Read: Why The Rangers Aren't Trading Derek Stepan
It has been reported over the last few days that the Rangers are refusing to include Derek Stepan in any trade proposal for Rick Nash or Bobby Ryan.
Do Rangers eventually see Stepan as No. 1 NHL centre so won't give him up for Nash?
— Jim Matheson (@NHLbyMatty) July 2, 2012
Stepan, 22, is signed for one more season, under his entry-level contract, and has a cap hit of $875,000.
He had 17 goals and 34 assists this past season and averaged 19 minutes a game and about 1:15 on the PK. He had 127 hits and 4 game winning goals. He had nine points in 20 playoff games.
Adam Rotter: The same reason that every team wants Derek Stepan is the same reason that the Rangers want to keep him. I don't think you trade the young two-way center, who is the best passer on your team, mature beyond his years, and will be able to had cost effectively for the next few years. He struggled in the playoffs and needs to be more consistent, but he just turned 22 years old.

Redesigned for the 2015 model year, the Ford Edge is a classy-looking crossover with cabin materials that elevate it into premium territory. Engine choices and ride quality emphasize practicality, making it a top crossover if you can ignore the fussy infotainment interface.
The following cars represent the most technically advanced available.
The 2015 Ford Mustang GT is not only an excellent and powerful entrant to a historic model line, but also a very fine example of a modern sports coupe, leaving out cabin electronics that fall behind the competition.
Ford has created its most outrageous hot hatch yet, the new Focus RS. And, unlike the car's predecessors, this one will be coming to the US.
Pricing not available
The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang adds nimble handling to its famous muscle heritage, proving an impressively fast ride for laps around the Mazda Laguna Seca race track.
Ford is rebooting the GT again, this time putting a twin-turbo V-6 in the back of a carbon-fiber chassis to create what will certainly be one of the most desirable sports cars on the road.
Pricing not available
The 2016 Explorer debuts at the LA Auto Show with automatic parking and park-out assist.
Pricing not available
Three years after its predecessor debuted, the 2015 Ford Focus Electric is still a good choice for a compact battery-powered car, but the newer competition offers slightly greater range and faster charging.
The heavy-duty Ford F-350 truck gets some fresh new aluminum duds, drops up to 350 pounds and picks up a bunch of new tech in the process.
Pricing not available
Only those with big families and serious towing requirements need apply.
The previous F-150 SVT Raptor set new heights for production off-road performance. More power and less weight can only mean great things.

