Hilton Head Island has carefully nurtured and protected its lush and tropical environment.

Hiking & Biking
You'll find some of the best biking and hiking in South Carolina on designated paths on the Island bordered by plants, wild animals and marshlands. Each trail leads to a point of interest on the Island. Explore trails from sunrise to sunset. Or, cross the bridge to the Main Trail on Pinckney Island.
The 3.5 mile trail is completely bordered by water and watched over by dolphins and alligators. Birds and foliage spill onto the trail in some places making the experience even more spectacular. All trails are suitable for walking or careful biking.
One of the most popular activities while visiting is cycling. With over 50 miles of paved paths covering the Island, there isn't a place visitors can't go with their bikes, including the 12 miles of sandy beaches. Hilton Head Island is also among three League of American Bicyclists silver-lever bike friendly communities on the Atlantic coast. Click here for a map of Hilton Head Island's Bike Pathways. Listing of Bicycle Sales & Rentals & Bike Tours
Visiting with Animals
Hilton Head Island natives also include deer, bobcats, otters, minks and even a few wild boar. Of all the Island creatures, the bobcat proves to be the most elusive, lurking in the forest preserves and in the undeveloped parts of the Island. With great foresight, plantation designers in the 1950's set aside areas for an animal habitat, when the master plan for the Island was first conceived. This ingenuity and high regard for environmental preservation set the standard for resorts worldwide. To view these Island creatures in their natural habitat, guests can take a Lake and Forest Hayride, Horseback Tour or Petting Zoo at Lawton Stables or Walking Tour of the Sea Pines Forest Preserve. These informative, award-winning nature-based tours are ideal for families and can be booked by calling 800-SEAPINE.
Endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtles
The loggerhead turtle, an endangered species, nests extensively along Hilton Head Island's 12 miles of wide, sandy beaches. Few visitors ever meet these 200 pound giants, for the turtles choose the darkest hours of the summer night to crawl ashore and bury eggs in the soft sand. If a visitor happens to spot one of these wondrous creatures, they are advised not to interact with the turtle in any way. These rare animals, some almost a century old, must be allowed to lay their eggs to help ensure the survival of the species. Anyone who is lucky enough to witness this extraordinary sight is advised to mark the spot after the eggs are covered and inform the local Wildlife Department through the wild life hotline at 1-800-922-5431.
Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island offers a late night Turtle Watch for visitors who are interested in observing the habits of the loggerhead turtle. Please call 843-689-6767 for more information. Enjoy Year Round Activities on Hilton Head Island.
Bottle Nose Dolphins
Several oceanfront resorts on the Island, such as Hilton Head Plantation, Port Royal Plantation, Palmetto Dunes or Forest Beach, are excellent places to see a bottle nose dolphin. In the summer, dolphins are prevalent along the shoreline, where they feed on small fish and sea creatures. There are also many companies offering dolphin tours.
Marine life study and dolphin-watching excursion cruises are available through several of the Island's public marinas and through Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island.
Bird Watching
Protected wetlands make Hilton Head the place to watch shorebirds and inland birds. See Egrets, Sandpipers and Wood Storks in Hilton Head nature preserves. Look above to catch Sea Gulls in flight alongside Pelicans and Osprey Eagles. Hilton Head Island is a bird watcher's haven.
According to the Audubon Society, nearly 200 species of birds flock to the lakes, marshes and shoreline of Hilton Head Island. However, more than 350 species of native American birds have been sighted on the Island over the past ten years. Among the most notable of species are the Snowy Egret, the Large Blue Heron and the Osprey, but bird watchers will also discover the White Ibis with its unique beak that curves downward. In addition, smaller Cattle Egrets that first arrived on Hilton Head Island in 1954 from their South American habitat may be observed following Island cows, horses and tractors.
To learn more about the birds of Hilton Head Island, visitors are encouraged to take a bird-watching tour at the Audubon-Newhall Preserve. Please contact the preserve for additional information at 843-671-4721. Many of our Boat Tour companies offer bird and wildlife viewing tours. Click here for a full list.
Audubon-Newhall Preserve
Located just off Palmetto Bay Road, this Hilton Head nature preserve covers about 50 acres on the southern end of Hilton Head Island. There are several walking trails that lead through a wide variety of trees and shrubs. A particularly interesting feature is a wetlands bog that is a common characteristic of Lowcountry barrier islands. It's a great habitat for birds and other wildlife. The preserve is open dawn to dusk and several parking spaces are available inside the entrance. There is a kiosk with information about the preserve and trail maps near the parking area.
Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge
If you seek a great place to see a wide variety of birds and other wildlife, the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge is the place to go. Pinckney Island lies between the northern shore of Hilton Head Island and the mainland. As you come across the main bridge to Hilton Head Island, you cross the southern tip of Pinckney Island. This Hilton Head nature preserve includes most of Pinckney Island, several smaller islands and marshes along the mainland.
There is a sizeable parking area on Pinckney, so you can get out of the car and walk around the island on the 14 miles of trails. Bicycles and kayaks are welcome, but motorized vehicles and pets (whether on or off leash) are not. There are a few portable restrooms in the parking area; however, there is no drinking water available. Maps and information about the preserve are at the entrance.

