Marc La Vorgna, the press secretary for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, stopped by NY1 Wednesday to answer criticisms of the city's Rapid Repairs program.
The program was set up to help people whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Sandy quickly get fixed, but some homeowners complained that it's taking too long.
The city has said there aren't enough electricians to meet the demand.
La Vorgna defended the city's efforts, saying the scope of the project was unprecedented.
He conceded there have been some minor kinks, but La Vorgna said there are now 4,000 people back in their homes that otherwise would not have been.
"We went out, took responsibility for this, something no other city has ever done," La Vorgna said. "No other state, no other municipality, no other county, whatever it is, has ever said 'OK, we're gonna help you get this done,' as opposed to saying 'OK, talk to FEMA, let them write you a check. You go off and Google a plumber and Google a contractor and find a way to get it done, or find your electrician that way.'"
La Vorgna said contractors are working to get another 1,500 units up and running.
He did not have a end date for the program.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg. Fictional Missouri village on the west bank of the Mississippi River in and around which the entire novel is set. The village is modeled on the real, and somewhat larger, Hannibal, Missouri, in which Twain himself lived as a boy. Like Hannibal, it has a wooded promontory on its north side and a huge limestone cave to its south. Tom Sawyer lives near its center in a two-story house that closely resembles Twain's own home of the 1840's. However, the fictional St. Petersburg also has elements of the tiny inland village of Florida, Missouri, where Twain was born and spent most of his summers while growing up, and thus evokes an even more rustic flavor than a real riverfront village might have had.
Seen through Tom's eyes, St. Petersburg is a world in itself, an epitome of positive nineteenth century small-town American values that offers almost everything that a boy coming of age could want: rugged sports, Fourth of July picnics, itinerant entertainers, romance, imaginary adventures, and even genuine life-and-death adventures. A mostly sunny place, St. Petersburg reflects Twain's cheerful nostalgia for his childhood haunts, which he regarded as a "paradise" for boys—hence the name "St. Petersburg," after the gatekeeper to Heaven. Although it appears generally safer and more comfortable than its historical counterpart, it also has an ominous dark side, symbolized by the lurking presence of the murderous Injun Joe, a haunted house, the danger of drowning in the river, and...

Extended Analysis
Tomasz Stanko: Dark Eyes
Dark Eyes
Since he first caught listeners' ears in pianist and composer Krzysztof Komeda
Since the start of the 1990s, Stanko's projects have tended towards experiments in space, sometimes mixing in eclectic instrumentation, and often returning to the evocative atmosphere of film music. He first entered the world of cinema when Komeda was hired to score what would prove to be some of the greatest works by director Roman Polanski. Since then, cinema has grown beyond an influence to form a kind of three-dimensional reality within Stanko's music. It's no surprise then that Dark Eyes owes as much to the atmosphere of movie houses, clouded with cigarello smoke, and the morality of film noir, as it does to his strictly musical influences.
The album grants Stanko the opportunity to bring a new group of four young Nordic musicians into this special place and see what happens. His last quartet, with pianist and fellow Pole Marcin Wasilewski
's trio, worked almost exclusively together for the better part of a decade, and became brilliantly at home in this musical environment. While the new group lacks the seasoning that the Polish quartet attained, its potential is evident, and the visual quality of its music is remarkable. The influences range from paintings and plays, and from places like New York and Brazil, and thus it's no surprise that a certain visual inspiration seems to lurk within the music.The introduction of guitar and electric bass provide simmering currents to the bottom of the mix, which never threaten to overwhelm a kind of dramatic tension that grows within the band. Drummer Olavi Louhivuori might have played with Stanko all his life. He fits this aesthetic like a glove, filling the space with a smattering of rhythms, and imparting a crackling sound to his cymbals with brushes like waves and rain.
Pianist Alexi Tuomarila is a special presence, his approach striking an affecting balance between neoclassical minimalism and the Northern European jazz school captured so clearly on other ECM recordings. The trancelike sparseness of his playing, paired with an exquisite use of dynamics, is striking from the first solo notes introducing the aptly titled "So Nice." Jakob Bro
on guitar also displays a calculating mix of virtuosity and restraint, though it would be nice to hear a little more of his voice come through within the band. For large sections of songs, he seems relegated to playing in unison, or sketching meditative backdrops, behind the trumpet or piano. His solo on "Terminal 7" shows a well refined talent, full of a sweeping, brooding energy that bespeaks good things ahead.Stanko himself plays in his most reflective style. A single note stretches out until it becomes an echo of itself, or cracks into a scream, as on "The Dark Eyes of Martha Hirsch." Inspired by his encounter with a painting from expressionist Oskar Kokoschka, the song finds Stanko and Bro playing in jutting harmony, building up a hair-raising tension which Tuomarila then exploits in a softly subversive solo. When the the trumpet follows, it's a raw and pure statement, showing Stanko's influences both in the traditional and the avant-garde with delicate classic runs, evoking Davis, which then explode into his own distinct and jarring cries.
Yet the album as a whole remains on the mellow side. It lingers lovingly over two tributes to New York, first in the propulsive romance of "Grand Central," then in the wide open spaces of "Amsterdam Avenue." The second is filled with tinkling percussion, piano and guitar. "May Sun," a brief interlude with the trumpet sitting out, proves sweetly haunting as the piano ticks out a repeating four note line like a cuckoo clock, and the guitar hums along. The tunes are well-defined, their interpretation subtle and soulful. "Samba Nova" is an extended composition inspired by Brazil, with hints of Rio rhythms filtering into Stanko's shrouded landscape like sunlight.
This suggestion returns at the very end of the album, as there is something sweetly optimistic in the way time yawns out over Komeda's "Etiuda Baletowa," a "ballet study" that Stanko had never actually played before. As the trumpet breathes out the final few notes, stretching them further, and the last hits of stick and cymbal ring out, there is a sense of waking up to a bright morning, while the music lingers in the mind like the best dreams. It's an exciting first effort from a quintet that promises even more intriguing things on the road ahead.
Tracks: So Nice; Terminal 7; The Dark Eyes of Martha Hirsch; Grand Central; Amsterdam Avenue; Samba Nova; Dirge for Europe; May Sun; Last Song; Etiuda Baletowa No.3.
Personnel: Tomasz Stanko: trumpet; Alexi Tuomarila: piano; Jakob Bro: guitar; Anders Christensen: bass; Olavi Louhivuori: drums.

