A TANK AWAY FROM TOLEDO OR COLUMBUS
In Zanesville, a friendly librarian at John McIntire Library, Muskingum County Library System took us outside to point out the second floor of the Carnegie Library where the 1913 flood reached. http://www.ohiohistorycentral.com/image.php?img=834
He then took us upstairs to see the stained glass ceilings in the Carnegie wing of the renovated and enlarged library. In 1796, Ebenezer Zane was granted a commission to open a land route through Ohio between Wheeling, Virginia (later West Virginia) to Limestown, (later Maysville) Kentucky, a distance of 266 miles. Zane’s Trace would later intermingle with the National Road. http://www.ohionationalroad.org/zanes_trace.htm http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/back0803.htm
Zanesville (“Clay City,” “Y Bridge City,”) seat of Muskingum County and second capital of Ohio (1810-1812) has had a series of five bridges built in the shape of Y. Amelia Earhart said the Zanesville was the most recognizable city in the country from the air because of the Y bridge.

A dozen billboards around the state that urge Georgians to "Get Married, Stay Married" are sponsored not by a church or family-values group but by the Supreme Court of Georgia through its Commission on Children, Marriage and Family Law. Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears said that the 48-foot-wide, 14-foot-tall billboards are one of the few things a jurist can do to battle high crime rates, high divorce rates and low numbers of fathers raising their kids. Along with the "Get Married, Stay Married" slogan, each sign shows a happy-looking mother, father and child and one of two messages: "Children do better with parents together" or "For Children's Sake." "We paid $50,000 to get about $500,000 worth of billboard space to send this vital message," Sears said, noting that the costs of the billboards themselves were paid by the Georgia Bar Foundation and "not state money." The billboard space was donated by the Outdoor Advertising Association of Georgia, which donates unused billboard space to charitable, civic and governmental organizations. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202426226804

Paul Newman took extra effort in crafting his will to make clear that he wanted his likeness controlled in the exacting way he protected his image during his lifetime.
In a will that largely reveals his wish to donate most of his wealth to charity, Newman urged his executors to prevent uses of his image that he "did not approve during my lifetime," the New York Times City Room blog reports. Newman also specified that he didn't want his image to be used to promote any foods of lesser quality than the ones currently being offered by Newman's Own.
Newman also made clear that he didn't want his image manipulated to create performances that never occurred, explicitly noting that his executors should prevent any "virtual performance or reanimation of any performance by me by the use of any technique, technology or medium now in existence or which may be known or created in the future anywhere in the universe."

United States, December 2: Millions of people watched the sky last night to see the “smiley face” made by the planets Jupiter and Venus and the moon. Those who missed the amazing arrangement of the heavenly bodies need not fret, because tonight sky watchers will once again have the opportunity to see the planets making this unique arrangement. In the Southern Hemisphere, the heavenly bodies resembled a smiley face while it resembled a frowning face in the Northern Hemisphere. http://www.themoneytimes.com/articles/20081202/see_jupiter_venus_and_the_moon_s_celestial_show_once_again_tonight-id-1043244.html
