Hey all! Summer is riding on our coat tails. In a few weeks, Mother Nature can give us a valid excuse for all this heat we've been experiencing. But it seems she competed with a few celebs this weekend who brought a little fire themselves.
From club appearances to Sunday strolls, let's take a look at who kept our fashion thermometers at an all time high and who came up ice cold.
First up is Draya Michele, who opted for a nude get up this go 'round for her Power Lunch event yesterday. She wore a champaign chiffon top and asymmetric skirt by Jaide Clothing and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti gold mirror patent leather pumps. With slightly tousled hair and a light beat, Draya proved this week that one doesn't need a multi-colored bandage dress to stand out. Sometimes, slaydom can be evoked through subtle tones. Hot!
Nazanin Mandi and her curly mane also hopped aboard the flesh toned train while sporting a $218 The Reformation 'Tabac' jumper. The fit was perfect, and the color compliments her complexion effortlessly. My only pet peeve is not being able to see her shoes.
Cassie went all the way to Istanbul this weekend for a nightclub appearance. The singer and Ciroc girl vamped it up in a black belted Jean Paul Gaultier dress with gold piping down the sides. While she looked lovely, hmm… I feel like we've been seeing her in a lot of black lately. A little pastel goes a long way, Cassie!
Adrienne's become quite the Fashion Bomb regular, hasn't she? Well, her style choices as of late have been noteworthy, and this one is no different. Taking in the performances at the American Ballet Theatre in New York City on the weekend, the TV personality stunned in a cobalt Catherine Malandrino dress and $850 silver Jimmy Choo sandals. The color is eye-catching, an the tailoring is impeccable, no? Hot!
Rocsi Diaz channeled her inner flower-child with this boho chic look while walking the streets of Santa Monica Beach on the weekend. The ET correspondent wore a floor length Rag & Bone skirt and a $175 Miguelina scalloped hem lace crop top. Wavy hair and oversized sunnies perfectly punctuated this easy, breezy look.
Cosmo Fashion Market Director, Shiona Turini, trotted the streets of Morroco while we can only admire through her Instagram feed. Rocking a pink Donna Karan short suit and $875 Valentino 'Rockstud' double sandals, we can only hope we look this chic during those scorching summer days. Hot!
Winonah de Jong strolled the streets of Milan in her usual casual steeze. The footballer's wife and style savant kept it cool in a $298 Current/Elliot 'Miner Destroy' jumper, Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, a Chanel Lego clutch and Céline sunglasses.
And last, but not least, is Lilly Ghalichi, who took to Vegas to finalize deals on an upcoming jewelry line. Exciting. Of course, not snapping an obligatory selfie would be out of the question. The 'Shahs of the Sunset' star wore a black crop top, a $60 Rehab skirt with a Chanel brooch, and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti sandals. Hmm… not a huge fan of the crop top, but the skirt is everything.
That's it for this weekend folks! Who were your faves?

Delaware River Partners OK Billion Gallon Release for Trout
WEST TRENTON, New Jersey, July 22, 2008 (ENS) – With summer temperatures soaring in the upper Delaware River basin, Pennsylvania and its neighbors – Delaware, New York, New Jersey and New York City – unanimously agreed to allow New York's Department of Environmental Conservation to release up to a billion gallons of water under the flexible flow management plan to lower water temperatures.
The measure is designed to protect the trout in the upper reaches of the Delaware River from higher temperatures that result when water levels are low.
"It is imperative that the commission continues to work together and protect the recreational opportunities that span the length of the Delaware River, as well as the drinking water supplies that serve communities throughout the basin," said Pennsylvania DEP Deputy Secretary Cathleen Myers Thursday, announcing Pennsylvania's intention to sign the agreement.
"The cooperative effort was necessary to safeguard the habitat of the aquatic life in the river and to illustrate the adaptive management style incorporated in the flexible flow management plan that was adopted last year," Myers said.

If water in the basin needs to be cooled, the New York state agency can release water from the Cannonsville Reservoir anytime between now and September 15, but not by more than one billion gallons in total.
It is anticipated that this amount of water should be enough to address the needs of the upper main stem of the Delaware River under extreme heat conditions.
Releases will occur when the three day average of forecast high temperatures in the vicinity of Hancock, New York, exceeds 90 degrees and the minimum exceeds 65 degrees.
The East and West branches of the Delaware River converge at Hancock from opposing directions to form the headwaters of the river which eventually flows to the Atlantic Ocean.
Air temperature forecasts will come from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation's meteorological staff working in conjunction with the National Weather Service.
The new plan temporarily modifies the flexible flow management plan already in place to control reservoir releases.
Designed to accommodate suitable temperatures and habitat for trout in the west branch of the Delaware and the upper sections of the east branch and Neversink River, the existing plan will not work this year, officials say.
Because of the extremely high water temperatures that have been forecast, an augmentation of the amount of water allocated for trout was deemed necessary.
In the lower part of the basin, the Delaware River Basin Commission last week permanently designated the Lower Delaware as Significant Resource Waters under the commission's Special Protection Waters program.
The unanimous action taken July 16 at the commission's public business meeting establishes numeric values for existing water quality in the 76 mile long stretch of river extending from the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area downstream to the head of tide at Trenton, New Jersey.
The measure also expands coverage of the commission's anti-degradation regulations to include the entire 197 mile non-tidal Delaware River from Hancock south to Trenton.
"This permanent designation clearly demonstrates the Delaware River Basin Commission's long-term objective of keeping our clean water clean by ensuring that future discharges to the Lower Delaware will have no measurable change on existing high water quality," said the commission's Executive Director Carol Collier.
She said, "We believe this action, along with the previous Special Protection Waters designations, establishes the longest stretch of anti-degradation policy on any river in the nation."
The Special Protection Waters program is intended to ensure that scenic, recreational, ecological, and water supply values are preserved through stricter control of wastewater discharges and reporting requirements.
The initial Special Protection Waters regulations adopted in 1992 focused on controlling point sources of pollution. In 1994, the regulations were amended to add language dealing with the complex issue of nonpoint source pollutants that are found in runoff, especially after heavy rains.
The July 16 rulemaking decision has been years in the making, beginning with the efforts leading up to President Bill Clinton signing legislation into law adding key segments of the Lower Delaware and selected tributaries to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in November 2000.
As adopted, the rule requires new or expanding facilities to demonstrate that their discharges will not cause measurable change to existing water quality.
The Delaware River Basin Commission was formed in 1961 by compact among the four basin states and the federal government. Creation of the commission marked the first time that the federal government and a group of states joined together as equal partners in a river basin planning, development, and regulatory agency.

