Recount: Sykes edges Martinez for City Council seatWritten by Bailey G. Dick | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Larry Sykes has edged out incumbent Adam Martinez in the race for the final spot on Toledo City Council, but that doesn't mean the contest between the two is over.
The Lucas County Board of Elections determined Nov. 25 that Sykes bested Martinez by five votes after a count of provisional ballots from the election earlier this month.
According to Board of Elections policy, there will be a recount because Sykes won by less than one half of a percent. The board will randomly select three or four precincts to recount on Dec. 5.
On Nov. 25, Martinez said his campaign has advisers and an attorney on standby to work with him throughout the recount process.
Martinez said that while he is still hoping for a victory, he doesn't expect a great change in the outcome of the election.
"Maybe I'm a little naïve, but if they did it right the first time, the numbers should be accurate. But human errors do happen," Martinez said. "I have no regrets. I didn't work hard enough and I have no one else to blame but myself."
Theresa Gabriel, whose spot on Council was also up in the air, was solidified by the Board today.

Evaluation of Information Sources
Part I, Types of Information Sources
This tutorial is intended to give you a foundation in the evaluation of Information Sources. Once you find information, you need to evaluate it, to determine its value with respect to your information needs. This tutorial is presented in two parts. Part I will discuss understanding what type of information source you have and Part II will cover the criteria by which you may evaluate an information source.
To effectively evaluate an information source, you must first determine exactly what you are looking at. There are a number of different categories into which we divide information. This tutorial will discuss first identifying Primary and Secondary sources, then identifying Popular and Scholarly sources. These distinctions will affect how reliable and/or valuable that information might be for any particular information need.
Primary Sources:A Primary Source of information is a firsthand or eyewitness account of an event. It is also raw data or facts which were gathered at an event. They are direct sources of information.
Primary sources include diaries, letters, newspaper articles reported from an event, public documents, laws, court records, speeches, statistics, surveys, logs, journals, family bibles, etc.
A Primary Source of Information is actual evidence presented without any analysis or interpretation.
Secondary Sources:A Secondary Source of information is something which comes after the fact. It is literature that analyzes, interprets, relates or evaluates a primary source or other primary sources. Textbooks, encyclopedias, dictionaries, any book or article which is an interpretation of events, or of primary sources are considered secondary sources.
This does not mean that secondary materials are not good sources of information. Often by collecting data from a number of different primary sources, new ideas and insights into an event may be found.
Combination Sources:Actually, the distinctions between Primary and Secondary materials can get very blurry. Think about the autobiography which was written many years later. The person has a long time to think about, analyze and interpret events and to exaggerate or "forget" certain details. While it is a firsthand account, it is probably not without some bias.
Now consider legal documents, forms which are filled out. Most, like a marriage certificate or birth certificate, are filled out and signed at the time of the event. These are clearly primary documents. But think about other forms you might fill out with information about your parents. You were not around when they were born, so data regarding their place and date of birth would be secondary information. A death certificate is generally considered both a primary and secondary source of information. The information relating to the death, time place cause, etc., is primary but any information regarding the birth of that person is generally provided by a child or spouse, who was not around at the time to be an eye witness, so it would be secondary information.
What does this matter?When you are evaluating information, you should take into consideration where it is coming from. A story about something that happened to a friend of a friend is less reliable than a story about what happened to you.
History can become much more interesting when reading a first hand account of events than just that history textbook.
You might run across conflicting information, which should you believe? Which is closer to the actual event? You probably cannot only rely on primary information, but be aware of the differences. It is often helpful to include both primary and secondary information in your research.
Popular vs. Scholarly:The next thing to consider when evaluating an information source is who the general audience for the material would be. In other words, who is it written by and who is it written for? This concept can be applied to all formats of information, from journal and magazine articles, to books, to web pages.
- Popular sources of information are meant for a general audience, who are not necessarily experts in the field. They are presented in such a way that anyone can get a general idea of the information being presented.
- Scholarly Sources of information are meant for a more specialized audience of experts in the field.
The treatment of the topic, or writing style
Experts in the field (Scientists, doctors, professors...)
Journalists, not necessarily experts (magazine staff, freelance writers...)
Audience, or who is the information written for?
Scholars, researchers, practitioners... other members of the field
General public. Any one can read the material and understand it.
Often a scholarly or professional organization
Commercial companies
Peer-reviewed / Refereed - edited or reviewed by other experts in the field.
NOT peer-reviewed - edited by one editor, or editorial board, for readability and popularity, they are not necessarily experts in any field other than journalism.
Does include References or Bibliography. Often several pages of references.
No references. Sometimes mentions of experts, but no bibliographies.
Plain covers, few pictures - maybe some graphs and charts, matte paper, few if any advertisements.
Glossy covers, lots of color pictures, lots of advertisements
This sounds very straight forward, and usually is, but sometimes things do fall into both categories. National Geographic Magazine is one such entity. It is written for a general audience, has lots of nice pictures, is widely available and fairly inexpensive, but the articles are very well researched by experts in the field, and usually do have extensive references with the content. It is a scholarly publication, but is easily accessible to a popular audience. Another example is Highlights Magazine. It is written by educators and experts in the field of education and children, but is intended for use by children and parents. While it would be considered a popular resource, it does have characteristics of a scholarly resource.
This completes Part I of the Evaluation of Information Sources tutorial.
Part II deals with Evaluation Criteria.

