Jeff has proven himself and is well respected in his field. I trust you will find the content consistent with our mission of highlighting people and events, in addition to offering relevant editorial on subjects you have requested we delve into with your feedback over the years.

I believe this new format will exceed your expectations of what you are willing to bring into your home and leave on your coffee table. Just be careful of friends and family trying to take it to their home.

The Community Campaign Celebration is the Federation’s biggest fundraiser of the year,
traditionally drawing 600 to 1000 people. The event will be held at Signature Grand on Thursday, February 2, 2012, from 6 p.m to 9 p.m.
“Whether playing with ‘The Boss’ or Conan O’Brien, Max Weinberg is known and loved by so many fans of music,” said Eric B. Stillman, President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Broward County. “Between his works and his on-stage
performance, he’s certain to strike a familiar note with our members and guests.”
Weinberg, who speaks frequently to colleges and business groups, has been said to link his drumming style to the definition of seder, meaning order. It became central to his ideal that a good drummer serves his band’s music. The New York Times has called Weinberg “the rhythmic backbone of the E Street Band.” He innovated the jump blues style, and today – dressed in suit and tie – is one of the most visible and recorded drummers of the late 20th century. Since the premiere of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” in 1993 and later, “The Tonight Show,” his Max Weinberg 7 has been called
the “best band in late night TV” by The
Washington Post. He also has appeared on numerous “Late Night” comedy sketches. He also has performed at presidential inauguration galas, the Grammy Awards, and the 1995 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dedication in Cleveland, Ohio.
“Max joins a distinguished list of past speakers, including Joshua Malina from the TV show, The West
Wing, U.S. Senator and Florida son Bob Graham, Professor Alan Dershowitz, Gov. Charlie Crist and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel,” added Stillman. “His musical heritage and fan appreciation will make Max a perfect performer for the night’s festivities.”
Max Weinberg to Rock the Jewish FederationMAX WEINBERG, KN OWN BY MORE THAN A GENERATION OF MUSIC FANS AS THE DR UMMER OF BR UCE SPRINGSTEEN’S E STREET BAND AND LATER AS THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR WITH LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN AND THE TONIGHT SHOW, WILL SPEAK AT AND PERFORM FOR THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF BROWARD COUNTY’S COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN CELEBRATION .

Coined “50 Years of Rockin’ & Rollin” the unique benefit will
engage 21 South Florida charities and offer them an opportunity to raise funds for their organizations. Rita and Rick Case, the Rick Case Automotive Group, and the Signature Grand are underwriting the entire cost of the event, leaving the charities involved to participate in 100 percent of all the proceeds raised including sponsorships, table sales, silent auction, and live auction items. The event has been sold out since October 2011, at which time $800,000 in sponsorships alone had already been raised.
Rita and Rick set an original goal of raising $1 million for the participating
charities, which will clearly be exceeded.
This evening will be a tremendous celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and the founding of the Rick Case Automotive Group. More than 1,200 of South Florida’s most influential business, community, and philanthropic leaders will attend the rockin’ event which will include a cocktail reception, dinner, live and silent auction, and live entertainment. The Rick Case Automotive Group will donate a 2012 Acura TL, 2012 Honda Accord, 2012 Hyundai Sonata, 2012 Fiat 500, and a Honda VTX 1300 Cruiser Motorcycle to the live auction, where 100 percent of the bid price will be donated to the participating charity of the winning bidder’s choice.
Setting the stage for a memorable event will be two of the best “tribute”
bands in the country – a Beatles band from New York and a Beach Boys band from California – who will perform the rock-and-roll legends’ greatest hits of all time. Guests will dance the night away while enjoying some special surprises courtesy of the event’s presenting sponsor, Signature Grand.
“To have enjoyed so much success and happiness in our more than 25 years in South Florida couldn’t have been possible without our wonderful friends and community partners,” said Rick Case of the Rick Case Automotive Group. “So we wanted to show our sincere appreciation with a celebratory night of great food, great drinks, and, of course, great ‘60s music!”

SHERRIFFS OFFICE28JANUARYDEERFIELD

The 5th Annual Broward Sheriff’s Office Golf Tournament will be hosted
on Saturday, January 28 at the Deerfield Beach Country Club to benefit the Sheriff’s Foundation of Broward County Fallen Heroes Fund.
This year the Broward Sheriff’s Office Golf Tournament will honor fallen hero Sgt. Christopher Reyka, 51, who was shot and killed outside a Pompano Beach drug store early on the morning of August 10, 2007 while checking license plates for possible stolen vehicles. Reyka is survived by his wife Kim and four children: two daughters and two sons.
“When people realize that the golf tournament benefits the Fallen Heroes Fund and who it is supporting and helps then they open their wallets and really want
to contribute in any way possible,” Captain Rick Wierzbicki says.
“Sheriff Al Lamberti has been
totally supportive of this initiative and he attends the tournament which means a lot for the participants and the families of the fallen heroes,” Captain Wierzbicki adds.
The Fund provides support to the families of deputies and fire rescue personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This fund provides humanitarian assistance to the families and loved ones at the time of death of a deputy or a fire rescue officer, and to help the families with memorial arrangements if necessary.
Over the past four years, the golf tournament has generated more than $170,000 with more than $57,000 generated last year alone. The 2011 Tournament gathered 160 golfers and an additional 40 people attended the luncheon.
The list of sponsors grows each year and the Broward Sheriff’s Office is grateful to the community businesses and restaurants for their support. Captain Wierzbicki is particularly thankful to the Deerfield Country Club representatives Glen Frazier, Larry Wilson and Patty Hayes who played an instrumental role in establishing the Tournament in 2007
to benefit the Fallen Heroes Fund.Registration will begin at 9 a.m. and
the shotgun start is slated for 10 a.m. There will be food, music and fun for everyone with activities including prizes, raffles, auctions and contests such as the hole-in-one, longest drive and closest to the pin.
Deerfield Beach Mayor Peggy Noland is also scheduled to attend the golf tournament and she will participate in the golf ball drop contest.
Tournament attendees will have an opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for $20 per ticket and 250 numbered balls. Mayor Noland will be lifted 50 feet in a fire engine rescue bucket and will drop the bucket of golf balls onto the course. The ball that falls closest to the practice pin at the range will win the money 50/50 for the winner and the Fund.
Cost per golfer is $125, including the luncheon. Tickets cost $20.00 per person for the luncheon only.
For more information, including sponsorship opportunities, contact Captain Rick Wierzbicki at 954.849.6422 or email [email protected].

