Commissioner Bud Selig offered a one-word review of the Miami Marlins’ new ballpark.

“All you can say is, `Wow,’” Selig said.

Muhammad Ali had the same reaction.

Selig’s critique came 90 minutes before the first pitch of the first game Wednesday in the Marlins’ season opener against the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, who won 4-1.

The ballpark’s retractable roof, which is expected to be closed for all but about 10 games, was opened 30 minutes before the start. When the Marlins were introduced, each starter was accompanied by a young lady dressed as Latin showgirl.

Hope Solo Nude in ESPN Magazine NS4W Photo

Posted: 06 Oct 2011 04:48 AM PDT

Soccer star and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Hope Solo considers her work in the ballroom one of the most difficult things she's ever done – even harder than posing nude for ESPN magazine's annual "Body Issue."

Hope stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday where she chatted about dropping her clothes for the mag's racy shoot.

"[It's] one of the hardest photo shoots I've ever done. It took a lot of courage obviously," she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. "Probably for eight hours I was naked in front of eight people."

The athlete said she eventually got super comfortable baring it all.

"I was so nervous at first that I started screaming when they dropped the robe, and then by the end of the day I was talking to people like it was nothing," she said of the shots, which will hit newsstands on Friday. "Just standing there nude having conversations."

Baring her body might have been difficult for Hope at first, but she said it was nothing compared to competing on "DWTS."

"This is one of the hardest things I've never done," the athlete, who was spared from elimination on Tuesday's "DWTS" results show, said. "This is harder than the naked photo shoot, I assure you. [I'm] more sure of myself being naked than dancing, absolutely."

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2011

Posted: 01 Oct 2011 09:21 PM PDT

More than 20 years ago, while volunteering at a breast cancer screening clinic, I found myself, a non-medical professional, walking my fingertips across the body of a stranger. My job was to hand each woman's chart to Dr. R., also a volunteer, refresh the exam table between patients with a crisp new length of white paper, and serve as a chaperone. The turnout was low, and the pace was slow — until in walked a petite woman with beautiful skin and thick wavy hair a striking shade of strawberry blond. She moved stiffly, her knees unbending, her arms, hands, and fingers curled at odd angles. Her chart revealed that she was 40 years old, had suffered from arthritis since childhood — and was here because she had felt a lump in her left breast three weeks earlier.
Her disability prevented her from climbing onto the table, so Dr. R. lifted her up and helped her to lie back. As he gently kneaded her small breasts, he said, "Yes, there is a lump here. You need to do something about this. You must do something about this." Then, "Would you mind if the trainee examined this?"
She agreed, and that's when I felt it, the sinister squatter that had taken up residence in the body of this woman who'd never laid eyes on me before. It was hard, the size and shape of a walnut, and lodged firmly just behind the nipple. I will never forget how it felt when my finger tripped over it, like a toe trips over a stone in soft sand; if I ever feel such a thing in my own breast, I will recognize it for what it is, get help — and in my heart thank the strawberry blond woman for her extraordinary gift to me.
Afterwards, Dr. R. pulled his stool up close and spoke kindly and frankly to the woman, outlining what the next weeks and months would likely bring — the mammogram, the biopsy, the treatment options, the possible loss of her breast. The details of this litany escaped me. In my mind's eye I saw my grandmother changing clothes years after her own mastectomy, her chest flat as a board, the area beneath her arm concave where cancer-stricken lymph nodes had been removed, as if a big bite had been taken from her side. Is this what was in store for the redheaded woman? For any woman who develops breast cancer? For me?
Thankfully, no. The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have come a long way since my grandmother's bout with the disease. Biopsies and lumpectomies typically are often removed through the area around the aereola, so that the breast has very little distortion. Even when a mastectomy is necessary, reconstruction of the breast can begin at the time of that surgery. This is what money given by so many over the past 20 years has yielded: earlier detection, improved treatment, and a better quality of life after diagnosis for a great percentage of women.

October is officially Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we at WVFC hope that we can be as helpful to you in the coming four weeks as the strawberry blond woman I encountered two decades ago was to me — by providing informational, practical, and inspiring content about the most common cancer among women.
We also would like to hear from you. What stories do you have to share about breast cancer — your own or that of a friend or loved one? What questions do you have for the breast specialists on our medical advisory board? Please add your voice to ours, share your story, your thoughts, your observations. And for inspiration: Check out this rousing sequel to last year's Pink Glove Dance. Enjoy!

Amanda Knox should be sentenced to life

Posted: 24 Sep 2011 07:18 PM PDT

Italian prosecutors asked an appeals court on Saturday to uphold the conviction of Amanda Knox for the murder of her British roommate and increase her sentence to life in prison.

The 24-year-old American sat motionless as Prosecutor Giancarlo Costagliola made his request. The prosecutor sought the same sentence for Knox’s co-defendant, former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, capping two days of closing arguments by the prosecutors.

Costagliola also requested six months of daytime solitary confinement for Knox and two months for Sollecito.A verdict is expected in early October. Next week a lawyer for the victim’s family and the defense teams will deliver their closing arguments.

Knox, of Seattle, Washington, and Sollecito were convicted by a lower court of sexually assaulting and murdering Meredith Kercher while they were all studying in Perugia in 2007. Knox was sentenced to 26 years, her co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito to 25 years.

They both deny wrongdoing and have appealed the 2009 verdict.

Menounos also broke the news to her parents on the show, telling them, “I have decided I am going to have kids… but, to make it realiztic – because I am not going to do it for a few years, we’re going to freeze our eggs so that we have no problems down the line.”
