New UNH logo draws mixed reactionsBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 08. 2013 9:25PM
Release of the new logo for the University of New Hampshire brought less-than-enthusiastic reaction from fans at the UNH-Boston College hockey match at the Whittemore Center in Durham Saturday, and social media has been alive with criticism of the new branding mark.
But a Manchester advertising executive who has done trademark identification campaigns for other state agencies said the new logo does what it supposed to do.
UNH has formally adopted a blue and white shield with the initials NH in block capital letters, the N in blue against a white background and the H in white against a blue background.
The simplicity of the design, while criticized by some who prefer something a bit more complex, is appreciated by advertising executive Gary O'Neil of Manchester.
"The best logos are the most simplistic. All your major brands use simple logos," O'Neil said. "TD BankNorth, a very well known logo, is very very simple; they use it in a variety of formats."
UNH students at the arena were accepting, but indifferent.
Sophomore Jess Snowdon was among those not impressed by the difference between the new logo and the cupola of Thompson Hall, which was prominent on the former logo that was used for the past few decades.
"It looks a little old-fashioned," Snowdon said of the new design. "It looks almost like we're an online college — just a place you can just take online classes."
Others were sad to see the representation of Thompson replaced.
"It's OK," said Kate Murray, a senior. "I liked the (Thompson Hall) one better, but I guess it didn't include the other locations."
The growth and expansion of the school over the past decade may have outstripped lingering alumni nostalgia for the traditional logo. But O'Neil sees the tradition more about a campus than the school.
"They had to get a unified look," O'Neil said. "The pastoral look of Durham, when I went to school it was neat but it doesn't really fit the university today if they want to be a big research university."
Social media, perpetually enthused by the opportunity to caustically dismantle the work of others, rang with criticism over the redesigned logo. It was variously compared to community college logos, the universal "H" for hospital and a failed high school design class project.
But designing a logo for the University of New Hampshire, with its 24 letters, demands shortcuts.
When the logo was first unveiled at the hockey game Saturday night, O'Neil said he wasn't immediately overwhelmed at first glance, but began to appreciate what he terms its "crisp" appearance.
"'New Hampshire' is extremely hard to work with, it's way too long" O'Neil said. "You have to stack it, it's too much to do horizontally; by making it simplistic, it's OK."
It's more than just the name, O'Neil said. Graphic symbols are used for everything trom business cards and letterhead to traffic signs, Web pages and wearing apparel. Instantenous identification, along with quality reproduction in all of its uses, must be considered in the design.
"We are in an incredible new century where graphics are vitally important," O'Neil said.
Some constructive criticism was offered. Suggestions have been made to make the shade of blue used match the traditional UNH color. Others suggested the shield appearance might be more effective if it was curved into the shape of the letter U, to emphasize all letters in the school nickname.
"I don't know why they went with a shield," said Allison Wood, a UNH sophomore. "It's got an older look to it."
Some logos are redefined and evolve over the year. O'Neil points to the famous Nike "swoosh" which was born as a mark of emphasis to a lettered name, but which now is instantly identifiable on its own.
While refinements are possible, the underlying reason for the logo change probably won't change, in O'Neil's view.
"I was used to the old one and it's been a long time and prior to T-Hall, it was almost bucolic farmland" O'Neil said. "But UNH is so much different today, it's a more contemporary university."

Delegate dump: Protecting the New Hampshire Presidential primary calendar
January 06. 2014 6:00PM
A proposal working its way through the Republican National Committee holds some promise for protecting New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. It supposedly gives RNC primary calendar rules real teeth. Still, we wonder how sharp those teeth are.
The plan, which remains in the Rules Committee, would allow Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada to hold their contests in February. Any large state that jumps the calendar would lose all but nine of its delegates to the Republican National Convention. A state with 30 or fewer delegates would lose all but six.
But as we saw in 2012, big states don't care much about losing delegates if they think they can pick the nominee by jumping line. They know that the nominee will see to it that their delegates are recognized anyway.
If delegate reduction is the only weapon the RNC has in this fight, then the rules should deny any delegates to a state that jumps ahead. No credentials, no admittance to the building, nothing. That would effectively negate the results of any primary held out of schedule. Any punishment short of that is unlikely to be a strong enough deterrent.

More than 40 people gathered together at the "Peace Bell" in AK Bissell Park at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, "to remember the victims of gun violence," a submitted release stated.
More than 40 people gathered together at the "Peace Bell" in AK Bissell Park at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, "to remember the victims of gun violence," a submitted release stated.
"Between the shootings at Columbine and Sandy Hook, there have been 24 instances of mass shootings and the Peace Bell rang for those killed," the release added. "Then, as candles were lit, the names of the 20 children and six teachers at Newtown (Conn.) were read and the bell tolled for each.
"The tears came to many as they listened to the names of those precious 6- and 7-year-old children taken before their time by a young man with an assault weapon," the release said. "Each person present signed a petition to their members of Congress, joining the other 92 percent of Americans who want Congress to — at the least — pass a law requiring background checks for the purchase of guns at gun shows and online."
As he held a copy of the U.S. Constitution, Harold Waddle, "an outdoorsman and hunter all his life," reportedly said this isn't taking away rights … "but is common sense."
Additionally, Jake Morrill "and two other ministers of the Unitarian Universalist Church stood together as Jake spoke passionately about whether we are for those who take arms and kill or for those, like the children of Sandy Hook, who need our protection."
The Senate was scheduled to debate the Safe Communities, Safe School Act of 2013 this week. Rallies were planned nationwide by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Organizing for Action and MoveOn "to say that we have not forgotten."
The Oak Ridge event originated with the local Organizing for Action volunteers, the release stated.
This information was submitted by Joan Nelson of Oak Ridge.

