If your jeans' leather patches are tarnished or have absorbed excessive oil, causing discoloration (which is inevitable, by the way), you can follow a few easy steps to keep them looking good. This guide comes courtesy of the Fifth Requisite blog, and you can find the entire process with easy-to follow-photos there.
You'll rub Steklean or another leather cleanser on the surface of the patch. Wipe it around until thoroughly coated. Then, wipe the patch with a damp cloth to remove the cleaner. After it's dried completely, apply your favorite leather-protecting solution to the surface. The result will be a clean, gorgeous leather patch that looks good as new.

Do you want to cut your monthly cable and Internet bills, but can't live without "Pawn Stars" or streaming cat videos? You're not alone.
In fact, the cost of digital service packages that include cable, Internet, and phone jumped from an average of $48 in 2001 to $128 by 2011, according to data from the research firm, SNL Kagan.
And while services have improved over time to include options like high-definition channels and lightning-speed Internet, these costs can still take a toll on your wallet.
If you think your cable and Internet bills could use a trim, read on to learn how you could save - without completely sacrificing your digital lifestyle.
Tip #1 - Bundle Your Cable, Internet, and Phone
Looking to save a bundle on your digital services? Purchasing everything from one company - known as "bundling" - could get you a better deal.
Why? Because digital service companies want your business, and competition for customers can be stiff, according to "Save a Bundle," a 2010 survey from Consumer Reports. It also found that many companies often package their most popular services at a lower rate, while others try to tempt consumers by offering additional perks, like free installation, gift cards, and DVRs.
Steven Zussino, president of Canadian consumer savings website GroceryAlerts.ca, offers similar insight.
"You can most likely get your television, Internet, and telephone all through one company, which can lead to some big savings," says Zussino.
[Find the best digital services bundle for you. Click to compare rates now.]
These bundled packages can include anything from "double-play" or "triple-play" options that offer combinations of two or three of those services. As if that weren't enough, some providers also offer "quad-play" packages that include a cell phone plan.
"Bundling can potentially result in significant monthly savings," says Andrew Schrage, editor of the consumer-savings website MoneyCrashers.com. "Just be sure to fully investigate the offerings before signing up to make sure you won't spend more money by receiving services you don't actually need."
According to Consumer Reports, bundling has satisfied 50 percent of their surveyed readers.
Tip #2 - Shop Around and Negotiate
We know, switching service providers can be a pain in the butt. However, shopping around for a deal that can save you money...well, that should always be worthwhile.
Perhaps that's why Schrage offers this suggestion: "If you can handle the inconvenience, switch companies whenever you see a cheaper rate."
You should also try to negotiate a deal without a contract so you can switch companies easily if you find a better deal, he adds.
But what if you have a certain amount of loyalty to your current provider? Totally understandable. And if you fall into this category, Zussino suggests talking to your provider to see what they can do for you.
"If you're considering leaving for another company, talk to the retention department first to see if they can offer a better deal," he says.
For example, ask your provider if they'll match a competitor's price on Internet service, or if they'll upgrade your Internet speed at a discounted price. See what they're willing to offer to get you to stay with them.
If they won't budge, then it might be time for you to consider your other options.
"Sometimes a relationship has run its course and there's nothing left to do to save it," says consumer-savings expert Andrea Woroch of Kinoli, Inc., a company dedicated to online and mobile money-savings solutions. If your provider is unwilling to budge on a better price, it may be time for a break-up, she says.
Woroch suggests using a comparison tool to find standard rates from the top providers in your area.

Tip #3 - Opt for the Basics
If you're serious about saving money and could live without cable, it's worth considering this option, according to Schrage.
But if you think giving up on cable means giving up on your favorite TV dramas or reality shows, think again. Even without cable, there are plenty of ways to see your favorite shows, says Zussino, who advises you to see if the shows you watch are available online.
If they are offered online, then giving up cable and investing in higher-speed Internet might be a smart money-saving option for you.
While it might seem crazy, there are quite a few people out there living without cable. According to "Cutting the Cable Cord," a 2012 survey by the consumer website TechBargains.com, 29 percent of consumers don't have either cable or digital satellite service. What's more, an additional 17 percent said they were planning to end their cable service within a year.
Of course, if you're a TV-fiend, cutting cable from your life and streaming TV shows online may not bring you as much satisfaction.
The Bottom Line
Whether it's cutting premium channels, downgrading to a slower Internet speed, or simply shopping around for the best rates, it's up to you to determine what the right option is for your digital lifestyle - and wallet.
Tip #4 - Trim the Extras
Do you really need 500 channels and three paid movie services? What about high-speed Internet and HDTV? If you're not using these services to their full potential, cutting them from your plan could save you big.
In fact, "The best way to lower your cable bill is to examine your cable package and determine services and channels that you can cut," says Schrage. He suggests figuring out which channels you view the most and downgrading to a less expensive package.
The same applies to high-definition channels, says Woroch.
"Getting high-definition channels comes with an extra charge as well as an extra equipment rental," she says. If you casually watch a couple hours of TV each week, Woroch suggests sticking with the standard definition package.
[Find the best digital services package for you. Click to compare rates now.]
As for cutting Internet costs, Schrage says that unless you're a heavy Internet user - someone who streams HD videos, for example - "consider reducing your connection speed." Even if trimming this service results in only $10 of monthly savings, he says, that's a total annual savings of $120.

