Question: Is a deductible due when making any type of car insurance claim after a crash?
Continue Reading Below
Answer: A deductible isn't associated with every type of car insurance coverage, so it will depend upon the kind of claim that is being made. (See "What is a deductible?")
Liability coverages are deductible-free.
For example, if someone hits you and you're making a claim against the driver's liability coverages, then you won't have a deductible due. If the other driver's auto insurance company finds that their policyholder was fully at fault, then their liability coverages should pay for damages to your car (property damage liability) and injuries (bodily injury liability), up to the person's maximum limits.
The same holds true if you hit someone and the other driver makes a claim against your liability coverages. There wouldn't be due a deductible due by you or the party making the claim.
But "full coverage" is different.
If you use your physical damage coverages of collision and comprehensive to make a claim for damages to your vehicle, then you'll normally need to pay out a deductible -- whether you're at fault or not. It doesn't matter if you lost control and hit a tree or a deer ran into your vehicle, a deductible would be due. (See "What if I can't pay my deductible?")
If you're not at fault in an accident and don't want to pay a deductible, then you'll need to go through the at-fault party's property damage liability coverage to make your claim. If you go through your own collision and make a claim, the deductible will be due and though your insurer may subrogate with the other party, there is no guarantee that they will be able to recoup your deductible amount.
There are a few exceptions (that vary by state and insurer) regarding a deductible being due after a comprehensive or collision claim. For example, in some states your comprehensive deductible is waived for windshield claims. Also, sometimes if you're in an accident with another driver who is insured by the same insurer as you and you chose to make a collision claim, your deductible may be waived.
Other parts of your insurance also may come with a deductible, such as personal injury protection (PIP) if you live in a no-fault state. And, in some states, uninsured motorist bodily injury and uninsured motorist property damage come with deductibles. If you're making a claim against your own car insurance policy and are unsure if you have a deductible amount, review your policy and contact your agent if you need clarification.
The original article can be found at CarInsurance.com:Is a deductible due for every accident claim?

A Pamet item scooped from the bowl this past week -- The years were less troubled when a mention of Truro led to imagining a painting of a quiet seaside outpost that could be a Shangra-La offspring. Well, almost. And still today, in the midst of a disoriented world, that painting of the small town, snuggled in the embrace of the Valley of the Pamet, is always present during every visit. However, regular reading of the Lower Cape press discloses soiled spots, restlessness, and shreds of turmoil beneath the covering. The press tells of how the denizens of that Outer World are tangling constantly with a mish-mash of issues. If the hassles are not about the Town Hall bells ringing too loudly, it's about the mega-mansions in the dunes or the Hopper landscape, the development in the Hogsback, or the retaining wall at Great Hollow or the latest squabble over the Cobb Library berm, not to mention the Worthington leftovers. Can the natives be so restless and unhappy in such a setting in the Valley of the Pamet? Now if those shenanigans persist, CC will have no choice but to dust off and re-read Tom Kane's excellent book, My Pamet, that tells of Truro's Shangri-La-like -- well, almost -- peaches and cream days . Hometown Home Run: Cape Codders, we hope, realize that the jewels of news are their local press. The jewels description is not CC's. it is applied by a small publishing house and brought to attention by a retired Falmouth Enterprise editor in a book review. John Hough, Jr., explains that the book's publisher sent press releases only to a network of local papers because "they are a vibrant resource jewels that New York publishing houses never think to tap." And Cape Cod, more so than most other "rural" regions, is a minefield of these jewels. And no other medium can boast the same . Provincetown is in a sweat. And its leaders and townspeople are more than just a little concerned. They learned at the recent business summit that seven of every 10 households are second homeowners, and the resident population has declined to about 10 percent. The report from Alix Ritchie, who represents both the Provincetown and Cape Cod economic development councils and also publishes the Banner newspaper, showed a trend of full-time residents turning seasonal, resulting in a decline in local bank deposits. "We're losing the very people we should be fighting to attract, those looking for a community to settle in." Patience Pays Off: he waited and waited and waited. Almost 20 years. The long wait has paid off for Lenny Langlais and 18 other veterans from Orleans. Today their names have, at long last, been added to the Korean and Viet Nam Memorial. Langlais is credited with leading the long effort to have the names engraved on the plaque . From the Heart: He received a Purple Heart while serving on the carrier USS Wasp during World War II. Today Allyn "Flash" Gordon is still dealing in hearts -- this time, the romantic kind. The Harwich veteran has been sworn in as a justice of the peace, authorized to conduct weddings. He's 91 . Gas Pains: Interesting how Cape Cod's lawmakers on Beacon Hill keep their mouths taped on the issue that, more than most others, keeps boiling on the front burner: Cape Codders paying higher gas prices than motorists across the bridges.• • •

Was there a significant difference in the time investment? Was your end product more impressive, such as did it lay more straight, more flat? Did you feel you were able to produce more impressive patterns in your quilting? Thanks.

President Obama will release his fiscal 2014 budget request in mid-March, according to a Defense Department memo obtained by several news organizations.
The Feb. 5 memo from Defense Deputy Comptroller John Roth to financial managers at the Pentagon said Obama intends to "submit the top-level budget to the Congress in mid-March."
A former staffer for the Congressional Budget Office told Federal Times that a top-level budget would include the requested amount from each agency, as well as details on "functional areas" such as personnel, operations and maintenance.
Unions on Friday said Obama informed them he would request a 1 percent pay raise for federal employees in his 2014 budget.
In January, the Obama administration told Congress the budget – due on Feb. 4 – would be delayed because of the uncertainty caused by the fiscal cliff.
Patrick Lester, the director of fiscal policy at the Center for Effective Government, told Government Executive that the timing of the administration's budget release would be a carefully calculated political decision, because anything in the president's initial request would be incorporated as part of a final fiscal deal.

