WAYNESBURG – A suspect in an armed robbery at a convenience store near Fairmont, W.Va., led police on a high-speed chase north on Interstate 79 early Wednesday before his vehicle was forced to a stop by state police near Ruff Creek in Greene County.
Rocco John Iacovone, 26, of Washington, formerly of Fairmont and Glendale, Ariz., was arrested by state police and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude police, driving under the influence of alcohol, recklessly endangering another person and other charges.
Police said Iacovone also is a suspect in armed robberies at a Subway restaurant in Fairmont Sunday and at a BP station in South Strabane Township, Washington County, Monday.
The pursuit on Interstate 79 began near Fairmont. Fairmont police said they received an alert at 11:49 p.m. Tuesday about an armed robbery at Go-Mart in nearby White Hall, W.Va., in which the robber fled in a white minivan.
A Fairmont patrolman spotted the vehicle traveling north on Interstate 79 and attempted to stop it. The driver fled.
Fairmont police, assisted by officers with the Marion County, W.Va., Sheriff's Department, continued the pursuit on Interstate 79, at times hitting speeds of 90 mph.
When Iacovone entered Pennsylvania about midnight, state police here joined the chase.
State police deployed spike strips at the 14-mile marker near Waynesburg, which deflated one of the vehicle's tires. The vehicle continued north, exited the interstate at the Ruff Creek exit and turned right onto Route 221.
About two-tenths of a mile from the interstate, state police Trooper Joseph Popielarcheck used his car in a "pit maneuver," bumping the minivan's bumper with his own in an attempt to stop the vehicle, state police said.
Iacovone lost control of the minivan, which overturned on the west side of the road. Iacovone fled on foot, jumping over two fences before he was apprehended by two troopers. Police said they had to use substantial force to overcome his resistance.
Iacovone was arraigned before District Judge Lou Dayich and placed in the Greene County jail on $100,000 bond. He faces a preliminary hearing on the Pennsylvania charges at 10 a.m. Feb. 22.
State police on Wednesday morning conducted a search near the Kirby interchange of I-79, where they said a Marion County sheriff's deputy had seen Iacovone throw a handgun from his vehicle. The investigating trooper could not be reached Wednesday for comment on the search.
Iacovone also is a suspect in an armed robbery Sunday at a Subway restaurant in Fairmont. Fairmont police Lt. Steve Shine said a man entered the restaurant about 11:30 p.m. armed with a handgun and demanded cash. His department expects to file robbery charges against Iacovone in Marion County today. Shine said Iacovone had lived in Fairmont but in the last week or two moved to Washington.
A spokesman for the White Hall Police Department would only say the department is investigating the Go-Mart robbery and expects to file charges against Iacovone.
The robber of a BP gas station on Racetrack Road in South Strabane Township Monday entered the store about 3:10 a.m., pointed a handgun at the clerk and asked for money and cigarettes. The robber fled in a white van.
South Strabane police said Wednesday a description of the handgun and the clothing worn by Iacovone when captured appear to match those of the gas station robber. Investigators there said they will coordinate their efforts with those of the other police departments.

CECIL – A Cecil Township man surrendered peacefully following a more than three-hour Thanksgiving Day standoff with police at his residence, where he had fired several shots at family members while armed with an assault rifle.
Cecil police Capt. Shawn Bukovinsky said no one was injured, and that officers had taken the suspect, Joseph Kovan, 41, into custody outside his 13 Charles St. residence.
"Everybody is safe," Bukovinsky said after the standoff ended about 8:30 p.m. "He did shoot at his father and sister. He gave himself up." The Washington County Regional SWAT Team was summoned to the residence after Kovan's parents managed to flee the house and call 911 at 5:10 p.m., Bukovinsky said. Police later managed to convince Kovan to allow his sister to leave the residence, he said.
He said police were preparing late Thursday to file charges against Kovan, who had been under the influence of alcohol when he began arguing with his relatives.
Police from multiple departments also were summoned to the standoff.
