MASONBORO ISLAND, NC (WECT) - Every year, thousands of people flock to the water on the Fourth of July, and many of them dock at Masonboro Island for the day.
"Masonboro Island is a huge draw, it has been for years," said Todd Rodabaugh. "People come from all over."
The New Hanover County Sheriff's Office says there has been a growing number of arrests for underage drinking on the Fourth of July and injuries on Masonboro Island. There has also been a concern about the large amount of trash left on the sand.
Authorities with the sheriff's office say approximately 2,300 people were at Masonboro Thursday, and the following number of incidents and warnings took place:
Wildlife officers said many people would get a ride to the island and then get stuck there, not having a way to take their trash with them when they leave.
"Unfortunately, a lot of people don't treat the island with any respect they take a lot of things out here then leave them," said Rodabaugh.
This year, though, several agencies teamed up to sure people clean up and stay safe both on the land and in the water.
According to Jack Kilbourne, founding member of Masonboro.org, 65 volunteers worked together Thursday to ensure the island was clean and clear of trash at the end of the day.
Kilbourne said the island was spotless when the volunteers left, and no follow up beach cleanup was necessary.
Wildlife officers also teamed up with an increased number of law enforcement officers to make sure people don't litter, and follow other rules, like drinking. ABC Officers patrolled making sure peopling drinking were at least 21 years old and weren't driving a boat.
"A lot of times when people get alcohol in them they think they can swim across the inlet, they can't and we always have to get them out," said Radabaugh. He says their main goal is to keep people safe, and keep the island safe, while they are it.
According to Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House, several agencies worked together to set up a command post to specifically deal with dispatching units to Masonboro Island, which cut down on duplicate dispatches.
House also said his units and WPD patrolled docks located on private property to keep boats from launching from the private party.
This was part of a plan set into motion several months ago where he got written permission from homeowners who frequently go out of town to go on their property if they feel like a crime was being committed.

I don't know why but I cringed at the mistake here but our acronym is "CU" but we are not Colorado University. We are the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Yep good old Republic of Boulder. Home of Hippies, internet start-ups, the Onion, and of course the masses of WoW playing college students.
Although it sounds like to me the guy went "Oh crap, my thesis is due tomorrow and I have a raid in 10 minutes...wait a minute now there's an idea!" (And plus it's in the Colorado Daily, I mean, who reads that anyway?)
My mistake, didn't mean to imply the onion was founded in boulder, but the fact that there is an official "the onion" office less than a block from campus, and that the paper is always readily available around campus. That and "the onion" tends to have more "real news" than the Colorado Daily did, at least when I went there that paper was a joke.

Brooklyn Winery's team crafts small-batch, artisanal wines in Williamsburg?and if winemaking in an urban environment sounds odd to customers, they can always find out how it works during Tuesday winery tours. The tour guides walk groups through their entire process, from the moment the grapes arrive at the facility to when the cork goes in the final wine bottle, trapping the wine genie inside for good. Of course, the process varies from wine to wine. The team ages some vintages in stainless-steel containers, while the barrel-fermented riesling is aged, predictably, in oak barrels, an old-school technique that originated in prerefrigeration Germany. The result? A quirky riesling with hints of soapstone, mushroom, and honey.
The team doesn't just reclaim old German traditions, though. For their unpretentious 1,200-square-foot wine bar, they also reclaimed most of the building materials. In the cozy, unpretentious bar, visitors sip vintages pulled from wine racks that were once World War II ammo boxes; the walls, meanwhile, were barn wood in a past life, and the bar itself is made from old church pews, completing the aura of modernity rooted in history.
Little Town NYC unabashedly hearts New York. Of its three restaurants, two are located in iconic Manhattan spots: one in Union Square, the other on Theater District's Restaurant Row. Little Town's fancy for the Empire State shines through on the menu, too, with homestyle dishes such as the Adirondack chicken pesto and an Angus beef burger topped with crispy Berkshire bacon. The Suburb Backyard BBQ platter is piled high with enough buffalo wings, Nathan's hot dogs, and other locally inspired fare to feed a family of four.
Little Town NYC also takes great pride in its beer list, which features more than 100 local brews, including IPAs and amber ales that hail from breweries in Long Island, Ithaca, and Saratoga Springs. At the Restaurant Row location, you can enjoy a pilsner from Coney Island while sitting in a booth constructed from the beach's old wooden boardwalk.
Mario and Anna Abitino emigrated from Naples to the U.S. in 1972. Mario quickly found work in the pizza business, and the couple eventually opened a restaurant of their own: Abitino's Pizza and Italian Kitchen, in Midtown Manhattan. That was more than 20 years ago. Today, the couple and their three sons, Dominick, Mario Jr., and Salvatore, run six New York pizzerias bearing the family name. Each offers an expansive menu of signature pizzas and other Italian entrees, such as gnocchi sorrentino and pasta stuffed with fresh littleneck clams. Their pizzas and calzones use dough made right on the premises, and their tomato sauce is also housemade—with tomatoes from Naples, naturally.
Chef Ricardo Cardona might be from El Salvador, but that doesn't mean his cooking sticks to tradition. At Mamajuana Café, he draws on more than 25 years of cooking to build his modern cuisine on a foundation of his homeland's centuries-old cooking traditions. And it seems like his efforts have paid off: his Nuevo Latino dishes, which also prominently feature Dominican flavors, earned the eatery a Critics' Pick designation from New York magazine. All that attention might be on account of the chef's inventive flavor combinations, such as sweet plantains stuffed with salted cod, chicken-tempura sushi rolls, and Cornish game hen topped with diced chorizo and lobster. In the dining space, tufted leather banquettes run along the wall just beneath studio lighting and backlit artwork. Bright red and earth-tone curtains give the room a clublike vibe, which set the tone for when diners take to the dance floor between courses.
Hampton Luxury Liner transports its passengers around in a lavish motorcoach that boasts five flat-screen TVs, complimentary WiFi, and an on-bus library. The luxury buses travel to destinations ranging from the Hamptons to Atlantic City, with specific stops at wineries, resorts, and casinos. Reclining leather seats with space for laptops and maximum leg extension typify the cushy interior, and each road cruiser also comes equipped with a library and refrigerator, useful for storing steaks to distract the thousands of chasing dogs such a luxurious bus usually attracts.
Whether you're a passionate brewing hobbyist or a beginner who simply loves beer, you'll find the staff at Homebrews & Handgrenades remarkably approachable. Nobody here is trying to intimidate others with their vast knowledge; they simply want to teach customers about the brewing process and help them stock up on the right supplies.
Behind the quaint storefront are shelves stacked with ingredients and brewing equipment. Thankfully, the staff can guide you through the containers of hops, barley, yeast, and beer plants, recommending which ingredients work best for specific styles. Brewing classes dive deeper into the world of beer and give students the chance to craft five gallons of the good stuff.

