VIP view: Judging a Kentucky Derby best dressed contest at Fertitta Downs
Society reporter Amber Elliott teams up with Fady Armanious and Anne Lee Phillips as "Hats, Hearts & Horseshoes" outfit judges
First of all, Fertitta Downs doesn't really exist – though it does have a nice ring to it.
Paige and Tilman Fertitta's River Oaks compound played host to the inaugural "Hats, Hearts & Horseshoes" Kentucky Derby event on Saturday. And to be fair, there were striking similarities to the official horse race in Louisville, Ky., making a strong case for Bo's Place's charitable version to become an actual, annual thing.
AT THE RACES: The 2017 Kentucky Derby by the numbers
A majestic faux show pony greeted some 400 arrivals who marched into the sold-out soiree. This was for the best; real horses are known to drop fragrant little presents here and there.
Not into classic mint juleps? No problem. Avion Tequila offered a potent Texas twist on the race's traditional beverage of choice. Garrison Brothers Bourbon, wines from the Cabaud and Decimus vineyards, and Perrier-Jouët champagne were also available for marathon day-drinking consumption.
The nosh served at Landry's Inc.'s first family's home was arguably much tastier than burgoo, a thick and unseasonal meat stew, that's often served on Derby grounds. Instead, the Bayou City crowd feasted at countless buffet stations – no really, people lost count - on crab cakes, sliced ham, roast beef, macaroni and cheese, shrimp scampi, and one of the largest charcuterie spreads ever seen. Though Tilman, title host of CNBC's "Billion Dollar Buyer" reality show, was notably absent, a contestant from his television program, Pop Brother's Popsicles, commanded a line for the event's duration.
DERBY STYLE: Lavish hats and posh celebrities at the Kentucky Derby
Beyond eating and drinking, party-goers had plenty of games at their disposal. A giving tree, racing wall raffle, and round of "Heads or Tails" for an IW Marks Jewelers certificate kept attendees entertained until the main event, also known as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports." Moments before Always Dreaming and his jockey John Velazquez won the Kentucky Derby's $1,635,800 prize, judges Anne Lee Phillips, Fady Armanious, and yours truly announced "Hats, Hearts, and Horseshoes'" best dressed guests. Hannah McNair, Hallie Vanderhider, and Brad Marks stood out in a sea of festive patrons.
In the end, Bo's Place, which provides support, community, and a free-of-charge bereavement center for those experiencing the death of a loved, championed all with more than $350,000 raised.
Now someone bring co-chairs Megan and Luke Hotze and Hannah and Cal McNair their blanket of roses.

244 miles from home, a four hour drive but we were glad we made the journey to play at this lively town. A small town but everybody comes out and a bunch of tourists as well. We didn't want to pay for a motel so we set up our tent in the yard of the bar manager and it was like old times when I used to tour around quite a bit. Slept pretty well despite there being a duck in the yard that got loud at times. I might have dreamt it, but I am pretty sure that it landed on our tent in the wee pre dawn hours of the morning. Played Friday night and then we had all day Saturday to be tourists in the town and sit in TommyKnockers and eat and drink and watch Portugal play soccer and the US as well after that. Then i played again Saturday night. My life is a working vacation for sure – lots of work but lots of down time and relaxing and playing as well, I love being a musician. Met some really interesting people in this town, a few New Yorkers and people from all over. I love Montana!
6/17/2016 HA Brewery, Eureka, MT18 Jun
The second closest gig in my time as a musician – a 5 minute commute. I didn't forget any essential cables or gear, but this would be the gig to do that on. A perfect day, lots of people outside and some inside as well. We set up the speakers so people in the other room could hear me. It's kind of strange to have people who are in a other room or outside and can't see me and I can't see them clapping for me, I liked it, a change of pace. I had a great night!
6/15/2016 Downtown Farmer's Market, Eureka, MT16 Jun
It's been raining so much and on the cool side this spring but I got a perfect day for playing outside at the Farmer's market. The market continues to grow every year and I saw more vendors and more faces out and about. After being in the recording studio for months it is nice to be out playing live again.

