instead of buying the ancho chilis and pumpkin seeds and bay leaves seperatly go to your neighborhood hispanic food store and ask for "RELAJO" It has everything you need as far as seasonings goes all in one packet. Just add to blender with roasted tomatoes and Green Peppers for a yummy authentic Salvadorian Sauce. This Sauce can also be used for the Panes con Chumpe or turkey sandwiches. From my experience this sauce always taste better the next day.
Made this recipe multiple times. I broil the green peppers and tomato while I put 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1/2 yellow onion, 1 ancho chile pepper, pumpkin seeds in blender. the skins come right off the tomato when they are done under broiler and I am not to picky on taking the skins off the pepper. I add a little oregano and then blend it. when that is done I season the turkey with season all salt and a little cumin. sear the turkey and put in roasting dish. pour salsa over turkey making sure to cover it all then spoon pimento stuffed green olives over the turkey. drop in 2 bay leaves. cover and cooked turkey amount of time that the packaging it came in said, usually around 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Super moist and super yummy. served over rice with extra sauce or in the turkey curtido sandwich (recipe on this sight). We clean the sauce from our plate with french bread or warm tortillas. Once you get the hang of making the salsa this recipe is quick. You can also marinate the turkey overnight in the sauce. it lets the sauce soak into the turkey a little.
We tried this on a turkey breast to try out the recipe. I had to guess at the amounts, but it made a very delicious tasting turkey. We plan to make it again this Thursday for our "slightly untraditional" Thanksgiving. A bit of work, but very yummy. I used purchased roasted pumpkin seeds - in shells. This time when I shopped, there were ones w/ no shells, but barring opening up a pumpkin, I could not find raw seeds. Thanks for the recipe!

Available for the PS3 and Xbox 360, Amazon has Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for $59.99 – $15 instant savings + $0 S&H = $44.99 shipped! This is the lowest price we've seen for this game EVER.
Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.

text: ANNETTE L HEDQUIST V. DONALD MURPHY JRDownload as PDF S T A T E O F M I C H I G A N C O U R T O F A P P E A L S ANNETTE L. HEDQUIST, Personal Representative of the Estate of ROBERT W. HEDQUIST, deceased, UNPUBLISHED August 13, 1996 Plaintiffâ Appellant/ Cross-Appellee, v No. 180955 LC No. 93-465864 DONALD MURPHY, JR., and EASTMAN INSURANCE AGENCY, INC., Defendantsâ Appellees/ Cross-Appellants. Before: Young, P.J., and Corrigan and Callahan,* JJ. PER CURIAM. In this action for fraudulent misrepresentation involving an insurance contract, plaintiff appeals by right the order granting summary disposition in favor of defendants under MCR 2.116(C)(10). Defendants cross appeal the order denying their motion for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(7). We affirm the grant of summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(10) and thus need not address the denial of the summary disposition motion under MCR 2.116(C)(7). In October, 1987, defendant Donald Murphy, an officer of defendant Eastman Insurance Agency, sold decedent, plaintiffâ s husband, a $500,000 life insurance policy. Jackson National Life Insurance Company (JNL) issued the policy. Decedent signed the policy and tendered a check to JNL. The policy provided that it would become effective as of â the date of completion of the medical or medically related examination(s) required by [JNLâ s] established underwriting rules.â * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1Â Before decedent completed the requisite medical requirements, JNL returned his check to the Eastman Agency because the application materials he had signed were outdated. On November 11, 1987, updated forms were completed and returned to JNL with decedentâ s check. Plaintiff alleged that decedentâ s signature was forged on the second application, which provided that the policy would become effective on its date of issue. On November 17, 1987, JNL again returned decedentâ s check to Eastman. Plaintiff alleged that defendants fraudulently altered and converted decedentâ s check by placing the words â Eastman Agent orâ above the name of the original drawee, JNL, and depositing it into Eastmanâ s account. Defendants claimed that they had decedentâ s permission to do so. When decedentâ s policy was delivered on March 2, 1988, defendants submitted a check to JNL as a premium payment. On November 30, 1989, decedent committed suicide. JNL refused payment to plaintiff and her two children, the beneficiaries. JNL denied payment because the policyâ s terms explicitly precluded payment if death by suicide occurred within two years from the date of issue, March 2, 1988. Plaintiff first filed suit in her individual capacity against Donald Murphy and JNL in circuit court, claiming that they intentionally misled decedent to believe that he was fully insured as of November 11, 1987. Furthermore, plaintiff alleged that Murphy wrongfully converted decedentâ s premium payment and neglected to inform him that he was not insured during the period from application to receipt of the JNL policy. The circuit court granted defendantsâ motion for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(10), finding that plaintiff failed to submit evidence to support her allegations that Murphy was an agent of JNL and that decedent believed himself to be insured at the time of his death. In 1993, plaintiff filed the present suit against defendants Murphy and Eastman. Plaintiff brought her claims of misrepresentation against defendants in her individual capacity and her capacity as representative of decedentâ s estate. Plaintiff alleged that defendants misled decedent to believe that his insurance became effective in November, 1987. The circuit court found that no special relationship existed between decedent and defendants that would excuse decedentâ s failure to read his insurance contract. Hence, decedent was bound by the terms and conditions of his policy, which precluded payment if suicide occurred within two years of the date of issue. This appeal and cross-appeal followed. A motion for summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(10) tests the factual support for a claim. The court gives the benefit of any reasonable doubt to the nonmoving party and determines whether a record might be developed that might leave open an issue upon which reasonable minds could differ. Jackhill Oil Co v Powell Productions, Inc, 210 Mich App 114, 117; 532 NW2d 866 (1995). This Court reviews grants of summary disposition de novo. Id. When reviewing summary disposition under MCR 2.116(C)(10), this Court considers the pleadings, depositions, affidavits, admissions and other documentary evidence available to it. Patterson v Kleiman, 447 Mich 429, 432; 526 NW2d 879 (1994). -2Â Plaintiff argues that the circuit court improperly granted defendantsâ motion for summary disposition because she established a genuine issue of material fact. She asserts that decedent and defendants had a special relationship that excused decedent from reading the terms and conditions of his policy and permitted him to rely on the representations of his insurance agent concerning the effectiveness and scope of his coverage. We disagree. An insurance policy is an agreement between the parties; in ruling on contract issues, a court determines what the agreement was and effectuates the intent of the parties. Auto-Owners Ins Co v Churchman, 440 Mich 560, 566; 489 NW2d 431 (1992). Absent ambiguities, courts enforce insurance contracts as written. Smith v Physicians Health Plan, Inc, 444 Mich 743, 759-760; 514 NW2d 150 (1994). The parties to an insurance contract are obligated to read the contract of insurance, familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions of their coverage, and raise questions concerning coverage within a reasonable time after issuance. Bruner v League General Ins Co, 164 Mich App 28, 31; 416 NW2d 318 (1987). While an insurer or an agent does not have an affirmative duty to advise a client regarding the adequacy of a policyâ s coverage, a duty to advise may arise when a special relationship exists between the policy holder and the insurer or the agent of the insurer. Id. at 31-32. Something more than a standard relationship is necessary to give rise to a duty to advise the insured on the issue of coverage. Id. at 34. Instead, â [t]here must be, in a long-standing relationship, some type of interaction on a question of coverage, with the insured relying on the expertise of the insurance agent to the insuredâ s detriment.â Id. Plaintiff failed to submit sufficient evidence to establish a triable issue regarding the existence of a special relationship that would obligate defendants to advise decedent on the scope of his coverage. In Bruner, supra, this Court contemplated the necessity of an actual exchange of communication between the insurer and the insured on a specific question of coverage to establish the existence of an â interactionâ on a question of coverage. Id. at 34. Plaintiff presented no evidence that decedent inquired of defendants about the effectiveness of his policy or the contestability clause in general. We do not agree with plaintiff that defendantsâ alleged forgery constituted interaction on a question of coverage. Moreover, plaintiff failed to present evidence, beyond her own speculation, to support her allegation that defendants forged decedentâ s signature on his second JNL life insurance application. Speculation and conjecture are insufficient means by which to establish a material fact. Libralter Plastics, Inc v Chubb Group of Ins Cos, 199 Mich App 482, 486; 502 NW2d 742 (1993). Because plaintiff failed to establish a triable issue concerning the existence of a special relationship between decedent and defendants, we affirm the circuit courtâ s grant of summary disposition in defendantsâ favor. Next, defendants cross appeal the circuit courtâ s denial of their motion for summary disposition pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(7) on the issue of res judicata. Given our resolution of the previous issue, we need not address this point. Affirmed. -3Â /s/ Robert P. Young, Jr. /s/ Maura D. Corrigan /s/ Michael J. Callahan -4Â

