New App Allows WV Voters to Track Their Provisional Ballot
A new application on the Secretary of State’s website allows voters who cast a provisional, or “challenged,” ballot during the 2012 primary election to check the status of that ballot.
The feature can be found by visiting the Secretary of State’s website at www.wvsos.com and clicking on the “Provisional Ballot Search” banner at the top of the page.
To check the status of a provisional ballot, a voter must enter their first and last name and their date of birth. A voter must also enter either the last four digits of their Social Security Number or their driver’s license number.
After entering that data, the voter will be taken to a page that will show them if their ballot was or was not counted during their county’s canvass. The county commission in each county sits as a Board of Canvassers beginning five days after an election to carefully examine each provisional ballot and makes a legal decision on whether each provisional ballot should or should not be counted.
“Finding out whether your provisional ballot was counted is on the West Virginia Voter’s Bill of Rights,” Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant said. “This app on our website adds even more transparency to our elections process. I encourage every West Virginian who cast a provisional ballot during the primary to utilize this search feature.”
The provisional ballot search utilizes data entered by all 55 West Virginia counties into the Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS), which is maintained by the Secretary of State’s Office.

AMERICA: Desperate Times Demand Revolutionary Measures
AMERICA: Desperate Times Demand Revolutionary Measures
Towards Sociopolitical-Environmental Collapse
“Don’t waste any more time or energy on the presidential election than it takes to get to your polling station and pull a lever for a third-party candidate-—just enough to register your obstruction and defiance—and then get back out onto the street. That is where the question of real power is being decided.” Chris Hedges, May 2012
Runway capitalism is moving unrelentingly towards sociopolitical-environmental collapse—cheered on by a two-headed single party machine known as the U.S. Congress.
Activists, who see the coming disasters as catastrophic, are seeking revolutionary change through non-cooperation, and occupy disruptions. Yet, many are the still delusional hopefuls desperately fumbling with traditional responses; including “Kum ba yah” marches, and the futile support for progressive left-leaning candidates seeking positions of influence inside the Washington beltway.
Do we understand that habeas corpus is no longer a legal protection in the U.S. or that the U.S. president can torture and kill American citizens, let along anyone in the world?
How can we ignore the inconvenient truths of warrantless wire taps and electronic monitoring for everyone?
Why do we tolerate that U.S.-NATO forces killing people in over one hundred countries in the world using special service operatives, private assassins and drones—a million civilians deaths in Iraq alone?
How can we be so blind as not to see our corporate media is a propaganda fog machine for the 1%?
These questions, reflecting the reality of America today, are so far from the values of our traditions that accepting any aspect of authority from Washington DC is a sacrilege to our honor.
We are in desperate times.
In Congress, wealth begets membership, and wealth is the reward for correct action.
The members in the House and Senate have a collective net worth of $2.04 billion, up from $1.65 billion, in 2008.
While at the same time, Americans’ household net worth has continued to decline and the number of people living in poverty has risen for the fifth year in a row.
The American Congress is in reality an artificial organization serving as cheerleader to the transnational corporate class of the world.
Congress offers its members little more than a transitional path into the good life of corporate affluence as long as the members remain loyal to party discipline.
Our legitimate electoral process has been completely usurped by the Supreme Court ruling that a corporation’s free speech rights allow unlimited campaign spending, and congressional lobbying knows no bounds.
Any candidate willing to serve in the Democrat or Republican parties in the U.S. congress today, even as a gadfly of resistance, is stepping beyond the pale of constitutional government.
Even if a Progressive Democrat of America—Moves On into the congressional circle, the magnitude of compromise demanded makes effective action impossible other than occasional symbolic votes of resistance. Those stepping out of party lines will invariably result in orchestrated opposition during the next selection cycle — Just ask Cynthia McKinney.
Reform is not an option.
The only action possible is a complete and total return to the social justice values of our U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
We cannot allow extrajudicial killings, privacy invasions into our homes, and police state interceptions in the commons.
We cannot allow global capitalism to continue to kill and impoverish billions of people and destroy the planet.
Protecting and even rewriting our Constitution and our Bill of Rights will require revolutionary acts.
We must retool our elections and eliminate/ignore the dark clouds of corporate media.
A mass movement at this level requires grass roots action by a core of at least 10% of our population. Getting one out of ten people actively involved is not at all impossible; this is where our traditional values meet human rights. We are a people of hope that only need to overcome our fears and find the voice of our values by using radical democracy for human betterment for all.
The right to vote is a long held value. We are often asked, “Why waste your vote on an independent third party candidate, who will never have a chance to win.” Can voting for a candidate who reflects your own political values and beliefs be a wasted vote?
It seems that voting for your true beliefs is a self-actualizing act, and compromising one’s values to pick the lesser of two evils is self-alienating. Therefore, we urge all to continue to vote, but find candidates outside of the two party oligopoly. Maybe someday, self-actualized voting will be fashionable.