A resident of Charles Street, when reached by phone during the standoff, said police told her a man had barricaded himself inside a house there with a rifle. The woman, who did not want to be identified, said police told her to stay inside her house.
During the incident, police from neighboring departments had blocked Cecil-Henderson Road between Route 50 and Hickory Grade Road.

Review: Pristina Vodka
Posted by Arctic Wolf on July 21, 2011
You might say that I am a bit of a Highwood Distillers enthusiast. I toured their distillery last year (See Highwood Distillery Tour), and I have unabashedly fallen in love with the quality of their whisky which seems to me to be one the best kept secrets of the whisky world. In spite of my fondness for this distillery, I find myself continually underestimating their abilities.
And so we come to Pristina Vodka…
I guess I should have known when I received my sample bottle that what was inside would be nothing short of marvelous. But maybe it was the uninspiring bottle and label, or maybe it is just a case of us Canadians being a little too self conscious to believe we can be as good as everyone else in the world. Whatever the reason, when I put the Pristina in a flight of Vodka samples at a recent tasting where it was up against an Authentic Russian Vodka called Black Stallion, a real Polish Vodka called Alchemia Czysta, and a Vodka made in France called Grey Goose, I was not expecting what happened. What happened was that every person at my tasting session chose the same Vodka as their favourite, and every person said it wasn't even close. That favourite, the clear head and shoulders winner without reservation in everybody's opinion, was of course the Pristina Vodka from Highwood Distillers.
I guess I have already tipped my hand that the score will be high, but here is an excerpt from my review:
"…My good feelings towards the Vodka continued as I took my first large swallow (shot). I was happy to taste no vegetal tones and to feel no burn at all in my throat. The swallow was clean and completely smooth. The back of my mouth received a mildly spicy warmth; but my throat felt no heat, even with a substantial swallow of the Pristina Vodka…"

As well I have included a suggested recipe in the form of a Vodka Tonic.

The UNC Asheville Athletics department hosted the Our Turn to Play Luncheon presented by Wells Fargo on April 9th in Kimmel Arena to honor the 40th Anniversary of Title IX as well as the successes of women as leaders and athletes. Former Olympian Marion Jones was the keynote speaker. The event was also a scholarship fundraiser.
Over 300 attendees came together for the program, which was hosted by WLOS TV-13's Tammy Watford, and featured remarks by Chancellor Anne Ponder, Athletic Director Janet Cone, Robby Russell, Market President from sponsor Wells Fargo, Women's Soccer Head Coach Michelle Demko, and Grace Blaylock, a senior on the Women's Basketball team.
Event Committee Co-Chair Rebekah Lowe pointed out that the purpose of the luncheon was to honor the 40th Anniversary of Title IX of the Education Acts of 1973, which outlawed discrimination in education and athletics. "Title IX opened many doors for women, in academics and sports", she said. The achievements of women since the law's enactment were also celebrated. The goal of the fundraiser was to raise enough money to support at least one athletic scholarship.
Marion Jones' speech was well received by the guests as she focused more so on the opportunities that athletics provided to her and others coming from underprivileged childhoods than on the events surrounding her perjury conviction and admission of performance enhancing drug use. Her keynote was preceded by a brief video about those events, but when she came to the podium she emphasized the need for the "choices and chances" that athletics offer. Jones also pointed out that although there is legal equality, there still remains a poignant need for scholarship funding to follow through on Title IX's promise.
The presenting sponsor was Wells Fargo, and supporting sponsors were PSNC Energy, Mission Health, ABYSA, Pizza Hut, Givens Estates, Insurance Service of Asheville, FizzyWork, UBS, Barley's Taproom & Pizzeria , Forest Commercial Bank, Pepsi, Arby's, Eliada Homes, AVL Technologies, Asheville Savings Bank, and Altamont Properties.