Welcome to Airfield Supply Company, where all destinations lead to wellness, all flights travel to a place called high and the medicine is non-stop.
The Place
The first thing you notice when you enter Airfield Supply Company, which overlooks a runway at the San Jose Airport, is the window into their impressive Mother Room. It has the look and feel of an exclusive private airstrip, which looks onto lush fields of beautiful green to take you higher than any conventional airship.
Upon entering the Airfield, as you prepare for TakeOFF, you arrive on Runway 28A, where new patients will receive their boarding pass, which gets them a free gift and one shelf upgrade on their next visit. They divide their shelves in four classes: Economy, Economy +, Business and First Class.
The Product
Airfield does not disappoint. This boutique-style collective offers a wide selection of the finest medicinal strains, concentrates, edibles and clones, providing a healing solution that bursts with professionalism and compassion. Most notably I am looking at their Jet Fuel cartridges, filled with ultra-premium distilled CO2 oil, created from product grown in-house. These cartridges compliment the many wonderful in-house curated flowers, which adorn the walls of Airfield.
The People
One has to give credit to Noah Sweeters, the Director of Cultivation, who has earned his stripes when it comes to growing some of the finest flower available—not only in San Jose, but in all of California, which qualifies him as having some of the best flower in the world. Once you've turned in your boarding pass to destination Wellness, it's clear why Airfield should be your only stop, whether you're learning to fly or have many miles under your belt. Just don't forget: when you're looking to go to Airfield, High is a place. I've been told it's beautiful this time of year.

text: WOW. This was quite the senior shoot. Christina, her sweet friend Marcy, and I drove out to Proxy Falls, a beautiful (and decently short) hike near our hometown. With Chacos on and outfit changes in hand, we ventured out into the wilderness. This was one of the most fun, beautiful, thrilling – and on and on AND ON – photo shoots I've had. I'm in love with these images, and hope you all are as well. Christina, thanks for being a trooper and hiking in, it was definitely worth it – you are so beautiful!

A group of local dedicated sewers has undertaken a massive effort to help Papakura in its goal of becoming plastic bag free. Sustainable Papakura are volunteers and members of our community that are passionate about making Papakura sustainable and cleaning up the environment.
This month is Plastic Free July and the Sustainable Papakura sewers have been busy for the last couple of months creating tote bags to be used as reusable shopping bags. These upcycled bags have been made out of donated fabric that would normally have ended up in landfill. The volunteer sewers have spent hours of time and effort, saving masses of fabric and diverting it to begin a new journey as shopping bags to replace single use plastic bags. Volunteers will continue to make bags until at least the end on 2018.
Pictured: Mrs Tracy Shackleton, Papakura Business Association manager, Mrs Gupreet Kaur and Mrs Rajwant Kaur from Black Bean Foods one of the retailers featuring the stand of Borrow and Reuse Bags Awhiomai Peke.
"In Papakura there is an alternative to plastic bags." explains Rosemary Nash, Chairwoman of Sustainable Papakura Trust,
Three hundred Awhiomai Peke "borrow and return" bags are to be made available free of charge at a range of supportive retailers within our community. More are in production. Local Kuia, Kura Walker, has gifted the kupu 'Awhio Mai Peke' which means the bag that comes round and round. These retailers include Café Kai Ora, Unichem Pharmacy, Windsor Florist, What's in Stock, Paper Power, Stirling Sports, Alarm Lock, and Black Bean Foods. Additional retailers are being recruited to ensure shoppers have ready access to bags.
The July 21st launch of Plastic Bag Free Papakura at 11am in the Foyer of the Papakura Library coincides with Matariki and the month of Plastic Free July - a time for new beginnings. The bags will be proudly displayed on stands made by Manukau Beautification Trust with materials donated by Mitre10 mega Takanini.
"As a community we're proud to be pulling together to keep plastic bags out of our precious environment. If you find yourself up the street without a bag, Borrow an Awhio Mai Peke, and Return it next time you're in town."Rosemary Nash, Sustainable Papakura Trust

Luella shares her heart condition experiences with the EmpowHer community.
I am Lue (Luella), and I want to tell you about my heart condition. I had a pacemaker put in 22 years ago for 3-second pauses. My heart just wanted to stop at times, and now the past six months, I've had atrial fibrillation. So I have gone the route there, and they finally changed the pacemaker too because one of the leads was not in right, and then they saw something on my EKG, and the doctor did a cardiac cath and I had a stent put in in the LAD.
So now I am on a lot of medications, Plavix and Aspirin and Coumadin, because with the atrial fibrillation they were afraid that I would have some clots, and well, I did pass a clot to my retina, whether that was from that or not, no one has actually said, but I am still under scrutiny and checking the pacemaker. And yesterday I had the pacemaker checked and they found, which was surprising, that I had a dizzy spell about two weeks ago, and he asked me and I said, "Yes, I did," and he said, "Well, that showed up on the pacemaker."
So now they are checking that further because apparently it was a ventricular fibrillation, and they have to get that checked out because that can be more serious, as I understand it.

