As soon as news of the royal baby's arrival was announced, well wishes for the next in line for the throne began to pour in.
President Obama issued a statement to congratulate the new parents – who said they "could not be happier" following their son's Monday afternoon birth.
"Michelle and I are so pleased to congratulate The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the joyous occasion of the birth of their first child. We wish them all the happiness and blessings parenthood brings," the President said Monday. "The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations. Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince."
See who else wished the newborn the very best:

His sailing-enthusiast mom, the Duchess of Cambridge, said she is eager to have 10-month-old George take to the water in a small dinghy when he's old enough.
Kate, 32, on Tuesday met British sailing hero Sir Ben Ainslie, who offered to take Kate and George – who she has revealed is now walking – out on the water.
Ainslie said he could start the prince in a small single-handed children's sailboat called an Optimist dinghy.
"The Duchess was very keen, but not for a couple of years yet – when he's about 7 or 8," he said.
"But we'd love to get the Duchess sailing sooner. She's very keen and of course we'd love to get her out on the water – she doesn't get to do it much now."
Kate also had the chance to see the new America's Cup trophy, crafted by Garrard Jewelers, and meet the British team that hopes to be victorious in the 2017 race.

"Bowlin Pin"
We have two dogs and neither one will play with it.
"Least obnoxious squeaker ever!"
"The ""Squeaker"" in this toy is a nice low sound, not the typical high pitch squeak that most toys have. We have had ours for about 8-9 months now and my dog gets really excited whenever she hears the sound of it. She is normally a destroyer, but she likes playing with this toy and has not been too eager on destroying it, so it has held up really well so far."
"Sturdy Squeaker Toy"
I bought ten of these I-Squeak Bowling Pins in medium for my Dobies and Aussies. We've got five in use and five are in the toy bag. So far, after several months of use, they are still in good shape, with only a little chewing on the bottom. The squeak is very deep and lulling. My Dobies enjoy squeaking and playing fetch with them. The Aussies carry them around and chase after them when I throw them. I threw them in our kiddie pool in the summer, and the dogs would step in and fetch them out.

Background: MM remains incurable despite recent therapeutic advances. Although novel treatment combinations have improved outcome, new combinations are urgently needed. V, an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor, enhances anti-MM activity of other small molecule pro-apoptotics, with preclinical synergy seen when combined with L. This ongoing phase I multicenter, open-label study evaluated V plus L and D. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD; primary objective), safety, tolerability, and response rate (RR) were assessed.
Methods: Relapsed and/or refractory MM pts were enrolled into 1 of 5 escalating doses of combination regimen using standard 3+3 design. Toxicity and response were evaluated using NCI c3.0 CTC and EBMT/UC.
Results: Median prior therapies was 3 (range 1-12, N=31). Most pts received prior bortezomib (65%), thalidomide (68%), or L (45%). The majority of adverse events (AEs) were mild/moderate; most common ≥G3 drug-related AEs (all cycles) were neutropenia (23%), thrombocytopenia (16%), diarrhea (13%), and fatigue (10%). One dose-limiting toxicity was seen (Table), with MTD not reached. Of 30 pts evaluable for efficacy, 26 (87%) experienced ≥ stable disease (SD); best single responses were 2 complete, 2 very good partial (VGPR), 10 partial (PR), 5 minimal (MR), 7 SD, and 4 progressive disease, for RR (≥ MR) of 63%. Of 13 evaluable pts who received prior L, ≥ SD was seen in 9 (69%), with 1 VGPR, 3 PR, 1 MR, and 4 SD, for RR (≥MR) of 38%.
Conclusions: Preliminary results suggest V, L, and D may be a convenient, effective, and generally well tolerated oral regimen for relapsed/refractory MM pts. Activity was also seen in pts who received prior L. Further analysis of this study is ongoing and a phase II study is planned.

Data Shows Romney Debate Wins According To Utah Firm Content
Editor's Note: The following story is about Politicit, a company founded and run by current and former Huntsman students. Huntsman Professor John Johnson is an investor and the chairman of the company.
KUTV News
By Brian Mullahy
The pundits have said it. The polls more than suggested it. And a Utah company said Thursday it has data to show Mitt Romney won the first presidential debate.
Politicit, based in Logan, unveiled its debate analysis that tracked the so-called IT Scores of both Romney and President Obama during their 90 minute match-up.
The IT Score, according to the new company –made up of recent Utah State University business grads –measures candidates' "digital influence." Politicit said it arrives at the score by tracking online chatter about candidates, and plugging it into a proprietary mathematical formula. The company has described the process as "machine learning" that gets better with time and additional data.

A defense attorney entered not-guilty pleas for murder suspect Anthony Lamar Jones on Thursday.
Jones is accused of killing 13-year-old Genelle Conway-Allen.
Attorneys would not release any more details on the charges or the accusations.
Jones' attorney waived the time restriction on the preliminary hearing.
The 32-year-old barber appeared in shackles and black-and-white prison garb, but said very little throughout the brief hearing.
The judge denied any photographs or video be taken in court.
Conway-Allen's naked body was found in a park a few days after she disappeared. Police have not said why they suspect Jones is responsible.
A graveside service will be held for Conway-Allen at Benicia City Cemetery this afternoon.