Much like, err, evolution, guitar playing takes all types. Will Jones – guitarist with Nottingham's widescreen indie-types Amber Run – is an effects man.
"When I discovered reverb and delay, that changed the whole way I played," he tells MusicRadar. "I realised I didn't have to play scales as fast as possible... it's more about the song's sound, and the textures."
Formed to serve childhood friend/rhythm man Joe Keogh's cinematic songwriting, the band have signed with RCA and have an album in the can with Mike Crossey (Foals, Arctic Monkeys), due Autumn. "It really took off quickly for us," admits Will. "But people respond to good songs, and they always will do. You won't get anywhere if you've got bad songs. It's quite basic advice, but it's important."
Panoramic, delay-laden anthems such as Heaven showcase their talents, and anyone that's lost hours tweaking repeat settings will understand Will's special bond with his Eventide Space and Strymon TimeLine pedals (complementing a Gretsch Power Jet and Fender Hot Rod Deluxe). This territory is ruled by The Edge, so it makes perfect sense when Will name-checks the beanie- bonced guitarist, and the likes of Explosions In The Sky and Sigur Rós, as major influences.
"I just can't get enough of reverbs with 20-second decays," enthuses Will. "I like it where you only have to play three notes in a song, and then you don't have to do anything else!"
For more information visit the official Amber Run website, or connect with the band on Facebook and Twitter.Read more about

Colorado Urban Winefest draws engaging crowd
I stopped along the runoff-swollen Colorado River a few nights ago while on the way home from the Colorado Urban Winefest in Denver, just to listen to the voice of the river.
A calm minute was appreciated after the hectic but fun Colorado Wine Week 2014 (June 1-7), a week that featured wine-related events every night (especially if you count the 50 or so restaurants offering the Sips and Snacks small-plate pairings for $20 and under) and a few quiet moments alone were welcome.
The week's events, sponsored by the Colorado Association for Viticulture and Enology (CAVE) and the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board, began June 1 when more than 150 people turned out on a Sunday evening for the Farm-to-Turntable Keg Wine party at Ben Parsons' Infinite Monkey Theorem urban winery in Denver's upscale River North (RiNo) District.
A few days later, another, even more-vocal group showed up at the Green Russell on Denver's Larimer St. to cheer on their favorite mixologist in the always-entertaining wine-cocktail competition. The winning cocktail, featuring the WTF (Wine That's Fun) Red blend from winemaker Michelle Cleveland of Creekside Cellars, was created by Robert Corbari of the Populist, also a bar and eatery on Denver's Larimer St.
The highlight of the week, of course, was the fourth annual Colorado Urban Winefest, summer sister to the Colorado Mountain Winefest each September in Palisade. The Denver event again this year took over the grassy spaces at Infinity Park in Glendale, where winelovers were blessed by cool temperatures and overcast but not rainy skies.
As might be obvious from the accompanying photo, observers said attendance was up some 10 percent or more from last year, reflecting the matter of event-goers growing comfortable with the event and the location.
"I think people finally are identifying with the park and the Winefest,"said Jacob Harkins of Godot Communications, the event's marketing firm. "We've had a great turnout this year, and I think people are starting to get how serious Colorado wines can be."
The attendance was strong all day and there were manageable lines at most of the booths, part of the attraction being the knowledge shared by winemakers with customers curious about Colorado wines, meads, and hard ciders (there was a good crowd in front of Paonia's Big Bs Hard Ciders all day long).
Given this year's growth and a positive outlook for the future, Urban Winefest organizers already are exploring ways to fit more people into the park's present configuration, which has options to expand. As if proving how popular this event can be once the word gets out, there still were people coming in as the event entered its final hour.
It's a fun event – very people oriented, as winefests tend to be–and there were lots of good wines to share and remember. And some fun stories. I ran into Sheena Sayed and David Nix, both from Denver, at the Mesa Park Vineyards booth, where they were buying a couple of wines from winery co-owner Brooke Webb.
Sheena said this was their second Urban Winefest. "Last year was our very first date," she beamed. "We had a wonderful time."
And to prove her words, she held out her left hand, on which she was wearing a golfball-sized diamond.
Not everybody gets engaged at Winefest, at least not in that sense, although no one can blame you if something very good happens. It just shows you have much of a family industry Colorado wine continues to be.

