Receiving Valentine's chocolates or candy hearts from a special someone can make your heart do a happy jump and make you feel loved.
Recent studies of more than 90,000 adults of mixed ages, ethnicities, and genders who ate chocolate regularly for years showed they were more likely to maintain good cardiovascular health. Studies have linked consumption of chocolate and cocoa products with markers of heart health such as healthy circulation, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Research suggests that flavanols, natural compounds found in plants such as cocoa trees, may contribute to a number of these surprising effects.
Visit The Story of Chocolate to learn more about this sweet treat.
Reference: Chocolate and Heart Health
Stearic acid is the primary saturated fat in cocoa butter, accounting for about one-third of cocoa butter's total fat and more than half of its saturated fat. The remaining saturated fat is primarily palmitic acid. Oleic acid is the primary monounsaturated fat in cocoa butter.
Stearic acid does not raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels like other saturated fats and trans fats do. For this reason, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report recommends that stearic acid not be categorized with known "cholesterol-raising" fats, including other saturated fats and trans fats. See more research on cocoa butter and milk chocolate.
References: Cocoa Butter and Cholesterol
Other recent research found that candy consumption is not associated with higher blood pressure or LDL ("bad") cholesterol, nor lower HDL ("good") cholesterol.
Even people who eat candy every other day or more are no more likely to be at risk than people who eat candy less frequently. However, it is important to eat candy in moderate amounts and be mindful of how many calories you are consuming.
Candy has not been shown to have a detrimental effect on heart health. In fact, the overall findings indicate that eating some kinds of candy, such as flavanol-rich dark chocolate or cocoa, may help support heart health.
The best approach is to eat candy in moderation as part of a lifestyle that balances calories with regular physical activity.

During the press conference he was asked about the status of his starting quarterback. Tony assured the team that Henne will be back into the starting line up. "I narrowed the source of his shoulder problem and me and my staff will work hard to make sure he is properly rehabilitated," Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said. One reporter from the Sun Sentinel did ask about what kind of plans are going to be involved.
"I managed to discuss with Chad about the importance of the proper form for the fist pump. To work that shoulder we must fist pump from 3 to 4 types of different positions. For the lateral portion of the shoulder we are going to make chad do 3 sets of 12 sitting fist pumps, standing fist pumps, and reverse fist pumps on
the side position underneath the goal line. We can't discuss these types of methods due to an undergoing patent war with a popular home workout company. I am willing to settle to do four 1 hour sessions of my future patented fist pump program," said Miami Dolphins Head coach and offensive line expert.

I am after a small but powerful motor for my featherweight lifter, but its odd in the way it would operate. The lifter arm would go from the back of the robot (from the motor) to the top of the wedge (distance 14cm), then down the wedge front (10cm). the forks would be attachd to the side of the arm and extend 5cm from the wedge. It doesn't need to operate very quickly, certinatly the motor doesn't need to go over 1000rpm @18v, and throught this arm it needs to shift 13.6kg
Is any of that useful ?

I am unable to tell how far the load is from the point at which the torque is applied with the information quoted, what is needed is the straight line distance but let's assume 15cm. Also lifting 13.6kg will only happen when the other robot is fully on your lifter arm unless the speed of action is very very quick i.e a flipper.
Speed of operation is key to the motor power as well, linear actuators typically take many seconds to stroke so again for an assumption let's assume 5 seconds. Angle of rotation is also needed but again let's assume 45 degrees.
So you need the motor to rotate 45 degrees in 5 seconds which is one rev in 40 seconds or 1.5 rpm.
Torque needed would be say 7 kg at 15cm as you will only be turning over the other robot. This is 1.05kg/m or 10.3N/m. Our RE975D 504:1 motor has a torque of 3Nm at 28 rpm. If you were to use further gearing of say 10:1, you should get a torque of 30Nm which is plenty and a 45 degree speed of about 2.6 seconds.
Hopefully these sums are correct but you shuld also be aware that the motor may be damage if a force greater than the momentary maximum is applied to the lifter. The max momentary torque is 8.83Nm but allowing for the 10:1 extra gearing, you could handle a torque of 88Nm or 90kg/m. The reason for mentioning this is if your robot is flipped up in the air and you land on the lifter while it is open, it could damage the motor. Maybe a shear pin just in case would protect the motor. Hopefully we have got the above sums correct but do check them yourself.