Final Fantasy, really, is all about the characters. The characters drive the story forward. It is the characters who you fall in love with, who you care about, who you emotionally engage with. It is the characters, their design, personalities, and, of course, kick ass special attacks, that make Final Fantasy so beloved. To mark the release of the latest in the franchise, Final Fantasy XIII - read our verdict here - we thought we'd cast our mind back and recount our favourite characters from Square Enix's fantasy universe. Some are easy to predict. Some... less so. And yes, even some FFXIII characters make the cut.
Tifa Lockhart - Final Fantasy VII
Let's talk about love triangles. Cloud clearly fancied Aeris, but she was more interested in Sephiroth, or was that Zak? Anyway, she died, so that left Tifa, owner of the 7th Heaven bar and member of terrorist group AVALANCHE. She quite obviously fancied Cloud but wasn't really doing it for him. Got that? Good. Tifa's no-nonsense approach and brutal punches endeared her to those who found Aeris too sickly sweet to swallow. She didn't suffer any of Cloud's emo crap, and wasn't afraid to tell him to get over himself when he was sulking. She was as sexy as she was confident, too. She had nice legs and big breasts. What more could we ask for?
Cid - various
There's a Cid in almost every Final Fantasy game. From VII's chain-smoking Cid Highway to XII's wonderfully-named Doctor Cidolfus Demen Bunansa, Cid's usually an airship pilot, or a mechanic, or a tinkerer of some description. But in recent times he's expanded his skill set, and even taken an interest in the more villainous side of Final Fantasy character life. The aforementioned Doctor Cid was a bad guy - the first Cid villain in a Final Fantasy game. And, without wanting to spoil anything for you new Final Fantasy XIII owners out there, that game's Cid is a... how shall we put it... interesting fellow, too. Now, the question we want answered is: why? Why have a Cid as a recurring character name in the Final Fantasy series? What is it about the name Cid, that Square Enix loves so much? Answers on a postcard please.

Gov. Tom Corbett's antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA filed on behalf of the commonwealth is being met with bewilderment and concern from state lawmakers.
State Rep. John McGinnis, R-Altoona, said he wishes Corbett would focus on main issues, not the Penn State "side show."
"I'm not sure why he's doing this. Quite frankly, he has much bigger fish to fry. He's got a blueprint to deliver on transportation; he's said pension reform is his No. 1 priority; and he has a budget to introduce in February. If those are off the list, then he should look at Right to Work and cutting taxes," McGinnis, a Penn State alumnus and professor, said.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday accuses the NCAA of violating its obligation to ensure competition among members by levying sanctions that diminish Penn State's competitiveness and harm the state's economy.
"I don't think what the governor is doing is wise. Lawyers I've spoken with said he has no legal standing," McGinnis said. "Suing the NCAA is not a good use of his time, and it's certainly not a good use of taxpayer money."
The state Legislature annually budgets tax money for Pennsylvania to engage in business with outside legal firms, Corbett's spokesman Kevin Harley said.
"It will be taxpayer dollars funding the case," he said.
Money spent on hiring an outside law firm, Cozen O'Connor, would be saved if the case was handled by the state government's lawyers already working within the administration, but Harley said antitrust is a specific practice, requiring a specialized law firm.
Harley declined to estimate the cost of the litigation, and a Cozen O'Connor spokeswoman was not available on Thursday. Harley reiterated what Corbett's General Counsel Jim Schultz said after Corbett's announcement of the litigation.
"As in any type of lawsuit, legal fees would be paid for the winner. So that money we spend could be repaid if successful. But that's putting the cart in front of the horse right now," he said. "Any cost will pale in comparison to the damages we think the state is suffering because of the sanctions. We believe this is a wise use of taxpayer resources."
Harley claimed the Corbett administration used outside law firms half as much as the previous administration.
State Rep. Jerry Stern, R-Martinsburg, supports the lawsuit, regardless of cost.
"I don't think you can determine a cost to do the right thing. The NCAA is impacting the university, a major employer in the commonwealth. This had wide-ranging impact," Stern said. "I believe it's in the best interest for Pennsylvania businesses."
The NCAA has stated there is no merit to the case, and state Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair, has doubts as well.
"The antitrust violation is the new spin, but I don't know that is valid. Penn State agreed to the sanctions, so it's a contractual issue," he said.
A philosophical problem Eichelberger has with the possibility of courts scrapping Penn State sanctions including the $60 million fine, is that Penn State might look like a hero if the trustees decide to donate that money to sex abuse programs in Pennsylvania, as Corbett has suggested.
"If the money is coming into programs around the state, then I would hope Penn State would never share in any credit for new programs. That would be equivalent to a rich man who writes a check, then his problems go away," Eichelberger said.

Interestingly enough, and against all Democratic Party ideals, Barack Obama is also a chain smoker. Go figure.
Obama is also believed by many to be the antichrist, though this author thinks that that suggestion lacks merit.

