COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech simply couldn't overcome 25 percent shooting Thursday night, and despite putting up a valiant fight, left Eblen Center on the short end of a 47-39 Ohio Valley Conference contest with Murray State.
The Racers (15-4/6-1 OVC) didn't shoot much better, hitting 34 percent from the field and just 1-for-18 from long range. But a late 16-2 run lifted MSU into a lead they nursed to the finish.
Tech (7-12/1-6 OVC) forced 23 MSU turnovers with 12 steals, but wound up hitting just 3-for-17 from long range (17.6 percent) and 25.5 percent (13-for-51) for the game.
Isaiah Canaan led Murray State with 15 points, struggling with just 5-for-15 shooting efficiency. Ed Daniel, who spent most of the first half on the bench with two quick fouls, earned a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Stacy Wilson added nine points and six rebounds, and Brandon Garrett finished with six points and seven rebounds as the Racers held a 42-35 advantage on the glass.
Jud Dillard topped Tech with 12 points and grabbed five rebounds, while Dennis Ogbe (in photo) chipped in with 10 points and six rebounds. Matt Marseille grabbed team-high seven boards while finished with five rebounds and five steals, despite being saddled with four fouls. Ammanuel Diressa fouled out with six points, hitting 2-for-3 from long distance.
On a night when the Golden Eagles needed a solid showing, they didn't help their own cause in the first few minutes by missing their first six shots as the Racers quietly crept out to an 8-0 lead.
Tech fought its way back into the game, however, and when Ogbe slashed through the lane, took a pass from Lanerryl Johnson and made a floater, the Golden Eagles had erased the deficit and tied the contest at 13-13.
And a minute later, when Ogbe scored on a putback, the home team had its first lead of the night at 17-15. Two minutes later, Ogbe jumped over a defender for a slam dunk, and Tech was up 20-17.
From that point on, things were tight..until MSU took control in the final minutes.
Tech's 32-27 lead was erased midway in the second half as the Racers went on a 16-2 run. During the 10-minute stretch, Tech had five turnovers and made just one of 12 shots. Wilson and Daniel each had four in the run.
When Dillard knocked dow a 3-pointer with 4:07 remaining, the Golden Eagles faced a 43-37 deficit.
Tech forced four missed shots and two turnovers on Murray State's next six possessions, but the Golden Eagles couldn't capitalize. Tech missed a couple of shots and had another turnover before Dillards' two free throws with 1:17 left made it a 43-49 contest.
The Racers connected on four of the next five free throws to clinch the win.
The Golden Eagles wrap up the week with another home contest, hosting rival Austin Peay Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader. The women's game starts the night's action at 5:30 p.m.
The game is Basketball Legends Night, with several former men's and women's players returning for the festivities. It's also Title IX Celebration, along with a SAAC collection donations for the Hoops for Heroes program to send wounded warriors to the OVC Tournament in Nashville.
Tickets are on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center, online at TTUsports.com, or by calling (931) 372-3940.

Dental Anesthesia
Hypertension X Anesthetics
I have been taking propranolol 40mg for four years. Now I need to go to dentist. Can I take any kind of vasoconstrictor?
Thank you for your question. The usual vasoconstrictors used in dental local anesthetics may interact with propranolol. The possible interaction would cause a rise in blood pressure and a possible fall in heart rate.
The likelihood of this occurring is based on the doses used. Also, the seriousness of the interaction is based on your underlying medical conditions.
If your total daily dose of propranolol is 40 mg, this is a low dose. If your dose is 40 mg three times per day, this is a much higher dose with more likelihood of interaction. The amount of vasocontrictor is important too. Very low doses, when injected slowly, are unlikely to cause an interaction. So, it depends on the procedure.
For routine dentistry, usually 1 - 2 cartridges of local anesthetic are used. This can be a very low dose with 1:200,000 epinephrine containing solutions.
Slow and divided injections also reduce the general body uptake of vasoconstrictors. Local anesthetic without vasoconstrictor can also be used depending on the length of the procedure and whether it is in the upper or lower jaw.
Discuss this with your dentist. He or she will take your blood pressure and heart before and after injections to see if there is an interaction, as there may not be with the standard doses.
Additional local vasoconstrictor can be given based on your response. I hope this helps. Your dentist should be able to direct you.

The car cover works as advertised! I am glad I paid the extra money for a quality car cover. The day I placed my car cover on my vehicle we were hit with 3 inches of snow. After the snow I dusted the cover and took my cover off to see the results and I had no water stains or dust on my vehicle. Great product! I'd buy it again if I didn't already have it!