Somersworth man said toddler fussed so he tied him in a blanketBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
June 17. 2013 1:08PM
DOVER – Emotions ran high as a Somersworth man appeared in court Monday after he allegedly "recklessly smothered" his girlfriend's son at the start of Father's Day weekend.
Jared Pope, 30, of 231 High St., Apt. 2, was charged with manslaughter after reporting to authorities that Noah York, 2, was choking "on some meat or milk," according to Geoff Ward, an attorney with the N.H. Attorney General's Office.
Ambulance crews transported the toddler to Wentworth Douglas Hospital in Dover where he was later pronounced dead.
Ward said hospital staff used X-rays to determine there was no obstruction. He said Pope later "admitted he was involved" in the death, which has been ruled a homicide.
Pope, who has been held at Strafford County jail since his arrest, was arraigned via video conferencing this morning in 7th Circuit Court, Dover District Division.
Judge Stephen Morrison entered no plea for Pope, as he is facing a felony charge, and he scheduled a probable cause hearing for June 28 at 10 a.m.
Based on the severity of the offence, circumstances surrounding the incident and past history, Ward recommended bail be set at $250,000 cash only with the conditions Pope have no contact with the Somersworth woman or any child.
"This is not an accident," Ward said. "This is not an accidental smothering."
Ward, who would not comment on a motive, said Pope was living with his girlfriend and the child. He would not provide further details about their relationship or comment on other charges as the case remains under investigation.
Ward said Pope allegedly swaddled the toddler – who is not his son — in a blanket and tied the child down with rope "because the child was fussing."
After the child continued to cry, squirm and scream, Ward said Pope allegedly wrapped the child in a sheet, placed a pillow on top of the toddler – who was face down – and "pinned down" the boy with a duffle bag which weighed 15 to 20 pounds.
Ward said Pope, who was alone with the child, said he left the toddler alone for about 5 to 10 minutes. Ward said the toddler's injuries showed the child attempted to get free.
"The initial lies are an issue," Ward said, who added Pope allegedly hid the evidence by moving the blankets, rope and duffle bag he used to smother the child into his own room.
An autopsy was conducted at the state Medical Examiner's Office Saturday.
Ward said this was not the first time Pope had allegedly restrained a child, although it was to a lesser degree in the past. He said the boy appeared to have rope marks on his arm from previous incidents.
Should Pope make bail, Judge Morrison set conditions that Pope must not use drugs, have any weapons and refrain from using alcohol. Before being released on bail, Pope must also sign a waiver of extradition and be monitored by Strafford County Community Corrections Program via GPS.
Attorney Cynthia Robinson of the N.H. Public Defender's Office did not argue against the bail but mentioned Pope may want to re-address the no-contact order with minors in the future as he has "biological children."
When asked, Ward would not provide details about the ages, status or whereabouts of Pope's biological children.
"I'm not going to get into his other children," Ward said.

Janitor accused of stealing Keene State book fine money
March 17. 2013 10:17PM
KEENE - A Keene man employed as a member of a crew that cleans Keene State College has been charged with theft, accused of taking money from a late book fine jar at the library.
Keene Police Sgt. Mike Kopcha said his department was involved in an investigation spanning a few months, after receiving reports that money was being taken from a jar located on a counter at the college's library, where students deposit money for late book returns.
"Due to the high volume of people who had access to the library, it was impossible to identify a suspect," said Kopcha.
Kopcha said the library was closed to students over spring break, and that the only access to the library the day the most recent theft occurred was a cleaning crew from Unico, according to records showing security card swipes.
Kopcha said a Keene man, Zachary Prentice, 28, who was employed by Unico as a cleaner was not a member of the crew assigned to clean the library that day, yet records show he swiped a security card to access the facility.
Kopcha said a warrant was issued for Prentice, and he was picked up at his home on Pearl Street at 6 p.m. Saturday, charged with four counts of misdemeanor theft. Kopcha said police estimate, in total, about $200 was taken from the fine jar over several months.
Prentice was held on a separate bench warrant, and is due to be arraigned today at the 8th District Court in Keene.

