Medicare excess charges are fees that exceed the amount the Medicare fee schedule allows. Physicians who accept Medicare assignment cannot charge these fees. However, physicians who have not signed a contract with Medicare but bill the agency for some services can charge the patient an additional amount, says Medicare.gov.Continue Reading
Medicare limits the amount of excess fees a health care provider may charge. Called a "limiting charge," this limit is 15 percent above the amount Medicare pays nonparticipating providers, which is 95 percent of the allowable amount. However, the limiting charge does not apply to all covered services or all durable medical equipment, explains Medicare.gov.
Most physicians and other health care suppliers who accept Medicare are participating providers, which means they have agreed to accept Medicare's fee schedule as payment for their services, states Medicare.gov. These providers bill Medicare directly, and Medicare reimburses them 80 percent of the allowable amount, less any deductible that the patient owes. The patient is responsible for paying the remaining 20 percent of the amount allowed by Medicare and nothing more.
Some doctors and health care suppliers do not work with Medicare in any way, Medicare.gov explains. These providers cannot bill Medicare for a person's health care even if Medicare usually covers the service they provide.These providers typically require that Medicare-eligible patients sign a written contract agreeing to pay the full amount of the bill. However, they must inform the patient that the service would be covered if the patient received care from a provider who accepts Medicare. Patients cannot be forced to sign a contract for urgent or emergency medical care.Learn more about Health Insurance

Berry Smoothie
Smoothies to me are so versatile. You can have them for breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner or dessert. They are perfect for after workouts too. You can really add anything you want to your smoothie and it is pretty hard to make it taste bad. Usually this type of smoothie with milk, yogurt, honey and some fruit is my favorite. Once you have your basics down you can add any fruit you want. I usually always have a banana and then just add what ever fruit i have in the fridge or freezer.
What is your favorite smoothie?
Berry Smoothie
Adapted from: Horizon Dairy
Yield:s 16 Ounces | Prep Time: 10 Minutes
12 tbsp Horizon Organic fat-free plain yogurt
½ cup fresh strawberries
½ cup fresh blueberries
½ cup Horizon Organic milk
½ banana
1 tbsp honey
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. For thicker consistency you can use frozen fruit. You can also add some ice as well.

2013 BAAA nationals in honor of original 'Golden Girl' Clarke
Published: May 22, 2013
The Bahamas Association of Athletics Associations' (BAAA) 2013 National Championships are slated for the Grand Bahama Sporting Complex, June 21-22. It should really be a thrilling experience with anticipated head-to-head competitions in female sprinting to be featured. However, I think it is significant that the person in whose honor this year's version of the track and field extravaganza is being staged, is being saluted.
Eldece Clarke is one of the icons of national sports in this country. A lengthy career of representing her country began in the early 1980s and did not end until the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Along the way, she was a quality ambassador at the CARIFTA Games, the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Youth Junior Championships and of course the Olympic Games, over and over again. One of the fastest Bahamian females who ever lived, Clarke has a personal best time of 10.96 seconds in the 100 meters (m). That's the sprinting territory only national record holder Chandra Sturrup (10.84), Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie (10.91), Savetheda Fynes (10.91), and Pauline Davis-Thompson (10.97) have traveled.
The sprint relay gold medal with the rest of the original Golden Girls aforementioned is Clarke's crowning achievement. There was much more to her though. A while back we sat down and talked about the embryo of the original Golden Girls. Many have claimed credit for the development of the original Golden Girls to the point whereby they were the best relay squad in the world and one of the finest in history.
Little is known and even less is attributed to Clarke and Davis-Thompson for crafting the well-oiled Bahamian sprint machinery. I will always remember listening to Clarke
recount the many financial sacrifices and otherwise, the ladies made to attend training sessions in the United States and the mother-type leadership given the younger member of the cast, Sturrup, Fynes and Ferguson.
The initiative broke new ground and actually never has been duplicated. It was unheard of for a group of athletes to undertake the tremendous challenges of using their very own funds to purchase plane tickets, cover housing, food and in-land transportation in order to become an ultra elite force. There were many frustrating conversations between the five. There was confusion at times. There was anger. There were doubts. There were tears. There were financial shortfalls. They had to all stall their social lives and transfer that dedication to track.
It was a time when the silver medal from the 1996 Olympic Games, although appreciated, caused them all to think seriously about Olympic gold. Indeed, it was when the disappointment of the 1997 International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) World Championships cut deeply to the core of the ladies. There was total dedication to the cause of being No. 1 in the world unequivocally. The younger ladies had the talent and Clarke and Davis-Thompson brought about a culture of maturity that encompassed the lot and led to glorious accomplishments of World and Olympic titles in 1999 and 2000 when the original Golden Girls were untouchable.
I remember that part of the legacy as much as I like to reflect on their accomplishments on the track. I don't think that Clarke and the others ever got the proper recognition for what they did. It is therefore in order that with the 2013 nationals carrying her name, Eldece Clarke will be remembered for a bit more than just what her legs did on the track. Now with the story having been told again, there will be more appreciation for all that she contributed to the national sports power image.
The gesture by the BAAA is appropriate. Clarke well deserves the honor. Often, it's as if she is the forgotten member of the original Golden Girls. There have been too many instances when a picture of just four, Sturrup, Davis-Thompson, Fynes and Ferguson-McKenzie, has been used when referring to the original Golden Girls. The 2013 BAAA nationals being named in Clarke's honor does a bit to give balance to history.
Best regards Eldece!

