Debra Force 13 EAST 69TH STREET SUITE 4F fine art, inc. TEL 212 734 3636 WWW.DEBRAFORCE.COM NEW YORK 10021 from the editor A rtist Milton Avery (1893�1965) was masterful at conveying visual stories by paring down his subjects to their essential elements and using swaths of color to create impressions rather than getting lost in the details. In his article Milton Avery and the End of Modernism (pages 152�159), Dr. Karl Emil Willers writes "The light, close-valued quality of Avery's color emphasizes the interrelationships between the physical objects represented in the paintings and the light or space which surrounds them." The purposeful use of color, lighting, and impact to create an impression are key elements behind the interior schemes within the home featured in this issue's Lifestyle (pages 138�151). Throughout the house the owners have created installations of specific and related materials, brought together in bursts of focused color and mass, and heightened by carefully placed illumination. The results offer an opportunity for side-by-side comparison while appreciating the scope of the collections. When people furnish their homes, they bring, what artist Edward Hopper stated about his aim in art--"the reproduction of the world that surrounds me by means of the world that is within me." (pages 162�169). In Paint, Pattern & People (pages 170�177), Wendy Cooper and Lisa Minardi explore the cultural diversity of Southeastern Pennsylvania and how it impacted the furniture of the region. The emphasis of scholarship to date has been on the furniture of Philadelphia, and though not the first examination of material outside of the urban center, this long-overdue study looks beyond a focus on specific forms and ethnic groups to a broader picture of a region, thus expanding our understanding of Pennsylvania's rich contribution to American decorative arts. This year the City of Brotherly Love welcomes the Philadelphia Antiques Show for a fiftieth year. In recognition of the natural enthusiasm to acknowledge important people and events, the loan exhibit, Antiques that Mark the Moment (pages 134�137), features fine and decorative art forms created for such purposes. Along that vein, since 2002, the Philadelphia Antiques Show has welcomed the Antiques Dealers Association of America and their annual Award of Merit dinner. This year's recipient is Morrison H. Heckscher, the Lawrence A. Fleischman Chairman of the American Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (pages 70�72). Morrie has accomplished much during his forty-five-year tenure at the museum; most recently guiding the three-phased renovation of the American Wing, set for completion in 2012. We join the ADA and all of Morrie's friends and colleagues in congratulating him on this well deserved recognition. This March marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of artist George Caleb Bingham (1811�1879) (pages 193�199). In keeping with our celebratory theme, let's follow the example of the boatman in his painting on this issue's cover and throw up our hands in appreciation of Bingham and all those whose work gives us cause to celebrate.

The Madonna, which had never before been on the market, came directly from Ram�rez to Tarmo Pasto, a visiting psychologist at the Dewitt State Hospital in California where Ram�rez was institutionalized. The historic work had been in an important Chicago private collection for forty years before making its way into the Ricco/Marsca Gallery just days before the Armory Show. Exhibiting many of the marked characteristics of a Ram�rez drawing--Mexican folk influence, concentric lines, painstaking decorative patterns -- the piece was bought by a private New York collector for approximately $500,000 within the first thirty minutes of the show's preview. The drawing had also been a part of the historic Mart�n Ram�rez: Pintor Mexicano (1859�1960) exhibit at the Centro Cultural/Arte Contemporaneo in Mexico City. Two other early works by Ram�rez also sold quickly at The Armory Show.

Among them was A Pensive Moment, one of the larger works, which captures one of the artist's models in a flower-filled garden where Knight lived in Rolleboise, some forty miles west of Paris. A native of Pennsylvania and student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Knight traveled to Paris in 1861 to study at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He returned to Philadelphia by 1863 to serve in the Union Army, removing to and settling in France by 1872. By the mid 1890s, Knight established a home in Rolleboise. Here he began to paint the scenes that were to make his work so sought after by contemporary collectors--views of his garden. Collectors from across the globe vied for these works which featured pretty local girls amongst the flowers. 12 www.antiquesandfineart.com Spring Severin Roesen (c. 1815 � c. 1872) Flowers and Fruit Oil on canvas, 22 x 35 inches Signed lower center: S.

Rau Antiques, New Orleans, LA While at an associate's home, a painting caught the eye of M.S. Rau Antiques owner Bill Rau--a still-life by Vincent van Gogh. The painting is emotional and thought-provoking; all characteristics inextricably tied to the artist. At the time he completed the piece, van Gogh was studying under his cousin, Anton Mauve, a highly accomplished artist of the Hague School. Bill asked if the owner was willing to sell, but there was no interest. The owner, however, promised to keep the offer in mind. Years passed and one day Bill learned that the owner of the painting had passed away. He tried to reach out to the heirs, but to no avail. Soon after, a friend of Bill's began speaking of a remarkable Van Gogh still-life he had seen at a party. Bill realized it was the same painting. He acquired the current owner's information and, after a little more work, the breathtaking van Gogh was finally his. Portrait of Charles Seward's Farm Attributed to Granville Bishop (1831�1902), circa 1875 Oil on fine linen 43 x 54 inches Courtesy Thurston Nichols American Antiques, Breiningsville, PA This painting is the quintessence of a folk farm scene, boasting many prized livestock, beautiful land, and a strong architectural presence. An independent appraiser saw the painting at Thurston Nichols' shop and divulged that she knew of an identical painting by the same artist and of the same farm. Her client, the owner of the other painting and a direct descendent of the farm's original proprietor, however, remained tight-lipped about its whereabouts and provenance. With just a few tidbits of information, Nichols went to work, contacting the Indiana Historical Society to try to find some leads. With their help, he discovered tax records and learned that the farm, originally owned by Charles Seward, was one of the preeminent grain farms in Howard County, Indiana, and that the painting was done by Granville Bishop, an itinerant artist working in central Indiana. One of Bishop's works is represented in the Indiana State Museum's collection. Nichols' farm portrait is the third known Granville Bishop painting in existence, and an historic representation of nineteenth century agrarian life. 14 www.antiquesandfineart.com Spring Hamburg Rooster Weathervane attributed to L.W.