By Jeff McLane
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said that the Eagles would remain patient in their search for the team's next head coach.
Asked if the process was taking longer than he had imagined -- the Eagles are ten days in -- Roseman said that owner Jeffrey Lurie was adamant "that the key is getting the right guy. The key isn't getting the right guy as quickly as possible."
The Eagles have interviewed five candidates thus far, have another scheduled for tomorrow and have been granted permission to interview three more coaches. They were also set to meet with two other possibilities, but those interviews were canceled after one coach stayed with his team and the other signed with another team.
Lurie, Roseman and team president Don Smolenski aggressively pursued Oregon coach Chip Kelly and Penn State coach Bill O'Brien out of the chute. They interviewed both last week. Kelly's interview lasted nine hours and he took a day to decide on whether he wanted to leave for the NFL, but ultimately elected to stay at Oregon. O'Brien met with Eagles last Thursday and decided later that day that he wasn't leaving State College.
The Eagles were granted permission to interview Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, but he signed a contract extension and stayed in Atlanta last week. The team was also set to meet with Syracuse coach Doug Marrone on Sunday, but he agreed to become the Bills' next head coach only hours earlier.
Because a number of the coaches linked to the Eagles have dropped out for various reasons, some are wondering if the team is as attractive as Lurie claimed it was last week after he fired Andy Reid. Roseman was asked what made the Eagles attractive to candidates.
"They know we have a great owner who's going to support and give as much resources as possible to make sure we succeed," Roseman said. "They know that we just supported a coach for 14 years. So we're built that way. This whole organization is built to support a head coach. They know that not only in action but in words. All they have to do is call Andy Reid."
"We've developed a family here. People that have been here have been here a long time. They've grown together. … Not saying we're a perfect franchise by any stretch of the imagination. It's a great tribute to Jeffrey and what he's building here."
Reid signed a five-year contract with the Chiefs last week. He and Marrone are the only two head coaching hires thus far. The Browns, Bears, Cardinals and Chargers, along with the Eagles, are still looking for head coaches.
Aside from Kelly and O'Brien, the Eagles have also interviewed Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong. They are slated to interview former Bears coach Lovie Smith on Thursday. And they have been granted permission to meet with Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
Some believe that McCoy will land in Chicago and that Arians will end up in San Diego. The Eagles are the only team thus far to ask to speak with Bradley.
In other Eagles-related news, trainer Rick Burkholder will visit with the Chiefs to see if he wants to follow Andy Reid to Kansas City.
The Eagles' long-time head athletic trainer is still under contract, but the team is "allowing him to seek an opportunity" with Reid "if that is what is in Rick's best interest," a spokesman said.
Burkholder was Reid's wing man for 14 seasons. He joined the Eagles after spending six seasons as an assistant athletic trainer with the Steelers.

Hudson senior center warrant item amended, budget to go forward as is following town deliberative sessionBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
February 02. 2013 2:44PM
HUDSON -- A move to place raises for Hudson's department heads back into the proposed operating budget failed by a narrow margin at Saturday's town deliberative session.
The secret-ballot vote failed as attending citizens were divided in their opinions on the matter, with 46 voting "no" and 44 voting "yes."
The move would have added $16,0000 to next year's proposed $28,832,690 operating budget, which is $35,918 higher than the default budget and would represent a one-cent per thousand tax increase next year.
Another secret-ballot vote was taken on a proposal to remove $13,000 in raises for library workers from the operating budget also failed to pass, with 47 citizens voting "no" and 40 voting "yes."
Several amendments were passed on the floor for Article 12, a proposal to build a $1,778,022 facility housing a new senior center and local cable access studio at Benson's Park.
Town Clerk Patti Barry said the bottom-line number was increased to $1,821,515 to reflect more current building estimates, including the cost of the building's roof.
Monies from the town's Cable Access Center Capital Reserve Fund had initially been set at $844,467, but have since been increased to $895,595.
The article also includes a provision for the Hudson Seniors Council on Aging to contribute $303,504 towards the project: that amount has been increased to $305,528.
A transfer of $512,055 funds from the Future Senior Center Capital Reserve Fund was amended to reflect a $9,659 reduction in funds.
If approved by voters next month, the new Hudson Senior Center and Hudson Community Television building will be built near the park's entrance off Kimball Hill Road.
The two-story facility would be designed to fit in with the site's existing construction as it will resemble a big, red barn, with the TV studio operating out of the basement and senior activities held upstairs.
Also moved forward to the March 12 ballot were five Hudson union contracts: the combined contracts would represent a 14 cent per thousand dollar tax rate impact if passed next month.

Concord High gun threat a hoaxBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 30. 2013 11:55PM
CONCORD — Police acknowledged they were overwhelmed Tuesday night when a false report of a gun-totting teenager was exacerbated by social media.
The false report of a gunman at Concord High School caused police to activate the regional SWAT team, said Lt. Timothy O'Malley.
The police secured and evacuated the school. Simultaneously, people were posting inaccurate messages on social media. Some said a bomb went off. Another urged people to go to the school, which caused additional problems for police.
Meanwhile, citizens and reporters contacted the station.
"The more you say, 'No, this didn't happen,' then you get 'what did happen?' while at the same time we're trying to figure out what the reality is in the midst of the incident," said Police Chief John Duval.
Duval said police have dropped criminal-threatening charges against an 18-year-old originally thought to have brought a gun to the school. They are investigating statements made by a minor student who police said lied about the gun threat. She may be charged with a crime, Duval said.
Previous story follows:
CONCORD - An 18-year-old male is in custody after police said they were called to Concord High School at 7:35 p.m. for a report of one student threatening another with a gun.
The teen was arrested off school grounds, police said, but not before the school was evacuated and surrounded by a massive law enforcement presence - including more than 30 police cruisers and a special operations armored vehicle.
About 50 people were inside the building taking adult music classes and a college culinary class, Assistant Principal Steve Rothenberg said. There were also some students filming a movie, he said; some wore makeup, including fake blood.
There were no injuries in the incident, Rothenberg and police said.
"What we can tell you is that everybody is safe," Rothenberg said about 10 p.m.
The 18-year-old was charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, a class B felony. Police would not say if a weapon was recovered.

It is unfortunate that you failed to include a photo of the Vernal, Utah, main street in your editorial on that subject. The display exhibited on Vernals main street cant be fully appreciated without seeing it. It is truly a spectacle to behold, quite beautiful and stunning. I saw the flowers in early October, and even that late in the season it was in its fullest finery. The comparison to Cortez is quite appropriate in terms of town similarity, but as you describe, Cortez is more of a dusty little town, whereas Vernal appears just the opposite, a thing of beauty from one distant end to the other.
Obviously there are a lot of hands involved and a lot of work, but it would be as well worthwhile for ambitious Cortezans as for the citizens of Vernal.

