This sunny and beautiful city is rich in culture and history. There is much to see including the Real Alcázar palace (seen in the Game of Thrones), the bull ring and the cathedral which is the final resting place of Christopher Columbus. It is also the gateway to other Andalucian highlights such as Cordoba.
Home to over 60 million olive trees, this Unesco World Heritage site is a food-lover's dream. Walk through the Old Town and spot women expertly folding traditional orecchiette — little ear-shaped pasta shells — by hand. Local restaurants serve this egg-free pasta with fresh cima di rapa (leafy turnip tops) and delicious meat ragu.
The spectacular coastline and delightfully scattered islands of Croatia will enchant. Split, the nation's second city, was chosen by the Roman emperor Diocletian for his palace (a Unesco World Heritage site). The atmospheric old town is built amongst its remarkable remains. From here, island-hop your way to Dubrovnik, arguably the finest walled city on the Adriatic.
For the coolest crowds and cocktail bars in Porto, head to the Unesco World Heritage site of Ribeira. Explore the maze of narrow alleyways, cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses, before stopping off for a glass of Port or 'Super Bock' — the local beer.
The Kremlin, the Bolshoi ballet, the Pushkin State Museum… Moscow's classic sites thrill culture hungry visitors. But between its gleaming domed cathedrals, a new generation of creative Muscovites are making their mark with vintage shops, design institutes and hidden bars. Escape the summer crowds in leafy Gorky Park, where outdoor yoga classes and ping-pong tables entertain hip young things.
Locals will tell you that the best Sicilian sites aren't signposted — that's certainly true of the hike down Europe's deepest gorge, Laghetti de Cavagrande del Cassibile in Syracuse, where a perfect turquoise lagoon lures in those who are willing to work up a sweat. Prefer a natural high? Journey further north and scale imposing Mount Etna's curious lunar landscape.
The vibrant nightlife of Santo Domingo city and the idyllic beaches of Punta Cana are just the start of your adventure. Go whale watching in Samana Bay, or try snorkelling in the deserted lagoons of Saona and Cayo Paraiso. Jarabacoa is the home of all things extreme, where thrill-seekers can indulge in canyoning, white water rafting and paragliding.
There's more to Austin than the SXSW festival — if you know where to look. Head to the Tiniest Bar in Texas or the Broken Spoke dancehall, two of the city's enduring hole-in-the-wall venues, or join revellers celebrating the one-day festival, Eeyore's Birthday Party. To experience the city's famous food trucks, visit the Midway Food Park just off Highway 360 for tacos, lobster rolls and cheesecake.
Embrace the exciting chaos of this South American metropolis. Visit the jazz bars, browse the glamorous shops on Rua Oscar Freire, and sample some of the darkest, most delicious coffee in the world. To escape the concrete, head south to Florianopolis — a well-kept Brazilian secret with great surfing beaches and an authentic local party scene.
After a few days in buzzing Buenos Aires, journeying through this spectacular expanse of land — which covers both Chile and Argentina — will be a wild change of scenery. One of the world's least populated regions, the eerily beautiful and arid landscape captivates intrepid adventurers with its windswept plateaus, ancient petrified forests, unexpected Welsh settlements, wonderful wildlife and brilliantly blue glaciers.
Stroll through the heart of Mexico City and you'll come across the 'wall of skulls' – part of the 14th century Aztec Templo Mayor. And just a 50 minute drive away, step back to 100 AD and in the Avenue of the Dead you'll find the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon, part of the ancient civilisation of Teotihuacan.
A city hewn into red-rose rock by Nabataeans, a crusader fort perched on a rocky mountain overlooking Shoubak, a sea where Herod the Great and Cleopatra bathed, Roman amphitheatres, and nature reserves that provide a haven for plants, birds, mammals and marine life – Jordan opens up a world of discovery.
A country of imperial cities that ring with the cries of muezzin and souk stall-holders. But head to the mountains, covered in walnut blossom in spring, and trek trails alive with birdsong. Essaouira, a charming laid back coastal town that offers a break from the hubbub of Marrakech. The Medina of Essaouira is a UNESCO World Heritage listed city, with quite impressive ramparts, built on the cliffs.
Combine sea and desert activities for the perfect Oman adventure. Dive or snorkel the aquamarine waters, then relax under a date palm. Explore Oman's ancient desert forts and hike to lush oases. Climb Jebel Shams, Oman's highest mountain. No trip to Oman would be complete without visiting Muscat's mosques, museums and markets.
A vibrant mish-mash of neon lights, K-Pop and temples, Seoul has plenty of unusual cultural delights — including adventurous cuisine. Try hongeo, a notoriously pungent fermented skate dish, or follow the local hipsters to Kyungnidan for craft beer and build-your-own stir-fry. Truly fearless foodies should head to Noryangjin seafood market for sannakji — octopus that's so fresh that it's still wriggling on your plate.
If giant pandas in their natural habitat get your heart racing, visit Bifengxia Panda Reserve about 1½ hours from Chengdu. Less crowded than the Chengdu Research Base, you can wander through this verdant gorge with its cascading waterfalls, watching pandas eat, play and looking after their young.
Once a hub for powerful and wealthy dynasties, this historic city isn't short of grand temples, mosques and palaces. But to get off the tourist track, drive to the hilltop city of Bidar, which is home to impressive ruins and a colossal fort. Back in the city, tuck into a fiery biryani and sip Irani chai to the sound of the muezzin's call.
Steeped in spirituality, Chennai offers you the Temple of Annamalaiyar with its 1,000 pillared hall, the serene Cholmandal Artists' Village where you're welcomed into the studios, and a tempting choice of restaurants where you'll enjoy richly flavoured southern dishes such as sambar, rasam or kootu.
For a speedy ride from Tokyo to the charming old town of Kanazawa, take the 160mph Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train. For a more leisurely journey to "little Kyoto", try the Kyushu Seven Stars sleeper train. Designed to rival the luxury of Europe's Orient Express and the Ghan in Australia, relax in exquisitely designed surroundings as you pass through rice paddy fields and Japan's volcanic landscapes.