Saladin was the first Muslim ruler to unite the middle east, and so far the last. His domain extended from Egypt to Yemen, and endured until his death. More recently Syria's Bashar al-Asad and Iraq's Sadaam Hussein have claimed to inherit his mantle (ironically in Sadaam's case, as Saladin was a Kurd), and Iran's Mahmud Ahmadi-Nejad is acting as if he too wants that title. Understanding Saladin (or more properly, Saleh ed-Din); the man and the era, can help provide some perspective to today's political situation.
The "Life of Saladin†was written in the twelfth century by Beha ed-Din, as an eyewitness account of the Sultan's life and labors; it was translated into French in 1890 and subsequently into English, is published by Adam Publishers & Distributors, New Delhi, and available through Amazon.
Saladin, perhaps best known for his struggles in the Third Crusade with Richard the Lionhearted, would probably prefer to be remembered for his stunning earlier success at the Battle of Hattin, where he crushed the Christian army and subsequently restored Jerusalem to Moslem rule after 95 years as the 'Kingdom of Jerusalem'. Beha ed-Din joined the Sultan's staff as a privy councilor shortly after Hattin, and was present during the siege of Acre and the battle of Tyre. While the narrative does read at times as a hagiography, the level of detail makes this book a suggested read for anybody interested in mid-eastern history and the Crusades.
During much of his reign, Saladin considered the Christian forces in the Levant to be an irritant rather than a force to be reckoned with, as he was more involved with the constant warfare from internal challenges to his authority. The arrival of Richard changed this, as the English King was the first military leader skilled enough to successfully challenge Saladin. Historians generally credit Richard with the win at Tyre, although neither side achieved all of their goals: Saladin left with his army intact, and Richard retained Tyre but went no further. After securing the port of Tyre Richard returned to England, expecting later Crusades to be able to use this city as the starting point back to Jerusalem. (This in fact was the goal of the Fourth Crusade, which never reached the Levant and instead ended with the Sack of Constantinople.) Saladin died shortly after Tyre, due to natural causes brought about from a lifetime in the field.
Military successes depend on political successes, and Saladin mastered both. To unify the region, he used a mixture of military prowess and political intrigue, fighting when necessary but preferring other means. The people understood that when he bested their local Emir that little would change, and that they would not be harmed and in fact would likely prosper from improved trade. According to Beha ed-Din his generosity was also well known – Saladin would keep none of the local treasure for himself when taking over but would distribute it to the people and those loyal to him. It was typical for Christian armies to slaughter all inhabitants of a captured town, leading to the obvious: the townspeople would fight furiously against Christians but lay down their arms to Saladin. (Reports of this behavior have been confirmed by western chronicles of the Crusades.)
Both Saladin and Richard saw their struggles as Holy War – they sought not riches but glory in the afterlife. Jerusalem was sacred ground to both – to the Christians as the land where Jesus walked and to the Moslems as an important part of the life of the Prophet. Both saw the other as infidels who were polluting the holy city. Both fought for God. The Moslems viewed the Christians as polytheistic heathen (because of the Christian Trinity), while Christians believed the Moslems to be defiling the holy land (because of their denial of Christ). A more complete explanation of the difference requires study of the social and religious structure of Medieval Europe and the role of the Vatican.
Saladin did not build a lasting empire. On his death in 1193 the forces that he had suppressed arose anew, and his sons were not able to command the same level of cooperation. Richard's kingdom survived, but not in the Levant.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate reporter
Nationally, the economy was able to expand last month for the first time in over a year. However, the local economy still shows signs of a long recession. Unemployment has been steady at about 7.7 percent in Carbon County, which is higher than Utah's average of 6.2 percent, but remains lower than the national average of about 9.8 percent (Update Nov. 6 now 10.2 percent), according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is Carbon County's highest incidence of unemployment since 2003, which comprised the highest rate since 1994. However, the situation is somewhat different now, because, in 2003, there were roughly 1,000 fewer people in the area. More people might be working, but more are also unemployed.
One of the hardest hit industries in Utah for Sept. 2009 was construction, which fell about 17.9 percent. Manufacturing was down 9 percent and professional and business services declined 6.3 percent. All of these percentages, provided by the BLS, detailed a 12- month difference
With the high levels of prolonged unemployment, other side effects have emerged that have proven difficult for the system to handle. One such problem is insurance. According to the health consumer organization, 40,200 people in Utah lost their health insurance in 2009. In Utah, as a whole, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 71.7 percent of the population under age 65 are insured by an employer. With the loss of insurance, many unemployed people become eligible for unemployment benefits. Yet, as the recession has continued, these too have become increasingly sparse for out-of-work families.
Because Utah has a high rate of people insured by an employer, a loss of a job can mean difficult times ahead for a family. Although the economy is showing signs of improvement, some of Utah's problems go deeper than the current recession. One such issue is the wage gap between men and women. Utah consistently ranks fourth nationally for the highest wage gaps. In a 2008 estimate of wage gaps issued by the BLS, women in Utah make about 69.3 percent of men's earnings for median earnings over 12 months. Only Louisiana, West Virginia and Wyoming rank higher. Wyoming rates highest at 64.3 percent.
"I think it's a bit unfair. I mean, women are just as capable as men," said Mindi Bowman, a waitress who works two jobs in Price.
While much of the economic data for the area shows a snapshot of the area's prosperity, it is important to realize that not everything depends on the numbers because circumstances can change quickly.

Where would the commercial kitchen be without disposable gloves? These inexpensive, yet extremely useful digit protectors are used almost everywhere in the kitchen, from the prep table to the cleaning closet, and having a box or two always on hand is wise. Cross-contamination happens more easily than you'd think. Slipping on a pair of disposable gloves before handling meat, chopping some vegetables, or cleaning up for the day can save you, your staff, and your customers from sickness or allergy-related reactions. Fortunately, most gloves come one-size-fits-all, and doing your part is as easy as remembering to wear a pair when working with food or cleaning supplies.

