The defending Stanley Cup Champions proved once again that they are the cream of the Atlantic Division.
For the Rangers, they were more like warm milk.
With a host of new characters, the Rangers began tonight with a fresh start. A more offensively minded coach with a group of faster, better conditioned players. Yet, it seemed like much of the same.
Remnants of the 2008 – 09 season crept up as the Rangers couldn't muster much offense, particularly late in the game when it counted.
The game even started on a sour note.
An early defensive gaff by Michal Rozsival seemed like an omen for the Rangers question marks. Porous defense compounded by quick competition. An inability to be consistent. And an overall lack of leadership on the blueline.
Follow that with a holding penalty by Captain Chris Drury and the Rangers would find themselves down 1 – 0 not even halfway through the first period.
However, the Rangers gained their composure and kept it competitive as Drury answered back to tie the game at 1 – 1 late in the first period.
But some of last season's demons continued to creep up as the Rangers were again unable to capitalize on the man advantage, ultimately going 0 – 4 on the game.
At key points, especially late in the third period, the Rangers just could not get shots through on their opportunities.
Sound familiar?
What was unfamiliar was the penalty killing. The standout squad from a season ago wasn't faced with much work, but allowed an Evgeny Malkin power play in the second period that was caused by some missed positioning in their own end.
Yet, one game is not enough to send the masses marching.
There were some bright spots for the Blueshirts.
First, defender Matt Gilroy had a stellar game and even when caught up ice, showed the ability to back check and break up plays.
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist wasn't at his "A" game, but had a stellar outing and didn't have much opportunity on any of the goals.
Holdout Brandon Dubinsky looked strong and had some flashes of vintage Scott Gomez through the neutral zone. His strong play down the boards, similar to the final preseason game at MSG, led to an important goal by his Slovakian linemate.
The biggest free agent splash of the summer in Marian Gaborik, made waves. He put home Dubinsky's bouncing puck in the slot to pull the Rangers to within one goal midway through the third period.
Yet that was as far as it would go.
The Rangers couldn't gain any momentum and Pittsburgh continued to pressure in their own zone, never allowing any setup time for the Rangers offense.
So now we look to tomorrow night as the Blueshirts return home for the home opener against the equally re-tooled Ottawa Senators.
Blueshirt Bulletin will be there.
Catch us in front of the Garden on 7th Avenue prior to warm-ups and tell us why you like the 2009 – 10 team. The clips will be posted on the brand new BlueshirtBulletin.com.

The school district's transportation department deserves a word of acknowledgement for their hard work.
They are responsibly for all the plowed and salted roads at our schools. This is sometimes done in the early morning hours so the way is clear for students and all of the buses. We appreciate all their hard work.

The Mets have 5 days to pick up Dickey's $5.5M option
Last night, the Giants won their second World Series in three seasons.
Starting today, the Mets have the standard five days to decide whether to pick up R.A. Dickey's $5.5 million option.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Based on an educated guess, I now put the chances of Dickey being signed or traded at 50 percent. Frankly, I was far more confidence a deal could get done weeks ago. For him, every day that passes, I convince myself more and more that he could be traded. There is no good argument for signing Dickey to a four- or five-year deal. At the same time, teams will give up good, young talent in trade to get him for one season making reasonable money. It's going to be a more complicated and more pressing decision than Wright, who, again, can be delayed if needed…
Here are poll results from last week on MetsBlog that asked how Mets fans would handle Dickey this winter:

"Jeffers Conditioning Shampoo"
I have been using Jeffers shampoos for several years now, but have been using the Vanilla Walnut Conditioning Shampoo the longest. In fact, I won't use any other brand. Because my Golden Retriever swims in the lake a lot during the summer, she gets a lot of baths. People are always telling me how beautiful her coat is. I highly recommend this shampoo for the quality and the cost. It does everything it promises, and won't dry your dog's skin out. Buy the gallon size, you won't be sorry.

