BAR SITE: Disciplinary reports, the Florida Bar announced last week, will no longer be forwarded by the US Postal Service. Instead, the Bar will put it on the 'net at flabar.org. And what can one learn by giving it a hit? Well, in recent court orders, the Florida Supreme Court suspended 23 attorneys, reprimanded seven and accepted the resignation of seven others. E-HIRING: Top officials at New World Network, a submarine broadband fiber-optic cable network provider connecting the Americas and the Caribbean, announced the hiring of several key employees: David W. Warnes, president and CEO; Peter Collins, chief technology officer; Eduardo Garcia, executive vice president of operations, and Pat Cowan, principal for sales and international relations. All will be based in Miami with the exception of Mr. Cowan, who will be based in Europe and the Caribbean, company officials said. KEYES LINK: The Keyes Co. Realtors, a large national real estate company with offices in South Florida, and Utah-based OnePipeline Inc., providing online loan origination technology, announced they've formed a strategic partnership. The two will work together along with Keyes' affiliate HomePartners Mortgage & Title to provide homebuyers with point-of-sale mortgage services. E-CRUISES: Costa Cruises has made Internet access available to passengers aboard CostaAtlantica and CostaVictoria, the first ships in the fleet to offer Internet access to passengers. Publicists say the ship's Internet Cafes offer state-of-the-art, 17-inch flat-screen computers with Internet access, e-mail and quickcam capabilities as well as electronic postcards. There are fees for all Internet usage. DIGITAL DIALOGUE: Miami-Dade Community College and the Minority E-Commerce Association are sponsoring free seminars monthly designed to help minority businesses cross the "digital divide" — the technology gap, say publicists, caused by lack of income, equipment, training and support. Minority E-Commerce is a national nonprofit that addresses minority business issues. Details: mdcc.edu. |