The Strainby Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In one week, Manhattan will be gone.
In one month, the country. In two months...the world.
At New York's JFK Airport, an arriving Boeing 777 taxiing along a runway suddenly stops dead. All the shades have been drawn, all communication channels have mysteriously gone quiet. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of a CDC rapid-response team investigating biological threats, boards the darkened plane...and what he finds makes his blood run cold.
A terrifying contagion has come to the unsuspecting city, an unstoppable plague that will spread like an all-consuming wildfire — lethal, merciless, hungry...vampiric.
And in a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem an aged Holocaust survivor knows that the war he has been dreading his entire life is finally here...
"Director Del Toro (who won an Oscar for Pan's Labyrinth) makes a dramatic splash in his fiction debut, the first volume in a vampires vs. humanity trilogy, coauthored with Hogan (Prince of Thieves). Just as a jumbo jet on a flight from Germany to New York is touching down at JFK, something goes terribly wrong. When Ephraim Goodweather, of the Centers for Disease Control, investigates the darkened plane, he finds all but four passengers and crew dead, drained of blood. Despite Goodweather's efforts to keep the survivors segregated, they get discharged into the general population. Soon after, the corpses of the tragedy's victims disappear. The epidemiologist begins to credit the wild stories of Abraham Setrakian, an elderly pawnbroker who's the book's Van Helsing figure, and concludes that a master vampire has arrived in the U.S. The authors maintain the suspense and tension throughout in a tour de force reminiscent of Whitley Strieber's early work. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The book boasts a plethora of arresting images and many terrific macabre touches....Great characters, a semi-plausible premise and a flair for striking scenes get this trilogy off to a first-rate start." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] predictable but generally engaging thriller. The chapters come in short bursts, mimicking the editing of a big-budget epic. (Grade: B)" The Onion A.V. Club
"The Strain is a competently constructed piece of entertainment, and I'll give it bonus points for shaking up some vampire clichés....What's missing in The Strain is the idiosyncratic artistry and the alchemical fusion of high and low pop that made Pan's Labyrinth so special. The novel could have used a little less Hogan and little more del Toro. (Grade: C)" Entertainment Weekly
"The first and last 100 pages or so are as good as it gets. What happens in between will keep you in a state of high anxiety approaching panic. The Strain will have you sleeping with a night light on for the rest of your life." BookReporter.com
An epic battle for survival begins between man and vampire in this heart-stopping thriller — the first in a trilogy — from one of Hollywood's most popular storytellers and a Hammett Award-winning writer. An electrifying and highly imaginative retelling of vampire lore that reaches from Eastern Europe during World War II to contemporary New York and features fascinating and unique biological and historical details.
"A high-tech vampire epic....Terrifying."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Part The Andromeda Strain, part Night of the Living Dead."
"Chuck Hogan is known for his taut thrillers, Guillermo del Toro for his surreal horror films…The Strain brings out the best of each."
An epic battle for survival begins between man and vampire in The Strain—the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy from one of Hollywoods most inventive storytellers and a critically acclaimed thriller writer. Guillermo del Toro, the genius director of the Academy Award-winning Pans Labyrinth and Hellboy, and Hammett Award-winning author Chuck Hogan have joined forces to boldly reinvent the vampire novel. Brilliant, blood-chilling, and unputdownable, The Strain is a nightmare of the first order.
About the Author
Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, Guillermo del Toro made his feature directorial debut in 1993 with the film Cronos, and has since gone on to direct Mimic, The Devil's Backbone, Blade II, Hellboy I, Hellboy II, and Pan's Labyrinth, which garnered enormous critical praise worldwide and won three Academy Awards. He will direct two films based on The Hobbit, to be produced by Peter Jackson.
Chuck Hogan abandoned his career as a video store clerk when his first novel, The Standoff, became a bestseller and was translated into fourteen international editions. His most recent novel, Prince of Thieves, was awarded the Hammett Prize for excellence in crime writing, and is being made into a major motion picture by Warner Brothers. He lives with his family in Massachusetts.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators tabled a decision on raising salaries for assistant district attorneys after Republicans complained Monday that Democrats were pushing a vote on an issue without proper review.
We have a process here and it doesnt appear its been followed, Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, said. Did the Democratic caucus get together and think this is a good idea?
Democratic legislators Vernon D. Sam Burns, Ogdensburg, and Gregory M. Paquin, Massena, were absent. Democrats who joined Republicans in voting to table were Jason R. Clark, Norfolk; Anthony J. Arquiett, Helena, and Stephen M. Putman, Canton.
District Attorney Mary E. Rain wants to raise the salary of her assistants as a way to keep an experienced staff and avoid mistakes that cost taxpayers money to right.
There is no cost savings in the constant turnover of this office. Thats what we had, she said. Youll have a prosecutors office that wont be the butt of jokes.
While legislators on both sides of the aisle congratulated Ms. Rain for the work her office is doing, the proposed pay raises represented percentage increases that ranged from 13 percent to 23 percent.
Chief Assistant District Attorney David A. Haggards salary would go from $80,816 to $98,575, making him paid more than any other department head.
The raises would total about $48,000.
It has to do with responsibility and comparison with what you can get somewhere else, Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, said. This is about safety and security.
However, approval would not have come at a worse time as the county is to negotiate today with public defenders who formed a union.
I think this puts us in a hell of a position, Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, said. I think this is a very poor time to bring this forward.
Ms. Rains proposed increases do not have the support of either Human Resources Director Christopher S. Boulio or Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire, who said the county does not have the money.
Yes, attorneys work long, hard hours, Mr. MacKinnon said. While I can sympathize, I also have to sympathize with the rest of our staff. These others have just as much responsibility.
The discussion was heated.
When Legislative Chairman Jonathan Putney, D-Waddington, interrupted Legislator Mark H. Akinss comment on how the request did not go through proper channels, Mr. Akins, R-Lisbon, scolded him.
What are you trying to hurry me for? Mr. Akins said. Please stop interrupting me.
Mr. Putney also cut off Legislator Daniel F. Parker, R-Potsdam.
What are you doing, limiting it to one question when he has the floor? Mr. Lightfoot asked in his defense.
Mr. Clark said it came down to personality conflicts within the board.
We have a genuine problem with crime in this county, he said. Part of the challenge we have is we cant keep prosecutors. We lose our D.A.s office every 18 months. You either choose pettiness or you move forward.
Legislator Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, disagreed with Mr. Clarks assessment, saying that the county has a committee to review non-union salaries that should be consulted.
I hardly ever agree with Fred Morrill but I like him, he said. Its not petty. Its a process.