On April 10, the Emery County commissioners, along with David Blackwell, the county attorney and Brenda Dugmore, the county clerk, were at the Sheriff's Office building in Green River to receive comments on a proposed increase in the sales and use tax. Millard, Kane and Emery counties are three of Utah's 29 counties that did not impose a .25 percent increase which was first authorized in 1998.
This year, the Utah Legislature enacted Section 59-12-1802 which authorizes the State to impose the tax if the county does not impose it. In that event, the revenue generated from the tax would go to the State until the county passes an ordinance to impose the tax.
With the May 25 deadline looming, the county officials held the public hearings that are required before this tax can be imposed. At the Green River Public hearing, no residents were present and no public comments were were heard. Members of the press voiced their support of the tax increase. The .25 percent increase will not actually raise taxes per se. There will be a .25 percent decrease in the property tax to offset the tax increase.
The second public hearing was held on April 17 at the Emery County Commission meeting. Commissioner Drew Sitterud said, "If we do adopt this tax increase it will result in no new money for the county. The tax will be offset by taking the increase off the property values. One of the public hearings had to be after 6 p.m. and that was held in Green River," said Commissioner Sitterud.
Lt. Bill Downard spoke in favor of adopting the increase. "We might as well keep the money here in the county," said Downard. Public Lands Council chairman Bruce Wilson also voiced his support of the increase. Republican party chairman Bill Dellos said he was also in favor of the increase.
The commission came out of their public hearing and voted to enact the tax increase. The tax increase will take effect on Jan. 1, 2008. Within 15 days of the passing of the ordinance, notification must be put in the paper advising the county residents that the ordinance has been passed.
The new ordinance says: In addition to all other taxes imposed, the county hereby imposes the sales and use tax of .25 percent of 1 percent. This tax is imposed upon all sales and uses made in the county, including sales and uses made within the cities and towns. All revenues collected shall be revenues of Emery County.

The Lure of Smugglers' Notch
Just a few miles beyond the tourist destination that is Stowe, VT lays the pastoral haven of Smugglers' Notch State Park. A narrow pass through the Green Mountains with 1,000 foot cliffs on either side, Smugglers' Notch began as a mere foot and horse path. However, an Embargo Act, prohibiting trade with Great Britain and Canada passed by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807, changed the history of this nameless, seemingly insignificant trail.
The Embargo created a severe hardship for residents of northern Vermont, as Montreal was much closer than other markets from which they might obtain goods. Many Vermonters continued illegal trade with Canada during this time, herding cattle and other goods through what had now become known as Smugglers' Notch. Later fugitive slaves used the Notch to escape to Canada and during Prohibition in the 1920's liquor was smuggled in to Vermont from Canada.
The actual notch is a passage way between Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak. Smugglers' Notch State Park provides scenic views, great hiking and unlimited adventure. Recreational opportunities abound in the area, from hiking and rock climbing, to kayaking and exploring hidden caves. But one need not be an athlete to simply relax and enjoy the natural beauty. This magnificent landscape is literally a feast for the eyes as it contains everything from steep cliffs to house-sized boulders to panoramic views and mountain-top vistas to the still and peaceful Sterling Pond. There is something for everyone.