Home to striking coves and rocky cliffs that rise forth from the sea, Monhegan Island has been a destination for artists since the midnineteenth century. Aaron Draper Shattuck, a second generation Hudson River School painter, visited the Island in 1858 and was one of the first to speak of it as a sublime and inspiring object. However, it wasn't until the 1880s that artists began to venture to the Island for extended periods of time, painting the innumerable views of land and sea. Such luminaries as Winslow Homer, N.C., Andrew, and Jamie Wyeth, George Bellows, and Edward Hopper have all endured the taxing trip to Monhegan Island to capture its raw and wild beauty. Private art dealer, Gavin Spanierman, recently came across a collection of fifty-three Monhegan Island paintings that have been painstakingly amassed over the last twenty-five years by a private collector.

This exhibition presents one of each of the artist's eleven monumental compositions for the Irregular Polygons series (1965�66), along with preparatory drawings and the 1974 print series Eccentric Polygons based on the Irregular Polygons. Stella uses the same shapes but varies colors in the lithograph series.

The museum-wide exhibition explores one major medium and illustrates its diversity and history through fascinating stories that span time and geographic location. "For centuries, clay has been an important medium for artists. It has been used to make unglazed earthenware vessels, exquisite porcelains, and flamboyant contemporary sculpture," said Margaret Young-S�nchez, chief curator and the Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of Pre-Colombian Art at the DAM.

For information call 202.633.1000 or visit www.npg.ci.edu Best known for his abstract mobiles and stabiles, Alexander Calder (1898�1976) was also a prolific portraitist who created hundreds of likenesses over the course of his lifetime. Calder's Portraits: A New Language sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of Alexander Calder's career and on broader narratives of twentieth-century American culture. In addition to paintings and drawings, Calder's Portraits will feature a number of the artist's famed wire sculptures. Working with the unorthodox medium of wire, Calder shaped three-dimensional portraits, achieving nuanced likenesses and vivid characters. His inventive technique was referred to as "drawing in space" and reconceived both portraiture and sculpture. "Calder's mobiles and sculptures represent some of the highest achievements in twentieth-century American art," said Martin Sullivan, director of the museum. "This exhibition explores his lesser-known yet imaginative, portraits offering insights into both Calder's perspective and his sitter's personalities." Calder's heads cast evocative shadows, change when viewed from different angles, and move if suspended from the ceiling. In this way, Calder captured the distinctive personalities of his sitters with humor and sophistication. The exhibition juxtaposes Calder's works with portraits of his subjects from the National Portrait Gallery's extensive collection of contemporary photographs, drawings and caricatures by such artist-illustrators as Paolo Garretto and Miguel Covarrubias. A catalogue, written by guest curator Barbara Zabel, accompanies the exhibition. 24 www.antiquesandfineart.com What Makes a Masterpiece Artists and Art Historians Encounter Great Art Edited by Christopher Dell; Thames & Hudson 304 pages, 285 ills, 265 in color $45; ISBN 978-0-500-23879-0 Beginning with the animal forms inscribed on cave walls and extending through to the nineteenth century, experts share their personal encounters with great art.

written by Robb Hoff
COMMENTARY | Overall, the Cincinnati Reds' 2013 season was one marked with frustration.

Reds could trade Homer Bailey to create payroll space NBC Sports
The expectations were set for the 2013 team to improve upon 2012 results, which included an NL Central title and the second-best regular-season record in baseball. Instead, the Reds finished third in their division and were bounced from the postseason with a lopsided wild-card loss.
The Reds' offseason has also proven to be frustrating for Reds Country with the loss of Shin-Soo Choo and Reds' fixtures in Bronson Arroyo and Ryan Hanigan. Furthermore, trade rumors surrounding Brandon Phillips and the inevitable free agency of Homer Bailey have soured an offseason that otherwise featured the hardly inspirational signings of Skip Schumaker and Bryan Pena.
Here are the five Reds who are the most frustrating:
Todd Frazier
As one of the most likable Reds to ever grace the uniform, Todd Frazier is a fan-favorite and impossible to dislike. But Frazier tested the patience of Reds Country on the whole with his inability to hit in 2013. The frustration was made even more pronounced as the season progressed because Frazier had started the season with solid power production -- 6 homers and 19 RBIs in the first month of the season.
But over the course of the next four months and a total of 93 games started, Frazier hit .225 with just seven more homers and 41 RBIs.
Frazier did have a decent final month -- 6 HRs and a .261 average -- but his season at the plate was on the whole considerably less than the expectation Frazier had set with a promising rookie year in 2012, in which he proved his worth filling in for inured stars Joey Votto and Scott Rolen.
Frazier finished 2013 with the same HR output (19) as he did in 2012, but it required 135 more plate appearances to reach that total in 2013. Likewise, his RBI total only increased by six from 67 to 73. His strikeout total jumped to 125 in 2013 and his batting average dropped almost 40 points from .273 to 234.
The one silver lining in the 2013 for Frazier was his defensive play over the course of the whole season. Frazier committed just 10 errors in 147 games at third base in 2013 after playing third just 79 games in 2012.
Chris Heisey
When the Reds lost left fielder Ryan Ludwick for most of the 2013 season to a shoulder injury on opening day, Chris Heisey got the chance once again to prove he could be the Reds' everyday left fielder.
Heisey had been passed by twice for the opportunity, first in favor of Jonny Gomes in 2010 and 2011 until Gomes was traded, and then in 2012 when the Reds decided to sign Ludwick instead of turning the position over to Heisey.
Heisey started slow in 2013 as Ludwick's replacement, hitting just .173 in 23 games before a hamstring sidelined him from April 27 to June 27. He was the primary starter in left field for over a month before Ludwick returned and did manage to hit .281 with a .344 on-base percentage, but the Reds decided to plant Ludwick back in left field -- all of which made Heisey's inability to claim the left-field job for the Reds even more frustrating after Ludwick flopped the last two months of the season.
Overall, Heisey hit just .237 in 2013 but floundered against right-handed pitchers as a starter, hitting just .202. Heisey may not be a five-tool outfielder, but he does possess outfield versatility (including center) and the ability to hit for power and average.
Homer Bailey
Homer Bailey has pitched two no-hitters and a masterful playoff game in 2012, but that same Homer Bailey has also taken a long time to develop to the point where he is a reliable, if not always dominant starter. Bailey has given the Reds back-to-back years of 200-plus innings with ERAs of 3.68 and 3.49, which was a long time coming for Reds Country, which has endured the substantial growing pains of Bailey -- ERAs of 4.53, 4.46 and 4.43 from 2009 through 2011.
The most frustrating part about Bailey now is that 2014 will almost certainly be his final one for the small-market Reds. Just when Bailey is reaching his full potential as a frequently dominant pitcher, it's going to be time for the Reds to wave goodbye instead of perhaps forking over more than $80 million for Bailey's services past 2014.
Jay Bruce
When will Reds right fielder Jay Bruce put it all together at the plate? Perhaps no other question in Reds Country is more asked or answered with more frustration. It's not that Bruce doesn't produce at the plate. Each year since he arrived to take over right field for the Reds, he's had more RBIs each year culminating with a career-best of 109 in 2013 and had successively more home runs each year until last year when he still hit 30.
But it is true that Bruce just can't quite get over the hump to the stardom that seems like is well within his grasp. Bruce hit for his highest average (.262) since 2010, but he also whiffed a career-high 185 times, often looking as over-matched at the plate in his sixth season as he did earlier in his career.
Until Bruce puts up monster numbers, the frustration will remain.
Mike Leake
Throughout his four years as a starter in the Reds' rotation, there have been games where Mike Leake just didn't look like he belonged in big league rotation, yet he managed to survive. Sporting ERAs of 4.23, 3.86 and 4.58 in his first three years, Leake surprised every one in 2013. His 14-7 record and 3.37 doesn't tell the story of just how surprisingly effective Leake was because his ERA was a sparkling 2.59 after his final start of July, which marked his 21st of the season.
That's when the hopes that the Reds had found their new-and-improved version of Bronson Arroyo for the future crashed and the frustration set in. In August, Leake was bombed in five of his next six starts, giving up 26 earned runs in 26.2 innings. Leake's final start of the season seemed to make the point that the frustration may be returning for 2014 after he gave up eight hits and four runs in less than two innings.
These five Reds -- and the rest of the returning team -- will have yet another chance to turn frustration into celebration.
Do you agree?