"I know exactly what I need to do – I can advise other people what to do – but I cannot follow through on what I know I need to do."
"I have a hard time concentrating on what is going on and am easily distracted by things around me. People think I'm not paying attention and guess what? They're right!"
"I feel like I've under-achieved in almost every part of my life: school, work, and even in my relationships. I just know I should have done better!"
"I always lose track of time and end up running late for appointments."
"My life seems to be an endless cycle of chaos and control. I feel like such an imposter."
"It seems I'm always letting people down, whether it's my boss or my best friend. I say I'm going to do something, and really intend to deliver. But then something happens and I just don't get finished when said I would."
Do these problems sound familiar for you or someone you know?
We all experience these sorts of aggravations from time to time. However, when these difficulties occur chronically and in a variety of situations, it may be a sign of something more than just a bad day.
Once viewed primarily as a "behavior problem," we now know that ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting millions of people in the United States and around the world. Although the "core symptoms" of ADHD are subtle and essentially invisible to most people, these symptoms lead to unmistakable functional impairments and struggles in almost every part of the lives of adults with ADHD.
These impairments include recurrent procrastination, chronic disorganization, inconsistent work or school performance, and difficulties sustaining healthy relationships, just to name a few.
If you are experiencing some of these difficulties, the services offered at Penn's Adult ADHD Treatment & Research Program may help.

The Married Gamers writer, Andrew Smith, gives his opinion about how the new Tomb Raider will not support the WiiU.
I am an adult and I like my Nintendo Wii U. I am currently enjoying my adult M rated games.
Needs a stronger user base of course, but it's only been a little less than three months. ZombiU had a fairly strong attachment rate, so it's not like that kind of audience is completely nonexistent for the Wii U. It's a double edged sword, sadly. It needs games to bring in that core gamer and devs won't make games out of caution that the core gamer may not buy it on the Wii U.
I suppose it starts when one side actually gives it a chance.
the core gamer and people that love great gamers never left nintendo....its the 13 year old to 18 year old nongamers who are new to gaming and just mimicking haters that dnt like nintendo thats the problem...but real gamers either have a wiiu or all three systems
I think it's really stupid how people talk about Nintendo "abandoning" the core gamer, when really it was the "core gamer" that abandoned Nintendo. People who call them selves "gamers" all too often speak of Nintendo only releasing casual games when 7 out of the 10 times, the games they produce are core games. People rat on Nintendo for shovelware, but was that really Nintendo? No it was 3rd party developers that were responsible for all of the shovelware.
That said, I personally was more pleased with the software on the Wii than I was on the 360 and PS3. That said, I greatly enjoyed the newer franchises such as Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Uncharted.
I honestly expected the Wii U to do better coming out the gate. The Wii demographic didn't upgrade, and PS360 fans are still getting top quality 3rd party support for those consoles (while the Wii U suffers in this case).
It's just more proof showcased to Nintendo that it's best to launch hardware with software that compels consumers into buying your product.

Because the framework is under active development, these instructions are likely to be out-of-date in specifics. Hopefully the basic strategies will still apply.
First, if xwork is not available froma Maven repo (for example, if it has moved to a SNAPSHOT dependency), then check it out from the repository and run "mvn install" - this gives you the snapshot of XWork as well as the POM for resolving transitive dependencies like oscore. This may apply to other dependencies which are not on ibiblio, but when I first tried this, xwork was the one with enough transitive dependencies to be hard to manage any other way.
For other dependencies which are not on ibiblio, from the SAF repository checkout (sandbox), run "ant common.jar". This will cause Ivy to fetch the other dependencies you need.
Then, for each of the missing dependencies, install using "mvn install:install-file" Below are examples, but of course the path to your ".ivy-cache" directory will differ, and the versions are likely to change for lots of reason, but especially if the dependency is a SNAPSHOT with a timestamp in the filename.
mvn install:install-file -DartifactId=dwr -DgroupId=dwr -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.1.3-beta \ -Dfile=/Users/germuska/.ivy-cache/dwr/dwr/jars/dwr-1.1-beta-3.jar mvn install:install-file -DartifactId=plexus-container-default -DgroupId=org.codehaus.plexus \ -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.0-alpha-10-SNAPSHOT \ -Dfile=/Users/germuska/.ivy-cache/org.codehaus.plexus/plexus-container-default/jars/plexus-container-default-1.0-alpha-10-20060215.222714-5.jar
If you are not running Java 5.0, then you will also need to install the dom3 APIs. As far as we can tell, the compiled JAR is not on any Maven repository. the source for dom3 can be found here: http://ibiblio.org/maven2/xerces/dom3-xml-apis/1.0/dom3-xml-apis-1.0-sources.jar You can build a jar from it and then put it in your own repository. After that, edit webwork's pom.xml to point to the dependency -- there is a comment in the <profiles> section acknowledging the need for this, but presumably it will not be changed until dom3 gets officially loaded as a compiled JAR to some maven repository. There should be a way to use Maven2's settings.xml file to do this locally without editing pom.xml, but we have not had a chance to investigate this yet.
These steps may change as the pom changes, but this kind of approach should work.

1940 Census Update 3 March 2012
1940 Census Update 3 March 2012
We are now inside of 30 days until the release of the 1940 US Census images. Tens of millions of people living in the United States in 1940 are still living today, making this a record set that connects people with recent family records. I'm in it! ;-)
The people in the 1940 census deserve to have their records preserved and made available online. Have you been prepared to assist with the indexing project that will be required for all of us to be able to use indexes in our searches? If not yet, sign up TODAY. THANKS! ;-)
Families are Forever! ;-)

Exciting that the countdown that started so long ago is now inside the 30 day mark! The 1940 Census release will be a milestone event for U.S. genealogy on par with the release of the Ellis Island records back in April 2001! Remember that madness?ReplyDelete
-- Dan
Yes. And for me, I think the 1930 Census in 2002 was the big one, because of where I was in my research, at that time. I was really happy to be able to add those ten more years on a LOT of names! Thanks for your comment! ;-)ReplyDelete