Several months ago, this author sat at a classical music concert, trying to convince himself that wine is not bullshit.
That may seem like a strange thought to have while listening to Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major. But Priceonomics had recently posted an article investigating The Price of Wine, part of which reviewed research that cast doubt on both consumers' and wine experts' ability to distinguish between quality wine and table wine or identify different wines and their flavors. It seemed a slippery slope to the conclusion that wine culture is nothing more than actors performing a snobbish play.
Listening to an accomplished musician while lacking any musical experience resulted in a feeling familiar to casual wine drinkers imbibing an expensive bottle: Feeling somewhat ambivalent and wondering whether you are convincing yourself that you enjoy it so as not to appear uncultured.
Given the inexplicable, unintuitive conclusions of this research on wine, thinking about classical music promised firm ground to stand on. Despite the influence of class on classical music consumption and the fact that outsiders do not necessarily recognize and enjoy great music performances, no one believes that Beethoven and their 10 year old cousin play the piano equally well. Surely in just the same way a $2,000 bottle of wine and a $5 bottle are not indistinguishable?
This past week, however, Priceonomics reviewed research that cast similar doubt on our ability to appreciate great performances of classical music.
As we wrote in a more recent post, wine is not bullshit. But the reason that research can seemingly suggest that our enjoyment of wine, certain foods, and classical music is BS can tell us a lot about snobbery and how we experience the finer things in life, the limitations of expert judgment in any field, and why marketing is so powerful.
Watching Not Hearing
Chia-Jung Tsay was an extremely talented young pianist. She performed at Carnegie Hall at age 16, attended prestigious conservatories, and competed in music competitions. But her success seemed inconsistent. During auditions, she noticed that she did better when she performed live or provided a video than when she submitted an audio recording.
Tsay could have harbored dark suspicions about the judges for the rest of her life. But today she is also a talented psychologist and an assistant professor in Management Science and Innovation at University College London, so she set up an experiment to examine the role of visual cues in judging musical performances.
Tsay took the actual audition recordings of the top 3 finalists from 10 prestigious international classical music competitions and asked a group of participants to select the winners. One group watched a video audition, the second group listened to an audio recording of the same audition, and a final group watched the video audition with the sound turned off.
As her study participants were untrained in classical music, Tsay expected them to do no better at choosing a winner than random chance. This proved true for the first two groups, who chose the winner less than 33% of the time. But to everyone's surprise, the amateurs did significantly better than chance when watching only a silent video.
Source: PNAS
Tsay then replicated the experiment with professional musicians and found the same results. Despite their expertise, the musicians also did no better than chance at picking the winner based on audio or video recordings. But when they watched a silent video recording, they too performed dramatically better.
Source: PNAS
Expert judges and amateurs alike claim to judge classical musicians based on sound. But Tsay's research suggests that the original judges, despite their experience and expertise, judged the competition (which they heard and watched live) based on visual information, just as amateurs do.
Looking Not Tasting
The key to understanding the aforementioned wine research - without concluding that the entire wine industry is a massive conspiracy powered by snobbery to sell identical fermented grape juice - is that just like with classical music, we do not appraise wine in the way that we expect.
In a follow up to our article on the price of wine, Priceonomics revisited this seemingly damning research: the lack of correlation between wine enjoyment and price in blind tastings, the oenology students tricked by red food dye into describing a white wine like a red, a distribution of medals at tastings equivalent to what one would expect from pure chance, the grand crus described like cheap wines and vice-versa when the bottles are switched.
The research is popular, cited regularly in blog posts and articles that either call wine tasting fraudulent or (more commonly) conclude that when it comes to the enjoyment of wine, price tags and perceived prestige trump the physical product.
To get a grasp on what this means, we related how we see the same confusion with food.
Taste does not simply equal your taste buds. It draws on information from all our senses as well as context. As a result, food is susceptible to the same trickery as wine. Adding yellow food dye to vanilla pudding leads people to experience a lemony taste. Diners eating in the dark at a chic concept restaurant confuse veal for tuna. Branding, packaging, and price tags are equally important to enjoyment. Cheap fish is routinely passed off as its pricier cousins at seafood and sushi restaurants.
Just like with wine and classical music, we often judge food based on very different criteria than what we claim. The result is that our perceptions are easily skewed in ways we don't anticipate.
Judging in a Blink
It's unclear what we should take away from these observations. What does it mean for wine that presentation so easily trumps the quality imbued by being grown on premium Napa land or years of fruitful aging? Is it comforting that the same phenomenon is found in food and classical music, or is it a strike against the authenticity of our enjoyment of them as well? How common must these manipulations be until we concede that the influence of the price tag of a bottle of wine or the visual appearance of a pianist is not a trick but actually part of the quality?
To answer these questions, we need to investigate the underlying mechanism that leads us to judge wine, food, and music by criteria other than what we claim to value. And that mechanism seems to be the quick, intuitive judgments our minds unconsciously make.
In a famous experiment, psychologist Nalini Ambady provided participants in an academic study with 30 second silent video clips of a college professor teaching a class and asked them to rate the effectiveness of the professor. When she compared the ratings to the end of semester ratings of real students, she found her participants had done astoundingly well at rating the professor off an initial impression - there was an extremely strong correlation of 0.76. Participants were just as effective when watching 6 second video clips and when comparing their ratings to ratings of teacher effectiveness as measured by actual student test performance.
The power of intuitive first impressions has been demonstrated in a variety of other contexts. One experiment found that people predicted the outcome of political elections remarkably well based on silent 10 second video clips of debates - significantly outperforming political pundits and predictions made based on economic indicators. Chia-Jung Tsay's analysis of classical musician auditions explicitly drew on this idea by providing participants with only 6 second clips of each performance.