"The Food Challenge is what we call the gold standard for diagnosing food allergy," said Dr. David Fleischer, an assistant professor of pediatrics at National Jewish Hospital. "It is the best test for determining whether someone has a food allergy."
Fleischer and his colleagues discovered, in a new landmark study, that more than half the foods triggering positive blood tests could, in fact, be added safely back to the diets of patients based on food challenges.
The study seems to indicate there may be thousands of Americans, perhaps more, who aren't eating food that they probably could eat safely.
"The problem is that a lot of people think they have food allergies; there are a lot of people that have reactions to food out there, but not every reaction is a food allergy," Fleischer said.
It was that type of reaction that brought 5-year-old Ashley Garcia to the emergency room after eating an ice cream cone with nuts. The suspicion: a potentially life-threatening allergy to peanuts.
"By the time we got there, her eyes were bloodshot red and it seemed like there was a whole other layer of skin," said her father, Sergio Garcia. "She broke out in a rash."
Ashley's parents decided to allow her to undergo a food challenge, even though the risk was another dangerous allergic reaction.
"It hit me last night, that if it's going to happen, this is probably the best place for it to happen," Garcia said.
Their goal is modest.
"Ashley's goal is that she can eat Reese's peanut butter cups," Garcia said.
The food was introduced gradually, beginning with only a half gram of peanut butter. The portion was increased, and a nurse checked for allergic reactions after each serving. Finally she got the peanut butter cup.
"It's good," she said.
"[This] tells me she should be able to go and have peanut butter," said Sandy White, a registered nurse at the National Jewish Hospital. "She should be able to be around peanuts and not have a reaction."
Food challenges may be the emerging standard, but they can cost thousands of dollars; less accurate blood tests typically run about $300.
"It is a burden to do on a daily basis," Malka said. "It takes time, it takes staff, and there's always a risk associated with any food challenges ... because of an allergic reaction. But if it's done in the right setting, with the right testing behind it, it's a very safe test to do."
Now, Becky Ringstrom's kitchen is loaded with foods she calls, "Blake-safe." Currently, Blake is allowed to eat about 15 foods. Last fall, he sat down to his very first Thanksgiving meal.
"So many of the foods that he was able to gain, the sweet potatoes, the corn and the mashed potatoes, the turkey, they were all passes for him," Ringstrom said. "So to know that we can ... just sit down as a family and eat it, it was just overwhelming."

