Fall Forest Fire Season Starts Monday, October 01, 2012
The West Virginia Division of Forestry reminds residents that the state’s fall forest fire season starts on Monday, October 01, 2012, and runs through Monday, December 31, 2012.
During these three months, daytime burning is prohibited from the hours of 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Outdoor burning is permitted only between the hours of 5:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
State law requires a ring or safety strip around outdoor fires to keep the fire from spreading into the woods.
This safety strip must be cleared of all burnable material and be at least 10 feet wide completely around the debris pile.
Additional requirements of the state’s fire laws include staying on-site until the fire is completely extinguished, and only burning vegetative materials like leaves, brush and yard clippings.
If you allow a fire you have started to escape and it causes a wildfire or forest fire, you will be subject to fines ranging from $100 to $1,000.
An additional civil penalty of $200 also will be assessed against you.
G-Fin™: Pricey Gasoline Hits U.S. Consumers, Weighs on Growth
U.S. households stretched to pay for costlier gasoline on meager income growth in August, undercutting spending on other items and pointing to lackluster economic growth.
Other data on Friday showed factory activity in the Midwest contracted this month for the first time in three years.
The Commerce Department said consumer spending rose 0.5% last month after gaining 0.4% in July.
The increase was the largest in six months, but it reflected a rise in gasoline costs that pushed inflation up by the most in nearly 1-1/2 years.
Adjusting for the jump in prices, spending edged up a scant 0.1%. With inflation wiping out their buying power, consumers curbed their saving to fund purchases—a potentially bad omen for future spending.
Income ticked up 0.1% but was down 0.3% after accounting for inflation and taxes. It was the first decline in real disposable income since November.
With inflation-adjusted spending barely rising last month, real consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of U.S. economic activity, is unlikely to grow much more than the tepid 1.5% annual pace recorded in the April-June period.
FACTORIES LOSING STEAM
Separately, the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago said its Midwest factory barometer found activity contracted this month for the first time since September 2009, reflecting weak new orders and a slowdown in hiring.
It was consistent with other recent reports flagging a cooling in manufacturing, a sector that had been the pillar of the economy’s recovery.
But households appear little perturbed by the gathering dark clouds. Consumer confidence touched a four-month high in September, boosted by higher stock market prices and gains in home values. That resilience could be a boost to President Barack Obama as he seeks a second term in November.
Economists, however, cautioned that household morale could sour towards the end of the year if the U.S. Congress fails to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff—$600 billion or so in expiring tax cuts and government spending reductions set to take hold in 2013.
The mixed data sent U.S. stocks lower. However, Wall Street recorded its best third quarter since 2010. Prices for U.S. Treasury debt pushed higher, supported by doubts over the chances for success of debt-ridden Spain’s 2013 budget. The dollar rose against the euro, advancing for a second straight week.
TROUBLE GAINING STEAM
Slower consumer spending and a drop in farm inventories due to a severe drought in the Midwest held gross domestic product growth to a 1.3% pace in the second quarter, a step down from 2% in the first three months of the year.
Growth estimates for the third quarter range from 1.2% to 2.1%. Spending last month was funded by cutting back on saving, which economists said put households on shaky ground, particularly if income taxes go up in January.
Inflation pressures picked up last month on the back of the 28.2 cents per gallon rise in gasoline prices. A price index for personal spending increased 0.4%, the largest rise since March last year, taking the 12-month gain up to 1.5% from 1.3% in July.
However, a measure which strips out food and energy costs, rose only 0.1% from July. Year-on-year that core measure was up 1.6%, the same as in July and the fifth straight month of increases below 2%.
The Federal Reserve has a 2% inflation target and the still-moderate pace of inflation should give it comfort to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance for a while as it seeks to spur job growth and domestic demand.

WVU and Marshall Football Results - 09.29.12
Smith Throws for 8 TD’s as No. 9 WVU Wins Shootout with Baylor
Geno Smith had a record-breaking performance in West Virginia’s Big 12 debut.
Smith set school marks with eye-popping totals of 656 passing yards and eight touchdown throws as the ninth-ranked Mountaineers prevailed, 70-63, in a shootout with the No. 25 Baylor Bears.
The Heisman Trophy candidate ended with a school-best 45 completions on 51 attempts for the Mountaineers (4-0, 1-0 Big 12).
Nick Florence was equally impressive for Baylor (3-1, 0-1), throwing for 581 yards and five touchdowns.
But it wasn’t enough for the Bears, who had their winning streak snapped at nine games.
The Mountaineers scored a touchdown on each of their first three drives in the second half to build a 56-35 lead.
Smith and Tavon Austin connected on scoring strikes of 45 and 52 yards before the Bears’ Aaron Jones missed a 46-yard field goal. Baylor had gone three-and- out on its first second-half possession, an anomaly in this offensive showcase.
On West Virginia’s next series, Smith heaved a perfectly placed deep ball to Stedman Bailey, who made the catch in stride for a 47-yard gain. The downfield strike set up a 1-yard plunge by Andrew Buie.