G-Comm™: Life Beyond War
The vision and possible shape of a world beyond war has modified since the lessening of superpower tensions between the United States and the now long-departed U.S.S.R. In the late 1980s, hopes for a peaceful world primarily involved the successful abolition of nuclear weapons. As Jonathan Schell has written, while inadvertent nuclear war is more probable than ever before, nuclear abolition begins to look relatively easy in the context of emerging global environmental challenges. Nuclear weapons themselves have become one more of our many ecological problems: even a small regional nuclear exchange could fatally affect agricultural production worldwide over decades, cancelling out the security benefits for any nation of possessing these weapons.
Glaciers melt and mean temperatures rise year by year. At what point do officials distracted by mutual nuclear threats start to take in the bigger picture—that the real “existential threat” to their security might be, say, the unleashing of an irreversible cycle in the thawing of methane gas presently frozen within the Arctic tundra, gas that could dangerously accelerate global warming trends? The issues that the planet faces in the second decade of the 21st century, a population that has overshot available resources, fast-rising CO2 levels, the exhaustion of marine life or the pollution of oceans, can be resolved neither by war nor by the deterrent effect of massive arsenals of weaponry—though failure to address such challenges proactively could well lead to unimaginable violence. Time and again experts have testified how much more efficient it would be to prevent wars by directly addressing human needs. Vastly less money is required to preventatively solve worldwide population growth and medical care and equitable distribution of food than the present unsustainable cost of extended wars of uncertain outcome.
Giving up war at this moment in history resembles an addict giving up his addiction, only to find he must face not only life without the crutch of drink or drugs, but also address the underlying life-challenges the drink or drugs allowed him to avoid. It involves a painful awakening from a trance, a giving up of resistance to reality as we come to see where and who we really are.
How bizarre that the most powerful nation on earth applies roughly 1800 different bureaucratic organizations to the admittedly serious problem of terrorism, yet it is not politically viable for the presumptive nominee of one of the two major parties to entertain the possibility that global climate change may be affected by human behavior. Even the incumbent is not leading aggressively on the issue. Meanwhile the United States military itself remains the single greatest source of environmental pollution on the planet, and continues to be the single greatest drain of monetary resources.
Simplistic, deeply distracting “either/or” thinking renders much our political discourse silly and unreal: to be Christian or Jewish is to be closed to possible good ideas coming out of Islam; to be Democratic is to be closed to possible good ideas coming from Republicans, to be culturally liberal is to be closed to possible good ideas coming from cultural conservatives. The reality of our interdependence suggests instead that people on both sides of any supposed polarity, Arab or Jew, atheist or believer, gay or straight, conservative or progressive, needs to accept that the “other” may have something invaluable to offer as we all try to prevent our collapse as a species. In the energy we expend defining what we are against, we resemble all too closely the extremists we revile.
But even if we think of ourselves as progressive and open, we are mired involuntarily in an against paradigm. Those in the “developed” world who assume we live quite modestly still find ourselves among a 1 percent who are fortunate to have access to resources much less available to the other 99 percent. If everyone on earth used the same amount of energy and resources I use, it would take X number of planets to sustain us all, and we only have one. Because there are too many of me, the way I live, in spite of my good intentions, my token gestures, my recycling, my refusal to use weed-killer, the sheer size of my ecological footprint keeps me stubbornly against the health and sustainability of the whole. I need help and maybe I can help you.
The so-called “advanced” countries can no longer function as “technocratic colonialists” who assume that “our” oil is under the sand of peoples undergoing development in their own unique way—especially if we want terrorism to end.
Life beyond war, so far from looking like a peaceable kingdom, will require the strengthening of global institutions based upon the reality of interdependence and the potential intensification of conflict over limited resources. This challenge will stretch our creativity and good will to the same limit that war has stretched our destructive powers and capacity to dehumanize adversaries.
In so many ways and places, the needful work has already begun, taking form in the millions of bottom-up organizations that are trying sustainable ways of farming, banking, or manufacturing processes that enhance rather than degrade the finite commons. But it is hard to avoid the sense that both leaders and citizens are still in denial about the kinds of transnational institutions and enforcements we will have to create in the next few decades in order to survive.
As long as we continue to participate by default in a Hobbesian war of each against all, as long as we, not only we in the U.S. but we in China and Russia and France and elsewhere refuse to surrender some of our national sovereignty, exceptionalism and entitlement, the total system will continue to degrade. What international body could possibly enforce mandates to mitigate global warming until we have massively internalized a new kind of consent to work together across cultural and economic boundaries for the good of the whole? Trying first to do no harm, we will have to assess our effect upon global systems of incommensurable complexity.
