May 14, 2012 (BURBANK, Ill.) (WLS) -- A new bride was found stabbed to death over the weekend in the bathtub of her southwest suburban apartment.
An autopsy revealed the woman died from multiple stab wounds. Police are now saying her death is being investigated as a homicide.
The body of Estrella Carrera was discovered Sunday afternoon in the 7800-block of South Rutherford Burbank. So far, authorities have had little to say about her murder.
Carrera was a mother of two. The bathtub in which she was found was dry.
According to sources, Carrera was wearing a wedding dress or some other type of formal dress.
An autopsy completed Monday determined that she died of multiple stab wounds.
"They were going around looking in all the dumpsters and behind the dumpsters near White Hen. They were searching for everything until about 7 o'clock at night," said Jason Tokarczyk, the victim's neighbor.
Carrera's body was discovered after her sister became alarmed when she could not contact the woman, who had failed to pick up her two children -- a young daughter and a 2-year-old son -- who were in the care of relatives.
Family members went to her home and knocked on the door without getting an answer on Saturday.
Police were called to conduct a well-being check.
"It's a Mexican lady and her baby. I don't know...what it is," said Theresa Wilbanks, also a neighbor.
Carrera was last seen at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday after her wedding the evening before. On Friday, it is believed she got married to the father of her youngest child.
No marriage certificate is on file because it has not been recorded officially.
Sources say Carrera and a 30-year-old Southwest Side man applied for a marriage license earlier this month.
Lisa Spring lived next door to the woman for about a year. The former neighbor says Carrera moved out of a Chicago home the couple shared a few months ago.
"I didn't know them that well, but in passing, we would say hi and how are you. I can't believe it," Spring said.
Monday afternoon, as the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force investigated, Burbank police had not given a motive for the crime, but said the stabbing was an isolated domestic incident.
That information did little to comfort residents in the area.
"People and families walk their pets...It's kind of weird. It's kind of disturbing that this happened with everyone just around," Alma Estrada said.
Police would not say whether they found a weapon or made any arrests. They also would not say where the car belonging to the victim was located Monday.

I was inspired by Sophie Bifield's cakes (I really love her work). Accented with edible silver, silver and pearl dragees and molded buttons. All carrot cake with cream cheese filling and frosted in buttercream which is the birthday girl's favorite too. |

Ah, September. Back to school and, for many, back to church.
Many congregations kick off a new program year this month, rolling out Sunday School with a picnic, carnival or other festivities.
And after a leisurely summer, the church gets back to the business of teaching people about the Christian faith.
For many traditional, older mainline congregations, the party is a small one. Education wings built for bustling Sunday school classes in the 1950s are now the realm of secular, weekday preschools, whose rent helps pay the congregation's bills.
Somewhere along the way, teaching denominational doctrine lost its appeal. We shouldn't be surprised.
A couple of weeks ago, the Scripture read in many congregations was a passage from Mark in which Jesus quotes Isaiah: "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines."
And then Jesus tells the Pharisees, "You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition."
That ought to sting a little, especially for historic, mainline denominations steeped in tradition.
There's lots of good and rich stuff in that tradition. But the church must always keep in mind the possibility that tradition can also get in the way of the primary Christian mission of encouraging and nurturing an ongoing, lifelong relationship with God.
When Jim Naughton, a legendary journalist and former political writer for The Plain Dealer, died last month, I was struck by this quotation in his obituary in The New York Times.
"The role of the manager is to get the bureaucracy out of the way of the people going after a great story," Naughton once said.
As a former newspaperman myself, those words rang true -- and they extended into my new calling as a pastor in a denomination rich in history, theology and tradition.
Here's my rewrite of Naughton's thought: Sometimes, the role of a pastor is to get the church out of the way of people seeking God. Or, better yet: Sometimes, the role of a Christian is to get the church out of the way of people seeking God.
That means an approach to Christian education that encourages people young and old and in between to explore their faith, to wrestle with Scripture and wrestle with God in their search for meaning and purpose.
The era of indoctrinating children and adults in the faith, isolated from the broader world, is over.
Last winter, I saw lifelong Lutherans in my congregation transformed by the suggestion that it's OK to have doubts.
"Liberating" is what some of them called it. And they've been wrestling with Scripture ever since, engaged with God in regular conversation about life and meaning.
This year, we're putting aside traditional Lutheran confirmation. That's normally a two-year process in which junior high kids are fed and quizzed on doctrine, culminating in a ceremony that is often the last time the kids and their parents will be seen in church until a wedding, baptism or a funeral. Maybe Christmas and Easter.
Instead, a small group of middle and high school students in "Faith Walk" started out this month with a simple question: Who is God?
We'll explore that by looking at our Christian tradition as well as Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Sikh and others, learning about where our faith fits into our daily lives and into this big multicultural world.
There's not an end point to "Faith Walk." It's the beginning of a lifelong journey with God. And it's rooted in an understanding that our faith leads us not to rote Sunday school answers but to a life of wrestling with meaning and understanding -- yet assured of God's presence and love.
The Rev. Mark Rollenhagen is the pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Lakewood. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The motorcycle ride, consisting of an 1,800 bike-procession through Western Maryland and Northern Virginia on Aug. 19, will require closing the Dulles Greenway, Dulles Toll Road, Interstate 66 and Route 110 South, for at least an hour, the article said.