Roads to Trails - Page 2
Q&A with Meb Keflezighi
What have you sacrificed the most to achieve your athletic success, and how has it shaped you as an athlete and person?
One of the biggest sacrifices I made in my career was leaving my family and hometown of San Diego, California. It is a beautiful place to live and train, but I knew that to maximize my potential, I needed to incorporate altitude training. So in 2001, Deena Kastor, Coach Joe Vigil, Coach Bob Larsen and I started Team Running USA-California in Mammoth Lakes, now known as the Mammoth Track Club. This led to Deena and I winning Olympic Medals in 2004 and the resurgence of American distance running.
Today, Mammoth is home to over a dozen Olympians and Olympic hopefuls. As a person, this experience has taught me that you sometimes have to give up certain things to achieve a bigger goal. I had to sacrifice my comfortable life with family, friends and great weather in San Diego to train in Mammoth and become a world-class runner. If you want something bad enough, you have to be willing to take risks, sacrifice and work very hard.
What advice would you give an aspiring elite athlete—road or trail—to achieve that next level of success?
Surround yourself with positive (yet realistic) and knowledgeable people. The key to progressing as a runner is consistent training. Listen to your body: Take a day off or cut a workout short rather than pushing too hard and having to take a week or more off to rehab an injury. Additionally, keeping a training log will help you accurately track your progress.
What is the best injury prevention?
Stretching, both before and after a run. As I grow older, I spend more time stretching throughout the day.
How much sleep do you get a day?
I try to get at least eight hours every night. Also, if necessary, I take a 20-minute nap.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary women's basketball team suffered a 58-46 setback against Colonial Athletic Association foe Drexel on Sunday afternoon from Kaplan Arena. Senior Janine Aldridge led the Tribe with 16 points, four steals and three assists. For the majority of the first half, W&M held court against the league's top team but Drexel managed to regain the lead before intermission en route to the win. For the year, the College falls to 2-14 overall and 0-5 in CAA action, while Drexel improves to 12-4 on the season and 5-0 in league play.
Senior Emily Correal finished the afternoon with nine points and seven rebounds, while sophomore Jazmen Boone netted eight points to go along with four boards. Sophomore Kyla Kerstetter capped the Tribe's output with six points and five rebounds. W&M finished the contest shooting 18-of-45 (40.0 percent) from the floor, which included a 5-of-20 (25.0 percent) effort from 3-point range. Against the CAA's top scoring defense, the Tribe was effective inside as it netted 20 points in the paint.
In a defensive minded opening half, the College was on the attack early as Aldridge's back door lay in at the 16:03 mark tied the contest at six. Minutes later, Aldridge gave the Green and Gold its first lead of the afternoon, 9-6, after the Massapequa, N.Y., native connected on her 269th career 3-pointer at the 14:28 juncture.
With 11:10 left to play in the half, W&M extended its lead when Aldridge discovered a streaking Boone, who connected on a fast break bucket, which gave the Tribe a 16-11 advantage. For the next eight minutes and forty-three seconds the Green and Gold maintained the lead until Drexel's Nicki Jones netted a jumper with 2:27 remaining, which gave the Dragon's a 21-20 edge. As the half came to a close, Drexel connected on a jumper with 22 seconds left courtesy of Taylor Wootton as it took a 25-22 lead into the locker rooms.
In second half action, Drexel opened the frame on a 9-2 run as it increased the margin to 34-24 with 13:58 remaining in the contest. Before the Tribe mounted a final charge, the Dragons' lead grew to 46-31 at the 9:05 juncture.
At the 2:38 mark, Boone's sixth point of the day got the Green and Gold to within 55-41. On the College's next possession, the Virginia Beach, Va., native gave W&M a chance as her jumper cut the deficit to 55-43 with 1:35 left in regulation. However, Drexel was able to connect from the foul line down the stretch as it secured the victory.
Wootton led the Dragons with a game-high 22 points, while Jones finished the contest with 15 points. For the game, Drexel shot 43.4 percent (23-of-53) from the floor and 20 percent (3-of-15) from 3-point territory.
The Tribe returns to action on Thursday, Jan. 24, as it welcomes CAA foe Towson to Kaplan Arena. Tip-off from Williamsburg, Va., is scheduled for 7 p.m. and fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com with live video and stats.

