Broadcasting icon Fritz Coleman, weatherman for Channel 4 News, who also covered the holiday lights displays last Christmas in Eagle Hills, will be featured in a one-man show at the Curtis Theatre in his comedian role on May 18 and 19.
He told me it is all new material and a really good show. In a masterful evening of theatrical stand-up, Fritz delivers a humor-filled perspective on the trials and triumphs of aging. He puts on a great show. Call the Curtis Theatre at 714-990-7722 for tickets.
Vocaldente, a cappella quintet from Hanover, Germany performed recently at the Curtis Theatre. The quintet has enchanted audiences in Asia and Europe and the United States. The Brea audience enjoyed the charming cappella group and kept time to the music throughout their performance that included Roaring Twenties to contemporary pop music. They were funny, fantastic and fun.

Give a hand for the bands
The award-winning Brea Junior High bands have done it again! The 2013 BJH Concert Band performed at the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association concert festival at Garden Grove High School.
The band played three selections for a panel of judges which among other things, was looking at sight reading, in which the band must play a piece of music that they have never seen nor heard before with only four-minutes to prepare. The Concert Band earned ratings of Superior, the highest possible rating, from every judge. This coveted Unanimous Superior rating is rarely earned, especially by junior high groups.

Borussia Dortmund 3 Shakhtar Donetsk 0. German giants make it through to the quarter-finals. They were very impressive again and will fancy their chances of going all the way this season.
Ball in the hands of Weidenfeller, who falls to the turf. Cheers from the stands. Dortmund fans ready to erupt.
Just one minute of stoppage-time to be played, despite five subs.
Dortmund look like they will get their clean sheet. Piszczek putting in a couple of challenges down their left to keep Shakhtar at arm's length.
Adriano flagged offside. He has had virtually no service all night. Just a matter of seeing out the clock now, with neither side busting a gut.
Gotze invites Piszczek forward from full-back, He has time and space to pick a cross, but gets underneath the ball and sends it far too high for those in the middle.
Another yellow wave surges forward. Reus looks for Lewandwoski, but he runs in behind two defenders and the final pass becomes impossible.
Shakhtar chasing shadows a bit at the moment. Dortmund working the ball all over the pitch. They have been impressive tonight and not too many sides will fancy drawing them in the quarter-finals.
Srna drills over a low cross, which Subotic stretches to clear. Dortmund still sending plenty of men forward when they attack. They are, however, prepared to keep the ball rather than press for a fourth.
Shakhtar have also made a switch. Stepanenko has been sent on in place of Hubschman. Nothing can help them alter the course of this tie.
Adriano beats the offside trap, but still can't pull one back for Shakhtar. He is in on goal, as a Fernandinho effort breaks his way, but he is stopped by a sprawling save from Weidenfeller.
Dortmund send on Sahin in place of Gundogan. A man who started the season at Liverpool heading for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Changes being readied by both sides. On the field, Shakhtar knocking on the door, but it won't open. Lewandowski still posing a threat on the counter and will be determined to get in on the act.
Would have been a great goal by Reus had he found the target. He cuts inside off the right flank, skips past a couple of challenges but then loses his footing at the wrong time and ends up slicing wide from eight yards out. Great run, unfortunate finish.
The lively Costa is involved again for the visitors. He lifts the ball over Kehl, but is halted by Subotic. Dortmund move forward again. Gundogan has a yard of space 25 yards from goal, but sees a heavy touch let him down.
Grosskreutz thinks he has won a throw. Assistant referee thinks about his decision for about 30 seconds, and then gives the ball to Shakhtar.
Quality from Gundogan as he races back to put in a last-ditch challenge on Costa. He concedes a corner. Dortmund fail to clear their lines, but have enough bodies in the way to prevent Rakitskiy from pulling a goal back.
Schmelzer prevents Alex from skipping past him. Referee having words with those on the bench. A few of the coaches are getting a bit excited.
Subotic climbs highest to try and get something on the corner. He fails and ends up crashing back down to earth. Fair play to him, be bounces back up and races back into position.
Nice football from Shakhtar, but they are then caught short at the back. Dortmund make a mess of their counter, but are able to work the ball to Grosskreutz. He sees a curling effort touched around the post by Pyatov.
Shakhtar still looking to play their way out. Pyatov plays a goal kick square, that's how desperate they are not to go long. Credit to them for sticking to their guns.
Piszczek appears to handle, as he grapples with Adriano. Nothing given. Shakhtar have had no luck tonight. Touch was just outside the box.
Kucher fires wide to Costa, but his first touch takes him backwards. Shakhtar have lost their shape a little after starting the half so brightly.
Another change by Dortmund, as they send on Grosskreutz in place of Blaszczykowski. Just a case of mixing things up now for the German champions.
Poor from Rakitskiy as he fires a pass out to the left far too high. Costa left standing with his hands on his hips. It's been that kind of a night for the visitors.
Shakhtar allowed the ball inside their own half now. Kucher tries to take them forward, but is then caught in possession. Gotze floats a cross towards Lewandowski, but Rat is able to glance clear.
Costa with a smart twist and turn on the left flank. His cross then lets him down and is easily cut out. Dortmund are determined to keep a clean sheet.
Costa thinks he has kept a Srna cross alive at the back post, but the assistant referee disagrees and a goal kick is awarded. Weidenfeller in no rush again to get the ball back in play.
Shakhtar still pressing, but it's not happening for them. They do win a free-kick in midfield, but well wide on their right. They opt against sending the ball long into the box.
Rakitskiy involved again as he comes through the back of Lewandowski. Dortmund take the free-kick quickly, with Gotze sprung on goal. He suffers a rush of blood and hammers high over the top.
Shakhtar force a corner. Fernandinho does send this one into the box. It is glanced on at the near post and Rakitskiy is on hand to plant a header straight at Weidenfeller from 12 yards out.
Shakhtar looks deflated, and well they might. They were poor first half and have then seen a mistake from their keeper end the tie as a contest. They will be back.
Weidenfeller taking his time with a goal kick. Dortmund have wrapped this up and can now play at their own pace. Home supporters have already started the party.
Shakhtar had worked so hard to keep themselves in the tie, but are now heading out. They need to find four goals to keep themselves in the Champions League. Not going to happen.