Roxy Sowlaty made her way onto our screens on the very first season of reality television show the Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, but her career as an interior designer speaks for itself.
RELATED: Hot Interior Design Trend – Copper
Inspired by a fusion of classic and modern pieces, her skillful eye has landed a number of freelance residential projects in Manhattan, as well as a home in Aspen. But her passion of interiors didn't stop there – Roxy has also introduced her own line of candles which will turn any blank space into a home.
A good sofa is a must; and as Roxy says, it has two purposes: "it is a place to sit, and adds something to your living room." Feel free to experiment with colour if you want to liven up your living room, but if you want to keep it classic, a white sofa never goes out of style.
A good candle brings a warm, pleasant aroma to any space and creates a calming ambience, so don't underestimate its necessity! Keep one on your coffee table, kitchen, and in the bathroom as a quirky air freshener.
Wall mirrors
Bring some fun to a sad wall with a wall mirror. Not only are they really useful for touching up your lipstick on the way out, but look amazing on a wall with a pop of colour. You can choose the type of design, style, colour and finish for your home, and there are many available at almost any price point.
Bar stools
Whether you're entertaining by the pool or in some serious need of new decor for the kitchen, a bar stool in a must-have. Look for something with a firm cushion (for obvious reasons) and stick to a monochrome style for a classic, refined look.
Ever wondered what's missing from your bed and sofa? Black and white pillows are a fun way to inject some some serious style into your home without fear of going OTT. Roxy's favourite includes any type of bold patterns or graphic prints which complement a faux fur rug for winter.

I'm so surprised to see a thought I used to have penned down here exactly...I so did not know it is a common line of thoughts��
Anyway, besides the "it's not yet your time" talk, one thing I add now from experiences of people and mine inclusive, is the freedom talk.
You do not know the value of a thing till you lose it...
So, male or female, if you still have this sort of thoughts, do not waste your time dwelling on them....enjoy this "relationshipless" period while it lasts because believe me or not, there'll come times when you'll wish you still had it completely; that is, despite the many pleasures of being in a relationship.

A BOOZY Belgian pilot has admitted being drunk in charge of a plane after flying from France to the UK – because he thought aviation fuel here was cheaper.
Arne Wante, chief executive of Travel Expo, was stopped by an immigration officer after landing his light aircraft on May 19.
The officer alerted police after noticing a strong smell of alcohol.
Wante was collared after heading to the airport bar while his plane was refuelled. The exhibitions organiser, 43, told Canterbury crown court he flew from Calais, France, to Lydd Airport, Kent, as he thought it would cost less for him to fill up in the UK.
He admitted partying in Belgium on the night of May 18 with school friends before flying to Calais, then the UK, the next day.
The court heard he was five times the drink-fly limit when stopped.
Judge Michael O'Sullivan told him: "Alcohol affects judgment. Your actions may have led to a disaster for you and your passengers."
Wante, of Harelbeke, was fined £7,000 and must pay £355 costs.
The Belgian authorities will decide whether to ban him from flying.

Proxy Guide
What Is A Proxy?
As this is a guide for beginners I will start with a short explanation of what proxies actually are or the rest of this website will not make any sense to you at all.
One reason a proxy is used is to access web pages annonymously by covering up and hiding your ip address, it is a website/server you can visit and browse the rest of the web within a frame as such and everything you see is actually received by the proxy first and then to your machine, the only place your ip would be visible is on the proxy server you are using at the time.
The most popular reason for proxies is to access websites that would otherwise be unaccessable in the workplace, school or any other network that restrict what websites you are allowed to browse, most of these networks tend to block gaming sites, pages with adult content and/or any other non-related content to whatever that network is intended to be used for.

