• Please Stop Killing Our Coral Reefs, Thanks

  South Florida's coral reefs constitute the largest such ecosystem in the United States, and nationally they fuel a $4 billion a year industry that sustains up to 35,000 jobs. So caring for them is not just good environmental stewardship, its important to our economy. Time chronicles the two latest human-induced incidents of damage to the reefs, including one off Palm Beach that a diver called the worst he's ever seen. A cable line from a tugboat cut a swath in the reef around 200 yards long and

  I was just reading the latest installment of the Fresh Beer Times newsletter, put out bi-monthly by Fort Lauderdale's own distributor of fine, hopped products Fresh Beer, Inc, and I have to say that it kicks ass. It comes out on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, and covers everything from beer-related events to new selections to a complete run down all the latest arrivals at bars, restaurants, and supermarkets around Broward and Palm Beach counties.

• Naked Sushi - Smells Like Fish

  Nyotaimori, aka naked sushi, refers to the Japanese art of sushi served on a human body. Talk about your food looking at you while you eat -- but hey, rich people gotta find some way to liven up their dinner parties. I recently set out on a mission to find it in South Florida. It only took a few phone calls and a half hour, here's how it went down.

  Yes, it seems even Palm Beach can't escape the iron clutch of impending economic doom. Fortunes strip-mined by Bernie Madoff, trendy uber-boutiques slinking off Worth Avenue like mangy dogs, billionaires reduced to poverty-stricken multimillionaires. And now an affordable restaurant is heading for the streets-paved-with-18-carat gold island.Oh, the horror. . .

   South Florida loves Fat Joe; he seems to be here so often we can almost claim him as one of our own. So it was with some interest that I read this MTV News Mixtape Daily blog post on his latest album, Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2). But it was this quote that stopped me, about the track "Put You in the Game":"It's that real -- I try to get witty with the flow, the lyrics. It's produced by Schife out of Palm Beach -- incredible new producer out of Palm Beach," Joe explained. "T-Pain

  Palm Beach County circuit judge Krista Marx sat down with The Palm Beach Post and warned that crime , in the words of the paper, "is inexorably moving northward from Miami-Dade like red tide." Yes, because apparently crime is a mysterious and uncontrollable force of nature. Don't worry Marx assures her Palm Beach constituents (fun fact: 70% of whom are white) that the county isn't the crime ridden shit-hole that is Miami-Dade just yet but it'll be that way soon. After nearly 25 ye
