In other words, you want high unemployment for unskilled laborers. Most people don't seem to understand that the real minimum wage is $0. That's how much you earn when the minimum wage has priced you out of the job market. Couple that with recent reports about needing a bachelor's degree to get even low-skill jobs and soaring student loan debt, and you're looking at a major catastrophe for the lower & middle classes.

Making employers pay more for employees won't mean there's less work to do, and employers hire based off of how much work there is to do, not based on how much extra money they have in their pocket. You remove transportation costs and such. The economy won't suddenly implode when people make more money -- the worst that will happen is faster inflation, which really only hurts the rich if the minimum wage is tied to a decent metric.

evidence-based policy (Score:5, Interesting)
Imagine if any government spending had to be supported by evidence: show where there's a problem, propose a solution, incorporate a followup examination (sunset-like). No one likes Big Government, and mandating evidence-based policy would provide the only rational way to argue for "as big a government as we need". (IMO only nutcases fantasizing about the wild west are truly advocating "as small as possible".)
Think about it: there is a massive tax break for capital gains. Let's abolish it unless someone can set out its purpose (encourage investment), how much it costs (any tax break is a subsidy), and whether it's working (it encourages speculation-based capital appreciation like absurd stock prices, rather than the kind of investment which is productive.) Capital gains is also normally irrelevant to all but the "pretty rich" (let's guess that no one under $100k cares about it...)
Minimum wage is usually presented as humanitarian, dignity-based policy, but that shouldn't exempt it from _working_. is $14k a living wage? I think it largely depends on what you mean by "living" - where, how many people, do they have some form of health care/insurance, any kind of savings/retirement/pension? I guess that $14k isn't enough for a single person to live on, but how do you argue for a higher and/or inflation-adjusted number? We would need to know whether the current policy is working. Obviously, there are jobs that go undone, or go grey-market - does that argue that there should not be a minimum wage at all? Can we predict how wages would change in the absence of a MW? it seems unlikely that, for instance, anyone would start tipping 25% just because MW for servers was eliminated. What if we somehow made it easier for people to relocate to find jobs - would providing support for that make it possible to reduce support for MW? MW, like tax breaks, is a subsidy of low-earning workers by those at the same company who earn more - even if you buy the "dignity" argument, that interpretation is not very appealing...

Buy a house for $200K, sell it for $300K years later would be $100K in capitol gains. Many people who are not "pretty rich" do that. Then there are 401K's, Small stock portfolios, etc.
The IRS has a capital gains exemption for ordinary people selling their main / residential home (as opposed to investors in the business of flipping houses).
Basically, if you've lived in your home for at least two of the five years prior to the sale, you can claim a $250,000 capital gains exemption ($500,000 if you are married and file a joint return). In your example, the $100K capital gains would be tax free.
"Evidence-based policy" only makes sense insofar as you follow ethical constraints. Otherwise, if someone showed you evidence that (say) slavery was good for the economy, then you would be required to implement slavery, according to your policy. The more important question then is how do we determine what the ethical constraints are (for example, is it OK to steal in order to implement a policy that shows "better outcomes", or is it OK to initiate force? Etc.)

No more "piecework" to get around minimum wage laws. Not more unpaid overtime. You work, you get paid at least 7.25 per hour for it or your employer goes to fucking jail.
Second, we also need a maximum wage to go along with it. And don't think I count as one of those "hate the rich" types - I'd accept something still pretty obscene, like 100x the minimum wage - A "mere" 1.5M per year. Can't live on that? Cry me a river and move aside for someone who will appreciate a higher standard of living than most historical kings and emperors enjoyed.
I would also add a 2.5th need - We need, perhaps more even than the first two, a maximum number of hours. We need to make it absolutely unwaveringly illegal to have an employee work more than 40 hours (and I'd actually prefer we make it less than that - I've always thought we should get Wednesdays off, nothing good happens on Wednesday), no exceptions. If you can't get all the work you have done in 40 hours, you need to hire someone else, period. We have a society of people living shorter than our grandparents, partly because of how we eat but partly because we literally work ourselves to death. This amounts to a public health crisis, not just a way to save a few bucks by deliberately understaffing and expecting people to pick up the slack.