The Chicago Chapter of the prestigious American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), will debut 100 posters to celebrate its centennial year. Kerry Grady, Grady Campbell's Founding Principal, was selected by the AIGA, to submit an original poster design that answers the question: "What does design in Chicago mean to you?" Kerry, an AIGA member since 1983, is "honored to participate." The posters will be showcased and auctioned at the Chicago AIGA Annual Gala, June 12. Auction proceeds will be invested in the AIGA Design Scholarship Fund.
More than 1/3 of our lives are spent at work (maybe more.) ESD makes living (while we're making a living) more efficient, effective and comfortable. Think of it as space planning on a gutsy, global scale. ESD, Environmental Systems Design, helps companies plan and build the optimal mechanical, electrical and physical systems their unique industries demand. So they can work smarter, operate better, grow and evolve.
Now GCI is part of ESD's evolution. We recently launched a new ESD website that is smart as it is elegant. The site drives digital marketing strategy — and allows ESD to practice what it preaches brilliantly. Our goal: devise a CRM that integrated with ESD's CMS, and maxed out SEO. Translation (for the acronym averse) Grady Campbell provided a customizable solution that allows ESD to communicate with key customers, and maximize its impact on the web.
Would you invest your heart and soul (and life savings) in an enterprise if you knew there were a greater than fifty percent chance it would fail? If you said, "I do"…you did. The topic of divorce brings up more anxiety, more passion, and more questions than any other. Understanding the volatility surrounding the subject, Grady Campbell approaches it with integrity, candor and sensitivity in a new ad campaign for Berger Schatz, one of the leading Matrimonial and Family Law firms in the country. The ads feature striking portraits of individuals who represent Berger Schatz clients (captured by fashion and celebrity photographer Sandro Miller). The message reflects their honest expressions and intimate impressions about divorce—and why they chose "the experience, expertise and discretion" of Berger Schatz to resolve their most challenging issues.
Dirk Lohan and Kerry Grady have had a marathon meeting of the minds. The relationship between Lohan Anderson, a global leader in spectacular modern architecture and Grady Campbell, elegant design and branding firm, began more than 20 years ago. The synergy between the two firms started with a shared philosophy and design aesthetic and grew into a fruitful, focused collaboration. Most recently, Lohan Anderson selected Grady Campbell to craft its new, pitch-perfect corporate website.
Lohan Anderson is an internationally acclaimed leader in commercial, institutional, hotel, and residential architectural and planning projects throughout the world. Its vast and varied work includes The Four Seasons Mumbai, The Grand Hyatt Sao Paulo, Long Sheng International Tower in Xi'an City, China, and, in development, the sweeping Dubai Wave in the U.A.E. Noted American projects include Chicago's Oceanarium, Adler Planetarium, and McDonalds Corporate Headquarters. "Our relationship with Lohan Anderson continues because we share a common philosophy of form, function, and the integration of architecture, technology, branding, and graphic design," says Kerry Grady, Principal.
Adoption Center of Illinois debuts new branding, visual identity, and vitality this season, thanks to the creative support of Grady Campbell.
At ACI, a community of partners, parents, and advisors are singularly committed to doing what is best for children. Yet ACI wanted to stretch—do more, serve more. And Grady Campbell wanted to help. "We saw the kind of life-changing work ACI is doing, and our firm wanted to support that," says Kerry Grady, Principal.
Grady Campbell worked with ACI to create a new brand vision, a website that's more engaging and comforting to birth parents, and a warmer graphic identity. "The new logo is, literally, a community of hearts," says Grady. That's actually a powerful symbol that represents the heart work ACI staff offers every day, to everyone whose lives are touched by adoption.

Restaurants on alert due to flu outbreaks
Employees taking extra precaution for cleanliness
SAN ANTONIO - According to the San Antonio Restaurant Association, area restaurants are taking extra care to keep employees and customers safe during this latest flu outbreak.
Restaurant customer Elizabeth Kutas said it always seems like a gamble when she goes out to eat.
"You don't know if the employees wash their hands right or if they sneeze into your foods and stuff, so you just have to be careful," she said.
Employees at the Jim's restaurant at Hildebrand and San Pedro are being extra careful.
According to Gary Johson, director of operations at Jim's and an executive committee member of the San Antonio Restaurant Association, they've been heightening their awareness to make sure they don't help spread colds and flu.
"We have a responsibility to the public so we're very, very conscious of it, but this time of year, the managers talk it up with their staff during pre-shift meetings, during the course of the shift (and) if we see something that isn't right, we address it immediately," said Johnson.
Under the health code, restaurant employees can't work if they are infectious, have persistent sneezing, coughing or a runny nose.
When waitress Dede Greenwood caught the flu several weeks ago, it cost her three days of work
"You can't do anything about it," she said. "You'd rather be at home getting well than being at work passing it on."
Restaurant employees are required to wash their hands while they're at work and right now, many are being even more diligent than usual.
"If you have to cough, if you sneeze, if you touch your hair -- anything -- you need to wash your hands and sanitize," said Greenwood. "You can wash your hands as many as 15 to 20 times."
Greenwood said it's an important step to staying healthy so she won't have to miss work and also to keep customers safe.