Quest for three straight starts in The Bahamas
Guardian Sports Editor
Published: Oct 02, 2013
LeBron James said that it's great to be welcomed with open arms. Dwyane Wade said that this is his fantasy camp and joked that Atlantis stole his idea. Chris Bosh kind of compared the sweet Junkanoo music on Monday night to Caribbean Carnival, formerly Caribana, in Toronto, where he spent the first seven years of his NBA career.
Yes, the entire Miami Heat team appeared to be thrilled to be in The Bahamas, even though they are cognizant of the fact that they are here for work - a three-day training camp over at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. It's the first time that the Heat's training camp has ever been held outside of Florida.
The Heat were welcomed with the sound of junkanoo music on Monday night at Odyssey Aviation, as they disembarked a private jet from Miami around 9:30 p.m. Immediately they were bussed to Atlantis, where they will spend the next couple of days practicing before returning to Miami on Friday.
Yesterday was all about getting back in a familiar setting though - on a basketball court. The Heat held the first of three two-a-day training sessions yesterday, will get back to work at 9 a.m. today, and then wrap things up on Thursday. Both sessions, at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily, are closed to the general public and the media.
Head Coach Erik Spoelstra said that even though they are in "paradise", they have to remember that they are here for work and can't be caught up in all of the amenities of Atlantis.
"Our guys are mature. We're not worried about the distractions," said Coach 'Spo', as he is often called. "This is an opportunity for our guys to enjoy an environment while at the same time, being at work. Today was just about getting our bodies moving in defensive sets. Our guys are very fit. They are very close to where they were when we left after the finals. That's a positive, because guys certainly need to get in better basketball shape, and that is what this camp is all about. Today, we didn't do one offensive drill. Our foundation is our defense - just to get to work and lay down the foundation."
As a matter of fact, the one common phrase that kept being repeated yesterday was that, "we're here for work," and not a leisure trip.
"A gym is a gym, no matter where you are. Once you get in here, you're sweating, and you know that you're back to work," said four-time league MVP and two-time NBA Finals MVP LeBron James. "We think that it is an opportunity for us to spend a lot of time together, and to do it in an environment that our guys can enjoy, but at the same time we know that we're here for work." As for the reception on Monday night, James said that it was nice of the Bahamian people to welcome them in that fashion, and they're looking forward to the rest of the trip.
"I thought that was pretty cool. We're humbled by it," said James. "It was nice of them to welcome us with open arms. It's still work for us. Guys know what they need to do no matter where we are. We just want to get back in the rhythm of things. We're a veteran ball club so we know the system, but we're going to go over it and just maintain the focus."
Wade thanked Atlantis and The Bahamas' Ministry of Tourism for being gracious hosts, but he also reiterated that they are here for work, and to refresh their minds back to the game of basketball.
"They gave us a great place to come here and work. Just to be here in this setting and around each other as a goup, and have some us time because we don't have that as much as we would like, is a good thing. This is our element in here, where we're really comfortable. It's a change for us. It's a good thing to get away sometimes for a change of scenery."
Wade, also a former NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP), said that they know that their fan base has grown, and they particularly appreciate the support they get from the Bahamian people.
The other member of the Heat's 'Big Three' Chris Bosh said that the experience so far has been awesome.
"It was just cool that they were out there showing us love in the rain (reception on Monday night). It was really nice," he said. "We know that we have fans everywhere and to have another country for us, we appreciate that. We know that we're in The Bahamas, but at the same time we're here to put in work. We're eager to get going this season. We know that we have a lot of competition out there, but we know that it's all about us. We're our own biggest challenge but as long as wo do what we're supposed to do and stay together, we should have a good chance."
Even newcomer Greg Oden, who has had a career laden with knee injuries and surgeries, said that he's happy to be out there and is looking forward to the season.
"We're in The Bahamas but it's still training camp. We haven't had time to enjoy anything. It's training camp - it just happens to be in The Bahamas," he said. "I'm excited. I'm happy to be out there and around this atmosphere with the guys. The Heat have the best plan for me to get better and improve, so I'm looking forward to it."
According to reports, Oden was limited in practice yesterday, just going through a few contact drills on the makeshift basketball court which was transported into the Imperial Ballroom of Royal Towers in Atlantis. Oden has played just 82 games over five seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Atlantis staff managed to get two basketball courts inside the ballroom on Saturday - one used for the Heat's practice sessions and the other just for shoot-around.
Both Bosh and James said that they like what they did with the court, and would love to come back to The Bahamas for training camp. Even coach Spoelstra said that it's amazing, and they're grateful for the assistance.
"We saw what it (inside the Imperial Ballroom) looked like empty about a month ago, and it was nothing like this. They did an amazing job in getting the courts down and making it look comfortable fort us," he said. "When we showed up last night, they had a mini parade and a band waiting for us. It was pretty cool. We got in after nine, but they had so much energy, I think that our guys were ready to practice right after they landed. They have been very receptive anywhere in this facility, and always willing to help us with anything that we need and we really appreciate that. We have been planning this for a while, to get to a good environment and get away. So far, it's been good, and it was a good first practice."
That first practice session yesterday was all about defense - no offensive drills at all. Bosh said that given the mindset of the team, it really came as no surprise.
"Defense wins championships, that cliché is true. That's Miami Heat basketball," said Bosh.
Ed Fields, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs & Retail Services, at Atlantis, said that anything that goes toward promoting Atlantis and The Bahamas, they're happy to be a part of.
"We have to remember that they are here to work and that is the reason for the tight security," he said. "This is a slow time of the year, and we're happy to have them. This shows our potential as a country. A basketball court is one of the hardest things to do in terms of sporting facilities. If the facilities are here, there are many people who want to come to The Bahamas and get away from their usual routine. This is relaxing, and we're accommodating, and they know that they are properly secured. This bodes well for sports tourism in The Bahamas. This can only grow. We realize that we have a winner, and now we just have to focus on what we need to do."
The two-a-day training sessions certainly have garnered a lot of attention, both locally and abroad. All of the media houses in The Bahamas have been represented over the first two days of the Heat's visit, and all four major networks in the Miami area are here - ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. Also, ESPN and the Associated Press are here in The Bahamas covering the Heat.
Today at 2 p.m., Miami Heat President Pat Riley along with team officials and Vice President of Player Programs and Development Alonzo Mourning will conduct a session for about 200 Bahamian high school children, from all of the major high schools in New Providence, in the Imperial Ballroom. The Bahamas' Junior Minister of Tourism and Miss Teen Bahamas are expected to be present. Also, a young American kid who got a kidney transplant, thereby benefitting from Mourning's charitable work, is rumored to make an appearance.
Mourning, who himself underwent a kidney transplant during his NBA career, retired in 2009 after 16 seasons. In 1997, he established Alonzo Mourning Charities Inc. to aid in the development of children and families living in at-risk situations, and 10 years later, he along with other past and current athletes founded Athletes for Hope, a charitable organization which helps professional athletes get involved in charitable causes and inspires millions of non-athletes to volunteer and support the community.