Voice from Puisque Mai tout en fleurs (A. Jacques / Victor Hugo) - original version
Poem by Victor hugo dated 1835. Also set in music by Gabriel Fauré ( "Mai"). Translation:
Since May all in bloom is calling us in the meadows Come! and don't be tired of mixing your soul With the countryside, the woods, the charming shades, The large moonlights on the banks of sleeping waters,
The track where the path is starting, And the air and the spring and the immense horizon, An horizon that this world is attaching humble and joyous Like a hem at the bottom of the robe of the sky!
Come! and may the gaze of the modest stars Which falls on the earth through so many veils, May the tree pervaded with perfumes and songs, May the scorching breath of midday in the fields,
And the shade and the sunshine and the water and the greenery, And the glow of the whole nature Cause to open, like a double flower, Beauty on your forehead and love in your heart!

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
It sounds like from what you are saying that, after you read for a bit, your vision becomes "veiled" (do you mean blurry?) but that otherwise your vision is OK. If this is what you mean then it sounds like you problem may primarily be with your tear film/anterior segment.
There are many things that can cause these type of problems however the most common, by far, is a combination of dry eyes, allergies and blepharitis.
When it comes to allergies it is almost impossible to pin down the offending agent(s) and, therefore, treatment needs to focus on controlling the symptoms. Dry eyes are very common and can be improved by a stepwise series of therapies. First, the use of natural tears 4-6+ times/day to augment your natural tear production, if this doesn't work then you can try temporary punctal occlusion of the lower puncta, then, if needed, temporary occlusion of all 4 puncta then, if indicated, surgical ( non-reversible) closure of the puncta. The openings to your tear drainage system are called puncta and you have one opening on each lid, near your nose.
Blepharitis is a condition where glands in the eyelids are not functioning normally. They become plugged and instead of putting out their normal clear, oily secretions, they put out thick, toothpaste like gunk. You may not be able to see this "gunk" yourself, unless it is really bad, but it shows up clearly on slit lamp examination.
The best treatment for this condition daily lid scrubs combined with warm compresses. I like to use baby shampoo for lid scrubs. In the shower, place the shampoo on your index fingers, close your eyes, raise your eyebrows (to stretch the skin on your eyelids) and scrub back and forth along your eyelashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The hot water in the shower helps to soften the plugged oils in the glands while the mechanical scrubbing with your soapy fingers removes the oils.
Baby shampoo lid scrubs will also help to wash away allergens and stimulate tear production, thereby addressing all three of your issues. Remember, this is not an instant fix. While you are waiting for the lid scrubs to have affect you can use over the counter allergy pills such as Travist, dimetapp or Zyrtec.
Should your symptoms get worse, your vision become significantly affected or things just not get better in 3 weeks or so you should have a complete eye examination by your local ophthalmologist to look for other, less common, causes of your symptoms.
Does this make sense to you?
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)

In the letter "Natural gas provides a better life," which appeared in the Jan. 23 edition of the Observer-Reporter, Steve Duran implies that objections to shale gas extraction are superficial, selfish and baseless. According to Duran, people object because they don't like noise, their truck is going to get dusty or they don't like the bright lights or the big trucks on the road.
If Duran would do as he himself urged and look at the facts, he'd see that drilling and slickwater horizontal hydraulic fracturing for shale gas is not "pretty safe" and that every item on his list contributes to the damage.
High noise levels cause an increase in stress hormones, which leads to high blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It also suppresses the immune system. Studies have shown effects on learning in school children. Noise impacts wildlife as well, interfering with animal-to-animal communication, predator and prey detection, and navigation and migration.
Dust associated with fracking may come from dried flowback fluids that in many places are sprayed as de-icing brine on roads. In addition to high levels of sodium and calcium, frack flowback fluids can also contain cancer-causing chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and dozens of other chemicals which can harm eyes, skin, liver, kidneys, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal tract, the cardiovascular system, and the central nervous system. Particularly insidious are the endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which at extremely low levels can alter development, reproduction, metabolism, and behavior in humans and wildlife.