After two hours of testimony and debate Monday, the Durango Planning Commission voted 3-2 to recommend that a historic assay house, which was built in 1898 to assess the value of ore from local mines, to stay in the business of evaluating assets, this time as an office for a growing financial firm called Swan Wealth Advisors.
Opponents, which included city staff members and the Third Avenue Boulevard Association, had called the buildings origins irrelevant to their objective of protecting East Third Avenue as a historic residential neighborhood and avoid setting a precedent for allowing more homes to turn into commercial properties.
If we start allowing a variance for everyone who requests one, then it will eventually become a business district instead of a residential street, stated a letter from Maxine and Carroll Peterson to the city.
This is the fear commonly known as commercial creep, but an argument was also made that the assay house was a victim of residential creep.
Durango did not get zoning laws until 1948. The assay house, which is at the very southern end of East Third Avenue near hotels and the railroad, was then zoned for industrial use.
When the neighborhood was rezoned as residential in 1986, its owner then supported the rezone, said a city staff member.
Later owners, however, had difficulty selling the brick house because of its noisy location near the railroad and U.S. Highway 550/160.
Swan Wealth Advisors acquired the property in 2010 for its stunning views of the Animas River. The picturesque location would help to impress wealthy clientele who fly into Durango on private jets.
Because they work in the high-stress business of options trading, they liked the privacy of a house where they can unwind with a gym and a basketball hoop in the driveway, said representatives and staff who spoke Monday.
Randy Swan, the principal, said he thought he was complying with the special-use permit for a residential business because he considered his office as a second home, even welcoming out-of-town relatives to stay there. His primary house is on County Road 206.
Karen Anesi of the Boulevard Association, who also is a freelance food writer for The Durango Herald, paid the firm a visit after the Herald published a story about the firms success, reporting that it manages $150 million for clients.
Anesi then complained to the city that the firm was no longer a residential business but a commercial office.
In particular, the firm violated a condition of its permit that it could not have more than two employees at the house. The firm added its sixth employee last summer.
Im not a financial adviser, but I know the difference between one and six employees, Anesi said.
The firm then applied for a conditional-use permit to continue to use the building, agreeing to see only one client per week at the office, to keep limited business hours between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and getting permission to use the parking lot at the Best Western hotel behind their building.
The firm also got support of neighbors who live closest as well as the backing of the Durango Chamber of Commerce. The La Plata Economic Alliance, which is neutral on the issue of the conditional-use permit, did a report on the firms economic impact at Swans request, estimating its business indirectly supports 10 jobs in the community.
Planning Commissioner Joe Lewandowski was troubled that the firm seemed to be asking for forgiveness instead of permission, but he and Commissioners Ronald Meier and Jan Derck voted for the conditional-use permit because of the buildings out-of-way location and other circumstances.
Planning Commissioners Steve Eccher and Peter Tregillus voted against the permit.
The debate continues because the City Council must ultimately approve the permit. It will host a public hearing Feb. 19.

Gun control is one of those topics I've been largely trying to avoid writing about. It is one of those things that nobody can seem to agree on, but about which everyone has a strong opinion.
Gun control is one of those topics I've been largely trying to avoid writing about. It is one of those things that nobody can seem to agree on, but about which everyone has a strong opinion.
What changed my mind on the subject was the denial of the recent bill which would have expanded background checks to all gun buyers. The denial had me scratching my head and wondering why? Why not pass a bill that 90 percent of America supported?
The only answer given was this: some Senators were worried that by passing the bill, they would be working toward a national gun registry.
If this new bill would have been about creating a national gun registry, I too would have been opposed to it. If it would have been about taking away guns from legally armed citizens, I would have been opposed to it. As it was neither of those things, I don't understand the reasoning.
I am happy to say that US Senators Franken and Klobuchar supported the expansion of background checks – so that individuals buying from a private party would have to undergo the same background check that they would purchasing from a licensed dealer.
This wasn't a second amendment issue – no one was trying to take guns from legally wielding citizens. And, the bill may not have prevented tragedies like the Newtown shooting from taking place – but it would have made it more difficult for people who shouldn't have guns (people who make legal and law abiding gun owners look bad) to purchase a weapon.
It would appear that the do-nothing congress has continued to do nothing after an election season that was full of bickering and negative campaigning. When a bill with 90 percent approval from the general public gets shot down, questions have to be asked of our elected officials and of ourselves.
We have the power to change America through our ability to vote – not just during presidential elections, but during midterm elections as well. We need candidates who look out for the people they represent, rather than the party they represent. As it stands, the politicians we have elected recently have not done us any favors. This being the latest example of lobbyists getting their way while the general public is ignored.

