Donnelly's TV ads misstate the facts
Well, the Democrats have once again reached into their moth-eaten pile of worn-out and over-used platitudes in their attempt to frighten seniors into voting for them. We seniors must be considered pretty dumb because they repeat the same falsehoods every election cycle and expect us to believe them.
Their campaign ads never change, just nasty accusations toward their opponents, nothing on their track record and always using the same scare tactics over and over: "Those bad Republicans are going to take away your Social Security and Medicare." Hmm.
If there had been a contest this year, there is no doubt that Joe Donnelly would have taken first place for running the most blatant, fictional-based, prevaricating, delusional and downright offensive TV ads ever. Ever. Talk about bending the truth, Joe fractured it. Apparently Donnelly never read the healthcare bill where it absolutely and unequivocally transfers $716 billion dollars from seniors funded Medicare account into Obama's unfunded Medicaid accounts for his social programs.
Folks, that's nearly a trillion dollars. So enough of listening to all this nonsense about how Richard Mourdock's going to mess with your Medicare — because Obama and Donnelly have already stripped it bare and Mourdock is just trying to save it. Are you going to allow make-believe campaign ads to impress you or do you want to know the real facts? You see, facts are persistent little buggers. You may deny them or avoid them, but you can't really change them or they wouldn't be facts.
So do a little research, and you'll find out pretty quick who is messing with Medicare. Obamacare is being financed in great part with our Medicare funds. Joe Donnelly voted for Obamacare knowing it would reduce the availability of Medicare services to seniors and then has the nerve to go on TV and claim that Mourdock is going to take away our Medicare. Donnelly is the real threat to Medicare, Mourdock is the real solution to saving it.
This is the truth — these are the facts. Now you got that? Good.

Homeowners let down by commissioners over Cobblestone
The Vigo County Commissioners (VCCs) have not only let down the residents of Woodgate, but all the voters of Vigo County when they prematurely lifted the stop-work order against Cobblestone Crossings.
When the Norm Froderman "conflict of interest" admission was revealed, the VCCs moved swiftly to issue a stop-work order. It was readily apparent that the entire Cobblestone Planned Unit Development zoning was now illegal. So why did the VCCs lift the stop-work order before the development and master plan went back before the Area Planning Commission (APC)?
The Vigo County Ordinance is clear, if buildings are being built incorrectly and not in conformance with the current approved zoning, they shall be ordered to be torn down by the authority of the APC. Why didn't the APC and the VCCs follow their own laws here? If a homeowner decided to tear down their single-family residence and construct multi-family apartment buildings, the APC would move swiftly to issue a stop-work order and enforce the ordinance to have them torn down — what is the difference here? Why is the county turning a blind eye?
Once again it appears that the laws of Vigo County only apply to some people. What other conclusion can be drawn? It appears that some sort of back-door deal was made in this situation. Were the VCCs worried that Cobblestone was going to sue them? Remember that the VCCs and the APC have unlimited "free" attorney representation (funded by taxpayers), so why were they so worried about the developer suing them? Many months ago the Woodgate homeowners were told by the VCCs that if they didn't agree with the situation to hire their own attorney and take it to court.
With the elections coming up in about a month, everyone should think about this and how the taxpayers and voters of this county were treated by the people we elected to stand up for us. If you vote for Paul Mason, Judy Anderson, or Mike Ciolli, I hope you don't have an empty lot or field next to your house. Because you never know, a member of the APC may have a financial stake in the property and get the zoning breezed through illegally and you too may have apartment buildings constructed some 25 feet from your property line. And the VCCs will once again turn a blind eye and allow it to happen.

Romney deserves chance to lead
Don Rogers' recent letter to the editor is biased. His denigration of Ronald Reagan, our last truly great president, illuminates his warped mind set. The money saved on defense spending post-Cold War more than compensates for his spending during his presidency. We actually got value for the dollars spent. He outsmarted the Russkies in a way no one has since. When he left office, Americans felt good about our country and our future.
Despite all the political rhetoric, the question Americans need to ask, will our country be more secure and prosperous if we elect Obama or Romney? Obama told Russian leader Medvedev, tell Vladimir (Putin), we can deal after I get re-elected. Has anyone in the media seriously explored what kind of "deal" to which Obama is alluding? We are in the process of reducing our arsenal to 1,550 nukes (START III agreement with the Russians), which experts in the defense department suggest going lower will not allow us to both defend the American homeland and respond to our enemy's missile launch sites, if we reduce nukes to a lower level.
Regarding the economy, Obama spent billions of dollars to jump start the economy. After 3.5 years, jobs have been created, but we are floundering despite the greatest monetary stimulation ever.
In 1920s, the U.S. had the most steep downturn in our history. My grandfather lost everything and it destroyed him and his family. However, within 18 months, a boom bubble in the 1920s was ignited due to excess credit, thus, setting us up for the Great Depression. Are we heading for another Great Depression?
The current events are personal for me. Because of family history, we have been a lifelong saver, avoiding debt like the plague. I am nearing retirement. Unfortunately, my savings are being inflated away. Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve chairman, has given us QE 1, QE2, QE3 and many of trillions of dollars created off the record to prop up the big banks around the world; a money creation scheme of unparalleled proportion in U.S. history. The German Weimar Republic tried something similar in the 1920s. How did that go for them? Hyperinflation and Adolph Hitler as leader. The German middle-class savings and retirement funds were decimated. Whenever shopping with my wife and she complains about rising prices, I speak out loudly. "Blame Bernanke". He is destroying the value of the dollar.
If elected, Romney has said he will fire Ben Bernanke. Obama does not even know the amount of the federal deficit, based on his response on the Letterman show. Obama's policies will over the next four years close at least 68 coal-fired electricity generating power plants, including the one north of Terre Haute.
Expect your electric bills to rise and increased risk of power failures. Romney wants development of our natural resources; coal, natural gas and offshore oil to create jobs and wealth. Obama talks of creating jobs, while destroying jobs in the energy industry.
I am not sure Romney can bring us back from the brink. However, he has a track record of turning failing enterprises around. America, we blew it in 2008 by not getting Romney nominated and elected. Will we drive the final nail into America's coffin by re-electing Obama. Or will we give Romney a chance?