Florence countered with a 37-yard TD pass to Terrance Williams, and the Baylor quarterback added a short TD run 46 seconds into the fourth quarter.
However, the Bears’ momentum was immediately quelled because of a blown coverage that led to Smith finding an uncovered Bailey for an 87-yard touchdown on the first play of the ensuing drive.
Florence responded by capping an 86-yard march with a 7-yard TD pass to Antwan Goodley, but Bailey answered with his fifth touchdown—a 39-yard reception—on the subsequent West Virginia series.
Baylor refused to go away quietly as Williams finished off a 10-play drive with an 8-yard grab in the end zone with 3:08 to play.
Dustin Garrison, though, ran for 17 yards on third down and the Mountaineers ran out the clock.
Florence’s first pass attempt went through the hands of Tevin Reese and was picked off by Darwin Cook. His next throw, following a missed 50-yard field goal by West Virginia’s Tyler Bitancurt, to Williams resulted in a 50-yard gain that set Baylor up at the Mountaineers’ 14-yard line. The Bears then reached the end zone after three consecutive runs by Jarred Salubi.
After trading scores, West Virginia tied the game at 14-14 on J.D. Woods’ 7- yard touchdown reception with 42 seconds remaining in a high-paced first quarter.
It’s hard to believe the pace actually quickened in the second quarter as the teams combined for 42 points. Smith threw touchdown passes of 47, 20 and two yards to Bailey, the last of which came with 29 seconds remaining and gave West Virginia a 35-28 lead.
But that was more than enough time for Florence, who hooked up with Lanear Sampson for a 67-yard scoring strike on the final play of the first half. If not for Jones pushing a 33-yard field wide right earlier in the second quarter, Baylor would have led at halftime.
Game Notes:
The teams combined for 1,507 yards of offense ... Bailey had 303 yards on 13 receptions, while Austin caught 14 passes for 215 yards ... Bailey became West Virginia’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions with 26 ... Austin passed David Saunders to become the Mountaineers’ all-time leader in receiving yards with 2,684 ... Florence connected on 29 of his 47 passes ... Williams set school records with 17 catches and 314 receiving yards ... Glasco Martin had two rushing touchdowns for Baylor ... Baylor registered 34 first downs, one more than the Mountaineers ... West Virginia was 12-for-15 on third down conversions, compared to Baylor’s 11-of-16 success rate.
Defense Leads Purdue Past Marshall 51-41
Quarterback Caleb TerBush had the Purdue offense ready to score any time it needed to Saturday.
The only thing that stopped the Boilermakers was their own defense.
TerBush threw four touchdown passes Saturday, Purdue returned two interceptions for scores and the Boilermakers finally came up with a big stop late to hold off Marshall’s second-half charge for a 51-41 victory.
Turns out the Boilermakers (3-1) needed every big play they could get in a wild game that took players, fans and even the coaches on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
Fans appeared poised for an early postgame celebration when Purdue picked off three passes in nine plays during the second quarter, turning each into touchdowns as they built a 42-14 lead.
Early in the fourth quarter, they were gasping as Marshall (2-3) trimmed Purdue’s four-touchdown lead to 45-35, and they couldn’t relax again until Marshall lost a fumble in the final minute.
On the field, the scene was just as remarkable.
Marshall coach Doc Holliday left the field with a gash on his face, unwilling to say what happened, as the teams combined for 977 yards and ran so many plays (181) that a postgame recount showed two more than the previous announcement at game’s end.
TerBush finished 27 of 37 for 294 yards with four TDs, three to Gary Bush, and one interception — mediocre numbers on this day.
Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato went 45 of 68 for 439 yards with five touchdowns, three to Gator Hoskins, and the three interceptions. He threw more times and completed more passes than any opponent in Purdue history, breaking the marks set by Illinois quarterback Jack Trudeau in 1985.
Receiver Tommy Shuler caught 19 passes for 200 yards, breaking Marshall’s single-game record for receptions (15) set most recently by Josh Davis in 2004.
But that was of little consolation to the Thundering Herd.
Somehow, though, on a day when the two high-powered offenses dominated the game, Purdue’s defense proved to be the difference.
It started with Antoine Lewis’ interception off a dropped ball. Five plays later, TerBush hooked up with Bush for a 35-yard score to make it 21-14.
Three plays after that, Ricardo Allen stepped in front of a Marshall receiver, caught the ball and sprinted 39 yards down the left side of the field. It was his fourth career TD off of an interception, breaking the school record that he previously shared with Mike Rose and Rod Woodson.
On the ensuing series, Josh Johnson jumped the route, caught Cato’s throw in stride and was so far ahead of anyone else on the field that nobody chased him on the 76-yard return. It marked the first time in school history that Purdue scored twice on interception returns in the same game.
The Boilermakers needed every point.
Cato opened the second half with a 28-yard TD pass to Hoskins to make it 42-21, and after Derek Mitchell returned a blocked punt 35 yards for a score, Marshall was within 42-28.
Purdue answered with a 34-yard field goal, but Cato delivered with a 1-yard TD pass to Hoskins to get Marshall back into the game at 45-35 with 12:53 to go.