GOAL DORTMUND - BLASZCZYKOWSKI. Pyatov with a horror moment. He is right behind a shot from Gundogan, but spills the ball into the path of Blaszczykowski, who rounds the Shakhtar keeper and calmly slots home. Game over.
Dortmund looked a bit more solid at the back now. They are getting two banks of four behind the ball. They then look to spring clear when they break up play.
Gotze delivers high from the set-piece. Commanding from Pyatov as he comes through the crowd to pluck the ball out of the air. End-to-end in the second half so far.
Kucher commits yet another foul. He is treading on thin ice. Reus whips over the free-kick. Great delivery curling into the box which Santana is inches away from getting a touch to. Dortmund keep up the pressure and Gotze wins a corner.
Shakhtar can't threaten on the this occasion. Lewandowski takes a tumble as he runs clear, but goes down far too early. Rat bombs down the left for the visitors, but sees a cross deflected into the arms of Weidenfeller.
Reus sent sprawling 25 yards from goal by Kucher, who has already been booked. He checked his man as he cut across the edge of the box. Reus takes himself. He gets the ball around the wall, but Pyatov watches it all the way.
Mkhitaryan gets to the dead-ball line, but runs out of room and can't get a cross in. He has been Shakhtar's talisman this season, but has been very quiet so far tonight.
Gotze escapes in behind Rat. His final cross is poor and trickles along the ground. Shakhtar look to spring out. Adriano crowded out by four defenders on the edge of the box. Santana can hack clear.
Dortmund's turn to attack. Gotze and Blaszczykowski combine, but are unable to see the ball on to Lewandowski. Shakhtar looking better all over the park since the break.
Alex with an opportunity this time. He has to take a touch to set himself, allowing Piszczek to get in a block. Dortmund now looking shaky at the back. Fernandinho the next to get through, but he is forced wide and sees Weidenfeller block at his feet.
Costa with another sight of goal. This time he can get a shot in. Adriano with great hold up play, before teeing up Costa. He drills across goal and inches wide of the post. Much better from Shakhtar.
Reus allowed to cut inside from the left. He finds the feet of Gotze, but he treads on the ball. Costa leads the Shakhtar charge. Great pace as he gets into the box, but can't get a shot away.
Shakhtar looking to get more men over halfway. Adriano links up with Costa, but the move then breaks down. The visitors have to get the ball into their striker more often.
Kehl has taken the armband for Dortmund. Weidenfeller began the night as their skipper. Hosts immediately onto the front foot, with Reus looking to slip through.
Dortmund get the second half underway.
Shakhtar also make a change, with Taison making way for Costa.
Change for Dortmund at the interval, with Kehl coming on in place of Bender.
The players are back out and we are ready for the off once more. Expecting to get a few more goals here.
Remember you can also bet in-play at Skybet.com. Shakhtar are 16/1 to claw back a 2-2 draw and take the tie to extra time. But Dortmund look in full control and Sky Bet go 9/2 that Lewandowski scores the next goal.
How do you see the second half going? Get your thoughts in to email@example.com or @SkySportsChrisB.
Borussia Dortmund 2 Shakhtar Donetsk 0. The German champions in complete control.The visitors require a miracle if they are to make the quarter-finals.
Hosts happy to go in two goals to the good. They are looking to see out the final few seconds. Shakhar create their best chance, with Fernandinho firing over a cross-shot which has to be parried behind. Shakhtar then waste another set-piece.
One minute of stoppage-time to be played.
Shakhtar not helping themselves. Pyatov tries to dink a pass to Rat, but ends up floating the ball over his head. Dortmund win an attacking throw without even trying.
Srna bursts down the right for Shakhtar. Positive from the skipper and his cross has to be nodded behind. Srna takes the set-piece. He finds Kucher at the back post. His initial header is blocked but the ball falls back to him, and he lashes over the top.
Lewandowski delays too long after being freed by Reus. He takes one too many touches and allows Hubschman to get back at him and block behind for a corner. Set-piece is only cleared as far as Piszczek, who hammers high into the stands from 20 yards out.
Reus with a clever move across the edge of the box. He is drifting into spaces where he isn't being picked up - in between Shakhatr's back four and their midfield. His efforts come to nothing.
Rakitskiy runs the ball out for Shakhtar. They do go long this time, and Dortmund can only half clear. No way through for Alex and he is soon chasing back towards his own goal.
Fernandinho forced to go backwards this time. He has seen as much of the ball as anyone for Shahktar, and he is a holding midfielder. Tells it's own story.
Dortmund still pressing inside the Shakhtar half. No chance of them shutting up shop and taking what they have. Shakhtar have to start forcing the issue. Fernandinho gives the ball away to Bender.
That should be game and tie over. Shakhtar now have a mountain to climb. Looking at Dortmund, they could get a few more yet and run riot. They look a top side.
GOAL DORTMUND - GOTZE. Lewandowski pulls wide to the right this time. He gets his head up and fizzes over a cross which Gotze attacks and is able to steer across goal and into the bottom corner.
Stats telling us that Dortmund have already played twice as many passes as Shakhtar. You would expect the home side to control things, but they are really dominating. Concerning for Shakhtar.
Reus eager to get the ball onto his right foot on the edge of the box. He manages to, but then sees a shot blocked at source. Corner to Dortmund. Santana gets another touch in the middle, but this time he can't leap high enough.
Blaszczkkowski drifts past Rat with ease. He drills over a cross, which is put put for a throw. Piszczek tries to go long, but Shakhtar deal with the aerial threat.
Taison can't pick out a run from Mkhitaryan. Shakhtar still dangerous going forward. Dortmund can now sit a little deeper. They are looking for a second, though. Piszczek halted in his tracks on this occasion.
Dortmund pressing again. Shakhtar rattled. They know that they now need at least two goals tonight if they are to keep their hopes alive. Big ask.
GOAL DORTMUND - SANTANA. The hosts break the deadlock and take complete control of the tie. The corner is swung into the box by Gotze and Santana rises above his man to power a header into the top corner. Pyatov rooted to the spot.
Home support take the volume up a notch. They have seen their side dominate, without really threatening. Game still hanging in the balance. As I say that, Gotze slips into the box and sees a shot flick off Rat and behind.
Dortmund slip back into their passing game. They are prepared to slow things down, mix up the pace. Shakhtar taking a bit of breather.
Piszczek flying forward again. He is picked out breaking into the box and has a clear sight of goal. He tries to knock the ball square rather than shoot and the opportunity is lost. Didn't back himself to hit the target. Should have done.
