FC Eintracht Bamberg lose to FCN II 2-0 in front of a packed house in Nuremburg. Ok, Bamberg representd with a few fans.
Manchester City bid accidentally for Barcelona's Lionel Messi By Subhankar Mondal, Reporter Filed: Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 05:59 UK Last Updated: Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 05:59 UK Manchester City made an accidental bid for Barcelona forward Lionel Messi in the summer of 2009, according to the club's former chief executive Garry Cook. Cook recalls the incident in Gary James's book 'The Manchester City Years' that deals with the history of the club. Cook explains how on the final day of the summer transfer window in 2009, City approached Barca for the Argentina international by mistake, as club officials in Manchester, London and Abu Dhabi were trying to conduct business over the phone. "An executive made a comment like, 'it's all getting messy'," he revealed. "Via the phone lines and the other communication lines, this somehow translated into 'get Messi'. "An offer was made for Lionel Messi of about £30m. Needless to say, it was rejected." City subsequently went on to sign Robinho from Real Madrid for £32.5m on that day. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...ews/citys-accidental-bid-for-messi_40902.html
http://www.bundesliga.de/de/manager/ Let me know if you need any help with the translation. ... (it took me an hour to figure it out... and I can read German).
City eke out a win. Mancini is going to freak. They are going to have to keep shopping. And if Aguero is out long term... even keep Adebayor.
So happy United lost. Van PurseStrings calls that a winning team?!! Also equally upset at Nasri's winner. Santi Cazorla was a great buy and looked great vs Sunderland. Unfortunately they parked the bus so we couldnt score.
This is why is don't care much for the teams from the former Soviet controlled sector. http://www.focus.de/sport/fussball/...ht-strafe-wegen-eigenen-fans-_aid_803986.html
I've never even heard of Chemnitz FC before. I've been to Germany countless times, and I've never been to East Germany. I haven't even been to Berlin, although perhaps I should one time.
Since you were born there, I imagine you've seen it already. Frankfurt was nicer than I expected when I went there for the Womens World Cup Final. That stadium is top notch. Seeing Eintracht Frankfurt play would be a treat.
I think I put this here before, but of you like soccer highlights, get em all here. http://eurorivals.net/
Bamberg is in trouble. I'm on their facebook page. After the 2nd game of the season, they sold their 3 best players, and haven't spent a dime to replace them. The fans are up in arms. Such a shame for an amazing city. Koln could be in trouble too, but I think it's just early for them.
What division is this? Is it the 2nd Division in Germany? Andy Carroll gone to West Ham on loan. Hammers agree to pay his €101, 000 weekly salary. Awful lot of money to pay a donkey. I will be slumming it somewhat on October 13th next, I will be in Liverpool to see Tranmere Rovers play Yeovil Town in League One, although looking at the table they currently occupy the top two places.
Koln is in the 2nd German league, they were relegated from the 1st division last year. My poor Bamberg Smokey beers are in the 4th Regionalliga division.
The DFB agreed with Viennalager that having Fortunal Duesseldorf play their first home game to a closed stadium was ruled too harsh. The ESPRIT arena is full.
Cazorla is class! Podolski too! God I hate RVP....goddamn traitor. That goal vs Fulham was genius though....definitely top 5 in his career.
Cazorla is very talented, as is Podolski. Giroud looks terrible in my opinion. His passes have been horrific. Not sure why he is getting the playing time that he is.
I think you are being too harsh on him. His hold-up play and movement have been very solid. He just needs to relax and the goals will come. As for his passing, I don't really remember him attempting that many passes...but he did have 10 assists for Montpellier last year so I'm sure that'll turn out alright.
Ok, I'll give him more of a chance. The only thing I noticed good that he does is create space for himself. His shots have been so off the mark it's incredible. I've seen his passes be weak and not connecting to the target. But, I'll let a few more weeks pass by and see if he finally settles in.

Arrived about 15 minutes before check-in time. Prepared my $20 sandwich while waiting in line. After he asked for my I.D., I asked "Are there any complimentary upgrades available today?" He asked what I was looking for and I said I'd like a fountain view room. He slid the $20 under his keyboard and confirmed that a room had "just opened up" and booked us on the 33rd floor. The room would have been an additional $35/night from our original booking, so we saved $120.