According to this graph [uoregon.edu] life expectancy in the US had gone up by 10% in the last 30 years. We are living longer not shorter.
AFAIK, the biggest problem with U.S. minimum wage policy is that cost of living is highly variable by region, and the minimum wage is an attempt to set a reasonable standard of living by wage constraints at the federal level for the entire country. For some high-cost areas, which still need menial laborers until our robot overlords take over, that makes the minimum wage a farce, and also makes it just as important to consider issues like housing costs. Employers and regional authorities need to work together to solve that problem, and the federal law just gets in the way, despite what your stumping representative may claim, at that point. It should never have been handled at the federal level. It is like lipstick on a pig, ignoring serious problems and attempting a cosmetic fix, at the federal level.
Regions that handle this problem in earnest, and in concert with all the people involved including the employers, do much better and would have more flexibility without the officiousness of the federal bureaucracy, whose efforts don't really improve quality of life.
And what we're really talking about is the minimum acceptable quality of life in an industrialized nation, for a productive worker, not a minimum wage. What difference does it make what a worker makes as a minimum wage if he has to make a 2 hour commute from his satellite suburban hell to Shangri-la in a busted up unsafe car, because he can't afford to live nearer, and can't take nonexistent public transportation, and then gets bankrupted by medical bills when his brakes go out and he survives a cartwheeling car crash on a broken highway? We need to pay for transport, housing, and quality of life and medical care and stop trying to fix it with a numerical band-aid that makes politicians and their naive constituencies feel better.
Most of the problems are regional, and a lot of them are infrastructure, so we'd be much better off solving it with block grants federally. If a region determines it needs a minimum wage, then that makes sense. At the federal level it's just "passing the buck," without passing any of the needed bucks.

Minimum wage is by definition not supposed to be a living wage. Minimum wage serves to protect against abusive employment practices and provides a mechanism for the young to enter the workforce at an entry level while limiting risk to the employer. We need a minimum wage to protect workers. That wage must be affordable to employers as well. We do not need to be concerned that the minimum wage is not a wage that can provide for a family, or even an individual. That is not it's purpose.

Why should it be illegal for someone to work for $X if they choose it? No one is being forced into labor, anyone can choose whatever job they want to apply for.
If you think you're worth $30 an hour, don't work for less than that! Refuse to work unless you get the wages you want, whether that is $30 an hour or $3 an hour, but no business will hire someone if they get paid more than what they are worth, they're not a charity. The minimum wage essentially removes the bottom rungs on the "corporate ladder" making it harder and harder for less skilled people to find employment. Since they can't find employment, they can't get the skills to move up so they end up unemployed.

The majority of voters here have indicated they believe the minimum wage should either be increased or be dynamically determined by market factors. Based on this I can only assume these individuals would then be content to work at the minimum wage - that is the absolute minimum that the government feels your time is worth. Is this how we are supposed to be living - aim low, race to zero, do the absolute minimum? I don't believe so. Even after several years in the workforce I'm still aways trying to figure out how to better my scenario - earn more, save more for retirement, and most importantly buy more beer and toys. I don't understand the interest in minimum wage. It worked for me for my first six weeks of employment ever, and at less than half of what the minimum wage is now. Six weeks later I had a job that paid a whopping five cents more per hour than minimum wage. It wasn't much, but I think it set me on a course where I was always looking for something better. Less than 10 years after that I was bringing home a living wage and earning 30% annual bonuses.
Abolish it. It has already been circumvented in ways that are destructive to the economy. Free trade agreements have taken millions of jobs to areas where the minimum wage does not apply. However, the products come back here so the only thing we've done is lose the value-add economic activity.
We have also imported somewhere between ten and twenty million illegal immigrants to work below the minimum wage. The so called "jobs that USians won't do" are just a supply and demand issue that would put upward pressure on wages. Importing illegal immigrants to do those jobs keeps the wages and prices artificially low. It makes for cheaper food, construction, baby-sitting, etc. but comes back to bite us in education, healthcare and other parts of the economy.
Create a sensible trade and immigration policy, stop the Federal government and Federal Reserve from destroying the purchasing power of the currency through renegade credit expansion, get rid of welfare for the able-bodied and abolish the minimum wage. Everyone (except bankers and government employees) would be better off.
The idea that we have millions of unemployed people and welfare recipients being supported by government borrowing at the same time businesses complain that they have jobs they can only fill with black market labor is insane.