Taison drifts out to the right this time. Shakhtar work the ball back to the other side. Alex whips over a dangerous cross, which Subotic just about manages to nod clear.
Kucher pushing his luck. as Dortmund look to clear, he races in a with a high boot. Needles as Shakhtar had the hosts pegged back. Dortmund edge forward, and Schmelzer is felled by Fernandinho.
Better from Shakhtar as they push Dortmund back. Fernandinho works a yard inside the box, and sees a low effort deflected behind. Srna hangs over the set-piece, and Rakitskiy rises highest in the middle. He glances the ball away from goal.
One pass too many from Shakhatr inside their own half. Rakitskiy sends it out of play. Dortmund work the ball to Bender, but he sees his cross nodded to safety.
Dortmund seeing so much of the ball. Santana sends it long, but Srna is able to block off Gotze and prevent him from escaping down the Dortmund right.
Shakhtar allowing Dortmund far too much time on the ball inside their own half. The visitors are only interested when the hosts cross halfway.
Up at the other end. Shakhtar win a free-kick wide on their left. Schmelzer takes no chances as the ball is curled in and volleys over. Alex plays the corner short, and the visitors are forced backwards.
Rakitskiy clashes with Lewandowski. Dortmund striker goes to ground, but is waved back to his feet. Not a decision that is welcomed by the home support. Looking at it again, the Shakhtar defender hung out a leg and is fortunate.
Fernandinho cuts out a pass towards Reus, but concedes a corner. Reus over the set-piece himself, but his delivery is nodded clear at the near post. Dortmund with a number of plays pushed forward, but Shakhtar can't break on them.
Space for Bender to set his sights 25 yards from goal. Wild effort in the end from the Dortmund midfielder, as he fires high into the stands. Right choice, poor effort.
Sloppy from Taison as Shakhtar counter. He is looking along the line, but sets off far too early and when Adriano sends a pass in his direction he has drifted a good few yards offside. Flag goes up.
Gundogan involved for Dortmund as he looks right and then left. Nothing doing to start with. Eventually Schmelzer is freed down the left. He sends over a dangerous cross, which Gotze almost reaches.
Kucher cautioned for a cynical foul on Lewandowski. He hauled the Dortmund striker to the turf after seeing him slip past him. Kucher will need to tread carefully from now on.
Srna sent tumbling. Free-kick to Shakhtar inside their own half. Credit to the visitors, they are still trying to play their way forward. They haven't sent many long balls forward as yet.
Break in play as Kucher requires treatment. He hobbles off holding his shin, but should be okay to continue. Back underway, with Shakhtar returning the ball to Weidenfeller.
Gotze able to spin and face the goal 30 yards out. He slips a pass into the feet of Lewandowski, who has a sight of goal for a moment. The door is soon slammed in his face by Pyatov and Kucher. Brave defending.
Long throw from Piszczek, but he can only find the head of Rakitskiy. Shakhtar break at pace, with Mkhitaryan leading the charge. He opts to cross rather than shoot from inside the box, and sees Dortmund get players back.
Hubshman trips Reus as he drifts into space behind Srna. Dortmund take the free-kick short. They had the option to throw the ball into the box from wide on their left.
Kucher taking no prisoners as he crashes into Schmelzer. Nothing given. Tough but fair from the Shakhtar man. Dortmund once again look to their right, but the final ball lets them down.
Bender skips away from one challenge, but puts too much on a pass sprayed out to the right towards Piszczek. Shakhtar can't get out of their own half. Dortmund working very hard early on.
Shakhter prepared to play their way out from the back, but Dortmund are pressing much higher up the field. When the ball is sent down the left flank for Taison, his first touch lets him down.
Pyatov given plenty of time to hammer down field. Adriano unable to get a touch to a long ball forward. Dortmund back on the ball, and looking very comfortable on it.
Positive run from Gotze again, as he drifts down the right flank. He is able to force another corner. Dortmund take it short, but when they fire the ball into the box it is cleared. Santana fells Fernandino as Shakhtar attempt to edge away from their own box.
Blaszczykowski comes through Rat to get to the ball. Free-kick to Shakhtar inside their own half. Visitors yet to get going. Gotze is soon running the ball back at them. Piszczek fires over another cross, which is cleared.
Reus skips away from his man, before playing a one-two with Lewandowski. Reus hangs over a cross, which Kucher takes no chances with and nods behind. Schmelzer over the set-piece. Lewandowksi gets a head to the ball, but doesn't make great contact.
Piszczek pushes well forward, but can't free Gotze into space beyond him. Shakhtar able to break, but Adriano has three yellow shirts in front of him and his crowded out.
Schmelzer flies into an early challenge, sending the ball spinning out of play. Dortmund, when back in possession, look to get things on the deck. Both sides like to play their football.
Shakhtar get us up and running.
Champions League anthem rings out around the stadium. Bound to be a few nerves out there, but both sides have a great chance to edge a step closer to Wembley here.
Great atmosphere in Dortmund. The fans are ready, and the players are too. They are now in the tunnel and we are almost ready for the off. There will be further opportunities to offer feedback at half-time and at the final whistle.
Timal believes the hosts will prevail tonight, saying: "BVB one of best in the league this season for me. They will win tonight 2-0. Lewendoski will start scoring & then Gotze will score second. Here we go BVB."
Tonight's referee is Damir Skomina from Slovenia.
Shakhtar Donetsk team: Pyatov, Kucher, Rat, Rakitskiy, Hubschman, Fernandinho, Teixeira, Srna, Adriano, Mkhitaryan, Taison SUBS: Kanibolotskiy, Kryvtsov, Stepanenko, Kobin, Gai, Costa, Eduardo.
Borussia Dortmund team: Weidenfeller, Subotic, Piszczek, Santana, Schmelzer, Bender, Gundogan, Gotze, Reus, Blaszczykowski, Lewandowski SUBS: Langerak, Kehl, Leitner, Sahin, Grosskreutz, Bittencourt, Schieber.
You can also bet in-play throughout the game at Skybet.com. Dortmund start as strong favourites at 4/7, with Shakhtar 9/2 and the draw 16/5. You can get 40/1 on the visitors to go through on penalties.
Dortmund have been tipped by some to go all the way, so should we expect them to sail through? Can Shakhtar spring a surprise? Who will be the men to watch? Let me know your thoughts.
Feel free to offer your opinion on tonight's game by contacting me direct at firstname.lastname@example.com or @SkySportsChrisB.
Dortmund will feel that two away goals offer them the upper-hand, but Shakhtar are a forward-thinking outfit and will not be daunted by the challenge which awaits them in Germany.
The two sides played out a 2-2 draw in the initial meeting in the Ukraine, meaning there is still all to play for.
Welcome to the BVB Stadion for our coverage of tonight's UEFA Champions League last-16 second leg encounter between Borussia Dortmund and Shakhtar Donetsk.