Do you consider yourself having a great speaking voice and thought about the possibility of earning an income with it?
Despite the economic downturn, a particular industry is on the rise: Voice acting.
According to Warren Garling of Voice Coaches, a company that specializes in voice-over training, production and evaluation, the voice-over industry is booming and voice actors are needed for a variety of purposes.
"A lot of businesses and government agencies got cut back and couldn't afford to send new employees for training," says Garling. "These days workplace training can be found on videos or DVDs. Voice acting is in demand to narrate these types of videos."
On Dec. 16, local residents will have the opportunity to learn more about this growing industry by attending "Getting Paid to Talk," an evening that will introduce the world of voice acting sponsored by Independence Adult Education.
Garling says voice acting is not only needed for job training or educational videos, but for the video game industry as well.
"The video game industry now makes more money annually than Hollywood," says Garling. "The recent release of the 'Grand Theft Auto V' game featured more than 700 voice actors."
Overall, most people do not see the budding industry as a business, says Garling. "Actually less than 10 percent of voice acting jobs available are commercials."
"Whenever you hear a voice that doesn't have a face, that's voice acting," he continued. "From elevators to phone recordings, the industry has exploded since the advent of the Internet 10 to 15 years ago."
Voice Coaches mentioned that given today's technological mobility, voice artists are now able to work from home. Also, according to Forbes.com, voice actors can earn an average of $50,000 to $80,000 a year.
Attendees at "Getting Paid to Talk" will learn the basics of everything voice acting-related such as working in the studio, effective demo production methods, and where to find job opportunities in the industry. They will also have the opportunity to record a mock commercial under the guidance of a Voice Coaches producer, says Garling.
"It's going to be a fun and entertaining two and a half hour course," Garling adds. "You'll leave deciding whether or not voice acting is for you."
The Getting Paid to Talk course will be held at Truman High School in Independence on Monday, Dec. 16 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. To enroll, visit the website www.isdschools.myprogramplus.com or call 816-521-5507. The class fee is $27 per person. Registration will be accepted up until the day of the course, but enrollment is limited to the first 25 attendees.

Gregg Nadel has been named President of Elektra Records, a division of the Atlantic Records Group. The announcement was made today by Atlantic Chairman CEO Craig Kallman and Chairman COO Julie Greenwald. Nadel, who has been General Manager of Elektra for the past two years, is a twenty-year veteran of the Atlantic family. Prior to becoming Elektra's GM in early 2015, he was Senior VP, AR and Marketing, for Atlantic. Nadel will continue to be based at Atlantic's headquarters in New York City.
Nadel joined Atlantic straight out of college in 1997. Moving up the AR ranks, he went on to sign such artists as Zac Brown Band, 2016 multi-Grammy nominee Sturgill Simpson, and acclaimed Icelandic band Kaleo, among others. At the same time, he honed his marketing skills, leading to his spearheading of campaigns for artists such as Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and Vance Joy. In 2015, he forged a partnership between Elektra and Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb's Low Country Sound label, whose releases thus far include the celebrated Southern Family compilation.
"Atlantic has a homegrown tradition of nurturing our leaders from within the family, and Gregg is a shining example of that philosophy," said Craig Kallman. "He has literally grown up at this company, evolving into one of the most gifted and admired AR people in the business, while at the same time becoming a marketing ace for superstars and new artists alike. Each label within Atlantic has a distinct, independent point of view, and Gregg has proven time and time again that he has the vision, taste, deep knowledge, and broad experience that make him the perfect choice to carry the esteemed Elektra name into the future."
"I first met Gregg 12 years ago when I joined Atlantic," said Julie Greenwald. "He was a very smart, thoughtful marketing guy who was also doing AR and had identified some great baby acts. So Craig and I decided to split him down the middle – I'd work with him on marketing and promotion strategy, and Craig would teach him how to become an amazing record-maker. As a result, Gregg is a real rarity in our business – a great AR guy who can also put together a killer marketing campaign from the ground up. There is no doubt his superb taste and business savvy will make the new Elektra a center of musical excellence."
Elektra founder Jac Holzman noted, "I've come to know and admire Gregg's passion for new music, the quality of his choices, and his willingness to go out on a limb — all key to having multiple successes."
"I am thrilled to be part of a new chapter in the history of this revered label," said Gregg Nadel. "Since the day Jac Holzman launched Elektra as an indie label nearly 67 years ago, the label has stood for quality, driven by an artist-centric, entrepreneurial spirit. I'm looking forward to carrying on that tradition by making Elektra a home for special artists with unique visions. Having spent my entire career in the Atlantic family, being given the opportunity to oversee one of its legendary labels is a dream come true. I want to thank Craig and Julie for this fantastic opportunity."
The Elektra Records roster today includes artists such as Fitz and the Tantrums, Kaleo, Anderson East, Brent Cobb, Saint Motel, Finish Ticket, and others. Founded in 1950 by music pioneer Jac Holzman, Elektra is one of the most influential and iconic labels in the business, from its origins in traditional folk and ethnic music to launching the careers of such seminal artists as Judy Collins, the Doors, and the Stooges. Defined since its inception by an artist-driven environment, the label has championed a boundary-crossing roster, from the Eagles to Metallica, from Natalie Cole to Missy Elliott. In 2004, with the new independence of Warner Music Group following its sale by Time Warner, Elektra was merged into the Atlantic Records Group and officially relaunched in 2009.