The vast majority of people on the planet are just trying to get through each day in one piece. But for anyone who is in a position of leadership, anyone who has the luxury of time and resources to be an agent of change, one of the most valuable things we can do is to encourage a searching dialogue, especially with people who hold views different from our own, about the utterly changed meaning of self-interest. Such initiatives as the Arab push for reform or the Occupy movement will ultimately fall short unless they are able to address structural change in the light of the new paradigm of interdependence. Perhaps some of the solutions will come from the worldwide military-industrial complex itself, as it begins to apprehend the many dimensions of security that lie beyond war.

Delegate David Walker - 05.18.12
Before I begin to fill you in on the workings of the Legislature, I thank you for supporting me during the primary election and pledge to continue representing you to the best of my ability.
Since the Legislature adjourned in March, I have been putting some miles on my car while visiting with a large number of you. In recent days some of those miles have led me back to Charleston as 2012 Interim meetings have begun. As is done prior to these informational meetings, we have been appointed to various study committees by leadership of the House of Delegates. Legislative Interim meetings serve as a foundation for the work to be done during the 2013 Regular 60-Day Session.
I have been selected to serve as Vice-chairman of the Agriculture and Agri-business Committee and also am a sitting member on the Judiciary, Public Education, PEIA, Seniors and Long Term Care, and Veterans Affairs Committees. During our May meetings, these committees met to outline the studies we will undertake in the coming months. Because our meetings were organizational in nature, the information provided in this column updates you on some of the ideas coming before us.
The Agriculture Committee will be following up on regulating captive cervid farming as an agricultural enterprise in this state. A bill was introduced last year but didn’t meet the final approval of the House. Captive cervid farming is, more simply put, deer farming.
Too, we’ll be investigating the whys and wherefores of the decrease in our bee population. And, we’ll be looking into finding funding for a spay and neuter program for dogs and cats delivered to pounds throughout the state.
With my appointment to sit on the Judiciary Committee during the 2012 Session, I have been diligently looking into problems with our courts and legal system. Some issues coming before this committee include finding deterrents to copper theft, regulating fire works, regulating tanning beds and tattoo applications for teens and reviewing the management and operations of forensic labs.
One of the most significant problems we will review is the ongoing dilemma of overcrowding in our jails. During the May interims, our committee toured the South Central Regional Jail. Designed for 300 inmates, it now holds 513. Most, having been sentenced for drug violations, are not being paroled because of the lack of rehabilitation programs. This jail reflects the conditions and staff shortages suffered by regional jails throughout the state.
We also continue to look at senior services and quality health care opportunities for our most vulnerable citizens. Our PEIA and Senior Committee will review how we better can assist folks living at home through services coordinated with community health centers. Not only are these centers closer to home but costs for health care can be significantly reduced.
I am extremely pleased to continue to sit on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee. In the last year we have managed to help with professional licensure for returning veterans, assisted with unemployment for spouses transferred with their spouses and helped with upgrading education possibilities. But the needs of our military heroes can not be put on a back burner. Our veterans committee is looking into the veterans’ van drivers program. This vital service is nearly out of money for May and June. We did increase the pay for drivers from $50 to $75 per day but the increase has put a strain on the system. Right now the program is $130,000 short this year and expected to increase to a loss of $200,000 next year. For immediate relief we are working to receive financial assistance from the governor’s office. The overall program needs review to operate efficiently and effectively.
On a happy note, on May 28th, the dedication of the Donel C. Kinnard Memorial State Veterans Cemetery in Barboursville is scheduled to occur at 3 pm. Through its lifetime, the cemetery will be able to inter approximately 60,000 qualified veterans and family members.
West Virginians hold the state motto, “Mountaineers are Always Free”, true to their hearts. Not only do they believe in freedom for citizens of this state and this country but for all people throughout the world. I believe it is our duty to recognize and continue to support our sons, daughters, wives, husbands, mothers and fathers who have taken up the call to service.
In the last few years, the Division of Veterans Affairs has made great strides in updating its website to accommodate veterans and their families in assisting inquiries relative to their rights. I encourage all to visit www.veterans.wv.gov
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you feel need addressed. You can reach me by calling 304.340.3135, by e-mailing “david.walker@wvhouse.gov” or writing to my office address: Room 210W, Building 1, State Capitol Complex Charleston, WV 25305.
WV Governor: National Guard: Best Value for America
We have asked the National Guard to fight our wars, protect our homeland and respond to natural disasters and emergencies. Citizen soldiers and airmen have done so with extraordinary honor and courage. Now, the Pentagon is trying to balance the defense budget on the backs of the Air National Guard, and we must fight so that Congress does not diminish the capability of America’s most economical military force, the National Guard.
Simply put, the National Guard is the best value for America. The Air National Guard provides 35 percent of Air Force capabilities for only 6 percent of the Air Force budget. However, the fiscal year 2013 Air Force budget proposal disproportionately impacts the Guard by requiring it to absorb 59 percent of the aircraft reductions and about six times the per capita personnel reductions.