The police-escorted choppers will begin their trip in Northern Virginia and congestion is expected to be at its height between noon and 7 p.m., but officials also predict further traffic overflow onto the Capital Beltway and George Washington Parkway even after the other highways reopen, according to the Post.

The Microsoft global infrastructure of Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, and Office SharePoint Server 2007 created a heavy demand on backup and restore resources. Additionally, increased use of these systems created extremely large data stores that had challenging environments for backups and restores. |
Microsoft IT used Data Protection Manager 2007 to significantly reduce the time, effort, and system resources necessary to help protect Exchange Server, SQL Server, and SharePoint Server. |
Microsoft Corporation has operations in more than 80 countries worldwide. As more information is created through the collaborative software suites that Microsoft designs, the operations that support this global infrastructure face increasing demands. Microsoft IT supports this global infrastructure through three major data centers located in the United States, Ireland, and Singapore. These centralized data centers provide services such as document collaboration through Office SharePoint Server, Exchange Server, and numerous applications that SQL Server supports.
The Microsoft global infrastructure relies heavily on data systems. As a result, the solution for backing up these systems needs to meet the following key goals:
- Reduce the time needed to back up assets
- Reduce the Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) time for user-driven restores
- Reduce the complexity of backup systems
This case study describes Microsoft IT's deployment of Data Protection Manager 2007 to address its backup needs. This paper is intended for enterprise decision makers and chief information officers who are considering the deployment of a similar solution in their environments.
Tape-based backups have historically been the standard in the enterprise. Microsoft typically used tape media for backups of its large database-driven systems. Although tape-based backups are typically the ideal method for storing backups off-site, they consume resources and therefore need to be run outside normal business hours. As the databases grow, so do backup times and the resources that are needed to perform the backups. Additionally, tape-based recoveries are susceptible to tape hardware problems as well as recovering data at a much slower rate than the backup processes.
Although off-site storage is an essential part of a disaster recovery plan, numerous restores are provided each year for customers of Microsoft IT. These restores are typically for users who have accidentally deleted a file or for server administrators who need to recover from isolated hardware failure. Historically, Microsoft IT has relied on a time-consuming process for backing up and restoring files that are needed by the business units that the team supports.
Although Data Protection Manager 2006 successfully served Microsoft for backing up branch offices, the data stores for Exchange Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2007, and SQL Server 2005 were still using traditional backup methods with tape. Microsoft looked for a solution that would:
- Reduce service level agreements (SLAs) for backup and restore time.
- Support backup of very large information stores.
- Use technology that would enable backups to be performed during business hours.
- Reduce the backup windows—the time needed for backups to finish—for Exchange Server, SQL Server, and SharePoint Server.
- Handle disk-to-disk backups.
- Handle disk-to-disk-to-tape backups for off-site storage.
- Provide native support for Exchange Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2007, and SQL Server 2005.
- Bring the benefits of Data Protection Manager 2006 to database-driven Microsoft applications.
The Data Protection Manager 2007 solution includes the following features that Microsoft IT found to be important:
- Coexistence with previous products during the transition to the new product
- A simple and efficient and simple agent.
- Low CPU utilization
- Incremental and differential backup support
- Full support of the latest versions of SharePoint Server, Exchange Server, and SQL Server
- Self-service recovery for user files
- Directed recovery of SQL Server databases
- Item-level recovery for Exchange Server 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007
Microsoft IT has been an early adopter of Data Protection Manager 2007 worldwide since early in the beta release phases of the product. Microsoft IT has used Data Protection Manager 2007 to help protect servers in several locations and data centers worldwide. This use extends to file servers running Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005.
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 Protection
Microsoft IT has file servers worldwide, and more than 600 of them were protected in the initial deployment of Data Protection Manager at Microsoft. These file servers and their users were able to take advantage of the built-in support of Data Protection Manager 2007 for Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), which enables backups of open files and for end-user restores. These backups resulted in faster recovery times for users of file servers.
Servers that Data Protection Manager 2007 backed up during the rollout consisted primarily of the servers supporting SQL Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007, and Office SharePoint Server 2007. By using VSS, Data Protection Manager 2007 can back up Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 servers for fast recovery. The backup includes system state and files that are shared via Windows Server 2003 File Services and enables users to recover their own lost or damaged files.
Exchange Server 2007 Protection
Microsoft not only produces the Exchange Server 2007 messaging platform, it also uses Exchange Server 2007 extensively as a customer. This means that at any time, thousands of mailboxes are in both production and testing. Traditional backups have presented the same challenges to Microsoft IT that many other organizations face today. Because of the amount of data stored in Exchange Server, only a single backup to tape each night is feasible. Tapes also become increasingly cumbersome on a large scale, with multiple VSS-based backup solutions that can be difficult to manage across multiple platforms.
Microsoft IT currently uses eight servers running Data Protection Manager 2007 to help protect three Exchange Server 2007 environments, including production and test environments. Production mailbox servers run cluster continuous replication (CCR) configurations. Data Protection Manager is not only cluster aware but also cluster competent, able to communicate and use the preferred node backup method. Data Protection Manager helps to protect more than 22,000 mailboxes equaling approximately 14 terabytes of mail data.
A growing environment with this much data can be challenging for nightly tape backups, but with Data Protection Manager 2007, each server is synchronized every 15 minutes. Each recovery point is kept online for 14 days, resulting in 1,344 recovery points available to restore from. Data Protection Manager helps to protect data based on an Initial Replication (IR) that captures the entire disk that is protected. After the initial replication, Data Protection Manager needs to capture only changes through the agent that runs on each server. These additional synchronizations are called Recovery Points (RP).
