Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I moved from my apartment and the landlord is claiming damages for normal wear and tear on the apartment. The manager claims that the apartment had to be in ready to move in condition once I leave. This is contrary to whats stated in the lease agreement Section 5)tenant agrees to return Premises to Landlord in as good condition as when received, normal wear and tear excepted. I followed the check out list exactly as requested. I steamed cleaned the carpets, wiped all the walls, ETC. The apartment was left in an immaculate condition and I took pictures. I believe this landlord and landlords manager is abusing the rights of tenants by making false claims in the hope that tenants will not fight back and in turn the landlord is keeping the full deposit and collecting more. That way they are making there apartments move in ready on the backs of tenants. Is the Landlord allowed to do that under the law?
2 Answers from Attorneys
The issue for the case, if you file it, will be whether the "damages" that they claim are beyond normal wear and tear. You have their letter advising you about the damages? If that is truly normal wear and tear, you can file a small claims action and seek return of the deposit. You should and can hire an attorney as there is an attorney fee provision in that statute.

QUALCOMM Demands Arbitration with Nokia
In an arbitration demand filed with the American Arbitration Association, QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) requests a ruling that Nokia's continued use of QUALCOMM's patents in Nokia's CDMA cellular handsets (including WCDMA ) after April 9, 2007 constitutes an election by Nokia to extend its license under the parties' existing agreement. Such an extension would obligate Nokia to pay QUALCOMM the same royalty specified in the current agreement and prohibit Nokia from asserting patent claims against QUALCOMM's CDMA products. QUALCOMM also seeks a ruling that it is entitled to terminate all of Nokia's rights and licenses under the agreement if Nokia sues QUALCOMM for patent infringement after April 9, 2007.

MySpace: View Profile Without CSS, Custom Styling, or Theme
Posted February 18, 2006 by MickeyMouse in MySpace
One of the most painful things about MySpace is the horrible themes that people use. The custom HTML and CSS makes some profiles very difficult to read. Here is how to read them without that custom CSS.
I need to visit MySpace quite frequently because it enables me to connect with fellow musicians. This is one of the biggest pluses for MySpace. However, many people use the custom CSS to style their pages. While they are supposed to look cool, often the styling just makes the pages unreadable.
Here are several ways that you can turn the custom styling off:
Using Firefox Alone:
- 1. Pull up the page you want to view.
2. Click View Menu.
3. Click Page Style.
4. Pick No Style.
IE Developer Toolbar:
- 1. Download IE Developer Toolbar Beta 2 or greater.
2. When you want to view a MySpace page without CSS, click Disable in the toolbar.
3. Click All CSS.
4. When you leave MySpace, turn CSS back on.
Firefox Web Developer Extension:
- 1. Download and install the extension.
3. When you want to view a MySpace page without CSS, click Disable in the toolbar.
4. Select Disable Styles.
5. Select All Styles.
6. When you leave MySpace, turn CSS back on.
Note: If you have the FireFox web developer extension installed, you can also use this shortcut to turn on/off styles: CTRL+SHIFT+S.
Firefox with Greasemonkey:
- 1. Download and install the greasemonkey extension.
2. Download and install the MySpace custom style remover.

Simply More Effective.

Any one planning on going to the festival in West Point, MS this Saturday?
I usually go early, hit the book sale at the library, the antiques area and do a little more wandering after that. I'm not sure what I will do this year as there is also an auction I would like to go to in Columbus and I don't know if my hubby will want to do both with me.
If the weather doesn't get any better, I might not do either!
Prairie Arts Festival
Any one planning on going to the festival in West Point, MS this Saturday?
What's the auction is Columbus??
This is the second auction for this particular estate. The man was a *long* time collector of antiques and even though this is the second run there is a *lot* of wonderful "stuff" on the block. Lots of furniture, crockery, old toys and glassware.
www.cookauction.com for pics and listing.
Look at this one, it's in EUPORA, MS They have some great stuff listed!!
Yep, you got it. This is actually the auction I was planning on going to. The flyer I got is just a tad confusing! I was reading on the back page and it has the info for the 'part two' auction in Columbus on Sept 30th! So, maybe I can hit them both! Eupora isn't much farther away than Columbus, so I'll just point the Jeep in the other direction this Sat.
I may skip Prairie Arts and just do the auction in Eupora to make the day a little easier. Over the last years PA has gotten to be a bit repetitive and less interesting than it used to be. If you have never been to it, it can be loads of fun, but I have been going for 20+ years and can take a break without missing a thing.
I know in advance that the auction will be a frustrating time as the Cooks aren't the best organized people in the auction business, but most times they do have things worth waiting for.
Any chance of you being able to make it to either one?
Oh Gosh, I hope my oldest daughter doesn't find out about this one..she's got so much she hasn't got room for it and still buys..she did go to another one in Eupora..I think they have an antique auction once a mo..Ruth might know more..anyway..she did come home with some good things at good prices from one of those monthly ones..she is letting me BORROW a bench that DH refinished for her that I fell in love with. The one I'm talking about is inside..you might want to check into that one also Ginni..sounds cooler. I like such, but I have so much in my house that I can,t use anything else...hubby would fuss big time..actually he does anyway..need to get rid of so much..we built this house 4 yrs. ago..prior to that we had lived in Italy..we went over with 4 1/2 crates and came back with 12 1/2 if that tells you why I don't need to go to an auction.