While the Air Force proposal did not drastically impact the Air Guard Bases in Charleston and Martinsburg; reductions in 27 other states weaken the Air National Guard and make it more difficult for the Guard to fulfill its dual mission at home and abroad. That is why we are working with members of West Virginia’s Congressional delegation and all of West Virginia’s elected officials in a bipartisan effort to rectify this situation.
In July of 1775 a militia company mustered at what is now Shepherdstown, West Virginia and marched 600 miles to serve as one of the original companies of the Continental Army. That company maintains its lineage as a part of the West Virginia National Guard. Our State must again lead the charge and the fight to return the Nation to the cost-effective militia construct envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
Recently 49 governors sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta opposing the cuts. Given the threats we face and the vital need to reduce our national debt we understand the need to reorganize, restructure and modernize the military. But the Pentagon wants to take more than its fair share out of the Air National Guard. The proposed drastic cuts to equipment and personnel fail to recognize the Guard’s importance to national defense, especially its ability to sustain military power and capabilities at a fraction of the cost to taxpayers.
Please join us in leading the effort to reduce defense costs and maintain capability by better leveraging the National Guard. The Guard is a cost-effective operational force that is critical to national security and our ability to respond to domestic emergencies. It is a highly trained, highly capable force that provides the same protection and service as the active military at a fraction of the cost. We must have the right balance.
Let Congress know you support a proposal that recognizes the National Guard as a vital component of the Nation’s armed forces and the best value for America. The safety and security of West Virginia and our Nation depend on it.
NATIONAL and Local FEEDER & STOCKER CATTLE SUMMARY - WEEK ENDING 05.18.2012
RECEIPTS: Auctions Direct Video/Internet Total
This Week 164,700 46,200 3,000 213,900
Last Week 175,000 62,000 32,400 269,400
Last Year 187,700 34,100 4,500 226,300
Compared to last week, light receipts of yearling feeder cattle sold steady to 3.00 higher while spotty offerings of calves traded unevenly steady.
Reports from across the country noted that offerings were on the plainer side, yet prices still mostly trended in a positive direction which could lend extra support for the market.
Salebarns north of Interstate-70 have almost completely gone to an abbreviated schedule of having maybe one or two sales per month.
Farther south, the auctions are still held every week, but receipts are progressively becoming lighter and the number of cattle that would satisfy Northern orders have become scarce.
For the year, nationwide feeder cattle auction receipts are running 5.6% lighter than 2011 and 9.2% lighter than the 5 year average.
As offerings shrink, the demand for yearling feeders has started to percolate, with most market watchers expecting prices to overflow just as temperatures get the hottest (July and August).
Thursday in Valentine, NE a lone load of 8 weight steers forecasted this summer’s fortune by averaging 806 lbs. at 162.25.
The very next day, cattle producers ran through the streets screaming Extra! Extra! with their hot-off-the-press copy of this month’s cattle-on-feed report.
Finally, after 23 straight months of year over year increases, the on-feed inventory was less than the previous year.
May 1st totals were 99.4% of 2011 and nearly a full percentage point lower than the already scaled-back average guess of the industry’s top analysts.
Placements and marketings were even more bullish, with 14.8% fewer cattle placed on feed during April and 100.4% marketed through the month.
Both of these data were much friendlier to the feeder cattle market than the experts could crunch and the wild bull that this report has released from the chute is carrying a little more than a touch-of-ear and has a colorful hair-coat (much like many of the load-lot yearlings on offer at this week’s high-volume salebarns across the Southern Plains and lower Midwest).
Friday’s cattle-on-feed report also broke the standoff in the fed cattle arena with live sales immediately coming in 3.00 higher than last week at 123.00 in the Kansas.
However, many feedlots continued to refuse bids and wanted to take advantage of the situation to gain some extra market position.
Cattlemen have gotten their proof that feeder cattle supplies have indeed lightened at the same rate as the well-advertised breeding herd.
Now, they need beef consumption to be impressive over the Memorial Day weekend holiday to set the cattle and beef market back on a record pace.
This week’s reported auction volume included 53% over 600 lbs. and 44% heifers.

Bon Appétit: Lemon Chicken Piccata
Ingredients:
3 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2-inch medallions
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Place a serving platter into the oven to warm.
Season the chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and dredge them in flour.
Shake off excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet; pan-fry the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Work in batches and do not crowd skillet, adding oil as needed.
Place the chicken pieces onto the warmed platter in the oven.
When finished with all the chicken, drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving a thin coating on the surface of the pan.
Cook and stir the minced garlic in the skillet until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
Pour in the chicken broth.
Scrape and dissolve any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the lemon slices and bring the mixture to a boil.
Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and capers; simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more.
