True Day Dream and Jim Meittinis captured Saturday night's $35,383 division of the Tompkins-Geers trot for 3-year old trotting fillies at Tioga Downs. Leaving from post position number four in a field of eight, Meittinis settled True Day Dream in second as he relinquished the lead to the favored Andie Sophia (Cat Manzi) by the quarter in 28.1. Andie Sophia who was coming off of her Hudson Trot victory then led the field through fractions of 57.4 and 1:26.4 with her main contender sitting on Manzi's helmet. As the field headed into the stretch, Meittinis moved True Day Dream to the outside and battled Andie Sophia through the stretch to get up and win by a length and a half in 1:56. Dan O'Mara trains the 3-year old daughter of Infinitif - Tenacious Victory for owner Joseph Hess of New Milford, NJ. Andie Sophia (Cat Manzi) finished second, while Silver Credit (Jim Marohn Jr.) finished third. The other division winner for the 3-year old trotting fillies was Southwind Cocoa (Jeff Gregory) in 1:57.2, after the 2-5 betting favorite Classic Martine made a break just past the quarter. Classic Martine (Jim Marohn Jr.) did rebound after dropping to last to close and finished second. In the $62,766 lone division for 3-year old trotting colts, Pine Credit received an extremely patient drive from Brandon Simpson and it paid off. Simpson sat in with Pine Credit fifth as the field was led through fractions of 28.4 and 58.3 by Crazy About Pat (Cat Manzi). As the field passed by three quarters in 1:27.3, Simpson found room to his right and slid Pine Credit to the outside. The duo began tracking horses three wide around the final turn and as they entered the stretch he was picking up ground on the leader Crazy About Pat with every stride. Pine Credit got up to win in the final strides over Crazy About Pat by a neck in 1:56.4, for his first seasonal victory of the year for trainer Erv Miller. Erv Miller shares ownership of the 3-year old son of Credit Winner - Ms Piggy Pine with Harvey Eisman and Paymaq Racing. Sunday afternoon wraps up the Grand Circuit Tompkins-Geers stakes for 2013. A dozen sophomore pacing colts are split into two sixes, each for a prize of $31,833 in races one and five. The opener is an even field with Don't Ya Know a slight choice off of his win in the Historic stakes here last month. He has followed that one up with two more wins in overnights at Yonkers. Bluestone Farms, Kitty Hawk Stable and Val D'Or Farms share ownership of the Western Ideal colt from Caviart Vegas, Joe Holloway trains and David Miller drives. The second division fave is Kenny Jacobs good Art Major colt Doctor Butch. He won the Art Rooney last month and has been on the board in every one of his 18 career outings while bringing home more than a half million dollars. Linda Toscano trains this fella and Jim Morrill, Jr has the drive. Eleven filly pacers made for an owner-friendly split of five and six in the stake. JK Black Beauty (Bettor's Delight) headlines the first division in race three. She is another Toscano trainee, this one for the 3 Brothers Stable, who's been lightly raced but very successful. JK Black Beauty captured the Lismore stake last month on her way to over $80,000 in seasonal earnings. The second filly division is race eight with the six pack racing for a purse of $29,883. Shebestingin is (Bettor's Delight) the most accomplished of the group with over $160,000 earned this year on the strength of five wins in nine outings. She took her personal speed record at Tioga in a NYSS event last month and is paired with her regular driver, Dave Miller, for this engagement. Joe Holloway trains her for Val D'Or, Ted Gewertz and L & L Devisser. Kenny Jacobs' fan favorite and track record holder Heston Blue Chip makes a local appearence in the Open pace on Sunday afternoon as well. The fun starts at 1:30. by Dustin Ross

Report cards - you gotta love 'em. They keep parents informed about how well our children are doing in school. They also let us know the areas in which our children may need help.
And good report cards are a sign that our schools are indeed teaching our children what they need to know in their journey to adulthood.
A story on today's front page tells us about local results for the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which requires states to provide information on schools' and districts' progress toward proficiency by 2014.
A Campbellsville man accused of raping and sodomizing a 13-year-old girl has violated the terms of his diversion and will spend two years in prison.
David Michael Lowe, 20, of 401 Lula Ave. appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Allan Bertram on Tuesday, Aug. 5.
In May 2006, Lowe pleaded guilty to 12 counts of first-degree wanton endangerment. He originally faced 12 counts of second-degree rape. Eight counts of second-degree sodomy were dismissed as part of his plea agreement.
I'll admit, I was a little worried. The cell phone call came at 4:30 Friday afternoon. A robotic voice told me of a problem with my Taylor County Bank card and that I should call back to sort out the problem.
I didn't think much about that first call. After all, I don't have a Taylor County Bank card. Still, stories of identity theft began circling around my brain. The thought of someone taking advantage of my limited financial resources for their own gain has been a long held fear of mine.
A Campbellsville man has been indicted on charges alleging he assaulted and threatened another person.
Brad D. Shofner, 27, of 106 1/2 W. Walnut St. was indicted Tuesday by a Taylor County grand jury.
Shofner was charged with first-degree burglary, second- and fourth-degree assault, third-degree terroristic threatening, violating an emergency protective order and being a second-degree persistent felony offender.
The 2008 No Child Left Behind data has left behind some mixed results. Some scores are up at local schools, but several have been pegged as not meeting goals.
Campbellsville High School missed two goals - black students and free and reduced lunch students in math. Taylor County Middle School missed one goal - reading by students with disabilities. Taylor County High School missed three math goals - all students, white/non-Hispanic students and free and reduced lunch students. As a District, Taylor County missed one goal - reading with disabilities.