JA World at Huizenga Center at Broward College
Nestled in a corner of the Broward College campus in Coconut Creek sits JA World, a 59,500-square-foot facility designed to teach area studentsabout the nature of business andfinancial literacy. In fact, this is the
world’s largest Junior Achievement educational facility. In 2010, thisJA World reached 45,000 students through “experiential learning.” Every local student is taught to viewthe world of work, free enterprise and their possibilities for success in it.
Inside JA World, students in grades five and eight from Broward County and south Palm Beach County have a chance to learn through
real activities. For example, fifthgraders experience JA Biztown,a mini-city supported by trained instructors, where they take fullresponsibility for roles as proprietors,civic leaders and consumers. They operate and patronize businesses such as a newspaper, radio station, television station, bank, electric company, restaurant, real estate firm, professional offices, governmental offices and others. They then attemptto fulfill the goal of satisfying their customers, paying-off their business loans and realizing a profit at the conclusion of the business day.
Eighth graders experience JA Finance Park, where they get to see, touch and experience free enterprise
on their own terms. Students study differentfinancial decisions to be made, consider the options available, and construct a personal budget. Members of the community, includingbusinesses and parents, are actively involved in JA Finance Park as they assist students to achieve at their highest level.
They also are challenged to manage an assigned identity that includesmarital status, number of
children, annual income, education attained and job type. They prepare budgets (to include stock investment) and visit vendors to purchase housing, food, furniture,insurance, education, automobiles, and more. Earnings potential andcareer options are immediately associated with educational success. Researchers agree that the reality of budgeting and purchasing is the best
tool for linking school success withthe best careers.
In addition to these programs, JA World is used for a summer entrepreneur camp, adult evening economic education programs, community public lecture series andyoung entrepreneur club meetings. For additional information call (954) 979-7100.

This is a group of educational advocates who believethey can affect positive changes instudents’ attitudes, performance, andtheir future outlook.

CHANGING BANKS LANDSCAPEWHEN MANY BANKS AND OTHER LENDERS WERE MAKING SUB-PRIME MORTGAGES AND
COMPLEX ADJUSTABLE RATE LOANS SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BB&T KEPT FOCUSING ON THE OTHER LENDING IT HAD USED TO BUILD A HISTORY OF PROFITABILITY.
“Our goal has always been to help consumers and businesses achieve economic success and financial stability,” said Michael Oster, BB&T’s regional president for South Florida. “We didn’t see how making loans that a lot of people might not be able to pay would help them and us reach those goals.”
By staying its course with business lending and traditional mortgages, Winston-Salem, N.C.-based BB&T avoided the real estate problems that are still an issue for many banks. It also has continued to grow in Florida and other states.
In 2012, BB&T will become a bigger player in the fast-changing banking landscape in Broward County and around Florida. The
adjacent chart points to some key developments in how that landscape, and bank names, has kept changing since the 1980s.
The latest big change came on Nov. 1, when BB&T announced an agreement to buy BankAtlantic which has been the largest bank based in Broward.
When the deal is completed, likely in the spring of 2012, BB&T will move up from 11th to fourth place in deposits in Broward, It will have just over $2.5 billion in deposits at approximately 45 offices in the county.
The sale of BankAtlantic will leave Stonegate Bank as the largest bank headquartered in Broward. Stonegate, based in Fort Lauderdale, had $848 million in
TheBanking Name Game: How They Got Here
1984 Florida joins 11 other states and the District of Columbia in the Southeast Regional Compact, which permits mergers among banks in those states.
Late-1980’sThe S&L crisis and the fallout from the overbuilt commercial real estate market lead to the first modern era wave bank failures. Between 1989 and 1991, there were 1,180 bank failures including 63 based in Florida.
1997NationsBank buys Barnett, the Jacksonville-based bank that was the biggest in Florida.
Mid-1980’s Charlotte, N.C.-based NCNB begins buying banks around Florida. NCNB later changes its name to NationsBank.
1991Regulators take over Miami-based Southeast Bank, the biggest in South Florida, and sell it to Charlotte-based First Union.