Recipe by Allrecipes
"Served straight up or on the rocks, the margarita is one of the most popular cocktails of all time. And for good reason! It will cool you down on a hot day or warm you up on a cool day. Any day is a good day for a margarita."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon
kosher salt
1 1/2 fluid ounces
1 fluid ounce
orange flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau®)
1/2 fluid ounce
lime juice
1 cup
lime wheel
Pity the poor Margarita. The original concoction was a relative of the Sidecar: brandy, Cointreau & lemon juice served in sugar rimmed glass. The Margarita substituted tequila, with lime and salt being the traditional accompaniments. Then the mongrelization began. When I came upon the Margarita in the 70's, it had been reduced to cheap tequila, bar mix and a pound of ice to be processed in a blender: an adult Slurpee. Follow the above recipe as if your life depended on it. Use a quality tequila, Cointreau and fresh squeezed lime juice. Triple Sec has always been used by bars as a cheap substitute for Cointreau, but they don't taste the same. As far as turnbot's use of an eggwhite, you are on your own. A Margarita is a cocktail, not the breakfast of champions.
This recipe is not bad: my "perfect margarita" calls for only half an ounce of triple sec (as opposed to 1 once; that much will override the great tequila flavour). Speaking of tequila: your margarita will be as good as the tequila you buy! Avoid the "well-brand" tequilas: for an affordable yet tasty tequila, get Cazadores or El Jimedor reposado. I'm not a fan of "straight up" style margaritas, so I'll always have mine with lots of rocks (ice), or blended. If you want a really frothy, truly PERFECT margarita... Before shaking, throw in half an egg white into your shaker! You'll never go back - trust me!

My advice to throwing sidearms: Slightly crouch lower to the ground with throwing shoulder lower than the other, lead with your elbow, keep your palm up parallel to the ground (do not turn over your wrist), focus on releasing off your middle fingertip (index finger against the middle, used to keep disc flat), and always keep your eyes forward focusing completely on your target. Distance comes with quick wrist snap like your cracking a whip or towel.

Red Bull's Mark Webber leaves it late to top the timesheets in the first practice session for the 2011 F1 season
by Matthew Clayton
Mark Webber has started the preparations for his home race in the best possible style, topping the timesheets in first practice at the Qantas Australian Grand Prix on Friday.
The 34-year-old Australian recorded his personal best of 1min 26.831secs on his 20th and final lap of the 90-minute session, beating teammate and reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel by 0.327secs.
The Red Bull duo were in a class of their own for much of the session, with third-placed Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) the only driver to lap within a second of Webber's benchmark time. The Spaniard was nine-tenths of a second slower than Webber, while Mercedes' Nico Rosberg in fourth was 1.321secs adrift of the Australian.
Williams veteran Rubens Barrichellowas fifth, while McLaren pair Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton were sixth and seventh as they tested a new exhaust system brought to Albert Park by the team this weekend.
Four-time Melbourne winner Michael Schumacher (Mercedes), Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi and Renault's Vitaly Petrov rounded out the top 10.
The first practice session of the new F1 season started in cool and overcast conditions, and Lotus reserve driver Karun Chandhok was the first driver to emerge on circuit. The Indian didn't last long however, crashing at Turn 3 on his first flying lap after just two minutes, and he took no further part.
The session was nearly 40 minutes old before Ferrari's Felipe Massa set the first timed lap, and Webber soon took over at the top to show Red Bull's raw pace. Vettel then grabbed top spot with 32 minutes to go and didn't look like relinquishing it until Webber's last-gasp lap struck an important psychological blow in what will be a fierce intra-team rivalry this season.
Webber's compatriot, Perth's Daniel Ricciardo, was 16th in his maiden Formula One practice session for Scuderia Toro Rosso. The 21-year-old, who will compete in Friday practice at every Grand Prix weekend this season, replaced Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari for the session.
His best lap of 1:29.468 was 2.637secs off Webber's time. In the sister Toro Rosso entry, Switzerland's Sebastien Buemi was 14th, just under two-tenths of a second faster. Ricciardo and Chandhok, who replaced Italian Jarno Trulli for the opening session at Lotus, were two of the three reserve drivers to get track time at Albert Park in the first session.
German Nico Hulkenberg replaced Scot Paul di Resta at Force India for the opening practice of the year, but finished in a lowly 18th place.
A second 90-minute session for Formula One will take place at 4.30pm this afternoon.

