The man who was doused in gasoline and set afire earlier this month, allegedly by his girlfriend, died Saturday from his injures, officials said.
Alan Penny, 61, of the 3100 block of West Washington Blvd., was pronounced dead at 5:09 p.m. at Stroger Hospital, the Cook County medical examiner's office said.
He was critically injured and suffered burns over much of his body, officials said.
Penny was doused in gasoline on July 2, allegedly by his girlfriend, after the two had an argument, officials said.
Sherry Ann Hartison, 42, was arrested shortly after the incident at her apartment in the 3100 block of West Washington Boulevard.

Operation Rescue has obtained recordings and dispatch transcripts for four 911 calls that were placed from Planned Parenthood in Orange, CA, three of which were made all on the same day.
Three of the calls were placed to seek emergency transfer for patients who had endured complications from an abortion, and one was due to an employee who was experiencing chest pain.
LifeSiteNews reports that on February 22nd, the first of the three calls to 911 emergency services reported a 44-year old employee suffering from angina and chest pain. A nurse was on the scene, but no doctor was present. The employee was transported to the hospital at 8:09 AM.
The second 911 call, placed at 12:31 PM, reported that a 34-year old patient was suffering from seizures and convulsions. She was described as having fallen out of a wheelchair and was "foaming at the mouth," according to the Planned Parenthood employee who placed the call. The ambulance was subsequently cancelled by abortionist John Paul McHugh, who informed the emergency dispatcher that they would keep the patient at Planned Parenthood and observe her condition.
A third emergency call was made at 6:00 PM to report a medical emergency with another 34-year old patient. In this third call, the patient's condition was reported as hemorrhage and lacerations, an altered state of consciousness, abnormal breathing, and dropping blood pressure. Planned Parenthood staff were beginning to administer oxygen. The patient was transported to the hospital emergency room at 6:24 PM.
On March 9th, a Planned Parenthood staff member placed a 911 emergency call for a 26-year old second trimester abortion patient suffering from hemorrhage and lacerations. The patient was transported to the hospital.
Operation Rescue states that it has documented 22 medical emergencies at abortion clinics across the country since January 1st. Included among these were five emergencies at Planned Parenthood in Wilmington, Delaware, which later closed down.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, said:
There simply is no such thing as a 'safe and legal' abortion clinic. Women are injured or killed, and babies die as a matter of course in our nation's abortion clinics and we have yet to find one that obeys the law on all points. Health and safety violations are rampant at abortion clinics, and Planned Parenthood is certainly no exception.

If you're a member of any social media site, such as facebook, twitter, instagram or others, you will know that post after post as been about the "polar vortex" that has hit not only Norfolk County but all of Ontario and even into the deep south!
|Dusting of snow & layer of ice causing chaos in Louisiana
In January many were commenting on the amount of snow and praying to the snow gods for it to stop. In places like Atlanta, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana, a dusting of snow and a flash freeze caused everything to close and come to a stop. Roads closed, bridges closed, businesses closed, freeways jammed. Thankfully in Canada we are prepared for these temperatures and snowfalls and our roads crews have certainly been busy.
So how did this Arctic weather affect the local real estate market? During January, 2014, thirty-five (35) sales were reported on the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) compared to forty-four (44) sales the year prior. The persistent sub zero temperatures of -20°C (and worse), no doubt kept prospective home buyers nestled indoors. In addition to the deadly temperatures, there was plenty of snow, including an unexpected dumping on January 25 (just in time for our return from vacation).
We live in Canada, should these frigid temperatures and snow fall amounts be a surprise to us? Well, I guess we have been spoiled for the past 4 years and it appears that is long enough for many of us to forget what a real winter is like...like 2009.
January of 2009 was actual worse in both temperature and snow fall amounts. According to Environment Canada, and as reported in the Simcoe Reformer, the average daily temperature during January, 2014 was -9°C. That is substantially below the historical average of -5.7°C, it's not as bad as the January, 2009 daily average of -9.4°C. The 2014 January low reached -24.2°C (burrrrrr). But wait, January 2009 beat that with the a low of -24.9°C.
In terms of snowfall, this year we received 68.2 cms of snow, nearly double the average of 35.5 cms. Seems like a lot but it really doesn't compare to the 82.9 cms we received in 2009.
How did the winter solstice of 2009 affect the real estate market then? Only twenty-one (21) sales were reported on the local MLS® indicating how much the real estate market is affected by weather.
While there may be fewer buyers, there are benefits to selling in the winter.
There are usually fewer properties on the market at this time of year. Many people will wait to list their properties in the spring. Use this to your advantage; fewer properties for sale means that your property will stand out.
Furthermore, buyers who are in the market now want to close quickly. These are the folks who want to buy and want to buy now.
The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is forecasting national activity to climb by 3.7% in 2014. Although the national market can give you an idea of the overall state of housing, only the local market directly impacts you and your property.
All real estate is local, often times even unique to a particular street or neighbourhood, therefore if you're thinking of making a move this and want the scoop on the local real estate market, contact us today!

