No kidding?" Coble replied, appearing genuinely surprised. He's been around," Bost said. Coble visited Rockwell and other locations in Rowan and Cabarrus counties Wednesday as part of an informal tour of the district. Ed McDonald, Coble's chief of staff, was included in the entourage that accompanied the congressman. Also in the group was Fred Steen, a member of the N.C. House from Landis, and Terri Welch, who staffs Coble's Rowan County office. "People want to see him, to know that he's interested in them and their problems," McDonald said, explaining the reason for Coble's visit.

Elgin, other suburbs, make a commitment to bike paths

3:02 AM, Aug. 25, 2008 .. 0 comments .. Link
The intent is to make the whole city bike accessible," said John Loete, public works director for Elgin, which opened the bike lane earlier this month. "Ideally, what you'd be able to do is ride on a bike lane out of your neighborhood . . . and catch a bike path that runs all the way down to St. Municipalities throughout the Chicago area that are worried about rising gas prices, traffic and the environment also are getting serious about biking. In Naperville, one of the first suburbs to develop a bike plan, 50 miles out of a proposed 115 miles of routes have been finished. A new critical mass is being reached with suburban communities looking at bicycle and pedestrian planning," said Rob Sadowsky, executive director of the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, a non-profit advocacy group. Chicago developed its first comprehensive bike plan in 1992. Maybe it's a model for other cities in the country, certainly a model for other municipalities in the Chicago area," said Ben Gomberg, coord...

Bolt is the first man ever to break the world marks in both sprints at an Olympics. TORONTO - A.J. Whether the surging right-hander can help the Toronto Blue Jays in a meaningful way remains open to debate. NEW HAVEN, Conn. The former No. 1 player in the world is trying to round into form before next week's U.S. TORONTO - Maurice Edu is headed for greener pastures with Glasgow Rangers. But the U.S. When Despatie pumped his fist in joy after his final dive Tuesday at the National Aquatics Centre he wasn't just celebrating his second career Olympic silver medal. He was given the handle because he's known for doing all kinds of crazy, over-the-top tricks on the trampoline in training. When the sport made its Olympic debut then, Whitfield was able to wing it and win a wild free-for-all. But the strategy of triathlon racing has changed, and Canada seems to be on the cutting edge. Tampa Bay won an important victory over the league-leading Los Angeles Angels on Monday, but the talk o...

NFC East 2008 Preview

3:00 AM, Aug. 25, 2008 .. 0 comments .. Link
Tony Romo se la ride, Dallas è la squadra più forte della Nfc. I Cowboys, incapaci di fare strada nei playoffs nonostante ottimi records di stagione regolare, non possono che essere al primo posto nelle previsioni pre-campionato, l’attacco ha una grande varietà di opzioni ed è difficilmente contenibile, la difesa deve migliorare nei momenti cruciali ma è attrezzata con diverso personale di spessore, e di sicuro sa come mettere pressione sul quarterback avversario. I Giants, che si sono liberati di Jeremy Shockey, dovrebbero godere di una considerazione particolare ma non è così, in quanto le ingenti perdite in offseason (soprattutto in difesa) lasciano troppi punti irrisolti sul fatto che la squadra che ha travolto tutti in trasferta possa sul serio ripetersi. I Redskins hanno rinunciato al tradizionale spreco di scelte e denaro per affrontare un mercato più quieto, animato dalla sola trade per Jason Taylor, ed hanno aggiunto centimetri e chili ad un attacco molto monotono, che dovrà ...