Winterizing and Storing the RV
Although many individuals and families enjoy the RVing lifestyle as full–timers, many others appreciate the benefits on a more limited basis, such as during vacations, holidays, weekend getaways or maybe combination trips of business mixed with pleasure. For those who utilize the RV of their choice only part–time, there comes a time when the RV must be stored for a period of non–use. If located in the colder regions of the country, it will also be necessary to protect the RV against the cold by winterizing the coach. Whether the RV will be stored in cold or temperate climates, certain precautions must be taken.
Specific tasks and procedures for each of the major systems and components of the RV must be performed in order to store or winterize the coach effectively. One of the most damaging effects that can happen to an RV, short of abuse, is ill–prepared non-use. To get the most from the RV, following the procedures in this article will ensure the RVer of extended coach life and many more joyful RVing miles. For optimum efficiency, the following strategic and sequential steps are designed to be implemented in the order written so that nothing falls through the cracks.
As a preliminary step to winterizing or storing the coach, completely wash the exterior. Doing so will get the storing preparation off to a good start. A clean coach will reveal items that need to be addressed prior to the spring shakedown.

Hi, folks,
Many folks successfully use their RVs in cold weather, but it takes some preparation to stay toasty when it's freezing outside. This month's column addresses some issues surrounding winter camping.
If you are planning to be in Quartzsite in January, or if you live nearby, be sure to consider attending RVers' Boot Camp! The program includes training in RV maintenance and operation, tire and weight safety, fire and life safety, RV driving and more. For more info, visit the Boot Camp page at

Hi, Mark:
I am spending four months this winter skiing at Mammoth Lakes, Lake Tahoe and Breckenridge, Colorado. Two of the RV resorts include electric in the monthly rental. The RV resort in Colorado charges a monthly rate plus electricity. Is it cheaper to heat my RV (29–foot Winnebago Minnie) using propane or electricity? Tom
Hi, Tom:
Manufacturers of electric resistant heaters generally claim that the input of one kilowatt/hour produces about 3,400 BTUs, assuming 100 percent efficiency. Most electric heaters come fairly close to that. Each gallon of propane contains about 91,700 BTUs of heat energy. A typical RV forced-air furnace is probably only about 75 percent efficient, so a gallon of propane burned in the furnace will produce about 69,000 BTUs of heat. If you are operating a vent–free heater, like a blue–flame heater or a catalytic heater, those approach the 100 percent efficiency level. So let's see… my calculator says it takes about 22 KW of electricity to match the heat output of my forced–air furnace burning a gallon of propane. It would take about 27 KW to match my vent–free heater's output. Armed with those numbers, it's easy to figure out whether electric or propane is cheaper at your location. For instance: If I'm using my furnace and the cost of electricity is $.10/KWH, once the cost of propane reaches about $2.20 a gallon, electric starts to be the better value. In the example above, the break–even point would be about $2.70 a gallon if the vent–free heater was being considered.

A Toxic-Free Way to Clean Holding Tanks
As with one's home, a simple way RVers can go pro–environment is by switching over to greener products that help keep the rig in tip–top shape. These environmentally friendly versions of RV cleaning and maintenance agents are just as effective as their chemical–based competitors – not to mention safer for the person who uses the product.
Take, for instance, the majority of products designed for maintaining an RV's holding tanks and all other related plumbing components. While one may think that only the strongest chemicals can solve the problem, that's not the case with the Pure Power line of RV waste digester and odor eliminator products from OP Products, a maker of organic cleaning and maintenance products for RVs, boats, septic–plumbing systems, surfaces and fabrics, as well as a wide range of RV parts and accessories. The company's mission is to manufacture safe and useful products that will not harm the environment or endanger the health or well being of individual users.
OP Products' Pure Power line is made of an advanced solution of 100 percent biodegradable, non–toxic bacteria and enzymes that enhance the naturally occurring bacterial activity in septic systems, dump station facilities and sewage treatment plants. According to the company, using 2 ounces of Pure Power per 40 gallons will keep black and gray tanks clean and odor free, and the formula will even break down household 2–ply toilet paper.

Innovative Class B+ Models Gaining in Popularity
Phoenix USA RV
has emerged as one of the most popular manufacturers in recent months, as the RV market shifts toward smaller and more efficient models. The company's Class B+ models are slightly larger than Class B campers, but include the major amenities typically only found in larger rigs, such as a slideout and a full dry bath with shower. The result is a lightweight, easy–to–maneuver motorhome with a surprisingly spacious interior.

Avoiding the Bill Chill
From the pages of Camping Life Magazine
I was a young and fresh–faced soldier on maneuvers during winter. The symptoms of hypothermia were classic – after a few hours I began to shiver as my body attempted to overcome the chill by creating its own heat–producing exercise. I became sleepy. I could feel the numbing cold invade my very center. Then the intense shivering died off, and I honestly didn't care much one way or the other about the situation any more.
When my relief arrived, he recognized my symptoms, initiated the proper actions and I lived to tell about it. Many are not so fortunate.

