It was blue, with a graphic in the center, modeled after the Grant Theft Auto art, those colorful grids of sexy, violent imagery that adorn the covers of video games in that series. Only, on this shirt, believe it or not, things were done a bit differently. The central text read: "ITALIA: MEME CITY." Around that text, where there might normally be pictures of muscle-bound dudes with guns, or large-chested women with guns, was a grid of famous Italian tourist destinations: the tower of Pisa, the Coliseum, and so on. And superimposed in front of each scene was one of those stick-figure reddit "meme" characters. I can't remember the details — I was so flustered I didn't even take a picture — but for the sake of this blog post, imagine the "Me Gusta Face" in front of the Spanish Steps and, like, the "Forever Alone Guy" on a gondola in Venice. The "Challenge Accepted Guy" in front of the leaning tower. Shit like that. (In fact, these made-up examples might make a great deal more sense than what was probably on the shirt. The meme-to-landmark assignments struck me as even more random.)
There are few souvenirs better than a bizarre, failed novelty shirt. They reaffirm the existence of national and cultural boundaries in a globalizing world. And, above all else, they remind us how dumb the makers and wearers of novelty t-shirts are.
I couldn't bring myself to buy it, because I couldn't imagine anyone getting why this was so funny. Ironically liking memes only works well on the Internet, when everyone knows you're too savvy (or fancy yourself too savvy) for that. In real life, I'd look like a grown man who really likes reddit memes, which, guys, I'm totally not.
I swear.
One of the most incredible things about the skateboarding industry is how well it has insulated itself from all traditional forms of media. It took me at least 15 minutes to convince myself — combing through forums, Instagram posts, tweets and the like — it was true: Alien Workshop (and Habitat) went out of business. For non-skaters, it's difficult to draw a comparison; there aren't professional sports franchises known for their graphic design sensibilities, 16mm montages and commitment to East Coast grittiness. In fact, one episode of "The Osbournes" is probably Alien's biggest contribution to pop culture at-large in its 24 years in business.
So, it's perhaps appropriate that MTV fits in, at least obliquely, to the best narrative I can put together to explain how Alien Workshop went out of business so suddenly — and without explanation.
Rob Dyrdek, Alien Workshop's first rider, has aged out of skateboarding and done quite well for himself. He's been a fixture on MTV since around 2008, graduating from "Rob & Big" — a "reality" show based on a skit in a DC video — to "Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory," the latter of which is in its sixth season. MTV must have paid him well, because in early 2012, he bought DNA Distribution, the company that owns Alien Workshop, from the snowboarding company Burton.
He held onto it for just about 20 months, before selling DNA for $1.5 million and some stock options to a Carlsbad-based firm called Pacific Vector Holdings, which is described in the press release as "a premier action sports retail and consumer brands company." This is, if you can't already tell, where things start to go wrong.
PVH owned some No Fear clothing outlets and Gatorz sunglasses, and, by October of last year, one of the most storied brands in skateboarding history. Dyrdek, in a prepared statement, said that "The DNA brands are in great hands." The CEO of PVH, Robert Reynolds, called DNA "a foundational piece of our brands division as we continue to execute on our growth strategy."
Fortunately for us, dissecting Alien's death, PVH was — for reasons I can't pretend to fathom — a publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. As such, it must file earnings statements, which it did, through most of 2013. From these, we can learn what that "growth strategy" was — and what happened to Alien because of it.
PVH's last full report available on its website, for Q2 2013, shows that it was borrowing lots of money to acquire companies. In early 2013, it borrowed a few million to buy Ryderz Inc., which owns the No Fear stores. PVH was turning these into Prime Ride Shops, one of these pan-action-sports joints you get sort of used to seeing in Westfield Shopping Centres all over. In all likelihood, the company took out third-party loans to acquire DNA in similar fashion. Their cash holdings were just $800K in the middle of 2013.
But the CEO, Reynolds, was comfortable with that, at least according to prepared statements. A statement in early 2014 shows Reynolds triumphant, if cautious. He had reason to be proud: PVH's revenue was up more than twentyfold over last year. But, of course, all the revenue was the result of leveraged buyouts. He was saddled with debt, and needed to restructure his portfolio (and debt) in order to survive. He acknowledged as much, though maybe he was overconfident.
In March, this would seem to be going according to plan, even if the plan had ugly logic. PVH announced it would close 14 of the Ryderz shops in its portfolio as part of a "turnaround effort." Though PVH is, by definition, not a private equity firm, this is right out that playbook: Cut costs on the low performers, invest in the good stores, increase revenue, service debts — all sounds good. So long as your cash flow doesn't get fucked up.
Which appears to be exactly what happened.
Recently, PVH announced it wasn't able to file its 2013 earnings statements. Why? "The Corporation is currently not in a position to…file its 2013 Annual Financial Statements, primarily as a result of additional time required to secure financing and, subsequently, for its auditors to be compensated in order to complete the audit of the Corporation's financial statements." If I understand that correctly, that doesn't sound good! That was May 1st.