Obama promotes more entitlements
During the 1992 presidential campaign, James Carville, adviser to Bill Clinton, admonished, "It's the economy, stupid." But in the age of Obama, is it really the economy? During three and a half years of Obama's presidency we have suffered through a record number of months of unemployment over 8 percent, we are locked into the longest recession since the 1930's, and we have added $6 trillion to the $16 trillion national debt.
However, despite Obama's clear record of economic failure, a recent New York Times poll says voters see Obama as the candidate most likely to restore the economy and create jobs. How can this be? Could it be that Obama supporters are not thinking of the economy in terms of growing the job market, increasing GDP, and balancing the national budget. If not these, what?
We might find a clue to this enigma in the aftermath of Obama's victory in 2008. The "poster child" for Obama's current campaign could be the woman who was captured on television ecstatically celebrating Obama's presidential victory, "Now that Mr. Obama is president I won't have to worry about paying my rent, or making my car payment, or buying food. Mr. Obama will take care of me." When the reporter asked her where Mr. Obama gets his money, the lady hesitated, then responded, "He's got a stash." For her and a large number of the hard-core Obama supporters, "the economy" seems to mean what they receive from Obama's "stash."
Obama has effectively enlarged the number of those who are dependent on his "stash" through his success in increasing the number of people on unemployment and other welfare programs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in January 2009 when Obama was sworn in, there were 2.6 million people unemployed for more than six months. By June 2012, three years after the recession had officially ended, the number had more than doubled to 5.3 million people unemployed for more than six months.
Obama's strategy for increasing the number of those on welfare is in evidence when he recently directed that those on welfare no longer need to seek work. His effort to create dependency rather than jobs is also seen in his policy of extending and re-extending unemployment benefits. Many academic studies show how unemployment benefits undermine the urgency of finding a job, and, thus, provide a broader base of citizens beholden to Obama for redistributing his "stash." Obama realizes that he doesn't have to increase jobs in order to get votes, he merely needs to create more voters who are increasingly dependent on his "stash" and to generate fear among those voters that his opponent will try to take away the "stash."
Obama's "Hope and Change" has turned out be a mission of "Divisiveness, Fear, and Envy," and his record of increasing unemployment and his vision of America peopled by a growing cadre of Obama beholden welfare recipients, suggest a more appropriate slogan for his current campaign would be, "It's the entitlements, stupid."

Poll stories show real media bias
Apparently I missed the election this year. According to the headline on Monday's front page of the Tribune-Star, President Obama is near the magic 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
According to my calendar, the election is 36 days away. Whatever happened to newspapers reporting the news without bias? I guess all we need to do now is conduct polls to elect our leaders.
It would be nice if you could at least report that most of these polls are weighted with 10-13 percent more Democrats. Does that sounds like a fair sample? The media bias is real and it is ridiculous.

CHICKASHA — I'm not going to hide the fact I am a huge soccer fanatic.
So before I explain why one of the newest soccer teams in the nation is a perfect example of what Oklahoma is all about, I just wanted to give full disclosure. I've seen it change lives for the better in both young and old, and the sport has a special place in my heart.
But, there's no doubting that Oklahoma's newest sports team, Oklahoma City FC, is the one team everyone in this state should support. The team is brand new, playing their first season in what's known as the Premier Development League. Their division includes teams from Laredo, Austin, Houston and West Texas.
And while people from Oklahoma do enjoy getting one over their southern rivals, this team deserves love for a different reason. They are not your typical professionals.
Many players at this level have other jobs. They keep shop, work in restaurants, teach or coach. Some of them even study as they continue toward a path to professionalism.
They are the working men (and women, since the same team is also represented in the ladies' professional league) of America. They live day-by-day, just like you; working toward a paycheck while not giving up on that American dream.
These athletes do not flaunt their wealth in the media with flashy cars or homes, because they don't have any wealth. They get by with your basic car, cable, food, phone, and boots (or cleats for those not attune to soccer lingo).
But, they don't give up. Playing in the PDL is certainly a step up from many players in the country, but it's no where close to being true professional. It's there so they can strive for greatness even when the big whigs of Major League Soccer and the slightly smaller whigs of United Soccer Leagues have turned away for the moment.