- Office of Health and IT
- Office of Transportation Machinery
Information By Sector
- Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Export Initiative
- Civil Nuclear Trade Initiative
- Environmental Technologies Export Initiative
Office of Energy and Environmental Industries (OEEI)
Who We Are:
The Office of Energy and Environmental Industries (OEEI) advances the competitiveness of U.S. industries by leveraging in-depth sector expertise to identify their most pressing trade challenges and top opportunities and coordinating public-private sector responses. Our responses include supporting immediate export opportunities, setting up broader market development efforts to create demand for U.S. exports and developing whole-of-government initiatives to address systemic constraints on U.S. export competitiveness. Primary areas of coverage include the goods and services associated with the following sectors: renewable energy (biofuel, biomass, geothermal, hydro, solar, wind), civil nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, gas, coal), smart grid, transmission and distribution, pollution prevention, air pollution control, water and waste.
What We Do For You:
To carry out this work, we undertake industry analysis, liaise with industry and spearhead both formal industry advisory committees and Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee Working Groups. We prioritize our areas of focus through Top Prospects Analyses, sector-specific, evidence-based analyses that reveal the markets that hold the greatest potential return on investment for U.S. Government export promotion resources. For the first time we are producing, and will soon release public versions of these analyses. OEEI has also launched major whole-of-government export initiatives focused on the civil nuclear, renewable energy and energy efficiency and environmental technologies sectors.
Advisory Committees
OEEI relies strongly on the input of industry advisory committees to guide the formulation of policies and programs to enhance the international competitiveness of U.S. companies. Committee members are senior executives representing a broad cross-section of the respective industry, and are selected to serve two-year terms. These committees, which fall under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, are charged with providing consensus industry advice to the Secretary of Commerce on ways to enhance U.S. industry competitiveness. OEEI maintains four industry advisory committees:
- Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee (CINTAC). Established by Commerce in 2010.
- Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee (RE&EEAC). Established by Commerce in 2010.
- Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee (ETTAC). Established by Congress in 1994 under the Jobs Through Trade Expansion Act.
- Energy and Energy Services Industry Trade Advisory Committee 6 (ITAC-6). Established in 2001.
Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC) Working Groups
OEEI manages the following three TPCC committees and one interagency taskforce to enhance collaboration on issues of industry competitiveness across the interagency framework and develop whole-of-government export promotion strategies:
- Civil Nuclear TPCC Working Group
- Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency TPCC Working Group
- Environmental Trade TPCC Working Group (ETWG)
- Federal Smart Grid Task Force
Major Export Promotion Initiatives
OEEI manages three sector specific initiatives designed to bring target industries into a highly collaborative relationship with the Department in the design and implementation of strategies that will enhance the industry's global competitiveness. These initiatives typically produce recommendations for action by the Department or the interagency team.Civil Nuclear Trade Initiative (CNTI). The CNTI is designed to strengthen the global competitiveness of the U.S. nuclear industry as it endeavors to rebuild its manufacturing base by capturing opportunities abroad. The CNTI identifies the industry's most pressing trade challenges and most promising commercial opportunities and coordinates public and private sector efforts to address these issues. The CNTI involves four areas of work:
- An interagency working group (Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee Civil Nuclear Trade Working Group) to coordinate USG policy and activities affecting civil nuclear trade;
- A Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee that provides the Secretary of Commerce with consensus industry advice on issues affecting the industry's competitiveness;
- Trade policy and promotion activities that include an annual event at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), trade missions to best prospect markets, official USG trade advocacy, and bilateral declarations on nuclear commercial cooperation; and
- Development of stakeholder resources (e.g. a web portal, on-line export controls guide (trade.gov/civilnuclear), among others).
Environmental Technologies Export Initiative. In May 2012, then Commerce Secretary Bryson and EPA Administrator Jackson announced the creation of the U.S. Environmental Export Initiative, developed by OEEI. This Initiative seeks to foster greater interagency collaboration in U.S. government trade and international environmental activities to support the increased worldwide deployment of environmental solutions. It constitutes a significant shift toward merging export promotion, job creation and global environmental stewardship by leveraging Commerce's trade expertise and EPA's regulatory preeminence. The Initiative aims to increase exports by identifying key market opportunities and environmental priorities, providing U.S. environmental firms with additional tools, and coordinating public-private sector responses to enable U.S. firms to compete abroad successfully. The Environmental Technologies Export Initiative contains three main areas of work:
- U.S. Environmental Solutions Exporter Portal: The Portal provides a central repository for this type of information and fosters increased collaboration between U.S. government agencies to better support increased U.S. environmental exports.
- U.S. Environmental Solutions Toolkit: The Toolkit represents another key Environmental Export Initiative deliverable, developed by the ETWG for use by foreign environmental end-users and regulators, U.S. government officials, and other stakeholders who need to quickly identify U.S. environmental solutions providers relevant to key environmental issues. The Toolkit outlines U.S. approaches to addressing various environmental concerns and lists U.S. companies that have self-identified as capable of providing technologies necessary to implement those approaches. The Toolkit will be useful in better integrating U.S. companies into various bi- and multi-lateral environmental technical assistance projects, trade promotion events, and environmental policy exchanges. The final version of the Toolkit will be available via the U.S. Environmental Solutions Exporter Portal and on mobile platforms by the end of April 2013.
- Environmental Export Market Plans: The group is currently finalizing Export Market Plans (which are congressionally mandated) for the five key foreign environmental markets it identified through close consultation with the U.S. environmental industry and a rigorous examination of environmental trade flows and foreign environmental policy developments; the markets are Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia. Each market plan outlines demand for specific air pollution control, water/waste water treatment, and waste management technologies and ongoing U.S. government activities to support U.S. companies interested in pursuing those opportunities. These plans will be completed by April 2013.
Web Portals
To facilitate U.S. exporters' navigating the many U.S. Government trade programs and activities, OEEI has also developed three interagency web portals to support our major export promotion initiatives:
- Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Exporter Portal
- Environmental Solutions Exporter Portal
- Civil Nuclear Exporter Portal
The International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, manages this global trade site to provide access to ITA information on promoting trade and investment, strengthening the competitiveness of U.S. industry, and ensuring fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements.

Abducted herself in 1991 at age 11 and held captive for 18 years, Dugard is cautioning the public to give these women time and space to begin healing. At the same time, she adds, the women's survival shows the power of human resolve.
"These individuals need the opportunity to heal and connect back into the world. This isn't who they are. It is only what happened to them," Dugard tells PEOPLE in a statement.
She adds: "The human spirit is incredibly resilient. More then ever this reaffirms we should never give up hope."
The three women discovered Monday in a house near downtown Cleveland, identified as Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, had been missing for a decade.
Authorities are only just beginning to piece together what happened to them, but Berry apparently gave birth to a child, now 6, during that time – much like Dugard, who had two daughters while being held captive by Phillip and Nancy Garrido.

