To receive additional information about this program and speak with a member of our team, complete the form.
Students in the Ph.D. Program in the Department of Chemistry may elect the Polymer Science Option. The Polymer Science doctoral program is organized jointly with the Department of Plastics Engineering. The program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation leading to an acceptable contribution to the body of contemporary knowledge in the fields of macromolecules or plastics.
1. Plan of Program
The doctoral degree normally requires four years of full-time study beyond the bachelor's degree or a minimum of two to three years of full-time study beyond the master's degree. The plan of study pursued by each student is dependent on individual requirements and is developed through conference with his/her Advisory Committee (or temporary advisor).
All students entering the program must take the American Chemical Society Graduate Level placement examinations in organic, physical and analytical chemistry. An evaluation examination in polymer science is given to those who wish to be exempted from 97-503-504.
2. Requirements for Admission
Requirements for admission into the program are the same as those for students entering other Ph.D. programs in Chemistry. It is the student's responsibility to satisfy any admission requirements stipulated for the Ph.D. in Chemistry.
Undergraduate deficiencies in the student's background must be remedied promptly, usually by the end of the student's second semester. During this period, the student must also successfully complete graduate courses appropriate to his/her background. Students will not be formally admitted to the Ph.D. program if their grade point average is below B.
3. Advisory Committee
Upon admission the student will be assigned a temporary adviser by the Coordinator of the Graduate Polymer Program. The student's major thesis adviser will become the chairperson of the permanent Advisory Committee.
The Advisory Committee will meet at least once each semester to monitor the progress of the student's research.
4. Program Outline
The initial part of the program is devoted to formal course work. The first year usually is devoted to subjects in major branches of chemistry, polymers, and plastics in preparation for the student's area (cumulative) examinations. The student must choose a research Adviser before the end of the second semester and is normally expected to start research during the first summer.
5. Language Requirements
Pathways for satisfying the language requirements have been described previously under the Chemistry section of this catalog.
6. Written Area Examinations
Upon formal admission to the Ph.D. program the student is required to pass a series of consecutive cumulative area examinations. This requirement must be completed by the end of the third semester for students entering in the fall semester, and by the end of the fourth semester for students entering in the spring semester. Policy and grading underlying each examination will be announced at the beginning of each academic year.
Each student must also present an oral defense of an original research proposal within six months after the completion of the last area exam.
7. Course Requirements
Of the 45 minimum credit requirements a minimum of 27 credits in course work, exclusive of thesis and seminar, is required with at least 18 to be taken in chemistry and polymer science (84 and 97 prefixes). The remaining course credits (nine or more, with a student's Advisory Committee having the authority to add six additional credits to the minimum in special situations) may be taken in chemistry or in a related field such as biology, physics, mathematics or engineering. Credit normally is not allowed for undergraduate subjects in chemistry except for those so designated in the catalog. Research credits would then make up the remainder of the 45-credit requirement. The program of courses is the responsibility of a student's Advisory Committee and must include advanced subjects in the appropriate areas of chemistry, polymers, and plastics. When it is necessary to carry less than the normal credit load of 9 per semester, the student must apply to the chairman of the department through the chairman of his/her Advisory Committee for approval.

FRITZ!Box 7490 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Maximum number of incoming call blocks and call diversions
In the FRITZ!Box you can set up call blocks for incoming calls in order to block calls from unwanted callers. You can also divert calls from a particular telephone number to a specific destination. However, you can only set up a maximum of 32 calling rules based on a caller's number (caller ID). The following are counted as calling rules:
- Call blocks for incoming calls
- Call diversion for "Calls by a person in the telephone book"
- Call diversion for "Calls from the telephone number"
If you need more than 32 of these calling rules, you can reduce the number of call blocks:
- Save all of the numbers you would like to block in a telephone book and then set up a block for the telephone book. This calling rule counts as one rule, regardless of how many telephone numbers you save in this telephone book.
- You can block entire number ranges.
You have configured 12 call blocks for incoming calls and 10 call diversions for contacts in the telephone book. This means you can still configure 10 call diversions for calls from certain telephone numbers.
If you save the 12 numbers for incoming calls in a telephone book and then block the telephone book, then you can set up 31 instead of just 20 call diversions.

It's too bad that most of us didn't come of age during the YouTube era. Do you think "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" heartthrob David Boreanez would have accepted my electronic prom invitation? I like to think so.
After the military gala YouTube celebrity invitation craze of last season (remember Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake's cordial invitations to the Marine Corps ball?), spring is approaching, and that means dateless high schoolers everywhere are taking to the Interwebs to invite the celebrity of their dreams to come as their prom date.
L.A. teenager Jake Davidson, self-described as "Jewish, 5'9" on a really good day, and can't dance... at all," made a cheeky video inviting supermodel Kate Upton to his school's senior prom. (While some women have a thing for dorks, Davidson hadn't yet landed a lady for his big night.) Although the invitation seemed like a long shot, the video almost immediately went viral, and Davidson was invited to the "Today" Show this morning to discuss his longing for the winsome Upton with an enchanted Kathie Lee and Hoda.
And then, wonder of wonders, Upton responded on Twitter:
"@jakedavidson23:youtube.com/watch?v=NvxqUE…" you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule ;)
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) March 19, 2013
Personally, I am of the opinion that prom is pretty overrated, but if Upton follows through, young Davidson will undoubtedly be the hero of his senior class. Especially if Kate is as good at the "Electric Slide" as she is at the "Cat Daddy." (Are they still doing the Electric Slide at prom, or am I an ancient crone now? Whatever, YOLO.)

