But you should at least test this service–called Financial Engines (www.financialengines.com)–against any savings target you’re using now.

Bot represents the first wave of a revolution called “precision farming,” which uses fewer pesticides and less fertilizer, thereby cutting waste and increasing yields. Having embraced heavy machinery and then chemicals, farmers are now adding computers and satellites to their equipment. “People think of farming as cows and pigs, but we are really getting technological,” says soil scientist Pierre Robert of the University of Minnesota. Instead of treating an 80- to 600-acre farm as a homogeneous patch of soil, precision farming divides the land into dozens of parcels and micromanages each as a farm unto itself....
The answer was obvious when I stood to follow my friends out of the restaurant. I wasn’t craving a cigarette, but I didn’t want to be left alone at the table either. It was at this moment, just before I turned to leave, when I realized that my addiction to smoking was far too absurd to carry on. This is not to say that other equally pathetic moments hadn’t made me doubt the logic of that addiction, but this one, in particular, had produced a question that really grated on my mind: in order to quit smoking cigarettes, would I also have to quit the social situations that surround those cigarettes?...
After starting his day with a birdie and par performance on the back nine, Ian Poulter teed off on No. 3 looking to ride that momentum. Unfortunately for him, that wasn’t exactly the case. MORE: 2019 U.S. Open Leaderboard His tee shot looked well enough, traveling 264 yards and landing on the right fairway. His next shot landed on the right intermediate just over 31 feet from the hole.

However, severe breaks to the skull can lead to bleeding, brain damage and seizures....
Hurts went from a possible NFL prospect as a gadget player to a legitimate quarterback draft pick in the second round by the Eagles. All it took was one year lighting up the Big 12 in Lincoln Riley’s offense, but it was more than that. Hurts displayed improved mechanics at OU that helped him more accurately and consistently push the ball down the field. Coupled with a rushing ability that fits in the modern NFL, Hurts’ passing improvements led him to Philadelphia despite the presence of Carson Wentz....
In the first three innings of that start, Shields had given up three runs on two homers. He had an ERA north of 6.00 going into the game, a continuation of what he had done since joining the White Sox. But during the third inning, with one out and Eduardo Núñez at the plate, Shields dropped his arm slot and punched out the Red Sox shortstop on a slider....

It comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shortened its minimum recommended COVID isolation period from 10 days to five, provided people are asymptomatic or have not had a fever for 24 hours. The research, by scientists at the University of Exeter in the U.K., found that 13 percent of COVID patients in a 176-person cohort retained “clinically relevant” levels of potentially active viruses for even longer than 10 days....
Fans of the Saints and Brees received some pretty brutal news after Week 10, per ESPN’s Ed Werder: Brees has fractured ribs on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung to go along with it, sidelining the passer for the foreseeable future. While neither Werder nor the Saints issued an immediate timeline for Brees’ return, the veteran QB definitely won’t take the field for this Sunday’s matchup vs....
The reasons, according to ESPN, were fractured bones in Stafford’s back, an injury that reportedly dates back to last year.

Its vague, flu-like symptoms may initially appear to be signs of a mild, self-limited viral infection for several days. The prolonged incubation period means that if you have had exposure to malaria through a mosquito bite, you would not experience symptoms for several weeks or months, often after exposure to a tropical climate and its mosquitos is forgotten. Several clinical signs are characteristic of malaria, and when these signs occur, reliable diagnostic tests can confirm whether you have an infection caused by the parasite....
“I won more Premierships alone than the other 19 managers together,” the Portuguese manager said after the loss. “Three for me and two for them.” It’s interesting to note that he only mentioned the statistic only after the other manager to have achieved such a feat, Arsene Wenger, left Arsenal. So just how many trophies has Mourinho won in total, and is he right to justify his trophy cabinet?...
