Plantago lanceolata
|Ribwort Plantain
|Scientific classification
|P. lanceolata
|Binomial name
|Plantago lanceolata
Plantago lanceolata is a species of genus Plantago known by the common names English plantain, narrowleaf plantain, ribwort plantain,[1] ribleaf, buckhorn plantain, buckhorn, and lamb's tongue. It is a common weed of cultivated land.
The plant is a rosette-forming perennial herb, with leafless, silky, hairy flower stems (10–40 cm or 3.9–15.7 in). The basal leaves are lanceolate spreading or erect, scarcely toothed with 3-5 strong parallel veins narrowed to short petiole. Grouping leaf stalk deeply furrowed, ending in an ovoid inflorescence of many small flowers each with a pointed bract. Each flower can produce up to two seeds. Flowers 4 mm (calyx green, corolla brownish), 4 bent back lobes with brown midribs, long white stamens. Found in British Isles, scarce on acidic soils (pH < 4.5). It is considered an invasive weed in North America. It is present and widespread in the Americas and Australia as an introduced species.
Considered to be an indicator of agriculture in pollen diagrams, P. lanceolata has been found in western Norway from the Early Neolithic onwards, something considered an indicator of grazing in that area.[2]
P. lanceolata is used frequently in herbal teas and other herbal remedies.[3] A tea from the leaves is used as a highly effective cough medicine. In the traditional Austrian medicine Plantago lanceolata leaves have been used internally (as syrup or tea) or externally (fresh leaves) for treatment of disorders of the respiratory tract, skin, insect bites, and infections.[4]
P. lanceolata contains phenylethanoids such as acteoside (verbascoside), cistanoside F, lavandulifolioside, plantamajoside and isoacteoside.[5] It also contains the iridoid glycosides aucubin and catalpol.[6]

Today was awesome! We worked on two houses today. Kimberly, one of the home owners, worked alongside us as we dug holes for trees and flower beds, put up trim and siding, and reinforced doorways and windows. Lorenzo and Danny (our team leaders) were patient in teaching us how to properly operate power tools.
A fantastic homemade lunch of tacos, Mexican rice, and walking tacos was provided by one of the generous homeowners. There are a few blisters and a couple of minor sunburns; Tony had a mishap with a full wheelbarrow and a ladder :) but everyone is in great shape!
After leaving the work site, we drove through downtown Laredo. We were a little worried in Tim's van when we somehow ended up in a traffic lane to cross into Mexico... No worries, we stayed on this side of the border. We stopped at San Agustin Cathedral, the oldest church in Laredo. Interesting tidbit - before the founding of this Catholic church in Laredo in 1760, residents relied upon Franciscan priests that traveled to Laredo for their spiritual care. Our Franciscan roots are everywhere - even deep in the heart of Texas :)
Back at United Baptist Church (they are allowing us to use their facilities while we are here), Alisa and Laurie brought the gang some awesome barbecue! We had the works - pulled pork, smoked brisket, and turkey with cole slaw, baked beans, and all the trimmings. We will definitely sleep well after a hard day of work and a delicious, hearty meal!
We are all so excited to get back to the work site tomorrow! It really is an awesome way to spend our Spring Break by helping to build homes for some amazing families who would not be able to afford them otherwise!

Universal life insurance (UL) is the most consumer-friendly life-insurance policy ever devised. Since it was created about 30 years ago, I have been sitting down with people, sketching and explaining how it works. I love to educate. Since every potential insurance buyer should understand how UL works and since I cannot meet with every person in the market for life insurance, I have decided to reduce this presentation to print.

|Role of Antihypertensive Drugs in Arterial 'De-Stiffening' and Central Pulsatile Hemodynamics.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22540323 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension, as well as a potential therapeutic target. There is increasing awareness that the pulsatile hemodynamics (central blood pressure [CBP], pulse pressure [PP], wave reflections [augmentation index or AIx] and pulse wave velocity [PWV]) may provide better insight into the pathophysiology of CV disorders and target organ damage related to hypertension. Different antihypertensive drugs produce diverse effects on arterial stiffness variables, despite similar effects on peripheral (brachial) blood pressure. Identifying the pharmacologic interventions that can improve arterial stiffness ('de-stiffening' treatment) is a promising field of research.

It's a "sticky". Nice job
Tire: Hankook RS2
Size: 215/45/17
Usage: SCCA Solo2 AutoCross (STS class) and Daily Drivers.
Part 1 - Initial Impressions:
The RS2's completely and utterly blow the stock Continentals into the weeds when comparing them on the track.
It was a little bit of a shock to me, but I had to entirely re-learn how to drive my car on the track,
since these tires have so much more potential.
For example, I'm generally under 2 seconds max between all my runs.
Well, being a "noobie" on these new tires, I dropped 3 seconds on my 2nd run, and 4 more seconds on the 3rd run.
The last 3 runs were pretty consistent with less than a second between them...
(and 2 cones on the last run when I really went for it...woops).
I feel pretty good that I did find their limits as fast as I did, but I still can't get over how different the car reacts now.
I'm sure the next event will see me dropping even more time off, once I start playing around with pressures a bit,
and get even more used to the new treads.
Here's the first few observations from the track:
#1, Turn in is right now with these tires, pretty much the first thing I noticed on the street too.
#2, I can brake much later now, before rotating into a turn.
#3, Once I'm in the turn, I can push the car a great deal harder without scrubbing the pi*s out of the front tires.
#4, Tire wear looks great, though I've only got 1 event/6runs on them so far.
I should mention, I only had 250 miles on them before hitting the track.
I managed to get in one good heat cycle with about 50 miles of easy "street" driving,
then I went on a short 80 mile road trip with a good amount of hard cornering thrown in.
I immediately threw the car up on jackstands, and let the tires cool down overnight, and 1/2 the next day.
Part 2 - Post Season Review:
They're toast.
You can literally measure the treadwear after each event.
As far as a track tire, I'm getting something else for this coming season.
While grip is on par with the MX and Azeni, the treadwear is not.
I've seen several competitors with 2+ seasons on the aforementioned tires.
Not going to happen with the Kooks.
Azeni RT-615's (225/45/17) have been ordered, and will be here next week.

The Edmonton Oilers will welcome Taylor Hall back into the lineup Thursday when they visit the Phoenix Coyotes tonight.
Hall had been sidelined seven games with a left shoulder injury. According to CBC, Hall likely will play on a line with center Shawn Horcoff and forward Ales Hemsky.
"I'm glad to be back as soon as I could," Hall told reporters. "It (stinks) missing games, especially when the team's not doing well. You just want to be back and help, but I'm glad I took the extra few days to get it better and I feel great now."
In his absence, the Oilers have gone 2-4-1, including a 3-0 loss Saturday in Calgary..
Hall has 7 goals and 11 assists in 22 games this season.
In addition to Hall, defenseman Corey Potter is expected to return to the lineup for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in mid-November. Potter has 2 goals and 6 assists in 16 games.
Here's what the lineup for the Oilers -- and the Coyotes -- could look like tonight.