Edradour 1996 SFTC Rum 'Grande Arome'
Review: Edradour 1996 SFTC Rum 'Grande Arome'
A Rum Cask Finished 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch 84.5pts
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on November 4, 2009
Edradour holds the distinction of being the smallest distillery in Scotland. It is also the last original farm distillery in Perthshire. The same wooden equipment is used to mash and ferment the whisky today, that was purchased by the distillery 170 years ago. Edradour uses the smallest copper stills in Scotland. In fact they are the smallest permissible by Scottish law. They also use the only working model of a Morton refrigerator (used in the distilling process) in the industry. You'll find this unique distillery nestled in a small glen above Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands. A truly unique distillery, perhaps its whisky is unique as well.
In the Bottle 4.0/5
EDRADOUR 1996 SFTC Rum 'Grande Arome' sits in a small wooden box reminiscent of an old style wooden granary. There is even gunny sack material glued to the walls inside the box to remind you of the sacks of barley that used to be stored in such granaries. Things are small, just like the distillery. The bottle is only 500ml, I liked the presentation, but found the box granary container to be cumbersome to open.
In the Glass 9.0/10
At the store where I purchased the whisky, I was given samples of five Cask strength Edradour whiskies in all. Each one a different cask finish, and the 'Grande Arome' rum cask had easily the nicest nose. Floral and sweet. The rum was first aged in bourbon casks and finished in rum casks and notes of vanilla bourbon and sweet sugar ascend from the glass to the delight of the nostrils. There is little oil in the glass and the alcohol smell is strong reflecting the 53.7% cask strength.
In the Mouth 51/60
The first thing I noticed about the whisky in my mouth was an odd dryness, almost like that of a dry white wine. The aromas I noticed in the glass were present as flavours in pleasant combination, but the dryness muted the sweetness to some extent. In fact things seemed a tad bitter at the back of my throat, almost like an Orange Pekoe tea influence. I found if I let the scotch sit on my palate that there was vanilla, butterscotch, as well as a very light maltiness, but the dry tone left me wanting a little.
In the Throat 12/15
At full cask strength this is a little much in the throat. But as I let my ice cubes melt, the harshness evaporated as well. I was left with a pleasing butterscotch and light vanilla finish in my throat. The whisky seemed to pick up oil for the finish with the addition of the melted water from my ice cubes. Still that improbable dryness lingered right at the end.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
Cask strength offerings are a challenge for the palate. Flavours are exaggerated, and the alcohol bite can be intimidating. I experimented with ice and water until I found the right combination which gave me the greatest pleasure. I found the tinge of dryness exhibited by the Edradour 'Grande Arome' whisky lessened my enjoyment to some extent at full cask strength; but with ice and water the drink became much more. I must also say that after my drink was consumed, the floral notes left in the glass were a treat for my nostrils to enjoy.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Alessandra Ambrosio Pairs a Sports Bra and Short Shorts For Yoga
Alessandra Ambrosio wore a sports bra and short shorts for a yoga class in LA yesterday. Her fiancé, Jamie Mazur, brought their young son along to drop her off for the session. Later in the day, she was solo and covered up in a white top to run errands.
Alessandra hung out at home over the weekend, and tweeted about the unusually hot temperatures in LA. On Saturday, she tweeted about enjoying a pool day since it was "so hot in the west coast!" She was also at the beach Sunday, trying to cool off in the Pacific. Alessandra and Jamie had a big start to the Summer with the birth of their second child, Noah, in May. The excitement will continue over the next few months, with the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show around the corner. The spectacle doesn't air on CBS until December, but Alessandra's already gearing up to hit the runway. On Sunday night she posted an ad for the VS program with the caption, "it's almost show time!"

At the beginning of the 1970s, around the time he turned 30 and just as people were picking up on his droll, low-key work, Robert Kinmont decided to stop making art and retire to upstate California. Here, he lived a rural life surrounded by the wilderness he loved, raised his kids...oh, and built his own school, called Coyote. Legend has it that he taught his students at Coyote about human creativity by cooking breakfast for them over a camp stove set up on the floor of their art school classroom. Then in 1978 he closed the school and moved to Santa Rosa to be a carpenter, a trade he pursued for the next 20 years. About 5 years ago he went back into his studio and started making art again.
He makes whimsical sculptures from natural materials which reflect his love of the American wilderness – logs, twigs, wooden boards – but its his irreverent, personal photographs from the 60s which have the real charm. The series 8 Natural Handstands shows the artist in different outdoor settings doing handstands; the one at the top of the page in particular is a standout image, with Kinmont balanced on a rocky outcrop with a sweeping landscape behind him. Then there's My Favourite Dirt Roads, which shows exactly that: the artist's favourite tracks, captured on square format black and white. Seen out of context as individual images they might seem nothing much, but when you know the title of the series and appreciate Kinmont deadpan ways, they make perfect sense. Just About The Right Size is another series, this time of self portraits showing the bearded artist, not long before he went on his extended sabbatical, holding various everyday objects…which are, naturally, the size they really should be.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – More peer-reviewed scientific studies of the effects on wildlife of large-scale solar energy developments and operations are needed to adequately assess their impact, especially in the desert Southwest, according to a scientific literature review conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and published in the journal BioScience.
In their literature review, the authors of the paper, USGS scientist Jeffrey Lovich and Maryville College scientist Joshua Ennen, found that out of all the scientific papers they examined, going back well before the 1980s, only one peer-reviewed study addressed the direct impacts of large-scale solar energy development and operations on any kind of wildlife. Peer-reviewed studies are those that have been reviewed by experts in the same field of study and are then published in scientific journals.