CHANGING BANKS LANDSCAPE
assets on Sept. 30. That included business at its branches in several counties on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Stonegate opened in 2005. It quickly became profitable, and among Florida banks it has one of the lowest ratios of problem loans to total loans.
“We decided not to have speculative land and development loans as a major part of our business,” said David Seleski, Stonegate’s president and CEO.
A main reason behind the lingering banking crisis is the large number of loans that were made on condominiums and other housing projects that have not been completed.
Stonegate has what Seleski calls a diversified lending mix of commercial loans, residential mortgages and so-called “owner-occupied loans” for businesses to buy properties they use for their operations.
But many other South Florida-based banks are feeling stymied in their efforts to expand in those areas of lending, said Kenneth Thomas, president of bank consulting firm K. H. Thomas Associates in Miami.
Some of those banks are under enforcement actions from regulators, with orders that include increasing their capital-to-asset ratios and reducing the percentages of real estate loans in their portfolios. Basically, every dollar retained in capital is a dollar that a bank is not lending.
“They simply cannot do much lending since the focus must be on
cleaning up bad loans, not making any new ones,” Thomas said.
He added that some banks that are not under enforcement actions are being told by regulators to keep writing down the values of some loans that banks feel are fairly valued. That requires a bank to keep increasing its loan loss reserves, a step that reduces its earnings.
Amid these problems, Thomas expects that 2012 will be another year when bank failures and what he calls “shadow failures” with investment groups buying troubled banks will be a major story in Florida.
Thus, BB&T and several other large and well capitalized banks that are relative newcomers have the potential to play major roles in meeting South Florida’s growing demand for business loans and residential mortgages.
Chase, based in New York, and PNC, based in Pittsburgh, are prominent on that list. So is TD Bank, the U.S. subsidiary of Toronto Dominion Bank.
Those banks have expanded in South Florida primarily by buying banks from other states that had
2008Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, buys Wachovia which was experiencing financial problems. In 2011, it changes the signs on Florida offices.
2011Winston-Salem, N.C.-based BB&T agrees to buy Fort Lauderdale-based BankAtlantic, the biggest bank based in Broward County.
2001First Union merges into Wachovia Bank, also-based in North Carolina.
1998Nations Bank merges with Bank of America, based in San Francisco. They keep the B of A name, with headquarters in Charlotte.
2008 onwardThe crisis in residential lending and the housing market lead to a second wave of bank failures. In 2010, there were 157 bank failures, including 29 in Florida.
2009Regulators take over Coral Gables-based BankUnited, the biggest bank based in South Florida, because of problem mortgages. An investment group buys non-problem assets, puts in new capital and keeps the BankUnited names and branches.

branch networks in Broward and other counties. Several of their acquisitions were of failed banks through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., such as BB&T’s 2009 purchase of Alabama-based Colonial Bank.
BB&T and other newcomers “must overcome issues of ‘who are these guys?’ and ‘what do the initials stand for,?’” Thomas said.
He feels that BB&T has “built a good reputation” in its operations and added that it has been selective in buying banks.
BB&T has $168 billion in assets and is among the country’s 20 largest banks.
“We have the capital that some other banks might not have access to in the current market,” Oster said. “We can lend to large businesses and we lend to businesses of all sizes.”
Oster and other BB&T officials cannot discuss details of the
pending BankAtlantic merger because it requires approval from banking regulators.
One likelihood is that BB&T will succeed BankAtlantic with the naming rights at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.
“We are very interested in opportunities at the BankAtlantic Center and are in discussions with people there,” Oster said.
That added brand recognition could help BB&T in the South Florida market where Oster is finding “a more aggressive competition” in business lending among large and smaller banks that do not have capital problems.
Seleski said he has been seeing more competition among banks for commercial loans.
In the residential market he is finding that “about 60 percent of the sales are still cash.”
Seleski said that in 2005 he never would have expected that
Stonegate within seven years would become the largest bank headquartered in Broward.
He and Thomas each expect more future waves of bank name changes, mixed with mergers, in South Florida.
When the economy is strong it is a ripe time for start-ups, such as Stonegate in 2005, and for banks from other states to buy profitable banks in Florida.
During downturns, there will be more opportunities for banks like BB&T and Chase to buy failed banks in deals where the FDIC takes many of the problem loans.
The sale of BankAtlantic will leave just 16 banks with headquarters in Broward. Behind Stonegate as the largest as of Sept. 30 are Community Bank of Broward, based in Weston with $476 million in assets, and Regent Bank, based in Davie, with $447 million in assets.

REAL ESTATE STORYBuyers Appetite For $1 Million Houses On Rise In Eastern Broward CountyBUYERS HAVE AN INCREASED APPETITE FOR MILLION-DOLLAR HOUSES IN EASTERN BROWARD COUNTY.
For the first time in three years, the number of single-family houses in Eastern Broward County to resell for at least $1 million each is on the rise, with Fort Lauderdale, Hillsboro Beach, and Lighthouse Point leading the recovery.
In the first 11 months of 2011, at least eight single-family houses have resold for at least $5 million, with one home trading for nearly $7.8 million on Nurmi Drive in Fort Lauderdale, according to an analysis based on Florida Realtors association data.
A home on Hillsboro Mile in Hillsboro Beach resold for $7.7 million to rank as the second highest-priced transaction for a single-family house in Eastern Broward County in 2011.
The highest priced single-family house to resell in Lighthouse Point transacted for nearly $5.7 million in the Venetian Isles subdivision, according to the data.
Fueled by international buyers with strong foreign currencies and wealthy individuals attracted to deeply discounted South Florida luxury properties, the number of single-family house resales with a price tag of at least $1 million each in Eastern Broward County has increased by 28 percent on a year-over-year basis in 2011 compared
to the previous year of 2010. The number of single-family
house resale transactions for at least $1 million in 2011 is up 26 percent from 2009, according to the data.
In 2011, buyers purchased more than 190 single-family houses – an average of 17.4 per month - in Broward County east of Interstate 95 between January and Dec. 9, according to the data.
In the two previous years, buyers purchased 149 single-family
houses – an average of 13.5 per month - in 2010 and 151 properties – an average of 13.7 per month - in 2009.
The increasing number of resales comes as the median transaction price has held steady in 2011 at $1.55 million for the second consecutive year.
In the year 2009, the median resale price for a luxury single-family house in Eastern Broward County was $1.5 million, according to the data.