Heartwarming College Acceptance Reaction Caught On Camera [VIDEO]
Nothing beats the feeling of getting that letter in the mail that says you made it into college!
Each person's reaction may vary, but watching Rion Holcombe's will definitely put a smile on your face!
His mom posted this on YouTube:
"Thanks for the encouragement. A little explanation for those who find this perplexing….Rion was accepted into a special program called Clemson LIFE. This is an amazing two year program for a small number (15) of young adults with special needs. This isn't a program in which one can earn a degree. Right now, Clemson is one of five universities in SC with a LIFE program. I love that kids like Rion get to experience college life and this type of independence. Proud of my alma mater!"
Congratulations Rion! Enjoy your college years

As Tiger makes his way to the 18th green, with 30 feet and three putts to secure his 13th major championship, you have to sit back and marvel at his greatness under the largest of pressures.
Sure, this time it was Woody Allen, a lesser known tour veteran that is probably best known for beating his own head in with his putter, but that is the most impressive thing - no matter what the randomness of people that compete against him, Tiger is always there, always impressive, always composed, and always the best.
This might have been the hardest for Tiger to win with a big lead, but that is probably just a respectable look at what Mr. Woods has done for this sport - take it from obscure hobby to worldwide love.
The different in Tiger and anybody else with a three shot lead on Sunday - did you ever really think that he was going to lose this thing? Was there ever any doubt, even after the three-putt bogey on 14? Hats off to The Swoosh - he never lets us down.
The last of good news for El Tigre - Boo Weekley was nowhere near his scorecard.