Other frack-related dust comes from the enormous amounts of silica sand that is used to hold open cracks in the fracked shale. Inhalation of silica dust can lead to inflammation and scarring of the lungs, which makes the sufferer more susceptible to lung infections by bacteria and fungi. This silicosis is irreversible and has no cure.
Light pollution disrupts the circadian day/night rhythms of humans and other mammals as well as birds, amphibians, reptiles, and insects. In humans, excessive light at night can contribute to sleep disorders, depression, and increased risk for breast cancer. Light pollution alters plant development as well, affecting a variety of events including root growth, shoot growth, and bud break and flowering. Light pollution even contributes to air pollution by preventing the buildup of chemicals that help to neutralize nitrogen oxides that contribute to smog.
Big diesel trucks can make as many as 1,000 trips per well during the drilling and fracking process. The exhaust from these trucks is a major health hazard. Particulate matter irritates eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, and contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Nitrogen oxides promote ground-level ozone, linked to headache, asthma and other lung diseases. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contribute to lung cancer.
Duran didn't even mention the more-familiar hazards; contamination of millions of gallons of freshwater each time a well is fracked; spills and leaks which pollute water, soil, and air; evaporation of toxic chemicals from flowback holding ponds; deliberate dumping of frack flowback water into streams and rivers; escape of methane from wells, which contributes to global warming; destruction of farmland and forests and the resulting increase in invasive species, including agricultural pests. None of this is only for a short period of time.
Since the 1970s, U.S. farm policy has been heavily influenced by the chemical and fossil fuel industries. The result has favored get-big-or-get-out industrialized agriculture, leading to the demise of millions of family farms. If Duran takes a closer look, he'll see that the fossil fuel industry, which he has embraced as the answer to a life of hard work with little to show for it, has not only played a major role in making family farming much less profitable than it used to be, but also is damaging the soil, water and air upon which his livelihood depends.

When the jet-lagged, huddled masses yearning for ground transportation and a nap arrive at Washington Dulles International Airport, they are greeted by Paige Spara.
There's no telling how many people the 23-year-old Spara has greeted since the spring. Thousands, to be sure.
But it's not the flesh-and-blood Spara who has been telling passengers what papers they need to navigate customs and where they need to go. As international passengers have been shuttling into the airport from points all over the globe, Spara has been 200 miles to the north in New York City, working in the theater and appearing in commercials.
Spara, a 2008 graduate of Washington High School, appears in the airport as a 3-D, surround-sound hologram. It's the first of its kind in America, though these so-called "virtual assistants" have cropped up at select airports in Europe and Walmart stores in Britain have installed them.
"They wanted to renew the airport and make it a little more new and a little more entertaining," Spara explained from her apartment on New York's Upper West Side last week.
Spara won the role as a "virtual assistant" from a field of 30 to 50 women because "when I read off the teleprompter, I just really shared my personality."
Winning the role is another mountain conquered in an acting career that is showing tremendous promise. Spara also has a national commercial for Forevermark Jewelry on her resume, and variations of it will be airing again in the lead-up to Mother's Day. She also has appeared in TV ads for Google Maps, Volkswagen Golf, Bose speakers and Sally Hansen Nails.
Her stage credits include "A Christmas Carol" at the Irondale Theatre in New York and "Barefoot in the Park" for Pittsburgh Community Theatre. She attended the Point Park Theatre Conservatory for two years and then switched to Marymount Manhattan College, where she received a degree in theatre performance last spring.
The commercials have provided two key benefits for Spara. First, the pay isn't terrible, and it has allowed her to be one of those rare young actors who can pay for room and board without having to take on an additional job waiting tables or walking dogs. And the commercial gigs get her closer to her goal of film acting and give her a taste of what film acting is like.
"I like the fast pace of it," Spara explained. "That's what my technique is – I love thinking on my feet."
Spara grew up in Washington and is the daughter of Kim and Kevin Spara. When she was in high school, "she was just a shining star ... spectacular," said Judith Totty, the now-retired head of the English department and drama teacher at Washington High School. "On camera, she just sings. Her essence is there. People love her. It came through in live theater."