REAL ESTATE STORYDespite the increased velocity
of luxury house resales, Eastern Broward County is challenged with excess inventory of million dollar homes on the resale market.
As of Dec. 9, 2011, more than 430 single-family houses in Eastern Broward County were available for resale with an asking price of at least $1 million. The median asking price for the available inventory totaled $2.25 million, according to the data.
At the 2011 sales pace, Eastern Broward County has more than two years of single-family housing stock priced at $1 million or more available for purchase.
Prices for high-end housing product are likely to remain steady in Eastern Broward County until the available resale inventory shrinks, industry watchers said.
As the luxury product experiences a steady increase in resales, the market for lower priced single-family houses in Eastern Broward County is active.
Overall, buyers purchased nearly 2,900 single-family houses in Eastern Broward County in the first 11 months of 2011. In previous years, buyers purchased 2,950 houses in 2010 and 2,850 houses in 2009.
At the peak of the market in 2006, buyers purchased less than 1,950 single-family houses in Eastern Broward County.
The strong sales pace for single-family houses in Eastern Broward County is a reflection of weaker pricing today compared to the boom.
The median resale price for a single-family house transaction in Eastern Broward County was $162,500 in the first 11 months of
2011. Compare this to previous years when the median price for a single-family house was $155,000 in 2010 and $165,000 in 2009.
At the peak of the market in 2006, the median resales price for a house in Eastern Broward County was $350,000, according to the report.
It is unclear when resale prices could reverse course in Eastern Broward County.
At the current 2011 resales pace of nearly 265 single-family house transactions per month, Eastern Broward County has less than seven months of available inventory.
As of Dec. 9, 2011, less than 1,850 single-family houses were available for resale in Eastern Broward County, according to the report.
An additional 640 single-family houses in Eastern Broward County are under contract and waiting to transact.
Going forward, financing will be a key element to a recovery in the single-family house market in Eastern Broward County, industry watchers said.
Despite an increased willingness by lenders to consider financing houses in Eastern Broward County, many buyers have experienced various difficulties in obtaining mortgages, including appraisals that are reportedly coming in at values below contract prices, industry watchers said.

TECH GADGETSMaking sense of TECHNOLOGY; tools you can use in 2012
TECHNOLOGY - WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT.And yet, in today’s fast-paced world, it is becoming
more and more challenging to keep up with the latest gadgets, gizmo’s, apps and plug-ins.
“It seems like every time you turn around there’s something new that makes the old obsolete almost overnight,” says Heather Coleman, a travel consultant from Weston. “It’s hard to figure out what to invest in because it all changes so fast.”
Should I go with the Apple iPhone or Android? What about my beloved Blackberry? Is it still relevant?
In a world where there are thousands of apps, which ones are essential?
We asked readers to weigh-in on how to tame technology and help use it to improve your business, life and family. In fact, we used technology to write this story. Sources were found on Twitter, Linked-In, Stumble Upon, Quora, Facebook and HARO (Help a Reporter Out).
SMART PHONESWay back when, a smart phone was “smart” if it
had a calendar and email capabilities. Today, the bar is significantly higher as a result of ‘apps’ that exist for just about everything.

“I prefer the Apple iPhone becausethere are almost 250,000 apps in the iTunes store,” says Mark Segal, a sales representative from CoralSprings. “Last I checked Android hasonly 70,000 or so.”
But for others the sheer amount of apps can be overwhelming.
“It can be like an addiction,” says Roberta Edwards of Fort Lauderdale.“Aside from the cost, I find that I only use a few apps so I can still get by with my old Blackberry. My basic needsare email and a calendar, navigation and Google. I laugh at my friends who load their phones up with these apps. How much do we really need or use?It gets too complicated. I’m all aboutkeeping it simple.”
Paul Lorenzi and his wife/partner Hope dream of someday hitting it big by developing a popular app. The couple, who are spending the winter in Parkland, are big critics of the Android Market, because over half the apps in that store are free.
“Here we are trying to revive our economy and Google which rules the world is offering all of these free apps,” says Paul. “That makes it hard for innovators to make it. In the iPhone App Store, only a very small percentage of apps are free.”
“I want to serve both platforms,” adds Hope. “You cannot ignore the Android, they have such a large shareof the market.”
Most of the readers who responded to our queries gave the iPhone high marks for media, music, photos and movies. The iPhone also scores high for travel and kids’ stuff.
“My kids love my iPhone for the games,” says Constance Hendersonof Estero. “My husband calls it an expensive pacifier.”
Android is popular for socialnetworking and dining out.
As for the Blackberry, it appearsthe original monster of the category has lost some of its luster, if not theloyalty of some users.
“I’m loyal,” writes Sami Glazer of Coral Springs. “It’s been tough to be loyal and my friends flaunt their Droids and Apple’s all the time, but the Blackberry has been a loyal friendfor years and I’m rooting for them to get back on track.”
APPS FOR PRODUCTIVITY AND LIFE
So what are the apps that are essential to life, home and office?
We gathered some suggestions given by our readers and broke themdown for you.
MUSIC Mog, Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody
and Soundhound were mentioned in our informal survey.
Spotify, the British sensation, recently crossed the Atlantic andhas quickly earned a niche amongmusic lovers for its vast library. Butgaps remain; especially for loversof classic rock: For example: The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelinare conspicuous for their absenceon the site. But newer artists are onthe site and the offerings are broad and deep.
“If you’re willing to put up with the ads it’s free,” says Jack Stein of Weston. “And the ads aren’t too bad. Spotify has a ton of music and all the new albums available.”
Pandora, Rhapsody and Mog aresimilar to Spotify. Soundhound offers a feature for smart phones that allows users to speak an artist’s name and gain instant access to videos, lyrics, etc.