Injuries, inconsistency mar Giants' 2013 campaign
SAN FRANCISCO -- The 2013 season quickly became tedious for the Giants.
After initially displaying the verve that characterized their surge to the World Series title the previous year, the Giants struggled in virtually every facet of the game en route to a 76-86 finish and a third-place tie with San Diego in the National League West.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The 2013 season quickly became tedious for the Giants.
After initially displaying the verve that characterized their surge to the World Series title the previous year, the Giants struggled in virtually every facet of the game en route to a 76-86 finish and a third-place tie with San Diego in the National League West.
"For some reason, June 1 felt like August 1," Giants general manager Brian Sabean said. "Professionalism never waned, and the effort never waned. But the execution was lacking, there was a lack of performance, and I think that had a lot to do with physical and mental fatigue."
The Giants may have been victims of their success, to a considerable extent. Winning the title required their starting pitchers to work an extra month and thus shortened their offseason. Moreover, of San Francisco's seven Major Leaguers who participated in the World Baseball Classic, five -- left-hander Jeremy Affeldt, third baseman Pablo Sandoval, center fielder Angel Pagan and right-handers Ryan Vogelsong and Santiago Casilla -- spent time on the disabled list. And though second baseman Marco Scutaro avoided going on the DL, he endured back problems.
Right-hander Sergio Romo was the lone Giant among the team's Classic participants to remain healthy this year.
"I don't know if it was bad luck on our part, but something happened to everybody who participated in the WBC," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
It seemed that something unfortunate happened to everybody, period. Entering May 13, the Giants owned a 23-15 record and a 2 1/2-game division lead over Arizona. Then they traveled to Toronto, where they were swept in a two-game series.
Nobody knew it then, but that began the Giants' final descent.
For the remainder of the season, the Giants posted a 53-71 record. Their .427 winning percentage in that span was the NL's third-lowest behind the Cubs (50-74, .403) and Miami (51-73, .411).
As is typically the case, the Giants' slump was a team effort, just as multiple players played key roles in their Series triumphs in 2010 and '12.
The club's 4.00 ERA was its highest since 2008 (4.38). The Giants scored 629 runs -- 10th in the league and a decrease of 89 runs from the previous season. Their average of 3.5 runs per game at home ranked as the NL's third-lowest.
That reflected the Giants' diminished home-field advantage. They finished 42-40 at AT&T Park, their worst record by the Bay since a 37-44 finish in 2008.
Here's a final review of the 2013 season, highlighted by the year's top five storylines:
5. Pagan's injury an ominous sign
Misfortune tempered one of the season's biggest thrills. Pagan lashed an inside-the-park, walkoff home run in a 6-5, 10-inning triumph over Colorado on May 25 but injured his left hamstring during that game, requiring surgery that sidelined him for 82 games.
The Giants missed Pagan's assertive presence in the leadoff spot. His absence hampered No. 2 hitter Marco Scutaro, who saw fewer fastballs and couldn't employ his hit-and-run skills as often without Pagan reaching base ahead of him. Scutaro hit a respectable .297 but collected 31 RBIs in 127 games, compared with 44 in 61 games in 2012.
Without Pagan and Scutaro galvanizing the offense -- "We had a tough time overcoming that," Bochy said -- San Francisco's lack of power was doubly pronounced. The Giants could get away with hitting the fewest homers in the NL (103) in 2012, because they excelled at situational hitting. They didn't this time around, so ranking next-to-last in the league with 107 homers became a flaw.
4. Rotation spins off its axis
San Francisco's starting pitching, considered an elite group for years, was merely ordinary. The starters' 4.37 ERA was the league's third worst and the team's highest since 2006 (4.58).
Giants pitchers struggled at the outset and needed time to regain their equilibrium.
Matt Cain was 5-6 with a 5.06 ERA in 19 starts before the All-Star break. One year earlier, he started the All-Star Game for the NL.
Tim Lincecum, continuing his transition from relying on power to embracing precision, posted a 5.12 ERA in his first 11 starts and lost nine of his first 13 decisions.
Ryan Vogelsong compiled a 1-4 record with a shocking 8.06 ERA in his first eight starts.
Barry Zito fell from his 2012 grace, twice enduring removal from the rotation and recording an 0-9 record with a 10.00 ERA in 11 road starts.
Only Madison Bumgarner displayed any semblance of consistency, amassing 22 quality starts and making his first All-Star team.
3. Mid-year momentum fades
The Giants trailed division-leading Los Angeles by 6 1/2 games after Lincecum threw his dynamic no-hitter at San Diego on July 13. It was the kind of inspiring effort that can propel a team to greater heights. In fact, the Giants won their first two outings after the All-Star break to trim their deficit to 4 1/2 games.
Then the Giants forgot how to hit. They lost eight of their next nine games, scoring three runs or fewer in each defeat. Just like that, they trailed by 11 games, because the Dodgers were in the midst of a stretch of 42 wins in 50 games.
2. No help forthcoming
In previous years, farmhands such as Buster Posey or Bumgarner or midseason acquisitions like Pat Burrell, Hunter Pence or Scutaro rallied the Giants. This time, they had no Major League-ready performers with surpassing talent, and the additions of Jeff Francoeur and Kensuke Tanaka proved meaningless.
"We didn't have enough depth," Sabean said. "Last year we seemingly were able to overcome injury and lack of performance. We didn't do that this year. We didn't get any kind of life-raft help from the Minor Leagues, whether it was the fifth starter or what we went through in center field and left field."
1. Pence leads late surge
It's often said that September baseball is illusory. The Giants hope this isn't true. They played their best in the season's final month, fashioning a 16-11 record to avoid joining the 1998 Florida Marlins as the only teams to finish last one season after winning the World Series.
Pence proved indispensable, earning NL Player of the Month honors with 11 homers, 32 RBIs, a .667 slugging percentage and 23 runs. His surge helped earn him a five-year, $90 million contract extension that was forged during the season's final weekend and prevented him from entering free agency.
Pagan's return also helped. He was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Aug. 30 and batted .323 (30-for-93) in his final 25 games.