Three Walterboro teens who reported being kidnapped at gunpoint in an attempted rape have now been charged with filing a false report, police said.
A 15-year-old and two 13-year-olds on Saturday told officers a story that included them being forced into a car at gunpoint and driven from the Edisto Terrace apartment complex, 180 Mabel T. Wills Blvd.
A man tried to rape one of the girls, the teens told police, but she managed to fight him off.
The story ended with the attacker dropping the teens off at a Walmart parking lot and fleeing the scene. Surveillance video from the apartment complex and the store revealed inconsistencies in the teens' story, police said.
Police questioned the girls again.
They confessed to going to a party that night and admitted making up the story to avoid getting into trouble, police said.
Police have not identified the teens. All three girls are being charged with filing a false report, police said.

Mamata being the most Convincing Human Face of economic ethnc cleansing, it is well understanable that the UPA should defend her follies and faults! Pranab Mukherjee is well fit in this distinct Role. Hoever,Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Wednesday accused the Railway Ministry of responding slowly to Monday's train collision at Sainthia station in West Bengal.Ridiculing West Bengal's ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led Left Front for demanding her resignation in the wake of the Sainthia train accident, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday again hinted at a conspiracy behind the tragedy.
Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today suggested CPI(M)'s hand in the train accident in Sainthia and the Jnaneswari Express mishap and ruled out resigning on moral grounds.
"I am prepared to resign if the CPI(M) guarantees that it will not indulge in sabotage," she said slamming the Marxists for demanding her resignation in the wake of Monday's accident in Birbhum district which left 66 persons dead.
Banerjee, who had resigned twice earlier as union minister, said people were ringing her up to tell her not to walk into CPI(M)'s trap by quitting.
"They have been planning sabotage. They are trying to ruin the (reputation of) Railways by letting cockroaches into food.
It is time for the CPI(M) to go. The Jnaneswari Express accident took place on May 28 two before the Kolkata Municipal Corporation elections," she pointed out.
Banerjee was addressing her party's mammoth Martyr's Day rally organised in the memory of 13 Youth Congress workers killed in a police firing here on this day in 1993.
"The accident at Sainthia occurred on July 19 before our Martyr's Day rally today. Both took place around 2:00 am. Many people were killed. This should be probed. The CBI is investigating the earlier accident.
"They (Marxists) are not planning development, but opening clips on tracks. Some comrades are drawing up scientific plans. After the Jnaneswari (accident) they strung up a poster claiming that it was an accident. Who were behind it should be investigated. It is sabotage," she said.
'The Gyaneshwari Express tragedy happened May 28, two days before the Kolkata civic polls. I went to the spot and learnt certain things about who is behind this. Now the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting a probe,' Banerjee told a huge rally in the heart of the city.
'Again two days before our July 21 rally, the Sainthia train accident happened. Both incidents happened around the same time - 2 a.m. Investigation is on regarding the Sainthia disaster. So I won't say anything. But comrades, do you think we eat grass?' she asked.
The Trinamool Congress leader said if people wanted her to resign, she would do that in two minutes.
'But the more the CPI-M demands my resignation, I get more phone calls from people urging me not to fall into the CPI-M trap. They plead with me not to resign,' she said.
Banerjee said she had earlier twice resigned from the union ministry.
'But in 2001, I lost the assembly polls only because I had resigned as railway minister. People did not like it. People still remember this. And they continue to ask me why should I resign.
'Now the CPI-M wants my resignation. They did not resign when they killed 60,000 opposition workers during their 33-year rule. Their only activity is now centred around creating problems for me. They are allergic to me,' Banerjee said.
The minister said the CPI-M was now on its last legs and it was time for the Communists to go. 'No amount of conspiracy can keep them in power,' she said.
She said that while CPI-M leaders made crores worth of property during their long innings in West Bengal, she does not even drink a cup of tea using railway money.
'They have beaten me up so many times. Now they are trying to damage the railways. They cannot do it. They themselves will suffer,' she said.
Banerjee said she could not sleep for the last two days due to the rail accident. 'I have fever also.'
Over 200 people have been killed in West Bengal in two train tragedies in less than two months.
At least 148 were killed May 28 when the Mumbai-bound Gyaneshwari Express derailed after a Maoist sabotage and was hit by a freight train near Jhargram in West Midnapore district.
Sixtysix people were killed when the engine of the Sealdah-bound Uttar Banga Express ploughed through three compartments of the stationary Vananchal Express at Sainthia station early Monday.