“The momentum gets to you, and you just play,“ Cato said.
TerBush responded by settling down the Boilermakers offense and leading them on a methodical drive that finally took some time off the clock. He capped the drive with a 7-yard TD pass to Bush, making 51-35. Bush had seven catches for 83 yards.
“I was just in the right place at the right time,“ Bush said. “Some games you don’t get the ball that much, some games you do. Today was my lucky day.“
Marshall, the nation’s No. 1 passing team, refused to go away.
Cato’s 15-yard TD pass to Craig Wilkins with 3:47 left made it 51-41, and it wasn’t until Purdue’s Will Lucas finally recovered Cato’s with 48 seconds left that the Boilermakers could, finally, celebrate their final non-conference tuneup. ~~ AP ~~
GSC Defeats Hilltopers 17-14
On Saturday, Charleston, Glenville State, Shepherd and West Virginia State all earned WVIAC victories. West Virginia Wesleyan notched a non-conference win.
Glenville State 17, West Liberty 14
Glenville State picked up a 17-14 victory at West Liberty Saturday afternoon in a WVIAC contest.
The Pioneers opened the scoring with 9:03 to play in the first quarter. Darold Hughes hit Darian Cleckley for a six-yard score. The extra point made it 7-0. GSC pushed it to 14-0 when Orlandus Harris hauled in Hughes’ second touchdown strike of the first quarter.
The Hilltoppers sliced the deficit in half with 9:11 to play before intermission. Isiah Moody took the hand-off and rushed 15 yards to the end-zone.
A 47-yard field goal by Eddie McKay 3:24 into the third frame made it 17-7 in favor of the visitors.
With 7:26 to go in the game, Kenjay Trueblood ran it in from two yards out to make it 17-14. The Hilltoppers had a chance to tie or win the game in the closing minutes, but the squad threw four consecutive incompletions.

Harris caught four passes for 73 yards and a score while Cleckley hauled in five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown. Rahmann Lee rushed for 81 yards.

West Virginia State 21, Seton Hill 13
West Virginia State scored 21 unanswered points en route to a 21-13 road win at Seton Hill.
The Griffins jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on two field goals by Josh Cavalier. He booted the first one from 41 yards out and the second from 42.
SHU made it 13-0 when Derrick Dyer rushed for a 31-yard gain just eight seconds into the second quarter. The Yellow Jackets made it a 13-7 game with 8:15 to play before intermission when Ricky Phillips scored on a one-yard plunge. The drive covered 74 yards on 11 plays and took 6:28 off the clock.
Just 59 seconds into the fourth quarter, Shanin Bennefield hauled in a 35-yard strike from Phillips. The ensuing extra point from Sean Hayton gave WVSU a 14-13 edge. With just 2:52 to play in the contest, Phillips hit Ervin Kent for a 26-yard score. The point after made it 21-13.
The Griffins had a chance to tie, but Ryan Morris was intercepted at the 25-yard line with just over a minute to play.
Phillips hit 18 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Kent had six catches for a game-high 90 yards and a score. Tyler Long totaled a team-high 11 tackles for the Yellow Jackets. William Merritt added six, including five of which were solo stops. Charles Eskew and Durelle Evans each had an interception.
Morris threw for 266 yards on 31 completions for SHU. DJ Carter caught seven passes for 65 yards while Mike Allen picked up 77 yards receiving on six catches. Dyer rushed for 62 yards and a score. Tyler Zimmer notched a game-high 14 tackle. Robert Jordan had an interception. SHU’s defense was strong, limiting the Yellow Jackets to 56 yards on the ground.
Charleston 30, Fairmont State 10
The University of Charleston rebounded from a close loss to Shepherd a week ago to defeat Fairmont State 30-10 Saturday in a WVIAC contest.
The Golden Eagles opened the scoring with a 56-yard pass from John Knox to Chris Maxwell in the first quarter on a drive that took just five plays. The Falcons knotted the score on a 38-yard punt return for a score by Ryland Newman at the 2:58 mark of the stanza.
UC took a 9-7 lead in the second quarter when Jordan Roberts blocked a punt and was recovered by FSU in the end-zone for a safety. After getting the ball back, Roberts scampered 45 yards for a touchdown, giving the home team a 16-7 lead at the break.
Knox’s one-yard plunge in the third made it 23-7 with 4:51 to go in the third. The Falcons quickly countered with a 31-yard field goal by Johnny Dearstine. However, Knox ended the scoring late in the third period when he connected on a 55-yard pass to Darrell Byrd with 1:26 to go.
Knox completed 10 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Maxwell caught two passes for 71 yards and a score. Roberts rushed for a game-high 148 yards on 24 carries. Matt Duncan led the defense with six tackles, including a sack. Nathaniel Berry and Jeff Green each had two sacks.
Bobby Vega totaled 171 yards through the air on 13 completions for the Falcons. Matt Wilmer hauled in a game-high four catches for 63 yards. Daniel Monroe rushed for 83 yards on 15 carries. Jephte Leveille posted a game-best nine stops, including a sack. Garrett Davis added eight tackles and two quarterback hurries.