Vice-chairman David Gill on Friday admitted his organisation were set to bid for the semi-finals and final of the tournament, which will be played in 12 different countries.
And Bernstein, who is this summer set to leave the FA, has affirmed the governing body's desire to welcome a major competition having painfully missed out on the 2018 World Cup.
Wembley will on Saturday evening host the UEFA Champions League final for the second time in three years and Bernstein is confident it is another opportunity to showcase the country.
Speaking from Wembley, Bernstein told Sky Sports: "We have got wonderful facilities here.
"I believe our World Cup bid, technically, was the best of the whole lot. We did not get it for other reasons.
"But, of course, we can hold a tournament here. We will be bidding for part of the 2020 European Championship. I know that for sure.
"So the quicker we get something here [the better]. The public wants it, the FA wants it, I want it.
"It is something I believe we deserve. It is a long time since we last had a World Cup here."

Aromatics Move Lower in U.S. and Europe
2:13 PM MDT | September 14, 2011 | Lindsey Bewley
Aromatics on either side of the Atlantic moved in synch, with all spot markets reported lower except for mixed xylenes. They were said to hold steady as some good demand numbers were coming from isomer markets downstream. Spot benzene on the U.S. Gulf was lower by 20 cts/gal, players say, while toluene was off by 25 cts/gal. Styrene held to just a decline of 2 cts/lb. In Europe, benzene was said to have skidded $55/m.t. while toluene lost $40/m.t. Styrene also fell, losing $45/m.t. Methyl tert-butyl ether continued its volatility, skidding...

ERWIN — Oscar has reason to be happy.
Soon, he'll make the long voyage to the Great White North. On Wednesday, Oscar took in some of the last glimpses of a place he has called home for the past several weeks.
It won't be long before the dachshund mix finds his way to an animal rescue in Canada. Oscar represents one of the more recent success stories at the Unicoi County Animal Shelter, and similar stories have become more common at the shelter as of late.
The shelter is coming off its most successful year for animal adoption since it opened its doors in early 2008. From July 2008 to December 2009, 84 cats and 208 dogs were adopted from the shelter. From July 2009 to December 2010, the shelter adopted out 81 cats and 209 dogs.
However, from July 2010 to December 2011, the shelter saw a significant increase in the number of cats and dogs adopted, which includes those sent to animal rescues. During that time period, 162 cats and 345 dogs found new homes.
Shelter Director Angie Rose, who took over as director in April, said the shelter's recent success can likely be attributed to several things. One, she said, is giving potential pet adopters more opportunities to stop in and see the animals.
"I think part of it is we're open more hours now," she said. "When I first started, we were open 23 hours, but now we're open 29 hours a week. I'd like to get it open even more."
Rose also gives credit to folks who volunteer at the shelter on the weekends and to volunteers who travel to the Johnson City PetSmart for weekend pet adoptions there. This has been particularly effective in getting cats adopted, she said.
"They get a lot of adult cats adopted out there that would not even get looked at twice here," Rose said.
December marked the first time the shelter adopted out more cats than it euthanized, Rose said.
Like other shelters, Rose said the Unicoi County Animal Shelter takes advantage of available technology. A photography crew is brought in to take pictures of adoptable pets and these pictures, and sometimes videos, are quickly posted on Petfinder.com. Rose said she answers several emails daily about animals displayed on the site.
Spaying and neutering programs through the Unicoi County Humane Society have been helpful in reducing the number of unwanted animals in the county, Rose said. She also praised the efforts of shelter employee Angela Bennett, who Rose said works extensively with animal rescue organizations.
"She works really hard to get a lot of these guys rescued that wouldn't be finding a home here," Rose said.
Euthanasia numbers are also down at the shelter. The shelter saw a 6 percent decrease in the number of dogs euthanized from the July 2009 to December 2010 time frame to the July 2010 to December 2011 period. During those time periods, the shelter realized a 34 percent decrease in the number of cats put down. Still, Rose said she wants these number improved upon.
"I want to see it improve," Rose said. "I would love to be a no-kill shelter. I mean, I think having to euthanize one animal is too many."
The shelter is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 1-5 p.m., Thursday from 1-6 p.m., and on Saturday from 1-4 p.m. The shelter is closed on Sunday.