I had read several stories about the $20 tip in Vegas especially at Planet Hollywood. I had also read in other review websites like Yelp that this is a bogus and do not try this as it might be offending to the clerk. But nevertheless, I thought of trying. The most I would have lost was $20 and 2 minutes of unpleasant feeling. It was about 8 pm when I checked in and there were a lot of people checking in. So I hoped I get the clerk on the extreme left so that there was no one to my left. Luckily I got that clerk. I had to use the restroom before checking in because I was coming from a long drive from Grand Canyon. I prepared the ID/20/CC sandwich as I had read in this site before going to the check in desk. And from there, it was exactly the same steps as most of the people had mentioned. I said my last name upon which he pulled up my reservation. Then he asked me for the ID. I gave him the ID/CC sandwich. He asked me if I needed change for it. I said, "No its for you. I am wondering if there was any complimentary upgrade available." He put the ID near the screen, CC on left side of his keyboard and $20 bill on the right side of the keyboard and said "Let me see what I can do." He searched for less than a minute and told me I can put you in a Panoramic View suite. I wanted 2 beds because it was 3 of us. He said he has other options but that has only 1 king which would not work for me. So he put me in a Panoramic view on the South end (Which did not have the Fountain View). I dont know if I would have got the same upgrade if I had just asked politely and requested for a complimentary upgrade. I will try again if I go to Vegas again but next time, I will book the cheapest room in the hotel and not the slightly expensive one. I would suggest everyone to try it atleast in Vegas. All you lose is $20 if it doesnt work and I have heard that most clerks will return the $20 if they cannot give you an upgrade.
Checked in at ~2pm; long lines, but the front desk was well-staffed. The male clerks were stationed close together at the center area, while two young female attendants were on the wings; needless to say, I was trying to target them, and was very happy when I got one of them; I sandwiched my $20 and shortly after greeting her and handing the sandwich, I asked her if there were any complimentary upgrades available ... the routine went as planned, although there was a lot of nervousness on both our parts; she asked if I wanted change, and I said no, and that's how it went. Very straightforward and I got a great resort room with an okay view of the eiffel tower. Not bad at all!
So, we waited to check in, and went to the first person who said "Next please". I was ready for the tip trick ( I was a virgin at the tip trick), and was a lil nervous. So, I walked up with a $20 bill sticking out between my CC and I.D. I said "Hi, I'm here to check in, and was hoping to get a comp upgrade". Handed her the "materials" needed, and she said "Let me see what I can do". At this point, I noticed my 20 proudly displayed on the counter ( I would have thought she would have been a little more discreet). After some lightning fast typing, she asked me if I would like a super king, with a strip view. Um, yes please and thank you!. She had me initial something that stated that I wouldn't be charged for the upgrade. Now, here's the embarrassing part, lol She says ( as I'm initializing and signing things ), "Did you want change for this $20?". Well, this is where my world came crashing down. I was nervous enough, now she just threw this curve ball at me. WTF? "Um, no, that's for you". I said, she she was like "Ummm ok? enjoy your stay". So, I dunno what happened, or what I did wrong, or what the hell happened, but it was all a blur. On the way to the elevator, I was going over in my mind, where I went wrong, but then I realized when I got to my room, something must have worked. I went for work, and we never get decent rooms when we go. We're getting a cheap price on the room because of the size of our conference, and that seals our fate of getting the rooms no one else wants. But I am sure I got a lil something extra here. So, I'm going with "Yes, the tip trick worked" for 400 Alex.
Arrived at around noon. I handed the person $20 sandwiched in the id and cc. I let the clerk know we were in town celebrating my brother's 21st birthday and asked if any upgrades were available. He asked if we needed two beds (i think we could have gotten a suite if we didnt need two). He then asked if we wanted a larger room or one with a view. I said both of course! After we laughed for a little while he said he upgraded us to a resort room with a view, but it wouldnt be ready till around 3. When i returned to pick up the keys I asked the clerk helping me how the room was becuase we had upgraded. I did not hand this person money, but had a wad of cash showing. He looked it up and said we did get a bigger room and it had a view, but it was not the best. He looked for a little while and then told me he was able to find a room with a view of the belagio fountains. I tipped him $10. Got up to the room and it was definitely larger. The view though was what made it phenomenal!. Make sure you specify you would like a fiew of the fountains. On a side note i asked if upgrading to the Westgate Towers was possible and they said no since it was ran by seperate management.
We got there about 12am to check in there was a guy and a lady working the desk the lady looked not to happy so i was hopping for the guy to check us in and we got him i had the 20 spot in the middle of the credit card and the id and said this is my first time in las vegas and was hoping for a free upgrade he seen the 20 and said let me see what i can do for you he clicked away at his computer and found us a nice resort vista room over looking the pleasure pool and the vegas strip and we had 4 people staying in the room and didnt charge us the extra 70 a day for extra people in the room it was a great trip and a awesome room
I had read about this trick online but was still nervous about trying it but when the clerk asked for my creidt card for incidentals I laid it on the counter along with a folder $20 and asked "are there any complimentary upgrades available?" He didn't respond but typed into the computer and then showed us a book that had the room layouts. He showed us what we booked and what we were getting. It would have cost us $50 MORE PER NIGHT had we bought the upgraded room when we booked the trip. It was well worth the $20 tip. The room was spacious, has a huge bathroom (very important for 2 girls) and a view of the Bellagio fountains.