With this strategy, Data Protection Manager 2007 administrators can easily recover entire storage groups, mailbox databases, or even single mailboxes from any hour in a day. Administrators also have the ability to save critical backups for as long as necessary. One of the biggest benefits for Exchange Server administrators at Microsoft has been the significant reduction of the backup window. The backup window is now only as long as the time that is required to capture disk changes, even though a full restore is available at any time that a synchronization has finished.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 Protection
Microsoft relies on Office SharePoint Server 2007 in its Singapore and Redmond data centers. The servers hold large amounts of critical business documents, but have historically been more challenging to protect through traditional tape backups. Because of the amount of data that is stored in Office SharePoint Server, a single backup to tape took five hours each night. The backup process also used about 50 percent of the CPU resources on the servers, preventing the feasibility of backups during business hours.
Table 1 compares the traditional backup method with the current use of Data Protection Manager 2007 for the Singapore data center.

As shown in the preceding table, Data Protection Manager 2007 reduced the backup window for synchronization. This reduction resulted in more time for other maintenance tasks on the same servers and more time for user access to these systems. Because Data Protection Manager needs to capture only changes to the disks, each daily job decreased from 961 GB to 6 GB. This reduction represents a large savings in tape resources in just one week of backups and process time from using Data Protection Manager 2007. Additionally, the SharePoint Server 2007 Web farms that Data Protection Manager helped to protect were under heavy usage, which means that the protection solution needed to be fast, scalable, and non-intrusive to the applications.
Table 2 shows initial replication and recovery point metrics for two important Microsoft internal SharePoint 2007 based sites, MSWeb and InfoWeb.

As the preceding table shows, internal SharePoint Web sites are easily and quickly protected via Data Protection Manager 2007. After the initial replication has finished, very large stores can be backed up in a matter of minutes instead of hours. Recovery points take as little as 25 minutes for the same data set each time a backup is needed. Additionally, Data Protection Manager 2007 captures only the changes made to the disk, so each new backup is less than 4 GB.
These backup metrics capture not only the SQL databases for SharePoint Server, but also the farm, site, and document levels for recovery. This means each recovery point that Data Protection Manager creates represents the ability to recover any or all aspects of the SharePoint farm at increments as short as every 15 minutes. Data Protection Manager enables Microsoft IT to enjoy this increased level of protection with the following features:
- Data Protection Manager coexists with earlier backup products during the transition to a Data Protection Manager-only environment.
- Document restores can recover a single document without having to restore the entire content database.
- Data Protection Manager provides protection for SharePoint Server 2007-based servers and SQL Server 2005 content and configuration databases.
- Restores run at wire and system speeds, rather than at slower tape restore speeds.
- No dedicated backup network is necessary.
In summary, Data Protection Manager provides backup and protection features for SharePoint Server that reduce the maintenance windows and operational costs associated with helping to protect mission-critical servers.
SQL Server 2005 Protection
Data Protection Manager 2007 natively supports SQL Server 2005. Microsoft IT found that Data Protection Manager was extremely proficient at protecting SQL Server resources. As in many organizations, a large portion of the environment that Microsoft IT's initial deployment of Data Protection Manager 2007 helped to protect consisted of SQL Server-based servers that provided content and configuration storage to numerous SharePoint farms.
As part of the Data Protection Manager 2007 rollout, Microsoft IT deployed 72 SQL Server-based servers and clusters. Of these servers and clusters, Data Protection Manager helped to protect 42 terabytes of data on SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000-based servers. The protection of the production SQL Server 2005-based servers has not required a dedicated network, and is easily supported on the existing 100-megabit and 1-gigabit connections that the servers use for other tasks. The SQL Server administrators have enjoyed the following benefits:
- Block-level backups significantly reduce nightly backups over traditional disk-to-disk and tape-based methods. Block-level backups record changes to the physical disk instead of individual files.
- A Data Protection Manager-based client uses about 15 percent of the CPU on production servers, compared with 30 percent from traditional backups.
- Directed restores for customers is very simplified through the use of the DPM console.
In addition to being more efficient than traditional tape or flat file backups—and supporting clustering—Data Protection Manager 2007 provides seamless integration into active/passive clusters and log shipping scenarios.
Active/Passive Clusters
Microsoft uses several traditional SQL Server-based clusters in production, and used Data Protection Manager 2007 to backup key SharePoint 2007 farms in Redmond and Singapore. As shown in Figure 1, the Data Protection Manager agent connects to the cluster as a single unit and automatically detects the presence of the SQL Server-based cluster. Failover and failback are seamless and do not require any intervention or actions with Data Protection Manager.
Figure 1. Data Protection Manager and active/passive SQL Server clustering
Log Shipping
There are many instances in the enterprise in which SQL Server log shipping is required to help protect SQL Server-based servers. In a log shipping environment, SQL Server copies transaction logs to other SQL Server log shipping recipient servers. This technique enables the remote server or servers to replay transaction logs and to recover the SQL databases on a completely different server.
Figure 2 shows how Data Protection Manager integrates with SQL Server in a SQL Server log shipping scenario.