David brings so much to a small business owner like myself. I have been burned by consultants in the past, promising the world and delivering little. David, on the other hand, helped develop our team to the next level, providing me with support and expertise where I needed it most. He created true value for my business. I think the greatest value was David's ability to coach himself out of a job. He is not too proud to teach you his methods and tools, so that you need him less and less as time goes on. Ultimately, we will continue to utilize his talents as the need arises from here on. He is a valuable asset that truly understands the plight of the entrepreneur and one I would highly recommend.

David has been running recruitment programs for me with two companies, over a span of 5 years, for sales and sales support positions, with extremely positive results. His drive to understand a particular company and position ensures that he will quickly align with your vision of a perfect candidate; and he will use this knowledge to pre-screen candidates not only for career experience, but also for a personality fit into the role. I would highly recommend David as a recruiter for any role; personally I found that he will do an exceptional job at pre-screening, setting expectations, and managing candidates throughout the recruiting process and will be a valuable resource to any organization looking for quality recruitment sources.

Dave has helped our company in executive strategy sessions, executive recruiting and operational overview meetings. On the strategy side, what sets Dave apart is his ability to move executive teams to critical issues quickly. He has an ability to synthesize information coming from the group and feed it back in a way that makes it easier for the group to assimilate, act on and to move forward. His approach allows for open communication between executives and helps align strategies that go to improvements in overall performance of their team and the company. On the operational side, Dave has helped our organization focus on training our line managers to take ownership over their roles for short-term results and long-term growth. Lastly - and importantly - with regard to attracting the right talent to our team Dave brings a toolbox approach that help us define the needed talent and match it to the role, the team and the culture of our company. Over the years I have worked with a significant number of Executive Consulting, Coaching and Recruiting firms. Dave understands not only how to do these things well but to also help do them in a way that maximizes enterprise value.

St. Lawrence College Tuition & Costs
Nearby and affordable, St. Lawrence College, in south-eastern Ontario, can provide an ideal international experience. A recent Wall Street Journal article (Blackman, Sept 2015) shows that Canada is the number two destination for U.S. College students enrolling abroad. Furthermore, Statistics Canada reports that average tuition for international undergrads in Canada last year was C$20,447 (about US$15,380). Your post-secondary education will require careful planning and consideration -- Canada may provide the best of both worlds: an international study experience that is both close to home and cost-effective.
*Canada, the No. 2 destination for U.S. college students enrolling abroad, had more than 7,000 U.S. students in 2011-12, according to the Institute of International Education. Statistics Canada reports that average tuition for international undergrads in Canada last year was C$20,447 (about US$15,380).
**"Canada's a great bargain in terms of the quality of education for the cost," says Michele Hernandez, president of college consulting firm Top Tier Admissions. "U.S. schools are crazy expensive and feel like they have to offer every facility, every amenity to attract new students," says Dr. Hernandez. "That's what a lot of your tuition's going to. At a lot of international schools, they don't feel like they have to offer kids a spa or a gym."
St. Lawrence College has many In-Year Bursary and Awards available, including some that are specifically geared toward international students. While these awards are not meant to cover the full expense of your study abroad experience, last year the college awarded over $350,000 to 500+ students across all three campuses:
La Vache Rouge Bursary
Available to an entrance student from the United States enrolled full-time in any program on the Kingston, Brockville or Cornwall Campus. Applicants will have demonstrated a "joie de vivre" through above average academic achievement, school and/or community involvement or volunteerism. Applicants must demonstrate financial need and be a US citizen.
Linda Ann Daly International Student Award
Available to an international student, studying full time at the Kingston campus, who demonstrates exceptional leadership and academic potential. The successful applicant will have overcome adversity to pursue their education in Canada at St. Lawrence College.
The connections I have made here alone were worth the time. In my time, I have met the Premier of Ontario, the President and CEO of St. Lawrence College- Mr. Glenn Vollebregt, the CEO and CFO of Pita Pit, economists for major banking institutions, and wide range of other business and community leaders. It's an incredible place to learn and grow one's network.Read More

