Marylanders Move in Droves to Virginia
Maryland lost the most residents in the mid-Atlantic between 2007 and 2010 — and many of them moved to Virginia, according to a study released Tuesday.
Almost 40,000 Marylanders crossed the Potomac River for new homes in Virginia, taking $2.17 billion with them, according to the Internal Revenue Service data used in the study conducted by Change Maryland, a nonpartisan group advocating for less state spending and lower taxes.
The high level of loss may reflect people’s dissatisfaction with Maryland’s tax policy, said Jim Pettit, spokesman for Change Maryland.
Martin O’Malley, Bob McDonnell Square Off
Govs. Martin O’Malley (D-Md.) and Bob McDonnell (R-Va.) continued their long-running war of words Friday morning, battling over who had the better strategy for creating jobs.
As leaders of neighboring states and as the heads of the Democratic Governors Association and Republican Governors Association, McDonnell and O’Malley have criticized each other in the past. Still, the duo has to work together on other issues, including improving Washington, D.C.’s Metro system and cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay.
O’Malley started things off on CNN’s “Starting Point” by saying he was happy McDonnell wasn’t completely ruling out accepting money from the federal government to expand Medicaid as part of President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.

USDA Moves to End Questionable Food Stamp Ads After Criticism
The Department of Agriculture moved Friday to "cease future
production" of advertisements that encourage people to go on food
stamps, FoxNews.com has learned, following criticism over what was
described as an "aggressive" campaign to grow enrollment.
The department had come under fire for a 10-part series of Spanish-language "novelas" that trumpeted the benefits of the food stamp program. The radio ads were produced in 2008, but continued to be available for use.
After those ads drew scrutiny, though, the USDA removed them from its website.

leaked because of a security breach, the company confirmed Thursday.
Still, it added that just a small fraction of the stolen passwords were
valid.

U.S. Border Patrol to eliminate nine interior stations across the country
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) plans to deactivate nine interior border
patrol stations to put more focus and resources in areas closer to actual borders.
Border stations in California, Montana, Idaho and six stations in Texas will be deactivated six months after Congress is notified. The closures will affect 48 border patrol members, who will be re-located to nearby stations or sectors.
"To accomplish its mission more efficiently and use its personnel more effectively, CBP has increasingly concentrated its resources in the immediate border areas," Michael Fisher, chief of CBP's U.S. Border Patrol, said in a memo to chief patrol agents and division chiefs obtained by Federal News Radio.

Paramedics Turn to Expired Drugs Due to Shortages
When paramedics ran out of a critical drug used to treat irregular
heartbeats, the Bend Fire Department in Central Oregon dug into its
stash of expired medications, loaded up the trucks and kept treating
patients.
Paramedics reported asking some of those facing medical emergencies: "Is it OK if we use this expired drug?"
Emergency responders in various jurisdictions have reported turning to last resort practices as they struggle to deal with a shortage of drug supplies created by manufacturing delays and industry changes. Some are injecting expired medications or substituting alternatives. Others are simply going without.

Levin: Welfare Game Has Become 'How Do We Steal From Our Fellow Citizens?'
Last night, radio host Mark Levin declared, “The game now is ‘How do we steal from our fellow citizens?’”
Levin was referring to the growing welfare state in America:
“It’s not just the government. There’s a significant percentage of people in this country that we are battling now, who are demanding that you pay them so they can have a different lifestyle. Not because they’re needy, not because they’re poor, not because they’re handicapped. No. They want you to take care of them.

Viral Video: Shark Stealing Woman’s First Catch Gets Nearly 2 Million Views in 2 Days
Sarah Brame posted a video on YouTube on July 10 of herself reeling
in her first fish. The struggle between man (or woman) and fish can been
an exciting ordeal. Brame’s fiance, William Moore, must be glad he was
filming as it turned out to be no ordinary catch.
As Brame was bringing in the fish, it was stolen — by a bull shark.
The theft occurred right before the lunker was netted, shocking Brame and others on the dock in South Carolina. Since its posting on Tuesday, the video has been covered by dozens of media outlets and now has more than 1.8 million hits on YouTube.

Romney Demands Apology For Obama Campaign's 'Felon' Lie
This morning, the Obama team, springboarding from mainstream media coverage it had likely astroturfed, said that Mitt Romney was either a “felon” or a liar. Its mainstream media lackeys quickly played it up. And this morning, the Obama team was completely debunked by members of its own media, who were shamed into telling the truth by an enraged New Media. Now, the Romney campaign is calling for an apology from the Obama campaign and a retraction from the Boston Globe.
“President Obama’s campaign hit a new low today when one of its senior advisers made a reckless and unsubstantiated charge to reporters about Mitt Romney that was so over the top that it calls into question the integrity of their entire campaign,” said Matt Rhoades, Campaign Manager of Romney For President. “President Obama ought to apologize for the out-of-control behavior of his staff, which demeans the office he holds. Campaigns are supposed to be hard fought, but statements like those made by Stephanie Cutter belittle the process and the candidate on whose behalf she works.”

32 Reasons Why We Need To End The War On Drugs
The global war on drugs began in 1961, when the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs was established in order to create a "drug-free world."
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime puts out an annual "World Drug Report" wherein they examine trends in drug use and production. However, the report never cares to assess the costs created by the war on drugs itself, which are the real problem to begin with.
