KOC to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe with Silver Rose
KOC to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe with Silver Rose
CRANSTON — The Knights of Columbus of Rhode Island will participate in a North American effort paying special tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, through the Our Lady of Guadalupe Silver Rose-One Life, One Rose Program. The effort involves the journey of five Silver Roses from Ontario, Canada, through the United States to Monterrey, Mexico. The journey for one of the silver roses includes stops in Rhode Island.
One of the roses will tour Rhode Island today through Nov. 23. The journey will begin at La Salette Shrine in Attleboro, Mass., today at 2 p.m., when the Massachusetts Knights of Columbus will transfer the rose to their Rhode Island colleagues during an afternoon of praying the rosary for life.
A Silver Rose prayer service will be held at several parishes and halls across the Diocese of Providence during the following six weeks, until the Knights turn over the rose to their Connecticut colleagues during a ceremony at Ender's Island in Mystic on Nov. 23.
"Through the Silver Rose Program, the Knights of Rhode Island show our support for the church and its bishops and priests as we pray for the continued strength to do so in these troubled times," said James Gilcreast Jr., state deputy, chief executive of the Knights of Columbus of Rhode Island. "The Silver Rose also symbolizes our commitment to restoring respect for the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death."
"The 'Running of the Rose' is a perfect program for the Knights of Columbus," said Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson. "Through it we honor not only Our Lady of Guadalupe and express the unity of the Order, but we also reaffirm the Order's dedication to the sanctity of human life. It is to the Blessed Mother that we turn in prayer as we work to end the Culture of Death that grips our society."
The local Silver Rose prayer service schedule is as follows:
Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Immaculate Conception Church, 111 High St., Westerly, 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.
Saturday, Nov. 23, St. Edmund's Retreat Center, 1 Ender's Island, Mystic, 4 p.m.
For an up-to-date listing of prayer services, visit kofcri.org.
Anyone interested in booking a Silver Rose prayer service or who would like additional information about any scheduled prayer service should contact Mike Krzywonos, Culture of Life director, R.I. Knights of Columbus, at 401-474-2285 or by email at email@example.com.

If you don't enjoy the things I write about — entertainment, nightlife, music, booze, gadgets, sports, Playboy models and more —you're probably dead. I enjoy when you read what I write. (And, yes, it's my real name. Stop asking.)
Choosing the 100 hottest women of 2013 was both a difficult and delightful task. We've spent months pouring over our past lists, internet searches, gossip items and lingerie and swimsuit catalogs to assemble the most comprehensive and detailed list of the 100 hottest women. Yes, poor us, our jobs are so awful.
The NFL has no more undefeated teams, and several past champions aren't giving up on this season. Here are five things we learned in Week 11:
A intra-divisional meeting of two of the NFL's best teams and the crowning of NASCAR's 2013 Sprint Cup champion highlight the upcoming sports calendar. Here's what to watch this weekend:
Record-setting performances and huge intra-conference wins highlighted the action from Week 10 of the 2013 NFL Season. Here are five things we learned:
Week 9 of the 2013 NFL season illustrated that no lead is safe, and no outcome is a given. Here's what we learned on Sunday:

Most NFL teams have now completed the first quarter of their 2013 season. The Denver Broncos have looked unstoppable thus far, unlike most of the guys in the GIFs below, who were very stoppable.
We are beginning to see which teams will be chased — and who will be doing the chasing — throughout the 2013 NFL season. Here are five things we learned from Sunday's games:

Besides looking for the right actor to play James Bond's foe, producers are also searching for a new leading lady.
Chiwetel Ejiofor could antagonize James Bond in the next 007 movie. According to a scoop from The Wrap, the "12 Years a Slave" actor is considered as a frontrunner to play the main baddie in the upcoming "Bond 24" which is expected to begin filming in October this year.
Casting for two key female roles is also underway. They are for a new Bond girl and "a Scandinavian with a troubled past who will serve as a brief love interest for Bond." No word on who the candidates might be, but there's rumor that Swedish actresses Ida Engvoll and Disa Ostrand have tested for the movie.
