No. We do not check your credit, or require a contract, deposit, or monthly commitment. We do offer monthly service, but you choose when you start a new month of service - we'll never charge you late fees or penalties if you decide not to start a new month right away.
RadioShack No-Contract Wireless offers great value in pay-as-you-go wireless service. With RadioShack No-Contract Wireless you can communicate with anyone, on any network, at any time, with no contracts and no hidden fees.
You can use your RadioShack No-Contract Wireless service all across the US! With nationwide RadioShack No-Contract Wireless plans you can now talk and text across the US and Puerto Rico. Click here to see the coverage areas for these plans. Based on the coverage provided with your service plan, if you are in a roaming coverage area, you'll see a roaming indicator on your phone and we'll play a message before connecting your call. Roaming rates will apply (25¢ per minute) and not all features on all phones are available while roaming.
Roaming provides customers the ability to use their RadioShack No-Contract Wireless service throughout the US and Canada even when outside the unlimited coverage area included in your rate plan. There is an additional charge for roaming calls.
RadioShack No-Contract Wireless customers must use their account balance to pay for roaming minutes.
The voice features that will work while you are roaming include voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, text messaging, 611, and 911.
While roaming, you may not be able to download content, access the mobile web, send/receive picture messages, or use any other data services. Click here to view RadioShack No-Contract Wireless data coverage map.
Click here to view RadioShack No-Contract Wireless Roaming rates.
With RadioShack No-Contract Wireless monthly plans, you decide which plan has the best unlimited features and the right number of included minutes for you. Whatever plan you select, when you pay your access fee, you'll have access to all the features included with your plan, as well as other services and features for an additional charge.
You will never be charged for things outside of your control (like receiving a text message or letting an incoming call go to voicemail), for managing your account (for example, calling Mobile Product Support), or certain other services (like calling 911 or browsing the Storefront).
Topping up is how you pay. When you top-up, you're adding funds to your account-you can add funds with a PIN, or you can add funds directly to your account. As you use your service, your account balance will be decreased. If you don't top-up before you use your funds, you may not have funds available when you want to use your service. If you don't top-up before your account expiration date, your account will expire and you'll lose any funds still in your account. You have 60 days to top-up after account expiration, or your account will be canceled and you'll lose your phone number. Remember - it's important to top-up!
You can pay with cash, credit card, or debit card at any RadioShack location, or call 1-866-750-7111
Topping-up your account extends your RadioShack No-Contract Wireless account expiration date, which applies to all funds in your RadioShack No-Contract Wireless account. When you top-up, your account expiration date is reset to 60 days from the date of your most recent top-up. If you don't top-up before your account expiration date, you lose any funds remaining in your account.
If you still have a balance when you reach your account expiration date, you will lose your balance. To keep from losing your balance, top-up prior to your account expiration date. Your new account expiration date will apply to the full balance on your account - both the existing balance and the top-up amount. Keep topping-up and you'll never lose your funds.
With RadioShack No-Contract Wireless monthly plans, you get a full month of service for one low rate. We offer a variety of monthly plans to choose from. You decide which plan has the best unlimited features and the right number of included minutes for you. When you are close to using the number of minutes included in your plan, we'll send you a text message to let you know. If you use all the minutes included with your plan, additional minutes are charged per minute. Services that are not included in your plan are charged per use (such as 411 directory assistance) or per minute (such as roaming).
We automatically start your month of service when you have enough funds in your account to pay for your plan. If you don't, we'll remind you to top-up and your new month of service will start when you're ready – just add enough funds to cover your plan and your new month will start right away. Don't worry - we'll never charge you late fees or penalties if you decide to wait before starting a new month.
With RadioShack No-Contract Wireless Muve Music plans, you get the convenience of pay-as-you-go monthly service plus you have access to unlimited song downloads, as well as ringtones and ringback tones. Click here for information about how Muve Music works.
Within the Nationwide Talk and Text Coverage Area, all incoming calls deplete minutes from the included minutes in the PAYGo rate plan. Outgoing calls will also deplete minutes from the rate plan. International calls and directory assistance carry a premium charge that requires funds in your account in addition to depleting minutes from the rate plan.
The following calls that will not deplete from the minutes included in your plan: a call that leaves a message in your voicemail. Also calls to 611, and 1-855-RSHELPU will not deplete minutes included in your RadioShack No-Contract Wireless rate plan.
Roaming calls made or received outside the Nationwide Talk and Text Coverage Area will not deplete minutes included in your rate plan, but will require funds in your account balance for the per minute rate.
A month of service is one full calendar month. Your month starts on the day your monthly access fee is charged and ends at 11:59:59 PM (PT) one month later. For example, if you start a new month on December 12th, you'll have service until the end of the day on January 11th.
With RadioShack No-Contract Wireless monthly plans, you get the convenience of monthly service with the control of pay-as-you-go. We automatically start your new month of service when you have enough funds in your account to pay for your plan. If you don't, we'll remind you to top-up and your new month of service will start when you're ready; just add enough funds to cover your plan, and your new month will start right away. Don't worry - we'll never charge you late fees or penalties if you decide to wait before starting a new month.
Not necessarily. The funds in your account last until you use them or until your account expires, whichever comes first. You can extend your account expiration date by topping-up your account or by paying your access fee. Your account expiration date will reset to 60 days from the date of your most recent top-up or the last date your access fee was charged to your account. In both cases, the new account expiration date will apply to all funds in your account.
All new and existing RadioShack No-Contract Wireless subscribers will receive Nationwide Talk & Text Coverage as part of their rate plan.
All voice features will work in the Nationwide Talk & Text Coverage Area, including voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, text messaging, directory assistance (411), 611, and 911.
Nationwide Talk & Text Coverage allows you use your phone without roaming costs in all 50 states (including the top 125 cities nationwide) and Puerto Rico.
Roaming provides customers the ability to use their RadioShack No-Contract Wireless service throughout the US and Canada while outside the Nationwide Talk & Text Coverage area for an additional charge. Wireless customers can use their account balance or prepurchased roaming minutes to use RadioShack No-Contract Wireless service in roaming areas.
Note: Not all features are available in all areas.
RadioShack No-Contract Wireless customers must use their account balance to pay for roaming minutes. All customers should update their Preferred Roaming List (PRL) by dialing *228 before entering a Roaming coverage area.