AUGUSTA – Governor Paul R. LePage is pleased to announce Maine's rating of "most improved" in tax rankings.
The Tax Foundation released recently its 2013 State Business Tax Climate Index comparing tax rates and policies across states. Maine saw the greatest improvement in its tax ranking this year, moving from 37th to 30th on the list. The positive momentum is attributable to the LePage Administration's efforts to reduce the tax burden on Maine residents and businesses, according to the Tax Foundation. The Index specifically identifies the repeal of the individual alternative minimum tax for individuals and the expiration of a temporary ban on net operating loss carry forwards as two key factors in the tax climate improvement.
"The reduction of the tax burden on residents and businesses will lead to more and better jobs in Maine," said Governor LePage. "It is notable that Maine had the most sizable rank improvement this year, as a result of the repeal of our individual alternative minimum tax and a change in treatment of net operating losses. By removing burdensome government regulations the people of Maine will prosper again."
Within New England, Maine ranked higher than Connecticut (40th), Rhode Island (46th), and Vermont (47th). Maine's corporate tax component improved 6 places from 2012 to 2013, the second-most for any state, and the individual income tax component improved three places, tied with Idaho for the most in the nation.
Additional changes to Maine's tax structure, including lower brackets for individual income taxes that take effect January 1, 2013, were not considered in this year's report and will likely result in even further improvements in Maine's ranking. Estimates indicate approximately 440,000 Maine resident returns will have an average reduction in their individual income tax liability of $340 in tax year 2013, an average decrease of 11 percent. A family of four, according to Maine Revenue Service, with $50,000 of Maine Adjusted Gross Income will have a reduction of $300 or a 25 percent cut.
All of you folks who criticize the governor, take note. We voted for him because he has the sense to do the difficult things that need to be done in order to straighten out the mess that our very liberal and shortsighted politicians have made over the past years.
The governor is probably making it impossible to be re-elected but even if he is not, he'll leave us in much better shape than we were before we put him in power.
Thank you Governor LePage!

I'm trying out SafeSync starting with a 19GB file. It started by saying the backup would take three days and nine hours, which was wishful thinking. Last night (the third day), it said 16% was backed up. This morning it's 6%. At one point it said three files were backed up with one to go. Then four were backed up and now five, still with one to go.
I don't know what those other files are, since I only put one file in the SafeSync drive. But what I really care about is being able to backup large files. How can I tell if something went wrong with the backup? Should I start over?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The "xxx files done, yyy to go" message seems to be largely fictional, especially the xxx part. There are other issues with the client (look for SafeSync posts in this forum), such as not quite managing to back up all files.
SafeSync does not seem to have an intelligent backup continuation after interruption. If backup of a file is interrupted, it seems to start again at the beginning when the connection comes back. I had plenty of problems with a 1GB file (I did have a noisy extension that was causing broadband loss every few hours, I hope now fixed). You would need fast and reliable domestic broadband to back up a 17GB file. And you mustn't turn anything off or let it go to sleep until the backup is complete.
As you only have very few (though large) files, you can check out from the web interface what files are really backed up. Right click on the SafeSync icon in the notification area (bottom right) and choose 'Open Trend Micro SafeSync website'. If a file is backed up, it will show with sensible date and size. If it is in the process of being backed up, or an attempt has previously been made to back it up, it will show with size 0 and some old date (1970 if I remember right).
For this issue kindly use the link below.