According to a study done at Emory University by Dr. Drew Westen and a team of psychologists, Democrat and Republican voters are equally skilled at manipulating information in their mind to support the candidate of their choice. Of course most of us already know that. What we may not be aware of is that our minds are actually wired to encourage deceiving ourselves. It will even reward us if we succeed in doing so.
After the subjects had made up their minds, brain activity ceased in the areas that deal with negative emotions, such as disgust, and the activity in areas that involve reward sharply increased, a response that Westen said was similar to an addict getting a fix. There were no increases in the part of the brain that controlled reasoning,
Both Republicans and Democrats came to biased conclusions by discounting facts which rationally could not be ignored according to Weston and his associates. After they came to their conclusions, those areas of the brain that dealt with negative emotions went dormant. However, the brain was highly active in the parts that dealt with rewards. The pattern was very similar to what an addict would register after he got a "fix."
I think we all would like to believe that we are basically honest. At least we would like others to think that of us. We usually get along further in life if we can convince others they can trust us. But scientific evidence seems to indicate we lie and believe our lies much more than we care to acknowledge especially about many things that are important to us like our political and religious views.
Have you ever been in a political or religious discussion with someone and felt you were talking to a brick wall? Every fact you presented to support your view was either conveniently ignored or twisted by your opponent in such a way to support his/her view and negate yours.
The emotional driven parts of our brain striving for security seem to be more engaged during "rationalizing" sessions than the rational/logical parts. After this process is repeated a number of times, our mind become "hard wired," so to speak, to manipulate information to line up with the little castle of beliefs in our minds that makes us feel secure and comfortable. For the sake of convenience and comfort, we become wired to believe the lie. Usually it takes something catastrophic in our lives to break down the walls of lies which have been built in our minds before the hard truth sees the light of day in our minds.
Some points we can take from this study:
*Knowing an individual's predisposition towards any particular view proved to be a perfect predictor of their ultimate decision 84 per cent of the time. In other words, their minds were already made up and no amount of facts was going to change it. Furthermore, their minds would actually manipulate the information that is contradictory to what they already believe in such a way that it conforms to their preconceived beliefs after they are finished processing it.
*Most of us will not change unless forced through a major crisis. It is usually not information that will do it.
*The way of hypocrisy and lying appears to be a natural part of our decision making.
Tragically for us, those who are power hungry know how to manipulate our minds for an easy slaughter. A Catholic evangelist to the East in the sixteen century said, "Give me the children until they are seven and anyone can have them after that." Those who control the political, social, educational, religious, entertainment and economic institutions and systems of any country know that the "programming" must begin early. Leading institutional businesses aim their ads at little children knowing if they can inject into their minds the right images and associated feelings, they will have a loyal consumer for life.
The average American or Westerner actually believes they are free. That, perhaps, is the greatest of lies. As Francis Xavier said, give me the children to the age of seven and anyone can have them after that. By the time a child is seven in the United States of American, through all the input from the institutions mentioned above, that child is already comfortable with the thought of killing a complete stranger in another land to protect our "national interests" abroad. G.I. Joe dolls, movies and television, holidays to celebrate those who died for country, etc. have already programmed that future little G.I. Joe Smith to lay down his very life for a flag or piece of land or a philosophy of life that does NOT line up with the "kingdom of God and its righteousness.
One day the world will look at what the Western world, especially America, Britain and Israel have done in the name of "Judeo-Christian Ethics" and be shocked at the mountains of evil the world suffered under this abominable mixture of carnality. I'm sure right now many Western readers will have their heckles up due to the programming they have been subject to their whole life. Those not as much under the influence of Western propaganda (third world countries without TV's and internet) will easily acknowledge what I am saying is true. If the world is going to experience any semblance of peace, we must push into this matter, this "gray" matter which causes so much of the violence in this world.
Many things can be learned about ourselves and humans in general. However, I want to leave the reader with one important lesson. The Scriptures say in John 2:23-25:
Jesus knew that we are all self-deceived liars and that the truth does not abide in any of us, regardless of how honest we think we are. The lies of this world extend far beyond our understanding of honesty and integrity. He knew that the father of lies had poisoned all the sons of Adam.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a 'man's enemies will be those of his/her own household' He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of me. And he who does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. (S)He who finds his/her life will lose it, and (s)he who loses his/her life for My sake will find it." (Matt. 10:32-39)
Jesus knew that our hearts and minds were filled with lies – lies which were contrary to the truth. Jesus is the embodiment of Truth. In Him is no lie. Jesus did not "commit Himself to them" because He would then be committed to their lies. In order for one to be truly set free from the thousands of lies we eat every day in this world, one must completely surrender and commit one's life to the Truth, which is embodied in the Person of Jesus Christ.
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon." (Matt. 6:24) We prefer translations which use the word "Mammon" because it is not quite clear what Mammon is. The Twentieth Century New Testament and the Knox translation has the word "money." Jesus said it was harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than it is for a camel (or rope) to pass through the eye of a needle. (Matt. 19:23)
Ouch! There are many places in the Bible we just gloss over rather than allow the verse to convict us because our minds are uncomfortable with change. We are more comfortable in our lies. Understand, dear reader, most of those lies we are now comfortable with were not our own to begin with – we inherited them from our families and culture. We have even been programmed to kill other people who do not buy into the lies of our own societies. Christians have been killing other Christians for many centuries because we have swallowed the lies of various countries and their rules of allegiance. It is beyond the scope of this article to detail the many thousands of lies we have swallowed poured into us by our parents and institutions. Suffice it to say, it is impossible for an individual to set themselves free from the lies that make up the societies and institutions of this world. Only Jesus Christ, the embodiment of the Truth of the Kingdom of God can begin to unravel the mess. This requires absolute truth and faith in Him as the Way, the Truth and the Life. It requires absolute abandonment of everything we have been taught to believe in that come from the cultures in which we have been raised.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. – Winston Churchill
"While reasoning about apparent contradictions for their own candidate, partisans showed activations throughout the orbital frontal cortex, indicating emotional processing and presumably emotion regulation strategies. There also were activations in areas of the brain associated with the experience of unpleasant emotions, the processing of emotion and conflict, and judgments of forgiveness and moral accountability.
"Notably absent were any increases in activation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain most associated with reasoning (as well as conscious efforts to suppress emotion). The finding suggests that the emotion-driven processes that lead to biased judgments likely occur outside of awareness, and are distinct from normal reasoning processes when emotion is not so heavily engaged, says Dr. Westen.
"The investigators hypothesize that emotionally biased reasoning leads to the "stamping in" or reinforcement of a defensive belief, associating the participant's "revisionist" account of the data with positive emotion or relief and elimination of distress. "The result is that partisan beliefs are calcified, and the person can learn very little from new data," says Dr. Westen.