why money money money ?money !why ?do we really need money ?
how many people are burdened of money . without money can't we live a life full of happiness you know money is not a natural thing ,
i find out that money is one of the most popular words that used on ted..compared to money .i am more about to talk about the nature or enery
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 1 2012: "how many people are burdened of money ."
none, actually. all the things you attribute to money is actually not related to money at all. money is just a mean to calculate the relative scarcity of goods. if your life is too much determined by money, in fact it is determined by getting scarce resources. if you get rid of money, you don't get rid of the problem, if there is any. there still will be scarce goods, and those goods have to be distributed somehow.
so in short, anyone blaming money for anything can't see the forest for the trees. either think one step ahead, or stop thinking altogether, because shallow thinking does not lead anywhere.
Bruno CarreOct 1 2012: What Krisztian says is IMHO totally right.
People with no money might look for it. Buy a big car, fancy watch, Armani jeans and so forth.
But people with lots of money realize money was "cool" up to a certain point. Check Maslow's pyramid, you need something else once money is out of the happiness equation because you have enough of it.
And yes, I firmly believe you can be happy with little money, provided you do what you love.
Oct 2 2012: So Bruno, if I understand what you're saying, using money to satisfy higher level needs - nonphysical needs - is a misdirection of energy. Would you agree that money, used to satisfy survival needs - Maslow's first two levels - is appropriate?
I would argue that those lower level needs are really human rights, and should be guaranteed to all humans.
Oct 2 2012: The two lower level survival and safety needs of Maslow's hierarchy were never guaranteed to any living human being until mankind himself made them a "moral" guarantee. Prior to that, when you were born, you hoped your "parents" provided for you long enough so you could acquire the skills to provide for your own survival and security. Then you went out into the world and tried to do that. If you succeeded, you lived to pass your genes on to the next generation. If you didn't, oh well.
Man himself established the idea of Human Rights. Prior to money, if the society believed in that concept, all the resources were shared amongst everybody...at least to the level of ensuring everyone as a MINIMUM met their survival and security needs. But even then, the distribition was not totally equal. Some got "more" while others got "less". Yet even THEN, some Humans violated that "ideal" concept, and acted in ways to plunder other Men to take away ALL of their resources.
Money is just a tool. It is used to keep score. Whether or not Man himself wants to abide by any Human Rights ideals will be up to Man, regardless of the tool used to keep score. Krisztian and Bruno got it right.
chen xin
chen xinOct 2 2012: hello Bruno
I dont totally agree with you . you know some people are quiet while some people are much louder .there is something strange
i dont know weather you know or not ..after the ww2 Germany had a rapid development ..one of the reason is that german are hardworking and have the spirit of donate..so it is an except of the pyramid.
Oct 4 2012: just think of the pyramidal scheme but as a flat one where the top moves arround freely on the base depending of what zone of the base is more hard working and wealthy so we all are the pyramid becouse we come from the base and grow up with the help of the others so the base is nature than human kind and than there can be a lot of pyramid tops moving arround but always one will be the higher in value of the effort of the community that is "beneath" so does not matter where you are from becouse we all achieved our goal together. Is a matter of perception of the results human kind have but also the damages that makes to the base which is our Earth.
See also my post here. Read also this becouse with my idea the name of the currency does not have any importance but the value of the community effort that use it to circulate that currency. So the currency can be also just of group of 10 people that work hard then they unite the effort with other 15 that also have another value of their effort so we in some way measure the value of our effort as the others see it and appreciate it becouse they need it and use it. http://www.ted.com/conversations/14070/goods_and_services_exchange_wi.html

Our site just got a long awaited update.
Due to an issue with the servers we needed to take down GitHub API.
We are working hard to fix our setup and switch it on as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Below are the top 5 browsers used last week on jsFiddle (this doesn't count embedded fiddles).
Which versions are mostly used? Do developers think about the future?
I like when people use development version of the browser. This means experimenting with the newest features, which pushes the web forward. From above numbers it looks like "Chrome people" are the ones who aren't afraid to do so - almost ten per cent of them are working on a version which hasn't yet been released.
Install here
Just a launchpad at the moment, but the code is open and you're welcome to collaborate.
Thanks to drublic.de.
Due to a recent growth the server was pushed to the limit. In the last few days more than 10,000 fiddles and 100,000 versions have been created.
During the rush hours you could experience some latency. Even though we're still in alpha stage we want to provide the best possible service. Yesterday we've upgraded the server and we should be faster than ever!
You are a great community of web developers, you deserve great service.
Please let us know if you experienced any problems.
Thanks to anyone who celebrated April Fools Day with us!
There are no stakeholders. There are no Annual Meetings
Beta will even extend the features available to free accounts. There will be PRO subscriptions available for users who want even more sweets.
Today was the Annual General Meeting.
Stakeholders agreed that, once jsFiddle goes to beta, all user accounts will be by paid subscription only. Get one now, while they're still free!
We will post an official document as soon as it will be ready
Picture modded from an original photo by Timothy Volmer
If you would like to have your framework updated - please create an issue https://github.com/jsfiddle/jsfiddle-docs-alpha/issues
For those of you who would like to test Fiddles in clean CSS environment.
POST, GIT READ and GIST READ are extended and allow to set External Resources and Normalize CSS.
Latest version added to the Fiddle object. http://doc.jsfiddle.net/api/fiddles.html
After a few bugs removed we could happily remove the IE7 force tag. IE9 users - please report all bugs to our issues page
Editor (CodeMirror) got updated from v0.92 to v0.94
ctrl+s will now Update the fiddle
Set as base cache issue finally fixed