When Religious Freedom Clashes with Access to Care
An op-ed by I. Glenn Cohen, Holly Fernandez Lynch, and Gregory D. Curfman.
At the tail end of this year's Supreme Court term, religious freedom came into sharp conflict with the government's interest in providing affordable access to health care. In a consolidated opinion in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Burwell (collectively known as Hobby Lobby) delivered on June 30, the Court sided with religious freedom, highlighting the limitations of our employment-based health insurance system.Continue Reading at New England Journal of Medicine »

Homer City, which upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's cross-state air pollution rule…Laurence Tribe: In a year in which the high court weighed in on presidential appointment power, public unions, abortion and religious freedom, many observers will say that the court is reshaping our politics and culture with sweeping pronouncements that inject it squarely into the most salient, controversial issues of the day…Martha Minow: Free speech and religious expression win; equality does less well; growing reliance on communications technologies and on government to address environmental harms informs the law; corporations and employers gain power relative to employees; tensions between branches continue, amid bold assertions of humility…Mark Tushnet: …The court is constructing what in fancy terms we can call an ideology or philosophy of constitutional law. And, the current court's philosophy is, broadly speaking, conservative, skeptical of expansive exercises of government power in the domestic arena, tending in a mildly libertarian direction.Continue Reading at Politico »
Denial of coverage
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that closely held, for-profit corporations have a right to exercise the religious beliefs of their owners and therefore cannot be required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to provide contraception coverage to employees if it conflicts with those views.

MASSENA Two recent projects at the town hall came in well under budget, even after more than $80,000 of extra work was added to one of them.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said the recent repaving of the town halls parking lot was expected to cost $168,000, but the work was completed for $125,353.26, approximately $42,650 under budget.
Recent renovations to the town hall, including repairs to the buildings front steps and facade, came in approximately $70,000 under budget.
Mr. Gray said that project was expected to cost $335,000, but the work ended up costing only $269,168.32.
At the boards most recent meeting, the Town Council approved $81,247.32 in additional work that Mr. Gray said would not have a negative impact on the projects finances. Those items included the addition of hand railings on the repaired steps, $1,380; the addition of weather repellent on the upper stone facade on the parking lot side, $11,668.30, and the repointing of the foundations stonemasonry on the alley side, $28,409.81.
Three other additions were an expansion joint, backer board, repairs to the bricks and installation of a sealant on the alley side, $7,266.98; repairs to windows in the attic and stripping of paint, $10,436.85, and repairs to the buildings chimney for $22,084.38.

White Smoke from leaking injectors
I just purchased a 2005 Suburban with 5.3L. I've noticed on occasion I get white smoke and strong fuel smell at startup at tail pipe. Usually worse after shut off for about 2-4 hrs. Not as bad after sitting overnight or days. Also, after initial puff of smoke, I get a very steady consistent white smoke (looks like vapor) until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. I get lots of water from the tail pipe until it reaches normal temp. No coolant loss or sweet smell of antifreeze. Could this be a leaky fuel injector? I haven't checked fuel pressure yet...I thought I'd ask on the forum to get a feel if anyone else experience this. By the way, fuel economy is okay...about 16 mpg, power is great. I thought the puff of smoke could be leaky valve seals, but the smoke is white (not blueish).
One final note....when engine starts...I hear a slapping sound for a split second, on occasion. I'm thinking flooded cylinder due to leaking injector. What do you guys think?
I can afford mechanic...I have to do the repairs myself. I'd like to have a well informed approach rather than replacing this, replacing that! Any feed back is welcome! Thanks!
I have an 05 yukon xl with the 5.3l. I do notice that there is occasionally white smoke also. I usually notice mine after it is warm and I back into my garage. It dissipates very quickly. I had an 03 yukon xl 5.3l that did the exact same thing. I always chalked it up to moisture in the exhaust system. Both of my yukons and my cousins 04 seam to drip tons of water out of the exhaust. I would think that if your injector was leaking that badly it would not have a good spray pattern and would cause a misfire or a rough idle. While I have seen leaking injectors cause white smoke, it was one time and the vehicle had well over 300,000 miles on it. Multiple times I have seen black smoke from a injector that was leaking severely, causing the truck to run rich.

Check the fuel pressure regulator located in the rail drivers side. Pull the vacuum line off and start the engine. Look for fuel leaking from the port on the regulator,either while running or shortly after shut off. If it is leaking it can flood raw fuel into the intake.
White smoke is usually water vapour. This is normal when the engine is cold, it is just condensation in the exhaust pipes.
If the white smoke continues after the exhaust is warm/hot then there is a coolant leak into one, or more, cylinders.
A leaking injector should cause a hard start followed by a dark gray to black smoke for a few seconds.
The noise you are hearing is called piston slap. Again, normal. It should go away as the block heats up.Ray

As a nation, we have come to expect nothing but the highest-quality customer service from all our service providers. With such high expectations, it's inevitable that nearly every small business owner will have to deal with customer complaints in their day-to-day business life. Most complaints come when you least expect them, so it's important that you and your employees are prepared and empowered to respond in an attentive and professional manner. Sounds like basic common business sense, doesn't it? However, it is all too...

As summer heats up, that great American tradition - the concession stand - comes into its element. From roadside lots to sporting events, national parks to beaches, festivals to fairs, we simply can't get enough lemonade, hot dogs, ice cream and more. And this is good news for entrepreneurs. Starting and operating a food concession business offers many entrepreneurs a relatively low cost entry way into business ownership. It also offers a great deal of flexibility; concession owners are afforded the independence to work where and when...

Financial support provides the leg-up that many small businesses need to start-up and expand. But if you are a non-profit business owner, getting the financial support you need to operate is even more fundamental than that - it is your bread and butter. As with most money management, the process of raising funds to support the philanthropic efforts of your non-profit requires some diversification. If you are strategic in your fund raising efforts you will have ongoing funding (like a for-profit has run-rate business) and you will also have...