Here is an amusing story about what my wife and I went through during our rookie year of camping.
It was 10 years ago when we were setting the groundwork for the travels we would be making upon our retirement. We bought a 30-foot Glendale travel trailer and set it up in a membership park in our area. Not having a truck at that time, we were dependant on the services of the park to bring it down to our favorite spot on what they called the square. We would come up for the weekend and level it with scissor jacks and wood shims. When we left on Sundays, we would take the shims and jacks off so it could be removed to the storage area at their convenience.

Cooking With Mom – Sharing Favorite Recipes
For many kids and adults, some of their favorite memories with Mom have been spent in the kitchen or around the dinner table. Whether she was whipping up a batch of your favorite chocolate chip cookies or making your favorite birthday meal, cooking with Mom is a memory that never fades. Many of us have such distinct memories of the food our Mothers have made over the years that a whiff of her home-made lasagna can bring back memories of family gatherings and stories.
For Mother's Day, whether you're celebrating with a special Mother's Day brunch or recreating some of your Mom's recipes for your own children, we think it's incredibly important to share those recipes and memories from the one who started it all- your mom. If you're thinking about gift ideas, compiling some of your favorite recipes together that Mom has made over the years is a sweet way to show her how much you pay attention to what she contributes to every event.
A few of Cardstore's own Mother's Day cards are kitchen and cooking-themed, perfect for that Mom or Grandma who always has something fresh coming out of the oven. Picking a card that lets you personalize the front with details about what you love most about her is another fun way to give Mom a shout out about some of your favorite things she's made over the years. What are some of your favorite recipes passed down from your Mom?

The article recently published online in the journal Cancer (due in print in their March issue) looks at the risks factors that increase the likelihood of a woman being diagnosed with breast cancer in her "other" breast after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The article was done at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. It looked at 542 women with breast cancer diagnosed in one breast (unilateral breast). All of the women decided to have this and the other breast (contralateral prophylactic mastectomy).
The researchers identified are three factors that increases the chance of cancer in the other breast. These three factors are:
- having more than one tumor in the same breast at the time of initial diagnosis of breast cancer
- having invasive lobular breast cancer, which begins in the milk-producing glands called lobules rather than in the milk ducts, and then invades surrounding tissues
- having a high score in the so-called Gail model that calculates breast cancer risk and considers things such as age at first menstrual period, age when first child was born and whether close relatives like mother or sister had the disease.
Factors that did not help determine the risk of developing a future cancer in the other breasts included: race and hormone receptor status of the cancer.
The study did not focus on whether mutations in the genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 that raise the risk of breast cancer also raised the risk of having cancer later develop in the initially unaffected breast. Often women with these mutations or a strong family history of breast cancer get preventive mastectomies even before any tumor has developed in either breast.
Having a breast surgically removed when you have breast cancer in the other breast has long been an option, but there appears to be a renewed interest among women (and their doctors).
When I was a plastic surgery resident and early in my practice, prophylactic mastectomies were an accepted way to deal with the "high risk" of breast cancer. We often did bilateral prophylactic mastectomies. I found my copy of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Position Paper on Prophylactic Mastectomy (recommended criteria for third-party payer coverage) from 1994. Here are the indications listed:
Prophylactic mastectomy is recommended for either the treatment of breast symptoms or to prevent cancer from developing in the breast. Accepted indications for mastectomy include the presence of biopsy-proven tissue of uncertain behavior, the presence of microscopic foci of lobular carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in-situ, and both personal and family histories of breast cancer. In these high-risk patients, statistics support prophylactic mastectomy. Fibrocystic mastopathy may generate enough fibrosis to render mammography useless for cancer detection.
Other indications for mastectomy and reconstruction include injected silicone mastopathy, a history of multiple breast biopsies, cancerphobia, progressive fibrocystic mastopathy preventing adequate examination, and refractory mastodynia.
Definite indications for prophylactic mastectomy include lobular or ductal carcinoma in-situ; proliferative atypical dysplasi; severe dysplasia; personal history of breast cancer; personal history of breast cancer in opposite breast; one first-order relative with bilateral, premenopausal breast cancer; two first-order relatives with premenopausal breast cancer; desmoid tumor of the breast or giant fibroadenoma; cystosarcoma phylloides; significant virginal hypertrophy, and post-injection silicone mastopathy.
Two or more of the following conditions also represent indications for prophylactic mastectomy: one first-order relative with premenopausal breast cancer, one first-order relative with postmenopausal breast cancer, obscured mammograms due to fibrosis, history of multiple breast biopsies, and refractory fibrocystic mastodynia.
It is nice to have this new study as it reinforces many of the reasons I was taught, but it also "refines" the reasons. However, this is not a new treatment. It is a "resurgence" of an old treatment. It fell out of favor because it became difficult to get insurance to pay for it.
Predictors of Contralateral Breast Cancer in Patients with Unilateral Breast Cancer undergoing Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy; CANCER Print Issue Date: March 1, 2009; Published Online: January 26, 2009; DOI: 10.002/cncr.24129 (abstract); Min Yi, Funda Meric-Bernstam, Lavinia P.