Aoraki or Mount Cook National Park has New Zealand's highest mountains and largest glaciers. Its pristine alpine wilderness looks and feels prehistoric and very mysterious. I could almost see the Megalosaurus showing up behind the next turn of our path, which had no trail to follow but sometimes aimed towards an occasional small pile of rocks in the distance. On the way to Ball Pass, these piles were the only vague reminder that human beings had wandered through these mountains before us. The attitude towards nature conservation in New Zealand impresses visitors right from the Airport BioControl, which checks their shoes and backpacks for foreign soil and organisms, to the many days spent without seeing any human impact or even a single other person in nature. The moment captured on my photo, however, was one of the rare days when we did encounter someone deep in the wilderness. The photographed person is Jaz, a 62-year-old Kiwi hiker and climber whose kindness and generosity impressed us even more than his stamina. When my friends and I ran into him on the last day of our hike, we were already trying to hurry coming down the mountain and drive back to Dunedin before Monday morning. To our shock and surprise, Jaz offered the keys to his car after having talked to us for no more than 15 minutes! Our vehicles were parked by a shelter at the very end of the national park, a good three hours of walking further away from where he left his. Unbelieving and filled with gratitude, we planned for my two most tired friends to drive everyone's backpacks with Jaz's car, leaving his keys with the shelter keeper. Without our heavy loads of tents, sleeping bags, crampons, ice axes and helmets, we felt so light we could almost jog back to the cars. We reached Dunedin by 2 instead of 5 a.m. and I was ready to go to my Environmental History of New Zealand lecture in the morning to learn more about the unique relationship between Kiwi culture and the island's nature.
Varanasi is one of the holiest cities in India - vibrant in both color and sacrosanct stature. It is located along the banks of the venerated holy Ganges River. Two northern tributaries: the Varuna and Assi Rivers form the Ganges. The blending of the rivers' names is how the colloquial name, Varanasi, was formed. The city Varanasi is also called Banaras, city of light or Kashi, which means "luminous one". In this picture, vibrant 'light' melds with a luminous depiction of life by the river.
Here an Indian man is simply walking along the Ghats (steps down to the holy water) after his morning, holy bath. The image poignantly depicts him not only following the water but also following that of a holy cow. Many people, such as this man, bathe in the holy waters every day. This individual appears to be on his daily, poignant mission but without fanfare. This one image, purely replicates the day-to-day holy bathing that is an "every day thing" for so many Indians. It is a divine, purifying and revered act of one's existence in the land of Varanasi.

One of our foodie favorites, Bev Shaffer, offers advice for sweetening up your Valentine's Day.
If there's anyone who knows how to sweeten up Valentine's Day, it's chef Bev Shaffer. Her lavish coffee-table-worthy cookbooks, Brownies to Die For!, Cookies to Die For! and Cakes to Die For! are well into their third printings. Shaffer's latest offering, Chocolate Desserts to Die For, was published in October.
Over the past decade, the Seville resident has shared her passion for all things chocolate with cooks around the globe. "The biggest thing about chocolate for me is that every time you eat it, it makes you fall in love with life again," Shaffer says. "Chocolate elevates the mood. It makes you happy."
Which is why, she adds, it's the perfect confection for Valentine's Day. "Many people shy away from the holiday because they think it's too commercial," she says. "But it doesn't have to be. You can put your own special signature spin on it."
Here, Shaffer shares three luscious ways to make your Feb. 14 a red-letter day:
Be of Good Cheer(s): Shaken or stirred? The choice is yours. To make Shaffer's intoxicating Chocolatini, add 1 cup cocoa nibs to your favorite bottle of vodka (hers is Chopin). Cap the bottle and infuse for three days, shaking the bottle once daily. Then, test the vodka. If you want more chocolate flavor, let the liquor infuse for a few more days and continue shaking the bottle daily. "When the taste is irresistible," says Shaffer, "strain the vodka through cheesecloth to remove nibs and sediment, pour it into a cocktail shaker, add ice, strain into your favorite glass and propose a toast in style."
Visit Candyland: "Sharing chocolate with someone you love makes eating it more enjoyable," Shaffer says. But not just any chocolate will do. The chef's preferred confectioners are specialty chocolatiers: Lilly Handmade Chocolates in Cleveland (lillytremont.com), Coblentz Chocolate Company in Walnut Creek (coblentzchocolates.com) and Godiva are favorites. She finds English toffee and dark chocolate truffles made with Grand Marnier delectable. "I always buy two of everything or one big block so my husband, John, and I can taste test," Shaffer says.
Indulge: "Fun to make and fun to eat, my chocolate treats must be more than good and they have to be chocolatey," Shaffer says. This dessert fits the bill — no frosting required. Just a listing of incredible ingredients and when you slice and serve with fresh pineapple and softly whipped cream … oh baby!
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
6 large eggs, separated, then room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
2 tablespoons chocolate liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chunks of fresh pineapple
Unsweetened whipped cream
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 10-inch springform pan.
Melt the chocolate and butter; remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and yellow colored. Stop and scrape bowl and beater.
Mix in the cooled chocolate mixture, cream, chocolate liqueur and vanilla.
In another clean large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (but mixture is not dry). Gently fold 1/4 of egg whites into chocolate mixture.
Fold in remaining egg whites until thoroughly incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 26 to 35 minutes or until cake is just set. Cool on wire rack. When completely cool, loosen the edges of the springform pan and remove ring. Serve with chunks of fresh pineapple and a wisp of unsweetened whipped cream. Serves 8 or more.