MICHELLE BETSFITNESS
New Year, New You!Don’t you love this time of year, you make all your New
Year’s resolutions and goals and really feel like you will meet them. I’m here to give you a little push start to turn those goals into reality. The holidays have come and gone, and most Americans have gained some extra pounds within the last few months. Follow these steps to stay on track this year and make 2012 the year you improve your health with exercise and a healthy diet.
Know what you want, know your goal. Write it down, be clear and precise. You also must know why you want to achieve your goal. You have to know where you are going in order to get there, so to speak. Once you do this, make a plan and stick to it.
When most people decide to improve their health and lose weight they think they need to spend five days a week in the

gym, so they put it off and make the excuse that they don’t have the time. As a fitness trainer and expert, I tell my clients to start out doing three days a week for 30-60 minutes. This is not a lot of time, this is for your health, and you can make this happen. Before you know it, you will want more and it will turn into more but begin slowly; slow and steady keeps the weight off for good.
If you don’t like going to the gym then do something fun that interests you. There are many classes and sports leagues out there, just make sure you get some exercise
in. I tell many couples to take a long walk or a jog every evening together. Doing this can improve your health and your relationship, costs no money, and requires no equipment. Make it a ritual. I swear to you, adopt exercise into your 2012 lifestyle and you will see a dramatic change in the way you feel; exercise gives you energy.
Now, I understand life gets hectic. Sometimes work hours go into overtime and business trips happen. If you are really pressed for time
then buy a jump rope. You can find a jump rope for under $10 and they are travel friendly. Take ten extra minutes in the morning to jump rope. Ten minutes of jumping rope can burn up to 120 calories; this will also raise your heart rate and get your body warm, which in turn will burn more calories throughout your day. Ten minutes in the morning…everybody has ten minutes.
Exercise is only half the battle in improving your health in 2012. Your diet plays an equal and vital role. I ask the clients I train to keep a food journal so we know when and what they are eating. This is a huge factor in weight loss and gain. You will be surprised to find that if you adapt a few simple rules to your food consumption it is easier to shed those pounds.
Eat something within 60 minutes of rising. The old saying breakfast is the most important part of your day is true. You need to eat within 60 minutes of rising to jump start your metabolism. This is so important! Please, I beg you to eat when you wake up...did I mention eat a healthy breakfast. I rotate between 3 healthy breakfasts, they are:
Low fat Greek yogurt, blueberries, almonds (protein, antioxidants, good fat)Oatmeal, blueberries, low fat milk (whole grains/fiber, antioxidants, good fat)One egg fried with olive oil, 1 piece of whole wheat bread, 2 slices of avocado (protein, whole grains/fiber, good fat)If you are pressed for time, at the bare minimum grab a
piece of fruit. Remember to eat something for breakfast and make it healthy. I can’t stress to you the importance of eating breakfast enough.
Eat five small meals a day. I know everyone has heard this over and over, but it’s essential for living a healthy lifestyle, losing weight and keeping it off. Eating five small meals a day keeps your metabolism up, because you are eating so frequently, you never feel hungry. You should never eat so much in a sitting that you feel stuffed, EVER! This stretches out your stomach and increases your appetite. Also, if you know you are going to be out a long while carry
healthy foods with you. I recommend pre-packaged servings of a healthy nut like almonds. If you buy pre-packaged then you will stay in portion control. Nuts are a great source of good fat your body needs, you just have to be careful you don’t over consume, which is why pre-packaged portions are fabulous.
Have healthy meals readily available in your refrigerator. At the beginning of every week I bake 4 large chicken breasts and 4 99% lean turkey burgers. I stick this lean, healthy, protein in the fridge so I know all I have to do is warm it up and it’s ready for me to nosh on. Choose lean cuts of protein like chicken breast, salmon, or turkey over fatty meats.
Incorporate colorful fruits and vegetables into your daily diet. A good rule of thumb is to look down at your plate, if you don’t see bright colors, add it. Greens like spinach and kale are wonderful for you. Red and green bell peppers are healthy and add a little spice. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, all of these wonderful berries are full of antioxidants. Whatever you choose, make sure it comes from the earth and is colorful.
I wish you good health in 2012. Start off the year right by exercising a minimum 3 times a week for 30-60 minutes. Always eat breakfast, choose lean protein, and add color to your meals. Five small meals a day will keep your metabolism up. Here’s to the New Year and the new you!
“EXERCISE IS ONLY HALF
THE BATTLE IN IMPROVING
YOUR HEALTH IN 2012. YOUR
DIET PLAYS AN EQUAL AND VITAL ROLE.”