Shepherd 20, Concord 6
Shepherd returned home for just the second time this season and defeated Concord by a 20-6 contest Saturday afternoon.
Randall Hawkins hauled in a 57-yard strike from Albert Rose with 6:04 to play in the first quarter, giving the Mountain Lions a 6-0 advantage. The ensuing extra point was blocked.
The Rams’ defense stiffened the rest of the way, not allowing CU to strike again.
SU got on the board with a field goal just 10 seconds into the second quarter. Ryan Earls connected from 22 yards out, capping a 16-play drive. The Rams took the lead four minutes later when Allen Cross followed his blocks and found the end-zone from four yards out.
SU’s DJ Scott made it 17-6 with 1:04 to play in the third when he returned a blocked field goal attempt 71 yards for a touchdown. The Rams concluded the scoring when Earls booted a 30-yard field goal with 6:34 to go.
SU was led by Bobby Cooper’s 168 yards through the air on 14 completions. A trio of receivers had three catches apiece. William McKenzie hauled in a team-high 55 yards. Mike Haynes rushed for a game-high 79 yards while Cross added 34 to go along with his touchdown. Defensively, Keon Robinson accounted for 10 solo tackles and an interception. De’Ontre Johnson amassed eight solo tackles and two interceptions.
In the loss, Rose threw for 376 yards on 30 completions with a touchdown. Hawkins caught a career-high 16 passes for 178 yards and a score. Ansel Ponder hauled in 135 receiving yards on nine receptions. Defensively, Davon Marion had a team-best 10 tackles. Silas Agyemang had six stops, including three tackles for a loss. Kevin Elliott also posted six stops and had an interception.
West Virginia Wesleyan 33, Urbana 21
West Virginia Wesleyan picked up its second straight win after posting a 33-21 victory over visiting Urbana.
The Bobcats jumped out to a 20-0 lead with 10:03 left in the third quarter and never looked back.
Nyquan McGirt hauled in a 32-yard pass from Nate Montana to open the scoring at the 10:32 mark of the first quarter. Kasper Bernild added field goals of 31 and 42 yards, respectively, to make it a 13-0 at the break.
Montana opened the scoring in the second half when he hit Lavaughn Hughes for a 19-yard strike at the 10:03 mark of the third. Urbana countered with 14 points over a 4:51 span late in the third quarter to make it a 20-14 contest.
However, the Bobcats pounced on their opposition when Jermichael Kelley intercepted a pass and ran it back 21 yards for a touchdown. Leading 26-14, Montana found Chase Blackwell for an eight-yard score, capping a seven-play, 64-yard drive that spanned 2:22. Urbana scored a touchdown with 6:04 to play, but WVWC easily held on for the win.
In the victory, Montana tallied 341 yards through the air on 27 completions and three touchdowns. Malcolm Yowk totaled a team-best 64 yards on 15 carries. Blackwell totaled 94 receiving yards on nine receptions and a score. Hughes and McGirt accounted for the other two touchdown catches. The offense rolled up 421 yards of total offense in the game. Defensively, John Maddox notched 14 total tackles, 13 of which were solo stops. Jared Fleo, Jesse Robertson and Jonas Celian all had a sack. Celian also had an interception. Kelley and Haussan Burton also picked off Urbana.

G-Comm™: How Do You Take Your Poison?
One way or another the corporate hemlock will be shoved down our throats. Corporate power, no matter who is running the ward after January 2013, is poised to carry out U.S. history’s most savage assault against the poor and the working class, not to mention the Earth’s ecosystem. And no one in power, no matter what the bedside manner, has any intention or ability to stop it.
We will all swallow our cup of corporate poison. We can take it from nurse Romney, who will tell us not to whine and play the victim, or we can take it from nurse Obama, who will assure us that this hurts him even more than it hurts us, but one way or another the corporate hemlock will be shoved down our throats. The choice before us is how it will be administered. Corporate power, no matter who is running the ward after January 2013, is poised to carry out U.S. history’s most savage assault against the poor and the working class, not to mention the Earth’s ecosystem. And no one in power, no matter what the bedside manner, has any intention or ability to stop it.
If you insist on participating in the cash-drenched charade of a two-party democratic election at least be clear about what you are doing. You are, by playing your assigned role as the Democratic or Republican voter in this political theater, giving legitimacy to a corporate agenda that means your own impoverishment and disempowerment. All the things that stand between us and utter destitution — Medicaid, food stamps, Pell grants, Head Start, Social Security, public education, federal grants-in-aid to America’s states and cities, the Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program (WIC), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and home-delivered meals for seniors — are about to be shredded by the corporate state. Our corporate oligarchs are harvesting the nation, grabbing as much as they can, as fast as they can, in the inevitable descent.
We will be assaulted this January when automatic spending reductions, referred to as “the fiscal cliff,” begin to dismantle and defund some of our most important government programs. Mitt Romney will not stop it. Barack Obama will not stop it.