Building of the Day: 168 Hancock Street
Brooklyn, one building at a time.
Name: Row house
Address: 168 Hancock Street
Cross Streets: Nostrand and Marcy Avenues
Neighborhood: Bedford Stuyvesant
Year Built: 1881, addition added 1890s
Architectural Style: Neo-Grec
Architect: M. J. Morrill, addition by Montrose Morris
Other Work by Architect: Morrill-houses on Berkeley Place, Park Slope, also Prospect Heights; Morris-houses in Bed Stuy, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights North, Arlington, Alhambra, Roanoke, Imperial, Renaissance Apartment buildings, among other buildings.
Landmarked: Almost. Part of soon to be designated Bedford Historic District.
The story: This house has a connection to the first Dutch settlers in Brooklyn, a prominent real estate auctioneer, a famous Brooklyn architect and a mysterious tie to prohibition. All of this is wrapped up in a very large house with a very large yard on one of the most prominent streets in Bedford Stuyvesant.
The house is one of a group of three Neo-Grec style, four-story brownstones designed by M.J. Morrill for developer H. A. Weed. Morrill, who designed brownstones and other buildings in several brownstone neighborhoods, used his signature "v" shaped bays, creating something a bit unusual for a block soon to be filled with eclectic homes. This house is different from the others because it includes a double lot of land adjacent to the house, which has boundaries that stretch behind the five houses to the east of this house, giving the owner a great deal of land.
The first owner of the house was the Jeremiah (Jere) Johnson family. If you are a devotee of Brooklyn's architectural history, you've run across the Johnson name often. Jere Johnson was the owner of Brooklyn's largest real estate auction house. There are literally thousands of ads in the Eagle announcing auctions of property and sometimes the contents of estates from 1872 until 1902 when digitization of the paper stops.
He also had quite a Brooklyn heritage and pedigree. Jere Johnson was the direct descendent of Sarah Rapelje, the first white child born in New Netherlands in the Wallabout in 1625. His Dutch roots continued, with Remsens, Vandervoorts and other familiar Dutch names in the family tree until marriage into the Johnson family, an early English family in Brooklyn.
His great-grandfather was an officer in the Revolutionary War, in the Kings County Militia. His grandfather was General Jeremiah Johnson who commanded Fort Greene in the War of 1812 and was three-time mayor of Brooklyn. Jere Johnson was one of the founders and president of the Brooklyn Real Estate Exchange and made a huge fortune not only in his auction business, but by buying and selling large parcels of land for development, mostly in Flatbush.
In the early 1890s, Johnson hired prominent Brooklyn architect and neighbor, Montrose Morris, to add more room to the house. Morris added the fifth floor, with its mansard roof, as well as a large multi-floored extension to the back of the house. The family, which included three sons and three daughters, needed the room. There are accounts in the Eagle of them having events in their spacious garden grounds as well as in the house.
In 1896 tragedy befell the home when one of the sons, 22 year old Frank H., died a week after graduating from Johns Hopkins University. He and a friend took the family boat out for a sail on Long Island Sound and it overturned, drowning both of them. In 1898, Jere Johnson died while convalescing in Georgia. His wife accompanied the body as it was returned to Brooklyn, and the funeral took place in the house. The service was led by Dr. Meredith, the famous pastor of nearby Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, of which Johnson was an active member. He is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery.
The house was lived in by the family for many more years, and the business was taken over by Remsen Johnson, the eldest son, who changed the name to Jere Johnson, Jr. Co. But by 1923, the house was for sale. It almost became the property of a private sanitarium called the DeWitt Sanitarium, which had plans to house maternity cases in the house, but neighborhood sentiment was so against it that the plans were dropped. The neighbors might not have celebrated for very long. Or perhaps they did!
Whoever bought the house next adds the last mystery. Local lore has it that the house became a speak-easy during Prohibition. There was said to be an underground tunnel that led from the house, under the large lot next door, and over to Nostrand Avenue, where supplies of bootleg alcohol were passed into the house. The current owners of the house have not found any definitive evidence, except this: in the cellar, the foundation of the house is rubble and stacked stone. But one side of the house has a bricked up entryway that doesn't make any sense, construction-wise. It could be the long-lost entrance to the bootlegger's tunnel. Hmmm. It's a great story, part of the impressive history of this impressive property. GMAP