10 TREASURES10SOMETIMES WE IGNORE THE TREASURES IN OUR OWN BACKYARDS. AS “SEASON” KICKS IN,
THE BULK OF ABOUT 11 million annual visitors FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
WILL FLOCK TO BROWARD COUNTY. Why?Here’s a hint: IT’S NOT JUST THE WEATHER. IT’S THE CULTURAL AMENITIES AS WELL.
YET, FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE AND WORK HERE DAILY LIFE CAN SOMETIMES GET IN THE WAY OF ENJOYING WHAT OTHERS TRAVEL THOUSANDS OF MILES TO EXPERIENCE.
Backyard Adventures to Start the New Year Right
In an effort, to start the New Year right, we have researched 10 gems in Broward County. Whether you explore one or all of them, we hope you’ll enjoy the many treasures that can be found within minutes of wherever you live. Please drop us a line and let us know about your experiences. Enjoy!
1THE ANNE KOLB NATURE CENTER AT WEST LAKE PARK751 Sheridan Street Hollywood, Florida Phone: 954-357-5161
Moonlit kayak rides among the mangroves and canals is just one option at this oasis just minutes from downtown Hollywood’s urban charms.
There are a number of ways to see the mangroves, wildlife and marine life that inhabit the Nature Center.
Kayaks are a popular way to see the canals and explore pockets of the park. A guided boat tour is also available. If you’re more comfortable on foot, there are two boardwalks that cross the mangrove. For spectacular views
of the park and the city’s skyline climb the 68 foot observation tower.
Park Rangers often joke that European visitors know more about the park and the local ecosystem than locals. That sounds like a challenge so put an afternoon at Anne Kolb on your “to-do” list this year.
INSIDER TIPS AND TRIVIA:The nature center was named
after Anne Kolb, a former Broward County Commissioner who was the first woman elected to the Broward Commission in 1974. Make sure to visit the Exhibition Hall which features a 3,500 gallon saltwater aquarium.
2 CENTRAL BROWARD REGIONAL PARK & STADIUM3700 N.W. 11th Place, Lauderhill, Florida. Phone: 954-357-5400
If you enjoy different types of sports, you’ll want to visit Central Broward Regional Park.
This 110-acre multi-purpose facility is famous for being the only
U.S. Cricket field certified by the International Cricket Council. The stadium has 5,000 seats and can accommodate up to 15,000 fans. If that sounds large, it is because cricket is extremely popular in parts of the world including the West Indies, where many Broward residents trace their roots.
Visitors can enjoy watching this exciting sport but also partake in other more conventional activities including basketball and a water playground (open March through October). The park also includes two lighted netball courts. Netball is derived from an early version of basketball and is popular in Commonwealth nations.
INSIDER TIPS AND TRIVIA:Pennsylvania-born, New York-
based artist Alice Aycock was commissioned in 2004 to design a water feature at the U.S. 441/State Road 7 entrance to the park. The project, “Whirls and Swirls and a Vortex on Water”, was completed in summer 2008 through the Broward County Public Art and Design program. The metal, steel, concrete, and acrylic sculpture hovers slightly above water in an elliptical-shaped pool. Massive metal ribbons spiral around an acrylic sphere that has an internal sculptural element, alongside a metal vortex that delves beneath the

3 GULFSTREAM PARK901 S. Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach, Florida Phone: (954) 454-7000
Gulfstream is South Florida’s premier thoroughbred racetrack and home of the foremost Triple Crown prep races including the $1 million Florida Derby. The nation’s finest 3-year old thoroughbreds, jockeys and trainers spend their winter at Gulfstream Park. Racing kicked off Dec. 3 and will run thru April 8, 2012.
But while racing is the park’s core activity, the Gulfstream experience is far more than thoroughbreds.
Adjacent to the historic track is a world-class casino with 850 slot machines, electronic table games and high stakes poker.
The “Village at Gulfstream Park” features nightlife, dining, entertainment, fashion and shopping.
INSIDER’S TIPS AND TRIVIA:Gulfstream has a rich history
dating to 1939. A whopping 21 Kentucky Derby winners have raced at Gulfstream.
If you want to experience Gulfstream in style consider a luxury suite: there are 22 on the third level, 11 flanking each side of Christine Lee’s, the popular
upscale restaurant that serves as the floor’s centerpiece. The suites are available by lease for the day, week or season.
4IGFA FISHING HALL OF FAME300 Gulf Stream Way Dania Beach, Florida. Phone: 954-922-4212
The largest fishing library in the world can be found at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame. Whether you love to fish or just to want to spend a day gawking at amazing exhibits and record catches, the IGFA Hall of Fame is for you.
The E. K. Harry Library of Fishes currently contains more than 15,000 books, from first editions of angling classics to the latest books in print; 150 outdoor and fishing magazines from many countries and in many languages (some of which go back to the 1930s); 2,100 videos, including classic fishing films from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s as well as thousands of slides and photographs ranging from historic record catches and exciting action shots of fish to famous anglers of yesterday and today and memorabilia from sport fishing greats.
If someone in your family loves to fish, this is nirvana.
But even if you aren’t an angling enthusiast there is plenty here to catch and hold your attention, including a beautiful facility and pictures of record catches that are almost hard to believe.
INSIDER’S TIPS AND TRIVIA:The 2011 Hall of Fame Class
features some interesting inductees including Buddy Merritt, who caught a record 16 Giant Tuna in one especially productive day.
5GONDOLA TOURFORT LAUDERDALE wouldn’t be called the “Venice of America” if it didn’t have gondola tours.
But how many of us have actually indulged?
Gondoliers are available 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for your gondola needs. Tours range from Casa Magnifico rides (featuring Lauderdale’s amazing homes) to romantic tours featuring “messages in a bottle”, your own romantic thoughts stored safely on parchment on the gondola awaiting the special moment.

INSIDER’S TIPS AND TRIVIA: Book early for Valentine’s Day,
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Patrons of the Las Olas Gondola are encouraged to bring their own beverages, since the gondolier does not offer their own.

10 TREASURES
Island it’s got to be good right?This 53-acre park is part of the
Great Florida Birding Trail and is considered among the most historic of Broward’s parks and natural areas.
Prehistoric materials excavated there provide evidence of habitation by subsistence cultures dating from approximately 500 B.C.E. through roughly A.D. 1000 to 1200. Archaeologists have also confirmed that, centuries later, the site was the camp of the Miccosukee leader Chitto Tustenuggee.
Also known as the Snake Warrior, Chitto Tustenuggee was designated by chief Sam Jones/Abiaka as his successor during the era of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), when U.S. government troops clashed with the various groups of Native Americans collectively known as Seminoles.
The park features an abundance of native vegetation and wildlife and is considered one of the best bird watching places you can find.
INSIDER’S TIPS AND TRIVIA:Historians have identified the
site as one of the earliest Seminole settlements in the eastern Everglades and speculate that it had been occupied for more than a dozen years before its Indian inhabitants were attacked and fled in 1841.
7 TENNECO TOWERSFor the diving enthusiast consider visiting Tenneco Towers, the largest artificial reef in
southeast Florida. Tenneco Towers was created in 1985 when Tenneco Oil sank its production platforms. It is located off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Queen Angels and Spanish Hogfish rule here. The smallest platform rests at 97 feet and rises to 65 feet underwater. The deepest platforms lie at 190 feet below the surface and rise to 80 feet.
INSIDER’S TIPS AND TRIVIA:Three of the platforms are within
recreational diving limits. When Hurricane Andrew stuck in August, 1992, it caused the two deep towers to list at close to a 45-degree angle. Visit a local dive shop and arrange an excursion.
8FORT LAUDERDALE ANTIQUE CAR MUSEUM1527 Packard Avenue (SW 1st Avenue)Ft. Lauderdale, FL Phone: 954 - 779 – 7300
The Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum was established as a non-profit foundation to ensure the preservation of the history of the Packard Motor Co., and to show the progress and development of skills in American engineering.
Founded by Arthur O. Stone, former CEO of Buning the Florist, the museum has assembled a collection of pre-war Packard automobiles and other memorabilia, which represents Mr. Stone’s love for this unique automobile.