In this week's Crane Damage, I'd like to address the newest, latest and greatest in the world of Chiefs Fandom. The Thigpen Illusion.
Now before all you Herm Apologists and homers and insane sheep come out and stomp your feet and cry "but we ARE looking better"- hear me out. I'm you! I'm die-hard Chiefs! I hate Denver and Oakland and can't imagine going to a game in any other stadium than Arrowhead! I am the guy that found Joe Phillips! I am the guy who called for Brodie Croyle's head! I am the guy who gave you LJ's accuser! I love you man! Sometimes when we love so deeply we have to give out some tough love. Lock the doors, this has went from column to intervention.
I think Tyler Thigpen is good. I'll say it again, Tyler Thigpen is good. The guy looks like a capable NFL QB. I don't know if he can start and win games yet, but he gives the illusion of a good football team. A mirage in a dusty desert Chiefs fans crawl to — reaching out for, holding out hope that someone can rescue us from QB hell and quench our thirst for stability. Oh, hahaha! But then there's Herm Edwards and Ashton Kutcher there at the water's edge to kick sand in your face with his 32nd ranked defense. You're on Punk'd!
Some of my detractors out there, newly-anointed Hermaphrodites, claim that I never have anything good to say about Herm. My reply is, give me something good to say! Why do you think I named him Harm? Because the guy does nothing but bad things for our team. We need a Hippocratic Coaching oath that includes "Do no Harm", the Lombardi Pledge or Ditka Doctrine could be some good names for said oath.
Fact of the matter is, Mr. Thigpen hasn't won a game yet, and its not for a lack of trying. The same old Herm reasons also apply here why we are still losing games- poor clock management, poor decisions on 3rd and 4th down, not kicking to send a game to overtime… Common denominator = Herm. The only reason the Thigpen isn't hurt yet a la Croyle & Huard is because of the spread offense. Thiggy Smalls should be on his hands and knees every G.D. night thanking Chan Gailey for his head still being attached to his body.
We went to the spread offense out of necessity! Necessity! We had to get 8 guys out of our box so we could breathe on offense because Herm's vanilla ice cream offense melted down our hand — and then like Brodie Croyle's urine — went straight down the leg. Had we not switched to the spread, we'd be signing more guys off the street and Mark Wahlberg isn't walking through the doors anytime soon.
You know and I know that we aren't playing Herm football right now and that's where this Thigpen mirage comes from. We see the ball flying around and making some first downs and even some touchdowns, but still come up short but "Hey at least it was fun to watch right?" Right and wrong, because next year when we have a starting QB and some semblance of an offensive line and maybe some new toys on defense we are going to be right back to square one with Harm Edwards football. Running the ball (if we still have LJ) and trying to play the vaunted Tampa 2 without the right linebackers and we are going to be having all these same conversations again.
- Why can't we keep our QB upright?
- What is Herm doing/thinking/watching on that play?
- Why are we losing games in the 4th quarter?
- Why are we running the ball up the gut 3 times and punting?
Get ready Hermlovers, because this is what this site will look like just under a year from now.
Clark Hunt — if you or your minions are reading this, I implore you, I beg you…make your mark on this franchise. Its time to step out of Daddy's rather large shadow and take the reigns of this stagecoach because its headed over the cliff and the horses have blinders on. Hire us a winning coach and the rest of the pieces will fall into place. None of this "do-over" and free shit season pass business. This football team is exactly that, a business. Treat it as such.
I love the Addicts and all Chiefs fans, but I spit the Herm Edwards bait out, and I'm not falling for this debacle and never will. We are worse than the Detroit Lions record-wise. Think about that.
1-18 is UNACCEPTABLE!
I picked us to go 4-12 again this year. Not too much to ask for and it could still happen, but until I see improvement on the win/loss record, we aren't getting any better no matter how thirsty we are for victories, what we are seeing now is a mirage, and a lot of Chiefs fans are seeing what they want to see.

Slow-Roasted Tomato Pasta
Namaste Posted: 03/28/11
Kathy M. Posted: 03/19/11
I hate tomatoes but loved this dish. The slow roasting took the acid out of the tomato and replaced it with a rich,tang with a hint of sweetness. I used heirloom tomatos instead of plum. I will make it again.

This was delicious - even my 8-year-old son said, "Whoa, this is good!" Not typical for him. With a little planning, it was easy, too. Great recipe.
epestrad Posted: 04/18/11
This was a great recipe and very easy to make. Next time, I'll add about a cup of the cooking liquid (rather than 3/4 cup) but other than that, perfect!
BrendaLRGale Posted: 06/13/11
Making this tonight, but I'm wondering what they mean by "cored". I know how to core an apple, but do they mean just remove the round bit on the end? There sure won't be much tomato left if I core it like an apple...frustrating not knowing! **UPDATE** - I ended up just coring out the stem end. The tomatoes turned out great, but it seemed like something was missing, maybe herbs. It was good but not spectacular. For WW, it was 10 pts.

SPOKANE – The events that bring people to Geiger Correctional Facility may vary, but The Green Sleeves Project is receiving universal approval from the inmates who volunteered to be a part of it.
The Lands Council started the partnership with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office to not only receive some help with its planting projects, but to help teach valuable skills to inmates that could make them more employable when they return to society.
"There's a lot of guys in jail that haven't, whatever the circumstances they've grown up with, they haven't had a good feeling of self-accomplishment and had an impact on the environment," Geiger Correctional Facility inmate Dwayne Hackley said. "This is a good way to build themselves as well as the environment and the community."
Inmate Brian Frear, who has a background in general construction, said his new knowledge about planting could really compliment his skill set.
"Not only can I help Grandma plant some carrots, but I'll be able to do sod and plant trees," Frear said. "I've never planted a tree before and now I'm planting a couple thousand."
Hackley, too, can't wait to share his planting skills with his family when he is released in a few months.
"I'm actually looking just to get the knowledge to be able to help our environment and maybe be able to pass that information on to my children," he said.
The Green Sleeves Project will take inmates on-site to Cooley Creek on Thursday where they will be planting trees. Soon, The Lands Council will begin to teach inmates a classroom component called "Roots of Success," which is designed specifically for inmates involved in programs like this.

DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA (WALB) - There's a rapidly growing population of frogs in parts of Dougherty County though a lot of those frogs are getting wiped out by drivers.
Monday afternoon we found an army of little hoppers trying to cross busy Radium Springs Road. Some didn't make it.
They're coming from a low-lying pecan orchard still full of water from last month's heavy rain and flooding. It's not the only place where the amphibians seem to be taking over.
Neighbors in Putney called in a pest control agency but the exterminators say the frogs help get rid of pests and shouldn't be wiped out.