How old is the Grand Canyon? Writing in the journal Science, a group of scientists describes using features found in caves in the canyon's walls to try to put a date on the natural wonder. The researchers studied structures known as mammillaries or "cave clouds" — carbonate deposits that form at or near the water table level, and dated the features using uranium-lead isotope dating techniques.
The new research suggests that the formation of the Grand Canyon, when the first cuts began to form in the rock, began at least 17 million years ago, making the canyon significantly older than previously thought. The canyon channel is thought to have been completely cut through by 5 or 6 million years ago.
The new study is controversial, with several geologists speaking out vocally about the study's methods and its findings. In this segment, Ira talks with one of the scientists behind the new dating study about the team's work and findings.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
The ad ran in the classifieds under "lots and acreage" in a late August issue of the Sun Advocate
The Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration is selling approximately 40 acres of SITLA property near Castle Dale and land on Summerhouse Ridge in eastern Carbon County, stated the ad.
The sale of SITLA land frequently generates little interest within the general public. The money goes directly to one of 12 different beneficiaries or into a fund from which SITLA earn money. The beneficiaries are state government agencies, ranging from public school districts to reservoir operations.
SITLA offers land regularly. Last May, SITLA sold section 32 for a minimum bid of $278,400 to Hunt Oil.
SITLA makes money for beneficiaries from more than the sale of land. In fiscal year 2001, the agency posted revenues of $54.8 million from activities on the lands administered by SITLA. Almost 80 percent of the income came from mineral extraction, including coal, gas and oil.
SITLA land with no apparent potential for generating funds is often sold one section at a time. That is the story of the Summerhouse Ridge property, which will start a bidding process Oct. 1. The parcel however, is not just 40 acres, but a section of land in rugged country: 640 acres of steep walls, canyons and mesas on the edge of the Desolation Canyon wilderness study area. That plot of land is called Section 16, T14S, R16E.
In Utah, there are more than 2,300 surveyed townships. Each township includes 36 square miles, each considered a section. While Utah was still a territory, the federal government granted western states two sections in each township - generally sections 16 and 36 - for the support of common schools. But when it came to Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, the United States government granted four sections of land in each township - sections 2,16, 32, 36.
The administration of the land has been run by various boards and commissions since the state was formed in 1896. At that time there were 7,475,297 acres granted to Utah.
After years of various administrations to control the lands, the legislature created SITLA to administer the lands in 1994.
With sales and land swaps over the years, what remains today is a total of a little under 3.5 million acres. SITLA also controls the mineral rights to another one million acres that they do not own the surface rights to.
SITLA land is now the only "new" supply of private land available in the state. The Federal Government seldom sells land, and with the ability for people to homestead in the 1970s, there is little opportunity to obtain present federal property.
SITLA has also consolidated a great deal of its land over the years. Through land swaps and trades, there are places where SITLA has huge amounts of property, in fact near whole townships. The Drunkards Wash area of western Carbon County is a good example of a place where the agency traded sections of its land in other places to the federal government to obtain that ground in one huge block. It has been a very worthwhile trade for SITLA and its beneficiaries, because that area is one of the biggest coal bed methane producing fields in the country, thus royalties from the production fills the state agency's coffers.
But Section 16, that covers Summerhouse Ridge, parts of Flat Canyon and Summerhouse Canyon is different. It is an undeveloped piece of property that is hard to get to and in most ways relatively useless in terms of income. Thus it is for sale. And looking at a map it makes sense that Hunt Oil would want to buy it because it would attach nicely to land they already have in the area.
However, for some this section of land has been the entrance to a natural playground for years. Hikers, campers and hunters have used the area for recreation for a long time. There are those that oppose the sale.
But the sale of this section of land alone is not what some of these opponents are worried about. The United States Bureau of Land Management is now also under negotiations with Hunt Oil to do a land swap nearby. The two land deals, when put together, opponents say, could cause a potential blockage of public access to thousands of acres of federal public land south of the two pieces in question.