The Five Biggest Super Bowl Blowouts
The Super Bowl ain't what it used to be — in a good way. Lately, billions of viewers have been treated to some tightly-contested games. Five of the last six Super Bowls have been decided by six points or less.
Often in its past, though, the Big Game was a bit more anti-climactic — less thrilling than some of the conference playoff games leading up to it. There were literally eras when one opponent so outfavored the other, or one conference totally dominated the other, that the Super Bowl itself was just a bore.
Between 1997 and 2006, for example, the AFC won the Super Bowl eight times.
But the most dominant run in Super Bowl history belongs to the NFC: Thirteen champions in a row between the 1984 and 1996 seasons. Four of the five biggest Super Bowl smackdowns took place during this period, with the fifth just the season before, helping make the decade between the mid-80s and mid-90s the era of the "Super Bowl Blowout."
5) L.A. Raiders 38, Washington Redskins 9
Super Bowl XVIII – January 22, 1984
Quarterback Joe Theismann and running back John Riggins led the Redskins to their first Super Bowl championship in 1982 and 1983 was looking no different. The 'Skins sported the No. 1 offense and best record (14-2) in the NFL. After earning a first-round bye, Washington trounced the L.A. Rams 51-7 in the Divisional Round.
They met the San Francisco 49ers in a classic NFC Championship. The Redskins took a 21-point lead into the fourth quarter only to see Joe Montana tie it up with three straight touchdowns. But with 40 ticks left, Washington kicker Mark Moseley – who had already missed four field goals in the game – put it through the uprights and sent the Skins to the Super Bowl with a 24-21 victory.
In the AFC, Al Davis and the Raiders were in the hunt for their third Vince Lombardi trophy. They finished 12-4 and started their postseason with a beatdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, 38-10. Next, they slaughtered the Seattle Seahawks in the AFC Championship game, turning a 27-0 lead into a 30-14 win.
And so the stage was set for vengeance. In Week 5, the Redskins had defeated the Raiders in a nail-biting comeback 37-35. However, there would be no comeback on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Raiders jumped to a 21-3 lead in the first half, thanks to a blocked punt, a Jim Plunkett pass and a pick-six. Marcus Allen scored L.A.'s other two touchdowns and totaled 191 yards rushing, second-most in Super Bowl history. The Redskins managed a field goal and a missed extra point, and the Raiders claimed their third Super Bowl 38-9.
4) Wash. Redskins 42, Denver Broncos 10
Super Bowl XXII – January 31, 1988
Four years later, the Redskins would redeem themselves. Once on the receiving end of the worst thrashing in Super Bowl history, Washington took a turn delivering one of their own.
John Elway and the Denver Broncos were looking to reverse things as well, having dropped the previous season's Super Bowl to the New York Giants.
In 1987, the Broncos took the AFC's top seed (10-4-1, thanks to a one-game strike-shortened season) and rolled through two playoff rounds – 34-10 over the Houston Oilers and 38-33 over the Cleveland Browns – en route to their third Super Bowl appearance, and what would be their third Super Bowl loss.
The Redskins earned a third-seed in the NFC mostly on the arm of Jay Schroeder, but head coach Joe Gibbs turned to veteran backup (and higher-rated) Doug Williams, who up to that point had started only two games for Washington.
Williams led the Redskins into Chicago and back from a 14-0 Bears lead to take the Division Round 21-17. He followed that up with another squeaker, taking the NFC title with a 17-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. And with that, he became the first African-American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl.
Things looked equally tentative through the first quarter of Super Bowl XXII – Denver leapt ahead 10-0. But Williams would earn his MVP in the second quarter, throwing four touchdowns, and the Redskins never looked back, breaking the Broncos 42-10.
Where is Doug Williams today? He's the head coach over at his alma mater, Grambling State, where he took the reins from Eddie Robinson, the all-time winningest coach in Division I history.
3) Dallas Cowboys 52, Buffalo Bills 17
Super Bowl XXVII – January 31, 1993
In 1992, the Buffalo Bills would reach the Super Bowl for a third consecutive season. They lost the previous two Bowls, first to the Giants and then to the Redskins. Unfortunately for the Bills, they'd run into yet another peaking NFC East team — one in the beginning days of a dynasty.
Troy Aikman arrived in Dallas in 1992. The No. 1 pick in the 1989 NFL Draft, Aikman went 0-11, and the Cowboys finished 1-15 his rookie year. The following season Dallas drafted Emmitt Smith and Aikman improved to 7-8. But the Cowboys failed to make the postseason a fifth year in a row. Finally, in 1991, Dallas won its last five games and snuck into the playoffs.
In 1992, the Cowboys took the NFC's second seed, whupped the Philadelphia Eagles 34-10 in Round 1 of the playoffs and finished off the 49ers in San Francisco 30-20 to take the conference title and make it to their first Super Bowl since the days of Roger Staubach.
After dominating the AFC for two seasons, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and the Buffalo Bills backed into the postseason in 1992 on the heels of a loss to the Houston Oilers. The two wild cards would meet again a week later in a thriller known as "The Comeback."
With Kelly nursing a knee injury from that final game, perhaps the greatest comeback in playoff history would be orchestrated by backup quarterback Frank Reich. The Oilers took a 35-3 lead into the third quarter before Thomas, too, left with an injury. Reich and backup running back Kenneth Davis then scored five touchdowns in a row to give the Bills a 38-35 lead. They'd win in overtime, 41-38.
The Bills followed that up with two road wins: 24-3 over the Pittsburgh Steelers and 29-10 over the Miami Dolphins for the AFC title. By then, both Kelly and Thomas had returned to the lineup.
But the Super Bowl would be no contest. Not only did Aikman throw for four touchdowns on his way to the game's MVP, but the defense forced five fumbles and four interceptions, the most total turnovers in Super Bowl history. The Cowboys roped the Bills by 35, 52-17.
These two teams would go on to give life to the saying "the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat." Dallas winning two of three Bowls and Buffalo losing four in a row.
2) Chicago Bears 46, NE Patriots 10
Super Bowl XX – January 26, 1986
Arguably the most storied franchise in football history and winner of eight championships, the Chicago Bears had yet to appear in a Super Bowl by 1985. But Mike Ditka's Bears were utterly dominant that season, finishing 15-1 with the best defense (by far) behind Mike Singletary, Richard Dent and William "The Refrigerator" Perry, and the best rushing offense behind Walter "Sweetness" Payton.
The Bears tore through the postseason and appeared destined, suffocating the New York Giants and the L.A. Rams with back-to-back shutouts (21-0, 24-0) en route to Super Bowl XX.
The New England Patriots, on the other hand, were a surprise. Led by relative no-names Tony Eason at quarterback and Craig James at running back, no one expected the Pats to even make the postseason.
They barely did, snagging the last wild card on a tiebreaker over the Broncos. But their road to the Super Bowl had just begun. Three road games against favorites lie ahead.
The Patriots grounded the Jets 26-14 in New York, raided the top-seeded Raiders in L.A. (27-20) and manhandled Dan Marino and the Dolphins in Miami, 31-14, to earn their first Super Bowl appearance, as well.
The Pats charmed season continued early in the Super Bowl when they drew first blood – a fumble that led to a field goal. But the Bears answered with eight straight scores, including two runs by quarterback Jim McMahon and another by Perry.
The Bears defense, one of the greatest of all time, held the Patriots to just seven yards rushing and 177 yards passing in the 46-10 drubbing.
1) S.F. 49ers 55, Denver Broncos 10
Super Bowl XXIV – January 28, 1990
In the four years before the Buffalo Bills lost four Super Bowls in a row, the Denver Broncos lost three, including this one – the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history and the only one won by more than 40 points.
Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers had a much more illustrious recent history as they were looking to repeat in 1989 and collect their fourth title of the decade.
The Niners were even more dominant in their title defense, posting the best record in the NFL by a full two games. They demolished the Minnesota Vikings 41-13 and L.A. Rams 30-3 in the first two rounds of the playoffs, foreshadowing of what was to come.
After losing Super Bowls following the 1986 and 1987 seasons, Denver suffered a hangover in 1988, going just 8-8 and missing the postseason all together. They bounced back in 1989, winning the top seed in a weak AFC with a record of 11-5.
The Broncos fended off the Steelers in the Division Round, taking the game 24-23 on a Mel Bratton rush with less than two-and-a-half minutes to play. In the AFC Championship, they never trailed, pummeling the Cleveland Browns 37-21. Maybe John Elway's third time would be a charm?
Or not. Elway went 10 of 26 for 108 yards with two interceptions and a quarterback rating of 19.4. The Broncos as a team were held to exactly 200 yards. Meanwhile, Montana threw for 297 yards with five TDs (four to Jerry Rice) and no INTs. His rating was 147.6, second best in history. The Niners would run away with the Super Bowl's biggest blowout 55-10.