EURO 2016 Referee Appointments for Matches 25 & 26: Královec and Skomina to close Group A
90 Comments:
Predictions for Monday:ReplyDelete
SVK-ENG: Velasco, FO: Kassai
RUS-WAL: Kuipers, FO: Bognar
Today's appointments could indicate that team Atkinson will be retained for Group F:ReplyDelete
Group A: Fully appointed
Group B: English National Team
Group C: Atkinson handled GER - UKR
Group D: Clattenburg handles CZE - CRO
Group E: Clattenburg handled BEL - ITA
After a solid first appearance, Skomina gets Switzerland - France. It sounds quite good on the paper of course, but looking at the standings one must notice that France have already qualified, Switzerland with 4 points can be content with a draw... so very likely a game in which there wont be a big fight.ReplyDelete
So one could say that this is still a "minor" appointment in a certain way. Perhaps this is the strategy for referees who will get important games in KO stage. They are in a certain way "protected" by committee. Am I wrong? Skomina could have aspired to something more.
On the other hand, very likely referees with important games at MD3 will stop there their EURO tournament. What do you think?Replies
I don't really understand/support your theory. In my opinion, the referees are (should be) appointed on MD3 according to their performances and abilities, but without much planning for the next round.Delete
Then everyone, who showed two good performances, deserves to be appointed in the KO stage. IMO, there is no problem to appoint up to 12 different referees there. And there will be probably some low-profile matches in R16, where e.g. Karasev or Hategan could referee, if their second match goes well.
Personally I agree with Chefren; I think that is good strategy to preserve one referee from high risk and huge criticism if he is planned for 16th round of quarter final. If he is appointed for a tough match and something bad happened he is bourn for 16th round.Delete
My predictions for the remaining games:ReplyDelete
Group B:
SVK-ENG: Marciniak
RUS-WAL: Hategan
Group C:
NIR-GER: Eriksson
POL-UKR: Collum
Group D:
CZE-TUR: Brych
CRO-ESP: Kuipers
Group E:
ITA-IRL: Turpin
SWE-BEL: Velasco
Group F:
POR-HUN: Atkinson
AUT-ISL: Moen
Of course, everything depends on the results and who is already surely qualified after MD2. But I must say, it is difficult to find matches that deserve Turpin and Moen, with all due respect.Replies
Personally, I would not appoint a team from Great Britain (SCO/IRL) for a crucial game in Group C where another team from Great Britain (NIR) has the chance to qualify for the Round of 16.Delete
It would certainly help, if the results today and tomorrow take out some of the tension in MD3, e.g. wins for Spain and Croatia.Delete
UKR-POL is already a possible match for Turpin or Moen, I think, with Ukraine eliminated and Poland nearly through.
Marciniak probably for gr. E/F.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDeleteReplies
But Romania and Albania surely won't be the winner of group A.Delete
Out of interest, how much do additional assistant referees get per game?ReplyDeleteReplies
Don't know how up-to-date the data is and most likely there are other salaries for EURO 2016.Delete
Thanks for responding as always! :)Delete
Last question- do the officials get their salary in their own country's currency? For example, Clattenburg will he get his salary in Pounds?Delete
How aboutReplyDelete
SLVK-ENG Marciniak
RUS-WAL Hategan
UKR-POL Velasco C.
NIRL-GER Ericsson
KRO-ESP Brych
TCH-TUR Karasev
HUN-POR Atkinson
ICL-AUT Moen
ITA-IRL Turpin
SWE-BEL Collum
What I do not really understand is why they do not concentrate referees from countries which were not qualifified for the EURO in the last maches. Cause the next round should be done by all those referees from countries which are in the 2nd rund and might be out of the tournament when their national Teams go through to the quarter-final like Rizzoli, Brych, Clattenburg, Marciniak, Turpin (?) and Maybe Hategan, Kralovec, Kassai.Replies
I do not think that referees from countries that qualified for the tournament need to be appointed earlier: There will be two rest days between the Group Stage and the Round of 16 making each referee with a nomination in Group E or F on Matchday 3 appointable for the first games in the Round of 16. Even in the case that the own National Team (or the possible opponent in the Quarter Final) will play on the first matchday in the Round of 16, there will be enough other matches available.Delete
Furthermore, each referee should also be appointable in the Quarter-Final: During EURO 2012, Proenca, Rizzoli and Webb handled Quarter-Final matches although their National Teams were still participating in the tournament. The same counts for Fandel and Rosetti in 2008, Frisk in 2004, Collina, Garcá Aranda Encinar, Jol and Melo Pereira in 2000 and so on.
As to Collum: His Assistant Referee 1 is from Ireland - I reckon that he will not be an option for an appointment in Group E.
Good arguments! Thx!Delete
Kralovec missed elbow to the head in 4th min.ReplyDeleteReplies
Agreed. It was YC.Delete
Now YC for a foul borderline to RC, in my opinion. Raised leg hitting the shoulder of the opponent, YC can be still accepted, however, I think.
Krlivec didn't see ilegal use of hands. Elbow by Albanian player in 3'. That was for mandatory YC.ReplyDelete
Min 3' - ALB #2 hits ROU #2 with his elbow, Kralovec misses it completely.ReplyDelete
Min 6´ - ALB #8 karate kicks ROU #5 in the ribs, correct YC. Could have been RC if it was later in the match.
Minute 12': correct offside flag by AR2 Mokrusch.ReplyDeleteReplies
AR2 was late with flag, but decision was correct.Delete
Minute 23' I think a very good ONSIDE decision, allowing a promising attack by ALB.Delete
Before this chance missed foul on ROU #22, could have a crucial mistake if Albania scored.Delete
22' Wrong decision from AR1. That wasn't foul. Albanian player start on the ball.Delete
23' Two decisions in 7,8 seconds for AR2. First was good. I think second was ofside.
@Keyser SozeDelete
I didn't see replay but in live it looks like correct decision to play on.
25': YC correct, Collum didn't give a YC for Evra in a similar situation.ReplyDelete
And no YC for Lichtsteiner is also correct.
France players rip off 2 Swiss jerseys. Both situations NO YC ! Strange?ReplyDelete
Minute 45' after the goal scored by Albania: Kralovec talked to Sidiropoulos, I don't know what happened.ReplyDeleteReplies
Skomina and FO allowed a SUI player to re-enter the field of play only 1-2 meters away from the spot FRA was executing a throw-in. More attention needed.ReplyDeleteReplies
1) Was it a corner or goalkick in the 23rd minute- very difficult decision a corner was given very close?ReplyDelete
2) Was there a yellow card for stephan lichtsteiner in 27th minute?
I think no yc was right. it was far in the opponent half and match the generous line. I think Skomina does a good job so far, makes the game run well .ReplyDelete
Correct yc for romanian #2.ReplyDeleteReplies
Decision was corect. I have one question. That was 1-2 meters in front of AR1. Why he came there to measure 9.15m ?Delete
AR1 Slysko very active. Now I think that he correctly reported a foul and YC (holding), btw he joined the pitch giving instructions to players without problems. You can see the experience he has...ReplyDelete
58' Sidiropoulos didn't see clear foul in front of him.ReplyDelete
72': crucial mistake by AR2? Romania was about to score, flag was raised.ReplyDelete
Must be rewatched but it looked like ONSIDE.
Wrong offside by ar2. Sad for Romania, clear goal chanceReplyDelete
min 72´ - wrong offside call on Romania attack in a clear goalscoring situation.ReplyDelete
Yes it was an onside. Crucial mistake.ReplyDelete
What a sprint by Kralovec...ReplyDelete
85' problems in managing the wall by Kralovec, too long time and at the end player didn't respect the spray...ReplyDelete
No YC for Schär correct, it was unintentionally.ReplyDelete
Skomina: 8,5ReplyDelete
Praprotnik: 8,4
Vukan: 8,3
Jug: 8,4
Vincic: 8,4
Fritz: 8,4
Wrong YC from Skomina to Koscielny in 83'. I don't think he even committed the foul. Minutes later problem in managing the wall - needed whole minute and then placed it no more than 8 meters from the foul spot.ReplyDelete
90+2' Džemaili shouts for a penalty. Sagna was pulling his shirt strongly but in my opinion it had no impact on Swiss player. Good call in my opinion.ReplyDelete
Overall, very strong Skomina today.Replies
I guess you've forgotten that Lichsteiner was punished for doing that exact same thing. But yeah, anything to justify Skomina's error.Delete
CLEAR penalty missed from Skomina and AAR2 at min. 90+2. Unfortunately it denies SUI the chance to be 1st on the group.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, then we differ much on that one. :)Delete
I agree with this analysis: clear holding.Delete
I agree. Clear penalty which he must have seen as I believe he made gestures to say he wouldn't give it.Delete
People seem to have forgotten that Lichsteiner was punished for doing that exact same thing.Delete
No problem about that.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ReplyDeleteReplies
Show some respect . I think it's okay not to decide the penalty . The line was very generous of Skomina.Delete
Respect? For a clear mistake? I would understand if actions like these weren't being called. But the Swiss were punished for doing that exact same thing earlier in the tournament.Delete
But don't insult such a great referee as gutless. It is disrespectful.Delete
Yes, respect.Delete
I am sorry but "gutless" and what you suggest in your last sentence doesn't seem acceptable, at least in my view.
Even if a referee makes 10 crucial mistakes in a single game, I would never understand and accept a lack of respect against the human.
Though, performances can be heavily criticized - I don't see any problem with that provided that criticisms are justified.
@Nando Vasquez this is a warning, please moderate your language.Delete
I see that I've ruffled the feathers of some overly sensitive people. Well I stand by what I said initially. At times it takes guts as a referee to make the big unpopular but correct call.Delete
Unfortunately in modern times it's something that a lot of these referees seem to lack.
I'll leave it at this. Howard Webb in the 2010 Final greatly lacked what Edgardo Codesal had more than enough of in the 1990 Final. #GUTS
Guts for what? Codesal missed a stonewall penalty in favour of Germany and later gave a phantom penalty to compensate that. Is that #GUTS?Delete
Kralovec stopped Albania in good chanche for goal in additional time. Advantage was better decision in that moment...ReplyDelete
Kralovec didn't convinced me this evening. I think that his performance was below expected level, perhaps 8.2.ReplyDelete
Starting from the beginning: missed YC for a reckless elbow, then a few later YC was ok for a reckless challenge, but it could have been a RC, because the player from Albania kicked the opponent near the shoulder by raised leg and using a certain force. However, I can still accept this decision.
The Czech should improve his skills to sell decisions, very often he seems to be not totally accepted by players, or at least his authority doesn't appear as it should be. Small points for improvement in foul detection, as well as in wall's management. The last minutes of the game, in which several cards were shown, gave me the impression that he struggled too much.
However, the most discussed call will be AR2 offside in second half, very likely a crucial mistake, and I'm really sorry for that.
Perhaps the tournament is over for the Czech - Slovakian team. To be honest, I expected more by him.
I watched now the situation in Skomina's match. That's a clear penalty for me, you can't say "NO EFFECTS". The player was clearly impeded, 100% similar to Karasev's call in ROU - SUI. So, if Switzerland must pay for a holding, they should also get a penalty in favor for a holding. Skomina style is different, yes, but a holding is a particular foul, in the meaning that it can't be compared to tackles and other challenges. That was a direct action on the opponent, it lasted for a long time...ReplyDeleteReplies
Which card would you give, Chefren?Delete
I'd go for a red card I think, because of the distance between the attacker and the goal, because of the movement of the attacker and because of the trajectory of the ball. But I may be wrong, and it seems quite harsh actually (maybe that's why Skomina didn't whistle?).
I understand your point of view about a possible RC, but I think a YC would have been OK as well, nobody would have questioned, because when there isn't the possession of the ball, one must be 100% sure that the attacker will get it! However, I will rewatch carefully the incident tomorrow, trying to be even more detailed.Delete
Ok Chefren I've just seen some replays and I must correct myself: I'd go for a caution. You are perfectly right.Delete
It was a penalty to Switzerland and mistake by Skomina and AAR2. But other 91:30 min he showed very good performance and if there won't be a lot of media coverage he could maybe get another game in KO.ReplyDelete
For me decision and not whistle the penalty for SUI is acceptable, very good preformance by Skomina and his teamReplyDelete
Where is it possible to rewatch the situation?ReplyDelete
I just looked again at the penalty against Lichtsteiner and then the situation in the last minute today. I Support still this penalty of Karasev. But not every holding can be a Mandat. PK.Depends on the Effekt and how long the defender keeps on holding. So I would vote for penalty again, but NO crucial mistake not deciding that way by Skomina, cause it was not a 100% clear penalty. Skomina today with good Performance, some little mistakes, 8.3ReplyDelete
Kralovec and team worse than I expected. Especially the wrong offside call in 72.min. was a crucial mistake.
As I am Slovenian it is hard to assess the situation 100% objectively, but I would accept the decision made by Skomina. I mean, he could go for a PK but nothing wrong with play on considering this type of match and taking into account Skomina's rather "traditional" (still highly convincing and accepted) laissez faire style and his usual generous line. Beside that, Dzemaili wouldn't get the ball as it was clearly too high. Strong Skomina today, at least in my eyes.ReplyDeleteReplies
Let's take the penalty shout away from a while: I do not think he was that convincing yesterday. Some flaws in foul detection. For example if he waves away Shaqiri's descend right in front of the penalty area, he has to caution him for simulation. He gave play-on, which is a poor compromise in such situations.Delete
Generally, not as accurate as in Slovakia-Russia in my view.
Niclas do you think that he will be selected for another match or will he conclude this Euro 2016 with only two matches?Delete
Agree with you on that one, @NiclasDelete
@Tomaz: Too early to say that, there are still 10 performances to come.Delete
The problematic point in yesterday's performance is that Skomina did nothing to take holding offences out of the game. There was no prevention. 2-3 clear and blatant shirt pulling incidents were missed, some shirts even got torn by that. If you lack in preventing sth like that, is it a miracle that such a penalty area incident happens in 90+2?
I think the missing prevention is the biggest point one can reproach Skomina for. And this makes it hard to accept his decision.
two terrible mistake from kralovec and skomina.. they changed Euro 2016 of fate..ReplyDeleteReplies