One reason why there are few peer-reviewed studies is that the interest in developing alternative energy has grown exponentially in recent years and science has to "catch up." Opportunities for hypothesis-driven research on solar energy facilities of this scale, particularly research looking at baseline conditions before development, impacts of operation, or conditions after development, have been limited.
The authors pointed out that a great deal of information exists in environmental compliance documents and other unpublished, non-peer-reviewed literature sources, but that more peer-reviewed studies are greatly needed.
"The dearth of peer-reviewed studies, as shown by the USGS review, can happen whenever society rapidly embarks on major undertakings, such as developing large-scale solar projects," explained USGS director Marcia McNutt. "Our goal is to raise the visibility and accessibility of information of impacts of solar energy impacts on wildlife as these important projects move forward."
According to Lovich and Ennen, these studies are particularly important in sensitive habitats such as the desert Southwest with its wildlife diversity and fragile arid desert lands. "For example," said Lovich, "the desert tortoise is an ecological engineer whose burrows provide much-needed shelter for many other desert species. Yet large areas of habitat occupied by Agassiz's desert tortoise and some other at-risk species have potential for large-scale solar-energy developments."
The review paper findings can help the Bureau of Land Management and other agencies charged with solar siting, development, and operational responsibilities to identify, prioritize, and resolve information gaps relative to development and operational impacts to wildlife, and direct monitoring efforts.
The paper does not contain any new scientific findings; rather, it examined peer-reviewed, already published articles. This is a common way to assess the state of published knowledge on a topic, identify information and research gaps, and focus future projects.
The paper, Wildlife conservation and solar energy development in the desert Southwest, is authored by Jeffrey E. Lovich and Joshua R. Ennen.

Washington, D.C. (October 26, 2011) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Senior Vice President Matthew Bennett issued the following statement regarding the introduction of the Stop Online Piracy Act:
"PhRMA applauds the introduction of the Stop Online Piracy Act and looks forward to working with Chairman Smith and members of the House Judiciary Committee on an issue critical to innovation in the U.S.
"America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies invest billions of dollars each year researching and developing new medicines, and they depend on strong and reliable IP protections to continue their important work in research labs across the nation. Intellectual property rights afforded to America's pharmaceutical research companies help them recoup their incredible investments in the discovery of new medicines, and give them a chance to survive and fund further research in a highly competitive environment.
"In trying economic times, it is important that sound policies support America's innovative industries – which employ millions of Americans – by protecting the intellectual property on which they depend."

Photo Coverage: In The Spotlight- Hal Prince
The cast and creative team of The Phantom of the Opera just celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the show last weekendat the Majestic Theatre. The special evening featured an extended curtain call with remarks from producer Cameron Mackintosh and director Harold Prince, a specially-taped video greeting from composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (in London and unable to attend due to a back procedure) and original West End and Broadway star Sarah Brightman (their first joint interview in 30 years), a note from original Phantom Michael Crawford and on-stage post-show performances from current stars Hugh Panaro and Sierra Boggess, joined by international 'Phantoms' John Owen Jones, Ramin Karimloo and Peter Jöback.
Check out photos of the show's director Hal Prince in the BroadwayWorld.com series 'In The Spotlight' by acclaimed photographer Walter McBride below!
The longest-running show in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, directed by Harold Prince and produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Company, Inc., once again made theater history when it became the first Broadway show ever to celebrate its 25th Anniversary last night, January 26. Much of the Phantom family reunited for the special event, and the current cast was also be a big part of the festivities.
On Broadway, since its debut on January 26, 1988, The Phantom of the Opera has grossed over $888 million. Even now - as it celebrates its 25th Anniversary on Broadway - it is consistently among Broadway's highest-grossing shows and remains a box office champ. Earlier this year, the production shattered the house record at The Majestic by having its best weekly gross in its entire 25-year history. Total attendance is now over 15 million and it continues to play with no end in sight.

Summer predictions, a Foppa update and a Dave Fay tribute – and a late update on NY Rangers cap situation
July 18: Below is the original blog, but I've seen a few comments chastising me for suggesting the NY Rangers could afford Peter Forsberg as a free agent.
One reader said the Rangers only have $1 million in cap space. Wrong. They have a little more than $3 million, PLUS another $3 million in bonus money they can use to go OVER the $50.3 million salary cap. Whatever amount they go over in that $3 million pool, counts toward next year's cap. But, in reality, the Rangers have $6 million to spend on Forsberg.
I think he'd take that.
Back from a Disney vacation, where the Wonderful World totally shocked and awed me. What is the power bill for that place anyway? Unbelievable, simply amazing place, and my 3-year-old boy had quite the time, especially on the "Soaring Over California" ride, which I have trouble finding words to explain.
Anyway, it's 98 degrees here today and there is a spot on my lawn that looks like the uniforms of the 1973 San Diego Padres. So, what better time to make some hockey predictions? Read more…

Washington's prime-time fans
Turn on the television. Everywhere you look, Washington is the backdrop for dramas and comedies in a way the nation's capital hasn't enjoyed in ages.
There's ABC's "Scandal," which focuses on crisis management in the White House. Showtime's got "Homeland," and it's set at the CIA. HBO broadcasts "Veep," chronicling the follies of a fictional vice president's office. NBC has joined in with "1600 Penn" about a dysfunctional first family. And FX has "The Americans," tales of two KGB spies living in suburban Washington.
