones underfoot to the three natural grass ball fields, has been elaborately designed to pay homage to the Yankees and their celebrated former home.

I'm on it! With NYC being the fashion capital, it's absolutely imperative that you "bring it" while maneuvering through the Concrete Jungle, but still keep that much-needed comfort level. Now, while I'm not a NYC girl myself, I have several friends that are and they've thought me the art of "The Switch"…i.e. the stashing of a pair of heels in your tote just in case of a special occasion, like say, an afternoon play. With that being said, let dive in shall we:
I don't know about you but when I think of "cute" and comfortable", I automatically think of this quintessential summer piece: The Maxidress. If a maxi is more your speed, this one is a sure fire hit. This two-toned cutie mixes styles by giving you comfort on top in a gray jersey fabric and a sheer girly-vibe on the bottom which I love. Pair this summer staple with cute silver accessories, cat-eyed shades and of course, your tote which houses these HOTT multi-colored wedges!
The 2nd option is a super comfy, wide leg pant in a light and fun fabric. These pants definitely do the talking here so I would keep it simple by pairing it with a basic white tank and a pair of equally basic cognac brown sandals.
Add in gold hoops, a gold men's inspired watch, some funky multicolored shades, and a splash of this gorgeous orange lip color to add just a few pops of color. Right before you head to the play, pull out these cute heels from your orange tote, and you're set.
Last but certainly not least, is Option 3 which I befittingly call "the Sexy Tomboy". This 'fit is a bit more edgy than the 1st two options but still embodies the femininity we ladies possess.
The fitted, stripped skirt works double-duty by showcasing those curves and keeping you comfortable. Now add in the tomboy aspect with a loose tank and comfy spiked loafers. Throw on a denim vest, pile on the arm candy and add aviators for a cool, laid-back look while ducking in and out of the shops. After you jump in a cab en route to dabble in the arts, replace your funky loafers with the popular Zara heels to amp up the dressy factor a notch.
And there you have it! I hope these options help you with your upcoming day trip, dear Fashion Bomb reader. I know you're going to enjoy yourself and did I mention…I'm slightly jealous.