Indians those who are not communists do not have any idea of West Bengal Communism. Innocent Indians can not feel the horrible days and nights through which Nandigram residents passed. The communists can do anything for political power. They will not allow the power to be snatched from them. The time has come which Bengalis have anticipated long back. Entire West Bengal will be on fire. Innocent people will be lynched to death openly in the streets by communists workers. Law and Order will fail completely till the the election result is declared and CPM voted out of power. Immediate President rule is the only answer.
Reply | Offensive
Completely agreed with the point. Mamata Banerjee should be made central minister without portfolios. She has no time for the Rail Ministry, as she is pre-occupied with the politics in West Bengal.
I would say she is not fit for either of them, not for Bengal Politics & not for Railways. She should take retirement instead of holding any other portfolio.
Though I say this, but I really doubt that this is the case. There must be some other reasons, such as mistakes by more than just the driver which caused this incident. Why the other train came on the same track when the other train was yet to leave ? Who gave this permission ? The station master must be asked these questions and be held responsible if proven guilty.
Those that criticise must have an alternative to solve the problem. In a cauldron like India where the government has a responsibility to offer cheap rail travel to the masses, events like these do happen. Privatisation of the railways is a good idea and one can expect efficiency. Efficiency needs new equipment and money and moreover the number of trains will have to be curtailed to give breathing space so that trains that run far in between will have clear lines and fewer stops to be on time. All these costs money and tickets and tariffs will have to be doubled or tripled. In such a situation the poor will be marginalised and will suffer. I will agree that madam Banerjee has taken too much in her plate and she will have to guide her party to victory over the Communists in Bengal. I think that this is more important a task for her and the Union goberment than the Railway Ministry : at least for the moment. Our sympathies from Oz goes to all that had lost their loved ones in this catastrophe and may they find comfort in this their hour of grief. E&OE

Patna: Sixty-seven opposition legislators were suspended on Wednesday for unruly behaviour in the Bihar assembly while demanding Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's resignation over financial irregularities. The incident had prompted one of the members to throw a footwear at the speaker. Speaker Uday Narain Choudhary suspended the 67, mostly from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and the Left parties, a day after bedlam gripped the house.
The suspended legislators were forcibly removed by the marshals from the house. The assembly opened at 11 am after being adjourned on Tuesday afternoon following clashes between the ruling National Democratic Alliance and opposition members. The opposition members trooped towards the speaker, shouted slogans against their suspension and demanded the resignation of Nitish Kumar. The suspension will remain effective during the ongoing monsoon session till July 24.
The ruling NDA alleged that an opposition member threw a sandal at the speaker to protest suspension of opposition members. Protests continued outside the house also. A woman legislator created ruckus by breaking flower pots in the premises. On Tuesday, 14 opposition members of the Bihar Legislative Council were suspended for their unruly behaviour in the house during protests against alleged financial irregularities.
Here we have the entire story that happened in the Bihar assembly.
Politics in Bihar took another ugly turn on Wednesday when Opposition MLAs allegedly threw a pair of sandals at the Speaker after he suspended 16 of them for rowdy behaviour. As the watch and ward staff lifted RJD MLA Bablu Dev, one of the 16 MLAs suspended from the Assembly, his party colleagues ran towards him and a slipper was thrown at the Speaker Udai Narayan Choudhry. Choudhry then ordered that all MLAs protesting in the well of the House be removed.
Chaotic scenes were witnessed in both Houses of Bihar Legislature on Tuesday as Opposition members overturned desks and chairs, broke microphones and virtually came to blows with ruling alliance MLAs over the debate on the CAG report.
It was a free for all inside the Assembly on Tuesday, all because MLAs could not decide what to debate during working hours. The BJP and JD(U) wanted to discuss price rise and the failings of the Central government. "People have a right to debate, but not in this fashion. The government has a job to do, so has the Opposition, but they can't stop us from functioning in this way," Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said.
"This is unparliamentary, Nitish has attacked me. This incident (the ruckus) is an embarrassment and I condemn it," RJD chief Lalu Yadav said.
RJD supremo Lalu Prasad was on Tuesday not allowed to enter the Bihar Assembly where opposition MLAs were on an indefinite dharna demanding the resignation of the Nitish Kumar government.
Around 80 Bihar Opposition members spent the night in the well of the two houses of the state legislature demanding the resignation of Nitish Kumar in the light of a CAG report highlighting alleged financial irregularities in the state. The Opposition MLAs and MLCs in Bihar said they would continue their dharna in both the Houses till their demand was met, apparently taking a cue from the Karnataka Opposition members, who were on a five-day-long dharna in the state Assembly demanding CBI probe into the alleged illegal mining in the state.
Last week, MLAs belonging to the Congress and the JD(S) made a tamasha of the Assembly by spending three nights in the House having biriyani, singing songs and sleeping on the floor. Thier demand? Handing over the illegal mining scandal involving the Reddy brothers to the CBI.
Congress and JD(S) MLAs, who do not share the same political ideology, were found sleeping together. Politics, after all, is a story of strange bedfellow.
Congress MLAs tearing up a string of bills that were passed in the Karnataka Assembly.
Meanwhile, Tourism Minister Janardhana Reddy, the eldest of the Reddy brothers and a baron involved in iron ore minig, claimed that his family was as pure as 24 carat gold. Reddy said he was ready for not only a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), but also by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or any global investigation agency.
A few years ago, Tamil Nadu Assembly witnessed pandemonium when a few MLAs allegedly tried to `disrobe' AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa.
Recently, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav almost came close to landing a blow on BJP leader Ananth Kumar in Parliament when the later called him a traitor.