By May 8th, the company released another statement saying basically nothing, other than that it wasn't insolvent — we swear! — and that it'd get its financials out by June 13, with three press releases between.
The first of those came on May 15, last Thursday, and it didn't have good news: the company was $7 million in debt, but had convinced its debtors to convert their debt to equity in stock, at $0.12 CAD per share. It would close four more Ryderz stores and PVH employees agreed to take a pay cut. Also, it's looking to sell Gatorz sunglasses — and seeking a bridge loan of $300,000.
I'm not qualified to say what happened to Alien Workshop, because I don't sit on the board of PVH, and PVH's filings don't mention DNA. All I know is that by Monday the company was toast. Well, at least according to Instagram, the Slap forums and Twitter. So if you want to talk shit about corporate money ruining skateboarding, maybe go ahead?
Medium published the deepest dive into the Leland Yee scandal I've seen so far. And, aside from the fact that it appears to have been edited by someone who recently purchased a Zagat guide to San Francisco, it's excellent. Yee seems to have spent five years surrounded by all sorts of federal agents playing a dizzying cast of characters — a play he stumbled into and turned into farce. At one point an FBI agent, posing as a developer, has Yee call another FBI agent, posing as health department official, to have Yee steer business toward a buddy of his. Kicker: the business doesn't even exist; it's yet another FBI front.
As with many corruption cases (and, if I recall correctly every terrorism case post-9/11) Yee's wrongdoing happened in an alternative universe, only he didn't know it. Schroedinger's crime, or something.
It's hard not to feel bad for Yee as the story drags on. He's pathetic, on the one hand — arrested for shoplifting sun block in Hawaii! — but he's also desperate and suffering from a severe case of dramatic irony, besides. On top of that — and not absolve Yee of obvious wrongdoing — it's difficult not to see corruption cases like these as somewhat arbitrary. We are so inured to the role money plays in politics at the federal level that it seems our outrage over corruption on the local level is a form of overcompensation. (Qualifier here: yes, Yee offered to sell $2 million worth of weapons to a fake mob boss, but this started as a run-of-the-mill corruption case.)
But what about this, from Jonathan Chait's column in New York this week, on David Camp's honest tax reform effort. Camp, a Republican from Michigan, and chair of the House Ways and Means committee, released a plan that, among other things, would directly tax financial institutions in an effort to reduce moral hazard, and, obviously, generate tax revenue. It was promptly smothered by leadership. Observe:
"Hours after the Camp plan emerged on February 26, private-equity firms informed Republicans that fundraising commitments would be canceled indefinitely. Then they sent lobbyists to explain to various Republicans the vital role their special treatment plays in the proper functioning of the economy and the terrible things that would result from cancellation of this special treatment, not least to the GOP's fund-raising operations. By mid-March, more than 50 House Republicans had signed a letter assailing the 'arbitrary' financial-transaction tax that 'threatens our economic vitality by reducing access to credit, curbing economic growth, and worsening our nation's unacceptably high unemployment rate.'"
There's so much intermediation (from RNC, to leadership, to lawmaker) and the requests are so broad as to be indistinguishable from economic theory, but this is the entirely legal relationship we have between for-profit ventures and lawmakers in Washington.
Now, back to Yee:
"On Sept. 22, 2011, the agent posing as the Atlanta developer met Yee at a fundraising event in San Francisco and wrote him a $500 check — the maximum donation allowed under city law. Yee followed up with a voicemail, transcribed in the court filing: he 'appreciate[d] the conversation and then hopefully, um, you know, there are things that uh, we can do to be of help uh, to you, and uh, but anyway just wanted to reach out and say thank you very, very much.'
Two days later, Yee called the developer twice. The first time, he said he wanted to discuss affordable housing development, particularly once he became mayor. In the second call, Yee said he couldn't talk policy on the same call in which he asked for money. And then he asked the developer to raise $10,000 for his campaign.
The agent obliged. He got 10 undercover operatives to write $500 checks to Yee's campaign. Then the agent wrote a $5,000 check — 10 times the legal limit. When Yee asked for even more money, the developer balked. He needed to know he'd get something in return.
Yee assured him that once he was mayor that would be no problem. 'We control $6.8 billion, man, shit,' he reportedly said, referring to the city's annual budget."
Had Yee, not Ed Lee, been elected mayor of San Francisco in 2011, he'd have a budget of $6.8 billion at his disposal. The federal budget for 2013 was $3.8 trillion. The money maps to favors one-to-one at a local level just because the numbers are smaller. The sort of favors you can do for someone as mayor of a city, even a large one, are necessarily discrete; the sorts of favors you can do on a federal level are sort of vague, and can be more easily masked by rhetoric. The quid and the quo get lost in a stultifying slurry of horseshit.
None of this is to excuse corruption on a local level, just to say that these indictments feel like close cousins of show trials to me. Official fictions — literally! — that distract from the amorphous corruption we take for granted. The sort that actually, you know, ruins our country.