>You Drink, You Drive...You Lose KSP to Conduct Safety Checkpoints and Saturation Patrols
(Frankfort, Kentucky) - With more people expected to travel on America's highways during the long July 4th weekend, this week could be one of the deadliest periods ever for impaired driving fatalities. To protect Kentucky's families during this holiday period, the Kentucky State Police Governor's Highway Safety Program will support state and local efforts to protect citizens from impaired drivers.
As part of the You Drink & Drive. You Lose. National Crackdown, the Kentucky State Police Governor's Highway Safety Program will be working with agencies statewide to protect everyone from impaired drivers during this busy time of the year.
From June 27 to July 13, 2003, law enforcement will be out in full force conducting traffic safety checkpoints and saturation patrols throughout the Commonwealth.
After years of gradual improvement, fatalities in alcohol-related crashes are on the rise nationally. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that in 2001, 17,448 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes, representing 41% of the 42,116 people killed in all traffic crashes. In 2002, 17,970 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes, representing approximately 42% of the 42,850 total traffic fatalities.
Fatalities in alcohol-related crashes are on the rise in Kentucky as well. In 2002, 209 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes. That's an increase of 22% from the previous year when 172 people were killed.
"There will be no warnings," said Commissioner Patrick N. Simpson. "Our message is simple - You Drink & Drive. You Lose. Violators can lose their licenses, time from their jobs, and lose money in high fines and court costs as well as possibly face imprisonment for repeat offenses, assault and vehicular homicide.
To help raise awareness about the campaign, the U.S. Congress provided the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration $11 million to produce and place national advertisements in English and Spanish to coincide with the Crackdown. The ads will run from June 20 - July 13, 2003 on national networks and programs primarily viewed by 21-34 year-old males which research shows are the demographic most likely to drive impaired. The ads focus on what research shows affects behavior change among this group - increased threat of arrest and of losing their car, license and money. This is the first time the Crackdown will be supported by a national advertising effort.
Studies by NHTSA show the majority of Americans support these types of efforts to protect their communities from impaired drivers. Americans consider impaired driving one of the nation's most important social issues, ahead of healthcare, poverty/hunger, racism and education. Nearly 97% of Americans view drunk driving as a threat to the community. As a result, the majority of Americans support increased use of enforcement efforts like saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints to arrest violators. Furthermore, three-fourths of Americans also endorse the use of stricter and more severe penalties against impaired drivers.