There is a new "In" crowd among Arizona farmers. However, it is far more inclusive than exclusive.
It is the "In Escrow" crowd.
"I don't know of a farm around here that is not in escrow," said Coolidge, Arizona producer Greg Wuertz. And that includes perhaps the most well known farm in all of Arizona, the Wuertz family's Sundance Farms in Pinal County.
Howard Wuertz and his family are known worldwide as innovators, being the first in the West to produce row crops on subsurface drip irrigation and developing a line of tillage tools to farm drip-irrigated cotton and other annual crops. This is just one of the many innovations from Sundance.
Yet, the 3,500-acre Wuertz home farm has been sold to land speculators/developers. One day soon the entire farm will be engulfed by of thousands of homes where cotton, alfalfa, wheat, melons and other crops now grow.
"It was the hardest thing for dad to sell out, but he figured it was time to make the move with the prices like they were offering and the water shortages looming in Arizona," said Greg Wuertz.
It is the same story everywhere for developable privately owned Arizona land. Much of Arizona is federal or Indian lands, making private ground scarce and expensive in a state of 5 million people continuing to grow rapidly.
An insatiable appetite for land in the fastest growing state in the nation is fueled by Internal Revenue Code 1031 that shelters capital gains for investors and others who sell land and invest proceeds in similar land purchases.
Toss huge checks
Land speculators are tossing huge checks for $15,000 to $30,000 and more per acre for thousands of acres at farmers in Pinal County and other farming areas of Arizona.
What is happening is that open land bought, for example, for $20,000 per acre near Phoenix just a few years ago is now selling for as much as five times that. Under 1031 tax code, those sellers can avoid capital gains taxes by buying similar property elsewhere, like Pinal County, now the largest cotton farming area in Arizona with 100,000 acres annually, roughly half the state's cotton acreage.
At one time that distinction belonged to Maricopa County where just eight years ago there were more than 100,000 acres of cotton. In 2003 that had dipped to just 40,000 and it may soon be just 20,000 acres. Maricopa once logged 200,000 acres of cotton. The development craze that enveloped much of the farmland in Maricopa is now consuming Pinal.
An investor sells 50 acres for $5 million in Phoenix, turns around and spends $5 million for 200 acres in Pinal County, and avoids capital gains taxes under IRS code 1031.
"It's crazy," said Greg Wuertz. However, with the cost of farming and the increasing scarcity of water in the desert, Arizona farmers figure they would be fools not to take the money now. Prices likely will go higher. However, farms have seen bubbles burst. Who blames them for taking the cash while the offer is still on the table. Farming is not going to get any easier or less expensive.
Lease back
However, just because a farmer sells out does not mean he must stop farming the land. Many farmers like the Wuertz family are leasing back their own farms.
Adding fuel to this crazy bidding war for farmland are cities buying farmland for the water. People who will live in all those new houses and apartments are going to want water and that water will come from agriculture, either well water or surface water projects like the Salt River Project or the Central Arizona Project that farmers now rely on for irrigation water. Adding to this water rush is the recent settlement of federal water rights which gave Indian tribes control over 42 percent of the CAP water in the state. Indian tribal members represent 2 percent of the state's population, yet control 42 percent of the federal water supplies.
Some tribes say they are going to use the water to develop new farmland. Others, however, believe the tribes will eventually sell the water to thirsty cities for big bucks.
Back to the farmland. It may be years before all of the farmland is developed or water diverted from agriculture. However, for some land, the wait for development may not be long. That is the case for about 1,000 acres of Sundance where developers are already taking core samples in preparation for roads and homes soon to be built in fields of wheat to be harvested this summer.
While some farmers are taking the cash and getting out of farming, others like the Wuertz family want to stick with what they have done all their lives. They are professional farmers and want to continue to meet the challenges of desert farming and hopefully continue to make money.
Greg and David Wuertz are third generation farmers and hope their children can become fourth generation producers as well. It will not be easy or inexpensive. It also likely will mean farming land with short-term leases.
Leasing from city
That is the situation the Wuertz family finds itself in leasing about 1,400 acres of ground owned by the city of Mesa. It is basically a replacement for the 1,000 acres soon to be developed at Sundance.
The city-owned ground had been farmed since the 1980s when Mesa bought it on a long-term lease, but the farmer let it go back when Mesa reduced the lease term to just two years with a one year renewal, raised the lease rate and revised the pump maintenance agreement to put more of the financial responsibility for pump water on the lessor/farmer. Wuertz assumed the lease.
The previous tenant had farmed only about 700 acres of it, however, most of it has a farm history.
"It is a big contiguous farm, and they are hard to find. That is why we were willing to lease it on a short term basis," said Wuertz. The lease is $200 per farmed acre.
"I have a good friend who farms 1,200 acres in blocks of 160, 320 and 80 acres 20 and 30 miles apart. That is expensive. It takes extra equipment and labor. You are always chasing from one block to another, chasing fuel or parts or people," said Wuertz.
To make the leased ground profitable, Wuertz understands he must reduce costs from what he now figures it costs to raise cotton, $1,000 per acre. His goal is to produce 3 bales of cotton using 3-acre feet of water at a cost of about $600 per acre. "My goal is to raise cotton for 60 cents per pound. I have to reduce a lost of costs from fuel to labor and still get the yields to achieve that 60-cent goal," he said.
New consideration
The simplest thing to do would be to do what Howard Wuertz started doing 20 years ago; install a buried drip irrigation system.
However, with a short-term lease, that is too risky financially. The lease could be terminated before the buried drip system could be amortized.
Greg has decided to borrow a page from fellow Arizona producer Ron Rayner of Goodyear, Ariz., to get costs down. Rayner is successfully farming irrigation basins using no-till to reduce costs.
"Ron and I are on the Calcot board and I have been talking to him about what he is doing and decided to give it a try, with some modifications for my water situation," said Greg Wuertz.
Rayner grows a crop of wheat or barley; harvests it; shreds the stubble and plants cotton into the stubble. It is strictly Midwest no-till in the middle of the Arizona desert. It has taken Rayner eight years to perfect the system, and Wuertz is going to school on Rayner's education.
Wuertz is putting up borders to plant cotton on 30-inch rows after a winter green manure crop of barley or perhaps a legume.
Cotton in stubble
"My plan is to pre-irrigate and plant the green manure crop, but not harvest it. It will survive on the pre-irrigation or whatever winter rainfall it receives. Then in the spring, I will come in and burn it down with Roundup and plant cotton directly into the grain stubble," said Wuertz.
Rayner harvests his grain crop and does not plant cotton before May 15. Wuertz said he has only about 3 to 3.5 acre feet of water available to him, and he cannot afford the water cost take a grain crop to maturity. Rayner, said Wuertz, uses about 6-acre feet for both the cotton and grain crops.
"Water is the biggest issue with me — cost as well as physical availability. I tried irrigating with borders and no-till last year on 40-inch rows on 200 acres last year, and it just took too much water. My yields went way up with this system, but my water use was too high. I am switching to 30-inch cotton for the 700 acres I am doing this year. My ditches and water supply are not big enough to handle big heads of water to get across the field without using too much water."
Wuertz is putting in permanent borders with a Trimble equipped GPS guidance on a Deere rubber track tractor. The width between borders will be determined by field fall. The borders will be spaced to handle a 30-inch no-till planter and six-row 30-inch Deere spindle pickers.
"Some guys in Arizona have gone to strippers to save money. I am not ready to go that far," he added.
He will plant his cotton the middle of April, using Deltapine 449BR. "It is a full season cotton that I have had pretty good luck with. I may be able to shorten the season a bit if it works out that way and make 449 a more medium maturity variety," he added. He will not cultivate the cotton crop, using glyphosate to kill the weeds in the herbicide-resistant cotton.
The Wuertzes long ago abandoned deep tillage with permanent drip systems, some of which have been in the ground for 20 years, therefore, it is not a stretch for Greg to continue the no-till regime. However, this is the first try at no-till and flood irrigation.
Greg has another motive for trying the no-till flood irrigation. In the future, he is convinced farmers will be paid to practice conservation tillage.
Expects payments
"I think we are going to start getting government payments, for conservation tillage — not ripping or plowing. It may take me two or three years to figure out this new border irrigation system and no-till, but I want to be ready when that starts," he said.
Wuertz said he is the cotton man on the Sundance operation, but admits that a finite supply of water for farming will drive Central Arizona producers to produce more high value crops on less land.
"We have to stretch the water even more than we already are in Arizona, and that is what I am trying to do with the system I am borrowing from Ron to try to stay in the cotton business," said Wuertz.
Howard achieved a 95 percent water efficiency when he went to buried drip irrigation. That will be difficult to duplicate with flood irrigation and no-till, but Wuertz said he must strive for that goal if the third and fourth generations of Wuertzes are to remain Arizona producers.