About Cuisinart
Julia Child let people in on the Cuisinart® secret and so did James Beard. They were among the first culinary experts to endorse the food processor as a revolutionary kitchen appliance when it was introduced to the U.S. in 1973 by the late Cuisinart® founder, Carl Sontheimer. They saw the food processor as a quick and easy way to make fine food and healthy dishes. The Cuisinart® Food Processor was introduced to Canadians two years later, in 1975.
Under management from Conair Corporation since 1989, the legacy is alive and well. Today, Cuisinart® is a universally recognized name, endorsed by culinary connoisseurs such as Jacques Pépin and Jean-Louis Palladin.

Delhaize America earns top marks in corporate equality index
SALISBURY Delhaize America, parent company of Food Lion and based in Salisbury, received a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2014 Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
Delhaize America is honored to earn this top recognition again this year, said Millette Granville, director of diversity and inclusion for Delhaize America. This perfect score reinforces our strong commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for associates. Through employee resource groups and volunteer support, we are building a more inclusive company and stronger communities.
The 2014 CEI rated 934 businesses in the report, which evaluates LGBT-related policies and practices including non-discrimination workplace protections, domestic partner benefits, transgender-inclusive health care benefits, competency programs and public engagement with the LGBT community. Delhaize Americas efforts in satisfying all of the CEIs criteria have resulted in a 100 percent ranking and the designation as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality.
This will go down in history as the year that corporate support for equality left the boardroom and reached each and every corner of this country, noted Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin. Not only do fair-minded companies guarantee fair treatment of millions of LGBT employees in all 50 states, but now those same companies are fighting for full legal equality in state legislatures, in the halls of congress and before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Idaho purveyors of hardcore filth and grime, Bone Dance, are proud to announce the release of their self titled debut album. The band will release the outing sometime in October (no concrete date just yet) on Melotov Records in the US of A and Throatruiner in Europe. In addition to this exciting news, Bone Dance has released the first cut from the album ironically titled "Comfort". I can tell you that this song will bring no comfort to the religious peoples of the world or those with a preexisting heart condition. This three minute chaotic hardcore dirge does not let up throughout its entire duration. Bone Dance completely barrages you with hate-filled metallic hardcore that is dripping with the blood of those who stand in this band's way. This monster of a track can streamed below for those who dare to listen. It will not simply kick your ass, it will demolish it completely. Be on the lookout for their new album in October.