Pol: Reid 'dancing around' gun issue
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of "dancing around the issue" of gun control on Monday, hours before President Barack Obama will attend a gun control event in Rybak's city.
"How can Harry Reid, a fellow Democrat and I'm willing to criticize him, say he hasn't read the bill?" Rybak said on MSNBC. "Dianne Feinstein has been a mayor, she was there at a shooting, she put her finger in a bullet hole. She knows why we need this action. This is an emergency. Let's knock off the Washington baloney and support the president and get things done."
Story Continued Below
"I want to say to him that I respect him on a whole lot of levels but he's dancing around this issue and people are dying in this country," Rybak continued. "That is not news to anybody. What the president has done is with all the stuff on his plate, stuck his neck out and said look, 'We need to solve this.' I saw what the president's face looked like when he came out of meeting those victims. I've been there. So have many mayors around this country, and we recognize the fact that this isn't about some sort of game about who wins or loses in Washington."
Rybak, the vice-chairman of the Democratic national committee, was referencing Reid's comments last month casting doubt on the chances of gun control measures passing in the Senate. In an interview with a Nevada television station, Reid said an assault weapons ban was unlikely to pass both houses in Congress.
"In the Senate, we're going to do what we think can get through the House and I'm not going to go through a bunch of these gyrations just to say we've done something," Reid said. "If we're really legislators, the purpose of it is to pass legislation."
While in Minneaplis, Obama will visit the Minneapolis Police Department's Special Operations Center and will meet with local leaders about Minneapolis' successes in reducing gun violence. Rybak is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and has proposed a plan to grade gun and ammunition companies and stop buying police supplies from companies with failing grades.
Feinstein, the California Democrat who is sponsoring the assault weapon ban, was previously mayor of San Francisco. While serving as President of the City's Board of Supervisors, she discovered the body of fellow supervisor Harvey Milk.

Meatballs with Cream Sauce
This weeknight meal was absolutely delicious!
The recipe comes from a good friend and neighbor who is an excellent cook and she posted this recipe to a neighborhood recipe blog a while back.
I am so glad I tried it – not only was I a fan, but my husband and kids loved it. I think my four-year old son must have eaten at least six meatballs on his own before I told him he had to have some more peas before requesting another meatball!
It is a great way to change up meatballs and serve with a creamy, light sauce over noodles. By the way, it made fantastic leftovers.
Sliced cucumbers and other fresh veggies with Homemade Ranch Dressing
Sliced cheese
Cut up apples with Toffee Apple Dip (for a sweet and semi healthy dessert!)
Meatballs with Cream Sauce

- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 T. ketchup
- 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 T. minced fresh parsley
- In a bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients EXCEPT the beef and flour. Add beef and mix well. Shape into balls. Roll in flour, shaking off excess. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet and bake, uncovered, at 400 for 10 minutes. Turn meatballs, bake 8-10 minutes longer or until no longer pink.
- Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, thyme, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add broth and milk; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. If using the full can of chicken broth, the sauce doesn't thicken overly much, but it is delicious that way. If you want it slightly thicker, cut down the chicken broth to 1 cup.
- Drain meatballs on paper towels; transfer to a serving dish. Top with sauce and parsley. Serve over rice or egg noodles (I used egg noodles and loved the result!).

Thanks Zankuu, you're the first person I think that has contributed some useful criticism. My concern is whether or not I'm being uncivil unfairly, which I have been accused of repeatedly with little regard to promoting solid criticism of realistic examples. This has increasingly made me angry as people keep making accusations, but never adequately support the kind of accusations they make.
Most theist come here with no intention of learning or listening, their primary goal is more often than not to do nothing but confirm what they want to believe.
They have a support system built upon emotional dependencies and often other kinds of rhetorical reinforcements for which to rely upon ( such as tautological in group language in the bible, that either praises those who believe or condemns those who do not believe ). This is a well known phenomenon and one I've deeply thought about, but I disagree on who is or is not 'enabling' them. I find that enabling them involves encouraging their confirmation bias through any means possible. Now that includes being aggressive and unapologetic, but it also includes not challenging their presumptions or engaging in rhetorical games where as long as you never address their presupposition they will always rationalize towards that presuppositional unquestioningly.
Whenever you point out a biblical contradiction, that person will always rationalize it through any effective means available to reach the conclusion that they've already assumed. […] This is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine watching other non-believers engage in it, but I am not saying this to distract from any other criticism.
You're going to mention Vynn in the next paragraph, but I really was a fundamental part of those discussions with Vynn and we became close friends. I bludgeoned him with the same unapologetic fervor as I bludgeon anyone else. […] If you don't challenge them emotionally on what they believe emotionally, they'll never budge from their pedestal.
I do hear your criticism about whether theist will listen or not, but in my experience I've never seen a person come here and convert that wasn't a fence sitter anyway. On the other hand, I see not taking them to task on their claims as simple enabling them by confirming what they want to believe.

This version has a mix of new features and a couple of bug fixes for all the family, most notable is the addition of deeper buddypress support which introduces support for activity stream in different languages. This means that when a user comments on a post using a different version than the original one – the activity stream will be properly translated (given you set translate default language). The stream will also show translations made by logged in users. We now also have a group for the plugins users on the buddypress site at http://buddypress.org/community/groups/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress so if you use both and love them, you have the place to show this love, if you hate them and go there you will have our pity.
Another feature which we added thanks to Yoav's presentation is the support for RTL themes which actually have RTL support built in (such as twenty ten, and the buddypress default theme). Your Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Yiddish users will be so happy they will make world peace so fast and stop making nukes and gefiltes.
Other fixes include
- Fix for ms translate and non latin characters (ooops)
- Fix rewrite urls and url translation issue when using custom structure (eg. when suffixed with .html) (Salamat claudio)
- Auto translation will not work in edit mode if auto translation is set to off (another oops)
Hope you'll enjoy this release as much as we do.