CIRIA is currently reviewing its guidance publication, A
guide to the systematic management of risk from construction (SP125), following a
workshop in November 2011. CIRIA's Process and Construction panel came together
with invited speakers from London Underground, CLM (Olympic Park), Sir Robert
McAlpine, the Highways Agency and the Environment Agency to discuss the
guidance. It was agreed that the guide, first published in 1996, should be
updated to reflect the changes in practice. A scoping study is now underway. For
more information about the project and the study, please contact Owen Jenkins at CIRIA.

EXCLUSIVE: YouTube Sensations Megan & Liz Debut 'Happy Never After' (VIDEO)
"We couldn't be more excited for everyone to hear this song, to see us in high definition, and watch our first real music video!"
In another first, they reveal the song itself is different than others they've written.
"This song is actually the first song we ever co-wrote," they tell Celebuzz. "We wrote it with Mike Shimshack and Caitlyn Smith. It was really different writing with other people, but also so much fun! It's about moving on from someone you used to be involved with, and just accepting that they'll always be your "happy never after." We both had someone in mind when we wrote this, that's for sure!
The girls had a blast making the video, too. "The video was so much fun to shoot as well! [Director] Casey Culver and the crew made it seriously a blast. We were on some random rooftop in Nashville, and we had to wait until it was dark to start shooting. It got really cold, but when the cameras were rolling it went away! It was so weird! The driving scenes were really fun to shoot too, because we had no idea where we were going, so halfway through the song Casey would just blurt out randomly, 'Turn here, no there!' It was really funny!"

text: The end is nigh for True Blood, with the show's June 22 return kicking off its seventh and final season, and its last chance to answer all of our unresolved questions about Alcide's relationship with his father. Will the brooding werewolf finally come to terms with his brooding, slightly smaller werewolf dad? Or will the impending vampire apocalypse, brought about by Hep V-ridden vampires waging all-out war on Bon Temps, stand in the way of their reconciliation? This trailer offers little in the way of answers to these and the other pressing questions that True Blood has long pretended like we should give a shit about, focusing instead on Hurricane Katrina-evoking imagery of a forsaken Bon Temps—imagery that suggests True Blood may turn out, at long last, to be a prequel to Treme. But it also asks an important question: How can FEMA just turn a blind eye to making sure Alcide feels like he finally belongs? Don't they realize this subplot matters?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I did not sign a prenuptial. If he used his trust fund to purchase our house, but I signed a quit claim deed, am I entitled to anything? Such as 1/2 of the house?
The answer to your question may depend on the language of the trust document itself.
As far as the house goes, you really need the assistance of a lawyer to make sure you receive your fair share. Arizona is a "community property" state, so there are some special rules about property division. A family lawyer can help you determine what you are entitled to receive from a divorce.Ask a similar question
There are other facts I need to know. If the trust was set up prior to the marriage, there were clearly things in the trust that are his. But, the presumption in AZ is that if you acquired the property during the marriage it belongs to both of you. You did not indicate how the title is held. Is it held jointly or did you sign a quit claim over to him or to the trust? How did he buy the house? With community funds or funds from prior to the marriage? If he had the funds prior and you two use community funds during the marriage to pay down the principal on the loan, you may be entitled to some amount under that premise. So this is not as simple as just saying yes or no.Ask a similar question
It really depends on the source of the monies held in trust and applied toward the payment of the house. It sounds like this trust is an estate planning trust that he got from family (probably his parents) and is his inheritance or gifted from family. If that is the case, then the monies he used from that trust fund to purchase the house are his sole and separate property. Is there also a mortgage on the house? If so, then you may have a claim for some portion of the equity in the house, depending on how much of the mortgage was paid using community funds.
Do you have a copy of the trust, or any of the mortgage documents? if so, you really should take them to an attorney to review the situation with you. Another thing to consider, though, is if he has a paid-off house, that may factor into whether you would be eligible for spousal maintenance and the amount.

