Advertisement Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman said her sister, who died May 19, was issued the citation in August and she learned death is not on the list of exceptions allowing the ticket to be dismissed, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Wednesday. Lieberman said the ticket, which was issued in Miami Gardens, must have been a mistake because her family had turned in the tags for the car and canceled the registration. Michael McAllister of American Traffic Solutions Inc., which operates the cameras, said the tickets are issued by vehicle and may not always identify the correct driver. "The car gets the ticket, not the driver," McAllister said.

Blogger seeks job in Jell-O shots BOSTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A Boston biologist whose skill with Jell-O shots earned him unexpected catering jobs said he is looking to turn his art into a full-time business. Matt Micari, a biologist who blogs about his Jell-O experiments at gelology.blogspot.com, said he first started creating unusual Jell-O shots to help him meet people at parties when he first moved to the city, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday. "I figured out that if I'd show up to a party with Jell-O shots, people would talk to me," he said. Micari, whose creations include a sriracha shot containing the spicy sauce, fresh cilantro, pineapple, lime, and coconut milk gelatin, said the creations did wonders for his popularity and resulted in a few catering jobs.