Director Sam Mendes and screenwriter John Logan return for the sequel. Daniel Craig is back as the 007 spy agent, and Ralph Fiennes reprises his role as James Bond's new boss after Judi Dench's character met her demise in the last movie. Naomie Harris (Eve Moneypenny) and Ben Whishaw (Q) are expected to return as well. The film is planned to be released Stateside on November 6, 2015.
Ejiofor, 36, is fresh off his Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his role as runaway slave Solomon Northup in the Steve McQueen historical drama. His next movie releases include "Half of a Yellow Sun", a novel adaptation set during Nigerian civil war, and a sci-fi, "Z for Zachariah".

Priority is to get Kilimapesa into profitability - Goldplat CEO
Gerard Kisbey-Green, chief executive of Goldplat (LON:GDP), says that the focus for the gold recovery business in 2016 is to bring the loss making Kilimapesa gold mine in Kenya back into profitability.
Key to the strategy is using the existing plant from Ghana which will be dismantled and reassembled in Kenya. Once profitability returns phase two of the Kenya turnaround will involve the mine having its own 'decent-sized' plant.
Ghana's tax free zone status allows the company to install more capital equipment there which is also pivotal to Goldplat's ambitions in South America. Kisbey-Green is looking for maiden deals in the region. "There's abundant material there and we've got a deal with customs and export type issues. Over the course of the year we hope to announce a couple of contracts for fine carbon to be shipped into Ghana."

Remy Ma Wants To Record With Rick Ross
Remy Ma will be coming home in about 3 months and she's ready to take the scene by storm. Unveiling that she has written over 20 books of songs while incarcerated, the NY femcee maintains that she also looks to link with Rick Ross and the whole MMG clan when released, to craft up some musical magic.
"There's a lot of people I want to work with," Remy Ma said in an interview with Billboard. "I want to definitely work with these MMG guys; I love what they're doing. I love [Rick] Ross. I f*ck with Meek [Mill]. He's one of my favorites right now. I love everything he puts out. I f*ck with French [Montana]. I like Nicki [Minaj]. She's been doing her thing. I like that YG kid, a lot. When July comes around, I'm around. That's my motto: I'm around."
Continuing explaining her growth as both a woman and an artist she added, "I have so much material that I've been working on and so many topics I want to touch on. I've grown so much as a woman and as an individual. I know that I can bring something to the table that's missing. I don't hear the things that I want to say or have experienced; I don't hear it in the music that's out."
"I want to show sides of me that I hadn't showed and tell my story since I left till now, and the stories of others. I can say I have at least 20 books or so of songs," Remy revealed in the interview.

The attached Staff Reports include the Development Activity Report and the Building Activity Report. These reports provide information on proposed development projects under construction, commercial code enforcement activity, and monthly building permits and inspection updates. Staff recommends acceptance of the Staff Reports (Building Activity Report and Monthly Development Activity Report).
Item 7 - Request for Approval to Submit Projects for the 2011 Transportation Improvement Program Priority List
Staff requests that the City Council approve and authorize submittal of applications for projects to be placed on the TPO's 2011 priority list. This does not obligate the City to fund these projects only to include them on the TPO priority list. The proposed applications to be submitted this year include:

· McDonald Road sidewalk -east side (Bicycle/pedestrian facility)

Staff recommends approval of the engineering fees for the construction phase of Spruce Creek Estates Drainage Improvements with Quentin Hampton for a cost not to exceed $65,473.00.
Item 9 - "Letter of No Objection" for Samsula Farms Plat Abandonment requested by County of Volusia
The County of Volusia working in conjunction with the St. Johns River Water Management District acquired a large tract of undeveloped lands contained within the Samsula Farms plat. This parcel is part of the County's Longleaf Pine Preserve. It is a standard practice of the SJRWMD to request the abandonment of plat and rights-of-way on undeveloped lands upon their actual acquisition.