My patrons pick these off the shelf before any others. I believe the symmetry and color are what is most appealing. We recently received, so I'm anxious to see their lasting quality.These belts work great, but some of our more water fearful clients would like to see them longer for added assurance and to keep the belts from digging into skin.I love these belts.

Your comment has been posted.
I am a water fitness instructor but I also enjoy taking classes. I purchased this belt to use in deep water classes (10 feet deep). The foam padding is soft and squishy unlike some belts which dig into my ribs. My biggest complaint is the strap/belt. It's made of elastic so the belt rides up a lot because of the stretchiness. I intend to replace the belt portion with something that doesn't stretch.
The belt is easy to use, adjust, and it dries quickly. It tends to ride up under the armpits if you use it in 4 feet or less water, stays where it belongs in deeper water.
I use this belt for water exercising , shallow and deep water, as a non-swimmer I feel totally safe with this belt. I have tried many different kinds where I use the pool and they always chaffed under the arms or slipped up. At first I was concerned because I am a large woman and the belt was only long enough to barely cover my back. But no problem, it holds me up securely and does not rub or annoy any part of my body. Sometimes I even forget I have it on. LOVE IT!!! Marked as one of the best investments I have made.
I use the Aqua Sphere belt 6 days a week. I love the softness of this belt. I only have one problem with it and that is it floats up underneath the bottom in the back, but it is manageable. I did recommend it to my friend and she purchased one as well and uses it quite often. That is the only complaint she has as well. We like the stretchy strap, the lightweight feel, and the color.

Smith, A.S.T.; (2012) Development and characterisation of a novel myotube-motoneuron 3D co-culture system. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
The aim of this Thesis was to characterise the behaviour and interaction of primary muscle derived cells (MDCs) and motoneurons within a collagen-based 3D in vitro culture system. Cells cultured under uniaxial tension within 3D collagen matrices are known to selforientate along the lines of principle strain. In the case of skeletal muscle cells, this leads to the formation of aligned myotubes, thereby generating cultures which more closely recapitulate the architecture of in vivo muscle. Since maturation of muscle in vivo is dependent on functional innervation, integration of this model with a physiologically correct neural input would further improve both the accuracy and complexity of the in vitro construct. Furthermore, reliable neuromuscular junction formation in 3D culture could have substantial benefits for the study of neuromuscular disease and the testing of novel therapeutic agents. The behaviour of primary rat MDCs within an established collagen-based 3D culture system was optimised and subsequently characterised. A comparison of this model to conventional 2D cell culture techniques was carried out using immunohistochemical and PCR analysis. Investigation of myogenin expression levels over a three week culture period in both 2D and 3D found no significant differences between the two systems, indicating a conserved ability for MDC differentiation in both models. Immunohistochemical data illustrated the alignment of uniaxial myotubes in 3D compared with randomly orientated and branched myotubes in conventional culture, demonstrating the improved biomimicity of myotubes developed in 3D and under directional tension. The presence of motoneurons within the 3D co-culture was found to promote maturation of the MDCs as indicated by levels of macroscopic construct contraction and by quantitative PCR analysis. Co-localisation of pre- and post- synaptic markers in culture indicated the presence of putative synaptic contacts within the model. The model presented in this Thesis represents a step forward in the development of physiologically accurate in vitro models of skeletal muscle, which may help in future investigations of skeletal muscle development, physiology and pathology.