Story Continued Below
And it's not just television that's beaming with Washington programming. Online there are the series "House of Cards," "Chasing the Hill" and "Battleground." And as far as movies go, this year's Academy Awards nominees for Best Picture were sprinkled with Washington-themed projects: "Lincoln," "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty." Let's not forget the critical and commercial hit "Game Change," which earned HBO both Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
And if you've had enough of Washington, go see the new Hollywood blockbuster "Olympus Has Fallen," in which the city and its landmarks endure a barrage of explosions and gunfire.
The shows also enjoy fans in high places. President Barack Obama is hooked on "Homeland." Bill Clinton watches "Scandal." And Vice President Joe Biden even called Julia Louis-Dreyfus to congratulate her on her "Veep" Emmy win.
All in and all, the current slate of shows isn't bad for a town that's been dinged as "Hollywood for ugly people." And it's also not bad considering the city has historically not been an easy filming location and a place where Hollywood occasionally gets key details wrong. ("I'm still looking for a show that recognizes that Farragut North is not one block from Union Station," said ABC's Rick Klein, who appears in "Chasing the Hill.")
While Washington-based television has had its successes before — perhaps never more notably than with seven seasons of "The West Wing" on NBC from 1999 to 2006 or Fox's "24" from 2001 to 2010 — the sheer volume of current shows coupled with their critical acclaim makes this particular period something of a golden age for Washington-centric programming.
For those in the industry, there's no shortage of theories about why Washington is hot right now — everything from an increased interest fueled by Obama to a level of dysfunction that draws eyeballs like a car crash to a feeling that because of the Internet and intense scrutiny of politicians' every move, we see our leaders as flawed human beings, which makes for great drama and comedy, too.
Former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett, who left the White House in 2011 to co-create NBC's "1600 Penn," said one reason for the proliferation of shows with a Washington backdrop might be "that there's such a sense of frustration with politics right now."
"There's an interest in stories with real stakes and complicated, even compromised characters, and D.C. certainly can fit that bill," Lovett told POLITICO.
"There is definitely a trend, but it's informed more by the national dialogue than any think tank in Hollywood," said Brent Roske, the creator and executive producer of "Chasing the Hill." "Show creators are sociologists, and the recent presidential election builds its own wave of interest that Hollywood has to ride."
Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Vice President Selina Meyer in HBO's "Veep," which begins its second season on April 14, says there could be an Obama effect.
"People seem to be very engaged in politics; maybe that's got something to do with the fact that Obama's in office," she told POLITICO. "People are maybe more interested."

Making electricity from your own windmill is simple to do. Sustainable wind mill power is a safe, clean and efficient way to produce electricity. Sadly it might be very costly to buy commercial windmill generators. They are easily able to run into the tens of tens of thousands of dollars for a system that may or may not fulfill your needs all.
Is a procedure that converts electricity. To create solar radiation into power, and heat engines is used by solar energy uses Because all of its own power comes from the sun, it is a kind of renewable energy. There isn't any other source that is external. The Essendon Football Club collaborated with this firm to design which is a modern day display of efficient energy usage.
You can assemble solar power at home with easy that are directions. The owners manual Vimeo video is successful in directing you through the setup process. You are able to install the kit on your own and you won't need to call a tech. So you don't have to run from store to shop with a listing of things to buy, the the various tools and gear are all supplied. This will definitely not only save you money, but also time. Setting up the the system takes a maximum of the work of just one day. When you're through with the setup, it is possible to almost immediately start using the electricity that is complimentary from your solar power device and reduce your power bills.
Do install the solar panels near the area where you'd be working in. It'd make it so much more easy for you and you won't have wires crawling everywhere which could be potentially hazardous. Make sure you find a company that has years of experience installing solar energy panels.
Should you need to get off the grid, for when sunlight is not shining you'll need to store power. Purchase an efficient battery which allows one to power your home through the night. Alternatively, sell the energy back to the grid.
Another thing you have to be aware of when choosing a house is where it's located. In case your house is constructed quite a distance from your work and you need to use your own car, you're missing the point- you want to lessen your reliance on your automobile. Choices include using community transportation or sharing a trip.

SANTA CLARA — Colin Kaepernick insisted Wednesday he did nothing wrong regarding an April incident with a woman in Miami that spawned a police investigation and is now under review by the state attorney.
"The district attorney has the information today. At this point, I'm going to let them handle their business," Kaepernick said after practice. "I did nothing wrong in that incident, so I want to do everything I can to let the DA close this matter.
"(I'm) very eager to have the matter closed. But once again, just going to let the DA handle their business and wait for their decision."
Miami police have concluded their investigation.
Kaepernick, teammate Quinton Patton and Seattle Seahawks wideout Ricardo Lockette (a former 49er) were named in an April report by an unidentified female who claimed she partied with the trio before waking up naked in a bed in their apartment and eventually going to a hospital.
A Miami police report stated that the woman claimed to have had a previous relationship with Kaepernick but did not have sex with him that night. According to 911 audio, a hotel security guard and a man believed to be Lockette both called police asking to have the woman removed from the apartment.
"Our investigation has been presented to our (Miami-Dade) State Attorney's Office and we await their decision whether to prosecute or not," Miami Chief of Police Manuel Orosa told CSNBayArea.com on Wednesday.
Orosa said the three players, through their attorney, declined to be interviewed by police, and Orsa declined to comment on any evidence or toxicology results from the woman's test at a hospital.