The Wild Fishing Forum is a community of like-minded friends rather than just another fishing forum. Its pretty special to us for a number of reasons. Its not a commercial site, so its not driven by numbers. It is a well attended and busy site, but still, numbers dont matter. We do not browbeat or blackmail our members to take out subscriptions, membership is absolutely free, donations to help with upkeep are entirely voluntary. It works for us! The forum has 100s of active members, a vast archive going back over 10 years with an emphasis on content, not bells, whistles and regular make-overs. The Wild Fishing Forum has its imitators, but it is the only credible Scottish based wild fishing site. Nothing else comes close. Our membership includes every level of skill and experience from complete beginner to expert. We have some of the best anglers in the world as well as complete novices. We go way beyond just fishing. You wont find any agro, nastiness, bullying, trolls, posting of personal insults, backstabbing, racism, bigotry etc etc here, its not tolerated. Its a friendly place where we respect each others' views even if we dont agree with them. We dont do stockies. We dont pretend tame is wild; that's for others. We are a wild fishing community; we dont much care about species as long as its wild. We dont do fishing competitions or ego massages. If you are a competitive angler this is most certainly not the best forum for you. One or two have tried it and just did not fit in. If you are a UK based fishing "guide" or someone who sells articles to magazines trolling the 'net for information you are not welcome, so don't even think about registering here. Please do not join the forum just to promote your own web site, blog or products. We regularly arrange forum outings, some large, some small, some are the stuff of legend; all are great fun. They help forge friendships between individuals who, in all likelihood, would never have otherwise met. Its fair to say this does not please everybody and its also fair to say membership of this community might not suit everyone. Much of the forum is arranged on a restricted access basis. Non-members cant see much and new members dont get access to areas such as the fishing reports until they have regularly contributed in a useful way. Its a friendly community and we do anything that is necessary to keep it that way. To get more of a feel for it watch the video posted below then read the Forum Registration Agreement : http://www.wildfisher.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=17147.0 . If you are happy with what you see and read we would be delighted to have you as a member. Looking forward to seeing you! Pages: [1]

The ACC is expected to release its 2013 football schedule Monday afternoon. The conference had planned to complete it in the first half of February, but complications including the arrangement of the Labor Day game (reportedly between Florida State and ACC newcomer Pittsburgh) slowed the release.
The league encountered similar challenges last year in putting together the Labor Day game between Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. The 2012 schedule was announced on Feb. 27 of last year.