Whatever stage you are in with your business, one thing is certain - you will always need reliable and helpful advice. This is perhaps even truer during these recessionary times when many business decisions are burdened by an element of risk. What might surprise you is that the government has its pulse on your needs in this regard - and wants to help. Where do you go for Business Advice? It's highly doubtful that any small business owner relies on a single source for business advice. No matter how much you love your spouse, lawyer,...

One of the significant trends that has emerged as a result of the current economic recession is that home-based businesses are on the rise. Not only is home-based business ownership often perceived as a rosy option for laid off or disaffected workers, but for many established small business owners, the move home is becoming more attractive. With falling profits and continued overheads such as rent and utilities, more and more existing business owners are closing the doors on their brick-and-mortar places of business and setting up shop at...

Aside from questions about loans, grants and generally getting started in small business, one of the most commonly asked questions on the Small Business Administration (SBA) Web site is 'How do I get a business license?' The answer, posted here, loosely points small business owners to their state or local government. And while your local jurisdiction is often the source of business licenses and permits, the federal government also oversees the licensing of federally regulated small businesses. It's a confusing arena, and even the...

More and more Americans suffering from disabilities are going into business for themselves. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Census, people with disabilities are almost twice as likely as non-disabled individuals to start a business (SmallBusinessNotes.com); almost 15 percent of working disabled people are self-employed compared to under 10 percent of non-disabled working people. For many Americans with disabilities, self-employment and home-based businesses in particular offer empowerment, control, and the flexibility to succeed...

On May 21, a White House blog entry saw the launch of the 'Open Government Initiative' - which echoes and makes real the pledge made by President Obama to make the Federal government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. The main thrust of the initiative, according to the White House, is to allow for 'an unprecedented process of public engagement in policy making ... with the government soliciting comments and input on draft recommendations, as well as seeking ideas from citizens early in the recommendation creation process.'...

The trending in workplace sexual harassment cases reported to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has steadily declined in the past decade, with women in-particular filing fewer complaints. Despite this encouraging fact, the impact on a small business should it face a sexual harassment lawsuit can be devastating - both to its finances and its reputation. No matter how many employees you have, as a business owner you need to understand and comply with sexual harassment laws - for your sake and for the sake of a professional...

As globalization drives students, workers, and entrepreneurs to havens of opportunity and prosperity, the old saying about the United States being a 'melting pot', or 'salad bowl', or even 'mosaic of diversity', still stands true, despite the current economic slump.

Forty-two Emmaus High School students are scheduled to give blood on Wednesday as part of an emergency blood drive that will happen in the large courtyard at the high school from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This week's blood drive, run by the high school Student Government Association (SGA) in conjunction with Miller-Keystone Blood Center, is "student-only," according to Michael Mihalik, EHS science teacher and SGA adviser.
"It's just a student emergency blood drive," Mihalik writes in an email message to Emmaus Patch. "We're not having a full-blown blood drive like we usually have, as we'll wait on that for May.
"On Wednesday, we only have 42 available slots and they have all been filled in by current students," he writes.
Miller-Keystone Blood Center is the sole provider of blood to hospitals in the Lehigh Valley. According to the Miller-Keystone website, there is a shortage of all blood types right now, including platelets.

Cody Delmendo For the Daily Union
Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Former Shelbyville resident Austin Rincker was one of 10 soybean farmer participants in the nation to be selected to go on the Soy Checkoff "See For Yourself" program.
University of Illinois graduate and now a resident of Moweaqua, Rincker was the only farmer selected out of the state of Illinois to take part in the program.
The program is a weeklong educational experience that helps soybean farmers learn more about their check off and industry.
Rincker along with nine other participants that were selected spent time in St. Louis, Mo., and in the countries of Colombia and Panama from July 18-26.
Some educational aspects that the participants learned were how their domestic and international customers beyond the elevator use soy meal and oil.
They saw their check off funds in action by visiting a number of sites that represent their biggest customers, including animal agriculture, which uses nearly 98 percent of U.S. soy meal, and the food industry, which uses two-thirds of U.S. soy oil.
Participants also visited sites that demonstrated the importance of farmers' freedom to operate.
Rincker said that he was extremely humbled to take part in the program and felt he was a "part of an amazing group of farmers across the United States."
In regards to what he learned, he said it gave him the opportunity to gain a firsthand view of check off programs.
"The United Soybean Board allocates check off dollars to the areas of production technology, finding new uses for soy, and marketing. For every dollar the check off invests in research approximately six dollars is returned to the farmer. What we saw was just the tip of ice berg in the scope of programs that the check off is involved with to increase the value of U.S soy." Rincker said.
Rincker said one of his favorite parts of the trip was touring a trout farm and processing facility on Lake Tota, Colombia.
"The lake is at an elevation of over 10,000 feet so the temperature stays very moderate year round. The temperature was 50 degrees on the day of our visit. I never thought I would be cold in July!" Rincker said.
A close second favorite was a quick trip to the Panama Canal.
"We had some travel delays and made it to the canal a day late and arrived in the evening. We missed our tour, but we were still able to view a few ships going through the canal. The size of the canal and the ships that pass through it is simply astounding. The canal is vital shipping lane for U.S farmers and was outstanding to see in person," Rincker said.
Rincker said that Colombia was easily his favorite country to visit.
"Along our many stops it was always fun to talk to local farmers and industry representatives. They enjoyed talking to U.S farmers and putting a face to the product that they buy.
Colombians have a resounding acceptance for U.S Soy.
Rincker said that the experience definitely made him a better at what he does in agriculture production.
"It has helped me grow as a leader and allowed me to learn more about the United Soybean Board and how it administers Checkoff dollars. This was a once in a life time opportunity and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of the program," Rincker said.