KIM KARDASHIAN: I Married A Dog
KIM KARDASHIAN is discovering her married life has gone to the dogs because apparently, husband KRIS HUMPRHIES barks just like one. And she hates it. Ourselves, we're thinking Kris has the look of a sleek Great Dane with a curly top, but Kim's not kidding when she says he actually barks the part. So who's doing the biting, then?
Hollywood news reckons it's been just a little over two months since Kim and Kris tied the knot, and they've been seen bickering on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno", albeit with smiles on their faces for the camera's benefit.
"He, like, literally barks like a dog. It's like him and his boys. Like one's in the other room and they, like, all wanna leave, (so) they'll be like, 'Ar! Ar! Ar!'"
Kim complained, to which Kris replied:
"Not like that! It's one bark!"
Kim, of course, wanted the last word in their on-air argument:
"You know what we call you — we nicknamed you the other day when you weren't there — we call you the dog,"
she shot back.
"We're like, 'Where's the dog!'"
Okay, he'll be the good-natured woofer, and Kim will be the catty feline. How's about that?
Then they can fight their way through the marriage like cat and dog and propel the ratings of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" through the roof. Fitting, yes? They'll make Kris Jenner so proud.

I don't know if you are aware much of History at this time period but everyone was, Walt Disney was pretty fair compared to most.There was the labor issues that were in the forties and stuff like that. But by and large, no." That will come as a surprise to anyone who has read mentions of Walt Disney's alleged anti-Semitism, or his cryogenically frozen head, or any of the other rumors that swirl around the icon. So in order to get things straight, here is a factual analysis of all the many charges laid against Walt Disney in real life. Spoiler alert: He is not buried beneath Pirates of the Caribbean.
He was hiring other races and letting them into Disneyland before others were. I have a big post about how Walt make big moves in this way after song of the south came out, and I have posted about many women and just did today that worked under Walt.
a Historical animation expert said that there were no women anywhere in Hollywood at the time; they were relegated to inking and painting. He explained, "That was an industry-wide practice. There were, however, a number of women working at [Disney] in a creative capacity during that time, mostly in story development."
In 1941, Disney defended women to the men working on Dumbo, stating, "If a woman can do the work as well, she is worth as much as a man. The girl artists have the right to expect the same chances for advancement as men, and I honestly believe they may eventually contribute something to this business that men never would or could."
Disney hired his first female animator, Retta Scott, in 1942 for Bambi, and Mary Blair was the art supervisor and color stylist for Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. By 1959, Disney was writing, "Women are the best judges of anything we turn out. Their taste is very important. They are the theatergoers, they are the ones who drag the men in. If the women like it, to heck with the men."
Disney's anti-Semitism is the biggest myth of all; Neal Gabler, author ofWalt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination, said,"It would be unfair to label him an anti-Semite himself, There is no evidence whatsoever in the extensive Disney Archives of any anti-Semitic remarks or actions by Walt." Herman "Kay" Kamen, a Jew, was Disney's merchandising chief, and Kamen once joked that Disney's New York office "had more Jews than the Book of Leviticus."
Disney donated to The Hebrew Orphan Asylum of the City of New York, Yeshiva College, and the Jewish Home for the Aged.
The claims of anti-Semitism were drummed up by Snow White animators Art Babbitt and David Hilberman, who were furious when the animators went on strike in 1941. Disney was convinced the strike was fomented by communists, whom he hated, and he joined the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, which was anti-Semitic but primarily anti-communist.
Douglas Brode, the Jewish author of Multiculturalism and the Mouse: Race and Sex in Disney Entertainment, said:There is zero hard evidence that Disney ever wrote or said anything anti-Semitic in private or public. His films feature a wide array of great Jewish actors in the most diverse roles imaginable, more so than any other studio of Hollywood's golden age, including those run by Jewish movie moguls. Finally, there is no evidence in the work of anti-Semitism via negatively portrayed Jewish characters. Disney, let's recall, was the first filmmaker ever to cast a Jewish actor, Ed Wynn, as Santa Claus, in Babes in Toyland. We ought to give Disney the benefit of the doubt.
One of Walt's former secretaries, Dorothy Wrigley, was recently asked in an interview if she had ever seen any displays of racism or bigotry by her boss. Without hesitation, she said, "No." She said he was always professional. Tough at times, yes, because he had a vision and knew what he wanted.
and now that I have given you a history lesson might I suggest a little something to you, Disney is not a perfect company, probably never will be but I choose to look at the GOOD it does! and OH does it do good! also I am a person that makes a stand against the same things you go on and on about (but I do my research and homework) might I suggest that you find ways to change the issues happening now instead of going after a man who can't defend himself since he's been dead for 48 years. Also another wrong thing to do is judge people so I also would like you to add to your list of wrong things as judging people for things you don't understand so I hope that you will kindly stop judging myself and fellow Disney fans for what we choose to love!