SALT LAKE CITY — After pouring in 20 points in the Jazz's 94-85 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, forward C.J. Miles said he's just striving for consistency.
His overall play against Memphis was a good spot to start.
Miles sparked the Jazz off the bench, especially in the second quarter, when he scored 15 of his points — a season-high in a quarter for a Jazz player this season. The 20 points Miles scored tied his third-best total of the season.
It was a much better outing than Miles had in Utah's previous game, a 93-81 loss to Dallas on Friday night, when he had nine points and three rebounds. Miles said he hopes to eliminate the up-and-down production that has plagued him his season.
"I just want to put games together, be consistent," he said. "I've yet to be put on a level where you know what you're going to get from me. I've had great nights, and I should be able to get my 10-11 (points), and 4-5 rebounds — that's what I'm supposed to get on a bad night."
His performance against Memphis would be classified in the "good night" category, and not just for his scoring. He played within Utah's offense, passed the ball, drove to the basket and also contributed on defense.
Miles assisted on a 3-pointer by Raja Bell that gave the Jazz an 87-81 lead. He then stole a pass by Memphis' Mike Conley, drove to the basket and converted a three-point play to put the game out of reach at 90-81 with 3:39 left to play.
Those are the types of contributions that coach Jerry Sloan wants to see from Miles.
"I would hope he would play defense first," said Sloan. "Sometimes it goes the other way. He has great range on his shot, about as deep as you want to get, I guess. I like it when we run a play and he handles the ball and passes or drives to the basket. That seems to be a little bit more efficient for us."
Miles' scoring doesn't hurt, either.
"We need some kind of spark (off the bench), somebody that can score, and he's given us that on a number of occasions," Sloan said.
An important occasion came against the Grizzlies.
The Jazz started the game ice cold from the field. They scored just 20 points and made 33 percent of their shots in the first quarter.
Miles then sparked the offense in the second quarter, making four of his first five shots. Utah sorely needed his production in the second period, as he scored 15 of the team's 21 points in the quarter. The rest of the Jazz shot 3-for-14 in the quarter.7 comments on this story
"I was just trying to be aggressive, trying to mix it up and trying not to shoot straight jump shots," Miles said. "It worked to my advantage today. It was just great to be able to have a balance and be able to pick my spots, and I was able to pass when they started to pay more attention to me."
When opponents pay more attention to Miles, it's a good thing for the Jazz. That means they have to play Utah honestly and can't just sit back and plug the paint.
"It's an element of that next scoring option to keep people honest," Bell said of what Miles brings when his shot is on. "When other guys aren't feeling it, he can carry it. It makes us a really tough team when he can come in off the bench and get us points like that."

Society is intimately familiar with the law enforcement mantra: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." We are also acutely aware of the mantra's misdemeanor version: "Don't do the crime if you can't pay the fine."
However, if you have recently been on the receiving end of a fine levied by a state or local government agency, you may ask when did it become the role of government to openly fleece citizens with lofty fines clearly not befitting of the crimes for which they are levied.
For example, the city of Sacramento recently fined a relative $330 and towed his car for parking illegally without paying $5 in a downtown parking lot. My relative is a senior citizen who didn't figure out he parked in a pay lot near the restaurant he visited. He had never seen a lot before with a pay station where drivers manually deposit money in the corresponding slot where cars are parked.
So he left the lot without paying, and the car was towed less than an hour later. When he returned from dinner, he called the Sacramento police number on a parking lot placard, determined his car was towed and made arrangements to visit the tow company yard 15 minutes away.
When he arrived at the tow yard, he first learned the cost for his crime. A $330 fine for a $5 parking violation. In a word, my relative felt extorted.
The tow truck driver explained that the fine levels are apparently set by the city of Sacramento. He said that towing services have always been expensive. He also added that he didn't set the fines and was just doing his job (why does everybody say that when it seems they know what is occurring is wrong?). My stunned relative paid the fine and decided on the spot to never go downtown for dinner again.
Government can say my relative has no one to blame but himself, and that lofty fines are strong deterrents. My relative openly admits he made a mistake and expected to pay a fine for it. But a $330 fine is more akin to a serious driving violation such as running a red light or driving solo in the carpool lane.
We all know the soap opera saga that government agencies face. They grew too big during the good times, their tax revenues and budgets are drying up and they are scrambling like mad to fund salaries, fund pensions — ahem, provide services — and stay in business. Budget and program cuts have been made, but the broken record rally call continues for higher taxes, higher service costs and higher fines.
And as citizens, we allow it to happen. We stand by while government tacks fees and penalties onto every service and violation until the day we need the service or make a mistake. Then we act shocked by the costs — one could say the costs of our apathy.
Take solace, Californians, other states are in on the same game. On a recent road trip through the northwest, we discovered Idaho state police hiding in the shadows eager to write tickets on mountain roadways with more changing speed limit zones than a Grand Prix race track. It seems all states and cities now are heavily leveraging traffic officers, reportedly eager to protect roads while also intent on writing costly tickets to help pad government coffers.
It's not getting the ticket and being penalized for the mistake that chafes the citizenry—the outrage is paying the additional costs of a citation artificially inflated with fees and penalties because government can't balance budgets and is looking for more revenue sources.
On the same trip, we noticed the maximum fines for littering in Nevada and Oregon were even substantially higher than in California. If memory serves, California's littering fine is $1,000 (it's probably higher). It's a maximum of $2,000 in Nevada, and it's up to $6,000 in Oregon. We hoped the $6,000 price tag in Oregon was for littering a truckload of furniture instead of an apple core, but you never know in a state that doesn't trust its citizens to pump their own gas.
Luckily, we made it home without committing any infractions. But we're all human, we all know it's only a matter of time before we make a mistake and have to literally pay the consequences, courtesy of our faithful government.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (UPI) -- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto says she personally brought blueprints from North Korea for her country's missile program.
In February 2004, when father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb Abdul Qadeer Khan confessed to selling nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, media reports also suggested Pakistan had given nuclear technology to North Korea in return for the missiles it bought from the communist state.
Talking to a group of Pakistani journalists in Washington during the weekend, Bhutto said Pakistan paid "cash" for the blueprints.
But she said Pakistani authorities might have exchanged nuclear technology for missiles at a later time, after the United States and other world powers imposed strict economic sanctions on Islamabad following 1998 nuclear tests by India and Pakistan. Bhutto's political rival, Nawaz Sharif, was then in power.
"It is quite possible that in 1998, when we were facing a financial crunch because of our nuclear tests, at that time this (exchange of nuclear technology for missiles) might have happened, but not by us."