Training your doberman is essential to a good relationship with your dog (and your neighbors). For some people going to a dog training class is just not practical or has limited effectiveness. In order to be successful at doberman training, it's essential that you understand natural dog behaviour. Two of the best resources that I have found for training a doberman and that I often recommend to any dog owner are, leerburg.com and Caesar Milan.
Leerburg has articles with lots of training information and a great forum. Check it out especially if you're having dominance or behavioural problems.
Then there's Caesar Milan, better known as the Dog Whisperer. He has a popular series on the National Geographic Channel that should be watched by every dog owner. If you've never seen his show, I really recommend you buy the series DVD or look for them at your local library.
Either of these are a great resource for common issues such as doberman aggression or shyness.

When a disaster strikes, the American Red Cross is on the scene providing food, drink, shelter and other things that are needed to help those who have been impacted.
The Red Cross workers providing for physical needs is a common sight. But there is a group of workers who are not as visible but their service is invaluable in helping people begin to recover.
They are the Red Cross workers who help people cope mentally with the crisis they are going through, said Nanci Conley,the agencys Executive Director of the Cross Coastal South Carolina Chapter.
When fire destroyed a large portion of the 700 block of Front Street Sept. 25, the Red Cross spang into action. The team meeting physical needs was very visible.
We had professional crisis counselors at the fire. They walked around and talked with the first responders, the residents, the business owners and others, Conley said.
The counselors were there to assist anyone who was having difficulty coping with the tragedy.
We were told by someone there was a resident who was just sitting in his car looking catatonic. A counselor talked to him and brought him around, Conley said as an example. The counselors dealt with a variety of emotional needs.
And the counseling is ongoing, not just the day of a tragedy. Thats because the mental toll a devastating event, in many cases, does not hit for days, weeks and maybe even months later.
Conley said when the Windsor Green fire occurred in Carolina Forest, one of the fires victims thought she was OK but weeks later when she realized something that had belonged to her grandmother had been destroyed, she broke down. Red Cross counselors helped that woman.
Conley said Red Cross counselors follow up with those in need on a routine basis.
Its not just a situation where you go to an appointment and sit and talk. We follow up with phone calls making sure the people are OK, Conley said.
She said the Red Cross provides short term counseling and if it is determined the person needs additional assistance more than 60 days after a tragedy, references are made for long-term assistance.
The mental health counselors are behind the scenes, low key people, Conley said. When they were on the scene of a plane crash in Conway earlier this year, most people did not know they were there, she added.
We do a lot of listening, she said. We have five trained counselors in are area. We are always looking to recruit more.
To become a licensed social worker, a person must undergo the Red Cross mental health training.
We need volunteers desperately, Conley said. The help is needed in all areas, not just with the mental health counseling.
Anyone who would like to become a Red Cross volunteer is invited to attend an orientation session that will take place at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4 at the Red Cross headquarters on Screven Street in Georgetown.
If we had more people trained, we could respond so much faster, Conley said.
She said if a group of five or more would like to take the orientation class, she and her staff will hold the meeting where it is convenient for the group.
To schedule a session or to find out more, call the Red Cross at 477-0020.

The Biblical Definition Of a Nation
Any group of people who have a common Lineage, who speak a distinct Language,
who have common Laws (written or oral) and who live in a prescribed area of Land,
are a Nation in the sight of God. This definition of a Nation is
derived from the biblical account of the nation of Israel. Israel
became a Nation after the development of an extensive Lineage
(descendants of Abraham), a distinct Language (Hebrew), a set of Laws
(Mosaic) and finally entered the Land (Promised to Abraham by God).
Listed below are some Bibleless Nations. There are at least 3000
Bibleless nations in the world who number over 380 million people. Many
more have a small part of the Bible, but most Bibles are poorly
translated and contain doctrinal error. Please choose one of these nations for your church to adopt for prayer. Pray for them, as a
church, until they have missionaries who translate, at least, a New
Testament in their language and plant New Testament Baptist churches
among them. Please let us know which Bibleless Nation your church
chooses so that duplication of effort can be avoided. We will note your
choice on this page. Please send us the name of the Bibleless Nation you choose.
Unreached, Bibleless Nations