Reports that Kendra Wilkinson threw her wedding ring down the toilet as a symbol that her marriage is over are NOT true -- they're still together .... this according to sources very close to the couple.
We got Kendra out in Hollywood this morning and she was mum about her marriage to Hank Baskett in the wake of the alleged cheating scandal.
But we're told Hank is currently living in the family home with Kendra and has been there for more than 4 days after a mysterious absence of 2 - 3 days.
We're told the couple is working through issues involving the allegations, but they have not split.
As for the wedding ring ... we're told Kendra rarely wears it, but she still has it.

Four Paradoxes That Could Change a Company's Performance Outlook:Weekend Reading
Declining return on assets (ROA) doesn't fit with the positive stories commonly reported about company performance and the business environment. The newly released report, Success or Struggle: ROA as a True Measure of Business Performance, produced by Deloitte LLP's Center for the Edge, addresses four of these seeming paradoxes: rising corporate profits, long-term economic growth, increasing labor productivity and more consumer choice.
The article examines the effects of what the Center terms the "Big Shift" on major components of ROA and the perils of short-term thinking. In addition, the report demonstrates how companies can chart a course back to long-term thinking. What follows is an excerpt from the report, which was written by John Hagel, co-chairman, Deloitte Center for the Edge; John Seely Brown, independent co-chairman, Deloitte Center for the Edge; Tamara Samoylova, head of research, Deloitte Center for the Edge; and Michael Lui, research fellow, Deloitte Center for the Edge.
ROA as a True Measure of Business Performance
The news today paints an upbeat picture on many fronts. Corporations report record profit levels.¹ The economy has recovered at a steady pace of 1.8% to 2.4% over the last three years.² Stock market rallies restored major indices to prior levels and beyond. Housing prices have stabilized and have begun to increase nationally.³ Manufacturing activity is showing signs of expansion.⁴ All aggregate signs point to positive outcomes for the time being.
Yet, other metrics tell a different story, one of increasing pressures and stress for companies, executives and employees. An increasing topple rate indicates that U.S. companies are struggling to maintain their leadership positions as revenues and market share prove vulnerable.⁵ Over the past four years, Chapter 11 business bankruptcies have been at a level not seen since the mid-1990s.⁶ High-profile bankruptcies, such as Linen n' Things and Blockbuster, and the automobile industry crisis in 2008 highlight the potential for seemingly successful companies to suffer rapid, irrecoverable downturns.
Even without the financial meltdown of 2008, the last several decades of rapid technological change and increasing global economic liberalization have put increasing pressure on traditional business models. These pressures are felt by executives charged with pursuing profitable growth and workers who must stay relevant as technology and business models change. The cumulative effects of long-term changes, driven by digital technology and public policy shifts, which are transforming the global business economy, comprise an era that The Center for the Edge calls the "Big Shift."
This story is embodied in the economy-wide, secular decline in return on assets over the last 47 years. The decline signals companies' decreasing ability to find and capture attractive opportunities relative to the assets they have. Companies lack a clear vision or the ability and commitment to execute a long-term strategy. The long-term trajectory of ROA, rather than a snapshot in any given quarter or year, reveals how effective a company is, over time, at harnessing business opportunities in a highly uncertain environment.
ROA is not a perfect measure, but it is the most effective, broadly available financial measure to assess company performance. It captures the fundamentals of business performance in a holistic way, looking at both income statement performance and the assets required to run a business. Commonly used metrics such as return on equity or returns to shareholders are vulnerable to financial engineering, especially through debt leverage, which can obscure the fundamentals of a business. ROA is less vulnerable to the kind of short-term gaming that can occur on income statements since many assets, such as property, plant and equipment as well as intangibles, involve long-term asset decisions that are more difficult to tamper with in the short term.
In the report, the authors examine how executives can better understand their companies' long-term ROA and how "looking back" can help make smarter decisions for the future.
Based on the analysis of 47 years of data, the report demonstrates how ROA depicts the so-called Big Shift—the cumulative effect of long-term changes driven by digital technology and public policy shifts that are transforming the global business economy.
Further, reviewing ROA leads to some seeming paradoxes:
- Record profits: Longer-term trends suggest companies are struggling.
- Increasing labor productivity: Exponential technology advances continue to outpace increases in worker productivity.
- More consumer choice: Leads to increases in product development spending.
- Long-term economic growth: Companies must be more creative in finding ways to capture value.
From these paradoxes, executives can learn several lessons. First, a new mindset is needed to shift from a short-term to a longer-term view of performance. Also, conducting an historical ROA analysis can help companies develop a longer-term mindset which can help prioritize efforts, steer strategic decisions and minimize distraction from short-term events. In addition, an examination of ROA leads to implications for talent development, customer relations and value creation.