Barrio Logan community plan not updated much
"This is crazy. Why are they asking us to do this again?"
Julie Stalmer 10:21 a.m., Sept. 22
(Page 3 of 3)
Accusing me of being drunk as a skunk doesn't get you off the hook: even if I had been (and I wasn't), I had ample doggie bags of every entrée to reheat very gently, retaste at length (at least twice each), and examine visually in a strong kitchen light over the several days after my dinner, before signing off on the review. I don't want to get into a slapdown here, but normally the taste of a proper dark gumbo roux is a vital component of gumbo flavor, whereas if there's a roux in yours, it must be a roux blonde, as it's imperceptible — tomato is dominant. And in two doggie-bag dinners involving the jambalaya, I didn't spot or taste a whit of tomato — the liquid tasted more like a light turkey gravy. So who should I believe, you or my own eyes and mouth? The best I can suggest is that perhaps we ate there on one of those nightmare evenings that befall all restaurants sometimes, when nothing turns out right.
A Plate Of Cruelty
After reading Ms. Wise's review of Indigo Café (Restaurant Review, April 15), I have to say that it was one of the most mean, unprofessional reviews I have seen in your publication. I have dined at that restaurant several times. At no time did I ever think I was going to experience a New Orleans–style cuisine. While I do agree that they have some items on the menu that do have a New Orleans theme, it is an American-style restaurant. It has always been a wonderful dining experience. She was so cruel in her review. The article honestly felt like she had a personal problem with the owners. I fully support varying opinions and usually agree with her take on restaurants, but I was shocked at how incorrect she was in regards to the type of restaurant and also how scathing she was.
People who own these smaller restaurants are trying to provide a quality experience at an affordable price during these difficult times. She has the potential to greatly affect these restaurants' revenue streams. She should, at the very least, make sure she is reviewing a restaurant based on the correct cuisine. It would also be a much better read if she did not sound like such a miserable, bitter person.

I would like to say that I liked "Black Elk Speaks" on page 153 of the Reader (April 15). It's a little shout-out to the Lakota Native American tribe. It was the tip of the iceberg, but it was still nice to reflect on him.
North Park
"I was one of the physicians caring for Dorian...It is clear he is and probably always was an insecure, angry, and self-absorbed person...He comes across as an immature, careless person."
Dr. Shiny Black Shoes is that you? Must be. You know doctor, (showing my maturity by not typing out your real name), I might be an angry, insecure person, and my judgement may have been off but doctor you forget one thing; I had a traumatic brain injury and I was two days out of a coma. What's your excuse? Maybe I was in better condition than I thought, even with a head injury I could see the type of person you are.
As for the rest of the staff at Alvarado Hospital, they were great. And as for the doctors and nurses at Scripps; they saved my life. The therapists at Sharp; they informed me about my injury. You did nothing.
Oh, and once my insurance handles all of my claims, the check will be in the mail. Buy some new shoes or something, anything to distract people from seeing the person you are. Thanks for the confirmation, doctor.
To Dr. What-an-Insult: Wow, it is totally shocking that you would respond so cruelly to Dorian. Disregarding your strange comment, "I am unsure I have ever been paid", your personal attack on a patient is unprofessional and really, really, unbelievably off the mark. I can't imagine that Alvarado's board would agree that you should have submitted in writing these hurtful accusations. I will write the hospital board and suggest that they evaluate your behavior.
You could have taken the opportunity to apologize to Dorian for any perception that you weren't meeting his needs, and you could have explained why he might have felt that way and how you really felt (well, I guess we do know the latter, now). You, the supposed un-brain-damaged professional, should have been the one to recognize that the wrong chemistry existed between you and your patient. YOU should have helped Dorian to access a physician with whom he felt comfortable.
Having worked inside a hopital as a professional, I know what everyone knows: (1) being a patient almost always has its horrible moments and experiences, and (2) hospital personnel are a mix of the good, bad, and ugly. And sometimes they hate patients on sight, and patients sense it.
Further, everyone knows that doctors don't have the time, nor do many have the personality, to interact with every patient successfully. It is inevitable that the wrong chemistry will pop up between doctor and patient, and part of the doctor's duty is to recognize this and to help redirect the patient.
Shame on you! Sorry, Dorian. You and Aimee don't need this kind of ugliness in your lives. Just chalk it up to living in the real world...LIVING, thank goodness!
Uhhhhhh, what's up, doc?
You know, I am not even sure this is serious--the writer does not demonstrate the kind of intelligence one might expect from the incisive mind of a physician--there is a lot of careless repetition of subjects, as though this person hasn't been that familiar or comfortable with a pen--much less a surgeon's knife.
Dorian has a literacy-challenged enemy of some kind, with extremely poor taste. That's about all you can gather from this--a "hit on the medical community?"
Come on. Wacka wacka, doc!
^ Agreed. And if it is real, repeat: whacked.
In response to 'Doctor' Shiny Black Shoes, your letter in regards to Dorian's article is nothing more than proof of the arrogance that looms above your head. At all times, especially with a recovering patient of severe traumatic brain injury such as Dorian's, I believe a doctor should show compassion towards all patients, this including patients already released from the facility. To even mention not having 'been paid' is a reflection of what your sole motive is in your profession, to make money... to get by with your job and bring home that sadly earned bacon. Your part in this article was minuscule in relation to the bigger picture this article is trying to convey and if you can't get your self to see that, even to just obtain a glimpse of it, then oh well, more accidents and brain injuries for us, more money for you right? Regardless of what the reality was and how you were portrayed in this story, hundreds of lives were saved in the past week that this issue of The Reader was out, and many more will continue to be saved thanks to the courageous effort of the author to write this story. It was hard to read and I could only imagine how hard it was to live it then relive it in words. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all Dorian.
To the comments about the graphic nature of the cover: you wrote in didn't you? Another impact has been made. Kudos to The Reader and amazing job on the photography Aimee.
-Erny C.
RE: What An Insult
if you really are a doctor, which i suspect you are NOT, i am pretty sure it is some sort of a HIPAA violation to even come here and discuss his patient care...at all. it was his choice to share his ordeal with everyone. and for you to come in here and trash him...HOW DARE YOU?!? why don't you state your name, DOCTOR, so i and everyone else may avoid your services at all costs. doctor, my fat ass. you sicken me.
...and RE: Disturbed:
Seriously? after all this young man has been through and was courageous enough to tell his story, you are "Disturbed" by a photo of his head injury?? where is everyone's compassion? you should be shouting praises that he is alive and giving words of encouragement for him. christ, wtf is wrong with you people? why don't you, like, stop reading the reader, like, write something contructive, like...
the doc is being petty in some ways but
i think DorianH has no idea or empathy for all that medical personal do to save lives and especially his life
his recovery is quite remarkable...but without all that were involved with his care he wouldn't be here to tell us all about it
guess u can tell i worked in hospital 30 years eh ;-)
believe me i've known arrogant physicians i would have like to take out back and horse whipped...but if i needed their specialty because of the type injury i had they could act like horses a*sses all day long and i would have still opted to have them on my case
bless u for ur story Dorian...it was a very brave thing to do ..and a pic too
continued recovery mister and blessing
i hear what you're saying, nan. but i am a nurse too and many times it is a thankless job..don't get me wrong, i don't ever expect thanks, i LOVE what i do and like you, have met many arrogant a**hole "doctors" like this, more than i care to remember..but to come here and complain about a patient when all he is doing is telling his story and trying to heal, inexcusable, inappropriate, unprofessional.. i really do wish he would identify himself so that everyone could avoid being stuck seeing him. just saying.
I appreciate the comments, but keep in mind my life was saved by different doctors and nurses at a different hospital. The doctor I had my issue with is the head of the rehabilitation institute at Alvarado, my second hospital after awaking from the coma. He never saved my life and had nothing to do with my rehab.
And trust me, I appreciate everything that everyone did for me. I don't, however appreciate someone just because they are doctor, especially one with a horrendous bedside manner. Just had to clarify. Thanks.
Exactly. Let's not let this blow out of proportion. If you read the actual piece written by Dorian, there is no "hit on the medical community," and actually very little mention of even this doctor. Read the piece in its entirety before you comment.
I agree. Dorian took a dislike to one particular doctor, not the entire medical profession, which he resolved by asking for a change of doctors; he discussed this situation as one part of the whole ordeal he went through. Should he have not talked about it? I think the doctor took on significance due to the circumstances, and therefore I feel it was appropriate to discuss in the article, which Dorian did, with honesty. If nothing else, he has a right to his opinion.
Does the doctor have an equal right? I think perhaps not an equal right to express it: Do no harm. Keep your highly paid trap shut.
I am amazed! Amazed by Dorian's story, and amazed by the responses to it…
First of all, Doctor Shiny Shoes is the lowest and least that I care to respond to. Frankly, it surprises me that our medical system doesn't produce more of his ilk. Yet consider the medical educational process that aspiring doctors go through. Most people could not even imagine how tough that is! It's a wonder to me that anyone can survive it with their humanity intact... That being said, what annoys me more are the ones complaining about the cover. Open your eyes to the reality of life! He had part of his skull removed!! That's what it looks like, you twits!!!
I'm HAPPY yer alive and recoverin Dorian, and proud to call you friend!