STARKVILLE, Miss.--An experienced Ohio conductor and educator is the new head of Mississippi State's music department.
Barry E. Kopetz began his administrative duties at the university Aug. 1. He formerly was a music professor at Capital University in Bexley, a suburb of Columbus.
Prior to joining CU in 2001, he served for 10 years as a music professor at the University of Utah and five years as assistant director of bands at the University of Minnesota. He also has held teaching positions at South Carolina and Ohio public schools, and at Bowling Green State University.
Kopetz succeeds longtime department head Michael Brown, who now is teaching the department's music appreciation classes fulltime. A university employee since 2000, Brown also conducts the MSU Philharmonia and Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra, and is music director and manager of the Starkville Symphony Association.
Kopetz is an active composer, arranger and published author who received a doctorate in music education, with distinction, from Indiana University. He also holds bachelor's and master's degrees in music education from Ohio State University, as well as a certificate from the New York University School of Business.
"Dr. Kopetz has had a distinguished record of accomplishment in the field of music and possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in the administrative realm," said Richard Blackbourn, dean of MSU's College of Education, in making the announcement.
In welcoming the new administrator, Blackbourn noted that Kopetz's "work at a variety of universities has been characterized by a measurable record of success coupled with high degree of collaboration."
Kopetz is a member of the National Band and College Band Directors National associations, Music Educators National Conference, and the Pi Kappa Lambda, Phi Beta Mu, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Kappa Kappa Psi honor societies. In 1998, he was selected for membership in the prestigious American Bandmasters Association.
Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, the MSU music department currently offers a bachelor's degree in music education, with specific majors in instrumental music, vocal music, piano and guitar, and a bachelor of arts in music. Developing quality music educators for Mississippi and the Southeast region, and providing an advanced study of music in the liberal arts tradition are its primary missions.
With more than 100 concerts, recitals and other programs held annually, the department also regularly contributes to the cultural atmosphere of Starkville and the Golden Triangle region.

I should note in passing that Kevin's distinction between reductio ad absurdum arguments and arguments by analogy is very important, as these two are frequently conflated – particularly by those invoking Godwin's Law.

Wow! This takes me back to those exciting days. Working for Tom West, I designed the instruction set and managed the Microkids that wrote the microcode in the Eagle (MV/8000). Before that, I wrote the microcode in the Eclipse line. I had followed Ed de Castro, Henry Burqhardt, and Leo Gossel from Digital Equipment Corporation in 1969, after building a board test system for the PDP-11. Thank you for keeping this history alive.

This was a nice campground, comfortably remote (no highway noise), quiet, and very family friendly. The pond is clean and enjoyable to swim in and we love that boats (paddle, canoes and row boats) are included at no charge. The pools are nice too. There are many seasonal sites and most are in good condition. The park is very hilly but that's good. The shop is clean and well stocked and the owners are very nice. The only negative is that the roads are aged and the gravel on the sites is dispersed to the point that it's difficult to differentiate between grass and gravel areas. This is a minor issue and we will definitely return! - ExcitedExperiencedCamper

Very nice park for families in travel trailer or small fifth wheel but would definitely discourage big rigs. Arrived at dusk due to inadequate signage. No interstates signs yet but were told they have been ordered. We were led to our space by a staff member via golf cart over a very narrow ridge road around the edge of a nice pond and then up a very steep hill. Another guy showed up in a golf cart but was no help at all. Just the opposite; shining lights in our faces and darting all around as we were trying to park. There are many permanent travel trailer homes here but they appear to be well kept. They are making more camping spots in this beautifully wooded park but have several low cut tree stumps that can easily be missed in mirrors when pulling or backing that could cause significant damage to vehicles. Overall, nice, very quiet place a few miles from town with friendly, helpful staff. Great camping store with necessities and souvenirs. - Foretraveler
May 2013 - $82.00
This a nice park. Restrooms were very clean and there seemed to be a lot of family friendly activities available. It was also quite quiet after 10:00 pm. The cable television worked well. I would just mention to anyone with a long trailer, to be aware that there are some very tight turns. There are also several big dips in the roadway and a longer trailer is going to drag. The park is rated as "Big Rig Friendly" and I would have to disagree with that. We were given what was described as a "premium pull-through" and we had about 5 feet from our trailer to the road. We could not put the awning out or use the fire ring. We were disappointed; especially after paying $82 per night. - rbturner

This place use to be a KOA until 2003. I'm not sure if the owner or KOA decided to take the name off. Right off of U.S. 71. Narrow entrance road. Restrooms need a serious cleaning or two. 3/4 of the campground is seasonal. Sites were narrow or they could have a tree in the way so your awning would not extend. We stayed the weekend. They were not busy at all so you might be able to pick a respectable site. The playground is an insurance agent's nightmare. If you wanted to tent camp and fish the two ponds, this is the place. - coorslight
I've been here three weeks. Nothing special. People come and go at all hours. There is a pond with fishing. The grounds are kept well. Great place to stay right off 71 between Columbus and Cleveland. Lots of overnighters just passing through. - Motorhome Madness