If the trust fund is an inheritance of some sort, it's likely you will not be entitled to the trust fund or the house purchased with the trust fund. It would be separate property, not community, and not arising out of community effort during the marriage.
There are a lot of "but ifs" that need to be answered to say for sure: but if you put some money into improving the house or if he put community effort into improving it, then there may be some claim, for example.Ask a similar question

Like his brother before him, Heath Shaw appears likely to finish his career away from the club that is intrinsically linked to his family's name.
Shaw and Collingwood have agreed that the premiership defender, who is contracted for another two years with the Magpies, will look for a fresh start at another club next year.
Shaw has not quit the club, nor has he been sacked, but both player and club have agreed that if he finds a club he wants to move to - and with which Collingwood can negotiate an agreeable trade - then Shaw would go.
Nathan Buckley and the Magpies have taken an assertive stance on older players since their disappointing end to the season.
They lost their elimination final to Port Adelaide and finished eighth.
Greater Western Sydney is a potential new home for Shaw, with the running defender fitting the profile of the type of player the Giants are after.
Paul Roos has long been an advocate of the Shaws so Heath could provide the Demons with some class.
Clubs likely to be in contention next year, such as Geelong and Hawthorn, are also likely to be interested.
Those such as the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda would be doubtful destinations because of the state of their development, while Essendon would find a trade difficult because of its absence of tradeable draft picks.
North Melbourne coach Brad Scott worked with Shaw during his time at Collingwood and is understood to be interested.
Shaw, 27, reportedly would also be prepared to move to Perth or Adelaide.
The Giants have suitable trade bait for the Magpies. Youngster Taylor Adams is looking to move back to Victoria and Collingwood has been interested in the young midfielder. The Giants have sufficient draft picks to offer in a potential deal.
Sydney refused to comment, but with Jarrad McVeigh and Nick Malceski playing the rebounding defender-midfielder role of Shaw's brother Rhyce this season, and emerging players such as Dane Rampe and Shane Biggs developing into running backs, the appeal for the Swans is perhaps less than it would be for Shaw, who could reunite with his brother.
''Heath is a contracted player, but he has reached a point in his career where he has to weigh up where he wants to play out his final years and he is looking at other options for where that might be," Collingwood football manager Rodney Eade said.
Shaw's manager Ben Niall said Shaw recognised he needed to change and felt that a fresh start at a new club might make that change easier.
''We have met with Collingwood and discussed his future and we are absolutely open to a fresh start,'' Niall said. ''He has seen what his brother has done at Sydney and recognises the potential positive effect a fresh start can have on a career.
''He accepts the feedback he received from Collingwood and does not argue with it. He acknowledges that wherever he goes, he accepts he has to change and he will work on his behaviour and discipline.''
Shaw's close friend and premiership teammate Alan Didak was upset to be cut from the club despite wanting to play on.
Ruckman Darren Jolly and forward Andrew Krakouer were also delisted and are searching for new clubs, while restricted free agent Dale Thomas will likely wait until the free agents' window opens, when he can officially receive offers from rival clubs.
Thomas, who is expected to receive a significant offer from Carlton, can potentially put that offer to Collingwood, asking the Pies to match it, or else he would be free to leave to the Blues.

It's a fantastic source for news, and I love going to their website for such sections like "Kitchen Window" and their Music page. Through "Song of the Day," I've managed to find out about a gamut of artists I've listened to and liked. NPR is fantastic in communicating world news on an individual scale, for example, in covering the current food crisis, they focused on a bakery in Connecticut that's encouraging its customers to grow their own wheat to prove to local farmers that wheat can be a good crop to grow in the New England state. They also went on about the rising costs of food by discussing each ingredient in a baguette and why the costs of the particular ingredient are going up. Their "Climate Connections" page is informative not only on a local, American scale, but also in informing us about what other countries are doing to reduce carbon emissions and make things better.

GoDaddy Ramps Efforts In Latin America
Scottsdale, Arizona-based GoDaddy is ramping up its efforts in Latin America, saying that it has started offering support in both Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. The company said the customer support in Latin America comes from native language speakers, and is part of a localization of its products in Latin America. GoDaddy's expansion in Latin America comes as the company has increasingly focused its business on small businesses and international expansion.