Creekfield Lake Trail is a 0.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near English, Texas that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
nature trips
This trail is basically a microcosm of Brazos Bend State Park. It is one of the most beautiful scenes in the park. It is loop around the smallest lake on the park. It is a cement trail accessible to everyone. It easy and enjoyable for all ages. I saw several baby alligators. It made sense that the baby alligators might prefer hanging out at Creekfield rather than Elm Lake or 40-Acre lake where the big Gators like to dominate. I can see why, since big alligators eat little Gators.
This is one of the prettiest trails on the park. It offers a show of some of the plants native to this area, including wild Hibiscus, Cypress trees and Duckweed.
This trail is also excellent for sighting water birds! Dragonflies! Butterflies!
Great for getting good pictures. I had the half mile trail to myself on a weekday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Born in Dallas, Texas to Karen and James, but raised near Atlanta, Georgia, Christine Helen Lakin is an actress best known for her role as Al Lambert, the tomboyish daughter on the sitcom Step By Step, which ran for seven seasons.
She was even nominated in 1993 for a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actress Starring in a Television Series.
As a child, Christine Lakin landed many commercials. At the age of seven, she joined the Atlanta Workshop Players as its youngest member. She made her film debut in The Rose and the Jackal. She also appeared in Whos Your Daddy? and Reefer Madness.
Christine Lakin said of being a child actor, I think its really difficult to be a well-known child actor because its hard to ever leave it behindI certainly dont mind revisiting my childhood career because I have wonderful memories. She added that her parents kept her grounded: From my experience, my parents were always pretty adamant about getting me back to Atlanta to kid life and making my education the biggest priority above work, above acting, above celebrity. While it can still be a struggle at times with other peoples perceptions of me in the industry, my own self worth isnt contingent on itthats how I avoided the more stereotypical trappings of drugs and being a member of the Hot Mess Club (blog.sitcomsonline.com). It should be noted she graduated cum laude from UCLA with a degree in Communications.

In 2006, she was a regular on MTVs Wild n Out, an improve comedy show. In 2008, she starred opposite Paris Hilton in the film The Hottie and the Nottie, in which she wore makeup to make her look ugly. Unfortunately, she won a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screen Couple for the film.
Christine Lakin said, I dont like kissing on camera. Its bad enough to be caught kissing by your parents. But when you have a whole crew watching you, its a little weird (askmen.com). She continued to work, appearing in shows such as Boston Public, Touched by an Angel and 7th Heaven, among others.
In 2010, she was Craig Kilborns sidekick on The Kilborn File. Christine Lakin also does voice-over work for the character of Joyce on Family Guy.
Christine Lakin is the creator of Worst Audition Ever, a storytelling show about humiliating auditions and she stars, writes and produces her own web series Lovin Lakin, which spoofs her life as a child actor.

FIDELIO 1: Fully Interregional Dynamic Econometric Long-term Input-Output Model for the EU27
- Authors: Kurt Kratena, Gerhard Streicher, Umed Temurshoev, Antonio F. Amores, Iñaki Arto, Ignazio Mongelli, Frederik Neuwahl, José M. Rueda-Cantuche, Valeria Andreoni
- EUR Number: 25985 EN
- Publication date: 5/2013
In this report we present complete information about the Fully Interregional Dynamic Econometric Long-term Input-Output Model for the EU27 (FIDELIO 1). First, the macro overview of the model is discussed, which presents the main mechanisms of interactions between various blocks of FIDELIO. The second chapter explains the main economic theories underlying FIDELIO consumption, production and labour market blocks. Here, further econometric approaches for estimation of the parameters of all behavioural equations and their results are presented. Then, derivation of all the necessary base-year data (e.g., various commodity use structure and price structure matrices, trade matrix, base-year residuals, etc.) are discussed in detail. All FIDELIO equations are presented (with discussions) in Chapter 4. Finally, a full description of the data sources is given in the last chapter. It will become clear from this description document that FIDELIO is appropriate for the impact assessment purposes of diverse (economic and/or environmental) policy questions of our times.

