Medicare Part D

Q: What is Medicare Part D, and who is eligible?
A: Part D is the new prescription-drug benefit that the federal Medicare program is offering starting Jan. 1. Private companies will provide coverage. In Washington, there are more than 70 plans to choose from, differing by cost, which drugs or other services they cover, and how they deliver those drugs to the consumer.
Anyone who is eligible for Medicare is eligible for Part D: people over 65, people with disabilities and people with end-stage renal disease.
Q: What kind of plans are offered?
A: There are two basic options. Participants can keep their existing Medicare plan for doctor and hospital visits and join a stand-alone plan that provides prescription-drug coverage only. Or they can join a comprehensive plan that includes coverage for doctor and hospital visits as well as prescription drugs.
Q: How much does a Medicare prescription-drug plan cost?
Choosing a Part D drug plan:
When the enrollment period begins on Nov. 15:
Make a list of all the medications you are currently taking, or may need to take in the near future.
Decide how much you can afford to pay in monthly premiums.
Read the "Medicare and You, 2006" handbook, sent this fall, to see which drug plans are available in Washington. Go to the Medicare Web site or call the toll-free Medicare number, 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227), to find out which drugs are covered by each plan.
Narrow the list to plans that you can afford and cover the drugs you need to take.
Check which of those plans use pharmacies nearest to your home or offer delivery through the mail.
Fill out an application either in print or online. To get a print application, contact the company that offers your drug plan. Phone numbers are listed in the "Medicare and You" booklet. Return the completed application by fax or by mail.
To get an application online: An online application may be available through the company's Web site. Otherwise, go to www.medicare.gov, where you can join a plan through Medicare's online enrollment center.

A: It depends on the plan. But most people with stand-alone plans will pay a monthly premium ranging from $7 to $65, depending on how much coverage they want. Premiums are expected to increase every year.
Some participants will be responsible for a yearly deductible, up to $250 in 2006. Many plans require a co-payment for prescriptions.
Q: What happens if I can't afford the premiums or deductibles?
A: Some participants may be eligible for extra help from the government. For example, an individual whose income is less than $14,355 a year, with assets less than $11,500, may qualify for that help.
Medicare recipients who also receive Medicaid, a Medicare Savings Program or receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) automatically qualify and do not have to apply for this extra assistance. But they will be automatically enrolled in a plan if they don't choose one by the deadline.
Others can apply for extra help through the Social Security Administration (800-772-1213, or www.socialsecurity.gov) , or through a local Medicaid office.
Q: When is the open-enrollment period?
A: The initial enrollment period begins Nov. 15 and ends May 15. For people who join by Dec. 31, coverage will begin Jan. 1. After that, coverage will begin on the first of the month after they sign up.
There is a penalty to join after May 15: Participants will pay at least 1 percent of the average monthly premium — which is $20 this year. The penalty increases for every month after May 15 that you wait to join, and will last for the duration of coverage.
Q: Why not sign up for Part D?
A: It may not make good financial sense for some. For example, for those who don't take a lot of medicine, the premiums may total more than the cost of the drugs.
A former employer or union may already offer prescription-drug coverage. They are supposed to issue letters by Nov. 15 explaining how their coverage compares to the new Part D plans.
If the coverage is at least as good as Part D, keeping an existing plan may make sense. In that case, signing up for Part D later will not incur a penalty.
Q: If I sign up now for Part D coverage, will it pay for every medication I am taking now?