A Croghan man with several prior driving while intoxicated convictions was arrested early Monday in Warren County on a felony aggravated DWI charge.
Travis M. Queary, 29, also was charged with felony aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle after being seen failing to keep right multiple times on Route 9 in the town of Queensbury, according to the Warren County Sheriffs Department.
He had a blood alcohol content of 0.18 percent, the state threshold for aggravated DWI, deputies said. Under state law, a BAC of 0.08 percent or more constitutes intoxication.
Mr. Queary, who has four previous DWI convictions from 2005 to 2008, was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court and sent to Warren County jail, Lake George, without bail.
He twice pleaded guilty to felony DWI charges in Lewis County Court, Lowville, once in December 2005 and again in December 2008. He was entered into the county Drug Court program following the first conviction but failed to successfully complete it and in May 2007, while jailed in Fulton County on another DWI charge, was sentenced to six months in jail, five years probation, a $5,000 fine, a one-year drivers license revocation and participation in the ignition interlock program.
Mr. Queary was sentenced to one year in county jail, a $2,500 fine and a one-year drivers license revocation on the 2008 conviction.

n Ryan C. Platt, 27, Dexter, was charged by state police with aggravated DWI after he was involved in a property-damage accident at 10 a.m. Saturday on County Route 55 in the town of Denmark. He had a BAC of 0.21 percent, police said.
n Brent W. Swanson, 48, Natural Bridge, was charged by state police with aggravated DWI at 11:45 p.m. Saturday on Route 3 in the town of Diana. His BAC was not available.
n Melvin H. Perry, 45, of 720 Jay St., Ogdensburg, was charged Saturday by Ogdensburg police with aggravated DWI and consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle. Mr. Perry was stopped for allegedly failing to obey a stop sign at Crescent and Pickering streets. His BAC was not available.
n Robert A. Creel, 30, of 25112 Plank Road, Calcium, also was charged by Jefferson County sheriffs deputies with moving from a lane unsafely and driving an uninspected vehicle after he was involved in a property-damage accident at 8:13 p.m. Saturday on County Route 32 in the town of Pamelia. He had a BAC of 0.15 percent, deputies said. Mr. Creel swerved to avoid a deer and went off the right side of the road, hitting a mailbox and utility pole, they said.
n Susan M. Hohense, 24, Lenexa, Texas, also was charged by Jefferson County sheriffs deputies with driving across hazard markings, failure to keep right and speeding at 3:02 a.m. Sunday on Route 3 in the town of Champion. She had a BAC of 0.14 percent, deputies said.

Although the vendors and musicians won't occupy Main Street until Aug. 16-18, Helper's annual Arts and Music Festival is already beginning to involve young artists.
Volunteer professional artists are working with kids at area elementary schools to get them interested in art and in the festival, Kristen Taylor told the city council last week. Taylor and David Johnson are co-chairing the festival this year.
Another way the show is getting a head start is by having a traveling exhibit begin on the First Friday of August, Johnson said. Helper's Civic Auditorium will host the display of 30 panels created by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, spouse of world-famous Diego Rivera.
Johnson also said works sponsored by the Depression-Era Works Progress Administration will be exhibited during the festival.
Ruth Metzger requested and received permission from the council to hold a burnout competition on Main Street just north of Poplar Street. The burnout was near the Helper Park last year.
She said she has contacted neighbors and they had no objection. The county will install and remove the concrete barricades, Metzger added.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Maine has 50,000 people out of work -- 20,000 collecting unemployment. But in parts of the state.. and in certain businesses... there are jobs going unfilled. People in business and government blame it on what they call the job skills gap .
Every expert we talk with agrees that Maine doesn't have enough jobs. But the job skills gap is real, and for some kinds of businesses, it's a real problem. It's also a problem for people who are looking for work... especially people in their thirties, forties and older, who may not be able to find jobs because they're on the wrong side of that gap.
Managers and business owners in the metal trades have been complaining for years that they can't find enough trained workers to fill the jobs they have. And despite the recession, some other kinds of manufacturers also have that problem. Health care has a constant need for trained people, too. Businesses have complained to the state about it, and Maine Labor Commissioner Jeanne Paquette told us the skills gap is a real problem.
"It's because of the aging workforce that we're experiencing and the fact that we in our system have not adequately trained people for these jobs that are highly skilled jobs like manufacturing," Paquette told NEWS CENTER. " And I think you have to look yes there are people unemployed. Do they have the skills for the jobs in demand? That's our biggest challenge. And that's what we want to focus on is connecting those people with the jobs in demand.
There's a lot of attention being given right now to the skills gap issue. State government, the community colleges and the University --- and the businesses that need workers now. There are also critics, of course, who say there would be more willing workers if businesses paid more.