We checked into 2 rooms in the evening. Tucked 2 $20 Bills between my credit card/ID and said, "We were hoping for a complimentary upgrade." He saw one of the 20's and said, "Sure.. I'll find you something good." And sure enough, we got comped to junior suites. I've never seen the basic room that we booked, but this suite is frigging awesome! 42" Plasma TV about the bath tub!!!
My wife and me had booked a standard Hip Room at the Planet Hollywood through the hotel website. We arrived in LV around 3:00pm on Sunday, went to the reservation area just a few people in line with 3 people at the counter. When it was our turn go to the counter we went up to the clerk who was a male in his mid 20's, handed him my cc/id with a $20 bill and asked him if any free upgrades were available. He noticed the cash and said, "let's see what we can find", he typed in his computer for a few minutes and said he had strip suite. Said that it has a great view of the strip as well as the Bellagio Fountains, went up to the room and he was right it was awesome. This is the third time I have tried the tip and I am 2 for 3, it's defiantly worth the chance.
I didn't get a chance to target anyone specifically. Planet Hollywood had a queue instead of individual lines. It was the day Kansas basketball lost in the tournament to VCU, and I was wearing a Jayhawk polo. As I approached the clerk commented and offered his sympathies. With a connection already established, I figured I'd take my shot. I sandwiched my $20 as he pulled up my reservation and slid it across. He did take my $20, then asked if it was my birthday with a wry look. Of course it wasn't, but he put it in the computer that way, and upgraded my room. I had a room overlooking the pool, and I could literally see the Bellagio Fountains from my bed. Not bad for $20.
I tried the $50 sandwich on the twenty something front desk girl. It was early in the day about 11am so there was no line checking in. She saw the money and ignored it. I asked if i could get a complimentary room upgrade and she said "no we don't do that". I told her I had a panoramic suite last year and would like the same but she said she could not do that. I showed her the $50 discreetly again and asked if she was sure. She said sorry. She said my room was not ready yet but if I would like to pay $20 a night extra they could put me in the resort vista room which is an upgrade...I hummed and hawed but then I accepted that deal. That is twice I've tried the Front Desk Tip here and it didn't work either time!
Clerk's name started with "C". We had an EXTREMELY long line so we were already trying to check out which individual we could or would get or WANTED to get to ensure the tip would work. We were waved over and the sandwich was already ready. He stated he could not take the tip, but I said please take it, I insist and he did. I asked about the comp. upgrades and he said he'd see what he could do. There was some concern initially since the room was booked under my significant other's name on behalf of him from his company and they had booked him for 2 rooms instead of one. Obviously there was concern the need for a manager would eliminate our chances of getting the upgrade but he was there to assist getting the reservation that was not needed out and deleted w/o bothering the company's discounted rate that they had negotiated for their employees. As a couple we have to pay for the additional dates we are here, but now we got a nicer room at the lower rate from the company deal! Check in time was around 10-11pm as it took us quite a bit of time to make it to the hotel from the airport by cab. To note: other company employees who did not employ the sandwich ended up on 25/26th floors and we did not get any other info on how nice the room was. Our room was closer to the Paris end of the 51st floor.
Got off the late flight and arrived at PH around midnight. Read about the sandwich trick and as it was my first time trying it, so I thought to look for a male clerk to try my feminine wiles on. Meanwhile, boyfriend was standing off to the side I think slightly embarrassed and very skeptical that it would work. Unfortunately, he didn't notice the twenty and I hadn't the guts to make it more explicit. We didn't get any room upgrade, and ended up in one with an Urkel theme instead! Boooo.... Headed to LV again in January so hoping it will be different this time.
It was at the PH towers by westgate. We put $20 in our passport and handed it over while asking for any complimantory upgrades. The girl said the best she could do was give a jacuuzi in our room, we said that was fine as we were staying for 9 nights. when we got into our room it was a 1 bedroom on the 55th floor and had a great view of strip, there was also a jacuuzi in the bedroom. Well worth the $20. We checked in at about 6.30pm.
