Pittsburgh Steelers: A-
The Steelers might be labeled lucky because All-American guard David DeCastro (above) fell to them at No. 24. More accurately, the Steelers were simply prepared when opportunity presented itself. With Ben Roethlisberger's incredible combination of size and pocket awareness, he's consistently able to keep his eyes downfield by stepping up into the pocket, making the three interior linemen more valuable in the Steelers' scheme and offensive tackles less so, which is why the Steelers didn't have to reach and were able to secure Ohio State's Mike Adams when he, too, slipped to them. Just as Pittsburgh reloaded its offensive line, they found fortification on the defensive front with wide-bodied nose guard Alameda Ta'amu in the third round to serve as an eventual replacement for Casey Hampton. The addition of speedy back Chris Rainey served as the icing on the cake, as the Steelers continue their tradition of understated excellence on draft day.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) Mason Plumlee, a 6-foot-10 center who helped break VCU's pressure, had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead No. 5 Duke to a 67-58 victory over the Rams on Friday night In the semifinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Plumlee, who had 20 points and 17 rebounds in the opening-round win over Minnesota, brought the ball across midcourt several times in each half to help the Blue Devils withstand the pressure defense VCU calls ``havoc.''
Both teams played good defense and made it tough to score. Both teams combined four field goals over the final 8 minutes and half of those came in the final 17 seconds.
The Blue Devils (5-0) will meet the winner of the game between No. 2 Louisville and No. 13 Missouri in the championship game on Saturday night.

Photos: Who is your fashion icon?
It's high season for celebrity fashion watching. "Who are you wearing?" rang out (endlessly) from the red carpet at the recent Golden Globe Awards, and there's more to come in February with the Oscars. This focus on which TV and film stars are wearing what made me wonder about the trickle-down effect of all this hoopla on us little people. So I hit the street to ask regular men and women about the style icons they keep in mind when they go shopping. --Ellen Warren, Tribune Newspapers