THE Australian dollar is lower ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's interest rate decision.
At 0700 AEST on Tuesday, the currency was trading at 102.54 US cents, down from 102.72 US cents on Monday afternoon.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will announce its interest rate decision at 1430 AEST on Tuesday after its monthly board meeting.
All 13 economists surveyed by AAP last week expected the RBA to keep the cash rate unchanged at three per cent.
But BK Asset Management managing director Kathy Lien said the market had put the odds of a rate cut at around 55 per cent.
Ms Lien said that while a rate cut would push the Australian dollar below 102 US cents, traders would also look closely at the statement accompanying the decision.
She said a cautious and dovish statement would weigh on the currency, even if the cash rate remained unchanged.
"Whether the AUD (Australian dollar) holds above 1.02 or drops to fresh two-month lows will hinge upon the tone and action of the RBA," she said.
"Given the potential for a rate cut and the significance of this event, the risk is to the downside."
Originally published as $A lower ahead of RBA decision

Home > About Us > News > Overlake unveils new, state-of-the-art heart & vascular center
Published on July 17, 2013
New 19,200-square-foot heart & vascular center will elevate the level of cardiac care on Eastside
BELLEVUE, Wash. – July 17, 2013 – Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue today unveiled its new state-of-the-art David and Shelley Hovind Heart & Vascular Center to patients, with it being fully operational by August 5, 2013. The new 19,200-square-foot facility will bring Overlake's cardiac and vascular services together in one location and will feature the most advanced cardiovascular equipment and technology available on the Eastside.
The facility will allow more real-time collaboration between physicians, facilitate consultation between physicians, patients and their families, and will improve the Eastside community's access to cardiac care.
"For more than two decades we have offered the most comprehensive array of cardiac services on the Eastside and continue to be the only hospital that offers open heart surgery on the Eastside with nearly 40,000 patients receiving cardiac care at Overlake last year alone," said Dr. Joseph Doucette, director of invasive cardiology at Overlake. "The opening of our new heart and vascular center is an important step forward and will help keep Overlake at the forefront of advanced cardiac care."
Overlake's top physicians worked closely with hospital leadership, architects and technical leads to ensure the new heart and vascular center would advance the hospital's level of patient care and bring all testing and therapeutic services together in one location to improve physician collaboration.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and one person dies from cardiovascular disease every 40 seconds. Heart disease is most prevalent among men and women 65 and older, and on the Eastside this population is expected to increase by 30 percent over the next five years.
"The demand for advanced cardiovascular care on the Eastside is growing rapidly," said Dr. Derek Rodrigues, an Overlake cardiologist. "The opening of this beautiful new facility marks an important milestone for the advancement of cardiovascular care in our area."
During the last three years the number of open-heart surgeries performed by Overlake physicians has increased by nearly 35 percent and the number of EP/AF ablation procedures conducted has increased by 50 percent. This year Overlake expects to perform 400 open-heart surgeries and 600 EP/AF ablation procedures.
The new center is named the David and Shelley Hovind Heart & Vascular Center in recognition of the couple's $1 million leadership gift. The Overlake Medical Center Foundation & Auxiliaries raised an additional $1.1 million for the new facility at the 2013 Bandage Ball, the Foundation's annual fundraising gala and auction. To date, the Overlake Medical Center Foundation and Auxiliaries has received more than $4 million in philanthropic donations for the new center.
If you are interested in scheduling a private tour of the new facility led by Overlake physicians, please contact Lee Keller at firstname.lastname@example.com or Kipepeo Brown at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Community leaders made their way to the top of Ditchling Beacon to mark the launch of the Tour of Britain's Sussex stage.
The climb is the same one facing riders on the penultimate leg of the UK's biggest professional cycle race.
East Sussex County Council leader Cllr Keith Glazier and transport and environment lead member Cllr Carl Maynard were joined by dignitaries from Brighton and Hove City Council and West Sussex County Council on Thursday, July 31.
The route for stage seven, on Saturday, September 13, will see the world's top riders enter the county near North Chailey, heading through Uckfield, Horam, Hailsham, Eastbourne and East Dean.
The tour heads west through Seaford, Newhaven and Lewes, briefly re-entering West Sussex to take on the famous climb of Ditchling Beacon before passing through Brighton for the finish.
The stage finish will come just over 20 years after the Tour de France finish in the city, and 24 years since the last time a Tour of Britain came to Brighton. The stage, which begins in Camberley, Surrey, has been made possible with support from East and West Sussex county councils and Brighton and Hove City Council.
Cllr Keith Glazier said, "We are delighted to welcome such a high-profile cycling event to East Sussex and look forward to the visitors this will attract. It will provide a boost for local business and support growing enthusiasm for cycling as a healthy choice for leisure and everyday journeys in the county."