Checked in around 11 pm on a Thursday night - only 2-3 people working the front desk. 2 women, 1 male...all between 30-40. 5 minute wait in line. The first one available was the middle agent - female/mid 30's. I slipped the $20 between my id and c.c. and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She put the sandwich down in front of her, typed something into the computer and said, "Sorry, we can no longer accept tips". She gave me the sandwich back and I asked what kind of room I had. She said Hollywood Hip, NOT facing the strip. I asked if there were any Hollywood Hip strip view rooms available. She said, "Let me see what i can do". She gave me my keys and said, "It's on a private floor...you will need to insert your key in the elevator to access the floor." I opened up the package I saw that I was on the 51st floor (top floor). Room was an old Aladdin room (dated), but the view was spectacular. Front and centre of the Bellagio fountains. As a side, the two other friends I went down there with both tried the $20 trick (both having Hollywood Hip reservations). One agent actually accepted the $20 (surprising as this is rare since Harrah's takeover) and the other told him they were no longer allowed to accept tips. They were both upgraded to Deluxe Rooms, one on the 6th floor and the other on the 24th floor. All in all, I would say we went 3 for 3. Hope this helps...
Wasn't able to target a specific clerk but decided to tip $50 rather than the regular $20 since I had seen some stories on here that weren't successful. He noticed immediately that there was a $50 in the "sandwich" when we asked for complimentary upgrade and that we were celebrating our engagement. He said, "Thank you. However, we're unable to take tips any longer. You can tip me for the service afterwards if you're happy though." He looked for complimentary upgrades for us and got us a Strip view and we tipped him the $50. We got up to the room and were extremely disappointed- the room was still the standard room just with a view (and I'm not convinced it wasn't the room we already had booked to be honest). The room was FILTHY and beat up- looked like someone tried to recreate The Hangover. We took our bags and went back down to speak with the clerk. He quickly asked if anything was wrong with the room and I told him exactly what I said above and that we were hoping for a room comparable to what we got the last time we stayed at PH. I couldn't remember the name so he looked it up and he seemed noticeably embarrassed when I told him the state of the room. He said, "Don't worry. I'll get you a nice room." Well, he did make good on it the second time around and we got a Strip Suite with a giant 2 person bath tub and the entire bathroom and bedroom had panoramic windows in addition to a secluded "living room-like" area. It took two tries but the second go-around was a SUCCESS. (As a side note, PH has gone downhill a lot since I stayed at it previously. Although I love the decor and environment, it's not as nice as it used to be. I probably won't stay there again)
We walked up to check in and I sandwiched $20 between my ID and my Credit Card. She took out the $20 and set it aside on the keyboard as she was typing. She continued typing for about 3 minutes and it seemed like a long time for her just to say nothing was available. The front desk clerk then took out the PH brochure and said: "We have both the Strip Suite and Panaramic Suite available." I couldn't believe she was offering the Panaramic Suite to me so I just asked to double-check the cost for these upgrades. She responded "Oh, these will be free of charge!!" So We paid $99/night for the fountain view room and got upgraded to a $650+/night panaramic suite!!!! We got a a 1300 sq. ft. room with an oversized jacuzzi, 2 bathrooms, a bar, and a fantastic view of the Fountains, Paris, Eiffel Tower, Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Palace/Bellagio! Best $20 I've ever spent!!
Arrived at the PH lobby around 11 PM Sunday night and found a bit of a line. After about a ten minute wait I was called over by a female clerk in her mid-late twenties. I handed over my DL/CC with a $50 slid in between and asked if they were offering any complimentary upgrades. The woman smiled and said something along the lines of "Thank you very much, but we are unable to accept tips. But I will see what I can do for you anyway." She handed back the $50 and went to work on her computer. A few minutes of small talk went by and then she asked if my request for two queen beds was necessary. I was staying with two other guys so the extra bed was essential. I reluctantly said that we did need the two queens and she said that she could offer the Resort Room, though she sounded as if she was prepared to upgrade me to a suite had a single king been sufficient. I thankfully accepted the upgrade with the $50 still in my possession. The woman seemed very appreciative of my gesture and was more than willing to accommodate our needs.
I waited in line to check in, so did not get to target a clerk. Handed him the sandwich and started to ask for the upgrade, but he noticed the cash and cut me off to give it back. He said that they can't take tips anymore but he appreciated the gesture. He started saying that our room wasn't ready yet and we could check in our bags, then I asked him again about an upgrade. He offered us a smoking room (we wanted non smoking) but with a strip view on a top floor, but told us the rooms weren't the same style as the rest of the hotel, they are the old Aladdin style. We took the room and enjoyed the privacy of being on the top floor, and the view was really nice. The room definately needed some updating, but we thought it was worth it for the view.