very nice
i like the post..welldone
Great post. Your picks are practical and stylish. Plus you have a nice writing style.
great options!!
Love these outfits
Great Options! Love your writing voice! You nailed it I#4!
Love the outfits and writing voice.
i like the post (especially the first look!), but you have a typo. Your friends "taught you" not "thought you"
LOVE all the options! Wonderful job Intern #5!
I like Intern 5′s style and voice. The 2nd option is so chic. The grammar leaves a little to be desired (e.g. taught not thought; a fitted,striped skirt, not stripped skirt), but that's nothing an AP style guide and some proofing can't fix. Way to go #5!
Great job! Hurray for Intern 5!
Great job and my favorite choice is number one.
Ok-k-kay Intern #5- I see you! I like your writing style. The idea of the "switch" is right on target and helpful to mention. All three looks seem comfy but also have style. The third one is my absolute fave. My one caveat for you- be sure to spell check and proofread! *sorry, I'm an English teacher by day* :)
I like Intern #5′s style choices.
Awesome job, Intern 5! You may very well be my favorite!
Can't get past the typos and grammatical errors. Not reading any more posts from Intern 5. I'm rolling with #1 and #4.
…i know we all make typos…i do on my own blog sometimes…but in a competition that can be fatal.
I personally would wear all these looks, and I think your writing is spectacular as well. My one criticism (I hate using that word) is that I think the looks lacked versatility. For instance, all three looks featured tanks, and they all have the same "feel"
I really LOVE the choices, but her writing is something that made me pause a few times while reading, (grammar, typos, and awkward descriptions) but I did love a few of her action phrases.
Adored her choices as well. But I too, can't ignore the grammatical errors and a few phrases was all too reminiscent of a particular intern.
Ugh – I had to stop and read over sentences several times because of the grammar and typos. No bueno.
That aside, the looks are cute although I agree with SPA – they all give me the same vibe. Not quite as versatile as other posts.
Although these are great pick, intern 4 has my heart :)
Love look 2 :)
I absolutely love the wide legged trousers! they look so fun!
I like the choices… the grammar errors leaves a little to be desired though.
Great picks and way to go for bring up the "SWITCH"! More people should get into it… instead of trying to be 6 inches taller all day and doing the "my feet hurt" walk at the event where being 6 inches taller is necessary.
Cute outfit options (I love those DKNY canvas shoes) and I love that you included the "taxi shoe switch" – very NYC.
I like all these looks.
Love Love the outfits…..
I'm all for Intern #5!!! Every look is bringing me life! I have a upcoming trip and I plan on ticking each look!!! I need more post like this! Rock on!
Love love love the 1st pick…
Def meant *rocking*! See, playas F up too! ;-)
Intern 5 all day, everyday!!
I recently moved to DC from the South and I am DEFINITELY going to take these options into consideration when I make my first trip to NY. I absolutely love all three!! The grammar didn't phase me a bit on the picture you were bringing to life for me. OAN: Thanks for the insight on the flats while putting my heels in tote.
I like options 1 and 3. Number two is kinda boring. I didn't notice the errors until I read the comments. Even though it says "though" and not "taught" I still read it right in my mind because that's what makes sense, if anyone can understand that…
picks are nice! BUT I WOULD NEVER WEAR OPEN SANDALS WALKING AROUND MANHATTAN. YOUR FOOT WILL BE BLACK BY END OF DAY
Love all of these options! great job #5!
This is a GREAT POST! Its rare that I like every option suggested! Great job, I think I'm team INTERN 5…
I love the choices, and would add a thin, fashionable layer to each for air conditioning and after theater dinner.
I think Claire saved the best for last :)
luv it all…actually makes me want to shop…job well done…
Well done intern 5
Love the clothes…well done!
The horrible writing <<<<
Grammatical errors only means she needs to slow down & proofread…it doesn't super cede her awesome writing voice & style. Love it! Love intern 5.
Yeah, I agree…1 or 2 grammatical errors doesn't trump her evident gift of fashion & blogging! Sounds like some ladies tried out & failed lol! I loved it intern 5. Good luck stylish lady!
Her choices werent that bad, but given this is a contest, I'd expect her to bring more of an A game….
Intern 5, where do I start? With the inexcusable grammar and spelling, or lack of individuality and innovative ideas?Take notes, because im about to "read you your rights" (puts reading glasses on). In this contest, I have seen that the Interns (and the person who chose them) are very basic; choosing safe topics and deriving their ideas from things that have already been done and are still being done. The fact of the matter is, Intern 5, is that this post, as well as the others, are "busted and disgusted", as well as "tired and expired". My advice, go back to the drawing board, or maybe even the magazine and the website you stole these ideas from, and think of something original. Once you have done that, maybe then you will be a "decent writer". Your "BonQuiQui" vocabulary is utterly ridiculous, even the local homeless uneducated prostitute could write better than you. Not only is your writing an issue, let's get into the outfits that you chose. What event is someone attending with those outfits, besides Black Friday at Walmart, because that is exactly what I would put on as a "I'm just going to the damn store" outfit. This is worse than when Britney was having that meltdown and shaved her head, IT'S THAT DEPLORABLE. If I was Claire, I would sit you down and smack your hand and tell you to go to time-out, because this is absolutely and utterly ridiculous. Next time you decide to write a blog, or write anything, put down the gun you go hunting in the woods with to kill your food, and pick up the Websters dictionary. I promise it will help. Think of this as an intervention, me trying to help you. Like how the judge was being hard on Lindsey Lohan. Your Lindsey Lohan, I'm the judge, and you just got sentenced, bitches. MUAHHHHHHHHHH

Puppy stolen from locked car

Puppy? Locked vehicle? It might have been saved rather than "taken"
on Aug 25, 2013 at 5:54 am
Hoping someone may have taken the puppy out of the hot vehicle that its owner locked him in, in the middle of the day, so save its life.