Frame Drum, 22" with Webbing
This is the perfect light weight frame drum for playing all night. This drum has a thin metal walled frame that is covered with a white natural skin. The head is held on by intricate raw-hide webbing. The webbing is functional and decorative. To achieve the light weight the frame is very thin. Although sturdy, you should expect some warping over time. It may go out of round- but the sound from this 4 inch deep drum is worth it.

TERRE HAUTE — On Sept. 5 when the Pepperdine volleyball team takes a short road trip south to play at Southern California, the match will be a passing of the torch for former Terre Haute South players now on the West Coast.
That night, freshman Kristen Seaton of the Waves, in her first collegiate season, will be matched up against USC senior Katelyn Bishop, who is concluding her career this fall with the Trojans.
Seaton enters her college career rated as one of the top 50 incoming recruits in the country, credentials similar to what Bishop earned on her way to USC.
Bishop recently returned from a 14-day trip to Europe, during which the Trojans not only bettered themselves by visiting several historic landmarks but also competed on the court against many different foreign national and professional teams. They finished the trip with a 7-4 record.
"We played the most amazing teams," Bishop said this week via e-mail. "We started out experience landing in London for a short 12-hour layover, and like London is known for, it rained. It was still so amazing to see the sites that London is known for."
The trip then took the team to Krakow, Poland, for a pair of volleyball matches.
"We won the first, and lost the second to the top Professional team in Poland," Bishop said. "We got to do a lot of sightseeing there, and we visited the Wieliczka Salt Mine and Auschwitz."
After Poland, Bishop and the team traveled through Slovakia to Hungary to play in a tournament called the Savaria Cup.
"We were the first non-national team to compete, and we finished second," she said. "We lost to Hungary in five games, and yes we were in Hungary. The match against Hungary was amazing because we played in this little gym, which was packed with Hungarian fans who had drums and flags."
Bishop and her teammates felt that while they did not win the tournament, the hostile environment in which it was played should prove helpful as they make their annual run through the NCAA Tournament.
"All the fans in Europe made a huge vocal impact," Bishop said. "It was valuable experience that we gained by playing in front of this crowd. After several days in Hungary, we then went to have an amazing half day in Slovenia. Which I must say is one of my most favorite places on the trip.
"While in Maribor, Slovenia, we took a gondola to the top of a mountain, where we had dinner watching the sun set," she continued. "It was a memorable night. The next morning we left to have a few shopping and sightseeing days."
Venice, Italy, was next on the trip, and Bishop considers this locale a place someone has to experience first-hand.
"Venice is a place you have to see in person to realize how special and unique it truly is," Bishop said. "We then drove to Verona, Italy, and spent around four hours looking at the city that was the setting for Romeo and Juliet.
The team then left for Milan, where Bishop said most of the girls did their "serious shopping," and then headed over the Alps to their final destination of Montreaux, Switzerland.
The Trojans watched another National Team tournament, but also got to play the Swiss National team.
The trip was a chance for Bishop to return to the court at full strength, as a hand injury suffered early last season limited her spiking ability and kept her out of spring workouts.
"I took a ball off my finger and shattered a knuckle on my hitting hand," she said. "I continued to play the rest of the season while taping it. I was unable to compete during the spring, because I needed to have my knuckle repaired.
"I came back shortly before we trained for Europe, and I was back to full swing quickly."
Bishop can't wait for the new season to begin, as the Trojans have been picked to finish second in the Pacific-Ten Conference and have a strong recruiting class coming in. She was happy with the experience in Europe, and also with how her teammates treated her during the down time in the spring.
"After going through the experience I had with my team, not only in Europe but with how supportive they were while I was rehabilitating, I have great confidence in the strength of our team both mentally and physically," she said. "We are a very strong group of women, who enjoy each other and play hard for each other. We have the ability to go far this year, and considering that this is my last try at getting that ring, I can't wait to get going."
• Comings and goings — Several other athletes have decided upon their next place to play college sports.
• Terre Haute South grad Evan Pettit has signed a letter-of-intent to play baseball for Murray State University after a successful two-year career at Arkansas-Fort Smith. Last year, Pettit helped lead the Lions to a 39-20 record and their first National Junior College Athletic Association Region II championship in 20 years.
Pettit hit .346, third on the team, with three home runs and 23 RBI's as the team's starting catcher.
During the regional tournament, Pettit had an unusual situation in which a key at-bat was delayed approximately 24 hours by a rain delay. When the game resumed the following day, Pettit hit a two-run double that scored the winning runs in a 7-3 win over Seminole State.
"We needed that to get our day started right and have something positive happen right out of the box for us," UAFS Coach Dale Harpenau told the Fort Smith Times-Record. "He got a fastball and hit it hard. It really got our day started."
• Union graduate Sasha Stanton has transferred from Lake Land College to St. Mary-of-the Woods College for her second year of college softball. Stanton was the starting shortstop and cleanup hitter for the Lakers last season.
Stanton hit .286 with three home runs and 24 RBI's for the Lakers, who were 35-14 the top seed in the Region 24 tournament before being upset by Lincoln Trail.
Morgan Finn, Lake Land's top pitcher last year, also departed the Lakers for Division I St. Louis.
"Those kids are very close to me," Lake Land Coach Denny Throneburg told the Mattoon Times-Courier. "It's a great deal for both of them."
• Terre Haute South graduate J.T. Hatfield has signed a letter-of-intent to play basketball at Olney Central, while Marshall grad Kayla Parsley has signed to play softball at Lincoln Trail.
South grad Bobby Woods missed the entire season last year for the Olney Central baseball team with arm trouble, but will return this fall and is expected to be able to return to the mound.
• Former Union athlete Desson Hannum, who played college football at Wabash, is in his first year as head football coach at Southmont High School. He has been an assistant coach at Logansport for the past five years.
• Greencastle native Joe Franklin has been hired as head track and field/cross country coach at the University of New Mexico. Franklin comes to UNM after 12 years as the head track and field/cross country coach at Butler University.
Among Franklin's athletes at Butler was Jennifer Macke of Terre Haute North.
Joey Bennett is a former Tribune-Star sports reporter and copy editor who now teaches and coaches at Northview High School in Brazil. He can be reached at email@example.com, and his Web site listing area athletes competing in college can be found at www.tribstarcollegereport.com.