Bruce Springsteen Joins Search for Missing Student
Boston College student Franco Garcia has been missing for a little over a week, and rock legend Bruce Springsteen wants to find him.
The singer posted the official "Missing" poster on his Facebook page and sent a tweet to his followers on Wednesday in an effort to bring the 21-year-old home safely, writing, "Help find missing Boston College student Franco Garcia."
Garcia was last seen around midnight on Feb. 22 wearing a long-sleeved white and blue striped shirt and jeans at Mary Ann's Bar in Brighton, Mass. Police have reportedly searched the Chestnut Hill Reservoir and Garcia's home but have turned up nothing.
"It remains a missing persons case," Massachusetts State Police spokesperson David Procopio said. "There is no evidence to indicate foul play, but foul play has not been ruled out."
Springsteen's connection to the case is personal: his son is also a student at Boston College, where Garcia was a member of the school's marching and symphonic bands. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 617-796-2104.

Resident Fantasy Genius
The Ones We Got Wrong
Last week in this space I looked back on my best preseason predictions. While I think my hits far outweighed my misses, it is important (and fair) to look back at the lesser advice I gave this year. For each player, I've listed his mixed and AL/NL-only auction value in Tout Wars and LABR (only Tout has a mixed auction, but AL/NL-only values are an average of Tout and LABR) as well as his actual value for the 2012 season according to our Player Forecast Manager. Also take note that I've excluded most of the "value picks" from my preseason tier articles, as they'll get their own review article.
Justin Upton
Upton was likely my biggest miss this year, or at least the one with the biggest impact. I all but predicted Upton to take the next step forward into the elite tier of fantasy producers, but just 17 home runs squashed any chance of that happening. My words at the time: "I love Upton's combination of skills, and 40 home runs really wouldn't surprise me. That's not to say it's my mean expectation, but it's well within the realm of possibility." His overall production was still decent, but his high price tag means owners took a big loss on him (myself included, as I drafted him in Tout Wars. The difference between him and Ryan Braun for my team would have been eight points.)
Alex Rios
I suggested owners stay away from Rios this season, but he wound up being the 10th-most valuable player in AL-only leagues, according to the PFM.
I'm pretty down on Alex Rios this year, even if he's solidly in the Three-Star tier. I know he had some injury issues last year that could have affected him, but his power performance makes me really worry. After showing power to all fields prior to 2011, his power was strictly pull in 2011, and they were hit much shallower than he used to hit them. With Alejandro de Aza and Kosuke Fukudome around to cut into his playing time, I'd be wary about drafting Rios.
It seems as though the 2011 injuries may have been the reason for Rios' power issues, because a healthy Rios hit 25 long-balls this year, many of which went to centerfield, as they did prior to 2011.
Lucas Duda
Before the season, I said this about Duda, who I thought could be an undervalued commodity in NL-only leagues:
Lucas Duda is a pet player of Rob McQuown, and it's easy to see why. The guy has a lot of power, and the fence shift in Citi Field will only aid that. Despite his lumbering size, he also manages good strikeout rates, so he shouldn't be a hindrance in anything but steals.
While Duda's power was good enough on a per-PA basis (he paced 20 homers per 600 plate appearances), mediocre numbers overall (.259 TAv) combined with poor defense limited him to 459 plate appearances. His strikeout rate rose from 16 percent in 2011 to 26 percent in 2012, culminating in a .239 batting average that was indeed a hindrance to fantasy owners.
Henderson Alvarez
Alvarez was my Lineup Card choice for a breakout player this year, not because I thought he stood the best chance of breaking out, but because it was a good platform to discuss him. Here's what I wrote for that week's LC:
You might not guess based on his mediocre strikeout numbers—he posted just a 6.8 K/9 at Double-A in 2011—but Henderson Alvarez actually throws the ball around 93 mph and doesn't struggle to crank it up to 97 or 98, reportedly even touching 100 mph on the radar gun on occasion. Just looking at the stats you might guess that he's a soft tosser who gets by on command, but he has the potential to be so much more. Of course, that plus command doesn't hurt one bit, nor does his excellent ground ball-inducing ability. Even without a ton of whiffs he should be good, but Alvarez could really be something special if his stuff ever translates into strikeouts. His ability to do so will be limited a bit since his fastball is closer to a sinker than it is to a rising four-seamer, but Alvarez is an intriguing guy that many may overlook based on his numbers (though probably fewer now that Jason Collette and I have both touted him as a sleeper). PECOTA is pessimistic because of his lack of upper-level experience, but I believe that he's able to at least hold his own right now.
While my Alvarez love was based on upside, and while saying that he'd be able to "hold his own" wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement (and wasn't even untrue), Alvarez's season was still pretty bad. He struck out just 3.8 batters per nine, which I definitely didn't see coming. He made up for it with lots of groundballs and good control, but a 4.85 ERA is hardly of much help to fantasy owners, especially when it comes with just 79 strikeouts over a full season. There are relievers who strike out more batters than that. I still think Alvarez has upside, but he was definitely a big disappointment this year.
Here is an assortment of other predictions I made this past spring that failed to work out as expected, with the first word linked (to see where I said it) and the bolded brackets at the end a summary of what actually happened.