Visiting Australian Schools, Teachers, Principals to Discuss Equity, Choice Programs
WASHINGTON—American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten will join international colleagues at the fourth annual International Summit on the Teaching Profession starting Friday in New Zealand, and then will participate in a study mission in Australia to visit public schools and discuss education and equity issues with teachers, principals and government officials.
The international summit will be attended by education officials and teacher union presidents from approximately 20 of the highest-performing school systems and five of the fastest-improving countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The theme of this year's summit is "Excellence, Equity and Inclusiveness—High-Quality Teaching for All."
On the OECD's latest PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) international rankings, Australia's and New Zealand's rankings dropped, leading to national debates, as in the United States, over the most effective ways to improve education. Australia and New Zealand are dealing with educational equity issues and debating the effectiveness of choice, competition and privatization programs.
Weingarten will be at the international summit from March 28-30 and in Australia from March 31-April 2.

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP (WKZO) -- The attorney for ex-mafia boss Jack Tocco criticized the FBI for its failed search for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa in northern Oakland County. Attorney David Griem said the search was a waste of money and even made a sarcastic comment about the cadaver dog that failed to turn up signs of the remains. Tocco once owned the property where the search took place and Griem says he doesn't believe the FBI talked to his client prior to the search.

Apparently, Confucius (孔夫子) was born on September 28, 551 BC/BCE. That would make him a Virgo…and now something like 2560 years old.
As China's arguably most famous philosopher, thinker, and sporter of long wispy white beards, Confucius' influence throughout Asia is well-known and well-documented. A minor bit of silly controversy even revolves around Koreans allegedly claiming Confucius was Korean, with multitudes of Chinese scoffing. Xinhua, the PRC state news organ, even claims that Confucius' descendants number around 3 million. Nowhere near Genghis Khan territory — that stud — but kinda nifty nonetheless.
So far, the custom Confucius Google logo has been sighted on Google's China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand websites, but strangely not on their Korean website. The main Google.com page doesn't show it yet either and if it well, it may take a few more hours before September 28 hits Mountain View, California.
Hat tip to Japan Probe.

[For] anyone who defends the Obama administration here and insists that the U.S. Government simply must have access to all forms of human communication: does that also apply to in-person communication? Should home and apartment builders be required to install monitors in every room they build to ensure that the Government can surveil all human communications in order to prevent threats to national security and public safety? I believe someone once wrote a book about where this mindset inevitably leads. The very idea that no human communication should ever be allowed to take place beyond the reach of the Government is definitive authoritarianism, which is why Saudi Arabia and the UAE — and their American patron-ally — have so vigorously embraced it.
Surveillance State democracy | Glenn Greenwald
In an article discussing the following (from CNET):
The FBI is asking Internet companies not to oppose a controversial proposal that would require firms, including Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, and Google, to build in backdoors for government surveillance… . That included a scheduled trip this month to the West Coast — which was subsequently postponed — to meet with Internet companies' CEOs and top lawyers… .
The FBI general counsel's office has drafted a proposed law that the bureau claims is the best solution: requiring that social-networking Web sites and providers of VoIP, instant messaging, and Web e-mail alter their code to ensure their products are wiretap-friendly.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Trina TriceMary Thompson of Morrow wants her three foster children to go back to school with everything they need. "School supplies are getting more and more expensive every year," Thompson said. "When you have more than one (foster child) it can be quite a bit of money." Thompson has been a foster parent for more than five years to children who are 5, 11, and 16 years of age. Back-to-school campaigns, such as "School Tools for Cool Kids," could help Thompson's foster children get the supplies they'll need for school. The campaign began July 12 at participating Publix Supermarkets. To participate individuals can purchase prepackaged $2, $3, $4, and $5 priced school supply bags at the front of Publix stores. Thompson is one of many foster parents working with the Clayton County Department of Family and Children Services in helping more than 500 children in foster care. About two-thirds of those children are of school age, said Cathy Ratti, executive director of Clayton County DFCS. More than 9,000 children statewide are under the care of their local DFCS. Philip Kouns, executive director of Rainbow House, hopes Clayton County residents won't forget his organization this year. Rainbow House provides shelter for abused children. "We admit over 300 children a year," he said. "We go through a lot of supplies. We're always needing underwear and socks and waterless soap would be good, too." Another campaign is being organized to help single parents. "Give a Kid a Chance," sponsored by the Georgia Community Services Program, is a back-to-school outreach event at New Mount Calvary Church in Morrow. Several rooms will meet the different needs of family preparing to send its children back to school, according to Dometrice Scandrick, director of the program. "In one room there is new clothing," she said. "In the next room are new book bags packed with school supplies. Then, from room to room, the children will receive haircuts and dental, hearing, and eye exams." There are 16 "Give a Kid a Chance" events scheduled to help 8,000 children in Atlanta, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Ohio areas. Donations of $20 per child are being sought from local individuals and businesses. "Every $20 becomes $160 worth of goods and services," Scandrick said. "It takes many civic, religious, and charitable organizations partnering with businesses and individuals?to pull a program of this magnitude together."