Two essential plugins for Windows Media Center have seen updates over the last week. If you're a Media Center user or you're thinking about using Media Center for watching TV and Movies then you must check both of these out – whilst there's a lot of buzz out there about Boxee, XBMC and Apple TV, Windows Media Center in conjunction with Media Center Master and Media Browser takes a lot of beating.
First up, Media Center Master was updated last week to version 1.26.26110.406. But what does it do? Media Center Master browses the web to collect metadata for the TV Programmes and Movies stored on your Media Center PC or home server. It identifies Movies, TV Series, Seasons and Episodes from their filenames, then retrieves a heap of data including Posters, Backdrops, Cast and Crew Images, Episode Guides, Ratings and a whole lot more. Keep this to yourself, but dig a little deeper and you'll find it can also automatically download TV Episodes and Movies from Bittorrent, but clearly you don't want to condone that sort of thing, do you?
The new release breaks out a Premium edition which is priced at $20 (annual) $50 (lifetime), offering said downloading features, caching, trailer and subtitle downloads, and more. Check out a full comparison between the free and premium editions here.
All this metadata is no use without a way to display it. Enter Media Browser, which last night was updated to v2.2.8. Media Browser is a user interface plugin for Windows Media Center which happily gobbles up all of the metadata generated by Media Center Master and transforms it into a spectacular TV and Movie library.
The great news is once both apps are installed and configured, there's little interaction required – just enjoy your entertainment. Media Browser is completely free, but accepts donations.
Changelogs for both apps as follows:
Media Center Master
- Media Center Master is now a licensed product with both a free and premium version. Please see this licensing page for full details.
- Issue #102: fixed: Download Missing Trailers tool supports nested folders now.
- Issue #157: duplicate of issue #178.
- Issue #172: fixed: thetvdb.com fetcher no longer downloads multiple posters for a season, occassionally downloading a banner over the poster.
- Issue #175: fixed: clearing meta data and then clearing it again (or performing other kinds of actions) no longer shows errors.
- Issue #178: fixed: blank meta data (no LocalTitle in mymovies.xml or SeriesName in series.xml) will cause Media Center Master to display blank entries in the media list that show errors when interacted with.
- Issue #179: fixed: T.V. shows with ampersands was causing ampersand code to display in media list and other media applications.
- Issue #180: fixed: movie list cache was not being written to disk on exit, so cleared titles were not staying cleared properly (and other oddities).
- Issue #182: fixed: uTorrent manager was showing errors and generally not working.
- Issue #188: fixed: multiple backdrop support is no longer dependent on fetcher priority.
- Issue #189: fixed: multiple backdrops aren't being downloaded upon certain circumstances (like no backdrops at all at one source, or if one fetcher didn't match the movie title, but the other fetcher did). Additionally, multiple backdrop support handles failures with backdrop downloading much more gracefully now.
- Issue #190: fixed: adjusted for isohunt.com HTML change.
- Issue #192: fixed: Media Center Master resized and repositioned its layout several times on start-up, causing it to appear to flicker and dramatically reducing usability for a few moments across network connections.
- Issue #193: fixed: absolute episode numbering at thetvdb.com was not working properly. It now works when 'treat SEE as AAA' is turned on.
- Issue #195: fixed: left/right pane sizing was causing layout issues if Media Center Master was closed while its window was maximized.
- Issue #2: added: the download parser now supports specials (when labeled using thetvdb.com's "season 0" method).
- Issue #155: added: media list columns are now selectable (right-click the columns and you can toggle on/off visibility for any column). Column visibility is persistent and will save between launches of Media Center Master.
- Issue #171: added: when using XBMC meta data generation, T.V. show posters and banners preference is now configurable.
- Issue #174: added: video/media information XML support for MediaBrowser 2.2.7+.
- Issue #181: added: added a tool to undo the XBMC wide T.V. show posters (restoring folder_bak.jpg).
- Issue #185: added: the media list filter is no longer case-sensitive.
Media Browser

- Internet Providers now fetch studios for movies and tv shows
- Media files can now be deleted properly right after they have been played
- The configurator interface has been cleaned up and offers some new options including additional extensions for external players