aka, The Jack Chick Museum of Fine Art
The Jack Chick Museum of Fine Art's will be teaming up with the PhilaMOCA (Philadelphia Museum Of Comic Art?) to present a retrospective of Chick's Tracts. JCMFA's curator will be there to speak on Chick and his incredible cartoon legacy. Join us Saturday Night, December 2, 2017 at 7pm at the museum in Philadelphia. Here's the Facebook event link (w/ more details): https://www.facebook.com/events/903267286508962/
It's our sad duty to announce the passing of this century's most published author and cartoonist, Jack Thomas Chick. He died Sunday Night (Oct. 23rd, 2016) in his sleep. He was 92. Chick will be missed by the legions of his readers spanning the globe in over 100 different languages. However, Chick stockpiled new tracts to keep publishing after his death, so even though the master has passed on, his work will continue to entertain and inform. The King of Underground Publishing is dead... Long live The King!
(Click tract to proceed to Museum/Tracts Page)
An online catalog/ collection of Chick's classic tracts!
Whether you love him or hate him, you gotta respect Chick for sticking to his guns. Since 1961 (over half a century), he's cranked out tract after tract to help sinners "see the light." He's written over 250 different tracts, with more than 900,000,000* distributed worldwide (in over 100 different languages)! His influence is so vast that entire nations have passed special laws banning his comics. Even as Political Correctness reigns supreme, Chick seems unafraid to take on the sacred cows. He steadfastly exposes a conspiracy of Catholics, Masons, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Agers, Rock & Rollers, and any other group the devil might use to damn your soul. Chick also offends Jews and Muslims with previews of their fiery futures in hell (but only because he wants to save them). The more taboo a topic, the more likely you'll see it covered in a Chick tract!
We don't condemn Chick for his controversial nature. We celebrate it! It's just one of his unique characteristics. Besides, he's an Artist. They're supposed to be provocative. (If he drew Christ in a Bowl of Urine, many of his critics would love him.)
Our goal is to SALUTE this dedicated demagogue and immortalize his work by assembling a complete library for fans and scholars to marvel at JACK T. CHICK!
The Jack Chick Museum of Fine Art is fully independent and not affiliated with Chick Publications in any way. We are open to the public free of charge. Out of town visitors can view most the tracts on line by clicking on the tract titles. Travelers to Tallahassee FL can stop by and view the collection in person (by appointment only). All visitors are welcome without regard to their race, religion, or sexual orientation (just no Jesuits allowed). Please email for time and confirmation.
So come on in and take a peek. Enjoy your stay.

Part 1 transcript
- Chancellor Sylvia Walton:
I declare this to be a ceremony authorised by the Council of La Trobe University at which I shall, with the authority of Council, confer the degree of Doctor of the University. Please be seated.
It's certainly a great privilege to be here today and to be conferring the Doctor of the University on the Honourable Michael Kirby, and when you hear the citation you will understand that his background speaks for itself. The thing that has always interested me, if I may say, is the way in which the larger vision, the attention to detail and the laws, the policy areas and yet the individual have come together in a lot of your thinking. I remember reading somewhere, I can't remember who said it, but it does sound a little Pollyanna-ish, but nonetheless it's a truism, and when one thinks of some of the situations we're facing in our present country at the present time, it's even more so, but if we can, it says, keep one heart from breaking, and you can interpret it in university terms and say, if we can ensure that one individual has an opportunity, then it goes on to say, we will not live in vain and our policies and our actions will marry. And that is what I think I've gained by reading something of what you have written, and I confess to not having got to The Age this morning yet, but in other things you've written and in an understanding perhaps, just a little bit from the far field of the work that you've been doing, in human rights, in a whole range of things that concern many individuals.
I will now call upon the Director for the Centre of Dialogue, Professor Joseph Camilleri, to deliver the citation for the award of the degree, Doctor of the University to the Honourable Michael Kirby.
- Professor Joseph Camilleri:
Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. The Honourable Michael Kirby is one of the most distinguished jurists in Australia and arguably in the world as well. At the time of his retirement from the High Court of Australia in 2009, he was then the longest serving judicial officer in Australia. He's also one of the most prolific writers, writing in his ex curia capacity as well as a public intellectual, include five monographs and over three hundred articles and reports. As a jurist, Michael Kirby is perhaps the best-known judge in Australia, recognised by the Life Achievement Award of the Australian Law Awards in 2005. He is one of the most visible advocates for justice and human rights in Australia. Michael Kirby holds the degrees, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Laws, Bachelor of Economics from Sydney University. He started his career by practising as a solicitor and then as a barrister. In December '74 he was appointed as the Deputy President of the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission and in 1983, as a Judge of the Federal Court of Australia, making him the youngest person to be appointed to federal judicial office.
In 1984, he was appointed President of the New South Wales Court of Appeal. He held that position until '96 when he was appointed a Justice of the High Court of Australia. Previously he had served as the inaugural Chairman of the Australian Law Reform Commission from 1975 to 1983. Since 1978, Michael Kirby has been extensively involved in a number of international organisations and their activities, including serving as Chairperson in expert groups as advisory member and in other capacities with the OECD, UNESCO, the Ethics Committee of the Human Genome Organisation in London, the inaugural Global Commission on AIDS of the World Health Organisation, UNAIDS, UNAID Global Panel on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights, the Executive Committee of the International Commission of Jurists, the International Labor Organisation and Special Representative of the Secretary-General with the United Nations for Human Rights in Cambodia.
Michael Kirby has received many awards and has been honoured with many distinctions including the Australian Human Rights Medal in '91, Ten Most Creative Minds in '97, named by The Bulletin magazine, Laureate of the UNESCO Prize for Human Rights Education in '98, Top Ten Public Intellectuals in 2005, named by The Sydney Morning Herald, one of the Hundred Most Influential Australians Ever in 2006, named by The Bulletin.