"I have been going there for years, and I can't see another way to get into the property south of the Hunt Oil holdings by land," said Tim Pilling, a long time user of the area. "If those two actions happen, access from the north will be closed off. Access to the west and south is also blocked by private land. The only way in would be from the Green River in Desolation Canyon or by air."
Pilling, who has been an activist to protect access to the land, has been asking a lot of people questions about the situation. He has also spoken to Carbon County officials many times about protecting the access. Recently Pilling hiked the entire route that would be closed up and took geographic positioning points to show that route. He then relayed them to the county's planning and zoning department for study.
"He's right, " says Dave Levanger, director of planning and zoning for the county, as he points to a map created with Pilling's coordinates noted on it. "According to how we have charted the GPS points he did, the swap would close up that particular portal to the BLM land to the south, but I am not entirely convinced that is the only way into those public lands."
Levanger used the map to illustrate what he thinks might just be another land route in, that flows around the eastern end of the present Hunt Oil property. While that route looks rough on the map, it may be passable on horseback or on foot.
"Trails aren't viable here because it is a wilderness area, so no new trails can't be built, but there is probably a way through there," states Levanger.
Pilling said that the area Levanger refers to is too rough to go through, with steep cliffs and canyons in the way.
While Pilling and others are concerned about the proposed land swap between the BLM and Hunt Oil, the trade seems a good idea to the county.
"What is going to happen through this is that the pieces of the Nutter Ranch to the North, now owned by Hunt Oil will become public areas," states Levanger. "More importantly the negotiations for the land will open up a section of road that has been blocked to public traffic for some time in Cold Springs Draw."
Some of the controversy over the purchases has also been about other roads that exist in the area. The county was able to negotiate for one section of road through a piece of Hunt Oil land to the north that was previously owned by SITLA, but another road that runs through that same section of land in the southwest section of the property remains closed to the public. Some have argued that the county should have a prescriptive right of way through that section because it once was public land.
"True it was public in the sense SITLA owned it," commented Levanger. "But when it comes to a lot of things state and particularly SITLA land is treated more like private land."
While roads on Federal lands are public, on state lands the Utah State Legislature has left a loophole for state and private land to get out of having to ensure passage on a long existing road by making it so that if an agency or owner closes a road once within 10 years (for a day) it cannot be construed as a public right of way or road (Utah State Code 72-5-104).
Another factor some are concerned about are archaeological sites on SITLA land that is sold to private owners. But SITLA said it has a specific protocol for bringing land parcels to the sales block, which include such things as evaluating accessibility, assessing on-going revenue potential and performing archaeological surveys and providing mitigation for the site if needed. The agency has its own set of archaeologists who work with private and other agencies to review and protect cultural resources on their lands.
"I have seen some archaeological sites on lands they sold before they were auctioned and around the one they presently have for sale. I have requested information on some of those sites to see if their archaeologists noted their existence," stated Pilling. "I really think that some of the sites have been missed, that they got passed by during the inventories."
But the existence of artifacts and structures on trust land does not preclude it from being sold, because it is administered for the good of the trust. In fact when section 32 in the same area was sold last Spring, Hunt Oil reportedly spent $27,000 bringing in archaeological consultants to help them be sure any sites were identified and protected on their new acquisition.
"I just worry that this will lock up land that people should know about," explains Pilling. "The Desolation Canyon wilderness study area is one of the largest proposed wilderness areas in the state with approximately 290,000 acres. If you have not seen or been in or around the canyon it is a giant, deep gorge similar to the Grand Canyon with several large side canyons going up to the Tavaputs Plateau on the west. There are immense areas of land west of the river with unparalleled wilderness qualities that have not been seen by many or utilized due to the shear size and raggedness of the terrain. I have seen this part of the canyon and would like to ensure that the access is protected for people to explore and enjoy."