Those who thought breaking the curse on Once Upon a Time would restore happiness for our favorite fairy-tale characters will be in for a rude awakening when the magical ABC series returns Sunday (8/7c on ABC).
Lightning Round: Once Upon a Time bosses answer your burning questions!
The curse being broken and magic coming to Storybrooke is, in fact, not a good thing — despite the smile on Regina's (Lana Parrilla) face. "The breaking of the curse is the beginning of the final battle," Jennifer Morrison warns TVGuide.com. Along the way, though, there will be some heartwarming, if not at times awkwardly hilarious reunions between the residents of Storybrooke, especially when it comes to the Charming family. But they'll quickly realize that the battle that once raged in fairy-tale land will continue in the real world.
To find out what the battle will entail, we turned to Morrison and executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis for an in-depth look at the second season of Once Upon a Time. Fair(y-tale) warning: Spoilers ahead!
What can you tell us about the Charming family reunion?
Adam Horowitz: That is a very unique situation to find oneself in, and the circumstances of that reunion and what that means for all of them is the subject matter of the first episode and something we explore as the season begins. We think it's a really interesting way to approach a family dynamic, to see a family reunited against the backdrop of this curse-breaking and the fact that they are, in age, almost contemporaries; but in terms of the experiences they've had, Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) were parents for about five minutes before they sent their kid away. Emma spent 28 years without her parents and now suddenly has them.
Will Once Upon a Time travel to the Land of Oz?
Will there be some animosity there because they gave her up?
Horowitz: For us, it wouldn't be real if those thoughts weren't going through her head.
Jennifer Morrison: She spent her whole life looking for them. It's a very complicated thing for someone to have to accept, like, I really was given up. I really wasn't enough for them to keep around. Yet, she's gotten to know these people. She thinks they're good people, but they're good people that, in her mind, made a terrible decision. There's a part of her that is over-the-moon ecstatic to have found her parents alive and well, and there is a part of her that is still 5 years old trying to figure out how someone could give her up. She's going to be constantly battling those two sides of herself when she's dealing with these conversations with them.
Rumors have it that Emma and Snow might be in some far-off land this season. Is there anything you can say to that?
Edward Kitsis: All we can say about their relationship is that, as we said before, it's what we think is a unique mother-daughter relationship. The obstacles and forces of antagonism that they face are such that test this relationship and bring it to a new place.
Horowitz: We love that there's speculation, and we love that people are curious about what happens to them. What we would ask is patience and watching that first episode because a lot of these questions that you're asking are answered right off the bat. We're very excited about where those two characters find themselves and what they're going to be facing, but we can't be any more specific with that.
What about the reunion between father and daughter?
Kitsis: In the finale of Season 1, we showed what we thought was a really cool parallel between the two of them, which was dad placing the egg within the dragon and daughter retrieving it while using her father's sword. We think there is a lot of Charming in Emma, and he will see a lot of himself in her. There's something potentially cool about that while also challenging about being a dad to a woman your own age.
Horowitz: I think that's one of the interesting things. For the last year, Emma looked at David like an idiot for the way he treated her best friend who she looked at as this innocent schoolteacher who needed a big sister to help her. Well, now they're her parents, and they remembered who they were. Prince Charming and Snow White need no guidance. In fact, they want to be a parent. So what happens when roles are reversed but memories are intact?
Kitsis: Usually, the arc of a child-parent relationship is your parents are put on this high pedestal as these infallible beings, and as you grow up and you mature, you realize we're all human, and we all have our failings. It's reversed for Emma. She met her parents as fallible human beings with all those human qualities, and now is being forced to look at them as mythic characters on a pedestal, and how does she reconcile that? How do they reconcile that their daughter looks at her in this complicated way?
Once Upon a Time: Will Regina still have magic in Storybrooke?
Regina is in some serious trouble! What can you tell us about her going up against the town now that they're all aware?
Horowitz: The thing is that when you place a big bet like casting a curse that rips away everyone's happiness, and it doesn't work out, you have to be prepared for the consequences. On the plus side, magic is back, and we saw her smile. On the minus side, everybody hates her.
How will the Charming family deal with confronting Regina?
Morrison: The Charming family really wants to try to take the high road with the situation. Obviously, they want her to pay for her actions and they want her to be held responsible, but not in a way that would stoop to her level. Whereas there's another mob in town that is just rash and angry and they want her to pay for what she's done.
In addition to that, which complicates things even more, is Rumpelstiltskin/Gold (Robert Carlyle) involved in all this? He is the one who's brought magic now. He's the one who seems to have been pulling the strings behind all this. Then there's the question of how involved was he with Regina and how responsible is she compared to him? It definitely raises a lot of unanswered questions very quickly.
How does them trying to confront Regina in a reasonable way change once magic returns?
Morrison: It's going to take some time. I mean, they really do establish over again that magic in reality isn't like magic in fairy-tale land. So, everyone's at ground zero in terms of trying to figure out what works. I mean, there is a point at which now that she knows magic has come, she does something that would have been a spell that would have worked immediately in fairy-tale land that doesn't work at all in reality.
How will Regina's battle be different now that magic is back?
Horowitz: Regina at this point is almost a little more broken, if you will, in the sense that her curse failed, and she lost Henry (Jared Gilmore).
Kitsis: She chose saving Henry's life over preserving the curse. As Gold said, if Henry dies and Emma leaves town, everything stays normal.
Horowitz: By doing that, we feel it probably filled the void in her heart. She's at a place now where everybody hates her. She's lost everything, and yet, when she said to Henry in the finale, "No matter what anyone says about me, I love you," that is true. I think she wants to be with her child. There is a world where, perhaps, this is a second chance for her to redeem herself. Maybe before she was the Evil Queen, she was in love with a stable boy and wore flowers in her hair. Maybe there's a chance of redemption for her.
Regina's shocking origin story, Storybrooke's future and more Once Upon a Time scoop
Do you think she could ever actually have a real relationship with Henry?
Kitsis: I think that's an incredibly interesting question, and the question of whether or not she could have a real relationship with Henry is something that we intend to explore this year.
Emma's journey last season was from non-believer to savior of Storybrooke. What does that role mean now that the curse is broken?
Kitsis: She was the savior, and she broke the curse, but clearly there's more to that role than what we saw last season, and that's something the audience needs to discover as Emma does as well. It's like in last season, where she's told she's the savior in the pilot, but she doesn't really believe it, and she had to go on a journey to get to that belief. This season, while she knows she's the savior, and now she believes, what she has to do becomes clear very early on in terms of what she must accomplish on a practical level.
Morrison: It's interesting because what everyone realizes very quickly is that it was never about just breaking the curse. It was always about the final battle beginning. We now are launched into a whole other realm of problems and conflict that were brewing under the surface, but were never going to be able to be handled until the curse was broken. We spent the whole season thinking that that was the problem. Really, breaking the curse was the beginning of the next problem.
We've heard of the introductions of Mulan (Jamie Chung), Sleeping Beauty (Sarah Bolger), Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) and even Jack and the Beanstalk. Are there any other fairy-tale characters you can tease?
Horowitz: We can say that we are going to tell a back story of the character who, in a lot of ways, is like a new fairy-tale character because she is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. We are going to give a little more backstory into Emma before she had Henry. Maybe go back and look at Comic-Con where we did a series of title cards. One of them had a yellow bug on it. That's Emma's car, and that was meant to signify a dip into her past.
Once Upon a Time Photos: Regina's magic woes, the Charming family reunion!
Rumple and Belle (Emilie de Ravin) finally reunited, but it seems like he may have crossed a line by reintroducing magic. How does that affect their relationship?
Horowitz: Gold is a meticulous man, as is Rumplestiltskin, and he had a plan that he has been enacting. The wild card was Belle because he never, ever thought she was going to be coming back, and he is a man who has, in the past, always chosen power over love. He's on a mission, and here he has a second chance with the woman he always regretted letting go. We see that push-and-pull between what he wants to do and how to win her heart as well.
How will Ruby (Meghan Ory) deal with her wolf issue in the real world?
Kitsis: That is a concern because magic is a little unpredictable, and it's been a long time since she's been a wolf. We have an entire episode in the first run of episodes where we deal with that, in fact.
Horowitz: Meghan is a series regular, and we are very excited to show more of her this year because we loved the character of Red and Ruby last year. I think now that she remembers who she is, it's almost like she gets to really explore some new character depths this season.
Wondering about the fate of Pinocchio? Or how Snow and Charming will take back their kingdom? Stay tuned for more scoop from the executive producers next week! For now, hit the comments with your excitement about Once Upon a Time's return, airing this Sunday at 8/7c on ABC.

