Ripley’s Crazy Golf Orlando is now open to the public at Icon Park on International Drive. One of the featured props is a golden toilet, but that’s not even the strangest part of the experience. The ball will keep score for you. It’s an RFID chip. “When your ball sinks into the LED cup at the end of the hole, your score will automatically be displayed on the scoreboard TV above,” Crazy Golf’s monitor explains. No more using tiny little pencils or fudging tallies. Admittedly, I haven’t been in mini golf circles for a while, but this seems innovative. However,…

Written by Steve Beeman, Beeman Intelligence Group Washington releases employment statistics every month and the country responds as if it were the nation’s economic scoreboard. When the numbers go up, politicians celebrate. When the economy goes down, experts predict a recession. Cable news committees spend hours debating whether the unemployment rate should increase or decrease by a tenth of a percentage point. But the truth is that employment statistics are slowly becoming a false scoreboard. The real economic story of the next generation will not be about how many people are working. What matters is how productive these people are…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Sam Reinhart will not participate in the Florida Panthers’ next road trip, head coach Paul Maurice announced after Saturday’s practice. At this point, it’s unclear how much time the team’s leading scorer could miss with an undisclosed injury. “He’s working on more than one thing,” Maurice said. Just two days after scoring the winning goal in Thursday’s 2-1 overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, Reinhart leads the Panthers in both goals (29) and points (61). A fearsome two-pronged player, he also leads Florida in power-play goals (11) and short-handed goals (3). Asked about the severity…
Q: My azaleas have been blooming for a few weeks, but there are lots of black spots on the leaves. What are they and how can we control them in the future? A: I have mold spots on my azalea leaves. Unfortunately, they are fairly common and often cause significant leaf decline by the time of flowering. Fungal infections on azalea leaves often occur during the rainy season.