40 people were given a single slice of apple and water
20 people were given a serving of ham and potatoes, so 60 had been served
20 people were given a salad topped with blue cheese and vinaigrette and then salmon on rice with a side of broccoli, so 80 had been served.
10 people were given a large meal, with nuts and breads to start, then a salad, a couple of appetizers each, a large steak with potatoes on the side, a desert and cappuccino, and multiple glasses of wine throughout, so 90 had been served
5 people were given a dinner that they simply couldn't finish.. like the last one, but with 90 oz T-bone steak, a whole plate of mashed potatoes, a spread of fruits and cheeses and 2 or 3 deserts, so 95 had been served
4 people were given a full week's set of these really surpassing, 7-course meals, all arrayed nicely in front of them in a building crescendo of delights for the next 7 days, so that 99 had been served
And the last person, was given a month of these 7-course meals and it was not clear even how to get them back home.
So everyone had been served. Now imagine what these people talk about at dinner. Perhaps something like this?
"It's not fair that 40 people just got a slice of apple! Did you see those slices?! They're puny. We should give them a bigger slice of apple!"

Honestly, the one I enjoy the most is Guerlain Homme.
Mouchoir De Monsieur might just have the edge in terms of scent but I will go for Heritage for also having magnificent staying power and drydown. ( I haven't tried Derby though..)
Heritage EdP & Habit Rouge EdC
Formerly known as Inselaffe
Derby also growing on me.
Tough one, but.... HERITAGE!
Haven't tried as many Guerlain frags as I would like. That said, Vetiver Eau Glacee/Frozen takes the cake for me in terms of smell alone. Excellent vetiver/mint fragrance, I have smelled it once, and have not seen it since. But since this one is limited edition and so hard to find. I'll have to go with Shalimar.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Count me in the Derby camp (as evidenced by my wish list!). Personally it's not even close among Guerlain
WANTED (full or partial bottles)
Divine eau Divine (refillable)
Heritage EdP, but there are many right up there with it.
Want to add one of the most classic eau de cologne of all time: Eau de Guerlain
Vetiver Eau Glacee/Vetiver Frozen by Guerlain
Eau de Guerlain is certainly not a bad place to start.
There is no best for me, I wear several and a couple of my 'best' during summer are marketed as women's - Sous le Vent & Vetiver Pour Elle.
Derby is great, I would recommend it to any guy who wants to experience a restrained, versatile, classically styled masculine. In a similar vein, although 'warmer', I think Heritage is good stuff, and relatively easy to get hold of, as is L'Instant - both are far more interesting than a lot of mens releases in the same price range.
L'Ame d'un Heros is one that has grabbed me over the last couple of years - muted, almost melancholic.
Jicky & Mouchoir de Monsieur are great but would have most youngsters running for the hills, and Mitsouko & Vol de Nuit both have a gravitas that a lot of 'noir' stuff for guys currently being pumped out can only dream about it. Habit Rouge is another classic that comes in different iterations . . . that one's a whole other story (search out Scentemental's detailed overview if you can be bothered).
And it doesn't stop, either - Arsene Lupin is a very sophisticated take on leather from just a couple of years ago and this year's Songe d'un Bois d'Ete is very cool, it uses the same accord as Leather Oud in the base enhanced with a decent cedar all offset by a spiced opening that flies in the face of all the wannabe 'western' shots at oud that have become such a cliche. It actually smells masculine, exotic, modern, original and eminently wearable.
I would recommend any of the above (and others) as 'best' based on who was asking. I wear them all and I don't play favourites with the kids, kinda thing
Habit Rouge. Maybe LIDGE will surpass it once I get to know it better, I have only worn it twice. Almost wore it this morning and I wish I had.
For men: Heritage EDP & Habit Rouge EDT Legere.
Overall favourite: Spiriteuese Double Vanille.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Habit Rouge (EDC and EDT pre-2007)
Derby (the current version is great, but the one in the Habit Rouge-bottle - see above - is pure heaven)
Heritage EDP (vintage)
Vetiver (vintage, but the newest version is great, too)
Eau de Guerlain
Arsène Lupin (Dandy)
Tough! So I'll pick three: Mitsouko [EdP] / L'Instant Extreme [EdP] / L'Homme Extreme [EdP]
To me, the close combat is being so far between: Mouchoir de Monsieur, Vetiver and Habit Rouge, all being quite likely to qualify for the number one spot.
L'Instan, L'Homme, Heritage being honorable mentions.
After my hasty response about Derby, I want to add others (including unisex):
Habit Rouge (EDP and parfum)
Mouchoir de Monsieur
L'Heure Bleue
Apres L'Ondee
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Derby!!!! then LIDGE
With the disclaimer that I haven't tried Derby, all Guerlain's fragrances that are marketed as masculines strike me as very feminine. Is it possible that Guerlain doesn't know how to make a masculine, at least not a modern masculine?
LIDGE and Philtre d'Amour
For me right now, Habit Rouge EDP and Parfum....... sounds like I'd better try me some Derby!
Vintage Vetiver
Haven't smelled Derby in a long time but I do love the vintage Vetiver.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
I avail myself of Guerlain for eaux and civet. Eaux aren't really fragrances, and you specified 'men's' - so, Mouchoir de Monsieur.