And while Romney has been, courtesy of the magazine Mother Jones, exposed as a shallow hypocrite, Obama is in a class by himself. There is hardly a campaign promise from 2008 that Obama has not broken. This list includes his pledges to support the public option in health care, close Guantanamo, raise the minimum wage, regulate Wall Street, support labor unions in their struggles with employers, reform the Patriot Act, negotiate an equitable peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, curb our imperial expansion in the Middle East, stop torture, protect reproductive rights, carry out a comprehensive immigration reform, cut the deficit by half, create 5 million new energy jobs and halt home foreclosures. Obama, campaigning in South Carolina in 2007, said that as president he would fight for the right of collective bargaining. “I’d put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I’ll … walk on that picket line with you as president of the United States of America,” he said. But when he got his chance to put on those “comfortable pair of shoes” during labor disputes in Madison, Wis., and Chicago, he turned his back on working men and women.
Obama, while promising to defend Social Security, also says he stands behind the planned cuts outlined by his deficit commission, headed by Morgan Stanley board member Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan Simpson, a Wyoming Republican. The Bowles-Simpson plan calls for cutting 0.3 percentage points from the annual cost-of-living adjustment in the Social Security program. The annual reduction would slowly accumulate. After a decade it would mean a 3 percent cut. After two decades it would mean a 6 percent cut. The retirement age would be raised to 69. And those on Social Security who continued to work and made more than $40,000 a year would be penalized with further reductions. Obama’s payroll tax cuts have, at the same time, served to undermine the solvency of Social Security, making it an easier target for the finance corporations that seek to destroy the program and privatize the funds.
But that is just the start. Cities and states are frantically staving off collapse. They cannot pay for most pension plans and are borrowing at higher and higher interest rates to keep themselves afloat. The country’s 19,000 municipalities face steadily declining or stagnant property tax revenues, along with spiraling costs. Annual pension payments for state and local plans more than doubled to 15.7 percent of payrolls in 2011 from 6.4 percent a decade ago, according to a study by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. And local governments, which made some $50 billion in pension contributions in 2010, face unfunded pension liabilities of $3 trillion and unfunded health benefit liabilities of more than $1 trillion, according to The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government. State and local government spending fell at a rate of 2.1 percent in the second quarter of this year, according to the Commerce Department. It was the 11th consecutive quarterly reduction in expenditures. And in the past year alone local governments cut 66,000 jobs, mostly those of teachers and other school employees, reported The Wall Street Journal, which accumulated this list of grim statistics.
The costs of our most basic needs, from food to education to health care, are at the same time being pushed upward with no control or regulation. Tuition and fees at four-year colleges climbed 300 percent between 1990 and 2011, fueling the college loan crisis that has left graduates, most of them underemployed or unemployed, with more than $1 trillion in debt. Health care costs over the same period have risen 150 percent. Food prices have climbed 10 percent since June, according to the World Bank. There are now 46.7 million U.S. citizens, and one in three children, who depend on food stamps. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency under Obama has, meanwhile, expelled 1.5 million immigrants, a number that dwarfs deportations carried out by his Republican predecessor. And while we are being fleeced, the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve Bank has since 2008 doled out $16 trillion to national and global financial institutions and corporations.
Fiscal implosion is only a matter of time. And the corporate state is preparing. Obama’s assault on civil liberties has outpaced that of George W. Bush. The refusal to restore habeas corpus, the use of the Authorization to Use Military Force Act to justify the assassination of U.S. citizens, the passing of the FISA Amendments Act to monitor and eavesdrop on tens of millions of citizens without a warrant, the employment of the Espionage Act six times to threaten whistle-blowers inside the government with prison time, and the administration’s recent emergency appeal of U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest’s permanent injunction of Section 1021(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act give you a hint of the shackles the Democrats, as well as the Republicans, intend to place on all those who contemplate dissent.
But perhaps the most egregious assault will be carried out by the fossil fuel industry. Obama, who presided over the repudiation of the Kyoto Accords and has done nothing to halt the emission of greenhouse gases, reversed 20 years of federal policy when he permitted the expansion of fracking and offshore drilling. And this acquiescence to big oil and big coal, no doubt useful in bringing in campaign funds, spells disaster for the planet. He has authorized drilling in federally protected lands, along the East Coast, Alaska and four miles off Florida’s Atlantic beaches. Candidate Obama in 2008 stood on the Florida coastline and vowed never to permit drilling there.
You get the point. Obama is not in charge. Romney would not be in charge. Politicians are the public face of corporate power. They are corporate employees. Their personal narratives, their promises, their rhetoric and their idiosyncrasies are meaningless. And that, perhaps, is why the cost of the two presidential campaigns is estimated to reach an obscene $2.5 billion. The corporate state does not produce a product that is different. It produces brands that are different. And brands cost a lot of money to sell.
You can dismiss those of us who will in protest vote for a third-party candidate and invest our time and energy in acts of civil disobedience. You can pride yourself on being practical. You can swallow the false argument of the lesser of two evils. But ask yourself, once this nightmare starts kicking in, who the real sucker is.