Mobile library service options
Aaron Tay did a survey of over 40 mobile library sites/apps, and tracked some patterns and trends in what he saw. If your library hasn't braved the mobile landscape yet (and you really, really need to), his post is a good place to start to get a sense of what's being done already. Mobile is a moving target because of the rapidly changing devices, operating systems, and platforms. But get in now, get in simple with a small mobile version of your library website. Doing a mobile site is more important than an app, so if you have to choose, start with the site.

Nardwuar vs. Metta World Peace
Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) is probably as eligible as they come for the role of prodigal son. Some things, like what NBA team he was drafted into, he had no control over. Other things, like his infamous Detroit brawl, many argue he had lots of control over. Whatever the case, the Queensbridge-bred defender just recently got picked up by the New York Knicks and fans that love the home team, are excited to have the former St. John's University player back in town. Here's a cover story from issue 43 that we dug out from the archives. It's about how real the homie, his story, and his raps are. New York should appreciate that. (via @massappeal)

I do remember a time when I went to AK and took the bus to DHS. When I came back the driver thought I was nuts since it was after closing. But the bright side was, that it was only my car left in the lot at AK. I didn't know til after the trip that I could have moved my car for free to the other park.
The picture idea helped my at the Minnie lot on top of DL parking structure last weekend! Actually made for a good pic too!
Which brings up a cool story to put on the site: "How to survive a theme park on your I Phone Apps). It could include the parking app, Wait Watchers, and others I don't know about.
I sometimes use a camera, but I have a fecund memory for remembering. I used a Pluto hat today (Muetti and I went to the Magic Kingdom.) to help me remember our lot row.

Chapter twenty- Mikey's Wife0 Reviews
I lay in bed for a week, curled up in darkness, in the messy blankets and sheets.
Jamia would come in every so often and leave me food, I'd just pretend I'm sleeping every time someone came in, I'm not in the mood for interacting with people.
I was listening to the deep sound of Franks voice, trying to figure out who he was talking to (because it wasn't Jamia's voice replying) when Bandit waddled into the room and climbed onto my bed, cuddling me, falling asleep next to me quietly. I stared at her for a few minutes startled then I too fell asleep.
When I woke up she was gone and so was Franks and the other voices.
It was quiet and I felt sick, I ran to the bathroom and threw up loudly into the toilet.
I collapsed onto the cold tiles and I didn't have the strength to get up or move, probably because I hadn't eaten in a week.
When I regain strength I stagger downstairs, no Frank, no Jamia, no Cherry, no Lilly.
What the fuck?
Where is everyone?
I go back upstairs and lie in bed watching the sun fade and the moon rise in the sky from the window seat until I hear the sound of the front door opening, keys being thrown onto the table and it's not who I expected to come upstairs.
"Blake" it's Alicia, Mikeys wife.
"Are you okay?" she asks quietly, I shake my head slowly and shut my eyes tight.
The last time I sat in a window seat was with Steph and I haven't seen her since then, they took her away and I don't know when I'm going to see her again.
"Blake, come with me" she reaches out to put a hand on mine and I flinch back, she twitches but rests her hand on my shoulder. I turn to face her and her face is panic stricken and worried, "Come with me" she repeats a little louder.
"Where's Mikey?" I ask as I stand up, I tower over her now so she has to slightly look up to be looking directly in my eyes-
"Um... He-" she trails off and we go downstairs together.
She picks up her keys and locks the door behind her and then we both hop into the small Holden and I can't tell where we're going.
I haven't been out of that room in a week and it's so strange seeing my surroundings again, things I used to pass everyday and not pay attention to I'm now noticing and its strange, especially at night.
She takes a left and I know where we are, I've been here a lot more times than you'd think- its the clinic.
I frown at her in the darkness and she must've caught me because she twitches her expression into this face :/
"Alicia-" I say worriedly, but I don't know what else to say.
"Alicia" I repeat, and I'm scared now.
She leads me upstairs, normally they'd lead me downstairs into the same, big, white room- she takes me upstairs and into a room that's pitch black. She finds my hand in the dark and leads me through, "Look" she whispers, I'm confused but then I realise that we're not here so I can be put in an isolated room again, we're here to watch Steph in her own isolated room.
My throat is dry and my words come out messed up, the best I could do was whisper "Steph".
I'm crying again, I'm watching Steph hug her knees as she's lying on the floor, she's crying and I can tell she's biting her lip because it's bleeding again, the stitches are gone (she must've pulled them out herself because she was meant to go to the hospital to have then removed in a week from now) they've made her wear a white tank top and black shorts, even though it's the middle of winter.
But she's not hugging her knees because she's cold, no. She's doing it because she's scared and I know exactly how she feels.
"She hasn't eaten or slept or spoke to anyone at all since they brought her in" it's Mikey's voice and the sound of it in the darkness makes me jump.
"She can't talk to anyone, she-"
"If you know something we don't, you better start talking" Frank says, appearing from a corner somewhere.
"She hasn't had anything to eat or drink or anything?" Gerard shakes his long blonde hair and it's glowing in the darkness, "Nothing" he tells me;
"She has anxiety disorders, she needs to take Alprazolam, Valium and Prozac and she takes iron tablets because her bones are weak and Codeine because she's an insomniac and she can't fall asleep without listening to music even after taking codeine. Frank, look at her! We have to help her! We have to get her out of here!"
It's the first thing I've said in a long time and it's the most meaningful;
They all look at me amazed, Frank nods his head and a doctor appears in Steph's isolated room.