My great office buddy Sri pointed me at "The Trap of Marginal Thinking" by Clayton Christensen the other day. I must say it truly struck a cord with me.
Here are my favourite parts:
The marginal cost of doing something "just this once" always seems to be negligible, but the full cost will typically be much higher. Yet unconsciously, we will naturally employ the marginal-cost doctrine in our personal lives. A voice in our head says, "Look, I know that as a general rule, most people shouldn't do this. But in this particular extenuating circumstance, just this once, it's okay." And the voice in our head seems to be right; the price of doing something wrong "just this once" usually appears alluringly low. It suckers you in, and you don't see where that path is ultimately headed or the full cost that the choice entails.
Many of us have convinced ourselves that we are able to break our own personal rules "just this once." In our minds, we can justify these small choices. None of those things, when they first happen, feels like a life-changing decision. The marginal costs are almost always low. But each of those decisions can roll up into a much bigger picture, turning you into the kind of person you never wanted to be.
It was something running through my head today when I almost compromised on a hiring decision. The guy was so close to being great but then failed dramatically at one of our coding tests. Failing at the coding test or not completing it in an above average way is a deal breaker. I almost bent the rules, I went so far as to invite him back the following day to work on something together in the hope that things would workout.
Then I thought of the words quoted above and asked myself, if I bend the rules just this once, then what happens? I've compromised the business. The others that work with us will see this and it will cascade like a snow ball destroying everything in its path (… slight exaggeration but I like exaggeration).

I don't begrudge people who profit from personal life experiences. There's often something we can learn from other people's dramas and traumas.
Yet there was something upsetting about the swift actions by one juror in the trial of George Zimmerman, who was found innocent of all charges stemming from the shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
For now, we know this person only by her court designation, B37. She was the first juror to grant an interview, sitting down with CNN's Anderson Cooper in a session that aired the Monday and Tuesday after the verdict. The Florida mother of two stayed in the shadows, opting to remain anonymous.
"Did you realize how big this trial had become?" Cooper asked.
"I had no clue, no clue whatsoever," the juror answered.
But look how quickly she and her husband moved to hire a literary agent to shop a book. The verdict was the previous Saturday night. Makes me question her motives. How could she not see the media crowded into the Florida courtroom?
She signed with Sharlene Martin, an agent for other high-profile people involved in controversial court cases. In interviews, Martin said the juror's book would be about "the commitment it takes to serve and be sequestered on a jury in a highly publicized murder trial."
I don't buy that, and neither did many others.
As quickly as this deal was made, the public took to social media to voice their outrage at someone - well, other than the lawyers - making money from this tragic and heartbreaking case.
Martin quickly dropped the couple as clients.
After the agent backed out, dozens of people tweeted their gratitude. Nothing like a social media smack-down to get you to rethink your actions and put your greed in perspective.
"I realize it was necessary for our jury to be sequestered in order to (protect) our verdict from unfair outside influence, but that isolation shielded me from the depth of pain that exists among the general public over every aspect of this case," Juror B37 said in a statement. "The potential book was always intended to be a respectful observation of the trial from my and my husband's perspectives solely and it was to be an observation that our 'system' of justice can get so complicated that it creates a conflict with our 'spirit' of justice. Now that I am returned to my family and to society in general, I have realized that the best direction for me to go is away from writing any sort of book and return instead to my life as it was before I was called to sit on this jury."
I expect that many books will be written about the Zimmerman case. It's too much of a controversial story for someone or some people not to figure out how to profit from it. That's the way we roll in our society. Unfortunately, not much escapes exploitation.

Shaheen, Gregg voice opposition to North Country electricity linesBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 18. 2013 9:10PM
Two former governors who were instrumental in creating the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters conservation area agree with the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests that the area is off limits for the Northern Pass hydroelectric project.
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and former Republican Sen. Judd Gregg, both of whom also served as the state's chief executive, recently released a jointly written opinion piece. "When we worked together in 2001 and 2002 to protect this land, we imagined towering trees protected for future generations, not transmission towers," they wrote. "We believe the state has a responsibility to actively protect these lands for our children and grandchildren."
Shaheen was governor at the time the conservation area was created and Gregg the state's senior senator. Shaheen is now the state's senior senator, and Gregg is the new CEO of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), one of Wall Street's largest lobbying trade associations.
Shaheen and Gregg shared memories of how they came together in 2001 to protect the land when International Paper Company announced plans to sell timber ownership of 171,000 acres in Pittsburg, Clarksville and Stewartstown, including the headwaters of the Connecticut River.
"We created and co-chaired the Connecticut Headwaters Partnership Task Force, a broad coalition of community and business leaders, state and federal officials, private nonprofit organizations and other interested parties, to create a future for the land that would reflect the best interests of our citizens, economy and quality of life," they wrote.
The statement comes a month after the Forest Society released a legal opinion supporting their view that the state cannot authorize use of its easement in the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters conservation area for the 1,200-megawatt power lines designed to bring hydroelectric power from Quebec into New England.
A Forest Society analysis of land acquired so far by Northern Utilities suggests that the route would have to pass through a small portion of the conservation area.
Northeast Utilities officials have declined to comment on the legal opinion or on any aspect of the proposed route until it is announced. Company executives told industry analysts in May that the route would be revealed in July.
"Sen. Shaheen and former Sen. Gregg's op-ed is a powerful statement in favor of New Hampshire's natural resources," said Jane Difley, president of the Forest Society. "Given their involvement a decade ago in the conservation easement that protects the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters, their opinions matter. Equally important, we think their opinions are shared by most people in the state."email@example.com.