So the Jets went up to Buffalo this weekend with first place potentially on the line and they pull out their biggest win of 2008. And they did it with a great defensive performance. And thanks to the Colts for taking care of the Patriots, the Jets see themselves in a three way tie for first place at 5-3. The defense played great and the offense did enough to win the game.
I have to start with the defense this week. Kris Jenkins, the Jets defensive MVP this season, led a defensive line that gave up only 30 rushing yards on the afternoon. They were able to keep Marshawn Lynch in check for only 16 rushing yards. He did have three receptions for 52 yards, but got about 40 of those yards on one play on the opening drive. Jenkins not only shut down the running game, he also had two sacks and forced Trent Edwards to make a pass that was picked off by Abram Elam and taken 92 yards to the house for a touchdown. One of the biggest plays of the day was on the ensuing drive for the Bills when they got down to the Jets 8 yard line and had 4th and 1. Jenkins and Kerry Rhodes were able to stuff Fred Jackson for no gain. Darrelle Revis also had a huge day for the Jets. He sacked Edwards in the first quarter, forcing a fumble that he also recovered leading to a Jets field goal. He then ended the game with an Interception in the end zone. Revis is becoming one of the best cover corners in the NFL. He now has 4 int's on the season, 2 of them were game enders. Overall the Jets defense ended up 2 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles and sacked Edwards 5 times.
The offense managed the game effectively and cut down on the mistakes. Brett Favre was not spectacular but got the job done. After talking with Eric Mangini this week about cutting down on mistakes, he only made one on this day, which was an interception that was returned for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. That made the score at the time 23-17 Jets. The key drive was the one that came after the interception. Favre was able to lead the Jets on a 14 play 65 yard drive that ate up over eight minutes of the game clock, ending with another Jets field goal. The Jets went up 26-17 and never looked back. On the day, Favre was 19-28 for 201 yards and one interception. One key for cutting down on the turnovers was the pass protection because Favre was not sacked at all. The offensive played a very solid game on Sunday. You could tell that Favre was not trying to force any passes because on the first two possessions in the red zone, the Jets were running the ball and ended up with two field goals.
Another key play for the Jets was late in the third quarter. Leon Washington fielded a kickoff after a Bills field goal while he was out of bounds, giving the Jets the ball on the Bills 40 yard line. He had one foot out of bounds and grabbed the ball which was going to stay in bounds. If he did not do this, the Jets would have gotten the ball inside the Bills 10 yard line. A very smart play for another potential Jets team MVP this season. Leon also ended up with 13 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards. He does a little bit of everything for the Jets and always seems to be doing something big whenever he is on the field.
The offense was not flashy by any means on Sunday. But the managed the game well and did enough to get the Jets a win. The story was the defense. That was a huge performance on the road against a division rival. The Jets do have a trap game coming up this week against the Rams. This is a big game because they could get a game up on the Bills or Patriots since they are playing each other this week in New England. Since the Jets play the Patriots four days after they plays the Rams, they can not over look St. Louis. If they can beat the Rams then they will be heading up to New England at 6-3 with the hopes of taking over the division lead. But that's too far away right now to worry about that, but it all starts on Sunday at the Meadowlands.

Will my stepmother's children claim my father's estate?
My fathers will says I was second in line to his estate and all property next to my stepmother, she has now just passed away, do I have any rights or can she just overturn the will so her children receive everything? what can I do?
Your question about estate claims depends entirely on the precise wording of your dad's will - as your use of term "second in line" in your question is a bitambiguous. If his will stated that everything goes to your stepmother and you were only to inherit something if she pre-deceased him, then being "second in line" doesn't really mean anything if she survived him. If this is the way it was written (and I suspect that is indeed what was said), then unfortunately you do not have any legal claim on any of his assets. Once she inherited them she was free to give them to anyone she wanted to. On the other hand, if your dad had signed a trust document that stated that his assets would go to your stepmother but only for her use during her lifetime, and then pass to you upon her death, you would indeed have a valid claim to the remaining assets.
In other words, unless your dad set up a trust that restricted your stepmother's actions she actually isn't "overturning" anything - she inherited the assets from your dad and once that happened she was the sole owner of the assets.
If this is the case, then most likely there isn't anything you can do legally. Of course, this result probably feels incredibly unfair, and may be very hurtful to you. It also may be contrary to what your father really wanted to have happen - as he may have simply assumed that his assets would be shared with his kids. If he worked with a lawyer in preparing his will or trust it might be helpful to try to talk with that lawyer, though he or she may not be comfortable talking with you. In the end, this result may change the way you feel about your relationship with your father.
The one strategy you might consider is talking to your stepmother's children, so that you can explain to them how upsetting this is to you. They might be willing to consider some kind of compromise sharing of the assets, and hopefully they would understand the feelings behind your reaction. Generally we think it's better if you be clear that this is not a legal challenge, but rather, something coming from the heart. If you don't think they will be open to talking with you, then you might want to recruit another family member or mutual friend to help you open up the discussion. If this is not a viable approach, then perhaps you can talk with someone who was in touch with your father when he wrote up his estate documents, in an effort to better understand why he did what he did.
One final point: if you truly believe that this is not what your father intended to do, you would need to retain a lawyer who could file a claim against the estate, and in that context you could question the lawyer who drafted the will or trust. If your did wrote up the documents on his own, without a lawyer's help, then this option probably won't get you very far either.
I was in exactly the same situation. My late father William and my late stepmother Dorothy prepared mirror Wills whereby they left their respective estates initially to the surviving spouse and then to myself and my stepbrother Michael Cosgrove in equal shares. My father died first and his estate passed to my stepmother. My stepmother subsequently prepared a new Will and left everything to her own family. As a result I lost my family inheritance which I understand to be in the region of £150,000. I tried writing to her family explaining that this was against my late fathers wishes but despite numerous attempts Mr & Mrs Cosgrove just ignored all my correspondence. I did seek legal advice but the view was that legally she could betray my late father's wishes by preparing a new Will in favour of her own family. My late father would have been absolutely devestated if he had known that his only son and grandaughter had been completely disinherited.
Without doubt this has been the hardest thing I have had to deal with and it is just so wrong and the law needs changing.
Exactly the same here. My dad had a brain tumor in November 2005. Before the first surgery I wrote his will out exactly how he wanted it and a notary notorized the document that very day in the hospital bedroom.
Unfortunately he was married to a horrid Columbian woman who I never trusted. The day after he came home from the hospital after the first surgery she took him to an attorney and was made Power of Attorney over his estate. My dad lived over 2 years after that and all she concentrated on was moving the money to a Columbian account. Instead of my sister and I intheriting $500K each which is what we were promised, we got $24K each and that horrid woman told us that was all that was left. Now last year she quick deeded the house to herself and we don't get a part of that either. In the will it stated that is she died (I throw a party!) my sister and I would split the house. If she lived (UGH!) and sold the house, she would get half and my sister and I would get a quarter.
Don't ever trust a late marriage. They are only after the money. I actually found a blog online where a woman was concerned for her dad because he was talking to this woman (that horrid Columbian) and she was afraid that the horrid Columbian was after his money. It had her name, my dad's name in the blog, my dad's address and phone number.
This whole situation is so upsetting. I hope she rots in hell.
My sister and I are going through virtually the same thing. Stepmother will change will and give her kids, ( which dad didn't raise or even particularly like,) all of his estate, our inheritance. She sure had him fooled. My sis and I discovered that her daughter had been plotting for quite a long time and researching Fla. Law so that they would be able to make sure my father's only 2 kids and granddaughter would get nothing. He was the one that made the money and his wishes were well known by all but she saw to it that we didn't even know when his memorial service was held. This was all after a year of us taking care of him, camping out at hospitals and Never seeing any of her kids,,not once! We loved him dearly but all we have is the knowing that you can't be that evil and not pay for it somehow!
My father passed away before my step-mother. Two adult children on each side. Step mother then left entire estate to her children. Still feels very strange to realize your father cared so little about his own children and grandchildren. Probably will sting for the rest of my life.
It depends if no will and state. IF no will and father dies first ,his half would be his kids estate and they would have to wait until step mom died then her half of the house would be her kids.
Your father's will is no longer valid, as the monies have transferred. She is free to do as she wishes. My dad made the same dumb mistake, leaving everything to my stepmother, under the foolish belief that she would treat his children and his did hers (my former stepbrother). Soon as Dad died she began spending the money and made a gross payment to my stepbrother so that he could take a major upgrade in his living. Needless to say, life moves on, but nothing with completely dull that sting of being second to my former stepmother.