Biking to save money: 'It's groceries instead of gasoline'
UMPQUA, Ore. (AP) — Postmaster Mike Halstead hands out packages, helps customers select stamps and wishes folks "a dry day."
The valediction is more than a casual quip at the late spring rains. Halstead, 50, watches the incoming weather intently because at 4:30 p.m. he suits up to pedal his bicycle 15 miles home to Roseburg.
And that means taking whatever weather the sky dishes out.
"The dark, gloomy, dreary wet, it just wears on you," he said.
Driven by rising gas prices cutting into his finances, Halstead started commuting by bike a year ago.
That means heading to work an hour earlier in the morning and getting home an hour later in the evening. He drives once a week to bring lunches, bike repair gear and clothes to the post office. On the days he bikes, he calculates he saves $5 on gas. The savings add up.
"I'm on a pretty tight budget. If it wasn't a big deal to me, I'd drive, too," he said.
Halstead's most consumed fuel now is food. For his height and weight, Halstead figures he burns about 800 to 1,000 calories per ride.
"It's groceries instead of gasoline. Some days I just don't eat enough, and I can feel myself dragging," he said.
Halstead is one of a growing number of Americans hitting the road on two wheels.
The Census Bureau recorded a 44 percent jump in adults biking to work between 2000 and 2009.
While Portland, where 6.4 percent of the population pedals to work, has long touted its bike-friendly status and claims to be the No. 1 bike-commuter city, pedal pushers like Halstead are pioneers in a rural landscape.
Roseburg artist Dave MacFarlane, 47, can relate.
"There's a lot of ignorance that needs to be overcome about commuting by bike. It's not for the thin-skinned," he said. MacFarlane is the president of the Umpqua Velo Club, a local bike group, and a News-Review carrier who covers his 200-paper route with a bike and trailer.
He said bicycle commuters, who often trend upward during petroleum price spikes, face three major obstacles when they start: the physical strain, weather and motorists.
"The toughest thing is dealing with the traffic," MacFarlane said, noting the many times drivers have buzzed past him, honked rudely or stopped to confront him for riding his bike. "It's only a small percentage of people, but it's that small percentage that can ruin it for (new bike commuters). It can be intimidating riding with traffic."
In addition to safety education and mechanical skills, the most important tool a cyclist needs is tenacity, MacFarlane said.
"Be persistent with it. There's some tough things to overcome," he said.
Halstead is no rookie to cycling. He's a longtime cyclist who was an Umpqua Velo Club officer and used to ride the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic, a one-day ride that crosses more than 200 miles.
Still, the daily commutes hold new challenges for him.
"The commuting is definitely a whole different beast," he said.
Adding to the weather are the roadblocks, large and small.
Most of Halstead's route between Garden Valley and Umpqua sports a wide bike lane, but that doesn't make his 30-mile round-trip trek easy. During his rides, he's encountered branches, trash and road kill. He's had near misses with deer.
There's also the flat tires. Nails, staples, screws have all found their way into his tires. One day, he patched three flats.
In the past year, he has broken the frame on a bike and built a new bike from spare parts and bargains found online.
"So it's a Heinz 57, but it's an excellent commuter bike," he said, pointing out a mud flap he fashioned from a cut Mountain Dew bottle and a shot tire.
So that his bike can withstand the daily wear and tear, he removed the gears to limit the small moving parts that could be gummed up by gravel.
Halstead said kvetching isn't the sum total of his commuting experience. He enjoys the exercise, the savings and time to think.
"I do enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but there's a lot of necessity to it, too," he said. "It's a constant state of improvising."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Former New York Giants punter and radio analyst Dave Jennings has died. He was 61.
The Giants announced that Jennings died at his home in Upper Saddle River on Wednesday morning after being informed of his death by his sister, Susan Jennings, and several close friends. Jennings was a graduate of St. Lawrence University in 1974.
The most prolific punter in franchise history, Jennings had battled Parkinsons disease, a chronic degenerative neurological disorder, since 1996.
Jennings, who averaged 40 yards a kick in four years with St. Lawrence, played for the Giants from 1974-84. He holds the franchise records for punts (931, or 405 more than second-place Sean Landeta) and yards (38,792). Jennings was selected to play in the Pro Bowl in 1978, `79, `80 and `82. He punted a career-high 104 times in 1979, which was the Giants record until Brad Maynard had 111 punts in 1997.
Jennings punted for more than 4,000 yards in a season three times (1979-81) and had a career-best 44.8-yard average in 1980
Dave Jennings was one of the all-time great Giants, John Mara, the Giants president, said. He was a valued member of the Giants family for more than 30 years as a player and a broadcaster, and we were thrilled to include him in our Ring of Honor. More importantly, he was an outstanding person who battled his illness with rare courage and dignity. We will miss him dearly.
Giants chairman Steve Tisch said Jennings lived his life with class and dignity, and he was the ultimate professional as a player and commentator.
Dave is and always will be a Giants Giant, Tisch said.
Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson said Jennings the first player he met joining the team in 1976, describing him as a great guy who was loved by everyone.
The Giants were not very good when Dave and I were teammates in the 1970s, Carson said. Dave was one of the few bright lights on those teams as a punter.
After leaving the Giants, Jennings punted for the Jets from 1985-87. He worked as a radio commentator for Jets games from 1988-2001.
In 2002, Jennings moved into the Giants radio booth with Bob Papa and the late Dick Lynch. He was also a part of the Giants pre and postgame shows. Jennings was replaced in the booth by Carl Banks after the 2007 season and left broadcasting the following year.