Gabelli Utility Trust Continues Monthly Distributions, Declaring Distributions of $0.05 Per Share Business Wire RYE, N.Y. -- November 19, 2012 The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Utility Trust (NYSE:GUT) (the "Fund") approved the continuation of its policy of paying fixed monthly cash distributions. The Board of Trustees declared cash distributions of $0.05 per share for each of January, February, and March 2013. The distribution for January 2013 will be payable on January 24, 2013 to common shareholders of record on January 16, 2013. The distribution for February 2013 will be payable on February 21, 2013 to common shareholders of record on February 13, 2013. The distribution for March 2013 will be payable on March 21, 2013 to common shareholders of record on March 14, 2013. Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. If necessary, the Fund will pay an adjusting distribution in December which includes any additional income and net realized capital gains in excess of the monthly distributions for that year to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund. The Gabelli Utility Trust has paid a distribution to shareholders every month since October 1999. The Fund's shares are currently trading at a premium to net asset value. The Board of Trustees believes that the premium at which the Fund shares trade relative to net asset value is not likely to be sustainable. Shareholders participating in the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan should note that at the current market price, the reinvestment of distributions occurs at a premium to net asset value. A portion of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain and qualified dividend income for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income tax rate, which is currently 15% in taxable accounts for individuals. If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund's earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder's original investment, it is generally not taxable and is treated as a reduction in the shareholder's cost basis. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital distributed by the Fund may be taxable as ordinary income in certain circumstances. This may occur when the Fund has a capital loss carry forward, net capital gains are realized in a fiscal year, and distributions are made in excess of investment company taxable income. Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, ordinary income, and paid-in capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the Fund as of November 13, 2012, each of the distributions paid to common shareholders in 2012 would include approximately 19% from net investment income, 46% from net capital gains and 35% from paid-in capital on a book basis. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2012 will be made after year end and can vary from the monthly estimates. All shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2012 distributions in early 2013 via Form 1099-DIV. It should be noted that the Fund's total assets include capital from preferred shares issued in prior years. Gabelli Funds, LLC (the "Investment Adviser") does not receive a management fee on the incremental assets attributable to the Fund's outstanding preferred shares unless the total return of the net asset value of the common shares during the year, including distributions and management fee subject to reduction, exceeds the stated dividend rate or corresponding swap rate of each particular series of preferred shares for the fiscal year. The Gabelli Utility Trust is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with $217 million in total net assets whose primary investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital and income by investing primarily in utility companies involved in the generation and distribution of electricity, gas, and water. The Investment Adviser is a subsidiary of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (NYSE:GBL), which is a publicly traded NYSE listed company. Contact: The Gabelli Utility Trust David Schachter, 914-921-5070

Lucinda Williams has been maneuvering down a path all her own for more than three decades now, emerging from Lake Charles, Louisiana (a town with a rich tradition in all of America's indigenous music, from country to the blues) having been imbued with a "culturally rich, economically poor" worldview. Several years of playing the hardscrabble clubs of her adopted state of Texas gave her a solid enough footing to record a self-titled album that would become a touchstone for the embryonic Americana movement helping launch a thousand musical ships along the way.
As a rule, you can divide music into three categories -- the kind that aims for the head, the kind that aims for the heart and the kind that aims for the hips. Forging two of those connections at once is pretty impressive, but connecting on all three? That's a rare accomplishment indeed, one that Lucinda Williams manages on her 11th studio album, Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone.
Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone, the first release on Lucinda Williams' own Highway 20 Records label, is easily the most ambitious creation in a body of work that's long on ambition. Over the course of two discs, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul.

In what is sure to be one of the most talked about tours of the summer, Christina Perri and Colbie Caillat have announced plans for a North American co-headline tour. Christina Perri has spent much of the past year on the road celebrating the release of her acclaimed second album "HEAD OR HEART." In addition to high profile TV appearances, festival performances, and treks with OneRepublic and Demi Lovato, Perri recently returned from her biggest worldwide headline tour to date, with sold out shows in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Named iTunes' "Breakthrough Pop Artist of 2011," Perri earned critical applause and an increasingly fervent fan following with her extraordinary debut, "lovestrong." Highlighted by the 4x-platinum certified smash, "Jar of Hearts," the album entered the SoundScan/ Billboard 200 among the top 5 upon its initial 2011 release. Perri followed "lovestrong" with the RIAA 4x-platinum certified hit single, "A Thousand Years," exclusively featured on "THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN: PART 1 & 2" ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS.
Two-time Grammy Award-winning artist Colbie Caillat released her fourth full-length album, "GYPSY HEART, in September of 2014. The album immediately landed in the Top 20 of Billboard's Top 200 Chart fueled by the strength of her gold-selling single "Try". Co-written by legendary producer and singer-songwriter, Babyface, "Try" became one of the biggest performing songs featured as iTunes "Single Of The Week." Quickly amassing nearly 40 million YouTube/VEVO views, the single's inspirational companion video became a global viral sensation and reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Video Chart. At radio, that success continued as the song went Top 10 at Hot AC. To date, Caillat has sold over six million albums and ten million singles worldwide. Her breakthrough hit "Bubbly" remains "one of the best-selling digital tracks in history" and her multi-platinum debut COCO hit #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, while her gold-selling sophomore set Breakthrough landed at #1. An international live draw, Caillat has played sold out venues everywhere alongside artists from John Mayer to Sheryl Crow.

Showered with awards and recognition for his live and recorded musical performances, and for his achievements on screens large and small as well as the Broadway stage, Harry Connick, Jr. has exemplified excellence in every aspect of the entertainment world. The foundation of Connick's art is the music of his native New Orleans, where he began performing as a pianist and vocalist at the age of five. His career took off when he signed with Columbia Records at 18 years old and revealed his stunning piano technique and vivid musical imagination on his self-titled debut album. His follow-up album, "20," announced that Connick was equally gifted as a singer; but this was soon overshadowed by his multi-platinum success with the soundtrack for the hit comedy "When Harry Met Sally..." To date, Connick has released 29 albums, won three Grammy Awards and two Emmy Awards, and garnered sales of over 28 million albums. His most recent releases are "Smokey Mary" and "Every Man Should Know."