Reviews for Cincinnati to Minneapolis (CVG-MSP)
"Uneventful, just the way I like it."
Flight from Cincinnati to Minneapolis
- Airline:
- Delta
- Round Trip
- Number of Stops:
- No stops
- Date of Flight:
- October 2010
- Seat Class:
- economy
My only complaint is that the seats are too small. I am 6'7" and unless they can find a bulk head seat I am squeezed in like a sardine. Fortunately they found me a bulk head on my return flight.
"Biar and switch--from non-stop to one stop and five hours late...."
Flight from Cincinnati to Minneapolis
- Airline:

- Number of Stops:
- 1 stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
- Date of Flight:
- June 2010
- Seat Class:
- economy
My initial leg went fairly well; only two hours late. This one was supposed to be in at 9:30 and I got in at 2:45. Missed an important meeting. No indication why we were late--they incicated that the plane was late in--I noticed that.
I paid through the nose for a non-stop. Two days before my return they notified my home computer [not my cell phone which they had] that this would be a one-stop. Good thing my wife was home. Two days before--interesting how they can predict mechanical problems that far in advance.
When I asked the clerk for the price of the one-stop, she actually laughed at me. Said that they did not do things like that.
Bait and switch is what I call it....

Stella, a great horned owl, began her career as Temple's live mascot in 2013. During home games, Stella can be found cheering on the sidelines of Lincoln Financial Field alongside Temple's official mascot, Hooter.
Though she's small—just 2 feet tall and only 3 pounds—Stella is a mighty predator, with an impressive 60-inch wingspan and talons capable of crushing prey with 300 pounds of force per square inch. She currently resides in the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Pa., where she also is a wildlife conservation teacher.
Stella originally hails from Utah. Her favorite foods include rodents, rabbits and snakes. When she's not at a game or teaching at the zoo, she enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, Sherlock, also a great horned owl.