Three stories of lavish Italianate beauty with breathtaking ocean and golf course views await you at Florence by the Sea, our home across the street from the beach in Ocean Hammock. With every luxury from a pool to an elevator, it's a dream vacation home.
Boasting more than 5,000 square feet, Florence by the Sea is ideal for large groups, family reunions, or just a big family ready to spread out and get comfortable. The elevator makes it accessible for everyone, so it's a good choice for a multi-generational vacation. Ocean Hammock Resort is a family friendly, gated beach community. The world-renowned Ocean Hammock Golf Course winds through the neighborhood, affording spectacular views. There's something for everyone here!
Your favorite part of Florence by the Sea is probably going to be the giant atrium-ceiling lanai, located off the rear of the house for even greater privacy. Enclosed in this vast space is a lovely swimming pool with an adjacent Jacuzzi to massage those golf-sore muscles! There's also a full summer kitchen, with a state-of-the-art grill and plenty of room for seating and poolside play. Just wait until you find yourself floating in the pool, gazing up at the vast blue Florida sky with a cold drink close at hand! Stress and everyday cares just melt away here!
Step inside from the lanai and you find yourself in our family room, one of two living areas designed for a crowd. Here you'll find a huge HDTV, wet bar, ultra-comfortable sofas and chairs, stereo system with Surround Sound (this is available throughout the house), cool tile floors, and plantation shutters on the many windows. After a long day at the beach, the family room is like an oasis! Make yourself a drink, put up your feet, and enjoy the game or your favorite show.
The second big living area is upstairs. Our great room is filled with windows and surrounded by balconies, and boasts a huge fireplace in addition to another entertainment center with HDTV and all the trimmings. And if you need more space, Florence by the Sea has a spacious office!
One of the best features of Florence by the Sea is the kitchen, which is adjacent to the great room. Beyond the long granite countertop and breakfast bar, you'll find Sub Zero appliances, a central island, custom cabinetry, and all manner of appliances and equipment. You can prepare a feast for 20 in here without going short a single fork! The dining room awaits formal meals, while a sun-filled breakfast nook does everyday duty as a lovely place to sip that first cup of coffee, update your Facebook status (you have free wireless Internet at Florence by the Sea), and plan another perfect Palm Coast day.
Even more important than the kitchen are the bedrooms, and you will simply love the arrangements here at Florence by the Sea. There are 6 bedrooms, 3 with en suite bathrooms, including a 1st-floor room right off the lanai that is great for those with accessibility issues (10 steps to the pool for water therapy!).
The master suite includes a large living area with a couch and chairs, a king-size bed, a long bank of windows, and a balcony with panoramic views. The en suite bathroom offers his-and-her vanities, a walk-in shower, and a deep tub. This is an area made for late nights and long mornings! It is a haven, and only the promise of another great day in the pool, on the course, or at the beach will lure you from it!
The 2nd bedroom contains a king bed, with an en suite bathroom including a walk-in shower, while the 3rd, 5th & 6th bedrooms have queen beds. The 4th bedroom contains a bunk bed with two doubles (sleeps up to 4 kids). There are also 2 brand new queen sleeper sofa beds. All are spacious and pleasant, with all linens provided. Oh -- did we mention the full-size laundry room in this house?! And, 2 garages for extra parking or storage.
With handsome landscape and even a private walkway almost outside the front door to lead you down to the beach, Florence by the Sea simply has it all.

New Research from Pew on AI, Robotics, and the Future of Jobs
By Jacob Morgan on August 15, 2014
There's an ongoing debate around whether technology, AI, and Robotics will displace more jobs than it creates or create more jobs than it displaces. The latest research from Pew tries to help answer that question by surveying around 1,900 experts. Not surprisingly the results were close. 48% say scenario one is more likely (more jobs […]

Should Facebook Get Into the Employee Collaboration Space?
By Jacob Morgan on June 26, 2014
An article in Techcrunch yesterday says that Facebook may be working on using their platform for internal collaboration.

Why We Don't Need Offices

Sorry I've been a professional programmer for over 10 years and your argument is simply ludicrous.
Some things are easier to change than others, an extension of this capability to race and faction would be absolutely trivial by comparison to the effort of creating new content.
Additionally profits are weighed in more than the flat subscription rate and incidental fees. You have to consider the volume of the people using those services to come up with an expectation of income. If services attract more customers (without raising the flat incident fee) then the additional revenue can exceed the development costs and individual customers do not have to pay any extra.

When's the Honeymoon?
- Tuesday, February 03, 2004
Starting a Stepfamily can quickly turn into chaos.
I will not do it wrong again. This time I know what was missing, and I know what my children and I need in a marriage. This time I will do it right, and my next marriage will last a lifetime.
Fact: The divorce rate for 2nd marriages exceeds the divorce rate for 1st marriages
Fact: Remarried couples with children are twice as likely to divorce than remarried couples with out children
Most marriages begin with some type of honeymoon. Even if the couple doesn't go somewhere exotic, there is almost always a period of time filled with fun, attention, excitement, and consideration. However, marriages that blend existing families can prove to be quite different.
Many couples begin these marriages with unrealistic expectations like the ones listed above. Let's step back and look at their courtship. At first, the courtship with their new friend goes along well for both them and their children. The kids profess to like the new friend, and all seems well when everyone is together. Although it is not uncommon for children of divorced parents to resist new relationships, most are open to someone new, as long as the adults remain in the dating stage. However, let the relationship turn serious and things can quickly change.
Most parents are caught off guard by their children's reaction to this change. By this time most divorced parents have not only put their past marriage behind them, but also their past mate. Unfortunately many parents fail to take into consideration the secret wish of not only their children, but of almost all divorced children. And that is the wish that their biological parents will someday reunite. Actually, it is not unusual for therapists to council adult children who still express the same wish many years after their parents have divorced.
Once the marriage takes place, it is common to see stepfamilies explode. Multiple unexpected issues begin to surface, and surface quickly. Problems with territory, and fairness most often top the list. New members of the family are now sharing bedrooms, bathrooms, televisions and telephones that were once private territory. Time with the live-in parent that was private and uninterrupted becomes rare or hard to get. Rules imposed by new members of the family highlight issues of fairness and change, creating resentment and defiance from the children. The list goes on as often, even small changes like a different menu can cause problems. Schedules change, attention changes, along with freedom, and responsibilities around the home. If these problems were not addressed before the marriage, they will certainly be addressed quickly after the marriage begins, and guaranteed, it's no honeymoon.
Children can become very powerful and play major roles in the upheaval experienced in the home. They will play parents against each other, become defiant toward the stepparent, fight with their stepsiblings, and manipulate situations that force parents into confrontation or arguments. The age of the child plays a big part in how these problems will appear. Younger children will use "space" as a means of interference. In other words, they will physically get between you and your new spouse. Sometimes they will act sick or use other methods to draw the attention of their real Mom or Dad. This will be most visible when you and your mate are having time together. Older children are more obvious and combative. They use their independence and intelligence to manipulate and cause difficult problems, sometimes-serious problems between family members.