BATON ROUGE -- There are two things I love about recruiting.
1. When signing day is over. 2. When the de-recruiting begins.
LSU quarterback signee Ryan Perrilloux (or Perr-i-LOUD) needs to be de-recruited and fast.
Actually that process has already started. LSU coach Les Miles wisely sat down with Perrilloux upon learning of the prospect's comments on national signing day on Feb. 2 during and after Perrilloux's press conference at East St. John High in Reserve to announce his decision to come to LSU.
Perrilloux said he chose LSU over Texas because there was more of an opportunity at quarterback at LSU with senior Marcus Randall leaving, JaMarcus Russell performing inconsistently and Matt Flynn barely playing.
"JaMarcus kind of struggled a little bit," Perrilloux said. "Matt Flynn really didn't play too much. Marcus Randall was a senior. So I decided LSU probably was the best spot for me."
Those statements are true, but Miles told Perrilloux that he was representing LSU now that he was signed and that he needed to tone down his comments. Perrilloux has done as his coach asked since then, but some additional comments he made back on signing day to multiple reporters appeared in a story in the Baton Rouge Advocate on Sunday.
This is common at papers. Reporters save comments from a busy news day for a later feature. But these latest Perrilloux comments to appear were more reckless than the first ones.
Speaking of his future LSU teammates, Perrilloux said, "They want me there. They kind of lost a lot of, not faith or trust, or not confidence in JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn, but they just said they weren't consistent. Sometimes they'd look like gold, and sometimes they wouldn't. They probably want me to come in and see if I can be that person that looks like gold all the time and get them the ball, because the receivers are kind of frustrated because they had to cut the offense in half just so JaMarcus and Matt could play."
Again, Perrilloux's comments have some truth to them. Former coach Nick Saban even said at his introductory press conference with the Miami Dolphins that one reason the Tigers ran so much in 2004 was because their quarterbacks were not that good. But it doesn't matter if Perrilloux's comments are accurate or not. He shouldn't be making them. It's not a good way to enter a new team, especially since he won't be able to grasp the whole offense in his first year either. Had Saban played Russell more, Russell might have learned more. And Perrilloux has never played against Southeastern Conference defenses. Some of his "gold" will fall off as well.
Russell watched Randall struggle mightily in a 31-0 loss to Alabama in Tiger Stadium in 2002 when Russell was a senior at Williamson High in Mobile, Ala.
That game had a lot to do with Russell, who was nearly as significant a signing as Perrilloux, deciding on LSU. But he didn't go around telling reporters how Randall struggled.
Perrilloux needs to learn to keep some of his comments to himself. And by next August when Perrilloux takes his first snaps with LSU in a real practice, Russell and Flynn will be even more ahead of him than they are now, and the receivers will feel that much more comfortable with Russell and Flynn than with Perrilloux.
Perrilloux may indeed unseat Russell one day, but he might not. Until he does, he needs to learn from Russell and listen to the following comment by Russell.
"There's a lot of work to do," Russell said to the Times Picayune after Perrilloux's first comments. "Coming in with an attitude won't get you anywhere, because you have to learn to crawl before you walk."
And think before you talk.

Coming Soon: A Face Transplant Registry
Obviously, the world has come a long way since the heyday of Nicolas Cage, and face transplants (and hand transplants) are now entirely possible, if still very rare. And, now, as it turns out, the future as imagined in Face/Off might be here sooner rather than later. The U.S. government is now taking steps toward concrete regulations for face- and hand-transplant procedures, laying the groundwork for individuals to grant their own consent to donate their faces and hands to transplant candidates.
In the past, these incredibly complex surgeries have been planned by individual hospitals on a case-by-case basis. Face and hand donations have to be solicited from the potential donor's next of kin, and the process of deciding which donors may or may not be a match for a transplant patient is inconsistent at best. Under the new plan, these organs would be handled by the United Network of Organ Sharing, the government agency that regulates the donation of traditionally transplanted organs, such as lungs, livers, and hearts. Such a move could streamline the process, while moving these procedures into the mainstream.
Officials say the challenge now is one of public perception. Those who would agree to donating a kidney or a liver may not be too excited about giving up their hands or face. Just how the consent process will change to make sure potential donors are aware of the new regulations remains to be seen. But, one thing is certain: The future of face transplants is here, and we're not totally sure how to feel about it. (USA Today/The Verge)