Totty continued, "She's going to do wonderfully in New York or Hollywood or wherever she goes."
Acting was "the one thing I never quit," Spara pointed out. The first signs that she wanted to follow in the footsteps of Streep and Hepburn emerged when she would run around her house in a bonnet like Laura Ingalls after watching reruns of "Little House on the Prairie."
"I wanted to be so many different characters," she said.
And though the odds of success can be long – there's that line from the song "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" that references all the stars who never were parking cars and pumping gas – Spara approaches her work with optimism.
"I might still be naive, but I'm very much focused in on my world and my goals. There's never a day where I don't do something toward my career."

LightingClassic Mustangs in stock condition weren't known for having the brightest Mustang Lighting from the factory. In fact, the Mustang lights on many of these cars border on being unsafe, as the lights are frequently so dim that other drivers on the road could have trouble seeing the Mustang in poor weather conditions, or the Mustang's driver may not be able to see too well from behind the wheel. The only solution is new Mustang lights. CJ Pony Parts offers over 500 different lighting options for owners to easily upgrade and replace their weak stock Mustang lighting.
Some of these new Mustang lights include brighter headlights that allow drivers to see much easier at night, and allows others to see them more clearly when on the road, especially in poor conditions. To support these new headlights, other exterior Mustang lights are available, including turn signals, parking lights and taillights. Many of these Mustang lights are also available as LEDs, allowing you to incorporate the latest Mustang lighting technology into your classic Mustang.
Late model Mustangs are frequently in a different situation with regard to the Mustang lighting. While the original Mustang Headlights, the Mustang Taillights and other Mustang lighting components are often very functional and moderately bright, many owners frequently choose to upgrade their Mustang lighting to get a new look for their Mustang, or brighter lights from modern technology that wasn't available when their Mustang was built. One issue that is very common on late model Mustangs, too, is fogged up Mustang lighting fixtures, caused by water getting into the fixture. CJ Pony Parts offers many new fixtures that can fix this problem.
Finally, most present model Mustangs have Mustang lights that are typically in great shape. Therefore, most Mustang lighting upgrades for these models involve an upgrade in style. CJ Pony Parts offers many Mustang lighting options that allow owners to add some chrome, some additional brightness or even additional lights! One of the most popular options is the addition of Mustang Fog Lights or the relocation of these fog lights to a non-stock location.
CJ Pony Parts also offers Mustang lights for the interior of your Mustang, so you can get newer and brighter bulbs or even LED upgrades inside your Mustang, too. Many new Mustang lights can also be colored, like the popular LED Halo Headlights that are available from CJ Pony Parts for 1964.5, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969 Mustangs. With these options, no matter what Mustang lighting upgrades you desire, CJ Pony Parts is going to have all of the parts you need

WAYNESBURG –It was four years ago today that 70-year-old Betty Jane Amos McClellan was murdered inside her Sycamore home. Her family and friends continue the quest to find her killer and bring them to justice.
A reward fund has more than doubled to over $5,000 since her death, symbolic of how much she meant to those who knew her.
Patty Friend, owner of the Pennsylvania Livestock Auction in Waynesburg, considered Betty family. She had worked in the kitchen at the auction for more than 20 years.
"She was one of the best of the best. She was like a sister to me. She loved people, loved the Lord, and she lived for her kids. There was no doubt about that," Friend said. "People of all walks of life still come in and ask, 'Where is that wonderful woman?'"
Friend said Betty was the type of person who helped people because she had a strong faith. It didn't matter if they were rich or poor, she said.
"Her picture still hangs here at the livestock auction, and it will as long as I'm alive. She'll always be here, and she is here," Friend said, making a plea. "If anyone knows anything, please come forward, any information that may lead to solving her murder. No matter how small you might think it is, please come forward."