Florida Blue Launches Oncology ACO
Florida's major health insurer has joined forces with two South Florida healthcare providers to create a specialty accountable care organization that will focus on oncology services.
Florida Blue, Baptist Health South Florida, and Advanced Medical Specialties (AMS), a Miami-based oncology group, are partners in the collaboration.
There are an estimated 160 ACOs or ACO-like organizations at some stage of development across the country, according to a November 2011 study by Leavitt Partners, a Salt Lake City, UT–based health intelligence business. Commercial ACOs are typically focused on population health issues such as reducing hospital readmissions and reducing emergency room use.
But dedicating an ACO is a specific specialty such as oncology is relatively new, and the Florida organization is believed to be among the first in the country.
Florida Blue and AMS, which has 46 physicians in 17 locations throughout the Miami-Dade County area, have worked together on other quality protocols. The physicians admit to Baptist Health, which is part of the Florida Blue network, so the three decided to look at working together on an ACO.

Ray Graham | Running back | Pittsburgh | 5'9, 195 pounds
Games watched: Iowa, Notre Dame, South Florida, Rutgers
First word: There were few more exciting players in the first half of last year's college football season than Pittsburgh's Ray Graham. Then, on his second carry against Connecticut, he knee buckled and his ACL tore on a plant cut. Through seven games last season, he led the NCAA in rushing with 945 yards on 162 carries. Whether or not Graham is a legit NFL prospect will be determined by how he comes back from that injury. Graham's game is based on quickness and speed. Will it be the same after the injury?
• Shiftiness is often overstated with slightly undersized running backs, but Graham's quicks are amongst the best in college football. He has the ability to stop and cut to make defenders miss.
• Graham's vision is what will separate him from other undersized backs. He's patient behind the line of scrimmage and waits for a hole to open up. When it does, Graham hits the lane with immediacy. Sets up his blocks well.
• Quickly accelerates to top speed both going straight line and when coming out of a cut. Shows good balance when he has to make a defender miss in the open field.
• Advanced as a receiver. Graham isn't necessarily a big-play threat catching the ball, but he has solid hand and is dependable. Caught 30 passes for 200 yards as a junior.
• Although Graham runs with good pad level, unless he adds some power, he's never going to be the strongest runner. He makes defenders miss more with his agility and less with his power.
• Won't ever be a breakaway speed runner. While Graham's speed isn't bad, it's not elite. In that regard, Graham is more like LaMichael Jame's than Jamaal Charles or Chris Johnson.
• Work in progress as a pass blocker.
• Knee injury will be an overriding concern until he proves it's not an issue.

"Wonderful Short Stay"
I came here in June this year and would definitely come back again. The owners are so hospitable and will help with anything you need. The apartment is just like in the pictures, very clean, spacious and central. Bugibba Square is just a stones throw away. I would highly recommend staying here.

This is a cote I made a few years back when I was a fashion design student for my tailoring class. the self drafted pattern is made of a cream silk dupioni I had in my stash and to add weight to the silk I flat line the jacket with a coordinating cotton. I finished all the seams with a flat felled finish so you can't tell the jacket inside and outside were constructed as one unit. Because I secretly dislike making machine worked buttonholes and bound buttonholes were out of the project guidelines I made loops for button securing. I added an inverted pleat detail to the sleeves for a little more excitement and I finished the raw edges of the facings, hem and sleeve seams with a Hong Kong finish.

i'd much rather have bostons outfield than the yanks outfield
matter of fact i'd bet that the mets outfield will be more productive than the yanks outfield this season as well
The New York Yankees of course......

