Newport Beach Bans Styrofoam Cups To Help Keep Beaches Clean

Just something interesting from our local paper. Newport Beach voted this week to ban foam cups from restaurants, in an effort to help keep its beaches clean. The law has an interesting background. Local high school students pushed for it, and the local restaurant association actually backed the ban rather than fight it. One reason is a “hardship” ban for food places that might find it too expensive to do away with the cheap cups.

Thinking of dropping your link spam? Consider this. Seriously, STOP & READ. The guy who runs Google's spam fighting team? I know him pretty well. In fact, it's sort of a joke between us to see what's the latest absurd link drop I can share. So if you want your site to be a poster child on his idiots wall -- and probably to encounter a Google penalty -- go ahead, drop your link. It's nofollow anyway, plus I do have built-in spam fighting and what gets past that usually gets nabbed in a few minutes to a few hours. So you got to ask yourself. Are you feeling lucky?
