Utah State (2-0) vs.#17 Arizona (1-1-0)/Washington State (1-0-1)
Friday, Sept. 1, 5 p.m. (MST) / Sunday, Sept. 3, 11 a.m. (MST)
Univ. of Utah Fall Classic - Salt Lake City, Utah
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State soccer travels to Salt Lake City, Utah to participate in the University of Utah Fall Classic. The schedule for those matches has been slightly modified, with the same match times, just switching the opponents. The Aggies will face #17 Arizona on Friday, Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. (MST) and Washington State on Sunday, Sept. 3 at 11 a.m. (MST), with both matches at Utah's Ute Field.
Host Utah will face Washington State on Friday at 7:30 p.m. (MST) and take on Arizona on Sunday at 1 p.m. (MST).
The Aggies take a 2-0 ledger into the weekend after beating Idaho State, 1-0, last Friday, Aug. 25, and edging Weber State, 1-0, in 2OT, Tuesday, Aug. 29.
Arizona is ranked No. 17 in the NSCAA/adidas Top 25 Poll and has a 1-1-0 record, beating Oakland (Mich.), 2-1, on Friday before falling at Michigan, 1-0 in 2OT, Sunday.
Washington State enters the weekend with a 1-0-1 mark on the season after hosting the Cougar Classic this past weekend. The Cougars opened the year with a 2-1 win over UNLV Friday before battling #25 Gonzaga to a scoreless draw on Sunday.
2-0 START - With the wins, the Aggies open the season 2-0 for the first time since 1998, when Utah State defeated Idaho State and Weber State, ironically the same two opponents as this year.
On 2-0 start: "To open 2-0 is a phenomenal start to the season, but we can't forget that our goal is to be the best team that we can be at the end of the season and make a run in the conference tournament and hopefully the NCAA Tournament. Even though we have these two wins under our belt, we feel that there are areas that we can improve upon to be an even better team."
On this weekend's matches: "This weekend we are certainly going to be tested. Arizona and Washington State are two tough Pac-10 teams, two talented, disciplined teams."
"I'm looking forward to playing Pac-10 teams, these are new teams on our schedule and we're thankful for Utah for inviting us to this tournament. We are looking to get some good results this weekend in two challenging matches. The Pac-10 is one of the toughest conferences in the country, so it is a great test for us to play some of the best teams in the country this early in the season."
PAC-10 OPPONENT HISTORY - Friday will be Utah State's first match against a Pac-10 team since 2001. The Aggies are 1-3-0 vs. Pac-10 teams, including a 0-1-0 record vs. Washington State, facing the Cougars in 1997. Utah State also is 1-1-0 against Arizona State and 0-1-0 with Washington.
The Aggies' lone match-up with Washington was a 4-1 loss to the Huskies in 2001, as former Washington player and current Utah State assistant coach Gina Brewer had a header for a goal in that meeting.
SERIES HISTORY - As mentioned previously, Utah State is 0-1-0 against Washington, as the Aggies lost, 2-0, in 1997 at Pullman, Wash.
This is the first meeting with Arizona.
HERE KITTY, KITTY - Friday will be the Aggies' second match-up against a team with Wildcats as their mascot, after Tuesday's match vs. the Weber State Wildcats... Sunday's match will be Utah State's fourth cat-family mascot match, after the Idaho State Bengals, the two Wildcats and the Washington State Cougars.
WAC START - The WAC continues with great start, with Utah State's win over Weber State moving the conference mark to 9-3-1.
HOME SWEET HOME - Counting the exhibition match on Aug. 19, Utah State has nine home matches this season. The Aggies are 1-0-0 at home so far this season and are 17-12-7 overall at home since moving to the Chuck and Gloria Bell Soccer Field in 2002. In the two years prior to their move to Bell Field, the Aggies were just 6-12 at home. They have gone 8-2-1 against conference opponents since bedding down at Bell Field.
BIG CROWD - Tuesday's attendance of 540 was the largest home crowd at a Utah State soccer match since 603 watched the Utah State vs. Utah match on Nov. 1, 2001.
LAST MATCH - Dana Peart netted the game-winner with less than four minutes left in the second overtime to give Utah State a 1-0 win over intra-state rival Weber State in soccer action Tuesday afternoon at USU's Chuck & Gloria Bell Soccer Field. The win gives the Aggies a 6-5-1 overall record against the Wildcats, claiming victory in four of the last five meetings, including the last three at Logan. Utah State also improves to 2-0 on the season for the first time since 1998.
Ironically, Utah State played Idaho State and Weber State in 1998, the Aggies' same two opponents to open this season. Utah State improves to 7-2-1 in its last 10 regular-season matches.
Peart, a junior midfielder from Brigham City, Utah, hit the back of the net from 12 yards out in the 106th minute after Weber State's goalkeeper Rebecca Ritchie had knocked out a cross. For Peart, it was her team-leading third point of the season to go with an assist in Friday's 1-0 win over Idaho State, and continues her hot start to seasons as last year she netted a goal in each of Utah State's first four matches.
Sophomore goalkeeper Ali Griffin made five saves to record her second-consecutive career shutout while making her second career start. Griffin also snared and denied numerous Weber State cross attempts.
OT STRUGGLES SNAPPED - Tuesday's overtime win broke a bit of bad luck for the Aggies, who notched their first extra time victory since 2004, after going 0-2-4 in overtime matches last season. The six overtime tilts were the most by an Aggie team since the 2003 team saw a similar six overtime matches, going 2-2-2. Utah State is now 6-13-11 all-time in extra minutes.
WAC PRESEASON POLL - Utah State was tabbed fifth in the Preseason WAC Coaches' Poll, as the Aggies garnered 29 points. Defending conference tournament champion Fresno State was the preseason favorite, getting 46 votes including five of the eight first-place votes. Hawai'i, last year's regular season champion, had two first-place votes and 42 points. San Jose State was third with 34 points, while Nevada had 31 points, including a lone first-place vote. Utah State was followed by Boise State (20), Idaho (14) and Louisiana Tech (8).
STRENGTH AND EXPERIENCE IN NUMBERS - The Aggies have 19 returning letterwinners and six starters from last season's squad that went 7-9-4 on the year, including 4-2-1 in WAC play.
Headlining the returners is senior forward Charity Weston (5-4, Layton, Utah/Layton HS/San Jose State), who was named to the all-WAC Preseason Team, as well as first-team all-WAC last season. With a repeat first-team honor can become the first player in USU history to be tabbed to the first-team all-conference list three-straight seasons. Weston led the Aggies and ranked fifth in the WAC with seven goals, as well as leading USU and ranking tied for fifth in the WAC with 18 points (seven goals, four assists).
Also returning is junior midfielder Dana Peart (5-2, Brigham City, Utah/Box Elder HS), who was second on the team with five goals, adding an assist for a total of 11 points.
Another returner to the Aggie lineup is senior forward Charlsie Harris (5-6, Taylorsville, Utah/Taylorsville HS), who missed the 2005 season with an injury. Harris was second on the squad with six goals in 2004.
Weston and fellow senior midfielder Sierra Smith (5-6, Salt Lake City, Utah/East HS) will be the 2006 team captains. Smith was tied for third on the team in points with seven on two goals and three assists.
Cairns welcomes eight newcomers to the ranks as well, the smallest freshman class under Cairns since seven in her first season in 2003.
CAIRNS CREEPING CLOSER - Entering her fourth season, Heather Cairns, already the winningest coach in USU soccer history by percentage, is just two wins shy of becoming the winningest head coach in Aggie soccer history for total victories. In her three seasons at the helm of Utah State, Cairns has compiled a 25-27-7 (.483) record in 59 matches, sitting four wins shy of Stacy Enos (1996-2000), who went 26-59 (.306) in five seasons with the Aggies.
A GOOD FORTUNE COOKIE - Twenty-two of USU's 26 goals last season and 18 of its 22 assists were scored by players returning in 2006. Thirteen of the goals and 11 of the assists were recorded by underclassmen.
FIRSTS - Last year Utah State matched its most conference wins in school history as it went 4-2-1... The Aggies also tallied four wins in 2003, 1999, and 1998... The .643 conference winning percentage is a new school record, while the second place tie in the WAC standings is also the best conference finish in the program's 10 seasons.
PEART POUNCES EARLY - Junior midfielder Dana Peart started off last season by netting the Aggies' lone goal in their 2-1 loss to Northern Colorado in an exhibition match and then went on to score the lone goal in each of Utah State's next three matches.
Peart has continued that hot start to a season with an assist in the Aggies' 1-0 win over Idaho State in the season-opener and scoring the game-winner Tuesday, giving her a team-leading three points on the season.
NOTE-ABLE - Defender Jessica Darrow was the only freshman to start all 20 matches for the Aggies in 2005, and one of six players on the roster to start all 20 matches, as well as one of seven to play in all 20 matches... USU is 2-0 when making fewer saves than the opponent, who have made 13 saves on year, compared to just seven for Utah State... The Aggies are 2-0 when having more corner kicks, as they have 11 compared to just three for the opposition.
ARIZONA - The Wildcats are ranked No. 17 in the NSCAA/adidas Top 25 Poll and have a 1-1-0 record, beating Oakland (Mich.), 2-1, on Friday before falling at Michigan, 1-0 in 2OT, Sunday.
Sophomore forward Gianna DeSaverio scored both of Arizona's goals in the win over Oakland. DeSaverio is one of 13 returners and is tied for the leading goal-scoring returner, netting three goals last season to go with one assist for eight points.
Last year Arizona posted an 11-8-3 record overall and 4-4-1 in Pac-10 play, finishing tied for fifth. The Wildcats made the program's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16, knocking off Utah in the first round and Weber State in the second round, before losing to eventual national-champion Portland in the Sweet 16.
Arizona was ranked No. 12 in the Soccer Buzz Magazine West Regional Preseason Poll, but have fallen down to No. 16 in this week's rankings.
WASHINGTON STATE - The Cougars are 1-0-1 on the young season after beating UNLV, 2-1, Friday in their first match in hosting the Cougar Classic before playing to a scoreless draw with No. 25 Gonzaga Sunday.
Junior midfielder Anna Miller and junior forward Brooke Bemis netted WSU's two goals. Bemis, along with junior forward Kim Bonnes and freshman midfielder Mallory Fox were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Washington State returned 14 letterwinners, including five starters from last season's 11-7-2 overall squad that was 4-4-1 in Pac-10 action, finishing tied for fifth, and just missing the NCAA Tournament.
The Cougars are ranked No. 13 in this week's Soccer Buzz Magazine West Regional Rankings, moving up from receiving votes in the preseason rankings.
Entering her fourth season, Heather Cairns (Canisius, 1994), already the winningest coach in USU soccer history by percentage, is just two wins shy of becoming the winningest head coach in Aggie soccer history for total victories. In her three seasons at the helm of Utah State, Cairns has compiled a 25-27-7 (.483) record in 59 matches, sitting four wins shy of Stacy Enos (1996-2000), who went 26-59 (.306) in five seasons with the Aggies.
This weekend will be Cairns' first meetings vs. both Arizona and Washington State.
Arizona is led by Dan Tobias (Cal Poly, 1987), who has a 33-26-5 record in his four seasons at the helm of the Wildcats and a 77-71-14 overall record in his nine years as a collegiate head coach.
Washington State head coach Matt Potter (West London, 1992) has a 26-25-8 mark in his four seasons leading the Cougars' program and in his collegiate head coaching career.
POLL POSITIONS - Utah State's 2006 schedule includes two teams ranked in the final NSCAA/adidas Top 25 Poll last season, as BYU was ranked No. 14 while Utah was No. 22. Three of the Aggies' 2006 opponents reached the NCAA Tournament last season, as BYU, Utah and Weber State all advanced.
Arizona is ranked No. 17 in the NSCAA/adidas Top 25 Poll, while four of the Aggies' 2006 opponents are recognized by Soccer Buzz Magazine's Preseason Top 30 Rankings. BYU is at No. 23 and Long Beach State is at No. 28. Arizona and Utah are among others receiving votes. In Soccer Buzz's West Regional Rankings, BYU is No. 7, Long Beach State is No. 9, while Utah and Arizona are 11th and 12th, respectively, and Washington State is among others receiving votes.
UP NEXT - Utah State will travel to San Francisco, Calif., to play in the City By The Bay Classic, facing former Big West foes Long Beach State on Friday, Sept. 8 at 8:30 p.m. (MST) and Cal State Northridge on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. (MST).
The Aggies return home to Chuck & Gloria Bell Soccer Field to host intra-state rival BYU on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 1 p.m. (MST).