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has touted his ability to work with the Democratic-controlled legislature when he was governor of Massachusetts, arguing that he will also be able to bridge the partisan divide in Washington.
Not so fast, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat who will either remain in charge of the chamber after the Nov. 6 election or control enough votes to successfully block any Republican efforts to pass legislation.
"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," Reid said in a statement. "In fact, Mitt Romney's Tea Party agenda has already been rejected in the Senate. In the past few months, we have voted down many of the major policies that Mitt Romney has run on."
In an opinion piece for CNN, Romney wrote, "As governor of a state that was overwhelmingly Democratic, I was always ready to reach across the aisle and I can proudly point to the results. I've learned that when we come together to solve problems in a practical spirit, we can accomplish miracles."
Reid said Romney shows no interest in working with Democrats then or now.
Romney "had a terrible relationship with Democrats, cordoning himself off behind a velvet rope instead of reaching out to build relationships," Reid said. "And in the near-decade that Mitt Romney has spent running for president, both his words and his actions have shown that pleasing the far right is more important to him than working across the aisle."
Then again, Reid hasn't yet risen to the level of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, who once said, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president. "

WASHINGTON - More than eight months have passed since Rep. Sean Duffy voted to repeal the health care law, and Republicans have yet to produce a comprehensive package to replace it.
So Duffy, a freshman Republican from Ashland, said he will propose his own legislation as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act that President Barack Obama signed into law in March 2010.
In voting to repeal what Republicans derisively label "Obamacare" in January, Duffy reneged on a campaign pledge that he would only vote to repeal the health care reform law if there was something on the table to replace it. ...

Blizzard Nemo is one for the record books. Seven of Connecticut's eight counties reported record-breaking levels of snow, said Governor Dannel P. Malloy during an evening press conference at the state armory on Saturday, February 9.
Preliminary maximum snowfall and wind gusts for Fairfield County were announced as 35 inches and 82 miles per hour, respectively, as of 12:45 pm Saturday.
The lightest snowfall average was in Litchfield County, with 23 inches; the highest snowfall average was in New Haven County, with 38 inches of snow. Fairfield County's maximum wind gust was the highest of those reported; a 43 mph gust in Hartford was the lowest registered at that hour.
Snow began falling in Newtown around 8 am Friday, and continued for approximately 24 hours.
Newtown Director of Emergency Communications Maureen Will said early afternoon Saturday, February 9, that town crews continued to clear roadways of the snow that fell all day Friday and during the overnight of Friday into Saturday, February 8–9.
The one report posted by the National Weather Service gives 17 inches as the reported snowfall for Newtown, but residents would certainly disagree with that number. The Bee received reports from around town of anywhere from two to four feet being on the ground, but steady wind and occasional drifts have some places buried in deeper piles of snow. Depths of 18 inches were reported in Hawleyville, while other locations, including Loveland Drive in Sandy Hook, had 36 inches of snow. The average seemed to be between two to three feet across town.
"The crews are still out, and fire and EMS stations continue to be staffed," said Ms Will. "The town is fairly calm, thanks to the travel ban."
Gov Malloy had issued a series of increasingly tighter travels bans within the state beginning at noon Friday. The state's highways were closed at noon that day. At 4 pm that afternoon, a ban on motor vehicle travel on limited access highways in the state went into effect. By 7 am Saturday, however, the governor ordered all roads in Connecticut closed, a full ban that remained in place for nine hours.
"However," he cautioned, "do not go on roads" unless necessary. "They are not as safe" as they could be, he said. "There is a lot of blowing snow, and many of the entrances and exits are still not accessible," he said. "Discourage your loved ones from going on the road tonight."
The governor reminded residents that snowmobiles and ATVs are not to be used on the state's roads.
"Please don't go out on the roads with these machines," he said. "There is very limited space out there. There are no breakdown lanes.
"Putting those out there ... is illegal, and ... it's dangerous to those on such machines and for others," he said.
As of 6 pm, approximately 35,000 CL&P customers in the state remained without power, and another 220 United Illuminating customers were also without power. Newtown seemed to get lucky with this storm. No power outages were reported. While other towns worried about dropping temperatures and opened heating/warming centers for Saturday's overnight, Newtown officials did not have to take such precautions.
Connecticut State Police responded to approximately 3,000 calls for help between Friday morning and Saturday evening, including 600 accidents, the governor said. Five deaths across the state were attributed to the storm, he reported.
The governor was grateful, he said, that so many people listened to his warnings to stay off the roads for 28 hours. He was upset, he said, at the number of vehicles he saw while he was moving around the state on Saturday. Many of those vehicles, he said, appeared to have been out during the height of the storm.
"That amazes me," he said. "By and large people listened, to a greater extent that ever before, but there is always someone who has to go out."
Ms Will noted that most Newtown residents also listened to the governor's words.
"As long as people heed that ban, things will remain calm," she said early Saturday afternoon.
She had seen, she said, a few cars that seemed to be out on the roads unnecessarily, including one vehicle "with about two feet of snow on its roof."
Newtown's schools were closed on Monday, following forecasts of freezing rain. The closures also allowed town crews to continue with much-needed road clearing.

Unincorporated Business Entities
This course surveys the law of unincorporated business entities, i.e. partnerships, including the limited partnership (LP) and limited liability partnership (LLP), and the limited liability company (LLC). While the course covers the law of agency in the first two weeks of class, the main focus is on partnerships and LLCs, both from an analytical perspective and from a planning perspective. We will analyze legal problems involved in the formation and operation of closely held businesses. The importance of "unincorporated" forms of business organization has increased in recent years, both in business in general and in areas such as venture capital and private equity.
Issues to be included management powers, the status of general and limited partners, fiduciary duties among partners, especially when partners leave or are expelled, the handling of accounting and property rights, and the transferability of ownership interests. In the field of limited liability companies, we will review their legal nature, mode of creation, alternative forms of management, financial structure and fiduciary duties, together with the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil. We will also discuss advantages and disadvantages of unincorporated entities in comparison to the corporation.