In June of last year, he won, as a co-winner, the Gruber Justice Prize for 2010, New York.
Michael Kirby has also received many honours, including appointment as a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George and as a Companion of the Order of Australia in '91, honorary degrees of Doctor of Letters, honorary degrees of Doctor of Laws, and honorary degree of the University from the University of Newcastle, the University of Ulster, James Cook University, Macquarie University, the University of Sydney, the National Law School University of India, Buckingham University, the Australian National University and the University of South Australia.
At La Trobe University, Michael Kirby has a long association with the School of Law, especially the School's Journal, Law in Context, the inaugural issue of which he launched some twenty-five years ago. His most recent involvement with the Law School was the launch of a new book and the celebration of twenty-five years of the Journal's publication in 2008.
Michael Kirby is the Patron of the University's Centre for Dialogue. In 2008 he was the keynote speaker for a major international conference, co-sponsored by the Centre for Dialogue, and in July 2010, he launched Professor Camilleri's new book, Worlds in Transition.
Chancellor, in recognition for his outstanding contribution to law and to La Trobe University, I present to you for the award of the degree Doctor of the University, the Honourable Michael Kirby.
- The Honourable Michael Kirby:
Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Deputy Vice Chancellors, Professors of the University, distinguished guests and friends. Thank you very much Chancellor for conferring this degree upon me. It's a special pleasure for me to receive it from you, knowing as we both do, that this will be the last ceremony in which you preside as Chancellor of La Trobe University, after your most distinguished service as Chancellor, as a member of the Council for so many years, and I want to acknowledge the presence here today of Professor Nancy Millis, Companion of the Order of Australia, former Chancellor of the University. It's a special pleasure to be helped to this occasion by two such distinguished Australian women and Chancellors and I am very grateful, Chancellor, for your public service, your service to our community, your ongoing service to education and on behalf of all the alumni of La Trobe University who have passed through your hands, a safe pair of hands I might say, I want to express as an alumnist, my thanks, my appreciation, my best wishes and my expectation that you will continue to be strongly associated with this wonderful institution.
I want to thank also the Vice Chancellor for his warm welcome to me to the campus. We had a most interesting discussion about economic history, about the role of the corporation in the success of the economic system, and about the gift of lawyers to original idea. We don't often have them, but in the case of the corporation, lawyers actually were most inventive and created a way of getting people to give their money without the risk that if things went bad, they could be pursued forever and that differentiation between the corporation and the shareholders was a brilliant invention of the law, which all goes to show that sometimes when we strain very hard, we can come up with new and original thoughts.
I'm very proud of this new link with La Trobe University. I was thinking as I came in here this morning and saw this beautiful campus, save perhaps for the campus of the University of Western Australia, I think and have always thought, this campus is the most beautiful in the nation. So many of the campuses of the universities in Australia have been destroyed by horrible buildings which have been erected no doubt because Vice Chancellors of the day recommending to Buildings and Grounds Committees of the day, that they were absolutely essential. But at La Trobe, the succession of Vice Chancellors have been defensive of the campus and I hope it will always be so. To come in here this morning, to see the beautiful Leonard French glassworks with the beauty of the campus beyond, was a really wonderful experience once again. It always is. And I urge the Vice Chancellor, Professor Paul Johnson, to continue to defend the beauty of this place. Having been Chancellor of Macquarie University in Sydney, which sadly was created ten years after La Trobe University and which inherited a series of modern brutalist buildings of concrete, you come here and you see how lovely a university campus can be.
I am very proud of my associations with the Law School and I am grateful that Professor Baron, the new Dean of Laws here today to bid me welcome, as she did in a former life at Griffith University. I know of the wonderful School of Politics and Philosophy at La Trobe and I am grateful to Professor Manne and Professor Dennis Altman, my old friend from years and years ago when we were both student politicians and trouble-makers for Vice Chancellors in our respective universities at Sydney and Tasmania. I am very proud of my association with both of them. And with Professor Marilyn Lake. My real interest in life was as a historian and I have threatened Professor Lake that whenever she lays down her robes as the Professor of History here, then they had better watch out because there may be an application from a very distinguished ancient and new graduate for that post.
Life is a series of circles and if you hang around long enough, you tend to come back to the place where you began. I can remember today ever so clearly the day I began at the University of Sydney. It was this time in the year 1956, which is of course a very long time ago. The day was memorable for me because I attended the university wearing my Prefect's blazer from Fort Street Boys' High School. Looking back, I cannot imagine how gauche I was, how immature, but I rather liked that blazer and I didn't really want to release myself from the status and happiness of my time at school. I pay a tribute to my teachers at my schools. They are very much in my mind on a day like this. Robert Hughes, the noted art historian and commentator, was there that day and so were other notable people, some of whom have actually written about the day. Robert Hughes was rushing about the university in a long Oxford scarf, which had no doubt been purchased for him, which looked the more remarkable because it was a heat wave. But it was an amazing time. And today is also a wonderful day for me, because I come before you as the latest graduate of La Trobe University, but sitting in the back row today is my niece, Elizabeth Kirby, the daughter of my brother, Justice David Kirby of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Elizabeth graduated in the University of Melbourne and she then went around the world and came back with a new boyfriend and she is here today, because today is her first day at La Trobe University. She is taking a post-graduate course in teaching – she has decided that that is the vocation that she wishes to pursue, and where else to go except La Trobe University? So isn't that a curious coincidence? And doesn't it show how strange life is that I should come here today on an occasion important for me at a time of shall we say my maturity in life, and Elizabeth is coming here today, her very first day in post graduate studies at La Trobe University when she will have the great benefit of education at this university. We in the Kirby family are very proud of her and her association with La Trobe and we are warning everybody that once the Kirbys get involved in a university, you will find it very difficult to get rid of us.
So, Chancellor, thank you for your service and thank you for the honour you've done me. Vice Chancellor, please convey to the Council of the University my appreciation of this high honour. It is very special to me. And thank you to the professors and the staff of the university. I promise that I will do whatever I can to make this a real engagement with La Trobe University and be a true alumnist of the university and a true participant in the life of the university in its School of Law, in its School of Politics and Philosophy and in its School of History and every other school that I can possibly do. So thank you all very much for being with me on this special day. I am very grateful and very honoured.

