COLUMBIANA - City Council has filed a complaint in county Common Pleas Court against City Manager Keith Chamberlin and Municipal Attorney Daniel Blasdell.
The complaint came after Councilman Bryan Blakeman suggested they pursue a court order to learn what issue a taxpayer is having with the city's income tax code.
The taxpayer, whose identity remains confidential, filed a formal tax complaint on Sept. 17. Blasdell told council then the city would need to appoint three members to the Income Tax Board of Review to conduct a private hearing with the taxpayer no later than Oct. 31. He also said, as did Chamberlin, that the issue must remain confidential according to state law. Other than knowing a complaint was filed, council members were not told what the issue was, or who had filed the complaint.
The matter came to a head Oct. 2, after Blakeman and two others on council said they need to know the issue in order to perform their duties as council members.
Blakeman said he and Councilman Bob Bieshelt had even met with Chamberlin privately and were still not given the information despite Blakeman referring to a section in the city's charter he argues gives council the right to know.
According to the complaint filed in court by attorney Scott C. Essad, representing council, Chamberlin and Blasdell have "willfully refused their duties to advise, consult with, and report to city council."
The complaint cites the city's charter and tax code and argues it is the duty of council to inquire into and investigate any and all municipal affairs.
"City council has inquired of both the city manager and municipal attorney about the nature of this tax issue (and) has been met with not only silence, but open defiance. The city manager has stated orally and in writing that he will not share any information with city council absent a 'court order,' and that it was 'none of council's business,'" Essad said in the complaint.
He added Blasdell also said council was "not entitled" to know about the issue.
As Blakeman stressed at the Oct. 2 council meeting, Essad also argued in the complaint that council members are not asking for the name of the taxpayer, but only "wants and requires" an outline and explanation of the tax matter from the two people that "have a duty to answer to, advise and assist city council," according to the charter.
Essad said in the complaint that Chamberlin and Blasdell's use of a city ordinance to back their claim the information must remain confidential was "ironic" in that the same ordinance also states the information shall be confidential "except for official purposes or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction."
"If this matter is not an official purpose, what is?" Essad asked. "The willful declination of these municipal officers to provide information to city council sets a dangerous precedence for the future."
He went on to say that "even more perplexing" is that at other times in the past Chamberlin and Blasdell have "freely consulted" with council regarding tax issues involving special assessments and related matters.
Essad said a writ of mandamus, or court order, is necessary to have the information disclosed privately to council in order for them to perform their duties as required.
A copy of the complaint was served to Chamberlin and Blasdell by the county sheriff's office.
Council members Mary Calinger, Lowell Schloneger and Tom Ferguson were not in favor of pursuing a court order, but Mayor David Spatholt broke the tie vote at the Oct. 2 meeting which allowed council to move forward.

We are finally starting to see some real technological
breakthroughs in the area of mobile storage after a long period of stagnation.
2004 saw the rise of speedy 7200RPM hard drives while this year saw the
introduction of perpendicular
recording which allows data to be recorded in a smaller area. Just
yesterday, DailyTech reported on Seagate's hybrid solution
which pairs a traditional hard drive with perpendicular recording technology to
256MB of non-volatile flash for better performance, increased battery life and
faster booting in Windows
Today, PQI is showing off new drives that mimic Samsung's 32GB Flash-SSD.
PQI, with the help of Samsung NAND flash memory chips, has new 64GB IDE and
storage solutions for mobile users. The drives, which are due for release in
August, are by nature more rugged, lighter, cooler and more efficient than
traditional hard drives with a spinning disc. And best of all, there are
absolutely no moving part so no more listening to your hard drive whir while
you're typing away and no more clicking and thrashing as you open up Photoshop
or perform other disk-intensive operations.
Pricing has not been announced on the new 64GB IDE and SATA 2.5" drives, but rest assured
that the new drives will be many times more expensive than even the fastest 7200RPM hard
drives on the market today. As the market matures and more players enter
the fray, we are sure to see a steady fall in prices. In fact, Samsung predicts
that the global market for NAND flash based drives will increase from $540M USD in 2006 to over $4.5 billion USD in 2010. With growth like that,
there will always be a premium for NAND-based disks over traditional hard
drives, but the price differential should be much more manageable than it is

It is the vision of the Ohio Central School System that all inmates of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction will be provided the necessary academic, job training and social/emotional skills required for successful re-entry to society as effective, participating and productive citizens.
The Ohio Department of Education under Revised Code 3313.61 formally chartered the Ohio Central School System in April 1973. This charter provides the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction with quality programming and the Ohio Central School System the authority to seek additional federal funding. The Chartered School District enables the department to provide a comprehensive, thorough education program that addresses the needs of the vastly under-educated and under-skilled inmates. These services include: Adult Basic Literacy Education, General Educational Development (GED), Adult High School, Apprenticeship Training, Library Services, Special Education, Vocational Education, and other educational programs as directed by the needs of the inmate population.
The Ohio Central School System subscribes to the principles of American democracy, including a genuine belief in the paramount importance of the dignity and worth of all individuals. The basic purpose of American education is to perpetuate and improve this democratic society in which it exists. In keeping with the above precepts, correctional education maintains the mission of providing for the fullest possible development of each participant's talents and potentialities, in order that they might participate more effectively in the cultural, political, social and economic life of this society.
The Ohio Central School System acknowledges that each student is different in terms of his/her education needs and desires and should be dealt with on the basis of these individual differences. Programs, therefore, will be designed to serve this multiplicity of differences. It is believed that participation in meaningful educational programs will elicit both behavioral and attitudinal change. While such participation is, in part, voluntary, individuals are counseled and encouraged to participate in those education endeavors that will most effectively aid them in strengthening self-image, creating positive attitude and developing or increasing the quantity and quality of coping skills needed to successfully re-enter today's highly complex and technical society.
Assessment of the quality and relevance of educational content and practice shall be continuous. Every effort must be concerted to discover the most successful instructional methods for each student's individual educational needs.
The Ohio Central School System adheres to the statement: "Equal Educational Opportunities are offered without regard to Race, Color, National Origin, Sex or Disability." The Ohio Central School System offers many educational programs that comply with the ideals of the charter, vision, mission and philosophy.