BELLEVILLE — A southwestern Illinois man is jailed on $2 million bond after being accused in the shooting death of an acquaintance who investigators believe wasn't the intended target.
Prosecutors in St. Clair County charged 36-year-old Dashon Hinkle of Belleville with first-degree murder in the Saturday night killing of John Fath Sr.
Authorities say the 53-year-old was shot in the leg as he opened the front door of his home. He died later at a hospital.
Belleville police Lt. Matt Eiskant tells the Belleville News-Democrat that Fath wasn't the intended target. They say Hinkle went to the home to pay a visit to Fath's son, who has a lengthy criminal record.

Following Newtown shooting, police officers will be at all 47 Grand Prairie schools starting in January
A week after the mass shooting in a Newtown, Conn. school, the Grand Prairie Police Department has announced that it will have officers present at all of Grand Prairie's 47 schools beginning next month.
Middle and high schools in Grand Prairie are already staffed with police, but "in an effort to better protect our youngest, most defenseless children in our elementary schools," officers will have posts at those campuses, too, a press release said.
Here are how the changes will work at the start of the new year, according to the police statement:
• Police will be meeting with all school districts in the city to review security plans and make any needed additional recommendations.
• Dayshift patrol officers will meet with the administrators of each elementary school in their respective patrol beats to establish a good working relationship with the elementary school administrators.
• Officers will conduct a walk-through of each elementary school in their patrol beats in order to become familiar with the school layout to more quickly and effectively respond in an emergency.
• Officers will stop by each elementary school in their respective patrol beats at least one time during each school day.
• Officers already assigned to middle and high schools, will also check their feeder elementary schools at least once each school day.

*UPDATE*I was also told that we'll see at least two compact cine lenses, and possibly a third. No focal lengths were mentioned.
More hints?
Source: PhotoLifeToys
CR's TakeThere will be no DSLR announcement on November 3, 2011. This is a video only announcement. However, there could be "EF" and "EOS" branding involved.
I was told Vincent Laforet has been shooting promo material with the new camera in the Los Angeles area. However, he was NOT shooting with a DSLR.
What does "Image quality: Alexa good" means?
Sorry for the dumb question, but what "4k capture, 2k record" mean?
Probably another dumb question - what's the point of an EF mount for a $10,000+ video camera ?It seems to me that EF lenses are not a big attraction to someone who can spend that much money on video equipment.
Interesting to see a small visionary American company taking on Canon on the very same day! http://www.red.com/Feeling more than very let down by Canon over the not for me new 1D line I rather hope they trump their Oriental competitors.
How many super-zooms (e.g 800mm) are there for PL mount?

Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
- Wells throws Bourn a fastball over the plate for a strike to start the game. A beautiful, mild day at Wrigley. Eventually flies out, directly to Soriano
- Keppinger rolls out ot Theriot.
- Strike one called to Tejada, now 1-2. A bouncer out to Baker for a very easy 1st inning, woo.
- 0-2 to Johnson. Fouls off some pitches, and then singles into right-center.
- Theriot hooks one down the left field line, past the bullpen. Johnson is flying around the bases, but holds at third as the ball didn't make it all the way to the left field corner. Runners at 2 and 3.
- Lee Flies to medium-depth right field, Johnson comes home. Throw is up the third base line a bit, by Pence, runner safe. Theriot to third. 1-0 Cubs
- and Ramirez singles throught he left-side hole, scoring Theriot. 2-0 Cubs
- Bradley walks on five pitches.
- Soriano skies a fly ball to left, slowly drifting over Carlos Lee's head and into maybe the third row up from the left field well. A fastball right down the middle, and a towering, towering fly ball. Bob says Hampton kew "nothing good was going to come of it" when he threw it. Looks like Bob's getting hip to the TCR lingo. 5-0 Cubs
- Baker walks. Pitching coach to the mound.
- Len tells us this is Hill's 19th straight start as catcher. Last Cub to do that, Damon Berryhill in 1989, who went to 25.
- Hampton spikes a slider into the dirt, getting by Rodriguez. Baker to second. Hampton is wild both in andout of the zone.
- Hill singles back up the middle, Bourn's throw to the plate gets cut off, and Baker scores without a play. Sharply hit back at Hampton. 6-0 Cubs
- Wells bunts back to Hampton, advancing Hill to second. Two outs this inning, each were on sacrifices.
- Johnson skies one to shallow center, Bourn battles the sun, catches it to end the inning.
- Wells' first pitch after a six run inning is a strike. Good boy.
- Moises Alou is watching the game from the stands.
- Transmission passes on the chance to make any obvious Alou joke.
- Theriot snags a ball hit up the middle, but the throw to first pulls Derrek Lee wide of the bag, unable to tag Carlos Lee as he lumbers by. Lee sort of ducks around the tag, touching the base barely with his hand as he rolls by. Error on Theriot
- Immediately followed by a routine 4-6-3 DP on what I think was a slider to Blum.
- Rodriguez rolls out to Baker.
- Theriot and Lee with two routine flies to Pence.
- The red-hot Aramis Ramirez lines a home run over the left-field well, and on to Waveland. Impressive shot, 7-0 Cubs
- Bradley grounds to Keppinger at third.
- Matsui singles into right.
- Down seven, Hampton is swinging away.
- Hampton bounces to Ramirez, force at second, but beats the throw to first.
- Bourn shatters his bat, bouncing it back to Wells. He throws to Theriot coming across the bag at second, forcing Hampton, but the ball just sort of pops out of Theriot's hand as he transfers it to make the throw to first. Would have been an easy double play.
- Not much harm done, Keppinger promplty bounces back to Wells.
- Soriano looks at a called breaking ball strike three, over the inside corner.
- Baker pops out to Matsui, again having to battle the sun
- and Hill flies to center.
- Fukudome replaces Johnson in center. No word yet on why. Johnson fouled a ball off his foot in his second AB of the 1st inning, but no reason to believe that's the cause of the change
- Tejada singles into left.
- Lee lines right to Bradley, easy play
- Blum grounds to second base, foring Tejada. Can't get the double play
- Pence up. The HD Shot Of The Day is of Pence's spindly legs. BJB explains that Pence weighs 215 pounds, 210 of it above the knees. In a Western, he says, they'd round up a posse to find the rustler who swiped Pence's legs. Precious.
- Legless Hunter Pence fouls out to Lee.
- Wells bounces out to Tejada, who gobbles up a big hop and throws him out.
- Fukudome hits a sharp liner to right, but directly at Pence.
- Theriot walks.
- Full count to LEe, who dumps one just fair downt he right field line, scoring Theriot. Double for Lee 8-0 Cubs
- Hampton walks Ramireaz to get to Bradley. In an 8-0 game. With two outs. This might not end well for Hampton. Bradley takes a big swing and miss at the first pitch, a changeup.
- Next pitch, Bradley lines a single into right. Oddly, Lee gets sent, though the ball was hit sharply right at Pence, and Lee wasn't even at third when Pence gets to it. But Geoff Blum cuts off the throw, and Lee scores uncontested. 9-0 Cubs, runners at 1st and 2nd.
- Soriano pops into shallow left, Carlos Lee gets it.
- Rodriguez grounds to Theriot
- Matsui singles into left-center
- Matt Kata bats for Hampton, mercifully ending his day.
- Kata bounces to Lee, who turns a nice 3-6-3.
- Bud Norris comes in to mop up.
- Baker with a modest popup to Matsui.
- Hill K's looking, but then Wells walks.
- Fukudome also K's looking. Decent debut inning, for Bud Norris.
- Leadoff walk to Bourn.
- full count to Keppinger, he chopps one to Therior's right, starts a nicely-turned 6-4-3, the third double play of the game.
- Theriot flies to center, and Lee K's looking.
- Ramirez lines out right to Tejada. Norris helping speed this game along.
- Lee flies out to right
- Blum K's on a checked swing slider low and inside. It sure didn't look like a swing to me, and the home plate umpire didn't ask for any help, but it goes down as Wells' first K of the day.
- Wells doesn't get the call on a ball on the outside corner, full count. Next pitch, and Pence dumps a single into right field.
- I-Rod flies out to Fukudome
- Somebody named Terrence Howard sings the stretch. He has a very pronounced vibratto. But basically well done: kept something resembling a tempo, was enthusiastic, knew all the words, and wasn't too far off key.
- Bradley slices a single the other way into left-center. Bourn over-runs it, and Bradley takes second as the ball kicks off of Bourn's glove.
- Wild pitch advances him to third.
- Fox hits for Soriano. A fastball sails behind Fox, at the letters. Bradley holds at third as the ball ricochettes right back toward the mound.
- Howard seems to be a baseball fan, a sincere earnest enthusiasm. Tolerable interview, for a random actor's stop-in.
- Fox flies to Pence, sacrifice fly scores Bradley 10-0 Cubs
- Baker drives one into the left field well, disappearing as it landsin the ivy at the base of the well. Lee stares at it for awhile, then holds up his hands. Ground-rule double. Lee also didn't play the ball too well, as it basically landed a foot or two away from where he was at the wall.
- Hill singles through the right-side hole, Quade holds Baker at third, broadcasters think it's out of "Respect" for the blowout circumstances.
- Wells hits for himself, pops to Blum at first.
- Fukudome strikes out spinning.
- Er, I mean, swinging.
- No, spinning.
- Er, I mean, swinging.
- Hoffpauir in for Lee, and Blanco for Theriot
- Matsui singles, and Jason Michaels hits for Norris.
- Michaels rolls one to Baker, who flips to Blanco, who grabs it bare-handed coming across second, and fires to first. It's a bit low, and Hoffpauir can't hang on, probably ought to have. Just gets the force.
- Now Bourn hits one to Wells, who can't quite hang on. Would have been yet another DP chance. Instead, runners at 1 and 2.
- Keppinger flies to Fukudome in shallow center.
- Tejada bounces to Theriot, 6-4 force.
- Doug Brocail relieves Bud Norris. Carlos Lee has come in to play first. You'd think he'd have some experience there, but it's only a handful of games in his career. Michaels stays in to play left.
- And this is the icing on the cake. A first-pitch fastball down the middle, and Blanco lines one right down the right-field line for his first career home run. 11-0 Cubs.
- Now Hoffpauir pulls one down the line, and Pence makes a pretty lame effort to reach down for it, as it scoots under his glove to the wall. Hoffpauir gets his first career triple. This is very amusing.
- Fontenot hits for Ramirez. Walks on four pitches. Brocail's got nothing.
- WGN finds a great shot of four young women all sitting in a row, wearing blue Cubs jerseys, with almost identical long, straight brown hair, all with blank, expressionless faces.
- Bradley breaks his bat on a liner to first, Lee makes a surprisingly decent leaping catch.
- Fox dumps one into center, Hoffpauir scores, 12-0 Cubs.
- Baker flies to Pence, Hill rolls to Matsui, and Brocail gets out of the inning. Finally.
- Baker to third, Fontenot to second, Mitch Atkins makes his debut. First pitch is a foul ball to Carlos Lee. Second pitch is a grounder to Baker, who misses the backhand for an error.
- Breaking ball, strike one to Blum. Eventually pops up directly behind home plate, where Hill catches it for Atkins' first major league out.
- Fittingly, the game ends with a GIDP as Pence rolls to Theriot, who turns the 6-3.

Reed Johnson has a fracture in his foot, out at least a month
(I'm sure more to come...but this means we get to see more of Sam Fuld!)
found a link from Tribune.com and Sullivan:
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
1.) Get and Stay Healthy
2.) Score more runs
some things are easy to say and hard to do but the way the Iowa Cubs are performing at the mlb level, I'll go with accepting #2 if the powers that be let us have only one of these two options.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
I wonder if Milton Bradley will get some starts in center, maybe with Harden pitching against a lefty.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
I guess Freel is gone. He's a little reminiscent of Johnson.
Fuld, Camp and Adduci are lefty hitters (although I wasn't sure of the latter two till I just checked).
The minor leaguers most like Johnson are Ty Wright and Brandon Guyer. Both have played some center and I'm sure are more adept than Bradley. Wright is hitting a workmanlike .297 at Tennessee. Guyer has more pizzazz and is tearing it up at Daytona but he stumbled at Tennessee earlier in the season. No one gets called up from Daytona. It's a missed opportunity for Guyer.
Taguchi played center in 63 games in '07, 41 as a starter.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
If they want a right handed hitter, So Taguchi?
You know who would have fit the bill - Brian Anderson.
With the Phils getting Cliff Lee, and already having Hamels, I assume those are two of their four for the post season. Should the Cubs face them in October, would their lineup suddenly become too left handed?

Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
The Pirates got Tim Alderson, who was ranked as the #4 prospect in the SF organization. Just shocking that out of all the teams Pittsburgh has traded with in the past year or so they probably got their most advantageous trade with Sabean/SF.
Former Bears "wide receiver" Bobby Wade talked to Urlacher this summer and Urlacher told Wade that he thought "Cutler is a pussy."
Now there are reports that Urlacher and Cutler had a "confrontation" off the field at OTA's.

Proceed with talk of who the Cubs need to get for RH bat to play outfield.
Any ideas?
Re: CHICAGO BEARS THREAD HIJACK
If the Cubs suck, then Bears talk is ok. If the Blackhawks are doing anything above a pulse, it's ok to talk about them. I'm fine with that as new TCR policy.

Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Speaking of which, Vitters has missed the last two Daytona games.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Corey Patterson released by Nats (Rotoworld).
Should the Cubs be in on Carl Crawford?
Well, duh.
Crawford is signed at $8.25 million this year, with a $10 million club option for next year.
Egos aside, Fukudome and Bradley would be one of the all-time great MLB offensive platoons.
The Rays entering tonight are 6.5 out of first and 4 back in the Wild Card race, even trailing the Rangers. Despite their run differential, considering their market size, they would have to be willing to at least hear what teams would give for Crawford.
Since they have Longoria, they might not even have interest in Vitters. I'd start the conversation with a package including Fuld, Samardzija, Hart and Jackson, then maybe include another 1-2 young arms if need be.
The Cubs may not have a ton of superstar prospects, but they do have an abundance of three-star prospects, especially young pitchers. Maybe a package of 5 of those guys can get us one of the best left-handed-hitting center fielders in baseball.
Go for it all, 2009 edition!
Re: Should the Cubs be in on Carl Crawford?
I've been pining for Crawford for the last 5 years or so, but I think that ship has sailed. The Rays don't seem like willing trade partners when it comes to any of their good, young players. Also, I know he seems like he should be play CF, but he almost exclusively plays left. If he's somehow not a good CFer, our outfield would be brutally bad.
One other thing - I'm 99% sure Samardzija has a NTC.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Talk about small ball! First three batters from Boise's game tonight:
Boise Bottom 1st
* Hak-Ju Lee singles on a bunt ground ball to pitcher Julio Ramos.
* Logan Watkins singles on a bunt ground ball to second baseman Conner Crumbliss. Hak-Ju Lee to 2nd.
* Brett Jackson singles on a bunt ground ball to first baseman Anthony Aliotti. Hak-Ju Lee to 3rd. Logan Watkins to 2nd.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
haha. awesome.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
And in typical Cubbery, a groundout DP and fly out result in only one run scored.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Looking at the Iowa stats -- put Ascanio or Hart in CF. Both hitting over .350 for Iowa.
If you don't bring up So Taguchi now, why is he in the organization? Isn't this exactly why they signed him?
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Regarding Reed Johnson's injury...
Although it might not make much difference in terms of time to recover (they said up front it would be 4 weeks, meaning he's out until September), it really bugs me that the baseball reporters can't ask what bone was broken in Reed Johnson's foot. I read all 3 biggies (Sullivan, Wittenmeyer and Miles) and none of them said anything more than this:
"Johnson suffered a fracture at the top of his left foot"
There are 11 bones in the foot not counting toes (phalanges). If it's a metatarsal it probably doesn't make much difference in terms of time to heal but if he broke a bone called the navicular it could be much longer than 4 weeks. Dempster broke a phalanx (big toe) and it took 2 weeks so I assume it's not that...they would have said he broke a toe, not his foot if that were the case.
In these times when medical information is being questioned for more specific information, you would think they could ask what bone was broken. It leads to less unnecessary speculation (or at least more specific speculation).
A navicular fracture was what Frank Thomas as well as Michael Jordan had early in his career and currently has led to big problems with Yao Ming.
I found this link with some info on why Navicular fractures are different but it does mention one thing they said about RJ...it's located at the top of the foot:
As early as 2002, the American Academy of Family Physicians reported a rise in tarsal navicular bone fractures in active people. It is most common in athletes who indulge in running sports, and is very difficult to spot, which causes further complications as the condition worsens. The bone is located at the top of the foot.
The first symptom is usually pain in the midfoot area, gradually spreading throughout the rest of the foot. Regular x-rays don't usually pick up the damage right away, so doctors are often led in another direction in trying to diagnose the source of the trouble. Slight injuries are often treated with six to eight weeks of immobilization in a cast. Worse cases like Yao's often necessitate surgery.
here's a link to an illustration of where the navicular is.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
The throwback video is glorious. Thank you TCR.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
I can't tell you how many times I have thought about that video clip, which is one of the most vivid memories of TV when I was really little. This clip, which, I believe, is actually from "The Electric Company", not Sesame Street, and the Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a Bill" song.
Thanks for finding that, Trans! When I have tried to describe that video to my wife in the past, she always looked at me like I was crazy. She obviously just didn't see it, which is almost inconceivable to me.
(You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.)
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
My Seasame Street days were in the mid-80s...and that pinball clip was on. Probably came from something else, but it was on Seasame Street. It is also very memorable for me as well. To annoy my brothers now as an adult I would do the do-do-do-dos in the background and get the song stuck in their heads all day.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
The clip is definitely original to Sesame Street circa 1970. I watched it in college for the trippy Yellow Submarine animation and the music--odd meter, Coltrane-ish soprano saxophone. Then I watched it with my kids in the 80s. All this stuff is on YouTube: The lost kid and the yo-yo man, Stevie Wonder doing Superstition, the boogie-woogie sheep, Put Down the Duckie, you name it.
The Schoolhouse Rock songs are all there, too. I missed these the first time--too old to have seen these in school, my kids too young. I discovered SR when I checked out "I'm Just a Bill" for a class I teach. [Yes, I get to watch YouTube videos and call it work.] Also very hip music: Jack Sheldon in "Bill" and "Conjunction Junction," Blossom Dearie in "Figure Eight."