Your preparation
For many sailors, myself included, the fun of a charter cruise starts before boarding the boat — it begins when preparing the itinerary. It's almost as if we are already there. It is also a good opportunity to test the behavior of your crew: Will they be easygoing or "bossy" about cruising plans?
Don't wait until you get to the charter base to prepare your cruising itinerary. Even if you decide to make changes after attending the precharter briefing, you at least will have a pretty clear idea of what the briefer is talking about. I suggest downloading a preset itinerary to use as a guideline. Sailonline.com has some 60 itineraries in the "Cruising Logs" section, written exclusively by charterers.
Use the cruising guide and chart at the same time to make a list of the places you want to visit. Always take into account your skills and those of your crew, as well as the prevailing winds — they will shape your itinerary — and currents. Plot the route, the distance and the sailing time for each segment. Most Caribbean charters generally involve shorter distances between anchorages, whereas in Europe distances between ports tend to be longer. Also, in many parts of Europe tide tables must be followed closely.
TIP: While plotting your itinerary, take notes on anything you have questions about or do not understand, and ask the briefer during the precharter briefing, which you must attend — with your chart, please. The briefer can give you the latest news and updates, like missing channel markers, etc.
Get familiar with the weather patterns for the area you'll be sailing, and make sure you know how to get your daily weather reports. This can be a challenge in exotic locations. Again, all cruising grounds are depicted with blue skies and gentle winds, but that is not always reality. In the Caribbean, depending on the season, the weather can be as brutal as almost anywhere else, and a sudden arrival of the "Mistral" in the Med can catch you completely unprepared.
TIP: For your first charter day, plan a short downwind or broad-reach sail. Try not to schedule a long upwind segment on your first day. Give yourself and crew time to unwind and take your marks on the boat. Keep that long beat for the middle of the week. You won't escape at least one of those, anyway.
A word of caution: Be careful about sunset times, especially in the Caribbean. The sun sets very quickly there, and you don't want to be caught sailing in the dark. Charter companies strictly forbid sailing after dark, and it can be a frightening experience navigating the many reefs and shallow areas.
There are two more things you should know when setting your itinerary:
• It often takes longer than expected to sail from Point A to Point B.
• Don't be too ambitious with your itinerary in terms of distance covered. Unless you have no choice, a reasonable day should cover 12 to 20 miles at most, depending on whether or not you are beating. Some areas are exceptions to this, but use this as a rule of thumb. It should allow you enough time to sail in the morning, stop for lunch, do some snorkeling and then sail in the afternoon to your night anchorage. Bear in mind that in the Virgin Islands, both British and U.S., during high season, anchorages are full by early afternoon.
When in doubt, reduce your itinerary unless you know the area well. If you try to cover too much in a day, you might arrive at your destination late, and there could be no moorings or safe anchorage room. As a result, you may find yourself in a difficult situation.
TIP: I always schedule at least a day or day-and-a-half per week of charter where we just stay put and relax. Choose an anchorage that has a lot to offer, like nice snorkeling, a great beach, hiking trails, or a good restaurant. A charter need not be a race — you're supposed to take it easy.
• The usual navigation tools are typically on board all charter boats, such as charts, dividers, parallel rules, pencils, handheld compass and binoculars. Keep in mind that binoculars on charter boats aren't always in good shape. Call the charter company in advance to make sure this gear will be on the boat. Again, if there's any doubt or you have gear that you prefer, bring your own.
• Charter boats today are equipped with GPS and/or a chart plotter, but no radar. Make sure the manual is on board, or you might end up frustrated trying to use it. I also bring my own handheld GPS — a very basic unit that is perfectly sufficient.
• Some charter companies send a "baby chart" of the cruising area with your chartering package. It will help you get a general feel for the area, but it is not to be used for navigation.
• Polarized sunglasses are crucial, especially in the Caribbean. They contrast the colors and eliminate glare, allowing you to see underwater and spot those coral heads.
• Keep your chart handy in the cockpit, but in a protected place so it does not fly away.
TIP: To avoid writing on my charts and damaging them, I use self-adhesive "stickies" to mark positions and make notes on the chart under sail.
What you must know
• It's crucial you know the navigation system of the area you will cruise and are able to clearly understand the markers and buoys. In the United States, South America and most of the Caribbean, the lateral system of "red-right-returning" is used, so the red markers must be on your starboard side when entering a channel to return to a marina or an anchorage. However, in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the red markers must be on your port side when returning.
• Understand how the depth sounder is set up. Before leaving, ask the briefer if the marked depth is the depth under the keel or under the hull. If the latter, add the depth of the keel to determine your clearance.
• The notion of right-of-way is interpreted rather loosely in many areas of the Caribbean. When in doubt, take evasive action, even if you unquestionably have the right-of-way and especially when you will cross the path of a local ferry.
• As I stated previously, you cannot sail a charter boat at night. Night navigation means real trouble because you will have no insurance coverage in the event of an accident. Pay close attention to your sailing time when planning your cruise and when leaving an anchorage for the next stop. When in doubt, be smart: Stay where you are and leave the next morning. Trust me on this.
• Know how to interpret the colors of the water. The lighter the color, the shallower the water. Very light blue/white indicates sand (good for anchoring), while dark black/brown indicates rocks and grass (poor holding). Again, polarized sunglasses will greatly enhance your ability to see reefs, rocks and coral heads.
• If you know you are going into a tricky segment of your trip, with reefs and narrow or shallow areas, plan to do it around midday, when the sun is directly overhead.
• Know how to use the VHF. At the briefing, you will be given the channels used locally and by the charter company in the area. Remember, channel 16 is the universal emergency channel and should not be misused. Also, you will be given the frequencies for local weather information at the briefing. Write this down carefully.
• Most importantly, when in doubt about anything, take the safest course of action. You will never look dumb; you'll be a prudent mariner