Tracy Lee Nelson: Skate Rat with a Rez Kid Heart | KCET
Tracy Lee Nelson: Skate Rat with a Rez Kid Heart
Was a time, he was a Skate Rat, Der Weinerschnitzel chili dog in hand, slaloming along a San Fernando Valley sidewalk, cruising his Brad Bowman Superman skateboard, rolling toward an impromptu session at an empty suburban pool.
Was a time, he was a typical Rez kid, eating venison stew and fresh tortillas cooked on a wood stove at his grandmother's house, messing around in the corrals, throwing a dried cowpie like it was a flying saucer, watching the dogs chase rabbits through the Mesa Grande Reservation brush.
A Greyhound bus became his cultural bridge, transporting him from paved San Fernando Valley strip malls to hillside reservation cattle trails. It was a divided life, city versus reservation, one foot in both worlds. Where others might feel disjointed, Tracy Lee Nelson, 48, a Diegueño/Luiseño Indian, found synthesis. He made it his mission to excel in both worlds.
As a result, both the urban and Indian worlds inform his art and soul. When he was a kid, he became an artist on the skateboard, performing radical inversions on the coping of a kidney-shaped pool. As an adult, he is a skateboard artist, combining form and function in skateboard design that resonates with Indian themes. He's one of a handful of Indian skateboard artists in the country. His skateboards have been exhibited in the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C., in San Diego's Museum of Man, in the Gilb Museum of Arcadia Heritage and others.
But it doesn't stop there. He's also an accomplished musician. As a kid, he screamed punk guitar, bristling with reverb and rebellion. As an adult, he prefers tasty blues licks on a Fender Stratocaster. As a punker, he played in many Hollywood punk bands in clubs like the Troubadour and Madam Wongs. Moving on from punk, he played for a time with Redbone, an American Indian band known for the hit, "Come and Get Your Love." He played with them at the 1996 Super Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. He formed a local reservation band called Native Blues. As a bluesman, he talks of poverty, discrimination, genocide, writing power songs with a down-home feel. He's cut several CDs, both with his band and with just him and his guitar.
He pursues skateboarding and music with equal passion.
He started skating in 1973; you know, just one of those things you do to hang with other kids. His first board was a Black Knight, a flat board with a black knight on a horse, wheels of clay. His wheels were always chipped.
The skateboard quickly became his main transportation, whisking him along the valley sidewalks. He'd take a spill, scrape a knee, climb back on, and keep going. Skating entered his blood, part of his time and place, he made getting better on the board his mantra.
"I became a 24-hour skater, skating became my life," he says. He focused on tricks, walking the board, spinning 360s, doing handstands, grinding on ramps. For his first ramp, he nailed a sheet of plywood to a sawhorse and worked it so hard he wore it out.
To build his skate reputation, he sought entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time being on a skateboard. He went for a day and half before he ran out of gas -- a long time but another skater had outlasted him by a few hours. He tried a different way -- spinning 360s. He completed 22. The record was 27. He was close. Oh, so close. He kept working on his skills.
His skate crew often gathered at Val Surf Shop, a North Hollywood surf and skate shop where they bought equipment and skate magazines like Skateboarder. He would read the magazines, cover to cover, following his skate idols, keeping tabs on equipment innovations. Later he would be profiled in those magazines.
It was natural for him to transition to surfing. He'd ride the bus, a 6-foot-9 Mark Richards twin-fin tucked under his arm and head for the waves. It was about that time the Dogtown Z-Boys, the Santa Monica skaters made famous in film, began to assert themselves. They didn't appreciate valley boys invading their waves.
"We (valley guys) figured we had as much right to the waves as they did. They thought I was Hawaiian," Nelson says, "so I didn't get hassled too bad. But, yeah, we had to get confrontational at times to get waves. We skated against them too, competition was fierce, and sometimes fists flew."
In 1976, he started competing for Reseda's SkaterCross Skate Park's team called Skate Rats. They skated in big competitions against the top skaters of the day -- Tony Hawk, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain and more.
"We had our own jerseys, and we were getting sponsors like Rector Pads who were paying us to skate. I was making money skating," he says.