- I hit a deer. Am I covered?
- I swerved to miss a deer. Am I covered?
- Will the state pay for the damages, or for my deductible?
- Do I need to file a police report?
Cars strike more than 1 million deer each year, mostly during the fall mating season. Each of those accidents causes an average of about $3,400 in damage to vehicles, according to insurer State Farm.
A 2010 research report for the Washington State Department of Transportation aimed at finding deer-collision hot spots found that drivers are more likely to hit an animal:
- When there are not a lot of big trucks around. Researchers say drivers of passenger cars are more alert when more than 5 percent of the traffic around them is 18-wheelers. The increased noise may help ward off animals as well, researchers say.
- When the speed limit is above 50 mph, giving drivers less reaction time.
- When there are fewer lanes.
- When the median is 6 feet wide or narrower.
These are the most common questions from readers about deer-vehicle collisions and their car insurance policies.
I hit a deer. Am I covered?
To be covered for a run-in with a deer, you need to have comprehensive coverage as part of your car insurance policy. Although the accident with the deer wasn't your fault, you still will have to pay your comprehensive deductible amount. Your mandated state car insurance does not include comprehensive coverage.
You might think a deer strike would be covered by collision, since this coverage normally covers when your car has an impact with another vehicle or object; however, contact with animals (wild or domestic) is specifically listed as a loss covered by "other than collision" or comprehensive coverage on policies normally.
If you have a liability-only policy, then your policy doesn't cover your vehicle for any damages it receives in an accident with a deer or any other object because liability insurance covers the damage you do unto others and not your own vehicle.
I swerved to miss a deer. Am I covered?
When you hit a deer, your claim is filed under comprehensive insurance; however, if you swerve to miss a deer and crash, it is a collision claim.
Although a deer may have started the chain of events that led you to crash the car, if your vehicle didn't actually have contact with the animal, it isn't a comprehensive claim. If you collide with another car or an object (such as a guardrail or tree) or roll your vehicle, the claim for your damages falls under your collision coverage.
Will the state pay for the damage, or for my deductible?
No. No states will pay for repairs to your vehicle, or even your deductible, if you hit a deer. Yes, your state may have an agency to manage the deer population, but it's not as if they can prevent deer from running into the roadway, especially during mating and migration season.
Legislators in a few states have called for governments to pay for damages, or a set amount like $250, to a car owner after his vehicle has been hit a deer. So far, none of these bills has become law.
Do I need to file a police report?
In general, car insurance companies don't require you to fill out a police report to file a comprehensive claim for hitting a deer, but it's advisable to contact authorities anyway.
Having a police report to back up your claim will help you be able file this claim under your comprehensive coverage. If the claims adjuster can't validate your claim that you hit a deer, the claim may end up under your collision coverage instead.
Even if your insurance provider doesn't require a police report, your state may require a police or crash report for accidents where there is any injury, or property damage above a certain amount.
Will my insurance go up?
Comprehensive claims, such as one for hitting a deer, don't typically increase your car insurance rates. However, with many companies, if you file a certain number of claims within a specified period your rates can go up. So, if you already have had a few auto insurance claims in the past few years with your car insurance company, then this one could push your premiums higher due to the total amount of claims you've made.

As mentioned yesterday, Maleficent is now Angelina Jolie's highest grossing film…and there are still territories yet to open. Like Japan. Where she's been with Elle Fanning for a few days – yesterday at the premiere and today for a press conference. As usual, Elle's doing the princess thing in pink and the Jolie's in black. Full Story

Check out Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning at the Maleficent premiere in Japan today. They've done this often on the press tour – dress to their characters. Fanning's in princess dresses while the Jolie goes dark faerie. This time though, it's like a wedding. Angelina's the groom to Elle's bride. Full Story
Monochrome Maleficent

How to give me a gossip boner: Brange. Any Brange. But Brange in black on a red carpet. Brad looking at the Jolie all wanty and smug. Just a hint of the possibility of Pitt Porn. But not yet. Don't reach for the ass yet. There are two more weeks of this. Save it. Build me towards it. Full Story
Maleficent in Paris
Wenn, FameFlynet
Everybody's all like, Angelina Jolie skipped the MET Gala to promote Maleficent in Paris with Elle Fanning but...when does she ever go to the MET Gala? I'm pretty sure she's never been to the MET Gala. There are certainly no photos of it from an image search. Will she ever go to the MET Gala? If she ever did show up at the MET Gala, she'd have to be a co-chair. Full Story
Lupita in the middle

The May issue of Marie Claire features three covers: Lupita Nyong'o, Kate Mara, and Elle Fanning. There was a party last night in West Hollywood to celebrate. Both Kate and Elle wore red.

