CLEVELAND (August 25, 2008) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibit that will commemorate the influence of one of the most significant radio stations in modern music. WMMS: A Cleveland Legend Turns 40, opens Friday, August 29 on the third floor of the Rock Hall.
Since it first went on the air nearly four decades ago on September 28, 1968, Cleveland's 100.7 WMMS-FM has earned a coveted place in the history of radio. The station played a key role in breaking such rock icons as David Bowie, Roxy Music, Rush and Bruce Springsteen. Along with its impressive playlist, WMMS has been home to such legendary deejays as Billy Bass, "Kid Leo" Travagliante, "Matt the Cat" Lapczynski, Len "Boom Boom" Goldberg, Ed "Flash" Ferenc, Jeff Kinzbach, Betty Korvan, Murray Saul, Steve Lushbaugh and, more recently, Rover.
In celebration of its 10-year anniversary, the station hosted and broadcast a live Springsteen concert from the Agora theater in Cleveland, which was one of the most heavily bootlegged concerts of the rock era. WMMS was also famous for hosting the Coffee Break Concerts series on the air, presenting such artists as Warren Zevon, U2, John Mellencamp, Lou Reed, Marc Cohn and Peter Frampton.
"WMMS has a tremendous history," said Jim Henke, the Rock Hall's Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs. "We are proud to be able to share this history with our visitors. And it's appropriate that the exhibit be here at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, since WMMS played a key role in bringing the Museum to Cleveland."
The WMMS exhibit will feature a variety of artifacts, including the original artwork for the station's Buzzard logo David Helton, airchecks from the deejays, original photos, gold and platinum records, interoffice memos, and video and listening stations. The impact of one of America's most influential radio stations will be evident in this exhibit.
Readers of Rolling Stone magazine voted WMMS as "Radio Station of the Year" nine years in a row, and to this day the station remains a powerful influence. In 2005 and 2006, WMMS has won the Radio and Records Industry and Achievement Award for Rock Station of the Year Markets 1-25.

Primary sequence and post-transcriptional modification pattern of an unusual mitochondrial tRNA(Met) from Tetrahymena pyriformis
In a previous investigation of the rDNA region in Tetrahymena pyriformis mitochondrial DNA, we identified a putative tRNA(Met) gene [Heinonen et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 2879-2887]. On the basis of Northern hybridization analyses, we suggested that this gene is expressed, even though the resul...

Today's room feature is brought to you by one of my very favorite bloggers. Paula, mother of two gorgeous kids, writes daily inspirational posts featuring design, art and fashion.
What makes her unique is that frequently, she blogs about it in her own life, and I love that about her. When I recently came across her son's big-boy room makeover, I was smitten. I love that it feels cozy and homey, and is furnished with pieces from all over, not just a standard nursery collection.

Tombstone Tuesday: Rev. James Fay, Glasnevin Cemetery
Just south of O'Connell's circle stands this monument over the grave of Reverend Father James Fay, founder and Guardian of the Orphanage of St. Catherine's Parish, Dublin. The statue depicts Fay as the all encompassing guardian of orphans, two of whom are featured along with him. In the 1879 book, A Guide to Glasnevin Cemetery, it is written of James Fay, "of him it may be truly said that his bones have a tomb of orphans' tears wept on them".
Fashioned by Westmeath born, Dublin raised, sculptor extraordinaire James Cahill, the statue was presented by the people of Dublin as an expression of their profound regret over the loss of Fay. Reverend James Fay was a man noted not only for his work with orphans, but also for his religious devotion and ardent love of his country Ireland. Fay died 30 January 1861 at the age of 41 years. The monument was erected in 1864.

Health Advocates Want Biz Consultants off EPA Asbestos CommitteeThe former and current presidents of a consulting firm recently bounced off a government job for conflicts of interest are just one of a number of industry consultants on the short list of candidates for a new Environmental Protection Agency advisory committee that will consider the best way to measure the health effects of asbestos. The 65-member list has drawn fire from environmental activists, who are questioning the legitimacy of many of the consultants' credentials. "Most of the industry nominees developed their asbestos publication record in the last five years, becoming 'instant experts' in the service of their corporate client," said Senior Natural Resource Defense Council scientist Jennifer Sass, who filed comments on the short list late last week.
Among the contested nominees is Elizabeth Anderson, former president of Sciences International (SI), and Herman Gibb, current president of SI. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences recently dismissed the firm from running its review of bisphenol-A after learning it had already tested the chemical's safety for industry. Another industry insider drawing protests is Bruce Case, who, while advising the EPA on the World Trade Center clean-up, failed to disclose he'd previously done consulting work for Mobil, Georgia Pacific, and Gypsum. The short list also includes long-time industry consultants Roger McClellan and Dennis J. Paustenbach.
The panel will review the methods the EPA used in determining the health impact of asbestos exposure that is contained in the agency's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). Those scientific judgments are used in setting air and soil cleanup standards and could be used to set workplace exposure limits. At issue is the controversial Berman-Comp method for measuring asbestos exposure, which separates asbestos particles into two categories, only one of which is considered carcinogenic. Public health advocates oppose the method since it increase allowable exposure limits. The public comment period ends May 24.