As for the sox, they actually have a pretty good outfield but everyone and their mother knows Nancy is going to wind up on the DL so thats essentially why the Yanks get the nod over the sox...

Shawn Green sucks, the disparity in production between him and Abreu is too much to overcome for the Mets in this debate. The Yankees OFers are simply better, and its not even close.

Playing Devils advocate...Originally Posted by KoolJet
Moises Alou was on pace to be a .300/30/100 hitter last season if not for his injury and is coming off of 3 consecutive 900 OPS seasons. The guy can still rake. When healthy has proven to be right up there with just about anybody in the league.
I would tend to think the disparity between Carlos Beltran and Johnny Damon at least equals the disparity between Shaun Green and Bobby Abreu. Sure, Damon is a pretty good hitter, but Carlos Beltran was an MVP canidate last season.
Also, I'd take the Mets having the depth of Endy Chavez, Lastings Milledge and Ben Johnson over the Yankees having Melky Cabrera and exactly who?

shawn green has had a better career than abreu....they ar both coming off of an off year.........difference being that green's good years were head and shoulders above abreu's..........
only thing abreu gets the nod for is obp andbecause he walks more often.........and sb's
green has finished in the top 9 in mvp voting 3 times, something abreu hasn't even come close to
and after abreu had to quit juicung he couldn't even jack homers anymore in a total band-box in philly
it's obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about if you just want to blurt out that shawn green sucks with absolutely NO facts to back it up..........

"Hechizo" means a spell in spanish: apparently this dress is the one of Snow White's mother-in-law, the witch, according to the boyfriend. Well, not that I agree but at least it got a name.
I used Butterick 5556, a reproduction of a 1955's pattern. I cut one size smaller that my measurments and it's still a little bit too big, but nothing a belt doesn't hide.
The fabric is a dark blue wool, the dress is warm enough so I can wear it on its own.
I might do it again in a lighter fabric, maybe cotton for spring, as it was easy enough to make and I love the shape with it's pointed collar, pockets and wide skirt.

Pictures: How fat is your state?
According to recently released CDC data, part of the 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, these are the adult obesity rates by state from highest to lowest. Each state is represented by what Health.com has presented as the 50 fattiest foods (one dish from each state).

Philly Cheesesteak
Ingredients: Beef, cheese or Cheeze Whiz, and onions on a long roll
Fat content: Recipes vary. Commercially prepared versions, like the 6-inch Big Philly Cheesesteak at Subway carries 18 grams of fat.
The most iconic food of Pennsylvania is also one of the unhealthiest. Invented in 1930, the cheesesteak is recognized around the world. It's probably safe to say that any dish using Cheese Whiz is not going to be a low-fat item.