Video of John Calipari from Monday.
- Terrence Jones is not expected to start in Tuesday's game because he couldn't practice Monday. "It's still swollen and black and blue," Calipari said. "But that stuff's all right. He'll be fine. The doctor said he thought he may be able to practice today. Looked at it and said, ah, keep him out another day."
- Four players have started a "Breakfast Club," Calipari said, and they get up early in the morning to lift and eat breakfast together. "You start building a bond that, we're not caving in, we're doing this together," said Calipari, who didn't name the players but said it's "the guys you would expect. It means you're totally sold it, bought in."
- Darius Miller said the Herald-Leader's picture of Jones' finger at a near 90-degree angle has made the rounds on the team. "It's pretty nasty," Miller said. I didn't know it was that bad."
- With school out for winter break, here's what Calipari has on the schedule: "I told them, between now and Jan. 9, you're playing basketball, you're eating or you're sleeping. That's it." Miller said he is looking forward to it because of the improvement the team can make with such an increased focus on basketball. "All the kinks we need to get worked out, this is the time to do it."
- One of Miller's personal kinks is that he's shooting 24.2 percent on 3-pointers through 10 games, well below last season's average of 44.3. "I always feel comfortable, it's just not going in," Miller said. "I just got to get up extra shots to get in the same routine of shooting the ball every time."
- Another kink? Listening in timeouts and executing the designed play. "We walk out of a timeout and there's no telling what they're going to do. But they probably never listened in a timeout before. They probably said, 'all right. Now give me the ball and I'm shooting.'"
- Calipari on his team's progress: "Where they are right now is probably farther along than they deserve to be. Especially defensively. To get freshmen to defend the way we are is not normal. Yet offensively, we're just not there. The biggest thing is we don't talk."
- With no one else on campus (seriously. I swear I'm the only person here, and that's only because the basketball players are here), players have more time to bond. "It's as much of getting them together all the time," Calipari said. "You're not on the phone at dinner. Talk to one another. You're not on the phone. You're with these people. … If I see a guy on the phone, I'm like, what are you doing? You want to talk to the phone more than you want to talk to your teammate?"
- Calipari complimented Doron Lamb's improved efforts, saying he comes in 30-45 minutes before practice for extra conditioning and shooting. "I've been in the gym working hard on my game, and it's paying off on the court," Lamb said.
- Samford, Tuesday's opponent, wasn't mentioned a single time today. I'll have a '3 things to watch for' up tomorrow.
- UK remained No. 3 in the AP poll. Out of 65 votes, Cats got four first-place votes. Others receiving top-ranked votes: No. 1 Syracuse (53), No. 2 Ohio State (5) and No. 4 Louisville (2).

Return of DE Jason Hatcher, OG Derrick Dockery has Cowboys near full strength
After weeks of adjusting their lineup because of injuries, the Cowboys are near full strength. On Wednesday, they welcomed back defensive end Jason Hatcher and guard Derrick Dockery.
The only player on the 53-man roster not participating in practice was running back Felix Jones, who suffered a high-left-ankle sprain Oct. 16 against New England.
Hatcher, who missed the last three games after straining his left calf in an 18-16 victory over Washington on Sept. 26, was limited in practice. So was Dockery, who suffered a sprained MCL and a hairline fracture in his right leg against San Francisco on Sept. 18.
Asked if he will be available to play Sunday against Philadelphia, Dockery responded, "Yeah, I'll be ready if they need me. I'm just real excited to be back on the team, trying to help compete and help this team in any way possible."
After going through a tedious rehabilitation, Hatcher was thrilled to return to the field.
"It was a process," Hatcher said. "But I am excited to be back with my D-line. I missed them."

|Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) interleukin-12: analysis of expression profiles and functional cross-reactivity with bovine system.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16112195 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Interleukin-12, a heterodimeric pro-inflammatory cytokine, from water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) was analyzed for its for its tissue specific expression and functionality. Concanavalin A stimulated splenocytes displayed an up-regulation of the IL-12 p40 subunit 8-24h post-stimulation, whereas the p35 subunit did not show any quantitative variation at different time intervals. Basal level expressions of both the subunits were observed by RT-PCR in spleen. In addition p40 transcripts could be detected in liver and p35 in brain and muscle tissues as well in very low levels. Functional recombinant buffalo IL-12 was expressed in HEK 293T cells as a heterodimer using foot-and-mouth disease virus 2A polypeptide as a linker. Culture supernatants from transfected cells contained a hetero-dimeric p70 subunit as revealed in western blot of the proteins separated by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) using a monoclonal antibody against bovine IL-12 p40. IL-12 containing culture supernatant induced production of nitric oxide in cultured splenocytes of both buffalo and bovine origin. Our study reveals that buffalo IL-12, which shares a high-level sequence identity with bovine IL-12, also has functional cross-reactivity with the bovine immune cells.

|YL326, a novel small-molecule inhibitor of cell-cycle progression, induces G(0)/G(1) phase arrest and apoptosis in human hepatic carcinoma cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22542944 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We previously reported the potential of a novel small molecule 3-amino-6-(3-methoxyphenyl)thieno[2.3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamide (YL326) as an anticancer agent. In the present study, we investigated the anticancer effects and possible mechanisms of YL326 in vitro. We found that YL326 treatment significantly inhibited human hepatic carcinoma cell proliferation in vitro, and the HepG2 cell line was the most sensitive to its treatment. The inhibition of cell proliferation correlated with G(0)/G(1) phase arrest, which was followed by apoptotic cell death. The YL326-mediated cell-cycle arrest was associated with the downregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, CDK4 and CDK6 but not cyclin D1 or cyclin E. The phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) was also observed. YL326 treatment induced apoptotic cell death via the activation of PARP, caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax as well as the downregulation of Bcl-2. The expression levels of p53 and p21 were also induced by YL326 treatment. Moreover, YL326 treatment was well tolerated. In conclusion, YL326, a novel cell-cycle inhibitor, notably inhibits HepG2 cell proliferation through the induction of G(0)/G(1) phase arrest and subsequent apoptosis. Its potential as a candidate anticancer agent warrants further investigation.

EASTON, Pa. (AP) -- A prosecutor says two Pennsylvania brothers who were rushed to a hospital in September inadvertently took liquid LSD from a bottle of breath mint drops they found on the ground near their home.
Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said Wednesday that investigators determined the boys ingested the hallucinogenic drug.
Morganelli says the boys, ages 7 and 10, were foaming at the mouth and hallucinating after arriving at Bangor Elementary School on Sept. 24. They were hospitalized and released the following day.
Morganelli says investigators couldn't get fingerprints from the bottle to trace it.

"These address labels printed up beautifully. I am very pleased with this product. I also found Tiny Prints customer service to be very helpful. I would definitely order from Tiny Prints again."
"I absolute love these. I wasn't sure how good the quality would be, but its great. The black background is a deep color and the labels have a good thickness to them. I would definitely buy this again. The only negative I had in the experience is that my order got delivered to the wrong place, but Customer Service responded very quickly to my problem."