NATIONAL and Local FEEDER & STOCKER CATTLE SUMMARY - WEEK ENDING 09.28.2012
RECEIPTS: Auctions Direct Video/Internet Total
This Week 233,800 34,400 59,600 327,800

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers ended the week unevenly steady after opening the trading session on a continued higher note and then turning lower by mid-week.
Calf prices were weak to 4.00 lower across most major trading areas with the Southeastern markets suffering the full extent of the losses with fewer orders coming-in from the western states.
Tuesday’s sharply lower futures market was the catalyst for lower cash feeders this week as investment funds were suddenly pulled from Chicago’s Live Cattle pit.
Yearling buyers immediately lowered their bids in an effort to keep their purchases within ear-shot of a fully hedged position.
An easing of corn prices the last couple of weeks have aided their hedging challenges, but Friday’s limit gains on CBOT corn contracts pushed prices back on top of 7.50/bushel.
The Boards had little to do with lower calf markets, as fall weather patterns were more to blame.
Typical hot days and cool nights are taking their toll on newly purchased un-weaned calves and sick-pens are starting to swell.
Backgrounders want to take a break before taking-on additional shipments and many who farm their own wheat ground need some tractor time to sow this fall’s pasture.
A widespread moisture-packing cool front moved across much of the Southern Plains this week, allowing wheat producers to plant previously parched crop ground from eastern New Mexico to eastern Kansas.
This moisture will undoubtedly improve the demand for stocker calves later this fall, but wheat pastures need a little time and warm sunny days to sprout.
Northern Plains markets resisted much of the market pressure on both calves and yearlings this week as temperatures have been milder and farmer-feeders are wrapping up this year’s disappointing harvest.
However, supplemental feed is more plentiful in the Midwest and cattle growers are anxious to acquire their fall purchases as most believe offerings will much tighter this fall than normal.
The United Producers Market in Maryville, MO celebrated their 25th Anniversary this Tuesday by selling over 500 head in the 800-900 lb. top quality steer section with an average of 861 lbs. at 145.05.
Fed cattle prices were mostly 3.00 lower on a live basis at 123.00, while dressed sales lost 4.00-5.00 from 190.00-191.00.
This week’s reported auction volume included 39% over 600 lbs. and 43% heifers.

Ask the Doctor: Asthma May Be Triggered by Exercise
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can you figure out what’s going on with me?
I have been a daily runner for a number of years.
I mostly run on a treadmill in an air-conditioned gym, especially in the summer months.
This year, I am having breathing troubles.
About six or seven minutes into my run, I start coughing and feel like there’s a tight strap around my chest.
I have to slow down or stop.
The strange thing is that when I run outside, none of this happens. Why? - S.J.
ANSWER: You make a good case for exercise-induced asthma.
During an asthma attack, the bronchi - the airways - constrict.
Simultaneously, they start pouring out thick mucus.
Both make the passage of air into and out of the lungs most difficult.
It’s a bit like being choked.
People begin to wheeze, cough and struggle to get enough air.
Chest tightness is another symptom.
Troubles usually arise after about 10 minutes of fairly intense exercise.
If a person can continue, symptoms often lessen.
I’m not telling you to persist.
It’s wiser to stop to avoid possibly developing greater breathing difficulty.
Those already diagnosed with asthma and under treatment for it have this problem.
They’re prepared for it.
They take medicines before exercise.
The reason why you have symptoms in the air-conditioned gym but not outside most likely is due to the cooler, dry air of the gym.
That air triggers airway constriction.
Warm, moist air is less likely to do so.
You cannot depend on my guess to start treatment for exercise-induced asthma.
The diagnosis has to be proven.
That’s best done in the doctor’s office. The doctor has you take a breathing test before you exercise, and then has you exercise on a treadmill. When symptoms appear, he or she gives you another breathing test. A change in the amount of air getting to your lungs indicates the airways have constricted.
Medicines can prevent these attacks.
Inhaling a medicine like Proventil 10 minutes before exercise keeps the airways opened.
Or you can take an oral medicine like Singulair.
You have to take it at least two hours before exercising, but its effects last for a full 12 hours.
Or you can skip all this and limit yourself to outdoor running in warm weather.

It shines pale yellow-orange.
Double Impact
You don’t have to knock down all the bowling pins with a single roll — you can always try to pick up the spare. And the same thing may apply to Uranus, the solar system’s third-largest planet.
Instead of standing more or less upright, as the other planets do, Uranus lies on its side, so its axis aligns roughly with the plane of its orbit around the Sun.
The consensus has been that Uranus was knocked over by a single large impact — a collision with another planet-sized body. But one recent study suggests the planet’s orientation is the result of a few smaller impacts, not a single giant one.
The study was conducted by a team of European scientists. They found that if Uranus had suffered a single impact early in its history, then its moons would all orbit backwards — in the opposite direction from Uranus’s rotation — but they don’t. When the scientists used two or more smaller impacts, though, their simulations matched what we see today. That suggests that Uranus is the equivalent of a spare, not a strike — a planet that was knocked over by more than one planetary bowling ball.