Note, the report is part of the Shift Index, designed to help executives understand and take advantage of the long-term forces of change shaping the U.S. economy. The Shift Index tracks 25 metrics across more than 40 years. These metrics fall into three areas: 1) the developments in the technological and political foundations underlying market changes, 2) the flows of capital, information, and talent changing the business landscape and 3) the impacts of these changes on competition, volatility and performance across industries. Combined, these factors reflect what the Center for the Edge, part of Deloitte LLP, calls the Big Shift in the global business environment.

Mark Adzone needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Rudolph Sweater
I need an urgent design if possible guys! I make Christmas Jumpers / Sweaters and am looking for a new design.
Cartoony illustrators with some imagination please
The sweater I have in mind is a red wool sweater with a large picture of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer on the front. The face must be large on the front and I like the idea of a slightly cheeky Rudolph. He has a protruding red nose which flashes. Feel free to leave the remainder of the sweater blank red or to put in some Christmas trees, sleighs, etc. Imagination must appreciated.
It's very likely that I'll pick a design within the next day so would appreciate it if you could enter your designs as soon as possible. I'll provide feedback on all designs.
Thanks a mill for your help and Good Luck!

That's what the actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman is asking his fans via Instagram. Sharing the below photo of himself with flowing — and might we add, perfectly highlighted — tresses (Brad Pitt, anyone?), Leto posed the important question, "should I cut off this hippy hair?"
Courtesy Jared Leto
Leto has made some interesting hair choices in the past (who could forget that faux-hawk?), but we have to admit that we're biased when it comes to the star's strands.
We like 'em long. How could we not when we spent hours watching My So Called Life and fantasizing about running our hands through his character's mane? So, while we're fine with him trimming his "hippy" hair, we kindly request that he keep it shoulder-length or longer, as Jordan Catalano would have.

But we want to hear from you, StyleWatchers: Should Jared Leto cut his hair or leave it as is?

Heart Failure: Getting the Care You Need
Heart Failure: Getting the Care You Need
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with heart failure, you probably have a lot of questions. What can I expect from treatment? What can I do to manage the condition? What kind of care will be needed in the future? It's important to have an open and honest discussion with your healthcare provider about these concerns. These tips can help you make sure your needs are met.
It's important to ask your health care provider questions during your visit to make sure you understand your condition and what your treatment involves. If you're uncomfortable doing so, it might help to bring a list of questions with you. You can give the list to your healthcare provider or use it to jog your memory during the visit. You'll probably want answers to questions such as these:
What is my diagnosis?
What is my heart function or ejection fraction?
Will my condition get worse?
What are the treatment options?
Will the treatment have side effects?
Why do I need this medication?
Will my insurance cover the treatment?
How much will the treatment help me?
Will I be able to take care of myself in the weeks and months ahead?
What can I do to manage my condition?
Which activities can I do, and which should I avoid?
What are the signs and symptoms that my condition is worsening?
What should I do if I miss a dose of my medication?
Bring a notebook to write down the answers. Some people record the conversation so that they can listen again to their healthcare provider's instructions later. Don't be embarrassed to ask the healthcare provider to slow down or repeat something. It's important that you clearly understand your treatment, your medications, and what you need to do to manage your condition.
Be open with your healthcare provider
Your healthcare provider will also need some important information from you. Tell your provider about your symptoms and how you're feeling. It's especially important to let your provider know about any changes or problems you've experienced. Be frank about whether you've been able to follow the diet, exercise, and other advice you've been given. Your healthcare provider needs to know where you're having difficulty so that he or she can help. Your provider also needs to know about all the medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements, so bring a list with you. And if you are seeing more than one healthcare provider, be sure that each one knows all the medications prescribed for you.
Ask for a helping hand
Sometimes your regular routine can seem challenging. If it's exhausting going to and from medical appointments, ask a family member to go with you. He or she can take notes, help you remember questions to ask, and learn how to help you at home. Your healthcare provider may give you a referral to see a registered dietitian if you're having trouble following a low-salt, low-fat diet. He or she will work with you to develop meal plans, shopping lists, and recipes with your favorite foods. Your healthcare provider can also help you develop an exercise routine geared toward your abilities.
What you can do
There's a lot you can do at home to monitor your health. Your healthcare provider may ask you to weigh yourself regularly and keep a log of your weight, blood pressure, and symptoms. You can track your blood pressure with an easy-to-use digital monitor. Take your medications as prescribed. If you are having trouble doing so, contact your healthcare provider. Never stop taking your medications before talking with him or her. These practices will help your healthcare provider evaluate how well your treatment is working.
Taking an active role in your health can have many benefits. The more you and your healthcare provider know about your heart failure, the better treatment and care you'll receive for your condition.