One day after a top Obama administration official deflected a congressman's call for executive action to raise labor standards for contractors, activists Wednesday announced the filing of a new Department of Labor complaint over alleged wage theft in a government building. The complaint alleges that dozens of workers in D.C.'s government-owned Union Station are owed over $3 million in back pay and damages for rampant failure to pay minimum wage or overtime.
It is that time to pause and think about the incredible life and contributions of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., oftentimes referred to as MLK. He was named Michael King Jr. after his father who later changed both their names to Martin Luther, in honor of the religious reformer.
At a press conference today, a bipartisan group of legislators – including by Reps. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), John Conyers (D-Mich.), and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) – will announce the introduction of The Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 in Congress.
Hundreds of Moral Monday demonstrators gathered on the steps of the Capitol this week to protest Governor Nathan Deal's refusal to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than 400,000 people in Georgia will be denied Medicaid coverage by state leaders.
"Healthcare and access to healthcare—preventative services as well as treatment—is a civil right, a human right, and a moral right," Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society and a physician at Grady Hospital, said to WABE 90.1 FM.
Since Jan. 9, when a chemical used to process coal leaked into West Virginia's Elk River, images of beleaguered Charleston residents lining up for bottles of water from National Guard tankers have dominated the headlines. With some restrictions on water use lifted on Jan. 13, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin declared, "We see light at the end of the tunnel."
After drawing thousands of protesters to the state legislature and inspiring the arrests of more than 900 people for nonviolent civil disobedience, North Carolina's Moral Monday movement challenging the extreme conservative agenda of the state's Republican-controlled legislature and administration is gearing up for more actions in 2014.
Winning praise from civil rights advocates, the U.S. Department of Education released new federal guidelines Wednesday aimed at stopping an explosion in student suspensions, expulsions and referrals to the criminal-justice system.
Despite roadblocks by industry and state officials, well water contamination found in four states
The Associated Press has confirmed what residents have long known and the oil and gas industries have sought to hide: the controversial process of hydraulic fracturing, as well as conventional oil and gas drilling, is polluting and contaminating well drinking water supplies.
U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern says the "War on Poverty" has shifted from helping the poor to fighting them.
McGovern, a Democrat who represents the 2nd district, spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives Wednesday about hunger in America and potential cuts to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) in the proposed Farm Bill.
Senator Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Representative Dave Camp (R-Mich.) have officially introduced fast-track trade authority legislation in Congress. Fast track is a process that bypasses Congress' constitutional role in the treaty process. Fast track prohibits amendments to a trade treaty, limits Congress' right to debate and requires an up-or-down vote (even though Senate Republicans have filibustered more than 400 other times since President Obama took office) within 90 days of the treaty coming before the Congress.

1. User Training
Anyone who is going to use moving equipment of any type backstage must be trained to understand the purpose of the equipment and the proper methods of operation.
No one should be allowed to handle any rigging equipment unless they are properly trained.
Many more accidents are caused by untrained users than by faulty equipment.
Operating manuals
on the proper use of stage rigging equipment are available.
2. Motorized Rigging
system is an affordable motorized rigging option designed for use in schools, churches, and theatres providing operational and safety features appropriate for student use. Winches lift the complete load simply and reliably without the need for counterbalancing the load with steel weights. The movement of scenery on stage is controlled by an automated
console, enabling the movements to be recorded and replayed as needed.
3. Loading Gallery (bridge)
Every counterweight system requires a loading gallery, or bridge. Loads are added to or removed from the "batten" when it is at floor level. When the batten is at floor level, the counterweight arbor is at its highest level. To balance the load on the batten, weight is added to or removed from the counterweight arbor. In order to do this, there must be a loading gallery.
Without a loading gallery it is difficult to safely balance rigging sets.
4. SureLock Rope Lock
rope lock incorporates a load sensing mechanism, and can tell if a counterweight set is more than 50 lbs. out of balance. If the set is out of balance, the SureLock cannot be opened; preventing "runaway" rigging sets. However, using a SureLock will not solve the problems created by the lack of a loading gallery.
5. Annual Inspection
Your stage rigging system should be inspected annually by a rigging specialist. We suggest using rigging dealers who are members of the "Entertainment Services & Technology Association" (ESTA). This is a nonprofit trade association whose members meet membership requirements and subscribe to a Code of Conduct.

TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals
The White Sox earned their first three-game sweep at Kauffman Stadium since their championship season in 2005 beating Kansas City 4-3 in 12 innings on Conor Gillaspie's solo home run. The ball bounced up over the wall and looked like it may have been ruled a double but no one disputed it as Gillaspie rounded the bases. "I don't know exactly what happened on that but at least he scored" Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "I think it's a homer probably an inside-the-park homer. That's good. It's good to be able to hang in there and win late." The Sox won their final six games of the seven-game road trip with Addison Reed saving all six becoming the first reliever to save six straight games for a team since the Dodgers' Eric Gagne in 2003. "We've had a rough go for most of the year" Ventura said. "This is a stretch we've played well and he's had a lot to do with it. He's going in pretty much every game. We'd have liked to have stayed away from him tonight but the way it's

Eyes on the prize
Ten standard airbags and cool tech toys make the 2013 Chevrolet Trax safe and technologically up-to-date.
This new Chevy has car-ma sutra-like abilities. With eight different seating configurations to test out, there's a comfortable position to fit all your gear, and more…
With the success of the Cruze, Sonic and Spark, Chevrolet is hoping that the 2013 Trax will enjoy the same. Does it have the substance to do so? Only time will tell, but if the prototype vehicles that I took for a spin are any indication, they're on the right track. Or should I say, Trax?!
Making Trax worldwide
The 2013 Chevrolet Trax is a global car on multiple levels. It was designed and engineered as a collaborative effort, literally. North American, Korean and European teams were assigned to the project to make sure that the needs of local markets were being met -- it's expected be sold in 140 of them.
What does the tailoring process include? Well, adjustments to steering, the suspension and tires will all be relative to each market's location.
In Canada, we can expect both front-wheel and all-wheel drive models.
Regardless of which one you choose, they're all matched to Chevrolet's 1.4L, turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine and will have an output of 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed manual transmission comes standard on the LS model, while the LT and LTZ models are matched with a 6-speed automatic.
Having only had the opportunity to test the automatic 2013 Chevrolet Trax, it's pretty darn good. And for braving the gridlock traffic known as "rush hour" in San Francisco, it's quite a blessing in disguise! Not to mention the hills that make up the city's geography. Luckily, the Trax won't leave you in a bind when stopped on a slant; it comes standard with Hill Start Assist (HSA).
Size matters
This five-seater 2013 Chevrolet Trax is the smallest SUV that the North American automaker produces. And with people wanting large-vehicle functionality, but in a small package, the Trax offers that.
Using up all that large-vehicle space is not hard to do. There are storage bins galore inside, not to mention a cargo capacity of 1,370 litres, with the rear seats folded down. Additionally, the 2013 Trax has car-ma sutra-like abilities to fold its seats into different seating positions. There are eight in total, so should you want to use the 60/40 split configuration, or fold the front passenger's seat flat to fit a longer item, go for it! There are also storage spaces under the floor mats for whatever your heart desires.
Looking into the future
The 2013 Chevrolet Trax has yet to arrive in Canada, but looking inside its cabin and experiencing it firsthand is fairly impressive. Having tested both the LT and LTZ trims there's a commonality between them, and I'm not talking about the engine!
Over the last few years, GM has really upped the ante with their interior composition. Embracing the concept of "Surface Drama" -- that's the design philosophy implemented here -- I was impressed with the various tones and textures found throughout the cabin. They meshed well together and they looked good.
While the prototypes weren't 100% perfect when it came to fit and finish, I would expect that the production models will be when they start showing up on the streets.
What I liked about the interior of the 2013 Chevrolet Trax is the utilization of the twin cockpit theme, also embraced by the Sonic and Spark. There's the big instrument cluster in front of the driver, and to the right on the centre stack are the rest of the tech and climate goodies.
Hey, check me out!
Throughout my drive route, I caught people checking out the 2013 Chevrolet Trax. Perhaps it's the bold lines, big wheels (you can get 18-inchers on the upper trims) or even the flashy chrome bits around the exterior that have fellow motorists inquisitive.
The front end features twin port openings bridged by the Chevy bowtie. Wheel arches are pushed out to the corners to add a little aggression to the mix. Furthermore, the front and rear silver-painted skid plates show off its SUV DNA.
And helping show of its sportier side, the five-spoke wheels are similar to that of the Camaro.
Drive time
It's a quiet and comfortable ride behind the wheel of the 2013 Chevrolet Trax. While I think its suspension needs a little more fine-tuning -- it was a little too soft for my liking -- I'm curious to see how the final product will feel. That doesn't mean it couldn't handle the curvy roads that garnish the Northern California topography (Lucas Valley Road, in particular) I just would have preferred a little less bounce in its step.

Pricing has yet to be announced for the all new 2013 Chevrolet Trax.

Zipcar says MTA's mass EZ pass seizure was a "payment issue" on Friday they thought was fixed "but we learned today that it was not."
Spokeswoman Lindsay Wester told me, "On Friday, Zipcar attempted to correct a payment issue with our E-ZPass account. We had reason to believe it had been fixed, but we learned today that it was not. We are offering any member whose E-ZPass transponder was confiscated by MTA staff a full refund on their reservation, and compensation for whatever fines they were required to pay because of the situation.
We are attempting to notify members with reservations tomorrow to use the cash lanes, while we wait for E-ZPass to reactivate their transponders located in our cars, which we expect Monday at the latest. We have taken steps to ensure this issue will not happen again. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our members by this payment platform issue."

There are gouge marks in the drywall at the Four Barrel coffee shop in San Francisco where patrons have tried to plug their chargers into the fake electrical outlets the store spraypainted on the walls as a joke. Store owner Jeremy Tooker wanted to create a place where people hang out and talk to each other instead of just working on their laptops, so the tables are very shallow, bringing customers nearly face to face, and he intentionally didn't provide Wi-Fi or outlets. Four Barrel is one of the coffee shops I interviewed in my latest article for NBCNEWS.com, "Indie coffee shops evict Wi-Fi squatters."

Pintchik Hardware selling off its LED sign
Passed by Pintchik Hardware and saw they're selling off their LED sign, whose oddball messages have been a part of Flatbush Ave Brooklyn history for years. Waiting for a call back to see how much it's going for. At one point, a radio show did a thing where passersby could as "the Oracle" a question and get a zippy answer in response. A 2003 New Yorker article suggested the Oracle was actually Jonathan Safran Foer, author of "Everything is Illuminated." I've emailed his literary agent to see if he wants to buy it. The store isn't getting out of the light-emitting diode missive biz, though, the sign also says its to make way for an upgraded version.

There are now officially two democratic candidates in the 2014 race.
The six-year state senator knows she has a long road ahead of her as a democratic candidate in a predominately red state, but she said it's her legislative experience that will set her apart.
"As far as understanding what the issues are that we've been dealing with in the legislature," she said. "Whether it's the budget process, policy, how things work, how you bring people together to get things done.
Dubas said as she begins her statewide tour, she'll focus on property taxes and access to healthcare.