Lightning blamed for fire which destroyed home
Topics : baton rouge home fire department
BATON ROUGE - Firefighters said a lightning strike is to blame for a fire which destroyed a Baton Rouge home this afternoon.
Barry Mounce with BRFD said they were called to 222 West Woodgate Court at 2:27 p.m. Witnesses said they heard a loud boom as storms moved through the area, and saw flames shooting up from the roof shortly after.
The fire took an hour to get under control, and the home was considered a total loss. One firefighter was overcome by the heat and treated on the scene.
Mounce said no one was home at the time of the fire, but the occupants came home after firefighters had arrived.

Yelp Grades Cause New York City To Review Restaurant Health Ratings
Yelp has started posting the health department's ratings of restaurants. The hospitality industry says that's just too much information.
Are Yelp reviews a form of civic action?
Yelp, the ratings site with 70 million users, has begun the process of integrating city health department reports into its restaurant reviews. Starting over the next few weeks, when you look up Mission Chinese in San Francisco or New York, Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia or Pizzeria Uno in Chicago, you'll also see the results of the health inspection, which in New York City appears as a single letter grade posted in the windows of all restaurants. Google, TripAdvisor, Zagat, and CitySearch are considering doing the same.
The hospitality industry in New York hates the letter grading system, saying it's inconsistent, arbitrary, and inaccurate. They recently sent Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman a letter asking him to hold off posting the ratings until the City Council has a chance to "reform" the system.
Yelp is unlikely to agree. They see publicizing this already quite public information as part of their mission. "Increasing the transparency and accessibility of important public information is another example of how San Francisco, New York and other municipalities are leading the charge in bettering citizens lives by fostering innovation," responded Mr. Stoppelman in a statement.
There's already been a hint of retaliation from NYC business owners, as seen in this letter from the owner of three downtown nightspots, declining to participate in some Yelp member drink specials.
But the controversy could lead New York City to change the rules. The council is planning to respond to business owners' criticism with some new legislation improving the inspection process.

If you just Boycott Yelp it will hurt them the same way they hurt you!
Do not ask customers to give you reviews.
Do not promote Yelp in any way.
If they have no content they will fold, just like many small business have done because of Yelp.
You will see over time ( if you stop asking people to give you reviews) you will only have negative reviews. Why?? Because Happy normal people dont use Yelp. It is a complaint board and nothing else.
If Yelp only has the real negative reviews it will go out of business.
Do not use Yelp. It is your content that keeps them alive.
Yelp is seriously flawed. Their use of the "algorithm" that is their "claim to fame" may be good for users (?) but does no justice for retailers in its sorely haphazard ways of filtering the wrong reviews. They need to either make their algorithms act as the company professes it does for equal, equitable and accurate representation or just go away. They are doing more damage than help and although they have 70M users, many of these users have no idea how much they are being misled by inaccurate or wrongly manipulated information. With the many lawsuits cropping up in regard to their business model, algorithms and operational philosophy, it's only a matter of time before "something" gets done or they're gone. I was approached by a Yelp sales rep selling a $300 a month package, that really didn't do much of anything, that "would safe my life". When during a 2.5 hour conversation I brought up the gross inaccuracies of their algorithm and how it severely skews the results he got quiet, ended the call and I have never heard from him again. Was it something that I said or is that you people are just purely ignorantly evil?

Mechanical Exfoliation
Liquid Phase Exfoliation
Sublimation on SiC and CVD Method
Applications of Graphene
About Graphenea
Graphene's unique properties have attracted a great deal of research attention. Teams around the world are working to develop potential applications for the material, ranging from aerospace, lighting and energy to electronic and optical devices. This article discusses four fabrication techniques and three potential applications of graphene.
The fabrication methods covered are chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sublimation on silicon carbide (SiC), liquid phase exfoliation, and mechanical exfoliation. The three potential applications considered are graphene batteries, optical transistors, and photodetectors.
Mechanical exfoliation is the original technique used to fabricate pure single-layer graphene in the Nobel Prize-winning research carried out by Geim and Novoselov at the University of Manchester.
Their technique involved using scotch tape to rip off layers from a sample of graphite, until only a single layer remained on a substrate. Although this method produces high-purity and high-quality graphene, it is difficult to effectively scale up for industrial production, and is not capable of producing graphene sheets larger than about 100µm across.
Liquid phase exfoliation produces a suspension of graphene flakes in a solvent, which can be deposited onto a substrate, or mixed with other chemicals to impart different functionalities.
This type of graphene is typically used for battery applications, but involves various physical and chemical processing steps, including oxidation of graphite and subsequent reduction of graphene oxide to graphene.
These additional processing steps result in a lower-quality graphene compared to other techniques. However, liquid exfoliation scales well for industrial production, and the quality of graphene produced is sufficient for some applications.
Sublimation of carbon atoms from a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate produces high-quality graphene films, but the high cost and limited size of the substrate are major shortcomings for this approach.
CVD growth provides a good compromise in terms of cost, size, and film quality. This technique is a chemical process which takes place in a vacuum furnace, and produces consistent, thin graphene layers in sheets up to several meters long.
The graphene films are grown on thin metal substrates such as copper, which are then etched away to leave the graphene to be transferred onto any other substrate required by the application.
The CVD process is versatile, and has now become the most widely used fabrication technique for graphene films. Figure 1 shows a CVD grown graphene on a silicon/silicon oxide substrate.
Figure 1. CVD grown graphene on silicon/silicon oxide substrate
Graphene absorbs light uniformly across the electromagnetic spectrum, from the visible range all the way to microwave and terahertz. The absorption is as low as 2.3%, which is attributable to the thinness of the film.
Electrons in graphene which have been excited to a higher energy state by absorbing incoming light have been shown to preferentially transfer their energy to neighbouring electrons, rather than radiating it as photons. This effectively multiplies the 'usability' of each photon - a key capability for future photovoltaic cells and photodetectors.
Another potential advanced application of graphene is in ultra-fast optical transistors using surface plasmons. Surface plasmons are light waves tightly confined to a conductor surface, such as graphene.
The light propagates with its normal velocity across the conducting surface - this means that transistors based on plasmons rather than electrons would be incredibly fast.
Initial studies have shown that graphene can switch propagation of plasmons on its surface on and off with electronic gating, like a standard transistor. Although this is early-stage research, Graphenea's contribution opens the door for graphene to be seriously considered as a potential platform.
Graphene also holds potential for energy storage purposes. A 50-µm thick battery was constructed using a graphene cathode and a lithium anode. This battery is flexible, and has an energy density in the range of supercapacitors, much higher than thin lithium batteries
Graphene certainly shows promise to dramatically transform the future of technology, but requires more efforts to realize commercial success. Graphenea is playing a key role in both fundamental and application-based research.
Graphenea is a leading graphene producer for industrial and research needs. Graphenea has developed a leading synthesis and transfer process to obtain high uniformity monolayer graphene films on any substrate.