It's a not uncommon trait for human beings to note their existence, so they don't feel insignificant in the greater scheme of things.
When you wrote that, I just could not help but think of this
"I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
Percy Bysshe Shelley

For those of you who have wondered what it�s like to ride in the Bike MS ride, but are too embarrassed to buy the tight shorts to find out, here is a live-as-it-happened report from yours truly:
For those of you who have wondered what it�s like to ride in the Bike MS ride, but are too embarrassed to buy the tight shorts to find out, here is a live-as-it-happened report from yours truly:
On Sunday, I arrive at Union Point Park. Two water bottles: one with water, another with Gatorade that I�ve always thought tasted like cough medicine. Gatorade is required. It has electrolights. I�m not sure what that means. I look at the bottle and it isn�t illuminated from within. I dip a finger and I don�t get shocked. Where is the electricity? Where are the lights?
I ride my bicycle for my health, but I seem unusually talented at crashing. Mark Twain once said, �Get a bicycle. You won�t regret it, if you live.� And there�s my motto.
The Bike MS people have designated starting points for lining up: �20-25 mph line up here.� �15-20 mph line up here.� �10-15 mph line up here.� �People who get off and walk their bikes every time they come to a slope line up here.�
I place my bike at the 15-20 � I average just over 15 mph on my 20-mile rides. I tap my odometer and the stupid thing goes into reset mode.
They don�t really call them odometers now, by the way. They�re computers. They tell your speed, your average speed, your top speed, your time on the road, the temperature, and the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. The European kind.
It is asking if I want to speak English. I punch buttons and it suggests other languages � French, Deutsch, Italian. But I can�t get it to come back and tell me how many miles I�m going. So I break the line and find the bike shop folks. They struggle a few minutes and get it back, and by now bicyclists are already launching across the bridge. So I join them and I�m off at 8:06 a.m.
For a hundred miles, there are eight rest stops. At each I scratch notes of what preceded. Here is the gist:
I pass the first flat tire at 4.24 miles from Union Point.
At 8:55, I pull in to the first rest stop and scarf oranges and Fig Newtons, one of the best parts of the bike ride.
I pull into the second stop 9:32, 20 miles along. �Want a pickle juice shot?,� I�m asked. They offer straight mustard packets and pickle juice to help keep your salt level up. I decide I�ll just work on the electric cough syrup in my bottle.
There are no Fig Newtons here. What is this?
At 28.7 mile, I hit the third stop, well into the sticks. Just before the rest stop is a long field of brown, brittle corn stalks. Part of the field is mown where massive John Deere harvesters stand silently, looking like otherworldly cows.
No Fig Newtons.
I eat oranges and bananas and replace my water. My cough syrup is getting low, but I don�t see any Gatorade. There is limeade and so I refill with that.
My wife, Roberta, has been scooting along in the Xterra, keeping sure of my survival and assisting as a quasi-volunteer. We see each other once in a while, like a bike and an SUV passing in the wind.
This is a long stretch. The next stop is at 42 miles, and most of the road is like a washboard. I swear I can read the surface like braille with my backside. I drink away at the limeade and it occurs to me: I don�t like limeade.
Lots of headwind. It�s a pretty unpleasant passage.
At the next stop, I dump the limeade. Lunch is all healthy stuff like refried beans and oddball lettuce, so I just eat fruit. A guy who looks a little like Anthony Weiner sits by me. He wears a really tight bicycle ensemble of black and orange that clings way more than should be legal.
There are no Fig Newtons, but with Anthony Weiner�s lookalike sitting so nearby I�m not sure I could get one down.
There is a water mister here. I ride through it like 20 times, looping around and around.
I reach beautiful little Oriental at 51 miles and write in my notebook: �Gasp. Gasp. Gasp.�
There�s a fire ant pile with a stick in it. I guess the stick is to let you see it is there so that, if you need invigorating, you can stand in it for a while.
No. Fig Newtons. I finally accept that I will never see one again.
I reach rest stop six at 1:15, and I�ve gone 63 miles. My left calf has been cramping up, and I�m lucky if I�m averaging 12 mph. I�m also feeling woozy. I don�t know it yet, but I�m learning a lesson about the important of electrolytes. I desperately want to quit, but a few minutes rest makes me decide to continue on.
As I am leaving a volunteer asks, �You alright? Should you go to the next stop?�
My reply: �We�ll see.� My more honest response would have been: �Yes. Because I�m stupid.�
The next stop brings me back to Highway 55 and a few moments of civilization. I apply ointment to my calf and turn down an offer of mustard and pickle juice. It�s been 74 miles, and the next stop is 15 miles away.
Fifteen miles. For some reason, they�re putting the last two stops the farthest apart � 15 miles and then 12 miles to finish. This, at the point when you want the rest stops to be 10. Not miles, but feet.
I pedal and pedal but the sun and the heat and my lack of salt and magnesium and phosphates and cardigans or some such stuff in my system is finally catching up with me. I drop my bike, take my water bottles and collapse to rest. I�m down to ice in one bottle, which I eat. I take a swig of warm water from the other bottle then dump the rest on my head.
About now MS people are showing up to see if I�m alive. They give me Gatorade and offer to drive me to the next stop where they can determine if I should be allowed to go on, get booted from the race, or simply be buried on the spot. I ask how far it is � �half a mile.�
�I�m riding it,� I tell them. �I�m doing it all or just stopping.�
It�s a stirring statement I hope to see in �Bartlett�s Familiar Quotations� one day. I stagger on and they follow me in.
There, I drop the bike and volunteers start doing that �Are you okay?� thing. They take my water bottles from my bike to fill them. When a volunteer gets your water bottle from your bike for you, that�s not a good sign.
I take some cookies and water and cross the road, about 100 feet from my bike, where there is shade. As I�m sitting there, my bike seems a mile away.
A sports doctor is tossing cold wet towels on me and grilling me about my drinking and peeing habits. Roberta pulls up � I�ve texted her to let her know a doctor was trying to decide if I was alive. Another doctor comes up and tells me that what I really need is a couple of bags of IV fluids. Dehydration, they declare.
I�m 12 stupid miles from the end, but it�s sun all the way and ending with a really big bridge. I can finish, they say, but I�ll probably do so in an ambulance. In other words, I am grounded.
It was a good ride, despite the ending where I withered up like a prune. Some philosophers tell us it�s the journey, not the destination � although we all know the greatest philosopher of all, Yoda, declared, �Do or do not, there is no try.� But why listen to a puppet who can�t master English?
It was a nice try � a Maxwell Smart try. �Missed it by that much!�

Richard Branson Claims People May Confuse 'I Am Not A Virgin Jeans' With His Virgin Properties
from the er,-they're-saying-they're-not-virgin,-richard... dept
To be fair, the letter itself is much more on the friendly side of the spectrum, when it comes to legal nastygrams. It doesn't take a completely hardline stance, tries to express a common viewpoint (applauding the support for "the planet" and entrepreneurs), and even makes some (kinda silly) suggestions for alternate names ("I Am Not Chaste," "I Am Not Pure" -- to which Heron suggests "how about 'I Am Not Made By Richard Branson'). But, it doesn't go to Jack Daniels' level of friendliness, in making it clear that no change will lead the company to officially seek to have Heron's trademark (which he's had for 3.5 years) revoked by the USPTO.
It's also clear that Heron is milking this for all its worth as a marketing strategy (which is a pretty reasonable strategy, given the situation). But that raises more questions about why Virgin/Branson even went down this road in the first place. They had to know that they were just asking for a public shaming.