Chelsea boss Benitez lauds Torres after 3-1 victory over Rubin Kazan
4/5/13 in Soccer | KurtKingsley | 1858 respect
Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez lauded Fernando Torres after the forward bagged a brace in Chelsea's 3-1 victory in the Europa League quarterfinal stage over Rubin Kazan at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
Fernando Torres scored in both halves of the game to give Rafael Benitez's side a huge advantage before Chelsea's trip to Moscow for the second-leg of the Europa League tie.
"It's good for his confidence," Rafael Benitez said. "His work-rate was really good. I'm pleased for him. I have said before, he's training well. It was a question of time. He scored two goals today and hopefully it will be the same in the next game."
Chelsea played brilliantly throughout the game with only one sour moment to account for when Blues captain John Terry gave away a penalty kick. John Terry was penalized for ball-handling inside the box just before half-time.
John Terry believes the penalty kick decision on him was quite harsh since it was a well-hit shot. Rafael Benitez agreed with John Terry and was disappointed to lose the chance of keeping a clean-sheet.
"When someone has a shot 10 yards away it is difficult to get out of the way," John Terry told ESPN. "I had my arms down by my side. (The referees' interpretation) is different all around the world. We need to set the record straight all around.
"It's different if my arms are up, but when your arms are down by your side - it's difficult."
Chelsea were dominating Rubin Kazan with Victor Moses scoring Chelsea's second goal, before Bibras Natcho scored through the spot-kick. Rafael Benitez admitted he was thoroughly impressed with the performance by his side, especially Fernando Torres.
"It was a good job. We were in control - 3-1 is not bad, but could be better," Rafael Benitez said. "It (the penalty decision) was harsh, but these decision you have to carry on and get third goal. We did it and we were hoping for a fourth goal.
"We didn't have any problems and then created our own problem. I think we have enough quality for the second leg. It will be more difficult. They will be attacking more but I think we have the quality."
Meanwhile, John Terry prepares to return to the ground where he missed the penalty kick that would have won Chelsea the Champions League trophy in 2008. The former England skipper will be reminded of the horrors at Luzhniki Stadium when he travels for the second-leg of the Europa League tie.
John Terry has asked him teammates not to underestimate Rubin Kazan and remain vigilant until the end of the game.
"They've got some danger going forward," John Terry said. "The pitch will be difficult and the weather. The tie is certainly not over."

Sri Lanka urges India to review Geneva stand
New Delhi/Colombo, March 20 (IANS) Sri Lanka Tuesday urged India to review its stand on the 'war crimes' resolution against it in Geneva, after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said his government was inclined to vote for it.
Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister Gamini Peiris telephoned his Indian counterpart S.M. Krishna to make the request, said government sources.
Peiris said Colombo hoped that India will assess its request favourably in view of the 'excellent bilateral relations' between the two countries.
Krishna alluded to strong sentiments expressed by various parties over the issue in Indian parliament and said the two sides will remain engaged over it. He did not give any commitment.
Sri Lanka is bitterly opposed to the US-sponsored resolution at the UN Human Rights Council calling on Colombo to address issues of alleged human rights violations during its civil war that ended in 2009.
According to The New York Times, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa is mobilising support from leaders in Asia, Africa and Latin America to fight the resolution.
Peiris called the resolution 'strikingly divisive and polarizing'.
In New Delhi, amid pressure from coalition ally DMK, Manmohan Singh reiterated in parliament that India was inclined to vote for the resolution over Sri Lanka's 'war crimes' and hoped it will ensure the Tamil community 'equality, justice and self-respect'.
'As regards the issue of a draft resolution initiated by the US at the ongoing 19th Session of HRC in Geneva, we do not yet have the final text of the resolution,' Manmohan Singh told the Rajya Sabha.
'However, I may assure the House that we are inclined to vote in favour of a resolution,' he said. He made a similar statement in the Lok Sabha Monday.
AIADMK members, however, demanded that the prime minister commit himself to take up the issue of 'war crimes' by Sri Lankan military against Tamil civilians when the Tamil Tigers were crushed in 2009.
Four amendments were moved by AIADMK and the Communist Party of India (CPI). The AIADMK insisted on voting even as it was in a minority on the issue as the DMK was supporting government.
The amendments were defeated with 84 of the 94 members present voting for the government after members from the Left and NDA walked out.
India's move towards voting against Sri Lanka has come in for sharp criticism in the Sri Lankan media.
'India continues to blow hot and cold about the US resolution against Sri Lanka in Geneva,' the Island said in an editorial.
'It was only the other day that the Indian government made it very clear that it was opposed to any country-specific resolution at the UNHRC,' it said.
While berating New Delhi for 'running with the hare and hunting with the hounds', the daily praised Tamil weekly 'Thuglak' editor and MP Cho S. Ramaswamy.
'Ramaswamy has rightly pointed out that in moving the anti-Sri Lanka resolution, the US has not been driven by any love for human rights,' the daily said.
Ramaswamy, it said, had raised a pertinent question. 'Suppose the US or some other country sponsors a similar resolution tomorrow on Kashmir. Are we going to honour it?'
The Daily Mirror said the Indian decision 'has seriously impeded the country's efforts to defeat the resolution' in Geneva.
It said the Indian decision had sent a message to those countries which were on the fence. 'Hence it could erode Sri Lanka's vote base'.

Routers are used to allow multiple computers to connect to either wired or wireless networks. There are three common standards for routers: "b," "g," or "n." Wireless G routers are still commonly found in homes and offices, though Wireless N routers have faster speeds and can cover a longer distance. A router that is not secured with a password leaves the network -- servers, computers and private data -- open for intruders. You can password-protect a router using the Wi-Fi protected access, WPA2 or wired equivalent privacy protocols. WPA2 provides the best security, but some older routers only support WPA and WEP. Setting a password on a Linksys Wireless G router can be done through the router administration Web page.
Launch a Web browser and type "192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) into the address bar.
Press "Enter."
Related Reading: How to Set up a Linksys Router on a Computer
Leave the User Name field blank and type "admin" as the password. Click "OK" to sign in to the Linksys router administration page.
Click the "Wireless" tab and select "Wireless Security." Select WPA2 as the security mode and select "TKIP+AES" as the algorithm.
Enter a password for the network in to the WPA Shared Key field. The password should be made up of either 64 hexadecimal characters or eight to 63 printable characters.
Click "Save Settings" to secure your network with a password.
- If your router does not support WPA2, choose "WPA Personal" from the drop-down menu. Choose "AES" or "TKIP" from the options, depending on your preferences.
- If you want to set up a password to log in to the router itself, navigate to the administration page, click "Administration" and select "Management." Enter a new password into the Router Password and confirmation fields, and click "Save Settings."