I am pleased with the video clip added to this top of this recap.
Trans...wonderful video, kind of reminds me of my Zap comics reading days....and it's really helping me with my time telling skills.

First they sweep us in the NLDS and now with the best record in baseball they lose 3 in a row to our heated rivals? Fucking A.

Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Wittenmyer says the Cubs want a left-handed hitter who can play right field and have kicked the tires on Jeremy Hermida and Mark Teahan.
He also mentions the team is "thought to have" $2 to $3 million available.
LHRP is still the other target.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
Hendry has been looking at Teahan for a few years now and it seems like he always eventually picks up his "pet" guys. I woudn't be surprised at that move at all.
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0
I always wondered what kind of player Teahan would be on a good team.

""If you're hot and hit a leadoff homer, it's only one run," he said. "But being hot like now ... first at-bat, first pitch, I hit a three-run homer.
"I'm very comfortable. I don't have pressure to get on base. Just see the ball and hit it. I like to score a lot of runs, but now I can get a lot of RBIs.""
Re: Game 99 Recap: Cubs 12, Astros 0

Recent comments
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.

"For the full 13 years I was there, I never figured out who supported me on that team," Fedorov told hoticemag.com.

If fact, he thinks the same applied to the whole Russian Five. And Russian players in general. So that leaves Anna Kournikova who really got the appreciation she deserved.
"I think we could have accomplished even more if it hadn't been for the jealousy," Fedorov said of the Russian Five.
Uh, what jealousy?
"On our own team!" Fedorov said. "We were playing great, but they were constantly holding us back by the trunks. They wouldn't let us pull the trigger. Then, they totally broke up our five. ...

The act of stealing money from your parents, usually done by teenagers ranging from the age of 13 to 18. Stealing from your mom's purse and your dad's wallet is an art that needs to be perfected. To snag efficiently, or must take no more than $20 at a time in order to not make the loss seem suspicious. However, efficient snagging quickly adds up.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said from the site of a flood-ravaged oil and gas operation near Milliken today that he is surprised a storm event of such historic proportions last week did not do more damage.
"The ultimate goal is zero," Hickenlooper said of the oil spills that have been reported to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission as floodwaters recede.
At last count, the COGCC reported 25,000 gallons of oil spilled due to the flood, or the equivalent of two large oil storage tanks. Two Anadarko Petroleum Corp. well sites in Weld County — one near Firestone and one near Milliken — accounted for 19,000 gallons of the spilled oil.
Hickenlooper and Matt Lepore, director of the COGCC, said as they toured two Anadarko sites — including the one near Milliken that accounted for 5,000 gallons of spilled oil — that the consequences could have been much worse if oil and gas companies did not use the proper precautions.
The COGCC estimates 1,500 wells in the Denver-Julesburg Basin remain shut in. Anadarko has 700 wells shut in, and 210 of the company's tank batteries have been shut off — some of those as an extra precaution, said Korby Bracken, director of environmental health and safety for Anadarko.
Tank batteries are storage tanks. They are so far the only equipment Anadarko officials have found damaged by the flood, and they are responsible for the reported spills.
At the second site Hickenlooper visited, south of Milliken, damage to the tank batteries was what caused an oil spill of about 120 barrels, or 5,000 gallons.
The tanks were lifted up and beat around by the water, Lepore explained. Eventually, too much stress was likely put on a connecting valve, which caused a leak.
The good news, he said, is the tanks were chained in place, so they weren't swept up by the water. Metal berms around the tanks keep debris out and water from coming in, and fences around separators and wellheads were similarly effective barriers.
Bracken said Anadarko has surveyed about 75 percent of its production facilities, and has so far not lost any equipment, thanks to the chains keeping them in place and other practices.
The sight of fences lined with tree debris, tires and storage tanks knocked on their sides shows the strength of the storm, Hickenlooper said, and gives credence to the fact that Anadarko's safeguards were effective, to some degree.
In a perfect world, he said, there would have been no spills, but Hickenlooper said the issues Anadarko had were comparable to those that arose with several of the state's wastewater plants, some of which discharged sewage directly into the river. When infrastructure is built in a floodplain, it will be damaged in a flood, Hickenlooper said.
Lepore added that contaminants in the water aren't just thanks to oil and gas, but a number of operations affected in the flood. He said it simply isn't a good idea for anyone to be exposed to the water right now, thanks to all of those contributors.

Ten years after shocking the world with the announcement that he has Parkinson's, Michael J. Fox is aggressively fighting the disease – and says he still sees a bright future ahead.
"Based on how I feel now," the star tells PEOPLE in its new issue, "I'll be okay for at least 10 more years."
Since leaving Spin City in 2000 – two years after revealing his Parkinson's diagnosis on the cover of PEOPLE magazine – Fox, 47, has been focused on raising his four kids with wife Tracy Pollan, 48, and helping The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research pour $140 million into fighting the disease.
Fox has found a successful combination of medications to keep his symptoms under control. But, he says, the progression of the disease is unavoidable, and "at some point every day" he enters a state of what doctors call "bradykinesia" – in which his arms hang heavy at his side.
But the actor tells PEOPLE he doesn't want anyone feeling sorry for him. In fact, Fox says, having Parkinson's "is part of an amazing life." And it's not "an otherwise amazing life," he clarifies. "It's part of what makes my life amazing."
For more on Fox and his brave battle, pick up PEOPLE, on newsstands Wednesday.