1988 Graduate Shares Life As Monkby Tim Flowers • November 18, 2004 Share:
Buddhist monk Tan Jotipalo '88 returned to campus the week of Nov 15 to speak to students about his experiences living in a California monastery. Jotipalo was an art major originally from Crawfordsville and a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. After graduation, he worked for a Crawfordsville sales firm before moving to a new position in New Hampshire. It was several years after a recreational visit to Nepal that Jotipalo decided to become a monk. He sat down with Bachelor editor Tim Flowers to talk about his experiences.
Tim Flowers (TF): Could you give me a brief overview of how you arrived at where you are today?
Jotipalo (J): "Living in New Hampshire, I got involved in a lot of outdoor activities, mainly in whitewater kayaking, and mountain climbing. Some of my friends were planning a trip to Nepal to the Himalayas and just the idea of going there sparked something in me. I remember telling a friend, 'If I don't get permission to go on this trip, I'm going to quit my job.' That was pretty severe; in fact, I was shocked that I even said it. Anyways, I received permission to go, but when I was there I had a near-death experience. I got some sort of virus, and not knowing how to take care of myself, I ended up flying into high altitudes, which aggravated the illness. Even then, I still tried to climb at high altitudes and at one point, I had a near death experience."
TF: And what happened at that point?
J: "At the climax, I really believed I had the choice of life or death. The pain was so intense and I was thinking to myself, 'I wish my pain would end.' I remember a voice coming into my head and saying, 'if you wish for that, you're dead.' I knew I needed to be separated from my pain, but I didn't want to die. When I thought that, I immediately came out of my body and floated to the corner of the room and after that moment, the materialistic part of my life was completely gone."
TF: So what did you do after that?
J: "I joke now how I used to motivate myself for sales by putting pictures of things I wanted up on the wall — like a new kayak or a car. That helped me excel at my job. I remember a week after this out-of-body experience, sitting in a hotel in Katmandu with all my possessions out in front of me. I thought, 'If someone came in here to steal all these things, I would help carry them out.' It still took another three years before I discovered Buddhism in the form that I follow now, even though after that it took another four or five years to actually become a monk."
TF: So, did you spend the next years searching for religion or peace?
J: "Well, it's interesting because at that point, I had not read a book since Wabash. I read technical manuals as part of my former job, but I had not read anything to better myself. My interests were almost more of selfish desires. I began to read everything I could get my hands on."
TF: "From that moment when you found that internal spark, and discovered Buddhism, was it automatic like the other defining moments of your life?
J: "Not really. Actually, what it felt like at that point was more of an internal desire to seeking. Then I read everything I could get my hands on, I didn't even know what it was, but I was just searching for a meaning in my life. After my new near-death experience, I came out with the 100 percent belief that when the body dies, that it's not the end. It's what the Christians call a soul or the Buddhist call the rebirth. What I am doing in this life is part of a continuum so what I'm doing now actually has much more importance for me because I know that what I am doing has an importance. I wouldn't say that I was seeking a purpose for life; I was searching for a spiritual path and hike the Appalachian Trail. I was going to quit my job, go hiking, and then find a job once more. "
TF: How did you then make the transition to Buddhism?
J: "I was still living in New Hampshire when a friend of mine introduced me to an Ashram in Massachusetts. When I quit my job, I lived in Massachusetts for three months and at the end of that time, a friend introduced me to a Buddhist teacher and I went to this retreat. When I was doing this, I had an insight. When I was experiencing this meditation, I actually had this vision of my mind and my body at the same time. I was telling both of these to relax, but I was too tight. I had this insight that the Buddha had said that pain is one part of the body but suffering is another part — and the suffering is optional. Once I taught myself to relax my body, the physical sensation of pain was still there, but the pain had gone away. It was like a physical sensation — like we're feeling the air right now. It was really very intense. At that moment, for me, there was some sort of insight where I felt I could explain to you anything about Buddhism to you at that moment. But, one minute it was there, and the next it was gone. I have 100 percent confidence that path can work."

2009 Dodge 3500 & 2007 Ultimate Adventure Jeep JK Missoula Montana Road Trip - The Road RulesPosted in Project Vehicles on August 1, 2009
The Fun Buggy was broken after last month's racing escapade, the Army Truck needed a power steering pump, the Red Sled is getting dismantled for parts allocation in an upcoming project, and Clampy busted both rear spring center pins the last time out. As a result, going wheeling would involve wrenching, and for some reason I just didn't feel like opening up the tool box or my wallet for required parts. I just needed a break from smog-encrusted Los Angeles for a few days. I needed a road trip.
Like most of you, my boss won't simply hand me the corporate gas card just because I want to go see the countryside. I needed a good excuse, and I found it in the company parking garage. The Ultimate Adventure 2007 Jeep JK, commonly referred to as the RubiWagon, was sitting on two flat tires, had a dead battery, and wasn't willing to start or run for some reason. This meant it had to be delivered back to Missoula, Montana, to the headquarters of American Expedition Vehicles for its two-year checkup. At least that's what I told the boss. Before he could question me I snaked the gas card, grabbed the keys to a '09 Dodge 1-ton test truck, and hitched up the 4-Wheel & Off-Road trailer. He was yelling about not spending too much money as I laid tracks out the office parking lot and pointed my bugout vehicle north.