Classes started this week for the students at Eastern Mennonite University, and the new students aren't the only ones getting a warm welcome to the Valley.
There's nearly a dozen new faculty members this year.
Julia Halterman, a new professor at EMU, came from Texas and is teaching in Harrisonburg for the first time.
Halterman earned her bachelor's in biology at Texas A&M University and her master's in biological and physical sciences at the University of Virginia.
She is teaching human anatomy and physiology, animal form and function, and nutrition at EMU.
Halterman said she likes the fact that EMU is a smaller university where the faculty and staff have a close bond with the students.
"I've learned a lot about myself in the last couple weeks. Mainly that I love teaching - it is a passion of mine, and I really get to express and enjoy that passion being here at EMU with the students," said Halterman.
Halterman will also teach with EMU's new program - a two-year master's in biomedicine for people who want to get into the medical field.
She said this is good for students who want to make a transition to careers like nursing and physical therapy that are in high demand.

Does anyone know what is going on with Patty Mills? He played some great ball for Australia in the past few weeks and played well in the Summer League as well...
I think we should just send Rudy packing and sign Patty!!!
On the subject of Rudy... if he decides he want out of the NBA and takes a 2 year break does that create a spare roster spot or is it just bad luck for the Blazers?

If you are a cinephile, there will be a handful of movies in your lifetime that you will feel the need to defend ardently, convinced that it's a movie that most of the world just "didn't get." But even thinking that puts you at a disadvantage, because majority often rules. So one must choose their battles carefully.
Making a living evaluating, loving, and writing about films, I very rarely write the "all of you are wrong" articles, because I know that they can really force a writer into exile, especially depending on what portion of your audience he or she is calling out. In this case, involving the vastly misunderstood and wholly brilliant 2007 action film starring Clive Owen called Shoot Em Up, I have no problem pulling up a soapbox, grabbing a microphone, and letting 90% of the world know they were wrong about this film. This is not the silly action film that most take it as. Just the three stars in the film alone should tell you that. Clive Owen, Monica Bellucci, and Paul Giamatti. And you think, based on those three alone, that this movie is the film you think it is? No.
This is not THAT action movie. This is the movie that is completely mocking those movies, and doing so with Shakesperean levels of brilliance. Yes, I just name dropped Shakespeare in an article about Shoot Em Up. Man, the comments are gonna get hairy, huh? Well, I can promise you that you'll feel less compelled to want to strangle me by the end of this piece than you feel right now. Trust me there. Or not. Who knows, really?
Continue reading on the next page…Next
The first thing you all need to understand for any of this to work is just who Clive Owen is portraying. This might be hard for you to grasp, but honestly, this is the truth. Do you actually think him always having a carrot is just a "funky prop?" He just likes carrots? Well, right there, you are immediately off about what you are seeing. Clive Owen may be portraying a man named "Smith" in this picture, but do you know who he was based on?
He is based on Bugs Bunny. No, really he is.
Director Michael Davis deliberately modelled the character and his mannerisms and confidence after Bugs Bunny. That is why, in the first moment you see him in the film, he is literally just sitting there, munching on a carrot. If you think back to almost any early Looney Tunes cartoons, that is how we would be introduced to Bugs Bunny. The screen would pan by and he would just be matter-of-fact-ly eating his carrot with a "so what" look on his face. And that is JUST how we meet Smith in Shoot Em Up. This also starts the over-the-top, cartoon action too, right away, with no dialogue.