Great article, Derek. It shows a lot of class to show why you or anyone else was wrong about a player's future performance. I used your advice for this season, and wound up tied for second in a NL-only nine-team 5x5 league, so thanks. You've been an awesome addition to BP, and worth the subscription fee.

Every time I eat something hot or cold my stomach muscles tighten. I can't do sit ups or lift anything without them 'contracting' . I ALWAYS feel like I have a rope tied VERY tightly around my waist. When I am cold, they are so tight I have to stay bent over and hug myself to relieve the tightness. Crazy I know, but pressure or having something wrapped around my middle section makes my muscles feel better. I also have a constant burning feeling. HELP! I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
4 Post Tummy Tuck. Why Do my Muscles React to Cold or Heat?
Doctor Answers 8
Recovery following an abdomioplasty
Symptoms such as yours are not unusual after an abdominoplasty. The muscles of the anterior abdominal wall can certainly go into and out of spasm during your recovery period. It is very common that patient's feel more comfortable wearing the compression garment, it seems to give them a feeling of support. Given time you will certainly get back to normal. Stretching and massage certainly help. Follow the advice from your plastic surgeon.
Muscle Sensitivity after Tummy Tuck
Muscle sensitivity after tummy tuck can be normal. The muscles have been irritated to a certain extent by plication and the surgery itself. The abdominal wall may need several months to get accustomed to the changes. Workouts will take some getting used to as well.
Why Do my Muscles React to Cold or Heat?
This does not sound typical for post-op TT patients other than in the first few weeks. An evaluation by your physician is in order. Thanks for your question, all the best.

this tightness is very normal after a tummy tuck. when the muscles are sutured in the midline it takes time for them to readjust to the new tension
Tightness is common after tummy tuck
When the abdominal muscle fascia is sutured in a tummy tuck it is normal to feel tightness. This may last for 6 months but usually gets progressively better over time. The worst is usually in the first 6 weeks with each week after being less tight than the last.

Tummy Tuck Muscle Spasms
Hi glendab,
Are you 4 days, 4 weeks, or 4 months post-op? Sensations to a lesser degree than you describe could be expected in the early post-op period.
The feeling of a rope or something wrapped around your middle is probably due to the "muscle tightening" (diastasis repair) part ot the TT.
In my experience, the severity of your symptoms is not typical. Be sure your PS is aware of your distress and get his advice.
Muscle spasm after tummy tuck
I can't ascertain how long it has been since your surgery from your question. However, having some muscle spasm during your recovery period, especially early on, is common after a tummy tuck. The use of muscle relaxants as well as support can help those spasms. Over time, your muscle will adjust and those spasms should not persist. If you have more questions, talk to your surgeon. Good luck!

Great climbing, worthy of all the stars in Randy's new book.
The gear is quite fiddly and strenuous to place, so definitely a heads up lead. There are good gear placements when needed, but the crack is often flaring so the are plenty of bad placements to be had as well.
Do the direct finish, but stay just right of the bolts. I got suckered left of the bolts and made it harder than need be.

Over the past 21 months I've changed my lifestyle, lost 40 lbs, work out (cardio, pilates, kickboxing, tone/sculpt, zumba, cardio step and intervals) 5-6 days a week averaging 1 1/2 - 2 hrs each day, eating health(ier) and finally started enjoying my life and body. I mean who says at 48 you have to stop life, right? :). Honestly, I can say I am healthier, look and feel better than I did at 28 (Minus the wrinkles) I know at 28 I could not run a 5k!
So a little back ground info before we start.
I've always been a big girl- nothing petite here. 5'6" 164 lbs currently between size 10-12. I'm not looking to be a size 4. But I am aiming for making my 10's rock! Realistically I am, however, aiming for the extra sagging skin and stretch marks (which looks like the bird on the hood of an 80's Trans Am) on my lower tummy to be no more, my abdomen and waist tighter, my stretched out belly button (which looks like its screaming ) to be small, oval (and hopefully cute), flank area slimmer (saying bye, bye to muffin top-oh ya!) and some small areas on legs where I had smart lipo previously, revised a tad. I feel these are within reason. My goal is for my clothes to fit smoother, my curves more proportionate to the rest of my body (yep, I'm a curvy girl ;) and get some assistance where the gym work outs have not fully impacted.
I didn't think I would be as excited as I am - but seriously I couldn't hardly sleep the night after I scheduled!
i am using Dr Schaffer at Hedden Plastic Surgery again. I really like his work (peri-areolar lift and augmentation last November- and I love my amazing breast!!). HSP Center is great, I love the staff, the facility is beautiful and the wait time is reasonable, they take time answering my questions or concerns, costs are competitive. I have been pleased with procedures Dr Schaffer has done previously and completely trust them to take care of me.
Prior to my consultation, I had done some research, so my questions were not extensive. On the day of my consult He checked me out, we discussed all the things that go with surgery (risks, expectations, recovery,how many days i will be out of work, etc..) I was shown where my incision would be (I'm 48, but I like my scars small, thin and as out of sight as possible- I know it vain but is still a preference). Also, my biggest dread (screaming voice) drains! I hate them :) but.... They do a great job at what they are designed for and help get the best results- so I'm just dandy with them (still don't like them though!) the drain will stay in until I'm getting less than 40cc fld in 24 hrs. I had a great idea, I asked if he could just pull them before I wake up! Lol.
So, for those who don't know me (lol- i guess all of ya) I like to plan ahead, grab the bull by the horns and not leave anything to take me by surprise if possible. That being said, i've increased my workouts/changed up my calories hoping to shed the last 7 pounds which don't have desire to "leave home", my time off has been requested for 12 days (I tolerate things pretty well and my job is not strenuous). Hotel has been booked. Driver is reserved (she doesn't know it yet, but I'm treating her with a Spa day at Spa Greystone (part of HPS Center) while I'm being trimmed and toned (hehe) :), check up/labs scheduled with my GP on July 17, down payment made and i will pay the balance in a couple weeks, extra compression garment has been ordered and I have a grand collage of dream belly buttons to take with me. Sigh.....
If I get brave, I might post pics :D
So the count down begins.

Two men questioned for dropping body off at hospital released
Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:09:07 GMT —
After extensive questioning, the two men who dropped off a body at a Harlingen hospital were released late Saturday night.
The men drove up to Harlingen Medical Center and left the body of 20-year-old Michelle Zapata at the hospital TMs emergency center Saturday afternoon.
The woman was already dead upon arriving to the hospital.
Nurses called authorities when they saw the men drive away.
Police saw the men in an SUV circling the hospital parking lot.
Authorities took the men into custody. Harlingen police said that the men were released later that night.
Autopsy results are expected to be released on Monday.