Figure 2. Data Protection Manager and SQL Server log shipping scenario
Data Protection Manager fully supports the log shipping feature with the following requirements:
- The solution features one SQL Server-based server with redundant databases.
- Data Protection Manager treats each copy as a unique drive.
- Redundant backups require both drives to have protection.
Key Features of Data Protection Manager 2007
Microsoft IT used Data Protection Manager 2007 to take advantage of several key features that provide for simple, centralized management of backups and associated resources, as well as fast and efficient backups of Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, and Virtual Server 2005. Native support for these technologies results in a backup infrastructure that is stable, fast, and efficient for backups and restores alike.
Fast RPO
Data Protection Manager supports point-in-time recoveries without the need for constant replication or synchronization. RPO time is reduced because Data Protection Manager can seamlessly integrate a point-in-time restore by integrating logs and existing backups.
Native Support for Server Products
With native support for Exchange Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, and Virtual Server 2005, administrators can take advantage of fast backups and recoveries with a simple interface and an efficient agent.
Self-Service Restores
By using the VSS of servers running Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, users can recover files from Data Protection Manager backups without seeking support. This results in a significantly faster response time and reduces the load on administrative staff.
Seamless Support for Backup Media
Tape libraries and drives are connected to centralized Data Protection Manager servers, eliminating the need for tape devices to be attached to individual application servers. The result is a consolidated tape infrastructure that is transparent to the systems and applications that are being backed up.
Small and Efficient Backup Agent
The Data Protection Manager agent uses very little system CPU, memory, or disk space during the capture of recovery points. Because the capture of recovery points uses so little CPU and disk space, backups can be captured during business hours with little or no impact on the production system. Typical CPU load of the agent was less than 15 percent. The agent is also very easy to deploy via the Data Protection Manager console or via a packaged application through the use of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Microsoft IT deployed to more than 600 hosts with a success rate higher than 97 percent.
Initial Replication
The first step after the installation of the Data Protection Manager agent to a server that needs protection is the initial replication. This process captures a block-level image of the entire set of protected disks. This process takes approximately as much time and as many resources as a traditional full disk-to-disk backup. Initial replication needs to occur only once per server.
Recovery Points
After the initial replication has finished, each new backup needs to capture only block-level changes to the disks. The generation of this new backup is called a recovery point. Recovery points take little time because they need to capture only the changes from the previous recovery point at the disk level. They require very little disk space, CPU resources, or network resources. Based on these minimal needs, Microsoft IT can protect servers on 1-gigabit and 100-megabit networks without the need for dedicated backup networks.
Disk-to-Disk Backups
Initial replications and recovery points are stored initially on inexpensive disk arrays. These arrays enable multiple revisions to be stored locally on the server running Data Protection Manager to provide extremely fast access for the recovery of data.
Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape Backups
The initial replication and recovery point information that is stored on the Data Protection Manager disk arrays can be easily scheduled and copied to disk, tape drives, and libraries. This feature allows for tapes to be sent off-site for disaster recovery and compliance. Because backups have been abstracted from the clients, tape schedules can occur during normal business hours independent of client backups.
Native Exchange Server 2007 Support
Data Protection Manager helps protect Exchange Server 2007 and is not only cluster aware but also cluster competent, meaning that Data Protection Manager can detect cluster configurations and can back up accordingly. Data Protection Manager therefore supports single copy cluster (SCC), local continuous replication (LCR), CCR, and standby continuous replication (SCR with Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1) cluster configurations. Data Protection Manager helps protect Exchange Server by storage group, but can easily restore a single storage group, mail database, or mailbox.
Native Office SharePoint Server 2007 Support
Data Protection Manager supports Office SharePoint Server 2007 as well, which helps protect the application at the SQL database, SharePoint farm, Web site, and document level. Although SharePoint Server has a built-in Recycle Bin for deleted items, Data Protection Manager can help protect every component of the farm. Documents can be restored to the original path or to an alternate path, if necessary.
Native SQL Server 2005 Support
Database servers running SQL Server 2005 are critical to enterprise applications. With Data Protection Manager, the servers backed up. Data Protection Manager synchronizes changes to the disk, so recoveries are fast and easy. This technique means that SQL Server can be backed up during business hours without lengthy tape backups.
Challenges in Deployment
As with any enterprise IT environment, the presence of multiple server platforms can create numerous challenges for data protection. Differing backup media formats, servers in different countries and time zones, and different maintenance windows for different products and locations all contribute to a challenging deployment of any product.
Working inside a corporate IT environment requires working within clearly defined maintenance windows. Global deployments can also present a challenge to businesses, adding an additional layer of complexity to infrastructure support. By using the Data Protection Manager 2007 console for management and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 to deploy the Data Protection Manager agent, Microsoft IT was able to deploy over 600 agents worldwide quickly.
Microsoft IT deployed numerous servers of varying types for the solution. The types included file servers, SQL Server-based servers, and SharePoint Farms. Figure 3 shows the number of each type of server that Microsoft IT deployed.
Figure 3. The number of each type of server in the Microsoft IT deployment
Microsoft IT supports numerous systems and a large amount of data on a global scale every day. For the initial deployment, Microsoft deployed Data Protection Manager 2007 with the following statistics:
- 646 total servers
- 16 Exchange Server 2007 mailbox servers
- 72 SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000-based servers
- 3 SharePoint Server 2007 farms
- More than 100 terabytes of protected data
As shown in Figure 4, the automated deployment success rate for the Data Protection Manager agent was higher than 97 percent. Microsoft IT achieved this number through an automated deployment process via Microsoft Systems Management Server and a packaged installation file for the Data Protection Manager agent. Microsoft IT needed to install very few clients through the Data Protection Manager console. This deployment includes servers of varying configurations and connectivity worldwide. Packaging the Data Protection Manager 2007 agent has proved to be an effective process.