Best of AOP - Solar System
Jupiter and the Galilean Moons
Galileo discovered the four big moons of Jupiter with his first telescope in 1610. We call them the Galilean satellites in his honor. He impressed quite a few with the discovery, since those moons clearly went around Jupiter, and most of Galileo's colleagues thought that everything went around the Earth. Since Galileo's discovery astronomers have discovered more then 60 moons, all much smaller than Galileo's four.
The big four are called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, and they are visible with nothing more than good binoculars. Io has active volcanoes, Europa (and maybe Callisto) a subterranean ocean, and Ganymede is the biggest moon in the solar system. Also, in this image, the Great Red Spot is visible on Jupiter.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Sun, Sand, and Sperm Banks: Top 5 WTF Moments from The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5, Episode 6: "Hold On To Your Weaves!"
The ladies crossed international waters on Sunday's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but made sure to bring along all of that good old fashioned American drama to Anguilla. Sinning and sunning on the island shores, the housewives gave us more than enough material to have us talking all week. Yet we somehow managed to narrow it down, so read on for our top 5 WTF moments from Season 5, Episode 6: "Hold On To Your Weaves!"
5. Peter and Kordell's Bromance
Let's face it: Cynthia Bailey's hubby, Peter Thomas, isn't known for his softer side. But on Sunday's episode, we saw a glimpse of his inner child when he was positively giddy at the prospect of meeting Porsha Stewart's husband and football legend Kordell "Slash" Stewart. And while the former pro didn't make it to the first couples set up, Peter made sure to invite these near strangers on an all expense paid trip across the world to join in their Anguilla fun.
When they finally met, we half expected starstruck Peter to ask Kordell to sign his chest. Watch out Cynthia, it looks Pet-dell might be upstaging you!
4. Gregg and NeNe: The Remix
Speaking of strange romances, this old-turned-new love story between Gregg and NeNe Leakes is getting downright awkward. You'd think that after NeNe brought her former flame all the way to an island paradise, he'd at least make a move on the girl! Watching NeNe try and coax a little lovin' from the hard of hearing Gregg was not a pretty sight, and it made us question why she's even heading back down that road. But then again, if Gregg's less than subtle comment to Peter about NeNe's late night activities was any indication, maybe he's just saving the magic for when the cameras go off?
3. Krazy for Kenya
On the other side of the room, things were getting a little too heated between Kenya Moore, and pretty much every male she set her eyes on — especially Mr. Phaedra Parks. Now we know the girl has a crush on the already spoken for Apollo, but this week she made that fact extremely clear as she engaged in some questionable flirting that ended with them both diving headfirst into dangerous waters. Literally.
2. Phaedra's Back(side)
Then again, we can't count out Phaedra Parks, who made sure to offer an outrageous reBUTTal of her own. Traipsing to breakfast the next morning, Phaedra went tit for tat with Kenya, showing off her considerable ASSets in a see-through fishnet maxi "dress" that did little to cover her thong bikini or considerable backside. While everyone was impressed by the BOOTY-ful show, we had to admit that it was a little more of the Georgia peach than we wanted to see. In any case, her gluteus was the absolute maximus. Sorry Kenya!
1. Now Accepting Donations
And rounding out this week's moments is, you guessed it, another Kenya classic. After striking out with both her own boyfriend, Walter, and Apollo, the former Miss U.S.A. was right back at it, zeroing in on the manager of their Anguilla hotel. Like a dog with a bone, Kenya wasted no time and engaged in some heavy flirting with the slightly terrified dude (who was kind of a hottie), but he was quick to tell her he was married. Undeterred, she went with Plan B, asking if he had perhaps ever considered donating to a bank. A sperm bank, that is. Now, we may be wrong, but that doesn't quite seem like the best ice breaker. Maybe try buying the guy dinner first before you suggest having his baby, Kenya?

Seattle, Wash. — Hershey Chocolate is suing a medical marijuana dispensary in Seattle for selling a product called Reefer's Cup, because the candy company says it is too similar.
The Conscious Care Cooperative also sells a product the Mr. Dankbar, which Hershey says resembles the famous Mr. Goodbar.
"So far right now we have no comments on it," an employee inside Conscious Care said. She did add that they sold out of those candies months ago.
"It's not even our product. It's just something that we carry. So it's a vendor. It's not us."
The Hershey Company spokesperson said this could cause confusion and tarnish the brand.
"These unauthorized uses of Hershey's trademarks also make the products more appealing to children," said the spokesperson.
On the Conscious Care Cooperative site, there are snacks that look like Goldfish, Gummy Bears , and Rice Krispies treats.
Connor Von Difloe says he's been fooled by the sight of friends eating pot candy.
"I've seen them eating chocolate. I'm like, 'oh, what are you eating?' They're like; it's a marijuana chocolate bar. I'm like, oh," said Von Difloe.
Down the block, the manager of another medical marijuana dispensary said brand knock-offs are common in the business.
"Whether or not is has a physiological effect, or benefits the patients necessarily, but because it's familiar, it's another way to make money," he said. And he said with recreational marijuana businesses starting up he sees this lawsuit as only the beginning of the problem.
We found other pot products online and in some stores that look a lot like well-known brands.
We reached out to some of those food companies, and Pepperidge Farm told us they had no idea there were pot-infused goldfish crackers. A spokesperson told me they would ask the dispensary to stop selling those.