Ladd's OT goal lifts Jets over Panthers 5-4
SUNRISE, Fla. Nothing has come easy for the Florida Panthers in their playoff run. The already-eliminated Winnipeg Jets didn't give them any breaks, either.
Andrew Ladd scored two goals, including the winner 3:12 into overtime, to give the Jets a 5-4 victory over Florida that prevented the Panthers from clinching the Southeast Division title on Tuesday night.
Ladd's shot from the left circle hit the far post and went in, capping the Jets' comeback from a 3-0 deficit. Bryan Little, Zach Bogosian and Evander Kane also scored for the Jets, and Ondrej Pavelec stopped 34 shots.
Tomas Kopecky, Tomas Fleischmann, Kris Versteeg and Marco Sturm had goals for Florida, and Jose Theodore made 25 saves. Fleischmann and Versteeg both had an assist.
The Panthers missed a chance to clinch the division and secure their first playoff berth since 2000, but they need only one point in their final two games to hold off Washington. Florida could have earned a spot in the playoffs if Buffalo had lost in regulation, but the Sabres beat Toronto in overtime.
"We haven't done anything easy," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "I'm sure you've heard that from the locker room already, but we never seem to take the easy road. Unfortunately, tonight was a perfect example of that."
The Panthers will play at Washington on Thursday and then host Carolina in the regular-season finale on Saturday, but they are stumbling to the finish line. Florida is 1-2-5 in its past eight games.
"We haven't made it easy on ourselves all year. It looks like we're following that trend," said forward Stephen Weiss, who has been with the Panthers for 10 years without reaching the playoffs. "It sets up for a good one in Washington."
The Panthers had a chance to win it in regulation when Fleischmann came down the ice on a breakaway, but Pavelec stopped his shot with 21 seconds left.
"I tried to make the shot go to the back end but he got there quick," Fleischmann said. "There's nothing I can do right now until the next couple days in Washington."
Pavelec made some key saves late in the game, but none bigger than the one on Fleischmann.
"I just tried to stay focused on the breakaway," Pavelec said. "It was bad ice and I thought he was going to shoot there but he went to the backhand. I just tried to make a save there to keep the team in the game."
The Panthers tied it 4-4 with 3:53 left in regulation on a bad-angle shot from Kopecky that came from below the left circle.
The Jets got even at 3 just 53 seconds into the third when Ladd's shot from the right circle beat Theodore on the glove side.
Taking advantage of a power play, the Jets took the lead on Little's goal at 3:45 when his wrist shot from the right circle got past Theodore and made it 4-3.
The Jets weren't particularly motivated by playing the role of spoiler.

A really lovely hotel. It is set near the M74 but noise levels are limited by double glazing. Nice new wing with patio doors onto terraced areas. The hotel is made by the staff who are caring, helpful and thoughtful. Would stay again without hesiatation. less
We recently attended a wedding with an overnight stay at the Dryfesdale and i cannot fault it. The food, the staff and the service where amazing and it really made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. My husband and I had a lovely, comfortable room ( a lot lot nicer than i was expecting) and breakfast in the conservatory just finished off our stay nicely. Would recommend this hotel to anyone. less
Can not recommended this place enough! Glen, Lynne and Team certainly go out their way to ensure everything is perfect not only on the day but in the 16 months preparation before hand. All our friends and family are all talking about the very high standard our wedding was and how the food was absolutely fantastic! Having taken over the whole hotel for the weekend we had such a fantastic time especially at our farewell breakfast you organised for us. See you Friday night for steak night!! Thank you once again Mr and Mrs Naish. less
I have stayed at this hotel several times with work and they are always friendly and very helpful. The rooms are spotlessly clean and beds very comfy.
The restaurant food is fantastic and I have never had a bad meal, I also had a very fussy eater in my group whom was both vegetarian and gluten intolerant and they could not have been more helpful. Special meals were prepared without any issues at all.
I have also seen a few weddings at the hotel and the reception rooms are stunning.
All in all a excellent experience and I intend to use this hotel again in the very near future. less
Of all the hotels you could choose from in Lockerbie this has to be the number one choice. From the luxurious restaurant with a superb choice menu through to the rooms where you stay, there is a relaxing ambiance that permeates the very air you breathe.
The main priority of the hotel is the comfort of their customers and going the extra mile to ensure that is in their work ethos.
The staff are excellent and very polite, working with a professionalism that comes from a strong leadership team.
Their were thirty guests for my daughters wedding reception and each of the meal settings were served at the same time to all of the guests.
The culinary skills far exceed your expectations with dishes executed to perfection.
In the evening a separate lounge was reserved for the wedding party courtesy of the hotel which was greatly appreciated.
The surrounding grounds have stunning countryside views which are a pleasure to behold.
After sampling the delights of this superb establishment for a few days, my wife and I both agree we will be making a return visit in the very near future. less

8 Things I Felt Guilty About When I Dropped My Kid Off at School This Morning - What have you felt guilty about?
8 Things I Felt Guilty About When I Dropped My Kid Off at School This Morning
The academic year is barely underway, but from the load of parental guilt I'm lugging around, you'd think it was mid-March. Usually I don't reach this level of school-related maternal self-loathing until at least a couple of sub-par, hastily thrown together science projects and/or book reports have been handed in late -- and yet, here we are, not even done with September and I'm already stewing in remorse. Dang, we haven't even hit "I forgot to sign the permission slip" season yet!
Tonight, it's all I can do to recall, with a cringe, the many mistakes I made when I sent my almost 8-year-old son to school this morning ...
Quoting SpnFulOfSugar:
I would call and let her know the situation.
Quoting Lorena:
So far the only thing I feel guilty about is not something I have any control over. Every other Friday I do not get to see what is in my skids bags because bm picks them up as soon as they get off the bus. She then takes them to school that Monday. This last Friday she wrote me a note. I didn't see it so it was not answered. She wrote me a ling note about answering notes that she sends. Ugh
He is always clean and dressed nice.. He always eats.. Guess the thing I feel guilty about is not making him brush his teeth every morning...
Yes same here. They only have 3 colors and I only bought 2 cause the white dirty quickly. So it's navy and red and I just wash the red one last night so the navy is stained up. Ughh I don't understand how people like uniform.
Quoting Fairywings1223:
I hate the uniform shirts. Mine have to wear a three button polo or school approved shirt which they call S shirts. It has a small logo of the county on them.Quoting jmama0307:
OK one of the most thing I feel really guilty is when my son comes home and he uniform shirt is dirty. He puts it the other day. I only got 3 shirts so he dirty all of them and I hand wash one so it's still wet so he has to put the dirty one. I feel horrible sending him to school like that but if school didn't have uniform he would be wearing good clothes and not the same repeated shirt.
Dam I head of the game LOL shoot! I am good mom... my son has nice clothes on homework done breakfast in belly meds taken LOL
Some mornings its we are running so late she didn't get breakfast...One morning I think I forgot to brush her hair (she's 5 and usually fights me, I had no time that morning) Otherwise today I hate that I forgot to get cash yesterday so she has her $7 and permission slip for the field trip to the pumpkin patch in October. Luckily I still have time to send it. I also feel bad because I let her choose if she wants me to pack a lunch or if she wants school food and I forgot she wanted to take lunch today but she reminded me as we were about to leave...so school food it is. Nothing too horrible though.
Dd hair is always a mess. I brush it and do ponytails or headbands, but I always feel it's too messy :/
Quoting Anonymous:
This is my dd's first year of school and I admit that I drive myself crazy trying to get everything perfect and organized. One morning she biffed and scratched her face under her eye just an hour before school. She went in red and puffy, I thought for sure I was going to get a call. That's about it so-far though.