In Move To
30 Things You Need to Know About New Haven Before You Move ThereAre you looking for long, lofty conversations over rare cigars, an incredible art scene, fiery Ivy League rivalries, and, of course, "apizza"? Then New Haven is the place for you.
1. New Haven Is The Ivy League--Of Good Times
Source: Flickr user: amelungcOne of the top schools in the nation, Yale University attracts some brilliant people to New Haven, making the city an academic hub. But don't let the neo-gothic architecture, the ivy on the buildings, and the smarty pants people fool you into thinking the city is too cerebral to have fun. New Haven an extremely exciting place to be-the art and music scene, along with some pretty excellent theater and sports, are just some of the things New Haven citizens get to enjoy as a result of being a home for Yale students and professors.
2. S#&% Gets Real At "The Game"
Source: Flickr User ragesossThe Yale Bowl is Yale University's football stadium, and also the largest University-owned football stadium in the nation by capacity. This is a good thing because, the football games played there attract thousands of visitors each year-particularly for the famous Harvard-Yale game. As every New Havenite knows, this rivalry goes way, way back-in fact, it's the oldest rivalry in College Football (known as "The Game"). So, as you can imagine, it's one of the highlights of the year in the city.
3. Grab A Slice Of New England's Best "Apizza"
Source: Flickr User camknowsIt's impossible to talk about New Haven without talking about pizza (or "apizza", as it's called in New Haven). Modern Apizza, Pepe's, and Sally's are just some of the best places to go-but you really just can't go wrong when it comes to New Haven "apizza." It's the kind of pizza you order for takeout, but have to start eating in the car before you get home.
4. New Haven Is Gooey, Buttery, Perfectly Grilled Cheese Sandwich Nirvana
Source: Facebook User The Caseus Cheese TruckIf you're a New Havenite, you value a good grilled cheese. And probably more than most because you've been spoiled with gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches from the famous Cheese Truck, owned by Caseus Fromagerie. The Cheese Truck, which moves from place to place around the city, is by far one of the best parts about living in New Haven. If you're lucky to catch it, you can order a grilled cheese that features Comté, Gruyére, Parmesan, gouda or sharp cheddar, all exceptionally melted on buttered sourdough. It's pure heaven. (Also, don't miss Caseus Fromagerie Bistro, where you can get all of what's on the Cheese Truck and then some).
5. Let Your Art Geek Flag Fly At The Yale University Art Gallery
Source: Facebook User Yale University Art GallerySimply put, this is a phenomenal art gallery. The oldest college art museum in America, the gallery holds 200,000 pieces of art ranging from ancient times to the present day and representing art from all over the world. Plus, it's free to the public, making this art-going experience all the more enjoyable.
6. Bravo! Encore! Check Out The Broadway-Quality Theater Productions...
Source: Facebook user Yale Repertory TheaterI've been lucky enough to see a few plays at the Yale Repertory Theater (or, as most call it, the Yale Rep)-and all of them have been outstanding. If you're a Yale student, these NYC-quality productions are only $10 a ticket and it's also really affordable for the general public.
7. And Shake Your Booty To Live Concerts At The Shubert...
Source: Facebook User The Shubert TheaterA landmark of New Haven, the Shubert Theater attracts musicians, dancers, and performing artists of all different kinds-everyone from The Pixies to the Nutcracker Ballet to the Blue Man Group have performed here. It's eclectic in what it has to offer, and also just a really beautiful performance space.
8. And Let Your Heart Swell To The Symphony Orchestra At Woolsey Hall...
Source: Flickr User Mike LoukidesYou wouldn't want to miss a performance here if you're in New Haven-it's truly a breath-taking space that serves as the main performance venue for the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, the Yale Bands, the Yale Symphony Orchestra, the Yale Philharmonia, the Yale Glee Club, and many smaller student-run ensembles such a cappella singing groups.
9. Or Forgo Your Fancy Pants At The Best Dive Venue In Connecticut: Toad's Place
Source: Flickr User bellemaremattI've seen many a concert at Toad's Place and I've never been disappointed-the space is big enough to attract some amazing artists and musicians, however small enough that you may find yourself talking to the band outside after the show (This has really happened to me, so I'm not just saying this-the Broken Social Scene drummer bummed a cigarette off of a friend). Plus, it's relatively inexpensive. Definitely a favorite for New Haven concert-goers.
10. After Toad's, You Can Grab A Falafel At 2:30 a.m.