Once again Crestwood Power of the Pen students proved their power by winning nine awards and an honorable mention on Saturday at the District Tournament held at James A. Garfield Middle School. Placing first, above fifty-five other 7th graders competing from nine other schools, our very own Amelia Wysong also earned a Best of Round Award and a Best of Round Honorable Mention.
Scoring the highest possible rank points for all three rounds of writing, 8th grader Katie Fosnight won first place and two of the three possible Best of Round Awards. The entire 8th grade team took first place among nine other schools from Summit and Portage counties. Sara Miller continued Crestwood's triumph by placing second. Competing against sixty other 8th graders, Zoe Catcott placed fourth and Lillian Bissell placed ninth.
Crestwood students continued to shine throughout the entire day as many of our alternates volunteered to help our host school who was in need of extra student "runners" thus playing an important role by assisting judges.
Congratulations again to all of our traveling team members for their wonderful contributions to Crestwood's success.

There are times Jason Jaffrays hand finds itself to the scar in his throat, to the place where, in a mid-April operation, a surgeon worked to fuse damaged discs in his neck.
Nothing I worry about. Just a reminder of everything Ive gone through to get to this point, said the St. Johns IceCaps centre, set to play his first game of the 2012-13 American Hockey League season tonight at Mile One Centre against the Portland Pirates.
It will actually be Jaffrays first game since late March, when, in a road game against the Admirals in Norfolk, a crunching hit from rugged defenceman Radko Gudas led to the injuries that necessitated the spinal fusion the following month.

"Doesn't work"
I used this stuff on my dogs and they still have fleas, now I'll have to put out more money for something else.
"5 dogs 17 years later"
this product was formerly sold as Defend Best tick control ever, use the horse product also Need to use as a preventative for fleas-I use it 12 months a year instead of waiting for an outbreak
"Did not work"
Bought this on reccomendation of a friend, applied, 2 days ago and still have lots of live fleas, no differnce, sad, now what to use.........did not kill one flea as yet.....
I found freedom 45 and put it on my black lab that stays out side and for the longest time I didn't see anything on him. Will defiantly get more.
"Dogs Rule"
Have been using this for over 5 years on 4 dogs! It has worked great! I do switch every month with the Liberty 50! I think it makes them more effective if they are changed up every month!!
"Works great for me"
I have 6 dogs. So a cost effective method of flea and tick control was a must. Fleas are horrible down here. Knock on wood I have been using this product for over 6 months. Only 1 tick see and a flea here and there. I'm very impressed!!!
"not effective"
Did not work against fleas, not even a week, don't even know how much it did first couple of days. Not buying again
Terrible!! Treated my 2 dogs last week and they still have fleas. Waste of money..
"Useless product"
Made my pet comfortable for about 3 days....but the fleas are just getting worse cause the product didn't work...at all!!!!
"love it"
I have 2 yorkies both 5 & 6 pounds, we use this product every month after they have a bath, works all month. reapply every month.
It worked ok for a few days after I applied it. It worked better immediately following a bath. My dog stayed flea free for only about 3-4 days after use, after that the fleas came back. I will be looking for a new flea product.
I've used two doses within two weeks and my golden still has fleas. First time I used this brand and don't recommend this product.
"product not working"
Unfortunately, it is not just this product that is not working this year on fleas. Frontline and Advantage (which I have used both) are also not working against fleas. Fleas are becoming immune to these products which have been used for the past 20 years. I am going back to natural products and trying to take the fleas out of the environment to prevent infestation. It has been a challenge this year!!
Have used product in the past and it worked. Unfortunately, I used the product this fall and it did not work even though I redosed. I now have a major flea infestation and a dog how never had a flea is suffering. Can't help but wonder if the product was reformulated or changed. I used the XLarge How do you reach this copany. Bet the product is madein China.
"Flea Bag"
I have been using the Freedom 45 on my dog for around 6 months. I have just noticed he has fleas. Very disappointed. I thought it was working. I do not advise use

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) today issued Entergy Corp. an early site permit for the Grand Gulf nuclear power plant site in western Mississippi. Following is a statement from Frank L. (Skip) Bowman, the Nuclear Energy Institute's president and chief executive officer.
"The issuance of the early site permit for Grand Gulf is a significant achievement for Entergy and the nuclear energy industry. This is the second siting permit granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in a month's time, and just the second ever. The permit could pave the way for the eventual construction and operation of a new nuclear power plant capable of cleanly and reliably supplying large amounts of electricity to meet growing energy needs.
"NEI congratulates Entergy for its pioneering spirit, expertise and dedicated focus in this process. Entergy is at the forefront of companies paving the way for new nuclear power plants that will provide emission-free electricity for decades to come. We also commend the NRC for its thoroughness in completing this complex process and in establishing a baseline to approve future applications expeditiously.
"The early site permit certifies that the Grand Gulf site is environmentally appropriate for a new reactor and fulfills a requirement of the broader construction and operating license application that NuStart, a consortium of 12 nuclear companies that includes Entergy, is expected to submit to the NRC by the end of this year.
"America faces significant challenges in meeting the burgeoning growth in electricity demand in a manner that protects our air quality and environment in the coming decades. In the face of these challenges, nuclear energy must continue to be a vital part of our electricity portfolio. Nuclear power plants are a safe and secure source of electricity that help keep the air clean."
The Nuclear Energy Institute is the nuclear energy industry's policy organization. This news release and additional information about nuclear energy are available on NEI's Internet site at http://www.nei.org.