Some Medical Educators Skirt New Rules A recently released Senate Finance Committee investigation found that nearly one-fourth of physician education seminars do not follow the new rules designed to limit drug industry influence over continuing medical education. The non-profit Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) in 2004 adopted new guidelines to limit the drug industry's influence over the content of classes after Warner-Lambert (now part of Pfizer) paid $430 million to settle claims that it illegally promoted the off-label use of Neurontin. The company's education grants were a major part of the scheme.
The Senate investigators, after surveying 76 continuing medical education (CME) providers and 23 drug companies late last year, found 18 providers which violated ACCME rules. Some CME providers had multiple violations, including promotion of the sponsoring company's products but the exclusion of other firms' products; allowing company influence over where and how many presentations were scheduled using its grant; and illegally influencing the selection of faculty for the education activity. Pharmaceutical and medical device firms contributed about half of the $2.25 billion spent on CME in 2005. Physicians are required by most states to take CME classes to maintain their licenses.
Did Politics Delist Arizona Eagles?
Local U.S. Fish and Wildlife scientists were ordered by the agency's top regional official to invent data to support a political decision not to include the bald eagle on Arizona's endangered species list, the Arizona Republic reports. According to documents obtained by The Center for Biological Diversity, the government scientists were ordered to remove the eagles from the list even though the biological field data didn't support the decision. The Arizona-based environmental group opposed the inclusion of their state in the national delisting because they consider Arizona eagles a "distinct population segment" whose habitat was still at risk. The Center for Biologic Diversity has asked the U.S. district attorney to investigate
Safeguards Sought On $500 Million BP Grant
The non-profit Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights has launched a campaign to slap controls on British Petroleum's $500 million research grant to the University of California at Berkeley. The group fears the oil giant will influence the school's research agenda and interfere with its objectivity, the Los Angeles Times reports. The BP-Berkeley pact gave the oil firm exclusive rights to all scientific discoveries made with the grants. The consumer advocacy group wants the university to prohibit BP from conducting secret research at the school or using UC's name in marketing campaigns without the regents' approval. UC officials are opposed, calling the current arrangement optimal.
P.R. Ignores J&J Funded Vaccine Study
The University of Missouri-Columbia issued a press release last week touting a new study that found no link between autism and the vaccine preservative thimerosal. Whether or not the study is reliable, the press release didn't disclose that the study, which appeared the American Journal of Medical Genetics, was funded by Johnson and Johnson. J&J is a leading manufacturer of a vaccine used in pregnancy that before 2001 used mercury-containing thimerosal as a preservative.
Odds and Ends
Tom Allen (D- ME) introduced a plan last week to spend $3 billion to fund comparative medical research. Allen said the plan will provide medical research based on evidence, not advertisements. The proposal will also prohibit industry stakeholders from influencing the research . . . Shell came under fire at its annual meeting last week from Dutch environmentalists, reportedThe Guardian. They protested Shell's claims to be a leader in renewable energy when 99 percent of its plans for renewable power come from non-sustainable sources such as oil and gas

The joint United Nations Economic Commission for Europe – United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Workshop on "Climate Change Impacts on International Transport Networks" held under the auspices of the Working Party on Transport Trends and Economics (WP.5) in September 2010 raised awareness about the important challenges that climate change impacts and adaptation requirements present for international transport networks. This complex set of issues has so far received little attention.
The workshop highlighted that while transport is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions it is, at the same time, heavily affected by the impacts of climate change. This workshop demonstrated the urgent need to prepare appropriate policy actions, as well as the need to exchange information about best practices and concluded that there is considerable merit in establishing a new expert group to study the matter.
At its seventy-third session, in March 2011, the Inland Transport Committee noting the results of the joint UNECE-UNCTAD workshop, agreed to establish a Group of Experts on climate change impacts and adaptation for international transport networks and to adopt its terms of reference. The UNECE Executive Committee at its forty-first meeting, in May 2011, approved the establishment of such an expert group. The Group of Experts is expected to complete its work and submit a final report within two years (May 2013).

Last year we had so much fun in Wisconsin barbecuing and catching up with family, that we did it again this year. Last year, I was 7 months pregnant and it was fun this year to finally introduce everyone to Makai. He had so much fun playing and visiting with all his cousins and aunties and uncles that he missed his afternoon naps and stayed up right till his bed time at 8 p.m. Makai was especially loving Kiara, who is one month older than him; chilling out by Dustin; and playing with Tessa, Charlotte and Margo.
I had fun seeing everyone too and it was nice to be at my parent's house in the country, which is not really the country, but is the country compared to where we live!
Also, I had never seen this version of 312 before, even though Goose Island beer is made in Chicago and is everywhere here:

Abbie Cornish
Lochinvar, New South Wales, Australia
"The hardest part is getting your clothes off at first in front of the people who haven't seen you naked before. The first time you get nude in front of someone, it's hard, and then it's, 'Well, you've seen everything now. It's OK; we can shoot the rest of the day.'"
- Abbie Cornish
Long considered one of Hollywood's next great indie darlings thanks to her roles in films like Somersault, Candy, Stop-Loss, and Bright Star, Aussie actress Abbie Cornish's latest batch of films have her headed in an entirely different direction. As Bradley Cooper's love interest in the Limitless, which topped the box office the weekend of its release, Cornish proved that she has what it takes to share the screen with a real movie star. Whether or not she can become one will depend heavily on the success of Zack Snyder's effects-laden Sucker Punch, her first real foray into big-budget movie-making.