The lands in question are located entirely west of Tomoka Farms Road. The parcel includes frontage on Tomoka Farms Road. Additionally, the western parcel boundary abuts lands in joint ownership between the County of Volusia and the City of Port Orange. Consequently, the County contacted the City as both a utility provider and as an abutting land owner seeking our concurrence with the County proposal to abandon the plat and associated rights-of-way of the undeveloped land contained therein.
The City Manager and his staff met with County officials. It was determined that the City has multiple other legal and existing developed access points to its wellfield property holdings, both from the south via Pioneer Trail, and from the north via Shunz Road. There are no existing active or proposed City utilities crossing the Samsula Farms tract, so abandonment of the plat will have no impact on water, sewer, or reclaimed service. Therefore, vacation of the plat and rights-of-way appears to have no adverse impact to the City. As a result of the discussions, it was determined that the City has no objection to the County's proposal to vacate the said plat and associated rights-of-way under the County's ownership.
At this time, it is requested that Council authorize the City Manager to send to the County of Volusia the requested "Letter of No Objection" for the proposed abandonment of the Samsula Farms Plat for the property holdings under the control of the County of Volusia and its partner, the SJRWMD.
Item 10 - 2010 Flu Program Revenue and Expenditures
This is the follow up report requested by the Council, at the completion of the 2010 Flu Shots Season billing process. These reports summarize all revenue collected during the 2010 Flu Shots Season and the programs funded from the revenue generated, in accordance with Resolution 05-63.
City Manager Comments: The City of Port Orange began offering flu shots to our residents a number of years ago. The program has been very successful for the City and our residents. Over the years, we have seen private providers begin providing flu shots at various locations throughout the City. In the upcoming budget, I will be recommending that the City of Port Orange no longer provide a flu shot program. In Russ' report, he suggested a modified flu shot program for the City Council's consideration. However, with Russ retiring on April 1, 2011, the individual who has successfully run the City's program since its inception will no longer be with the City. With the staffing changes, the City will be hard pressed to provide the oversight and coordination that is essential for the success of the program.
We have 656 flu shots remaining in our program and we have ceased our delivery. We are requesting to donate our remaining supply to a local clinic that provides vaccinations free of charge to local less fortunate citizens. The clinic is called the Jesus Clinic and is run by Dr. Bill Gilmer. I have spoken to him and they are very receptive to this, if we had any left over. They would still be required to have the proper Flu Forms completed and retained on file for the required five years, but they accept full responsibility for the administration. The value of the 656 shots is $6,888.00
City Manager Comments: The City of Port Orange has given the left over shots to the clinic in the past.
Item 12 - Request City Council waive 6 copies of the RFP requirement and regard the missing copy as "not a substantial deviation" regarding proposal from Reames
When Health and Dental Proposals were received last week all seemed to be in order except when opening the sealed proposal from Reames Employee Benefits Solutions, Inc., we noted that it contained 5 copies instead of the required 6. We notified Mr. Reames of the missing copy. He sent the City a request to regard this as "inadvertent" and accept his proposal as the missing copy was not a significant deviation from the requested number. Please see the request attached. All other items in his proposal were in order and in good form.
Staff recommends that the City accept the proposal from Reames Employee Benefits Solution, Inc. and regard the missing copy as "not a substantial deviation". Any further copies should be prepared by the City from the Master copy presented by Mr. Reames.
City Manager Comments: Reames Employee Benefits Solutions submitted a proposal to the City for dental insurance. The specifications required six copies be submitted to the City. The company submitted only five. All other documentation was completed. However, because the company failed to supply the required number of copies, they do not qualify to have their proposal reviewed and evaluated. The City Council does have the authority to deem this as a non-substantial deviation from the specifications. The Finance staff has recommended that this be deemed a non-substantial deviation. Although the Finance staff has recommended approval, I need to point out that the City Council in the past has not deviated from the specifications and requirements. By granting this waiver, the City Council would be differentiating between bid items and simply leaving one copy out of the submittal package.