Jesse BROADWATER, Paige PEARCE, Jeff FABRY, Dee WILDE and Joe KAPP were Team Hoyt's top pro podium finishers for the 2011 edition of the NFAA Marked 3D Nationals/Western Classic Trail Shoot- better known as the Redding Shoot. With beautiful weather and moderate temperatures, it was a great three days of shooting in Northern California's rolling foothills.
With targets ranging from 4 to 101 yards away, Redding is both a challenge for top shooters and great fun for the club level competitor.
With Jesse taking silver and Paige taking gold on the podiums for the Men's and Women's Pro categories, other Team Hoyt shooters also had outstanding performances. These include Jeff FABRY (USA) taking the men's Limited Pro category victory, and the legendary Dee Wilde, and Joe KAPP taking two of the top three Senior Pro medals.
Matt SCHMITZ won the Bowhunter Freestyle Division and also set a new course record of 1523.
Hoyt shooters prove once again that regardless of your style, division or size, Hoyt makes the perfect bow for you. Hoyt would like to congratulate all competitors and the Straight Arrow Bowhunters for a great event.

Synthroid contains levothyroxine, an artificial replation for thyroxine, a hormone normally prodyced by the thyroid gland. Thyroxin is responsible for regulation the organism's energy levels and metabolism. When the thyroid gland is unable to produce enough of this hormone without exterior help, the patiens receives a Synthroid prescribtion.
The most common diagnosis that call for Synthroid treatment is hypothyroidism, that very condition where the thyroidine levels are too low. Synthroid is also used for enlarged thyroid gland treatment after hormone imbalances, radiation treatment, thyroid gland tumor surgery. Some people think they can stabilize their hormonal levels as such with the help of this medicine and thus get rid of obesity or simply lose several extra pounds. Please remember that Synthroid is not designed for this purpose and generally should not be used without a doctor prescribtion.
Remember that there are certain kinds of medication that lessen Synthroid's effect if you take them at the same time. They include calcium carbonate preparations, ferrous sulfate iron supplements, medicines containing sucralfate, aluminum, sodium polystyrene sylfonate, and various cholesterol-lowering medications, especially Questran and Colestid. If you have to use any of the drugs on this list, let at least 4 hours pass before their ingestion and taking Synthroid.

DUBAI (Reuters) - The data and voice recorders from a Boeing 747-400 plane operated by U.S. parcel delivery firm UPS that crashed in Dubai this month have been sent to the United States for analysis, the UAE state news agency said on Tuesday.
Two crew members died when the cargo plane, which was en route to Cologne, Germany, crashed in a military compound near Dubai's airport on September 3 after the pilot reported fire and smoke in the cockpit.
The United Arab Emirates civil aviation authority sent the cargo plane's "black boxes" -- a flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder -- to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) last week, state news agency WAM said.
The NTSB's initial findings confirmed there had been a fire warning on the plane followed by smoke in the cockpit around half an hour after takeoff, which led to the crew encountering visibility and communication problems.
Air traffic control in Bahrain had offered the crew to land in Doha, Qatar, but they decided instead to return to Dubai, WAM reported.
The UAE's civil aviation authority was still collecting evidence from the crash site, WAM said.
The Boeing 747 is a backbone of the world's freight industry, transporting about half the cargo carried in dedicated freight planes, according to manufacturer Boeing.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
I attended a conference the other day that was quite different
from an ordinary IT event. I'm not even sure how I got to it – whether I took a wrong turn, or whether a wrong turn was taken for me through some distillation of the experiential space-time penumbra. In any case, I emerged from a hazy hallway into an inauspicious conference room, where a very peculiar and antagonistic meeting had reached the communicative equivalent of ear wax served on a cracker. Several strangely dressed participants sat about a semicircular table. They seemed to be in some form of panel discussion. Their business suits appeared to have been fashioned from burnished aluminum foil, although each was dressed quite differently, and, in fact, each looked quite different – and not just "different" like from a different country, but wholly individual in species, for among them, one could find no unity in the number of lips or eyes or even the position of the nose in regard to any particular axis of symmetry.

There is an emerging northwest style of gardening that is very dependent on Asian and English influences. And why not? We have the shared legacy of water, protected spaces, steep woody slopes and mountains.
Some design principles and techniques of Asian design include enclosed spaces that protect you from the outside world and provide a place for contemplation, so a fence or hedge around your property or patio is perfect. There is a heightened appreciation of natural forms such as rocks, water, trees and hills with a concern for the ground plane. An important concern in Asian design includes paying attention to every step. Look at the leaves, rocks, pebbles and water features. Pay attention to natural and organic forms and use bamboo screens or fences. Use entrances and gates to mark passages. Contrast smooth against rough, asymmetry and groupings of three. Design from the inside out instead of the western notion of outside in.
Last year I wrote an article about making your very own Zen garden. I thought you would like to see it again if you were not ready at that time to create it or missed reading it.
think in terms of simplicity. Plant a Japanese black
pine. It is possible that it could grow fairly tall but
it has a dense, spreading and irregular growth habit.
It grows fast while young but lends itself to pruning
and for this garden you will need to prune. Now add a
Japanese bloodleaf maple, or a scarlet Japanese maple.
The bloodleaf variety is very hardy and can grow up to
20 feet tall. Prune only to keep a view of the garden.
The maple likes very rich soil that is moist but not
wet. You can add gravel to the space that you will need
to rake into patterns like a wave, but if you have carefully
raked it you won't
want to walk on it so you can add a stone terrace to
about one third of the space. A concrete bench would sit
nicely on this surface. Now add five perfect (to you) large
stones in an interesting pattern that you just know will
be exactly right. Plant dark Japanese holly behind the stones
that are toward the back of the site. Among the rocks you
might plant medium green ferns and epimedium. This garden
will need to be maintained by keeping out of the weeds, pruning
the shrubs to keep them smooth and mound like, and
raking the gravel. If you install weed barrier under the
gravel you won't have to deal with weeds, but you will
need a good four or more inches excavated, add the weed barrier
then plenty of gravel. You can cut through the weed
barrier with a razor knife to plant your shrubs.
The essential purpose of your beautiful finished garden is to give you a place of respite in the midst of chaos. An added feature is the gravel that is easy care and waterwise. Enjoy and use it often.
Almost all nurseries carry Japanese maples and flowing cherries. Tom's Bamboo here in Blaine is a great place for bamboo fences and live bamboo. Rocks and gravel are available at many sand and gravel companies locally.
Next week we'll get serious about vegetable gardening. Get ready!