Plus, you can also order from their extensive hookah menu and take advantage of their street seating if it's nice weather. What's better than a warm summer night, falafel, and delicious hookah? Nothing. The answer is nothing.
11. Even After A Night Out On The Town, The Cinnamon Bun Pancakes At The Pantry Are Worth Waking Up Early For
Source: Flickr User ijokhioEveryone knows that The Pantry is the best place to get breakfast or brunch in New Haven-and possibly all of Connecticut. They're inexpensive, serve huge portions, and have a classic diner feel. Yes, they're cash only. But the cinnamon bun pancakes are truly worth the ATM fees.
12. The View From East Rock Park Will Blow Your Mind
Source: Google imagesThere isn't a person in New Haven who hasn't climbed on the East Rock trails. The views from the clifftops are exceptional and span everything from the metropolitan New Haven, to Long Island Sound and Long Island. The 427-acre park is open year-round for hikers, rock climbers and even snow-shoers. It's one of the most serene and beautiful parts of New Haven.
13. Get Your Seaside Fix At 5 Mile Point

The lighthouse is part of Lighthouse Point Park, so people frequent the area for picnics and BBQs in the summer. Basically, if you want to enjoy coastline without venturing too far from the city, this is the perfect place to be. You can swim or simply the enjoy the wide expanse of beach, taking in the views of the New Haven skyline across the water. Plus, there's a carousel and dogs are allowed! Definitely a must-visit if you're in New Haven!
14. New Haven Has A Hogwarts-Worthy Library
Source: Flickr User Lauren ManningWalking around the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in New Haven is a pretty magical experience (think "Harry Potter" meets "Beauty and the Beast"). Located at the center of Yale University, the six story building does not have any glass windows. Instead, it has walls made of a translucent Danby marble, which transmit subdued lighting and provide protection for the books from direct light (See, I told you it was magic). Not only is the building beautiful, but the books and manuscript collections are pretty epic.
15. New Haven Goes Bonkers For International Art (What Can I Say, It's A High-Falutin' City)
Source: Facebook User The International Festival of Arts and IdeasThe International Art Festival of Arts and Ideas is a two-week festival, held every June, and is estimated to attract 1 million visitors who come to attend hundreds of exhibits, lectures and concerts reflecting artists' cultures from all over the world. The festival basically takes over the city of New Haven, and for these two weeks you feel like you're living in a international artists' hub, once again proving New Haven isn't all about Yale's math and science geeks. There's just as much love for the artistic souls, as well.
16. But It's Local Artists Get To Represent, Too
Source: Facebook user City Wide Open StudiosThis October marked the 10th anniversary of the City Wide Open Studios, when local New Haven artists welcome visitors from all over the country-10,000 visitors to be exact. It is the largest Open Studios festival on the East Coast, and promotes local pride in New Haven artists. It also provides a way for the public to discover the hidden gems-artist studios, workspaces, and works of art-in their community. About 300+ local artists open their studio doors across New Haven for this awesome event.

The museum has permanent exhibits on everything from the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, and has new exhibits coming in and out every few months. This place was awesome as a kid (almost everyone visits here on a school trip at least once), and when I returned as a young adult it still hadn't lost its magic.

However, it shouldn't be overlooked that The Study is also home to Heirloom, which has some stellar menu items, especially their dessert menu (Nutella molten lava cake, anyone?)
22. Localvores Pay Attention--New Haven Has A Whole Market Dedicated To Locally Sourced Food
Source: Facebook User CitySeedCitySeed Farmers Market is a non-profit organization and a farmer's market all in one. Not only does CitySeed have a great mission, they also have exceptional locally grown produce. Their goal as a non-profit is to engage the community in growing an equitable, local food system that promotes economic development, community development and sustainable agriculture.

Winner of the famous Food Network Show, Cupcake Wars, this bakery knows how to make a cupcake. I'm consistently blown away by the kinds of unique flavors they come up with (there are 36 flavors available each day!) Try the S'mores or Chocolate Chip Cheesecake-two of my personal favorites. And if you aren't already convinced: they have a traveling cupcake truck. Portable and exceptional cupcakes = amazing.

It's just awesome. Whether you're a Yale professor wanting to get all heady over a cigar and bourbon or you simply just want to light up and watch the game after a long day, you'll fit right in at this laid back cigar lounge. The bourbon and craft beer selection at The Owl Shop is exceptional (if you're a bourbon snob, it's one of the only places in New Haven you can find Papi Van Winkle). With its wood paneled walls and leather couches and chairs, it's hard not to fall in love with this place (unless you're watching your daily smoke inhalation--if you haven't already guessed, it's quite smoky in The Owl Shop)
25. Play Sommelier For A Day At Wine Thief...
Source: Facebook User The Wine ThiefPlaces like New Haven's Wine Thief are why the city gets such a good reputation from the wine snobs out there.

30. Which Is Why Everyone Wants To Live Here
Source: Flickr User bjohnson00From a real estate investor's standpoint, New Haven is a dream: New Haven has some of the highest occupancy rates in the state. And high occupancy rates are predictors of a city's cash flow, therefore attracting businesses and creating more jobs in the area. The city has done a great job of keeping up with the demand-there are major plans for new apartment complexes that will be popping up left and right over the next several years. Is that really a surprise when New Haven has something for everyone to be excited about? Whether its art, culture, nature, great food, stellar education or cupcakes--seriously, don't forget those cupcakes--that get's you going, New Haven has it in spades.