It was about that time, pool skating became the hot thing. Word of an empty house with an empty pool would spread through the skater grapevine. Still too young to drive, they'd skate or ride the bus to the pool and skate, sometimes ditching school to do so, scrambling over fences when they got there. "It was better if a lot of kids showed up, because if it got busted, we could scatter in different directions, make it harder for the cops to catch us," Nelson said.
It was crazy time with skateboarding taking off, getting bigger and bigger. New tricks were being invented all the time, and skaters were always pushing boundaries, seeking more air, faster speeds, higher jumps.
All through his growing up years, Tracy and his mother, Martha Duro, often took the bus or the train to San Diego County, then got picked up by his aunt for the drive up to Mesa Grande Indian Reservation to stay with his grandparents. He loved the trips home, kicking back in the shade of an oak tree and helping his grandfather, Reganaldo Duro, with the cattle. It was his time to be with the people, reconnect with the bird songs, the peon songs, the death songs, the social songs that today remain part of his musical sensibility. He listened to the stories voiced by elders, the laughter of the children, the lowing of local cattle, the coyotes yipping on mountain tops. It sounded of belonging. He'd see the contrast between city wealth and Rez poverty, the divide that he continues to draw attention to in his songs. He'd stay a week or two, then head back to his skater life in the valley.
Tracy's family moved closer to West Hollywood and he attended North Hollywood High. He'd see Paula Abdul in the hallways before she was Paula Abdul, the celebrity. He had a friend Tim, a quiet guy who skated a little, but kept to himself a lot, and drew. He had a habit of scratching images into his desk, strange characters Tracy had never seen before. He did see them later on the silver screen in a movie called "Nightmare Before Christmas." Turns out his high-school buddy was Tim Burton, the film director. "I often wonder whatever happened to that desk," Nelson says. He had another buddy, Pelegro, who liked this girl. They went to a party at her house. But the girl was singing with her New-Wave group, The Go-Go's. Belinda Carlisle was good looking, but New Wave just didn't cut it with the Punkers. They left the party. The Go-Go's went on to be probably the biggest girl group ever.
As he was building a name as a skater, he also played guitar. A friend gave him a guitar that got him started. At nights, when it was too dark to skate, he practiced guitar. Punk rock was in -- The Circle Jerks, The Germs, The Angry Samoans, The Dead Kennedy's, Fear. He played Punk.
Self-taught, he learned the obligatory rock stuff like Stairway to Heaven, but gave vent to his rebellious side by joining Punk bands like Johnny and the Dingbats and Madd Vampires, banging the strings in sweaty mosh-pit clubs, shredding the night. But over time he found Punk music wanting, stuck in the confines of three loud chords. Tracy branched out. The blues of B.B. King, the bittersweet licks of the soul, always attracted Tracy. One day, as Tracy entered a video store to pick up a tape, a homeless guy out front hit him up for money. When Tracy declined to give him any, the panhandler got huffy, "Ah, hell, go back from where you came from, damn foreigner."
Tracy thought, "Indians still get no respect." The refrain stayed with him and he went home and wrote his first bluesy song -- "Native No Respect." Over time he abandoned Punk to embrace Rez blues, the music he still enjoys playing to this day.
As it happens, Tracy got older. He got a real job with Pacific Titles, a media company that did film titles for the industry. He became a special effects artist. He fathered a son, Blake, who lives in Hollywood, also skates and plays guitar. He got married, started a skateboard company called Full Blood Skateboards, that was doing well, but ownership of the company went to his ex-wife in a divorce settlement.
His latest venture, Native California Skateboards, is another example of his combining both worlds. His latest design incorporates the likeness of his great-great grandfather, Cinon Duro, a much-respected Kumeyaay religious leader. Nelson painted his grandfather using a well-known photograph as the model. Tracy is an accomplished artist.
He's all about providing Indian kids with a strong sense of identity, he says. He wants to rescue kids from the self-loathing that sometimes comes with being Indian. Nelson is convinced that replacing low self-worth with pride will steer them clear of drugs and alcohol abuse. It worked for him. Tracy has been clean and sober his whole life. Now there's something. A punker who didn't drink or smoke. He credits his dedication to skating for keeping him clean. It's a formula he hopes will help others.
These days, Tracy lives on the La Jolla Indian Reservation in North San Diego County on land his father gave him in Poomacha, where he continues to make music and create skateboards.
At 48, Tracy can still carve a pool on a skateboard.