Abbie Cornish BiographyBy all accounts, Abbie Cornish is as grounded a celebrity as you're likely to meet. The second of five children, Cornish grew up on her father's 70-hectare farm, where she and her siblings would explore their surroundings with the childlike curiosity that often produces artists. When Cornish was 13, she began modeling and landed her first job on ABC's Children's Hospital after her agency sent her to an audition. Cornish was hooked. She left home at age 16 -- the same year her parents split -- and set to live the life of a struggling artist in Newcastle. There, she attended high school with the goal of becoming a veterinarian while taking acting gigs on the side on shows like Wildside and Outriders.
Abbie Cornish Becomes a Movie Star in AustraliaAbbie Cornish's first film role wasn't exactly a memorable one. In The Monkey's Mask, the young actress played a girl who was abducted in the film's first act and found dead later. But her second feature, the Australian indie Somersault, would change Cornish's life forever. After playing at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, Somersault, which also starred the then-unknown Sam Worthington, swept the Australian Film Institute Awards, winning 13 in total, including Best Actress for Cornish. Suddenly, the charismatic blonde was the most in-demand actress in her country, appearing in the films Everything Goes and Candy, alongside Heath Ledger, for which she earned her second Australian Film Institute Award nomination.
Abbie Cornish Takes Her Talents StatesideEvery year, a new set of young, foreign ingenues try to achieve crossover success in Hollywood, but only the cream of the crop are embraced by North American audiences. Cornish's first three attempts at mainstream success were either overshadowed by bigger stars or weakened by muddled scripts. In Ridley Scott's A Good Year, she played second fiddle to Russell Crowe. The same goes for her performance in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, a film dominated by the majestic Cate Blanchett. Kimberly Peirce's Iraq-War drama Stop-Loss could have been the breakthrough Cornish was looking for, but a weak script and an even weaker box-office performance nixed that hope. It wasn't until Abbie Cornish starred as Fanny Brawne in Jane Campion's acclaimed film Bright Star that North American audiences finally saw Cornish's true movie-star potential.
Abbie Cornish On The Cusp of Movie StardomWith Nicole Kidman approaching the twilight of her career, Hollywood is in need of another Australian beauty to assume her crown. They may have to look no further than Abbie Cornish, whose role as Bradley Cooper's love interest in the film Limitless is proof that she has what it takes to be a movie star. Her next film will see her team up again with 300 director Zack Snyder (Cornish provided her voice in his animated film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole) in Sucker Punch, one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year (and a fan boy's wet dream). After Cornish is done kicking ass alongside Emily Browning and Vanessa Hudgens, she'll take direction from the Material Girl herself in the film W.E.
From there, Abbie Cornish's career is, well, limitless.

Ducks Host Pac-12 Leaders No. 4 Stanford and No. 6 Cal
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 01/28/2013

Following UO's home games with the Bay Area schools, the Ducks returns to the road to play Utah (Feb. 8) and Colorado (Feb. 10). Tip-time for the Ducks-Utes game is scheduled for 6 pm (PT), while the UO-CU game is slated for 12:30 pm.
The Ducks earned a split of the Washington schools in last week's road trip, defeating Washington State 70-68 last Friday prior to a 66-53 loss to Washington on Sunday. The win over the Cougars was UO's first Pac-12 win of the season.
Ariel Thomas scored 20 points and registered career-highs with 11 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Ducks to that road win over WSU. Thomas scored Oregon's last 10 points over the final two minutes of the game. She buried a pair of 3-pointers, made a driving runner in the lane and made some key free throws to help seal the victory.
Thomas was one of three Ducks to score in double-figures. Amanda Delgado scored a career-high 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field, making all of those attempts from behind the 3-point arc. Jillian Alleyne registered her seventh double-double of the season with 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.
In Sunday's loss at Washington, Oregon struggled from the field making just 21-of-67 overall field goal attempts (31.3 percent), and 6-of-31 from behind the 3-point arc (19.4 percent).
Thomas led UO with a team-high 14 points to go with five rebounds and five assists. Alleyne contributed seven points and a game-best 14 rebounds. Delgado chipped in with 12 points off the bench. Liz Brenner narrowly missed her second double-double of the season finishing with nine points and 11 rebounds.
Jillian Alleyne's rebounding average (12.9 rpg) ranks atop the Pac-12 Conference and has since the beginning of the season. If her numbers hold up, Alleyne would become the first Oregon player in school history to lead the conference in rebounding.
In fact, the only other freshman player to lead the conference on the glass was Arizona's Shawntinice Polk who pulled down 10.8 rebounds per game in the 2002-03 campaign.
Alleyne has recorded four of the top six single-game rebounding efforts of any Pac-12 player this season (27, 23, 19, 18). She totaled 19 rebounds in UO's win over Samford, while grabbing 18 rebounds in Oregon's road loss to Illinois. Alleyne came off the bench to grab a game-high 23 boards, eight of the offensive variety, against No. 13 Oklahoma. She grabbed a school and Pac-12 record 27 boards against Portland State on Nov. 15.
Oregon is second in the Pac-12 Conference for 3-pointers made, while ranking third in both blocked shots and free throws.