While a lot of attention was focused on Gov. John Hickenlooper's work to successfully negotiate an agreement to spare us from four competing ballot initiatives on fracking, four other ballot initiatives have made their way onto our November ballot.
The topics range from personhood to gambling to open meetings to food labeling. In a somewhat refreshing twist, two of the four proposals are initiated laws instead of amendments to our state constitution.
Editor's note: This column is the fourth installment in a five-part series that looks at the divisiveness in the U.S. Congress and offers possible solutions.
The conventional wisdom, especially among Republicans, is that the news operations at the major networks favor the Democrats. It's subtle, they say, but the stories they cover and the questions they ask show their left leaning.

When metro area voters were being asked to extend the sales tax that had been established to build Coors Field in 1998 so a new football stadium could be built to replace aging Mile High Stadium for the Broncos, the polling showed something fascinating. One of the biggest obstacles to passage of the proposal was voters' personal animosity toward Broncos owner Pat Bowlen.
Thanks for memorial bench
A beautiful memorial bench in honor of Laurie Roe now sits in downtown Evergreen right outside Bear Creek Hair. Thanks to all those who generously donated money and time to make this a reality.
Special thanks to the Ross Lewis Trust, Jake and Mary Jacobs, Terri and Gary Carroll, and Don and Michelle Beaglehole. The remaining funds from the memorial account will be donated to the Elks Lodge. We hope everyone will stop by, sit on the bench and enjoy the beautiful garden.
Editor's note: This column is the third installment in a four-part series looking at the divisiveness in the U.S. Congress and offering possible solutions.
I ask you to imagine that you are thinking about running to become a legislator, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Perhaps you have had a successful career, and you want to "give back" by serving your home district and your country. It's a "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" thought you are having.

Stunning Subway & Underground Stations from Around the World
Subways don't have to be ugly or utilitarian — in fact, underground stations house some of the most gorgeous and creative architectural design around. Follow me after the jump and let's take a look at some jaw dropping railway stations from around the world.
With a creative use of color, texture, light, and material, these otherwise claustrophobic spaces have been transformed into site-specific works of art. Here are a few beauties that I'd love to visit one day. There are just so many interesting undergrounds to experience that it's hard to choose only a few.
Marienplatz Station, Munich, Germany
Kiyevskaya Station - Koltsevaya Line Hall, Moscow, Russia
Westfriedhof Station, Munich, Germany
Elektrozavodskaya Station, Moscow, Russia
Drassanes Station, Barcelona, Spain
Formosa Boulevard Station, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Arts et Métiers Station, Paris, FranceWhich Undergrounds are your favorites? To see some more gorgeous undergrounds, check out io9 for the compilation they've put together.

I've been in a surprisingly large number of these stations. In real life the Marienplatz station is not nearly as stunning as it might look in pictures. This is what it looks like when you are actually standing by the tracks: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/M%C3%BCnchen_Marienplatz.jpg
Some of the Paris stations look really amazing, but a lot of them are covered in posters and graffiti.
The Barcelona station looks straight out of the new Star Trek reboot!
they all look great, but what do they smell like?
The German stations look very Sprockets to me. ;-)
I love the Paris Metro stations. Some of them are stunning. The London Underground are not cool and groovy but they are abundant and efficient.
What I find disappointing are the US subways. Oh sure, Washington DC has some nice stations and lines and Boston seems to know what it's doing. But NYC? Horrible. Chicago? Disappointing. Philadelphia is promising. In general, the US has completely ignored public transportation. It's a shameful legacy for the US. That and the dearth of universal high speed broadband is rapidly making the US a second class country.
Last year, I went to Russia and took a tour of the Moscow subway stations. They are beautiful and worth seeing if you ever go to Moscow. As for the question by EdmundD as to how the undergrounds smell, Moscow smelled fine to me. The stations were clean, just as they appear in the photos above. But then again, I'm a NYer and take the subway regularly, plus have been in the London and Rome underground. Air ventilation is much better than it used to be in underground stations, but if you aren't used to it, you'd probably be more sensitive to it than a regular user.
Ugliest subway stations= NYC
Smelliest subway stations=NYC
As of about 15 years ago, Seoul had some interesting stations.
In London, I have a fondness for a lot of the older stations, especially the ones that give a hint of what they were like when they were first built.
Moscow has the most beautiful, dramatic stations - the saying is that the stations are like palaces. Well worth an excursion if you ever get to Moscow.
Stockholm's subway is often called the world's longest art gallery as it has had a policy of letting artists loose on it's stations since the '50s.
Here's a twisted sifter post that has a bunch of great photos of Stockholm's stations http://twistedsifter.com/2012/05/stockholm-metro-worlds-longest-art-gallery/
How about Syntagma Station in Athens?
@ sfgirl - I think the complete saying is that metro stations are palaces for the people.
A few years ago, I was in a subway station in Budapest. They had like the fastest escalators...I wish they had one of those in NYC too. Escalator in NYC is painfully slow for most Nykers...I guess it has something to do with law suits, etc.
God these are all so much better than San Fran's BART. And pretty much anything is better than the NYC subway stations. Oh, to live in a country that values public transit more than the US!
Moscow stations are some of the most beautiful in the world. Even the simple bare ones, the ones at the end of the lines, are well ventilated, clean and still very charming. The ones in the center are decked out a bit more, each with its own particular charms. There's even one that has statues of dogs where the noses have been rubbed down to whatever metal they are made out of because people consider it good luck to give them a rub on the nose. For a while the police would harass you if they caught you taking photos but they seem to have calmed down a bit in that respect.
Our subway stations in Toronto are soooo boring - I can definitely appreciate these.
Toronto's are dull, dull, dull. And the lines (2) don't cover the city like they should. NYC's smell and are ugly; but, they cover the city and get you where you need to go.
The subway stations in Tashkent, Uzbekistan give Moscow's a run for their money. The only thing is it is illegal to take pictures of them.
What do they smell like?..LOL what a weirdo..
These are amazing. People should check out the really beautifully preserved old City Hall station in NYC: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/10/the-hidden-abandoned-city_n_781669.html#s179141
And when I lived in DC, I worked for awhile at an office near the Archives/Navy Memorial station, which had a portion of a Whitman poem ("Prayer of Columbus") etched on the wall near the escalators. It always seemed to me to be a kind of magical hidden gem in an otherwise unremarkable station.
For those metro aficionados who haven't already done so, check out various of the Pyongyang stops: http://www.flickr.com/photos/91057659@N00/219089281/in/photostream/
These subway stations are amazing!
I like in Edmonton, AB (Canada) and our stations may not smell (likely due to the low population and the fact that they're newer) but our stations are quite dull and there's only one line. The city isn't known for great public transportation.
Prague's metro stations are beautiful. The oldest line has sober white marble, but the newer ones of variously colored anodized aluminum dot panels, which are pretty cool.
And in the late '80s, in a brotherly exchange between communist comrades, the Soviets designed and built one Prague metro station, while the Czechs reciprocated in Moscow. The station used to be called the Moscow Station, but now it has gone back to its original name, Angel Square. It is lined with pink marble in typical Russian over-the-top style.
It's fun to have memories of almost all the metro stations mentioned here! (I'm familiar with all except for the ones in South Korea and Taiwan).
London stations are pretty great and varied, but a complete maze to get through. I lived there for a while and it took me several weeks just to figure out what entrance to walk out of.
Paris stations, fo me, are the absolute best.
Almost all of the station in Montréal, Québec, are works of art (at least those taht have not been defaced by Phillistine taste).
I had forgotten about those escalators in Budapest, but now that you've reminded me, they are super scary to get on and off. Awesome though.
I'm glad someone mentioned the City Hall station in New York. NYC subways actually have a lot of nice details if you look for them, they've just mostly been allowed to rot. It's too bad really.
I live in Moscow and the stations are almost all pretty remarkable. They are clean because they close every night for a good scrubbing, and the only smell -- most of the time -- is of the particular machine oil they use on the escalators. Those escalators really zip, like the ones in Prague and Budapest. I remember the Prague ones had the same machine oil smell -- probably because the Soviets helped to build them.
City Hall subway station in New York City is the most stunning station in the entire subway system of that city. It has been closed to the public for year.
Toronto's Museum subway station has the most impressive look in the entire subway system of that city. Mesoamerican statues are at platform level, making it look like you're entering an Aztec temple in Mexico.
It's worth pointing out to everyone who is griping about the state of NYC's subway stations that a) most of these subway systems are not quite as extensive and b) the NYC Subway is one of the few in the world that is open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Most public transportation systems close at some point during the night, allowing for easier upkeep. NYC has to close stations or lines when they want to do serious work, which leads to more complains because people are so dependent on it to get anywhere. But can you imagine if the MTA suddenly announced that service would end at 1 AM? There'd be riots.
They're also getting better. The newer stations, like the new Smith/9th Street in BK, are more innovative looking.
Check out these stops in Seoul.
I was thinking more 2001: A Space Odyssey than Star Trek, but either way I'm afraid I'd get confused by all the white surfaces and walk into a wall!