Hello! I have a lot to learn :)
I am still learning! Welcome, from Cali!
Welcome from Scotland, too. I have found that I learn, at the very least, one new useful fact about the iPad each day from iPad Forum.
Thanks :) Not quite sure how to use this app yet either..lol! This is my first iPad. My hope is that it is similar to the iPhone, that will make things easier.
Welcome to IPF! And never fear - there's quite a few of us here still learning the ins-and-outs of the iPad. Have a look around - and be sure to make use of the Search function if you've a question (I've found it rather handy!) Other than that, enjoy! :)
Thanks :)

Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is locked?
I have a handsfree Bluetooth kit in my car so that I can safely place calls while driving. This worked flawlessly with my previous Windows Mobile phones (Tilt/Tilt II). With the phone tucked in my pocket and the mobile OS locked I could press the voice activation button on the dashboard and easily call someone. Not so with my shiny new AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II. Now I have to dig the phone out and unlock the device before I can use my handsfree system are we back in the smartphone dark ages?? I might as well take up texting and driving while Im at it and forget the handsfree unit altogether.
Apparently Google in their infinite wisdom has decided already paired Bluetooth devices pose a security risk. As such, when Android is locked it disables any control from Bluetooth. I suppose if you work for the government or some place that you need Pentagon like security this makes sense. For the 95% of us that dont need these draconian measures this is just plain stupid and potentially unsafe.
Ive heard a few Android phones have a bluetooth bypass option but apparently its rare (mine doesnt have it) and Ive read it doesnt always work. I also cant just disable locking since I connect to my works Exchange email which requires the device to have a PIN. And I shouldnt have to throw away ALL security just to drive safely anyway.
Id love to stick with Android and support a developer friendly platform but Im not going to sacrifice usability and safety to do so. This issue is a deal breaker for me Id be using an iPhone right now if I knew of this problem a few months ago. If its not solved Ill be an iPhone user in about 8 months. This would be a shame since I dont like Apple as a company, its too bad they seem to be the only ones who really get how people use technology.
If you know of a *real* solution to this problem Id love to hear it. So far everything Ive found out there goes unanswered (except for flames and other unconstructive replies) or states unrealistic answers (turn off security, stop making phone calls while driving, blah blah blah). - 01-01-2012, 02:50 PM #2
Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
Why did you copy paste a rant into multiple Android forums instead of asking a question minus the nerd rage? You would likely get more constructive responses and quicker to boot if you applied a slight amount of forum let alone net etiquette. (PS I R copy pasta 2!)
Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
My GS2 will make bluetooth calls from when locked perfectly well. when paired to my infiniti g35, i press call from the steering panel and even when the phone is locked it will dial any number in my phonebook.
ezz no problem, mang. - 01-02-2012, 10:48 PM Thread Author #5
Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
I posted it across forums because people don't seem to respond to these questions except with stupid flames like yours lol. If you don't have anything constructive to add to the thread maybe just shut it?? I bought a phone, it doesn't seem to work as a phone should and I'm trying to solve the problem, end of story. Anyway I'll reply across forums too...
I'm headed into the AT&T store tomorrow to do some definitive tests but so far I'm skeptical people who say it's working for them truly have their phone locked (with a PIN, etc). The Bluetooth unit in question is a Parrot CK3100 LCD - a bit dated (3 years old) but it works flawlessly with several WinMo phones, several non smartphones (mostly Nokia's), and we just tried a friend's iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. In all cases phonebook and voice dialing not only worked excellently it worked when the phones were truly locked and the screen off.
On the other hand the 3 Android devices I've tried all have the same problem - they won't dial out either by phone book entry or voice recognition unless you unlock the device first. The 3 devices are: Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T), Samsung Galaxy S (Verizon), and EVO 3D (T-Mobile).