SWANSBORO — Brenna Kate Grass remembers a play she didn't even see.
Well, sort of.
The Swansboro senior midfielder recalls not actually seeing her team's first goal in the 2010 NCHSAA 2-A championship game, a match the Pirates won 2-1 to capture their second consecutive title.
Grass was a freshman at the time.
"We scored like in the first minute of the game and that's the biggest thing I can remember," Grass said. "I didn't start. I turned around to sit down on the bench right after (the game started) and we scored. And I missed it because I was getting water or something like that.
"That's the biggest thing I can remember."
Grass said she will likely share her story with her younger teammates on the bus ride to N.C. State's Dail Soccer Stadium, site of today's state final against South Iredell.
"We usually tell them plays of the game that we can remember and how people scored," Grass said. "We have a lot of fun on the bus rides."
Meanwhile, senior midfielder Ashley Neal also remembers something about the 2010 match.
"How many people were there," she said. "It was like the whole town and everyone was there watching. It was a great feeling."
Nice run
Swansboro enters with a nine-game winning streak, which includes shutouts in each match during that stretch.
Following a 1-0 home loss to Northside on April 22, the Pirates were 13-5-1 overall and 7-2-1 in the East Central Conference before their run.
"I thought we played intimidated and scared to make mistakes," Swansboro coach Doug Kidd said. "And then after that, we seemed to put it all together. I think all the way around we started getting better, but defensively mainly."
Senior midfielder Julianna Tucker has also noticed a change in her team.
"It's never been a question that we have the talent," she said. "We've been able to tell since the summer. I think it was really mental more than anything when we were having trouble clicking. But we are peaking at the right time."
Soccer is fun
Swansboro junior midfielder Katie Causey was asked what she gets out of playing soccer, a sport she said she's been playing since she was a little child.
"I guess just the enjoyment out of playing," she said. "It definitely gets frustrating if you're not doing your best, but you just have to look at it in a positive way and pick yourself back up."
And then there are special moments Causey can recall while playing soccer.
"Honestly, my favorite game would probably be the game against Roanoke Rapids," said Causey, referring to the Pirates' 4-0 win Tuesday in the East Regional final. "Scoring my goal with an assist from Julianna is probably one of my favorite moments."
Streak intact
The Pirates advancing to the final marked the ninth consecutive year at least one girls' soccer team from Onslow County made it to the championship match.
During the streak, Swansboro has also made it in 2006, '09 and 2010, White Oak made it from 2005-09 and in 2012, Southwest advanced from 2010-12 and Dixon made it in 2008.
But it's all up to the Pirates now to bring home a state title this year for Onslow County.
"I know that a lot of teams are rooting for us," Neal said. "We just have to come into it ready to play."
And for the record, Swansboro won in its previous three trips to the final.
White Oak won titles from 2006-09, Southwest won in 2010 and 2012 and Dixon was a winner in its trip.
Good group …
South Iredell coach David Basinger said that while his team is talented, skill level alone isn't the reason the Vikings are in the title game for the first time in program history.
"From top to bottom, this group works really hard and has class character across the field," he said. "A good coach can come in here and would love to work with this group. All of them are Honor Society, class president. It's an easy job when you have great soccer IQ to work with."
… And yet
Still, Basinger isn't sure what to expect come game time.
"I don't know how we are going to match up with Swansboro," he said. "I'm hearing from other coaches that at least this will be a decent game to watch. Their style of play and our style are very comparable."

State and federal laws exist which prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities, including cancers, California having one of the strongest laws in the nation. Further, federal law has recently expanded to include anti-discrimination laws based upon one's genetic history with legislation known as GINA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, signed into law by President George W. Bush. It is the first act of federal legislation to protect individuals from discrimination. Though imperfect, it is a start to resolve issues with insurance companies and employees which create barriers toward testing.
The basic rule is unless one actually has contracted a cancer, discrimination is prohibited by all except for life insurance companies, disability insurance carriers, long termed insurance carriers and the United States military.
There is no protection for individuals who have contracted a cancer, under GINA, however ADA laws may apply for discrimination in the workplace.
Information on current federal anti-discrimination genetic information laws.

Reports on Genetic Discrimination
If you have questions regarding discrimination or sustain difficulties with insurance companies and coverage, there is help through the Cancer Legal Resource Center in Los Angeles.
The Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) is a national, joint program of the Disability Rights Legal Center and Loyola Law School Los Angeles. The CLRC provides free and confidential information and resources on cancer-related legal issues to cancer survivors, caregivers, health care professionals, employers, and others coping with cancer.
A cancer diagnosis can carry with it a variety of legal issues, including insurance coverage, employment discrimination, access to health care, and estate planning. These legal issues can cause people unnecessary worry, confusion, and stress, and can be overwhelming. When these legal issues are not addressed, people may find that although they have gotten through treatment, they have lost their homes, jobs or insurance.
The CLRC has a national, toll-free Telephone Assistance Line (866-THE-CLRC) where callers can receive free and confidential information about relevant laws and resources for their particular situation. Members of the CLRC's Professional Panel of volunteer attorneys, insurance agents, and accountants can provide more in-depth information and counsel to CLRC callers.

Ownership groups have been in place all the time. But Shinn never wanted to sell. More than once alternative owners were ready to buy the team. There will always be an ownership group ready to buy Shinn, we all know that.Originally posted by say-what
I agree Charlotte is desperate, but if Charlotte put him up to this and that's the reason they put him up to making an offer, it says more about Charlotte than I care to know. Why weren't they courting him earlier before the despiration set in and the NBA first got involved in trying to solve this mess and help Charlotte come up with an ownership group over a year ago.