Zoe, played by Taissa Farmiga, leads the march of the student witches towards the entrance of their finishing school, set in New Orleans. Sarah Paulson greets the girls at the door, and they file in to a large, dimly-lit room adorned with a white pentagram on the ceiling.

For some reason I started Emmy night worrying that Hugh Bonneville of PBS Masterpiece's Downton Abbey would win best actor in a drama, or that there'd be a Downton sweep. He gives a perfectly lovely performance, but it's essentially like watching Piers Morgan mellowed by a life of having valets brush his evening jacket.
But Damian Lewis won for Homeland, allowing my head to clear and track what I thought the Emmys got right and got wrong.
Got right: Homeland, Showtime.
Mad Men and Breaking Bad both had tremendous seasons, but neither was as brilliantly focused right out of the gate as this new political thriller. It was fitting, too, that the acting awards went to both Lewis and Claire Danes: They're a sort of Janus head – two faces, terrorist and counter-terrorist, each collapsing under the pressure of a duty to protect (hers) and destroy (his).

Looking Ahead
Producers Cautiously Optimistic About New Farm Law
By Tommy Horton
After more than three years of debate – both inside and outside the halls of Congress – the cotton industry must now begin educating producers and help implement a new farm law.
The bill delivered to President Bush in early June was eventually vetoed but successfully overridden by both the House and Senate after a clerical error forced a re-vote.
Last month the National Cotton Council's staff conducted Farm Bill information meetings across the Belt in an effort to explain provisions of the law. Early reaction from producers who attended the sessions was cautiously optimistic.
Reports indicate that all information meetings were well attended despite farmers being in the middle of planting and early season management.
Gary Adams, National Cotton Council vice president of economics and policy analysis, says there are two reasons why producers are reacting positively to the new law. Some important program eligibility provisions were retained, and the new law doesn't take effect until the 2009 crop.
"If we were coming to farmers now and suggesting to them that they had to make changes for the 2008 crop, I can see how that would throw them for a loop," Adams says.
"For that reason, I think it's good that we had these meetings. Farmers obviously want to hear about the changes on payment eligibility and how they'll affect their own operation."
Obtain Good Advice
Adams has suggested that farmers consult with their attorneys and accountants to learn how provisions of the law will affect them. That may seem like a burdensome chore, but the complexity of the new law requires meticulous reading of the fine print. That's where an attorney or accountant could help, Adams says.
As mentioned, the sheer volume of the new law's regulations can be overwhelming, even for the most astute and informed producer. For that reason, Adams says it's impossible to make a blanket recommendation to farmers on how to implement all of the provisions.
"Some of the changes that we see and have talked about in the 2008 Farm Bill won't even matter to some farmers," he says. "And that's because these provisions won't be relevant to their operations. To others, it will be a huge issue."
Important Program Changes
The most discussed provisions in the new law, according to Adams, relate to payment eligibility and limitations, as well as the income means test (beginning with the 2009 season).
As expected, the three-entity rule was eliminated. For producers who take advantage of marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments, there are no limits on benefits.
The key changes, however, occur for producers who have all of their acreage enrolled in direct payment and counter-cyclical payment programs. The direct payment limit will be $40,000, while the counter-cyclical payment limit is $65,000 per person.
For those producers with all farms enrolled in the optional revenue program (ACRE), there are two important policy rules. The limit on direct payments is reduced from $40,000 by an amount equal to the 20 percent reduction in direct payments. The limit is increased from $65,000 by the amount of the reduction in the direct payment limit.
The other significant provisions of the new law causing some questions relate to income means testing for commodity programs.
If a farmer earns more than $500,000 in adjusted non-farm income during the three years prior to the year preceding the applicable year, he is ineligible for program payments.
Additionally, if a farmer earns an average of more than $750,000 in adjusted farm income during the three years prior to the year preceding the applicable year, he is ineligible for direct payments for the year.
The $750,000 adjusted gross farm income level is less than the $2.5 million level in the 2002 farm law.
Industry Anticipated New Policy
Because the industry anticipated that the three-entity rule might be eliminated and the adjusted gross income level lowered, most producers weren't surprised by those developments, Adams says.
For the record, however, the NCC's policy is against changes that affect or adversely impact producer income.
Adams will be the first to admit that not having a new farm law until June created some uncertainty for producers who had to make planting decisions without knowing about various farm policy guidelines.
"That was certainly a problem," he says. "But I think we would've heard even more of an uproar in the country had it not been for the high commodity prices. Prices were generally high for all commodities, and program spending has been low."