UO is averaging 6.2 made 3-pointers per outing and has hit 124 on the year. Amanda Delgado ranks second in the league with 41 total 3-pointers and 2.7 per game. Delgado is listed at 34th nationally in the most recent ranking summary produced by the NCAA this week.
The Ducks have made 70 percent of their free throw attempts (243-of-347). Devyn Galland has the best individual percentage of any Pac-12 player at 86.7 percent (52-of-60). UO players would rank No. 1 and No. 2 in that category, but Danielle Love (92.7 percent, 38-of-41) does not have enough attempts to qualify for the league rankings. In the national rankings, Galland's average is 23rd while Love would rank tied for eighth if she met the minimum requirements.
UO (91 total blocks, 4.6 bpg) is led on the defensive end by Jillian Alleyne (30, 1.5 bpg) and Megan Carpenter (28, 1.4 bpg) who rank fifth and seventh respectively.
Five Oregon players have recorded a double-double this season. Freshman forward Jillian Alleyne has tallied a team-high seven double-doubles over the course of the year, a number that ranks tied for fourth amongst Pac-12 players.
Juniors Megan Carpenter and Ariel Thomas and sophomores Liz Brenner and Jordan Loera have also registered a double-double in 2012-13.
On seven different occasions this season, a UO player has been either one point or one rebound shy of reaching a double-double.
Jillian Alleyne, a freshman from Fontana, Calif., ranks third in the nation for rebounding average (12.9 rpg). Artemis Spanou of Robert Morris (14.0 rpg) leads all players nationally, while High Point center Cheyenne Parker (13.0 rpg) is just ahead of Alleyne by the slimmest of margins.
Alleyne is one of 37 NCAA Div. I women's basketball players to average a double-double (14.0 ppg, 12.9 rpg).
The NCAA record for season rebounding average by a freshman is 15.5 rpg (1985 – Valorie Whiteside, Appalachian State).
At one point during the non-conference schedule, UO was down to a seven-player rotation and played without as many as five players who had starting experience. Many of those missing players have made their way back to the lineup.
Ariel Thomas returned to action against Nevada on Dec. 9 and has made an immediate impact. She's averaging 10.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in those 14 games, a starter in the last 12 contests.
Four-sport standout Liz Brenner (VB/WBB/SB/T&F), a sophomore who played in 21 games and started eight contests for UO a year ago, is now full-time with the basketball team. Brenner has played in nine games - a starter in the last seven - and is averaging 8.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per outing.
Amanda Delgado missed six non-league games due to an injury. The sophomore from Las Vegas, Nev., returned to the lineup Dec. 31 against Connecticut. Delgado is the team's third-leading scorer on the year at 10.7 points per game. She was having a break-out season prior to her injury, averaging 12.7 points per outing through the first six games, a starter in five of those contests. Delgado earned all-tourney team recognition after averaging 18.5 points per game at the Rainbow Wahine Showdown in Honolulu.
Janitah Iamaleava has seen limited time in seven of UO's last nine games since making her debut against UConn on Dec. 31. Iamaleava posted career-highs with six points and four rebounds at Washington this past Sunday.
Laura Stanulis and Lexi Petersen, who entered the year as the team's starter and back-up at the point guard position, have been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. Stanulis also led the team in assists (33) at the time of her injury. Petersen, who played in just one game, averaged a team-leading 17.5 points per game on UO's preseason foreign tour to Spain.
Jillian Alleyne broke the school and Pac-12 rebounding record in UO's double-overtime home loss to Portland State. In the same game, just her second as a collegiate player, Alleyne also matched the school record for points with 38.
The 27 rebounds bettered the previous Pac-12 mark set nearly 20 years ago by UCLA's Natalie Williams in 1994. Alleyne's rebounding total is the 24th-highest single-game total in NCAA history (since 1982). Alleyne's mark also took down UO's 34-year-old mark that had stood since 1978.
Alleyne scored 30 of her 38 points, and grabbed 21 of her 27 rebounds in the second half and the two overtime periods. In fact, Alleyne amassed a double-double in the two overtime periods alone (10 points and 10 rebounds). For that game, Alleyne went 13-of-24 on field goals and made 12-of-19 free throw attempts. She also contributed team-bests with four steals and three blocks.
Head coach Paul Westhead announced that Chrishae Rowe and Drea Toler have signed National Letters of Intent to play basketball at the University of Oregon. Rowe and Toler will join the Ducks for competition beginning in the 2013-14 season.
"Chrishae and Drea are players who will complement the personnel we already have in place," Westhead said. "These two are outstanding young ladies who will not only fit in with our team, but will be good fits in the community."
Rowe, from Riverside, Calif., ranks among the top 20 players nationally at the shooting guard position. In addition, she is ranked as one of the top 10 seniors in California. The four-star prospect ranks No. 67 in ESPN's HoopGurlz.com top 100 national recruiting rankings. "Having the opportunity to play in one of the best conferences in the country, while getting a degree in one of the top sports business programs, was an opportunity I couldn't pass up," Rowe said about deciding on UO.
The 5-foot-8 guard produced big numbers in her junior season averaging 19.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. She led Santiago High School to the sectional semifinals a year ago. Rowe was named regional player of the year and made the Los Angeles Times all-star team for her play in 2011-12.