Denver Nuggets (9-6) at Toronto Raptors (6-9), 1 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Denver Nuggets will take their season-high five-game winning streak to the east coast when they open a six-game trip Sunday afternoon against the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.
The Nuggets made it five wins in a row with Friday's 97-95 edging of the lowly New York Knicks, as Randy Foye finished with 17 points and defended Carmelo Anthony's 14-foot turnaround jumper with 2.1 seconds left.
"Much respect to Carmelo, but at the end of the game, I realize we're fighting for our lives," Foye told NBA.com. "I'm just saying to myself, 'I'm going to make him take a tough shot, no matter what.' If he makes it over me with a hand up, I can live with it. But I can't live with giving him an easy shot, just because he's Carmelo."
Ty Lawson led Denver with 22 points, Nate Robinson netted 16 off the bench and both Wilson Chandler and J.J. Hickson scored 13 points. Hickson also grabbed a game-best 11 rebounds for the Nuggets, who shot 43.7 percent, but struggled from 3-point range (9-of-24).
Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried left the game in the third quarter with a contusion of his quadriceps and had four points and six rebounds. The Nuggets hope Faried will be able to make the trip and he is questionable Sunday.
Lawson has scored 10 or more points in all 15 of his games for the Nuggets, who are 9-3 since an 0-3 start. A six-game winning streak at home has helped.
Denver has won back-to-back road games and will also visit Brooklyn, Cleveland, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington on the trek. Denver is 3-4 outside the Rockies this season.
Meanwhile, the Raptors will close out a four-game homestand Sunday and are 1-2 on the residency following Friday's 90-83 loss to the two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat. LeBron James led the Heat with 27 points.
DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points to lead the hosts and Rudy Gay ended with 21 and 11 rebounds. Kyle Lowry posted 15 points for a squad that committed 21 turnovers, leading to 26 Miami points. Toronto shot 38.4 percent and made only eight of its 30 3-point attempts.
The Raptors struggled at the foul line, too, making 19-of-32.
"Free throws, that was the story," said Raptors forward Tyler Hansbrough. "We have to do a better job, myself included."
After Toronto, which is 3-5 up north, hosts the Nuggets, it will head west for three games against Golden State, Phoenix and the Los Angeles Lakers.
DeRozan leads the NBA in scoring with 28.0 points since November 15 and is averaging 23.4 ppg at home. Gay is posting an average of 19.0 ppg in his previous five and has at least one block in eight games in a row.
Sunday's game between Toronto and Denver is the first of two this season. The Nuggets will host the Raptors on Jan. 31 and both teams split two meetings in 2012-13.
The Nuggets have won 10 of 12 and 15 of the past 18 matchups with Toronto.

Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck said law enforcement always struggles to keep pace with the technology that child predators use. But, he said a donation of a new computer and software would give authorities a small advantage in catching online culprits.
The Safe Surfin' Foundation, Moose International, and Moose Lodge 2194 in Newport collaborated in the "Cop in a Box" program to purchase $4,000 worth of computer equipment and software to enable the Carteret Sheriff's Office to target child predators.
Buck said predators use online chat rooms to engage youth and can download and share child pornography on the Internet.
Sheriff Mike Brown, of Bedford County, Va., a member of the Safe Surfin' Foundation, said the kit is one of about 50 that have been given to local law enforcement agencies in North Carolina in the last year and a half.
Buck said his office would work closely with the State Bureau of Investigation and its Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
"Carteret County now, with this new technology and an investigator assigned, will assist us in these investigations and prosecutions," Buck said.
Craven County and the New Bern Police Department already have an officer working on child predators. Havelock police have received similar computer and software help from the Moose Lodge in Havelock.
"In Craven County, just within the last couple of weeks, the sheriff's department there has charged a person from out of the county, somebody in the triangle, with communicating with an underage person by the Internet, and we have a pending charge there," Buck said.
Buck said that software on the computer helps authorities identify sexual predators.
"It works in chat rooms," he said. "It will help us trace back from the victim's computer to the actual offender, so they can be located. Often times the offender is not local. They're not within a two- or three-county range. Sometimes they are in another part of North Carolina. Sometimes we have even had them from out of state."
District Attorney Scott Thomas said the computers and software would help authorities identify, investigate and prosecute child sex predators.
"Predators use technology and it helps us as we build strong cases to have the technology to be able to build strong cases and prove those cases in court," he said. "The ultimate goal is to get a good strong conviction and then a severe sentence and punishment."
Brown said an estimated 88 to 90 million children use the Internet.
"Lord only knows how many sexual predators there are," he said. "What these sexual predators do to our children is beyond belief."
Brown said he realizes not every sexual predator can be caught but the new technology would allow authorities to at least catch some of them.
"Less predators equals less victims," he said.
Brown said technology that allows for computerized forms of communication is a great benefit to society, but the misuse of it by sexual predators is a down side.
"It's become a national issue," he said. "It's become a blight on our society."
Brown said that there may be as many as five to 10 victims for each child predator.
"The community needs to hear about it," Brown said. "A lot of people don't realize what is happening to kids. Many are being brutally raped and killed. It's a dangerous, dangerous arena."