|Elon Takes Two From ASU
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Sunday, 13 March 2011 09:07
A furious comeback in the nightcap fell just short as Appalachian State University baseball dropped both ends of a doubleheader to visiting Elon on Saturday at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium. Appalachian lost the opener, 10-4, and fell 5-4 in game two.After Elon (11-5, 2-0 SoCon) turned a close game into a rout with five runs in the final two innings of game one, Appalachian (8-7, 0-5 SoCon) rallied late to nearly earn a comeback win in the nightcap.
Trailing 5-0 after four-and-a-half innings of the second game, ASU scored a run in the sixth inning and three more in the seventh to cut the deficit to 5-4. Back-to-back singles by Tyler Zupcic (Charlotte, N.C./Providence) and Jack Myers (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) put the tying and winning runs on base with one out in the bottom of the ninth but catcher Jeremy Dowdy (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield), who had three hits in his first seven at-bats of the afternoon, grounded into a game-ending double play.
An early deficit haunted the Mountaineers in the first ballgame too, as Elon led 3-0 after one-and-a-half innings. Much like the nightcap, Appalachian battled back from the early deficit to cut the Elon lead to one run. However, after ASU rallied to cut the Phoenix led to 5-4 in the seventh inning, Elon answered with three runs in the eighth and two in the ninth to put the game out of reach.
Besides Dowdy, who went 3-for-8 over the twinbill with an RBI in the first game and a double in the second, the Mountaineers were led offensively by Myers, who had five hits in two ballgames (2-for-4 in game one and 3-for-4 in game two). Zupcic scored two runs and drove in another in the opener and added two hits, an RBI and a run scored in the nightcap. Freshman Lawrence Pardo (Miami, Fla./Christopher Columbus) had a career-best 3-for-4 effort with a double in game one.
Appalachian's starting pitchers — Nathan Hyatt (Brevard, N.C./Brevard) and Pardo — labored through six innings apiece, with both surrendering five runs (although one of Hyatt's was unearned). However, relievers Tyler Jackson (Jonesville, N.C./Starmount) and Ryan Arrowood (Rutherfordton, N.C./Central) were integral to the ASU rally in game two, as the duo combined for three innings of one-hit relief.
Elon was led by shortstop Neal Pritchard (3-for-4, triple, RBI, run) in the opener and left fielder Jake Luce (2-for-3, double, triple, RBI, run) in the nightcap. The Phoenix banged out five triples in the doubleheader while the teams combined to turn eight double plays (five by ASU, three by Elon).
ASU will look to salvage a win in the three-game series when the teams meet on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Smith Stadium.

Have you noticed some noises coming from your air conditioner lately? Does it seem to work differently than when you first used it? Whenever you use your air conditioner, don't you seem to feel the same degree of coldness as before? If you answered yes to any of the foregoing questions, chances are you will need to hire an AC repair company to take a look at it. Be sure to hire only the leading Miami AC Repair company since you can rest assured that your air conditioner gets the best tune-up. How then can you know that you are hiring only the leading repair company in your area? Try to consider the following:
What do people say about the repair company?
It must have a good reputation. When you ask some people about the repair company, do they give you a frown or do they smile and tell you something good about it? The thing is you will often hear some positive feedbacks from people if they trust the repair company. Obviously, they trust the repair company because it can offer very good AC repair services.
Is it known for its excellent customer service?
It must have a very commendable customer service. You can easily talk to the manager or any representative of the repair company when you know that your concerns will be addressed appropriately. Hence, a leading AC repair company can absolutely make its clients feel confident in the idea that it is doing its best to provide them with the most reliable AC repair service.
Does it require a reasonable rate?
The rate it requires must be reasonable enough for the amount of repair work rendered. Take note that the leading repair company does not ask for exorbitant rates. You can find out about the AC repair rates online. Try to visit the websites of several AC repair companies so that you can know and compare the different rates offered by different repair companies. You can also drop by a couple or more of the AC repair companies that you see along the way in your area. You must not hesitate to inquire various repair companies. Your co-workers or neighbors can also share what they know pertaining to the rates offered by the AC repair companies that they hire. Once you get to know the different rates, you can then find out about the average cost of a regular AC repair. By doing so, you can at least gauge whether a certain repair company requires high rates or reasonable rates.
What services does it offer?
The services offered by the leading AC repair company vary. It should also be able to provide some or all of the services related to air conditioner repairs and tune-ups such as mold removal, leak repairs, air duct cleaning and air conditioner installation to name a few. You can rely better on an AC repair company that can provide various types of AC repair services and other AC maintenance services since you can be sure that they are capable of giving the most accurate solutions to any issues pertaining to air conditioner.