Trading volume and volatility are dragging along low levels as stocks reach new highs. That's made for a nervous complacency where a correction could really blindside investors, some stock pickers are warning. The CBOE Volatility Index closed at its lowest point since Feb. 23, 2007 on Friday. It bounced back 4% to 11.18 on Monday even as stocks logged slight gains.
So what is the likelihood of a correction? Take these statistics from the WSJ's data group:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average experiences a bull market correction on average roughly every 12 months, their analysts note. The Dow is now up approximately 59% from its last correction low on October 3, 2011 and is on its 32nd month without a 10% pullback.
Most investors are extremely and complacently bullish and are ignoring weaker seasonal historical trends that occur around this time, said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets.
Near-term, while many acknowledge that a pullback is coming, there's too much complacency and that makes a surprise pullback very likely, according to Belski. Stocks have already spent half the year clawing their way back to low-to-mid single digit gains for the year after an initial drop that followed 2013's 30% gain.
"I would be super careful as an investor being uber, uber-bullish right now after the huge move," he said.
Still, at its healthiest, a bull can run for quite a long time without a pause. The longest period without at least a 10% pullback was during the 1990-1997 run, at 82 months, according to the WSJ's data group.
Sam Stovall, managing director of U.S. equity strategy at S&P Capital IQ, said in a recent note that market bears have been eating a lot of crow lately but may soon see some vindication.
The S&P 500 is certainly overbought, in our opinion, and has gone well beyond the time in which it typically endures a correction or worse (the 500 has advanced for 32 months without a decline of 10% or more, versus the average of 18 months since 1945). In addition, valuations on trailing and projected Operating and GAAP (also known as "As Reported") earnings per share, are equal to their long-term averages.
But Stovall said June may not be the month for the pullback, or at least that's how it's happened in the past. Since 1945, the fewest pullbacks on the S&P 500 have started in June with 4%. October had the most with 11%, and May, July , and August had 10%.
Speaking of "overbought," Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at MKM Partners, called the SPDR S&P 500 ETF "extremely overbought."
If today closes positive, SPY would be up 14 of the last 17 days. 2 of the 3 down days were -0.05%, and -0.07% (essentially flat). The SPX is now 8.3% above its 200 [daily moving average], which is within a few points of the largest spread in 2014. Of course this spread can get much wider (12% in May 2013), but we have to ask what is the risk/reward over the next few days?

Tech Prep, which began in the early 1980s as a small, locally driven high school improvement strategy, has grown into a major national strategy for improving students' academic knowledge and technical skills. As defined in the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act (Perkins), Tech Prep is a sequenced program of study that combines at least two years of secondary and two years of postsecondary education. It is designed to help students gain academic knowledge and technical skills, and often earn college credit for their secondary coursework. Programs are intended to lead to an associate's degree or a certificate in a specific career field, and ultimately, to high wage, high skill employment or advanced postsecondary training.
To date, roughly 47% of the nation's high schools (or 7,400 high schools) offer one or more Tech Prep programs. Nearly every community and technical college in the nation participates in a Tech Prep consortium, as do many four-year colleges and universities, private businesses, and employer and union organizations.
Research on the effectiveness of Tech Prep programs is inconclusive. State evaluations in Texas and New York found some evidence that Tech Prep improved students' grade point averages, lowered dropout, reduced absences, increased high school completion, and improved postsecondary enrollment. However, these evaluations did not find evidence that Tech Prep improved students' scores on standardized academic achievement tests, and findings were mixed on whether Tech Prep improved students' postsecondary achievement or labor market outcomes. The last national evaluation of Tech Prep programs, conducted in 1997, found that Tech Prep programs were not always implemented as envisioned in the legislation, perhaps lessening their impact on student outcomes.
The Department provides funding under the Perkins Act to help states and local educational agencies implement effective Tech Prep programs. The Act also supports the Tech Prep Demonstration Program, which currently provides funds to nine consortia that operate Tech Prep programs at high schools located on community college campuses. These programs support students' transitions to postsecondary education through dual enrollment, access to advanced facilities and labs, and exposure to college life.

ALAMEDA — The Raiders signed former Mission San Jose High School place kicker Justin Medlock and trimmed four players from the roster Tuesday to get to the NFL limit of 75 players.
Medlock worked out for the Raiders Monday, with the team in need of a kicker for Thursday night's game in Seattle because of an apparent injury to Sebastian Janikowski.
Linebacker Miles Burris, a 15-game starter last season, was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, meaning he will miss at least the first six games of the season.
Placed on injured reserve, meaning they won't play for the Raiders this season, were cornerback Joselio Hanson and running back Latavius Murray. Murray, a fifth-round draft pick out of Central Florida, had recent arthroscopic ankle surgery.
The Raiders also waived cornerback Mitchell White.
Medlock, who played in college at UCLA, has played in 11 games, 10 with the Caroilina Panthers, and is 8-for-12 on field goal attempts. He also played two season for the Toronto Argonauts (2009-10) and one season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2011).
Medlock, who had six field goals of 50 yards or more in college, was a college teammate of punter Chris Kluwe in 2003 and 2004 and was a sixth-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs.

