"If you have a problem with me text me. And if you don't have my number you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me." 💯

A Duke player swatted a woman's arm away on live TV Saturday. Under NCAA rules, his own head coach isn't allowed to overrule her. She's an athletic trainer. Back in 2016, the biggest conferences in college football passed a rule giving trainers and team doctors "unchallengeable autonomous authority" over medical decisions for injured players. Coaches can't override their calls, and they can't even be their boss anymore, since the rule pulled medical staff out of the coach's chain of command completely. Brian Hainline, the NCAA's top doctor at the time, called it the most important piece of legislation in NCAA history. That sounds like a lot for a rule about trainers, until you hear why they needed it. Trainers were getting steamrolled. Coaches wanted their guys back on the field, and the medical staff didn't always get the final word. Even three years after the rule passed, about a quarter of college athletic trainers told NATA they still didn't feel like they had real medical authority at their own school. So think about what she's running into. A player is down and not moving. Every trainer is taught to treat that as a possible neck injury until they know otherwise. The 2020 guidelines for spine injuries in football basically come down to keeping that head and neck still, which means one person takes the head and everybody without a job in that circle backs up. A teammate hovering over the pile is one more body that can bump him or get in the way. And in the third quarter of a rivalry game, with his ears stuck inside a helmet, a hand on the shoulder is honestly the fastest way to tell a guy to move. Look, he was worried about his teammate. Anybody who's played knows that sick feeling when your guy isn't getting up. The most useful thing he could've done for him right then was take two steps back and let her work. If Manny Diaz walked out there and shoved her aside on a medical call, Duke would be breaking NCAA rules. Somebody should probably let his cornerback know.

New York City went to the dogs today! 🐶🎃 Had a blast at the Washington Square Park Halloween Dog Parade with my friend Deborah, visiting from Australia. So many hilarious, creative costumes! 🐾

Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and the first to have her Coronation as a major royal broadcast, #QueenElizabethII made history many times over her 70-year reign. One of the lesser known moments occurred on this day in 1980, when Her late Majesty became the first British monarch to make a state visit to the Vatican, welcomed alongside the Duke of Edinburgh by Pope John Paul II. What to wear for such a monumental and protocoled occasion? Queen Elizabeth II chose a long black taffeta gown and the Vladimir Tiara, a piece she turned to again and again throughout her life. Perhaps because of the way it was designed for customisation, with space for pearls and emeralds to be swapped in and out, giving a new look to the diamond frame each time. Or perhaps the diadem made the perfect choice because of its long and fascinating history. Head to Tatler.com for the full story on this sparkling piece.

Most ballet dancers say that the most difficult thing they have ever had to do is walk down the stairs in *Cinderella*, because the ballet costume obscures their view, making it impossible to see the stairs or look down. In this video, Marianela is such a beautiful & strong dancer. She is en pointe while descending stairs!

Little helper.. 😊

This is one of the most classic on-screen blunders ever to be left in a motion picture. The scene in *Gentlemen Prefer Blondes* (1953) where Jane is pushed into a swimming pool was actually an unplanned accident—but because it was so hilarious, it was kept in the final film.

Great cake, too!