SimpleDesk! > Site Comments
Entire Teams in Team Page are On Hiatus
(1/3) > >>
In the team page the entire developers group has the "On Hiatus" badge (when I know that in the Project Tracker at least Nas has a normal Dev badge), and the same with Jerry and the Globalizers.
It's a bug.
In the case of Dev team, it's because I'm on hiatus - the badge shown is the one of the first person on the list, which for Dev team is me, and for Globalizers is Jerry.
It's been under discussion in the site bug tracker, though a couple of people actually are on hiatus, and so it may not be fixed as quickly as usual. :)
It appears to be that whichever badge the first person in a group has, that's the badge used for the group.
Arantor... too fast for me! :)
Ah, okie dokie. Well at least you guys know. :)

Applying Clausewitz to life other than war
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The other day it struck me that Clausewitz's classic observation that war makes even easy tasks difficult also applies to being depressed.
I wonder if some of his other classic thoughts can be similarly applied to other aspects of life. None occur to me. Is there anything else, for example, besides war that is an extension of politics by other means?

Where I stayed
Journey: Strahan , Zeehan, Rosebery, Tullah, Hellyer Gorge
Mieage at Strahan 12390 kms
Weather: cool wet start, sunny warm later
Saturday morning produced typical Strahan weather- drizzle and grey skies. We trudged off into and past town to get the exercise done and by noon had decided we would move on. We took advantage of the fabulous free untimed hot shower behind the Information Centre and felt like new pins before tucking into brunch.
!60 kms took us through Zeehan, with very interesting architecture but the town was deserted on this public holiday weekend,
luscious Rosebery which has 3.5 metres annual rainfall and was surrounded by imposing mountains and has the Stitt River, Stitt waterfall and Stitt park (we will check with our Kenmore neighbours if they have a connection to this "Stitt"
and finally little Tullah (name means "meeting of 2 rivers"); the lake here surrounded by dark mountains was so beautiful and we spent time just taking in the mood.
We were travelling through forest plantations when we reached Hellyer Gorge and joined others in this small pretty picnic park. We were 2 from NZ, 2 from Germany, 1 from New Caledonia, 2 Asians, 1 mystery man and the rest Aussies. We were in tents, campervans, large motor homes and caravans and we filled most of the space and we exchanged travel stories on this nice evening.
We took a rainforest walk to the Hellyer River before dinner which we enjoyed at the picnic table in the forest. Strangely there were few birds and no wild life around, perhaps because the surrounding forest belongs to Forestry Tasmania. We have noticed that in forestry areas there is no road kill and that suggests that there is no wild life; poisons and chemicals killing the creatures!!!???
We did see a gorgeous red robin and Kath remembered her dad singing "When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbing along, sweet song; wake up you sleepy head, come on get out of bed ………..the day is merry and bright….???"
It was a cool still night, later disturbed by a noisy, intrusive car of people who shone their lights on us, revved their engine, peeed , turned up the radio and sped off doing skids and yelling "Welcome to Tassie!" they were not heard of again and we all went back to sleep.