Got to the Planet Hollywood Saturday afternoon of Valentines day, presidents day & chinese new year...needless to say i thought an upgrade would be a tall order. Got up to the counter, sandwiched a $20 between my ID & credit card, clerk smiled & said sorry, cant accept it. I told him that stinks & he should be allowed to, he said yeah, but i'll see what i can do for you. Ended up getting a bigger room & a view of the Bellagio fountains...and he upgraded a friends room that was in our party...basically we got $200 in upgrades for trying to tip $20, awesome!

I am a self study student from Texas. I cannot express how Midwifery Today has made a difference in my education. As a student, I am on a limited budget, and have been unable to afford a subscription, so I borrow any and every MT I can get my hands on. This has become one of the single greatest resources to my educational process. I am so grateful to all of the midwives who have given their knowledge so that we can learn. I have truly learned more from my devouring MT than any text on the market. I just read the latest issue…and again you have done a brilliant job. I am almost finished with my training and hope in the summer of 2001 to take my NARM exam. All of the articles are from real midwives who do this every day, and if they write about it you know it works. I can use it as a true frame of reference. Thank you so much. Dianne Bolton |
Thank You, Midwifery Today I really enjoy Midwifery Today and read it as soon as it arrives. I work in a medically dominated hospital in England, so it is very refreshing to get an alternative view from a global perspective. Fortunately, the hospital where I work has a progressive head of midwifery who encourages midwives to work autonomously and practice in midwife care schemes. It is not always possible to give the care that women would ideally like when governed by procedures and protocols, but we are striving to meet the needs of the women in our care by being more flexible. Midwifery Today is an invaluable journal for all midwives and students to guide them in their practice. Miranda Hayer |
Born of the need for a unifying force in the midwifery movement, Midwifery Today magazine has been supporting, encouraging and educating midwives and other birth practitioners since 1987. Midwifery Today, Inc. is committed to promoting safe, healthy and happy outcomes for mothers and babies, and believes that the midwifery model of non-interventive, preventive care should be the standard of care throughout the world.

- The perfect pencil liner! Review by Michelle
Value Quality Price I added this to an order just to make a free shipping total and was pleasantly surprised! Finally, the perfect liner that draws a slim line when wanted without breaking, and is still soft enough to blend and smudge but doesn't disappear or smear in the heat! I love to be able to find the thing that allows me to throw out all the other things I've tried that weren't quite what I was looking for and streamline my vanity and travel bag and this is definitely one of those things!!

Houston Medical Office Building to Be Sold Online25 Sep, 2009, Houston
Cushman & Wakefield today announced that the firm plans to sell 2715 Fannin St., a medical
office building in the Midtown submarket of Houston, Texas, through the company's online
auction site, www.absauction.com.
The property, located one block from Main Street at the intersection of Dennis Street, is being marketed by Cushman & Wakefield as a sale-leaseback opportunity. The online auction will take place Sept. 29 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Central time. Cushman & Wakefield launched its online auction site in Texas earlier this year and is now in the process of adding its other U.S. offices to the platform. Since the site went live, Cushman & Wakefield has successfully completed three property sales through Absauction.com. Property sales included the 88-unit Regency Crossing and 288-unit Magnolia Cove in Houston, as well as the 153-unit Oakwood in Lake Jackson. Under contract is the 195-unit Woodside Villas in Irving. All property types have been added to the platform. Cushman & Wakefield's Online Auction Platform is an innovative bidding platform that allows investors to privately bid on offered properties. The platform allows domestic and foreign investors the ability to participate in bidding on all fee-simple sales, portfolios, note sales and partnership interests, in many types of real estate pooled investments all in real time. Keith Misner, Executive Managing Director of Cushman & Wakefield's U.S. Capital Markets Group, said, "The combination of Cushman & Wakefield's physical global reach with 230 offices worldwide and this innovative use of technology is a real breakthrough solution we are pleased to offer our clients." According to Ed Nwokedi, a director in Cushman & Wakefield's Capital Markets Group, who oversaw the rollout of the platform in Texas, "Our Online Auction Platform offers an efficient process with the broadest possible reach and the aim of maximizing value for investors. Our clients and prospects have been very pleased with the platform and in addition to 2715 Fannin St., we are looking forward to bringing the 222-unit Oak Brook Apartments and the 200-unit Streamside Apartments to the market over the next 60 days. Cushman & Wakefield's marketing-based technology is centered in The Apartment System and is directly integrated with the firm's web site, www.apartments.cushwake.com or directly at www.absauction.com.