But more than halfway through his rookie season with the Pistons, Drummond is busy debunking all of that. In fact, Drummond, no longer a happy-go-lucky schoolkid, maintains a much more serious expression as he readies for work.

PureCars Value Reports Winner of 2014 Automotive Website Award
Jan 29, 2014, 11:49 EST
CHARLESTON, S.C., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PCG Consulting has named PureCars Value Reports recipient of the Automotive Website Award in Marketing Innovation. The Automotive Website Award (AWA) winners were announced prior to the National Auto Dealers Association Convention in New Orleans on January 24th. The AWAs celebrate the top performers in the industry and recognize the best in design, technology, and search architecture for automotive website platforms.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140122/CL50739LOGO )
Receiving an AWA is one of the highest recognitions for vendors that aim to improve the operations of the automotive retail industry. Backed by the mission to provide more relevant information to improve the car buying experience, PureCars has secured their seat as the industry authority in digital solutions. The venture-backed research company has developed an extensive data library including over a billion data points of reference, setting them apart from other digital companies. The Value Report is their premier product and its success has facilitated the launch of a full suite of advanced digital marketing solutions.
PureCars recognizes the critical role the vehicle details page (VDP) plays in influencing purchase decisions and the correlation between VDP views and vehicle sales. Value Reports improve the experience shoppers receive from a VDP by showing relevant vehicle data in a way no other vendor has been able to accomplish. Value Report images visually enhance VDPs and functions to educate consumers on the top value, option, and reconditioning highlights of a pre-owned vehicle. The comprehensive tool can be used throughout the entire sales process and act as a digital used-car brochure dedicated to addressing the top concerns of all used car buyers. As a company, PureCars resonates innovation as they strive to provide the most relevant vehicle information to both shoppers and dealers alike.
"Value Reports were created to digitally communicate the value in pre-owned vehicles in a way this industry has never seen before, directly off a dealer's VDP," stated Jeff Ranalli, PureCars' VP of Sales. "Being recognized for our innovative efforts to improve the car buying experience is an incredible honor and we're grateful for the opportunity to have been reviewed by PCG."
PCG Consulting created the Automotive Website Awards in 2008, and they've since provided dealers with an independent review of the newest and best automotive technologies. The consulting firm operates from a vendor-neutral standpoint in order to recommend solutions that will improve dealer sales, processes, and profits.

Since August 2012, Temple Beth-El has been involved in the B'nai Mitzvah Revolution, which I'll describe a little more in a moment. However, I'd like to begin by noting that our work with the BMR, concurrent with the work of our Brit K'hillah Task Force and other significant efforts at the temple, is already bringing about a shift in the way we as a temple community view community in general, and how we forge and develop relationships with one another through study, worship, and tikkun olam. In other words, everything we're doing is informing everything else we're doing, in a thoughtful and intentional manner. And it's good!
For those of you who may not be familiar with the B'nai Mitzvah Revolution, here are a few details. Since August 2012, Temple Beth-El has participated as a pilot congregation in the BMR, a joint project of the Union for Reform Judaism and the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. We are one of 12 pilot congregations nationwide that have been tasked with asking questions about the many rituals related to bar and bat mitzvah, and with experimenting in various ways, both big and small, to enhance the practice and experience of bar and bat mitzvah at Temple Beth-El.