A 22-year-old man dressed in black, wearing a mask and carrying an umbrella in such a way that it resembled a Samarui sword prompted a scare in Ridgefield that led to a lockdown at area schools and a search involving many law enforcement agencies, according to Ridgefield Police.
Wilfredo M. Seda, 22, of 46 Portland Avenue, Redding, was arrested and charged with breach of peace as a result of the incident, which began at 8 a.m. Monday with a call from a Ridgefield resident about a suspicious man walking nearby.
The initial report alerted police to a man dressed all in black and carrying what appeared to be a rifle in the area of Portland Avenue and Ethan Allan Highway. Ridgefield police said that they, with the help of other police agencies, quickly secured the area and launched a search.
The effort included police dogs and led to Branchville School being locked down and children redirected to another school as a precaution. Other Ridgefield schools were also put on lockdown.
When Seda was located, police said, he was wearing all black clothing, a watch cap and a face mask looking like a beard. Seda did not have a weapon, but police said the umbrella worn across his back had the outward appearance of a sword.
As the incident came in the wake of Friday's deadly shooting at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School, the incident not only led to lockdowns at schools in Ridgefield but at schools in nearby districts in Connecticut and New York. By about 11:30 a.m., the lockdown in Ridgefield had been lifted.
Seda is scheduled to answer the charge against him on Jan. 3, 2013 in Danbury Superior Court.

Oct. 15, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- EJ Manuel didn't have to grow up in the state to understand the importance of the yearly battle between rivals Florida State and Miami.
Whether they were competing for national titles or just 364 days of coveted bragging rights, it didn't matter. Manuel, a native of Virginia Beach, Va., just wanted to be part of the pageantry and tradition of one of college football's greatest rivalries -- even if at the time it was in the virtual world.
"Playing video games as a kid you always want to be in that game," Manuel said Monday at his weekly press conference. "Then when you're actually in it at Doak Campbell or at their stadium it's kind of a dream come true. Those kind of games you grew up wanting to be a part of."
All grown up and leading the No. 10/12 Seminoles (6-1, 3-1 ACC) into his second game as a starter against the Hurricanes (4-3, 3-1) Saturday at 8 p.m. at Sun Life Stadium, Manuel remembers what his real-life taste of the rivalry was like in 2008 when he watched from the sidelines as a redshirt freshman.
Manuel watched as his predecessor, Christian Ponder, did Christian Ponder-like things to the Hurricanes, throwing for 159 yards and a score and adding a career-high 144 yards rushing in a 41-39 'Noles' victory in a steady South Florida rain.
And while he was impressed by what Ponder did, it was what was going on around the players that Manuel remembers most vividly.
"I just remember that atmosphere," Manuel said. "I am not from here so I didn't really know how it was until I was actually in it. I just remember the atmosphere being crazy."
And FSU-Miami games are typically crazy close.
In 56 games dating back to 1951, the Hurricanes own a narrow 31-25 all-time advantage while FSU has scored a combined 1,168 points in those games compared to Miami's 1,146. Of the last 11 contests in the series, 10 have finished as one-score ballgames.
It may be cliche but it's true: Throw out the records and throw out the expectations in this annual in-state showdown.
"That's one of the big games you're here at Florida State for," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said Monday. "That's always one of the great rivalries in college football. A lot of history, a lot of tradition. It means a lot to us, I know that. That's one you have to be aware of. It's a battle and it's a lot of history in it, tradition in it.
"It means a lot to the people here; it means a lot to the players that played here and it's always a great game."
More important than any other reason behind Florida State's loss at NC State was the subpar play of the offensive line.
Manuel didn't have time to throw the football because the defense was constantly in his face, pressuring him and not allowing the pass plays to develop. It was the second such game that FSU struggled in that regard as the Seminoles allowed a combined 19 tackles for loss and six sacks in games against USF and the Wolfpack.
Last weekend, that wasn't an issue. With Menelik Watson back in the lineup at right tackle after missing the NC State game with flu-like symptoms, FSU allowed just two tackles for loss and one sack in a 51-7 dismantling of Boston College.
"They moved [the Eagles] around a little bit," Fisher said. "They did a nice job. We moved E.J. around a little bit. But the two flanks held up. Cameron [Erving] played a really good game and getting Menelik [Watson] back in there makes a big difference as far as some of the power and size that he brings."
Erving, Watson and the three other starters all graded out with scores of at least 82 percent afterwards -- the highest among the starting five all season.
The improved play up front helped Manuel throw for a career-high 439 yards with four touchdowns -- an outing that earned him ACC Offensive Back of the Week honors Monday morning.
"Those guys did a good job," Manuel said. "They stopped all the blitzes [Boston College] brought. I don't think any missed or blown coverages as far as our protection. I think guys focused in during the week and they were able to do it well Saturday."
The ACC announced Monday that Florida State's Oct. 27 homecoming game against Duke will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and will air live on ESPNU.