Call it a career highlight. When CNN's Randi Kaye travelled to Colorado to investigate the booming recreational marijuana industry, the giggly report she eventually filed raised some eyebrows, with Anderson Cooper even going so far as to state, "I think she was high!"
Cooper made the clip the subject of his Ridiculist segment, mocking Kaye's allegedly doobie-influenced delivery.
By the end of her visit in Colorado, he hinted, "Randi had gotten very comfortable and had gotten a very thorough bud-ucation."
Celebs Who Have Come Out As Gay Or Bisexual
"So here's what happened Friday," he continued. "Randi was reporting on the new so-called ganja-preneurs" who run cannabis tours throughout the city.
"Basically she rode around in a limousine all day with the windows rolled up," he explained, as her "sources" smoked themselves silly.
"It smelled like Willie Nelson's bandanna in there, I'm sure!" Cooper joked.
PHOTOS: The Name Game – Celebs Who've Changed Their Names
And Kaye admitted, laughing, "We did very extensive research, I have to tell you."
"I wasn't thinking right…" she said, and admitted that she couldn't even remember her prepared questions, which had never before happened to her. Still, she insisted, "It was just a contact high."
"Just to be clear i'm not taking 'pot' shots at Randi Kaye," Cooper joked. "It's just that many of us in the newsroom thought this was pretty much the greatest 'live hit' in the history of the program."
Was she really stoned? You be the judge! Watch the video here on RadarOnline.com:

FOX Sports Exclusive
The top stories of 2009
Share This Story
To be completely accurate, it was a very good two years for Lakers star Kobe Bryant.
When the Lakers had put the finishing touches on their NBA Finals triumph over the Magic, it completed one of the more amazing individual runs in basketball history for Bryant.
During that stretch, Bryant won a regular-season MVP, carried the Lakers to the 2008 Finals, was the heart and soul of the United States' gold-medal winning basketball team, shared the All-Star MVP award with former teammate and rival Shaquille O'Neal and helped L.A. return to the Finals, where it won its 15th title with Bryant earning Finals MVP honors.
And for good measure, he won't ever have to hear again about how he hadn't won a title without the aforementioned O'Neal.
Hard to get
|Super Bowl XLII: Giants vs. Patriots
|Summer Games Basketball
|Summer Games Opening Ceremony
|Super Bowl XLI: Colts vs. Bears
|Summer Games Closing Ceremony
|MTV Video Music Awards
|Super Bowl XXXVII: Bucs vs. Raiders
|World Cup: Japan vs. Brazil
"I don't have to hear that criticism, that idiotic criticism anymore," Bryant said. "That's the biggest thing. I don't have to hear that stuff anymore."
9. Roddick makes Federer work for it
That looks like a low-scoring football game, complete with either a safety or a botched extra point. Or it's an offensively robust baseball game, probably pre-Mitchell Report. It could be the final score in the NHL All-Star game or a particularly inept first quarter of an NBA contest.
What it does not look like is the score of the final set of the men's final at Wimbledon. But that's precisely what it was.
Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick 16-14 in the longest set in Wimbledon history -- 30 tension-filled games played at the highest level of competition.
It was only fitting, given what was at stake. When the match finally ended, 4:16 after it started, with Federer breaking Roddick for the first time all day, the Swiss star had broken the record he shared with Pete Sampras for career Grand Slams with No. 15.
8. Will Favre get the last laugh?
In 2008, Brett Favre's "retirement" only lasted three months. In 2009, Favre remained retired twice as long before deciding to return to the NFL, this time as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
At this rate, it'll take a few more retirements before Favre is finally able to hang them up for good.
But no matter. Given the level he's been performing at in 2009, it might be a while before the Vikings want Favre to call it quits … at least, and actually mean it.
For the first three-quarters of the season, Favre was performing at an MVP level. After Week 12, the Vikings were 10-1 and Favre was putting up the best numbers of his career — 24 TDs, compared to just three interceptions.
Included among those 10 wins were two highly emotional ones against the team for whom he'd played most of his 18-year career. In those two games against the Packers, Favre had seven TDs and zero interceptions.
Favre and the Vikes have stumbled down the stretch, dropping three of four games while Favre was openly feuding with head coach Brad Childress over the Ol' Gunslinger's propensity to audible out of the plays Childress was calling.
Will the result be a third retirement in as many years? Or will Favre deliver a third stirring victory over his former team in the playoffs? We'll have to wait until 2010 to find out.
7. Come back and see us
When last we saw Lance Armstrong on the national stage, he was doing what he always did — wearing a yellow jersey and sipping champagne during a leisurely ride down the Champs-Elysees.
So when the seven-time Tour de France champion announced he would be coming out of retirement and riding in the 2009 Tour (four years after his final victory), there were very real concerns that Armstrong might damage his legacy with an embarrassing performance.
But given how the cancer survivor has frequently defied the odds throughout his career, we probably shouldn't have worried.
Armstrong didn't win. And there was that uncomfortable pissing match with teammate and eventual winner Alberto Contador over who was going to be the alpha dog on the Astana team.
But in finishing third at age 37, Armstrong didn't do a thing to damage his reputation. In fact, he enhanced it, no small feat for the greatest cyclist in history.
6. Old Man Watson beats time, but not Cink
Thirty-two years after his legendary "Duel in the Sun" with Jack Nicklaus in the 1977 British Open, Tom Watson returned to Turnberry for one last moment in the sun.
Watson, a five-time British Open champion, was a par putt on No. 18 away from adding a sixth Claret Jug to his collection and becoming golf's oldest major champion — by 11 years!
It was a moment no one even dreamed could happen … right up until that final hole, when Watson's approach shot settled just off the fringe, leaving him two putts away from the greatest win in golf history.
For 71 holes, Watson didn't play like a man just a few months shy of his 60th birthday. Unfortunately, on No. 72, he putted like one. His three-putt effort, which included an 8-footer for the tournament that never had a chance, allowed Stewart Cink to force a four-hole playoff.
Watson never recovered and Cink would win the playoff by six strokes.
Confronted with a somber press corps when he took the podium for his post-round press conference, Watson attempted to lighten the mood.
"This ain't a funeral, you know," Watson said.
No it wasn't. But it did feel like a little bit of us died.
5. Un-four-gettable
It's hard to believe, but there was a time when Jimmie Johnson didn't have the whole Chase for the Cup thing wired.
In two of the first three seasons after NASCAR adopted the 10-race "Chase" format to determine its champion, Johnson was running away with the title during the regular season, only to stumble during the stretch run and allow someone else (Kurt Busch in 2004 and Tony Stewart in 2005) to claim the Cup.
Clearly, Johnson, his crew chief Chad Knaus and the rest of the No. 48 team have figured something out.
Johnson won a fourth straight Sprint Cup title in 2009, breaking a tie with Cale Yarborough for most consecutive Cup titles. And if it hadn't been for the historic implications of that championship, it may very well have been the most anticlimactic title of the entire year.
Instead? It solidifies Johnson's place as the top driver of his generation, while putting him in the running for the greatest of all time.
4. Yanks spend their way to the top
At the start of the 2009, the New York Yankees were facing the unpleasant (at least for them) prospect of the decade ending with only one World Series title to their credit.
OK, so that wouldn't exactly qualify as the second coming of the Curse of the Bambino and they probably wouldn't be shedding any tears for the Bombers in Kansas City or Pittsburgh.
But given the billion or two the Yankees have handed out in player salary during the aughts, having just that one World Series trophy to show for it would have arguably qualified as one of the bigger upsets of the last 10 years.
Of course, it didn't happen.
The $423.5 million in offseason acquisitions (CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett) joined forces with the biggest contract in baseball (Alex Rodriguez's 10-year $275 million deal) and the four holdovers from the Yanks' last title (Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte) to beat the defending champion Phillies in six games and claim their 27th championship.
Hey, sometimes you get what you pay for.
3. One for the other thumb
When the Steelers won the Super Bowl in just Ben Roethlisberger's second season in the league, it was in spite of their quarterback's play, rather than because of it.
The same could not be said of Pittsburgh's win in Super Bowl XLIII.
The surprising Arizona Cardinals had just taken a 23-20 lead with 2:37 left in the game, thanks to a 64-yard touchdown pass from Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald.
Faced with the unpleasant prospect of being on the wrong end of one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history, Roethlisberger and wide receiver Santonio Holmes went to work. The two would hook up four times for 71 yards on the game's penultimate possession, including a 6-yard TD pass with 27 seconds remaining that would prove to be the game-winner.
In doing so, the Steelers became the first team in franchise history to win a sixth Lombardi Trophy.
2. Still no bottom to MLB steroids scandal
After almost 10 years of bad news involving MLB and steroids, there was the hope heading into the decade's final 365 days (however naïve) that the worst was over. From BALCO to the congressional hearings to the Mitchell Report, everyone who was going to get busted had been busted, right?
With one leaked report, Alex Rodriguez went from the man who was going to save the all-time home run record from that cheater Barry Bonds to … well, Barry Bonds.
At least A-Rod's induction into the fraternity of baseball cheats came courtesy of a positive test in 2003, which was supposed to remain anonymous and came before baseball had actually outlawed the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Manny Ramirez can't say that.
In 2009, Manny being Manny involved the use of human chorionic gonadotropin, a women's fertility drug. Assuming that Ramirez is not presently with child, it's likely he was taking hCG for its other use — helping steroid users coming off a cycle jump start their natural testosterone production.
Ramirez was hit with a 50-game suspension for a first-time violation of the league's steroid policy. And when he returned, well, let's just say that .269 average certainly seemed to suggest that something was different.
Oh well, we can always hope steroids won't be the story of the next decade. Because they certainly were the story of this one.
1. The fall of Tiger
In a year dominated by sex scandals both tragic (Steve McNair's apparent murder at the hands of his mistress) and at least somewhat comic (really, Rick Pitino, the booth at your favorite Italian restaurant in Louisville?), the biggest of the year — and the decade — was saved for last.
One day before Thanksgiving, word leaked that the National Enquirer was going to publish a story claiming Tiger Woods was having an affair with a New York City nightclub manager named Rachel Uchitel.
Given both the source of the report and the subject's impeccable record (both professionally and personally), the story could have very well ended there … if not for what happened next.
Woods was involved in a single-car accident in the early-morning hours on the day after Thanksgiving. While leaving his Isleworth, Fla. home, Woods' Cadillac Escalade collided with a hedge, a fire hydrant and finally a tree … all within the span of a few hundred feet.
The media firestorm that ensued included, but was by no means limited to:
- Speculation that, contrary to the official stance of Woods and his representation, Tiger's wife had used a golf club for a purpose other than rescuing her unconscious husband from the Escalade.
- A parade of women numbering in the double digits claiming to have had affairs of varying lengths with Woods.
- A panicked voice mail from someone sounding an awful lot like Woods to one of those women in which he asked her to take her name off her cell phone because his wife had seen her name appear on his phone.
- Rumors that photos of Woods either naked or engaged in sexual intercourse were in existence and therefore available for publication.
- A New York Times report that a Canadian sports doctor who had previously treated Woods was under investigation by the FBI for allegedly providing human growth hormone to athletes.
- Several of Woods' sponsors severing ties with the superstar golfer.
- Woods announcing on his Web site that he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from the sport that made him the first billionaire athlete.
It just goes to show: You never know what the future will bring.