|Family Advisory Council Seeks Parents and Teen Patients to Share Time & Unique Viewpoint
Nine Tuesdays each year, the parents and teen members of All Children's Family Advisory Council meet with hospital leaders for a light dinner and roundtable discussion.
They volunteer their time and perspective to help enhance the patient experience at the 259-bed hospital and its outpatient facilities. They share praise, constructive criticism, challenging moments and the small gesture that helped them get through an especially trying time.
In addition to the parents and teens, the Family Advisory Council roster includes leaders from many All Children's divisions: nursing, integrated care, support services/supply chain, medical staff, quality resources, and communications. They listen and learn, at times offering the perspective of someone who's usually on the other side of the crib, bed or desk, and later on they share comments and suggestions with colleagues.
"The Family Advisory Council has a great deal to contribute to our mission of patient- and family-centered care," says Hella Ewing, RN, MSM, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer. "Their input gives a greater voice to patients and families overall and helps us to provide the best possible care through our model of patient- and family-centered care."
The FAC was created in 2008 to promote family-centered care and to increase the staff's understanding of the emotional, cultural, and spiritual needs of patients and families as part of a comprehensive approach to care. The Council provides feedback on policies, signage, forms, parking and other day-to-day elements of a hospital stay—even testing out new models of furnishings being considered for inpatient rooms.
The FAC has championed several projects. A few years ago, members worked directly with doctors and residents to launch Family-Centered Rounds on the hospital's 8th floor Pediatric Medicine Unit. Parents and children took part in training sessions with resident physicians, helping them feel comfortable in more open discussion of the patient's progress and care plan.
"It makes me proud to know that the staff has not only listened to my family's feedback regarding our daughters' hospitalizations, but has acted upon our suggestions to improve the overall experience and quality of care provided to patients and their respective families."
More recently, several members starred in a brief video explaining Family-Centered Rounds to parents and patients. When a patient is admitted to ACH for the first time, the video is required viewing on the GetWellNetwork, an in-room education and entertainment system.
"In a follow-up survey on our Pediatric Medicine Unit we found that 93 percent of families chose to take part in Family-Centered Rounds and 96 percent agreed that the video helped with their participation," noted Cindy Driscoll, RN, BSN, MSHCA, Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and co-chair of the FAC.
Other FAC initiatives have included:
Mike Petagna of St. Petersburg currently co-chairs the FAC. He and his wife, Jenny, have twice been NICU parents—in the "old hospital" with their firstborn, and in the new All Children's facility that opened in 2010 with their second child.
"It makes me proud to know that the staff has not only listened to my family's feedback regarding our daughters' hospitalizations, but has acted upon our suggestions to improve the overall experience and quality of care provided to patients and their respective families," he says. "I encourage other families to participate in this worthwhile effort."
Parents and teen patients (ages 13-18) are encouraged to apply throughout the year to serve on the FAC. The Council tries to include families of children with a range of medical conditions who have experienced care on one or more inpatient units and/or frequently use outpatient services.
Please visit www.alllkids.org/fac to complete an application or send a question to the Council.
From September through June, meetings are held at the hospital on the third Tuesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m.—with a break in December for the busy holiday season.