Wisconsin Supreme Court accepts six new cases
Madison, Wisconsin - April 1, 2013
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has voted to accept six new cases. The Court also acted to deny review in a number of cases. The case numbers, issues, and counties of origin are listed below. The Court of Appeals' opinion for the newly accepted cases are hyperlinked.
2011AP2424-CR State v. Nancy J. Pinnow / 2012AP918 State v. Travis J. Seaton
In this certification involving two cases, the Supreme Court examines whether the failure to object to the closure of a public trial under the Sixth Amendment is to be analyzed on appeal under the forfeiture standard or the waiver standard.
Some background: The Court of Appeals has concluded that in each of these cases that Fond du Lac County Circuit Court, Judge Richard J. Nuss presiding, removed the public from the courtroom during jury selection without complying with the four-part Waller test.
Under Waller v. Georgia, 467 U.S. 39 (1984), the party seeking to close the hearing must advance an overriding interest that is likely to be prejudiced, the closure must be no broader than necessary to protect that interest, the trial court must consider reasonable alternatives to closing the proceeding, and it must make findings adequate to support the closure.
In State v. Pinno, the circuit court stated at the outset of the trial: "Other than the jury, nobody will be in the courtroom… I want no one else in here during the entire voir dire process until the jury is selected… I want no press in here either…"
Nancy Pinno's trial counsel did not object to the closure. Pinno filed a post-conviction motion for a new trial on the grounds that her constitutional right to a public trial was violated by the court's exclusion of the public during jury selection. The circuit court denied the motion after an evidentiary hearing, concluding that any error was harmless.
In State v. Seaton, the same circuit court judge excluded the public from the courtroom during jury selection, stating: "If it becomes necessary… I'm just going to excuse everybody in the courtroom, that's the way it's going to be…"
Travis Seaton's trial counsel did not object to the closure. Seaton filed a post-conviction motion for a new trial on the grounds that his constitutional right to a public trial was violated by the court's exclusion of the public during jury selection.
The circuit court denied a request for an evidentiary hearing on the motion as well as a request for the substitution of another judge to hear the motion. The court then concluded that the right to a public trial is not absolute, and that any violation was trivial.
On appeal, the Court of Appeals noted that only two exceptions excuse the closure of a public trial from being a constitutional violation. State v. Vanness, 2007 WI App 195, ¶9, 304 Wis. 2d 692, 738 N.W.2d 154. The first is where the trial court complies with the four-part test set forth in Waller. The trial court did not do so here. The second exception is where an unjustified closure (i.e., one that does not meet the Waller test) is trivial. A closure is trivial if it does not violate the core values of the Sixth Amendment, which are: (1) to ensure a fair trial; (2) to remind the prosecutor and judge of their responsibility to the accused and the importance of their functions; (3) to encourage witnesses to come forward; and (4) to discourage perjury. The closure of a trial that is unjustified and not trivial is considered a structural constitutional error subject to automatic reversal. See State v. Ford, 2007 WI 138, ¶43 & n.4, 306 Wis. 2d 1, 742 N.W.2d 61.
The Court of Appeals noted that it is undecided in Wisconsin law, and unsettled among other jurisdictions, as to whether a defendant's failure to timely object to a trial closure should be considered forfeiture or waiver of the error.
Forfeiture is the act of failing (either accidentally or strategically) to assert a right, whereas waiver is the act of affirmatively and deliberately relinquishing a right. Thus, if the right to a public trial is a forfeitable right, then it may be lost by a failure to object at trial. If the right to a public trial is a waivable right, then it is not lost by a failure to object at trial.
Pinno and Seaton argue that, as the right to public trial is a structural constitutional right, it can only be waived through an intentional relinquishment of the right. The State argues that the forfeiture rule should apply because an objection at trial would allow the circuit court to take corrective action and avoid appellate review. From Fond du Lac County.
2011AP1956 Kochanski v. Speedway Superamerica
In this case, the Supreme Court examines the "absent witness" jury instruction, which effectively allows jurors to presume that the party who has elected not to call certain witnesses is hiding relevant, adverse information from them.
Some background: James Kochanski suffered a broken arm and wrist injury when he slipped and fell on a snow-covered curb at a Speedway station in Milwaukee. The curb was painted yellow, but Kochanski didn't see it because it was covered with snow.
Kochanski and his wife sued Speedway for negligence and violation of Wisconsin's safe place statute. The case was tried to a jury. Kochanski, his wife, and two of his treating physicians testified at trial. The Kochanskis' attorney also offered into evidence Speedway's interrogatory responses indicating there were five Speedway employees working at the time James fell. Speedway did not call any witnesses at trial. Instead it played store surveillance footage of the accident. Speedway explained during its opening statement that it would not be calling witnesses because the video was sufficient to prove Speedway was not negligent.
Given Speedway's decision not to call any witnesses, the Kochanskis requested that the trial court give Wis. JI-Civil 410 to the jury. The instruction provides:
If a party fails to call a material witness within [its] control, or whom it would be more natural for that party to call than the opposing party, and the party fails to give a satisfactory explanation for not calling the witness, you may infer that the evidence which the witness would give would be unfavorable to the party who failed to call the witness.
The trial court decided to give the instruction over Speedway's objection. During closing argument, the Kochanskis' attorney commented on the fact that Speedway had not called any witnesses and suggested Speedway was withholding information from the jury. The jury concluded Speedway was negligent in failing to maintain its premises. It found Kochanski was not negligent. Speedway filed a motion to set aside the verdict and for a new trial. The trial court denied that motion.