Release) With its performance and luxury, the Audi RS6 has
already made it into the history book of automotive future.

For customers like
these, KICHERER has a handful of agreeable solutions in stock. The
overall concept is called KICHERER Audi RS Street and consists of
several individual components.
First to mention, a from
Abt developed performance optimisation resulting in 700 hp has taken
place while the torque has made an incredible leap forward to 780
Consequently, the sprint

reach the 200 km/h barrier after about 13.0 seconds and the top
speed has been boosted up to more than 280 km/h.
If you like, you may
also ask for that 4-flow stainless steel exhaust system. It will not

awesome wall of sound.
The adequate cornering
capacities will be provided by a sports spring kit which has been
developed exclusively for the Audis high-tech chassis. Moreover,

corresponding rear diffuser which is also made of that precious
If the customer likes,
the two-colour design will bring the Kicherer Audi RS-Street overall
to utter perfection.

Great! Quiet, relaxed, clean, room and kitchenette ok, the pool superb! One of our daughters is allergic to soap and thus to a lot of chemicals that are used in swimming pools, but at the salt water pool of Seashells she had no problem at all. Small supermarket opposite the apartments, a big supermarket further down the road. One day we went to Omalos, to walk the Samaria Gorge, by taxi (Nikos Salavantakis, recommendable!), only a one hours drive. Came back by boat and bus.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
If Crawford returns on the team's timetable, he'll be back by late June or early July. That would leave him half a season to salvage 2012 before it becomes more lost than 2011.
"It's tough," he said. "You definitely want to be out there feeling good, swinging the bat well, feeling strong. I'm feeling the way I want to feel and then to have this setback is definitely disappointing. But it's something you can't control. It's not like it was your fault. It just happens and you've got to live with it."
History is littered with players who struggled through injuries or ineffectiveness around age 30 and then regained their All-Star form. Think Larry Walker, Darren Daulton, or closer to home, Carl Yastrzemski.
"That's definitely how I'm thinking," Crawford said. "I just feel like when I do come out of this, I'm going to be stronger and healthier than I've been in a long time. I don't want to look back after that."
Herald - LF Carl Crawford craves return to Sox lineup
At the very back of my mind I truly believe that when Crawford returns (whenever that may be) that he's going to be huge for the Red Sox. He's no Carl Pavano. He didn't sign that huge contract and then decide it was time to take it easy. He had been working as hard as ever to prove last season was a fluke before this setback. This injury is only going to fuel him more.
While having an All-Star caliber player like Crawford patrolling left would surely help the Sox, we have no reason to complain about his (and Ellsbury's) replacements.
I mocked Marlon Byrd's signing at the time, since he was coming to Boston with a .070 average after 43 at-bats in Chicago. Well, he's had 37 at-bats with Boston, and his average is a solid .297 during that span. Quite the turnaround, (even though he's only produced a single extra-base hit). While he leaves a bit to be desired at the plate, he's not an instant out and he's been solid in the field. For an emergency replacement, I'm pleased.
The Cody Ross - Ryan Sweeney duo has been one of the most pleasant surprises for the Sox as well. Sweeney is batting .361 after 21 games with 12 doubles and a triple. Ross is at .268 with 5 home runs and 18 RBIs (all better numbers than Gonzalez). Both have had their fair share of clutch hits this season, too.
While I'd love to see Crawford back in the lineup tonight, his return isn't nearly as pressing as it seemed back in March.
On Page 2, the worst is confirmed for Mo
Now we learn tonight that Rivera injured his right knee while trying to make a leaping catch in the outfield during batting practice in Kansas City. He has a torn ACL and is done for the season.
Plenty of people hate the Yankees, but Rivera has earned respect even in Boston. He transcends the rivalry in a way few have.
Rivera is one of the best people in baseball and is nearing the end of a remarkable career, having hinted in spring training that he planned to retire. He deserves to go out throwing that cutter, not on the disabled list.
Here's hoping we get to see to see him pitch again.
Globe - Torn ACL for Yankees' Rivera
I can't see Rivera going out like this. He'll be back. He has to.

sixth bill before me today is Introductory Number 842, sponsored at the request
of the Administration by Council Members Weprin, Comrie, and James. This bill establishes the Fulton Street
Business Improvement District in the Clinton Hill and Fort Greene
neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
"This new
Business Improvement District is comprised of over 200 commercial businesses
including upscale clothing boutiques, multicultural eateries, laundromats, postal services, hair salons and
hardware stores. The budget for the
first year of operation is $300,000.
"Business Improvement Districts, also known as 'BIDs,'
are voluntarily formed community organizations that promote business development
and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods across the City. Established by local law, BIDs are
self-funded by local property owners and are overseen by the City's Department
of Small Business Services. BIDs
are valuable economic tools that strengthen and stabilize commercial and
industrial areas.
Fulton Street BID, the eighteenth established under our Administration, and the
second along Fulton
Street, will provide maintenance and sanitation
services, security services, marketing and promotion of local businesses,
holiday lighting, economic development, beautification and landscaping. The services provided to the community
are essential to ensuring that small businesses, and the neighborhoods in which
they operate, are given every opportunity to succeed.
would like to thank Small Business Services Commissioner Rob Walsh and his staff
for their role in establishing this BID.
I also want to acknowledge the important contributions of the members of
the Fulton Street BID Steering Committee and the City Council.

Stories making headlines across New Zealand this morning include a young italian couple caught out allegedly having pooed on a church lawn while helpful locals were trying to extract their stuck campervan, a Gisborne group trying to stop global warming with prayers, and it seems "The GC" crew have last laugh as they point out "any publicity is good publicity."
On the West Coast, a young Italian couple freedom camping behind a Catholic Church got caught out allegedly defecating on a lawn after their campervan got bogged down during their getaway and a car, tractor and digger all got stuck trying to pull them out.
The Mozzie blokes on "The GC" are having a great laugh along with their "aunties" about reaction to the show, because "That's what we want because anyone with a comment is adding to the hype and making it bigger and better." One of those adding to the hype is serious TV producer Sumner Burstyn, who described the show as an "excretal piece of sh*t ."
Maori Affairs Minister Pita Sharples has got them going in the Bay of Plenty after calling for compulsory teaching of Maori in all schools.

Cooking Confessions
I like to create recipes, modify others and dabble in the kitchen. There are A LOT of things I still need to learn--that's what Food Network and Cooking Channel are for, right?
I thought it would be a little fun to share what I'm really like in the kitchen--my philosophy, quirks etc. So here goes . .
-I hardly ever measure unless I'm baking and sometimes even then I like to take matters into my own hands thus I am a horrible baker.
-There is a two second rule . . right????
-I love food and everything about it--look at it, taste it, touch it, smell it . . .ahhhhhhhh
-Organs are not meant to be eaten. In fact, sometime I wonder if flesh should be either.
-I could easily be a vegetarian.
-Even though I'm in the kitchen a lot . . I don't own an apron.
-I didn't feel like a real cook until I got my KitchenAid mixer.
-If I could only make one recipe to eat the rest of the my life it would be Spanish rice--my version.
-If I ever run into Bobby Flay, I'd faint right on the spot.
-My favorite go-to ingredient is garlic.
-Currently I'm obsessed with food trucks. Just ask my friend, Janna.
-It would be nice to have my own private chef. Sometimes a break would be nice.
What are your cooking confessions?