Need Help Understanding The Farm Bill? Lean On The Experts
Louisiana producer Jay Hardwick, the National Cotton Council's current vice chairman, was a part of the industry's leadership that worked with Congress for the past two years in the writing of the new law.
Recently, Hardwick helped coordinate a Farm Bill information meeting in Rayville, La., which attracted a crowd of 70 persons.
Even an experienced farmer like Hardwick says it is overwhelming to absorb so much information in the new law. But he has some advice for farmers across the Belt on how to get through the process.
"My suggestion is to lean on the professionals," he says. "By that, I mean stay plugged into your trade associations – whether it's the National Cotton Council, Farm Bureau, Delta Council or whoever. They can guide you through the process and help you understand it."
Hardwick says he's encouraged that so many provisions in the new law are nearly identical to the 2002 law except for the aforementioned payment eligibility and income means testing.
Considering how severe the changes could have been in the law, the NCC vice chairman can live with those changes.
"I can live with the income means testing being lowered from $2.5 million to $750,000," he says. "If it had gone any lower, it would've been pretty unfair to agriculture."
Hardwick also thought it was significant that Congress supported the Farm Bill with an overwhelming override vote of President Bush's veto. Even though the bill wasn't reported out of a House-Senate committee until this past spring, Hardwick was pleased at how Democrats and Republicans eventually supported the legislation in a bipartisan manner.
"That showed me right there that there were folks in both the Senate and House who didn't want to see agriculture dismantled in this country," he says.
"That was an excellent signal, and I was glad to see it. People had invested so much time in the bill. There was a real sense of ownership about it."
Even with the support for
the bill, Hardwick doesn't think the industry can afford to become
complacent. He anticipates future battles, but remains confident that
the industry can withstand those challenges.

In Rome with the new pope: Emory student has front-row view
By Elaine Justice | Spirited Thinking | March 17, 2013
Cardinals gather on the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica after election of Pope Benedict XVI in 2005.
Emory student Grace Mackowiak may have known when she signed up for study abroad in Italy this semester that she would be living close to the Vatican, but she didn't foresee having a front-row seat to history, with the first papal resignation in hundreds of years and the election this week of Pope Francis I.
"I am lucky to be here through this process," says Mackowiak, a sophomore from St. Louis minoring in Catholic studies. She says the public mood was conflicted when Pope Benedict XVI made his surprise resignation announcement: "Some don't care, some argued in cafes, others were distraught. My grandma called me, saying, 'Grace, you've been in Rome for a week and the pope resigns—what did you do?'"
Mackowiak says she has "the privilege of walking through Piazza San Pietro (Saint Peter's Square) on the way to school and back every day." (It was fun to see whether Pope Benedict had his light on at night, she reports.)

Sweepstopia Software
Sweepstopia is a US based Internet sweepstakes company. This was our second attempt at trying an Internet company after we swore we wouldn't go back after our first Internet software experience (see Promotek below). So, albeit reluctantly, we decided to try them.
Although they have a professional look and demeanor when we first contemplated using Sweepstopia they were lacking in the number and variety of games that we like to see. However, by the time we actually implemeted and started using them they had resolved this issue and were on par if not above most... Continue Here for Complete Review

AXELOS has established an ITIL Software Endorsement Scheme which allows software tool vendors to obtain official AXELOS endorsement of their ITIL-based tool. Endorsement allows tool vendors to hold a valid Trade Mark Licence and use the Process Compliant badge.
The scheme operates through Licensed Software Assessors, independent assessment bodies comprised of qualified industry experts who meet AXELOS qualifying criteria. Software tool vendors apply to the Assessors to have a tool assessed in order to obtain official endorsement.
Software tool vendors are invited to apply to any Licensed Software Assessor in order to obtain their endorsement. Please download the Tool Vendor Process Outline for more information.
Please see the Licensed Assessors page for further information.
Licensed Software Assessors assess software tools based on one of three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold, as well as 100% compliance to the ITIL processes that the tool claims to be compliant with. Please view further information on the Mandatory Assessment Criteria here. The three levels of assessment are as follows:
Gold Level
The product (including processes and user documentation) has at least three "in production" customers that have implemented and are using the product and are happy to reference that they are using the tool to automate the assessed process in accordance with ITIL. Proof of customer implementation of the audited product from the customer (letter-headed paper) endorsing their use is required with at least one piece of user evidence. Proof should state that they have the tool deployed in production and they are using the tool to automate the assessed process in accordance with ITIL.
The product (including processes and user documentation) has at least three "in production" customers. Proof of product order by customer on letter-headed paper is required (values may be blanked out) stating that the tool, including correct version, is deployed in production.
The product, processes and user documentation have passed the assessment.
For the purposes of the ITIL Software Endorsement Scheme, customers are third-party customers. Any number of ITIL processes can be assessed and the same tool can be assessed on different levels.
The ITIL Software Endorsement Scheme awards a logo to every tool which successfully passes the assessment and is licensed by AXELOS. The logo incorporates the popular swirl image, along with the ITIL Trade Mark with wording to confirm that the product has been appropriately licensed by AXELOS.
The benefits to vendors of successfully achieving accreditation include the ability to readily demonstrate to potential customers that the product has been quality reviewed and complies with ITIL Best Practices, and to provide assurance on the usability and quality of the software tool. Plus successful vendors can use the Process Compliant Badge in their advertising and marketing material.
Peter Brooks, (FISM) Independent Consultant, has written a report on the scheme.