Led by Jerry D. Jennings, deputy assistant secretary of defense for POW/Missing Personnel Affairs, the one-day session laid out the U.S. vision for improving U.S. remains recovery operations inside North Korea, as well as facilitating live sighting investigations.
Jennings, addressing Colonel General Li Chon Bok of the Korean People's Army, said "...our meeting gives each of us our first opportunity to provide an overarching vision for the direction in which we need to take the accounting issue in the future."
Jennings also spoke of past technical agreements, the result of which led to the recovery of the remains of more than 170 American soldiers over seven years. But he emphasized that progress is needed from the North Korean side to establish a mechanism for resolving reports of the possibility of Americans living or being held in North Korea.
He specifically called for access to American defectors living in North Korea, in an effort to shed some light on such reports.
Preserving the safety and security of Americans participating in recovery operations in North Korea is paramount, he added, and that safeguards at the sites must preserve their scientific integrity. He proposed that remains recovery operations be expanded in frequency, beyond the locations where they have been conducted in the past.
He called for follow-up technical negotiations to be held in December in Bangkok. The North Koreans agreed to continue a dialogue.
Teams of specialists from the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory Hawaii will complete the third of three operations in North Korea at the end of this month in Unsan county 60 miles north of Pyongyang, as well as near the Chosin Reservoir in the northeast part of the country. Similar U.S. teams have conducted 24 operations in the seven years since 1996.

Volkswagen BlueMotion Powertrain Maximizes MPG without Minimizing Practicality
By: Jeff Youngs, 1/10/2014
For this concept vehicle, which is painted in a planned production color called Reef Blue Metallic, Volkswagen swaps out the standard turbocharged, 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine in favor of a smaller turbocharged, 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. Torque figures are unchanged, measuring 184 lb.-ft., but the smaller motor does generate 20 fewer horsepower, coming in at 150 horsepower.
In addition to employing a smaller, less powerful engine, the Passat BlueMotion Concept is equipped with what Volkswagen claims is the first 4-cylinder engine in the world to offer cylinder-deactivation technology. The Active Cylinder Management (ACT) technology allows the engine to run on just two of its four cylinders under certain driving conditions. Additionally, an automatic start/stop system turns the engine off while the car is idling in traffic or at intersections, and when the driver lifts a foot to coast down a hill or in anticipation of a stop, the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) transmission decouples from the engine, allowing the Passat BlueMotion to roll with as little mechanical interference as possible.
Though just a concept for now, as evidenced by huge aluminum wheels that do nothing to improve fuel economy, a production version of the Passat BlueMotion is viable. Volkswagen could also extend this concept to the popular Jetta and other models in its lineup.

USING MILESTONE PAYMENTS: Prevent Non-Payment Situations in Corporate Writing By Yvonne Pesquera | printable version
"Diversify. Broaden your client base. Earn more money." This is typical advice given to corporate writers. But the risk of non-payment runs high when working with new clients - particularly small-to-medium-sized companies with fluctuating cash flow.
The best way corporate writers can protect against non-payment situations is to have your client agree to a "milestone" payment system. Draft a simple and clear letter of agreement (that outlines deliverables, deadlines and milestone payments) and ask your client to sign it.
How Milestones Work
Milestones are used in business to mark stages in development. When a company agrees to hire you for a project, that's a development. When you write a first draft and e-mail it to them, that's another development on the journey toward completing the project.
Different from the magazine industry (in which writers are subject to the publication's contract terms), emerging corporate writers may be heartened to learn that payment is more in our control in this market. Companies expect us to name our project fees and set our own payment terms.
For example, let's assume I quote a $1,000 project fee. I can make a common milestone arrangement with my client, such as:
Some writers may be shy about asking for an initial deposit even before they've written a single word. But veteran writer Mary Mihaly of Cleveland says, "I always ask for a deposit. It's just a standard, accepted way of doing business."
Mihaly explains that payment of an upfront deposit is especially important for projects that stretch across a few months. "The client has to do something to retain you."
Sheldon Gordon, a corporate writer from Toronto, says he once drafted a contract and presented it to a non-profit, setting out milestones at various stages, and indicating he would not proceed to the next stage until paid for the earlier stage. "I did this because the head of the non-profit was known to me as a 'slippery character,' and I did not want any misunderstandings. [The potential client] said he couldn't meet the terms of the contract, so there was no deal."
Payment Before Milestone
It sometimes happens that a writer delivers a draft, but does not receive the milestone payment. The next course of action falls upon the writer: Do you continue to deliver future milestone targets, or withhold until previously accomplished milestones are paid for?
Gordon says that many years ago, he agreed to do a project on terms that were ambiguous. "Before the next to last stage, the client indicated they had paid me. I disputed their interpretation of the contract and withheld the final, edited portion of the document."
Julie Catalano is a freelance writer from Texas and says she too had one of those "rare corporate nightmares." She had been contracted to write test items for an educational publishing company. "We got advance money, but somewhere in the middle - I had to write a rather snarky letter about not turning in the next batch until payment was received for the last. It took a few weeks but [my client] finally coughed it up. Obviously, I never worked for them again."
Benefits of Corporate Writing
Corporate writing is no panacea, but industry studies show that writers are gravitating toward corporate work - as the magazine industry continues to close doors to freelancers. Negotiating these types of payment arrangements is why Catalano loves corporate writing. She says, "Corporates 'get' it; they know good writers are not a dime a dozen. They know you get what you pay for."