Evidence that a woman is a witch and should be burned forthwith. In early times it meant an unfortunate birth defect on some women that took the form of a third nipple on the chest. Later witch hunters were not so discriminating and pointed to any mark, scar, mole, cyst, or mosquito bite found on any part of the body of the hapless bitch, thereby ensuring arrest, conviction, and subsequent barbecue.

Tyra Perry Named Head Softball Coach
MUNCIE, Ind. - - Ball State University has selected Tyra Perry, who served as the head coach at Western Kentucky University for the past six seasons (2008-13), as the new head coach of the Cardinals softball program, director of intercollegiate athletics Bill Scholl announced Tuesday.
"We are thrilled to welcome Tyra Perry to the Ball State family as our new softball head coach," Scholl said. "There was a great amount of interest in the program, with Tyra separating herself from a deep and talented pool of candidates. We have built one of the best programs in the Midwest and I am confident Tyra will help us maintain our upward momentum and push us to new heights."
Perry has spent the last 12 seasons as a NCAA Division I softball head coach, totaling 342 career victories and most recently guiding the Lady Toppers to their most successful campaign in program history.
"I am very excited for this opportunity to coach the Ball State softball program," Perry said. "Ball State has a strong tradition of excellence on the softball field and I am looking forward to working with the current players to help the program build upon this tradition. I am excited about the vision Bill Scholl has not only for the softball program, but for the Ball State athletics department as a whole. I would also like to thank the hiring committee for the opportunity they have given me."
The eighth head coach in Ball State softball history, Perry was the head softball coach at Birmingham-Southern from 2002-07 before taking over at Western Kentucky.
In her six-year tenure at WKU, Perry guided the Lady Toppers to a 196-146-1 (.573) overall record including the program's first-ever NCAA Regional appearance in 2013. WKU advanced to the championship game of the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional this past season and finished the year ranked No. 26 in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), the highest final ranking in program history.
Perry also guided the Lady Toppers to several other firsts during the 2013 campaign. The program posted its first 40-plus win season (43-18) and earned its first Sun Belt Conference regular season title with a 20-3 league record. WKU played its way into the SBC Tournament championship game for the first time under Perry, falling just short of the title with a 2-0 loss to then-No. 19 South Alabama.
The two-time SBC Coach of the Year (2013 and 2009), Perry helped junior pitcher Emily Rousseau earn the program's first SBC Pitcher of the Year honor in 2013. In her six seasons with the Lady Toppers, Perry helped her players garner 14 All-SBC honors, 13 SBC Player of the Week honors, 10 SBC Pitcher of the Week honors and eight SBC All-Tournament Team selections.
In the classroom, Perry's Western Kentucky student-athletes earned five CoSIDA Academic All-District selections, 22 recognitions on the Sun Belt Commissioner's List and 34 Sun Belt Academic Honor Roll awards.
Perry guided Birmingham-Southern to 146 victories in six seasons as head coach, despite the Panthers being a provisional NCAA Division I member during her first two years with the program (2002-03). In 2006, she led Birmingham-Southern to its first winning season in program history and finished with a 28-21 record.
Her Panthers squads posted at least 25 wins in each of her final five seasons with the program. In addition, 15 Birmingham-Southern student-athletes received postseason honors from the Big South Conference during Perry's tenure, and five players earned recognition after both the 2005 and 2006 campaigns.
In 2006, Perry added the title of Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator to her duties and served as BSC's compliance director. Perry was also the head coach for the Southeastern All-Star team which played the United States Olympic squad prior to the 2004 games in Athens.
A 1997 and 1998 graduate of Louisiana State University, Perry earned her degree in kinesiology in 1997 and added a master's degree in sports administration in 1998. She was a two-year letterwinner in softball for the Tigers (1997-98), and helped the program post a combined 102-28 (.758) record over her career, including a 58-14 (.806) mark in Southeastern Conference play.
She also helped the Tigers pick up a pair of SEC West Division titles and make the program's first-ever NCAA Regional Tournament appearance where it finished second.
In her first season at LSU, Perry led the Tigers with a .345 batting average, 11 home runs, 40 runs scored, a .416 on-base percentage and a .612 slugging percentage. Those numbers helped her earn recognition on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-South Region Second Team, as well as first-team All-Louisiana honors and a slot on the SEC's all-tournament team. Perry led the team with five homers in 1998, while posting a .324 average with 29 runs scored and 38 RBI. Off the field, she was twice named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.Perry was inducted into the Zachary High School Hall of Fame in her hometown of Zachary, La., in 2007.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - Engelbert Humperdinck likes to keep things current.
Next year's planned release of a new CD will be his first collaborative record ever. He is recording now with names he doesn't want to reveal. However, his label, the U.K.-based Conehead Records, includes such artists as Julian Lennon and television "X Factor" finalist Stacey Solomon.
Humperdinck wants to build excitement for the record, that will include some new songs and some that "already have been hits," he said.
Article Photos
Certainly, his upcoming appearance at the Maryland Theatre in Hagerstown will depend on known songs and the hits that made him a known name in the 1960s and 70s. If it weren't for "Release Me" or "The Last Waltz," few would know the story of the man born in 1936 as Arnold George Dorsey, who had his name changed in the mid-1960s by the same music executive who converted Thomas John Woodward to Tom Jones.
"Release Me," Humperdinck's first No. 1 hit, was such a smash in the U.K., that it kept the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" from reaching the top spot.
"This is the one that took me all over the world," he announces from the stage before beginning the song, in a 1982 performance at the Las Vegas Hilton that is available on YouTube.
And all over the world is where Humperdinck continues to be. His current tour has included dates in Russia, Singapore, Australia, South Africa and Canada, as well as the U.S., he said. And when he finishes his dates here, he'll move on to do Europe again, he said.
At age 76, Humperdinck has not tired of touring.
"There's nothing like a live performance for me," he said.
He says he has no favorite songs, not even among those for which he is best known. And not even, famously, for the one that got away.
The story goes that as Humperdinck was beginning his career in London, he was brought a few songs to record. One of them was "Strangers in the Night," a song he loved and wanted to release. But, he said, he was told he couldn't have it. Sinatra wanted the song.
"What they did with that record, I don't know," he said. "It's somewhere in the archives."
Will he sing it now onstage?
"It's difficult choosing songs for the program," Humperdinck said. "You have to pick the ones that people want to hear."
In preparing for performance, Humperdinck said he listens to his old recordings, and criticizes himself. He is always looking for a way to do it better, he said.
Humperdinck said the nearly two-hour show is fast-moving, and "has entertainment in it. It's not just stand-up-and-sing."
In all, Humperdinck has earned four Grammy nominations, a 1988 Golden Globe award for Entertainer of the Year, 63 gold and 24 platinum records and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The 1996 film, "Beavis and Butt-head Do America," featured the Humperdinck song, "Lesbian Seagull."
Remarkably, Humperdinck has sustained a 48-year marriage through all the years of touring and performance. His wife, the equestrienne Patricia Healey, married him in 1964, before his name change and his fame. Today, she calls him Enge, he said, and accompanies him on tour to "the unique places that we go." Together, they have four children and nine grandchildren, and if Humperdinck has a regret, he said, it was that being on the road for months at a time meant he "never saw (his) kids grow up."
However, today he is managed by his son, Scott Dorsey, a move that was made after his prior manager declined an offer for Humperdinck to collaborate on the CD, "Plastic Beach," released in 2010 by The Gorillaz, a virtual music group created in the U.K. and influenced by musical genres including hip-hop and electronica. For his current tour, Humperdinck is closed-mouthed about what song he saves for his encore.
"It's a very good song," he said. "I get a standing ovation for it."
His program is tried and tested, he said.
"The tried formula works, so why change it right now?" he said. "I'll change it next year."
Humperdinck's show is Friday at 8 p.m. at The Maryland Theatre. Tickets are $48 to $88 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 301-790-3500 or online at mdtheatre.org.