We just see a pregnant woman running past a carrot munching Clive Owen, and we see the he sees that armed men are chasing her for some reason, trying to kill her. To this he responds with a roll of the eyes, and a very British sounding "f*cking Hell" and he gets up and readies to go save her, as if he finds himself in this situation all the time. Brilliant. Silly. Satirical.
But take your break now, because the movie starts up and never takes a breath from this moment forth.
Continue reading on the next page…Previous Next
Next up, we need to talk about the birthing scene. This unnamed woman goes into labor, and "Smith" delivers the baby WHILE still engaged in a shootout. He is delivering this screaming woman's baby, all whilst spinning and popping bad guys like they are black heads. The whole time he keeps this determined look on his face, like this is no big thing, and to top it off, when he can't figure out what to do with the umbilical, he shoots it. He literally shoots her umbilical chord to separate Mother and baby. Cartoon much?
And some people dare say this movie sucks because it is cheesy? Are you SERIOUS?
You could not tell in this moment that the movie was just going all in and pulling no punches? What is the ONLY thing separating this from being a cartoon? The fact that is't not animated. Everything else about it, from the generic look and constant supply of stupid bad guys, to the multiple carrot executions that happen in this movie, it is all cartoon, so why are some people judging it in the same way they would judge a film like The King's Speech or Braveheart? This movie is not trying to tell us some story. This movie is painting vivid caricatures, giving us some major John Woo levels of violence, and topping it off with some seriously great, over-the-top performances from top tier talent. Honestly, what is there NOT to love? This is live-action Looney Tunes as made by John Woo. Only a commie wouldn't like something this magical.
And how about that love scene?
Continue reading on the next page…Previous Next
A scene so stupidly awesome, that Drive Angry had to recreate it with Nic "NOT THE BEES" Cage. Again, if you watched this scene, shaking your head at how unrealistic and silly Shoot Em Up was and how, and I quote you now in a nerd voice "There is no way he could successfully manage to stay inside her and accurately shoot all of those bad guys," than you missed the entire point of this movie and this scene. It is poking fun at the idea of action movies like this. The movies we used to get in the 80′s, that featured one man, taking out whole third world countries without any help, and barely ever showing any emotion or breaking a sweat. That is what Shoot Em Up is. An homage the the cartoons you loved as a child, mashed up with the action movies you grew up with. Do you see how magic that is? It is like a gift from the movie heavens, and yet, people scoff at it.
And one last thing I want to praise about this movie is EVERYTHING about the Paul Giamatti character, Hertz. He is the kind of bad guy who foams at the mouth, seemingly ready to bite a baby's head off at any point. EXCEPT when his wife calls, at which point, you can hear that is just an emasculated house husband who lives under the reign of a domineering and (presumably fat) wife. It is hilarious the way they play that dichotomy, right up the end of the movie, when he finally has a moment of, what we shall call clarity. He is the bad guy you love to hate, but he plays the character with such gusto and has so much fun for it, it has me really excited to see what Giamatti will do as Rhino in the new Spidey flick.
So if you are watching Shoot Em Up, thinking you are watching an action film in the realest sense of the word, you are setting yourself up not to like this movie. But if you are sitting down, having grown up on Bugs Bunny cartoons and amazing, slow-motion shootouts from John Woo movies (with a liberal dose of video game action tossed in between), than you will love Shoot Em Up for just what it is.
An amazing ride and what so few movies are anymore. Fun. The live-action cartoon you always wanted, but almost overlooked when you finally got it.Previous