As I am getting older and a little more knowledgeable in the kitchen - it is much more enjoyable. Nice that the kids will try more foods, too.
But, in a New York minute, I would have a cook if money were no object. Or at least a house cleaner so I can have more time to actually enjoy cooking....

Garlic goes into pretty much everything I make. My hubby says my hands ALWAYS stink. Smells good to me!
My confession (just don't tell my dinner guests) is that I find a dog hair in just about every dish that comes out of my kitchen!!!
- September 27, 2010 at 7:39 PM
Confessions --
* I have a lot of grain in my kitchen and little time to bake recently. *sigh*
* My husband says that I never make the same recipe the same way twice -- which is terrible when I get it right!
* My favorite way to cook steak is in the oven on a cast iron grill -- but it sets off the fire alarm every. single. time.

The Coalition is considering reintroducing a cap on university places despite emphatically ruling it out last year while in opposition.
The minister for education, Christopher Pyne, has confirmed he is considering reintroducing the cap on university places as well as abolishing the compulsory fee paid by students to fund campus services and scrapping the targets that were introduced by Labor to allow more disadvantaged students to enter university.
Pyne last year rejected reports that the Coalition would reintroduce university caps if they won government.
"Reports that this is being considered are wrong. In fact, the Coalition strongly supported the uncapping of university place," Pyne said at the time.
"While we welcome debate over the quality and standards in our universities, we have no plans to increase fees or cap places."
He repeated his claim that the Coalition would not cap university places in July this year on ABC's 7.30 report saying: "We have no plans to restore the cap. We do believe that the more students who are doing university, the better. But we do need to address concerns in the industry that there is a diminution of quality."
After Kevin Rudd became prime minister in June his innovation minister, Kim Carr, flagged capping university places as part of a review of cuts to the sector.
In interviews with both Fairfax Media and News Corp Australia newspaper the Australian, Pyne flagged re-introducing caps saying he would review whether the uncapping of places was impacting the quality of a university education.
Labor uncapped the number of Commonwealth funded university places leading to 190,000 more students being able to attend university.
Interim opposition leader Chris Bowen criticised Pyne's decision to review capping university places saying the Labor party was proud to have allowed hundreds of thousands more students into universities.
"To abolish the demand driven system would be a blow to Australian regional universities, to Australian Catholic University, to universities right across the country that have been important in driving this massive expansion in university allocations," he said.
"Now this is a clear breach of commitment from the Liberal Party...they've been in office a week and we see them walking away from core commitments; we see them walking away from their promises."
The Labor government also introduced targets for almost half of 25 to 34-year-olds to hold a university degree by 2025 and increasing the university participation rates of students from low-socio economic backgrounds to 20% by 2020.
Pyne has said he will scrap both targets along with the student union-style compulsory fee introduced in 2011 to help pay for student services. The fee was introduced after the Howard government switched to voluntary student unionism in 2005.
The fee was used to pay for services such as on campus childcare and student newspapers.
The Regional Universities Network executive director, Caroline Perkins, said regional universities would suffer the most from proposed changes with services on campus suffering and regional students denied a place in university.
The Coalition is also planning to introduce legislation proposed by the Gillard government which would result in $2bn worth of savings on university spending.
Former prime minister Julia Gillard introduced the policy to help pay for the Gonski school funding reforms but it is not clear where the Coalition will direct the money.
Pyne's office has been contacted for comment.

Our Beautiful Island
Man-O-War Cay is a tiny island just off Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas. It is known for its boat building history, which dates back hundreds of years. Tourists have only recently begun to visit this small cay. Residents live on the cay year round and are quite religious and very conservative, so rowdier visitors are steered towards the more lively islands in the Abacos. There are few restaurants or places to stay in Man-O-War, so many people only visit for the day to take in the marvelous beaches around the island. There is a hotel and some local residents will rent out private homes to those wishing to spend their vacation in Man-O-War, but they are very discerning about who they will allow to stay. For those who wish to spend their holiday in complete relaxation, the quiet nature of Man-O-War Cay will be a delightful reprieve from the bustle of some of the other islands of the Bahamas.
Things To Do
If you are planning on spending some time on Man-O-War Cay, Man-O-War Marina is the place to go to arrange anything to do with watersports. Sail boat and motor boat rentals are available and there is also a dive shop there for those who are interested in diving the clear blue waters surrounding the cay.
Man-O-War is a short ferry ride from Marsh Harbour, making events on other islands easily accessible.
Places To Go
As with neighboring cays and islands, Man-O-War was settled by Loyalists, and a trip to this cay is like stepping back in time. The pastel colored homes and white picket fences will make visitors feel like they are visiting a New England fishing village, and residents are very proud of their heritage, including the boat-building tradition.
This island really is tiny, only about 2 miles long and as narrow as 100 m in some sections, and has some interesting landscape to visit. The Narrows is a section of island that is only about 10m wide, with a beach on each side of a roadway formed on a natural outcropping of rock.
While there are a few restaurants to visit while on the cay, it is worth noting that this is a dry island. In other words, no alcohol is available on the island, although you can bring your own with you.
Getting Around The Island
The best way to get around Man-O-War Cay is either by walking or golf cart or bicycle rentals. The roads are narrow and often unpaved outside the center of the town, which means that golf carts or other very small vehicles only can pass here.
Getting To and From The Island
To travel to Man-O-War, a ferry travels regularly from Marsh Harbour. Visitors arriving in the Bahamas by air will have to fly into Marsh Harbour and either rent a boat of some type or take the ferry.
Man-O-War Cay is the perfect location for those looking for a quiet, family-oriented holiday. The quaint village and lovely beaches, combined with the relaxed ambiance make this the perfect choice for a tropical getaway.

Ripoff Report
Sears Home Improvement4523 Green Point Dr #113 Greensboro, North Carolina USA
Sears Home Improvement Overpriced, Over-promised, Under-delivered Greensboro North Carolina
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My kitchen does look 100 Times better. However, the experience was excruciatingly painful, way too expensive for what I received and required way too much effort on my part to ensure that it was completed. My rating and comments below:
Design – Very good
Installation/Contractors – Poor
Cabinet guy installed almost all hardware unplumbed/unleveled. When he came back to correct it over 2 months later he scratched on of the counter tops and left a shoe-print beside the scratch.
Counter tops guys installed one section that was obviously 1/8 in short and a poorly polished inside corner. They did send someone out to fix it.
New Sink so deep plumber couldn't re-install garbage disposal and took it with him. I paid Sears to take away my garbage disposal. Neither of the 2 sales/design consultants mentioned that this could be a possibility, but when I searched the web I find forum after forum on this exact topic. [continued below]....
Follow-up/ Communication – Poor
Disc they gave me was blank
The only follow-up phone call was the automated survey. I rated all questions the lowest.
After the poor cabinet installation I h ad to send several emails, make several phone calls which were never returned until I stated copying Sears Holdings and even they referred me to a phone number.
10X10 kitchen took almost 3 months to complete Feb 4-April 25, 2013!!
Value – Poor
Cabinets – very nice but way over-priced $8900
Counter tops – cheapest quality and over-priced (Hanex – it's some kind of polymer resin wrapped around MDF) $2700. Sales person said they were man-made quartz, naturally anti-microbial and scratch-resistant – Lie!
Work not done per contract but charged:
I had to ask about this several times and I finally received a settlement letter on April 25, 2013 but still have not received the settlement as of June 16, 2013. Now I also see $250.00 for "Extra labor for electric/plumbing if needed on slab". I didn't see any extra plumbing or electric labor.
I had asked several times for a pricing breakdown. After receiving the settlement letter I demanded it. I was told by some Regional Sales Manager "Sears Home Improvement doesn't supply us with that". I told him "I'm sure it can be subpoenaed" and the next day I got one. After examination of it I saw confirmation of what a total rip-off it is. The mark-up is ridiculous. There was also quite some misrepresentation. The sales/design lady told me the sink was "free" with the counter tops/installation ($308.00 + CT removal $292.00, finished cut out and sink mounting $825.00); the cabinet hardware was "free" with the cabinets/installation ($756.00).
Rewards Points:
Took forever to get this worked out
I would not recommend Sears Home Improvement to anyone. And because of this experience, my relationship with all things Sears is over. I will never shop there again, after spending my 14,000 rewards points.