Close Sets
Stetson has lost six sets by the minimum margin of two points, including two winner-take-all fifth sets. However, Stetson was able to win two "close" sets against Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday en route to the 3-0 win. Overall, the Hatters are 4-6 in sets decided by two points.
"Tuesday's win over Bethune-Cookman was huge for us to get some confidence and believe we can win those close games," head coach Tim Loesch said. "Hopefully that will carry over for us this weekend."
A Wild Set
Stetson's 32-30 win in the first set against Bethune-Cookman was the Hatters' longest set in the 25-point rally-scoring era, dating back to the 2008 season. The match was tied eight times between 23-23 and 30-30, with Stetson owning set point five times and Bethune-Cookman owning set point twice.

Career Highs
A few Hatters set or equaled their single-game career highs against Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday. Junior Ellen Hawks set a career-high with 14 kills, Kaley Melville tied a career-high with 19 digs, and Morgan Pautsch set a career-high with six kills.
A-Sun Statistical Rankings
The Hatters 1.81 team blocks per set ranks third in the A-Sun. Monique Russell leads the A-Sun with 164 digs, and ranks fourth in digs per set (4.69).
All-Time Digs Record
Russell now ranks second in school history with 1103 career digs. She needs 185 more digs to set the school record, which is held my Melissa Roy (1287 digs, 1994-97)
Up Next - Rematch
Stetson returns home play a rematch against Florida Atlantic at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. The Hatters and Owls played a five-set thriller on Aug. 31 in the Clarion Classic, and the two teams also went five sets last year in Daytona Beach. FAU won both matches.