Developer says proposed LNG plant in Groveton 'on hold'By JOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent
July 27. 2014 7:34PM
Plans to build a $100 million liquefied-natural gas (LNG) production plant in Groveton Village are on "hold," according to the developer, Clear Energy of Marlborough, Mass.
"We're re-evaluating the project and working with issues that have arisen with the state of New Hampshire," said Evan Coleman, Clear Energy's chief operating officer. Coleman would not elaborate Sunday on what those issues are, but said more information may be forthcoming from Clear Energy by mid-August.
Hailed by local and state officials alike, a ground-breaking ceremony for the Groveton LNG facility had been tentatively scheduled for this spring or early summer. The plant was expected to be operational sometime in 2015.
In late April, Coleman said that due to demand, the plant's initial output would be increased by a third, with the potential creation of 15 additional jobs.
The 67-acre parcel is on the grounds of the former Wausau paper mill's wastewater treatment lagoons. The LNG plant — which Clear Energy would build and then sell to another party which would operate it — is expected to bring more than 80 jobs to Groveton village, nearly all of them for truck drivers, with a starting pay rate of $19 per hour.
The plant is projected to generate $1.7 million annually in property taxes, which could effectively cut Northumberland's municipal tax rate in half. Additionally, Clear Energy pledged to make a $100,000 annual charitable donation for 15 years to the town.
The plant could make up to 600,000 gallons of LNG daily, with most of the output destined for customers in southern New England but also for fueling stations in the North Country and nearby Vermont.
One of the fueling stations had been proposed to be located at Gorham Paper and Tissue, which CEO Michael Cummings said would help offset seasonal spikes in the cost of natural gas which this past winter forced GPAT to curtail production and lay off 25 employees.
State Sen. Jeff Woodburn, D-Dalton, on Sunday said while Clear Energy's announcement about the LNG plant was unfortunate, it represents only a "bump in the road."
"It's important not to get too focused on one developer or one use and to be more open of other proposals," said Woodburn. The senator said the current property owners have "greatly improved" the site.
"Every day, that site is better than it was and more valuable, and I think the right buyer will emerge."
Woodburn said the state's Department of Resources and Economic Development is pursuing some leads for the site.
"If Evan (Coleman) comes back, that's fine, too," Woodburn said of Clear Energy's CEO, but "he may have to get in line."

Domestic Violence
Helping an Abusive Partner
I live with a man who is the nicest person in the world one minute and then the very next minute, I am with a monster. I feel like I am on a constant emotional rollercoaster ride. He likes to be in charge of everything, and I must do it his way, if things are not his way, he throws a tantrum... I have an ulcer now and am just tired of the mood swings.... Can you offer any advice?
Additional information from NetWellness Expert Cathy McDaniels-Wilson, PhD:Of course, without knowing additional details regarding his emotional/personality functioning, this sounds like someone who may be suffering from either a mood disorder or perhaps personality issues.
The fact that he likes to be in charge or in control of most things can be driven by a number of things, and I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. I don't know about your level of communication with him.
Perhaps during one of those periods in which he is calm, receptive, and responsive to you, you can inform him of how challenging it is to be in this world with him--how difficult it is for you to judge the status of his moods, anticipate his behavior, or his response to you. Perhaps you could suggest that he seek outside support from a professional who is likely to shed additional light on the situation.
It is not uncommon for people who demonstrate behaviors such as this to be unaware of the impact their behavior is having on others. The fact that this if affecting you physically is a sign that something must change because it is having an adverse effect on you.
Original answer:
Verbally harmful comments and controlling behavior by an intimate partner (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, etc.) are considered by violence experts to constitute "abuse." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nation's leading public health organization, suggest that such comments and behaviors constitute "violence" when they co-occur with physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.
Regardless of what you choose to call the comments and behaviors you are experiencing, the bottom line is that they are causing you stress and may be related to the physical problems you are having (your ulcer).
It is important for you to air your feelings and get support from others to help you gauge action you may want to take in relation to your partner. You may choose to talk with a trusted friend or family member about what's happening in your relationship. Or you could consider talking with a professional - your doctor, a social worker, a psychologist, or person who specializes in relationship issues.
Additionally, there are numerous organizations in the Columbus area that specialize in domestic violence - for example, CHOICES, the Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence, the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, etc. Please let us know if you have additional questions that we might help answer.

How Big Of An Impact Will Miami Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Mike Nolan Make?
So, obviously, something had to be done. And, that something was firing defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni and hiring Mike Nolan as their new defensive coordinator.
Nolan is a great coach that can make a huge impact on the Dolphins defense. He has had a great career so far with 25+ years of coaching experience, and that includes the top defense in the NFL with the 1993 New York Giants. Here is a quick look at what Nolan has done with defenses in his career:
Nolan has been a defensive coordinator for eleven years.
Eight of those eleven years, Nolan's defense has been in the better half of the NFL in points allowed. Six of the years, it has been in the top 10. So, that means Nolan has had a top 10 defense in the NFL for the majority of his career. That is a very good sign for Dolphins fans.
Mike Nolan is the best acquisition the Miami Dolphins made this offseason. Better than Brandon Marshall. Defense wins championships, and while great receivers helps a lot, they still don't help as much as a great defense.
Let me know what the Dolphins community thinks on that one with your comments right below this post.

you didnt write enough.. BM was a huge pick up but i agree Mikey nolan was enormous and completely unexpected.ReplyDelete
I think Nolan was the last choice DC. He may wind up being the best choice time will tell. One thing though, even with the explosion of offense in the past few years Defense is the name of the game. I know it's boring to watch but the Dolphins are doing what they can to be a smash mouth team.ReplyDelete
They are getting there and if the new guys on defense are any good at all. The defense will gel in a hurry. defenses always seem to able to put things together quicker than offenses.
@River: Who would Miami have hired if not Nolan?ReplyDelete
@anonymous: yep, Nolan is what will change this team the most.
yeah man, love the Nolan hire!ReplyDelete
me too, he is what can turn this team's passing defense aroundReplyDelete
Shoot Paul I don't know who they would have went after if Nolan turned them down. I was just saying Mike was not their first choice, he was who they settled on.ReplyDelete
Early on in the search, there was a DC they wanted and he turned them down. I wish I could remember his name. He was the guy I wanted to see down here but it didn't happen. After him they went the Giants DC and a few others before Nolan.
Nolan doesn't get me pumped up. He may turn out to be great, I hope so.. He seems to do a great job when he has the material to work with, but thid defense has a ton of holes to fill and things to fix, and a bunch of unknowns to fill them. That said I the defense will be improved, it wouldn't take much to do that.
With all the newbes with this team, I look for a bumpy road ahead for the coming year. This brings me to the word IF. Watch for IF to be subject matter for dicussion in a day or so..
- winz305June 8, 2010 at 2:40 PM
Rivedog, Nolan wasnt the last choice for the Phins, sure they were looking at different options but once they realized that Nolan might be avaliable they went after him. He was still with the Broncos, but believe me, if he was a free agent then he would of been the first choice for the Dolphins. Hell, almost every team in the NFL would of went after Nolan hard had they known that he was avaliable. They didnt settle, they just got lucky, and im glad that the other DC's turned down the Dolphins.ReplyDelete
Fair enough winz. I just felt they settled for him that's all. I'll be throwing allot of stuff out on Paul site like you have seen with the Nolan hire so be watching for it.ReplyDelete
I'm glad to see everyone joining in the conversations tell your friends to join in also. Till the next time.
Agreed, be on the lookout for more posts soon.ReplyDelete