Figure 4. Automatic and manual deployment metrics for the Data Protection Manager 2007 agent
Real-World Recovery Scenario
Microsoft IT realized a key benefit through the real-world usage of Data Protection Manager. For example, 344 GB of SQL Server 2005 and SharePoint Server 2007 data was lost on a server farm. With the help of Data Protection Manager, administrators recovered the entire set of 344-GB files in 2 hours and 46 minutes. Data of this size on tape would have meant a lengthy restore from one or more tapes. Additionally, Microsoft IT performed this recovery over the shared application network without the need for a dedicated backup network. Using the shared application network enabled Data Protection Manager administrators to achieve a faster recovery time and to realize lower maintenance costs.
Data Protection Manager 2007 offers key functionality to organizations of many sizes through efficient use of server, disk, and tape resources. This efficiency is achieved through a small and efficient agent that needs to synchronize only block-level changes to a disk andData Protection Manage capitalizes on those changes to present application-aware restore options.
This implementation has enabled Microsoft IT to simplify the backup and restore infrastructure for many large and heavily used applications and databases, while reducing the costs that are associated with maintenance windows and application server load, and costs related to deployment and management.
As a result, the backups of many large enterprise collaboration and communication server platforms finish in a manner of minutes each day. This is a marked improvement over the time and resources required for traditional disk-to-disk and disk-to-tape methods. Data Protection Manager is a key part of support and protection at Microsoft.

The Prudent Investor Rule and Trust Asset Allocation: An Empirical AnalysisMax M. SchanzenbachNorthwestern University - School of Law Robert H. SitkoffHarvard Law School Spring 2010 American College of Trust and Estate Counsel Journal, Vol. 35, p. 314, 2010 Harvard Law and Economics Discussion Paper No. 668 Northwestern Law & Econ Research Paper No. 11-05 Abstract: This article reports the results of an empirical study of the effect of the new prudent investor rule on asset allocation by institutional trustees. Using federal banking data spanning 1986 through 1997, the authors find that, after adoption of the new prudent investor rule, institutional trustees held about 1.5 to 4.5 percentage points more stock at the expense of "safe" investments. This shift to stock amounts to a 3 to 10 percent increase in stock holdings and accounts for roughly 10 to 30 percent of the over-all increase in stock holdings in the period under study. The authors conclude that the adoption of the new prudent investor rule had a significant effect on trust asset allocation.

Students feel pretty content with the various transportation options at UW. The shuttle bus is probably one of the more popular options. Students are able to take this up the ominous Bascom Hill, and around to the farthest academic building on campus. The bus runs about every fifteen minutes beginning at 7 a.m., and goes till 11 p.m.
In general, most places on campus or off are within a walking distance. However, UW and the city of Madison offer ways for students to go farther distances in shorter amounts of time. Therefore, public transportation is very accessible. As a student, you get a free bus pass that is good through the semester. As long as you can read a bus schedule, you are good to go. Lots of people use the busses to get to campus, go to the mall, or catch a movie. There is also a free bus that circles the campus to take students to academic buildings that are a little farther away. Madison also has an abundance of cabs that are more than willing to drive you anywhere. Of course, they are more expensive than the buses, but when you have bags of groceries, it's worth it. Madison also offers ways to get out of the city or state. The airport is only a few miles from campus, as is the Greyhound bus station. Travel agents are also available to help students plan getaways. Bottom line is that wherever you may need to go, there will be some means of getting you there.
Students are able to pick up a free bus pass at the beginning of each semester. Students living further off campus find the bus system as a great way to get around with few delays.

Tributes to Hereford firefighter
12:01pm Wednesday 2nd May 2012 in News By Paul Rogers
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service has paid tribute to Watch Commander Chris Hobbs who passed away suddenly on Saturday.
Mr Hobbs, aged 48, was a Watch Commander on the Retained Duty System at Hereford, working out of the fire station in St Owen Street throughout his 20-year career with the Service.
He joined as a retained firefighter in July 1991, progressed to Crew Commander in 2001 and then achieved promotion to Watch Commander last September.
Chief Fire Officer Mark Yates said: "I know I speak for everyone when I say that Chris's death has caused shock and sadness across the Service. He was a very popular officer at Hereford Fire Station, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
"Our thoughts are with Chris's loved ones and friends, and the Service will continue to offer its full support to them at this most difficult time."
Mr Hobbs was also known in the local footballing community and played for and managed Holme Lacy.

Lightbank, the technology investment vehicle from Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) co-founders Brad Keywell and Eric Lefkofsky, has introduced a new startup accelerator called Lightbank Start.
(To read about ten overused startup buzzwords, click here.)
Designed to help young entrepreneurs build a tech startup with the help and support of Keywell and Lefkofsky, Lightbank Start provides CS majors (or those with equivalent mad tech skills) with the opportunity to receive $100,000 in funding. By signing with Lightbank Start, entrepreneurs will be able to work with the firm in its Chicago office as part of a 50/50 partnership.