When Stetson junior K'shawn Smith rounded second base in the ninth inning Friday night and picked up third base coach Mark Leavitt, he was surprised to get a wave toward home.
Smith, who had reached on a two-out single in the ninth inning of a tie game with Northern Kentucky, took off for second on a 1-2 pitch from NKU's Brett Cisper to freshman Kevin Fagan, who went with the pitch on the outside part of the plate,
smacking a single through the vacated left side of the infield.
Smith charged around third and slid in to the plate at about the same time as the ball arrived to Cody Kuzniczci, colliding with the Norse catcher and jarring the ball loose to score the winning run in a 3-2 Stetson victory.
The win for Stetson (24-26, 13-9) clinched a berth in the Atlantic Sun Tournament, which will be played at Melching Field in two weeks. The loss for the Norse (8-41, 3-19) continues a frustrating first season in Division I. NKU has now lost 10 straight games, seven of those by just one run.
Smith, who had two hits in the game, said he was surprised when he got the signal to go home.
"At first I was surprised, but we had talked a lot about putting pressure on the defense," Smith said. "I figured that I might as well score. I thought we would have first and third with Darby (McCormick) and (Patrick) Mazeika coming up."
Fagan, who also had two hits in the game, said the only thing on his mind when he got to the plate in the ninth was putting the bat on the ball.
"I just wanted to put it into play," Fagan said. "Coach Dunn says that good things happen when you put the ball in play. I knew K'shawn was going on the hit-and-run and he is one of the fastest players on the team. Luckily the shortstop went over to cover when K'shawn took off and that opened up a hole. I peeked in and was a little surprised that he was running, but I was ecstatic when I got to second base."
Hatters coach Pete Dunn said that Leavitt read the play correctly from the start.
"K'shawn had a full head of steam and Coach Leavitt read the ball that they didn't quite get to it as quickly as they should," Dunn said. "You have to send him in that situation. They threw the ball in to the shortstop because they anticipated him stopping at third. By that time it was too late. It wasn't the most artistic win, but it was a win nonetheless."
The run in the bottom of the ninth clinched the win, but it was the two runs Stetson scored in the eighth inning that gave the Hatters a chance. NKU starting pitcher Tim Clark had just one bad inning in his first seven. The Hatters loaded the bases against the lefty in the third, but Clark got both Mazeika and James Rasmussen to ground out to get out of the jam without allowing a run to score.
"We had the bases loaded with one out and Mazeika up and he got a little impatient and rolled over one," Dunn said. "Then it looked like that might have been the best shot we had the whole game."
Stetson starter Josh Powers was his normal dominant self again, allowing just one run on eight hits over the first eight innings while recording a career-high eight strikeouts. He retired the first 11 men he faced to start the game, but then surrendered three consecutive singles in the fourth to give NKU a 1-0 lead.
That is where the game stayed until the eighth when Stetson knocked Clark out of the game. With one out, McCormick and Mazeika delivered back-to-back singles. Reliever Brett Loeding came in and surrendered an RBI double down the right field line to Rasmussen to tie the game at 1-1. Garrett Russini followed with a ground ball to second to score Mazeika, giving Stetson a 2-1 lead.
Dunn said getting Clark out of the game was big for the Hatters.
"He was your typical soft lefty," Dunn said. "If you don't stay back and go the other way, that is why we hit so many fly balls because we were hitting off our front foot. We didn't make a very good adjustment throughout the game. I wasn't unhappy when they went to the pen, I can promise you that."
Powers went back to the mound to start the ninth inning in search of just his second win of the season. His chance at getting that win on his own ended when Logan Spurlin, who had singled in the first run of the game, doubled into the left field corner to start the ninth. The Norse used a sacrifice bunt to move pinch-runner Zac Asman to third before Powers gave way to freshman Tyler Warmoth (4-2).
"Coach (Chris) Roberts came over and wanted to know if we wanted to go with (Warmoth) in the ninth," Dunn said. "In retrospect, I probably should have done that. But, it wasn't like Powers was tired and he was throwing the ball very well. He just gave up that leadoff double. Warmoth came in and got the punchout and went 0-2 on the next guy and it looked like we would pitch our way out, but he did a great job of fighting off pitches to get the hit."
Brandon Wood fell behind Warmoth 0-2 on consecutive sliders, but battled back to even the count by spoiling two more quality breaking balls from the Stetson freshman. He finally got a pitch he could handle on the seventh pitch of the at bat and lined a single to center to score Asman with the tying run.
"You have to give them credit," Dunn said. "To be down to your last strike, and their guy fouled off pitches and hung in there. I thought Warmoth made some really quality pitches, but he fouled them off before finally getting the hit."
NKU turned to junior Brett Cisper (1-6) in the ninth, and he quickly disposed of Tyler Bocock and Mitchel Brennan on a pair of ground balls before Smith started the winning rally.
"Our guys came back and that was huge," Dunn said. "We got those two hits after there were two outs with no one on. K'shawn got the hit to get it started. Whatever he is doing, he needs to keep doing it."
The win alleviates any pressure the Hatters might have felt about getting into the A-Sun Tournament. Dunn said he is more interested in building momentum heading into that event.
"I don't know if there was any pressure, but it is nice to know that you are in and there is not a gun to your head," Dunn said. "The big thing now is to keep some momentum, keep winning, and take some momentum into the tournament. I'd like to keep winning this weekend and go to Gulf Coast with a chance to improve our seeding. We know we aren't going to get an at large, so we just have to keep winning."
The Hatters and Norse will continue their weekend series on Saturday night at Melching Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Billie Joe Armstrong concluded his Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame acceptance speech by shouting out 924 Gilman Street and several local punk bands.
Green Day's debut album, 1,000 hours, was released in 1989 and it's fair to say no one watching the band play backyards, squats, and tiny DIY venues during that time could have guessed the group of snot-nosed punks would ever be part of the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame. But that's kinda become Green Day's thing. No one could have guessed they would have a successful Broadway show either — but that happened.
The group has found a level of unlikely

'We share this honor together,' Armstrong told the nation.
Green Day thanked a lot of people during their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction over the weekend. They gave props to the Ford Econoline van that schlepped them all over the country for years, their families, their longtime label, bands that came up with them (Operation Ivy, Crimpshrine), their kids and, most of all, each other.
On Tuesday, though, singer Billie Joe Armstrong had one more thank you he needed to send out to the people who really, really made it happen: the fans in the idiot nation.

Canon filled a patent for a foveon type sensor. If there will be a 46.1 megapixel camera I expect the foveon type sensor in it.
Can anyone explain to me what 16 bit means? Other than that, the specs look good
Quote from: canon816 on September 23, 2012, 02:27:58 PMIt sure would be great to have one of each! I'm sure Canon will grant your wish and never produce a "one does it all" camera even if they cold - what's better than a customer buying one camera? Buying two :-)!
It sure would be great to have one of each!
Let me guess - yet another recycling of the T2i/60D/7D/T3i/T4i/ pixels, just in a larger sensor.18*(1.6*1.6) = 46.1
Quote from: Lee Jay on September 22, 2012, 07:44:45 PMLet me guess - yet another recycling of the T2i/60D/7D/T3i/T4i/ pixels, just in a larger sensor.18*(1.6*1.6) = 46.1Either that or it's a new crop sensor that will eventually go in the rebels and 70D but starting with FF version first. An even greater level of the technology dropping from top to bottom.
Should I sell my 1dx??Very confused: 18mpx for $7000.0046mpx for HOW MUCH?Paul
If one of the OP's is correct and this 46MP sensor is a Foveon sensor, this is similar from what I understand is in Sigma DP MERRILL point and shoot that has a few good reviews. However if it was this simple and that great, wouldn't this already be a trend by now?Last year I met a photographer who actually had done extensive research on this Foveon sensor and his advise to me then was to 'give them some time to perfect it'. He was shooting a Canon 5D2 and had numerous Sigma and Canon lenses but advised me to stay clear of that technology for now.Your thoughts?
definately not somethign to pre-order without seeing test results I'm just wondering how much ISO performance has to give in order to get the DR. its gonna be a good show to watch, but from preliminary indications this won't be seen at very many weddings . In order to make an industry contribution is appears Canon has to make a fairly sharp distinction between the studio/'scape body and the wedding/event body.