Drop the butter into the skillet and swirl it into the sauce by tilting the skillet until the butter is melted and incorporated.
Add the parsley; remove from heat and set aside.
Arrange the chicken medallions on serving plates and spoon sauce over each portion to serve.
Ask the Doctor: Endometriosis a Real Problem for Women
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please devote some space to endometriosis?
My doctor believes it’s the reason for my horribly painful menstrual periods.
The pain can be so bad that I have to stay home from work. I’m afraid of losing my job. How is it definitely proven, and how is it treated? - J.T.
ANSWER: The endometrium is the lining of the uterus.
Under the influence of monthly hormones, it grows in preparation for nurturing a fertilized egg.
If fertilization doesn’t take place, the endometrium is shed during the menstrual period.
With endometriosis, bits of the uterine lining have found their way to other places in the body, mostly locations in the pelvis.
Endometrium can stick to pelvic ligaments and other tissues.
It can cover one or both ovaries.
On occasion, it migrates to distant sites, like the urinary bladder and the coverings of the heart and lungs.
One explanation for how this happens is that the endometrium shed during menstruation finds its way into the fallopian tubes, and from there into the pelvis and other sites.
The fallopian tubes are the tubes through which an egg passes from the ovary into the uterus.
Transplanted endometrium behaves in the same manner as endometrium within the uterus.
It grows due to the stimulation of the monthly hormone surge.
However, it cannot be shed like the uterine lining.
Pain is one of the main symptoms of endometriosis, and the pain usually occurs a day or two before menstruation begins.
Painful intercourse is another symptom.
Infertility is more prevalent in women with endometriosis.
Ultrasound is quite helpful in making a diagnosis.
The ultimate test comes from the doctor’s actually seeing endometrial tissue with a scope inserted into the pelvic cavity through a small incision.
Treatments are many.
For mild cases, anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil can ease pain.
Birth control is effective.
Flashback: What Happened on May 20, ....
• 1786 George Jackson was given permission to run a ferry across the Elk River, Harrison County, and to charge 4 pence for man and horse or 2 pence for man or horse.
• 1918 Coal mine fire at Villa on the Elk River, Kanawha County, ten miles above Charleston, killed 13. Mine owned by the Mill Creek Cannel Mining Company.
• 1921 A post office was established at Mozer, Pendleton County, with O. H. Harman as postmaster. It continued in operation until 1968. REF: Mills, Pendleton County West Virginia: Past and Present.
• 1931 The Fayette Tribune first published reports of poor working conditions at the Hawks Nest Tunnel at Alloy, Fayette County, but said it was impossible confirm due to a “gag rule” in effect. The firm of Rinehart and Dennis was in charge of the tunnel and dam construction for the New-Kanawha Power Company to produce power for the Electro Metallurgical Company, both subsidiaries of Union Carbide Corporation. At least 476 workers, most migrant African-Americans, died from silicosis, caused from inhalation of silica rock particles under inadequate safety conditions. Fifty years later, some studies placed the death toll as high as 764, making it the worst industrial disaster in United States history.

Most of the United States will see a partial solar eclipse late this afternoon.
Across a narrow swath of the western U.S., the Moon will be completely enfolded within the Sun’s disk, leaving a thin but bright ring of sunshine around the Moon.
Annular Eclipse II
Most of the United States will see a rare astronomical alignment late today: a partial solar eclipse. And across a narrow swath of the western U.S., the eclipse will be even rarer — the Moon will be completely enfolded within the Sun’s disk, leaving a thin but bright ring of sunshine around the Moon.
A similar eclipse took place on May 10th, 1994, although this one is shifted about a third of the way westward around the globe. And in fact, the two eclipses are like cousins — both are members of an eclipse “family,” known as a Saros.
We’re all familiar with the Moon’s month-long cycle of phases. But the Moon also has other cycles — its distance from Earth and its relation to the Sun’s path across the sky, among others. Three of these cycles overlap every 6,585-and-a-third days — a bit more than 18 years. When they overlap, there’s an eclipse.
Each Saros cycle lasts for centuries. It begins with partial eclipses that are visible from one of the poles, then moves across Earth’s disk with total or annular eclipses, then finishes with more partial eclipses at the opposite pole.
Today’s eclipse is part of Saros cycle 128. The first eclipse in the series took place in the year 984, and the last will be in 2282.
The annular part of today’s eclipse begins around 6:24 PM Pacific Time, at the California-Oregon border. It ends at 8:39 PM Central Time, as the Sun and Moon set over western Texas.
TRUTH OR TRADITION? – Who Is A Christian? #2 #175
Who Is A Christian? #2
Many Things.
Many attitudes and actions are required of a Christian, which in and of themselves does not necessarily make one a Christian, though many seem to think so.