Speedway appealed, and the Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that the trial court erred in giving the absent witness jury instruction to the jury because it allowed the jury to presume Speedway was deliberately hiding relevant, adverse information.
The Court of Appeals noted that while a trial court has broad discretion to decide whether to give a particular jury instruction, it must exercise that discretion to fully and fairly inform the jury of the rules of law applicable to the case and to assist the jury in making a reasonable analysis of the evidence. The court went on to note that the absent witness instruction should be given only if the uncalled witnesses are material and within the party's control or it would "more natural" for the party to call those witnesses and the party fails to satisfactorily explain the witnesses absence.
The Court of Appeals noted Speedway chose to use a videotape to prove it was not negligent, and it argued the videotape showed that conditions on the premises were kept up to a reasonably safe standard and that Kochanski fell as a result of his own negligence.
The Kochanskis argue that the trial court appropriately gave the absent witness instruction. They argue the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that there was not a sufficient showing the uncalled witnesses were material, in saying it was not "more natural" for either party to call Speedway's former employees because they were equally available to both parties, and that the Kochanskis did not sufficiently show Speedway failed to satisfactorily explain the witnesses absence. From Milwaukee County.
2011AP2833-CR State v. Robinson
In this case, the Supreme Court examines if a defendant's double-jeopardy rights were violated when the circuit court increased the total period of initial incarceration one day after imposing the original sentence.
Some background: On Jan. 22, 2011, the defendant, Jacqueline R. Robinson, was charged with possession of controlled substances – narcotic drugs – contrary to Wis. Stats. §§ 961.41(3g)(am), and 939.50(3)(i) and battery to police officer, contrary to Wis. Stats. § 940.20(2) and 939.50(3)(h). Robinson eventually entered guilty pleas to the charges.
On May 10, 2011, the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Judge Paul R. Van Grunsven presiding, sentenced Robinson to 42 months imprisonment (18 months initial confinement/24 months extended supervision) concurrent to any other sentence on one count and to 60 months imprisonment (24 months initial confinement/36 months extended supervision) concurrent to any other sentence on two other counts.
The next day, the judge sua sponte recalled this case and extended the sentence on the second two counts to 69 months imprisonment (33 months initial confinement/36 months extended supervision), concurrent to any other sentence.
On Nov. 14, 2011, Robinson filed a Rule 809.30 post-conviction motion to restore the prior sentence, asserting that the court violated the double-jeopardy clause of the U.S. and Wisconsin constitutions. The court denied the motion, finding there was no violation of the double-jeopardy clause because it had a mistaken understanding of the defendant's sentence in another case. In its remarks changing the sentence, the circuit court advised the parties it had made a mistake because it was under the impression a previously imposed sentence was consecutive when in fact was concurrent.
The trial court said this case was consistent with State v. Burt, 2000 WI App 126, 237 Wis. 2d 610, 614 N.W.2d 42 in that the court did not increase the sentence upon reflection, but instead increased it because the court was under the mistaken impression about another sentence. The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction and the trial court's decision to deny the motion.
Robinson contends her state and federal constitutional rights against double jeopardy were violated when the circuit court increased her sentence, arguing that the Court of Appeals' decision in this case is in conflict with an unpublished Court of Appeals' decision, State v. Crewz, (2007AP2381-CR).
In Crewz, two days after the initial sentencing, the case was recalled and the circuit court altered the sentence to provide it was consecutive rather than concurrent. In Crewz, the court could not determine the trial court made a good faith mistake and it posed a sentence contrary to what was clearly its original intent. Under the circumstances, the Crewz court concluded resentencing was impermissible. From Milwaukee County.
2011AP2733-CR State v. Lopez
This case examines the interplay of a trial court's discretionary power to accept a plea withdrawal and Wis. Stat. § 908.08, which allows child-abuse victims under the age of 16 to testify by video. More specifically, the Supreme Court reviews a Court of Appeal's decision regarding the determination of prejudice where the child victim turned 16 while the case was pending.
Some background: In October 2008, the state accused Minerva Lopez of physically abusing a girl who was 14 when the alleged abuse occurred. Staff at a child advocacy center in Madison recorded several interviews with the girl about the crimes. There were three interviews in total; two were conducted within a month of the girl being rescued from the abusive living situation. In them, the girl gives detailed descriptions of each act of abuse, which may have lifelong effects, including permanent disfigurement, scarring, and limb damage.
Lopez initially pleaded not guilty or not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. The state filed a pretrial notice of its intent to introduce audio-visual recordings of the interviews. The state sought to admit the interviews at trial pursuant to § 908.08, which creates a hearsay exception for the admission of recorded statements of children as a means of having them avoid mental and emotional strain that could be caused by giving direct testimony at trial. State v. Snider, 2003 WI App 172, ¶13, 266 Wis. 2d 830, 668 N.W.2d 784. The court may admit the recordings if certain criteria are met; among them is that the trial begin before the child's sixteenth birthday. See § 908.08(3)(a) and (4).
The circuit court granted the state's motion, finding the recordings satisfied the criteria in § 908.08. In November 2009, pursuant to a plea agreement, Lopez pled no contest to six counts of child abuse.
In May 2010, prior to sentencing, Lopez, by new counsel, filed a formal motion to withdraw her pleas. Lopez alleged in part that the pleas were unknowing, and that Lopez was rushed into making a decision regarding the plea. At the hearing, Lopez testified she wanted to go to trial. She said she had language difficulties with her first attorney because he did not speak perfect Spanish and did not use an interpreter when he talked with her. She said her attorney told her just before the plea that she should plead and if she did not take the plea that she would not be allowed to testify against her husband in another case. She said she felt the pressure by her attorney to plead, and she also said she did not understand the plea hearing very well.