Antietam 150th Essay Contest set
SHARPSBURG, Md. - Calling all students. Antietam National Battlefield is excited to announce an essay contest to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam. The contest focuses on the themes of character, memory and freedom, and is open to any student entering grades K-12 in the upcoming school year.
Contest submissions will be accepted until 4 p.m. on Aug. 24. Prizes will be provided by the Western Maryland Interpretive Association and the Sharpsburg Historical Society. Contest rules, prompts, and rubrics are available at www.nps.gov/anti/forkids/essay-contest.htm or hard copies can be picked up from the Antietam National Battlefield Visitor Center or most branches of the Washington County Free Library.
Antietam National Battlefield tells the story of America's bloodiest day in our nation's fight for freedom. On Sept. 17, 1862, over 23,000 Americans were killed or wounded in the Battle of Antietam. As the glowing sun set over the bloody fields of Sharpsburg, the Civil War became a different struggle. Five days after the battle, armed with pen and paper, Abraham Lincoln changed the war and our nation when he issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.
The proclamation declared freedom for the enslaved in the rebelling states, beginning the important journey of freedom and equality for all Americans. Antietam National Battlefield preserves these stories of tragedy and of hope on America's journey from Civil War to Civil Rights.
Essay contest accepts submissions
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Park Service, in partnership with the National Park Foundation's African-American Experience Fund, has launched Expressions of Freedom, a nationwide artistic competition to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Contest submissions will be accepted from students 13 to 18 years old in three categories - photography, poetry and digital short films. The first-place winner in each category will receive a $2,500 academic scholarship and the second-place winner will receive a $1,000 academic scholarship. The deadline for entries is Oct. 15. Details are available at www.nps.gov/freedom.
Expressions of Freedom is designed to connect student artists to the significance of the American Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the system of national parks that commemorate events associated with the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement.
Mountaineer Pageant to be held
MARTINSBURG - The Miss Mountaineer Pageant will be held Oct. 13 in Morgantown for girls ages infant-18. Competition includes beauty and WV/Blue and Gold Wear. Additional categories will be offered.

Peer-to-Peer in Mexico
The Spanish translation of NAMI's Peer-to-Peer Recovery Education Course is underway.
by Kathryn McNulty
Director, Consumer Education Programs
NAMI Education, Training and Peer Support Center
On September 22, 2004, I arrived--with my husband, Jim--in Monterrey, Mexico. We cleared customs and immigration, and were met by a member of Ingenium. Ingenium is one of NAMI's Multicultural and International partner organizations in Mexico.
We had come to work with a group of bilingual volunteers. This Peer-to-Peer training had been in the works for quite some time, since I met with Ingenium founder Hugo Garza at the NAMI Convention in Cincinnati in 2002. Ingenium had expressed an interest in translating Peer-to-Peer, much like the work they did on the Spanish translation of Family to Family. I agreed that would be a marvellous idea, so long as Ingenium collaborated with consumers to get the job done. It took a while, but Ingenium eventually located 12 bilingual persons who live with mental illness, who were interested in being trained in Peer-to-Peer and working on translating it into Spanish.
We spent six days working on the training, as opposed to the three days a Peer-to-Peer training usually takes. It was thought that the participants would need to proceed slowly and would require a lot of rest due to the difficulty of learning in a foreign language. It turned out that the group moved very quickly, and the extra time in the schedule allowed for a great deal of sharing and discussion among the participants.
The training itself was held in a beautiful building owned by a large corporation, and we worked outside on the patio for the most part. The natural stones that comprised the wall of the patio kept our space cool in the heat of the afternoon. We looked out on a garden with a fountain in the middle. We were tucked away, in the middle of a Monterrey neighborhood, able to enjoy the scents and the sunshine as we worked together.
I felt, at the end of the week, like I was leaving "family." In my gratitude meditation--the final 'mindfulness' exercise of the Peer-to-Peer Course (and its closing ceremony)--I was moved to say that I felt like I had discovered "brothers and sisters in a foreign country." Jim and I were given a beautiful memento of our work there, with the inscription:
"At the beginning I was only a little mass of possibilities. It was my teacher who unfolded and developed them." - Helen Keller
The translation work has begun, with the group meeting in person and via email. Estimates vary as to how long it will take to complete the Spanish translation of Peer-to-Peer. Implementation plans will be devised, following the completion of the translation.

May 18, 1922 – June 9, 2013
A memorial service for John A. Cope, a retired National Fuel Gas Co. treasurer, will be held at 11 a.m. today in Hamburg United Methodist Church, 116 Union St.
Mr. Cope, of Eden, died Sunday at home. He was 91.
Born in Knox, Pa., he attended Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., and the U.S. Army Officers Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh.
During World War II, he served in the Army Medical Corps in Europe and was the recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. He served in the Battle of the Bulge.
In 1985, Mr. Cope retired from National Fuel as treasurer of several of its subsidiaries after more than 35 years.
He was a member of the Hamburg Masonic Lodge and the Ismailia Shrine, with more than 60 years as a Mason in Pennsylvania. He was a member of Hamburg United Methodist Church.
Survivors include his wife of 22 years, the former Delores Madden; four sons, Jack, Dick, Jim and Barry; a daughter, Sandy; two stepdaughters, Susan and Eileen; and a stepson, Joseph.
He was predeceased by his first wife of 41 years, I. Maxine Cope.

