Justice Jeffrey K. Oing of New York State Supreme court warned JCPenney on using Martha’s name anywhere: “I don’t want to see it in advertisements, in any brochures or promotions. You are to stay away from the Martha Stewart brand,” he said.

JCPenney Knocks Out Macy’s In Court Ruling: JCP Can Sell Martha Stewart Products
Well lookee here — there’s news about JCPenney and for once, the company isn’t on the losing end of the stick. A judge ruled today against Macy’s request to extend an injunction that barred JCPenney from selling Martha Stewart designs in its stores. The ruling means JCPenney can peddle Martha’s wares (temporarily), as long as the products don’t have her name on them.
Justice Jeffrey K. Oing of New York State Supreme court warned JCPenney on using Martha’s name anywhere: “I don’t want to see it in advertisements, in any brochures or promotions. You are to stay away from the Martha Stewart brand,” he said.

Jury Awards $90 Million In Prince George’s County Wrongful-Death Case
A Prince George’s County Circuit Court jury has awarded $90 million to the family of a 13-year-old girl who died four years ago after she was struck by a car while trying to catch a school bus.
The family of Ashley Davis, who was a freshman at Crossland High School, sued the Prince George’s County Board of Education after she succumbed to her injuries two weeks after the Sept. 1, 2009, crash. A six-member jury handed down the wrongful-death verdict — one of the largest in the court’s history — this month.
Davis was walking across Brinkley Road near Fisher Road in Temple Hills when a Lincoln Continental traveling east struck her, then hit a minivan and then a 17-year-old boy walking on the opposite side of the street, police said in initial reports about the two-car crash.

THE BEE GEES & RITA HAYWORTH
This is outstanding..... Somebody had a lot of fun with this. Most of the people in the video were deceased before the Bee Gees recorded Staying Alive. Whether you are a Bee Gees or Rita Hayworth fan or not...you are going to like this. A great job of putting clips together with the music. It is a great marriage of 40's dancing and late 70's music. Enjoy.

NY Times Op-Ed: Bomb North Korea
It’s rare that I somewhat find myself agreeing with far left liberals on an issue, but this op-ed piece by Jeremi Suri is absurd
Bomb North Korea, Before It’s Too Late
The Korean crisis has now become a strategic threat to America’s core national interests. The best option is to destroy the North Korean missile on the ground before it is launched. The United States should use a precise airstrike to render the missile and its mobile launcher inoperable.
President Obama should state clearly and forthrightly that this is an act of self-defense in response to explicit threats from North Korea and clear evidence of a prepared weapon. He should give the leaders of South Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan advance notice before acting. And he should explain that this is a limited defensive strike on a military target — an operation that poses no threat to civilians — and that America does not intend to bring about regime change. The purpose is to neutralize a clear and present danger. That is all.

Abortion Doctor’s Murder Trial Sparks Media Debate
Some journalists are asking why the murder trial of a Philadelphia abortion doctor isn’t receiving more coverage.
In 2010, police raided Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s abortion clinic, called the Women’s Medical Society, in a low-income neighborhood of West Philadelphia and found what a grand jury report called a “baby charnel house” where illegal and late term abortions were performed under dangerous conditions. Now on trial, Gosnell is charged with the deaths of one patient and seven babies allegedly born alive during abortion procedures; eight former employees–none of whom were certified doctors–may also face prison time.

Sneezing And Wheezing Solutions: Surprising Ways To Relieve Spring Allergies
The runny noses, sneezing and foggy-headedness of allergy season seem to start sooner and sooner each year. And that could mean a longer period of misery for those sensitive to pollen.
Warmer winters, triggered by climate change, are a major contributor to intense allergy seasons, since milder temperatures could lead to longer growing seasons for plants, which just provides more time for them to send their pollen into the air.

Support For Md. Workforce Training Program Unites Business And Workers
Behler has been struggling to find work since 2011, when he lost his job as a piano technician after 30 years in the music business. Until a few days ago, Behler was homeless, and he spent over 18 months without housing.
His hope is that the EARN program will allow him to get a technical certification in plumbing or construction, which he sees as his ticket out of poverty.

Are You A Looker? Motorcyclists Are Looking Out For You
Office of Highway Safety reminds motorists to look twice for motorcyclists.
Dover – With winter gone and spring bringing warmer weather, more motorcyclists are out on the roads. The Delaware Office of Highway Safety (OHS) is reminding motorists to keep an eye out for motorcyclists because they are looking out for you.
Across the nation, motorcycle crashes continue to be on the rise. To date this year Delaware has seen 22 motorcycle injury crashes and 1 motorcycle fatal crash. That is why the OHS continues to promote both Motorcycle Safety campaigns Share The Road and Respect Your Ride.
The Share The Road campaign is aimed at motorists to be extra alert to keep an eye out for motorcyclists on Delaware roadways. Motorists are reminded to allow a motorcyclist a full lane width and allow for more following distance between you and the motorcyclists. Although it may seem that there is enough room in the traffic lane for a motor vehicle and a motorcycle, the motorcycle needs the room to maneuver safely. Do not share the lane, share the road.
Education and outreach efforts for the Share The Road campaign include billboards, bathroom mirror clings, radio ads, stickers and window clings with the share the road message.