NEW Backroads Custom Electric-Assist Bike
• The intuitive battery-operated BionX "pedal-assist system" adds a bit of power to each pedal stroke.
• When climbing hills it augments your pedaling, and on flat terrain it responds intuitively with less power, allowing you to pedal as you would on any standard bike—when you stop pedaling, the system stops delivering assistance.
• Just like riding a regular bike, you can't hear or smell it; the battery system is 100% silent, and there's no fuel being burned.
• Ideal for riders of different abilities who want to bike together without feeling forced to speed up or slow down.
• Available on all Biking Trips in Europe, Hawaii and North America starting on 3/1/14; $300 rental fee.

COVINGTON -- Crissy Alter of Covington and Amanda Baird of Loganville are good friends whose daughters, born seven days apart, share the middle name Hope and a love for competing in pageants.
Having experienced the pageant world themselves as competitors and through their daughters' competitions, the duo decided they would create their own local pageant that incorporated everything they like and leave out the parts they didn't. They decided to name their partnership Pageants of Hope, in honor of their daughters.
The inaugural Miss Covington Pageant will take place from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Eastside High School.
"We chose Covington because the only pageant here is Miss Newton County and it's limited to 10 people," Baird said. The Miss Covington Pageant has been designed to "bring out all ages and sizes and races and genders," she said.
Contestants will be broken into 10 age divisions ranging from birth to 22 and up. There is also a mother/daughter division and Tiny Mr. divisions for boys ages up to 2 years and ages 3 to 5.
Each division will have a queen or king and a first, second and third alternate. The winners will receive a tiara, trophy, custom-made sash and flowers, with alternates receiving a sash and trophy. Winners will ride in local parades and make appearances and do community volunteer work. Medals will also be given to the contestants deemed the most photogenic, best dressed, and who have the prettiest smile, prettiest hair and prettiest eyes.
Baird and Alter said they intend to donate a portion of proceeds from the pageant to local charities through their Grand Princess competition that allows competitors to solicit donations to earn points. A donation of $1 earns contestants one point; the contestant who raises the most money will be named Covington's Grand Princess. Donors are also being entered into a drawing for gift cards to local businesses.
All contestants can expect to walk away with something in hand.
"Everyone receives a participation trophy. Everyone receives a goody bag. We want each of the girls and boys when they leave, whether they went home with a crown or not, to still leave feeling like a princess or prince," Alter said, adding that pageants aren't just about competition.
"My daughter loves to be on stage and she loves to be the center of attention. It builds their confidence and their self-esteem. Her very first pageant, she laid down and cried and still walked away with it. They make a lot of friends," she said.
Admission for the general public is $5 for adults and $2 for children ages 3 to 11. Children 2 and under get in free.
The women hope to hold four pageants over the next year in Covington and surrounding areas including a December Divas holiday-themed pageant this winter. For more information, visit www.pageantsofhope.com.