French strikes force petrol stations to shut
About 1,500 petrol stations in France have run dry or are about to close as fuel supplies are hit by strikes over government pension reforms, officials say.
A blockade of oil refineries has lasted a week and the body that supplies most supermarkets says one in four petrol stations is affected.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has called a crisis cabinet to protect supplies.
He told reporters that the reforms were "essential" and would be carried out.
The exact number of France's 12,000 petrol stations affected by the strikes is unclear, but oil company Exxon Mobil has described the situation as "critical".
A spokeswoman said that anyone looking for diesel around Paris or in the western area of Nantes would face problems.
Severe shortages have been reported in Brittany in north-west France and the International Energy Agency says that France has begun tapping into its emergency oil reserves.
Workers at France's 12 oil refineries have been on strike for a week and entrances to many of the country's fuel distribution depots have been blocked.
At the scene
These could be the defining few days of Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency.
He was elected to fix the economy and the pension reform bill is the key element of his reform programme. If it sinks, so does his credibility.
Wherever you look around the country the crisis is growing and all the momentum is behind the unions.
All the signs are that things are deteriorating by the hour. And, on top of it all, problems have been reported in suburbs of Paris.
Police fired tear gas in two areas of the city on Monday, Nanterre and Combs-La-Ville, where massed youths had vandalised bus stops and set fire to cars.
Riot police are on orders to be careful not to antagonise an already volatile situation.
Panic-buying was blamed for a 50% increase in fuel sales last week.
The head of the Leclerc chain of supermarkets, Michel Edouard Leclerc, warned that at the current rate his company's petrol stations would be empty within two to three days if the blockade of refineries remained and fuel imports were paralysed.
Strike action against the government's reform plans is being ramped up, with lorry drivers starting the week by staging a go-slow on motorways around several major cities including Paris, Lille and Lyon.
A further day of strikes is scheduled for Tuesday, on the eve of a key Senate vote on the pensions bill.
Half of all flights to and from Paris's Orly airport and one in three flights at other airports are being cancelled, according to aviation officials.
Airport operator ADP said there were already some delays at the capital's largest airport, Charles De Gaulle, on Monday because of strikes by oil workers.
Street protests have been planned in a number of cities and disruption is also expected on public transport and in schools.
The government wants to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 and the full state pension age from 65 to 67.
Burning cars
There were already demonstrations outside 261 schools on Monday, which the education ministry said had been blockaded.
In the western suburb of Nanterre in Paris, dozens of students clashed with riot police who fired rubber bullets.
Shop windows were reported broken in the Saint-Denis suburb, where education officials said more than half the areas secondary schools had been blockaded.
In Lyon, several cars were burned and one teacher whose car was badly damaged by fire complained: "They want to fight [against the pension reform]. OK, but they have to understand the meaning of what they are doing".
In other developments:
- Outside the Grandpuits refinery, east of Paris, strikers burned tyres in defiance of a government order that the facility should be reopened.
- In some cities, such as Toulouse (south-west) or Saint-Etienne (centre), public transport depots were blocked on Monday morning, preventing buses and tramways from operating for several hours.
- Rail traffic was being disrupted with one in two fast TGV trains running, and one in three normal-speed trains running.
- Although the Eurostar train service between Paris and London is normal, there is no Eurostar service between Brussels and London on Monday due to a strike in Belgium.
- A key fuel pipeline that supplies the two airports in Paris has been restored, but the civil aviation authority is warning airlines operating at Charles de Gaulle to arrive with enough fuel to make the return journeys.
Crisis cabinet
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has ordered key ministers to form a crisis cabinet with the role of ensuring the continuity of fuel supplies.

End Quote Christian Estrosi Industry Minister
The government is in control. There will be no blockade for companies, no blockade for transport and no blockade for road users"
Three departments are being charged with coordinating the state's services to maintain the supply: the interior and economy ministries as well as the energy and environment department.
Prime Minister Francois Fillon has insisted he will not allow the refinery strikes to hit the French economy.
Several other figures have said the country is not at risk of fuel shortages.
"The government is in control," Industry Minister Christian Estrosi told French radio on Monday.
"There will be no blockade for companies, no blockade for transport and no blockade for road users."
The head of the French Petrol Industries Association, Jean-Louis Schilansky, has said fuel shortages are not yet at crisis point.
"If the lorry drivers go on strike, if people block the refineries, then we will have a very big problem. But we're not at that stage yet," he said.
France has a strategic fuel reserve which holds up to three months of supplies, the government says.Public support
Pension protest numbers
- Saturday 16 October: 825,000 (police) - 2.5 million - 3 million (unions)
- Tuesday 12 October: 1.2 million - 3.5 million
- Saturday 2 October: 899.000 - 3 million
- Thursday 23 September: 997,000 - 3 million
- Tuesday 7 September: 1.2 million - 2.7 million
According to the latest opinion polls, more than 70% of French people continue to support strike action.
On Saturday, a fifth day of protests brought 825,000 people on to the streets, police said, although unions put the figure at 2.5 million to three million.
The pension reforms have already been approved by the National Assembly, the lower house of the French parliament.
The upper house, the Senate, has endorsed the key articles on raising the retirement age, and is due to vote on the full text on Wednesday.