UW astronomer has faith in science and God
Scientists should be more open-minded
Astronomer Eric Agol is agile enough to have faith in both science and a higher power, faith that this 13.6 billion-year-old universe, and everything in it, has an ultimate Source other than itself ["UW astronomer finds planet, keeps the faith," page one, April 27]. Too bad only 51 percent of his scientist colleagues are open-minded enough to do the same — to walk and chew gum at the same time.Someday, perhaps, our politically-correct culture will celebrate not only the one-in-a-million discovery of a special new planet, but also the one-in-one new universe — the unique DNA and beating heart and all — found within and apart from each pregnant mother.

Not backpacking related but…My wife was in a car accident recently and based on the damage its likely that the insurance is going to scrap the car and call it a total loss. Its an older Honda Civic and the damage is pretty extensive. I was wondering if anyone has experience dealing with a car insurance company and a total loss of a vehicle. I could use some advice on how to deal with the insurance company.Feb 8, 2011 at 12:26 pm #1694101

Hi Jeff,
Hope your wife's okay!
Who was at fault and whose insurance is paying? No matter which, expect to be offered a low settlement value, which you're free to counteroffer. Above all, don't be in a hurry.
Lots of good info, here:
Good luck,
RickFeb 8, 2011 at 12:56 pm #1694108
Thanks for the link Rick. Wife is doing great. It was a little scary because she's 6 months pregnant, but mom and baby are alright. The other driver was at fault and its likely that their insurance will be paying. They're still investigating but its a pretty clear cut case. I just want to make sure I have my ducks in a row when I need to start negotiating because I know they'll start out low. So far I'm just researching what the car is going for in the local market.Feb 8, 2011 at 1:34 pm #1694117

Jeff – glad to hear your wife is okay.
On Jan 12th, my wife was t-boned in our van with two kids aboard. They were all okay but the side power door was very damaged. However, the van still drove just fine. We just used the other door…..
In any event, because the estimate to fix was over 75% of the market value of the van, they are writing it off. Let me be clear. It still drives.
It is an age issue – a 2002 Honda Odyssey with 190K KM. We were shocked but happy with the payout as it was based on local market conditions and was higher than we expected. I wasn't too happy about having to purchase another family unit so soon but again, the market price was reasonable.
I can't specifically comment on your situation because local insurance laws may differ. I am in Alberta, Canada for frame of reference.Feb 8, 2011 at 1:37 pm #1694118

My wife and I have been through this twice in the last 4 years (both times the other drivers fault). The insurance company uses software to do just what you are doing — survey the market to find the range of values for your car for your area (every company in the US uses the same software).
Make them give you a list of the cars they are using to determine what they will pay for property loss, and make sure that the specs match your vehicle. Be sure to add the value of any special options your car might have.
There should also be a separate payment for "pain and suffering" that will be some multiple of any medical bills, lost time from work, etc.Feb 8, 2011 at 1:43 pm #1694120

Hi Jeff,
That is good news indeed. Wow, that must have been gut-wrenching for everybody.
Your insurance company should be taking the lead with gathering the police report and going after the other insurance company. If you've been assigned a case manager, stay in consistent contact with that person to ensure they're working aggressively towards a settlement–squeaky wheel and all. Believe me, the other company will be motivated to settle given their client hit a pregnant woman. Can you imagine what would happen to them in court? (Come to think of it, some pics of your wife and the car wouldn't be a bad idea.)
Best wishes,
RickFeb 8, 2011 at 3:56 pm #1694173
Its nice to hear about other people's experiences. Just found out from our insurance that the other company is accepting 100% liability. So that's good. I'll be contacting them tomorrow. I'm guessing they'll have the car inspected, so I'll take it from there. I'm hoping that it doesn't get totaled, but its older ('98 civic), so there's a good chance it will.Feb 8, 2011 at 4:09 pm #1694175

I do this as part of my work. Once they accept liability, expect them to make an offer based on fair market value, at least in most states. NADA has a website and can give you a decent estimate. Also make sure you ask them to pay for loss of use(ie rental car) from the time of the wreck through the time it should take you to replace it. Even if you don't get a rental, they will often pay for it.Feb 8, 2011 at 4:11 pm #1694176

If it is totalled, but you still want to fix it, they will likely sell the salvaged vehicle to you for a few hundred dollars.Feb 8, 2011 at 5:32 pm #1694233

If you have done any major work recently like an engine rebuild, trans rebuild , or in my case new catalytic converter, raise this issue once you've received an offer. You will have to produce receipts but I managed to increase my settlement for the full price of the parts and labor. On the negative side of the equation I was unable to find an equally good truck because my 81 toyota pickup was a long bed with a one ton axle I put in it that Toyota scrapped to make more $ with their bloated Tundras and the T100. There are professional negotiators who can help you in these cases. And I wouldn't settle any medical claims very soon . Sometimes things develop well after the fact.Feb 8, 2011 at 6:13 pm #1694251

Assuming the other driver was at fault, you might also be do some pain and suffering money. When my car got totaled by a drunk driver (in 1995), my father and I each got $1000, despite only having minimal injuries (a burn for me and some back pain for my father). But I think that the stress alone was worth at least that much money.
If the other driver's insurance company doesn't offer, you could ask. And if they say no at first, it wouldn't hurt to intimate that a lawsuit might be coming. The stress of going through a bad accident and having to replace your car, even if there are no injuries, should be worth something.Feb 8, 2011 at 7:16 pm #1694300