I'd like to review a few key background points. First, it's important to understand that our decision to apply in July 2012 to be a pilot congregation was more about dreams than dissatisfaction. Nothing was or is "broken" with bar and bat mitzvah at Temple Beth-El. In fact, our desire to participate in the BMR was a natural outgrowth of several significant areas of interest and activity:
This perception of a lack of an ongoing ritual connection for most of our youth emerged from discussions among senior staff and lay leaders in the context of strengthening and enriching structures and programs that were already in place. Again, I want to emphasize that though we were looking for ways to involve our youth differently, we were not trying to fix something that wasn't working. And here's the critical point: since our youth are part of a larger community, that
meant involving the community as a whole in our BMR efforts, with an eye toward multigenerational participation.
Last April, 113 members of all ages gathered at four Congregational Visioning Workshops to respond to questions about the institution of bar and bat mitzvah and about bar/bat mitzvah at Temple Beth-El. Overwhelmingly, the feedback from the workshops was that there is a strong desire among our members for more community involvement in b'nai mitzvah services, with less focus on what we might call the "performance aspect" of the bar/bat mitzvah ritual.
And so, the BMR Core Team and our lay leaders began working last summer and have continued throughout this year (with the wise counsel at regular intervals from the national BMR staff) to envision and create new, experimental ways to bring the entire temple family together in worship, celebration, and study. Starting with Sukkot in October through to Shavuot last week, all the generations have gathered for — are you ready? —
It has been a busy year!
All these programs were multi-generational and interactive, designed as a response to the desire expressed by last year's BMR Visioning Workshop participants for more community involvement in the ritual life of the synagogue.
So where do we go from here?
We're reflecting on what we have learned from our many different experiments to see what might be applied to our Shabbat morning worship and celebration of bar and bat mitzvah. Whatever is decided specifically, in general everything we've done this year has reinforced our sense from the workshop data that what we all ultimately would like to see is for our members of all ages and life stages to join together in meaningful and joyful worship on holidays and festivals, and especially on Shabbat morning.
Before I close, I'd like to offer heartfelt thanks to our Core Team (Rabbi Gluck, Cantor Pincus, Lisa Friedman, Marcy Rosenfeld, and Marci Taylor) for their ongoing commitment of time and energy to this effort, and for their extraordinary thoughtfulness. As a pilot congregation, we extend our gratitude and thanks to the entire national BMR team, especially Prof. Isa Aron of HUC-JIR in Los Angeles, who came up with the idea of the BMR in the first place, and Diane Tickton Schuster, our wise and devoted research advisor, from whom I have learned so much and who is such a pleasure to work with. A huge shout-out to our temple member Julie Hirsch, who from the beginning expressed an interest in data collection and analysis, and was instrumental in recently making a shiddach for us with a former colleague, now working in California, who performed our data analysis and generated a report for us. We thank Jon Frey, of Taco Bell and Temple Menorah in Redondo Beach, for his generosity of time and spirit (and use of advanced software we couldn't even dream of). To all of them and the many members of Temple Beth-El who have been involved or would like to be involved in our B'nai Mitzvah Revolution work, we thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah Gluck, TBE BMR Core Team Documenter