Uranus is putting its best showing of the year now — it rises around sunset and is in the sky all night. It’s brightest for the year, too. But you need dark skies and binoculars to find it. Tonight, it’s well to the upper right of the Moon. But it’ll be easier to see in the nights ahead, as the Moon leaves the planet behind.
TRUTH OR TRADITION? – #190
When Christ comes again, He will set up a kingdom here on earth and reign on the throne of David for one thousand years. Truth or Tradition?
At His First Coming.
“And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.” Mark 9:1. If Jesus spoke the truth here, wouldn’t the kingdom have come during the lifetime of those living then?
Not Observable.
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21. If Jesus were going to set up a kingdom here on earth and reign on David’s throne, wouldn’t it be observable? How do you get a literal, earthly kingdom within folks? Does He not already reign within the hearts of all those who submit their lives to Him? Is His kingdom not spiritual in nature?
Not Of This World.
“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” John 18:36. If He were to reign on this earth on David’s throne in Jerusalem, wouldn’t His kingdom be of this world?
Came To Be King.
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answsered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world…” John 18:37. Did He accomplish His end…His goal in being born? Did He finish His purpose in coming into the world? In His prayer in the upper room He said: “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” John 17:4. If He came to be king, and He finished the work He came to do, wouldn’t He already have a kingdom?
At His Coming.
Speaking of the resurrection at His second coming, Paul wrote: “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.” 1 Cor. 15:24-25. Then cometh the end of what? How could He deliver up a kingdom to God that didn’t exist? Was He not already reigning when Paul wrote that?
Translated Into.
“Giving thanks unto the Father….Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Col. 1:12-13,
How could folks be translated into a kingdom that didn’t exist? If you would like to discuss these Scriptures more fully, give me a call. 304.462.0384 “ghmiller@rtol.net”

Braxton County Attorney Gets Probation For Embezzlement
The WV Record Reports:
A Braxton County attorney will remain a free man after admitting to embezzling nearly $75,000 from a trust account he was appointed to oversee.
Thomas J. Drake on September 13, 2012 was indicted via information on a single charge of embezzlement. According to the indictment, Drake converted $70,798.57 belonging to the ATS Settlement Trust between July 2009 and August 2011.
No details are provided about the trust, and when Drake was made its trustee. The only other information available is that Drake’s embezzlement of the funds took place in Elkview.
In exchange for agreeing to plead guilty, Assistant Kanawha County Prosecutor Rob Schulenburg offered to recommend Drake get probation for a term to be determined by Judge James C. Stucky. Also, as a condition of his probation, Drake was to make court-ordered restitution.
As of press-time, Stucky’s sentencing order was not available. According to his attorney William C. Forbes, Stucky placed Drake on two years probation.
The amount of restitution, Forbes said, has yet to be recommended by the probation office.
According to the state Bar’s Web site, Drake, 36, is a sole practitioner in Gassaway, WV. He was admitted to the Bar on September 26, 2000.

Tomblin Raises $1.2M, Maintains Money Edge in WV Governor’s Race
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has raised another $1.2 million toward his re-election bid.
The Democratic incumbent attracted most of that from a series of fundraising events between May 21, 2012 and last weekend.
The haul gave Tomblin more than twice the funds on hand as Republican Bill Maloney.
Tomblin reported a $618,000 campaign balance to Maloney’s $264,000.
Tomblin’s GOP opponent raised nearly $470,000 during the reporting period.
But Maloney also loaned his campaign $250,000.
A Morgantown business owner, Maloney largely self-financed his run for governor last year.
Tomblin narrowly won that special election for an unexpired term.
The office is now up for a full, four year term.
The candidates will file one more round of reports before the November election.
History’s “Hatfields & McCoys” Miniseries Receives Five Emmy Awards
The success of the History channel’s recent “Hatfields & McCoys” miniseries continues to shine brightly, winning five Emmy Awards. Kevin Costner and Tom Berenger received Emmy Awards at last Sunday’s 64th Primetime Emmy Awards. Costner, who portrayed “Devil” Anse Hatfield and Berenger, who portrayed Jim Vance, received Outstanding Lead Actor and Supporting Actor, respectively, in a miniseries or movie.
The miniseries, which broke cable viewing records for non-sports, ad-supported cable during Memorial Day weekend, has brought an enormous amount of positive attention to the Mountain State, according to Betty Carver, commissioner of the West Virginia Division of Tourism. “Local leaders in the Hatfield-McCoy region have told us that they have seen a tremendous increase in tourism traffic to visit the real locations and learn more about one of America’s most famous feuds.“
Milton native and Marshall University alum Darrell Fetty co-produced the three-part miniseries, which received a total of 16 Emmy nominations.
Fetty also produced, along with Thinkfactory Media, a companion documentary, “America’s Greatest Feud: The History of the Hatfields & McCoys,“ the majority of which was filmed in West Virginia by Huntington-based Trifecta Productions.
Narrated by Costner, it also aired on History. “The Film Office was thrilled to provide support to Fetty and Trifecta during their filming in the state,“ said Pam Haynes, director of the West Virginia Film Office. “Having such a prominent documentary appear on a major cable network attests to the fact that our workforce is top-notch,“ she added.
