ESPN.com: CC Sabathia could still opt out
Sabathia, who had knee surgery this offseason, said he is 25 pounds lighter after he stopped eating full boxes of Cap’n Crunch. The 6-foot-7 Sabathia had reported to past camps well over 300 pounds. With the assist of a trainer and a chef, he has an eye on the future.
When I was in college, I loved eating Cap’n Crunch and Crunch Berries, but I found the cereal so abrasive that if ate too much it, my mouth would feel too raw. It’s sort of a built-in limiting factor. I can’t imagine how CC Sabathia managed to eat a box of it at a time.
TechCrunch.com: Detroit Needs A Statue of RoboCop! Best Kickstarter Project Yet.
Awesome! They’re using Kickstarter to try to raise $50,000 for a statue of RoboCop in Detroit. They’re over a third of the way there.
Maybe they’ll be able to put it near the Stargate that I saw during a trip a couple of weeks ago.

The New Yorker: Lower Costs and Better Care for Neediest Patients
The critical flaw in our health-care system that people like Gunn and Brenner are finding is that it was never designed for the kind of patients who incur the highest costs. Medicine’s primary mechanism of service is the doctor visit and the E.R. visit. (Americans make more than a billion such visits each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control.) For a thirty-year-old with a fever, a twenty-minute visit to the doctor’s office may be just the thing. For a pedestrian hit by a minivan, there’s nowhere better than an emergency room. But these institutions are vastly inadequate for people with complex problems: the forty-year-old with drug and alcohol addiction; the eighty-four-year-old with advanced Alzheimer’s disease and a pneumonia; the sixty-year-old with heart failure, obesity, gout, a bad memory for his eleven medications, and half a dozen specialists recommending different tests and procedures. It’s like arriving at a major construction project with nothing but a screwdriver and a crane.
An insightful look into our health care system by looking at some of the poorest and neediest patients. Lower costs were attained by giving better care.
This is a private collection in Rome of some Shepard Fairey works. Some of the works that I don’t like individually look great when seen as a collection.

Quite a piece of chocolate art. The molds used to make this show an impressive amount of detail.