Unfortunately I don't have any other Bluetooth headsets to try out, hence my planned trip to AT&T. I plan on walking out of their either with a Bluetooth device that works or an iPhone Thanks for the replies. - 01-03-2012, 06:50 AM #6
Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
That is done on purpose to prevent someone from taking your phone and bluetooth and being able to use your phone without unlocking it.
You could use to automatically unlock your phone when you connect your bluetooth.
Since security is not an issue for you, you could use an app like to skip the lock screen completely.
Or ICS has a built in option to keep the phone on while on a charger.
Or the does the same thing for free until ICS comes out. When you get in the car, pop the phone into a dock or onto a charger and unlock it. It will stay unlocked until you leave the car and will be charged.
Before you consider an iPhone, are your sure that you would be OK giving up 40 of your features? See the: Apple User's Guide to Android.Last edited by milominderbinder; 01-03-2012 at 10:46 PM.

Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
I'm sorry if you failed to see the constructive part of my post. The portion that mentioned how being rude is less likely to get you help. Then again I kind of figured you wouldn't comprehend that anyways even before I made my initial response. BTW when you posted your initial comment a quick Google search answered the question the same as how Milo responded.
I also went out and tested it with my Jabra bluetooth speaker and with my wifes bluetooth in her Hyundai. Same result- if I am only on a lock screen with no password or pattern lock bluetooth picks up and voice calls just fine with no issue. If there is a lock on it then it won't. Makes simple sense as far as security goes and the issues are easily bypassed.Thanked by: - 01-03-2012, 05:50 PM #10
I can understand OPs nerd rage. I dislike the pointless replies like "don't talk & drive, har har." When I ask for assistance I want viable solutions & not pointless dribble that doesn't address my concern. However, being a psychology nerd I also understand that when expressing such an opinion there will always be those that will push back anyways & often on purpose upon hearing/reading such comments. @OP, the best way to avoid flamers is to not fuel the fire. But I can empathize with your frustration.
Anyways, I'm following this topic bec I just got a Bluetooth & experienced the same issue when using a pattern lock. It maybe a security risk for bluetooth to bypass the lock but that's my risk to take. If tasker will solve this, while still remaining locked, that would be a decent work-around. But I would prefer that ICS implement this feature built in.

Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
Just to put closure to this, the situation has been remedied. AT&T is swapping my phone with an iPhone. I talked to a lot of unhelpful, unfriendly, and uncaring customer service people but finally reached someone who understood the issue and was willing to resolve the situation fairly.
It's also confirmed without a doubt that by default Android OSs (at least up to 2.3.x) deny bluetooth control while the phone is locked (PIN/pattern locked, not just screenlocked). As I stated in my original post calling this a security feature is crazy - *most* people don't need this level of security especially when it it compromises the ability to use the phone safely. To have this as a default, unchangeable behavior is asinine.
Those of you who are reporting your phone works fully with bluetooth even when locked are in the minority - either you're just screenlocking the phone (no PIN/pattern required), you're plugging into a device which disables locking (some recent built in car systems have this feature apparently) or you've got a rare model that has bluetooth bypass. Go buy a lottery ticket cause you're lucky!
For now I'm jumping off the Android bandwagon. Good luck and again thanks to those who made constructive replies. - 12-30-2012, 07:52 PM #13
Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is loc
I found a solution. I installed Tasker and Secure Settings. In Tasker, I create a profile for when my bluetooth device connects to my phone. I then created a task that disables my PIN.
I also created a profile that re-enables my PIN when the bluetooth connection is lost.
I still say that Samsung has this screwed up and I'm very disappointed that I even had to install third party software to make this work.

