US a step away from qualification
All that stands now between the Americans and a summer trip to London is Friday's semifinal against Costa Rica. While the U.S. will be a heavy favorite, the Americans are determined to not treat that game like a cakewalk. After the final whistle, forward Abby Wambach gathered the team together in the middle of the field and delivered a not-so-subtle message.
"This is exactly the same position we were in in Mexico in 2010 for World Cup qualifying," she said. "'We still haven't done anything, we still have one game left' -- that's what I said. Stay focused, enjoy tomorrow -- we have tomorrow off -- get the legs back, and start preparing for Costa Rica."
Usual right back Ali Krieger was out due to torn ligaments in her right knee, and as a tribute, her teammates each inscribed "liebe" (the German word for love ) on their arms. But U.S. coach Pia Sundhage still needed to find a replacement, and her response was unconventional, to say the least; she inserted Becky Sauerbrunn into the center of the U.S. defense and moved Rachel Buehler to right back in place of Heather Mitts. Buehler said she had spent some time playing left back in 2011, but couldn't recall the last time she had been stationed on the right.
Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones at the Bard Graduate Center ...
Some hats are designed to protect the wearer – from rain, sun, or falling objects. Others are less utilitarian, but much more fun. The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) invited the prominent British milliner, Steven Jones , to create an exhibition from their world-renowned collection and the literally, spectacular result will be on view at the Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts through April 15, 2012. Jones, who’s created hats for both the British royal family and the Rolling Stones, clearly had the time of his life.
Three floors at Bard are filled with Jones’ selection from the museum interspersed with hats from his own archives. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in fashion, and offers many ideas for artists working in collage and three-dimensional constructions because of the range of materials used and their varied treatments. Students of social history will find ripe material, as will celebrity hounds, for the exhibition includes a baseball cap belonging to Babe Ruth, the beaver top hat Franklin Roosevelt wore to his fourth inauguration and hats worn by Madonna and Brad Pitt, among others....The Headwear Association: Kate Middleton Named Hat Person of ...
Kate truly looks regal in this blue outfit she wore to the Duke of Edinburgh's 90th Birthday at Windsor Castle's St George's Chapel last June. The hat she wore was another designed by Jane Corbett, who was trained by Rose Cory, the Queen Mother’s milliner. Her perwinkle blue brocade coat is by Jane Troughton. Photo credit: Robin Bell.