The Leafs will play playoffs games in HD for the first time in franchise history.
— @bruce_arthur
"Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave"
— America
A lot can change in two decades. 21 years ago the Soviet Union broke up and the United States was led by President George H. W. Bush. Microsoft released MS Dos 5.0 and Tim Berners-Lee introduced the web browser. It was also the year of Rodney King, Nirvana Nevermind and The Silence of the Lambs. Do you know what hasn't changed in the past two decades? The Detroit Red Wings in the NHL playoffs.
For 21 consecutive years the Red Wings have earned a chance to compete in the playoffs. The pinnacle of consistency. The next-longest active streak in the NHL belongs to the Shark's string of seven years. How about when compared to the other major sports. In the NBA the Spurs have been to the playoffs for the past 14 years. In the MLB the Phillies are tops with five years in a row. And in the NFL where parity is king the Baltimore Ravens own the longest streak with four trips to the post season.
It's amazing to consider — 21 straight playoff berths. Detroit has been dominant. During this run the Red Wings have won 14 division titles, six Presidents' Trophies, six conference championships and four Stanley Cups.
Earlier this week was the anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. It was February 22, 1980 when the scrappy USA team beat the USSR 4-3 in Lake Placid, New York. In 2010, the 30th anniversary of the event, Joe Posnanski wrote about some little known facts concerning the hockey game. Facts like how the game was not broadcast live, people viewing from their home were on a tape delay. Posnanski also uncovered some interesting tidbits about Al Michaels and his signature line:
"Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"
It was a perfect call. Goosebumps. It's further heightened by the fact that it's followed by a minute of crowd noise. The next thing Michaels says is, "No words necessary just pictures." Damn, he's good. Here's what's interesting, we almost didn't get this line. Michaels said that if he had thought of the line before the moment it happened he never would have used it. It was a spur of the moment thing, it just came out.
I'm not writing anything you haven't read elsewhere. The world of sports as we know it cannot continue to travel on it's current trajectory. Cannot and should not. How should we fix it? I don't know, but we can all agree it mustn't be ignored.
You can't get away from the concussion discussion and debate. We have research teams like the ones at Boston University: Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy and reporters like the New York Times' John Branch to thank for that. I'm pretty late to the game (I blame the holiday season) but John has assimilated Punched Out, The Life and Death of a Hockey Enforcer. It's a fascinating three-part series on the life of Derek Boogaard, a 6' 7" - 245 lb NHL enforcer.
Punched Out
Over six months, The New York Times examined the life and death of the professional hockey player Derek Boogaard, who rose to fame as one of the sport's most feared fighters before dying at age 28 on May 13.
Just twenty-eight years old.
We normally post links like this on twitter and our facebook page but it just didn't seem fitting. I'd like to say something like "I hope John Branch's piece wins a journalistic award," but in reality we hope it does much more than that. It's going to be an impossible story to forget.
One the best parts of the new year is the NHL's Winter Classic. As far as I'm concerned the novelty of hockey played outdoors in a baseball stadium will never stale. And if it snows, well, then it's just that much better. Today's Winter Classic venue was Philadelphia's Citizen Bank Park. Everyone knows the dead serious level Philadelphia takes thier sports fandom. The Flyer's Ilya Bryzgalov knew how pluck these fans' heart strings by commissioning this spectacular piece of art which pays homage to Philly's sports history.
The airbrush design was handled by Pennsylvania's own Drummond Custom Airbrush. Franny Drummond was able to shoehorn Reggie White, Julius Erving, Mike Schmidt and Bobby Clarke. If you look hard enough you can also make out the old Veterans Stadium and the "HK" patch worn over the hearts on Phillies players in 2009 to honor the great play-by-play announcer, Harry Kalas. Right below the cage is the Philly Phanatic, which needed to be explained in detail to the Russian born Ilya Bryzgalov. Perhaps the finest detail is the pennant reading "Good Night and Good Hockey," the signature phrase used by the Flyers announcer, Gene Hart. Well done.
The teddy bear toss (new to me) has catapulted into my personal top five list of coolest fan traditions.
In case you're unaware of this annual rite, fans bring stuffed animals to the game and throw them on the ice when the home team scores its first goal. (Delay of game penalties have no home here.) The toys are collected and donated to local charity.
Seriously, seeing the teddy bears fly when the goal is scored is one of the best unique sights in hockey.

So many mustaches, so little time. We are already into the month of Movember or as our ancestors used to call it, November. If you aren't familiar with Movember you should take a few minutes to get acquainted with their gentlemanly website. And just in case you're in a rush here is a small sound bite from their FAQ section.
Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become a walking, talking billboards, for our men's health causes - specifically cancers affecting men.
Jonas Hiller of the Anaheim Ducks is a Man Bro in full support of Movember. Last year he was already owner of the NHL's coolest no nonsense goalie mask but this Movember he's stepped it up. His new cage features photos of his teammates with superimposed staches. I can't think of a better way to celebrate Mustache Tuesday, the dude is a man bro.