MONDAY, Nov. 7 (HealthDay News) -- The image of the brilliant young scientist making groundbreaking discoveries is iconic, especially in the fields of physics, chemistry and math.
Marie Curie's Nobel win in her early 30s for her discovery of radioactivity, and Albert Einstein's paper on his "Special Theory of Relativity," and another on the behavior of light for which he later won the Nobel prize -- both written in his mid-20s -- helped feed such notions.
However, new research in the Nov. 7 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences looking at Nobel Prize winners over the last century casts doubt on the idea that one must be youthful to rock the science world.
"There's a widespread perception that people in more abstract disciplines like mathematics and physics tend to do their best work at earlier ages compared to people in more concrete or contextual disciplines, like medicine or history. But we found that increasingly over the last century, especially in physics and in chemistry, people are doing important work at older ages," said study co-author Bruce Weinberg, a professor of economics at Ohio State University, in Columbus.
"So if you are 30 or 40 or 50, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't do important work in science, and presumably in other fields as well," Weinberg said.
Weinberg said despite the many assumptions, no one had looked closely at the topic, so he and colleague Benjamin Jones of Northwestern University, in Chicago, created a dataset culled from 525 Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry and medicine between 1900 and 2008.
They also read hundreds of biographies and autobiographies, collecting such details as at what age a scientist won his or her Nobel, and whether that material was more empirical or theoretical in nature.
The team also tracked the level of education achieved at the time of their award win, as well as when an individual earned his or her highest degree and how long it took to achieve it.
Weinberg said the researchers used what economists call a regression analysis, a commonly used statistical procedure, to tease out what the relationships were, and graphed age at peak creativity within fields and the change over time within fields.
The result: "We discovered there's a tendency toward more important scientific contributions coming at later ages," said Weinberg. The team say the trend was associated with the accumulation of knowledge over time, as well as a shift away from abstract, theoretical work towards more practical experimentation as the scientist got older.
Weinberg and Jones found that theoretical work peaked more often in a scientist's early career, but more experimental work blossomed with maturity. The only exception to this trend occurred in the field of physics.
The study observations are sound, but there could be many explanations for the findings, noted one Nobel Laureate, Dr. Oliver Smithies, Weatherspoon Eminent Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Smithies, 86, won the Nobel Prize in 2007 for work he had conducted at age 60, developing methods to alter genes in mice.
"Their observations are interesting, but the reasons behind the age distribution are not so easy to say. It could be due to the complexity of the field, or it could be because people are getting married earlier and their work is being delayed a little longer," Smithies said.
Still, the new study is an important contribution to the literature on age and achievement, said Dr. David Henry Feldman, director of the Developmental Science Group at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development, at Tufts University.
"The long-held assumption that we are washed up by 30, or whatever age, in scientific fields is probably not true," he said. It's not true of other fields either, Feldman believes, although society's youth-focused tendencies sometimes make it blind to professional successes of older people, especially in the humanities and arts.
Feldman also noted that success can depend a great deal upon the field in which you work, and the work being done in that field during any given period.
"Our study suggests that people can do really important and original work, even well into their careers," said Weinberg.
Smithies, who has sustained a rich professional life well into his ninth decade, said, "I still feel about 35. I'm doing experiments. My wife is a scientist, too, so that's our major interest, even on weekends. And I'm still flying. I just renewed my license."

On Friday February 19th, 2009 the Stratton Mountains Sun Bowl zone finally lived up to its name as the 28th annual US Open got under way. It is amazing that after nearly three decades Stratton still hosts an event which many believe is the most prestigious contest in snowboarding. Amazing! I say this because going to Stratton is akin to embarking on one big scavenger hunt where cell phone service and internet access are most elusive. Easier to locate are dread locks, mud, and old bitter skiers. The thing about having such nice weather at the open is it helps you focus on how shitty everything else about Stratton is. Enough of my gripes with Stratton because this article is supposed to be about today's slopestyle which I must admit was outstanding.
While most media outlets, SNOWBOARDER included, have spent much of this past winter waxing about the goings on of the U-tube riders and their parlaying of the double cork into a must do trick, slopestyle has been having a renaissance of its own. Most halfpipe pundits would have you believe that modern double corks were spawned in the wilds of Colorado but the fact is that dudes like JP Walker, David Benedek, Eero Ettela and Travis Rice have been two timing these tricks on the regular for at least the past five years. Now every weekend nearly twice as many riders are throwing double corks in slopestyle contests than you'll ever see chucked above the lip. The 2010 US Open Slopestyle finals were no exception.
Despite the shortcomings of its Stratton venue part of what keeps people coming back to the Open year after year is its equal pay initiatives. This means that the chicks get the same checks as the dudes in each and every event. The fairer sex put on a stellar slopestyle show at Stratton. Back to back 5's and fs sevens were commonplace as the ladies put the Snow Park Technologies course threw it's paces.
Third place for the ladies was won by Jamie Anderson. The South Lake shred could have taken the top spot after stomping a bs 5 on the first booter to sw bs 5 on the second but the third hit 720 didn't turn out well enough to bump her up. New Zealander Shelly Gotleid linked up a cab 5 to back flip to take second and Swiss sensation SIna Candrian took top honors with a cab 5 to fs 7 at the top of the course.
Third for the dudes side of the card was Sebastien Toutant. After incurring an injury at the Air & Style in December Seb sat out much of the season waiting till Stratton and the Open to come off the bench which he did in a big way. Seb is one of the most technical slopestyle riders on the scene and his performance at Stratton was true to form as he chucked double Rippey flips and 1080 Murphy flips.
Ulrik Badertscher took second at Stratton with another dizzying display of double corkedness. What put Ulrik ahead of most of the field was his stunt off of the canon ball jib at the bottom of the course. While others were content to flat spin and backside rodeo off of this unique jib Ulrik chucked a double front flip a la Ben Hinkley off the top.
Mikkel "nickel bag" Bang easily won the open slopestyle with a run that included everything from 1260''s to late backside 180 double poke shifty's off of the canon. Right from run one Mikkel Bang had it in the bag.
Time to wrap this up as it is late and I am returning to the scavenger hunt in hopes of finding a cold beer. Though I have yet to find most of the items on the scavenger list I didn't have any trouble spotting world class slopestyle riding which is why I suppose we all keep coming back to the open year after year. And since you are reading this on the internet I must have found the web somewhere as well. Lucky me.