The auction for the sale of Section 16 will take place on Oct. 1 in Salt Lake.
The land swap between the BLM and Hunt Oil is still pending.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
While the fight for to keep Carbon College open dominated the headlines in the Sun Advocate in 1954, another fight was going on in the early '50s that many today don't remember. It was the fight against polio.
Polio was a huge problem in the middle of the 20th century. Its complexity and debilitating effects were legend as people wondered who would get it next.
Children were largely the biggest target of the disease. With the fact that President Franklin Roosevelt had been afflicted with the disease since young adulthood, up through the '30s and '40s its prominence in the mind of Americans started to rise. But in the 1950s cases seemed to become more common. The disease, after having run its course, could leave children with everything from a slight limp to being confined to an iron lung for the rest of their lives. Many died from the disease. One of the common questions each year was "Who in the neighborhood is going to get it this year."
Researches worked long and furiously toward finding a way not only to stop the disease but get rid of it entirely. Campaigns were set nationally on how to combat the disease. It was thought that children that were not getting enough sleep were vulnerable to it. Consequently the naps for kindergartners on the floors of their classrooms was common. Cleanliness was also one of the factors, along with a half dozen other things that were suspected of spreading and encouraging the disease.
The mention of polio in the Sun Advocate became more pronounced in the late '40s and into the '50s. It seemed almost every issue had something about polio, either some kind of benefit going on or a story about a local person that was inflicted with the disease. But then things started to change as a new vaccine lifted its veil above the horizon.
In the March 4, 1954 issue of the Sun Advocate, a story reported that Carbon and Emery counties could well be chosen as a test area for the new vaccine. The tests which were to utilize the Salk Polio Vaccine and was being conducted by the Utah State Health Department in cooperation with the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, were proposed to be done on half the first, second and third graders in the area. Half of those would get the vaccine, while the other half would get a substance that looked the same, but would not have the properties of the vaccine. The other half that got no vaccine would be the control group. All this not only needed to be cleared with local health officials but by each child involved in the inoculations parents. In the March 11 edition of the paper it was stated that the had been given the go ahead to be part of the test. The plan was for children to be given three doses over a five week period.
On April 26 the first shot was given a little after 9 a.m. To Margie Ann Atwood.
"...little Margie Ann Atwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Atwood, Wellington, a first grader at the Wellington school, bravely walked into a sunlit room, had her arm daubbed with disinfectant, then walked over to another desk where Dr. R. Kent Wilson was seated and without any consoling assurances from anyone other than the doctor himself, offered her arm for the first injection in the nationwide polio vaccine test trials program," reported the paper.
All over Carbon County and the nation that day many children faced the same thing. By June the final series of shots were given to the same children. Altogether, 1,442 children in Carbon and Emery counties had been given injections. The health department reported that not one child had received any ill effects from the trials at the time. The effects of the test were to be determined over a couple of years time.
In other news the predecessor of I-70 was dedicated in October as the Salina Canyon Road opened. There had been a road through the canyon before, but the connection with the new Highway 10 through the area would add to the ability of Carbon people to head south toward Richfield, St. George and southern California.
"The new highway culminates over 40 years of effort to get a hard-surface route from Emery to Salina to serve traffic (in) this part of the country and southern Utah," stated the paper in the Oct. 21 issue.
Around election time in early November, when it was learned that Carbon College would survive, the LDS Third Ward chapel was destroyed by fire. Flames reportedly flew 50 feet in the air during the height of the blaze. During the fire five businesses in town were burglarized, with similar forced entry techniques between them, It was found that forced entry into the church building had also taken place and at the time arson was strongly suggested in the $200,000 blaze. The church was only a few years old at the time.
Finally, the new Price Canyon power plant began producing power in November. The plant that had been under planning and construction for five years was up and running, and to this day provides electric power for its present owner, Rocky Mountain Power.