Financial pressures coupled with rampant unemployment have increased the demand for rental properties.
According to GlobeSt.com, a commercial real estate and property resource, as more Americans are unable to meet mortgage financing requirements, the trend is toward renting, which pushes occupancy rates higher.
The Rochester rental market echoes this trend. The apartment market here is stable and strong, says Christine Giuliano, property manager and part owner of Flower City Management Corp., whose rental properties include the Medical Arts Building on Alexander Street, Chapel Hill Apartments on Prince Street and other locations in the Park Avenue neighborhood.
Carol Pospula, who works in leasing and tenant relations at Buckingham Properties LLC, says she noticed more stability in the local market last winter than usual. Normally at that time of year the market is slow, because most people do not enjoy moving during the winter. But the mild winter resulted in more people moving, Pospula suggests.
Buckingham Properties has Buckingham Commons at 85 Allen St., lofts in the Michaels-Stern Building on Pleasant Street, Water Street Commons on Water Street and the Daily Record Building.
Rich Calabrese, owner of RentRochester.com, a website where owners list properties, also says Rochester's rental market has been stronger in the last year or two.
"Rochester has historically had one of the most steady residential real estate markets nationwide," Calabrese says. "We don't have the huge ups and downs as larger markets, and that's what keeps us stable."
Though low interest rates could entice potential homeowners, owners of rental properties are unfazed. In her experience, Giuliano has discovered that there will always be a market for people who would rather rent than buy. Add to it an uncertain economy and the pool of renters increases.
With a home being one of the largest investments an individual makes, Guilano says tough economic times could hinder this move since it requires a higher level of commitment that could be risky for most.
Flower City Management's apartment occupancy rate tops 99 percent. Depending on the type of property, monthly rents range from $500 for a moderately priced apartment on Park Avenue to $2,000 for a newly renovated, high-end apartment at 277 Alexander St.
The occupancy rate nationally, at 93.4 percent for the third quarter this year, is as high as it has ever been, according to industry news source Realty Times. The rate was 92.6 during the last peak of the market, the third quarter of 2008.
Location does play a role in rental prices, and with new construction and more options to live downtown, landlords are getting competitive.
"Landlords are upping their game to include many more amenities than in the past," Pospula says. "Also they offer more 'specials' to attract renters, such as allowing larger-breed pets and free rent incentives."
Nationally, in the third quarter of 2011, the average rent was $994 a month, compared with the peak market rent of $997 in the third quarter of 2008, according to RealFacts, an apartment industry research and analysis firm.
Some five years ago, rental rates fell slightly as homebuying became more popular. Buyers were everywhere, Calabrese recalls. Although the interest rates are still at a record low, some renters have postponed the purchase of a house.
Calabrese says the homebuying market is not as much of a factor as in the past, since houses are staying on the market longer. Some potential buyers are sticking with apartments as it gets tougher to qualify for a mortgage. With fewer able to buy a home, Calabrese expects rents will continue to climb.
Officials at Home Properties Inc., which owns apartment communities, have observed that though interest rates are low, the prices of homes are still relatively high.
"It is still expensive for people to own a home and is difficult for many to qualify for mortgages," says Charis Warshof, vice president of investor relations at Home Properties. "Banks are more stringent in their lending practices now than in the days of the subprime mortgages."
With fewer tenants of Home Properties able to purchase a home, the company has the highest resident retention among the 12 publicly traded apartment real estate investment trusts, she says.
"When residents stay with us, it reduces the costs we would have when residents move out-e.g., painting, cleaning or replacing carpets and advertising for new residents," Warshof says.
According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, as a result of improved demand, low supply growth and cheap debt, the 2012 outlook for the apartment market is positive.
Affordability is the main focus right now, and depending on what a renter views as expensive rent, it will play a part in the homebuying decision, Calabrese says.
Landlords that have good relationships with tenants and work to meet their needs also will increase residents' satisfaction and desire to remain renters, Giuliano says.
"I recently rented an apartment to a former tenant who was delightfully surprised that we hadn't increased rents for the majority of our apartments," she says. "We are sensitive to the fact that people have a budget and want to reside in an apartment that is in good condition in a safe area."