Item 13 - Citizen Advisory Committee for TPO
A representative of the Citizen Advisory Committee for the Volusia Transportation Planning Organization will make a report to Council at this time.
F. FINANCE (John Shelley)
Item 14 - Resolution No. 11-12 – Budget Appropriation
On March 15, 2011 the Council will be asked to approve SHIP grant awards for various SHIP eligible projects. Also the Council has previously approved the cost participation agreement for Town West Blvd. The attached resolution appropriations budgets revenues and expenditures for these projects. Staff recommends approval.
Item 15 - SRF Loan Repayment Proposal
The City currently has investments, in the form of T-Strips, with an estimated value of $5.2 million dollars. Staff recommends selling these investments and using the proceeds to pay off SRF 5120 Allandale Rose Bay and to pay down SRF 3010 Garnsey Water Treatment Plant to the extent possible with the balance. The future value savings of this transaction is approximately $357K and will require additional short term funding but we propose to use an appropriation of available fund equity in the Water & Sewer fund that is above our 15% required.
Staff recommends Council authorize staff to sell T-Strip investments and use the proceeds to pay down current SRF loans to the extent possible.
City Manager Comments: At the last City Council Meeting, John presented options to the City Council to cash in some zero bonds and T-Strip Investments and use the proceeds to retire SRF debt. Also, John presented an option to take funds above the 15% level in order to retire the debt.
G. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (Wayne Clark)
Item 16 - Second Reading – Ordinance No. 2011-4 – Adoption of the 2010 Capital Improvements Element Annual Update
Staff recommends approval.
Item 17 - Resolution 11-13 - Supplemental LAP Agreement for turn lane at Willow Run/Clyde Morris Blvd.
The FDOT has requested the City execute the attached Supplemental Local Area Project (LAP) Agreement and Resolution for the right turn lane project currently under design supplementing the previous Agreement of 27 May 2010 and giving the City additional time, until June 30, 2011, to complete the Design Phase of these projects and to add E-Verify language to the contract requirements in accordance with the Governor's Executive Order.
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No. 11-13 approving the Supplemental LAP Agreement for the turn lane on Willow Run Blvd at Clyde Morris Blvd.
Item 18 - Resolution 11-14 – Supplemental LAP Agreement for turn lane at Dunlawton/Village Trail
The FDOT has requested the City execute the attached Local Area Project (LAP) Agreement and Resolution for the right turn lane project currently under design supplementing the previous Agreement of 27 May 2010 and giving the City additional time, until June 30, 2011, to complete the Design Phase of these projects and to add E-Verify language to the contract requirements in accordance with the Governor's Executive Order.
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No. 11-14 approving the Supplemental LAP Agreement for the turn lane on Dunlawton Blvd at Village Trail.
Item 19 - Special Exception for a Game/Recreation Facility in the "CC" Zoning District for Allied Veterans of the World, Inc. Affiliate 49
Planning Commission Action: February 24, 2010
Recommended approval (4-2), subject to the following conditions:
· The property owner will install 40 shrubs along the rear property line behind the proposed tenant space and extend the irrigation line prior to issuance of the business tax for the proposed use;
· The Special Exception use is limited to 3510 Nova Rd., Units 119 & 120;
· The Special Exception is limited to the applicant, Allied Veterans of the World, Inc.: Affiliate #49, only. If the applicant should abandon the units or allow the business tax to expire, the Special Exception shall become void; and
· Hours of operations shall be limited to 7am to 11pm.
At the Planning Commission Meeting, the attorney representing the applicant indicated that the facility would be open 24 hours a day, which is allowed by the Code of Ordinances. The attorney stated that she would need to speak with her client about limiting the hours of operations from 7am to 11pm, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The applicant recently informed staff that her client is proposing to limit the hours of operation to 8 am to 1pm.