January Term at Luther College alters the pace of the academic year. It's a time to focus, explore, and try new things.
On campus, it's not as busy as fall and spring, which allows time to think, reflect, and make connections. Off campus, it's a chance to gain experience, test new skills, or go somewhere you've never dreamed of and immerse yourself in a unique culture.
All Luther students take at least two January term courses: First-Year Seminars and January Term 2. Most Luther students participate in J-term all four years.
There is no separate billing for January term on campus. Tuition and on-campus room and board are included in Luther's annual comprehensive fee. This feature of our J-term is quite different from many schools with January or May terms, and it's one reason we are able to offer such a variety of courses.

OGDENSBURG - The case of a former union treasurer accused of embezzlement and forgery charges was moved Tuesday from Ogdensburg City Court to a St. Lawrence County grand jury.
Phillip J. Jessmer, 42, Waddington, was charged last month with one count of third-degree grand larceny and eight counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument.
State police said Mr. Jessmer forged the checks totaling $7,616.190 between April 2010 and October 2011 while he was treasurer for Civil Service Employees Association Local 185, which represents civilian employees at Ogdensburg Correctional Facility. He has since been fired.
Mr. Jessmer is represented by the St. Lawrence County Public Defenders Office.

The chances are, you have a Facebook profile yourself. But have you thought about what it's doing to real life? Robert Lane Greene reports, starting with a visit to Facebook's offices
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, May/June 2012
Wooooh! yeah! Hoots, hollers and dance music played on a full-volume boombox, assail the conference room where I am quizzing a data scientist at Facebook. It takes 20 seconds for the noise to die down enough for us to continue talking.
This is what Facebook's offices are like, embracing at least the idea of "creative destruction", violence to the establishment. Facebook will soon float its shares on the stock market, making several billionaires and many millionaires out of its staff and backers. But the sprawling new Menlo Park office complex is designed—perhaps a bit too designed—to look as if the kids just took over in a revolution. Walls are extensively, if rather meticulously, graffiti'd; the graffiti artist, who was paid in shares, will be among the new millionaires. Chalkboards line many of the remaining surfaces, so Facebook's wandering young employees can doodle almost anywhere. There are blocks of conference rooms with whimsical names: one here based on Star Wars characters mixed with drinks (Darth Jager, The Empire Strikes Bacardi), one over there echoing Ben & Jerry's ice-cream (Americone Dream, Half Baked). Signs abound reading "Move Fast and Break Things".
But these kids are not really breaking things. They are relentlessly building things, one after the other after the other, and adding them to the vastly ambitious mega-thing called Facebook. With its initial public offering (IPO) approaching, the company is in a "quiet period" during which it must avoid making new public predictions, but it is expected that Facebook's 850m users will grow to a clean billion by July.
So for all the capricious decor and talk of breaking things, Facebook is very well aware that the eyes of the world are on it as an incumbent giant, not an insurgent. Besides "Move Fast and Break Things" there are signs telling employees to "Stay Focused and Keep Shipping". Visitors are greeted warmly, but also presented with the standard Silicon Valley non-disclosure agreement before they can proceed past security. A billion people connected as never before in history. But Facebook also engenders anxiety on levels from the personal to the political, worries about a world in which private lives are always on display. What is 24-hour social networking doing to our self-expression, our self-image, our sense of decorum? Have we finally landed in the "global village" coined by Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s? What if you don't like it there? Is there anywhere else to live?

If a product bears an official 'certified organic' stamp, you can be confident that the majority of its ingredients (at least 95%) have been grown and processed according to strict, government-controlled, organic agricultural standards, and then verified by a third-party certifying body.
Organic agricultural standards do not allow for any use of synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms (GMO's), although issues have been raised regarding the latter. They also set strict criteria in regards to the treatment of animals and the environment.
In addition to the benefits they reap for our personal health, organic farming methods also has tremendous advantages for the environment. Through using natural fertilizers, they greatly reduce the amount of toxic chemicals, such as synthetic pesticides and herbicides, released into the environment, and the volume of those chemicals that appear in the water supply. The less aggressive, intensive farming practices of organic agriculture also help safeguard the quality of natural resources.

Duck football player gives game tickets to boy with leukemia
EUGENE, Ore. - Six-year-old Landen Stiner is one devout Duck.
"He was just born a Duck fan," said his mom, Mikco Stiner.
One look around his family's home and it's easy to see it's all about the green and yellow and Duck football.
"We had season tickets last year," she said, "and we had to give them up this year because we weren't able to go to all the games with him because we don't know how he's gonna be feeling."
The Ducks took a backseat for Landen's family after he was diagnosed with leukemia.
"He was diagnosed in April, shortly after his grandpa passed away from cancer," she said. "We took him into urgent care and he was diagnosed and they sent us that day to Doernbecher's."
Landen spent the next few months at the hospital in Portland. "It was devastating. it seems like it's something that happens to other people or in the movies, like it's not real."
Now he travels every week to Portland from his home in Eugene to receive chemotherapy.
But Landen has never lost sight of his Ducks during his illness.
His story touched a lot of people in the community, including Oregon wide receiver Josh Huff.
"The word just got out about Landen," said his mom.
Huff has never met Landen, but on Wednesday he gave him a huge gift.
"We got a message saying Josh Huff wants to donate his tickets to Landen and his daddy so they can go to his first Duck game together," she said.
It's something Landen and his family will never forget.
"I would just tell him thank you and what a huge blessing it is and how much it means to our family," Stiner said.
Landen is still still receiving chemotherapy treatments every week in Portland, but his mom said he will be able to go back to school in January.