Dear Bay Weekly:
My husband and I were fishing out on the Bay near the Eastern Shore on Sunday Nov. 14. We started noticing little spiders all over the boat. Then we saw spider webs on the rods and on the radio antenna. Then when the sun was just right, we saw hundreds of long spider webs floating in the air with the current. Some were up to 30 feet long. It was fascinating. Some of the spiders just fell right out of the sky. One landed on my husband's head.
Did anyone else see this? Of course there were many boats on the Bay that day because it was so beautiful. I would really just love to have an explanation of what this was all about.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
The UC Santa Barbara women's tennis team captured the doubles point against visiting Georgia State this afternoon, but could not overcome the Panthers in singles play losing a tightly contested match, 4-3. With the loss the Gauchos drop their overall record to 4-5 on the season. The match was the Gauchos fourth in a five-day span.
"We're getting used to these types of battles, which is good," said head coach Pete Kirkwood. "I put the team through a lot with four matches in five days, and coming back from the road trip we knew it was going to be a tough match."
In doubles play, sophomores Jill Damion and Asagi Onaga dispatched the Panther duo of Dariana Kozmina and Kiara Powell, 8-4, to give UC Santa Barbara the early lead. UC Santa Barbara secured the doubles point, when sophomore Bryanna Ojeda and senior Juliette Mutzke defeated the pair of Mateja Podgorsek and Kiara Powell, 8-6, at the No. 3 doubles slot.
Georgia State was victorious in the first two singles matches, quickly winning at No. 2 and No. 3. The Gauchos stormed back winning two of the next three matches. Senior Brittany Kausen defeated Kiera Strickland 6-1, 6-3, at No. 6. Bryanna Ojeda assumed the No. 5 singles position for the resting Tova Hausman, and dropped her match to Kiara Powell 6-3, 7-5. At the No. 4 singles spot, Asagi Onaga evened the match at 3-3, by disposing of Panther Katerina Gresova 6-4, 6-4. In a back and forth three hour singles match, Dariana Kozmina outlasted senior Marta Simic 5-7, 6-1, 9-6 to give the visiting Panthers the 4-3 victory.
"We're not disappointed about this at all," said head coach Pete Kirkwood. "The fact that we could be this competitive in a match like this after playing three tough matches in Arizona, you can't complain."
UCSB returns to conference play this Saturday, as they battle the University of Pacific. First serve at the Rob Gym Tennis Courts is set for 11:00 a.m. (PT).

As the decade draws to an end, I have decided to complete this blog's run as well. 640 or so posts is a lot of material. I think I've said enough at this URL.
No, I am not cowering to my detractors. Though they have criticized the content and premise of my blog with little or no original thought of their own, they are not the sole reason to end living in misery. I have probably posted longer than I intended just to spite them.
I will continue to blog elsewhere. Right now I am deciding which of my blogs are worth keeping and which should be digitally burned forever. Plus, I have an idea for a new blog that is more thoughtful and universal in it's message. A link will be posted here in a few days once it's up and running.
Thank you for reading, commenting, and participating in this little experiment. It's been fun. I love you all.
Leave any good byes, pleasant memories, or good riddance in the comments. I probably won't respond, but I'll read every one.