Comments about DW Performance Series Floor Tom:
I purchased this tom to augment my new five piece Performance kit that included a 14X16 floor tom. It is much more versatile when you can tune up a quartet of notes from a full octave across four drums vs. only three. The low-mass lugs are just miniature versions of what we have seen for years in the Collectors Series, but these are drums that average about 1/3 less in cost. The sound is amazing, and the tuning is rock solid, due in no small part to those finer thread tension rods. I personally like the 40-45 degree bearing edges on DW drums, and had them on a 7yr. old Gretsch Catalina Maple kit that I traded for these. I personally believe this bearing edge produces the best stick rebound, even with lower tunings. I have this kit tuned to G, two full steps above where I had the Gretsch kit tuned(E), and the overtones are incredible. Awesome kit overall. DW has some really great colors and finishes, and it seems they have changed a bit since the series was intro'd, so if you're thinking about expanding your kit, do it while you can get the color/finish to match your kit.

Comments about DW Performance Series Floor Tom:
The Performance Series is the probably one of the best deals you can get today. It's a professional drum set at a decent price. The tone is great, it's well crafted. The 14" Floor Tom completes your 5-piece kit if you need one.
Excellent product !!!
Best Uses
Comments about DW Performance Series Floor Tom:
This is a terrific drum which completes my DW Performance Set; I love the bottom sound. Added to this, they were offering a Veteran's Day Special, which made an exceptional price, for a quality drum. Very Happy!

Welcoming a new baby into your life can be both an amazing and overwhelming experience, especially for first-time parents. Our care and support doesn't end when you leave the hospital.
It is important to remember that you also need to take care of yourself during this postpartum period. As always, if you have any concerns or would like further information, please talk to your health care provider.
Ask any one who has children what it's like to be a parent, and you are likely to get a full range of responses that typically boil down to it's the most wonderful, challenging and life changing experience you can imagine. It's often difficult to adequately articulate exactly what that means, and even harder to comprehend, until you are living it. At BIDMC we offer our patients a continuum of care, starting from pre-conception, and continuing through to after your delivery when you leave the hospital with your baby and are home adjusting to your new life as parents.
The Parent Connection is a free service that offers new moms groups in several community locations as well as a mentoring moms service where parents are matched with a trained, volunteer mentor who provides weekly phone call support through the first twelve weeks post-delivery. Mentors lend valuable support, encouragement and reassurance as well as resource information particularly around breastfeeding, or when to call your pediatrician. As mentors initiate calls during the first days home from the hospital, they are often in a position to recognize early signs of a postpartum mood disorder and thereby help families get connected to the appropriate health care provider as early as possible. The program's new moms groups offer the opportunity to meet other new moms in your community and provide another place to ask questions. Prior to delivery, the program offers a workshop for expectant couples titled "Becoming Parents" that is aimed at helping couples anticipate and plan for their baby's arrival. The Parent Connection is an award winning program that has received rave reviews from participating families.
"I just want to say a huge Thank You and tell you how much the mentor program has meant to me. My mentor has not only been there to answer my questions, but most importantly she has helped me to believe in my abilities and trust my instincts as a mother. I rely on her weekly calls, or just knowing someone will be there to listen is something I cherish. Kudos to BIDMC for having such amazing resources for their patients that extends far beyond the delivery room."
For more information please contact Christine Sweeney, LICSW at 617-667-BABY (2229)

Thinking about memory and aging, there was a an interesting article at the U.S. National Institutes of Health: referenced the other day, although I should add I don't support researchers jumping to conclusions about what causes which symptom, without some kind of evidence, which is thin in that report.
I have more than a passing interest in the matter as my own brain ages, and I find my analytical and retention methods change – all by themselves, and by "change" I don't mean "deteriorate". It occurs to me that advancing technology may not be any help in maintaining the brain's agility. I thought the reverse, and then I realized I was neither taking a note, nor bookmarking a page, for the above reference, as I have 24/7 access to search engines, on, count 'em, five devices, at least two of which I carry, one of which is glued to my hip, or in a pocket of my dressing gown, and search engines are now so good that once you've found a piece of information, it is easy to find it again. I am privileged, I suppose, in having worked with computers and in the computer industry since 1968, and having spent a significant portion of my career in telecommunications research. Something I wasn't quite prepared for, though, is that so many people in my age group are only semi-literate in the computing world, and have lost a significant portion of the reference media they used to use.