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people suffering from serious illness. This type of care is focused on relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists. Palliative care teams specialize in treating people suffering from serious illnesses such as cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and others.
Palliative care market size is increasing in higher income countries such as European countries and Japan due to rising geriatric population suffering from chronic illness. Palliative care also includes equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, oxygen equipment, blood pressure monitors, etc.

This is an amazing account of the life of photographer Edward Curtis. It begins in 1866 in Seattle, where Princess Angeline is living in a 2 room damp shack down among the piers. She is the oldest and last surviving child of the chief of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes, and also the most famous person in Seattle, her image on china plates and other knickknacks sold to tourists of Puget Sound.
Seattle is also where Edward Sheriff Curtis runs a successful photography business. Curtis is sought out by politicians and wealthy patrons, but also trolley car drivers and sailors who have saved for a session in front of the camera.
Curtis eventually photographs Princess Angeline, first in a studio portrait, and then in Shantytown, where he captures her in her daily chores of digging clams and gathering mussels. Angeline tells of other Duwamish and Suquamish people living on the edge of the city and the Tulalip reservation to the north. He visits, even pays for access, and photographs them. This is the beginning of what becomes a lifelong endeavor of photographing all intact Indian communities left in North American before their way of life disappears.
This plan entails traveling the Southwest, the plains, the Rockies, the fjords of British Columbia and Washington State, northern California mountains and southern California desert, and the Arctic. Curtis gives up a successful photography studio in Seattle for this pursuit.
He is constantly broke and struggles to obtain backers as he continues documenting Native Americans as their numbers are plummeting. While America is laying down railroad lines and paving roads for automobiles, the Indians who wish to continue living as they always have, end up hiding from dominant ever encroaching culture (the government has banned many ceremonies and children are sent to boarding schools).
Even when Curtis presents his picture opera–Indians in hand-colored slides and film, accompanied by music–to sold out crowds at Carnegie Hall and Washington's Belasco Theater, he still faces bankruptcy: a penniless state that follows him through the rest of his life.
When he completes Volume XX of The North American Indian in 1930, thirty years have passed since the onset of the project, and Curtis is sixty-one years old. Sadly, his book goes unnoticed after his death in 1952, but resurfaces in the 1970's to great acclaim. The Curtis family set goes to the Rare Books Library at the University of Oregon, and a gallery devoted to the work of Curtis is in Seattle.
Thankfully, because of Edward Curtis' steadfast dedication to record the Native American tribes' way of life before its tragic demise, we have an immense photographic and written historical record. And because of Timothy Egan's exhaustive research, we have a sense of what Edward Curtis went through to accomplish this great feat.

Double Take - Steel, aluminium and vinyl.
The sculpture installation was made up of groups of signs placed at various sites in the Acton Arboretum. At first glance they described an object or condition. However; when the viewer compared the generic image with the actual object or condition they discovered contradictions between what they saw and the symbol on the sign. The purpose of this project was to question the nature of symbols and how they influence our thinking and our view of the world. These works show that symbols do not necessarily describe but can actually confuse or deny an actual situation.