Republished from CombatSportsLaw.com
Like all major sporting organizations, the UFC is aware of legal threats their business model poses and considers legal strategies in response to these.
On March 25, 2014 the UFC's Michael Mersch and Tom Wright along with two local attorneys hosted the Canadian Bar Association's Professional Development course "The Legal Landscape of Full-Contact Professional Sports: Impacts of Developments in the Study of Brain Injuries and the Emergence of Mixed Martial Arts".
During the conference some interesting legal issues were canvassed including the potential of Zuffa facing concussion related litigation similar to the recent NHL and NFL class action lawsuits. In the course of the conference some of the contemplated responses to this legal threat emerged.
Lawyer David Goldstein, who works for Cassels Brock & Blackwell, the firm Zuffa used when lobbying to overhaul s. 83 of Canada's Criminal Code, commented as follows:
"Given the NFL attention other lawsuits started...So why are we talking about that at an MMA event? The thinking being, if you combine big dollars which we see MMA has, the UFC has, and full contact sport, the question is will some enterprising plaintiff, enterprising plaintiff's lawyer, sue the UFC, Bellator or any other MMA organization next? ...
We know that in the course of...Mixed Martial Arts.... there will be contact with the head so what are the potential defenses? ...
As far as the standard of care...(the legal requirement is) what's reasonable....the concept that it has to be perfect or 100% certain or iron clad its just not legally viable...
A big point is causation. One of the other defenses on which you'd expect a league or organization to rely is let's say you can show you were concussed, let's say you can show that you suffered damages from those concussions and lets say even that the activity that caused the concussions was clearly football, hockey, MMA. You don't wake up a 26 year old professional defensive lineman or anything else. You play from youth all the way through. So the issue of trying to show that the concussions that you suffered while in the NHL, NFL, UFC, what have that would be a very difficult thing to have to show."
Mr. Goldstein goes on to quote from retired MMA fighter Mac Danzig's blog post where he discusses suffering damage more so from training that competing as the type of evidence that would be used when attacking claims of causation.
Mr. Goldstein continues as follows:
"There is sparring, there is training as a youth, there are amateur fights, there are pro fights in different organizations. At the end of the day if an MMA concussion lawsuit did go through to trial (causation) would be a very difficult thing to show.
And then lastly, voluntary assumption of risk, there is the legal doctrine that no wrong is done to one who is willing. The concept being if you know what you are signing up for, you sign up for it, society has deemed it an acceptable activity and that's where the legalization comes in, its not on the NFL, NHL, UFC to prohibit an activity that's legal.
UFC contracts...talk about the inherently and abnormally dangerous activity and the athlete being willing and able to accept those risks."
Mr. Goldtein then distinguishes the NFL litigation from potential MMA concussion litigation noting the allegations of fraud driving the NFL litigation.
The panelists also note that since professional MMA is government regulated deference is given to their oversight and imply that protection would be sought from this oversight should litigation arise.
It was an insightful conference and for those interested video of the conference is available online for anyone (non lawyers included) who wish to register.

Sterling Sleep is reported to have been producing top quality sleep mattresses, with encasing foam inside, individual coil springs and real foam edge support around the product. As a result, it is adding comfort and luxury to the modular bed systems.
All the bed components being used by the manufacturer and global distributor online (http://www.sterlingsleep.com/
"Our users include domestic buyers, buyers from hospitality industry and many others. They prefer our products for we use all top quality and many patented bed components that give many benefits what they can expect from ours only," said Mr. Anton Hochschild, the CEO of Sterling Sleep.
When asked whether custom design service for their luxury sleep mattresses is provided, the CEO said that they did. "Custom design service in accordance with the shape and size of the sleepers has been very popular and we provide this service," said Mr. Anton.
When having sound sleep has been a common issue among people of all ages due to various reasons and lifestyle, these kinds of sleep mattresses can definitely be ideal lullaby role player. Unlike common spring bed systems, they can isolate motion transfer and reduce noise because coils are not wire tied or connected metal to metal. Buying these insignificantly costlier mattresses could be a lifetime investment contrary to the common bed systems that require frequent repairing and cleaning services.
About the Company:
Sterling Sleep Systems has become the leading expert in manufacturing component-based bed systems. With its hand-crafted memory foam pillows, pillow top mattress, various bed components and systems, this company has created a popular niche on the market. In addition, its customer-friendly business policies and competitive costs have great draw on the online market, as well as offline market.