The Festival of the Four Winds meta-achievement requires you to complete fourteen different achievements under the Festival of the Found Winds achievement panel. The meta-achievement will reward you with a Bounty of the Festival box that gives you 1,600 Festival Tokens and one Favor of the Festival. Get this meta-achievement done while this Living World story is active to get yourself some very nice rewards and achievement points.
Queen's Gauntlet
Within the normal Queen's Gauntlet there are eight different achievements to get:
- Bandit's Bane
- Destroyer Destroyer
- Flame Legion Finisher
- Pirate Purger
- Centaur Culler
- Ogre Obliterator
- Gauntlet Contender
- Gauntlet Favorite
All of the achievements associated with an enemy type require you to kill fifty of that enemy type in the Queen's Gauntlet to get credit. For example to get Bandit's Bane you would need to kill fifty bandits. The picture above shows you where you can acquire each achievement and will take little more than fifteen minutes per achievement if you focus on just killing those enemies.
Gauntlet Contender and Gauntlet Favorite require you to go into the second story of the Queen's Gauntlet and participate in the one on one challenges within the cages. Gauntlet Contender simply requires that you kill twelve bosses within the cages. Gauntlet Favorite makes it so you have to add a little bit more challenge to your fights and turn on a gambit for twelve bosses. For the two Gauntlet achievements you can repeat the same boss over and over again and still get credit for them. Pick a boss that you find easy, add on a Gambit like Hamstrung, and you should complete these achievements quickly.
Boss Blitz
There are seven achievements associated with Boss Blitz:
- Boss Blitz: Kill Kuraii
- Boss Blitz: Wallop Wiggin
- Boss Blitz: Slay Shurakk
- Boss Blitz: Slaughter Sparcus
- Boss Blitz: Put Out Pyroxis
- Boss Blitz: Beat Boom-Boom
- Boss Blitz
All of the Boss individual achievements merely require you to kill the named boss while Boss Blitz is active. You can finish this in one run of the event or over the course of multiple events. You can find out complete guide on Boss Blitz, including strategies for each boss, here.
Boss Blitz requires you to finish the dynamic event ten times in order to get the achievement. You can go to each boss in each event or just kill one boss and wait for everyone else to finish the event to get credit. If running with a coordinated group you can get this achievement done in little over an hour.
Labyrinthine Cliffs
In the Labyrinthine Cliffs there will be these eight achievements to complete:
- Aspect Assassin
- Aspect Victor
- Crate Consumer
- Dedicated Sprinter
- Ready, Willing, and Able
- Sky Crystal Master
- Sky Crystal Seeker
- Welcoming Party
Aspect Assassin and Aspect Victor take place within the Aspect Arena activity located within the Labyrinthine Cliffs. Aspect Assassin requires you to kill thirty opponents and to get Aspect Victor your team needs to win three matches of Aspect Arena. Choosing the best strategy for this really depends on play style, but I found the Lightning Aspect to be the better aspect to have in order to move swiftly around the map and to stop your opponent from scoring.
In the Sanctum Sprint activity there is the Dedicated Sprint achievement that requires you to place in the top three for ten games. Doing this takes practice but the general idea is to use Light Dash at almost every opportunity and get as many crystals as you can so you can Light Dash more often. Always go for the utility buffs on the map because they can give you the Aspect Master skill which boosts your aspect abilities for a short time.
Within the Cliffs themselves you can complete the Ready, Willing, and Able, Sky Crystal Master, Sky Crystal Seeker and Crate Consumer achievements. To get Ready, Willing, and Able you need to participate in the Flying Dolyaks or Charged Crystal collection dynamic events five times. Crate Consumer simply requires you to open ten Zephyrite Supply Boxes that vendors will trade to you for raw materials. Finally Sky Crystal Seeker and Sky Crystal Master require you to find forty Sky Crystals and ten Master Sky Crystals.
Finally, Welcoming Party simply needs you to participate in the instanced story that introduces the Zephyrites back to Lion's Arch. You can find this instance near the Consortium shops, where the boat takes you to the Labyrinthine Cliffs.

On Wednesday, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution calling on all member states to observe a truce during next year's Beijing Olympics and the subsequent Paralympic Games. Ancient Greek states halted warfare for the Olympics, and the General Assembly has adopted Olympic truce resolutions since 1993. This year, China sponsored the UN resolution and crowed about it in state media afterward.
This is one Chinese Communist initiative that I endorse heartily. In fact, I like it so much I think the concept should be extended. For example, during these sporting events Beijing could withdraw its support for the Sudanese government and the murderous Janjaweed militia; refuse to sell small arms to Iran so that it can send them to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan; stop its diplomatic backing of Tehran's atomic ayatollahs and pull back its nuclear technicians in Iran; suspend its assistance to North Korea, Zimbabwe, and Burma; discontinue its campaign of cyber-attacks on other governments; and, if all of this is not too much to ask, take a break from conspiring with Moscow to commit mischief around the world.
Even more important, I suggest that, during the Olympic events next year, the Chinese Communist Party suspend its struggle against the legitimate aspirations of the Chinese people. While the truce is in effect the Party would, among other things, lift all censorship of the media, allow people to assemble and protest, free all jailed dissidents, stop all forced sterilizations and abortions, end the practice of destroying places of worship and beating parishioners, and prohibit local officials from engaging in their normally rapacious behavior.
Under my temporary truce proposal, the Party could resume its malignant practices, both at home and abroad, once the Games are over. Of course, the risk is that the world enjoys the breather so much that the General Assembly decides to ban Beijing's despotism forever. That is a lot to ask from the UN, but we don't have to worry. I'm sure the Chinese people would not let the Communists go back to their old way of doing things.

Coach Andrew
Sponsor a Player
Dear Family, Friends and Fans:
Thank you for your support of the Florida State College volleyball program. The last 22 years have been exciting, rewarding and successful thanks to the great support the team has received throughout the years. This season we were proud to represent our college at the NJCAA National Tournament by winning the Gulf District Championship.
Each fall brings new student athletes and new challenges. These challenges have been met each year under the leadership of Coach Andrew and her staff. This high level of quality competitive performance on the court is matched by quality performance in the classroom. We are always aware of the commitment necessary to be successful in our studies and to continue our academic education.
In spite of a difficult economy for all, the volleyball program continues its history of success in the classroom and on the court. But like all programs involved in college competition these days, the challenges of rising costs, limited resources and increasing competition are growing.
Our mission is now to find new ways to bridge the gap between what we currently have to offer and what we need to offer our student athletes in order to maintain the competitive edge. We are hoping for an assist from those close to us who wish to see us succeed in our sport and our careers.
The passion for volleyball and education is alive here at Florida State College, and with your help, we are committed to continuing our tradition of excellence. Help us to keep the volleyball BlueWave going strong as we remain committed to success in our college careers.
Thanks for believing in us, our staff and our mission. Support our team — sponsor a player today!