It was 3 a.m. March 23, 2009, when there was a knock on the door of the Oakdale residence of Betty's daughter, Shelly James.
"I woke my husband up and told him somebody is at the door. They asked if Betty McClellan was my mother," James said. "I just started saying, 'no, no, no.'"
Her mother and stepfather had been shot. Betty died of a single gunshot wound to the head. Her husband, Jake McClellan, was hospitalized for five days, shot in the cheek and the neck.
Based on Jake's description, police issued an alert for a white Ford Econoline van, possibly a late 1980s model with windows on the side and rear doors. A description was given of a white male in his mid-40s, medium build, between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall, short brown hair and a light mustache. No description was given for a second person who was said to be the driver.
James, her twin sister, Sherry Coffey, and sister, Lisa Gerhart, spoke candidly about their mother and the investigation into her death. Each expressed their frustration that information about the case has been so scarce.
"The police call us every few months to say they are doing stuff," Coffey said. One of the original investigating officers assured them it would never be considered a cold case.
James said there was always talk it was a robbery by people looking for money or something to sell to get cash for drugs. That has never added up, according to Betty's daughters.
"Her jewelry wasn't touched, not that there was anything really of value, but there were mugs in the kitchen in plain view full of coins. They walked right past it. There was a gun on the nightstand right by where she was shot," Coffey said. "My brother Dave's rifle was sitting behind a dresser."
James said it never made sense why someone would choose her mother's residence.
"Why choose this junked out trailer when there were nice houses all around it?" she asked. Although the residence was in a remote area, within a quarter mile there are other houses, some that one would think a thief would find more enticing, she said.
Gerhart said her family is grateful for all of the support they have received from family and friends in the Graysville area. Looking through family photographs, the girls described Betty as one in a million. She was the seamstress for their wedding gowns, a band booster parent, Sunday school teacher and packrat who even kept her grown children's baby teeth in a drawer.
"We miss her more and more every day. She didn't deserve to die this way, nobody does. But, we know where she is," James said.
Trooper Robert Cree said the state police would welcome any help in solving Betty's murder.
"Anything anybody knows, feel free to call us," he said. "This case is still open and active."
Betty's murder came just months after that of 81-year-old Noble Wine of Waynesburg. Wine was shot and his house set ablaze in an apparent attempt to cover up the shooting. It, too, remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about the murder of Betty McClellan or Noble Wine is asked to call state police in Waynesburg at 724-627-6151.

Although most of my residential home & land listings are usually within a 35-mile radius of Greater Bangor, I have ventured over 100+ miles for a unique property. My land/waterfront, camp/seasonal home properties can be most anywhere. Raw land, ocean, lake, pond, stream, river, brook, field, wooded - you name it- I either have it listed or can find it for you ! Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Waldo & Washington Counties are my usual haunts- on occasion I have delved into Somerset and the SE portion of Aroostook. Name the place- maybe I can help.
Prior to my real estate career, I had diversified business experience in the automotive, legal and medical professions (bookkeeping, secretarial, office management and lab technician). I even had a short stint at a photo studio enhancing portraits by hand (pre-digital era!), spent several years doing part-time work for an inventory company (that was fun) and also worked for a credit bureau abstracting info from various Registries & District Courts (an eye-opener). I enjoy detail work- what can I say?

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LF1 is new highly portable compact camera with a 28-200mm (equivalent) f/2.0-5.9 Leica-branded zoom sitting in front of a 12-Mpix back-illuminated 1/1.7inch type CMOS. It's also the first of its type to adopt an electronic viewfinder and has built-in WiFi with NFC technology for simplified photo-transfer between smart devices. Read on to see it performs in our labs.
In the compact camera market manufacturers will go a long way to make their product stand out: Carl Zeiss or Leica lenses for instance offer a certain cachet. The Samsung EX2F has several features that make you want to look closer; it has a Schneider Kreuznach lens, with an f1.4 aperture. It has built in WiFi to help you share or back-up your pictures and it is housed in a chassis of magnesium alloy. Are these things enough in this very tough market sector?
