...McCaffery just was outstanding in Europe,” Delaney-Smith said. “She’s a front court player who can shoot the three like no one in the world, except for Kate Ides [’03]. As I said, I think Maureen was a defensive force in Europe...
...rods of the external fixator held the bones in place for the first two months after her legs were broken. That came off June 26, she recalls. Lynch has a crisp memory for dates: how long she was in which hospital, which day she made which breakthrough--everything except the first, darkest moments of her captivity. Of those, she says she has no recollection. Otherwise, she is organized, thorough, precise. Perfect qualities for a supply clerk.

Kids who wear tight shoes are more likely to have foot problems later on. But what's the parent of a squirmy, toe-curling toddler to do? Preschoolians shoes look like ordinary children's footwear except for one thing: they have see-through bottoms to help ensure proper fit. Like the rest of the sole, the viewing window is made of durable polyvinyl acetate (think kickballs and teething rings), and the parts are heat fused to prevent cracks or splits. Your child may still trip over his own feet now and then, and let's face it, a hammertoe...