Online help
The Medicare Web site: www.medicare.gov
Other help
MedicareRxConnect, a coalition of nonprofit health organizations, has a comprehensive Web site to walk people through the process: www.maprx.info.
A: Not necessarily. Some plans do not cover certain kinds of drugs, such as weight-loss pills and sexual-performance drugs. Other plans may cover those drugs, but the premiums are usually higher.
Each plan has a list of drugs that it will cover, but the companies may remove drugs from the lists, or change the cost of them, at any time. If so, they must provide 60 days' notice, and patients and doctors may appeal.
Q: How easy is it to switch plans within Part D?
A: Between Nov. 15 and Dec. 31 of each year, participants can change plans freely. People who move or change nursing homes can switch plans during other specified periods. Medicaid recipients can change plans at any time.
Q: How does this affect the Medicare drug-discount cards that were sent out last year?
A: The Medicare-approved drug-discount cards were introduced in 2004 to help people save on their prescription drugs until the new prescription-drug coverage starts next year. Medicare recipients can still use the cards until May 15, or until they join a drug plan, whichever comes first.

text: If that tube TV is in good working condition, consider donating it to a local Nursing Home or Old Folks Home or Hospice etc instead of recycling it - there are always patients there (many bedridden) that really need a TV and the staff will make sure it goes to good use. When my mom passed away at a Hospice, i gave her 27" Panny Tube TV to an old gal across the hall that had a crappy small 19 incher and she was so grateful for the larger screen. I ended up taking two other Tube TVs (as well as ALL of her clothes) to that home when i cleaned out my mom's house and they said they have many patients that have no TV at all and are grateful for any TV they can get.

I travelled from Melbourne, Australia to China with Cox & Kings Australia on a 14 day trip in November 2012. The hotels were spectacular - some of the best properties I have stayed in to date. The main Tour Escort, Cherie, was simply fantastic, with a wealth of knowledge of every destination, bringing Chinese History to life. I have already booked my next Cox & Kings Australia Tour, which will be a 3 week holiday to India. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle free way to travel.

Jamestown's "starving time" reveals unsavory tales of cannibalism

The Washington Post
The famished Jamestown colonists began by eating their horses. The horses were followed by rats, mice, dogs, cats, snakes and ... boots.
Then they began eyeing each other.
They would later call it the "starving time," winter 1609-10. Some colonists dug their own graves and lay down in them, resigned to death.
They boiled their fancy collars, or ruffs, for the starch. They ate their dead.
George Percy, one of Jamestown's early leaders, in about 1625 provided what is probably the best-known and most gruesome account.
He described a "worlde of miseries" that included hunger-crazed colonists digging up the dead, and one man who killed, "salted" and carved up his pregnant wife for food.
This story was repeated, and luridly embellished, over the years. "Whether she was better roasted, boiled or carbonado'd [barbecued], I know not," the colony's Capt. John Smith wrote in his version of events about the same time. "Such a dish as powdered wife, I never heard of."
Percy reported he had the unnamed killer hanged by his thumbs to extract a confession, then had him executed for the "crewell and unhumane" act.
By March 1610, more than half — by some accounts, 80 percent — of the settlers had died.
Archaeologists have been wary of the Jamestown cannibalism reports.
"That's tricky to prove," said William Kelso, director of archaeology at the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) and Jamestown's lead archaeologist.
Referring to Percy's story, Kelso said: "I think there was a sort of Jeffrey Dahmer-type guy that was there. Somebody that was insane ... somebody that's just totally twisted and they get under stress and they do something like that.
"But I don't think ... [the colonists] all sat around chowing down on each other."

A Riedel Crystal Coke Glass???
We all know that certain glassware is better suited to certain beverages. Behold the Champagne flute, which helps those bubbles soar and sparkle, or the goblets favored by Belgian beer aficionados. But a crystal soda pop glass?
Riedel Crystal, which made its name in swanky wine glassware, just released a crystal Coca-Cola glass – and we're still trying to decide if this is hilarious or brilliant. We tend to slam our soda straight from the bottle – or can.
"The unique shape of the Riedel + Coca-Cola glass unveils the most detailed aromas and taste of the unique spices and flavors of Coca-Cola," the Riedel spokespeople say. We fear the crystal may render the nuances of aluminum can too subtle for our refined palates to fully appreciate.
What do you think? Would you fork over $15 for a crystal glass for your Coke?
Stone Brewing releases new mixed 12-pack

To aid in overcoming this somewhat agreeable dilemma, Stone Brewing Co. is offering a multifarious option with the latest iteration of its Stone Mixed 12 Pack.

