And you thought your Hyundai had moves. This is the littoral combat ship USS Independence showing off its turning radius last week. Technically it's a display of maneuvering prowess, but you can't help but think it was also a chance for a bunch of able-bodied seamen to say wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

It has now been more than a year since Facebook?s lackluster IPO, and Wall Street analysts seem cautiously optimistic about the company?s future.
Analysts are expecting revenues of nearly $1.62 billion, which translates to 14 cents per share, when the company announces earnings this afternoon. That?s up 37 percent from Q2 of last year, when the company reported $1.18 billion in revenue, or 12 cents a share.
As the mobile advertising space continues to grow, analysts expect Facebook to be well-positioned to capitalize on that opportunity. If the company?s current upward trend in mobile advertising continues, it should be well-positioned for continued growth.
The real question for Wall Street is whether or not Facebook can continue to drive revenue. The company said that it would begin selling video advertisements that would run in users? news feeds in the first half of 2013, but those ads haven?t materialized yet. One reason for that may be a concern about driving users away to competing social networks.
While it doesn?t seem to be in trouble yet, investors are watching Facebook very closely to see if it?s losing ground to Snapchat and Google+. With new reports showing that Facebook may be losing its luster among young people, that?s a pressing risk.

LONDON (AP) ? His Royal Highness has a name.
Britain's new prince has been named George Alexander Louis, royal officials said Wednesday, ending speculation over what moniker Prince William and his wife, Kate, would pick for their first child.
Kensington Palace said royals are "delighted to announce" their son's name, adding that the 2-day-old baby and third-in-line to the throne will be known as "His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."
Noble names are steeped in history, which explains why thousands of bets rolled in to British bookmakers for the name George, the name of six previous British kings. The moniker evokes the steadfastness of the queen's father, George VI, who rallied the nation during World War II.
Meaning farmer or earth worker, George was the 12th most popular name for boys born in England and Wales in 2011. St. George, a 4th-century Christian martyr, is the patron saint of England.
The name Louis could be a tribute to Lord Louis Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh's uncle and the last British Viceroy of India before independence in 1947. William's father, Prince Charles, was close with Mountbatten, who was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army in 1979.
The announcement from Prince William and Kate ? just two days after the baby's birth ? was quick, by royal standards.
Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh took a month before settling on the name Charles for the Prince of Wales. Princess Diana and Prince Charles took a week before settling on William's four names.
For now, the littlest royal is expected to stay out of the spotlight after making his first "public appearance" in the arms of his parents outside of London's St. Mary's Hospital on Tuesday.
After leaving the hospital, William and Kate introduced their son Wednesday to great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, who was keen to see the baby before she starts her annual summer vacation in Scotland later this week.
Then the young family headed to see Kate's parents in their village near London.
Now that Kate and William have chosen a name, they are expected to soon choose a photographer for the baby's first official portrait.

WARRICK DUNN, CHAD PENNINGTON and ROD WOODSON among 19 Former Players to Serve as Legends
The National Football League today launched its Legends Program, the newest step in a series of programs designed to help former NFL players connect with each other, their former teams and the NFL.
Nineteen former players, including two Hall of Famers, form the first class of NFL Legends who will participate in this multi-faceted program developed by NFL Player Engagement and the league?s Marketing Department.? The Legends will develop, foster and manage national and local alumni relations to deepen the relationship and communication between the league office, teams and former players.? They also will participate in the league?s calendar events and fan platforms as additional ways to remain connected to the game.
NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL and NFL Senior Vice President of Player Engagement TROY VINCENT kicked off the program on Monday, the first of two days of training at the NFL office in New York City.
?Based on our peer-to-peer model, the Legends Program will reach out to our former players, and let them know that their contribution to the game we love is appreciated and their voice is welcome,? said Vincent. ?We are a brotherhood, a family. We need to strengthen our relationships across the generations of our alumni, stay connected, and continue to contribute to this game and to each other.?
The Legends Program is built on a peer-to-peer model used in other NFL Player Engagement programs, fostering deeper relationships between generations of NFL players.? Legends commit to a three-year term during which they will work to connect the 32 teams and the league with more former players.? Legends will work closely with existing club-designated alumni directors, communicate with groups representing former players, and help develop and participate in team and league events.