Suggested Price: $89.00
Answer: When using a USB 3.0 port, only the main connector is needed. The small cabled secondary port is not needed. When using a USB 2.0 port, both connectors might be needed as some computers output less power than others through the USB ports. On some PCs, one USB cable is enough, but to be safe and to avoid write errors, connecting both USB cables is highly recommended. If using only one USB connector, the main USB connector must be used, not the secondary connector (short cable) that is attached to the main connector.
Answer: There is a lever on the bottom of the drive. Moving the lever back will cause the cover to open even when there is no power applied to the drive.
Answer: To watch Blu-ray titles, you need to read the Blu-ray Disc at 1x. To watch Blu-ray 3D titles, you need to read the disc at 2x. Connection by USB 2.0 can allow reading of Blu-ray Discs up to 6x, so USB 2.0 is more than enough in most operating environments. Of course with USB 3.0, its even more than enough. Note that in a Mac OS environment, Blu-ray playback requires additional software (not included).
Answer: BDXL discs can only be read on BDXL drives.
Answer: The BDR-XD05W will work with newer software in Mac OS X 10.8/10.7/10.6 and Windows 8, 7, Vista, or XP SP3 environments. However, as with all current Blu-ray drives, it will not work with playback software that does not support Bus Encryption. Bus Encryption was implemented into playback software in 2011.
Answer: The drive can operate in a Mac OS X environment (Mac OS X 10.8/10.7/10.6). In a Mac OS environment, use Finder to read and write to Blu-ray, DVD and CD media. Use DVD Player to play back DVD movies. Blu-ray playback requires additional software (not included).
Answer: No, the drive should only be used in a horizontal (lying down) orientation.
Answer: PureRead and Auto Quiet Mode can be configured as well as enabled and disabled with the Pioneer BDR-XD05W Drive Utility. This utility is available for download on this website.
Answer: Ensure that the drive is connected and recognized by the computer before starting the utility. Ensure that the correct utility (BDR-XD05W) is used. Connect the drive to the computer and restart the BDR-XD05W utility.
Answer: If the USB hub is powered (AC adapter), the BDR-XD05W may work, however the drive's read and write speed may be reduced. The BDR-XD05W will not work if the USB hub is not powered.
Answer: From January 1, 2012, all playback software is required to disable analog outputs from the computer for high-definition copy protected content. For such content, an HDCP display (monitor/TV) is required and it must be connected to the computer using a digital DVI (DVI-D), HDMI, or DisplayPort cable. The best way to know if a display supports HDCP is if it has HDMI inputs. The next best way is to look at the display's user manual. When playing non-copy-protected high definition video (such as home videos), or copy protected DVDs, the computer's analog outputs are enabled and non-HDCP display systems will work. Note: This limitation is not applicable to Macbook/iMacs/Notebook computers with built-in displays, but only when using external monitors.
1Note: Triple and quad layer BDXL discs can only be used in BDXL drives.
26x BD-R and BD-R DL write speed achieved using certain media and only with the Pioneer USB driver installed (downloaded from the Firmware & Software tab).
3PowerRead is not guaranteed to work with all disc conditions or under all PC environments.
4PureRead2+ is not guaranteed to work with all disc conditions or under all PC environments .
5HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) display device is required only for playback of high-definition copy protected content (for example, a Hollywood Blu-ray title). For such content, the connection between the PC and the display device must be made using a digital DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort cable.