Best MET sisters: Dakota & Elle Fanning

Both in Rodarte. I like the symmetry of this. It's like each Mulleavy gets a Fanning. And they're coordinated too! This is a great sheer panelled dress on Dakota, 19. Because it's revealing without being risqué. You see how it offers virtually no side-breast? I have to think that that's a strategic decision. Full Story

Belfast International Airport is reporting a significant spike in demand as the traditional summer holidays get underway.
The airport says that passenger numbers are up 10% on the same weekend last July and are expected to exceed 66,000.
The figures are not all about people heading off to overseas destinations. The airport says it has seen an increase in the number of in-bound visitors – a welcome boost for the local tourism industry.
Belfast International Airport Managing Director, John Doran, says that multi-million pound tourism projects such as the Titanic Building and the Giant's Causeway Visitor attraction are playing an important part in attracting increased numbers of overseas visitors.
"Northern Ireland has been able to capitalise on these important tourist attractions, and hosting the hugely successful Irish Open at Royal Portrush has added to our Global appeal.
"Thousands more visitors are flying here directly and the challenge we all face is to maintain that momentum. 'NI 2012 Our Time, Our Place' is delivering impressive results, and Belfast International is playing its part in making it a historic year.
"Despite the weather, we are fast becoming a 'must visit' destination for tens of thousands, and we're seeing a significant spike on last year which was one of our best years ever. Tens of thousands of our own people are heading off on their summer breaks, but we're seeing a sizable influx of visitors on all our carriers, and that augurs well for the future.
"This period is always busy. This coming weekend, we will see activity reach a July holiday peak, so passengers should leave themselves plenty of time to complete check-in and go through to their Departure Gates".

LOS ANGELES – Union Bank, N.A. today announced that Julius Robinson, executive vice president and head of Corporate Social Responsibility has been appointed to Operation HOPE's Northwest Board of Directors as Chairman. The Northwest Operation HOPE Board of Directors guides HOPE's mission to expand economic opportunity in underserved communities through economic education and empowerment in the region. Robinson will serve a three-year term.
"I am honored to lead a talented group of individuals who are dedicated to helping Operation HOPE fulfill its mission of bringing financial education to underserved communities and making a difference in people's lives," said Robinson. "Having been involved with Operation HOPE for many years, it is so gratifying to see how financial education is really helping to empower children and adults to help build the foundation for thriving and sustainable communities."
A long-time supporter of Operation HOPE, Union Bank was one of the first financial institutions in 1992 to create adult and youth financial education and services for underserved communities. Union Bank has supported Operation HOPE by providing grants, teaching HOPE's Banking on Our Future program, and providing HOPE Corps volunteers. In addition, Union Bank was the first national sponsor of the FIVE MILLION KIDS initiative, a program designed to make kids money smart.
Robinson has more than 30 years of banking experience. He currently serves as the head of the bank's Corporate Social Responsibility group where he manages the bank's community development efforts, serves as the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) officer, and as the chairman and chief executive of the Union Bank Foundation. Robinson is also responsible for the bank's Community Advisory Board and oversees the bank's environmental stewardship efforts.
Robinson first joined Union Bank in 1983 and then returned to the company in 1997 as a vice president and regional manager. He was promoted to market president in 2006, responsible for the bank's then 120-branch network in the Central Valley, Central Coast and Northern California. Previously, Robinson has held positions with San Diego Trust & Savings, Crocker Bank, Chase Manhattan, and Home Savings of America.
Active in the community, Robinson serves as Vice Chairman on the board of Students Rising Above, an organization that helps low-income high school students go to college. He is on the board of the MoAD Museum of African Diaspora, a dynamic, world class institution for the study and exhibitions, the culture, history and art of people of African descent within the United States and throughout the world. Robinson also serves on the board of trustees for Alliant International University, a private not-for-profit institution that prepares students for professional careers of service and leadership in psychology, education, business, law, and forensic studies. He served as the 2009 Bay Area Chair for the American Heart Association.
Honored for his community service, Robinson received the Fredrick D. Patterson award as "Individual of the Year" from the United Negro College Fund in 2010; was named by the council of 101 Black Men as a leader and role model to the community in 2007; and received the Whitney Young Award from the Boy Scouts for meritorious service to the community in 2006. He was the keynote speaker for the 2008 Graduating Class of Alliant International University. Robinson received his bachelor's degree in international relations and economics from the United States International University, and completed the post-graduate program with Pacific Coast Banking School at University of Washington, Seattle.

>Francois-Andre Danican Philidor (1726-1795) is widely regarded as the strongest chess player ever in history prior to the modern era.

This shows that the original Philidor book was still the standard work on the subject one hundred years after it was first written.