Ben Crocker's advice re salvage can be a very worthwhile option. I had a "friend" whose Tacoma was totaled a few years back and the other drivers co. ( All-State ) refused to pay the amount necessary to effect a complete repair in this market ( came up @ $1500.00 short ) and when he insisted the payment proposed was not adequate the insurance co. said take it or we'll total it. He was advised by a friend very knowledgeable in auto insurance claims to take the total payment and salvage the vehicle ( buy it from the insurance co. Once the company put forward a total payment he called and got the salvage value which was a fraction of the Total value and substantially lower than the $ to repair + the salvage value. In this case the vehicle was not "mortally" injured but rather cosmetically and he was able to have it perfectly repaired in a different market for about half the original repair estimate. If the chassis or drive train has been damaged or you have a good mechanic friend who gives repair the thumbs down then forget this plus you may not be able to work out the repair/salvage on favorable terms but it in this case it changed the situation quite favorably from a losing deal to a very nice winning deal.
Another thing that could help in your case and in fact has helped in many pretty high dollar negotiations I've been involved in is to do nothing at least as far as initiating discussions or even responding to the other side's offers until you absolutely must; especially in a case like this where there's only the 2 of you and no 3rd parties; all the while carefully examining your options. It's amazing how people will in effect negotiate against themselves by for example upping their own original offers when you simply don't respond. Plus big insurance companies are under pressure to get cases closed and move on AND they also have that per diem meter running on paying for your daily transportation expenses while they try to get you to settle for less. Hey maybe they'll pay you fairly……… yeah right.. Also good advice on "settling' or waiving rights to a future medical claim.Feb 8, 2011 at 7:53 pm #1694317

And then comes actual litigation. In the case of my wife, T-boned while a visiting driver timed some lights and freely admitted fault we still has to hire a personal injury lawyer because my wife's injury fell into the nexus of fibromyalgia a "soft injury case" effectively stonewalled by the defense.I have a legal background. They lost we won but they were as sleazy as possible. We were adopting at the time and they used our medical records to assail every possible motive we could have had. I'm disgusted with the process. My advice to you is to release no information, hire a defense attorney and prepare for the worst. If I'm wrong well congrats. If I'm right , then pass it on.Feb 8, 2011 at 8:34 pm #1694335

The problem with buying the asset back through salvage is that it will always have the history of being written off, even if re-certified. If resale is a consideration, this may be an issue.Feb 10, 2011 at 11:59 am #1695013

I am an insurance agent with AAA and I used to be a claims adjuster with AAA.
Some advice for you on settling your claim.
1. I would opt to go through your own policy, assuming you have collision coverage.
When you go through the other insurance company for either repairs or a total loss settlement, you are treated differently as a claimant vs. insured. Basically, if you are the claimant against the other responsible person's policy…that insurance company's sole obligation is to their client, not you. Example: If you have your car repaired through the other person's insurance policy, the other insurance company will have you sign a Release of All Liability form before they give you a check for the cost of the repair and rental car that you might need while your car is in the shop. Once you accept the check and sign the form, you have no recourse for futher assistance. Example: 4 months after the car is repaired, you hear a rattle in the car and take it back the shop that fixed the car. If the rattle is found to be related to the accident, then you have to pay for additional repairs out of pocket…..no option to go back to the other insurance company. If you had gone through your own insurance policy via the Collision coverage, your insurance company may have the ability to reopen your claim and pay additional money to fix your car. (This is what our policy would do). Bottom line, your own policy may have guarantees for you for work done on your vehicle. (Often this guarantee applies if you use a body shop recommended by your insurance company vs. one that you pick). Note: going through your own policy may have the issue that you have to pay your deductible and then seek reimbursement for your deductible once your insurance company recovers all the money that they spend on fixing your car and setting you up with a rental car…process called subrogation. Again, bottom line….when your insurance company gets their money back, you can get your deductible back.
2. Issues of Total Loss vs. Getting Repaired
Often, if the initial estimate for the repair of your car is 50% or more of the market value of your car, it is likely that the insurance company is going to start thinking about totaling your car vs. fixing it. (This percentage could be higher before they consider totaling the car if the value of the car is significant, such as an $80k vehicle). Reason for this, it is very common that once the repairs are done and panels are removed from your car, there will be additional damage found and would increase the cost of the repair. An insurance company does not want to get into a situation where they know that the damage is 50% min and then after the work is done that that cost balloons to 80% of value and there might be issues if the vehicle will still be safe for you to drive. Bottom line, your claims adjuster will be working with the body shop and checking their computer systems, which has labor rates and materials cost based on your Zip Code to determine how much the cost of the repairs might run vs. value of vehicle.
3. What do you do if the vehicle is deemed a total loss and options?
Two options for a total loss….you get ACV (Actual Cash Value/market value) of your vehicle, less any collision deductible and you get a check from your insurance company you sign paperwork essentially selling your car to your insurance company and they dispose of the vehicle for you. Other option is for you to retain the car, but the registrations will be branded/listed as a Salvage vehicle. Having Salvage Title will greatly reduce any possible resale value of the car, as it lets any potential buying know that your car has suffered significant damage in the past. Bottom line, your resale value is going to be significantly lower than any BLUE BOOK value.
If you want to keep your car in it's damaged state here is how the math would work:
Let's say your ACV/Market Value is $3500.00 for the vehicle.
The Salvage value (value of the car in its damaged state) is $1500.00
Your Deductible is $500.00
$3500.00 less $1500.00 (because you are keeping the car) less $500 Deductible =
$1500.00 Check in your pocket with possible $500 more back if your insurance company collects all the money back that they spent on you & your deductible.
Hope that makes sense.
4. What to do to prepare for a possible Total Loss
Remove all your valuables from your car that you would want to keep because it maybe towed from the body shop to be scrapped. Better to get your stuff out vs. chasing the car down to another city, depending on where the insurance company disposes of its cars.
Start researching your local news paper, LOCAL craigslist for real cars available for sale in your area that same make, model, year…approximate same mileage. Your insurance company will provide you with what it thinks is a good/fair value for your car. If you disagree and want more money, you need to have some evidence of why they should give you more money. They can send someone out to look at the comparable cars for sale that you found to make sure it is not better than your car. Just realize that often what someone ask for in an ad is not what it would sell for, but it is a starting point.
If there were any injuries in the accident, you will have a Bodily Injury claim against the other insurance company for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering. Your insurance company can not help you legally pursue the other party. They can help defend you from a lawsuit, but not help you go after someone else.
In CA, the statue of limitation for settling an injury claim is 2 years, but you might want to check with your company about the laws where you are.
I have not been in claims for 12.5 years….been an agent for the past 12.5 years.
Hope this helps you out and please feel free to ask me any questions.
-TonyFeb 10, 2011 at 12:20 pm #1695027
Thanks for the info everyone. My insurance directed me to contact the other insurance company since they are accepting full liability. Before that happened, I had the car inspected with a shop my insurance company recommended. After the inspection the guy who inspected it told me that mercury would likely total the car based on the damage and cost of repair and recommended I start looking up values of similar cars in the area to make sure I get a good settlement.
I've contacted the other insurance company to get everything settled. They're paying for a rental and have asked me to get the car inspected. I'm guessing they'll come to the same conclusion and total the car. Its an older car and there's a lot of damage. I'd rather just negotiate with the insurance regarding the actual cash value of the car rather than have it fixed or buy it back from them and fix it.
I've already been researching the value of similar cars in the area, so it seems I'm on the right track. The other insurance company said a "medical" claims adjuster would be contacting us regarding my wife's injuries. I'll be careful with them because I'm sure they're looking to make a small pay out and limit liability. Right now my wife is going to the chiropractor and getting massages due to soreness and some back pain.
Filing a lawsuit will be a last resort decision. I'm an attorney and can handle that if I need to, but I'd rather not take it that far.Feb 10, 2011 at 12:54 pm #1695038