City Manager Comments: Because of the technical and legal nature of a Special Exception, it would be good for each of you to speak with Margaret and Wayne prior to Tuesday night's meeting. The Game/Recreational Facility is allowed in the CC District as a Special Exception. Although the City Council has enacted a moratorium on this type of business in Port Orange, this organization began the process before the City Council adopted the moratorium. Therefore, they would be allowed to proceed to open their business.
H. ADMINISTRATION (Ken Parker)
Item 20 - SHIP Down payment Assistance for Mr. Danny Lee Sloss/5134 Pineland Ave
The State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program is a State grant funded effort to assist low and moderate income individuals with housing needs. Mr. Danny Lee Sloss has been approved for assistance through Mid-Florida Housing Partnership. As part of Mr. Sloss' approval, he has attended classes on credit counseling and home ownership. Mr. Sloss has a contract to purchase a home at 5134 Pineland Avenue and would like to close prior to the end of March 2011.
All contracts and legal documents will be subject to approval by the City Attorney's Office prior to property closing. Funds for this loan were identified prior to reporting the amount to be remitted back to the State with the termination of the City's SHIP program. Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff recommends Council authorize a SHIP funded loan up to $40,000 and acceptance of a second mortgage and promissory note for the purchase of a home in the City of Port Orange by Mr. Danny Lee Sloss, subject to approval of all legal documents by the City Attorney.
Item 21 - Authorization to Issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Redevelopment Project in the Riverwalk Area – RFP #11-14
To facilitate redevelopment in Town Center, staff has prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a development project on City & CRA lands within the Riverwalk Area of Port Orange Town Center. A preliminary draft of the subject RFP was previously reviewed with the CRA on January 11th and February 22nd. The RFP accompanying this agenda form incorporates all of the changes requested by the CRA, as well as modifications to ensure compliance with City Purchasing Policies and Procedures and proper legal form.
Pending approval by the CRA and City Council, the RFP #11-14 is scheduled to be issued on March 23, 2011. Proposals will be due into the City by 2:30 p.m. April 22, 2011. A six (6) member Proposal Evaluation Committee comprised of a Representative from the City Council and the Town Center CRA, CRA Staff, the City's Finance Director, Community Development Director and Purchasing Coordinator will review and rank all proposals and provide recommendations to the City Council and CRA.
A summary of key content of RFP #11-14 has been provided for discussion purposes.
Staff recommends Council authorize staff to issue RFP #11-14, and to appoint _________ to serve on the Proposal Evaluation Committee representing the City Council.
City Manager Comment: In the past, the City Council and the CRA have delegated the initial evaluation of proposals to a committee composed of a representative from the Council Member and city staff. The initial evaluation includes evaluating the initial proposals, conducting interviews, and submitting a final ranking to the City Council and the CRA. The City Council and CRA could interview the top candidates or accept the recommendation of the evaluation committee. Although the RFP contemplates using the same process as the City has used in the past, the City Council and the CRA could decide that it would be the evaluating body. That would mean the City Council and the CRA would rank the proposals and conduct the interviews. Rather than delegate this to a Committee, it might be good for the City Council and the CRA to be the evaluation committee. Because of the nature of the RFP, there is a "no contact" provision in the specifications meaning that proposers cannot contact Council and the CRA during the process.
Item 22 - Comments/Concerns from Council Members
At this time council members may discuss various matters or concerns.
Item 23 - Budget Workshop – Mandates
Attached is a listing and discussion of Mandates performed by City Staff. These Mandates include identified services, programs, functions, and other activities.
Please see attached for details.

I'm late to the party on Elephantmen -- the comic has been running since 2006 and there've been three collections to date. I've just read the first one, Wounded Animals and I've got that happy, warm feeling that comes from discovering something great, finishing it, and realizing there's plenty more where that came from (I discovered the series on a visit back to LA's Secret Headquarters, where the curated collection of comics never lets me down).
Elephantmen (which spun out of Image Comics's Hip Flask) is the a Dr Moreau-esque story of a race of human-animal chimeras created by a mad, savage doctor who wants to breed superwarriors to fight in an African war. The Elephantmen (who are not just elephant-human hybrids, but also hippos, rhinos, crocs, etc) are rescued from their maker and brought back to human society, the living brutalized evidence of the horrors of 23rd Century warfare. They are rehabilitated, given jobs and stipends, and eased into "normal life."