Three Killed, Hundreds Evacuated as Floods, Blizzards Hit Turkey
Two people have died in floods in southern Turkey and a man has frozen to death in the northwest as heavy rains and snow wreaked havoc, Anatolia news agency reported on Sunday.
A ten-year-old girl perished as she fell into a stream and was swept away by rising waters in Icel province, where floods forced the evacuation of hundreds of people and damaged crops and infrastructure.
The second victim, a 26-year-old man stuck in a makeshift shed in his lemon garden, was crushed by masonry as the floods swept away the stone walls of a shed, Anatolia said.
In the northwestern province of Canakkale, a 60-year-old man froze to death while walking from his village to a nearby town after blizzards paralysed traffic on many roads in the region.
In Icel, 455 people, mainly from villages located in a valley in the skirts of high mountains, were evacuated to Tarsus town on Saturday, Tarsus governor Necmi Kurt said.
Another 122 people had been evacuated from their homes to nearby Erdemli town, according to Anatolia.
They were put up in sports halls, schools and holiday facilities, where relief agencies were providing humanitarian assistance.
A four-storey hotel at the Meditarranean coast near Erdemli collapsed overnight, but there were no casulaties as the building was empty, Anatolia reported.
Two neighbouring hotels were also in danger of collapse, it added.
Officials said the average rainfall per square meter in Icel since the beginning of December was more than four times greater than the monthly average in the last 50 years.
The floods, which also caused mudslides, damaged vast sweeps of agricultural land, cut power networks and blocked roads in the province as well as in neighboring Adana.
Agriculture Minister Husnu Yusuf Gokalp and Health Minister Osman Durmus travelled to Icel on Sunday to examine the damage and pledged government support for the compensation of agricultural losses and infrastructure rebuilding.
In the meantime, Turkey's northwest provinces were battling heavy snowfall and blizzards, which paralysed traffic and hit electricity and telephone networks, Anatolia said.
Roads to about 300 villages in the region were blocked and many vehicles were stuck on roads, the agency said – Ankara (AFP)

The Apprentice: Martha Stewart
NBC reveals the identities of its 'The Apprentice: Martha Stewart' contestants
By Reality TV World staff, 08/19/2005
NBC has revealed the identities of the sixteen candidates who will be competing for an opportunity to work for Martha Stewart on her upcoming
The Apprentice
spinoff series.
The Apprentice
: Martha Stewart
will premiere Wednesday, September 21 at 8PM ET/PT -- one day before the fourth edition of the original Donald Trump-led
The Apprentice
series debuts on Thursday, September 22 at 9PM ET/PT.
While Trump was reportedly disappointed in the quality of the contestants featured on his most recent
The Apprentice
edition, Stewart claims to be quite happy with the candidates that the show gathered for her. "I am incredibly impressed with this cast," said Stewart. "Their poise and creativity is balanced by a tremendous entrepreneurial spirit. Many of the candidates were as accomplished or more so than I when I started to build my business."
Nonetheless, viewers shouldn't worry that the contestants' "poise" will result in boring, drama-less television. "Even so, there are some explosive personalities among the candidates and they really create a lot of tension in the conference room," added Stewart.
As noted by Stewart, although
The Apprentice
: Martha Stewart
will feature the same format as Trump's original
The Apprentice
series, the show will (rather absurdly) change some of the show's familiar terminology. Instead of a "boardroom,"
The Apprentice
: Martha Stewart
will feature a "conference room" (huge difference... huge) and, rather than live in a "suite," the living area in which Stewart's contestants reside will be termed a "loft."
A review of the contestants' profiles indicates that Stewart's candidates do appear to be more impressive than those featured on Trump's editions. Unlike Trump's previous casts, nearly all of Stewart's contestants appear to be college graduates who possess at least one undergraduate degree. Additionally, unlike all of Trump's previous casts, Stewart's cast is not gender-balanced, with only six of the sixteen contestants being men. Of the six men, two are gay while only one -- a 22-year-old whizkid -- is single.
Stewart's contestants also skew older than Trump's. Nearly half the cast is in their early 30's and only four candidates (including one recent college graduate) are 20-something. Collectively, the group ranges in age between 22 and 42. Professionally, the cast includes accomplished chefs, ad executives, creative directors, lawyers, designers, a magazine publisher, and a TV newscaster