Packard automobiles from 1900 to the 1940’s, along with a gallery dedicated to the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt plus several special collections of automobile memorabilia.
The oldest car in the museum is a 1909 Packard Model 18 Speedster.
9XTREME INDOOR CARTING5300 Powerline Rd., Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Phone: 954.491.6265

SHINO BAY ADVICE
THE NON-SURGICAL EYE LIFT, NECK LIFT, WRINKLES AND SKIN LAXITY REVISION!
This new procedure can be used to diminish and erase:
Pellevé is the long-awaitedsolution! In one short, easy, very comfortable treatment, you can experience a marked improvementin the appearance of fine lines, skintightening and wrinkles for up to six months! We are seeing wonderfulresults in as few as 1-4 treatments.
The technology of the Pellevésystem sets it apart from other wrinkle-reducing treatments. Whenyou are treated with Pellevé, a more focused Radio Frequency energy is delivered to areas of the skin where elasticity is lacking and lines havebegun to develop. This energy heats the skin, causing it to begin producing collagen. Collagen is a
key component in healthy, toned-looking skin.
It delivers heat to deep layersof the skin where fat resides. This“controlled focused energy” spursthe contraction of these deep tissuesfor an overall smoothing effect.
The heat energy also stimulatesthe production of new collagenover time, resulting in firmer, tighter,smoother skin. The practitioneradjusts the strength of the delivered energy based on feedback from thepatient throughout the session.
The Pellevé system requires noanesthesia and treatment can beconducted in as little as 15 minutesper area. We simply, apply a thinlayer of gel to your face prior totreatment. Most patonly a warming sensskin when the Pehand piece isapplied.
P a t i e n t s often report thatimmediately aftertreatment skin feetighter similar tBotox. When takes effect, mpatients ofte x p e r i e n ci m m e d i a t eresults, and areduction in the visibility of wrinkles at the tresites. Over the course of thenext six months, you will continue tosee smoother, more beautiful skin.
While many patients see resultsafter just one session of Pellevé, wemay recommend multiple treatmentsto help you achieve your optimalaesthetic goals. The total number of treatments can vary and is based onyour individual skin needs. It takes upto two months for the full effects of Pellevé to be seen.
There is no downtime or side
effects except the ocassional verymild swelling or redness whichnormally resides in an hour.

HOLISTIC FAMILY MEDICINE ADVICE“I WAS ALWAYS SKINNY BUT… now I don’t even recognize myself.” Jennifer pulled out some old college pictures from her purse. “See! This is what I used to look like!”
I nodded empathetically, realizing that Jennifer couldn’t believe what happened to her body, and she worried that no one else would believe it either.
“You looked pretty athletic. Let me guess, tennis?”
“I was varsity at Radcliffe. I still play six days a week.”
Jennifer continued, “Anyhow, you wouldn’t know it from looking at me. Ever since I had David eleven years ago, I’ve been gaining almost ten pounds every year.”
“Hmmm, your symptoms sound a lot like POSTPARTUM HASHIMOTO’S THYROIDITIS, where something related to pregnancy causes women to need more thyroid hormones than they can make on their own[1]”.
“They actually tested me for that. My doctors always told me my tests were normal.”
“There is a difference in having labs ‘in the reference range’ and having an ‘optimal thyroid state’. Dr. Leslie DeGroot, of Brown’s Alpert Medical School, described the ‘Dangerous Dogmas in Medicine’ as they relate to treatment of thyroid disorders[2]. Unfortunately, there are quite a few doctors out there that rely highly upon the gospel they were taught twenty years ago, without paying enough attention to new data, or their patient’s clinical symptoms.”
I continued taking my history. “So what have you tried to lose weight?”
“My diet was always pretty clean, so even when I tried going ‘low-carb’ or ‘low-fat’, it didn’t seem to make any difference. One health spa in Brazil cut me down to 300 Calories a day and had me exercise all day. I didn’t lose a pound!” Jennifer blushed a bit, “I’m ashamed to admit it, but I fall for whatever the latest diet fad that promises ’30 pounds in 30 days!’[3]”
“I’m glad you’ve realized that these bogus diet clinics should really say, ‘I lost $350 in two weeks! Ask me how!’ [4]”
“It was worse than that. One diet clinic sold me ‘vitamin supplements’ from their office pharmacy, but they really contained amphetamines, diuretics, laxatives, and other stuff I still don’t know what was in them. I had the worst palpitations, headaches and I couldn’t sleep through the night[5]. My primary had to put me on anti-depressants for six months to handle the withdrawal symptoms after I stopped them.”
“I’m glad you survived that ordeal, but honestly, you got off lucky. Crash diets are known to cause hair loss (sometimes permanent), muscle weakness, and potentially fatal heart arrhythmias[6]. The latest diet craze, the ‘HCG Diet’, is nothing new; it was debunked back in the 1970’s as a fraudulent scheme by doctors to exploit their patients for financial gain [7]. Just last October, the Texas Attorney General forced hCG clinics in that state to stop defrauding patients with their unethical marketing tactics [8].”
“Well, I’ve finally decided to make my health a priority. I checked you out on www.vitals.com,
so I know you are board-certified and legit. So what are you going to do for me?”
“I scheduled 80-minutes with you today, so I have plenty of time to do a complete history and physical exam. There are some tests I would like done to pin down exactly what is going on with your metabolism. Untreated thyroid disorders can lead to pre-diabetes, and that can also lead to weight gain[9].”
Jennifer did test positive for hypothyroidism and insulin resistance, as well as a low metabolic rate measured by indirect calorimetry[10]. After being put on a regimen of behavior changes, diet, exercise, OTC supplements, and prescription medications, steadily, but surely, her weight decreased an average of two pounds per week until she lost the 60 pounds she put on over the last ten years.
“Dr. Woliner, ever since you fixed my metabolism, I’m not hungry anymore. Really, I don’t even feel like I’m on a diet. I just eat normally.”
COULD YOU HAVE A SLOW METABOLISM?