With the four Gators selected Saturday, it upped UF's total to eight players taken in the seven-round draft, six more than a year ago.
The four Gators selected in the NFL Draft on Saturday have something in common. They're not leaving Florida.
The state, that is.
And three of the four will continue to be teammates.
Dolphins now, instead of Gators.
In a Dolphin-dominated draft day for the Florida Gators, Miami selected three UF players — outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins in the fourth round and tailback Mike Gillislee and kicker Caleb Sturgis in the fifth round, taken only two selections apart with the 31st and 33rd picks of the round.
"Man, I'm ready," Gillislee said, when asked how he felt about coming to Miami with two of his teammates. "I'm ready to connect back to those guys and I'm ready to compete.
"It feels good, man. I'm going to be closer to my family and I'm just ready to play football. It's good weather to play football and everything."
Another Gator drafted Saturday also is staying close to his college home. Only minutes after Gillislee and Sturgis were picked by the Dolphins, safety Josh Evans was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first pick of the sixth round.
"I mean, I like the team and it's really right up the street from where I'm at," Evans said. "Florida is like a second home to me. I did four years there, and Jacksonville is just a trip right up the road."
With the four Gators selected Saturday, it upped UF's total to eight players taken in the seven-round draft, six more than a year ago.
Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (Minnesota) and safety Matt Elam (Baltimore) were taken in the first round Thursday, while linebacker Jon Bostic (Chicago) and tight end Jordan Reed (Washington) were second-round picks Friday.
"It has been a great weekend for Florida football," UF coach Will Muschamp said. "I'm proud of all our players who had life-long dreams realized by getting drafted. They certainly have worked very hard and dedicated themselves to get to this point in their careers. I look forward to watching them and continuing to have them be a part of our program."
The SEC set a draft record with 63 players being selected.
The first Gator taken Saturday was Jenkins, who went to the Dolphins with the seventh pick in the fourth round and the 104th overall selection.
"I just want to be able to help out as best as I can, wherever the coach needs me, wherever the team needs me," Jenkins said. "I would like to go in there and be an impact (player) immediately. However I can do that, I would be happy to.
"I think I tackle real well and I also cover real well. Those are both things that I know I'm going to get better at as time goes. I think I have a lot of ability. I have a lot of hope for the future, knowing I'm going to get better. I'm looking forward to that."
Jenkins said he also was looking forward to being reunited with another former Gator in Miami, center Mike Pouncey, who was the Dolphins' first-round pick in 2011.
"Absolutely, absolutely," he said. "I'm real cool with Mike Pouncey and looking forward to being back in Florida as well."
A little later in the day, Jenkins found out he'd have even more Gator company in Miami.
In the fifth round, Miami kept its Florida connection going by using its two picks in the round to take Gillislee and Sturgis.
In his only year as the Gators' starting tailback, Gillislee rushed for 1,152 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2012. He was UF's first 1,000-yard rusher since Ciatrick Fason in 2004.
"I feel like I am a complete back," Gillislee said. "I feel like I can block, catch the ball and run the ball very well. I'm a good competitor and just being behind Chris Rainey, I learned a lot. I'm just ready to play football.
"The Dolphins were always my favorite team. It was always a dream, and now my dream came true."
Only a few minutes after Gillislee was drafted, Sturgis also got the call from the Dolphins. He was on the golf course at the time.
"I couldn't be more excited about staying in the state of Florida. My little brother is a huge Dolphins fan," Sturgis said. "This is a place that I really wanted to go and I'm just ecstatic that I get to come here.
"I saw Jelani (Jenkins) and (Mike) Gillislee (were also drafted by the Dolphins). That's awesome. They're both great dudes. I can't wait to watch them succeed."
Sturgis, a Lou Groza Award finalist the past two seasons, made 70 of his 88 field-goal attempts in his UF career and is considered by many to be the best kicker in school history.
Four selections after Sturgis got picked, Evans received his call from the Jaguars, who had the first pick in the sixth round.
"I just want to say it's an honor and privilege to be in this situation and be a part of a great organization like the Jaguars," Evans said. "I'm somebody who's committed, whether it's special teams, defense, wherever I'm needed I'm coming out there to make the best of my opportunity, to go out there and be able to compete."
Evans said playing multiple coverages at UF has prepared him for the NFL.
"It helped me a lot," he said. "Will Muschamp and Dan Quinn. Having those guys a part of my life my last two years at Florida really changed my career.
"It helped me for the next level as far as being able to anticipate certain calls and being in different situations at game time. Checking definitely on the back end, with the safeties pretty much being the quarterback of the defense."