Arnesen pitches gem as Warriors beat Timberwolves
Left-hander allows six hits in Edmonds-Woddway's 2-1 victory
All Arnesen did was shut down an offense that ran wild the day before.
The Edmonds-Woodway High School pitcher tossed a six-hitter, leading the Warriors to a 2-1 victory over the Jackson Timberwolves on Wednesday afternoon in Wesco 4A North baseball action.
Jackson thrashed Edmonds-Woodway on Tuesday, winning 11-0 with the game ending after five innings because of the mercy rule.
But Arnesen carved up a Jackson lineup that pounded the Warriors the previous day. And he knew, as the pitcher, it was his responsibility to respond to Tuesday's result.
"After that game we had to come back," Arnesen said. "We're not going to lose two out of the three games, so we had to come out and be the ones on top.
"I really thought about it at school, we got here early today to take some (batting practice), and we held together as a team. It was nice."
It was a crucial performance for Edmonds-Woodway (6-2 league, 9-4 overall), which evened the series at one game apiece. The rubber game is Friday at Jackson.
"It was a great game," Edmonds-Woodway coach Dan Somoza said. "A 2-1 game with Jackson is always a fun and exciting game. (Tuesday) Jackson just came out and hit and put it to us. But I'm glad with the way our guys responded back after getting 10 runned."
Mac McLachlan and Alex Hull doubled to lead Edmonds-Woodway's offense.
Joakim Soderqvist tripled and Alek Baumgartner had two hits for Jackson (5-3, 7-4). Pitchers Tyler Wingert and Joris Beasley combined to limit the Warriors to four hits.
"It was a good baseball game," Jackson coach Kirk Nicholson said. "I thought guys did some things well, pitchers got into some troubles and got out of them. It was a 2-1 baseball game, I've got no complaints. I thought my kids competed. We left six guys in scoring position, but I'm not saying that's on us, their pitcher is pretty good."
Arnesen wasn't perfect Wednesday, but he came up with big pitches when he needed them. The left-hander continually dropped his breaking ball over the plate for strikes, finishing with five strikeouts during his seven innings. He also worked out of several jams, including escaping the top of the first inning unscathed after the T-wolves loaded the bases.
"I really found my curveball and I was able to control it," Arnesen said. "There were a few games I wasn't able to, but I've been really working on it. I've been able to get it down."
Edmonds-Woodway gave Arnesen all the runs he needed in the bottom of the first inning. Jackson had just been denied in the top of the first when Arnesen struck out Alec Kisena with the bases loaded. Then when the Warriors loaded the bases in the bottom of the first, McLachlan made the T-wolves pay. With one out, McLachlan ripped a double to the wall in left-center, plating two runs to stake Edmonds-Woodway to a 2-0 lead.
Jackson got one run back in the third. Soderqvist led off by putting a deep fly off the wall in right for a triple. He scored on Conor Plaisance's groundout to short to make it 2-1.
The T-wolves continued to threaten, putting runners at third each of the next two innings. But Arnesen got himself out of trouble both times, ending the fourth with a groundout and the fifth with a strikeout. Those were Jackson's last chances as Arnesen faced the minimum six batters in the final two frames to polish off the victory.

Retreat is a time to dive into what you are truly most interested in. It is a time to ask what is your deepest, most heartfelt desire that is in alignment with what life wants. What is it that you truly want above everything else? This is the longing that is calling you above all other tendencies in your life. Retreat is your time to uncompromisingly be with this deep desire, nourishing and opening to its call.
Your heart's desire is an invitation from beyond that is welcoming you into your deepest essence of well-being and authentic aliveness. It is the door that opens you into the unexpected, into astonishment, wonder, joy, and deep peace.
It's rare during our daily life that we put aside time like this that supports our awakening into our fullest potential as human beings, which is to walk this earth both as a psychological and a spiritual being. We view retreat as satsang, the engagement of living truth moment-to-moment. With this in mind, we will be offering periods of engaged dialogue as well as extended periods of meditation to support your inner self inquiry and realization. While awakening lies outside any technique or approach, it is an undeniable portal that supports your full waking embodiment. This is your invitation to be what you truly are, which can't be named or objectified but which is undeniably your very presence.
Cost (includes meals and lodging):
Double Accommodation - $749
Commuter (includes meals only) - $625
Single Accommodation - $899 - please call the IRI Office to be added to the single room wait list.