When a parent leaves a child in a locked car, there are charges pressed. I believe there should be charges pressed for owners who leave an animal in a locked car.

My master's degree in history has only been tangentially helpful in my making a living in the years since I earned it. Still, I regard it as a thing of great value. It provides a perspective sort of like a needle-reading graph printout, with which one can see peaks and valleys over various spans of time. One is thereby better equipped to determine which periods in the story of our species really constituted "unprecedented times."
Every age - actually every day - has its share of crises and harbingers of crises. Marvelous creatures that we are, however, we usually find some way to address them that staves off their worst possible outcomes. Once in a while, we miss. Witness the two world wars of the last century, or the Great Plague of 1665 in England.
I can truly say that we've never seen a confluence of factors quite like this. A president who is committed to a mad revolutionary utopianism, but is so riddled with narcissism and laziness that he can't even execute his ideological vision without botching it. A Congress divided between those who basically share his vision and those who oppose it albeit haltingly due to their incredulity at the sheer toxicity of what they're up against. A cultural infrastructure that likewise has signed on to that destructive vision.
In June 2012, that president's speeches have become exercises in disconnect, reaffirmations of his obstinate refusal to see the inherent failure of his vision. The rest of his behavior exudes disconnect as well: the near-constant fundraisers and celebrity parties, the golf outings, even as Fast and Furious threatens to get his Attorney General cited for contempt of Congress, even as the national-security leaks condemn the country to a vulnerability of apocalyptic proportions, even in the wake of multiple bankruptcies of "green" "companies" subsidized by borrowed government money in pursuit of a fantasy posing as science, even as the signature FHer-care monstrosity remains vehemently hated by most Americans and is likely to have its core provision found unconstitutional, even as illegal aliens are given an open invitation to take American jobs at a time when unemployment has been north of 8 percent for 40 months.
What this singularly dangerous figure has done is increase the likelihood on every side that something disastrous will occur. An increased likelihood in any one arena of our national life would be alarming enough.
Pondering our odds of squeaking through without one of the myriad manifestations of precariousness with which he has saddled us doing us in is obviously a grim exercise. Nonetheless, the alternative is to be caught unawares when the moment of reckoning arrives.

I liked the Ansah pick. We need playmakers people. A solid NFL franchise understands that dynamic and will always favor a playmaker in the early rounds of the draft. It's not how many sacks the guy had last year at BYU that counts - it how well he projects as a wide-9 DE for the next 3 - 5 years in the NFL. He "projects" really well - so good job Lions !
Similarly, I think Robert Woods at the #36 looks awfully tasty right here - the extremely productive and cagy receiver from USC. He could finally nail down the #2 receiver spot, and that is a key, now that Burleson is hurt / aging. There aren't any solid #2's available anymore in free agency, and I just really get a good feeling about Woods opposite Calvin Johnson, and along with Broyles / Burleson when they're finally healthy.
We can go OL later in the draft. But when a guy like Woods is there for a team like the Lions who need a 2WR opposite Calvin ? You gotta pull that trigger.
I also am thinking Denard Robinson in like round 5. Again, I see this shaping up as a draft where the Lion's go "playmaker" in most of their picks.
As for all the peeps on here drooling over OL prospects etc.. I might be wrong, but I think peeps are discounting how well the Lions are developing players at those positions. I mean, we picked up Fox, who had a lot going for him except for the injury, when he came out, and now that he's finally healthy and ready to start after 4 years of development - everyone is like booooo, the Lions need a tackle ! C'mon peeps - lets give credit when credit is due, and give Fox a chance to play, and Nagy and Austin, and Reiff etc..
Lets get playmakers when they are there to be had in this draft ! I'm hoping for Woods or another WR playmaker at #36.