Interested parties are encouraged to create a video and share their story with Lightbank. Entrepreneurs can submit their pitch at lightbankstart.com.
On Twitter, the startup community has been eagerly waiting for more information regarding Lightbank Start.
After the announcement, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) users provided both positive and negative remarks regarding the new accelerator.
"$100k to give away half of your company?" Alex Haefner questioned. "THIS IS MADNESS."
But Alex Southern took a more positive stance, asking, "In my next life can I be Eric Lefkofsky? He wins on every deal ;)"
Ultimately, Lightbank said that its goal is to help "the best young tech talent in the country realize their dream of entrepreneurship," the company wrote on its site. "Create your own path, build the next big tech company."
One of the next big tech companies could be Eventup, an online community marketplace for event space listings and bookings, which recently secured $1.8 million in a seed round that was led by Lightbank.
Tony Adam, the founder and CEO of Eventup, told Virtual-Strategy Magazine that this investment has helped the company "continue to grow the number of locations."
In May 2011, Benzinga was welcomed into the Lightbank family with a $1.5 million investment.

Malcolm Bligh Turnbull (born 24 October 1954) is an Australian politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Wentworth in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs since 2004. He was the Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Liberal Party from 2008 to 2009, and has been the Minister for Communications since 18 September 2013.[1]
Turnbull was educated at Sydney Grammar School and the University of Sydney, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. He then attended Brasenose College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Law. Before entering politics, he worked as a journalist, lawyer, investment banker, and venture capitalist. In 1993, he became the Chairman of the Australian Republican Movement, a position he held until 2000.
In September 2008, Turnbull was elected Leader of the Liberal Party, becoming the Leader of the Opposition. In November 2009, he ordered the Liberal Party to support the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme proposed by the Labor Government. This decision split the Liberal Party, and following a leadership challenge by Tony Abbott on 1 December, Turnbull lost the leadership by one vote.
Early life and education[edit]
Malcolm Turnbull was born on 24 October 1954 to Bruce Bligh Turnbull and Coral Magnolia Lansbury,[2] who married the following year.[3] His father was a hotel broker; his mother was a radio actor, writer and academic and a cousin of the British film and television actor Angela Lansbury.[4] They separated when Malcolm was nine and he was brought up by his father.[5][6][7] He spent his first three years of school at Vaucluse Public School. He continued his primary education at the Sydney Grammar Prep, St Ives. He then went to Sydney Grammar School's senior school at College Street in Sydney. He was senior school co-captain in 1972, as well as winning the Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition. In 1987, in memory of his late father, he set up the Bruce Turnbull means-tested scholarship at Sydney Grammar, which offers full remission of fees to a student unable to afford them.
Turnbull graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. While at university in Sydney he worked as a political journalist for Nation Review, Radio 2SM and Channel 9 covering state politics.[citation needed] He then studied for a Bachelor of Civil Law degree at Brasenose College, University of Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar from 1978 to 1980. While at Oxford he worked for The Sunday Times as well as contributing to newspapers and magazines in the United States and Australia.[8]
After graduating from Oxford, Turnbull returned to Australia and began working as a barrister. He left the bar in 1983 to become General Counsel and Secretary for Australian Consolidated Press Holdings Group, from 1983 to 1985. During this time he defended Kerry Packer against the "Goanna" allegations made by the Costigan Commission.
In partnership with Bruce McWilliam he established his own law firm, Turnbull McWilliam, in 1986. In that year Turnbull defended Peter Wright, a former MI5 agent, who authored the book Spycatcher, who successfully blocked the British Government's attempts to suppress the book's publication, and Turnbull later wrote a book on the trial.[9] In 1987, he established an investment banking firm, Whitlam Turnbull & Co Ltd, in partnership with Neville Wran (former Labor Premier of New South Wales) and the former State Bank of New South Wales chief executive, Nicholas Whitlam (son of Gough Whitlam, former Labor Prime Minister of Australia). Whitlam parted company with the others in 1990, and, from then until 1997, when Turnbull moved to become a managing director and later a partner of Goldman Sachs, the firm operated as Turnbull & Partners Ltd.
Turnbull was also chair of a large Australia Internet Service Provider, OzEmail (1994–99), a director of FTR Holdings Ltd (1995–2004), chair and managing director of Goldman Sachs Australia (1997–2001) and a partner with Goldman Sachs and Co (1998–2001). In the 1990s, Turnbull was chairman of Axiom Forest Resources, which conducted logging in the Solomon Islands under the trading name Silvania Forest Products. The latter's work was described by the Australian International Development Aid Bureau as a "clear-felling operation", and the then Solomon Islands Prime Minister Solomon Mamaloni reportedly threatened to close it down for "constant breaches of logging practices", according to a critical article in the Solomon Times.[10][11]
In 1999, Turnbull sold OzEmail to the then-telecommunications giant MCI Worldcom. Turnbull's stake was reportedly worth nearly A$60 million. In the same year he used his software and investment company FTR Holdings Ltd to take positions in a number of Internet businesses including Webcentral and Chaos.com.[12]
In May 2002, Turnbull appeared before the HIH Insurance royal commission and was questioned on Goldman Sachs' involvement on the possible privatisation of one of the acquisitions of the collapsed insurance company. The Royal Commissioner's Report made no adverse findings against him or Goldman Sachs.[13]
Political career[edit]
Australian Republican Movement[edit]
From 1993 to 2000, Turnbull was the chairman of the Australian Republican Movement. He was an elected delegate at the Australian Constitutional Convention 1998 in Canberra in February.[14] At the Convention, Turnbull cautioned against mixing the roles of President and Prime Minister and ultimately supported the Bi-partisan appointment republican model adopted by the Convention.[15] Turnbull was active in the unsuccessful 1999 referendum campaign to establish an Australian republic. He published a book on the subject, called Fighting for the Republic. In 2000 Turnbull retired as chairman of the Australian Republican Movement. Turnbull left the board of Ausflag in 1994 after being asked for his resignation and in 2004 joined the Australian National Flag Association.[16]
Early Liberal Party involvement[edit]
Turnbull was Federal Treasurer of the Liberal Party and a member of the party's federal and New South Wales executives from 2002 to 2003 and was also a director of the Menzies Research Centre, the Liberal Party's research centre.