With the flick of my inner switch I slow the world, in hopes that for only a moment I can find some peace within my mind. The thoughts of those around me are silenced, and I meditate to the rhythm of my own breathe.
Our existence has been hushed, paid off as if the world's wagers could cease the havoc they assume we create across their materialistic lands. Each of us, living hundreds if not thousands of lives, doused in emeralds and gold of all kinds. An abundance of knowledge collected year after year in the prestigious universities of this globe, but for what? To live a thousand more years in the shadows, unable to reveal our true nature.
I leave this for you,
whom ever you may be, to read, to acknowledge and to analyze. For
when you discover the words stained into this leather bound book
you never be the same. I warn you now, before you travel deeper
into our past, our present, and our future that there will be no
going back, there will be no forgetting. You will forever be
scared as I have, bound to this secretive world we live in, you
too will become a part of the shadows, an outcast within no
mind but your own. Unable to speak, unable to react, all you
can do is live. So I welcome you my friend, welcome to our
personal hell, welcome to our world within yours.
To be continued...

Election 2002: State-by-State Results
Governor: Democrat Kathleen Sebelius defeated Republican Tim Shallenburger.
Pat Roberts beat token opposition to retain the seat.
House: There were four seats in contention. The three GOP incumbents and one Democratic incumbent won reelection.
Senate: Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell defeated Democrat Lois Combs Weinberg to retain his seat.
House: The six incumbents all won reelection, with the Republicans holding on to their 5 to 1 majority.
Senate: Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu was forced into a runoff election, meaning it will be another month before Louisiana voters pick the winner. She will face Republican Suzanne Terrell, the state election commissioner, in the Dec. 7 runoff, which pits the top two vote-getters after no one received the required 50% of the vote.
House: There were seven seats in contention, with incumbent Republicans holding four seats and incumbent Democrats holding two. One race was too close to call.
Governor: Democrat John Baldacci defeated Republican Peter Cianchette.
Senate: Republican Sen. Susan Collins defeated Democrat Chellie Pingree to retain her seat.
House: There were two seats in contention. An incumbent Democrat won reelection and the other race was too close to call.
Governor: Republican Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. defeated Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of Democratic icon Robert F. Kennedy, to become the first Republican governor elected in Maryland since 1966.
House: There were eight seats in contention. Four incumbent Democrats held their seats and two incumbent Republicans won. The other races were too close to call.
Governor: Republican Mitt Romney defeated Democrat Shannon O'Brien.
Senate: Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry had only token opposition and easily won reelection.

Relax, EastEnders fans – contrary to what you may have heard the soap is not about to be axed after 29 years.
However, over three million Facebook users have been fooled into thinking the curtain is coming down on Albert Square after falling victim to a 'prank' story doing the rounds on the site.
The hoax story came courtesy of website Fakeshare.com, which allows users to create their own realistic-looking 'fake' headlines and stories and then post them on social media.
But while many of these made-up stories are fooling no-one this particular effort left fans of the soap in a right lather – with many taking to social media themselves to comment on the 'bad news':
Can't believe Eastenders is getting axed—
Vanessa SW11 (@junglettevan) June 11, 2014
Sach. (@SachinSard) June 11, 2014
As it happened, those who did click on the link to the apparent story – instead of just sharing it – were greeted with this:
Actually, the figure on this particular photo does not reflect the sheer number of EastEnders fans taken in by the story – with numbers topping over 3.6m gullible viewers when we last looked.
Meanwhile, the news that EastEnders is not disappearing from screens after all has been greeted with disappointment in some quarters:
There is a thing going round on Facebook saying Eastenders is being cancelled, I'ts a hoax, STOP GIVING US FALSE HOPE!!!—
Rich Walker (@whiskeyrich) June 11, 2014
Absolutely gutted that Eastenders being axed is a hoax #falsehope #oneday—
Kelly (@s26kel) June 11, 2014
We say; don't worry. EastEnders will be with us for a while yet. Otherwise Max Branning might have something to say about it.

Blood in the Urine (Hematuria) (cont.)
Blood in the Urine Prevention
Many causes of blood in the urine are not necessarily preventable, such as urinary tract infection or cancer, enlargement of the prostate, blood diseases, and kidney diseases. Other causes, like strenuous exercise and the use of certain medications, can be preventable to some extent. Maintaining adequate hydration can be helpful in reducing the chance of developing kidney stones.