Re: Cant place calls from Bluetooth device when the phone is locked?
This is my first ever post. I have the same problem... but the most frustrating part is that it USED to work until a few months ago. I cannot remember exactly when. I have an ~1 year old Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ bluetooth. I have a passcode on my phone. Until a few months ago, I would put on my BT headset, press and hold the button, and VOILA, the default Google voice dialer would come up and pretty accurately hear my "Call xxxx at yyy" requests. I'm on 4.1 of the OS now. The problem seemed to occur when Voice Dial became Voice Search. I have some older direct-dial widgets and don't see a way to get new ones. It is as if the older Voice Dial just disappeared and the new Voice Search doesn't have the same "dialing" smarts. I got some tech support from Plantronics this week - it was suggested that I delete my headset from the bluetooth list, turn off phone, and re-pair. The BT at least now will dial with a 2-second press, but it will still not wake up the phone and unlock it. That feature seems to be gone. VERY frustrating (and unsafe). Without further solutions, I will have to decide if I want to lock my phone or be able to make handsfree calls from the car. I hope this info gives others some insight or maybe someone will have more info on progress towards a solution.

Best TV overall (that can also do 3D)
Speaking of TVs that are superb and also happen to have the 3D feature, there's our favorite TV of the year, Panasonic's ST50 series. It lacks 3D glasses, and its 3D picture quality is, albeit decent, probably its worst aspect. But the rest of its goodness more than makes up the difference.
The good: The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors, and solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics. The styling is attractive and the feature set well-chosen, including excellent onscreen help options.
The bad: The ST50 uses more power than competing LCD TVs, and doesn't perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It doesn't come with 3D glasses, and it showed more crosstalk in 3D than some competing TVs. The ST50 is only available in 50-inch and larger sizes. Three HDMI inputs is one fewer than most midrange TVs offer.
The bottom line: With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among videophile-grade TVs.

The Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio opens the 21st season for South Florida Jazz, a nonprofit presenting organization, with a concert on Saturday at the Miniaci Performing Arts Center in Davie.
The Cuban pianist burst onto the scene in the late 1980s, stunning audiences and peers with his technique and eloquence. If a stamp of approval was needed, Rubalcaba won two Grammys and received 14 nominations, but his technical brilliance sometimes ended up distracting from his ideas.
In recent years, his playing and writing have matured, revealing greater depth and breadth. He has his own label, 5Passion, and recently released his second album on that imprint, the excellent XXI Century, yet another twist to his explorations of modernity and tradition.
Rubalcaba can still wow audiences, and it's almost a certainty there will be breathtaking moments Saturday night, but there is a richer, smarter, wiser simplicity at play now.
The Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio performs at 8 p.m. at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center, 3100 Ferrero Blvd., Nova Southeastern University, Davie; tickets are $50, students $20, VIP $99 (includes party) at 954-462-0222 or southfloridajazz.org.