"Another big thing for me was how comfortable I was on my actual visit," Rowe added. "Everyone from the team to the managers and coaching staff are so supportive and close to each other. Coming from a big family, that's something that's very important to me."
Toler, from Gardena, Calif., is playing her senior season at Serra High School. As a junior, she averaged 9.4 points, 4.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game in leading SHS to a 30-4 record. Serra advanced to the state semifinals in 2011-12.
"I liked how close everyone was on my visit," Toler said on choosing Oregon. "I saw a family bond. I felt a part of the Duck family. And from spending time with the coaching staff and players, I know they're going to take care of me."
The point guard who is known for her speed, also referenced Westhead's style as reason for signing with Oregon. "I like to play fast and Oregon's style is to play fast. We both want to get that ball up the court as fast as possible to get that easy bucket."
Toler played for the Cal Sparks AAU basketball club, a program that current UO freshman Janitah Iamaleava played for as well.
Live audio, video for all non-televised home games or Pac-12 road games will be streamed online with links available at goducks.com (pac-12.com/live/goducks.aspx). All web streaming will be in conjunction with Pac-12 live stream.
In addition, UO basketball representatives will make periodic appearances throughout the season on Ducks Insider, a daily sports webcast (hosted by Jerry Allen and Jill Savage, 1-3 pm) that features interviews with coaches and student-athletes.
The Ducks are on Facebook. Follow @OregonWBB on Twitter for behind the scenes perspective by the staff and players.
The Ducks went 4-0 on their 2012 Spanish Foreign Tour which took place Aug. 24-Sept. 2. The Ducks played games against professional clubs from Madrid, Girona and Barcelona.
Oregon defeated a professional team from Madrid, Estudiantes, in back-to-back games to open the trip (Game 1 - W, 94-67; Game 2 - W, 84-61).
From there, the Ducks played a pair of games as part of the Torneig de Basquet Unnim tournament played at the Pavello Esportiu Municipal located approximately an hour north of Barcelona. UO recorded a 103-62 win over Uni Girona and a 70-52 win over Santa Rosa de Lima.
Sophomore Lexi Petersen averaged a team-high 17.5 points per contest on the trip, one of four Ducks to average double-figures in scoring. Freshman Jillian Alleyne (14.5 ppg, 10.8 rpg) and sophomore Megan Carpenter (13.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg) each averaged double-doubles for UO. Sophomore Amanda Delgado averaged 15.0 points per outing.

I finally got around to shooting some pics of my newest fabric line, soon to be released, called "Eden".
This collection is full of spring pastels and semi-brights that evoke feelings of Easter eggs and sweet little spring chicks!
I am using it to create some bedding patterns, and a new skirt pattern (that is yet to be completed.)
But as soon as I make a blouse for Stella, (so she's not topless) I'll show you a picture of her wearing the new skirt, with her "NEW HAIR"! She is soooo excited...although she doesn't always show her enthusiasm outwardly:)
She looks so different now... she's like a brand new person, or should I say 'pseudo -person'. It's amazing what a new "do" and a new color will do for a girl...isn't it? Not that I didn't love her hot pink spikey look...she was sort of "edgey", wasn't she? \(can you tell I am having way too much fun with the whole Stella thing?)
Anyhow, the fabric will be available in the spring...which will be just around the corner!
Sort of.
Here's a little sneak peek of one of the pillows and a bit of the bedding in two new patterns for the home, coming on the scene soon.
See you later... I have to sew some stuff.

"they could lose 2/4, maybe even 3/4. for sure need home field to be a serious threat and even then...."
When it comes to routinely nailing their LARGEST plays, not many do it better than AAA Sports! Indeed, AAA enters the new week riding an ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR +$48,000 BIG TICKET 10* RUN across ALL sports! Whatever you do, DO NOT miss out on their 10* MLB "GAME OF THE WEEK!" BE THERE!
1* Free Play OVER Rangers/Yankees.
The visitors hand the ball to ace Cole Hamels (8-1, 2.79 ERA) who comes in off a dominant outing vs. the Reds on Wednesday, allowing just one run off five scattered hits over six innings in the 6-4 win. Hamels' peripherals are ugly though and it's now just a matter of time before the baseball gods come back to strike him down as his 1.40 HR/9 and 3.44 BB/9 are both career worsts, while his 4.57 FIP is horrible. Hamels will be opposed by Yanks veteran CC Sabathia, who like his counterpart today, has opened the season strong, but who has also shown some "cracks in the armor." Sabathia (5-4, 2.20 ERA) is approaching 36 years old and while he's been superb to this point, like Hamels there's plenty of tell tale signs that the southpaw is about to take a step back, as his FIP is a full point higher than his ERA and his xFIP (which is considred by most experts as being the best predictor for future ERA) is more than two runs higher. Also note that he's a rather pedestrian 1-2 with a 3.58 ERA in front of the home town crowd this year. We're going to recommend a play on the OVER in this one.

Being crazy-busy is one kind of challenge. But what about the opposite problem, when all that action starts to slow down? How do you handle the challenge of less? That's the question Kyra Sedgwick is pondering as she sips coffee on Manhattan's Upper West Side on a spring afternoon, with a riot of buds and blossoms outside providing an appropriate metaphor for growth.