Interview date: 8/11/2008
Run date: 8/29/2008
TV Home / Entertainment Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Barry Bostwick is probably best known to today's audiences as the lovably befuddled Mayor Randall Winston from "Spin City," but cult movie aficionados will always remember him as Brad in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Currently, however, Bostwick is playing the role of a lifetime…sort of…as the President of the United States in Spike TV's new original film, "Depth Charge." We spoke with Bostwick about his latest gig, his time on "Spin City," and while touch-a touch-a touching on a couple of his other notable films, we even got him to offer up his frank opinion about the threatened "Rocky Horror" remake.
Bullz-Eye: Hi, Barry.
Barry Bostwick: Hi! Can you hear me okay?
BE: I can.
BB: Oh good, because I'm on my speaker phone. How are you?
BE: I'm doing good. Good to speak with you. So how did you come to find yourself in "Depth Charge"? Was it the siren song of playing the President?
BB: Well, you know, it was a job. How did I come about doing it? Well they offered me the part, number one; that's always nice. I guess it wasn't much of a stretch for them to cast me as President or as a politician. You know, actually, I love submarine movies. I was lucky enough to get a Golden Globe award for playing a submarine captain in "War and Remembrance." Way back when…well, way back when "War and Remembrance" was on…I loved the whole submarine experience. I think there's such tension, and it just crackles when you're inside of a submarine in those close quarters, and it's dark and there are sparks, and there's water falling in your face. Of course, as the President, I was in my safe house in…did you see the movie yet?
BE: Yeah, I did.
BB: Well, you know, actually, we shot that at a friend's house out here in Malibu, so I had to go maybe four miles from my home. It was the easiest job I have ever had in my life! (Laughs) I woke up leisurely; I went to my friend's house, had a cup of coffee and then became the President. It was out on Point Dume, and it had this wonderful ocean view, and we kept on saying, "Well, where is this guy's house supposed to be, anyway?" And they said, "Palo Alto." I said, "Well, I don't think Palo Alto has an ocean view, but let's use it, anyway." So not that many people know that, I guess. But the house worked out beautifully, and it looks like it could be a President's enclave, doesn't it?
BE: Absolutely. So how did you prepare for the role, as far as the mindset goes? Did you just go in treating every line with, shall we say, deadly seriousness?
BB: Yeah, you know, it was such a slightly over-the-top jeopardy that you had to take it so serious, because when the threat is that they are going to blow up the east coast of the United States with nuclear weapons…
BE: One false step and it's all over.
BB: Yeah, yeah. You know, you had to just sort of swing with it and…I mean, I think that's it. The threat was so large that, as the character, I needed so much input from the people who knew more about submarines and stealth and this and that. That's why his best friend or whoever that other guy was…I guess he was the joint chief of staff or something or head of the Navy. That shows you how much I was paying attention! But he and I had a great relationship and played off each other well, I thought. He filled in the blanks, you know, when I couldn't…when it wasn't within probably the intellectual realm of the President to have that kind of information. You know, all I could do was just try to keep the people safe underwater who were really trying to solve the problem.
BE: Right. And I would think you occasionally had to fight to keep a straight face as well.
BB: Yeah, well… (Stops for a moment) You're seriously on that, aren't you? Yeah, well, you know what? I never really had any totally stupid lines like usually happens in these things. I mean, I don't remember one line that I really gagged on. You know, the situations were outlandish, but I didn't have to comment on them in a stupid, obvious way.
BE: Actually, I talked to Eric Roberts a couple months ago, and he said that when it comes to picking projects, he does it as much to keep practicing the art of acting as anything else.
BB: Well I think he's right, and I thought he had a really good part. I mean, he loves these dark characters. He plays them so well; he's got that chiseled face. He and I were a nice contrast because I play…I can play dark characters, but I think I play trustworthy, mature people. He was right: you reach a certain age where you just want to keep acting, and you want to keep seeing whether or not you can do it, because unless you're on a T.V. series, you don't do it that often.
BE: This is being described as one of Spike's "guy movies". When you think of guy movies, what films come to mind personally?
BB: "Jeremiah Johnson."
BE: Nice.
BB: Do you know that one?
BE: I do, yes.
BB: Love that movie. To me, that's a guy movie. You know, a guy out in the wilderness. I remember I was living in New York, years ago when I was starting out acting, and that movie came out and it was such a release from the angst of living in New York City. To go to that thing and just be out in the woods. That was a total guy movie to me.
BE: "Spin City", I understand that they are getting ready to issue a Season 1 DVD set.
BB: Yeah.
BE: Did you guys contribute to that?
BB: Yeah, I did an interview about a month ago for it. I'm happy they are doing it. I think it's a worthy show, and I think it has a really nice wide fan base, and it's still on the air all over the world. Every time I'm out sort of somewhere where people recognize me, so many people say, "I watch it every morning before I go to work or someplace." The fans who know the show and like the show are very loyal to the show.
BE: What made you decide to step into a full-time TV series?
BB: They offered me the job. Do you get the theme in my answers here?
BE: (Laughs) I do. In this case, though, I just meant as opposed to sticking with film.
BB: Well, you know, I had a young child. I had a baby who was like a year, year and a half old, my wife was pregnant with our second child, and I thought it was time to sort of stay home for awhile. And I think she did, too. And I wanted to, so we packed up and moved to New York for…well, we were there, we did five seasons in New York and then two seasons out here…? Or four seasons in New York? I don't know, whatever. We moved everybody to New York, lived out in the country for eight years. and raised our kids out there up to that age. and then moved back to the Malibu area. It was so I could be home every night rather than traveling around trying to make a living in Madagascar.
BE: You did a couple of spots on "Law & Order: SVU." Whose idea was it to bring Michael Boatman on for one of those episodes as well?
BB: It was theirs. We kept exchanging lawyer points on that. I think I actually got the part originally because he couldn't do an episode, and then they cast me and then they came up with this character who was like the lawyer to the rich people and the guy who charged too much money and who had nice suits and was the mouthpiece for the socialites in New York City who had troubled kids and were always trying…but I never won a case. In fact, I'm about to start…I'm going to start another episode of 'Ugly Betty" this week. I did an "Ugly Betty" last season where I basically was the worst lawyer in the world, and I liked that. I like the fact that I come off as somebody who should be on top of it all, but I'm just inept.
BE: Have you heard about the remake of "Rocky Horror" that MTV is planning?
BB: No.
BE: Yep. They are threatening to do a remake.
BB: Oh, really. That's a waste of money.
BE: Well, that's kind of what I would say, but I was curious what your thoughts would be…and I guess that answers it.
BB: Yeah, that would be like saying…and understand that I'm not making this as a total comparison, but it would be like saying, 'Hey, let's go remake 'Casablanca'! How are you going to remake it? Every time it was done on stage, I thought it showed the flaws of the piece. I think it's a one-off; I don't think you can repeat that. I mean, look at the sequel. What was that called? 'Shock Treatment'?
BE: Right. Exactly.
BB: I never saw that, but it was a miserable failure…even more of one than 'Rocky Horror' was when it first came out! That one wasn't even re-discovered and turned into a cult hit. I mean, I don't know. You should just leave those things alone. I think films like ('Rocky Horror') are stand-alones, and they're brilliant for what they were at the time they were done. I mean, you would have to do it as a period piece. It's not like you're going to update 'Oklahoma.' It's of its time.
BE: Do you remember the moment when you realized what a cult phenomenon "Rocky Horror" had become? Was there a particular epiphany?
BB: Probably when I saw it downtown in New York at…I forget the name of the theater. But it was when it was first being discovered, and they started talking back at the screen, you know, and I realized how involved the audience was and how they owned the experience because they wanted to become part of the experience. By being another character in the film, it made the whole sort of theatricalization of it fascinating to me, and it eventually got to the point where you couldn't hear the movie at all. The audience became like the lead…and the second lead and the third lead, and everybody was trying to out shout everybody else.
BE: What do you hear about "Megaforce" coming out on DVD?
BB: I haven't heard anything. (Excitedly) Is it?
BE: No, I haven't heard anything. I just didn't know if you…
BB: No. I mean, I think that would be a good thing. That's another sort of cult movie.
BE: Absolutely.
BB: That was a flawed movie also. I swear to God, the big problem with that movie was that nobody died, you know? It had great special effects and flying motorcycles and this and that, but then we would hit a tank and fly in the air and then land, and then everybody would get out and run away. It was like this PG war movie that…certain films, they make one bad move, one bad judgment, one bad decision, and I think that was the problem with that one. It just became too PG…and it was too bad, because I thought it could have been good. It was good, but I just thought it could have been better.
BE: I don't know if you ever heard that "South Park" actually paid tribute to the movie in an introduction on one of their DVD sets.
BB: To "Megaforce"? No!
BE: There's an intro to one of the episodes on DVD, and Trey Parker starts to describe what they are going to see in the episode, and then about midway through, Matt Stone goes, "Actually, you're describing 'Megaforce,' not this episode.' And Trey says, "Man, we should have done 'Megaforce' instead. That was a sweet movie."
BB: That's funny. You know, I didn't even realize it was sort of a cult movie until I did some autograph signings a couple of months ago in New Jersey, and the organizers of the event said, 'Well, you know, you're going to get a lot of people for 'Megaforce' here," and I did. I was totally shocked by it. That was just one of those movies that I had sort of banked away somewhere in my memory, and I hadn't even thought about it in a long time.
BE: And the last question, so I can keep you on track: what's your favorite project that you worked on that didn't get the love that you thought it deserved, and why does it deserve that love?
BB: That didn't get the love that I thought it deserved? Let me think about this. You know what? Years ago, I did a long miniseries about George Washington, and it was successful at the time, but it didn't quite have the legs that I thought it should have had. I thought it was really the best interpretation of what Washington was like in his real life, and his life and times. The History Channel plays it occasionally, but I put a lot...half a year of my life…into filming it, and a lot of time into working on it, and doing all the research and everything. I mean, I even went to psychics to try to connect me with Washington! I just did everything I could to get connected with our first President. It had a following at the time, but it never really translated into anything else in my personal career. It was like another one of those one offs. It was sort of like, well, yeah, he played the first President, but it was historical, you know? It didn't have the sort of bite and energy, in terms of career-wise, that I thought it would have. Even though it won awards, it didn't win awards for me, and I was a little disappointed in the overall reception of that for me, personally. Patty Duke got an Emmy nomination, and I think if it was done today, it would be treated a little differently. I think it would have been accepted a little bit more, but because it was the first time that Washington had been dealt with in that way…I don't know. I just didn't think that it had the legs that it should have.
BE: Well, it's been a pleasure speaking with you.
BB: Well, thank you. And I'm going to check out that "Megaforce" spoof thing!
BE: Absolutely. It's on the Season 2 DVD of "South Park"; it's the intro to one of the episodes, one called "The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka."
BB: Okay, great. Thank you so much!
BE: No problem. Pleasure speaking with you.BB: You, too!