Details have emerged from a Berkeley County child abduction case after a Goose Creek Police Department incident report and several supplemental reports were released.
Two Florida women were arrested and charged after unlawfully removing a 4-year-old girl from Westview Primary School on May 2.
The child's mother, Neely Pesognelli Blanchard, 26, and Ferdauss Rahmatullah, 25, were involved in the abduction. They drove away with the child in a car that morning and about 30 minutes later the South Carolina Highway Patrol detained them on I-26 westbound.
The child was returned safely and unharmed to her grandmother, who is her legal guardian.
When police arrived at the school at about 8:10 a.m. an assistant principal waved them down and said Blanchard had just taken her child and left in a dark-colored vehicle, according to the report.
Officers learned Rahmatullah entered the school at about 8 a.m., walked up to the sign-in desk and asked where the Head Start classrooms were. She was directed to the C hallway in the Kindergarten wing, according to the report.
Rahmatullah approached a teacher and asked for help, saying she was looking for a child that dropped her dress as she got out of the vehicle. She then spotted the child in this classroom and pointed her out. The teacher did not allow Rahmatullah to enter the classroom.
The teacher said she would give the dress to the child and Rahmatullah departed. When the teacher asked, the child said she did not recognize the dress.
The classroom door then swung open and Blanchard entered unannounced. The child yelled, "Mommy!" and ran to Blanchard, who handed the teacher several papers she said were court orders allowing her to have custody of her child, according to the report.
The teacher attempted to close the door to keep Blanchard from leaving, but Blanchard left the classroom with the child in her arms and refused to stop. The teacher tugged at Blanchard's sweatshirt hoodie in an attempt to stop her, according to the report.
"Don't touch me," Blanchard said.
The teacher told Blanchard she needed to check with the main office. Blanchard replied that she had a court order, police were outside and she could talk to them, according to the report.
The teacher did not see any police officers and alerted the main office as Blanchard ran out of the front door with the child in her arms. She and the child entered a black 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by Rahmatullah.
The teacher attempted to grab the child's arm as Blanchard attempted to shut the door. The car sped off before the door was shut. The door swung and hit the teacher in the left triceps and right hand, according to the report.
On Feb. 25 Blanchard had been placed on trespass notice from Westview Primary School after attempting to remove her child with a court order from 2011 stating she has custody, according to the report.
It was determined the school had a copy of the most recent court order, dated April 5, 2012, stating the grandmother is the sole guardian of the child.
Blanchard is charged with trespassing, disturbing school, custodial interference, conspiracy to commit custodial interference and unlawful possession of schedule four narcotics.
Rahmatullah is charged with trespassing, disturbing school, conspiracy to commit custodial interference and assault and battery first degree.
According to the Hill-Finklea Detention Center records department, both suspects were still incarcerated at press time.
A bond hearing was held for Blanchard but the judge did not set bond, which is expected to be set when she goes before circuit court, according to the records department.
For Rahmatullah, surety bonds were set at $50,000 for three of the charges and at $1,092 for the trespassing charge, according to records.
The narcotics charge against Blanchard is related to pills in her possession that require a prescription. Investigators believe she was in illegal possession of those pills.
The assault and battery charge is related to injuries a school employee received attempting to prevent the departure of the suspect vehicle. Those injuries were not life threatening.

In case anyone forgot the goal, it's inscribed on a glass plaque a few feet from the dressing room door as a reminder for every player heading toward the ice and anyone entering their locker area. It reads: "Starting today, the reason for the Buffalo Sabres' existence will be to win the Stanley Cup." — Terry Pegula, Feb. 22, 2011.
Certainly, you remember the words after Pegula purchased the franchise and established their tangible purpose. Nowhere does it say, "Missing the playoffs three times in five years is acceptable so long as you're a good guy." You're not going to find a sign that reads: "When in doubt, blame injuries."
The Stanley Cup is every team's goal, but it's more attainable when the owner removes all financial restrictions and tells his organization to win a championship. It calls for cold and calculating decisions to be made with Belichickian detachment and giving your team a chance by every means necessary.
Look at the Los Angeles Kings.
Last year, they had a good team that underachieved for various reasons for a good part of the season. They weren't playing to an accepted standard, so they fired a good coach and a respected man in Terry Murray. Darryl Sutter came aboard, maximized their talent and guided them to the Stanley Cup.
Last week, Lindy Ruff stumbled over softball questions that he normally would handle like belt-high fastballs. He was asked what his standards were for the Sabres. Rather than stand up and insist they make the playoffs, and put his own job on the line, he offered a vague and uninspiring response.
"The standard for us is the level we want to play at and holding each other accountable for it," Ruff said. "This is the level we want to play, this is the effort that we have to put into it, this is the discipline we need in the game. It comes from your peers. It's all around you, and that's the acceptable standard."
Ruff was reminded that accountability, effort and discipline have become buzzwords in recent years. Translation: shallow rhetoric. He was asked about the playoffs. "Oh, yeah, playoffs, for sure," he said. And he was asked about ramifications if the Sabres didn't reach them, widely viewed as the minimum standard.
"I don't even want to really go there," he said. "I know what you're talking about, but I really just want to focus on the positive."
Ruff has known me long enough to complete half of my questions before I'm finished asking them. I can do the same with many of his answers. Our unspoken familiarity allows us to understand one another through subtleties of our personalities, our job descriptions and the tone of our voices.
So, yes, without me bluntly asking the question, he knew I was talking precisely about him getting fired if the Sabres missed the postseason again.
Ruff has been here for nearly 16 years and has missed the postseason three times in five seasons, six times in 14 seasons. He has said numerous times, usually when explaining his decisions to change forward lines, that he's not one to bang his head against the wall when things aren't working. I completely agree with him.
But the same approach applies to him.
Last season, he used injuries as an excuse with uncharacteristic regularity. His message became contagious within the organization and spread to apologists in the community. Injuries were a factor, but to suggest they were the biggest reason the Sabres failed would have been closing your eyes to the obvious.
"It wasn't all about injuries," goaltender Ryan Miller said last week. "Definitely, a lot of us were not playing the best hockey we could play. I don't think we were as sharp as we could be. I don't think we were playing to our strengths until late in the season. We'll see what kind of team we are real quick."
Miller coming clean was one encouraging sign if the Sabres are going to turn things around. Another was hearing Drew Stafford speak of frustration that had boiled over after the Sabres cleaned out their lockers. Out of desperation, during meetings with Ruff and Darcy Regier, they presented their unfiltered opinions.
Stafford was part of a free-speech group that addressed problems that had festered all season. They threw everything on the table. Ruff and Regier did the same. The healthy conversations left everyone involved feeling better afterward. Stafford found the new rules of engagement "a breath of fresh air" and "rejuvenating."
It sounded liberating.
Frankly, it was about time.
"I'll put it this way: the communication level is the best it's been since I've been here," Stafford said. "What happens next, we'll see. But we're all on the same page with preparing what we need to do and raising the level of communication and trust in one another. There's really no elephant in the room anymore. There's progress."
Stafford wouldn't reveal details of the meetings, but it's safe to assume the elephant in the room was Ruff relentlessly riding his players. Derek Roy was an entirely different animal. He never was the most charming teammate, but he stood up and spoke for many when criticizing Ruff for how he handled his troops.
"We met with our leadership group, and we went through everything — the good, the bad and the ugly," Ruff said. "We tried to come up with a group solution. We took their input, and they took our input and tried to build for this year."
The most important aspect of the meetings wasn't reaching terms of endearment with Ruff and Regier but moving forward with them. Now, with the slate clean, consciences cleared, expectations clarified and Roy gone, it's time for the Sabres' new attitude to start producing before the good turns bad and bad turns ugly.
Let's face it, Ruff and his players need one another. They're running out of time. If anything, they're fortunate only Roy was sent packing after last season. Ruff and Regier have beaten incredible odds to keep their jobs this long. Both could have been canned numerous times over the years. If Ruff were running the show and adhered to the same approach he's had with coaching, he would have fired himself and Regier.
Instead, Regier winds up with a contract extension.
The Sabres aren't going to turn into a conference contender with a few meetings. They need improvement across the board. Regier made a few moves to stiffen their backbone and adjust their attitude. Steve Ott is a gamer who should help, but to say Regier upgraded the roster would be a stretch.
For the most part, especially after their answer to a lingering problem at center was re-signing Jochen Hecht, the Sabres look the same as they did at the end of last season. Ruff will need to alter his coaching style to keep the Sabres' collective attention. Several players acknowledged that a large percentage of his team tuned out Ruff last season.
At some point, it was bound to happen.
Looking for a prediction? Try seventh in the conference. That's assuming they have a strong start and don't get comfortable. Fifth is possible, but so is 10th.
It's time for the Sabres to give back a sliver of what they have received from their absurdly loyal fan base. Forget the money. The people here deserve a return on their emotional investment. Too often, they've hit the exits feeling as if they spent more time and energy than the team they support.
Only in Buffalo do 10,000 people attend an intrasquad scrimmage and thousands more watch routine practices. Only in Buffalo do a measly 12,000 tickets remain unsold for a season compromised by a third lockout in 18 years. Only in Buffalo do fans wait in long lines to buy jerseys for a team that missed the playoffs three times in five years.
Only in Buffalo can Regier and Ruff survive without a championship, a goal that has been etched into words for a team not always sure whether it's coming or going.