Matthew McConaughey inspires Oscars cocktail
Wow, that was fast!
The Sauza tequila folks were quick to capitalize on Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey's acceptance speech during Sunday night's Academy Awards. They have concocted an easy-to-make cocktail and named it the "Alright, Alright, Alrigh-Tea."
Now we'd like to see someone come up with a foot-in-mouth cocktail inspired by John Travolta's "Adele Dazeem." How about a "frozen" apple sour?
Meantime, here's the recipe for the McConaughey-inspired drink:
It Ain't Easy Being Green
But, the organic hop landscape has changed dramatically since Bison received its organic certification in 2003. The organic hop quality and variety available is the best its ever been. This year, Bison was able to contract a huge allocation of organic Simcoe®, finally allowing Daniel Del Grande, Bison's owner and brewmaster, to brew his first-ever Double IPA using 100% organic hops.
"Kermit The Hop is more than just a beer to me," explains Del Grande. "It celebrates the huge strides that have been taken by organic hop farmers in reaction to organic brewers in the last decade."
Dust Bowl Launching Hobo Pilsner
"This past year we focused on a series of "Big Beer" styles in 22 oz. bottles, which helped solidify our branding and showcase our brewer's range," shares Brett Tate, founder of the Central California brewery. "At the same time, we expanded production capacity at the brewery to accommodate the volume needs of a standard beer. I'm excited to finally bring Hobo to the marketplace.

Or 0.028 in bitcoin, at today's exchange rate. (Sounds like a bargain when you put it that way, doesn't it?)
The coastal tea room is now accepting digital currency from its customers — making it perhaps the first in the Santa Cruz area to do so and one of a few in the Bay Area.
Sudwerk Spring Lager returns
Spring is right around the corner, just a few weeks away, and with it comes its many traditions and celebrations. Sudwerk Brewing is ready with its popular seasonal, the Mai Bock Spring Lager. The beer, which sold out quickly last year, debuts this week.
Bocks, like Sudwerk's Mai Bock Spring Lager, is a stronger lagers. The style originated in the 14th century, when Catholic monks in Germany wanted a beer with higher nutritional content and alcohol — as a substitute for food during fasting.

Cerapio Vallejo's artistry has been featured in many periodicals, including Business Week, Sunset magazine, and the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as on PBS Television. "My art form was handed down to me from my parents and grandparents. But the quality of my work is the result of my long experience and the product of my careful observation over the years. I draw inspiration from our ancient Peruvian cultures, Andean village life, and from our snow-capped mountains.
"I have faced many challenges during my life, and I have learned from them. Perhaps the most difficult was when I was obliged to leave my house in Ayacucho with my family. I had to make this painful decision because there was no other way. This was during the 1980s, when terrorism was bleeding my people to death and there seemed little hope.
"Artisans in my region were considerably affected when tourism halted. Even now that Ayacucho is at peace, we remain in our city home; we created a new life here, and are thankful that Ayacucho is flourishing and we can visit it."

Comments about 'Topic of the day: The upcoming implementation of the Affordable Care Act'
- Oldest first

There's nothing affordable about this "Affordable" act. Gone are the days when government made policy to actually help people while not helping the government grow. This is about growing the influence of a corrupt leadership, and has NOTHING to do with lowering healthcare costs. The government can't lower healthcare costs because they can't fix prices. I'm sure the left would love to fix prices if they could. Instead government gets in the way of competitiveness with needless excess regulation, which DRIVES UP costs due to a WHOLESALE LACK OF COMPETITION. All the ACA does is exacerbates this problem. This brand of politics stinks. Taxes keep growing. Government keeps losing legitimacy and efficiency.

