Fans, Yogi Berra, Bernie Williams say goodbye to Yankee Stadium after 85 years Video.

This is so sad. As a fan of the Denver Broncos and having to say goodbye to Mile High Stadium, I find it sad to see all these icons leaving. Money again wins. :(
Please stop.


Story from AP

By RONALD BLUM – 1 hour ago

NEW YORK (AP) — Even Yogi Berra knew this was the end. As baseball said farewell to Yankee Stadium, one of the game's most beloved players stood beneath the stands in a full vintage uniform. Now 83, the man who coined the phrase "it ain't over till it's over" put his own stamp on the day.

"I'm sorry to see it over, I'll tell you that," Berra said.

The goodbye completed an 85-year-old run for the home of baseball's most famous team. What began with a Babe Ruth home run on an April afternoon in 1923 was likely to end with Mariano Rivera pitching on a September night.

All the greats were remembered, with fans wearing a collection of jerseys that could fill a Hall of Fame. On one subway car alone, there were shirts with Derek Jeter's No. 2, the Babe's No. 3, Mickey Mantle's No. 7, Phil Rizzuto's No. 10 and Don Mattingly's No. 23.

Fans were allowed on the field starting at 1 p.m. and entered through the left-field seats not far from where Aaron Boone's home run landed five years ago.

Glenn Bartow and his 13-year-old daughter arrived more than 12 hours before New York played Baltimore at night, and were the first ones into Monument Park.

"We come every Sunday," Emily Bartow said.

This Sunday was the last.

Study Shows Cell Phone Exposure May Affect Sperm Quality In Men

Cell phones are blamed for everything now days. Please, I think this is rediculous. Everytime I turn on the news I see that cell phones are causing this and that. Brain tumors and low sperm count existed long before cell phones. How they could cause all these maladies just doesn't make sense.

Here is the story on CNN.

(CNN) -- Keeping a cell phone on talk mode in a pocket can decrease sperm quality, according to new research from the Cleveland Clinic.

Cullinan Diamond: Experts Probe 478 CaratDiamond From Lesotho; Could Be World's Largest

Source AHN Staff

Maseru, Lesotho (AHN) - Experts are verifying if a recently mined diamond from the south African country of Lesotho could be the world's largest polished diamond.

The unnamed rough diamond is about 478 carats. Experts believe that a 150 carat polished diamond could be made from the stone, making it the largest in the world.

A similar diamond from the same mine in Lesotho was given a price tag of $12 million but its clearness and round shape may give it higher value.

BBC reported that the Koh-i-noor diamond holds the record for the largest round cut diamond at 105 carats while the biggest diamond to date is the Cullinan diamond, which is included in the British Crown Jewels, at 3,100 carats.

Lesotho has already produced three of the world's biggest diamonds.

The End Of Greed On Wall Street. Is that such a Good Thing?

Greed on Wall Street may finally come to an end. But don't rejoice too fast. We have had Capitalism in place for 200 years. And the gap between the super rich and the
middle class is getting too large. It is like a rubber band. What happens to a rubber
band when it is stretched? It either snaps back or it breaks. With these bold changes we still need to be careful. Capitalism is why we are a wealthy nation. This is why I am terrified to
have a Barack Obama in office. He is a very nice person but, I still believe in
Repulican ideals when it comes to financial plans in this country.

We cannot punish people for making money. There are rules in place and our
corrupt President and Congress has not been enforcing those rules. So, that does not
mean that we go to the democrat ways to get things done. Many in their party have been just
as corrupt as President Bush. What we need is change in a careful, thought out way.
I am happy to see
change but at the same time we need to do this a little more slowly. And we cannot just start punishing anyone who makes money. Money is what made us powerful, like it or not. If corporations do not make money they don't hire workers. This is just a fact. Just because you may not like it,
it is still what keeps us all in jobs. Other countries are gaining ground on us faster than at any other point in history. This could be a turning point.

So, to conclude, we are at a precarious point and we cannot revamp everything on Wall Street just because we are scared. In my view, John McCain has the record of working together with Democrats and Republicans alike. Mr. Obama really sees things the way he always has
and that is way more worrisome than Executives and their golden parachutes.
We cannot lump Capitalism and Special Interets. Those are two totally different things.

Chevy Chase Bank and Credit for Seniors.

Seniors Hit Hard by Financial Crisis

Collapsing home prices, tight credit, dwindling investment income a lethal brew

Collapsing real estate values and an imploding Wall Street are making life uncertain for everyone, but seniors are being hit especially hard.

The economic upheaval has shattered many seniors' retirement plans and, even worse, has cut into the income of many of those who have already retired and has sharply reduced the value of most seniors' primary asset -- their home. Lenders are cutting seniors no slack, as a growing list of complaints to ConsumerAffairs.com illustrates.

"Lost everything when my business failed and now, at 63, working two parttime jobs and getting $563 a month in early retirement pay," said Elwood of Sinking Spring, Pa., who also supports two family members.

Elwood's situation became desperate when he was unable to complete a "short sale" of his home. In a short sale, the buyer pays less than the remaining amount on the seller's mortgage. In some cases, lenders will forgive some or all of the difference but lately, banks have been squeezing consumers for every last cent.

Elwood said he found a buyer for his home but Chase Mortgage rejected the deal and began foreclosure proceedings.

"I am now on anxiety medication, been in the emergency room at the Veterans Administration hospital with panic disorder. I am working for minimum wages just to live," he told ConsumerAffairs.com.
Lethal mixture

The combination of tight credit and falling property values has foiled the plans of seniors who want to stay in their homes but are being forced out by rising interest payments as well as for those who had planned to sell their homes and retired to a warmer or less expensive locale.

It is also forcing many, like Elwood, to stay in the workforce or go back to work. A government study last month found 16.4% of Americans aged 65 or over were still working -- the highest percentage in 38 years.

And, like Elwood, many seniors are having trouble keeping up with their mortgage payments. A study by AARP finds that seniors account for an estimated 28% of all delinquencies and foreclosures. Many more may be on the brink of falling behind on their payments.

In Encino, Calif., a couple in their late 60s put their home on the market after they lost their furniture store business because of the credit crunch. Their realtor, Karin, told ConsumerAffairs.com she presented Chevy Chase Bank with 15 offers, six of them for more than the home's appraised value.

The couple owed $640,000 on their mortgage and the highest offer was $575,000. Karin said that when Chevy Chase rejected the deal, she offered to reduce her commission and the buyer offered to increase the price but "no one at Chevy Chase took notice or cared."

"When I first called to announce a short sale, the person in loss and mitigation told me outright, 'Why don't they just foreclose?'"

In St. Petersburg, Fla., Nancy found a cash buyer willing to pay the full amount of the outstanding loan on her home but she said Chase Mortgage insisted on a $6,800 prepayment penalty.

"Their greediness is taking years off my life," Nancy said. "The company is getting their full amount of the mortgage but are so greedy that they want their extra prepayment penalty. They don't give any alternatives or consideration to their customers."

Consumers 55 and over accounted for nearly a quarter of all bankruptcies last year, another AARP study found, further evidence that for all too many seniors, the golden years are turning to dust.