Launched in September 2012 the Fujifilm XF1 is a fixed lens compact aimed at advanced enthusiasts after a pocket-sized second camera for holidays and photo day trips. Featuring customizable function buttons, creative exposure modes and a manual barrel zoom lens with a 25-100mm equivalent focal length, there's plenty of control for serious photographers to sink their teeth into. What's more with a 2/3-inch 12-megapixel EXR-CMOS Sensor at its heart we're optimistic the $499 Fujifilm XF1 will deliver on picture quality, too.
Announced this January at CES 2013, the Pentax MX-1 is Pentax's first foray into the relatively crowded field of high-end-compact cameras. With a 12-megapixel, 1/1.7-inch backlit CMOS sensor, the Pentax MX-1 competes directly with established high-end compacts like the Canon PowerShot S110, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, Olympus XZ-2 iHS, and Nikon Coolpix P7700 among others, many of which have already been through multiple updates and iterations.
Canon's PowerShot G15 is the latest iteration of the popular G-series compacts aimed at enthusiasts. It packs a number of refinements over its predecessor, not the least being a new f/1.8-2.8 high-speed zoom, larger, high-resolution screen and a smaller, more compact body. It also marks the move from CCD to a Canon made CMOS with a fourfold increase in maximum sensitivity and full HD (1080p) video capture. Will the new Canon show any advance in image quality over the earlier G12? Read on to find out.
Canon's Powershot S110 in an update on its previous Powershot S100, there are some improvements in the styling and user interface and an increase in the maximum ISO, which should be welcome for users working in low light. However the DxO Mark overall score fails to live up to its predecessor, so are the changes purely cosmetic?
Canon's PowerShot S110 continues the growing trend of DSC cameras adopting mobile-like technology. For its part, the S110 includes embedded Wi-Fi technology, making it easy for users to share photos and video. It also enlists a touchscreen LCD screen for photographers to adjust exposure settings, edit, and spruce up an image with filters and effects.

Jan. 1 marks the 20th anniversary of the "Velvet Divorce" separating the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but two natives of the former Czechoslovakia say the date in the European nation will likely be as low-key as the first day of independence.
Marcel Oravec, 28, has spent the past year in the U.S., working first as an accountant and then assistant controller at Washington Penn Plastics. Joining him for the holidays was Livia Vyhlidalova, 25, a student in marketing and strategic management at Comenius University, a venerable institution of higher learning in Bratislava, the Slovak capital.
For those with an intimate knowledge of the so-called "old country," Oravec hails from Spisska Nova Ves, while Vyhlidalova is from Sered, outside Bratislava.
Though both were mere children 20 years ago, they've been cognizant over the years that Slovakian independence has not supplanted New Year's Day in importance.
And if they were spending Jan. 1 in Slovakia, the sole marking of events two decades ago would likely occur in the form of news stories like this one, or through televised documentaries.
"I remember a little bit, but I like history," said Oravec, who was nearly 9 when the countries split.
"I think there are people who feel very strongly about the separation," Oravec said.
"A lot of them think it was better when we were together," Vyhlidalova said of her parents' and grandparents' generation. "Nowadays, it is not a big deal that we are separated."
Czechs and Slovaks were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was dissolved by World War I. A pact known as the Pittsburgh Agreement forged the two Slavic ethnic groups into a nation, which also witnessed a severing during World War II. Soviet occupation maintained Czechoslovakia as a member of its Eastern Bloc until the fall of Communism in 1989 began restructuring the map of Eastern Europe.
Unlike the violence that beset the power shift in Romania and the ethnic conflicts that resulted in genocide and war in the Balkans, the establishment of separate governments in Slovakia and the Czech Republic went as smoothly as their "Velvet Revolution" of 1989.
So why did the eastern and western sides of the country go their separate ways?
Oravec noted there was a Slovak parliament and Czech parliament even before the breakup, and the population of Czechs was significantly larger than that of Slovaks. Although Czechs and Slovaks speak separate languages, they can understand each other. And during the decades of unification, it became common for branches of families to live in either region.