Given how desperate large corporations (McDonald's, Home Depot, etc.) and unions have been to get waivers and how Congress recently rewrote rules so they and their staff members could receive subsidies to make it affordable for THEM, how can we expect anything good to come of it for the rest of us?

The status quo has resulted in tens of millions of
Americans being forced to go without health insurance because they can't
afford the premiums or they've got pre-existing conditions, or both.
Healthcare costs are the #1 cause of personal bankruptcies in our nation.
It's an indefensible mess.
The ACA pulls those uninsured
Americans into the healthcare insurance pool (btw, all privately run) and
creates insurance exchanges and tax credits to provide an insurance program for
those who's employers can't or won't offer health insurance to
their workers.
If it were up to me we'd adopt a European style
single-payer system and completely eliminate our byzantine and inefficient
private health insurance industry altogether, but that's just my opinion.
Instead, we're merely looking to implement a healthcare
financing system that was originally the brainchild of the ultra-conservative
Heritage Foundation and touted by Republicans as their solution to our existing
healthcare financing mess... until it was embraced by President Obama and now
you guys say it's horrible.
I swear, if President Obama spoke
publicly about the importance of oxygen you'd start arguing in favor of

The average price for basic health coverage purchased on ACA health insurance
exchanges will be $249 a month, not counting subsidies, in 48 states reviewed
by HHS, according to a government report published Wednesday.
figures released represent averages and prices will vary widely by geographic
location as well as family size, age, tobacco use and income. Even the average
price of a so-called bronze plan, designed to cover 60% of medical expenses not
counting monthly premiums, masks big variation. The average price of the
cheapest bronze plan in Minnesota is $144 while in Wyoming, comparable coverage
costs $425 on average, not including subsides.
For people who
currently are uninsured and who qualify for financial assistance or enrollment
in Medicaid, the federal-state health program for the poor, the average prices
look to be low: 56% of uninsured will be able to get coverage for less than $100
a month per person, Gary Cohen, director of the Center for Consumer Information
and Insurance Oversight, said during the conference call.

To "Blue" stop spreading the lies.
Prior to the ACA the 1996
HIPPAA law required that uninsurable people were to have a state run insurance
pool. Those that just had pre-existing conditions were often put on 6 to 12
moth probationary periods where they were treated for everything but
pre-existing conditions. Oftent he probationary period was waived if they were
covered previously by another insurance provider.
Why would you want
a universal care system? Do you want to give sub-par care like in the UK? Do
you want to have people waiting excessive times for surgeries? Do you want
doctors to close up shop because the healthcare money was spent for the year
like in Germany? Do you want to ration hospital stays like in Japan, or limit
how many times you can see a doctor like in Taiwan?
Do you really
want to see people suffer because the government can't provide everything
for everybody?

I predict mass suicides across the board. This is going to break the people it's supposed to be helping and they will have less income as they are forced to work part time. And those "ultra rich" CEOS of small mom and pop businesses will go totally under. Stupid liberals think anybody who makes $100,000 a year or who owns a mom and pop store is a 1% billionare. Thats how deluded they are.

Truth is, Obama had a political agenda, not a political solution. He wants the
government to be the driver of the economy and do away with the whatever is left
of the free market economy. Government picks winners and losers in the market.
Look at the renewable energy debacle. Money was funneled to his political
supporters for their massive projects, including General Motors. The best
solution would have been, increase the eligibility criteria for
medicare/medicaid and fund accordingly. Done! Medicare and Medicaid will
negotiate their reimbursement rates as they have always done. By creating
another monster and have the IRS as their bouncer, are you kidding? What
business do they have knowing my medical history. Next thing you know, it will
be anonymously leaked to the press that I have thrombosis hemorrhoids?
increasing the eligibility criteria for medicaid/medicare, everyone who need
insurance will be covered. But, that's too easy. 13000 additional IRS
employees have been hired to monitor your health records. How dumb! Besides,
life has consequences. If you work hard, you get rewarded with good job and pay.
If you don't, and rely on Government you just surrender your liberty to the
government. Just saying