London Irish fly-half Steven Shingler will re-join former side the Scarlets next season on a three-year deal.
The 21-year old will be reunited with Wales international brother Aaron at the region, who has signed a three-year extension with the Scarlets.
Shingler, who has appeared 39 times so far for the Exiles, was named in Scotland's squad ahead of last year's Six Nations but was denied the opportunity to represent them by the IRB, having previously played for the Wales U20 side.
"Although I left the region, I've always remained a supporter and the Scarlets will always be a huge part of my life," said Shingler.
"You never lose that if you've grown up supporting Llanelli as a youngster - it's a strong rugby family and one of most passionate rugby communities around.
"I've had some great experience from my time at London Irish and it's been good for me to play in the intensity and physicality of the Premiership.
"During my time at London Irish, I've been lucky to work with and learn from some great people like Mike Catt who have pushed me forward and improved my game. My aim before leaving Llanelli was to get experience and plenty of rugby and I hope to achieve 50 appearances for London Irish and that can only be great experience for me going forward.
"I am very grateful to have this opportunity to come back to Wales and back to what I consider my rugby home; playing for a region I feel so strongly about and that has such devoted supporters.
"I've been following the Scarlets performances throughout and there's a very talented squad of players that I'm excited to be a part of. I look forward to working with the coaching set-up and I know from my brother how committed, close-knit and hard working the group at Parc y Scarlets is."

Half Of States May Not Expand Medicaid Under Obamacare
Florida is one of the latest states to decide to pass on the option to expand Medicaid coverage and have the feds pick up the tab. Over half of the states — including Texas and most of the states in the South — have decided against Medicaid expansion. We take a look at the consequences for hospitals and for millions of low-income Americans who, at least for now, will be left out of the healthcare overhaul.
Government Data Reveals Wild Disparity In Health Care Costs
Data released for the first time by the government on Wednesday shows that hospitals charge Medicare wildly differing amounts. Government officials said that some of the variation might reflect the fact that some patients were sicker or required longer hospitalization. These charges are not paid by the government or by insurers, who set rates and pay according to them regardless of charges set by hospitals.
Fitzgerald Might Disagree With His 'No Second Acts' Line
Audie Cornish talks to Kirk Curnutt, vice president of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, about the often misused and misquoted line, "there are no second acts in American lives." A whole generation of American politicians has fallen from grace, only to rise again and disprove the line — Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Eliot Spitzer and now South Carolina governor turned congressman, Mark Sanford.
Randy Newman Becomes A Rock Star
Randy Newman never considered himself a rock star. He's best known for his work as a composer of film scores, from the Toy Story movies to Monsters, Inc. When Newman learned he would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the news came as a complete surprise.
Hospital Costs Go Public: What Changes In Health Care?
The federal government launched a database Wednesday that shows how much hospitals charge for the 100 most common procedures. The data reveals extreme variances in hospital billing. One hospital in Dallas, Texas charges $38,000 for treating pneumonia, while another charges over $14,000.

Fed groups pounce on Obama's COLA-cutting proposal
In the latest proposals traded back and forth between the White House and Boehner, the President proposed changing the formula the Labor Department uses to measure inflation which would reduce annual COLAs for Social Security beneficiaries, including federal and military retirees. Federal-employee unions and groups remain worried the COLA proposals are still very much on the table.