The trial court, Judge Nicholas J. McNamara presiding, denied Lopez's motion for plea withdrawal. The trial court concluded that Lopez had established a fair and just reason for plea withdrawal. However, he agreed with the state's argument that the state would be substantially prejudiced because, with the passage of time since Lopez's pleas, the girl had turned 16 and the state would no longer be able to introduce the recorded statements under § 908.08. The court noted concerns that the girl would not remember the specific details of the abuse and that it could be traumatic for her to have to testify against her parents. Accordingly, the court denied the motion.
After sentencing, Lopez moved the court to reconsider its decision denying her presentencing motion to withdraw her pleas. The court denied the motion. Lopez appealed and a divided Court of Appeals reversed. The Court of Appeals ruled that the Legislature, in enacting Wis. Stat. 908.03(3)(a), made the policy decision that a witness no longer needs the protection afforded to children younger than 16 years old.
The Court of Appeals acknowledged that a decision to grant or deny a motion to withdraw a plea is within the circuit court's discretion, citing State v. Rushing, 2007 WI App 227, ¶16, 305 Wis. 2d 739, 740 N.W.2d 894; State v. Bollig, 2000 WI 6, ¶34, 232 Wis. 2d 561, 605 N.W.2d 199 (if the defendant demonstrates a fair and just reason to withdraw his or her plea, the burden shifts to the state to show that the state would be substantially prejudiced by plea withdrawal).
The Court of Appeals was not persuaded by the state's reliance on two cited cases, Bollig 232 Wis. 2d 561, ¶¶42-46 and Rushing, 2007 WI App 227, 305 Wis. 2d 739, 740 N.W.2d 894 explaining that: (1) those plea withdrawal cases do not involve the inadmissibility of recorded statements under § 908.08 due to a child turning 16, and (2) to the extent they deal with prejudice following from a faded memory, the cases involve much younger children where that problem is far more likely.
In addition to contending that the Court of Appeals' decision conflicts with Bollig and Rushing, the state says it violates the principle that it is within the trial court's discretion to allow a defendant to withdraw her plea before sentencing. See State v. Jenkins, 2007 WI 96, ¶29, 303 Wis. 2d 157, 736 N.W.2d 2.
Lopez contends that at the plea withdrawal hearing, the state only presented evidence regarding the girl's age, not the state of her memory. She notes the trial court found that the girl was physically and mentally able to testify in person and had done so in another case in which she was the victim of child abuse. From Dane County.
2012AP958 Milwaukee Co. v. Mary F.-R.
This case involves constitutional challenges to the involuntary commitment of a woman under Wis. Chapter 51, the state's mental health commitment law.
The Supreme Court is asked to examine two issues:
- Under State v. Bush, 2005 WI 103, 283 Wis. 2d 90, 699 N.W.2d 80, is a facial challenge to the constitutionality of a statute forfeited where the issue was presented to the circuit court, but not as a constitutional challenge, and where the constitutional argument does not challenge the entire statutory chapter?
- Does Wis. Stat. § 51.20(11), which provides a jury of only six people and requires only a five-sixths verdict for persons subject to involuntary commitment, violate equal protection, given that Chapter 980 provides persons subject to involuntary commitment a jury of 12 and requires a unanimous verdict?
Some background: Police brought Mary to the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex (MCMHC) after a neighbor called police at about 4:30 a.m. one day in 2011. The neighbor reported that Mary had thrown a bucket of water on a window of the neighbor's house and had threatened to shoot someone as she held an iron pipe or pole.
While investigating, police discovered Mary's home was barely habitable – the carpet appeared to be wet and had a mildew smell. The only things in the living room were two pails of water. There was no food in the apartment. All the appliances had been unplugged and their cords had been taken out and lined up. The stove had been dismantled and there were no lights or electrical power in the apartment. The officers did not find a gun. Mary was taken to the MCMHC.
Milwaukee County filed a petition for an involuntary commitment. At the initial probable cause hearing before a court commissioner, Mary made the following statement: "You'll hear a different story about what happened on that ward, and five 12-person jury demands—or six." At that same hearing, the court accepted Mary's pro se written filing, which stated that it was a "12 person jury trial demand."
At a subsequent probable cause hearing before a circuit court judge, Mary again orally requested a 12-person jury: "I want a 12-person jury demand." Mary's counsel never filed a formal demand for a 12-person jury.
The court held a jury trial on Dec. 8, 2011, slightly more than a week after the initial probable cause hearing. At the subsequent trial on the county's petition, the circuit court empaneled a jury of six persons, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 51.20(11). Neither Mary nor her attorney objected to the jury.
The jury found that the County had met its burden of proof, that Mary was mentally ill, that she was dangerous to herself and/or others, and that Mary was a proper subject for treatment. The circuit court entered a written order of commitment based on the jury's findings.
On appeal Mary argued, among other things, that the six-person jury and five-sixths vote provisions in Wis. Stat. § 51.20(11) violated her equal protection rights because a person subject to a commitment under Wis. Stat. ch. 980 is entitled to a 12-person jury that must reach a unanimous verdict.
The Court of Appeals concluded that Mary had forfeited the constitutional argument because (1) she had not argued the equal protection challenge in the circuit court and (2) she had accepted the six-person jury without objection.