Lady Swan offers scheduled cruises, custom trips
SWANSBORO � The Lady Swan has taken flight.
The 40-foot, catamaran-style passenger vessel now calls Swansboro home and travels by way of the surrounding waterways as part of a new boat tour business up and running just in time for the kick off of the tourism season.
For Capt. Tim Simpson it�s a new way of spending his days on the water after more than 20 years of assisting boaters with TowBoat US.
It was time, he said, to retire from the 24/7 schedule that came with his towing duties but not from cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway or gliding along the Swansboro waterfront and heading out to meander around the islands that make up Hammocks Beach State Park.
�I was in the towing business for 21 years and sold it, but have always seen the need for this type of business here,� Simpson said.
At the helm of the Lady Swan, the only thing Simpson now has in tow are passengers anxious for time on the water. And leading the cruises with him is first mate, Capt. Jacob Brown.
They offer daily scheduled cruises as well as custom trips for groups planning birthdays, reunions and other gatherings and special events.
The Lady Swan, able to carry up to 42 passengers, made its first trip May 11and has already been host to a birthday party, a Mother�s Day excursion and a gathering of Vietnam veterans.
�We�re here to accommodate what they want,� Brown said.
And there are few places on the local waterways they can�t reach. The 40-foot Coast Guard inspected vessel is designed to travel in as little of 18 inches of water.
�Even people who have boats, we can show them areas they might not be able to get to on their own. We can get to some real nice secluded spots,� he said.
Brown was raised in Swansboro and was given the opportunity to come back and work with Simpson after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and recently completing a marine technology program at Cape Fear Community College.
He also gets to work on the water he loves.
�I grew up with the White Oak River at my back door,� he said.
Together, Brown and Simpson look forward to sharing their passion for the water and their hometown with those aboard the Lady Swan.
�We�ll be telling the history and showing points of interest as we go along,� Simpson said.
There are the stories of historic downtown Swansboro, local shrimp boats, and a wealth of maritime history to share, he said.
Huggins Island is grown up with dense maritime forest but was home to a Confederate six-cannon battery and the dealings of Blackbeard the pirate are said to have extended to coastal islands such as Bear Island, which he used as a get-away spot and potentially stashed some of his loot.
Simpson said they are getting started as the busy tourism season begins; and the Lady Swan will be operating through November, but they are continuing to develop plans. With the addition of side curtains and cooperation of the weather, they could make trips in the off-season as well.
Simpson said they want to do school trips as well.
�We�re thinking of getting the schools (involved) and doing trips that could be part of the curriculum,� he said.
The Lady Swan has already seen strong support from the community.
Simpson said there are many people to thank for helping make his new venture possible, from his wife, Jane, who is also a licensed captain and can also be found helping on the boat tours, and Casper�s Marina, where the Lady Swan stayed while readied for her debut.
Community leaders and area residents have been equally enthusiastic.
�The local town people have been very supportive,� Simpson said.
The Lady Swan is docked at Nancy Lee Fishing Center on N.C. 24 between the two bridges. Daily two-hour cruises are scheduled at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and at sunset.
For details go to ladyswantours.com or call 910-325-1200. Reservations are encouraged.

Credit scores affect whether or not you can get credit and the interest rate you pay for credit cards, auto loans and mortgages as well as other kinds of credit. A credit report contains information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you have ever been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. Nationwide consumer reporting companies sell the information in your report to creditors, employers, insurers, and other businesses that use it to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment or a mortgage. Normally a higher score means you are more likely to be approved and pay a lower interest rate on new credit.
Lenders look at your scores all the time. They look at your scores when deciding whether to change your interest rate or credit limit on a credit card, or whether to send you an offer through the mail. Having good credit makes your financial dealings easier and helps you save money with lower interest rates. A good credit score is a vital part of your financial health.
When lenders talk about "your score", they usually mean the FICO score developed by Fair Isaac Corporation. It is today's most commonly used scoring system. FICO scores range from 300-850, and most people score in the 600s and 700s. FICO credit scores above 700 are very good and are a sign of good financial health. FICO scores below 600 indicate high risk to lenders and could lead lenders to charge you much higher rates or to turn down your credit applications. Credit reports are important because they are the raw data that go into your credit score.
The federal Fair Credit Reporting ACT (FCRA) requires that U.S. consumers be entitled to a free credit report each year. The government's goal is to make sure that consumers stay informed, fight identity theft, and get fair treatment.
The nation's credit reporting agencies have teamed up to build a website that you may use to get your free credit report. You can also call them at 877-322-8228 to request your free credit report. Click here for more information and to make sure you are not requesting your credit score from an "imposter" website.

Yeah for a good time! Great house! I wiped out last weekend on the trail in two spots. Once on one of those bridges and once over a rocky wet area. A bit further down the trail, we noticed they covered some of the boardwalks with chicken wire to give it some traction. I ripped my new zip of pants and wracked my knees and hands up pretty bad!

Social media became truly universal this year when on Jan. 22 flight engineer T.J. Creamer, of NASA Expedition 22 on the International Space Station, posted the first tweet from somewhere other than Earth. In his first tweet Creamer wrote: "Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! :) More soon, send your ?s"
In May 2009, NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, a mission specialist on STS-125, sent tweets from orbit, but they had to be e-mailed to Mission Control and then posted by NASA staff to his account. Now, tweets from space can be posted directly by way of a new, direct Internet connection.
Astronauts on the International Space Station can now surf the web and e-mail family and friends. The wireless connection, called the Crew Support LAN, uses existing communication links.
Back on Earth, the Space Foundation posts regularly on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. See the most recent press releases, photos, and comments on Facebook and LinkedIn.
"Social media, as NASA well knows, provides excellent opportunity for real, two-way conversation," said Janet Stevens, Space Foundation vice president – communications. "We would love to hear from our fans and supporters on our site."
The Space Foundation staff tweets at least daily, and plans to tweet hourly from the 26th National Space Symposium in April, as well as inviting attendees to tweet.