00Cost of living cuts for the retirednot well FedThis will hit people when they are in their most vulnerable years. How do you substitute âlower cost alternativesâ to gasoline, food and energy? Sounds like let them eat cake is the new moniker for moving âforward.â34875{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0I have an idea....JohnElets take $50B from the DoD..acccording to their own accounting records they can not find around $50B a year in funds they recieved but simply can not find. Thats rigth the DoD loses nearly $50B a year that they can not account for..and it gets worse, DLA, the Defense Logistics Agency has been trying to perform an audit for nearly a decade, that is do a physical inventory of all the real estate, property, buildings and assest it owns here and around the world. Thats right the DoD cant even determine how many baese we have, where they are located, what assets both physical and non physical that are located in those baese. The estimate is in the trillions of dollars and they dont have a clue. We have the largest defense budget in the world. The next 17 nations with the highest annual defense budgets combined does not equal what the US spends each year. Many nations spend less on defense than what the DoD losese each year. And this President and this Congress wants to steal bread from the mouths of seniors. This President and this Congress wants to steal the heat that warms their houses. This President and this Congress wants to take the roofs from over their heads away. This President and this Congress, want to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, needy and elderly and not only do they want to reduce their standard of living, the outcome of this measure will force more poor into higher tax brackets, code for broadening the base phrase you heard so often in the last election which ah means more money for the rich who own Congress...so the rich and the powerful can stay rich and powerful. And taxing the everything earned above a $1M dollars is supposed to be paying their fare share..thats what we are supposed to believe..Americans should be outraged at these proposed actions...they are vulgar and reprehensible and reak of corruption and criminality The Congress controls the budget. The Congress controls the purse strings. The Congress got us into this mess with their malficeance and criminal misconduct. The got us into two wars and didnt think to finance them. They voted for tax cuts and didnt pay for them. They voted for a payroll tax holiday and made the SS system pay for it. They extended the interest rate deductions for college tuition and didnt pay for them. They had a knee jerk reaction to 9/11 which cost the country trillions of dollars and more and more waste, fraud and corruption. The Congress stole funds from the SS Trust Fund and then replaced them with worthless IOUs which suddendly now they cant find the money to repay. The Congress did this as an accounting trick to hide the hugh budget defiects it was running in effect lying to the American people and breaking their sacred trust to the nation. The Congress created this mess and now they want to fix it by the only way they know. Tax the poor, tax the elderly, reduce the meager COLA seniors are getting now...tell me Mr President, how is that a balanced and fair means to address problems that the poor had no voice in deciding. Its a complete and utter vile distortion and contemptable on your part. Starve senriors so the rich can avoid paying their fair share...let them eat Mr President. Thats your solution?34879{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0What're you, asleep? The president and the congress-dirtbags ALWAYs steal from the fed workers. What part of that is unusual?The Original Joe Sthey always pander to the rabble and use the fed workers as whipping boys. If all the feds one day said "scroo it, we give up" and stop performing their missions, this country would go down the chute.34884{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }34879Unions blowing more smoke...tncemThey haven't prevented anything bad yet. In fact, I'd like to know what good they've done in the last five years at all. It's time to hold your unions accountable for more then just meaningless words. Give them until tehbudget is passed to produce something positive...ANYTHING!! When they fail, drop them like a hot potato.34880{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Feds are between a rock and a hard place.kenifer47neither Dems nor Reps are on their side. The local politicians are outnumbered and at this point may not care anymore, because their votes are and have always been assured. This is not a good time to be a Fed employee past present or future. It's a shame that we are the scapegoats of the politicians.34890{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Reverse Heart FailureBy Daniel H.

A new stem cell treatment, involving injection of bone marrow stem cells into skeletal muscle, appears to help reverse heart failure by repairing cardiac tissue.

Would you like an old fashioned doughnut?
While working on a project with a friend, she asked me that question. I accepted the offer and she extended the bag to me. Part of me wanted to refuse after looking in the bag, but the other part wanted to try it out. This month, Ill be looking at Kitagawas Old Fashion Doughnut-Maccha.
The bag has a photo of an enlarged brownish-green doughnut with a drawn face in the hole. Beside it is a bowl of maccha (green tea) sitting on a red cloth and a bamboo whisk. Half the bag is transparent so the doughnut packages inside are visible.
Reaching into the bag, I pull out my pre-packaged doughnut. The package is clear without any printing. There is an Ageless Oxygen Absorber packet inside the package containing the doughnut. It tells me Do Not Eat and Do Not Microwave.
The doughnut itself is a brownish-green just like it is on the bag. Honestly, it does not look very appetizing. I keep wondering if its old fashioned because its actually a relic of days gone by.
Opening the package, a strong maccha scent escapes. Removing the Ageless Oxygen Absorber, I take a bite into the doughnut. The doughnut is dense and surprisingly not very sweet. The green tea flavour, complete with a touch of bitterness, dominates. It is, however, a bit on the dry and oily side.
The ingredients are as follows:
Wheat Flour, Sugar, Egg, Glucose, Shortening, Green Tea, Condensed Milk Powder, Salt, Distarch Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Glycerol Esters of Fatty Acid, Artificial Flavor, Guar Gum.
In the end, I have to say that this doughnut is pretty enjoyable. The lack of a super sweet flavour makes this snack so much easier to eat. Though not entirely healthy, I would definitely consider purchasing this snack as a treat.

Rock Center | November 01, 2012
>>> last in the news for running into a house fire to rescue his neighbors. tonight, he was in the news because he invited his neighbors to stay at his house with him. he happens to be the mayor of newark , new jersey, the big city just across the way from new york. and they are having big problems. and tonight, tom brokaw reports on cory booker , a hands-on guy with his hands full.
>> this is mayor cory booker . we have a power situation, obviously.
>> reporter: even before hurricane sandy invaded his town, cory booker had one of the toughest jobs in politics.