Host of 'Chappelle's Show' on Comedy Central. Bases all of his jokes around racism and the word 'cracker'. Has the whole white male teenage population wrapped around his finger just because he gets away with saying nigger when no one else does.
If I hear one more effing person say 'I'm Rick James, bitch'... I might just slice myself with a rusty garden shovel

Comedy Central comedian who's apparently crazier than a shithouse rat. However, shithouse rats don't usually spend thousands of bucks on blow. Does Dave? I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
Unfortunately, we won't be seeing Dave Chappelle's third season anytime soon.

de Philip and Randy 23 Iunie 2004
Quite possibly the most over-rated man in the history of comedy. He has caused the overuse of stupid lines such as, "I'm Rick James bitch." Sure it was funny to hear the FIRST time but that was all, I mean please people give it up.

This funny white comedian who hosts his own show and does funny skits about god and jesus and how much he loves fudge. He also hates black people for some reason.

When you think of developer IO Interactive, you think of Hitman. You don't think of super cute cel-shaded cartoon kid ninjas. Perhaps that will change though this September, when Mini Ninjas, which features super cute cel-shaded kid ninjas, is released.
It really couldn't be more different. Hitman is a violent and realistic game in which you play an assassin. Mini Ninjas looks like a Cartoon Network show. And there's definitely no blood. Clearly, IO fancied a change.
Still, here it is. There's a demo out on Xbox LIVE and PC tomorrow and on PSN on Thursday, but we had the opportunity to get some hands on with a preview build to see if the game's shaping up to be worth your attention.
Mini Ninja's plot is classic cartoon fare. An Evil Samurai Warlord has returned to wreak havoc on the world, turning innocent little animals into demon samurai warriors. To do this he's had to use forbidden Kuji magic, upsetting the balance of nature and causing widespread storms. The Ninja Master notices this disturbance and sends his ninjas off to solve the mystery. None return. Desperate, he sends his last few remaining ninjas left off in a desperate attempt to find out what's going on. This is where you, and little Hiro, Futo and Suzume come in.
Hiro is your basic sword-wielding all rounder. He's only 11 but is incredibly skilful with Kuji magic, rivalled only by the Evil Samurai Master himself. He's got exploration-based spells, including "Detect Kuji Shrine", which sends spirits scurrying off to lead him to… you guessed it, Kuji Shrines, where new spells are learned; and "Spirit Form", which allows him to jump into the body of animals and control them; and offensive spells, including Fireball and Lightning, both aimed with a targeting reticule.
12-year-old Futo is the tank – a great big hulk of a ninja. He's slower than the others but packs a meaner punch. He also carries a hammer, which helps him dish out damage to multiple enemies at once. Futo's your best bet when you go up against the larger enemy samurai – he can stun them with his hammer, then, via a quick time event, leap on their backs for a powerful blow.
Last but not least is the girl of the group Suzume, aged 13. She's super fast but weak, as are most girls in games. Her weapon is a flute, which doubles as a stick, but she mixes things up with kicks just for good measure. Mini Ninjas lets you change character at will (by pressing LB on the Xbox 360 version then selecting the ninja from a radial menu), so you're able to quickly change up who you want to lead the charge and adapt to the enemies you're facing. And, if you're thinking three Mini Ninjas aren't enough, given our preview build's got empty spaces in the character radial menu, we suspect more playable ninjas will be unlocked as you work through the game.

MARTINSBURG - From learning how to make a musical instrument to sewing basics, a new program offered through the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks and Recreation encourages community members to engage their creativity.
Creative Outlet is a new division of Parks and Recreation that will concentrate on the arts and creative courses. The program will offer 37 classes incorporating music, art, drama, movement, fashion and visual arts.
"Just like kids want to try karate, they can try writing a story, they can try taking an art class, they can try listening to live musicians and see how it affects their creative outlet. We want to give that opportunity," said Lisa Wood, co-creator of Creative Outlet.

Sean Wood shares a yellow streamer with Kendall Brown to help complete her collage in the first-ever Creative Collage class, one of the courses available through Creative Outlet, a new program offered through the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks and Recreation.
The idea to create a program designed around creative exploration grew out of Wood and co-creator Kim Brown's careers in the arts and their desire to share that artistic enthusiasm and experience with community members after witnessing a lack of available opportunities.
"Kids need to be excited and need to be motivated about learning new things," Brown said. "The sky's the limit here."
While a majority of classes are designed for youths, many classes and events will be available for adults. While classes are organized by age groups, programming is available from newborns to senior citizens, Wood said.
All courses will be held at War Memorial Park. Residents will be able to register for a class through the Parks and Recreation website, which will also provide program and class descriptions.
"The Martinsburg Parks and Recreation has all the sport activities you can think of, but there was no creative outlet. That's exactly what this is, an opportunity to bring creative courses to Martinsburg," Wood said.
Although the program is still new, Wood and Brown already have a vision for Creative Outlet's future and expansion. Future plans include offering language courses, establishing an arts festival in Martinsburg for professional artisans and students and developing a community center for area youths.
"At some point down the road, we would like to offer not only courses, but have it as a community center where people can come in and feel comfortable. That does not exist for our children (here in Martinsburg). They deserve it," Wood said.
Additional information and class descriptions can be found at the Creative Outlet Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/creativeoutletprogram.