Billboard -- A record-breaking 55.74 million digital songs were sold last week (ending Dec. 30) -- the single-largest week for download song sales ever according to Nielsen SoundScan. It beats the previous record of 47.73 million sold during the week ending Dec. 28, 2008.
The huge sales surge last week is owed largely to consumers redeeming music download gift cards received on Christmas Day. A week earlier (ending Dec. 23) there were 25.50 million songs sold.
To compare: Last year, in the first full week after Christmas (week ending Jan. 1, 2012), there were 46.42 million songs sold. The week earlier (ending Dec. 25, 2011), there were 38.25 million sold.
Unlike in 2011, where the gift card impact was spread into two separate SoundScan tracking weeks, 2012's haul is mostly housed in a single SoundScan frame.
Why is that? Because, in 2011, Christmas Day fell on a Sunday -- the final day of SoundScan's tracking week. So, we saw impact both in the tail end of the Dec. 25, 2011-ending sales week in addition to that of the Jan. 1, 2012-ending week.
In 2012, as Christmas Day occurred on a Tuesday, basically all of the gift card impact is found in the sales week that ended on Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012.
The post-Christmas week digital song haul helps bring 2012's overall song sales sum to a record 1.336 billion. That's up 5% compared with the then-record total moved in 2011 (1.271 billion).
Additionally, as we forecasted last week, a bevy of individual songs saw enormous sales gains last week thanks in part to redemptions.
On Billboard's Digital Songs chart, a record 48 songs sold more than 100,000 downloads last week. The week previous, just 10 did. Until this week, no more than 39 songs had moved 100,000 in a frame (in the week ending Dec. 26, 2010).
Leading the charge at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart this week is Taylor Swift 's "I Knew You Were Trouble," which returns to the top (up one slot) with 582,000 sold (up 163%). That is the fourth-largest sales week ever for a song, and the second-biggest for a tune that wasn't in its debut frame.
Flo Rida 's "Right Round" continues to hold the all-time one-week digital sales record, when it debuted with 636,000 on the chart dated Feb. 28, 2009. Swift's own "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is second with 623,000 (a debut on Sept. 1, 2012). Ke$ha 's "TiK ToK" is third with 610,000 sold over the Christmas frame of 2009 (reflected in the chart dated Jan. 2, 2010). "TiK Tok" had debuted in October of 2009.
"I Knew You Were Trouble" is one of seven songs to sell more than 300,000 downloads last week. Bruno Mars ' "Locked Out of Heaven" is pushed down to No. 2, despite a 120% sales increase. It sold 497,000.
PSY 's "Gangnam Style" takes a tremendous leap as well, rising 8-3 with 400,000 (up 245%). While the song long ago peaked in airplay, and already started to drop in sales, it got a renewed life last week thanks to end-of-year media exposure.
Justin Bieber 's "Beauty and a Beat" ascends 7-3 (372,000; up 212%), Rihanna 's "Diamonds" holds at No. 5 (365,000; up 159%), the Lumineers ' "Ho Hey" slips 3-6 (304,000; up 104%) and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" drops one rung to No. 7 (just over 304,000; up 116%).
As for the rest of the top 10: Ke$ha's "Die Young" rises 12-8 with 299,000 (up 228%), will.i.am & Britney Spears ' "Scream & Shout" slides 4-9 with 285,000 (up 99%) and Phillip Phillips' "Home" falls a spot to No. 10 with 281,000 (up 157%).

The fact that we've found a habitable planet candidate so soon after starting our search has important implications for the number of habitable planets that may exist in our galaxy - which was estimated to be around 10 billion.
Having found Gliese 581g so soon though, may mean one of two things. Either we were very lucky, or there are more planets out there than we thought. Based on this discovery, it's possible that we may have many more habitable planets than originally thought.
Perhaps 20 to 30 billion stars in our galaxy may have conditions suitable for life.