>> you guys don't have any young babies or kids in there, do you?
>> reporter: trying to rebuild newark , constantly buffeted by the winds of poverty and crime. now, 94% of newark is without power.
>> we need some lights on in here!
>> right now, i'm sending a tweet out to the resident that was concerned about her sick child.
>> reporter: booker, once a rhodes scholar , is a high-tech mayor. and his constituents know how to catch up. here's a tweet about a power outage sent by, get this, champagne mommy at playboy bunny .
>> what kind of twitter handle do you have here? look at this cute little baby. i have cold milk. we have diapers. i hope those are going to fit.
>> reporter: i caught up with him. and he talked about this new world of governing. can you imagine your predecessors going through this without one of these?
>> look, i can't even remember three, four years ago before i had that power. just for me, the power of twitter alone, i have tens of thousands of my residents who are letting me know about what's going on, telling me about their neighbors that need somebody to get to them right away.
>> reporter: i know that just being mayor in good times is tough. does this just exhaust you? do you say at some point, i can't do this?
>> i'm running on adrenaline, caffeine and a love of the community.
>> reporter: by using twitter to connect with his community, mayor booker says he's helping to keep the faith .
>> we've had amazing zero crimes of opportunity, no looting, no problems like that. i'm going round the clock.
>> reporter: booker achieved superhero status when earlier this year he came home to find his neighbor's house on fire . he charged through the flames to rescue her. you're the hands-on mayor. you rushed into a burning building to save a woman, you're all over the city. now you're the diaper deliveryman.
>> people in crises don't realize how important the small things are. this doesn't necessarily have to be refrigerated right now.
>> reporter: was that family surprised to see --
>> surprising a lot of folks when you get a chance to show up.
>> reporter: with an armful of diapers.
>> when they tweet you and you call them and say, what's the problem? i'll handle it. people are surprised but appreciative. it ignites that spirit within others as well.
>> reporter: booker knows that technology only goes so far. to be a successful politician in any way, a tweet will never replace a hug.
>> you need a hug? thank you so much.
>> that's how it's done in newark . let's take a drive down the shore, about 65 miles south of there, ron allen is in toms river tonight. and, ron, you and i were together last night in point pleasant beach. now you're in toms river , which i would say is kind of the classic middle class , central jersey shore suburb, 80% of us have an aunt hazel. mine lived on jackson avenue in toms river . we used to visit her, go over to the beach. what have you seen in your travels and what are you learning in getting this masters degree on the jersey shore ?
>> reporter: well, first, let me say, i know this place as well, too. i've covered disasters all over the world, but jersey is my home as well. i'm from the northern part of the state, jersey city , montclair. down here, the story is really the destruction that you see that is just really mind-boggling. communities so hard hit that days later, thousands of people haven't been able to even see what happened because they can't come back. authorities are still keeping them out. there's a lot of anger, frustration, a lot of tension because people want to come back in and see what's happened to their homes. they also want to protect their homes. we've been hearing more stories about looting and people concerned about that. we've also heard stories about what people are calling pirates, trying to rob homes in the darkness. there has been progress. there's been power restored to about 1 million homes. but that still means about 40 percent of the state is in the dark. driving around at night is very hazardous. bottom line , people are taking this day by day and not being too concerned about this overwhelming disaster that's here, trying to take it day by day and slowly trying to figure out ways to recover.
>> ron, you're so right about that moving target that, line between order and chaos in a society. ron allen , great work in the field this week covering this awful story. thanks for being with us.

PCI Life Skills Programs, written by Janie Haugen-McLane, are comprised of ten board games that focus on life skills while promoting independence, socialization, and positive behavior. These games feature a total of 1000 questions and practice activities. They are being used by many teachers to guide students in how to become successful in the subject of life.
Proven to be effective for students with special learning and behavioral needs, the games also help students learn how to act at school, at home, and in the community. These games are ideal for self-contained and resource classrooms as well as inclusive teaching settings because no one loses these noncompetitive games.
Game Play & Draw Cards There are two easy-to-play formats for the board games. One features questions on the board and the draw cards, and the other features questions on the draw cards only. Each game has 100 questions. Also included with each game are five blank draw cards so that teachers can customize the game with questions specifically designed for their students.
Teacher's Guide A comprehensive teacher's guide is included with each game. The teacher's guide features all questions along with possible answers. A practice activity to reinforce the content of each question is included to facilitate further learning and discussion. These practice activities can be incorporated into gameplay or used after gameplay to review and reinforce concepts.
Individual Progress Reports Six individual progress reports are included to evaluate student learning on an ongoing basis.