Fetty returns to West Virginia this Sunday to sit on a panel with historians Fred Armstrong and Bill Richardson to discuss the making of “Hatfields & McCoys.“ Sponsored by the West Virginia Historical Society, the event begins at 2:30 PM in the Archives & History Library of the WV Division of Culture and History at the Capitol Complex in Charleston.
And the Hatfield-McCoy region is going to keep staying in the news with the recent announcement of another television show set to air on October 06, 2012.
The channel, History-2, will broadcast “How the States Got Their Shapes” at 8:00 PM, which will feature game show-like contests between descendants from both families and take a more lighthearted look at the famous feud, including a pair of re-enactors dressed as Randall McCoy and “Devil” Anse Hatfield.
According to Richardson, a WVU Extension Associate Professor, host Brian Unger and the production crew filmed in Williamson, Logan and eastern Kentucky during the recent annual Hatfield-McCoy Reunion Festival. “The show is known for addressing issues of history and geography in a fun and entertaining way,“ Richardson said.
The miniseries is available on Blu-Ray™ and DVD through History’s website at www.history.com.

Today IS Prescription Drug Take Back Across the State
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin today encouraged all West Virginians to collect their unused, unwanted prescription drugs and dispose of them today, Saturday, September 29, 2012, at participating National Drug Take Back Day locations.
“We must all work together—pharmacists, doctors, mothers and fathers—to keep prescription drugs out of the wrong hands. Through take back events, we can each do our part and remove unwanted, unused prescription drugs from the street,” Governor Tomblin said. “Throughout the past year I, and my administration, along with local, county and state leaders, have worked hard rid our hometowns of the drug abuse epidemic. While we’re making progress, we still have work to do. Events such as tomorrow’s National Drug Take Back Day empower us to take a stand and help clean-up our communities while protecting our families.”
Again, Saturday, September 29, 2012, is the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s fifth National Drug Take Back Day.

WVU SGA Video Discourages Couch Burning Tradition
“Save a couch, don’t burn one.“
That’s the new message behind a video produced by the WVU Student Government Association.
The video addresses the ceremonial couch burnings in Morgantown. WVU students have built a reputation as couch burners after big football games and during raucous parties.
The SGA posted the video online Thursday. It features about 10 students and the Mountaineer on a couch in the middle of Mountaineer Field.
“Couches are for sitting, and sleeping, and losing your remote,“ the video says. “Where else would you keep spare change? Or watch the Mountaineers?“
Morgantown city officials have been adamant about stopping street and dumpster fires in the city. During St. Patrick’s Day parties earlier this year, dozens of fires were set and citations issues.
Council members have also wondered if major fire problems await the city if WVU wins crucial games against top-ranked Big 12 opponents later this year.
The video reminds students that burning a couch in Morgantown can result in arrests, fines, expulsion and, ultimately, having to sleep on their parents’ couch.
The video ends with, “Be smart. Celebrate with class. Let’s go Mountaineers!“
Trace Adkins Says He’s Excitef for Today’s Game
A Grammy winning country music star says he is honored to have the opportunity to sing the National Anthem on Saturday in Morgantown before West Virginia University takes on Baylor University.
“When I’m out there on that field doing the National Anthem, I’m going to have goose bumps all over me,“ Trace Adkins said on MetroNews Talkline.
The Louisiana native will walk onto Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium to sing, a cappella, before the 12 p.m. kickoff time.
It’s a performance that, Adkins says, he cannot take lightly. “I am always nervous when I do the Anthem,“ Adkins admitted. “If you mess that one up, you’re on YouTube for the rest of your life.“
In the past, Adkins has performed the National Anthem at the World Series, other football games and NASCAR races.
He says he has a strategy. “The key is to start out in the basement,“ he said. “‘O say, can you see,‘ needs to be as low as you can sing.“
Adkins will be flying into Morgantown on Saturday morning before moving on to Lexington, Kentucky for a concert on Saturday night. He say it’s a performance stop that was scheduled because of a number of connections to both teams.
Greg Baker, a West Virginia native, is Adkins’ road manager. Baker grew up in Fort Spring in Greenbrier County and met with WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck at this year’s Greenbrier Classic about the idea.
Luck had contacted Baker after reportedly having a conversation with Baylor Women’s Basketball Coach Kim Mulkey.
Mulkey and Adkins went to college together at Louisiana Tech University. Adkins sang the National Anthem for a Baylor Lady Bears event at one point and admitted then to having a crush on Mulkey when the two were in school together.
His performance of the National Anthem on Saturday will mark only the third time someone has performed the song live at Mountaineer Field. The others are “America’s Got Talent” Winner Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. and Kathy Mattea, both West Virginia natives.
“Man, I had no idea,“ Adkins says of the short list. “I am just incredibly honored by this opportunity.“
Adkins released his latest song, called “Tough People Do,“ in early September after performing it at the Republican National Convention. He plans to have a new album out in early 2013.
