Bruce Helmer and Peg Webb America is a culture that denies death. We don’t want to think about death, talk about it, or recognize it as an inevitable reality. We all die someday, as do our loved ones, and yet this topic is often uncomfortable and swept under the rug. As advisors, we see this every day in our interactions with clients. It is not uncommon for any of us to be in denial about our own mortality and to experience intense emotions when the topic comes up. Denial can be a coping mechanism, but it can also be harmful,…

DENVER — On a busy street corner outside the offices of the Harm Reduction Action Center on a recent afternoon, employees of the education and advocacy nonprofit were handing out free naloxone kits to passersby. Distribution of opioid recovery medications is essential to the center’s work to reduce fatal overdoses in our communities. But how much longer the group can keep it up is questionable. The center relies on Colorado’s Opioid Antagonist Bulk Purchase Fund (also known as the Naloxone Bulk Purchase Fund), which receives hundreds of millions of dollars in national opioid litigation settlements. However, the Fund currently lacks…

Orange County voters face 10 school bonds in this election, ranging from Measures G to P, paid for by increased property taxes. We encourage you to downvote each one. We previously recommended a vote against Proposition 2, a $10 billion statewide school bond that would increase the state’s budget deficit by $500 million a year.All Californians are overtaxed, and ongoing inflation caused by excessive spending at all levels of government is crushing household finances. Average spending for California K-12 schools also rose to $23,878 per student, or $716,340 for a class of 30, in fiscal year 2024-25. Schools have ample…

Floridians already pay some of the highest homeowners insurance premiums in the nation, and the state’s top politicians say they’ve taken steps to fix it, but a rash of major hurricanes has wiped out that progress. It’s possible. Hurricane Milton hit the state late Wednesday near Sarasota, sending hurricane-force winds across the Florida peninsula and into the Atlantic Ocean. There were concerns that the Tampa Bay area, a low-lying area susceptible to storm surge, would be hit hard by the storm. That didn’t happen and the state avoided a “worst-case scenario,” according to Gov. Ron DeSantis. Still, the damage could…

Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James will be playing his unprecedented 22nd NBA season. James is still at the top of his game, but he’s defying the odds and looks like he could play for years in a row. However, this is not the case. Sooner or later, James will end his career, but it’s unclear when that will happen. Lakers and LeBron fans hope that doesn’t happen anytime soon. Still, the clock is certainly ticking as James is about to enter his age 40 season. It’s unclear when James will retire, but if you ask former teammate and…

Transcriptional analysis of germline and somatic cells reveals distinct gene expression profilesTo explore the molecular pathways that contribute to female germline development we generated and characterised different ovule cell type-specific transcriptomes. We used marker lines that define the MMC (pKNU:YFPNLS18; Fig. 1a, b), nucellus (pWUS:GFP-WUS18; Fig. 1c, d) and most somatic cells of the ovule (pSTK:STK-GFP19; Fig. 1e, f) coupled with sorting of fluorescent protoplasts. Protoplasts were isolated from ovules at stage 2-II when callose starts to accumulate around the expanding MMC. Enzymatic separation of the ovule cells produced pKNU:YFPNLS protoplasts that varied in diameter from 8 to 14 µm (hereafter termed the “MMC”…