With AMC's acclaimed drama 'Breaking Bad' heading into its final eight episodes this summer, fans of the New Mexican meth drama have begun taking stock of the many aspects to be missed when the saga comes to an end. High among them will be Bob Odenkirk's portrayal of the lovably grimy Saul Goodman, but is AMC actually considering a spinoff for the character? It's too late for April Fools, so find out inside!

UPDATE – 'Breaking Bad' Season 5: When Do The Final Episodes Begin?
Regardless of any show-runner drama between 'Breaking Bad' creator Vince Gilligan and AMC, it's heart-breaking to think that 2013 will see the final eight episodes of 'Breaking Bad,' closing the door on a series that captivated fans and critics alike for years. We'd known the the final eight episodes would air sometime during the summer, as with the previous eight episodes in 2012, but when does 'Breaking Bad' officially kick off its final run?

'Breaking Bad' Season 5: Dean Norris Tweets Out First Photos
Despite all the recent AMC drama with yet another show-runner departing both the network and 'The Walking Dead,' and 'Sons of Anarchy' creator Kurt Sutter calling out the executives, we're at least grateful that 'Breaking Bad' will end things on its own terms come summer 2013. There are a number of questions to be addressed in the final eight episodes, but how would you like a first look from series star Dean Norris? Just how deep was Hank Schrader's big toilet revelation?
AMC Orders Revolutionary War and '80s Computer Dramas from 'Breaking Bad,' 'Nikita' Producers
While 'The Walking Dead' will shamble on for years to come and both 'Breaking Bad' and 'Mad Men' still have some life in them yet, 'Hell On Wheels' remains halted on the tracks and it's no secret that AMC is going to need some new buzz-worthy programming to keep its current acclaim. Who better to come to the rescue then, than 'Breaking Bad's own producer Melissa Bernstein with '80s "Silicon Prairie" drama 'Halt & Catch Fire?' And who needs 'Hell On Wheels' when you have Revolutionary War drama 'Turn!' Details on AMC's latest inside!
HBO's Cold War Drama 'The Missionary' Casts A 'Breaking Bad' Star After All
Earlier this year we heard the exciting news that (soon-to-be former) 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul was considered the frontrunner for the title role in HBO's upcoming drama 'The Missionary,' shooting after the AMC drama's 2013 end. That role was recently given to 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' star Benjamin Walker after scheduling difficulties with Paul, but the show has netted yet another 'Breaking Bad' star, also one-time 'Friday Night Lights' star Jesse Plemons. Wait til you hear who he plays!
'Mythbusters' to Do 'Breaking Bad' Episode with Aaron Paul and Vince Gilligan: Yeah Science!
Yeah, Mr. Savage! Yeah, Mr. Hyneman! It what will surely turn out to be the news of the week (discounting that whole Disney 'Star Wars' thing), it seems that the science of 'Breaking Bad' will finally be put to the test, as 'Mythbusters' is set to tackle the AMC meth drama series in an upcoming episode. Series creator Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul will even take part in the episode, but which of 'Breaking Bad's infamous scientific scenes will the 'Mythbusters' put to the test?
'Breaking Bond': Aaron Paul Parties With Pierce Brosnan at Radiohead, Awesomeness Ensues
What did you do this weekend? Catch up on 'Breaking Bad,' or watch the James Bond saga before 'Skyfall' hits theaters? Well, Aaron Paul and Pierce Brosnan sure weren't. Both of them were out partying at the Radiohead concert in London, where they almost got kicked out and an awesomely hilarious photo (shown above) was created.