Really? A ton of holes to fill? Where exactly are these holes? FS is, I admit, a problem. CBs, covered. Vontae, Smith, and Allen are all great corners, with 1 or 2 good sleepers competing with them for the positions. LB's, other than the mishandling of JT, upgraded. Getting rid of Porter and giving more time to Wake are both big ups in my book. D-Line, a wokr in progress. We've got good competition at the ends, I really think we should go with more of a 4-3 look. Nolan bringing his hybrid D in to town will help with that though. The jury is still out on any of the current roster playing well at NT with fergy out, but he will be back and fresh after week 8 and we'll have his presence in the middle if we need it at that point for the final stretch.

Dr. Savita Khanna has been an assistant professor of surgery in the College of Medicine at The Ohio State University Medical Center for the past two years and a university staff member for nearly a decade. She currently is part of a research team that has been working to identify ways to reduce brain injury during stroke.
In 2008, Khanna was awarded a pilot grant from The Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) for her research involving the role of glutamate in brain injury. Khanna discovered that oxygen supplementation during a stroke chemically converts glutamate – normally toxic to neurons – into a neuroprotective substance.
Dr. Khanna completed her undergraduate degree and both Masters of science and philosophy at Meerut University in India. She later received her doctorate from the University of Kuopio in Finland before taking a position at The Ohio State University as a research associate. While completing her doctorate, Khanna worked as a research fellow at The University of California-Berkeley.

Resume: Assumptions about the knowledge held by economic agents have been an integral part of the theory of economic organization since its inception. However, recent work—here called "knowledge governance"—has more explicitly highlighted knowledge as both an independent and dependent variable. Thus, a spate of work in management research and new institutional economics has highlighted dimensions such as complementarity, complexity, tacitness, and so on of knowledge assets and shown how knowledge assets, thus dimensionalized, has explanatory value with respect to economic organization. However, knowledge may also be seen as being caused by governance mechanisms and structures; specifically, incentives, allocations of decision rights, organizational structure and so on influence the search for knowledge, and the creation, sharing and integration of knowledge. More philosophically, the concern with the role of knowledge in the context of economic organization prompts a reevaluation of a number of the fundamental assumptions that are often used to guide theory-building in the economics of organization (e.g., Bayesian and game theoretical foundations).

FAYETTEVILLE — New Arkansas coach Bret Bielema had a message for high school prospects and their families when he was introduced to the state Wednesday night.
There's something specific he's looking for as he builds his Arkansas roster.
"I will recruit uncommon men here that are held to higher standards," Bielema said. "I don't want people to be normal. I want them to be uncommon and the standard set in the world of college football on and off the field."
With that, Bielema's recruiting pitch for the Razorbacks began.
The new Arkansas football coach has plenty to do as he settles into his job, but one of the most important tasks has been reaching out to prospects and their families in hopes of assembling a quality recruiting class. He hasn't wasted any time, placing plenty of phone calls to prospects in the three days since his news conference and will hit the road as Arkansas' coach for the first time Monday.
So what should Arkansas expect? While Bielema doesn't carry the high-profile recruiting chops of counterparts who consistently rake in five-star prospects, ESPN recruiting analyst Jeremy Crabtree believes he's a perfect fit for the Razorbacks.
"Every stop he's been at, whether it's Iowa or Kansas State or Wisconsin, he is known as a very good talent evaluator," Crabtree said. "He knows where to find kids that play his style — especially on the defensive side. He doesn't necessarily get caught up in the star game. He knows he needs a certain kid to play a certain way."
Crabtree believes that's important for an Arkansas program that isn't blessed with a large pool of in-state talent. It's no secret the Razorbacks have had to rely on Texas and surrounding areas for prospects, which isn't much different from Wisconsin.
Bielema had success in both Texas and Florida in his time with the Badgers. This season's Wisconsin roster has 11 players from Florida and five from Texas.
Bielema said both areas will remain important to his recruiting efforts at Arkansas.
"I've signed over 50 players from the state of Florida during my coaching career," Bielema said. "A lot of times, they've been our best players. On my current roster at Wisconsin, we have the best secondary we've had since I've been there, and three of the four are from the state of Texas. So, it's not uncommon ground."
But Bielema said his job at Arkansas, much like Wisconsin, will start in the state.
"If anybody in this state can play on the championship level, we need them here at the University of Arkansas," Bielema said. "I learned that from different state universities I have been at. If you can't solidify things in your state and they are playing for other people, you are not going to be as good as you can be.
"So it's going to be important from this day forward that we throw a fence around the state borders and realize everybody needs to stay here at home and represent us in a very positive manner."
It's a point Bielema surely made Wednesday night, when his first phone calls went to Pulaski Academy tight end Hunter Henry and North Little Rock High running back Altee Tenpenny. The two are among the top prospects in the state, earning four stars each from Rivals.com.
Henry is one of 17 prospects committed to Arkansas, but has said he is keeping some other doors open while he gets to know the Razorbacks' new coach. Bielema's message to Henry was about the number of Wisconsin tight ends in the NFL (four).
"He definitely mentioned that and got it across," Henry told Hawgs Illustrated about their conversation. "He made it clear that the tight end is a big part of his offense. It definitely impressed me and I am definitely impressed with him."
It's no secret Arkansas' offense will place a greater emphasis on the ground game under Bielema. That means an in-state player like Tenpenny would be a key piece if Bielema can convince him to stay in state.
"I am excited that he wanted to talk to me as soon as he got here," Tenpenny told Hawgs Illustrated about his conversation with Bielema. "I am really looking forward to talking to him and seeing how he is going to run his program and how I would fit in."
Bielema's recruiting classes at Wisconsin were never ranked among the top 10 in the nation. In fact, his best group was ranked No. 34, according to the Rivals.com database on recruiting classes. But Crabtree said player development has been key for the Badgers, who have sent numerous players to the NFL under Bielema.
It includes Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who walked on at Wisconsin and now has become one of the NFL's most dominant defensive players.
"When we bring a young man in, he's going to play good football in year one, but he's going to play great football in year four," Bielema said. "We want to make sure we bring in the type of kid who's going to buy into this culture."
While former Razorbacks head coach Bobby Petrino was especially successful in luring quarterbacks and skill position players to Fayetteville because of his offensive background, offensive linemen and defensive talent have been Bielema's primary emphasis in building a program.
No one expects Bielema to snag five-star players from Nick Saban's grasp at Alabama at this point, but Crabtree said he will find and develop talent. Especially on defense, which has been one of Arkansas' weaknesses the past few seasons.
"The teams that play for championships in the SEC, they play great defense," Crabtree said. "And I like that calling card that coach Bielema brings. He's been part of successful defenses everywhere he's been. He's coached guys that have gone to the NFL. And he's also found guys that have fit the scheme and fits it well."
So Bielema — whose staff will be important to that success as well — will begin searching for those fits when he steps on the road.
And he had another message for anyone he's planning to see starting Monday.
"As a head coach, you can only go once," Bielema said about the NCAA limits for visits. "So if I'm coming to visit you, I only have one chance to meet your mom, your dad, your uncle, your brother, your minister, your preacher, whoever it is. I only get one chance to go into your school. … So when I decided to cast my coin, I've got to make it last and I won't want to use that unless I know it's real."