Lucia every 60 minutes on average. If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Collegno to Venice train schedule: the first train leaves at 05:00, while the last ride is at 18:00. A Collegno to Venice train cost about 30.9 €. But how long is the train ride from Collegno to Venice? Your journey takes about 5 hours on average.

Between portability and a plump exemption, few clients have to worry about federal estate tax, at least for now.
Nevertheless, wealthy individuals and families still can benefit from such planning. "We continue to use traditional vehicles such as marital trusts and credit shelter trusts, especially for high-net-worth clients," says Donna Barwick, Atlanta-based vice president in the wealth advisory group of Wilmington Trust.
Currently, the federal estate tax exemption is $5.34 million, which will be indexed for future inflation. With portability, a married couple can shelter up to $10.68 million with little planning.
Barwick uses the expression DSUEA (pronounced d'sue-ah), which stands for the "deceased spouse's unused exclusion amount," to illustrate the concept.
Say Al Smith dies in 2014 and leaves his entire estate to his wife Beth (a U.S. citizen). Assuming Al never made any taxable gifts, he has not used any of his estate tax exemption so his DSUEA is $5.34 million. If Al's executor elects portability on a federal estate tax return, his DSUEA transfers to Beth. Thus, if Beth makes no taxable gifts and subsequently dies in a year with a $6 million exemption, she will be able to leave up to $11.34 million (her $6 million exemption plus the $5.34 million DSUEA from Al) to her children or nieces or friends from down the block, exempt from federal estate tax.
As generous as that may sound, portability doesn't completely cover HNW clients who expect estates to top $10.68 million ($5.34 for unmarried individuals), adjusted for future inflation. The federal estate tax rate is 40%, so $400,000 out of every $1 million over the limit will go to Uncle Sam. Such taxes could pose liquidity issues for a family business, say, or extensive real estate holdings, so advisors with HNW clients should prepare a plan that goes beyond depending on DSUEA.
As Barwick mentions, traditional trust planning can be considered. A marital trust ("A" trust) generally can hold assets left for the benefit of a surviving spouse, estate tax-free, with no dollar limit. A credit shelter trust ("B" or bypass trust) can hold amounts up to the prevailing exemption amount, untaxed at the death of either spouse.
"Some plans call for the executor of the first spouse to die to be able to make a partial 'QTIP' election for some assets," says Barwick. Those assets will go into a QTIP trust – a Qualified Terminable Interest Property trust – which is a marital trust that limits the surviving spouse's access to the trust assets. A QTIP trust can qualifiy for the unlimited marital exemption from estate tax and provides for the surviving spouse. The remaining assets in that trust eventually can go to beneficiaries named by the decedent, such as children from a previous marriage.
Estate planning for HNW clients also should recognize some drawbacks to portability. "The DSUEA is not indexed for inflation," Barwick points out. "In addition, you can only use the DSUEA that was ported from the last spouse to predecease you." Thus, if Beth Smith in the above example marries Craig Jones after Al's death, and Craig also leaves Beth a widow, Beth can use the DSUEA from Craig but not from Al. In some situations, there could be a loss of tax shelter.
"One possible solution," says Barwick, "is to deploy the ported amount." The DSUEA can be used for gift tax as well as estate tax purposes. Consequently, Al's $5.34 million DSUEA likely will be available for Beth to give away to her children or other recipients, free of gift tax, any time before Craig's death. Beth can get assets out of her estate, along with future growth, and eventually use Craig's DSUEA as well, provided she is a serial survivor.