With the aid of your smartphone and an app, the compact Cobra iRadar Atom is a powerful tool for monitoring the road ahead for speed traps and road hazards.
The Cobra iRadar is essentially a basic, albeit good, radar/laser detector. However, when paired with an iPhone running the iRadar app, it becomes a much more flexible and useful speed management tool.
The Cobra iRadar justifies its entry-level price as a good radar/laser detector. And when paired with a smartphone running the iRadar app, it becomes a much more flexible and useful speed management tool.
Whoa there, speed demon -- For $199, Cobra iRadar Atom keeps you in the know about local speed trackers around your area.
Though we took a look at it back at CES 2013, Cobra officially launched its iRadar Atom at CTIA this week.
Cobra's new-generation iRadar is smaller than the previous generation, but it also claims double the sensitivity.
The Cobra iRadar app for Android can be used alone to spot speed traps and road hazards, but its power lies in the connectivity with the iRadar hardware.

In a world where every hour of every day, the forces of good and evil battle and suffering continues, people ask the age-old question: Why must there be evil?
Eben Alexander M.D.'s 2012 book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife, expresses the reason as clearly as any I've ever read: "Evil was necessary because without it free will was impossible and without free will there could be no growth - no forward movement, no chance for us to become what God longed for us to be."
Dr. Alexander acknowledges that to be evil - or good - is a choice. What leads an individual to choose one ...

What's the weirdest thing you've had for dinner?
Tonight I had:
Mung beans tossed in butter, salt, and pepper. Mung beans. Yea… not ideal.
Frozen corn, made unfrozen in boiling water… tossed with butter, salt, and pepper.
A flour tortilla… while standing over my desk, looking glossy-eyed at my massive to-do list.
A sprig of parsley. I dunno. Because it was green and there on the counter.
Water from my water bottle… followed by a hearty slug of bourbon, poured over tiny ice cubes.
… I'm also really bad at re-filling the ice tray. Future husband, I'm sorry. I love you. I hope you hate ice.
And, for dessert, a frozen chocolate cupcake. I'm about 7 seconds away from going to grab another cupcake from the freezer. Believe that.
This is what I eat when left to my own devices. Clearly, I should not be left alone. I'm not sure how much longer I can survive like this… I'm a complete weirdo. Someone hold my hand and make me cook you dinner… that's the only way I eat like a regular person.
These avocados? See how nicely sliced they are? This is the sign that I'm cooking for others, and not just standing in my kitchen eating tortillas.
I like fruit in my salad. I especially like citrus. I super especially like citrus if it's sliced all fancylike.
Segmented. Totally classy, right?
Oranges are easy to segment. Once the peel is stripped, you just have to slice in between the natural orange segment markers/ skin bits/ pith marks… what the word I'm looking for?
I made dressing too!
The dressing is inspired by my favorite mason jar/ good olive oil/ fresh cracked pepper/ and Tracy's mom.
Salad dressing. Shaken. It's cathartic. Cats pay no attention.
But wait! Are my hands starting to look suspiciously 30 years old? Don't answer that. (Yea… they kinda are) ((Don't agree with that… thanks)).
This salad is simple, bright, and completely adaptable. Try grapefruit instead of orange segments. Peaches? Yes. Strawberries? Ok!
Arugula instead of Romaine? Do that? Did you say spinach? I like the way you think.
It's salad. No biggie. Make it your own… then serve it to others.
I'd also like to distract you with the crazy delicious bread I made to go along with this salad. It has strawberries on it, and I can't wait to tell you about it on Wednesday.
Look at this spread! Wine and bourbon and bread and such.
Avocado Orange Salad
serves 4 to 6 people
inspired by Shutterbean and yummy salady things
For the Salad:
1 large head of Romaine lettuce
1 Navel orange, segmented
2 ripe avocados, sliced
a handful of fresh, chopped flat leaf parsley is also nice
For the Dressing:
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 small garlic clove, finely minced
2 teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 egg yolk (if you don't want to use a raw egg, 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt is great!)
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and coarse ground black pepper to taste
To prepare the salad:
Coarsely dice and rinse the Romaine lettuce. Place in a large platter. Segment the orange by first slicing off about 1/2-inch of the bottom and top. Slice down the sides of the orange, cutting through all of the pith to reveal the orange flesh. At an angle, slice in between the natural orange segments. A clean orange slice should pop out. Easy! Halve and slice or dice the avocado. Sprinkle oranges segments and avocado slices over the lettuce.
To prepare the dressing:
Combine all ingredients except the olive oil, salt, and pepper in a jar with a sealing lid. Tighten the lid and give the ingredients a good shake. Remove the lid and add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Replace the lid and shake until dressing is well blended and emulsified. Drizzle over salad. Dressing will last, sealed in the refrigerator, for 3 or 4 days.

Lol, you r funny Joy. That thing you've called "weird dinner" is a quite common practice by mortals all around the world every now and then (and I proudly include myself in that list).
I wrote my first baking post this weekend, yay for me!!! :)
What a perfectly balanced summer salad- sweet, citrus, and creamy all in one on top of crisp lettuce!
Nice orange segments. Very well done…I tell my child and hubs to just eat the segment parts, the fibrous part, b/c I am not patient enough to segment them. I'd rather spend my precious kitchen time making…chocolate desserts:)
Or that salad. Looks great and I make my own salad dressing 99% of the time, too. Shaken in old glass jars is my method, also.
Thanks for the bread recipe tease :)
Love this salad. I make a similar one with sliced strawberries along with the oranges… and I also toast pine nuts into it. The dressing I make is similar too but I like the addition of garlic and vinegar in yours. Perfect spring salad! I could eat a vat of it.. and then a frozen cupcake!!!
Hey, there's nothing wrong with eating weird/having 30 year old looking hands/ and speaking in slash marks.
This salad dressing sounds delicious. I can hardly wait to read about that fab looking bread!
Love this! Love your recipes! Can't wait to hear about the bread with strawberries :)
Just got hooked on your blog.
Thank you.
This salad looks wonderful. I love the citrus in salad.
Hey girl, I know this isn't the right place for this reply but I just had to say I love your podcast! It really makes me giggle. I listen to it whilst I'm walking my dog. Can I make a request for a podcast about peanut butter? Anything about it. Just.. peanut butter. Or malted milk. Or both.
Hurry and make more podcasts!
PS I tried to leave a review on iTunes but it kept crashing on me, sorry.
Love this! Oranges make things so pretty!
This is so simple and elegant, I love it!
I'm totally with you there Joy- on my own dinner is toast. Or if I've feeling more adventurous toast and cheese. And if I'm really pushing the boat out toast and cheese and chocolate. That's why I have to be cooking for others, so I get variety at dinner.
That looks super delicious/simple/amazing.
I really need someone to hold my hand when I make salad dressing. It's my achilles heel. Weird right?
Your dinner looks really interesting and nutritious, not weird. A cupcake is well earned!
This Salad looks so simple but im sure it's delicious!
I love your recipes Joy! and your writing its amazing like always :)
I'd love if you could check my blog! im just getting started, i could use some advice!
Thank you and I Love you and your blog in a good way <3 haha