- View at the top: Red Rock Canyon's Calico Tanks.
Hiking in Vegas?
Get your outdoors fix just 35 miles outside the city in Red Rock Canyon.
I've been coming to Vegas for years: it's a bit like Los Angeles in a desert with a giant adult Disneyland in the middle, the glitter of the lights, the gambling and the shows.
This year I decided to view it differently. If you're seeking simple pleasures, Vegas offers multiple opportunities to connect with nature.
Leaving San Diego at 5:00 a.m. gave me a chance to miss the heat of the day. Making a pit stop in Barstow ensured I would be comfortable for the rest of the drive, which totaled 5.5 hours while observing the speed limit (a must as you get closer to towns).
I stayed at the Red Rock Casino Resort, which is about seven miles from the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area, where you can hike, do some climbing, camp or bike. Admission for car/truck is $7 per vehicle; motorcycle, $3; bicycle/pedestrian$3.
Red Rock opens at 6:00 a.m. During the summer you'll want to start your hikes early; temperatures can soar to above 105 degrees.
On my first day, I checked out the visitor center, which contains historical and geological exhibits, a cactus garden and a bookstore. The ranger suggested I start off by taking the 13-mile scenic drive. The visitor center has a nice panoramic window and a photo using that window is well worth it. Naturalist-guided walking tours are available.
The 13-mile drive was an eye opener: from flat areas to hills up to 4,770 feet – did I say hills? Maybe it should be mountains.
My favorites hikes (I did one per day):
Calico Tanks: 2.5 miles. Average time: two hours; difficulty: moderate. This hike over jumbled sandstone leads to a hidden water pocket (well, maybe not in the summer) and a great view of Las Vegas.
It took an hour to get to the top, but the majestic view of Vegas and the park made it all worth it. The "tanks" were void of water when I visited in the summer; fortunately, the strong winds cooled us down a bit.
First Creek Canyon Trail:: 3 miles. Average time: two hours; difficulty: easy-moderate. This is a three-mile walk across a desert valley to a waterfall with cottonwoods, willows and other shade trees. You'll encounter boulders towards the end of the trail (left). This hike is best done during a full moon!
There actually was water in the creek since we had had a summer storm just a couple days prior. We were lucky to photograph some evening primrose flowers.
La Madre Spring: 3.3 miles. Average time: two hours; difficulty: moderate. This hike follows an old road up a canyon with red-and-white sandstone cliffs on one side and gray limestone mountains on the other. The trail does not actually go to La Madre Spring; it ends at a concrete dam built in the 1960s.
The dam now provides water for wildlife and is a pleasant contrast to the desert environment. For the Red Rock area, the vegetation in the canyon is fairly dense, and the pinyon pine, juniper and scrub oaks actually feel like a forest.
Always check the weather before starting a hike: if it looks like it may rain, don't hike that day. Make sure you bring plenty of water – two large bottles for each person is a good guide. Always hike with a buddy. A camera with a zoom feature is a must. Hiking shoes are recommended and a pair of gloves for the boulders. Some people were hiking with poles.
Be safe, but most of all, enjoy the experience! It's sure to carry memories for years to come.

December 20, 1957 - December 7, 2012
Pine Bush, NY
Michael Landman, beloved husband, father, and father-in-law, passed away on Friday, December 7, 2012, at his home where he was most comfortable, with his family by his side.
He was born in Bronx, NY on December 20, 1957 to Marvin and Ada Landman.
He grew up in New City, where he lived with his parents and loving brothers: Andrew and Jonathan. Michael grew up in a close-knit family where he spent summers in Lake Lincolndale with his grandparents, parents, brothers, and supportive aunts: Adrienne and Charlotte. Michael always looked up to his father, Marvin, who was also his best friend.
He went to college for a short time, but decided that he wanted to continue the legacy that his father started, known as Butcher Boys. This legacy, in the fourth generation, still stands today and is run by his son, Jake. Owning his first butcher shop in Mahopac, NY, not only brought him success, but it led him to meet his loving wife, Joanne, of 31 years. Together they built a loving family, raising five children: Stephen, Nicole, Allen, Jake, and Bennie.
Michael was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2002. Doctors predicted a poor prognosis, but due to his fight, determination, and supportive family, he beat all the odds. For the last 10 years he has been nothing less than a miracle, inspiring all those around him at home, work, and in the community. He met Gretchen and Fritz Meir at their physical therapy practice in Pine Bush, NY. Both Gretchen and Fritz, along with their staff, have helped build his confidence and get him back on his feet. Because of his will and courage, he was known to many as Magic Mike, and was honorably asked to become the Grand Marshall at the 2012 Relay for Life in Pine Bush, NY.
Survivors include his loving wife of 31 years; his five children; his son-in-law, Chris; his two sisters-in-law: Denise and Cyndy; his cousins: Randi, Rochelle, Larry, Dennis, Howard, and Michelle; and his nieces and nephew: Jessica, Hillary, and Joshua. Michael will always be remembered as a caring, giving, and loving person to all he knew.
Visitation will be held on Monday, December 10, 2012 from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. at the William M. Gagan Funeral Home Inc., 1525 Burlingham Rd, Pine Bush. Graveside services will be conducted on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 1 p.m. at the Cedar Park Cemetery Beth El in Paramus, NJ.
Arrangements entrusted to the William M. Gagan Funeral Home Inc. www.wmgaganfuneralhome.com