The park itself is fine. The grounds are neat and there is a playground for the kids, as well as fishing in the lake. But there is no running water anywhere in the park except at faucet at the back of the headquarters. There are no showers or flush toilets. The bird observatory is a joke. The feeders haven't been filled for along time. The toilets are all vault toilets and the buildings they are in are not the cleanest. We won't stay here again. - SteveCampsTx

This is a very small State Park. It's very quiet and that's nice when you want to enjoy nature. And that's all you have here is nature, but don't get me wrong we like it. They have nice walking trails that meander around the small lake. I'm not sure kids would find this park very exciting there is no swimming, but I did see basketball courts and a very small playground. You can fish in the lake so that's nice for kids. So, it's not a park with tons to do, but the beauty makes up for that. - RVBuckeye

CHURUBUSCO — Two friends put their heads together to offer a local experience built off of what they both love in life — music.
Nate Norris, of Churubusco, and Nicholas Weaver, of Fort Wayne, have attended several music festivals and have a growing appreciation for local talent.
"We had seen so many festivals become overrated and saturated with sponsorships," Weaver said. "We thought it would be good to have a festival that wasn't about the hype, but about the music. We also wanted a stage to showcase independent talent."
With that sentiment, the pair of friends launched Pinestock Music Festival three years ago.
Weaver has a long career in managing bands, and the festival is held on Norris's land in Churubusco.
"We work as a team," Weaver said. "I take care of the talent and the music, Nate does the rest. We both really enjoy the experience."
The Pinestock Music Festival, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 7 starting at noon, takes place in the middle of a 20-acre pine tree farm in a small Churubusco.

Reps. Mary Bono Mack, R-Calif., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.,introduced industry-friendly cybersecurity legislation on Tuesday that mirrors a bill championed by Republicans in the Senate.
The proposals are a response to White House-backed cybersecurity legislation that Republicans say relies too heavily on government regulation.
"The Bono Mack-Blackburn legislation is a good step forward in the right direction because it puts the private sector in the driver's seat, instead of relying on overly prescriptive government mandates that hamper growth and weaken response capabilities," Blackburn said. "Incentive-based security works better than heavy-handed mandates."
The bill would help companies and the government share information with each other; provides liability protection for companies that seek to secure their networks; and increase criminal penalties for cybercrime.
In February leaders of several Senate committees introduced the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which has the backing of top Senate Democrats and the White House. But Republicans complained they were left out of the process and criticized the bill for including government regulation.
Those Senate GOP critics then introduced their SECURE IT Act, which leaves out government oversight in favor of incentives. The House bill is almost identical to that bill, except for some technical changes.

The Facts about Gorilla Marketing
Guerilla marketing, terminology known as Gorilla marketing, is a cost economical marketing technique, which relies on easy but effective advertising tips that entice potential customers to purchase a particular product/service. It is in essence, personalized advertising aimed at firing the heart of the consumer.
Gorilla marketing came into living in 1984 and loved by Conrad Levinson. It's a non-traditional system of advertisements that rely mainly on time, and effort and imagination to achieve its ends. Gorilla marketing steps are carried out at interesting locations and tend to use bohemian methods that are directed to create an interest and a marketing buzz amongst its possible customer base.
Primarily, small or medium sized businesses adopted gorilla-marketing techniques since it relied mainly on word-of-mouth marketing, which required little financial input. However, now large companies too have come to realize its benefits, and are containing similar marketing strategies, with some achievements.
To instigate a gorilla marketing strategy successfully, companies need to know their customer's specifications, for which close interaction and romance marketing techniques can be used effectively. Versatility is also a much-required attribute when making such a venture a profitable one. Unlike techniques that are more conventional gorilla-marketing positions less emphasis on undertaking and gives higher concern to human psychology instead. It promotes co-operation during rival businesses, which formerly promised only competition. It also encourages relationship building. Here, growing the number and size of transactions with existing customers is a higher priority than getting new sales.
Gorilla marketing usually functions with the end in mind. For instance, its measure of rewards is gauged on the increase in profits and not merely by the increase in earnings. It uses technology to its best advantage, and focuses on a few key products that keep to its promised requirements. Marketing via social networks, grass-root marketing, and even graffiti occasionally are closely related to gorilla marketing.

The Uncommon Life Of Common Objects
Essays on Design and the Everyday
By Akiko Busch. Edited by Diana Murphy. Foreword by Susan S. Szenasy. Original illustrations by George Skelcher.
What makes us love our things? Why do we attach certain sentiments to certain items? How is it that sometimes objects can tell stories more eloquently than people? These are questions explored and answered in The Uncommon Life of Common Objects. Author Akiko Busch devotes a chapter to each of 12 common objects, and discusses her and others' experiences that give everyday things their significance. Through her examination of: a video camera, a cellular phone, a vegetable peeler, a snowboard, a baby carriage, a chair, a refrigerator, a mailbox, a medicine cabinet, a cereal box, a backpack and a desk, Busch illuminates the social and personal issues that shape our lives and the ownership of our things. Lovingly illustrated, always touching, sometimes nostalgic and often hilarious, The Uncommon Life of Common Objects, is a topical reader that is at once a personal manifesto, a look at how design influences and responds to our changing lives, and a study of society and its values and the infusion of meaning into inanimate objects. Each of the 12 chapters is accompanied by a four-color drawing.