For over a decade, Healy Consultants has been efficiently and effectively assisting our Clients with i) business registration ii) business license registration iii) Singapore business banking solutions iv) visa options and staff recruitment strategies and v) workspace rental solutions.
Disadvantages of Singapore company registration
- All resident firms must have at least one resident director, who can either be a citizen, permanent resident or work pass holder in the country. Furthermore, corporate directors are not allowed;
- Since Singapore is a services and export-based economy, its growth is dependent on i) the health of the Chinese economy which is a major trading partner and top location for the country and ii) the health of the global economy in general;
- All companies must submit financial statements annually to the Inland Revenue Authority (IRAS). Healy Consultants assists our Clients efficiently and effectively complete this annual statutory obligation;
- Singapore is an expensive city for a new business, with monthly average labor cost being US$2,600 and monthly average office rental being US$7 per square foot. Both rates are more than double the rates in neighboring Malaysia;
- Hiring foreign workers is difficult; the company will have to prove that local workers were not denied the work opportunity.
Different Singapore entities
Healy Consultants' experts will assist our Client in determining the most optimum corporate structure for their business needs. There are several ways of incorporating, the most common being the limited liability company (LLC), Branch Office and Representative Office.
The LLC
- Foreign entrepreneurs generally prefer an LLC when they wish to incorporate in Singapore. This entity can engage in any commercial or industrial activity. Furthermore, the bureaucratic requirements are low as only one shareholder and one director are required;
- This entity can be incorporated within one week, with a share capital of just US$1. Plus, our Client will not be required to travel to complete Singapore LLC registration engagement.
Branch Office
- A branch office can conduct business only within the scope set by the parent company. A Singapore-based branch can invoice local customers, sign sales contracts and receive income from customers;
- The branch company can be 100% foreign owned and the parent company must obtain the necessary licence for the branch's industry of business.
Representative office
- A representative office will be used if the foreign company does not intend to carry on business activities in Singapore. This entity can also be 100% foreign owned and controlled;
- A representative office is not allowed to make direct sales in Singapore. Such an entity can only engage in activites such as i) promoting the business of the parent company and ii) market research. A local agent or distributor will be appointed to sell goods and provide services to local companies.

Accounting and tax considerations
- Healy Consultants Compliance Department will provide our Clients with Singapore accounting services to fulfill their annual obligations.
- Singapore corporate tax rate is 17% for Singapore sourced income or foreign sourced income remitted to Singapore;
- A Singapore registered company is legally tax exempt if all profits are derived from offshore sources;
- All start-ups to enjoy tax rebates on profits in the first three years. A 100% tax exemption is possible on the first S$100,000 (US$78,000) and 50% tax exemption on the next S$200,000 (US$157,000). Consequently, the effective tax rate for such companies is just 4%;
- As of 2013, the Government has introduced more tax exemptions and rebates that last beyond the first three years of business. As a result, a resident company will enjoy a tax rate of just 6% on the first S$300,000 (US$235,000) of profit;
- The government does not levy a capital gains tax. Even, the GST is charged at a low rate of just 7%;
- A non-resident individual is subject to tax of 20%, though it may be reduced by double taxation treaties;
- Singapore company formation allows a firm to benefit from the country's 80 double taxation treaties which minimize withholding tax on funds transfers abroad;
- All resident firms are exempt from paying withholding tax on dividends, rentals or technical assistance;
- Personal income tax in the country follows a progressive system and ranges between 2% and 20%;
- Annual audited financial statements are submitted to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) within 7 months of the end of the accounting year. Our firm is a specialist in accounting and bookkeeping services;
- Healy Consultants Compliance Department assists our Clients to efficiently and completely discharge the annual accounting and auditing obligations through the following: i) documenting and implementing accounting procedures ii) implementing financial accounting software iii) preparation of financial accounting records and iv) preparing forecasts, budgets and sensitivity analysis to better manage financial obligations and ease the process of reporting to the authorities;
- If a company is managed and controlled in Singapore, then it is considered tax resident. However, if it is managed and controlled by directors and members residing outside Singapore, then it is considered as non-tax resident. Therefore, foreign sourced income which is not remitted to Singapore, is completely exempt under the Singapore tax law;
- An Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is not liable for corporate income tax in Singapore if there is no Singapore sourced income and the partners reside abroad.
Compliance considerations
Healy Consultants Compliance Department assists our Clients efficiently and completely discharge their legal and tax obligations.
- Singapore has a very efficient legal system. All parties, regardless of their nationality, will be offered the right to due process under the law;
- The Constitution of the country bars all resident firms from discriminating against employees on the grounds of religion, race, descent and place of birth;
- All resident companies is barred from releasing private information about individual without his/her consent;

- A resident firm is exempt from the annual statutory financial audit if corporate turnover is less than US$4 million and there are no corporate shareholders;
- A resident company will be required to maintain both a local address and company secretary, when incorporating in Singapore. Healy Consultants can provide a local address for monthly fee of US$1,450;
- All resident firms are mandated to report all changes in the particulars of the company or its officers to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA);
- A resident company must ensure that all its foreign employees hold relevant permits before they start working in an official capacity;