Youth sexual risk behavior is often described in social terms, and there has been limited attention to date on how measures of the built environment, including access to municipal services, impact sexual risk behavior, particularly in resource-limited countries. Using the Cape Area Panel Study, we assessed the impact of neighborhood conditions (six single items and a built environment index (BEI)), net of individual socio-demographic factors. The results suggest that built environment factors are associated with sexual risk behavior. Also, the magnitude of associations between built environment factors and sexual risk behavior was more pronounced for females than for males. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

By'Save the Stadium' movements coming a bit too late Babe Ruth's granddaughter and the son of New York Sun scribe Andrew Wolf both want to save Yankee Stadium. Wolf writes that the pro-Yankee Stadium crowd recognize the inevitability of the new stadium but would like to see the city preserve Yankee Stadium as a park in the South Bronx open to all. While I love this idea and believe it would attract baseball fans from all over, I fear that these efforts a few years too late and are bound to fall more than a bit short. · (7) ·
Scranton walks-off with a playoff spot
By · CommentsTriple-A Scranton (13-12 win over Lehigh Valley, walk-off style) they were down by 6 as late as the 7th inning … the win clinches a postseason berth
Justin Christian: 4 for 6, 1 R, 1 RBI
Melky Cabrera: 1 for 6, 2 K, 1 CS – he was caught trying to steal third with the game tied and one out in the bottom of the 9th … oof
Juan Miranda: 0 for 1, 2 R, 3 BB
Matt Carson: 1 for 1, 2 R, 1 RBI – pinch ran for Miranda … scored the winning run on a walk-off error by the LF
Shelley: 1 for 6, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 4 K
Ben Broussard: 2 for 6, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Chris Basak: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 SB