It goes without saying that whichever team landed the nation's top recruit – one whose talent has drawn comparisons to a young LeBron James – would be lauded immediately as a national title contender.
It took until Tuesday afternoon to find out which school that would be: Kansas.
RELATED: Andrew Wiggins picks Kansas
Andrew Wiggins will go from being the American Family Insurance USA TODAY Sports Player of the Year to being go-to guy on the 2013-14 Jayhawks team, the star of an already highly touted incoming freshman class. Wiggins, a 6-8 forward from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep who scored 23.4 points and grabbed 11.2 rebounds per game this season, passed up a chance to be part of what's being hailed as the greatest recruiting class since the Fab Five, Kentucky's. Instead of being one star among two handfuls, he'll be the guy at Kansas.
"Obviously, everyone in Jayhawk-land is overwhelmed and excited today," Kansas coach Bill Self said in a statement. "This was a pleasant surprise because we never had an idea which way he was leading. Andrew did this the exact way he said he was going to. He played his cards very close to his vest as did his mother and father. I knew we were one of four. The competition was very stiff and we were fortunate that we were able to ink him today. He's a tremendous talent and a terrific kid. Probably an even better kid than he is a talent. We think he has a chance to be about as good a prospect as we've ever had."
"He brings athleticism, length, scoring ability and he's also an assassin, an alpha dog and we definitely need that when you have a whole bunch of young kids," Self said. "I think he's going to be not just a good player, but have the chance to be a great one. I know the people that support our program are going to be pleasantly surprised when they see him run and play the very first time he gets the opportunity."
PHOTOS: Andrew Wiggins in pictures
The Jayhawks will now have the No. 2 recruiting class in the country behind Kentucky, and the class will play early. The Jayhawks are losing all five starters from last year's Sweet 16 squad – most notably, redshirt freshman standout Ben McLemore, who averaged 15.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. McLemore's decision to go pro (he's projected to go as high as the No. 2 pick in June's NBA draft) plus the departure of seniors Jeff Withey, Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson leaves Kansas with a lot of holes to plug. Sophomores Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor and junior guard Naadir Tharpe are essentially the Jayhawks' only significant returnees, and the trio combined for just 13.4 points a game last year.
This means coach Bill Self must rely on his freshmen. Surrounding Wiggins with two other five-star recruits in center Joel Embiid and wing Wayne Selden and two top-50 prospects, guard Conner Frankamp and forward Brannen Greene could make the Jayhawks a strong contender for a 10th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title.
"We need to have a great recruiting class because we lost so many guys on a team that did pretty well this year," Self said.
ESPN.com recruiting analyst Paul Biancardi calls Wiggins the "exclamation point" of an already exceptional recruiting class.
PROFILE: USA TODAY Sports on Wiggins
"The void of McLemore leaving can create a nice presence for Wiggins," Biancardi said. "They were already a top 10-20 team by most pollsters. With Wiggins, they check in as a top five team, and it strengthens their chance for another Big 12 title. Kansas likes to explode off misses and steals, and he can help open things up for them."
Wiggins, who is projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA draft, chose Kansas over Kentucky, Florida State (his parents' alma mater) and North Carolina. He'll be about two hours away from his brother, Nick, who will be a senior at Wichita State this fall.

With PECO Smart Driver Rebates, PECO (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) will offer rebates and incentives for residential and business customers investing in new electric vehicle technology. Specifically:
- PECO will pay residential and business customers $50 per car just for letting us know they have purchased an electric vehicle. This will help us know where customers will be charging their cars so we can make sure our system is ready to meet any increased demand for electricity.
- For government, institutional and non-profit customers, PECO will pay $1,000 per unit toward the cost of installing up to two Level 2 public chargers, and will pay local counties up to $3,000 to install a Level 2 public charging station in each of the counties PECO serves.
As part of PECO's ongoing environmental efforts, locally it has partnered with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission on a study to understand what impact the increased use of electric vehicles will have on the region. PECO also recently added two Chevy Volts to its fleet and has partnered with the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI) to assist it in its ongoing study of electric vehicle use. These new green vehicles join more than 740 other hybrid, natural gas, flex fuel and biodiesel vehicles currently in PECO's fleet.