Two area high school students are receiving national recognition for their research working in the lab of Dr. Simon Collier, Chair of the BMS program's Neuroscience and Developmental Biology research cluster.
The students, Nathan N. Wang and Jared M. Galloway, are seniors at Fairland High School in Proctorville, Ohio. They have been working in Collier's lab since summer 2010 with Marshall graduate student David Neff on a project to explore the function of a rubber-like protein, resilin, in insect flight.
Research in Collier's lab focuses on the genetic control of the basic developmental processes of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. According to Collier, Drosophila has been studied for more than 100 years because the organism has many genes and genetic pathways similar to humans. Collier is considered a pioneer in the field.
Neff, who is overseeing the students' research, said, "This is an important project because not only has it increased our understanding of insect flight, it also has potential implications for the design of biotechnological devices and possibly tissue implants, which could employ molecularly engineered protein sheets."
Wang and Galloway were nationally recognized for their research in October, when they were named semifinalists in the 2011 Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. The highest science honor awarded to American high school students, the award is sponsored by the Siemens Foundation. Their project was one of only three from Ohio to reach the national semifinals.
Earlier this year, their project earned them superior ratings at the Fairland Schools Local Science Fair, the Ohio Academy of Science District 14 Science Day and the Ohio Academy of Science State Science Day, where they were recognized with the Sigma Xi Interdisciplinary Research Award presented by the Ohio State University chapter of the scientific research society.
Collier said, "Nathan and Jared are indeed outstanding young students with very bright futures ahead of them. They are doing exemplary research in our lab and I'm looking forward to watching where their academic careers take them."
The research was supported with funding from the National Science Foundation and the NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium.

Montessori to Host Music Workshop with "Bells Lady" Marcia Perez
Is your Montessori Music Program all it could be? Come join us for three days this July in Lutherville, Maryland for three days of Montessori music! This unique...
The Montessori School, established by the Montessori Society of Central Maryland, Inc., was founded in 1962 by a small group of parents dedicated to providing a Montessori education for their children. Nearly 7,000 students have attended Montessori since its inception and graduates are represented at all private schools as well as a large number of public schools in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The school is accredited by the American Montessori Society and Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Today, The Montessori School includes programs for toddlers (starting at 18 months old) through grade six at its Emerson Farm campus at the corner of Falls and Greenspring Valley Roads. This location is also home to its affiliate, Emerson Farm Middle School, a Montessori-based program for grades seven and eight, which opened in 2005. The Maryland Center for Montessori Studies, a Montessori early childhood teacher training program, has been in operation at the Lutherville location since 1993. The Emerson Farm campus, named after the historic farm property that the Montessori Society of Central Maryland purchased and began refurbishing in 1977, now serves approximately 250 students.
Click here to enjoy an overview of our campus, classrooms and programs including Toddler & Primary, Elementary and Middle School levels as well as some of our specialty programs. We invite you to visit our school during one of our Open Houses or schedule an individual tour and observation by calling our Admissions Office, 410-321-8555, ext. 102.
Children are eager, spontaneous learners curious about the world around them. And you, the parent, are your child's first teacher. At your knee your child spoke his or her first word, took the first step, heard the first story. The Montessori School is an extension of the education you have begun at home. We at Montessori view education as an aid to life, as a process. Our role is to preserve and nurture your child's natural curiosity and to develop an openness to the limitless possibilities of life.
We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process. Children not only learn, but thrive in an environment that is specially prepared to meet their physical, cognitive and social needs, and satisfy their intrinsic interests. Our curriculum offers children freedom of choice in a dynamic, energized classroom where learning is tangible.

PRECOR IGR CONCENTRATE (PRECOR) acts on the immature life stages of the flea, preventing the adult flea from developing. Flea eggs deposited on, and larvae crawling onto treated areas will not develop into adult fleas. Existing adult fleas and flea pupae are not affected. If a high population of adult fleas (the biting stage) is present, tank-mix with an adulticide of choice that is EPA registered and properly labeled for flea control. To prevent infestations before they start, apply PRECOR prior to flea season.
When applied to surfaces where fleas are found, such as carpets, upholstered furniture, and pet sleeping areas, PRECOR prevents adult flea emergence for up to 7 months. Controlling fleas on pets is important to prevent introduction of adult fleas indoors.
If fleas area problem on pets, treat the pets with an effective EPAregistered flea control product.

To the editor:
I saw my Democrat friend the other day. He looked glum. "What's the matter?" I asked.
"It's my son-in-law," he said. "He works for a company down in Maryland and he's lost his job."
"How did that happen?"
He didn't say anything for a minute, then he said, "Well, the company said it had to cut back to less than 50 people."
He hesitated again, and then he said, "Well, because of some new government regulations that require companies with 50 people or more to do something for their employees and the company doesn't want to have to do that, so they let him and some other people go to get under 50."
"You're talking about Obamacare, aren't you?"
He gave me a sullen look and muttered, "Yeah."
"Well, Nancy Pelosi said that they would have to pass the act to see what's in it, and now we're finding out what's in it, aren't we?"
"Look," he said. "There's a lot of good things in that bill. Think of the people with pre-existing conditions. Think of the uninsured. Think of the college kids that get to stay on their parents' insurance."
"Okay, so all those people will be covered. When they all get sick, who will pay their medical bills?"
"It won't cost us a cent. The insurance companies and the government will pay all those bills."
I looked at him. "Where do you suppose the insurance companies and the government will get all that money to pay those bills? Out of thin air?"
He looked at me again. He was wondering what he should say next. He thought for a minute or so, then he turned to me and said, "Well, anyway, Obama's really good on gay marriage."
"You're very good at changing the subject," I laughed.
He didn't say anything.

Or at least her character, Tara, is in this sultry, moody trailer for The Canyons, the upcoming erotic thriller in which Lohan, 27, stars with the porn actor James Deen.
"When's the last time you went to see a movie in the theater?" Tara says of movies at the trailer's outset. "I don't know. You know, I guess maybe it's just not my thing anymore."
The trailer features several shots of Lohan disrobing, but only hints at the movie's plot. (It involves Tara hiding an affair from her boyfriend, which eventually leads to "an act of bloody violence.")
"I guess I'd like to keep some parts of my life private," Tara says at one point – a line that will inevitably draw comparisons between Tara and Lohan herself, whose troubles have been highly publicized for years.
The Canyons hits theaters Aug. 9 but will be available on video on demand a week earlier.