Amphenol Corp., which makes electrical cable and related equipment, said Wednesday its fourth-quarter net income increased 50 percent, helped by increased demand in all segments.
For the quarter that ended Dec. 31, Amphenol said net income rose to $131.1 million, or 74 cents per share, from $87.6 million, or 50 cents per share, in the same period last year.
That's a penny more than Wall Street was expecting, according to data from FactSet.
Revenue jumped 25 percent to $949.9 million from $758.3 million in the year-ago quarter, more than the $948.2 million analysts predicted.
Amphenol's products are used for various applications, from telecommunications to medical equipment to missile systems. The company said the increase in revenue came from all product divisions, but was led by its industrial, mobile devices and military aerospace divisions.
For the full year, Amphenol said net income rose 56 percent to $496.4 million, or $2.82 per share, from $317.8 million, or $1.83 per share, in 2009.
Revenue for the year increased 26 percent to $3.55 billion from $2.82 billion.
Amphenol said it expects to earn 70 cents to 72 cents per share in the current quarter on $925 million to $940 million in revenue.
For all of 2011, the company forecast net income of $3 to $3.10 on revenue of $3.89 billion to $3.96 billion.
That's better than Wall Street is currently expecting. Analysts are looking for quarterly earnings of 69 cents per share on $917.5 million in revenue, and annual earnings of $3 per share on $3.89 billion in revenue.
Shares were unchanged at $52.89 Wednesday.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
While comedian Kevin Hart's comedic star is on the rise, his status as a Hollywood power broker has also been elevated.
Independently releasing his stand-up film Laugh at My Pain this weekend on only 97 screens, the Soul Plane star found his project picking up over $2 million. At a solid per-theater average of $20,000 for the movie, which played in 25 markets, including Los Angeles, Dallas and Atlanta, the film not only out-paced much of the box-office competition, it did so without the backing of a major Hollywood studio.
Comprised primarily of footage shot during one of Hart's shows at the Nokia Theater last February, the film was produced for only $750,000 by Jeff Clanagan, chief executive of the independent (and African-American-owned) production company Codeblack Entertainment, which distributed the movie domestically in AMC Theaters. Hart's Hartbeat Productions co-produced the film.
With a barebones marketing plan, primarily using Hart's social media following and an ad spot on VH1's Basketball Wives, Clanagan says he was able to connect directly to Hart's core audience.
"It's a lot easier to reach your target audience these days," Clanagan told the Los Angeles Times. "On Facebook we just asked our fans, 'Hey, we're gonna expand the movie, what market are you in?' And we had 6,000 responses in an hour that showed me, for instance, that we need to go to places like Boston next. We asked fans what key art we should use, and they had a different opinion than what we'd initially chosen — so we changed the art based on that feedback."
Laugh at My Pain will expand domestically to 58 additional theaters next weekend.

NCUA Issues Cease and Desist Order to Ex-CEO
The NCUA issued a cease and desist order Friday against David Addison, former CEO of $1.4 billion Texans Credit Union in Richardson, Texas.
"The order, to which Addison consented without admitting fault, requires that Addison not become an employee of, hold any office in or serve as a board member of any federally insured credit union or credit union service organization," the NCUA said in a press release.
NCUA Public Affairs Specialist John Fairbanks confirmed the NCUA's lawsuit against Addison has been settled.
The NCUA filed suit against Addison in January of last year. After taking over as CEO in 2003, Addison "began making drastic changes to the credit union, changing longstanding internal policies and fundamentally shifting its overall business focus," the lawsuit said.
Under Addison's leadership, the NCUA claimed Texans started making investments in "several risky businesses and commercial loan participations," not normally related to credit unions.
"Mr. Addison's actions were very costly to the credit union, and financial institution regulators have a responsibility to hold accountable those parties–institutions or individuals–when they undermine safety and soundness," NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said in January of 2013.
"NCUA is required by statute to take every action we can to recover TCU's losses, including legal action," Matz added.
Former Texans Credit Union CEO David Addison is a partner and founder of Aberdeen Capital Holdings in Dallas, which bought a 51% stake in CNBS, based in Kansas City, in 2012.

Listowel meeting on extending Great Southern Trail
SUPPORTERS of the Great Southern Trail are holding a meeting in the Listowel Family Resource Centre on Saturday, October 19, at 6pm to discuss the plans to extend the greenway route from Kilmorna into the town.
The Great Southern Trail operates along old disused railway lines in West Limerick. However, it became mired in controversy in February when walkers were blocked from progressing along the old railway line into Kerry by local landowners.
A number of landowners have concerns about the plans to open up the old line for walking and leisure purposes but have not set out their concerns publicly.
Supporters of the plan, meanwhile, say it will attract hundreds of tourists annually in a major boost for the area.
GST organisers from west Limerick will make a presentation at the meeting on the fencing, gates and bridges completed along the route in Limerick.
Support for the extension of the GST into Listowel made its way across the estuary this week courtesy of Clare hurler Domhnall O'Donovan; the man who got the vital, equalising point in the All-Ireland final.
A friend of GST member Gearóid Pierse, O'Donovan signalled his support of the walk this week - all he asks in return is that the 1,000 plus supporters of the GST in Kerry shout for Clare in Saturday's All-Ireland final replay!