An indie videogame developed almost solely by Dylan Fitterer and available for purchase on Steam for a low price.Throw F-Zero into a Klax track and make it a music game (though not a Rhythm Game in terms of timing button presses) in much the same vein as FreQuency and Amplitude (by Harmonix of Guitar Hero and Rock Band fame), gauge performance by implementing an online scoreboard for every single song played, and design the game so that it can take almost any audio track in most common formats and generate a playable track out of it. Y'know, the sort of game that is probably a controlled substance in several countries. The genre is hard to pin down, but can broadly be described as a Puzzle Game.The gameplay is deceptively simple. The game has you riding a small spaceship down a colorful, bumpy track (its shape generated based on the music file you provide the game with) with colored blocks scattered throughout, which you use to score points. There are two major game modes: Mono and Puzzle, the latter being divided into several "characters" or playing styles (Pointman, Pusher, Vegas, Eraser, and Double-Vision.) Both require you to match up three same-colored blocks, but in Mono there is only one type of color block, and gray blocks you have to avoid. The Puzzle modes have three to five colors depending on difficulty level, along with an array of powerups. The objective is to make as many and as large matches as possible (and if you're on Mono, do it without hitting any greys) to get a high score.The ability to play any song is the game's unique selling point. Rather than being restricted to whatever tracks and artists the developers could buy, you can just go with anything in your CD collection. If your music collection sucks, then there's also the in-game "radio" system where the developer selects a bunch of indie tracks suggested to or discovered by him; plus the fact that the game comes with the Orange Box soundtrack bundled with it for free. Yes, that includes Still Alive.Some people at the GameFAQs community have tried figuring out a plot to this game. This topic comes closest to what the plot actually is. Then again, with an acid game like this, who needs plot?A free version of the game called Audiosurf: Tilt was released for the short-lived Zune HD in November 2009. The gameplay was a much simpler version of Mono; the goal of Tilt was to collect as many blocks as possible while avoiding roadblocks by using the device's accelerometer. Hitting a roadblock caused the ship to leap into the air, preventing the ship from being able to capture blocks for a short time. Collecting blocks allowed players to purchase more track designs. It is no longer available to download due to Microsoft's discontinuation of the Zune brand.A sequel called Audiosurf 2 is currently available for early access on Steam. Unlike the original game, the sequel takes its title rather literally with the player now playing as a cyber-wakeboarder who, in addition to picking up blocks similar to the original games Mono mode now must use the tempo of the song to launch himself into the air and do flip and grab tricks. Check out the development blog here.YouTube won't stop until every single song in the world is ridden.See also Beat Hazard.

5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
Another stock that insiders are snapping up here is Servicesource (SREV), which manages the service contract renewals process for renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements on behalf of its customers. Insiders are buying this stock into some major weakness, since shares are off by over 37% so far in 2012.
Servicesource has a market cap of $719 million and an enterprise value of $589 million. This stock trades at a premium valuation, with a forward price-to-earnings of 68.50. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -22.2%, and for next year it's pegged at 100%. This is a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $114.20 million and its total debt is just $1.51 million.>>5 Technical Trades Under $10 A director just bought 349,704 shares, or $3.23 million worth of stock, at $9.10 to $9.39 per share. From a technical perspective, SREV is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock was destroyed by the sellers during the last four months, with shares plunging from $16.77 to its recent low of $7.73 a share. During that sharp move lower, shares of SREV have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of SREV have recently started to find buying interest at around $8 a share, and it's reversed its bearish trend. If you're in the bull camp on SREV, then I would look for long-biased trades once this stock breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $10 to $10.64 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.1 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then SREV has a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $13 to $14 a share.
