Back in June, Cooper City Mayor Debby Eisinger came up with a bright idea: She decided the city ought to do mandatory criminal background checks on all candidates. Eisinger claimed she wanted this done because after all the corruption arrests of late, it would be a good idea to screen potential officeholders. That reason...
Three South Floridians made uncommon waves with their opinions on Don't Ask, Don't Tell this week. One worried about the military worrying about sex, one decided that male Lady Gaga fans must be gay (which is true, actually), and one worried about the free speech of chaplains. 1. Allen West...

Back in middle school science class, you might have used an orange to power a light bulb or two potatoes to run a digital clock. The reason it works is the acid in the fruit creates a chemical reaction between two metal electrodes, which produces electricity. A single orange, lemon,...
Patty Canedo is a chef in Palm Beach. Every week, she interviews a different kitchen insider for her Q & A series, Behind the Line. In this economy it's exciting to see a restaurant opening against the odds, especially a American bistro. But to entertain the uh, let's call them "particular" ...
The Barrio Latino restaurant is bustling when a black 2010 Acura pulls up across the street. A lean young man with caramel skin, a round nose, and spiky black hair steps onto the sidewalk. It's 8 p.m. — four hours until his 39th birthday — but Eddie Santana still looks...
As a ten-year resident of South Florida, I've noticed something — hardly anyone is from here. Also: We like to argue that where we came from is the best place on Earth. Or at least that it has the best food. Surely you've witnessed plenty of harebrained arguments about whose...

The methodology for this list was simple: Any local recording that made a huge impact in 2010 would be considered. This included EPs, mixtapes, Mediafire .zip files, Bandcamp profiles, split cassettes, and ringtones. Music consumption in South Florida shouldn't be confined by technicalities or "official release dates" — that would...

Backstage: Radio Promotion Days
State Rep. Joe Gibbons, who has been named the number-two Democrat in the Florida Legislature, was investigated for homestead fraud earlier this year -- and government records indicate he lied to officials during the probe. The Broward County Property Appraisers Office investigation also found that Gibbons' homestead in Hallandale Beach conflicted...
Some concerts should come with medical disclaimers akin to those found on videogames warning of epileptic seizures resulting from the ensuing visual bombardment.

More touring ruined by bad behavior for today: A wild night almost two years ago has finally caught up with R&B singer Lyfe Jennings. Back on October 19, 2008, Jennings reportedly got in a spat with manager/baby mama Joy Bounds, fired a few bullets, and was eventually apprehended by police...

I have to admit, I'm completely over "Best" lists. The raging -- sometimes infuriating -- argument over who makes the best burger, tacos, pizza, French fries, or fried bologna sandwiches is a hopelessly futile one to me. Why? Everyone has a different opinion -- none of which, quite frankly, is...
Tony Villegas arrived in Broward County Court this morning looking weary after more than two years in jail, his thin face hidden by a scruffy brown beard. He sat quietly, cuffed hands in his lap, wearing a black-and-white striped shirt that set him apart from the drab blue uniforms of...