Jay-Z has won 14 Grammy Awards, written a book, put a ring on Beyoncé, and has now successfully relocated the Nets (the NBA team he owns a partial stake in) from New Jersey to his hometown of Brooklyn.
If you can accomplish any of the above, or a reasonable equivalent, we'll be the first to buy you a drink. But one way you can be like Jay right here and now is to rock the same Baldwin camo trousers he's been spotted wearing all over the world (as reported by GQ.com).
Watch the Nets defend their new home turf against the Boston Celtics tonight at 8pm EST on TNT.
But first, on a related note, here's another camouflage collage from our research file. (See the previous one here.)

More than 98 percent of IUCN NGO members and 70 percent of state members voted in favour of a new climate change mitigation resolution. The resolution targets more specific goals and actions on biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods protection.
Addressing Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the call emphasizes the need for recognizing the role that ecological networks and the system of Protected Areas can play in mitigation and adaptation. It also emphasizes the need to ensure that climate funds are invested in the systems to maintain their functions in climate change.
The resolution put forward a request to the IUCN Director General to promote the adoption of the target of reducing greenhouse gas emission by 50 percent to 58 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 at the 15th UNFCCC Convention of Parties in Copenhagen in 2009.
A multi-national, IUCN-member expert group discussed and revised the document before it went to the assembly. However, it is yet to have support from a number of countries that could have significant impact on the achievement of the set out target, such as Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
Drafted and submitted by the IUCN Council, the resolution is built on previous IUCN resolutions on climate change, observed scientific evidence and global framework documents on climate change, such as the Bali Action Plan and the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Having been adopted by the governing body of the Union, this document will now provide a clear direction for the implementation of the IUCN global programme in the next four years to combat climate change.

Snyder, an active APTA member since 1969, made a tremendous impact on the profession during her career. Nationally recognized for her professional skill and knowledge, she served APTA as vice president, on the Board of Directors, and as president of the Foundation for Physical Therapy. Snyder was a tireless advocate for the profession and attended APTA's Federal Advocacy Forum more than 20 years. In 2004, she received APTA's Federal Government Affairs Leadership Award for her efforts at the federal level to preserve and promote the profession of physical therapy. Snyder owned and operated Snyder Physical Therapy in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was elected a councilwoman on the City Council of Lincoln in May 2009. She was a life-long campaigner for Lincoln's trails system. She also served as a member of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Board of Health. A lifetime runner, Snyder completed 50 marathons in 27 separate states. Snyder's extraordinary accomplishments are detailed in the Omaha-World Herald and at JournalStar.com. A funeral is scheduled on October 10, 10 am, at First-Plymouth Congregational Church in Lincoln. In November 2010, APTA established the Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund to honor Snyder's contributions to APTA, the profession, and the community and acknowledge and reward physical therapists who are single mothers or fathers who exhibit the determination and desire to return to school to obtain a professional or postprofessional degree from a physical therapist education program. Donations to the Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund can be sent to the PT Fund at 1111 N Fairfax St, Alexandria, VA, 22314. Please write the check to "PT Fund" and in the Memo line write "Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund." Comments I am saddened to hear of Jayne's passing.

