Jim Calhoun Back Surgery A Success, School Says In Release
Posted: at 10:01 pm
Here’s the press release just sent by UConn:
Calhoun Undergoes Successful Surgery
STORRS (February, 27, 2012) – University of Connecticut men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun underwent successful surgery Monday morning to address foraminal spinal stenosis, a lower back condition which has forced him to take an extended medical leave of absence.
The procedure, performed at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, removed a large extruded disk fragment that was pressing on the spinal nerve and decompressed the area around the nerve. The surgery took approximately two hours and doctors expect the Hall of Fame coach to make a full recovery. He will remain hospitalized overnight and is expected to be released on Tuesday.
“I am very fortunate to have been treated by three of the very best surgeons,” Calhoun said. “My heartfelt thanks to them and the entire Beth Israel community, who have made every effort to ensure my stay is as comfortable as possible.
“Lastly, thank you to the people across Connecticut and beyond who have reached out to offer their support. It means a great deal.”
Calhoun is expected to recuperate at home after his release from the hospital, where his recovery will be monitored by his personal physician. His coaching status will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
UConn will play its final two games of the regular season Tuesday night at Providence and Saturday at home against Pittsburgh, then will participate in the BIG EAST Championship next week at Madison Square Garden.

Jessica Chastain: Was her dress a red-carpet success?
Posted: at 10:01 pm
Was it artistry — or upholstery? Jessica Chastain, Oscar nominee for her role in “The Help” (she lost to co-star Octavia Spencer) turned heads in a divisive Oscar dress that inspired love-it-or-hate-it opinions. She wore a black and gold embellished Alexander McQueen gown with Brian Atwood shoes and Harry Winston jewelry. The look landed her on many best-dressed lists — and a few lists of the worst looks.

Chastain, who sweetly brought her grandmother with her to the ceremony, told the Hollywood Reporter, “There was something about the embroidery of this dress. It felt larger than life — and this is a larger-than-life moment. I always wanted to be an actor. Most little girls dream of their wedding dresses; I grew up dreaming of my Oscar dress.”
However, our critics at the Post didn’t look as kindly upon it. “The butterfly-effect is a bit too runway for the red carpet,” wrote Katherine Boyle in our Oscars recap. “That sort of artistry works on someone like Cate Blanchett, who wore a daring Givenchy dress last year. But Chastain is a bit too young and perky to pull off that sort of bold artistry.”

The Post’s Ned Martel was even harsher in his red carpet assessment: “Her goth gown featured a mess of appliques that looked like it was licked by flames. Worse than that: Its strapless top gathered up the skin at her shoulders as if she were in a yanked-tight corset.”
Nevertheless, many other fashion critics called the dress one of the best of the evening. It landed on Vogue’s top 10 list, and People’s 15 best-dressed list, with the latter calling the gown “all-out glamour.” Twitter users also voted Chastain best-dressed, according to the AFP.

UConn says Calhoun's surgery a success
Posted: at 10:01 pm
STORRS, Conn. (AP)—University of Connecticut men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun underwent what the school says was successful surgery to address the spinal condition that has forced him to miss the Huskies’ past seven games.
The two-hour surgery was performed Monday morning at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York and involved removing a “large extruded disk fragment” that had been pressing on a spinal nerve, the school said. The surgeons then decompressed the area around the nerve.
Calhoun had been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine, normally associated with aging and sometimes with arthritis.
“I am very fortunate to have been treated by three of the very best surgeons,” Calhoun said in a statement. “My heartfelt thanks to them and the entire Beth Israel community, who have made every effort to ensure my stay is as comfortable as possible. Lastly, thank you to the people across Connecticut and beyond who have reached out to offer their support.
“It means a great deal.”
The school says Calhoun’s coaching status will be monitored on a day-to-day basis, and there is no timetable set for his return. He is expected to be released from the hospital on Tuesday and his recovery will be monitored by his personal physician, the school said.
UConn (17-11, 7-9 Big East) has gone 3-4 during Calhoun’s medical leave and 5-5 without its coach this season. He missed three earlier Big East games serving an NCAA suspension. The team will play without him again at Providence on Tuesday night.
Calhoun told The Associated Press Saturday that he hopes to be back in time to coach the March 3 season finale against Pittsburgh. The Huskies may have to win both games and perhaps another in the Big East tournament to secure an at-large bid to defend their national championship in the NCAA tournament.
Calhoun turns 70 in May and is a three-time cancer survivor. There has been talk after the past several seasons of his possible retirement, but center Alex Oriakhi said he doesn’t believe this latest health setback will mean the end of the coach’s career.
“It takes a lot to bring Coach Calhoun down,” he said. “I definitely think this is really nothing for him. That’s a man who fell off his bike, broke his ribs and kept riding. I definitely think you’re going to see him back soon. This is just a little bump in the road, but he’ll get through it.”
Former star Rudy Gay, now a forward with the Memphis Grizzlies, echoed those sentiments.
“He’s not going to be finished until he says he’s finished,” Gay said Saturday night. “His back or anything else is not going to stop him from coaching.
“It’s going to be his decision.”