Ronnie Milsap ranks as the pre-eminent country soul singer of his generation. He also represents much more than any two-word definition can convey: a humble, overtly friendly fellow with a talent as vast and multi-dimensional as the American South. Milsap provided country music with one of its most important voices, as the genre was moving beyond its rural roots into the mainstream of modern entertainment. Country music couldn't have found a man more suited to lead the charge. Steeped in the mountain music of the North Carolina hills and schooled in classical piano, Milsap early in life found inspiration in a wide variety of music. Even as he mastered Beethoven and Mozart, his heart belonged to hardcore country and rhythm-and-blues -- music he heard beamed from powerful radio stations located in Nashville. Those earthy sounds about life and love provided a young, impoverished blind boy with a connection to a world beyond the harsh reality of his daily existence. Ronnie was in concert at the Stiefel in January 2011.

Anne Lamott writes and speaks about subjects that begin with capital letters: Alcoholism, Motherhood, Jesus. But armed with self-effacing humor – she is laugh-out-loud funny – and ruthless honesty, Lamott converts her subjects into enchantment. Actually, she writes about what most of us don't like to think about. She wrote her first novel for her father, the writer Kenneth Lamott, when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. She has said that the book was "a present to someone I loved who was going to die." In all her novels, Anne Lamott writes about loss – loss of loved ones and loss of personal control. She doesn't try to sugar-coat the sadness, frustration and disappointment, but tells her stories with honesty, compassion and a pureness of voice. She says, "I have a lot of hope and a lot of faith and I struggle to communicate that." Anne Lamott does communicate her faith; in her books and in person, she lifts, comforts, and inspires, all the while keeping us laughing.

Two veteran singer/songwriters join forces for a unique and intimate acoustic performance and deliver one of the most compelling and spontaneous concerts on the road.

He has broadened the definition of American music, fusing elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a manner that defies convention and breaks down barriers. It is no surprise that the Americana Music Association awarded him its inaugural Trailblazer Award.
John Hiatt is a talented singer and guitarist best known for his prolific songwriting. His songs have been covered by musicians from Bonnie Raitt and the Neville Brothers to Iggy Pop and Three Dog Night. With 11 Grammy nominations and 24 albums to his name, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and won the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.

If the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses… think again.

They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase, numerous national TV appearances and proven success with CD releases.

Lewis is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sold out audiences. Lewis' live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don't have to. A passionate performer who is more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world. He is one of few performers to sell out multiple, renowned theatres, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In August 2007, he was the first stand-up comedian to ever perform in concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

I went with Janice from Boojum for my DD, who is now 9 months old. She was my first... Although I really liked Janice, and Ramona, and Dr. Kells personality wise... I would never go with them again. I never had a single complication, and had plans for a natural birth, but, Dr. Kells decided that my DD was "too big" and pushed SO hard for a c/s. I fought it and fought it, hired a doula to ensure things didnt go that way... and it did.
Ultimately they are going to go the way of the c/s if there are any inclinations it might be easier.
I have heard aroufn 5-6 stories similar to mine... from young, perfectly healthy, 20 somethings... be warned
So dissapointing, as I was so excited to have a midwife... but, really it wasn't any different from the OB office I transfered from.
There is a 'birth circle' in mesa - I can get the details if you are interested. Super cool group of pregnant moms and birthing professionals.

A new look at Saturn's rings
New information from space missions suggests Saturn's rings may be older and have more mass than scientists thought
By Jennifer Cutraro, 00:00 AM October 24, 2008
This portrait of Saturn's rings looks toward the northern side, which is not lit by the sun. Sunlight lights up the rings from below, though, and light not reflected scatters through the rings' particles, making them glow.
|JPL/NASA, Space Science Institute
Many students know that to figure out the age of a tree, you count the number of rings that make up its trunk. The tree adds another ring each year. But what if you wanted to know the age of the rings that surround the planet Sa...

This is how the life of a photographer goes sometimes. You're driving home on Highway 13, right around dusk. You glance off to your left and note that the moon, at an 8% crescent is going to set shortly, and it's probably going to do so right behind the San Francisco skyline.
So what do you do? Well, if you're me, you step on it and race for Grizzly Peak Road, a scenic, meandering two-lane stretch of tarmac that winds through the hills above Oakland and Berkeley while offering some spectacular views of the Bay Area, including the Bay Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, Oakland, Berkeley, and sometimes, the Golden Gate Bridge, too.

Increasing number of dowry killings and the poor conviction rate of cases continue to shame India.
According to the latest statistics of union home ministry, 8083 dowry deaths took place in the country in 2013 with first three ignominious spots going to Uttar Pradesh (2335 deaths), Bihar (1182) and Madhya Pradesh (776) respectively.
But when it comes to conviction rate, it is the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal that fare poorly with abysmal rates of conviction. Even though the reported cases of dowry deaths are lesser in these states as compared to UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, their conviction rate ranges between 3.8% - 12.9%.
While Gujarat and Maharashtra accounted for only 29 and 320 dowry deaths in 2013 their conviction rate was only 3.8% and 8.1% respectively, the lowest in the ladder.
Maharashtra's conviction rate was only 15.3% in 2011 and 16.9% in 2012.
Famous criminal lawyer KTS Tulsi says that cases of dowry killings need speedy trial, they are as worse as rape cases. Tulsi blames weak criminal justice system, lack of scientific apparatus and temperament and excessive burden of cases on courts for the poor conviction rate.
"Much evidence is lost because our police agencies do not have proper apparatus to collect forensic proofs right from the spot without wasting time which is precious to nail the culprits. There is also excessive dependence on the oral evidence by the police that often let the culprits go scot-free," said Tulsi.
Tulsi suggests availability of mobile forensic vans that can go to the crime scene at once to collect blood and DNA samples and other forensic evidence.
"With the help of mobile forensic vans one can get the results in hours that usually takes several weeks and at time months,"Tulsi added.
Another lady criminal lawyer who is fighting a couple of dowry death cases in high court for several years now said, one key reason that allows the culprits to go scot-free is bad police that at times gets influenced by the boy's side and does not investigate the case well. She also blamed slow and lengthy proceedings in court for the delay.
"There are examples where the culprit husband or mother in-law died before the judgment could be arrived at. There is need to have fast track courts for dowry deaths like in the case of rape trials. A time bound trial will help in nailing the culprits quick," she said.