GDB XII: Stopping a snowball
Jason Gregor
October 27 2009 01:47PM
The Oilers will try to stop a two game losing streak versus North West opponents tonight, when the surprising Colorado Avalanche come to town.
The Avs are 8-1-2 this year, and 4-1-2 on the road and overall they are averaging 3.4 goals per game, and giving up only 2.2 The Avs are similar to the Oilers in that they have consistently been out shot.
Shots by Period:
1st period
2nd period
3rd period
|Avs' opposition
|Oil's opposition
The Oilers have been a bit better in shot differential the past few games, but they lost both of those.
Mike Comrie returns to the lineup tonight and here is how they practiced this morning.
Penner — Gagner — Hemsky
Comrie — Horcoff — O'Sullivan
Jacques — Brule — Nilsson
Moreau —Cogliano — Stortini
Gilbert — Grebeshkov
Smid — Visnovsky
Strudwick — Chorney
Fernando Pisani skated with the team for the first time in almost a month, but he needs a few more practices before he is ready. He could make his debut in Boston on Saturday or Long Island on Monday.
When they do activate him, they will probably put Souray on retroactive LTIR in order to have enough cap space to activate Pisani.
The suggestion that the Avs are coming back to earth is off-base at this point. They haven't lost a game in regulation since Oct 8th, and since then they have won six and lost in OT in Minnesota.
The Avs have beaten the Wings twice in the last week, and they also have wins over the Bruins and Sharks this season. Their special teams have been great so far.
They are 7th on the PP with 12 goals in 45 chances for 26.7%, and their PK is 6th at 84.3%, and they were a perfect 8-8 on the PK v. Detroit this past Saturday.
Craig Anderson has played in all eleven games for the Avs and his .936 SV % and 2.14 GGA are both in the top ten. The Oilers will have to get him moving side-to-side if they want to get some past him. He is a big guy who plays the angles very well, and they won't beat him from the outside.
Money management
Pat Quinn was 30 minutes late for his usual press conference this morning, and the reason was he and the coaching staff was meeting with management discussing what they will do with Pisani. Pisani might be ready Thursday, but it's more realistic we will see him Saturday, and I'm guessing the organization was discussing who comes out, but also how they can fit him in money-wise.
The death totals? Funny, nobody gets excited over the death totals of the regular flu which kills more than 10 times the amount of people that H1N1 ever has.
Quite true, but the super flu, which H1N1 is supposed to be, killed more people than died in WWI just after the war ended. Anyway,I doubt they test everyone who die of the flu to see which one killed them. In any case, I got the regular flu shot already, and get the other one. As for how many died of HINI, as it is not over the total is not complete. Still as a fatalist, whatever happens happens, just don't need to help it along.
I better get in then!

The death totals? Funny, nobody gets excited over the death totals of the regular flu which kills more than 10 times the amount of people that H1N1 ever has.
Because the flu is so passe. Everyone's had the flu at least once in their life. But as soon as you add swine, or bird, or Asian in front of it, then it becomes something new and scary! It's not like media outlets have anything to report anyway, since the economy is still in shambles, the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan have no end in sight, Obama has done absolutely nothing since he's been in office and he was somehow awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for doing said nothing, etc.
End smart talk for the day.

Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE

I hope some day to be able to look at the printed word and know what's in between the lines.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
IMO....your arguement is born out of disgust for Cruz and his contract comments and have very little to do with actual football