The Obesity Society defines obesity as "excess of adipose tissue." The disease is pervasive and chronic and often diagnosed using (body mass index) BMI as a measurement. Obesity currently affects more than one third of the U.S. adult population (about 78.5 million Americans) and the rate of obesity among adults and children has been on an uptick since the early 1960s. Currently 69 percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight or have obesity.
If you have obesity you are at risk of having a shorter lifespan. You are also at risk of developing close to 30 chronic health conditions including: Type 2 diabetes, gallstones, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, GERD, stress incontinence, degenerative joint disease, birth defects, miscarriages, asthma, certain cancers and other respiratory conditions. Heart disease including hypertension, heart failure and high cholesterol is also associated with having obesity. Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may be necessary to treat plaque-filled coronary arteries. Research suggests that obesity raises the risk of post-surgical infection during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Researchers at the University of Alberta conducted a series of studies to examine the association between BMI and different outcomes following CABG and coronary angioplasty also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Results of the study series were published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
Why choose PCI instead of CABG to treat coronary artery disease (CAD)? Having more than one arterial blood vessel narrowed or blocked, compared to just one vessel, raises the risk of mortality significantly. CABG is considered major open heart surgery and therefore has a number of possible post-surgical complications. PCI formerly known as angioplasty with stent is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter to place a stent into an artery (cardiac catheterization) narrowed by plaque buildup or atherosclerosis. It's used to also reduce heart damage during or after a heart attack. A 2014 study published in Circulation found similar mortality rates between CABG and PCI (using cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluding stent) in patients with diabetes and heart disease.
In this more recent study, researchers analyzed data from 56,722 patients compiled in a large registry, and found that patients who had a BMI over 30, were 1.9 times more likely to report infections post-surgery. Another study in the series found that 88 percent of patients who had PCI were classified as obese, compared to 55 percent of patients who received CABG. The researchers theorized that PCI was being considered more often than CABG in the patient with obesity because of the notable increased postoperative rate of infection after CABG in this population. When patients develop infections after surgery, healthcare costs rise significantly. A big part of the cost is a longer hospital stay.
One theory offered regarding the higher infection rate was the possibility that chest binders used to support the wound site may not have optimal fit in patients with central obesity, (may not keep the incision edges well approximated) and allow wound infections to occur more easily.
A previous Canadian study published in 2016 noted that severely obese patients (BMI greater than 40) were most likely to have longer hospital stays compared to normal-weight patients. In fact, severely obese patients had triple the risk of infection after bypass surgery, compared to normal weight people. On average these individuals spent one extra day in the hospital. If the patients had comorbid diabetes, the hospital stay was three times longer compared to patients with neither condition. Severely obese patients were also 56 percent more likely to have complications a month after surgery, while moderately obese patients were 35 percent more likely to have complications thirty days after surgery. A study published in JAHA found higher post-operative complication rates for individuals who had obesity at the time of surgery.
Weight loss after CABG has had some perplexing results. A study in 2012 suggested that patients who remained at the same weight faced lower mortality rates than patients who lost weight after CABG. On the other hand, gaining weight post CABG (in already overweight patients or patients diagnosed with obesity) also resulted in increased rates of mortality. So though it may seem to be intuitive to try and lose weight after bypass, studies thus far have not supported that approach.
It may be beneficial to swap out poor quality foods for more nutritious foods, foods that actually support heart health. Heart patients might benefit from:
- Fatty fish instead of red meat
- Nuts instead of candy
- Nut butters, hummus and bean dips instead of condiments like mayonnaise and ketchup
- Fruits and vegetables instead of sugary treats
- Whole grain baked goods and cereals instead of highly processed grain-based products
- Fat free milk and Greek yogurt instead of full fat dairy products
If you are significantly overweight or diagnosed with obesity and have CAD that necessitates treatment, talk to your doctor about the best approach – CABG, PCI or other options – best suited for the severity of your disease and your current state of health. Given the rates of childhood obesity and the associated risk of early heart disease, weight management in this population is crucial, long before cardiac intervention is necessary. If you're having general elective surgery, it's always best to be in optimal shape before the procedure. Do talk to your doctor about whether weight loss can reduce risk of complications.

|Environmental Board
Piret Valge, an environmental education specialist at the Tartu office of the Environmental Board, is responsible for carrying out educational programmes in Tartu County and the Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve (in the Alam-Pedja Nature Centre in Kirna).
The Department of Environmental Education of the Environmental Board also organises and carries out activities promoting the field of environmental education and popularising the principles of sustainable development among target and interest groups. We organise seminars, workshops and campaigns, compile informative publications about the environment, and prepare materials for information stands about nature reserves and hiking trails as well as for the expositions of nature centres.
One of our priorities is to develop and carry out educational programmes for general education institutions and kindergartens in support of the implementation of the curricular topics "The environment and I" and "The environment and sustainable development". The educational programmes follow the principles of active learning – pupils obtain knowledge and experience through hands-on activities. We conduct programmes in nature centres, hiking trails, near or in educational institutions. Programmes are free of charge for schools and kindergartens; however, the schools must organise their own transport to the nature centre or hiking trail.

Lloris blunder means Courtois clinches Golden Glove award
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has clinched the Premier League Golden Glove award after Hugo Lloris' error ruined his clean sheet on Thursday.
Lloris charged outside of his box to meet a second-half through ball for Jaime Vardy, but was unable to clear and eventually Ben Chilwell scored with the Tottenham goalkeeper scrambling.
Editors' Picks
The goal meant little to the result, as Spurs crushed defending champions Leicester City 6-1, but it did secure Courtois the award which goes to the goalkeeper with the most Premier League clean sheets on the season.
The Belgium international has 16 clean sheets in 2016-17, while Lloris is on 15 with just one round of fixtures remaining.
Lloris could still co-win the award on the season's final day if he keeps a clean sheet against Hull City and Courtois either concedes or doesn't play against Sunderland.
The Golden Glove used to have a tie-breaker system which resulted in only one winner, but that was amended in 2013-14 to stipulate that there could be multiple winners of the award.