GREENBELT, Maryland — A man has been indicted on a second-degree murder charge after a crash on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway left a man dead.
The U.S. Park Police say 27-year-old Anthony Lamont Payne of District Heights surrendered to them on Tuesday. He is charged in the March 20 crash that killed 19-year-old Terrance Lagrue of Silver Spring.
Park Police said the crash occurred on the parkway near U.S. 50 in Prince George's County. Authorities say Lagrue's car was hit by another, and Lagrue's car was forced off the road. The car rolled over and burst into flame.
Police say the other car fled the scene.

thats why i work for cash in hand
What would you pay 40% for when you die. Your inheritance is taxed at 0%. You only pay 40% when you die on the money you leave that is in excess of $5,340,000.00 you would have to be an awful rich poor person to have to do that.

That is assuming you are from the United States. I am guessing you read one of the recent articles about there being an estimated 21-31 trillion dollars in offshore hidden accounts. You have to remember that is covering the entire world. In the US it is much harder to try to do this than in other places. The IRS is brutal on people who willfully do not declare offshore accounts. The current penalty is to take 50% of the highest balance for each tax year. And that is just the penalty, they still tax. Just keep using the piggy bank it is not worth it.

Long Lost Love
Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters
All this burden is killing me
Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory
All this beauty is killing me
Oh, do you care,
I still feel for you
So aware,
What should be lost is there
I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come
Will we find each other in the dark
My long lost love

"The video for "Love Is Not Enough" follows the thoughts and emotions of two lost lovers in the final moments of their relationship - just as they realise that the relationship really isn't going to work. The whole video is filmed and edited in reverse, reflecting upon the cyclical nature of relationships. The backwards footage highlights the ambiguity and uncertainty of whether they are emotionally leaving or returning." Vicky Simmons, Director
Directed by Vicky Simmons, the video for Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough" (feat. Zoë Johnston) was shot on Hampstead Heath last December and features two rising stars of the acting world; Emily Beecham and Liam Boyle. Liam has starred in Powder (2010), Awaydays (2009) and Land Girls (2009). Emily has featured in The Calling (2009), 28 Weeks Later (2007) and was considered one of the 55 Faces Of The Future by Nylon Magazine's Young Hollywood issue.
A poignant tale of a deep love that wasn't quite to be, the video for Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough" (feat. Zoë Johnston) captures the confusing, frustrating and, ultimately, heart-breaking emotions of those final, fracturing stages of such a relationship in a stirring and cinematic style.
Released on 19th March 2012, Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston "Love Is Not Enough" is the latest single from the album "Group Therapy" - last year described as "the artist album of the year" by dance magazine Mixmag. A full remix package will include the new Above & Beyond Club Mix, and mixes from Kaskade, MRZO (aka Mat Zo), Maor Levi & Bluestone and Sykro.

Join us on Friday, September 30th from 4 to 9 PM for an open house at our new showroom in Kelowna, BC: The Factory.
We're celebrating the opening of Kelowna's premier destination for building professionals and homeowners with a little wine, appetizers and mingling. Explore The Factory's two stories and discover building suppliers, designers and artists for your home or upcoming project.
The Factory is more than our showroom, it is a beautiful example of vision, design and community. Not long ago, 1302 St. Paul Street was an abandoned building with little hope of repair. Today, it is a contempory space that combines new technologies with architectural vision.
Learn more about this stunning retrofit project in the heart of Kelowna's cultural district here.
In a recent article in the Vancouver Sun, Peter Simpson, president of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association, reminds homeowners to make sure to secure their homes before going on vacation to prevent break and enters. He lists a number of useful tips to help thwart the bad guys, including making sure all your windows and doors are locked and bolted.
We'd like to take that tip one step further: When buying new windows and doors for your home, make sure to purchase windows and doors that offer built-in security against casual break and enters. Third party locks and bolts are good, but steel reinforced and multipoint locking windows and doors are even better. Don't make security an afterthought!
Innotech manufactures one of the most secure windows and doors on the market. In fact, during our annual open house, we have a competition we like to call "Break In and Win!". We give guests a sledgehammer and a crowbar and if they can break into the window or door, we give them a prize. So far, there haven't been any winners (except for the "fake house" behind the window or door!).
Learn how our Defender Hardware System can help protect your valuables.
Innotech Windows + Doors, along with official partners Trocal®, Profine Group and Cardinal Glass Industries, is proud to be a Team Canada sponsor for the 2011 Solar Decathlon competition.
Team Canada's concept house - Technological Residence, Traditional Living (TRTL) - is a net-zero home that features a range of materials that offer resistance to mold, fire and the extreme elements of Southern Alberta, Canada. The materials, including Innotech Tilt + Turn Windows and Terrace Swing Doors, were chosen because they also significantly extend the life of the building.
The 18th annual Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association Parade of Renovated Homes is an exciting opportunity for the public to tour 12 professionally renovated homes in the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and West Vancouver.
Innotech Windows + Doors is excited to feature its Tilt + Turn Windows and Terrace Swing Doors in the North Vancouver home featured on the tour.
Recently renovated by Blackfish Homes and Construction in collaboration with JRS Engineering, the beautiful home features a host of green features. It has achieved an outstanding EnerGuide rating of 87 and ultra-low air change per hour of 1.2, making it one of the most energy efficient homes in the Lower Mainland.