COLUMBIA — For the second time in two days, the High School League ruled that the Goose Creek Gators — the No. 1-ranked football team in the state — are done for the year.
But officials from Goose Creek High School and the Berkeley County School District indicated the fight to remain in the Division II-AAAA football playoffs might not be over.
"We're looking at our options," said coach Chuck Reedy late Wednesday.
The only option at this point is the court process. It's an avenue the school and district hinted that they are considering.
The High School League's Executive Committee voted 9-2 Wednesday night to uphold Goose Creek's ban from the playoffs for allowing an ineligible player to participate in games.
Goose Creek requested a second vote, asking the committee to consider a hardship case for the student involved. That vote went 10-1 against the team. The name of the player
involved was not disclosed.
The hearing came after High School League Commissioner Jerome Singleton's ruling Tuesday that Goose Creek used an ineligible player and therefore was disqualified for the playoffs. He ruled the school must forfeit the 10 games the player dressed for or participated in.
Goose Creek, the defending Division II-AAAA state champion, went 12-0 during the season, including a convincing victory last week over Conway in the first round of the playoffs.
The Gators were scheduled to host Bluffton Friday, but now Conway will travel to Bluffton for the second-round game.
Reedy said he doesn't know what he will tell his players.
"They have done everything right and don't deserve to be punished," he said. "I don't know what I will say. Words won't make it any better. Nothing I will tell them will make it better."
The meeting was scheduled to be open to the public, but Goose Creek requested a closed session and reporters and spectators were forced to leave the room.
Jay Bender, an attorney for the S.C. Press Association, said the closed session violated the Freedom of Information Act.
"There was a lawsuit a number of years ago that determined the High School League was a public body," he said. "The closed hearing is in violation of the law. I don't understand it. It's a body that takes public money and holds private meetings. If they want to operate like that, they should become a private club."
Bender said the school was being punished, not the ineligible student. "The player doesn't have to be identified publicly," he said.
Rodney Thompson, the Berkeley County School District superintendent, said he was proud of Reedy and his players.
"Of course, we're obviously disappointed with the decision and the impact it's going to have on the Goose Creek players and the Goose Creek community," he said. "We're going to move forward from this day on and we're going to take care of our students. That's our main concern."
Goose Creek was hoping for a fate similar to Summerville's in 2005. The Green Wave knowingly used an ineligible player on the junior varsity football team. The Executive Committee upheld Singleton's ruling but granted Summerville mercy and let the Green Wave varsity team back into the playoffs.
In the appeal, Reedy and Goose Creek Principal Jimmy Huskey said they notified the league immediately upon learning that a student on the team might be ineligible. They said the school and district exercised the right to appeal based on extraordinary conditions that there was no ill intent and no competitive advantage was gained by the team, players, coaches, staff or administration.
The ineligible player was a transfer student, and the updated student transcript record in question was received after the student was enrolled at the school.
The original transcript used at the beginning of the season was incomplete, and when the student registered for winter sports, an updated transcript showed that he already had played four seasons of football, making him ineligible.

VO2 max (V-volume per time, O2-oxygen, max-maximum) is typically defined as the maximum capacity of an individual's body to process oxygen during exercise. This number is useful because it is the most reliable way to determine the fitness level of the individual. By knowing your VO2 max, you can not only compare your fitness level to "standards", but you can also objectively assess your progress while improving your current overall level of endurance and fitness.
Knowing your VO2 max is also great for setting goals and motivation. Most recreational exercisers really don't need to know their VO2 max; although I recommend knowing it along with your weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat, and BMI (Body Mass Index). By knowing these numbers, you are able to self- diagnose your current overall state of health and well-being (extremely important if you are over the age of 45). The more oxygen your muscles use, the more efficiently your body works, allowing you to do more work, with less stress on your body. VO2 max is one of those rare health numbers you want to go up, not down. (more…)

Buffalo police suspect that mistaken identity – involving two relatives – may have led to a man getting shot in the neck late Sunday on the West Side.
The victim, whose name wasn't released, told Central District police that three males approached him on a 14th Street porch. One punched him in the back of the head. A second male asked him where he was from and then shot him in the left side of the neck.
The wounded man fell to the ground, before a relative called 911. The man then was taken to Erie County Medical Center, where his condition was unavailable.
Police said some physical evidence left at the scene could help them identify the attackers.

MARTINSBURG - Lisa Marie Horne of Ranson was arraigned Friday on one count of accessory to a robbery, one count of grand larceny and one count of robbery in the first degree.
The felony charges came after Horne was arrested for being involved in a carjacking and robbery Sunday, Aug. 26.
According to a criminal complaint, a deputy at the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department responded to the incident. The victim told the officer a woman jumped in front of his car while he was driving home. He said he stopped to see if the woman was okay, when a male subject approached him.
The victim was told by the subject that he had a pistol and for him to exit the vehicle, according to the complaint. The subject then punched the victim twice, after which he and two females took the car and drove off.
The officer took home the victim and reported the car stolen.
The vehicle was located some two hours later at the scene of a commercial burglar alarm in Frederick, Md. Law enforcement officials found a male and two females near the scene. The three, one of whom was Horne, were later positively identified by the victim as his assailants, the criminal complaint said.
Horne is currently in jail with bail set at $60,000. If found guilty, Horne faces at least two 10-year terms in a state correctional facility, as well as an additional one to 10 years.
Man charged with two counts of fraud
MARTINSBURG - Ronald Lee Fogle of Woodsboro, Md., was arraigned Friday for two counts of prescription fraud.
The May 2011 incident occurred when law enforcement responded to a prescription fraud complaint at Rite Aid on Winchester Ave. in Martinsburg, according to a criminal complaint.
The pharmacist said a subject came into the store and passed a false prescription for 240 30mg oxycodone pills.
Officers checked the medical office, whose pad was used for the prescription. Officers were told it had no record of issuing that prescription, according to court documents.
Officers then checked the Walgreen's pharmacy at which they found the same prescription filled two weeks earlier.
Photos and videos from both establishments were compared, and it was found that two different men filled the prescriptions.
Officers spoke with the prescribed patient, who informed them that Justin Fogle stole his I.D. several months before the incident. Fogle's identity did not match the person in photographs or in videos, according to a criminal complaint.
Agents in Virginia advised officers that an investigation into the theft of a prescription pad from the medical facility on the false prescription led to a Ronald Fogle. His image matched the description of the person who attempted to fill the prescription at Rite Aid.
Fogle, Justin's brother, was arrested in April 2011 for prescription fraud in Pennsylvania using the same prescription pad and same drug amount and type.
If found guilty, Fogle faces two terms of one to four years in a state correctional facility or a fine up to $30,000.