What is RegEx all about?
Regular Expressions - also known as "RegEx" - are strings of text used to match patterns in other strings. The classic example is a search string that uses "wild cards" such as an "*" or "?" (which are also used in "regular" regular expressions). VB.NET has great support for RegEx but if you're looking for information about how to use it in VB 6, About Visual Basic has that too. Just follow this link!
To get the basic idea behind RegEx, open a "Search" in Windows Explorer to look for a file on your computer. Enter "*.ico" into the "All or part of the file name" text box (the "word or phrase" text box doesn't support wild card characters). You should get a list of hundreds of "icon" files if you search your whole computer. The "*" wild card will "match" any file name and the ".ico" will "match" icon files that end in just those characters.
For another explanation, check out the "Regular Expressions" cartoon at XKCD: A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.)
RegEx is exactly the same idea, but the idea has been developed to allow just about any kind of text searching you can imagine to be done. Andrew Watt wrote an 800 page book (reviewed by About.Com here) that he called, Beginning Regular Expressions. I wonder how many pages it it would take to write the "Advanced" version.
The big problem with RegEx's is that they are sort of a "write-only" language. A RegEx that does something meaningful, (such as this example to match patterns for US telephone numbers (credit to author Jesse Sweetland) ...
... can be hard for anyone to figure out how it works after it's written. Don't be fooled because this is just one line of code. It might take even an experienced programmer quite a while to craft something like this. (I'll use this RegEx in some VB code in a few paragraphs.)
For this reason, there are a lot of utilities that you can download that help you figure out what a regex is doing. Some examples:
- RegexBuddy from JGsoft
- RegexDesigner .NET from Chris Sells
Historical Sidetrack ...
A lot of people (myself included) get confused right away because we don't even understand why these things are called 'regular expressions'. Just to clear this out of the way so we can get to the important stuff, the term was first used by the American mathematician Stephen Kleene. For him, it was a branch of mathematics and he figured out math rules that make it work. For programmers, it's just a name, so call them "widgets" or "thingies" if it will help you understand better.
But if you want to get geek points for knowing obscure stuff, the '*' character that we usually call a "wildcard" is sometimes called a Kleene star in academic circles and - here's a good one - Kleene pronounced his last name klay'nee. His son, Ken Kleene, wrote: "As far as I am aware this pronunciation is incorrect in all known languages. I believe that this novel pronunciation was invented by my father." Dr. "Clay Knee" must have been a geek of the first water, to be sure!
On the next page, we dig into how to use RegEx in your VB.NET code!

CLAYTON — Clayton coach Denny Medlin's explanation for why his team beat Wilmington Hoggard on Friday was simple and direct.
"Gary Clark," he said, "then some Gary Clark and then a lot more Gary Clark."
The junior scored 35 points – including the final six points of the game in overtime – to lead the Comets past the visiting Vikings 59-54 and into the fourth round of the 4A state playoffs.
"There's a reason he's an ACC player," Hoggard coach Brett Queen said. "There's a reason Clemson and Wake Forest are looking at him. He's very good. He's very hard to stop."
The Vikings controlled the beginning of the game, jumping out to an 11-8 lead after the first quarter.
Hoggard built its lead by getting the ball inside to Trevor Singleton. Singleton had his way early and scored eight in the first quarter, but picked up a foul. Early in the second quarter, he picked up his second foul and was forced to the bench for the majority of the quarter. Two of the Viking's starting guards also picked up two early fouls and had to go to the bench as well.
"Basically, our starting backcourt was out for most of the second quarter," Queen said. "So we had some kids in there who hadn't been in those situations before, and it hurt us. Singleton being out hurts us too. We were in foul trouble and (Clayton) wasn't."
Clark took over in Singleton's absence. The junior big man had 12 at the break as the Comets (28-2) roared into the locker room with a 23-15 lead.
Singleton reestablished himself in the third quarter, but Clark continued to score as well. Both teams scored 14 points in the third – Clark had 11 – as Clayton maintained its 8-point lead headed into the fourth.
Singleton tied the score at 45 with 49 seconds left. On the ensuing possession, Clark answered with a bucket to put the Comets back in front, but Singleton came right back and scored off an offensive rebound to tie the game at 47. Clayton missed a shot at the buzzer.
Joe O'Donnell was big in the extra period for the Vikings, scoring all seven of their points, but Clark again was too much. The Comets fed him the ball on nearly every possession and he continued to get fouled. In overtime, he was automatic from the free throw line.
Clark made his final eight foul shots – after being 3-for-10 from the line to start the game – to seal the win.

Known as the "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark never fails to tell a good story. This is one of her older books, but is nonetheless just as entertaining, if not more, as her newer ones.
Remember Me's general plot is centered on Menley Nichols who is suffering post-traumatic stress disorder from the death of her son a year ago. Her husband, her, and their new baby travel to Cape Cod to help the family relax. Menley's symptoms seem to other to be getting worse, she is hearing her dead son call to her and people hear her crying when she is not. She denies the allegations and blames them on the mystery of the house. The mystery of the house involves a sea captain, his wife, and her assumed lover; this subplot helps weave an interesting history of Cape Cod into the book. There is also a mystery of a drowned newlywed and if her death was accidental or caused by her husband. The plots are artfully interwoven and all come back to a woman with Alzheimer's. Though there are a lot of plots and plot twists, the book is engaging and easy to follow. Even if it does not leave you guessing whodunit, it will leave you guessing as to why and how!