He cannot say why it touched him in the way it did. Brian Duff never met the young lady. He never haunted a skatepark. There were numerous points of separation between the 41-year old sports broadcaster and the 18-year-old longboarding free spirit.
There was just something about her, brought alive through the words of friends and family, that gave Alix Rice a life after death. It was easy for Duff to picture the kid who named her longboard "Rupert" and stashed it in her school locker. She was the only girl working at Bocce Pizza, trading wisecracks with the guys. She once took the bus from Amherst to downtown, to see what City Hall looked like. There was a lot of life in the long-limbed girl with the doe eyes and big smile.
"Seeing her picture, and hearing the stories [about her], just drew me into the story," said Duff, the stick-thin studio host for Sabres telecasts. "Plus the drunk driving issue – I have two kids, eight and five."
Unlike most of us, Duff's expression of sympathy went beyond a prayer, a tear, a blogpost. He felt that Alix's life deserved more of a legacy than words. It needed something lasting, something that would please the girl who would have celebrated her 20th birthday two Saturdays ago.
When he heard about an Alix Rice fundraiser last summer, Duff contacted organizer Jon Fulcher – who himself had been moved to act in Alix's memory. Duff, Fulcher and a handful of others – notably Rice's mother, Tammy Schueler – are working to build a skatepark in memory of the Amherst teenager (www.alixrice.com).
She was killed two summers ago on Heim Road by drunk-driving doctor James Corasanti. Astoundingly, a jury failed to convict Corasanti of a felony, even though he drove off, claiming he didn't know he hit someone. (A judge later sentenced Corasanti to the one-year maximum on the misdemeanor conviction.)
Duff, Fulcher & Co. will soon nail down the skatepark site – possibly Paradise Park – with town officials. They formed a non-profit and are lining up corporate donors. They held a third fundraiser last month.
The larger message is self-evident. This story did not end with the lawyers and courts. It is like a living organism, an ongoing saga, with its own moral and resolution, written by good-hearted people: Triumph can come from tragedy. The darkest cloud can sprout a silver lining.
Rising from the bile of a bursting life cut short is a community's desire to patch a wound, to balance a wrong.
"That's what Jon [Fulcher] told me," said Tammy Schueler. "He wanted to do something to show me and Richard [Alix's father] that the community cared."
We met Wednesday evening in Schueler's Amherst apartment. Alix's photo dominates a living-room wall. It is a head-and-shoulders shot of the dark-haired teen, index finger playfully raised in a Shhhsh gesture.
I asked Tammy Schueler what the rallies and fundraisers meant to her.
"I am beyond touched and honored," she told me, tears falling, "that people I never knew before want to help, and to see that she will be remembered."
The courts and the lawyers are done. The community – behind Duff and Fulcher – carries on. A skatepark in Alix's name will permanently mark her presence on the planet.
"I just picture my girl smiling down on us," Tammy told me, "and thinking that this is all so neat."

Dear Pet Docs,
Please answer this quickly as we have to make a decision soon. Our Bullmastiff puppy is 11 weeks old. We have had her for 2 weeks.
From day one she would vomit shortly after meals. We took her to our veterinarian, who said she had a problem with her esophagus, known as mega-esophagus. He said that this could be due to a stricture, that she was born with. He fed her food mixed with a dye and took an X-ray, and said that that confirmed his suspicions.
We were told that surgery is the only treatment, but that the prognosis is not good. We want to try, but don't want to put her through an unnecessary procedure. What would you advise.
A: What you are describing is a known as a vascular ring anomaly. As a mammalian embryo develops, it has 5, paired, aortic arches in front of the heart. Abnormal development can lead to six different conditions, all known as vascular ring anomalies.
In these situations, the abnormal vessel entraps the esophagus as it passes the heart. Liquids can usually pass, but solid foods are trapped. This causes the food to accumulate in the esophagus, just in front of the vascular ring. If prolonged, this can lead to severe distension of the esophagus and result in permanent loss of function.
The first thing an owner typically sees is regurgitation shortly after feeding. Unlike vomiting, regurgitation is not accompanied by any real effort. The food just quickly comes up with no heaving. It appears undigested. Regurgitation indicates the problem is in the esophagus, not the stomach or intestines.
If this continues, untreated, the puppy will become debilitated by malnutrition, and is at high risk for development of aspiration pneumonia.
The problem first becomes apparent at the time of weaning. Ninety-five percent of the time the anomaly is due to a condition known as a persistent right aortic arch (PRAA). This has been reported in horses, cattle, cats and dogs. German shepherds and Irish setters are among the most commonly affected breeds. The condition can usually be defined by an X-ray. Occasionally more sophisticated imaging is necessary. Once the diagnosis is made, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, provided the patient is stable and fit for anesthesia and surgery. This is to minimize irreversible damage to the esophagus, and reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
The treatment involves an "open chest" procedure, and it is risky. Reported survival rates are about 80 percent. This may sound like good odds, but it means one in five will not make it through surgery. Some big reasons for the relatively high mortality rate are that these are puppies, and they are often debilitated by malnutrition prior to surgery, or develop pneumonia afterwards.
For many years, there was a gap between the reported outcomes, and what many surgeons believed about how well these patients did. Sadly, these pessimistic reports led to a widespread belief that surgery was ineffective, and many dogs were euthanized as a result. In 1997, a report was published that supported what many surgeons already thought, which was that of the patients who made it through surgery, most were vastly improved. Ninety percent of patients have good to excellent outcomes. They no longer regurgitate or only do so sporadically. And their body condition significantly improves. Only about 10 percent failed to respond at all to surgery. The biggest hurdle, is surviving the procedure.
So, the odds are certainly in your favor and this is a procedure that's best done early. So find a qualified surgeon and go for it. Good luck!