At 60, Stampfel has some money. Raised lower-middle-class, a poster boy for voluntary poverty through his thirties, he's now upper-middle-class. Concomitantly, his music seems more and more avocational, grossing just enough to make expenses deductible. He plays out a dozen times a year, usually in Manhattan hasn't hit Boston since 1990, D.C. since 1981 and in the '90s his always spotty catalogue added only the 1995 Gert Town cover album You Must Remember This . . . Late parenthood can do that to you, especially when compounded by parrots; Stampfel blames his girls, rather than his publishing job, for bringing his hundred-book-a-year intake down to 10, and dads who love their kids avoid the road. In addition, skeptics might figure he's gotten too straight off psychedelics in 1976 and speed in 1977, he joined AA in 1988 after various cosmic indicators that included an occult reading of William Kennedy's Ironweed and Betsy's threat to throw him out of the house.
As it happens, however, the Gert Town album, produced in New Orleans by Stampfel's friend Mark Bingham, is the best-realized recording of his career except Have Moicy!, his 1976 day at the commune with Jeffrey Frederick and Michael Hurley. Nor does Too Much Fun, first fruit of four days on an Ontario studio-farm in May 1998, pale against Holy Modal Rounders, the slightly revised CD version of the two startling 1964 Prestige albums that Fantasy will release in September. If the voices have lowered and lost definition, if the eccentricity value has worn off over 35 years, the spirit is no less enthusiastic, iconoclastic, ludic, loving, or nutty or collaborative. Stampfel loves to collaborate, and from Paul Presti to Jeffrey Frederick to Gary Lucas, he's made the most of some notoriously problematic partners, although several of the Rounders albums as well as the second with his '80s band, the Bottle Caps, wander off into an excess of democracy. But Weber who Wollheim aptly sums up as having infinite id, plenty of ego, and no superego whatsoever is his brother from another planet.
Always on-again off-again, their professional relationship achieved total hiatus between 1981 and 1996, during which time Stampfel made Weber the dedicatee of a caustic little something called "Lonely Junkie"; since they started gigging again, he's kept up a running account of Weber's drinking. In fact, Stampfel likes to attribute the success of the Too Much Fun sessions to the unavailability of hard liquor where it was recorded, which leapfrogs over what put them in the same province an affable appetite for American song that's never sententious and never cute. Stampfel's the intense seeker, Weber the mellow layabout; where Stampfel is all comic focus, whether comic ha-ha or comic-as-opposed-to-tragic, Weber is someone who can just not give a fuck while remaining both charming and musical. A lifetime of dissolution has not been kind to his chops literally, since he has no teeth left and that's too bad. But it's truer to the Holy Modal idea to risk near incompetence than to approximate mere folk music, as happens a few times with the Prestige material. The magic of Too Much Fun isn't eternal youth these guys are as much old codgers as John Hurt and Clarence Ashley in 1963. It's the celebration of play as the fundamental life-principle. Stampfel's triumph is that he's integrated this principle into an existence in which he goes to a day job and loves so many people and parrots. Should his music turn avocational in the bargain, well, not even music precedes play itself.
But if Peter Stampfel is too straight, neither his life nor his music shows it. He's had his doubts about kids and drugs since two seventh-grade hitchhikers gave him a detailed rundown of the local pot market before an Avalon Ballroom gig in 1968 "We now know that drugs and alcohol have a bad effect on the child and teenage mind and its development" and included in this latest recording of Robin Remailly's psychedelic praise song "Euphoria" a verse about junkie mothers boosting Simulac. But he likes himself too much to turn revisionist. "Amphetamine I actually learned a whole bunch of stuff from. It was a teaching tool, it mentored me in a way. Only I learned the lesson that it was teaching me by about 1969 and that was time to graduate. You've got your riding-the-tiger allegory it's easy to ride on the tiger's back, it's very difficult to dismount. That's the way drugs tend to be. I can appreciate people in their twenties drinking a lot and getting into," he paused. "Being in your twenties and not at least trying alcohol and marijuana seems kind of unnatural." As for his vocation and great passion, Too Much Fun is the first in a series the great lost third Bottle Caps album is due from Rounder in January, a second Rounders album six months later. Still seeking labels are a Du-Tels album with Gary Lucas and a second Bingham-produced solo project, 14 originals and three covers: "This is the one that's really gonna be a serious pisser well, he said, he alleged."
Stampfel will keep on alleging. Rounder wants the Rounders to tour, which given Weber's unreliability I've seen him unable to hold on to his capo makes Stampfel nervous. But a trial gig in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, sold out, and next morning there was a message on my answering machine: "I just wanted to say we met Weber's new girlfriend and she was great. He was a new man. He only had two beers! All he needed was the love of a good woman."

posted at 8/16/2010 3:35 PM EDTHas anyone tried acupuncture (or any other complimentary medicine) to assist in this (ever so tiresome!) TTC journey. I am thinking of trying it, alongside Clomid/IUI.
I'd welcome any thoughts/shared experiences/advice.
Re: Acupuncture
posted at 8/16/2010 4:14 PM EDTPrill, YES! I started acupuncture in January/February to help control my thyroid and support TTC. The winter was a dark time for me-- I was just depressed, so upset that my body wasn't cooperating and just felt helpless. Perhaps it was that acupuncture made me feel like I was doing something, not just being a passive subject in the TTC process, but it really made me feel better. I cannot say enough about it! It's expensive-- I would say that's the major drawback. (However, if you have a flexible spending account, you can pay for your sessions from there, which provides a tax advantage.) But it pulled me through the most difficult time in my life for sure, and successfully supported TTC (I am ~9 weeks along). I am continuing acupuncture at least through 14 weeks to help prevent miscarriage. In addition, I haven't had so many first trimester symptoms, and I am sure that is likely attributable to acupuncture as well. My acupuncturist is just awesome. I highly, highly recommend it! Good luck!
Re: Acupuncture
posted at 8/16/2010 4:52 PM EDThi prill - i did acupuncture when i was on clomid. started it by chance right around my second cycle of clomid which was the one in which i got PG. did it through the first tri based on the acu's recommendation. i def. think it helped and recommend it. my acu's office was FILLED with christmas cards and birth announcements thanking him for helping people TTC - so i think there must be something to it!! (of course, be careful of the double whammy, twins with clomid and acu - that's what the nurses at the infertility group at BWH told me they thought did it!). i went to acuheal acupuncture which is at whittier place in boston (random location)... acu is a little annoying due to the time commitment (i think i was going 2x a week? can't remember) and cost but it really might work for you - i'd say do it if you can! :)

posted at 8/17/2010 11:07 AM EDTIf you're near the Cambridge area (or willing to travel to Cambridge), I highly recommend Justine at Acupuncture Together (http://www.acupuncturetogether.com). It's community acupuncture and you can pay on a sliding scale (so visits can be as low as $20).
I started going when I was TTC and was pg the following month. I'm now almost 10 weeks along and still going every week to prevent miscarriage and manage my 1st trimester symptoms. I've been very happy with it.

posted at 8/17/2010 12:13 PM EDTThis is all sounding very positive. I have called a clinic, had a long conversation with the Doctor and am going in for my first appointment tomorrow morning. He said it is a great time to start, before I start my Clomid/IUI over the next few weeks.
I am going to Shanghai Acupuncture in Brookline. It is expensive, but seems to get great reviews; I have had acupuncture in the past for other concerns, and if these sessions relax me half as much as the former ones did, then it will be well worth the investment.

I see a great acupuncturist in Waltham, Brendan Carney at Central Path. I am pregnant and see him for prenatal acupuncture but I know he does work to help with fertility as well. http://www.centralpathacupuncture.com/

I've noticed that when an instance with an overloaded str method is passed to the print() function as an argument, it prints as intended. However, when passing a container that contains one of those instances to print(), it uses the repr method instead. That is to say, print(x) displays the correct string representation of x, and print(x, y) works correctly, but print([x]) or print((x, y)) prints the repr representation instead.
First off, why does this happen? Secondly, is there a way to correct that behavior of print() in this circumstance?