The Washington Post had a piece discussing views at the Fed about the prospect of either vice-chair Janet Yellen or Larry Summers taking over as chair. At one point the piece discusses the arithmetic of votes on the 12 person open market committee that decides monetary policy. It tells readers:
"The chair sets the tone of the discussion. The Fed staff members who prepare economic projections and the range of policy options work directly for the chair. And the Washington-based governors usually go along with the Fed leader's wishes (none has dissented since 2005), giving the chair a head start in putting together a majority.
"So, at the end of the day, the Fed chairman can get the policy that he or she wishes. But the ability to persuade and firm up support still matters. If a policy change was regularly enacted on close votes, say 7 to 5, it would send a message to markets that no one was really in charge."
This is a bit misleading. First votes are usually, unanimous so there are not a lot of dissenting votes to examine. Furthermore, Bernanke took over as Fed chair in January 2006, so most of the votes since 2005 have been during his tenure. Of course Bernanke has made a point of consulting closely with his colleagues, as the piece notes, so it is not surprising that he would not have pushed positions that prompted one of the other governors to dissent.
Finally, the arithmetic is likely to be a bit different than is implied in this piece if Summers is appointed. There is already one vacancy on the board of governors. Another governor, Sarah Bloom Raskin, is reportedly considering a top position at Treasury. If she were to take this appointment that would create a second vacancy. Finally, there is a reasonably chance that Yellen would leave if she were passed over for Summers. That would create a third vacancy.
This administration has been very slow in filling Fed vacancies. This is partly due to Republican obstruction tactics and partly to a slow nomination process within the administration. Given this history, it is entirely possible that the vacancies could remain for well over a year. That would mean that the Open Market Committee would include 5 district bank presidents with voting power (all 12 presidents sit in on the meetings) and 4 governors. If Summers tried to get his way without pulling along any bank presidents he would face a serious risk of being outvoted.

I love those red and white ones! We don't presently have awnings but I had them in a childhood home and they were cool because when the rain hit them, it sounded amazing like rain on a tin roof.
June 25, 2010MCM Home Improvement: Awnings
By Sablemable aka Jan
One of the virtues of Mid-Century Modern homes is their versatility. You can do almost anything to these homes; make them country, traditional, classic and they still look great!
Case in point: awnings. Take a look at the images I found of MCM homes with aluminum awnings.
A bi-level or split-level making a bold statement. Love the red accents!
A brick ranch with complimentary color awnings.
A brick step-ranch or bungalow with contrasting dark green awning stripes.
Another multi-level brick home with awnings in reverse: dark brown with white stripes.
Are you toying with the notion of adding awnings to your MCM home? Or have you already taken the plunge and added them? Tell us your story with all the details!
7 Responses to MCM Home Improvement: Awnings
I don't have to toy with the idea, my 1953 cottage has them already. Of course, they haven't been painted in years, so this year is paint time – for the house and the awnings!
I can imagine how soothing the sounds would be reverberating off the metal awnings!
Barbara-what color(s) are you planning to paint them?
Well, when I paint, the house will be a cocoa color, the awnings and trim will be white and the shutters and accents will be Montana Dust, which is a rusty orange color.
And yes, the rain sounds great on the awnings.
Oooh, Barbara! Those colors sound wonderful! Be sure and send us pics when you've finished!
I wish they still made those awnings with the starbursts underneath!

Ware walking on crutches after surgery on broken leg
Louisville coach Rick Pitino says sophomore guard Kevin Ware was already up walking on crutches this morning after a two-hour operation last night to repair his broken right leg. School officials say doctors reset the bone and inserted a rod in his right tibia.
Meanwhile, Ware's mother spoke exclusively with Eyewitness Sports.
"He's had to overcome a lot of obstacles, and it seems as if with every obstacle he has to go through he becomes a better man because of it. We don't know why this happened. It's a freak accident but at the end of the day I believe there is a reason for it all. Maybe it's not him. Maybe he will have to pass this testimony on to someone else. I believe it will make him a better person," said Lisa Junior, Kevin Ware's mother.
"He's in very good spirits," said Louisville coach Rick Pitino during a conference call with media. "He's anxious to get out of the hospital and get back with the guys."
Pitino visited Ware at Methodist Hospital after the surgery and again this morning. Ware suffered a gruesome injury Sunday night in the first half of Louisville's 85-63 victory over Duke in the NCAA Midwest Regional final at Lucas Oil Stadium. The win sent the Cardinals to the Final Four next weekend in Atlanta, Ware's hometown.
"Kevin had a good night," said Pitino. "He's not in a whole lot of pain. Right before the surgery, he was able to watch the players at the press conference. The nurses and doctors told me that was the first time he broke down and cried when the players were talking about him."
Pitino saw the injury up close, as Ware fell awkwardly in front of the Louisville bench with 6:33 left in the first half.
"He got up in the air," said Pitino. "When he landed, his leg went one way and the shoe went another way and the bone split."
Pitino says he started to help Ware up when he saw the severity of the injury. The Louisville players were visibly disturbed and shaken. The crowd of almost 35,000, most of them Louisville fans, sat silently stunned for several minutes.
"If it wasn't for Kevin, I don't know if we could have gotten through last night," said Pitino. "He kept saying, 'Just win the basketball game. I'll be fine. Get me home to Atlanta.' That was on my mind the entire night, how valiant he was with that type of injury."
Pitino says Kevin's mother Lisa arrived in Indianapolis this morning.
"She just needed to see him this morning," said Pitino. "She was crying all night. When she gave him a hug, she was fine. Everything's good right now."
Pitino says doctors have a slight concern for infection because the bone broke through the skin. But otherwise, Ware should be released from the hospital Tuesday to return to Louisville, just a two-hour drive south. The team leaves for the Final Four in Atlanta Wednesday night. Pitino expects Ware to be with the Cardinals.
Pitino says Ware has already received several calls of encouragement, including one from former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, who suffered his own famous compound fracture on national television.
Suggested Links
The Cardinals are the number one overall seed in the NCAA tourney and perhaps still the favorite to win the national championship, even without Ware.
"Kevin really hurts our basketball team not being there because we are short on backcourt substitutions anyway,' said Pitino. "Kevin has great speed and great length. He was playing the best basketball. Now you don't have any backcourt rotations, just Russ (Smith) and Peyton (Siva)."
Top seed Louisville takes on 9th seeded Wichita State Saturday at 6:09 p.m. at the Georgia Dome in the first national semifinal game. Syracuse takes on Michigan in the second game. Both the Orange and Wolverines are four seeds.