Hershey's Website Inaccuracies
This is a tedious post and I don't really expect folks to read it in earnest. It's here for my reference and yours.
Since the whole change in Kissables, I've been keeping a close eye on the Hershey's website and even did a screen grab on August 27th, 2008 before they started changing it in the past couple weeks after the ABCNews.com story. (I don't know that was definitely the motivator.)
While Hershey's has a clear disclaimer on the product pages with the nutrition information that reads: Hershey's goal is to keep each product's nutrition information up-to-date and accurate but please consult the label on the product's packaging before using. If you notice that something is different on a product's label than appears on our website, please call us for more information at (800) 468-1714. I can tell you from personal experience that getting information about Hershey's about what's actually in their products isn't as easy as calling or emailing.
I understand that often in times of product formulation transition that the website needs to reflect what a consumer is most likely to find, some of the items on the Hershey's website are far from just out of date, they're inaccurate to the point of misleading. Here's the last saved version of products page from March 2008 via Archive.org. (Images are not archived, so they may be linking to current images, not those that appeared during the time the archive was made.)
Plainly put, the descriptions on the Hershey's Chocolate Products page don't match what's currently available in stores, further, what they say is in the products is inaccurate.
The first was the 5th Avenue, which shifted from a milk chocolate coated bar to a rich chocolatey coating bar back in 2006. The image on the site and the text both said that it was milk chocolate. The image has since been changed out, Google's cache from September 4th still showed it as a milk chocolate bar image & text), but the text still reads:
While it's accurate to say that it was a chocolate bar in 1936, they're not exactly saying that it's not any longer - you have to look at the picture and the caption just says "chocolate."
The next is the Kissables description:
While the classic Kisses are still considered milk chocolate, the Kissables are not, so saying that they're just mini Kisses covered with candy is misleading because, well, it's simply not true.
Hershey's Miniatures were a recent disappointment to me. I don't know if they can get away with calling the product Hershey's Miniature chocolate bars when I found that 41% of my package were not chocolate bars at all.
Milk Duds haven't been chocolate for years, but the description is still there:
The Mr. Goodbar section is full of inaccuracies. The name of it is Mr. Goodbar chocolate bar and the image on the directory page says peanuts in chocolate and the description says:
On the actual product page the header image shows made with chocolate and peanuts but the image below it and the caption still say peanuts in milk chocolate. The description there goes further into the history which confuses matters because it once was a real chocolate bar:
The final one in the Hershey's repertoire is the Take 5. The description is shown there in the screengrab and it says that it's covered in milk chocolate. (Which I'm guessing is a selling point, it was for me.)
The Hershey's product page for the Take 5 has been heavily edited now. There were four versions of the bars (White, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie and for a while a Marshmallow) listed there earlier this year. The current product page is now completely accurate with its images and description. I can only be disappointed by my memories.
Hershey's has several mini-sites. One of the major ones is for their Reese's line of products. It was relaunched just last week with an intricate flash-based page (which means no way to link to individual product pages). I would expect that this would mean that the info would be especially accurate. Sadly it's not so.
The Reese's subsite lists 11 Reese's products. Four are characterized erroneously as real chocolate products in the copy that accompanies them.
ReeseSticks (which I revisted in today's review) is described as milk chocolate though the image is correct
Nutrageous is described as a "chocolatey candy" on the wrapper (and in the image) but the accompanying text says that it's, "loaded with crunchy roasted peanuts, smooth rich caramel, chocolate and the distinctive taste of Reese's Peanut Butter."
Reese's Whipps is a new product and has never had a smooth milk chocolate on it. So while this whole "transition" thing with new products might be forgiveable, this is not.
Reese's Crispy Crunchy is a little older than the Whipps, but also never sported a "smooth chocolate coating."
So there you have it. Hershey's says that their changes are transparent to the consumers and that everything is clearly marked on the packages. While going straight from the package, with no previous experience with the product might mean that consumers understand fully what they're eating, the rest of this noise - the fact that the wrappers are designed to look so incredibly similar and that the supporting materials like the Hershey's website don't reflect what's truly in the bar - provides evidence the Hershey's wants us to be confused.
I fully expect that many of these inaccuracies will be rectified soon. I know that Hershey's staff members and their PR companies read this site.
The above web images were taken on September 18, 2008 for the Reese's Whipps page and September 17, 2008 for the Hershey's items.

kkstone needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Panthach is a Dutch company specialized in manufacturing loaders. The manufactured loaders are distributed all over the world (e.g. Germany, Russia, Poland, USA and more). These machines are often used in agriculture and street construction for all kinds of tasks. All the manufactured loaders have a yellow color.
Currently we are rebranding our logo and website. The designed logo will replace the current logo on our website (http://www.panthach.com) and applied on the loaders. Also, the logo will be used on business cards, envelopes, and brochures in the next design contest.
Since the design of the current website will remain the same, it is important that the designed logo fits nicely within the current design of the website.
For an impression of the current website of Panthach please visit http://www.panthach.com. Please note that the loaders are going to be yellow, and not green as shown on some photos on the website.
For more detailed photos of the loaders please refer to the attached photos. Similar to the website, please note that the loaders are suppose to be yellow and not blue or green, keep that in mind!
The loaders are mainly used by people (mainly men) working in the following domains:
• Agriculture
• Construction
• Hover kidney
• Forestry
• Municipality
• The logo should be simple and clean. Since it will appear on the loaders, it is important that the logo is easily readable and recognized even when the shovel or loader is on the move.
• We want a logo that people will associate with the words: robust, solid and powerful
• Another requirement is that the letters antha in panthach will somehow stand out a bit but not too much. People should still see the name Panthach as the complete name of the company. The antha in the name refers to the mother company of Panthach called Antha van hienen B.V.
• Be creative by using fonts and typographic effects to give the logo a unique feeling. The use of icons/symbols is optional.
• Print file format: illustrator (.ai) CMYK