We are working hard for chemotherapy parity legislation around the country. So far this year we have seen legislation passed in Nebraska, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. While we are working on this state by state strategy, we are also looking towards a future win in Congress. This month, to build momentum for our upcoming lobby day in Washington, DC, we would like highlight stories of patients who have faced outrageous co-pays for their lifesaving medications. These are the folks we are fighting for with these critical pieces of legislation.
Here is Robert Adler's letter to his Congressman:
Dear Representative John Campbell,
A few years ago, I was required to take Revlimid, an oral chemotherapy medication, for my multiple myeloma. I took the medication for thirteen cycles, each consisting of three weeks. Fortunately, I was covered by insurance. Unfortunately, it only covered 50% of the medication cost. This meant that my out of pocket cost for each cycle was $3,200, or $41,600 for the total treatment.
Not believing that my portion of the medication could possibly be $3,200 per cycle, I contacted my insurance company. The lady I spoke to - a cancer survivor herself- verified the information and suggested that I talk to my doctor about having an intravenous chemotherapy treatment. I had already received that (Velcade), and it was for this reason that my oncologist decided on this current course of treatment. The lady I spoke to was correct in that it would have been far more financially advantageous to me had I had intravenous chemotherapy; even if it was not the proper treatment for my illness. The insurance would have picked up 100% of the cost after
I met my plan's annual out of pocket limit of $3,500.00. The oral medication was not subject to this limit.
What puzzled me was that although the IV option would have been more beneficial for me financially, it actually would have cost the insurance company more than if they had picked up the whole tab for my Revlimid. As incredible as it sounds, I checked my explanation of benefits' (EOB) from when I had received the intravenous chemotherapy and verified that the insurance company would indeed have spent less money if they had paid 100% of the cost of the oral medication. As a result, the lady's suggestion that I talk to my oncologist to see if there was an IV option, while good financial advice for me, would actually have cost her employer more money!
Representative Campbell, I was lucky to have a support network that enabled me to take the medication despite its outrageous cost. Sadly, this is not the case for most Californians. I urge you to take a minute and consider how much a person must earn just to be able to cover $41,600 for oral medications in after tax dollars. Add to that the other medical costs that they would be likely to encounter (insurance, doctors, lab tests, etc.), and all their living expenses. It is not very hard to see that they would need a six-figure income. Seeing that the median household income in California from 2006-2010 was $60,883, you can see that most people would not be able to afford the medication that has saved my life. Does it make any sense that people should die because their insurance company doesn't reimburse oral chemotherapy the same way that they treat intravenous therapy?
I am asking you, please, to co-sponsor HR 2746 and to put oral chemotherapy within the reach of all insured Californians, so that they might survive their cancers, as I have been blessed to have survived mine.
Sincerely yours,
Robert Adler
Robert's story is, unfortunately, one that many myeloma patients face every day and that is why it is our priority to fight for equal access to oral anti-cancer medications. If you would like to share your story with the community, please contact Grassroots Liaison, Aimee Martin email@example.com.
Also, consider joining us for our "virtual" lobby day on June 26th where from your own home you can help us reach our goal of contacting 100 legislators in one day. We will have more information to follow. Or participate in our Postcards for Parity Program, where we are bringing the importance of this cost discrimination to federal legislators' attention all year long.

"Anyway, as with most everything else, Carytown does holiday shopping differently. Everyone's heard of "Black Friday"… waking up at 4am to shop with lots of others who haven't had their coffee yet. It's quite an experience. The merchants in Carytown have adopted an new philosophy. "Black Saturday"… Still the same great deals and deeper discounts, just a lot less stress! and no getting up at 4am! Carytown's "Black Saturday…Because Black Friday was sooooooo yesterday!"
Join in the fun in Carytown on Saturday, you'll find carriage rides starting at 10 AM!
Carytown is just a mile away from Richmond's premier bed and breakfast – right in the middle of all Richmond has to offer from sightseeing, shopping, and dining. Richmond is a wonderful place to live and a great place to visit!