End Notes
Laurence Roth, associate professor of English and Jewish Studies, was selected from a national pool of applicants to attend the highly selective seminar "Twenty-first Century Liberal Education" held at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky., this summer. Roth recounts the spirited debate that emerged about the role of liberal arts education in today's society.
"Liberal arts is not content but method." Around the seminar table at Transylvania University, heads nodded in agreement with our moderator's assertion. It was one of the few times all the participants found themselves on the same side, and the bright and spacious seminar room suddenly felt lopsided. As I looked around the table, I was reminded that agreement doesn't come easily to academics, but when it does it's a signal that the discussion has either reached a dead end or become so incendiary everyone must retreat to common ground in order to continue. My impression was that we were stuck in a corner.
For the previous two days, all of us attending Twenty-first Century Liberal Education: A Contested Concept—professors of philosophy, sociology, English, biology, political theory, psychology, theatre and history—had reflected on the current crisis in liberal arts education. As journalist and professor Todd Gitlin puts it, the core of the problem is that "while the liberal arts seek to cultivate knowledge, reason, aptitude and taste for what endures, we live in a society devoted to relentless cultural change." Given the array of educational alternatives now available to undergraduates, how can liberal arts colleges like Susquehanna compete in today's high-speed, market-driven, information-saturated and celebrity-obsessed society?
To find answers we reviewed the history of liberal arts education and liberal arts colleges, and then traced in the United States the rise of two antagonistic traditions: the classical tradition of Robert Maynard Hutchins and the progressive tradition of John Dewey. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago from 1929 to 1951, argued that a liberal arts education ought to remain true to its origins in Greek learning and to the enlargement of that knowledge within the great books of Western civilization. These "draw out the elements of our common human nature, because they connect man with man, because they connect us with the best that man has thought, because they are basic to any further study and to any understanding of the world." Hutchins had no interest in education as "character building" and no faith in the usefulness for undergraduates of courses in the applied sciences. The general public in Chicago probably best remembers him as the man who disbanded the University of Chicago football program.
Dewey, an educator, political activist and professor of philosophy at Columbia University from 1905 to 1939, believed that a liberal arts education was that which helped students succeed in our modern industrial and commercial world. What ought to be taught to undergraduates was the useful knowledge or skills they needed to navigate contemporary society and to make the most of their inherent individual and political freedoms. "The problem of securing to the liberal arts college its due function in democratic society," he wrote, "is that of seeing to it that the technical subjects which are now socially necessary acquire a humane direction." Liberal arts education is both a practical and liberating experience; it's preparation for a lifetime of problem solving.
My colleagues around the seminar table quickly staked out their allegiances, even while granting that certain aspects of one or the other tradition was worthy of inclusion in their conception of the liberal arts college. The arguments were fairly predictable, with the philosophers insisting on the continuing value of so-called "useless knowledge," the sociologists and historians insisting on the connection of education to social and historical forces, and the scientists gently trying to prod all of us into more practical discussions about pedagogy and grading. As a professor of English, I found myself distressed that we weren't giving the imagination its proper due—and that the distinguished speaker at the plenary lecture had the nerve to claim that creative writing has no place in a liberal arts curriculum.

Greenbrier still running buses
CHARLESTON — State efforts to put the brakes on tour bus day trips to The Greenbrier's casino haven't stopped the practice.
Lottery Director John Musgrave told the Lottery Commission this week that the White Sulphur Springs resort has complied with an order to stop busing gamblers to the casino. He said day trips promoted by charter bus companies are beyond the scope of the state law that authorized the casino.
Abbott Trailways of Roanoke, Va., provided a trip The Greenbrier on Wednesday and has another 15 trips scheduled for the rest of the year. Travel Lovers of Lynchburg has a trip scheduled Saturday, the Charleston Gazette reported Thursday.
Representatives of both companies said the companies were advised by management at The Greenbrier that their trips would go on as scheduled.