A not-so-funny thing happened on Silicon Valley's way to an economic recovery. In the first quarter of 2010, while venture fundings in New England, New York and Southern California smartly marched forward from the recession, the dollars flowing to valley startups slowed, an industry report shows.
The regional shift is small and "nothing to be alarmed about," said John Taylor, vice president of research for the National Venture Capital Association. Although dollars were down, the valley's share of the number of deals showed little change, he noted.
Overall, the shrinking venture industry provided Bay Area startups with $1.53 billion in 202 deals during the quarter. That was substantially down from $1.94 billion invested in 268 deals in the previous quarter and $2.35 billion in 219 deals in the quarter before that, according to MoneyTree, a widely used industry survey.
By contrast, the tech hubs of Boston, New York and Los Angeles/Orange County all showed positive momentum.
New England recorded $749 million in venture investments, up from $692 million the previous quarter. New York startups landed $566 million, up from $476 million. The Los Angeles/Orange County area landed $464 million, way up from $284 million — a gain driven by $115 million invested in Fisker Automotive, an Irvine-based electric car startup. The Fisker investment was the biggest venture deal of the quarter.
Nationwide, the funding trend looked more like the valley, contracting from the two previous quarters. Overall venture investments totaled $4.73 billion. That fell short of the $5 billion-plus totals in the previous two quarters, but was well above the year-ago quarterly total of $3.36 billion, when the financial crisis "was basically shell shock for everybody," Taylor said.
With the Greater Silicon Valley at the forefront, "California tends to lead the way back" after a recession, Taylor said. Trends over recent years show California startups representing about 40 percent of the deals and corralling close to 50 percent of the money.
The valley's dip in investments coincided with a decline in fundraising by venture firms nationwide. During the quarter, $3.6 billion was raised in 32 funds, roughly keeping pace with trends following the financial crisis. In 2009, venture capitalists raised $15.8 billion in 140 funds, compared with $28.5 billion in 225 funds in 2008 and $36.2 billion in 253 funds in 2007.
While both valley entrepreneurs and VCs have found it harder to attract investments, the attitude among VCs was improving during the quarter. Recent surveys and other reports have showed that valley VCs were growing more confident in the recovery as the pace of mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings picked up.

Letter to the House supporting the economic stimulus package and an extension of the Secure Rural Schools program
September 26, 2008
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, we strongly urge you to VOTE YES on the economic stimulus package scheduled for floor debate today.
As educators, NEA members are witnessing the impacts of the economic crisis firsthand. Schools are seeing record numbers of students who are homeless or poor enough to qualify for free school meals, and record numbers of students needing donated backpacks and school supplies, because their families cannot afford to buy them. Rising fuel costs are forcing school districts to take drastic measures, including trimming or eliminating bus service, cutting all field trips, and shortening the school week. Some states have already been forced to layoff school staff.
As many as 27 states are predicting deficits for FY09 of at least $25 billion. A growing number of states have made or are considering harmful cuts in health care, education, and other vital services. Congress must act now before states are forced to make further devastating cuts.
The proposed stimulus package would help address these urgent needs by providing,
- A temporary increase in the federal Medicaid match. Such an increase is a proven, effective way to provide relief to states and protect the health care of millions of Americans. The package includes $19.6 billion to increase the Federal share of Medicaid costs by four percent.
- Job creation through investments in infrastructure, including school construction. The package includes $2 billion for school construction, an amount that would be sufficient to create an estimated 32,300 jobs.
- A one-year extension of the Secure Rural Schools Act. These funds are critically urgent to over 775 rural counties and 4,400 schools nationwide that are facing permanent cuts to teaching positions and school and road improvement programs. Nearly 7,000 teachers and educational staff across the country have received pink slips and will otherwise not have a job when the new school year begins this September.
- Increases in food stamp benefits and other nutrition assistance for families struggling to survive in the face of rapidly rising food prices.
- An extension of Unemployment assistance to those who have exhausted their benefits. Specifically, the package extends unemployment benefits by seven weeks in all states and another thirteen weeks in high unemployment states.
Again, we strongly urge your support for this package.
Diane Shust, Director of Government Relations
Randall Moody, Manager of Federal Advocacy

ECHL Game Night: 2-19-13
Florida Everblades 5 vs. Gwinnett Gladiators 4
F Maxime Langelier-Parent, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 3 GP, 2-1-3, -3, 5 PIM
(Syracuse Crunch contract)
D Daniel Milan, FLA: 0-0-0, -2, 0 SOG, 0 PIM

G Pat Nagle, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 25 GP, 12-7-2, 3.09 GAA, 666 S / 736 SA (.905 SV%), 0 SO
Despite being more than doubled up in shots, Florida dispatched their heavyweight divisional rivals for the third-straight time, this time at home after taking both wins on the road over the weekend, to move within two points of a tie for 1st place. Florida built up a commanding 5-2 lead heading into the final frame on the strength of three power play tallies, including two in the first ten minutes of the contest. Both teams had six opportunities with the man advantage but Gwinnett, to Florida's credit, was only able to convert once. Gwinnett scored a shorthanded goal with nine seconds remaining in regulation to top off a furious third period comeback attempt during which the Gladiators held the Everblades to just two shots while posting fourteen of their own. Florida's captain and leading scorer Mathieu Roy notched a hat trick. Pat Nagle served as backup to Rob Madore for the third-straight game. Alex Hutchings and Charles Landry remain with Syracuse of the AHL. After playing four games over the last five days, Florida (28-17-9, 65 PTS) has a couple days to rest before playing host to Evansville (19-30-5, 43 PTS), which currently brings up the rear of the North Division, on Friday night.

Why not throw a party and match your jewelry to your cake? I love this simple duo, especially the little gold dots that really make the cake and cuff special. Elegant and sweet.
Have a great Wednesday. Hope you have something fun planned tonight to get you through to the other side of the week.
Oh and ps. I'm over on Michaela Noelle Designs today sharing some things I love (and don't love) right now. Check it out!