Tony; all that and great trip reports too! I loved the report on Deadmans.
David, (and Tony) You are certainly correct re: the title reflecting salvage and a total loss. I meant to add this in the earlier but forgot. Always felt like this was a cheap shot from the Insurance Co (and State) since in my case the damage was totally cosmetic. My Tacoma at the time was 9 years old and had @ 50K miles and was in mint condition so the total loss wasn't a true reflection of the value; but then I was being shorted on the repair. The salvage was the only thing kept it from being a bad loss but since I really like that vehicle and plan to drive it till the wheels fall off things worked out though every year when I renew the registration and get that total loss/ salvage registration it's like a little pinprick of a reminder.Feb 10, 2011 at 12:56 pm #1695039

The good thing is that the other carrier has accepted liability.
I believe that in the case of children that are injuried in an accident, the statute for time for a claim is extended to the age of 18.
Does not sound like you have anything serious, but thought I would add what I think I know.
If the other company is smart, they should take care of you and make you happy on the loss of your car, given that your wife is pregnant.
Good luck to you on your claim.
Glad you liked the Trip Report….Deadman Canyon was an amazing place.
If you can get out there, it is worth it.
As for your claim, seems odd that they totalled the vehicle, unless it simply depreciated like crazy. You had low mileage and it was in good shape. That said, if you had multiple panels of your car damaged, the cost can sky rocket.
Last year, we had a client jump the curb with a X5 BMW and hit our building- wedgeing the car between our building and a column.
Both sides of the car were scrapped up pretty good….mechanically, the vehicle was sound but it was a total loss.

I'm glad all's well with your wife. Please make sure to add the cost of her medical tests post this accident to your claims bill. Also, any car rental, and wages lost due to her being away from work. Car insurance companies certainly expect all these to form part of your claim anyways though they might not be very forthcoming with the information initially.

How do people decide what to keep for posterity? Why hang onto the 1932 guidelines for Civil Service exams, a letter from an Italian gentleman you never even met, a dinner invitation, a letter congratulating you on a job well done? These questions came to mind forcibly as I worked briefly this week with a small collection donated to us by the Archives at Queens Borough Public Library a couple of years ago. This small collection of papers belonging to several members of the Rainone family, and their brother-in-law Ernest Morra, throws light on the immigrant journey of an Italian-American family living in Brooklyn in the early to mid-twentieth century. The family patriarch, Carlo Rainone, had worked as a barber to support a numerous family, allowing his son Michael to advance into a career in medicine, while the four girls who did not marry all seem to have found gainful employment in offices or educational settings.
Is this Louis Rainone? Who is the little girl?
For whatever reason, each family member kept papers that were important to him or her: for son-in-law Ernest Morra, documentation of his business successes was paramount; for son Michael Rainone, his certification as a doctor; for daughter Lucy, her writing; for Julia, a few personal letters and some photographs sent by a relative named Louis Rainone; and for Adelina, invitations to events celebrating her long working life.
Picture of German cemetery somewhere in North Africa sent to Julia by Louis.
Another of Louis's World War II pictures
Fragmentary and superficial as they may be, these documents allow us to see the trajectory of a family from Italy to Brooklyn and Queens, from working class to lower middle class occupations, and to note the different degrees of success that were likely for the men and women of the era. That's making the best of what one otherwise might call a bad job; for so random are these scraps of text, these photographs without captions, that they seem to call out, "Name me!" "Explain me!" Clearly little planning went into the compilation of this material. We do not know what other legacies these people left; but in the sad detritus of five lives richly lived for all we know, we catch only a fleeting glimpse of the striving, the successes and disappointments, the hope and promise of youth turning into decades of employment in the same job.
With the meteoric rise of interest in genealogy, we are more aware now of the value of family and personal papers. For those wishing to select, arrange and preserve their family memories, excellent resources are available, such as the Northeast Documentation Center's Hints for Preserving Family Collections or the National Archives and Records Administration's Caring for Your Family Archives.
Little did I know it then, but around the age of ten my own fate as a librarian/archivist was already sealed--I went through my family's entire photograph collection writing names on the backs of images, in pencil.

CSX Corporation (NYSE:CSX) will release its third quarter earnings Tuesday, October 18. In the third quarter, we expect CSX to report greater revenues and earnings year-over-year. Improved rail traffic in the last month will likely increase revenue for the company while increased expenditure on expansion projects might put some pressure on the earnings. Its competitors, Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) will also report their earnings in the next two weeks.

Rail Traffic Recovery Positive for Railroad Companies
As per a Association of American Railroads (AAR) report, rail traffic in September 2011 increased compared to September 2010. In its release the association stated, "Through the third quarter of 2011, U.S. carloads are at 87% of the levels they were at this point in 2006, the highest year on record for U.S. rail traffic. Intermodal volume in the first nine months of 2011 is 96% of what it was in the peak year of 2006." [1]
In addition, U.S. rail carload in September 2011 grew by 1.1% compared to in September 2010. Of the 20 commodities tracked by AAR, 13 saw increases in September this year as against last year. [2] This includes U.S. rail carloads of coal, which increased by 1.2%.
This uptick in the traffic activity will help drive revenues for all rail transportation companies like CSX. Rail is the most efficient way to move large natural resources like coal, oil, timber and other heavy freight, and so as the economy slowly recovers, we expect CSX to do well.
Costs Involved in Expansion Projects

Vice President Joe Biden and Mitt Romney continued their respective campaigns' sparring over Israel.
In a speech Tuesday in Reno, Nev., to the Veterans of Foreign Wars annual conference, Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said President Obama had distanced the United States from Israel.
"Even at the United Nations, to the enthusiastic applause of Israel's enemies, he spoke as if our closest ally in the Middle East was the problem," Romney said.
Obama, in speeches to the United Nations, has called for Israel to freeze settlement building, but also has emphasized the U.S.-Israel relationship, noted the Palestinians' recalcitrance and chided the body for singling out Israel.
Most of the Israel section of Obama's most recent U.N. speech, last September, described the threats facing Israel.
"Let us be honest with ourselves: Israel is surrounded by neighbors that have waged repeated wars against it," he said.
Biden, through the Obama campaign, released a long statement blasting the entire Romney speech, with a lengthy paragraph devoted to defending Obama's Israel record.
"Contrary to Governor Romney's outrageous accusation that the President joined in the chorus of insults levied against Israel at the United Nations, President Obama has stood up repeatedly, publicly and often alone against efforts to delegitimize Israel at the U.N. and around the world," Biden said.
Also Tuesday, Biden talked about Middle East developments with a group of Arab-American leaders. The White House in a statement afterward did not identify the "thinkers and community leaders" at the meeting.
"In a wide-ranging discussion, members of the group shared their views on developments unfolding across the Middle East and the Vice President outlined the Administration's approach to this period of profound change," said the statement, which noted that other senior administration officials also addressed the group.
Obama, Biden and others have had similar meetings in recent months with a number of Jewish leadership delegations to the White House.