Allen Lessels' UNH Notebook: Wildcats can't look back
New Hampshire Union Leader
DURHAM -- DICK UMILE and his No. 3-ranked University of New Hampshire hockey team liked the way they played and the effort they put forth against Merrimack College on Saturday night at the Whittemore Center.
They just weren't thrilled with the result.
Junior goalie Sam Marotta was on his game and turned away 51 shots to lead the Warriors to a 4-1 win and Merrimack sealed the season series between the teams, too, two games to one.
Mostly for UNH, it was another opportunity lost.
"This would have been a nice one to get a win from, definitely," said senior forward Austin Block. "It's a crazy conference and this is going to make it more interesting now. We've just got to lace them up and find a way to win some games."
After following up a 6-2 win over Merrimack at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester a week ago with a 3-1 in at Northeastern on Friday night, the Wildcats were looking for their first three-game winning streak since their last one ended on Dec. 6.
Marotta and Merrimack had other ideas.
"We're playing pretty good," said UNH junior forward Dalton Speelman. "Yeah, consistency and momentum is key, but we put up 50 shots and that's a pretty good amount of shooting in any league. We've just got to find a way to put the puck in the back of the net."
Second-place UNH squandered a chance to move into a first-place tie in Hockey East with Boston College.
Merrimack moved into third place, a point behind UNH, dropping Boston University to fourth. Providence is a point behind BU in fifth.
UNH and Providence play twice next weekend. They are in Providence on Friday night and play a rematch on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Whittemore Center.
The Friars held off the Wildcats, 6-5, two weeks ago in Durham. Providence opened up a 4-0 lead midway through the game and knocked Casey DeSmith, UNH's sophomore goaltender from Rochester, out of the game in the process.
The Wildcats got back to 6-4 with just under six minutes to play and made it a one-goal game with 13 seconds left on an extra attacker goal by Kevin Goumas.
Providence freshman Jon Gillies made 37 saves for the win.
Gillies and DeSmith are neck-and-neck in goaltending statistics. They are tied for third in Hockey East in goals against average (2.18) and Gillies is second in save percentage (.927) with DeSmith third (.926).
Tim Schaller, a senior forward from Merrimack, is PC's third-leading scorer with five goals and eight assists for 13 points.
THE UNH FOOTBALL TEAM is adding a couple more players who competed in the state last season to its defensive mix.
Ricky Holt is a defensive lineman from Portsmouth who was a three-year starter and helped the Clippers win the last two Division III state championships.
Odaine Franklyn, 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, is from White Plains, N.Y., and helped Proctor Academy of Andover to an 8-1 record and conference championship as a post-graduate last season.
Holt, 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds and a New Hampshire Union Leader all-stater, went on an official visit to UNH this weekend and accepted a scholarship offer late on Sunday afternoon. He also had offers from Marist and Stonehill.
"I liked UNH because it's close to home and they have a very, very good football program," Holt said. "They also graduate a high percentage of their football players and they usually have one of the highest team GPA's in the CAA. UNH said the ceiling is very, very high for me. I'm blessed to have this opportunity. I've been told I can play I-AA football and this is my chance."
Proctor coach Ben Rulli raved about Franklyn.
"First and foremost, he's an outstanding kid and UNH has itself a gem," Rulli said. "He's ferocious and the kind of kid who's a quiet leader and hard worker and lunchpail type of player. He's got a lot of football savvy."
Franklyn, said Rulli, had scholarship offers from Albany and Akron coming out of high school but chose to go the prep school route.
Albany and Maine had offered him this time around.
Franklyn, who's playing basketball this season, had 48 tackles for Proctor.
"He's deceptively fast," Rulli said. "He played some tailback for us this year and that was pretty scary for our opponents. Our guys were saying they were glad they didn't have to tackle him."
Holt and Franklyn plan to sign national letters of intent to officially accept their UNH scholarships on Wednesday. The signing period begins that day.
THE MEN'S AND WOMEN'S basketball teams had win streaks snapped on Saturday by Stony Brook.
The men fell just short to the America East leaders, 56-54, at home and the women lost at Stony Brook, 60-47.
The Wildcat men have been playing tougher defense and taking better care of the ball on offense in recent weeks and had 10 assists against seven turnovers against Stony Brook.
"This was a great opportunity for us," said men's coach Bill Herrion. "We're really competing and playing hard. If we continue to play this way, we're going to win some games."
UNH, 6-15 overall and 2-7 in America East, plays at Vermont on Wednesday night.
The Catamounts are 14-7 and 7-2 and beat UNH, 64-51, on Jan. 2 in Durham.
The UNH women play Vermont, 7-14 and 4-4, at home on Wednesday night.
Vermont knocked off UNH, 63-60 in overtime, on Jan. 2 in Burlington.
The track teams will be shooting for a top-three finish in the America East championships scheduled for the Reggie Lewis Track & Field facility next Monday and Tuesday in Boston.
"Albany, UMBC and Binghamton are all strong and Maine has got a lot of quality athletes," said UNH coach Jim Boulanger. "We'll try to break into that top group."
THE SKI TEAM finished third in the Vermont Carnival at Stowe behind Vermont and Dartmouth over the weekend and moves on to the Dartmouth Carnival next weekend.
Alpine events are at the Dartmouth Skiway and Nordic at Oak Hill.
THE WOMEN'S HOCKEY TEAM split a pair of games at Vermont over the weekend and is at Boston University on Saturday and has Connecticut at home on Sunday at noon.
The Wildcats are 11-14-2 overall and 7-7-1 in Hockey East. BU and Boston College each have 13-2-1 records to lead the league.
The Union Leader's Roger Brown contributed to this report.

Dizziness may cause you to feel light-headed or weak. You may feel like you are going to faint. Dizziness can happen for a short period or be a long-lasting condition that gets in the way of your daily activities.

9/10 - "Theres a hell of a lot in this game thats good, and in some cases is really good, and thats the stuff that really stays with you after you shut the game down. This is a great example of genuinely good ideas being put into practice in a way thats well done, if not perfect. A lot could have gone badly wrong with this game, and, for my money, its a damn impressive game and well worth a play."

There was some radio talk nonsense raising suggestion that the Seahawks should pick up Tebow to backup Wilson. Their idiotic thought process is that Tebow could fit in well in the read-option offense.
Tebow is NOT a good fit for Seattle. IMO Seattle is not a read-option offense, it is an adaptive offense. While Tebow might be able to run the read-option, the value of this scheme would diminish if there is no threat of a pass.
I have nothing against Tebow as a person, but I don't want him to be a Seahawk. IMO, he should move on from trying to be QB, and convert into being full-back (a la Mike Rob), or possibly a joker tight end.
This is my petition to NOT sign Tebow...cosign if you agree.