Chef Provocateur Craig Thornton On the Art of Underground Dining
"The opening dish is venison, ripped apart and strewn onto the plate to look like a bloody and decayed piece of meat," says Craig Thornton of the visceral food he will be serving up at Cut Your Teeth, the collaborative installation made with artist Matthew Bone that opens today at the Santa Monica Museum of Art. "You are eating something that looks eerily similar to a deer carcass, but the dish itself includes moss, blackberry beet gastrique, coffee cocoa crumble and purple cabbage." Armed with a range of culinary experience—from learning his trade at Thomas Keller's Las Vegas bistro Bouchon to becoming Nicholas Cage's private chef—and having recently received profiles in The New Yorker and Hollywood Reporter, the man behind culinary sensation Wolvesmouth is captured here by filmmaker Jordan Bahat in a Downtown Los Angeles loft during one of his monthly conceptual dinners. "The Santa Monica installation is the first foray into a direction I've wanted to take Wolvesmouth for a long time," says Thornton, who will be working with art impresario Jeffrey Deitch when Cut Your Teeth moves to New York. "It is a snapshot of everything we push away to keep this perfect idealized box of what we think reality is, leaving a lot of people devoid of knowing where their food comes from."
Cut Your Teeth runs at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, October 16 through October 26 and in New York City November 7 through December 14.
Existential Conversations Between the Multimedia Artist and Her Fluorescent Friends
Milanese artist Paola Pivi's vivid polar bears ask profound life questions in an excerpt of Ivan Olita's playful short that continues our Week of Art. L'Officiel Italia's Editor-at-Large channels the subconscious of Pivi's brightly colored sculptures, taking on the role of filmmaker and ventriloquist at Parisian art dealer Emmanuel Perrotin's Madison Avenue outpost, where the works are currently on show. "It's definitely more interesting talking to a bear than talking to me," says Olita. "I felt they had so many things to ask Paola, their creator." In the past, her animal-inspired installations have variously included a leopard borrowed from a German magician, a pair of zebras in the snowy Alaskan wilderness and an all-white menagerie of horses, cows, ducks and llamas in a warehouse space at the Venice Biennale. Presently residing in India, Pivi lived in Anchorage, Alaska until earlier this year. It is a locale reflected in the form of the feathered neon bears made from urethane foam and plastic on display at the New York exhibition Ok, you are better than me, so what?—so named, says the artist, to provide an "interesting sentence in our competitive society."
Do you know any stories about bears?
Paola Pivi: An old Inuit tale: Do you know why polar bears are even more dangerous on the ice? Because they cover their nose with their white paw so you only see two black spots, the eyes. It means that you do not recognize them anymore because usually you tell them from seeing three black spots in the snow.
Do you have any animals of your own?
PP: There was a dog in Alaska who clearly had as much feeling for me as I did for her, but my husband said we could not keep her—if we went to the supermarket, locked her in the car and went shopping, it would not fair on her.
What has been your favorite animal to work with?
PP: Definitely zebras. They just posed for me.
The Japanese Neo-Dadaist Makes a Slow-Mo Splash
A paean to eternal themes of love, sacrifice and the enduring pull of the creative process, Zachary Heinzerling makes his filmmaking debut with Cutie and the Boxer, a meditative observation of painter and boxer Ushio Shinohara. This exclusive sequence, shot on a Phantom camera, shows Ushiro pummeling the glass 'canvas' with affecting vigor. The former enfant terrible moved to New York from his native Japan in 1969 in search of international recognition that has never quite materialized. In the Sundance-fêted documentary, Heinzerling captures the Octogenarian and his long-suffering wife and de facto assistant Noriko preparing for their first joint exhibition: Ushio will present a selection of his 'box paintings'––Jackson Pollock-inspired abstractions created by hurling paint-covered boxing gloves across a massive canvas, and Noriko, a showcase a series of witty illustrations entitled "Cutie and the Bullie," which satirize their turbulent 40-year-old marriage. "Ultimately, my goal was to absorb the audience in the raw spirit and beauty that emanates from the couple," explains Heinzerling. "To open a door onto the creative and very private world where the rhythms of the Shinoharas's lives play out." The result is an intimate tapestry of a challenging partnership, cemented by a bond that transcends their various artistic and financial impediments.
Cutie and the Boxer hit cinemas in the US this weekend, and will premiere in Europe November 1.