BOA writes to Idowu for injury details
Jul 24 2012
The British Olympic Association has written to triple jumper Phillips Idowu asking for details about the injury which has cast doubt on his chances for the Games.
Idowu, 33, failed to travel to a warm weather training camp in Portugal on Monday, prompting the BOA to seek clarification about his hip injury.
BOA spokesman Darryl Seibel told the Press Association: "Our chief medical officer Dr Ian McCurdie wrote to Phillips and his agent yesterday asking that he provide to Dr McCurdie the relevant medical records relating to his injury and the treatment he is currently receiving."
He added: "Those should be provided to our chief medical officer on a confidential basis. The basis for doing this is a clause in our team members' agreement that says athletes are required to provide details of any injury or illness that may impact on their performance during the Games."
A fully-fit Idowu would be one of the top medal hopes among British track and field athletes. Idowu is due to compete on August 7 and his coach Aston Moore said he has chosen to stay in London for treatment from a private physiotherapist.
In a statement on Monday, Moore said: "In training recently Phillips has had an ongoing injury problem and we have not been able to go at things 100%.
"At the weekend Phillips told me he would continue to seek treatment from a private physio in London and would not travel to prepare in Portugal, although he may join us here later. He is an experienced athlete who I have worked with for more than four years and we will assess the situation again in the coming days."
Idowu's agent Jonathan Marks later told BBC Sport: "He's incredibly disappointed and surprised as to why the BOA has chosen to do this (make the request for injury details public).
"I can't understand the benefit to the athlete. We are more than happy to send the BOA the medical records.
"Our office has even had a call from a member of the BOA medical team who has also expressed surprise at the organisation's decision to go public with the request. Phillips is an athlete who's proven that if he gets to the start line then he is one of those athletes who can win a medal."

Nothing is worst than having to wait for something you want especially when what you want is one of the most anticipated games in the world. I'm going to tell you more about some of the most anticipated games out there. All these video games are going to be available on Xbox.
Top 7 Most Anticipated Games
The following are some of the top anticipated games:
#1: BioShock Infinite
BioShock Infinite is a shooter game that's going to be launched on February 26, 2013. It will be released on all the major gaming platforms. Despite its name, it's not going to follow too strictly the other BioShock games. It will have its own unique characteristics.
Booker DeWitt is the main character of the game. He's going to save a young, and I assume beautiful, woman called Elizabeth who is held prisoner. Everything revolves around Elizabeth who has magical powers that can distort and influence the time-space continuum.
The Elizabeth's character is played by the computer. The player and Elizabeth start fighting together and start destroying the bad guys one after another. BioShock Infinite is announced to be an exciting game with plenty of challenges to accomplish.
#2: Aliens: Colonial Marines
This game took inspiration from the Alien movies which were quite popular when they were launched. The target audience of this game is not your typical shooter gamer. The game is more for people who don't mind fighting hideous creatures who are there to eat you alive.
There are also a number of devices that make the game more interesting. You will be able to use welding torches to seal doors and even motion trackers to determine if an invisible alien is coming towards you.
The game is going to be launched on February 12, 2013. So, stay tuned!
The Console Doctor has Xbox 360 Power Supply Bricks and Playstation 3 Power Supplies on sale all week long.
#3: Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider is going to be officially launched on 5 March 2013. It's highly anticipated because of its timeless plot. Lara Croft begins as a girly girl who is afraid of her own shadow. After going through many challenges she becomes an unbeatable warrior and survivor.
#4: South Park – The Game
South Park: The Stick of Truth is a video game based on the wonderful TV series called South Park. Millions of people from all around the world like to watch South Park for its dirty and sometimes wonderfully accurate jokes. The expected launch date is most likely going to be March 5, 2013.
The game is expected to be developed and designed by renowned names of the industry. People will definitely enjoy the game and it's probably going to be more watchable than the TV series. That's because of its expected high quality graphics.
#5: DMC – Devil May Cry
The main character of the video game DMC: Devil May Cry is Dante who has magical powers and a thirst for killing demons. Dante is not your casual human. He also can use its angel and demon powers. His outer appearance also changes when Dante changes his state. The game is going to be released in January 2013 for Xbox and PlayStation 3.
#6: Prey 2
This is the sequel of the Prey video game. It's going to be released in the fourth quarter of 2013. The main character is in a plane which crashed in an alien world. He is abducted by aliens and after a couple of years he wakes up. He doesn't remember what happened in the meantime. Prey 2 is expected to impress its audience through its high quality graphics and plot.
#7: Metro – Last Light
This shooter takes place in a world quite different from ours. It's an post-apocalyptic world that has dangers everywhere you look. The game is going to be released in the first quarter of 2013.
The development team has already released a trailer that could easily match in quality any movie trailer out there. It presents the citizens of a Russian town who seek refuge in a metro area in order to avoid being blasted by rockets that are coming from the skies. They know little about what awaits them inside the metro. They are about to find out.
Mark the above release dates in your calendar and get your hands on these games as soon as they are released. Also: have fun playing them!

