user: Buddy Fletcher lawyer walks after non-payment
Disgraced hedge fund investor Alphonse “Buddy” Fletcher has another court date Wednesday against the famed Dakota co-op — but it’s not clear who’ll represent him.

His lawyer dropped Fletcher after the one-time high-flying Wall Streeter failed to pay him.

Carl T. Peluso’s office confirmed on Tuesday he is no longer on the case.

Peluso had been handling Fletcher’s landlord-tenant dispute in which the Dakota claims the former hedgie owes maintenance on an apartment he bought for his mother in 2002.

Peter M. Levine, who represents the mother, Bettye R. Fletcher, said he didn’t expect any dramatics in the courtroom during the hearing in the landlord-tenant dispute.

“Don’t expect a lot of Perry Mason moments,” he said.

The one-time hedgie’s Fletcher Asset Management has been called a Ponzi scheme by the bankruptcy court-appointed trustee overseeing its dissolution.

Two apartment and two storage rooms owned by Fletcher have already been taken over by the Dakota and are for sale.

Q: Breast implants may improve women's sex lives, study suggests

Getting breast implants may alter a woman’s sex life for the better.

According to a new study from Brazil, women who had cosmetic surgery to enhance their breast size experienced a significant increase in arousal and satisfaction following the procedure, HealthDay News reported. However, the researchers also found that women who had stretch marks after getting breast implants did not experience the same improvement in their sex lives.

The study included 45 women who were planning on undergoing breast augmentation. Before the surgery, Dr. Paulo Guimaros and his colleagues gave the women a questionnaire to assess the quality of their sex lives and sexual satisfaction. The women took the same questionnaire two, four and 18 months after the operation.

Of the 36 women who did not develop stretch marks after the surgery, all reported improved levels of arousal and more satisfaction with their sexual experiences, according to HealthDay News.

To explain the study’s finding, some experts argued that getting breast implants can help boost a woman’s confidence in the bedroom.

"I think that the female breast is a very important part of a woman's body, in terms of how a woman feels about herself in public, how her clothes fit and how she feels about herself sexually," Dr. David Reath, chair of the public education committee of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), told HealthDay News. "It's very common for a woman post-surgery to say she feels more confident, that her outward body now fits her inward persona."

However, some experts believe that other psychological factors may be contributing to this finding.

"When we have exerted a great effort, spent a great deal of money and effort and time on something, we tend to justify that effort," Tomi-Ann Roberts, a distinguished professor of psychology at Colorado College, told HealthDay News. "Our good feeling is increased because of the effort, not the thing itself."

The study’s results will be presented this week at the ASPS annual meeting in San Diego.

‘My All American’ fumbles its true story

Football, that increasingly embattled national pastime, sure could use a feel-good story. Along comes “My All American,” with its unironic love of God, country, Texas, family and a can-do spirit. You’d be forgiven for thinking it was a presidential candidate’s commercial — but no, it’s the true story of Freddie Steinmark, a high school football star from Colorado who made up for his relatively small size by playing harder than just about anyone. He won a scholarship to UT Austin, where he helped lead the Longhorns to the championship in 1969.

But debut director Angelo Pizzo, writer of “Hoosiers” and “Rudy,” fails to intermingle off-the-field human interest with game play, which is what generally makes sports movies appealing to a wider audience (including this critic). Instead, he front-loads his many, many scenes of Freddie’s ascendancy as a safety for UT, then veers abruptly into drama for the film’s final act.

Finn Wittrock (“American Horror Story”) brings a sunny charisma to his portrayal of the indefatigable Freddie, but can’t help coming off a little Pollyanna, as one of his teammates calls him, when he’s written as so one-dimensionally earnest. His girlfriend (Sarah Bolger) and parents (Robin Tunney and Michael Reilly Burke) adore him; his teammates admire and emulate him. As the team’s hard-driving Coach Darrell Royal, even Aaron Eckhart can’t wring much edge from Pizzo’s screenplay.

“My All American” would have done better to dig deeper in its portrayal of a man who set such a high bar for the intrinsic character of a football player. Because he’s actually the kind of example the sport could really use right now.