Living In A Christian Nation
doesn’t make one a Christian, though it certainly is a great blessing. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” (Psalm 33:12) . The United States is rapidly becoming a pagan nation, believing in many gods other than the one revealed in the Christian’s Bible.
Being Born Of Christian Parents
is certainly a great blessing, but doesn’t necessarily make one a Christian. Christian parents are admonished to bring their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4) , but being a Christian is a choice each must make.
Being Religious
is certainly characteristic of a Christian, but very few religious people are Christian in the New Testament meaning of the word. Most are on the broad way that leads to destruction (Matt. 7:13-14) . Saul of Tarsus was very religious, yet very anti-Christian in the beginning.
Living A Good Moral Life
is a must if one is truly Christian, but that alone does not make one a Christian. Cornelius was a very good moral person, “A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway” (Acts 10:2) , yet he was not a Christian until he had called for Peter, who preached Christ unto him and his household, and commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord (Acts 10:48) .
Being Baptized
doesn’t necessarily make one a Christian, though baptism is essential to salvation. Just as Israel was not free from their enemies until after they had crossed the Red Sea, one is not free from their sins until after the waters of baptism (1 Cor. 10:1-2) . Just as Naaman was cleansed from his leprosy by dipping in the Jordan (2 Kings 5:1-14) , one is cleansed from sin during baptism. It is the act of baptism that puts one into Christ (Rom 6:3-6) , and it is in baptism that one puts on Christ (Gal. 3:26-27) . But twelve men in Ephesus had been baptized and were not Christian (Acts 19:1-7) . Ananias and Sapphira, Demas and Diotrephes had all been baptized but their hearts were not right.
Wearing The Name Christian
doesn’t make one a Christian. It’s vitally important to wear the name of Christ, because there is no salvation in any other (Acts 4:12) , but wearing the name doesn’t change what you are inside. You could change your name to Gates, but that will not make you an heir to Bill’s estate.
Attending Services Of The Church
is vital to one’s spiritual growth and health, but that doesn’t make one a Christian. We are admonished not to forsake the assembling of the saints (Heb. 10:25) , but as someone has well said: “Sitting in a church house will not make one a Christian any more than sitting in a chicken house would make one a chicken.”
While all the above are good, and most absolutely essential, all of them together does not necessarily make one a Christian. A person could do and be all the above and still not be a Christian.

Braxton County’s Grindo Has History Of Slow Response To Answering Ethics Complaints
The WV Record Reports:
The lack of urgency in responding to an ethics investigation, records show, is what led to Dan Grindo’s four admonishments.
Along with his lack of diligence in filing two appeals in 2010 and 2011 to the state Supreme Court, the Lawyer Disciplinary Board said four prior admonishments in 2008 and 2009 led it file the Feb. 21 statement of charges against him. In the four complaints filed against him between Jan. 11, 2008 and May 23, 2009, Grindo answered them only after he was served with a subpoena dues tecum.
The complaints were lodged by Linda M. Steen of Gassaway, Charles E. Ball of Sutton, Jesse A. Lynch, then an inmate at the Mt. Olive Correctional Complex near Smithers, and Robin L. Goodrich of Glenville. Steen’s and Goodrich’s complaint stem from allegations Grindo was slow in returning money due them while Ball and Lynch alleged he either failed to show or keep them informed of hearings in their respective cases.
After decided against pursing a right-of-way issue, Steen asked Grindo to refund her $1,000 retainer. When he failed to make good on his word to return it after several weeks, Steen lodged her complaint.
Records show, on Nov. 24, 2009, he sent Steen her money along with a written apology.
In her complaint, Goodrich alleged Grindo failed to timely send her a check for $3,750 she received from interests in real estate her ex-husband owned while they were married. Along with filing her ethics complaint, records show, Goodrich filed suit against Grindo in Gilmer Magistrate Court where she received default judgment against him on Oct. 14, 2008, initially for $4372.31 plus $95 in court costs.
After appealing the judgment to Gilmer Circuit Court, the pair on Nov. 21 agreed to settle the dispute with Goodrich keeping all but $517.31. The amount appears to be an unspecified medical bill Goodrich owed which, in his response to her complaint, Grindo said he felt he had an obligation to pay, and was thus the delay in getting the balance of her money to her.
Also, Grindo said in early 2008 “his attention was directed elsewhere,“ mostly on his campaign for prosecutor.
Grindo’s absence at a July 9, 2007, contempt hearing against the unnamed defendant in a property dispute involving Ball is what led Ball to file his complaint. After served with the subpoena, Grindo said he missed Ball’s hearing due to a hearing in Webster County running longer than expected.
Though he contacted the judge’s office to inform him of the delay, Grindo said the judge already denied the contempt petition. Though they later agreed to proceed to a hearing before a special commissioner involving the property, Ball later cancelled the hearing.
Records show, along with filing his ethics complaint, Ball filed suit against Grindo which was later settled on an unspecified date.