Election to Parliament[edit]
Turnbull first showed interest in entering the Australian Parliament in 1981. He ran for Liberal Party preselection for the seat of Wentworth in the eastern suburbs of Sydney in the Wentworth 1981 by-election, but was beaten by Peter Coleman.[5] In 2003, Turnbull announced that he was again seeking a parliamentary seat. In early 2004 he won another hotly contested battle for Wentworth, defeating Peter King, the sitting Liberal member. King ran for the seat at the 2004 election as an independent. This turned the traditionally safe Liberal electorate into an electoral wildcard, the contest for the seat becoming a three-man race between Turnbull, King and Labor candidate David Patch. During the campaign, Turnbull spent over $600,000 on electoral expenditure.[17] The Liberal primary vote fell 10 per cent, but Turnbull still won on King's preferences.
Howard Government minister[edit]
Announcing his cabinet reshuffle on 24 January 2006, the Prime Minister John Howard promoted Turnbull from the backbench to Parliamentary Secretary, with special responsibility for water. In this new capacity he reported directly to the Prime Minister. On 26 September 2006, John Howard announced the creation, within the department of the Prime Minister, of the new "Office of Water Resources" to address the problem of drought in Australia. Turnbull was in charge of this office until he was elevated by Prime Minister John Howard to head the Environment and Water Resources portfolio in January 2007.
In his position as Environment Minister, Turnbull approved a proposed $1.7 billion Bell Bay Pulp Mill in Tasmania's north, near Launceston.[18] His final approval of the Bell Bay Pulp Mill project of Gunns Ltd came on 4 October 2007. Turnbull's approval followed a report by the Government's chief scientist Jim Peacock on the project's potential environmental impact, which requires the project to meet 48 "strict environmental" conditions.
In February 2007, Turnbull was criticised for claiming a government allowance of $175 a night and paying it to his wife as rent while living in a townhouse owned by her in Canberra.[19]
During the 2007 election campaign, Turnbull announced that the then Government would contribute $10 million to the investigation of an untried Russian technology that aims to trigger rainfall from the atmosphere, even when there are no clouds. Literature suggests that the technology is based on bogus science.[citation needed] The Australian Rain Corporation presented research documents written in Russian, explained by a Russian researcher who spoke to local experts in Russian.[20]
Although Turnbull claimed that Australian Rain Corporation is Australian-based, investigations have shown that it is in fact 75 per cent Swiss-owned. It was also revealed that a prominent stakeholder in the Australian Rain Corporation, Matt Handbury, is a nephew of Rupert Murdoch. Turnbull has refused to answer questions regarding Matt Handbury's contribution to the Wentworth Forum, the main fund-raising organisation for Turnbull's 2007 election campaign.[20]
In 2007, Turnbull promised that his government, if elected, would grant same-sex couples death benefits in Commonwealth superannuation schemes, a promise similar to one made three years earlier, during the 2004 Federal election campaign.[21]
Turnbull retained his seat at the 2007 election gaining a two-party 1.3 per cent swing in Wentworth,[22] despite a 5.6 per cent swing away from the coalition in the state, and a 5.4 per cent swing nationwide.[23]
Prime Minister Howard had lost his own seat of Bennelong, and on 25 November 2007, Liberal deputy leader Peter Costello announced he would not seek the party leadership. Turnbull declared his candidacy later the same day, and was considered a favourite by many.[24] He lost to Brendan Nelson, in a 45 to 42 vote.
Nelson in turn appointed him Shadow Treasurer.[25]
Shortly afterwards, fellow Opposition front bencher Nick Minchin suggested that Turnbull's failure to consult with party colleagues before declaring his opinion to the media on such issues as an apology to the Stolen Generations cost him the leadership.[26] This led to a disagreement between the two and culminated in Minchin privately telling Turnbull that he was "too f***ing sensitive".[27]
In May 2008, Turnbull attacked the 2008 Australian federal budget, concerned by increased taxes on luxury cars and certain alcoholic drinks, citing possible increased inflation.[28]
Leader of the Opposition[edit]
On 16 September 2008, Turnbull was elected party leader by 45 votes to 41.