Bi-Lo wants to ease some of the pain at the pump.
With gasoline prices climbing nationally nearly 47 cents over the past month to a four-month high of $3.76 a gallon of regular on average and jumping 35 cents locally to $3.60, the Mauldin-based supermarket chain is adding more grocery items as part of its gas-rewards program called fuelperks!
The expanded program includes hundreds of additional grocery items that will help the food store chain's BonusCard customers rack up from 5 to 50 cents per gallon per item.
The rewards program works like this: For every $50 in qualified purchases shoppers spend at Bi-Lo, they receive a 5-cents-per-gallon reward applied to their BonusCard that can be used at the pump to reduce the price of gas.
With the expanded benefits, if the customer, within their $50 total, also purchased two bonus rewards items worth 5 cents and two bonus rewards items at 10 cents per gallon, then the potential fuelperks! rewards could equal 35 cents — not 5 cents — per gallon off their next fuel purchase at participating gas stations.
The rewards must be redeemed within three months after the current month and are good for up to 20 gallons of gasoline. Bonus items and their cents-per-gallon value will vary each week, and each offer may contain limitations. Bonus points and balances show up on receipts. The list of bonus items and their rewards value can be found in stores with circular and online at www.bi-lo.com/promotions.

Two young men were arrested Saturday night on 67th Street and Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago, Ill., for the murder of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton. According to a CNN report, 18-year-old Michael Ward and 20-year-old Kenneth Williams, are now charged with one count of first-degree murder each in the teen's death and two counts of attempted murder each for the two teens who were wounded in the shooting. Additional charges of aggravated battery with a firearm were also filed.
Pendleton, who performed with her school band at President Obama's recent inauguration, was gunned down on Tuesday, Jan. 29, as she and friends were sheltering the rain in Vivian Gordon Harsh Park on Chicago's South side, after taking early exams.
NBC News reported that teenaged Ward was the shooter who reportedly confessed to police that he killed Hadiya by mistake. He and his accomplice Williams thought Pendleton and her friends were from a rival gang who had shot Williams last year.
Pendleton's mom Cleopatra Cowley is said to be "ecstatic" about the arrests and hopes the two suspects are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. She told NBC News that they have taken her daughter, whom she had put so much into raising, away from her family, and away from her little brother. Cowley added that though Ward and Williams may rot in jail, they would still be alive but her daughter is not.
Her father Nathaniel Pendleton reportedly said he was thankful to God that the two charged were off the streets, which would prevent "this from happening to another innocent person."
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the arrest of Pendleton's accused killers was as a result of "relentless police work" and not because of any tips from the community. He added that though they did receive many tips, none of them panned out and they did not get the help they needed from "the targeted audience."
McCarthy said that this crime did not have to occur, for the killer, Michael Ward was arrested on January 2011 for the unlawful use of a firearm and that if mandatory minimums existed in the state of Illinois, Ward would not have been on the streets to "commit this heinous act."
Chief McCarthy also hopes this case which has garnered national attention, helps catapult change in the city's gun laws.
The King College Prep honor student was laid to rest Saturday with a huge outpouring from the community and beyond, including the first lady. There had been a loud plea for President Obama to attend the teen's funeral but Michelle Obama attended instead. The president, who has come under increasing fire from critics who say he has ignored, and continue to ignore the rampant gun violence in his city, will reportedly finally visit Chicago Friday.
Cowley and family were invited to attend Tuesday State of the Union address, as the Obama administration tries to get additional gun control legislation passed. The shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., and Pendleton's murder have ignited frenzied debates and hearings on escalating gun violence across the US.
Civil Rights leader and activist Rev. Jesse Jackson held a march and rally last Saturday in Chicago in honor of the slain teen and called on President Obama to send in Homeland Security to restore order and safety to the communities on the violent South side.
As president Obama gets ready to give his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, the issue of gun violence and gun control hovers heavily over his administration. Family members of victims of both high profile cases---the Newtown Conn. mass shooting and Chicago's honor student killing--will be guests in Washington at Tuesday's address.
Hadiya Pendleton's alleged killers were arrested on the same day of her funeral and the tragic irony is there are not much older than she was. Shooter Ward is only 18 years old and this is not his first tangle with the law. This time however, he took a young girl's promising life away in the blink of an eye and the blast of cold steel--as this sick cycle of violence continues.
Police Chief McCarthy made a point of announcing that the community didn't help him find the alleged shooters but what did he expect? When witnesses squeal on the mob, they are put in witness protection program. Chicago families want an end to the killings in their neighborhood but they also want to stay alive. They are gripped with fear of retaliation from the gangs who keep the reign of terror ongoing--so police should expect reticence to divulge information. Who is going to protect them if they talk? There is no witness protection program for them.
Young Pendleton understood all too well what gun violence could do and was just an adolescent when she spoke out against the very thing that ended her short life---gang warfare--a war that have claimed over 545 lives in a mere 14 months in that city. She was number 42 for 2013, and this shocking statistic has gone virtually unnoticed with no decisive action from our leaders in this country.
Obama is rumored to be going to Chicago on Friday. It's a start, late but not too late to change the genocide-like existence in his city. Incidentally Pendleton was killed not far from his Kenwood residence.
When he visited the grieving town of Newtown last December, he said that the slaughter of those 20 innocent children was unbearable, for he was a father to daughters. Let's see him think of Chicago's children being gunned down regularly, as his children too.