According to his complaint, Lynch says Grindo was appointed to represent him in an unspecified criminal matter in June 2008. He alleged Grindo not only failed to inform him of a hearing, but also did not respond to multiple requests for documents.
Also, Lynch said Grindo placed “a block on his phone to prevent him from calling his office collect from the prison.“
In responding to Lynch’s complaint, Grindo said he attempted to get the details of the documents Lynch wanted by discussing them with him at the prison. However, he says Lynch refused to meet with him.
According to Grindo, he later withdrew from the case.
In closing all the complaints on Dec. 16, 2009, Stephen Jory, chairman of the Board’s investigative panel, noted that Grindo “profusely apologized for his failure to respond to his client’s complaint and indicated that he had made significant changes to his law practice to ensure against the same from occurring in the future.“ Nevertheless, he was “warned that in the future, his failure to respond to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel’s request for information, will lead this Board to seek a more severe sanction with the [Court].“

Braxton Attorney Accused of Lacking Urgency In Filing Appeals
The WV Record Reports:
A Braxton County attorney faces disciplinary charges he failed to timely file appeals of two domestic-related cases to the state Supreme Court.
The Lawyer Disciplinary Board filed a two-count statement of charges against Dan Grindo on Feb. 21. In its statement, the Board, the arm of the Court that prosecutes attorney misconduct, alleges Grindo, 34, a sole practitioner in Gassaway, committed five violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct when he first, had to be prodded to file one man’s appeal for modification for child support, and parenting time and then, missed the deadline to file an appeal of another man’s termination of parental rights.
A statement of charges acts like an indictment for disciplinary purposes.
Nine Months Late
According to the statement, Grindo on Aug. 24, 2009, filed a petition for appeal to the Court challenging a decision rendered by Braxton Family Law Judge Robert Reed Sowa denying a petition for Grindo’s client, Jeffrey E. Skidmore, to have more time with his son. In addition to denying Skidmore’s petition, Sowa granted an expedited petition filed by the boy’s mother, Crystal L. Rogers, for an uptick in child support.
Grindo filed his petition for appeal after Braxton Circuit Judge Richard Facemire affirmed Sowa’s rulings.
According to the statement, the Court on Oct. 29 agreed to hear Skidmore’s appeal. The Court on Dec. 21 set a scheduling order in which Grindo was informed he would need to file his brief within 30 days of receiving the order.
When it was not received by March 2010, the Clerk’s Office contacted Grindo about it. He said it would be submitted the next day.
However, by June 8, it hadn’t. The Clerk’s Office, in a letter dated that day, notified Grindo he had another 20 days to file his brief.
When he, again, failed to do so, the Court on Sept. 9 imposed sanctions on him. However, it gave him another 15 days to file his brief.
According to the statement, Grindo did file it on Oct. 4, 2010. A week later in response to a complaint the Court initiated with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, Grindo said because “he was handling the matter on a pro bono basis…admitted that he failed to adhere to the Court’s briefing schedule.“
Last April, in an opinion written by Justice Margaret A. Workman, the Court upheld Sowa’s ruling on Skidmore paying more in child support, but reversed his ruling on denying Skidmore more parenting time.
Another Never Filed
Two months after the Court’s ruling in the Skidmore case, Grindo filed a notice of appeal in an abuse and neglect case involving Joseph Dobbins. According to court records, Facemire on May 17, 2011, granted a petition filed nearly a year earlier by the state Department of Health and Human Resources to terminate the parental rights of both Dobbins, and Thomasina Bennett, the mother of Dobbins’s son, Walker.
DHHR petitioned to terminate their parental rights on the grounds Bennett had two other children removed from her care in Upshur and Harrison counties, and Dobbins was “in need of a substantially lengthy rehabilitation program to treat his sexual abuse history.“ Also, DHHR said Bennett and Dobbins “did little to remedy the situation and did follow through with a reasonable family case plan” after given a six-month improvement period.
In his notice, Grindo disputed that. Dobbins, Grindo said, “was making appropriate progress during the improvement period and that the lower court improperly terminated parental rights in the face of that progress.“
According to the statement, the Court issued a briefing schedule on June 21. In it, the Court gave Grindo a month to file his brief so the appeal could be perfected.
Though he filed an appendix on July 29, Grindo failed to file the petition. In response to multiple calls from the Clerk’s Office, Grindo said “he would promptly file the brief.“
When he failed to file one by Aug. 26, DHHR filed a motion to dismiss the case. Records show, the Court granted it on Sept. 8.
Six days later, the Court again lodged a complaint against Grindo with ODC. In his reply dated Oct. 13, Grindo “again acknowledged that he failed to either file a motion to withdraw or otherwise comply with the Order of Court directing him to perfect the appeal he filed on his client’s behalf.“
The statement accuses Grindo of violating Rules dealing with diligence, expediting litigation and fairness to opposing party and counsel. The Board opted to issue the statement against Grindo based on several aggravating factors including four prior admonishments it gave him between 2008 and 2009.