The 46-year-old actress no longer has a steady job: In December she wrapped up her seven-year, Emmy-winning run on TNT's The Closer as Brenda Leigh Johnson, the Los Angeles deputy police chief whose rapid-fire Southern tones pop suspects open like so many soda cans. Once a hands-on mom (to Travis, 23, and Sosie, 20), she's now an empty nester. And after living solo in L.A. for half the year while shooting the series, she's back home in New York City full time, reconnecting with her husband of 23 years, the actor-musician-director Kevin Bacon.
She arrives at her neighborhood café looking urban-cool in sunglasses and a belted trench coat,then disarms me with a hug. "I don't know why, you just look like someone to hug," she says. She orders a decaf mocha latte with soy milk, then asks the barista, "But can you make it mostly chocolate?" And when she opens her elegant hand, her next stop is inked in two words on her palm: duane reade. "I have to write everything down," she says, rolling her eyes. Her voice is hoarse from a cold, and she frequently pulls down the sleeves of her gray Burberry sweater as if chilled. But her conversation is warm—thoughtful, energetic and peppered with the wordreally. It's clear that Sedgwick doesn't simply think or feel something; she really thinks it and really, really feels it.
"Kyra has a wonderful ability to put her attention on you," says her Closer costar Mary McDonnell (see sidebar, opposite). "When she's focused on you, you feel a lot of thinking going on. Her attention is very alive and personal."
According to the show's creator, James Duff, Sedgwick brings that same intensity to her work. "She's like an amazing athlete," he says. "She has a formidable intellect and also an intense sexual charisma that gave me great variety in writing her interrogation scenes—she could be a suspect's girlfriend, ex, mother, sister. Right to the end, she never quit trying to do it better than she had the week before. Other shows use special effects, but ours always came down to her in a small room. Kyra was our special effect."
Which makes you wonder just where she'll direct that intensity now. "This is a change, no question," Sedgwick says about her choice to make The Closer's seventh season, which will resume July 9, its last. "I brought it on myself, and once I'd decided it, there was no moment where I thought, I wish I hadn't. I'm not sitting around with nothing to do. I'm a lady who lunches, goes to the theater, the movies. I go out to dinner, I cook at home, I hang out with my family and friends. I am going to hit a wall, though, of needing to express myself creatively—sooner rather than later probably. But I'm trying to trust in this fallow period. I'm facing the unknowing: the excitement of it as well as the insecurity of it and concern about it."
She's usually good with change. (Bacon even wrote a song about it, "Woman's Got a Mind to Change.") And she's capable of holding opposing thoughts in her head at the same time. "I'm so not a planner," she says. "I didn't plan getting married. If somebody had told me when I was 21 that I was going to be married with a kid at 23, I would have told them they were insane. Thinking too far ahead is scary to me. I'd rather say, 'One minute at a time.' "
Sedgwick came back to New York ready to spend quality time with Bacon. They've had good luck with scheduling over the years: They don't often work at the same time, they try not to spend more than three weeks apart, and for the past few years, Bacon has been able to fit his schedule around hers. But two weeks after Sedgwick got home from finishing up on The Closer, he landed The Following, a TV series of his own created by writer-producer Kevin Williamson (Dawson's Creek) for Fox. "There's part of me that thinks, Are we going to be in our seventies before we all of a sudden look at each other and go, 'Oh, hi' ?" Sedgwick says. "Obviously that's part of what makes it exciting. You don't get bored; it has a certain spark to it. And, of course, I'm ready for him to work. He loves to work. We both do better when we're working.
"But sometimes it feels so different than what other people have," she admits. "Every now and then I'll be like, 'I'm having a hard day,' and I realize, I'm lonely! I miss my husband, who's working far away. My other half is not here to help carry me through. I'm ready to be home with him for the third or fourth night in a row. Really being boring for a change, sitting around doing nothing."
The couple met while making the 1988 TV movie Lemon Sky. Already famous, he was immediately smitten. She thought he was a tad full of himself. Every day for the first week, Bacon asked the cast out to dinner, hoping she'd come along. Every night she declined, leaving him stuck with a crowd as well as the tab. Then one day on the set, he suggested she have a massage at his hotel—and he just happened to be there when she finished.
"He's there dabbing his forehead, like, 'Whoo, just got off the StairMaster—want to go get a bite?' " Sedgwick says, laughing. "He took me to this expensive restaurant. He remembers so vividly that I opened the menu and said, 'Jeez, these prices are outrageous!' He thought that was fantastic." She woke up the morning after their second date with a deep sense of home in her chest. She'd never felt that before, not even as a child. "I got to work that day and saw him and thought, Oh my God, it's you! I've always felt that way about him."
She rattles off some of her spouse's charming attributes: He's always cheery in the morning, always. He invents nicknames for her; his latest, Princess Kikonoki, makes her collapse in giggles. He's the more practical one; she's more emotional. If she's telling him her troubles and he responds, "Here's the thing," she always sits up and thinks, OK, I'm going to hear something that's going to be helpful! What's the thing? Though the couple have had their struggles, "there was never a moment of, I might leave, or he might leave," Sedgwick says. Then her eyes go soft. "Remember in The Philadelphia Story, when Hepburn says about her honeymoon boat, 'My, she was yar . . . fast, bright, everything a boat should be.' " I nod. "My, he's yar," she purrs.