MAGREE, H.C. et al. Chest X-ray-confirmed pneumonia in children in Fiji. Bull World Health Organ [online]. 2005, vol.83, n.6, pp.427-433. ISSN 0042-9686. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0042-96862005000600010.
OBJECTIVE: To calculate the incidence and document the clinical features of chest X-ray- (CXR-) confirmed pneumonia in children aged between 1 month and 5 years living in Greater Suva, Fiji. METHODS: A retrospective review was undertaken of children aged between 1 month and 5 years with a discharge diagnosis suggesting a lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) admitted to the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva, Fiji, in the first 10 days of each month from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2002. Clinical data were collected and CXRs were reread and classified according to WHO standardized criteria for CXR-confirmed pneumonia. FINDINGS: Two hundred and forty-eight children with LRTI met the inclusion criteria. CXRs were obtained for 174 (70%) of these cases, of which 59 (34%) had CXR-confirmed pneumonia. The annual incidence of CXR-confirmed pneumonia was 428 cases per 100 000 children aged between 1 month and 5 years living in Greater Suva. If a similar proportion of the children for whom CXRs were unavailable were assumed to have CXR-confirmed pneumonia, the incidence was 607 per 100 000. The incidence appeared to be higher in Melanesian Fijian than Indo-Fijian children. The case-fatality rate was 2.8% in all children with LRTI, and 6.8% in those with CXR-confirmed pneumonia. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to document the incidence of CXR-confirmed pneumonia in a Pacific Island country, and demonstrates a high incidence. A significant proportion of hospital admissions of children with LRTI are likely to be preventable by the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Team Cadillac Just Misses Double Podium in First Race at Cadillac Grand Prix of Sonoma
CTS-V Coupes of O'Connell second, Pilgrim fourth in tight Pirelli World Challenge thriller at Infineon Raceway
– O'Connell starts from pole, runs top-three all day
– Pilgrim gets boxed by lapped traffic, loses third
– O'Connell moves to second in GT points; Pilgrim fifth after ninth round
SONOMA, Calif. – A logjam at the start and some tough traffic luck on the 2.2-mile layout at Infineon Raceway cost both Johnny O'Connell and Andy Pilgrim in Saturday's ninth round of the Pirelli World Challenge.
"They just got a better jump," O'Connell said of the start, where both eventual race winner Patrick Long and third-starting Randy Pobst got past him. "Their computers worked better than ours did for the first time this year. I felt we've had great starts every single race, but this is the first time the 45 car (Long) pulled me on the start."
Trailing Pobst and Long, O'Connell kept both in his sights as Pilgrim launched well and hung out on O'Connell's back bumper. Pobst left the lead battle with mechanical problems on the fourth lap, and it was a two-car Cadillac CTS-V tag-team on Long after that.
It stayed that way until lap 18, when the leaders were mired deep in traffic among a gaggle of GTS machines waging their own battle for position.
"It was very unfortunate," Pilgrim said. "It was four Mustangs, running so hard, and they weren't looking in their mirrors, I guess. I knew it was going to be tough to get through, and I was about to get pushed off the track. I had to back off and as I did, I saw Mike Skeen slide past on the inside.
"It's very disappointing not to get a podium, but actually, it was a really good race. That lap just cost me three or four seconds, and it was terrible."
Pilgrim caught back up to Skeen's bumper on several occasions over the final nine laps, but had to fend off the closing Porsche of Dino Crescentini in the final two to preserve fourth.
Over the final 10 laps or so, through the ebb and flow of traffic, O'Connell kept Long on a string, waiting for the moment he could pounce. It didn't come.
"I was struggling, fighting the rear of the car from the third lap on," O'Connell said. "I kept hoping that he would have tires, but he didn't. Then I was hoping he would hit traffic and he didn't, and then I was hoping I could hang on.
"All things considered, as difficult a race car as it was, second is a good result. It is what it is and we'll get it better for tomorrow."
Behind Long and O'Connell came Skeen and Pilgrim, with Crescentini in fifth. James Sofronas, Tomy Drissi, David Welch, Tony Gaples and Jeff Courtney rounded out the top 10 finishers.
O'Connell, by virtue of winning the pole (worth 15 points) and finishing second, claimed second spot in the driver point standings, 124 behind Long. Pilgrim stayed fifth, opening ground on Tony Gaples for the spot.
In the manufacturer's chase, Porsche leads with 64 points and Cadillac is second with 38.
The next round for the Pirelli World Challenge is Sunday, Aug. 28 at Infineon Raceway.
Cadillac has been a leading luxury auto brand since 1902. In recent years, Cadillac has engineered a historic renaissance led by artful engineering and advanced technology. More information on Cadillac can be found at media.cadillac.com.

Results from Lloyd Rhodes,7/1/09
This team concluded its charter very quickly, ahead of the requested date. This was because of the dedication of the members, and a desire of all for success. The outcome of this team was a presentation to create a new business unit in OPP, with dotted line to University Police, that will oversee all electronic security/access control processes, in order to ratchet up the focus on safety and security of campus students, faculty and staff. The expectation is greatly enhanced safety, featuring a better specification for access control for campus buildings. Other benefits will be better satisfaction for the aforementioned campus population as a result of increased safety.
The new business unit was initiated with the hiring of a manager (qualified as a Certified Security Professional), who started 4/1/08, and the formulation of his staff, and initiation of security assessments, specification reviews, etc.

"Who can walk into unknown woods and head directly for the other side? Wandering for a spell makes the journey even more exciting"
Vine Deloria, Jr. American Indian Writer.
We live in such a fast and demanding world that we often do not have the time to "check in" with ourselves and the lives we are living. It is not until we experience certain crossroads in our life that many of us are forced to do what is called a "Life Audit". This can be brought on by significant experiences/crises in our lives such as getting married or the break up of a relationship; having children or infertility; a change of career through choice or redundancy, a major illness or the death of a loved one. I believe that many of us very naturally and privately do such an audit.
Yet to do such an audit with a professionally trained counsellor is often viewed as "indulgent", for the "weak-minded", for "mad" people, for those who have no friends and should only be done as a last resort! The counselling profession have invested alot of time, energy and marketing into helping the general population understand the purpose and benefits of counselling and in exploring and challenging the negative perceptions of counselling held by some members of society. As a consequence of this, counsellling is becoming less taboo and stigmatised and available for example by the National Health Service and in Schools. However, for some people, the stigma attached to counselling still remains and prevents people from getting the help they need. I feel that we should all have "emotional checkups" (just as we have physical health checks from the G.P.) as and when we need it - that asking for help is a act of strength and courage not weakness.
More than ever with the economic recession, more of us are facing difficult life choices. These choices can sometimes affect our loved ones and therefore it is difficult to turn to them for help when you need objectivity around a particular life issue. Counsellors are objective and have no agenda other than to help you: explore what is going on for you; "grow" emotionally and make sense of your life and the decisions you want or need to make.
"Walls turned sideways are bridges"
Angela Davis
My name is Marcia Atkinson and I have been a professionally qualified counsellor/psychotherapist working in South West London for the past 10 years.
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (B.A.C.P.). This is a professional regulatory body for Counsellors and Psychotherapists and to whose Code of Ethics and protocols I adhere to.
As a professional counsellor, I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.
Creative Expression
I like to enhance your counselling experience with me by using a variety of creative therapeutic "talking" tools. These are poetry, photography, journal writing, art therapy, film therapy and music therapy.
These methods can help to provide an "in-road" to the expression of difficult and painful issues (past or present) where you feel stuck, scared or are struggling to find the words for what you are feeling. These tools can be useful at the time of reviews and endings to help you see how much you have achieved and what issues may still need further work.
Creative therapies can also help you to fully express yourself and to get in touch with or discover/rediscover your inner child. Who says therapy can't be fun too!
This is not an exhaustive list but I am experienced in helping clients who have experienced difficulties with:
>Alcohol Addiction
>Stress & Anxiety
>Redundancy issues
>Relationships (intimate and friendships)
>Racial identity
>Chronic health conditions (i.e. HIV, Lupus, M.E.)
>Sexual abuse
>Loss & Bereavement
>Finding your voice
>Self-esteem & Confidence
>Enhancing your creativity
>Making decisions
>Work stress
>Fear of failure
>Expressing and managing anger
>Personal Boundaries
>Work/Life Balance
>Inner Loneliness
>Feeling stuck
>The meaning of life
>Exam stress
>Letting go
I am able to provide counselling and supervision during the day and at evenings and on weekends from Clapham Common Clinic, South West London.
I am able to offer therapy on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period depending on the issue at hand.
My practice is based in South West London at The Clapham Common Clinic,151-153 Clapham High Street, London, SW4 7SS.
The nearest tube station is Clapham Common (Northern Line) or bus 345 from Brixton to Clapham Common Station.