An evidentiary hearing on the statement is scheduled for Thursday, May 24 at the Flatwoods Days Inn.

U.S. Senators to Keep Fighting for West Virginia Postal Jobs
U.S. Senators Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin have asked the U.S. Postal Service to give fair treatment to West Virginia postal customers and employees as it moves ahead with closing dozens of mail processing centers nationwide.
Citing a congressional deadlock, the Postal Service announced this week it will now consolidate nearly 250 plants as originally planned, including 48 this summer.
The remainder will be targeted over a longer time frame in 2013 and 2014.
Rockefeller says before the decision was made, the Postal Service should have first targeted big bonuses for postal executives.
Manchin and Rockefeller say they’ll continue to fight to save postal jobs in West Virginia.

Frontier to Be Reimbursed $15M for West Virginia Upgrades
Frontier Communications will be reimbursed about $15 million that it spent in 2011 to improve its landline network in West Virginia.

Frontier acquired more than 620,000 landlines in West Virginia from Verizon in July 2010.
The Charleston Gazette reports that the Public Service Commission approved Frontier’s request to be reimbursed for improvements made during the first half of 2011.
Frontier says it spent $8.2 million for cable and pole replacement, $3.9 million for blitz crew work and $1.4 million for new network elements.

Ask the Doctor: Syndrome Is Terribly Agonizing
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 82. I have had something wrong with my tongue for months.
I went to my family doctor, and he thought it was a yeast infection.
He sent me to a specialist, who called it black tongue.
He sent me to a store that sells colloidal silver and tea tree.
They helped.
I thought I was cured, but about three weeks later my tongue started burning terribly.
The medicine no longer works.
My daughter looked on the Internet and said I have burning tongue syndrome.
I started taking vitamin B-2.
I don’t know where to turn.
- R.R.
ANSWER: Papillae cover the tongue.
They’re tiny projections that look like miniature icicles when viewed with a magnifying glass.
Some contain taste buds.
In black tongue, those papillae are elongated and turn a dark color.
Left alone, the color usually disappears.
Gently brushing the tongue with a toothbrush gets rid of it faster.
Burning tongue is dreadfully painful, and the burning sensation sometimes can be felt on the gums, roof of the mouth and inner cheeks.
Post-menopausal women are the primary targets.
As soon as you can, consult your dentist.
You need a thorough exam of your mouth.
Deficiencies of the B vitamins - thiamine, riboflavin, folate and B-6 - might be responsible, but such deficiencies are rarely seen in well-fed populations.
Iron deficiency is another possibility.
A dry mouth leads to burning tongue, and it can be remedied with artificial salivas, sugar-free chewing gum and sometimes medicines.
In most people, a cause is never found.
Some home remedies include rinsing your mouth with cold apple juice.
Or you can make a mouth rinse consisting of equal parts Kaopectate and Benadryl elixir, both readily found in all drugstores without a prescription.
Swish it around in your mouth at least three times a day, and then spit it out.
Some people find that adding four or five drops of Tabasco sauce in a spoonful of water is an effective mouth rinse.
Definitely spit this out after rinsing.
If it causes great pain, don’t pursue the treatment.
Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Stargazing - 05.19.12
The Sun and Moon will team up to produce an annular solar eclipse late tomorrow.
The Moon will pass directly between Earth and Sun, but it is farther from Earth than average, so it won’t completely cover the solar disk.
Annular Eclipse
The Sun and Moon will team up to produce a brilliant ring of fire across the western United States tomorrow afternoon — an annular solar eclipse.
The eclipse occurs because the Moon will pass directly between Earth and Sun, covering the Sun’s disk. But the Moon is near its farthest point from Earth, so it won’t be quite big enough to cover the entire disk. Instead, a thin ring of sunlight will encircle the Moon.
The annular eclipse will be visible across a narrow strip of Earth’s surface that begins in China, wraps across the Pacific Ocean, and ends in the western United States. From the U.S., the path of the eclipse begins at the California-Oregon border around 6:24 p.m. Pacific Time. It then sweeps to the east-southeast, ending over western Texas when the Sun and Moon set at 8:39 p.m. Central Time. The annular portion of the eclipse will last up to about five minutes.
Most of the rest of the United States will see a partial eclipse — the Moon will cover a fraction of the Sun, but it won’t be completely enfolded within the Sun’s disk.
One note of caution, though. While the Moon will hide most of the Sun’s disk, the visible ring is still bright enough to cause eye damage. To view the eclipse, look through dark welder’s glass, or build a “projector” by poking a pinhole in the side of a cardboard box and watching the sunlight projected inside the box — the progress of a solar eclipse.