With paper prices skyrocketing over the past year, direct marketers of all sizes must examine the logic of their campaigns: To whom should they mail? How often? And why?
At Athletic Supply, in Dallas, Craig Rosen has made smart mailing his mission. Rosen heads up marketing for the award-winning sports-team-apparel catalog. Last year he analyzed the lifetime value of his various customer groups. His conclusions challenged his preconceived notions and helped him better allocate his marketing dollars:
List rental isn't always worth its price. In 1994 Rosen's house list (buyers in his database) yielded three times the net profit per order earned from the average rented list. So Rosen rents fewer lists today, and he's choosier about what he'll pay for.
Big spenders are overrated. In the past, when Rosen rented lists, he'd pay extra to select people who had histories of spending $50 or more on purchases from a single catalog. "One of the study's big surprises was that 'monetary select' wasn't so important," he reveals. For Athletic Supply, selecting the $50-plus buyer wasn't more profitable in the long run than a random selection. Rosen stopped paying the premium -- and saved $20,000 a year.
Print advertisements are no panacea. Classified ads are a time-proven way to generate sales and inquiries. But for Athletic Supply, print-ad respondents were lousy long-term customers. "Someone orders an advertised jersey and never buys again," Rosen says. "Meanwhile, I'm mailing to that person 12 times over the next two years." Not anymore. Rosen has dropped his space ads.
Alternative media can be very profitable. Encompassing almost anything other than the standard strategies of space ads and list rental, alternative media are often less expensive. Rosen has found that co-op mailings can be particularly profitable. He's tried ad inserts in credit-card bills and a special offer with Procter & Gamble. He gave space in his own catalog to GTE's NFL-theme calling card in exchange for the names of buyers GTE obtains from its Super Bowl ads and other venues. He also collects customers' addresses from manufacturers at trade shows. His 1995 goal: to add 100,000 names to his house list at little cost. As of July, he had collected 75,000 free.* * *
Athletic Supply studied the profitability of mail-order customers six months to a year after their initial purchase. FDC Donnelley Marketing (612-541-6500), in Minneapolis, conducted the analysis for a $15,000 fee, which, says Craig Rosen, "quickly paid for itself."* * *

Arts, culture, heritage and lifestyle in Bulli
Bulli is a historic coal mining village with reminders of its colourful history. A coastal town, it's at the foot of the steep coastal escarpment.
Must Do
About Bulli
At the northern extremity of suburban Wollongong, Bulli is a proud working town with many buildings and monuments that bear witness to the hardships and heroism of Australia's early mining history. In its pubs, churches, houses and public buildings, Bulli recaptures much of the flavour of a mining village of the 19th century.
The completion of the 665-m Sea Cliff Bridge, a masterpiece of engineering on the Grand Pacific Drive, is a great reason to take the slow road between Bulli and Sydney. Stop and walk along the bridge and revel in the coastal scenery.

On being honored by Chrysalis:
"I have always been really proud to be part of the philanthropic community in Hollywood. When I'm not working on a movie set, I raise money for my organization, which is Artists for Peace and Justice, and what we do is build schools in Haiti. We run the only free secondary school in Haiti, so we're all about sustainable assistance. That's what Chrysalis is about, so there's a connection between our two organizations because they are not just giving away free food or clothing drives."

Scott Gessler is the former Secretary of State of Colorado, having served from 2011 to 2015. He is a former business owner and elections attorney. Gessler is a member of the Republican Party.
Early life, education, and early career[edit]
Scott Gessler was born in Detroit, Michigan, his parents moved many times during his childhood but settled in a small suburb outside of Chicago, Illinois. He attended public schools and graduated from Riverside-Brookfield High School in 1983, where he excelled in extracurriculars.[citation needed] After high school, Gessler attended Yale University, where he obtained his bachelor's degree,[1] he would continue to the University of Michigan Law School where he received his Juris Doctorate.[2] Gessler later received an MBA at Northwestern University,[3] after doing so, he began his career as a federal prosecutor for the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., and served as a reservist in the United States Army for sixteen years.[4] After Gessler returned from serving in the Army, he re-located to Denver, Colorado where he began working for a small law practice, where he specialized in election law. In 2002, Gessler fought against gerrymandering in Colorado House and Senate districts.
Personal life[edit]
Scott Gessler is married to his wife Kristi, together they have a daughter and a son. Currently they reside in Denver.[5]
Gessler announced his candidacy for Colorado Secretary of State in late 2009, he did not face any opposition in the Republican party primary elections. In the general election, Gessler challenged Bernie Buescher, a popular Democratic incumbent[6] and Amanda Campbell, who was a member of the Constitution Party. Gessler won the election with over 49% of the vote.[7]
In 2011, Secretary of State Gessler filed an order requiring Denver County not to mail ballots to those who did not vote in 2010 and failed to respond to numerous mailings from the county clerks. Though counties had never mailed to these inactive voters for statewide November elections, both Pueblo and Denver, which are heavily Democratic counties, decided this would be the first time they would mail to inactive voters causing some to accuse Gessler of making the order for political reasons.[8][9][10]
In the lead-up to the 2012 elections, Gessler sent letters to voters who also showed proof of non-citizenship at their recent driver's license application. The letter asked the registered voters to confirm their citizenship. Many non-citizens voluntarily removed themselves from the rolls. Although Gessler never removed or threatened to remove anyone from the voter rolls, many liberal groups complained of his efforts to purge voters. He countered the criticisms of the campaign by saying his office "had spent $1.1m registering Colorado voters, an initiative which netted more Democrats than Republicans, and that the state's electoral roll was cleaner than ever. He compared his campaign to installing fire alarms. 'Even if a building has no history of fires, it's something you do.'"[11]
Ethics investigation[edit]
An investigation and hearing conducted by the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission resulted in a unanimous 5-0 vote finding that Gessler violated the state discretionary fund statute by spending roughly $2000 in government money on a political event, the Republican National Lawyers Association meeting in Sarasota, Florida in August 2012.[12][13] Gessler appealed the findings in court; however, a Denver District Court judge ruled in favor of the Commission and ultimately found Gessler guilty.[14]