ROGER STEWART ADVICE
Fraxel Treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure that allows you to rediscover the fresh, healthy skin of your youth with results you can see and feel.
Exciting news for men and women that have sun damage, wrinkles or other signs of age!
Fraxel Treatment is a revolutionary laser treatment that helps you remove years from your appearance and regain a more youthful look. Fraxel delivers remarkable results with fast recovery. A FAMILY OF TREATMENTS TO FIT YOUR LIFESTYLE.
The most minimally invasive treatment, Fraxel Re:pair can produce dramatic improvement for severely damaged skin. The treatment tightens skin and wrinkles, irregular texture, age spots/ sunspots, and sun-induced redness. This is a single treatment procedure and will require 5 to 7 days of downtime and after treatment. No down time treatments, like Fraxel Re:store or Fraxel Re:fine can produce significant results for
mild to moderately damaged skin over the course of 3 or more treatments. These will prevent the signs of aging so you can maintain a youthful look with lessening lines around the eyes, pigment irregularities, and uneven skin tones. Most return to routine activities the very same day. *The range of treatments varies in aggressiveness, downtime, number of procedures needed and results.
Who is that person in the mirror? It’s still you but because your skin changes as you age, you may look differently depending on your place in life. The good news is the earlier you start taking care of your skin, the more damage you can prevent.

CLOSING TIMEAND another thing...
Do you know how to read musical notation? If you do, you know that when you’re reading music you’re actually reading at least two things simultaneously. Because written music tells you what note to play and exactly when to play it.
Written language, on the other hand, only tells you one thing — what letter to pronounce. Of course, punctuation helps indicate pacing — pause at a comma, stop at a period, I’m not really sure what to do at a semicolon — but it’s still up to you to interpret how the author wanted the piece paced and emphasized.
For example, read the following sentences aloud and place your emphasis on the boldfaced capitalized words. You’ll see how the pacing — and the meaning — can change based on where you choose to place the emphasis.
I didn’t say you should leave now.I DIDN’T say you should leave now.I didn’t SAY you should leave now.I didn’t say YOU should leave now.I didn’t say you SHOULD leave now.I didn’t say you should LEAVE now.I didn’t say you should leave NOW.As you just saw, the same sentence can be interpreted
seven different ways depending on how you pronounce the words. And the author gives you no instruction as to what the proper interpretation should actually be.
Music notation is not like that. The composer provides the musician with the note to play, the time signature to play it in, the exact moment each note should be played, the way the note should be attacked, and the volume with which the note should be played. That’s why an entire orchestra can play a piece of music simultaneously and get it mostly right on the first reading. Of course the conductor can add flavorings and nuance, as can each player, but the basic structure still provides instructions for every part of the composition.
At the same time, musical notation has a way to allow the musician to add his or her own ideas to the piece. Here the composer might suggest what the musician should play but also provides for the instrumentalists to create their own music and explore their own musical ideas by playing what they feel, and hopefully, what fits into the structure of what the rest of the ensemble is doing. Needless to say, musicians, composers, and music producers have very specific terms for this activity of making it up as you go along. In jazz music, the proper jargon is improvisation. In country music it’s called making it up as you go along.
Ironically, written language, which doesn’t put nearly the same restraints on interpretation of prose, makes no accommodation for preplanned spontaneity. Sure, a rabbi
or minister might halt their liturgical reading to allow parishioners to riff on a theme (the clergy call it private mediation) but when was the last time you were reading a novel and the author inserted a few blank pages for you to add your own thoughts? There’s just no room for readers to add their own words to a written piece.
That’s why sarcasm and irony seldom works well in print or online advertising. It’s one thing for the copywriter to add their own dramatic inflection to a headline when they present it to a client, but it’s quite another to expect a reader to add that same emphasis. Instead, the language of ads must be clear, simple, and to the point. Hopefully this will cause an emotional response without depending on a specific interpretive performance from the reader.
Politicians, too, get tripped up by using emphasis on certain words that makes sense when they’re giving a speech but lose all meaning when they’re quoted in print. And as we’ve seen lately, many politicians’ language trips them up when they lie or flip-flop, but that’s a whole other issue.
Just imagine if Gershwin had e-mailed the lyrics of his famous song to his manager:
“You like potato and I like potato,You like tomato and I like tomato,Potato, potato, tomato, tomato,Let’s call the whole thing off.”Say what? Call the whole thing
off just because we use the same words? What’s up with that? Clearly something was lost in the translation.
THE SIMPLE PRECISION OF LANGUAGE