Is Borders bankruptcy-bound?
The bookseller faces a potential liquidity crisis, which could lead to a Chapter 11 filing.
By Jeanine Poggi, TheStreet
Is Borders (BGP) eyeing a bankruptcy filing? If the bookseller's latest moves are any indication, the company could be headed precisely in that direction, according to James V. McTevia, a turnaround expert and managing member of McTevia & Associates.
On Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported that one of Borders' major suppliers, Rowman & Littlefield Publishing, is temporarily halting the shipment of books to the retailer. The publisher's CEO told the Journal that his company will not ship to Borders until it receives more information on the bookstore's payment plans.
Borders said at the end of December that it may have to delay payments to some of its vendors as it attempts to negotiate new loan terms.
"Being unable to pay your bills suggests a serious cash crisis and is generally a precursor to bankruptcy," McTevia says. "Borders is clearly exploring that option."
Borders has also warned that delaying payments may result in a violation of the terms of its existing credit agreements in the early part of the year and that it could experience a liquidity shortfall.
On Monday, Borders also announced the resignation of two executives, Thomas D. Carney, the executive vice president, general counsel and secretary; and D. Scott Laverty, a senior vice president and the chief information officer. Reasons for their departures were not provided.
"We think it is likely that Borders will violate the terms of some of its credit agreements early in 2011, raising questions about its long-term viability," wrote Michael Souers, an analyst at Standard & Poor's. "While efforts to restructure its debt are taking place, we see onerous terms even if successful."
One of the few ways Borders can save itself is to merge with rival Barnes & Noble (BKS), McTevia says.
Barnes & Noble has been slightly more successful than its peer in attempting to compete in the rapidly changing book industry. On Monday, the No. 1 bookseller said that same-store sales for the nine-week holiday period jumped 9.7% as its Nook e-reader became its best-selling item of all time. This topped its prior forecast for a gain of between 5% and 7%.
Barnes & Noble put itself up for sale in August, and in December, hedge fund manager William Ackman, who owns a 37% stake in Borders, said he was prepared to back a cash merger deal. Ackman proposed that Borders purchase Barnes & Noble for $16 a share.
"People who say the two shouldn't merge aren't looking at the whole picture," McTevia says. "If a merger doesn't take place, it leaves two giant companies out there trying to compete in an industry that is going through major changes."

Whether navigating the meat case at your local grocery store or preparing dinner at home, we all want safe meat. Registered dietitian Carolyn O'Neil gets answers to her questions about meat related to labeling claims like "natural," "antibiotic free," or "hormone free," as well as insights on organic meat and how to keep all meat safe when preparing at home.
When used correctly, antibiotics can be an important tool to keep animals healthy and create a safe food supply.
Recently, Best Food Facts recieved a question asking "Is it better for you to eat a rare/medium-rare or well-done hamburger? Are you losing nutrition content when the burger is well-done?" We reached out to Dr. John Comerford, who is an associate professor at Penn State University, to help us answer these questions.
A new Consumer Reports study says that more than 90 percent of the packages of ground turkey they purchased nationwide contained one or more of the five bacteria for which they were testing. Consumer Reports adds that almost all of the organisms in the meat samples proved resistant to one or more of the antibiotics used to fight them.
Recently, The Dr. Oz Show aired an episode that addressed the "Secrets of the Fast Food Industry." We had some questions about the episode, so we reached out to Dr. Sean O'Keefe, a food science professor at Virginia Tech. Dr. O'Keefe originally helped us answer questions on Why Doesn't Fast Food Spoil? Below, Dr. O'Keefe has much to say about the episode and its inaccuracies.
The Best Food Facts post about hormones is one of the most visited pages on our site. It seems many readers want more information on the topic. Our experts have answered Are hormones in my milk and meat making my kids bigger? and What could be causing early puberty in girls?
Best Food Facts reader Nora had a couple questions about antibiotics and probiotics in food animals. We contacted Dr. Paul Ebner and Dr. Stuart Price to answer her questions.
With all the buzz over questions about whether antibiotics fed to animals raised for food cause human antibiotic resistance, it seems apparent that this issue is at the forefront of consumer concerns. As well, we received the questions, "Why are antibiotics fed to livestock inside CAFOs or feedlots? Is this dangerous to humans?" from http://www.fooddialogues.com/. To address the topic, and as a follow up to our previous posts on the subject, we asked experts Dr. Peter Davies and Dr. H. Scott Hurd to respond.
Many of you have seen it: the so-called "pink slime" video where food celebrity Jamie Oliver seeks to demonstrate to children how chicken nuggets are made.
We've read it in magazines, seen it on internet news sites, and maybe even watched a segment discussing it on afternoon television. GMOs, genetically modified organisms, biotechnology, or even 'frankenfood,' as some like to call it, have certainly raised a lot of questions.
You've shared your concerns and asked questions about GMOs with Best Food Facts, and we've gathered experts and resources to answer them. This post continues our series focused on GMOs for the month of August 2011. To read all related posts in the series, click here. This week, we're focused on providing expert answers to some frequently asked questions about GMOs.
Dr. Scott Hurd, Iowa State, discusses the E. coli outbreak in Europe and how it affects Americans
Expert feedback regarding inquiry from mom wondering about how hormones in food may be affecting her children.
Three experts, Dr. Patricia Hester, Dr. Ed Pajor and Dr. Emily Patterson-Kane, answer the question, "Is the well-being of farm animals on larger operations disregarded in the pursuit of higher profits?"
Dr. John Comerford, associate professor and extension beef specialist in the Department of Dairy and Animal Science at Penn State University, explains nutritional differences between beef from grain-fed and grass-fed cattle.

Åndalsnes is a small Norwegian city that serves as a gateway to the region's magnificent fjords — but it's in need of a makeover. Jagnefält Milton Architecture has proposed a unique way to enliven the city: a hotel that rolls on the many train tracks that connect the town to the outside world. Spotted on designboom, the award-winning concept is a kinetic structure that can take visitors into the heart of the fjords in an environmentally-sensitive fashion. The architects even envision a master plan for an entire town that can move on tracks, spread out during the summer, and huddle close in the winter.