Mass. driver clocked at 114 mph on I-93 faces reckless driving charge
July 05. 2013 3:28PM
BOW - A Burlington, Mass., man was charged with reckless driving Friday morning after he was clocked at 114 miles per hour on Interstate 93 North at about 8 a.m.
New Hampshire State Police Trooper Sean Faherty said his radar unit clocked Lawrence Chiodi, 48, driving a 2012 Ford Mustang at almost 50 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Faherty stopped Chiodi just before the Interstate 89 junction and arrested him for reckless driving.
Chiodi was processed at the Troop D barracks and released on personal recognizance bail, with arraignment scheduled for Aug. 19 in 6th Circuit-District Division-Concord.
Faherty is a member of the New Hampshire State Police Special Enforcement Unit, which targets elevated speed violations and other aggressive driving behaviors. Members patrol across the state during commuter traffic periods and holiday travel times with the goal of keeping New Hampshire's roadways safe for all residents and visitors.

"Now, anyone working for OCBC Bank or its subsidiaries can squirrel away up to 15 days' leave and carry it forward to the next year so that they can stay home to help their child study for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE)."[Link]
Here is what Minister Josephine Teo wrote in her Facebook:
Make no mistake it is a high stakes game:
In my previous articles [Link, Link, Link], I wrote about the high stress that surrounds the PSLE exam. But I do not blame this on the parents, they are merely reacting to the system....and it is not "kiasuism", their fears are very real because the education system sorts children into various bins and with each bin is trapped in a certain expectation - this expectation shapes the achievements and the future of these children - Josephine Teo is wrong to say not the defining moment of a child's development - for many children it is, and the PSLE results is an important decider of their future.
Putting so much at stake and so much pressure of 12 year old children is very unhealthy and harms their long term development. It causes our children to over-achieve in the beginning and underachieve in the longer run because it puts the emphasis the wrong areas - exams over love of learning, learning fast vs deep understanding of basic principles.
To illustrate this lets look at some numbers. Suppose you take groups of students from various countries to test them. Lets take Israeli students, Hungarian students Austrian students, American students, Swedish students etc at age 14 , just after PSLE age and test them. Lets test them for math and instead of using all our students lets just have Malay students whom the PAP (the former PM Lee) frequently claims are weak at maths. Someone has actually done such a test [Link]and these are the results:
Fast off the starting blocks our students are pressure cooked to the point they are way ahead of everyone else. But education is a long distance thing not a short sprint and the important outcomes are measured at the end of their education not at the initial part. Despite this spectacular achievement at PSLE only 6% of our Malays students make it to university and even fewer to Science and Engineering....we only educate 27% of all our students to university level below the average of OECD countries....and our own govt prefers give university scholarship to foreigners than educate our world beating 12 year olds who rank number 1 in the world for maths and science. This is the dismal outcome of our education system.....all the extreme stress at PSLE yields very poor results at the end - this is the "work so hard for very little results" outcomes for the system. Compare this with the Israeli system that doesn't result in high exams scores in standardized testing - the score far lower that all our racial groups - but at the end they generate more than enough people for their high tech industry not to mention the highest Nobel Prize winner per capita in the world. Despite the frequent and sharp criticism of the Israeli system due to low test scores, there is one thing they do right ...and this secret makes a gigantic difference at the end in terms of final outcomes. I tell you what it is at the end of this posting.
Much of the student effort in our system which is now supplemented by a burgeoning tuition industry goes into trying to beat someone else at exams and achievement and ability is measured by exam scores....energy is spent getting yourself sorted to a better streams and schools. Such a system also does not distinguish us from the systems in China and India who can pressure cook more children and beat us by sheer numbers.
After putting our children through this pressuring system, the PAP govt tells us that it has to import foreign 'talents' to fill our university and generate economic growth and vibrancy. We have to invest wisely on education but what are we getting in the end? We have to educate each child to their fullest potential over a period of around 16 years not sort them out after 6 years and 'pigeon-hole' them into compartments of decline expectations. Such a system is great for social hierarchy with elite scholars occupying the apex in our society to provide top down directions....but where is the much needed creativity and innovation to propel us forward...in the end much social energy is lost in the sorting process as intense competition erodes the values of teamwork and cooperation that will elevate all in society not just the few to whom resources and opportunities has been disproportionately awarded
So what is the secret in the Israeli education system that makes it different? They spend the first 5-8 years of education encouraging their students to ask questions rather than teach them to answer questions. We do the opposite - we measure the success and achievement of a student and teachers by their ability to answer exam questions. Primary school education is all about learning the facts and methods to answer questions...and year after year the questions are made harder and harder differentiate students in terms of ability to answer questions. We destroy the ability of our students to challenge ideas because the faster the learn and accept, the better they do at the exams. This is why the Israeli system that produces 14 year old who are 19 places behind us in standardized maths and science tests come roaring back to over take us later. We start fast ...but they run further!...and it is the distance that matters.

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons are giving their fans the opportunity to choose a new crest.
This evening the Rodney Parade region will open a web vote that will run until 5pm on Tuesday to decide the logo for next season.
The options are being kept under wraps until the site goes live but the region are making no changes to their name and the current tail design will remain in some form.
The alterations will be to the typeface and the emphasis – one logo will focus on Dragons, another on Newport and there will be a third hybrid option.
"It's a brand refresh in that it's not going to be massively different but it will set the tone for the direction that we are going next season," said commercial and marketing consultant Ben Jeffreys.
The winning crest will be announced next Thursday and details of season tickets will be announced the following day with leaflets handed out at the final game on the season against Treviso on Saturday, May 10.