The "Hurricane in a Box" test chamber will hit the Pacific North West in June as part of a 50-city tour of the United States and Canada.
Built to showcase the importance of appropriate material selection, construction sequencing and design details in the construction of energy efficient building envelopes, the test chamber showcases how superior materials and construction can protect buildings from the forces of Mother Nature.
The free two-hour interactive demonstration is entitled Refining Construction Details through Design Verification Testing. The transportable test chamber is calibrated to conduct common ASTM, AAMA and extreme weather testing in excess of Category 5 Hurricane conditions or winds up to and beyond 155 MPH on building mock-ups. It tests how well a typical wall assembly, including windows, doors and other openings, can resist water penetration under such circumstances.
The chamber also tests air leakage through walls and around windows and doors — a leading cause of wasted energy and uncomfortable buildings.

It tests how well a typical wall assembly, including windows, doors and other openings, can resist water penetration under such circumstances.
The chamber also tests air leakage through walls and around windows and doors — a leading cause of wasted energy and uncomfortable buildings.
The test chamber was designed by Building Envelope Innovations (BEI) to help builders create walls that wouldn't wet-out in extreme or even ordinary weather conditions. BEI has used the test chamber to test their air and water-resistive/waterproof barrier products, as well as other products on the market. The test chamber is also available to manufacturers, engineers and design professionals to see if their products and designs survive the high-pressure condition generated by the test chamber.
The multi-city road show is presented by PROSOCO, Lawrence, Kan., the manufacturer of the extreme-performance air and water resistive barrier product line R-GUARD. PROSOCO makes a wide range of products for cleaning, protecting and maintaining concrete, brick and stone architecture.
During its Vancouver visit, the test chamber will feature a Tilt + Turn Window manufactured by Innotech Windows + Doors, a BC-based manufacturer of European style, high-performance windows and doors. Innotech tilt and turn windows were selected for the test chamber by BEI because of their superior ability to resist air and water penetration in extreme conditions as simulated by the test chamber.
"The use of the right building materials combined with correct installation is the key to any durable and high-performing building envelope," says George Nickel, Business Development Director at Innotech Windows + Doors. "We're excited to be part of the BEI-PROSOCO test chamber. It's an exciting opportunity that will have a long-term impact on North America's building industry."
On June 22, 2011 the test chamber will be in Burnaby – the only Canadian city on the popular road show. The educational demonstration is free and open to design professionals, construction managers, general contractors, waterproofing contractors and air barrier contractors interested in learning how to improve the performance of their building envelopes.
Other dates in the Pacific North West include: Portland, OR on June 7, Lakewood, WA on June 9 and Seattle, WA on June 14. To register for any of these locations, visit: www.r-guard.com.
The two-hour demonstration meets AIA/CES and RCI criteria for continuing education. Every qualified attendee will receive a certificate for 2 AIA/CES unit hours (Health, Safety & Welfare / Sustainable Design) and/or two RCI Continuing Education Hours (CEH).
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) Patient Housing was recently featured in GB&D Magazine. The project's lead architect, Scott Carr, defines the LEED Gold registered project as follows:
"The building is meticulously detailed to withstand the tests of time," says Carr. "Sustainability begins with designing durable buildings that are capable of lasting 75-100 years."
SCCA features a high-performance thermal envelope that meets Architecture 2030 Challenge requirements. Innotech Tilt + Turn Windows are featured throughout the project.

The US Green Building Council has released a new fact sheet addressing energy performance in the LEED rating system.
"The fact sheet details a crucially important tool in helping to realize a building's performance in every aspect of sustainability: LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance. LEED buildings certified through EB:O&M are certified based upon their energy consumption in addition to the measures undertaken in the other credit categories covering water, indoor environmental quality, materials, and location. The amount of certified space under EB:O&M has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years, surpassing the rate of certification for New Construction (see the graph in the fact sheet for exactly how much and how fast). We expect this growth to continue as the building industry (and even the President) focuses on improving existing buildings."

In January 2011, the first state wide green building code, the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), took effect. Sustainable Industries recently compared CALGreen to LEED asking: "How does California's new green building code compare to the industry benchmark?"
"To address this question, one must look at differences and similarities between CALGreen and LEED in areas such as site characteristics, energy efficiency, water reduction, materials, and the indoor environment. When comparing individual areas within each standard, it's important to recognize that LEED is a voluntary point-based rating system with four levels of certification. CALGreen, on the other hand, is a mandatory green building code that also includes optional "tiers" for projects seeking to go beyond the minimum level required.
Both CALGreen and LEED address five main categories relating to new commercial buildings: site, water, energy, materials and the indoor environment. Since LEED is a point-based rating system in which projects must achieve at least 40 of 110 possible points, it allows for flexibility and has few mandatory prerequisites. In contrast, all of the measures within CalGreen are mandatory, with the exception of the optional tiers."

Innotech recently made it into a local high school's yearbook. In November 2010, Innotech hosted students from a technology class. The students learned about the key components of energy efficient and high performance windows and doors and had the chance to tour our manufacturing plant and see our testing equipment in action.
The LEED® Platinum Certified Bagley Classroom was recently featured in GreenSource Magazine. Featuring triple glazed Innotech Tilt + Turn Windows, the project in Duluth Minnesota is also awaiting Passive House recognition.
Students at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) are fortunate to have access to Bagley Nature Area, a 55-acre parcel of land on the northwest portion of the campus that includes a pond, forest, ski and hiking trails, and open space. But while conducting research, observing wildlife, or absorbing the scenery, the students had no home base. To remedy this dilemma, the university commissioned local firm Salmela Architect to design a small LEED Platinum-certified classroom space on an existing clearing (an unused volleyball court). It was the team who decided to up the ante and simultaneously try for Passive House certification and net-zero energy. "We went for everything," says David Salmela, FAIA. "Energy-oriented buildings tend to be driven by the technology rather than the architecture. What we wanted to do was combine all of those things together."

Record Detail
- In 1879 the India Museum in South Kensington closed. Most of its collections were absorbed by the Victoria and Albert Museum, but some were sent to the Gardens at Kew, including a collection of South and Southeast Asian Lacquerware. Two pen cases were among the items donated, said to be made of the wood of Palmyra Borassus flabiluformis .