Back to the Land in Trampling
100 Years, 100 Towns: Celebrating Saskatchewan's
Centennial 1905 – 2005
Wilson, Peter. "Back to the Land in Trampling Lake." StarPhoenix, 16 August 2005, C5.
The "soddy" as they were ruefully called by the pioneers
who by necessity had to live in them, is Mike Jahner's personal
salute to his grandparents. The local farmer decided to construct
the structure on the site where his ancestors, who had originally
moved from Russia to North Dakota, put down permanent Prairie roots
back in 1905.
Building the "soddy" was the way Jahner chose on join
in the province's centennial while celebrating 100 years of
his own family's life in Saskatchewan. Constructing a sod
shack similar to what his grandparents lived in for eight years
during the 20th century's infancy was an ambition he'd
held for the past few years. Jahner's farmhouse stands on
the homestead his father once operated, and his farm includes the
original land for which his grandfather took out homesteading rights
back in 1905.
A history lover, Jahner is particularly passionate about local
history and his construction project was a way of expressing pride
in his ancestry, he says.
"It was quite a dream of mine for quite a while, and the
province's centennial provided me with the right amount of
encouragement to get things moving," he said, peering into
the dark interior of the shack and looking over the pioneer furnishings
he has on display.
Jahner began his historical construction project on the anniversary
date that his grandparents took out the deeds on their homestead
– June 8. While the march of time has removed virtually all
evidence of the original building, the impressions of the original
sod house are still visible as faded outlines near his new shack.
Cutting the tree branches from a nearby black poplar bluff, which
was probably the same copse his granddad used to cut his lumber,
Jahner, with the help of a few family members, began the job of
making supporting and framing timbers for the sod house. They carved
out of the prairie grass with a breaking plough and built windows
and a door out of old, savaged farm wood.
Individual sods measured an average of about two feet by one foot
with a thickness of about three inches. Each sod weighed in at about
40 kilograms, so Jahner was glad to accept the help of younger arms
when it came to installing the roof portion of the home.
With his wife, June, providing a continuing meal service, the small
work crew slowly brought this legacy of the past to life. With a
weekend family reunion planned for mid-July, construction of the
sod house took on some urgency. However, the project was completed
in time for the gathering, which brought together more than 180
people, some from as far away as Vancouver, Ontario and the United
Like many people living in the province's farming communities,
Jahner is no stranger to serving on the boards, councils and committees
that form in the backdrop to the sense of community inherent across
rural Saskatchewan. For his contributions over the past 50 years
to the town and district, it's a fitting tribute that the
unassuming farmer from Trampling Lake is being given the Saskatchewan
Centennial Medal from the province's lieutenant governor.
Jahner will receive the honour at a special ceremony in Saskatoon
in September.
"This land means a lot to me and this will probably be my
last year farming before I hand the reigns over to the younger folks.
I guess the sod project pays tribute our family's contribution
to settling the part of the country," he says.
The townsite for Trampling Lake was laid out in 1911 and in 1913
the CRP began this portion of the Redford subdivision from the Kerrobert
to Brass. The arrival of the rail spurred on the fledging community's
development and all the trappings of a growing town started to appear.
A Chinese laundry was established and a hardware store opened its
doors. Later, a flurry of elevator construction followed to handle
the rapidly expanding agricultural output of the district.
Lumber yards, a local electric plant, several grocery stores, cafes,
schools, a hotel and a rush of residential construction became a
reflection of a community on the move. Trampling Lake's population
would peak at around 240, and then began a slow decline like so
many other rural towns.
Now, with just 67 residents, Trampling Lake has certainly known
better days. Its school closed about five years ago and out of the
six once proud elevators that stood along the track, only a single
one remains.
A post office, Credit Union and a co-operative store are left to
serve the people of the town and area. One of the architectural
gems still functioning in town is St. Michael's Catholic Church,
an elegant monument to faith that is still very much alive.
Anne Bohn knows all about the part the church has played in the
town's history.
"I was baptized, christened and was married in this church,
so it's played an important role in my life over the years,"
says Bohn, as she walks through the ornate interior.
Built in 1922, the church is still a vibrant part of the district's
social and religious landscape. While the town no longer has a resident
priest, mass is till held every Saturday evening, the priest traveling
the 50 or so kilometers from Unity for the service. A large hall
in the church basement continues to serve as a gathering spot for
social functions, although it no longer brings Hollywood into the
lives of the town's residents.
"Through the `40s and `50s, we had movies shown in here every
Sunday night and it was a great social occasion for the entire town
and for local farmers," explains Bohn. "We didn't
have popcorn then, but there was more than enough sunflower seeds
flying threw the air when the lights were out," she laughs.
Along Main Street, Mike Jahner points at the old building that
once served as the town's pool hall. Closed now and in dire
need of a few coats of paint, the tired building holds many memories
for the soon to be retired farmer.
"I spent a lot of time here, probably more than I should
have, but they were good times," he says. "They'd
also run poker games up there and I'd watch my older brother
playing," he says, pointing up to the second storey. "They'd
play for money and put down a cloth on the card table to cut out
the sound the coins would make. That way visiting strangers wouldn't
know what was going on. They were good times, real good times,"
Jahner smiles.