Mary argued that because she was making a facial challenge to the six-person and five-sixths provisions of the statute, the challenge went to the circuit court's subject matter jurisdiction and could not be forfeited, even if not raised initially in the circuit court. Mary relied on Bush, 283 Wis. 2d 90, ¶¶14-19, and State v. Campbell, 2006 WI 99, ¶45, 294 Wis. 2d 100, 718 N.W.2d 659, as support for this categorical interpretation of the law.
However, the Court of Appeals interpreted Bush to have a much narrower scope and distinguished it from this case. It therefore found her constitutional challenge to have been forfeited and refused to address the substance of her challenge.
Mary has asked the Supreme Court to address the scope of the Bush decision and the substance of her equal protection challenge to the involuntary civil commitment law. From Milwaukee County.
2011AP2698-CR State v. Jackson
This case examines the holding in McMorris v. State and related Wisconsin case authorities in light of Wis. Stat. §§ 904.04(2)(b) and 904.05. The Supreme Court reviews whether homicide suspect Curtis L. Jackson's rights of compulsory process and fair trial were denied when his motion to enter evidence of the victim's reputation for violence was denied.
Some background: Jackson was charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon for the shooting death of Angelo McCaleb. Multiple witnesses, including Jackson, testified at Jackson's trial.
Although the details of the shooting and the events leading up to the shooting varied, it is undisputed that the events were triggered when Tanya Davis, a woman living at Jackson's house, borrowed Jackson's car to go to a bar on the evening of Nov. 4, 2008. Davis testified that while at the bar, she had drinks with McCaleb and his friend, Wayne Johnson.
Jackson called Davis while she was at the bar, asking her to return his car. Davis testified that she returned the car at around 10:30 p.m. and parked the car behind Jackson's house. Both McCaleb and Johnson drove behind Davis, but parked their car on the street and walked to the back of Jackson's house.
Jackson, McCaleb, and Johnson exchanged unpleasantries. Both McCaleb and Jackson walked back towards their respective cars. Jackson testified that he went to his car to retrieve a gun from the glove box because he feared an attack from McCaleb and Johnson. Jackson attempted to keep the gun hidden.
Jackson testified that he pushed McCaleb away from another female resident of his home because it appeared as though McCaleb was going to strike her. Jackson stated that McCaleb then angrily went back to his car and appeared to have retrieved something. Jackson then saw McCaleb "look me dead in the eye, comin' directly at me fast." Jackson testified that he told McCaleb not to "walk up on me," and then shot McCaleb because McCaleb was "closing ground."
Jackson called 911 to report the shooting. Jackson admitted to the shooting, but argued that his action was in self-defense. McCaleb died from the gunshot wound.
A jury found Jackson guilty of the lesser included offense of second-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon. Jackson moved for a new trial, alleging, among other things, that the trial court erroneously denied admission of evidence of McCaleb's reputation for violence, and that trial counsel was ineffective for providing an inadequate proffer as to McCaleb's reputation for violence. The trial court denied the motion.
Jackson appealed, unsuccessfully. The Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's discretionary decision to exclude evidence of McCaleb's reputation for violence. The Court of Appeals noted that Jackson's trial counsel had moved to admit three prior incidents of assaultive behavior by McCaleb, which occurred in 1995, 2004 and 2008. Jackson admitted that he was unaware of these incidents at the time he shot McCaleb, but argued that evidence of McCaleb's character trait was admissible under Wis. Stat. § 904.04(2) to show "motive, opportunity, intent and the absence of mistake or accident."
Citing McMorris v. State, 58 Wis. 2d 144, 205 N.W.2d 559 (1973), the Court of Appeals explained that "[w]hen the defendant seeks to introduce such evidence to establish his state of mind at the time of the affray, it must be shown that he knew of such violent acts of the victim prior to the affray."
Jackson claims that this application of McMorris precludes him from fully presenting his defense. From Milwaukee County.
Review denied: The Supreme Court denied review in the following cases. As the state's law-developing court, the Supreme Court exercises its discretion to select for review only those cases that fit certain statutory criteria (see Wis. Stat. § 809.62). Except where indicated, these cases came to the Court via petition for review by the party who lost in the lower court:

Regulatory Notice 10-57
Funding and Liquidity Risk Management Practices
In adverse circumstances, whether the result of firm-specific events or systemic credit events, the cost of funding a broker-dealer's operations could become prohibitively expensive; in extreme cases funding could become unavailable. FINRA expects broker-dealers to develop and maintain robust funding and liquidity risk management practices to prepare for adverse circumstances. Further, FINRA expects broker-dealers affiliated with holding companies to undertake these efforts at the broker-dealer level, in addition to their planning at the holding-company level. We are publishing this Notice to provide guidance in this effort.
Many of the practices outlined in this Notice were identified through FINRA examinations and a survey of 15 mid-sized and large broker-dealers that hold inventory positions and carry customer accounts. This Notice does not provide a comprehensive description of all appropriate funding and liquidity risk management practices. Each broker-dealer should determine which practices are best suited to its particular business, whether or not they are mentioned in this Notice. While much of the content in this Notice is directed to broker-dealers that carry inventory positions, other brokerdealers may also find it to be a valuable resource.
Questions regarding this Notice may be directed to:
- Eric Moss, Vice President, Emerging Regulatory Issues, or Mo Saleh, Director, Emerging Regulatory Issues, at (202) 728-8472.
- Amr M. El-Sabbagh, Director, Risk Oversight and Operational Risk, at (646) 315-8739.