- Singapore corporate law allows for de-registration of a resident company, which takes around 6 months to be completed. Our experts can provide our Clients with this service for US $1,450.
Singapore employment visas
Migration to the country can be an expensive and complicated process, with Singapore visa applications requiring extensive supporting documentation. Hence, engaging the assistance of a corporate services firm can be valuable.
After our Clients incorporate a Singapore company, Healy Consultants assists them in obtaining employment visas from the Immigration Department (Ministry of Manpower). We are proud to say that our approval rate is still 100%. Healy Consultants' fee to assist our Clients in obtaining work permit is US$2,950.
The two important visa schemes associated with Singapore company entity are:
Entrepreneur visa (Entrepass)
- This Singapore work visa allows entrepreneurs an expedited entry into the country. This permit lasts for one year, but it can easily be extended as long as the business setup meets the government work requirements;
- An entrepreneur will need to provide i) proof of company registration with at least S$50,000 initial share capital and ii) proof that the applicant himself/herself holds 30% of the shares;
- In addition, the company must be meet one of several additional requirements listed by the Ministry of Manpower.

Success tips when doing business in Singapore
- The country has several distinct cultures, each with its own business etiquette. Malays are likely to frown upon handshakes between opposite sex business persons, while more traditional Chinese businessmen are likely to bow in place of a handshake;
- All negative remarks or comments should be made in private and entrepreneurs should take extra care to avoid correcting a business partner in a way that might embarrass the other.
- Chinese individuals are generally averse to fee negotiations and so, attention should paid to ensure that a Chinese business partner is not offended by your negotiations;
- Names depend on the culture of the business person as well. Chinese names usually lead with the surname and are followed by 1 or 2 given names, while Malay games are likely to forego a family name entirely;
- The exchange of business cards is an important aspect of working in the country. A business card should be given to everyone attending the meeting. When receiving a business card, taking time to look and comment about the card shows respect;
- Government agencies play an important role in business in the country. So, a foreigner engaging in company registration should exercise restraint and be patient as much as possible because the authorities will always have the final say in the matter;
- Since, all resident companies will not be well-versed with international trade, Healy Consultants encourages our Clients to consistently use and sign contracts of service;
- Singaporean business communication is very polite, with questions often worded with a yes/no format, such as "would you like to or not?". Business persons should consider this when communicating about business dealings;
- Make friends with your local Clients and suppliers. Singapore's business culture is based on extra caution and so, you will need to develop trust before starting work together.
Did you know about Singapore?

- It is also among the 20 smallest countries in the world. However, it is the 2nd most densely populated country in the world;

- The Merlion (half fish and half lion) is the most popular symbol of the country. The fish represents Singapore's past as a small sea town while the lion represents the creature which the Indonesian prince saw;
- Singaporean national anthem 'Majulah Singapura' is actually sung in Malay;
- The highest point in the country is Bukit Timah Hill which is only 164 meters high;

Although PAWS went to Olympia this year to get legislation banning leg hold traps and regulating puppy mills, we found ourselves fighting to preserve progress previously made for animals. SB6256 would have reduced protections for horses under the cruelty statutes. SB6642/HB 2980, also known as the "University of Washington Data Protection Bill" was specifically aimed at PAWS' previous successful efforts in court to uncover cruel experimentation. HB2807, a bill which started as an effort to regulate possession of tigers as pets in our State, garnered a wide spectrum of agency and public support before it was weakened just prior to a hearing, thereby losing our support. Our efforts at organizing and lobbying against these bad bills paid off as all three died in committee. Additional PAWS efforts this session included lobbying for expanded funding for Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's wildlife conflict resolution education program and successful passage of a Senate resolution stating that gray whales deserve continued protection.

Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet announced last week that the Western Slope Conservation Center in Paonia has won a $100,000 competitive grant from the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation. The grant, which comes from the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) Cooperative Watershed Management Program, will be used to improve stream stability in the Smith Fork and Surface Creek drainages and address water quality issues in the North Fork of the Gunnison River.
Bennet wrote a letter to the Bureau of Reclamation in support of the Conservation Center's grant application.
"Colorado's rivers and streams are a lifeline that bring drinking water to our homes and support our state's economy," Bennet said. "The Gunnison River is a valuable water source for Colorado and the region. This grant will help the North Fork community more effectively manage this water supply for the families and the businesses that rely on it."
Sarah Sauter, executive director of the Western Slope Conservation Center, said, "The Conservation Center is thrilled to receive funding through the bureau's Cooperative Watershed Management Program and appreciates Senator Bennet's support for our program. The grant will enable the Conservation Center to expand the geographic scope of our watershed planning to include water interests in the Smith Fork and Surface Creek drainages. We look forward to building community trust and partnerships necessary to effectively implement projects that enhance the environmental integrity of the watershed."