As for other men, she swears she's never been tempted—"to the point where I wonder if there's something wrong with me in that area," she says. "I give off a vibe of 'I'm so not available.' Sometimes I even think that stands in my way." With studio heads or executives, she suggests, "sometimes I feel I should flirt more."
Kyra started acting at 16, on the soap opera Another World, and moved to L.A. at 19. Her manager, who then represented many of the Brat Packers, urged her to go to parties and get herself noticed, but that wasn't her style. "Looking back, I wish I'd done that scene a little," Sedgwick says. "I was single for such a short time. Being a married person with kids in your twenties, when you're supposed to be super sexy—it's a man's business. Just them thinking I was a possibility probably would have been a good thing for me. Even now. But I'm not good at it."
She prefers to spend time with family. Sedgwick and her five siblings grew up in New York City. Her parents—Henry Dwight Sedgwick V, a venture capitalist, and Patricia Heller, a family therapist—divorced when she was six. She would be 12 before her mother married again, this time to art dealer Ben Heller. Sedgwick, her mother and all but one sibling still live in or near the city and see one another often. "We were each other's port in a storm, cling, cling," Sedgwick says. "I've had to learn to separate. But not too far."
It was clear to all on The Closerthat Sedgwick was, as creator Duff calls her, "a family person." Costar McDonnell, whose kids are close to Sedgwick's in age, particularly appreciated that focus. "My favorite memories of working with her are the really beautiful talks we had about family," she says, "and about our shared experience of being mother-slash-actresses. One or the other of us would have just spoken to our kids, and these conversations would rise up. She makes it easy to feel relaxed and intimate. I really treasured that."
If not relaxed at this new stage of life, Sedgwick is certainly rolling with the changes. "I can tell you, it's really nice not to look in the mirror all day in the makeup trailer," she says. "But I'm also at the phase of my life where I can go, Oh look, there's wrinkles and jowls." I tell her she does not have jowls. "The lighting in here is good—that's why I picked this place," she responds, grinning. "Really, I'm changing. Veins, thin skin. I just say, 'Oh, my hands are older,' and go [mimes kissing them sweetly]. I know so much more now. I really struggled with eating and exercise for a long time. I did a lot of overexercising, not eating enough. Not nurturing myself.Striving for some unattainable thing. Now I look back at pictures and go, 'I was so pretty!' I didn't need to do all that."
She believes in skin care—frequent facials, intensive moisturizing. "Kevin says, 'You're in the bathroom for 20 minutes,' and he's right," she says. "But I really want to age naturally and to be able to play characters who are my age." She wants to be happy about turning 50. "Like, deeply happy, not just 'I'm fine about it,' " she says. "I'm always grateful, because I know that life is precious. But I want to be even more grateful. I want to be wallowing in gratitude."
I ask if Sedgwick has a role model. "My mom," she immediately answers. "She's willing to hear the hard stuff, and she's always growing. She's changed careers four or five times since her twenties, most recently in her fifties. Now she's 80 and still running for the bus. She has this little shapely figure; she's totally with it. I have that to look forward to. And I feel like I'll get lighter. I was such a serious 20-year-old. I've really lightened up a great deal." What helps: meditating (which she tries to do a few times a week), spending time in nature, hiking and staying fit.
She worries for her daughter, however, and for all young women. It was hard enough when she was young, she says, comparing herself unfavorably to the models in Seventeen. "But I just saw an ad with prepubescent girls, 10 years old, and they were so thin and so inappropriately sexualized," Sedgwick says. "Now it's 10-year-olds who are supposed to be emaciated? How can you have a realistic image of what you're supposed to look like with today's media?" To counter that, she tells her daughter "all the time" that she's beautiful and talks to her about how images are manipulated. Sosie occasionally appeared as her niece on The Closer, but Sedgwick doesn't think acting is her calling. "But who knows?" she says, then adds that even without the pressures of being onscreen, "she's surrounded by girls with eating disorders. I don't know how the bar got lowered [for women]. I really don't."
When it comes to her own changes, there's one that Sedgwick can't seem to embrace: living apart from her children. "I'm still struggling with how to let go," she begins to say—and suddenly her eyes fill with tears, and her voice chokes. "It doesn't feel right on some level. It just feels wrong! My parenting motto has always been that they'll teach me, and I'm trying to remember that. Because I can't [accept it]. We don't have rituals for this sort of thing, and we should—I need to honor that it's hard and confusing." She laughs ruefully, wiping her eyes. "This is the Barbara Walters section of the interview."
She doesn't regret the time she spent shooting the series, which incorporated much of her children's adolescence. "It was hard for the family and great for the family. Great gifts came from it," she says. "I know I missed stuff, and I know some stuff will come up around that as the kids get older. But I also know that I can be really controlling and intense. Kevin is like this"—she moves her hand in a level line—"and I'm like this"—she swings her hand up and down. "Ultimately it's not a bad thing that I was not all up in their business every minute, micromanaging, which I really have to try not to do."
Though she might have felt like moping about her soon-to-be empty nest, Sedgwick, Bacon and the kids all decided to celebrate it by getting the same tattoo, their initials linked in a pattern that Bacon designed. (Sedgwick already had tattoos on her lower back and one ankle.) "It just means we still like each other," she says, laughing.