Update (July 12 at 11:36 a.m.):
- State police said a forensics team is analyzing the animal bodies found Monday in Rye.
- Police have not named Bronx veterinarian Andrew Manesis, who has been charged in the Harrison animal dumping incident, as a suspect in this case. State police are working with Westchester County Police and analyzing any similarities between the two incidents.
- State police could not comment on whether or not they have been in contact with Manesis during their most recent investigation.
Original Story:
Dead animals stuffed in black garbage bags have been discovered near the side of a Westchester highway for the second time in a little more than three months, state police said.
Thruway Authority workers led police to the gruesome scene after smelling something out of the ordinary near the I-287 entrance ramp from I-95 in Rye. The bodies, most likely dogs and cats, were in three or four black garbage bags and were so decomposed that only bones and fur remained, police said. The level of decomposition made it impossible to tell exactly how many animals were in the bags.
Police discovered the remains behind a cement barricade at about 2:15 p.m. Monday, said state police investigator Joseph Bererra.
"It looked like they just pulled over on the shoulder and threw it over a cement barrier," said Bererra. "It was just thrown right over it."
The discovery is similar to a case in Harrison this April, when 34 dead dogs and cats and a domestic lizard on the side of an entrance ramp to the Hutchinson River Parkway. The animals were found in 25 different trash bags that investigators believe were for an extended amount of time.
Bronx veterinarian Andrew Manesis was and charged with dumping the animals in Harrison. Investigators believe he accepted money to dispose of the animals after they died at Throgs Neck Animal Hospital in the Bronx, but instead drove to Westchester and dumped the animals on the side of the highway.
Manesis still faces misdemeanor charges of scheme to defraud in the second-degree, violation of environmental conservation law and two counts of petit larceny.
State police are looking into whether the latest incident is connected to the Harrison incident. New York State police, who are handling the investigation, have reached out to the SPCA and Westchester County Police who handled the Harrison case.
The bags found in Rye Monday were probably hidden behind the barricade for more than a year, Bererra said. Because of the level of decomposition, it will be difficult to determine exactly how long ago the animals were dumped there.
"There's a lot of hot weather, so that's going to speed up the rate of decomposition," said Bererra. "So at this time we don't know if it happened at the same time (as the Harrison incident).
The bodies found Monday are being stored as evidence at this time, police said. Bererra said it hasn't been determined if necropsies, animal autopsies, will be performed.

BOISE-- When defensive end Joe O'Brien graduated from Boise State, he was a Big Sky player of the year and Division I-AA All American. After a stint in the NFL, he turned to coaching, and rose to assistant at Montana State. But after that, things went all wrong. O'brien was arrested and sentenced to four years in prison for his role in a drug ring.
O'Brien was back in Boise on Friday to make an appearance at a book signing. His book, titled Busted Bronco, tells the story of his drug caused fall from fame, and how he managed to get his life back on track. It is a story that he felt he had to tell so that other people can learn from his mistakes.
"Just because my problem is my problem, everybody has demons in their closet, and everybody has to deal with them a certain way." O'Brien said. "I just feel like I'm open and honest about mine, and I just feel like if somebody reads it, it will help them."
Some of those in attendance at the book signing were O'Brien's former BSU teammates. O'Brien currently lives in Great Falls, Montana, and works as a motivational speaker.

Every now and again, we catch word of Rock the Vote supporters doing awesome work in their own communities, and it's no surprise! With a network of so many incredible young activists, it's hard to keep track of all the lives you guys are changing. Really, you make us proud (and you also make us look good when we say things like "young people are changing the world").
So when we heard about Moriah Six, we knew we had to share. Moriah is a Rock the Vote Community Street Team leader and a student at Johnson & Wales University. She is raising money to pay hospital bills for Gwendelyn, a toddler fighting childhood cancer. And how is she doing that? Well, we'll let her tell you herself.
1. So Moriah, how did you first get involved with Rock the Vote?
I am an Entertainment Event Management major and was looking for ways to get involved with events while helping out a great cause. Since I interned for Headcount I also was introduced to Rock The Vote. I took a look at the great volunteer opportunities and decided to get involved. I volunteered at multiple events over the summer(Warped Tour, The Killers etc). And plan on continuing to volunteer.
2. How are you planning to support Gwendelyn and her family?
Gwennie is a 20 month old who is fighting childhood cancer. She was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in April 2013. She is stage 3 and at High Risk. Gwennie is currently undergoing chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, surgery, radiation and immunotherapy. She travels to Robert Wood Johnson and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for her treatments.
I am organizing a benefit concert here in Asbury Park, NJ, and all ticket proceeds from this concert event will go directly to the Marra family. As Gwendelyn fights the cancer she is continuously supported by her family and friends. All ticket proceeds will be going directly to the Marra Family.
3. What are some words of inspiration that you would share with Rock the Vote supporters?
I have known the Marra family for many years and have babysat for the family. Gwennie is the youngest and has maintained that bright smile throughout all of her treatment. Since her chance of infection is so high Gwennie looks forward to "hanging out" with her brother and sister via Skype. We are looking forward to the day that she will be cancer free so she can play with her siblings and friends like a normal little kid.
Moriah can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Here are the details for the benefit concert. If you live in or near NJ, please support Moriah and Gwendelyn!