But life can never be normal for the Elephantmen; they were brainwashed to be merciless killers, they are traumatized and stigmatized. Some are cruel, some are wounded -- some are hunted.
Full of pathos and told in a series of disjointed, flashbulb vignettes, Elephantmen is great apocalyptic noir fiction, and the pulpy, over-the-top artwork (half EC comics, half Metal Hurlant) is a perfect complement.
Elephantmen Volume 1: Wounded Animals

Best Of :: People & Places
The Miami Herald is not the venerable newspaper she used to be. The digital age, employee buyouts and layoffs, and the real estate meltdown have left her ragged and battered. She's even fallen to fifth place among the largest dailies in the state. (Great Alvah Chapman's ghost, Batman!) Yet more often than people give her credit for, the Herald shows her old feistiness for dogged reporting. Our favorite was the March 28 Sunday front-page sordid crime tale penned by reporters David Smiley and Arthur Jay Harris. The duo retraced the evidence and witness statements that pointed to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer as the man who kidnapped and subsequently decapitated 6-year-old Adam Walsh in 1981. Before he was murdered in prison in 1994, Dahmer told Hollywood Police detectives that he was in South Florida when Walsh disappeared, but he denied killing the boy. Smiley and Harris interviewed several witnesses who firmly believe Dahmer was the killer. The story eerily describes how Phillip Lohr saw a "man carrying a struggling, freckled child out of Sears' toy department exit" and putting the kid inside an illegally parked blue van that matched the description of a vehicle Dahmer was driving at the time. Smiley and Harris detail how cops did not follow up on a tip from two truck drivers who saw Dahmer fumbling with a bucket next to his blue van, which was parked on the side of the road off Florida's Turnpike. The creepiest anecdote was the revelation by Terry Keaton, who was 10 years old around the time Walsh disappeared. Keaton recalled that one week before Adam vanished, he was almost kidnapped by a man he now claims was Dahmer. Keaton's quote: "In my heart, I truly believe that was the guy who tried to get me that day.''
What you need is a weekend away. But alas, Miamians, you're already living in the very place most Floridians vacation. So where to go? If you answered the Keys, go ahead and line up in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Seven Mile Bridge. (Besides, it's the same pastel motels, just more coconuts.) Instead, steer the car north like you're heading for Disney, but bypass all the mouse-touting exits and that spooky biblical theme park called the Holy Land Experience. Deep in the Ocala National Forest is Wekiwa Springs State Park, where you can spend the weekend camping in a backcountry Florida Shangri-la. Here's the scene: Moss-draped oaks canopy the park's springs, and pristine blue water nestles in natural rock that, thanks to the Floridan Aquifer, is always a cool 72 degrees. As for lodging, choose one of the campsites in the inner circle for the best shade, and kayak the Wekiwa Lagoon for some guaranteed gator watching. Camping costs $24 a night, or for primitive camping, $5 a person. Otherwise, park admission is $6 per car. For noncampers, the park is open 8 a.m. to sunset.
Most TV news talking heads, even the dudes, look and act like failed beauty queens trying to make a second career for themselves. But WSVN's Belkys Nerey bucks that trend. The 42-year-old Emmy winner is a solid, straight-up anchorwoman — telegenic but still intelligent. Born in Havana, Nerey spent her childhood in Long Island before tripping down I-95 to South Florida. Once here, she studied radio and television at Miami Dade College and Florida International University, got her start in cable news, and earned a spot in the Magic City's media parade as cohost of local gossip institution Deco Drive. Today, Nerey is cruising through the post-Deco phase of her career, holding down WSVN's nightly newscasts alongside Craig Stevens. And whether it's a celebrity sex scandal or a political con job, she always delivers the day's stories with appropriate seriousness. Case in point: Unlike some of the lesser faces populating the public airwaves, Nerey never falls prey to that annoying TV anchor tic of flashing a vacant smile after reporting Miami's latest murder.