In September 2008, Turnbull confessed that he had smoked marijuana in his younger days, becoming the first Liberal leader to make such an admission. He said he now thought it was a very bad idea because the drug could be damaging.[29]
In January 2009, Turnbull appointed former Alexander Downer staffer and Advertiser journalist Chris Kenny as his chief of staff.[30]
In May 2009, Turnbull attacked the 2009 Australian federal budget, in particular the means testing of the private health insurance rebate.[31]
On 19 June 2009 Treasury official Godwin Grech alleged that a car dealer with links to the Labor Party had received preferential treatment under the Ozcar program, sparking the so-called 'OzCar affair'. That day Turnbull stated that Prime Minister Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan had "used their offices and taxpayers' resources to seek advantage for one of their mates and then lied about it to the Parliament" and that they needed to explain their actions or resign.[32] On 22 June the e-mail Grech had provided to the Liberal Party to support this allegation was found to have been faked by Grech, something he later admitted,[33] and an Australian National Audit Office inquiry cleared both Rudd and Swan of any wrongdoing on 4 August.[34] Turnbull's handling of the OzCar affair led to a large decline in his and the Liberal Party's approval ratings in opinion polls.[35]
On 24 November 2009 a party room meeting was held to discuss the Rudd government's proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS). Turnbull instructed the party to support CPRS despite significant disagreement among his colleagues.[36]
There was even a suggestion that some Liberal Senators should vote to "guillotine" debate and force an immediate Senate vote on the CPRS bill. (If the Senate rejected the bill, this would have given the government a double dissolution trigger.)
In response the next day, MPs Wilson Tuckey and Dennis Jensen made a "spill motion" (for a party leadership vote), but it was defeated by 48 votes to 35.[37] The rebellion continued, though — many front bench Liberals resigned from the shadow cabinet, including Tony Abbott.[38]
On 1 December 2009, a spill motion was carried. Turnbull lost the subsequent leadership ballot to Abbott by 42 votes to 41 on the second ballot.[39]
After the leadership vote, Turnbull said he would serve out his full term as member for Wentworth.[40] On 6 April 2010, he announced he would not seek re-election.[41] However, on 1 May 2010 he reversed his decision.[42]
At the 2010 federal election, Turnbull was re-elected with a swing of over 11%[43] and was subsequently brought back to the front bench as shadow communications minister.[44] At the October 2012 Alfred Deakin Lecture on digital liberty[45] he spoke out strongly against the Australian government's proposed two-year data retention law.[46]
In July 2012, Turnbull was under fire for saying that civil unions should be accepted as a first step towards full same-sex marriage rights. Turnbull also supports gay marriage and a conscience vote for Coalition MP's on the issue, but Coalition leader Tony Abbott did not allow a conscience vote on the issue. He said that countries that have legalised gay marriage such as The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Norway, and Canada first had civil unions.[47]
On Tuesday 9 April 2013 Malcolm Turnbull along with Tony Abbott announced his alternative National Broadband Network (NBN) plan.[48] The new plan is a modified and scaled-down NBN with "fibre to the node" then last-mile by copper cable.[49] The new policy developed by Turnbull reversed the previous Liberal Party position, which had called for the dismantling of the NBN should the Liberal Party win the 2013 Federal election. As such, the policy will allow the NBN to continue irrespective of the result so the election, although it may do so in a different form from what is currently being built.[49]
Turnbull has written several books in relation to his contributions to the republican debate, as well as his experiences during the Spycatcher trial. Notable examples of his writings include: The Spycatcher Trial (1988); The Reluctant Republic (1993; foreword by Robert Hughes, his wife's uncle); and Fighting for the Republic: the Ultimate Insider's Account (1999).
Personal life[edit]
Turnbull is married to prominent businesswoman and former Lord Mayor of Sydney Lucy Turnbull. They married in 1980 at Cumnor, England, United Kingdom near Oxford, while Malcolm was attending Oxford University. They and their two children, Alex and Daisy, live in Sydney.[50]
Although Turnbull is a convert to Roman Catholicism,[51] he has found himself at odds with the church's teaching on abortion, stem cell research and Equal marriage rights for GLBTIQA identifying citizens.[52][53][54] Turnbull supported legislation relaxing restrictions on abortion pill RU486 and he also voted for the legalisation of Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (therapeutic cloning). He did so despite the vocal public opposition to both proposals by Cardinal George Pell, Archbishop of Sydney.
The use of Bligh as a male middle name is a tradition in the Turnbull family. It is Turnbull's middle name as well as that of his son, Alex. One of Turnbull's ancestors was colonist John Turnbull, who named his youngest son William Bligh Turnbull in honour of deposed Governor William Bligh at the time of the Rum Rebellion.[55]
Turnbull is a supporter of the Sydney Roosters rugby league team in the Australian National Rugby League, and the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League.[56]
Turnbull and wife Lucy became grandparents in September 2013, when his daughter Daisy gave birth to a boy naming him Jack Alexander Turnbull-Brown. Turnbull announced the safe arrival on Twitter.[57]
In 1994 a portrait of Turnbull by artist Bill Leak won the People's Choice award at the Archibald Prize.
Personal wealth[edit]
In 2005 Turnbull's net worth was estimated at $133 million,[58] making him Australia's richest parliamentarian[59] until the election of Clive Palmer in the 2013 elections. The 2009 annual BRW list of the richest Australians put Turnbull at 182 of 200, with an estimated net worth of $178 million. He is the only MP in Australia to make the list.[60] Malcolm Turnbull made the BRW Rich 200 list for the second year running in 2010, and although he slipped from 182 to 197, his estimated net worth increased to $186 million, and he continued to be the only sitting politician to make the list.[61]