Game 128: Moose hunting for 17th W
By · CommentsMike Mussina has won 17 games for the Yankees three times during his career, most recently in 2003. Tonight, with Moose due for one more start this month, he'll go for win number 17 of the season. For all the ups and downs the Yanks have lived through this year, getting Moose 20 wins would be some story.
Behind him, the Yanks will toss out this lineup:
Damon CF
Jeter SS – One hit shy of 2500 for his career.
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Giambi 1B
Nady LF
Matsui DH
Cano 2B
Molina C
The Yanks this year are just 5-7 against the Orioles, and Moose is 0-2 with an 11.12 ERA against his former team. Both the Yanks and Mussina really need this one tonight. Game time's at 7:05 p.m.
Fantasy Football Note: For those of you interested, Mike is organizing a RAB Fantasy Football league. Spots are still available. Click here for the details. The league is full, sorry.
Inside Yankee Stadium on a tour
By · CommentsAs part of the last season at Yankee Stadium, my dad and I yesterday morning took one of the Behind-The-Scenes tours the Yankees offer at the old stadium. The tour — which started at 11 a.m. — lasted an hour, and we were taken around to parts of the ballpark generally closed to the public. We walked on the field, sat in the press box, enjoyed the view from the dugout and strolled through the Yankee Clubhouse.
Going inside the new stadium on a day in which there is no game offers a fascinating glimpse inside the life of a baseball stadium. For just 81 days a year, a baseball stadium is used for its intended purposes. For the other 284 days, the stadium sits empty. While team officials are hard at work running the business, the stadium itself is cleaned and primped regularly. The Yankees may be out of town, but the stadium is alive on a Thursday afternoon.
Our tour started with a walk through the press box where Sunday's lineups were still penciled on the big board. I sat in the seat usually reserved for the reporter from the Asahi Shinbum, and I could see the spot from which Peter Abraham blogs every night.
The best seat in the house belongs to the official scorer. He sits on a platform above all of the reporters with a microphone so that the announcers, writers and game officials hear all of his decisions.
After the press box, we walked through the empty stadium en route to Monument Park. The seats are looking a bit worse for the wear, and the stadium keepers were still cleaning up from the home stand.
In Monument Park, we had more time to explore the grounds that one would during a game day. We could examine the monuments, plaques and retried numbers. (On a related note, I hope this guy comes back soon.)
After enjoying Monument Park, we walked past the left field foul pole on the way to the Yankee dugout. The Yankees prefer the first base side of the stadium because the third base dugout sits in the sun during day games. The bullpen phone looks just as neat in real life as it does on TV, and the view into the crowd is rather impressive.
Following the jaunt into the dugout, we ventured down into the clubhouse where cameras are not allowed. Chien-Ming Wang had a package from Taiwan in front of his locker. Mike Mussina's whiteboard was nowhere in sight, and Brian Bruney's locker was sporting a fantastic bowler hat. As the longest tenured Yankee, Mariano Rivera had the primo corner locker.
As we left the clubhouse and walked back to the field to conclude the tour, a sign with a famous quotation greeted us as it does every Yankee during every home game. I have tickets for just one more Yankee game at the old stadium, and if this tour is my second-to-last trip to the House that Ruth Built, it will server as a fitting memorial a baseball cathedral.
ByRAB Fantasy Football League Due to popular demand, we're going to form the first ever RAB Fantasy Football League this year. The league is already set up at Yahoo (head-to-head, three weeks of playoffs, nothing crazy), and now we just need participants. If you're seriously interested, email me at mike (at) riveraveblues (dot) com, and you're in. Make sure you put "fantasy football" or something to that effect in the subject line. The league is limited to 20 teams (Joe & I are playing, Ben's too scared), so first come first serve.
The draft is currently scheduled for 1pm EST on Sunday, August 31st (same time as the Yanks game), but I just realized that that's the day before Labor Day, so I think I'm going to move it up to that Saturday (again, same time as the Yanks game). Let me know in the email what day works best for you. Please note that the comments are closed, so make sure you send me an email if you want in.
Update (4:45pm): Still 9 spots open.
Update (6:00pm): The league is fill. I'll keep you updated if someone drops out a spot opens up. · (2) ·
ByTeam USA falls to Cuba in Olympic semifinals The USA Olympic baseball lost 10-2 to Cuba this morning in the semifinal round, meaning Team USA will take on Japan in the bronze-medal game later tonight. SDSU phenom Stephen Strasburg started, but didn't make it out of the 5th, while relievers Jeff Stevens and Blaine Neal combined to cough up 6 runs in the 8th, putting the game out of reach. Either Brett Anderson or Jake Arrieta will take the mound for the red, white & blue tonight, while Japan will throw some kid named Yu Darvish. Cuba will take on Korea in the gold medal game tomorrow evening. · (11) ·
ByScheduling details emerge for 2009 According to Ed Price, the Yanks are set to play against the NL East next year during Interleague Play. While the full 2009 schedules are still be finalized, Price reports that the Yankees will host the Mets, Phillies and Nationals at the new Yankee Stadium. In return, Chien-Ming Wang will attempt to run the bases more successfully next year in CitiField, Atlanta and Miami. This whole Interleague Play thing is getting a bit boring. · (29) ·
ByThe Boss could bring down Yankee Stadium I know what you're thinking: How is it news that the Boss will bring down Yankee Stadium? It's always been his plan to build a new playground for the Yankees. Well, I'm not talkin' about this Boss; I'm talkin' about New Jersey's own Boss. According to a completely unsubstantiated report by Rush & Molloy, the Steinbrenners want to top the Billy Joel Shea Stadium send-off, and the family is hoping to get Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney on board for a musical extravaganza. If this happens, I'm so there. · (16) ·
ByOnce more unto the Bronx parks Early this week in the Daily News, Ian Begley wrote an extensive article on the issues surrounding the new Yankee Stadium and displaced parkland in the South Bronx. While Begley's piece doesn't touch on anything new that I haven't covered — the RAB Yankee Stadium archive is available here — the article is a succinct summary of the issues surrounding the land grab and broken promises. The Yankees and the City should make good on their parkland promises sooner rather than the later. The longer this issue drags on, the worse the Yankees look. · (1) ·