2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator Ignition Coil for V8 4.6L1AECI00041-345702
This part replaces:
- Hollander 610-00139

The ignition coil is a crucial part of your ignition system. It's function is to convert the 12 volt power of your vehicle's electrical system in to 35,000 or more volts. This produces a high intensity spark at the spark plug which then ignites the fuel in the cylinder. Coils in general will wear out over time. This will cause a misfire condition. In engines like this with one coil per cylinder you can diagnose a coil by putting a timing light on each one to make sure it is lighting the light consistently.

LOCKPORT – David J. Mongielo, the auto repair shop owner charged with violating the Town of Lockport sign ordinance, did not appear for a hearing Wednesday in Town Court .
Justice Raymond E. Schilling said he will have a criminal summons mailed to Mongielo, ordering him to appear at 5 p.m. May 7. "If he does not appear at that date, a bench warrant will be issued," Schilling said.
That's an arrest warrant for failure to appear in court, and it could result in Mongielo being arrested and jailed in lieu of whatever bail Schilling chooses to attach to the warrant.
Town Prosecutor Bradley D. Marble asked for an immediate bench warrant, but Schilling refused.
Mongielo, who does not have an attorney, insists the Town Court has no jurisdiction over him. Schilling, in a written decision last month, rejected that argument.
Reached by telephone Wednesday afternoon, Mongielo said he doesn't intend to show up May 7 either. He said he filed a kidnapping complaint against Schilling.
Marble said Mongielo had told the court staff and a state trooper investigating the "kidnapping" that he wasn't coming to court. "I believe that disregard for this court deserves a bench warrant," Marble said.
Wednesday's hearings were supposed to be on the topics of whether Marble would be allowed Mongielo's previous convictions for violating the sign law against him in a new trial, and whether Mongielo's second offense constituted a violation of his conditional discharge on his first conviction.
Mongielo, who has an LED video sign board in front of his Robinson Road business, has been charged twice, in 2010 and 2011, with violating the town law barring signs that change "format" more than once every 10 seconds.
Schilling convicted him in two nonjury trials, but on appeal last fall, County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III ruled that Mongielo should have had a jury trial and overturned the second conviction. Since then, Mongielo's attorney has left the case and proceedings have been stalled by Mongielo's refusal to accept the court's jurisdiction. When he came to court, Mongielo said it was a "special appearance" that didn't concede the court's authority.

Maryland Department of Labor and Enoch Pratt Free Library Launch Online Financial Literacy Clearinghouse
BALTIMORE, MD (January 31, 2012) The Enoch Pratt Free Library and the Maryland Department of Labors (DLLR) Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation today announced the launch of an online Financial Literacy Clearinghouse. The clearinghouse provides Marylanders with access to information on personal finance topics ranging from budgeting and saving to foreclosure prevention. Hosted by the Library, the clearinghouse is located at www.MyMoneyMatters-md.org.
Promoting strong financial literacy is critical to our states economy and to all Marylanders, said Secretary of Labor Alex Sanchez. We are pleased to partner with the Enoch Pratt Free Library in this initiative as we continue to move Maryland forward both locally and competitively in a global economy.
The Library and DLLR announced a partnership in October of 2011 in an effort to provide all Maryland residents with resources to empower and assist in making smart financial decisions, and to improve workforce development and adult education. Visitors to the Library seeking job training and advancement assistance have increased during this period of economic downturn. MyMoneyMatters provides another resource for Maryland residents.
The financial and career information provided by librarians are invaluable to our patrons," said Carla D. Hayden, Chief Executive Officer of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. "Everyday library staff across the state are on the front lines as they talk to Marylanders in need of help. The resources they provide and the free programming offered by libraries can hopefully help patrons find jobs and pave the way to personal financial recovery.
In response to the financial crisis, the General Assembly created the Task Force to Study How to Improve Financial Literacy. Co-chaired by Senator Anthony Muse and Delegate Dana Stein, the Task Force developed a list of recommendations which proposed, among other things, that the Commissioner of Financial Regulation create and maintain a website to provide financial education resources, services and programs for Maryland consumers.
The current downturn has highlighted the importance of assisting our citizens with understanding financial products and making sound financial decisions, said Commissioner of Financial Regulation Mark Kaufman. We are excited to be able to deliver this assistance online, and I can think of no better partner in connecting consumers with helpful information than the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
MyMoneyMatters contains content which pertains to all ages, at all stages of life and will be updated regularly to include new consumer alerts and materials related to financial literacy.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