Yenikolka is a young fashion label founded two years ago by the German girls Carolin Wohlleber and Lena Deuring. Their work, describing it in only two words, is simply unique and unconventional. Their latest collection for Spring/Summer 2012 is a world of contrasts: although black is the main colour, the combination of materials and the unusual cuts have an incredible effect which flatters the feminine body. I first saw their work at the Projektgalerie of the last Berlin Fashion Week when I started my work placement with their distributor 100UND1 and I was immediately impressed.

Medicare Part D: Complex Coverage
Doctors Delve Into Medicare Part D Plans and Find What's Needed -- More or Less
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
WebMD Health News
June 19, 2007 -- Having trouble figuring out Medicare Part D? You're in good company. Even doctors need help navigating Medicare's prescription formularies, a new study shows.
But the study also shows that if doctors dig deeply enough, they'll likely find at least one widely covered drug in Medicare's most commonly used prescription drug classes.
The study, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, comes from five experts, including Chien-Wen Tseng, MD, MPH, of Honolulu's Pacific Research Health Institute.
Since everyone on Tseng's team has an MD or PhD degree, you might think they would sift through Medicare Part D plans in a jiffy. But their task was no cakewalk.
In fact, the researchers conclude that there ought to be an interactive tool telling doctors which drugs are widely covered by Medicare.
Medicare Part D
There are plenty of plans offering Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits, and each plan's formulary -- the list of covered drugs -- may be different.
"Many states have more than 50 Part D plans," write Tseng and colleagues. That's a lot of formularies to wade through, so Tseng's team focused on Medicare Part D formularies in California and Hawaii.
Why those two states? California ranks No. 1 among states for the number of Medicare beneficiaries and No. 4 for the most Medicare Part D plans. Hawaii is closer to the other end of those two lists.
The researchers didn't analyze all drugs covered by Medicare. Instead, they focused on eight classes of drugs for three common conditions: high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, and depression.
Specifically, the eight drug classes are:
- ACE inhibitors for high blood pressure
- ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers) for high blood pressure
- Beta-blockers for high blood pressure
- Calcium-channel blockers for high blood pressure
- Loop diuretics for high blood pressure
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for depression
- Statins for high cholesterol
- Thiazide diuretics for high blood pressure
All in all, the researchers tracked 75 prescription drugs in the California and Hawaii formularies.
Medicare Drug Coverage
Tseng and colleagues counted the number of formularies with widely covered drugs in those eight drug classes.
They defined "widely covered" drugs as drugs covered by at least 90% of plan formularies and with co-payments of $35 or less.
The researchers trolled through 72 California plans and 43 Hawaii plans.
They write that the "formularies varied substantially; however, all but one treatment class [ARBs] had one or more widely covered drugs at low co-payments," with similar findings in California and Hawaii.
Widely covered drugs tended to be generic drugs, the study shows. But that doesn't mean that all generic drugs were widely covered or low in cost.
Call for Help
Formularies change over time, note Tseng and colleagues.
They write that "if this type of coverage information were made available in interactive fashion via a web site, personal digital assistant-based tool, or e-prescribing software, clinicians could use this knowledge" in selecting medications for Medicare patients.
That doesn't mean that widely covered drugs should automatically be used.
"Clearly," write the researchers, "there will be situations in which a noncovered or higher cost-sharing drug is the more appropriate clinical choice for individual patients."
They add that "the convenience of prescribing a widely covered drug should not take precedence over discussing with patients any greater clinical benefits from less well-covered or more expensive drugs."

Reid Admits He Became Too Involved In Personnel Decisions With Eagles
Andy Reid was in Philadelphia this weekend and he was answering questions about football.
Andy Reid Compliments Kansas City Media, Says Chiefs Fans Are Best In NFL
Andy Reid's first season in Kansas City as head coach of the Chiefs started with a bang, and ended with a thud.
Snake-bit Chiefs Fall Short As Defense Fails Repeatedly In Second-half Collapse
The Kansas City Chiefs lost an eighth-straight postseason game on Saturday, losing 45-44 to the Indianapolis Colts after holding a 28-point lead in the third quarter.
NFL Teams Facing Thousands Of Unsold Playoff Tickets, Eagles Sold Out
Eagles playoff game sells out, but Packers, Bengals and Colts still thousands of tickets away.
Eagles Fans Say Chip Kelly Is A Better Coach Than Andy Reid
In his first season in the NFL, Chip Kelly has the Eagles at 6-5 and in first place in the NFC East, something not many people expected. Kelly is starting to win over Philadelphia.
Suicide Watch Week 7
There have only been five teams in the league you can count on for survival. And I mean really count on. They rarely make you sweat, and when they do it's only a temporary perspiration until they regain control of the game. These teams are the Broncos, Chiefs, Patriots, Seahawks and Saints.
Andy Reid Still Needs To Do A Better Job
Philadelphia is having a good time with Chip Kelly. After losing three straight, the Eagles have won two in a row, are scoring points, and everyone seems to be happy with the Eagles head coach at the moment.
Alex Henery Fined $15k For Horse-Collar Tackle
Eagles kicker Alex Henery has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for a horse-collar tackle in Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Connor Barwin: 'I'm Not A Fan Of The Thursday Night Game'
The Eagles were the first team in NFL history to open up the season with three games in 11 days. The last of the three, a Thursday night loss to the Chiefs, was a particularly sloppy effort from the Eagles, featuring five turnovers.
Andy Reid Unanimously Approved By Chiefs Fans
If there was a poll taken of Andy Reid's approval ratings during the last days of his final season with the Eagles, you can almost certainly be assured that it would have been very low. Even Reid's biggest supporters couldn't have approved of the 4-12 records, and one of the ugliest seasons in team history.
For Kelly, Offense's Fix Is About More Than Vick
Chip Kelly was direct, accountable and right now seems very patient in dealing with the media and something new Kelly very rarely had to deal with at Oregon—losing.
Are Defenses Faking Injuries To Slow Down Eagles?
It's almost impossible to prove, and it seems almost impossible to police. But it started during the opener against Washington, and it seems as if it's continued ever since.
Gold Stars And Demerits: Eagles Vs. Chiefs
Andy Reid returned to Lincoln Financial Field last night, and brought the 2012 Eagles with him.

Andy Reid cleared his throat, uttered some familiar phrases and downplayed his return to Philadelphia.