Satellite Direct: The Way to Stop Paying Cable Bills
Get Thousands Of TV Channels Online – Without Paying Cable Bills
Considering the present harsh economic conditions, it is not surprising that most households are trying to find ways to cut down and reduce their expenses. Naturally, the family's basic needs take precedence over other matters, which includes cable and satellite television.

Welcome to the Engineering Program
The Engineering Program is the entry point for all students wishing to major in an Engineering field and consists of the lower level engineering, math, and science courses as well as general education courses such as composition, history, government, and wellness, that are core to nearly all engineering disciplines.
Courses in the Engineering Program make up about one half of the coursework required for a Bachelor of Science degree in any Engineering discipline. These courses prepare the student for further studies in their desired engineering discipline either at Tarleton State University or other colleges and universities such as Texas A&M, UTA, or Texas Tech.
Students are the number one priority with the Engineering faculty. Students are nurtured and groomed from the first day they step into the classroom to develop the study skills and work ethic needed to be successful in academics and beyond.
At Tarleton, you don't have to wait to graduate to do real research or projects. Our students have the opportunity to do it every day. Through the wide ranging research interests of our enthusiastic faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities, the education of our students is enriched with unique hands-on-educational research and internship opportunities.
Math preparedness is a critical component to success in any engineering program. Thus it is very important for potential engineering students to strive to prepare themselves to be at least Precalculus ready prior to entering college.
Engineering coursework is very sequential in nature, with each semester building on the coursework of the previous semester. It is therefore also important for the student to start taking engineering coursework as early as possible in their college careers if s/he wishes to graduate in a four year timeframe.
See Engineering Requirements for more details.

Mental Health Cuts: The "Super Committee" Debate
A Congressional "super committee" currently is deliberating over how to reduce the federal budget deficit-to cut an additional $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years. Its recommendations are due Nov. 23, with a vote in Congress required by Dec. 23.
The Big Picture
The Kaiser Family Foundation and others recently held a special briefing by 11 leading experts to discuss Inside Deficit Reduction: What It Means for Mental Health Care. Individual video presentations can be viewed on line.
Mental Health Debate
Many leaders in Congress have already targeted Medicaid, other critical safety net programs, and other NAMI priorities such as mental health research, as part of the "super committee" process. The debate has already begun.
Take Action Now
Please take two minutes now to voice support for millions of Americans affected by serious mental illness. Contact your members of Congress and urge them to ensure that the "super committee" produces balanced deficit reductions that reject cuts to Medicaid and Social Security disability programs and critical needs-such as mental health research, housing and veterans programs.
Members of Congress can be called toll-free at 1 (888) 876-6242 and email messages to your senators can be sent through this link.

Please also share this information with family members and friends. Ask them to join you in speaking out.

Rihanna Thankful for Her 'Fresh Start' with Chris Brown
Acknowledging their relationship in an interview for April's Elle U.K. (on newsstands March 6), the Barbados-born music and style icon, says that in five years she hopes to have a baby and to be healthy and happy.
And, yes, that vision of her future seems to include Brown by her side.
"Right now, that's just what we want, a great friendship, that's unbreakable," Rihanna, 25, described of her relationship with Brown, 23. "Now that we're adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and we're thankful for that."
In five years? "I will probably have a kid," but in the short term, she's just praying for a month-long vacation and a break from her hectic touring.
Mariano Vivacano / Courtesy ELLE UK
"You don't have that feeling with everybody so when you have it, you don't want to let go of it," Rihanna said. "I would definitely say he is the one I have that kind of relationship with."
She is sporting at least one symbol, however, that says to the world she will never be a victim again – a gun tattoo. While some have commented about its symbolism, Rihanna described it as empowering.
"Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No," Rihanna said. "That's why I got the gun. It was a symbol of strength. I'll never be a victim."

Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

MARTINSBURG - One female was killed in a shooting early Friday morning involving police officers, according to a press release issued by the Martinsburg Police Department.
Officers responded to a report around 3 a.m. that a woman was being held at gunpoint by a second woman at 108 S. Georgia Ave., according to the release.
The woman who said she was being held at gunpoint, later identified as Tiffany Lee Overholser, told dispatch that she could not provide any other information and advised there were other people in the residence.
Two MPD officers arrived first on the scene and approached the front door of the residence, at which time they observed someone looking through the window blinds, according to the release. Officers did not continue further to the house.
Overholser then opened and exited the front door and brandished a handgun, according to the release. She took several steps forward while pointing the gun at one of the officers. Both officers fired several rounds "to neutralize the threat," according to the release.
Officers attempted to perform lifesaving measures and contacted medical personnel while on the scene, according to the release. The handgun, a loaded 40-caliber Glock, was secured by officers.
Overholser was transported to City Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. An autopsy was to be performed in Morgantown later Friday, according to the release.
A search of the residence was conducted, and it was determined that other occupants were asleep during the incident, according to the release. Officers also determined Overholser was the complainant and that there was no incident involving a second female.
Family members advised officers that Overholser had attempted suicide on several occasions in the past, according to the release. A motive for Overholser's action is still being investigated.
Both officers involved in the incident have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to the release. Police chief Kevin Miller could not be reached for further comment.
Officers were assisted by the Eastern Panhandle Drug and Violent Crime Task Force.
The West Virginia State Police are handling the investigation of the incident, the release said.
The South Georgia Avenue address is listed with the West Virginia Secretary of State's office, under the organizer name David Overholser, as the principal office and mailing address of Center Mass Arms, LLC.
The business registered to change its address in June from 72 Lusitano Lane in Martinsburg.
The gun dealer lists a variety of firearms inventory on its website, such as rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers.
Center Mass Arms' articles of organization to the WVSOS office list the business purpose as the "Internet sale of firearms, with occasional gun auctions." It also states little or no inventory is kept on site.
Center Mass Arms is listed in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms FFL database.
David Overholser's relationship with the decedent is not known at this time.