Without warning, a woman brandishes two bushels of tree limbs and proceeds to beat our friend Lourdes from toes to shoulders. Between sweeps of the soggy branches, the woman dumps bucket after bucket of cold water on our friend. No, she's not swabbing the deck of a fishing boat. She's helping Lourdes relax with platza, one of the traditional spa treatments available at the Russian and Turkish Baths on Miami Beach. The baths attract Miami's ultimate relaxation-seekers, those who are willing to abandon modesty, vanity, and sometimes plain old comfort if it gets them closer to bliss. Women and men in barely-there bathing suits, heads wrapped in towel turbans, endure the volcanic heat of the schvitz as if sweating were a way to absolve past sins. A skeletal older man stands under a heavy waterfall that pounds on his bony shoulders. He raises his head, eyes closed, waiting to be beamed up to the mother ship. Make your way through the rest of the grotto-like rooms and hear the cries of those jumping into the icy polar tank; catch glimpses of red flesh, pores screaming from the extreme heat, and shield your eyes from the meaty woman having the mud hosed off. What are you looking at, you perv? Pass the wet branches and wait your turn. A day pass costs $30, and the baths are open from noon until midnight.
Michael Putney doesn't tweet. He doesn't pop up when we search his name on Facebook. And as far as we can tell, he doesn't blog. No, sir, Michael Putney is decidedly old school, and in this Internet age, we couldn't appreciate him more. While most TV reporters seem to come and go, Putney has been covering local government and politics in South Florida for nearly 30 years. Add to his incisive reporting a hosting gig on This Week in South Florida, one of the few must-watch local programs, and his occasional columns in the Miami Herald (which often upstage the newspaper's regular gaggle of columnists). There are few voices on local airwaves we trust as much as Putney and who report on politics with such authority.
Miami is a town where clubs spit out adjectives like exclusive, VIP, and upscale like an overchewed piece of Juicy Fruit. But WALL Lounge is actually one of the few places that can blow hard without bursting its own bubble. Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, the All American Rejects, Erykah Badu, Swizz Beatz, Jamie Foxx, Jason Binn, and Selita Ebanks are just a few of the celebrities who have walked through WALL's infamous doors. Other guest sightings have been rumored, but unless the press snaps a picture, they're almost impossible to confirm. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get a photo of the place, period. WALL's success lies in its size; it is so boutique it does not merit a VIP section — the lounge itself is the VIP. So if you're lucky enough to get in, keep the video phone ready — you might catch a TMZ-worthy moment.

Welcome to UKSEABLE.
UKSEABLE is a mutual support network for entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs who have disabilities or long term health conditions which impact on their work.
The creation of UKSEABLE has been made possible thanks to a Shackleton Foundation Leadership Award which has provided the initial funding required to set up the network and to provide support to disabled entrepreneurs for a period of one year. This award was made to me as an individual and I am extremely grateful to the Trustees of the Shackleton Foundation for this help in making UKSEABLE into a reality.
Initially UKSEABLE will operate primarily as an email discussion group, though with individual email and telephone contact between members of the group. The email group, called UKSEDP, will be a useful forum for discussions on many subjects relating to running a small business as a disabled person.
Over time, a specialist group of professional experts will be established. These will be disabled entrepreneurs who offer various business and disability related services to other disabled entrepreneurs. The thinking behind this is that the best support for disabled entrepreneurs can only be provided by other people who are themselves disabled entrepreneurs and who are being paid for their goods or services.
During the initial year of UKSEABLE, ways will be sought to turn the project into a viable and sustainable business in its own right. The objective is not to run a one year project but to initiate an ongoing service to disabled entrepreneurs for the future.
Initially I am responsible for delivery of the UKSEABLE project. However, other individuals with specialist small business and disability related skills are actively being sought to join with me in running UKSEABLE.