HOW TO USE: Turn on the Heart Lamp. You don't need to warm it up. Apply one coat of bonder to all nails. Put one hand under the lamp. Allow them to "cure" for 30 seconds. Make sure all nails are completely visible to the light bulbs. Then put second hand under lamp. Apply one coat of dual coat to each nail and allow to cure under the lamp for 30 seconds. Apply one coat of Nailuv gel polish and cure for 30 seconds. Reapply. Cure again for 30 seconds. Apply dual coat to all nails and cure for 30 seconds. If nails are tacky, put under the lamp for another minute. When done, put rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and gently wipe down each nail. Nails should be dry to the touch and beautifully glossy!

That's the value of youth conventions and activities. This past weekend, we had the opportunity to volunteer at the annual Wisconsin Junior Holstein Convention. With nearly 500 in attendance, excitement filled the air. It is events like this that are annual highlights for many dairy farm youth. It is a chance learn and enjoy a weekend among peers that share common bonds.
When farm kids are in school, they are outnumbered 50 to 1. Their thoughts on agriculture, animals, land, and food production have a different perspective than their urban classmates. At agricultural activities such as breed conventions, fairs, and so forth, the typical ag minority to becomes the accepted dominant majority. Talking about farm chores without intimidation or chuckles from others energizes youth to be proud of their heritage. This is known as networking to adults, but it can be even more valuable to young people as they build friendships.
Competitions at these events allow young people to show-off their knowledge about agriculture in an environment where knowing about cows, tractors, and crops is the "cool thing to do." Nonfarm classmates may excel on the sports field or play musical instruments, but here, young people can participate in knowledge bowls, display their crafts and photography, and hone their speaking skills in speech contests — all while promoting and supporting agriculture among other like-minded youth. The camaraderie among these farm kids (even during competitions) is evident. Their personal and social development is significantly enhanced.
And while every contest has its winners, there are countless other wins for those without the blue ribbon: the exposure to public speaking, self-confidence, teamwork, sportsmanship, the value of working towards a goal, and the personal satisfaction of presenting your best effort. Aren't those victories the best wins of all?

Bell-Boeing's V-22 Osprey first took to the air nearly
20 years ago and the road to active duty has been a long one. When DailyTech last visited the tilt-rotor aircraft,
the Air Force's CV-22 Osprey was criticized for its "poor aircraft availability"
and "marginal operational availability" during desert testing at
Kirkland Air Force Base.
"Frequent part and system failures, limited supply
support, and high false alarm rates in the built-in diagnostic systems caused
frequent flight delays and an excessive maintenance workload," claimed the
report which was released earlier this year.
"This produces a maintenance and support burden that
the Marines really can't afford. All of the reliability problems that they
continue to have here in the [United] States -- it's going to drive them crazy
overseas," said Philip Coyle, senior advisor for the Center for Defense
Despite the troubles, the U.S. Marines will be deploying
seven of its similar MV-22 Ospreys to Iraq in September. The Marines are
hoping that the Osprey's speed will allow it to quickly transport troops and make
it less of a target for insurgents than slower, traditional helicopters.
"It is our fervent feeling that this aircraft is the
most capable, survivable aircraft that we carry our most important weapons
system in, which is the Marine or rifleman," said Lt. Gen. John Castellaw,
the deputy commandant for aviation for the Marines. "If you've ever gone
rabbit hunting, you know that it's harder to shoot a rabbit that's running than
the one that's sitting still."
The push for the Osprey to enter regular military service
has been a long time coming. In 2007 alone, there have been six crashes
involving U.S. helicopters in Iraq. The Osprey's enviable speed (top speed
316MPH), ability to take-off and land like a helicopter and an operating range
that is three to five times that of traditional helicopters should make it a
great workhorse during its seven month deployment.
The V-22 Osprey is destined to replace the Marines' CH-46
Sky King by 2018. When compared to the CH-46, the Osprey has a range that is
three times farther and has six to seven times the survivability in the field.
The tilt-rotor aircraft has been in development for over 20 years
at a cost of over $20 billion USD.
quote: The single autorotation test in V-22 also demonstrated that the attempt to recover from autorotation to a safe landing by using stored rotor energy to arrest the rate of descent failed markedly. The test data indicate that the aircraft would have impacted the ground at a rate of descent of about 3700 ft/min (61.7 ft/sec) ¾ a fatal rate-of-descent. Authoritative proponents, e.g., the NASA Review Team, have argued that autorotation is not a needed capability for the V-22 due to the low probability of a two-engine failure. My analysis of Navy safety data shows that the Navy/USMC experiences a dual engine failure in a helicopter about once every 3 to 4 years due to fuel contamination onboard a ship. Historically, such accidents have usually been survivable because the helicopter autorotates into the water and the crew and passengers quickly scramble out. If such an event were to occur in V-22, it will probably be fatal to crew and passengers because the aircraft will not smoothly enter autorotation, but most probably depart from controlled flight, and because the cabin is too cramped for a rapid egress.
quote: From higher altitudes, or when operating in airplane it is generally believed that V-22 is capable of conducting a survivable, all engines-inoperative emergency landing...