Of course, Sedgwick's fallow period doesn't look like most people's. In August she'll star opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Possession, a psychological horror movie directed by Denmark's Ole Bornedal that's based on true events. When she first got the call, she hesitated, thinking, A horror movie, really? "But Ole directed us away from clichés and encouraged us to go deep," she says. "It addresses the anxiety of not being able to protect the people you love, of wanting to absorb their pain and not being able to. And also broken families, divorced families, the impact that has on children. I know my mother struggled with that."
Sedgwick just did two days' work on Kill Your Darlings, a murder mystery involving the Beat poets (including Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg and Ben Foster as William Burroughs). She plays the mother of Lucien Carr (In Treatment's Dane DeHaan). "It's great to be around the young'uns," she says. "Daniel Radcliffe is too adorable. If I can do a couple of these, I'll stay sane while waiting for the next great thing."
She'd like to produce, find herself a comedy or an original play, take an improv class. She's also a vocal advocate for environmental sustainability and recently moderated a panel on plastic pollution at the U.N. "I can get inundated with a lot of really depressing information," she says. "But my goal is to be part of the solution. So I can get really depressed, or I can get into action.
"It's funny," she continues. "The advice I'd give my younger self is advice that I'm not taking today, which is, Stop worrying so much. I can get obsessive and obsessively worry about things. But things work out. They do. The older I get, the more I realize that I don't know everything. I'm less -judgmental—more accepting of other people and less frustrated by 'Why are they doing it that way? They should do it my way!' " She laughs. "I mean, I know it's hard to believe, but I could be wrong."
She's ready to go now, to whatever the next thing might be. "I really trust that there's a plan," she says. "I don't know what it is, but I'm on the road, and I'm OK with it. I trust that it's going to be OK."

~~Today I'm, yet again, trying something new. My fiance, who is a big chili head, ordered some chili candies that are made with extremely hot peppers. Now, I can take a pretty good dose of hotness in my foods, but even these were a little out of my league. I asked he he wouldn't mind doing a guest review of these candies for me, and he happily obliged! Enjoy!~~~
I had first seen these Vertigo Chili Candies reviewed by Ted Barrus on his YouTube channel. I am genuinely a fan of his videos and opinions and credit him with adding many spicy products to our pantry. These particular candies are made in Brooklyn, NY and I ordered them directly from their website. All of their products proudly feature their namesake, the Bhut Jolokia. You may have heard of this formidable pepper under its more common name 'The Ghost Chili'.
I decided to start slowly and try their Watermelon variety first. Both packets contain about an ounce of candy and I'd estimate that to be about fifteen pieces. After opening the package I gave it a good sniff expecting to encounter chili right away, but was surprised to smell only watermelon. It wasn't as punchy as, say, a bag of watermelon Jolly Ranchers but its in the same ball pack. The candies themselves were rectangles that seemed to vary in size from about a 1/4 inch wide to some nearly 3/4 and definitely hints at their 'small batch, handmade' formula. They are mostly black with a bright green stripe down the middle.
As I popped one in my mouth I wondered about how long it would take for the chili to 'hit'. To my surprise the first thing that I tasted was the watermelon. They really do have a nice watermelon flavor. After about ten seconds though I started to feel the burn of the Jolokia. For those readers who have never tried a ghost chili I find them to have a very 'sharp' heat, like lots of tiny needles. While that's just been my experience with them I've had a few friends agree. The candy seemed to hit its peak at about the 45 second to one minute mark and from then on it was a steady, intense heat that lasted as long as you were willing to hold the piece in your mouth. If you enjoy spicy food at all, these would probably be a good treat if you wanted a pick-me-up during the day. Warning here: don't try to crunch these babies, the heat will bite you back for it as you've just exposed lots more surface area.
Now for our main event, our title fight….the Vertigo. I was a bit afraid to these to tell you the truth as I'd seen what they could do to some chili veterans on YouTube. After reading the ingredients its easy to see why their reputation precedes them. They contain five separate chilies and out of them the ghost chili is the MILDEST. Compared to the watermelon variety, this package smells like pure pepper when you tear the seam open. The size of the bits remain the same except the welcoming green stripe is replaced with a bright orange-red. These guys….mean BUSINESS.
So it was with great caution that I dropped one into my mouth. I'd venture to say that you get about 5-10 seconds of 'Oh well that's not SO bad' before the heat cranks up, and let me tell you, these go 0-60 faster than an Enzo Ferrari. I was honestly staggered at the heat level that a half inch piece of hard candy could deliver. These are violently hot! Beads of sweat formed on my forehead, my knees became a bit wobbly, and I had to sit down and concentrate on the task at hand. This is not a candy….this is a CHALLENGE! The heat was unrelenting; as long as I dared to hold on to that little chunk it brought more and more fire to the party. Even after they completely dissolve (which seems an eternity!) you're still going to feel them for good while longer. In my case it took about 30 minutes for the burn to wear off, and even then I was acutely aware of what had happened.
Overall I'd give both of these candies high praises! They both showcase the power of these peppers very well and produce mounds of heat with no artificial additives. I'm a big fan of natural heat that boy do these deliver! I'd consider the watermelon variety a solid everyday snack for the chili enthusiast. However, save the Vertigo's for that special occasion that you want to push your boundaries. And trust me, that moment WILL come, where you'll look over at the black package, and dare yourself to do it again.