Three decades ago, conservative ideologues at The Heritage Foundation produced a primer for the "Reagan Revolution" titled "Mandate for Leadership." It offered a blueprint for the newly elected Reagan administration, as well as an overarching philosophy of governance. In reality, that philosophy was against the role of government and in favor of markets, by which they meant large corporations. Philosopher-philanthropist George Soros has called this approach "market fundamentalism;" others have labeled it neo-liberalism. Today, that overarching framework is bankrupt.
Domestically, we are facing the worst economic crisis in decades, and international respect for America has declined as we continue to make critical errors in Iraq, Afghanistan and Middle East. During last November's election, the American people voted for a fundamental change in our nation's policies, both at home and abroad. The level of dissatisfaction -- even repugnance -- about what the last eight years have wrought is ever more pronounced.
We can't allow tens of millions of Americans to remain mired in poverty, unsupported by well-paying jobs and essential benefits. In order to prevent this economic cycle from continuing, we must make sure all Americans have decent, affordable housing in supportive neighborhoods and put an end to homelessness. We need to provide good and affordable health care for the 47 million of our fellow citizens who lack it. We need an education systemâK-12 and beyondâthat prepares our children for the changes of the 21st Century. We need to stop bailing out banks, large corporations and wealth-holders and focus on the needs of working- and middle-class Americans. We need to repair or replace our bridges, roads, levees, sewers and schools, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. The list goes on and on. All this will require a fair tax system and a democratic process that involves us all as voters and activists.
Just as neo-liberalism guided our government on the domestic front since the Reagan years, neo-conservatism has been the dominant conservative framework for foreign policy. Under the most recent Bush administration, this overarching doctrine shunned multilateralism and international law. The United States is taking on the role of "global cop," and our policy officials assumed that we know best how to advance democracy and prosperity abroad. Iraq, Afghanistan and many other foreign policy disasters have proven that this is the wrong approach.
To improve our foreign relations, we first need to withdraw from our occupation of Iraq in a responsible manner. We need to use our influence to create justice and peace for all people in the Middle East. We need an international collaboration on climate policy. We need to take the lead in eliminating nuclear weapons from all nations. We need to treat other nations with respect. We need a powerful human rights agenda, abroad and at home.
There are high hopes and expectations for the Obama administration. Facing daunting problems of similar magnitude, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal brought bold change to the United States, thanks to creative organizing from grassroots organizations, unions and others. Today, fundamental change is again possible, but only if strong coalitions of citizen groups pursue a bold agenda that presses the new administration for real "change we can believe in." This is our mandate.
Chester Hartman, an associate fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Policy Studies.

Understanding the most effective ways to respond to and cope with stress has important implications for our longevity and well-being. Acute stressors are immediate and temporary while chronic stressors are more prolonged and involve ongoing threat and arousal. With regard to acute psychological stress, past research has indicated that those who exhibit large physiological reactions (i.e., cardiovascular responses) are more susceptible to negative health outcomes such as hypertension. New evidence, however, casts doubt on the assertion that large physiological reactions to stress are always bad for health. Carroll, Lovallo, & Phillips (2009) have shown that low reactivity to acute psychological stress is associated with a diverse set of negative outcomes including depression, weight gain, and compromised immunity. These findings make it much more difficult to label stress responses and coping strategies as "good" versus "bad" given that each seems to have both positive and negative consequences for one's physiological and psychological well-being.

With Utah's spring fishing season in full-swing, many anglers are wondering where the best places are to wet a line. The Division of Wildlife Resources provides a number of ways to find out.
Fishing information supplied by DWR personnel, and anglers who supply information about their latest fishing adventures, is recorded onto the DWR's information hot line by Friday afternoon each week, says Stacy Merchant, information specialist for the DWR.
The DWR's information hot line number is (877) 592-5169. "The information line is toll-free, even though it's an 877 number," Merchant says. "All of the 800 and 888 numbers have been used, so we were assigned an 877 toll-free number."
Anglers in the Salt Lake Valley and most of Davis County may also access the hot line by calling 596-8660. The hot line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The weekly fishing report also is available every day of the week at wildlife.utah.gov/fishing, which is one of the DWR's Web pages. Updates to the report are typically posted by Thursday afternoon each week.
At the DWR's Fishing Tips page, anglers may send fishing reports for other anglers to read and read the reports others have sent. The Fishing Tips page is also available at wildlife.utah.gov/fishing. "New reports are added to this page almost as fast as we get them, so be sure to check this page for the latest fishing information," says Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR.
Those wanting information about fishing conditions in specific DWR regions earlier than Thursday may call the Division of Wildlife Resources regional office in the region where the waters are located. Regional offices typically have fishing updates, for waters in their region, by Wednesday each week.
DWR regional offices are located in Ogden, Springville, Vernal, Price and Cedar City, and are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. Telephone numbers are as follows: Northern Region (Ogden office) (801) 476-2740; Central Region (Springville office) (801) 491-5678; Northeastern Region (Vernal office) (435) 781-WILD (9453); Southeastern Region (Price office) (435) 636-0260; Southern Region (Cedar City office) (435) 865-6100.