"Slovak politicos felt, OK, maybe we are not as important to them as we would like to be. We are not like partners, you know? I think that started some negotiations," he said.
There was no referendum on breaking away, and Oravec said, "Ordinary people did not want the split. They saw no reason."
Vyhlidalova said people got new passports, and in 2009, Slovakia began using the Euro as their currency as the economies of Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain faltered.
The Czechs, however, stuck with their currency, the crown. "Now they are smiling," Vyhlidalova said, her expression mirroring her choice of words.
"It helped Slovakia a lot," Vyhlidalova said of the breakup. "A lot of companies were located in Prague. In Slovakia, there was agriculture."
But the separation necessitated economic growth in Bratislava and elsewhere in the country.
Slovakia's largest industry had been firearm and armament manufacture for the former Soviet Union, including a subterranean manufacturing facility that offered protection in case the Cold War turned into a hot war. Rather than Jan. 1, Vyhlidalova and Oravec pointed to Sept. 1, Slovak Constitution Day, as the focus of their country's independence.
On Sept. 1, 1992, the Slovak Constitution was officially adopted and signed by soon-to-be Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar.
Vyhlidalova said she can recall her family visiting their mountain retreat in honor of the holiday.
"My uncle was really, really into politics and he adored Vladimir Meciar," she said. "We were lighting a bonfire for independence, and I can remember it was, like, 'Wow!'" Meciar was the standard-bearer for the Slovak Democratic Party. His counterpart was the late playwright Vaclav Havel, who was both the last president of Czechoslovakia and the first president of the Czech Republic.
"We just woke up on the first of January," Oravec recalled. We were Slovaks, and they were Czechs. Maybe there were some that were really celebrating."
David Doellinger, a former Pittsburgh resident who became an assistant professor of Eastern European Studies at Western Oregon University, recalled spending New Year's Eve 1992 in National Uprising Square in Bratislava, Slovakia's capital, with about 50,000 other people.
"Slovak flags were flying everywhere," he said in a 1993 interview with the Observer-Reporter. A display portrayed the infant republic as a doll and Czechoslovakia as a coffin. A giant screen flashed the numerals 1993 and the word, "Slovensko," the name of the new nation in the Slovakian language.
"Joyful Slovaks launched bottle rockets and firecrackers. Complete strangers pressed handfuls of souvenir lapel pins and pretzels upon Doellinger, who was doused in champagne and shivered in the cold," the story said. He also recalled a church group staging a candlelight vigil, singing mournfully to mark the end of Czechoslovakia.
"It is estimated that close to 100,000 (Slovakians) came to this area looking for work and a chance for a better life," according to the website GlobalPittsburgh.org. "Metropolitan Pittsburgh has 105,525 descendants of Slovaks, making it the number one city in the world for people of Slovak heritage outside of Slovakia itself."
A historic marker in Pittsburgh commemorates the founding of Czecholslovakia in what is known as either the Pittsburgh Pact or the Pittsburgh Agreement on May 31, 1918.
According to the 2009 American Community Survey of the U.S. Census, there were approximately 801,000 people of Slovak heritage living in the United States.
Of these, 43 percent reside in the northeastern states, with Pennsylvania ranking first among those with Slovak ancestors.

The Boy Scouts of America and South Carolina State Parks have worked together and have enjoyed a very strong relationship since the early 20th century when scouts were formed and parks were developed. The new Scout Carolina program formalizes this partnership and provides a way for the participating scouts to be recognized for their accomplishments.
The first recipient of the Scout Carolina Patch is Drew Moore from Boy Scout Troop #5 in Columbia, SC. Drew's Eagle Scout Project consisted of taking out an old wooden fence near the historic log cabin at Sesquicentennial State Park and replacing it with a newly-constructed, cedar rail fence. He is actually the first of five eagle scouts that will eventually work on this project.