You can't have an "on season" without having an offseason. The nutritional transition between them can be very challenging.
Moving from one training season to the next, athletes should feel as though they are continually recovering from, building upon, and advancing their performance. Starting over from the beginning, or worse, from a deficient place at each season is not a sustainable approach to athletic success. This is something that gets even more challenging with age, and especially when moving from racing to recovery.
Making this transition all starts with understanding the base foundation to the aerobic diet and its distribution of macronutrients: 50 to 55 percent carbs; 20 to 25 percent protein; and 10 to 15 percent fat. The adjustment of these needs to reflect and support the varying levels of energy requirements. During the racing season, one's carb intake can reach up to 70 percent and during the recovery season can go down 40 to 45 percent. At this recovery time of the year, one should also increase their protein intake (up to 25 percent) for repair and rebuilding of muscles as well as for strength training along with an increase of healthy fat intake (up to 35 percent). Remember, at and below 55 percent of VO2 max, fat becomes the primary fuel.
Mentally this can be hard to process from the numbers to the plate. By following and using the seasonal progression of local, available foods will help guide you through. Not only will this support your nutritional requirements, it will help save you time by not having to think about what to eat, provide you with fresh, dense nutrients and flavors, and require simple preparation. For those living in colder climates with less availability to local food, one can use techniques such as sprouting, freezing, dehydrating and fermenting, to enhance and make available hard to find nutrients.
However, even the colder climates will provide the right food for the season. During the winter there are more proteins available, along with leafy greens like kale for its high content of calcium and folic acids to support bone and muscle recovery. When the spring comes around and it's time to begin the nutritional transition again, the earth has what you need. Healthy fats from grass-fed herds in the form of cheese and dairy, asparagus and strawberries for its vitamin C / antioxidant content to help flush out the free radicals from training, and new greens for B-vitamins, red blood cells and oxygenation to support an increased training regime.
Going from one season to the next sounds easy, but most have experienced the challenges of excess eating as a result of training habits, increased downtime and societal functions. A solution that I have found to work well is cleansing the body. The Athlete's Cleanse by Organic Performance is specifically designed to help folks re-align themselves to their own body as well as the seasons by taking the conscious effort to readjusting ones dietary intake. Doing so provides the body with an opportunity to lose some weight, clean out any processed, convenient and foods used for fueling along with a subsequent shift in training intensity and volume. A cleanse will also provide the body to focus on repairing muscles as the elimination of solid foods and carbohydrates from the diet will increase ones HGH production and subsequently their ability to heal.
You can't race if you can't recover and each of those stages requires its individual nutritional support. Making those adjustments is a steady progression of seasonal food availability coinciding by readjusting one's macronutrient intake. In the Northeast they like to say 'you can't get there from here.' You can, it's just a matter of knowing how.

Corporate collapse settlement totals now top $335 million, agency says. Lawyers to get $84 million. Corporate rescue assessment to be determined.
NAFCU president responds to NCUA announcement by reiterating agency's need to help credit unions lower expenses.
Agency says reduction in 2013 corporate assessment not in the offing but have passed the halfway point in overall payback.
Board chair says audit shows agency is fulfilling its financial reporting responsibilities, will soon update system resolution costs.
Veteran examiner assumes her new duties on Sept. 3 and succeeds Tim Segerson, who earlier this year became deputy director of E&I.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Effective Jan. 1, NCUA's Office of Corporate Credit Unions will reorganize into a new Office of National Examinations and Supervision.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Federally insured credit unions have two new proposed rules to consider, new corporate assessment after the NCUA Board met Tuesday.
Credit unions should set aside between 8 and 11 basis points for next year's assessment to pay for the corporate credit union rescue, NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz advised last week.
While the NCUSIF's equity ratio is headed in the right direction, it's not clear how much it will benefit the bottom line of credit unions.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — If current financial trends continue, the NCUSIF's equity ratio will likely end the year at between 1.28% and 1.32%, which could mean a lower assessment to pay for the corporate credit union rescue, NCUA Chief Financial Officer Mary Ann Woodson told the agency's board last Thursday.

Who to trust to build your system for you
Subject: Systems | January 13, 2006 - 03:33 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
[H]ard|OCP has a pair of system reviews up, the first of which is WidowPC's WidowFX. That's followed up by the Maingear Prelude. Consider these 2 as a good start for getting new system with very little assembly required.
"The experience that we had with WidowPC on the back end was above average. They have friendly and
responsive techs, and, essentially, they build a stable gaming system— once you get the parts that
you ordered. However, there's no telling if that's what the next consumer may receive, as the
system we ordered had parts in it that we didn't order and didn't expect to receive. There is a
major disconnect between their Web site, their phone sales, and the final product that we
received. Their QA process seems absent—it should have been obvious from the start that the 430W
Raidmax PSU with 13A over the +12V rail was woefully underpowered for our system's configuration."