A priceless headdress once worn by the last Aztec king who hoped that by giving it to the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes it would lead to peace has been saved from falling apart after a two year restoration process by more than a dozen experts.
Cortes accepted the gift from Emperor Montezuma II in 1519 but it did not stop him laying waste to the Aztec capital in Mexico. The headdress however survived the destruction of the city of Tenochtitlan where it was made and it was sent back as one of the spoils of war to the King of Spain, Don Carlos of Austria.
Ironically the gift that was intended as a sign of peace was used as part of Cortes' efforts to win the crown's support for his planned march to Tenochtitlan and the end of the Aztecs.
Once overseas, the headdress changed hands several times, making stops in the collections of European royalty such as Archduke Ferdinand Von Tirol where it was mentioned in 1521, before landing in the Museum of Ethnology in Vienna in 1880.
The item was taken off public view two years ago after it was noted the flamingo and other feathers that adorned it were starting to fall apart - sparking a painstaking two year restoration project.
The director of the Kunsthistorischen Museums (KHM) to which the Museum of Ethnology belongs is Sabine Haag, who said. "Given its past it is a miracle that this item even exists today. It is by far our most important object."
She said that media reports of a tug of war with Mexico that reportedly wanted the artefact back were no longer an issue and had been hyped up by the press. Former Mexican President Abelardo Rodriguez, who held office from 1932 to 1934, paid out of his own pocket to have the replica made after seeing the original while visiting Vienna.
Haag said that the question of whether the headdress would ever be allowed back to Mexico on loan was still open, but would be hard after the Austrian Committee for Cultural Heritage ruled that it was not suitable for transport.
Its present flat appearance dates back to the restoration carried out in 1878 that had mistakenly identified the feather head-dress as a standard.
Haag said: "The feather head-dress comprises a wealth of different materials: organic ones such as feathers, plant fibres, wood, leather, paper and textiles, but also non-organic materials such as gold and gilded brass.
"The friction and abrasions caused by these materials and the artefact's age have compromised its state of preservation and complicated its conservation. The ageing process of the organic materials has resulted in irreparable, brittle and fragile areas.
"Although the object has been stabilized with careful interventions and preventive conservation measures its original condition cannot be recreated. However, after careful cleaning and various conservation measures the feather head-dress can now be put on public display again after an absence of many years."

That looks great. I love the style.
Kazona's forum posts
@samstrife: No argument here. And to be honest, thinking more about it, it reminds me of the vast countryside of San Andreas, which I loved driving around, except bigger and more... alive.
In summary: I am stoked! Looking forward to jacking a dirt bike and exploring the countryside.
What the hell is wrong with people in this thread? Microsoft and Google are doing what you can't do. They're taking your side against the government, and yet all that you can say is how evil Microsoft is.
So who, exactly, is the big bad evil at Microsoft? Is it their PR department? Their CEO? Or perhaps it's all their employees? What, then, makes them so much more evil than you and me? You all talk such big talk from your proverbial high horse, but are you really that much better than them?
And what, then, if you or someone you know finds employment at these companies you find so evil? Then they must be evil,too, right? After all, the company they went to work for its pure evil and they are now part of that evil.
No, I think, perhaps, that when it comes time to talk of evil, you should look at your own reflection. Because the truth is, while you might talk down about these large corporations, they are doing what you and the rest of the "common people" lack the balls or decency to do. You may speak of what must be done, but when it comes time to do it you will remain silent, too busy with your self preservation and no longer so concerned about your fellow man.
So tell me, who is the real evil?