Program® Monograph
Oral Suspension
Program Suspension Lufenuron 7%
Program is a once-a-month oral suspension that controls flea infestations on cats by interrupting the flea life cycle at the egg and larval stage.
Novartis Animal Health encourages you to take time to read this package insert which describes the once-a-month use of Program (lufenuron) suspension for flea prevention and control. Preventing flea infestations is important in maintaining your cat's good health and grooming.
The active ingredient in Program is lufenuron (N-[2, 5-dichioro-4-(1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, hexafluoropropoxy)-phenylaminocarbonyl)-2, 6-difluorobenzamide).
Program Suspension is indicated for use in the control of flea infestations on cats and in their habitat. Program works by interrupting the flea life cycle, thereby preventing the build-up of flea infestations on cats and their surroundings. Program is indicated for use in cats six weeks of age and older.
Treatment should be initiated at least one month before the onset of the flea season and continued throughout the entire flea season to prevent the build up of a flea infestation. Program is also indicated for control of active midseason flea infestations. However, in this situation, flea adulticides should be used concurrently at labelled rates for the first 6-8 weeks. This provides time for Program to impact flea population dynamics by interrupting the flea cycle.
Program Suspension is to be administered orally, once a month, to cats six weeks of age and older, at the recommended minimum dosage rate of 30 mg lufenuron per kilo of body weight. See the recommended dosage schedule below:
|Weight of Cat
|Program (lufenuron)
|Up to 4.5kg
|1 unit dose dispenser of 133 mg lufenuron
|4.6 - 9kg
|1 unit dose dispenser of 266 mg lufenuron
|over 9kg
|1 of each unit dose dispensers
Observe the cat closely following dosing to ensure that the entire dose has been consumed.
Program Suspension must be administered monthly, throughout the entire flea season. In areas where fleas are prevalent, mainly during the summer months, the first dose should be administered before the onset of flea season. Treatment should continue year-round in areas where fleas are present throughout the year. Discontinuation of the Program regimen may result in flea reinfestation from sources outside the pet's immediate environment. When using Program for control of active mid-season flea infestations, flea adulticidal products should be used concurrently for the first 6-8 weeks.
Program Suspension should be administered on a full stomach. To ensure adequate drug absorption, a full meal should he ingested immediately prior to administration of the suspension.
As an alternative to direct dosing, the suspension can be added to food. Watch the cat closely following dosing to be sure the entire dose has been consumed. In case of doubt, it is safe to readminister the entire dose.
To ensure your cat receives the maximum benefit from Program , you must administer the suspension once a month. If you miss the monthly date of treatment, administer Program immediately and resume your normal monthly dosing schedule.
All dogs and cats inhabiting the same household must receive Program Tablets (dog) or Program suspension (cat). Failure to treat all pets in the household may result in sub optimal flea control caused by re-infestation from untreated animals. Program should be used as part of a comprehensive flea control plan under the direction of a veterinarian.
Flea Infestations on Cats and Treatment with Program
Fleas are the most important ectoparasite on dogs and cats. Fleas are not only annoying pests to you and your pet, but also pose a serious health risk to your cat. Tapeworm parasites are transmitted by fleas and cats may develop an allergic dermatitis from flea bites.
Lufenuron, the active ingredient of Program , belongs to the chemical group of benzoylphenylurea compounds. These compounds are classified as insect development inhibitors which interfere with the transport process involved in polymerization of chitin or in the deposition of chitin chains. Chitin is the principle component of the flea egg case and cuticle that forms the exoskeleton of larval stages and adult fleas. Most affected flea eggs fail to hatch, and of those that do hatch, surviving larval stages fail to develop.
The development-inhibiting effect of this drug occurs when the adult flea is exposed through the blood meal to lufenuron present in the animal's blood. Eggs and larvae from adult fleas exposed to lufenuron in this manner fail to develop properly and die. Because female fleas must feed on blood before they can lay eggs, entire populations of immature life stages are eliminated, resulting in flea control.
Lufenuron has no direct effect on mature fleas since they have fully developed exoskeletons. In order to control existing adult flea infestations, adulticidal products should be used concurrently for the first 6-8 weeks while Program is exerting its life-cycle disrupting effect.
Program has a wide margin of safety in dogs and cats.
Program has been tested safely in over 10 breeds of cats, including pregnant females, breeding males and females, and kittens. In well controlled clinical studies, Program was used safely in dogs and cats, many of which received other commonly used veterinary products such as vaccines, anthelmintics, antibiotics, steroids, flea collars, insecticide shampoos and dips.
Breeding studies in purpose-bred cats demonstrated no adverse responses in either the parental generation or in the birth and survival rate of their progeny following exposure to high doses of lufenuron [in excess of 3 times the blood level achieved by a single dose]. Males and females were given multiple doses 60 days prior to mating through pairing, and females were continually dosed throughout gestation and weaning.
Lufenuron was evaluated in young adult cats approximately 9 months of age for 3 months at rates up to 17 times the monthly use rate, administered on 3 consecutive days each month, without observable adverse effects. In the same study, the drug was administered at exaggerated levels [17x] concomitantly with commonly used carbamate and pyrethroid insecticide products for fleas. No toxicity enhancing effects were observed when lufenuron was administered simultaneously with the topically applied commercial insecticides. Tolerability studies in juvenile cats [11 weeks of age] and young adult cats [7 months of age] at 10 times the monthly use rate indicated a high degree of tolerance to lufenuron.
Lufenuron administered orally to the animal is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and circulates in the blood. Following administration, lufenuron is distributed from the vascular compartment to adipose tissue. It is released steadily back into the blood, thus maintaining levels above the minimum effective concentration between monthly treatments.
Warning: Keep out of reach of children. If accidentally swallowed, call a physician.
Program Suspension for cats is supplied separately as a liquid suspension in convenient dispensers. Since the minimum recommended dose of Program for dogs is different than the recommended dose for cats, please consult your package insert for detailed directions.
Program [Lufenuron] Suspension should be stored at room temperature, between 15 - 30°C.