Graphic designer Mike Chuhon has created a beautiful set of minimalist NHL posters. Perfect timing as the NHL season kicks off this evening with Flyers at Bruins. Mike says both t-shirts and posters are in the works.
29 years ago today the club that is now known as the Devils settled in the state of New Jersey. To this day they remain the most underrated team name in all of American sports.
The franchise was officially named in 1982 by fan voting. The runner-up names were Blades, Meadowlanders, and the Americans. Let us thank our lucky stars that fan balloting wasn't fixed and none of these names were chosen. The name Devils might seem weak but there's history here.
There's a piece of a 1.1 million acre forest system in southern New Jersey that is named the Pine Barrens. It's the place where Paulie and Christopher took that dead Russian to in The Sopranos, except he wasn't dead yet. It's one of the best (if not the best) episodes of the series but what The Sopranos didn't delve into is how the Pine Barrens are said to be haunted by the Jersey Devil.
As legend has it the Jersey Devil was born human to "Mother Leeds". It was her 13th child and after birth it changed form and flew to the surrounding pines. When I was younger we would take family trips in the summer to my grandparent's place on the Jersey shore. On our way we would drive through the Pine Barrens. My grandfather would warn me to watch out for the Jersey Devil because if it took me into the Pine Barrens I would never find my way back out.
So there you have it. A hockey team named after a legendary creature that inhabits the unbelievably huge stretch of state woods that people are said to enter and never return. Pretty cool right? I feel like you could never do that today. Which is why we have team names like the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It's the coolest trophy in all of sports. Hands down. I'll listen to arguments about the boxing World Heavyweight Championship Boxing Belt and the Heisman Trophy but that's all I'll do. I'll just listen. There's no swaying me. The Stanley Cup is the best sports trophy by a wide margin.
A new Stanley Cup is not made every year. It's a trophy that the champion team keeps until the following one is crowned. The names of past winners (players, coaches and management) are engraved on the chalice. It travels the world, goes on late night talk shows and gets held out of hotel windows. It's been to the White House, strip clubs, churches and more strip clubs. It's been to the bottom of Mario Lemieux's swimming pool. It's used for drinking champagne and drinking cheap beer. It's baptized children, fed dogs and held BBQ. It's been beat up, dinged, dented, hugged and kissed.
And everywhere it goes it leaves a story.
Here's your Stanley Cup Final stat of the night. Game four of this series was Bobby Orr Night at TD Garden. Bobby Orr wore number four on his sweater and the Bruins wound up beating the Canucks 4-0.
Game three just happened to be Cam Neely night, who wore number eight. The Bruins cruised by the Canucks with a massive 8-1 victory. Tonight is Milt Schmidt night. Do you know what number he wore? 15. Yup, fifteen. And after only one period Boston leads 4-0. If history is any indication it's going to be a long night for Vancouver.
I wish I had more information about this surreal illustration. All I know is that it was done by Behance Network user N1ko and is part of his/her US Sports project.
I'd also advise you to check out N1ko's Anatomy project. The adjective that keeps coming to mind is explosive.
Ladies and gentlemen, now it's a series. And almost as important, there is finally some real animosity in this thing. Here's Bruisin' Brad Marchand celebrating in high-res.
Bruins fans, follow up last night's 8-1 domination by grabbing this excellent "We Want The Cup" shirt from Bottom Line Apparel. A crucial Game 4 hangs in the balance.

"I do not understand why our culture does this. Stop it, right now."
The reason our culture does this is because what is deemed offensive goes well beyond personal attacks.
For example, did you know that, in many places, discussing religion openly is offensive? It's true. It unnecessarily antagonizes athiests, agnostics, or anyone who may not subscribe to the particular beliefs of the religion being discussed.
Or perhaps you may be aware that discussing LGBT issues and legal rights is offensive, because many people have come to the spiritual conclusion that members of that community are at best, mentally ill, and at worst, a pox on humanity.
As someone who is both religious and LGBT, I acknowledge that people may not wish to hear what I may have to discuss in earnest, and I am not offended if they choose not to listen. But I am greatly bothered by those who seek to control what I can say, period, claiming that I am disseminating offensive speech.
So yes, I do think that in some cases, "being offended" is used as a cover for "controlling others." And that these are people who are indeed choosing to be offended, rather than allow an opposing viewpoint to have its say. We cannot merely make blanket statements about "offensive" speech like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

We had a really difficult afternoon yesterday drinking rum by the pool while DJs Huggs and Alf Alpha spun for a special poolside episode of DJ Day's ¡Reunión!, and Gas Lamp Killer and DJ Eleven joined Day in the Amigo Room for a packed party at night. Don't pity us. The air is perfect, hot pink flowers are spilling off the vines around the pool, and there are very happy people everywhere.
Artist and Texan Will Bryant, who we hung out with at SXSW, is our resident artist for the weekend, hand-painting signs and customizing Converse. He's got a new pair of sunglasses on. Drop him a compliment if you see him. Will and resident-wizard Belin Liu painted a big pair of sunglasses for Ray-Ban late last night in the Commune. Ray-ban is set up in the Commune with Levi's, where you can buy sunglasses and jeans, customize your denim yourself, or have a local artist customize for you, or visit Hit and Run - they're doing live screen-printing through the weekend. Plus Rudy's is giving free haircuts.

Any takers on the original question?
I'm just asking a theoretical question. I'm not asking for advice, I am asking for theory.
That's what I suspected for me - but I was asking this on a more theoretical level.
Is there a baseline that most people can't go under? Is there a science around this issue, perhaps?
My friend and I were discussing this issue a few days ago. A few questions about cardiovascular health:

2. Is...
